TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM:Patrick Gallegos, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:Copier/Printer Lease and Maintenance Agreements
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 6973:
1. Approving an agreement between the City of Seal Beach and De Lage
Landen Public Finance, LLC for the lease-purchase of copiers and printers
for the City of Seal Beach; and,
2. Approving a Service and Maintenance Agreement with C3 Office Solutions
for maintenance services for the leased copiers and printers including any
extensions or amendments thereof and any subsequent contract with De
Lage Landen Public Finance, LLC and C3 Office Solutions in relation
thereto; and,
3. Authorizing the City Manager to execute, on behalf of the City of Seal
Beach, a contract with De Lage Landen Public Finance, LLC and the
agreement with C3 Office Solutions.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City of Seal Beach has previously had a lease agreement through De Lage
Landen Public Finance and C3 Office Solutions for lease, service, and
maintenance for multiple printers and copiers throughout the city. The City’s
current lease agreement expired effective May 15, 2019. Many of the printers
throughout the City are currently aged and require frequent service to address
down time due to inoperability.
City staff has conducted an assessment and inventory of our existing printers,
copiers and the needs of current staff. It was determined that some locations
required additional copiers to preserve and secure sensitive information. There is
also a need to replace numerous existing printers and copiers due to excessive
service downtime and inoperability.

C3 Office Solutions has a Customer Care Maintenance Agreement that will provide
quick responses to service issues. The Customer Care Maintenance Agreement
states that if the machine does not perform to manufacturer’s specifications, and
C3 has been given the opportunity to remedy the situation, the City can request a
replacement device at no cost. C3 will replace the device with a like product to
include the same feature sets and print volume as the unit it is to replace. This
contract is based on actual prints, not being billed for prints in advance, regardless
of the number of devices.
The C3 Office Solutions contract also includes leveraging a negotiated Master
Billing Agreement that was made between the Trustees of the California State
University and Canon U.S.A. Inc. This agreement has been made available to all
local government entities at the city and county levels. The benefit of leveraging
this agreement is to use the negotiated lower costs of the agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact to the City will be a monthly lease payment of $3,049.45 with
an additional $1,562.28 for service and maintenance due monthly. The total
monthly payment is $4,611.73. The FY 2019-2020 Adopted Budget includes
sufficient funding to cover the monthly lease costs.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
MEASURE BB:
This item is not applicable to Measure BB, the Seal Beach Neighborhood and
Essential Services Protection Measure.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 6973:

SUBJECT:Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures,
Inc. for Lifeguard Headquarters Needs Assessment
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 6974 awarding and authorizing the City
Manager or designee, to execute a professional services agreement with Griffin
Structures, Inc., in the amount of $32,500 for the Lifeguard Headquarters Needs
Assessment.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Fiscal Year 2019-20 Capital Improvement Program includes the Lifeguard
Headquarters Needs Assessment. This study will address operational practices,
space usage alternatives, and space needs assessment for the Marine
Safety/Lifeguards Department.
Griffin Structures, Inc. (Griffin) submitted a proposal to provide program
management and needs assessment services for the Project in a not-to-exceed
cost of $32,500. The scope-of-work generally includes:
Determining the appropriate size to accommodate current and future
operational needs by conducting interviews and site verification.
Coordinating with the Project’s architect to develop various conceptual
plans to be evaluated.
Preparing a conceptual budget and schedule that is tailored to the City
budget.
Griffin offers expertise in strategic services and has provided needs assessment
services for numerous high-profile projects including the La Canada Flintridge City
Hall, Fullerton Community Center, and the Tustin Water Department Headquarters
and Emergency Operations Center.

Given the need to establish a detailed road map identifying the Lifeguard
Headquarters’ needs, staff finds Griffin’s proposal and cost to be reasonable and
within industry standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines because it can be
seen with certainty that approval of a professional services agreement will not have
a significant effect on the environment. Environmental impacts related to the
project construction will be assessed under a separate effort.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the agreement and resolution as to
form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The approved FY 2019-2020 Capital Improvement Program Budget has allocated
$60,000 for the Project of which $32,500 will be utilized for Griffin’s program
management services.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
MEASURE BB:
This item is not applicable to Measure BB, the Seal Beach Neighborhood and
Essential Services Protection Measure.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 6974 awarding and authorizing the City

PROPOSAL FOR LIFEQUARD HEADQUARTERS FACILITIES
NEEDS ASSESSMENT SEPTEMBER 25, 2019
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Section 1: Introduction 1
Section 2: Proposed Scope of Work and Methodology 2
Section 3: Fee Requirement and Estimated Timeline 5
1
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
We understand that the City is interested in analyzing the needs for a new Lifeguard Headquarters Building, the
Police Safety Building, and the adjacent, detached Lifeguard Garage.
To address the City’s request, Griffin proposes to assess the space needs for replacing these facilities. This study
will be complete and thorough, address operational practices, alternatives of space usage, and the analytics of
space needs computation. Griffin will perform the following:
1. Determine the appropriate size of the Lifeguard Headquarters Complex based on current and future operations
by conducting interviews with staff and field verification trips.
2. Work with the City-contracted architect to develop conceptual plans for building new in a way that would
consider mitigating disruptions to current operations.
3. Prepare a conceptual budget and schedule while being mindful of the City’s budget constraints and considering
alternative cost scenario’s for the City’s consideration.
Experienced Team of Experts You Can Trust
Griffin offers a team of leading experts in construction and real estate. We partner with our clients to provide
expert advice and strategic solutions at every phase of the building process, from evaluation through delivery,
and including various management assessments, financial assessments, and capital master plans. With a Team
that understands construction, from inception through occupancy, Griffin brings a builder’s perspective that sets
us apart from our competition. Significantly, a very large percentage of Griffin’s work has been for government
organizations. We have managed the assessment, management, and delivery of multiple projects of various size
and complexity, from building assessments to renovation of office buildings to ground-up new construction. The
breadth of this background is considerable, and affects the quality and outcome of all our projects.
Our portfolio includes city administration buildings, commercial buildings, police, fire and public safety facilities,
libraries, community/senior centers, corporation yards, parks and trails, parking structures, and related infrastructure
improvements.
2
SECTION 2: PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK AND METHODOLOGY
SCOPE OF WORK
Griffin proposes to accomplish the following tasks:
• Tabulate operating assumptions for the Lifeguard
Headquarters facilities’ offices, office support,
meeting spaces, storage areas and garages.
• Based on the operational assumptions above, we
will compute the required space for each of the
facility. We will interview representative staff to
understand the building usage, emergency response
requirements, types of equipment, special storage,
and other needs to be accommodated. For example,
we will discuss the uses of new technology and their impacts on space needs, desk space needs, assembly
areas, locker facilities, and all other space elements associated with the staff and operations of the facilities.
• For each facility we will also identify the space needs associated with projected vehicle and rolling stock
requirements, and other outdoor elements needed in support of those operations.
• For each facility we will identify appropriate allowances for employee parking, visitor parking (as needed), and
related areas.
• For the Lifeguard Headquarters facilities as a whole, we will identify recommended central support and staff
amenity areas, as appropriate for these operations. Amenity areas include central locker facilities, training and
break rooms, and others as may be discussed and evaluated during the assessment.
• Review up to five (5) concept sketches by the City-contracted architect for the approved building program,
to demonstrate facilities can be accommodated on the existing site with consideration to keeping existing
operations in tact. These will ater be refined down to two options for costing purposes.
• Develop conceptual statement of probable cost based on building program and concept sketches to represent
the all inclusive cost for building, designing and outfitting the facilities.
DATA COLLECTION
At the onset of the project, Griffin’s approach is to review existing plans, area drawings, and city-supplied information
as a basis for building evaluations and current site usage. We also will use, as available, City information to evaluate
site topography, soil information and environmental requirements. We expect the interviews to include key staff
representatives to discuss how the specific department works, which will include questions as to workstations,
service requirements, storage requirements, and so on. We generally like to interview from the bottom up so our
discussions become more robust as we rise through the management chain. These interviews are essential for
obtaining information on projections and space use practices.
In addition, a physical survey (inventory of space use) will be used to obtain a baseline view of space in use
today, the numbers and dimensions of work areas in use, work flow and operational practices, and other critical
information.
3
DATA ANALYSIS
Future Staff and Operations
Based on our discussions with staff regarding future operational growth, Griffin will examine general projections
of City population growth, projected change in economic and demographic factors, and other parameters to assist
in our dialogue during the interviews. If and as necessary, and with department approval, we may contact City
planners to obtain information about general plan parameters which reflect demands for future service levels. We
expect that, in our interviews, we will also discuss effects, if any, of new storage technologies, computerization,
communications, security, and other systems.
Computing the Space Needs
Griffin will employ suitable space standards, based in part on information collected in the City and in part on
the best-practices in place in other communities or promoted by various agencies. These will be applied to the
projected operations and in order to arrive at space requirements for each area within the aforementioned facilities.
An allowance will be made for circulation, building access, mechanical and systems, and special areas to obtain a
total space requirement for the facility.
Space will be computed for present operations, to compare with what is occupied now, and for projected future
operations under the approved scenarios.
Conceptual Sketches
A key outcome of this project is the assessment of how the site will best accommodate the projected operations.
We will work with the City-contracted architect to develop a series of conceptual plans and block layout of the
projected operations to best align with the City’s expectations. We understand the PD substation will likely be
impacted and will plan accordingly and understand the lifeguard headquarters operation would like to better its
access and visibility.
In particular, the conceptual block sketches will
indicate Griffin and LPA’s best judgment as to
the preferred use of the site. The sketches will
include considerations of vehicle, personnel
movements, safety, and security at the site.
The site sketches will also be the basis for our
development of a conceptual statement of
probable cost.
Conceptual Statement of Probable Cost
With the quantitative and functional space
requirements determined as described above,
a high-level conceptual statement of probable
cost will be prepared for suitable decision
4
making at this stage of analysis. The costs will be based on unit and major component cost factors, and on high-level
design information and assumptions. Griffin’s Team has very current experience with the delivery of facilities with
similar functions, and will reflect local construction conditions and the local bid market. The conceptual statement
of probable cost will be presented in such a manner so that, once approval to proceed is given and design is taken
further, the estimate can be refined.
The cost model will include “total project costs” to the degree possible. Site costs will be prepared based on
information requested of, and provided by, the City. Griffin will include allowances for pre-development costs,
building construction costs, demolition costs, architectural and engineering costs, program and construction
management, other fees and permits, consulting costs, insurance costs, entitlement costs (if applicable), FF&E
allowance, landscaping, relocation and staging allowances (if applicable), reasonable contingencies, and other
appropriate components of total project costs, based on input from the City. Costs will be based on site condition
information as available.
5
SECTION 3: FEE REQUIREMENT AND ESTIMATED TIMELINE
FEE
For this work, Griffin Structures, Inc., proposes a lump-sum Professional Services Fee of $32,000 (thirty-two
thousand dollars), plus a $500 allowance for reimbursable expenses.
Invoices for work will be presented monthly, based on Griffin’s estimate of percentage of work completed. This
fee is based on any and all reasonable costs necessary to provide the scope of services described in this Proposal.
TIMELINE
For the work proposed, Griffin will complete this project with delivery of all project materials within 4 months from
the project start (kick-off). The final report will be submitted at the end of this period, including a presentation to
the City if so directed. This timeframe assumes the required availability of staff for interviews, ready availability
of plans and other materials which will be requested, access to the existing facility for survey, timely reviews and
approvals to proceed at each review point, and a continuous project work plan.

SUBJECT:Professional Services Agreement with John L Hunter and
Associates, Inc. for NPDES and Water Conservation
Services
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 6975 awarding and authorizing the City
Manager to execute a professional services agreement with John L Hunter and
Associates, Inc. in the amount of $499,525, over a five year period, for NPDES
and Water Conservation Services.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Services
Under the California Water Quality Control Board, the NPDES MS4 (Storm Water)
Permit regulates municipal storm water discharges and requires co-permittees
(including Seal Beach) to develop programs and implement policies to reduce the
discharge of pollutants associated with storm water runoff. The purpose of the
NPDES MS4 Permit is to protect water quality standards of receiving waters, such
as the San Gabriel River and the Pacific Ocean. The City of Seal Beach partners
on the program with all of the cities in Orange County and the County itself. This
partnership allows for cost savings amongst all of the agencies and gains buy in
from all of the agencies.
The latest NPDES MS4 Permit for the Santa Ana Region of Orange County was
adopted May of 2009 and extends for a term of five years. Even though this permit
has been expired for some time, the Regional Board has been operating under
terms since its inception. Currently, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board is drafting the Fifth Term NPDES MS4 Permit; however; it is still quite
uncertain when a new Permit will be adopted. The forthcoming NPDES MS4
Permit is all but contain to additional tasks and requirements outside of those
currently being provided.
John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc. (JLH) has been working with the City as its
NPDES consultant and program coordinator since 2006 and as its water
6
3
2
conservation consultant since 2014. JLH provides overall program management
which includes quarterly and yearly reporting to the Regional Board, New program
development, Water Quality Management Plan review and inspections, Public
Education, training and water quality inspection and enforcement services. JLH is
also heavily involved in many regionally specific programs like the Seal Beach
Trash Amendments implementation, local watershed TMDL programs and the San
Gabriel River Area Trash reduction and coordination.
Seal Beach has successfully passed numerous audits of the program by the
Regional Water Quality Control Board while other cities have been fined well over
$100,000. Additionally, JLH has worked well with the various departments of the
City being involved in private development and various enforcement activities.
Water Conservation Services
Due to water conservation state regulations, and then the recent drought that
occurred, Sacramento mandated that all water agencies throughout the state
implement water conservation measures, which the City implemented back in
2014. Although many of these emergency measures have since been lifted when
the drought was declared over, the City has left numerous water conservation
measures in effect with the understanding that future state regulations are
forthcoming as California pushes to make water conservation a way of life.
At the time of the drought, the City retained JLH to implement our water
conservation program and to assist the City in an educational campaign. Public
education was primarily performed though a water efficiency inspector, touring the
City and making educational visits. Other components of JLHA’s service included:
Development of various forms, door hangers, flyers, etc.
Press releases to local and regional newspapers
SBTV-3 interview
Bus bench and shelter advertising
City recreation guide article
Presentation at City Council meeting
Water billing inserts
City educational booth at public events
Attendance and numerous resident group meetings
At the time of the drought, JLH provided weekly water inspection enforcement,
record keeping, and educational information outreach. When the drought was lifted
by the state, the City reduced the services requested of JLH for water conservation
to more of an on-call system that should the City need JLH services, they were
available, but not on a weekly, consistent basis. As the State approves and
implements permanent water conservation requirements the services that JLH
provides the City can be increased, reduced and/or modified to meet the City’s
needs.

JLH is very familiar with the City’s NPDES program and Water Conservation
Program and provides prices that are very competitive for the market. JLH
performs this service for several other cities within Orange County and LA County.
Staff has worked with JLH for the past 13 years and they have proven to be
competent in their work ability and experts of the work to be performed. Our staff
has been satisfied with John L Hunter and Associates, Inc. services. This
agreement would be for five years until November of 2024.
This agreement is for five years for a total amount of $499,525, at $99,905 per
year. Many of the programs and services that are offered with these programs are
“as-needed” which means the City can elect not to use any of these services if they
are not needed. If the full allotment of services offered is utilized, then the $99,905
would break down as follows:
Account Amount
001-043-44000 General Fund Storm Drains account $70,240
001-000-20262 Developer Fees $10,440
017-900-4400 Water Enterprise Fund $19,225
Total $99,905
The contractual price per year, for JLH General Fund related NPDES Services,
under the prior agreement was for $62,100 per year. Over the past five years, the
City has averaged $52,592 in GF expenditures per year which was under the full
contractual amount. The main differences between the prior agreement and the
current proposal include additional state requirements, new trash regulations, and
local watershed management.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The approval of Professional Services Agreements is not subject to California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the public works agreement and
resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds have been allocated in the approved FY 2019-2020 budget under
both General Fund Storm Drains 001-043-44000 and Water Enterprise Funds 017-
900-44000 for these services. The City will bring requests for appropriate funding
during the budget process for future years under the terms of this agreement.

Table 1 lists the municipal NPDES services currently or recently provided by JLHA to municipal clients. The
following are summaries of JLHA’s experience related to municipal NPDES Permit compliance.
1. Municipal NPDES Permit Compliance
JLHA has considerable experience in Municipal NPDES Permit compliance programs, beginning with the
inception of the Phase I MS4 Permits in the 1990s. Currently JLHA implements elements of such programs
for 45 cities in the Southland. Services include the following:
· 30 cities and 4 watershed groups: Program administration and/or technical support,
· 34 cities: Field services such as BMP compliance inspections,
· 23 cities: Plan review and approval (e.g., SUSMP/LID Plans, WQMPs, and SWPPPs),
· 36 cities and 3 watershed groups: Reporting (e.g., annual, TMDL, and/or watershed reports), and
· 35 cities and 3 watershed groups: Staff training.
Relevant and recent activities include:
· Representing cities in MS4 NPDES audits conducted by Regional Water Board staff,
· Obtaining and administering grants for stormwater capture and LID projects,
· Managing BMP inspection programs that cover in total approximately 10,000 sites,
· Developing watershed management programs under the area-wide LA MS4 NPDES Permit.
JLHA also served as the lead consultant for the development of the Watershed Management Programs
(WMPs) for the Lower Los Angeles River (LLAR), Lower San Gabriel River (LSGR), City of Long Beach, and
Peninsula Cities Watershed Groups, and served as a sub-consultant for the development of the WMP for
the Los Cerritos Channel (LCC) Watershed Group. As part of WMP development, JLHA also oversaw the
development of Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Programs (CIMPs) for the LLAR, LSGR, and Peninsula
Cities Watershed Groups. All plans were approved by the Regional Board in 2015 and 2016. Together the
member agencies of these Watershed Groups represent 20 MS4 NPDES Permittees.
JLHA serves as the consultant team lead for the Nearshore, LLAR, LSGR, and Peninsula Cities Watershed
Groups. Services include administering monitoring activities, watershed annual reporting, technical
committee meetings, and select implementation efforts such as feasibility studies. In this capacity JLHA
also regularly interfaces with city councils and Regional Board staff and members. JLHA also represents
twelve municipal clients in watershed management groups for the Upper Los Angeles River, Upper San
Gabriel River, Dominguez Channel and Los Cerritos Channel. In Orange County JLHA represents six
municipal clients in watershed management group planning activities, covering the Coyote Creek/San

B. Track Record
JLHA has aided municipalities comply with environmental regulations since its incorporation in 1985. Since
that time JLHA has maintained a track record of meeting project schedules and providing project
deliverables on-time, on-budget, and to client’s satisfaction. This may be verified by contacting JLHA’s
existing and past clients, including those listed in the References Section of this proposal.
Another metric for JLHA’s ability to meet project schedules is through its success in representing clients
in Regional Water Board NPDES Program audits. These audits included detailed reviews of records for
NPDES sub-programs managed and implemented by JLHA Project Teams. Of the many Regional Water
Board NPDES Program audits that JLHA personnel participated in, none resulted in enforcement actions.
C. Staffing Capability and Current Work Load
JLHA consists of 20 full-time staff and 5 part-time staff. This includes 1 principal, 2 directors, 5 project
managers, 5 engineers, 5 field inspectors, 4 project analysts, and 3 administrative staff. All staff operate
out of JLHA’s office at 6131 Orangethorpe Ave, Suite 300, in Buena Park, California. JLHA subcontracts
additional services as-needed such as water quality monitoring and laboratory analysis, outfall screening,
construction management, and computational analysis. The Municipal NPDES Personnel listed in the
following section will be available to provide any of the services listed on this proposal within the term of
services.
D. Relevant Staff Credentials
Staff credentials include certified professionals in engineering, stormwater quality, BMP (Best
Management Practice) inspection, erosion control, SWPPP development and implementation, and

II. Scope of Work
JLHA welcomes the opportunity to continue to provide professional MS4 NPDES services to the City of
Seal Beach. This section details the approach to complete the Scope of Work (SOW). The timeframe of
this proposal is for a period of one year. The services provided may be extended for additional years upon
written agreement by the City and JLHA. This proposal is considered valid for a period of ninety (90) days
from the date of submittal.
The tasks listed in the following tables include “Task Detail” information that describe the approach and
methods the Project Team will use to meet the SOW and contractor requirements. The Project Team does
not anticipate any significant concerns or problems during the term of this contract. The primary concern
is budgeting, as annual variability in workload within the SOW is an unknown, within certain limits.
However from past experience, the Project Team expects the not-to-exceed (NTE) annual estimate
provided in the proposal to be sufficient for the services provided.

K. Monitoring and Reporting Program
Table 15 lists the tasks for the Monitoring and Reporting Program. Note that the City participates in a cost-
share agreement for select MS4 NPDES Permit implementation services with the County of Orange—the
Principal Permittee under the MS4 NPDES Permit. This includes the continued development and
implementation of a Monitoring Program, and as such this service is outside the scope of work of this
proposal. The Monitoring Program however does require some administrative oversight by the affected
Permittees, including the City. JLHA’s assistance with this oversight is incorporated into the Program
Management task. In addition, the City is required to conduct a source investigation if the County’s dry
weather monitoring indicates an exceedance of tolerance intervals for a given pollutant from an outfall
monitored within the City. JLHA’s assistance with these investigations is incorporated into the Illicit
Discharge Detection and Elimination Program.
The reporting scope of work deadlines are dependent upon timely responses from City staff. Although
JLHA will endeavor to prepare reports that comply with the requirements of the Regional Water Quality
Control Board, the Board’s assessment of the Report in terms of MS4 NPDES Permit compliance depends
on the information provided by the City.
Table 15. Monitoring and Reporting Program
Permit § Task # Task
MRP.III K.1 Reporting
K.1.a Prepare the City’s Individual MS4 NPDES Annual Report (PEA)
Task detail: JLHA will prepare numeric elements of the Annual Report by the
end of September to meet the countywide internal deadline. A draft of the
complete Annual Report will be submitted to the City for review one month
prior to submittal in mid-November. After incorporating comments and
corrections from city staff, the final version of the Annual Report will be
submitted to the Regional Board by the mid-November deadline.
K.1.b Prepare quarterly reports for Industrial/Construction NPDES Permit facilities
Task detail: JLHA will prepare and submit to the Regional Board quarterly
reports that summarize inspection and enforcement activities at
Industrial/Construction NPDES Permit facilities within the City.
K.2 Record Keeping and Database Management
K.2.a Update and maintain online GIS database(s) of program records
Task detail: This includes records for all programs provided under the scope
of work, such as monitoring sites and monitoring results, project and BMP
location data, and industrial/commercial facility and construction site
inventories, inspection results, investigations, and enforcement actions. The
City’s MS4Front NPDES database management system will be used for much
of this record keeping, and ArcGIS online will be used as a supplemental tool.
The Project Team is familiar with MS4Front and its capabilities—such as the
creation of customizable forms—through several years of regular use for a
number of clients. The Project Team will also update and maintain a website

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE:November 12, 2019
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM:Patrick Gallegos , Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:Authorizing Reclassification of the Senior Community
Services Officer to Management Analyst
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 6976 authorizing reclassification of the
Senior Community Services Officer - Crime (Detectives) to a Management Analyst.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In November 2017, the City Council received and filed the Final Report of the
Classification and Compensation Study (“Study”) completed by Koff & Associates
(“Koff”). The Study updated the classification plan for the approximately 54
classifications representing 89 full-time and 128 part-time employees by matching
labor and benchmark classes most closely representing the City of Seal Beach
with 12 other comparable agencies.
As part of the Study, Koff examined the classification of Senior Community
Services Officer – Crime (Detectives) and recommended that the position be
reclassified to a Crime/Technology Analyst. This recommendation was based on
the data collected from the Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ) survey, job
analysis interview with the incumbent and supervisor, as well as a review of job
descriptions and class specifications of comparable positions.
The findings concluded that the duties and responsibilities of the incumbent (Kevin
Edwards) Senior Community Services Officer – Crime (Detectives) had evolved to
a higher level and were not commensurate with the current job title and
classification. Almost two years have passed since the Study was completed and
since that time the duties of the incumbent have expanded even further and
beyond the confines of the police department. The incumbent currently performs
duties that are completely outside of a typical Senior Community Services Officer.
The incumbent has a myriad of duties, most prominently related to crime data and
analysis, but also manages and supports a number of information technology
projects outside of the police department including working with the Assistant City
Manager to advance citywide technology goals and objectives. Some of these
6
3
3
goals include the upgrade and replacement of outdated City phones,
improvements to internet connectivity, security enhancements, implementation of
Office 365, installation of citywide license plate readers, and development of an
information technology strategic plan, to name a few of the duties outside of his
current scope of work. If the Council authorizes the reclassification that is being
requested, it is expected that the incumbent’s duties and responsibilities will
continue to evolve and he will play a more significant role in information technology
citywide. While his main duties will be within the police department, as a
Management Analyst the City will be better suited to use his knowledge and
experience across City departments.
Though the Study endorses a reclassification to Crime/Technology Analyst, the
recommendation is only a point-in-time assessment of the position circa 2017.
Additionally, the Study is by no means a personnel directive, but rather a resource
the City may utilize in combination with its own institutional knowledge of the
organization.
The incumbent (Kevin Edwards) has been a full-time employee for the City of Seal
Beach (within the police department) since October 2005 and has been in his
current classification as Senior Community Services Officer since April 2009.
Additionally, it should be noted that the Management Analyst classification requires
a Bachelor’s Degree which currently the incumbent is a semester away from
receiving. However, given the incumbent’s lengthy work history with the City of
Seal Beach coupled with his considerable breadth and knowledge of the City’s
information technology infrastructure, he holds the skills necessary to excel as a
Management Analyst. As a condition of this reclassification, the incumbent will be
placed on probation during his tenure as a Management Analyst until the
completion of his Bachelor’s Degree which shall be by the end of the 2020 calendar
year. Should the incumbent not receive his Bachelor’s Degree by the end of
calendar year 2020, he shall retain the classification of Senior Community Services
Officer.
The Senior Community Services Officer is represented by the Orange County
Employees Association (OCEA). The Personnel Officer (City Manager) has
complied with the requirements of Article II, Section 7.C of the Employer-Employee
Relations Resolution in determining that the Management Analyst classification
should be allocated to the Seal Beach Mid-Management Association bargaining
unit as a Mid-Manager. OCEA and the Mid-Management Association were officially
notified.
Based on these factors and the City’s needs, staff recommends authorization of
this reclassification.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The additional costs in salary and benefits will be approximately $13,500 for the
remainder of the fiscal year. It is anticipated that there will be sufficient funding
available from various vacant positions to cover the additional cost of the
reclassification to Management Analyst.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is applicable to the Strategic Plan as this staff member is the project
manager on the installation of citywide license plate readers and city-wide
improvement to IT Services.
MEASURE BB:
This item is applicable to Measure BB, the Seal Beach Neighborhood and
Essential Services Protection Measure as it enhances the police department’s
ability to investigate crimes and improve information technology needs citywide.

That the City Council adopt Resolution 6976 authorizing reclassification of the
Senior Community Services Officer - Crime (Detectives) to a Management Analyst.

On behalf of EXP US Services, Inc. (EXP), we are pleased to provide the City of Seal Beach with a scope
for civil engineering services for the above-mentioned project. We have reviewed the documents

As shown in our submittal of qualifications for the on-call contract, EXP is a full-service professional
consulting firm specializing in civil and transportation engineering, grant writing, land development,
surveying, traffic engineering, environmental services, geotechnical services, public outreach and
construction management. We provide our services to a variety of public agencies and private clients
throughout the United States.
Our team works closely to ensure that function and form are achieved during the design process; a
true benefit which comes from the internal communications between our engineer’s, planners and
surveyors. The majority of our projects include all aspects of design including facilitation at
community workshops, conceptual and final design, bid assistance, and construction administration.
We have an outstanding team of professionals ready to begin your work.
We thank you once again for your consideration of our scope of services and we look forward to
assisting you with the street improvements for the Annual Local Paving Program. Should you have

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We have prepared a scope of services based on our understanding of the project after reviewing
research provided by the City, meeting with City staff and completing an initial site visit. The
proposed projects are located on the various streets:
· Main Street - Electric Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway (750-feet)

· Violet Street - Elder Avenue to Fir Avenue (250-feet)
· Oleander Street - Almond Avenue to Fir Avenue (1,400-feet)
· Fir Avenue - Rose Street to Heather Street (1,600-feet)
The City is proposing to replace the AC pavement at the various locations above. Our civil designer
and project engineer will perform a field walk to verify all field dimensions.
Looking at the existing conditions, size and nature of the project, we feel the design can be completed
and approved through the City in 3-months. Because of the time of year, our schedule accounts for
the holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Once an NTP is given, we will provide
the City with a final schedule.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We have prepared a scope of services based on our understanding of the project after reviewing
research provided by the City, meeting with City staff and completing an initial site visit. The
proposed project is located at the intersection of Welcome Lane and First Street.
The City is proposing to upgrade the ADA ramps on the west side of the Welcome Lane and First
Street intersection. Our surveyor will provide survey services to support our design.
Looking at the existing conditions, size and nature of the project, we feel the design can be completed
and approved through the City in 2-months. Because of the time of year, our schedule accounts for
the holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Once an NTP is given, we will provide
the City with a final schedule.

SUBJECT:Public Hearing and Adoption of an Ordinance of the City of Seal
Beach City Council Amending the City of Seal Beach Municipal
Code by Modifying Title 9 Chapter 9.60 Building Code thereof
and Adopting by Reference The 2019 California Residential
Code, 2019 California Electrical Code, 2019 California
Mechanical Code, 2019 California Plumbing Code, 2019
California Fire Code and 2018 International Swimming Pool and
Spa Code with Certain Amendments, Additions and Deletions
thereto
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council hold the duly-noticed public hearing, receive the staff report
and adopt after the second reading the attached ordinance amending the Seal
Beach Municipal Code Chapter 9.60 by repealing Section 9.60.020 California
Codes Adopted by Reference and Amended and Section 9.60.040 Pool and Spa
Code from Chapter 9.60 and substituting with new Section 9.60.020 California
Codes Adopted by Reference and Amended and 9.60.040 Pool and Spa Code
adopting by reference and amend the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part
2 California Building Code, Part 2.5 California Residential Code, Part 3 California
Electrical Code, Part 4 California Mechanical Code, Part 5 California Plumbing
code and Part 9 California Fire Code and International Pool and Spa Code. The
ordinance was introduced at the October 28, 2019 City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The model codes (or “uniform codes”) the City adopts for Building, Residential,
Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing Codes are periodically published in new and
updated editions. The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) adopts
and amends each of these Codes to create the California Building, Residential,
Fire, Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing Codes. California cities may adopt
these model codes as the official building codes for the City. State law sets out
the process for adopting these model codes with local amendments, if necessary.
6
2
9
This helps California builders and the public to know that, generally, the rules for
construction are relatively stable across the State.
The 2019 California Codes were published on July 1, 2019 and will become
effective on January 1, 2020. The City must have the codes adopted and in effect
by that date.
California’s model building codes are published by the following three (3) entities:
International Code Council (ICC) publishes Parts 1, 2 (includes 8 and 10),
2.5, 6, 9, 11 and 12 of Title 24, the Administrative, Building with Historical
and Existing Buildings, Residential, Energy, Fire, Green and Referenced
Standards Codes.
International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO)
publish Parts 4 and 5 of Title 24, the California Mechanical and Plumbing
Codes.
BNi Building News publishes Part 3 of Title 24, the California Electrical
Code.
California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, also known as the California
Building Standards Code is a compilation of three (3) types of building criteria from
three (3) different origins:
Building standards that have been adopted by state agencies without
change from building standards contained in national model codes;
Building standards that have been adopted and adapted from the national
model code standards to meet California conditions; and
Building standards, authorized by the California legislature, that constitute
extensive additions not covered by the model codes that have been adopted
to address particular California concerns.
Notwithstanding, the national model code standards adopted into Title 24 apply to
all occupancies in California except for modifications adopted by state agencies
and local governing bodies.
Starting in 1989, CBSC has published triennial editions of Title 24 in their entirety
every three years.
California Building Standards Law refers to the portion of state law within Health
and Safety Code, Division 13, Part 2.5, commencing with Section 18901. The
provisions of Part 2.5 govern the work of the California Building Standards
Commission and how the building standards are to be adopted and published. It
also mandates that California Building Standards Code, in Title 24 of the California
Code of Regulations, applies to all building occupancies throughout the state.
While state law requires local government to enforce Title 24 of the California Code
of Regulations as local standards, the law allows local government to enact local
6
2
9
requirements, often called local amendments to Title 24. These local amendments
must be based on specified local climatic, or topographical conditions. When a city,
county, or city and county enacts local amendments, a copy of the local
amendment along with an express finding that such amendment(s) is reasonably
necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, must
be filed with the California Building Standards Commission.
No local amendment is enforceable unless filed with the California Building
Standards Commission but in any case, cannot be enforceable earlier than
January 1, 2020.
While jurisdictions can establish their own administration of the codes, jurisdictions
are only allowed to amend the requirements of the State Codes based on local
climatic, topographical, or geological conditions, and only if the requirement is
more restrictive than the current State Code. Findings must be made for each
amendment to the State Codes, and a copy of these findings must be filed with the
Building Standards Commission.
2019 Code Amendments compared to 2016 Code Amendments
Certain sections of the Building Code and Residential Code is adopting by
reference the same sections of the Fire Code instead of repeating similar items
throughout the municipal code in different sections. This way a greater code
correlation is achieved and creates a simpler code adoption process as well.
Amendments regarding Seismic Requirements remained the same. Certain
amendments are not carried over since the California Codes already addressed
them at this code cycle.
Amendments regarding Fire Sprinkler Requirements are simplified based on the
recommendation of OCFA that will create fewer burdens for small additions and
alterations. Certain amendments are not carried over since the California Codes
already addressed them at this code cycle.
The current Swimming Pool and Spa Code is also adopted and the administration
of the said code correlated to the Building Code administration.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to the State of California Public Resources Code and State Guidelines
for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Community Development
Department has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from
environmental review per Section 15060(c)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:

action.

This item is not applicable to Measure BB.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council hold the duly-noticed public hearing, receive the staff report

ATTACHMENT A
LOCAL AMENDMENT FINDINGS
26
LOCAL AMENDMENT FINDINGS
I. Climatic Conditions
A. Orange County is located in a semi-arid Mediterranean type climate. It
annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little or
no precipitation. Hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds, which may reach speeds of
70 M.P.H. or greater, are also common to the area. These climatic
conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building
materials. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire
danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires
(conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings,
these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the County.
Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, street lights
and utility poles will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident
scene.
B. The climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief
flooding conditions. Flood conditions may affect the Orange County fire
Authority’s ability to respond to a fire or emergency condition. Floods also
disrupt utility services to buildings and facilities within the County.
C. Water demand in this densely populated area far exceeds the quantity
supplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to
grow, the already-taxed water supply does not. California is projected to
increase in population by nearly 10 million over the next quarter of a
century with 50 percent of that growth centered in Southern California.
Due to storage capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of
rainfall future water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates
the need for additional and on-site fire protection features.
D. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of
even small fires originating in high-density housing or vegetation. These
fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire
protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire
protection features will supplement normal fire department response by
providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by
containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire
sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as
much as 50 to 75 percent.
II. Topographical conditions
A. Natural; slopes of 15 percent or greater generally occur throughout the
foothills of Orange County. The elevation change caused by the hills
creates the geological foundation on which communities with Orange
County is built and will continue to build. With much of the populated
27
flatlands already built upon, future growth will occur on steeper slopes and
with greater constraints in terrain.
B. Traffic and circulation congestion is an artificially created, obstructive
topographical condition, which is common throughout Orange County.
C. These topographical conditions combine to create a situation that places
fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk and makes it
necessary to provide automatic on-site fire-extinguishing systems and
other protection measures to protect occupants and property.
III. Geological Conditions
The Orange County region is a densely populate d area that has buildings
constructed over and near a vast and complex network of faults that are
believed to be capable of producing future earthquakes similar or greater in
size than the 1994 Northridge and the 1971 Sylmar earthquakes. Earthquake
faults run along the northeast and southwest boundaries of Orange County.
The Newport-Inglewood Fault, located within Orange County was the source
of the destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake (6.3 magnitude) which took
120 lives and damaged buildings in an area from Laguna Beach to Marina
Del Rey to Whittier. In December 1989, another earthquake occurred in the
jurisdiction of Irvine at an unknown fault line. Regional planning for
reoccurrence of earthquakes is recommended by the state of California,
Department of Conservation.
A. Previous earthquakes have been accompanied by disruption of traffic flow
and fires. A severe seismic event has the potential to negatively impact
any rescue or fire suppression activities because it is likely to create
obstacles similar to those indicated under the high wind section above.
The October 17, 1989, Santa Cruz earthquake resulted in one major fire in
the Marina District (San Francisco). When combined with the 34 other
fires locally and over 500 responses, the department was taxed to its
fullest capabilities. The Marina fire was difficult to contain because mains
supplying water to the district burst during the earthquake. This situation
creates the need for both additional fire protection and automatic on-site
fire protection for building occupants. State Department of Conservation
noted in their 1988 report (Planning Scenario on a Major Earthquake on
the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone, page 59), “unfortunately, barely
meeting the minimum earthquake standards of building codes places a
building on the verge of being legally unsafe.”
B. Road circulation features located throughout the County also make
amendments reasonably necessary. Located through the County are
major roadways, highways and flood control channels that creat e barriers
and slow response times. Hills, slopes, street and storm drain design,
accompanied by occasional heavy rainfall, causes roadway flooding and
28
landslides and at times may make an emergency access route
impassable. There are areas in Orange County that naturally have
extended emergency response times that exceed the 5 -minute goal.
C. Soils throughout the County possess corrosive properties that reduce the
expected usable life of water services when metallic pipes are in contact
with soils.
Due to the topographical conditions of sprawling development separated by
waterways and narrow and congested streets and the expected infrastructure
damage inherent in seismic zones described above, it is prudent to rely on
automatic fire sprinkler systems to mitigate extended fire department
response time and keep fires manageable with reduced fire flow (water)
resources available for a given structure. Additional fire protection is also
justified to match the current resources of firefighting equipment and
personnel within the Orange County Fire Authority.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Steve Myrter, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:Approval of Professional Service Agreement with Raftelis
Financial Consultants, Inc. for the Water and Sewer Utility Rate
Study
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution 6978 approving and authorizing the City
Manager to execute a professional services agreement for the City of Seal Beach
Water and Sewer Utility Rate Study with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc., in the
amount not-to-exceed $95,133.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City of Seal Beach Strategic Plan includes a goal of ensuring that water and
sewer rates, as well as street sweeping and tree trimming fees, are properly set to
provide the appropriate level of revenue and meet cost-of-service requirements.
Pursuant to this goal, staff prepared and issued a “Request for Proposals” (RFP)
to perform a Water, Sewer, Tree Maintenance, and Street Sweeping Utility Rate
Study in June of 2019.
Utility Rates and Service Fees Background
Street Sweeping and Street Tree Maintenance Fees
The City’s tree trimming and street sweeping fees (Fees) were both
approved by City Council Resolution 3788 on June 6, 1988 following a
Public Hearing. These Fees were established by a majority vote of the
City Council prior to the passing of California Proposition 218 in 1996.
Each of these fees consists of a property owner fee component and a
community benefit fee component paid by the City.
The annual cost to provide street sweeping services is approximately
$160,000 for FY 2019-2020 and will be approximately $174,000 starting in
FY 2020-2021. The revenue collected from street sweeping fees paid by
the property owners averages about $54,000 per fiscal year or 31% of the
overall cost to provide the service in FY 2020-2021; therefore, the City’s
Page 2
6
3
1
annual cost share to provide this service is projected to be $120,000 or 69%
in FY 2020-2021. The property owner’s portion of the overall costs has
remained unchanged since 1988.
The current cost to provide tree maintenance services is approximately
$145,000 annually. The revenue earned from the tree maintenance service
fee paid by property owners averages about $39,000 or 27% of the overall
cost to provide the service; therefore, the City’s annual cost share to provide
this service is projected to be $101,000 or 82% in FY 2019-2020. The
property owner’s portion of the overall costs has remained unchanged since
1988.
To increase the property owner’s portion of the overall costs to provide
Street Sweeping services and Tree Maintenance service, a Special
Assessment District must be formed to determine property owner benefit
vs. community benefit which would be paid by the City in accordance with
Proposition 218 requirements. It should be noted that the current property
owner fee components to provide these services are considered reasonable
relative to maximum property owner benefit that typically can be charged in
accordance with Proposition 218 Special Assessment District requirements.
Water and Sewer Rates
Water and sewer rates must be periodically reviewed to ensure rates are
set to provide adequate revenue to fund operations and capital needs, and
these costs are properly and fairly distributed based on service user type
and demand. These studies are performed in accordance with Proposition
218 requirements.
A water rate adjustment was last approved in 2011 which implemented a
small residential rate decrease in FY 2010-2012 followed by three 5%
annual increases in FY 2011-2012, FY 2012-2013 and FY 2013-2014.
Water rates have remained unchanged since FY 2013-2014.
A sewer rate adjustment was last approved in 2005 which included
establishing a fixed fee component to the sewer rate. This fixed charge fee
was increased annually over a 12 year period with the last increase
occurring in FY 2016-2017. Sewer rates have remained unchanged since
FY 2016-2017.
The Water, Sewer, Tree Maintenance, and Street Sweeping Utility Rate
Study RFP
The City initially commissioned a sewer and water utility rate study in 2015;
however in 2018 staff determined that this initial Utility Rate study would have to
be substantially revised and reworked to meet the City’s current objectives which
include:
Page 3

1
1. Opportunity to restructure sewer rate and water rate design to include the
most current interpretations and requirements of proposition 218 law.
2. Opportunity to restructure water rate design as needed to prepare for
mandatory water use restrictions due to passage of SB606 and AB1668 in
2018.
3. Development and delivery of dynamic water rate and sewer rate computer
models.
4. Creation of special assessment districts to assess fees charged for street
sweeping services and tree maintenance services.
In addition, the 2015 Utility Rate Study analyses would have needed to be
substantially reworked to include the current fiscal year end financial information.
As such, staff determined that it would be more cost effective to suspend the 2015
Utility Rate Study and issue a new “Request for Proposal” to perform a
Comprehensive Utility Rate Study with a “scope of work” more closely aligned with
the City’s current goals and objectives.
Staff issued a “Request for Proposal” in June 2019 to conduct the Water, Sewer,
Tree Maintenance, and Street Sweeping Utility Rate Study (2019 Rate Study) to
five consulting firms that specialize in Utility Rate and Assessment District analysis.
Responses were received from three consulting firms by the August 1, 2019
submittal date:
NBS Government Financial Services, Temecula, California
NewGen Strategies and Solutions, Annapolis Maryland
Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc., Los Angeles, California
A selection panel was created comprised of City staff to thoroughly review each
consultant team’s proposal, as well as to conduct interviews. Based on the
combined proposal evaluation and consultant interview process, the panel ranked
the Raftelis Financial Consults (Raftelis) team as the most qualified based on the
following:
The proposed team’s demonstrated expertise in utility rate setting
Direct experience with Orange County Water Agencies
Project understanding and approach
Quality of their dynamic rate modeling software
During contract negotiations, staff determined that it did not appear to be cost
effective to move forward with the formation of assessment districts for both the
street sweeping and tree maintenance fees; therefore, Raftelis was directed not to
include this work in their final contract work plan/scope of services. As such, the
Work Plan/Scope of Services was reduced to solely focus on the water rate
analysis and sewer rate analysis.
