City of Seal Beach (City) to adopt a Conflict-of-Interest Code. A Conflict-of-Interest
Code tells public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial
interests they must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700).
The PRA also requires local governments to review and, if necessary, to update
their Conflict-of-Interest Code in each even-numbered year.
The City last updated the Conflict-of-Interest Code applicable to the City, Authority
and Agency in February 2022 through Resolution 7343 (Attachment E). On
June 23, 2025, the City Council authorized and approved amendments to the
Classification Plan to reclassify one (1) Maintenance Services Supervisor position
within the Public Works Department on the Seal Beach Full-Time Pay Schedule to
the following positions and grades:
Public Works Superintendent and designating this job classification to
Grade 28B; and,
Senior Utilities Supervisor, and designating this job classification to Grade
28A; and,
Cross-Connection Control Specialist and designating this job classification
to Grade 17.
The Public Works Department oversees a broad range of responsibilities and
specialized disciplines, requiring personnel with specific expertise and

professional licenses to carry out their duties effectively. As the scope and
complexity of municipal operations continue to evolve, it is critical that the City’s
classification plan remains aligned with current regulatory standards, operational
requirements, and workforce expectations.
Proposed Resolution 7671 (Attachment A) includes the following recommended
updates to the City’s Conflict-of-Interest Code for the City and Authority, which are
set forth in Exhibit “A” and Appendices 1-3, inclusive of said Resolution:
The Model Code as set forth in Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)
Regulation 18730 (Section 18730 of Title 2, Division 6, of the California
Code of Regulations) (Attachment B); and,
An Appendix containing the amended master list of the titles of designated
employee positions to include Public Works Superintendent, Senior
Utilities Supervisor, and Cross Connection Control Specialist
(Attachment C); and,
An Appendix containing the Disclosure Categories (Attachment C); and,
Authorization for changes to designated employee positions as listed in the
Department Reorganization Plan as the City deems necessary; and,
An Appendix which includes FPPC Forms 804 and 805 with respect to
newly appointed positions and consultants, respectively (Attachment D).

SUBJECT:Approving and Authorizing Amendment 2 to the
Professional Services Agreement with Yunex, LLC for
Traffic Signal Maintenance Services
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7673:
1. Approving Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Yunex, LLC dated March 13, 2019, as previously amended by Amendment
1 dated May 13, 2024, to extend the term of the Agreement for a fourth
extension through June 30, 2026 (Fiscal Year 2025-2026); and,
2. Authorizing compensation of $80,000 for such additional services during
Fiscal Year 2025-2026; and,
3. Authorizing an increase in compensation for the third extension (Fiscal Year
2024-25) by $10,000 and the total compensation of $75,000 through June
30, 2025, for a revised total not-to-exceed contract amount of $550,000 for
the extended term through June 30, 2026; and,
4. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute Amendment 2 on
behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City of Seal Beach owns and maintains twenty-three (23) traffic signals and
five (5) flashing beacons. This does not include the eight (8) Caltrans-owned
signals along Pacific Coast Highway and the I-405 ramps. Maintenance associated
with these traffic signals includes a broad range of services, such as routine
inspection of traffic signal and operations equipment, emergency and
non-emergency repairs, new equipment and software upgrades.
On May 13, 2019, City Council approved Resolution 6915, awarding a Professional
Service Agreement to Yunex, LLC (previously Siemens Mobility, Inc.) for Traffic
Page 2

Signal Maintenance Services for an annual amount of $75,000, and the total not-
to-exceed amount of $225,000 for a three-year term. The agreement also included
two (2) optional one-year extensions with a not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 for
each additional year.
After the agreement was approved in 2019, the City exercised the allowable two
(2) optional one-year extensions, thereby extending the term to May 13, 2024. In
addition, on May 13, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 7515 approving
Amendment 1 (third extension) of the agreement which extended the term through
June 30, 2025, authorized $65,000 as compensation for the third extension, and
increased the total not-to-exceed contract amount to $460,000 for the extended
term through June 30, 2025. Staff recommends approval of a second amendment
(fourth extension) to the existing agreement for an additional one-year term to
cover Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026. The City relies heavily on this consultant for
traffic signal services, as there is not in-house capacity to perform this specialized
work. Given the ongoing need for these services and the consultant’s proven track
record of fair pricing and high-quality work, issuing a new Request for Proposals
(RFP) is not recommended at this time. Continuation with the current consultant
ensures service continuity and operational efficiency.
During the FY 2024–2025 budget process, the project budget was reduced to
$65,000 for the third extension. However, due to unforeseen work, costs are now
estimated at $75,000 through June 30, 2025. Staff recommends approval of
Amendment 2 to extend the agreement through June 30, 2026 (fourth extension),
to authorize compensation of $80,000 for FY 2025–2026, and to increase
FY 2024–2025 compensation by $10,000 for a total of $75,000 for the third
extension. The revised total not-to-exceed contract amount is $550,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This Agreement complies with all requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and is categorically exempt under Section 15301, Class 1.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has approved the agreement and resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The contract has two components – (1) Routine Maintenance, and (2)
Extraordinary Maintenance. Routine Maintenance generally comprises regular
inspection and adjustments of the traffic signal system. Extraordinary Maintenance
generally includes emergency/non-emergency traffic signal repairs.
For the third extension, covering FY 2024-2025, the Extraordinary Maintenance
cost exceeded the original budget. Staff is requesting approval of an additional
$10,000, bringing the total not-to-exceed annual amount to $75,000 for
Page 3

FY 2024-2025.
For the fourth extension, covering Fiscal Year 2025-26, Routine Maintenance is
estimated to be $26,513. As the number of Extraordinary Maintenance repairs is
generally unpredictable, staff recommends allocating $53,487 for the fourth
extension, for a total not-to-exceed annual amount of $80,000.
The requested increase in compensation will bring the not-to-exceed total contract
amount to $550,000. The Traffic Signal Maintenance Services contract is budgeted
in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund Street Maintenance Account.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7673:
1. Approving Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Yunex, LLC dated March 13, 2019, as previously amended by Amendment
1 dated May 13, 2024, to extend the term of the Agreement for a fourth
extension through June 30, 2026 (Fiscal Year 2025-2026); and,
2. Authorizing compensation of $80,000 for such additional services during
Fiscal Year 2025-2026; and,
3. Authorizing an increase in compensation for the third extension (Fiscal Year
2024-25) by $10,000 and the total compensation of $75,000 through June
30, 2025, for a revised total not-to-exceed contract amount of $550,000 for
the extended term through June 30, 2026; and,

Publication updates and changes
In accordance with annual practice, relative importance weights have been updated and are available online in the CPI
Supplemental Table of Contents.
Effective with the January 2025 data release, several indexes and average price series were discontinued. More information is
available on the CPI discontinued series page. Direct any inquiries to the CPI office using one of the CPI contact information options
listed online.
Technical Note
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Consumer Price Index for Los
Angeles is published monthly. The set of components and sub-aggregates published for regional and metropolitan indexes is more limited than at the U.S. city average level;
these indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a much smaller sample size than the national or regional indexes and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local-area indexes are more volatile than the national or regional indexes. In addition, local indexes are
not adjusted for seasonal influences. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average
change in prices for each area since the base period.
A full all-items data series history for the original index value and for 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent changes can be accessed via BLS data query
tools. A direct link to the all-items series is provided in Table 1 of this release under historical data.
The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA Core Based Statistical Area includes Los Angeles and Orange Counties in California.
Refer to the national CPI news release technical note or the Handbook of Methods for more information.

Company Qualification
A Brief Overview of Siemens
Our Past
Founded by Werner Von Siemens (pictured right) in 1847, Siemens has
become a global powerhouse in electronics and electrical engineering,.
operating in the industry, energy and healthcare sectors. Siemens AG
Berlin and Munich) entered the traffic industry market in 1924 with the
implementation of the first signal system with red, yellow and green in
Berlin, Germany. Innovation continued when Siemens introduced the
first centrally controlled light signal system in 1926 and a tradition of
developing ground -breaking technology in the traffic industry began.
With its many years of presence in the world markets, Siemens Traffic
Solutions possesses extensive international know-how and proven technical platforms in the areas of
traffic management and guidance.
Siemens entered the US transportation market in 1995 through the acquisition of two industry leaders
in the United States; Eagle Traffic Control Products and Gardner Transportation Systems. In 2010
Siemens acquired Republic ITS, a U.S. leader in traffic signal and street light maintenance services in
order to enhance its presence in the intelligent traffic solutions (ITS) market in the USA. With these
business acquisitions, along with our extensive dealer network, Siemens Intelligent Traffic Solutions (ITS)
business unit has the ability to solve traffic problems throughout the country and around the world.
Our Present
Siemens currently services over 10,000 traffic signalized intersections and 400,000 streetlights under
long-term maintenance agreements nationwide. We are dedicated to meeting and exceeding the
challenging public safety requirements associated with our industry. Siemens has been in the traffic
signal maintenance industry worldwide for over 50 years. Locally, Siemens (formerly Republic ITS &
Signal Maintenance, Inc.) has been in business for over 40 years servicing numerous contracts
throughout the state of California. Currently, in California alone Siemens maintains intersections for
over 140 agencies encompassing over 4,000 locations of various sizes from full function intersections to
in -pavement flashing crosswalks and rapid flashing beacons.
Our Future
At Siemens, we are always looking to the future and for our ITS division, the future is bright. With
infrastructure improvement being the focus for many municipal governments these days, it is
imperative that Siemens stays on the cutting edge of technology in order to remain relevant. Whether
the agency is looking for connected vehicle, smart street lighting solutions, service/ support contracting,
ITS software and controllers or complete infrastructure management, Siemens is constantly evolving the
industry. We look to the future with the foresight that can only be gained through 170 years of
experience and more importantly, we aim to shape it.
Our Distinct Qualifications
We feel that Siemens is uniquely qualified to achieve the goals and
targets that have been established by the City of Seal Beach in this
RFP. There are numerous advantages to having Siemens as a partner.
Among some of the most beneficial:
Siemens has the largest workforce of IMSA level III Certified Traffic Wft
Signal Technicians and NEC Certified Electricians in the industry.
Siemens has strategically positioned local field offices with an !`
abundance of inventory and technical resources.
Our ability to complete entire projects in-house. Although we have
many valuable external partners, we do not have to rely on
consultants, outside subcontractors, or sourced project
management. This improves communication, streamlines work,
and eliminates unnecessary costs or delays.
Siemens is able to partner with numerous manufacturers and
i
distributors to provide leading technologies that will deliver a
product that exceeds the City of Seal Beach's expectations at an economical rate.
Being part of a large, multi -national corporation provides us with the ability to finance specific
strategic opportunities for our customers.
We give our Customers the access to effectively track progress and manage service orders and the
ability to review historical intersection information using our web -based Customer Portal. All
technicians wirelessly update the street light and traffic signal database as work is performed
making all information available virtual real-time.
In summary, Siemens ITS is focused on delivering what cities need most today, safe, reliable
infrastructure solutions. Whether you choose to commute by foot, bike, car, bus or light rail, Siemens
traffic management solutions help you arrive safely, more efficiently and with less impact on the
environment.

Project Approach
Our approach is simple; we work diligently with our cities to develop and evolve the systems of
communication and to hone in on their needs as a customer. It is always the goal of Siemens ITS to
structure our service around each individual Customer's needs. We understand that throughout the
term of a contract of this type, those needs may change so we approach all of our contracts with the
same simple vision; build a partnership with the City's staff and work towards achieving common goals
set forth through that partnership. This is an ever evolving process and that is why we believe that the
only successful route is through establishing these common goals. Our methodology and a
commitment to service will be applied to every aspect of our services for the City of Seal Beach and we
strive to continually evolve this concept.
Response times as requested in the RFP are easily met due to the City of Seal Beach's central location to
our territory here in Southern California. We have a large staff and a customer base that allows us to be
near or even in the city at all times. Response times of less than one hour are commonplace with our
service group and are what we strive for. These times would simply not be possible if not for the fact
that we have numerous highly qualified technicians, all equipped with bucket trucks and a rolling stock
of materials, working throughout the territory. In a nutshell, if we aren't already there, we are always
nearby which makes the one hour as requested in the RFP very easy to accommodate.
As stated above, response times are not an issue; this pertains to after-hours calls as well. All of our staff
live throughout the area and take their vehicles home daily. We have numerous on-call technicians
working/ available 24 hours a day. Both our standard phone lines and our toll free 1 (800) 229-6090
are answered around the clock 365 days a year. We also encourage direct contact with individuals
responsible for the contract such as the technician or superintendent in the event that the city believe
that information can more easily transferred.
What Sets Siemens Apart
Though there are many reasons we feel that we are the best choice, listed in the following pages are
just some of the remaining highlights that we feel we make us the better prepared and more qualified
service provider to serve the needs of the City of Seal Beach.
Material Inventory
Siemens maintains an extensive inventory of traffic signal and
streetlight equipment including controllers, cabinets, load
switches, signal heads, poles, LED indications, luminaries
HPS, MH, MV LPS and LED), service enclosures, controller
cabinets and other miscellaneous parts. This extensive
inventory combined with our vast experience and testing
facilities enable Siemens to repair or replace damaged
equipment expeditiously and professionally.
Siemens employees will be equipped with all spare parts necessary to place a signal system back in
operation for all trouble calls, including sensing devices for induction loop detectors. No permanent or
temporary change of controller mechanisms will be done without prior approval of the City except in
case of an emergency. Siemens will notify the City that the equipment was removed and replaced with
approved spare equipment. Inventory levels are maintained in order to accommodate each individual
Customer's needs. Siemens continually monitors and modifies inventory levels as required by current
maintenance and repair.
Reporting and Record Keeping
Detailed Billing/Activity Reports
In addition to our Customer Portal, Which will be outlined in the coming pages, the City will receive a
detailed billing report on or before the 15th day for the prior month. Each invoice will lists the
description, response, caller information, and the labor, equipment and materials billed for each
location.

construction or repairs. Our technicians are equipped and certified with the proper locating devices
provided by Metrotech.
Communication and Teamwork
At Siemens, we are your partner. Our project management team as well as our field personnel will be
constantly communicating with the City representatives and we will follow all
communication/notification requirements as set forth and agreed upon. Routine monthly meetings will
be key to ensure that everyone is on the same page, not only for system status but to make sure that
we are on track with the City's budget and that we are serving the citizens of the City of Seal Beach to
the highest level possible.
Siemens employees working for the City will be equipped with any necessary communication devices in
order to keep our City liaison(s) informed at all times. Currently, all of our staff is outfitted with an
Android device that will enable them to send, and receive real-time information as well as text, email

Technician Facing Application "mCompanion"
Siemens utilizes a proprietary management system that we refer to as mCompanion. This software is
used to dispatch work orders and to track the progress of all work. Our technicians are now
transmitting service response items (preventative maintenance, emergency calls, scheduled
extraordinary repairs, etc.) in real-time back to our traffic signal maintenance and management system
using a handheld device. This allows our customers to view all work orders in real time through our
Customer Portal. This software also allows us to monitor many key performance items such as time
arrived onsite, time of completion, materials used, and vehicle/equipment used. This information is then
pulled into our internal processing system which features a secure web portal that the City can access in
order to obtain progress on technician work for call outs and maintenance activities as well as a list of
assets, asset map, real-time status of scheduled maintenance and service request calls, history per
functional location, real-time equipment inventories, maps and event reporting as well as digital
photographs of equipment. Detailed training of our management system is available anytime.

all the terms, rules and regulations described in 1(a) and 1(b) as though set forth in full
herein.
2. California law requires the inclusion of specific Labor Code provisions in certain
contracts. The inclusion of such specific provisions below, whether or not required by
California law, does not alter the meaning or scope of Section 1 above.
3. Contractor shall be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations in
accordance with California Labor Code Section 1725.5, and has provided proof of
registration to City prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. Contractor shall not

TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Iris Lee, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:Second Amendment to the Water Conservation
Participation Agreement with Municipal Water District of
Orange County for Water Conservation Participation
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7674 authorizing the City Manager to
execute the Second Amendment to the Water Conservation Participation
Agreement with the Municipal Water District of Orange County.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) provides wholesale
imported water to the City of Seal Beach and 26 other Member Agencies
throughout Orange County. In addition to its core responsibility of securing a
reliable regional water supply, MWDOC offers a range of support services that
include regional water planning, emergency preparedness coordination, legislative
and regulatory advocacy, and public education. The development and
implementation of comprehensive water use efficiency and conservation programs
are included within their scope of available support services.
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s (Metropolitan)
Conservation Credit Program (Program) is the foundational source of funding for
MWDOC’s water use efficiency incentive programs. In June 2006, Metropolitan
and MWDOC entered into two (2) Water Conservation Funding Agreements - one
for Residential Programs and the other for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional
(CII) Programs (Metropolitan Agreements) - to access Metropolitan’s Program
funding. The term of the Metropolitan Agreements, which expired on
June 30, 2025, have been extended for an additional ten (10) years, through June
30, 2035.
MWDOC’s own Water Conservation Participation Agreement (MWDOC
Agreement) with its Member Agencies also expired on June 30, 2025, and similarly
Page 2
2

2
requires its own ten-year extension through June 30, 2035. Originally developed
in June 2015, the MWDOC Agreement established individual agreements with
each Member Agency to facilitate access to MWDOC’s water use efficiency
programs and associated funding. The MWDOC Agreement serves as a conduit
for passing through the terms and conditions of the Metropolitan Agreements while
incorporating MWDOC-specific provisions, such as Shared Services Program and
grant funding, within a single, ten-year master agreement.
MWDOC’s residential and CII water use efficiency programs include a variety of
incentives to promote water conservation. These include the installation of indoor
and outdoor water-efficient devices, such as high-efficiency toilets, smart irrigation
controllers, and spray-to-drip irrigation, as well as water-efficient yard
transformations like turf replacement. These programs are administered by
MWDOC and are made available to most customers throughout MWDOC’s service
area. While many of the programs are available without requiring action from
Member Agencies, participation in certain large-scale programs, such as turf
replacement and spray-to-drip irrigation conversions, does require Member
Agencies to actively elect to participate. Participation in these types of programs is
entirely voluntary, allowing each agency to select the programs that align best with
their community needs and conservation objectives.
MWDOC coordinates annually with participating Member Agencies to develop a
program budget, and agencies are only invoiced for the specific programs they
choose to implement. The City has successfully participated in various programs
over the years and is currently active in the Turf Removal and Spray-to-Drip
Irrigation programs. To formalize participation, MWDOC issues annual addenda to
each Member Agency. These documents specify the agency’s selected programs
and, where applicable, the level of participation. Some programs also allow for
supplemental agency funding beyond Metropolitan’s contributions, however, the
City has not provided additional funding for these programs to date.
On January 23, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution 6710 approving the
First Amendment to the MWDOC Agreement introducing several necessary
revisions to the original agreement. These included updated inspection
requirements for qualifying water-efficient devices and turf removal projects. The
proposed Second Amendment seeks to: (1) extend the term of the agreement for
an additional ten (10) years, through June 30, 2035; and (2) introduce minor
revisions to the project descriptions to improve clarity and ensure the continued
effectiveness and efficiency of the water use efficiency programs.
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 the approval of an agreement amendment with MWDOC
will not have a significant effect on the environment.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Water Use Efficiency Program is included in the adopted
FY 2025-2026 budget, with anticipated participating expenditures totaling $8,000.
MWDOC programs are funded through the Water Fund Intergovernmental account
501-500-0900-51290.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE:July 28, 2025
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Iris Lee, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:Approving and Authorizing Amendment 1 to the Adopted
Seal Beach Safety Action Plan
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7676:
1. Approving Amendment 1 to the City of Seal Beach Safety Action Plan, as
outlined in the Minagar Technical Memo dated June 16, 2025, to the Plan
originally adopted on January 13, 2025; and,
2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager, or their designee, to incorporate
Amendment 1 into the adopted Safety Action Plan.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the new Safe Streets and
Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds
over five (5) years. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and tribal initiatives
through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.
The SS4A program supports the United States Department of Transportation's
(USDOT) National Roadway Safety Strategy and their goal of zero (0) roadway
deaths. Additionally, the program supports the development of a comprehensive
safety action plan (SAP) that identifies the most significant roadway safety
concerns in a community and the implementation of projects and strategies to
address roadway safety issues.
On June 12, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution 7417 accepting $200,000 of
grant funding, which funded the City’s SAP. On January 13, 2025, City Council
accepted Resolution 7599, adopting the SAP.
On March 28, 2025, USDOT issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for FY25
SS4A Funding. The City submitted a $5.4 million SAP implementation grant

Pre-Application for USDOT’s review, which yielded two (2) comments on the
existing SAP sections, specifically those related to “Section 6 - Policy and Process
Changes” and “Section 8 - Progress and Transparency.” Minagar and Associates,
Inc. (Minagar) has prepared a Technical Memo dated June 16, 2025 (Attachment
B) that addresses the comments and elaborates on the specific topics utilizing
information already provided for within other sections of the SAP.
Because this update merely clarifies information already included in the report, it
is considered an administrative amendment and, unlike the original SAP, does not
require a public hearing. Accordingly, these changes were submitted as part of the
City’s FY25 SS4A grant application, which was due on June 26, 2025, with the
understanding that the updates would be ratified by the City Council at a future
meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This project complies with all requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and is categorically exempt under Section 15031(b)(3) because it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the
amendment to this SAP, in and of itself, may have a significant effect on the
environment.
Further, this SAP amendment can be characterized as a planning study that does
not lead directly to construction, and the State has determined this project meets
the criteria for a categorical exemption under 23 CR 771.117(c)(1) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (”NEPA”).
Future projects outlined in the SAP may require independent environmental review
under CEQA. As a transportation improvement plan, the SAP will lead to individual
project evaluations at a later stage.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has approved Amendment 1 and Resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are no financial impacts related to the adoption of this item. The SAP will
be utilized to apply for State and Federal funds for future implementation.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.

6. Policy and Process Changes
In the City of Seal Beach Safety (City) Action Plan development, an assessment was conducted
of current policies, plans guidelines, and/or standards to identify opportunities to improve
processes that prioritize safety. The reviews were intended to identify changes that will emphasize
safety for all road users, and other elements of the Safe System Approach. Establishing safety
policies ensures better continuity of Safe System Approach elements as changes in the City’s
administration occur. Policies which impact the base layers of the Safe Systems Pyramid (built
environment, latent safety measures, and active safety measures), will be prioritized for
implementation, acknowledging these layers have the greatest public health impact and require
the least individual effort.
The Safe Systems Pyramid*
Background
The public health practice is founded on the ideas that
health problems are preventable when addressed at the
population level, and that one should focus on preventing
and controlling risk factors while promoting protective
factors when possible.
Thesis
Utilizing a Safe Systems Approach calls for a paradigm
shift in transportation safety which requires transportation
professionals to understand their roles as public health
professionals and incorporate public health principles into
their thinking and practice. The Safe Systems Pyramid
provides a framework for such thinking.

BMJ Publishing Group - Ederer et al. The Safe Systems Pyramid: A new framework for traffic safety, Transportation Research Interdisciplinary
Perspectives, Volume 21, 2023
During the creation of this Safety Action Plan, the City also assessed existing safety-related
policies, plans, and guidelines currently held by the Public Works and Police departments. The
purpose of this review was to reflect on the measures the City is currently actioning and to propose
changes that better prioritize safety. The review included, but was not limited to:
• Caltrans - District 12: Active Transportation Plan & Complete Streets, June 2022
• The California Endowment: A Guide to Active Transportation in Orange County, California
Walks , Fall 2016
• City of Seal Beach, City Council Workshop, April 4, 2023
• Caltrans - District 12: Active Plan, 2020

• City of Seal Beach: Local Coastal Program, Implementation Plan, Draft, May 2, 2023
• City of Seal Beach: Local Roadway Transportation Plan (LRSP), KHA, May 2022
6.1 Key Policy and Process Changes
The City’s Safety Action Plan also lays out proactive steps the City will take to create a culture
and climate of systemic safety by addressing key risk factors and barriers to safety that currently
exist in Seal Beach. These include:
6.1.1 The City will commit to reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on the City’s
roadways by 2040.
6.1.2 The City will commit to making design, maintenance, and operations decisions that
prioritize safety, and will build off the outreach completed throughout this Safety Action
Plan.
6.1.3 The City will commit to support areas zoned for increased density and infill
development with transportation facilities and improvements to enable safer multi-
modal transportation options for present and future road users.
6.1.4 A citywide, proactive Speed Management Program following the FHWA Safe System
Speed Management Framework will guide location-specific interventions in all focus
areas.
6.1.5 Transportation connections to Equity Priority Communities (e.g., Leisure World) and
underserved populations will be prioritized along major walk and bike routes and key
transit corridors.
6.1.6 The City will look for opportunities to institutionalize safety into all aspects of policies,
planning, programming, design, implementation, and maintenance, with a focus on
those efforts that improve safety at the population scale through change to travel
patterns, land use conditions, socioeconomic considerations, and built environment
provisions.
6.1.7 Through the guidelines of the City’s transportation budget, funding sources and project
selection/priorities will be re-evaluated to shift toward more proactive and strategic
opportunities, enabling Seal Beach to address safety risk factors more efficiently.
6.1.8 The City will collaborate with partners and peers to make meaningful progress on
cross-jurisdictional and cross-sector efforts.
In addition, and per discussions with the Public Works and Police department’s staff, the City will
continue exploring new funding opportunities from the County, regional MPO and Transportation
Authority, the State DOT (Caltrans) and applicable Federal agencies to implement plans and
programs to increase public safety and, in particular, to reduce traffic related injuries and fatalities.
8. Progress and Transparency
The City of Seal Beach (City) Safety Action Plan (SAP) serves as a living document that provides
a variety of high-level strategies and location-specific safety projects. The SAP can be used in
coordination with the neighboring cities as well as the partner agencies and long-range planning
efforts. The City staff are well-equipped to oversee SAP implementation and to monitor the
progress of SAP identified projects/strategies. The SAP implementation process will be
incorporated into City procedures such as CIP planning. Also, to facilitate regional coordination
and minimize administrative efforts, City staff may participate in regional transportation safety
committees organized by Caltrans - District 12, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
and Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Additionally. The City, as a
municipal corporation and the recipient of Federal grant funding for the SAP, is also committed
to, at a minimum, annual public and accessible reporting on progress toward reducing roadway
fatalities and serious injuries, and public posting of the SAP online via the City’s website.
The following sections describe future actions to keep this living document current and relevant
to City’s needs.
8.1 Implementation Progress
The City’s safety focused departments including Public Works and Police departments, Marine
Safety and Naval Weapons Station will meet once a quarter to discuss SAP new
recommendations, project updates, and other strategies. These meetings will ensure ongoing
transparency and will incorporate, as applicable, the following elements:
• Review public concerns and requests,
• Additional new safety initiatives that have recently been identified,
• Grant funding application opportunities, and
• Ongoing implementation updates from the SAP.
Further, input obtained during public outreach efforts for transportation planning or projects should
be discussed during the Technical Committee meetings.
Additional activities that the City will consider to progress the SAP include:
• Coordinate with area residents, partner agencies, and stakeholders for data collection,
public outreach, and shared analyses (i.e., Leisure World and the Naval Weapons Station).
• Evaluate funding opportunities to pursue grants at the regional, state, and federal levels.
• Leverage capital project efforts to accelerate overlapping SAP identified elements.
• Use data-driven processes to prioritize projects and implementation strategies.
Finally, the City will develop a high-level dashboard for tracking progress as SAP implementation
occurs. This dashboard can also be used to share data and implementation progress with the
public and key stakeholders.
8.2 Data Maintenance
The City will endeavor to coordinate with California Highway Patrol (for SWITRS & CCRS),
University of California at Berkeley (for TIMS), SCAG (for HIN) and adjacent jurisdictions to update
the crash and equity data associated with the SAP each year.
8.3 Transparency & Reporting
Regular documentation and reporting on the SAP implementation progress is helpful for its long-
term success and educational impact. As needed, documentation will be prepared for external
funding opportunities, City department meetings, public outreach, and other implementation
activities. The SAP is posted on the City’s website, and the City will evaluate the best manner in
which to present the dashboard displaying progress towards the SAP goals (reducing roadway
fatalities and serious injuries) in a public and accessible report updated annually as part of the
City’s budget process. The full version of the current publicly posted SAP can be viewed at:

6. Policy and Process Changes
In the Seal Beach Safety Action Plan development, an assessment of current policies, plans
guidelines, and/or standards to identify opportunities to improve how processes prioritize safety
was conducted. Per the discussions with the Public Works and Police Departments staff, no
specific policy and/or process changes are suggested during this cycle of review and assessment
is suggested. However, the Public Works Department as the lead Department will continue
exploring new funding opportunities form the County, regional MPO and Transportation Authority,
the State DOT (Caltrans) and Federal agencies to implement plans and programs to increase
public safety and in particular to reduce traffic related injuries and fatalities.
7. Strategy and Project Selections
The project team identified four major emphasis areas for the city by utilizing the aforementioned
analysis that included primary collision factors. The Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)
addresses the “5 Es” of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency
Response, and Emerging Technologies. Each emphasis area utilizes the 5 Es addressed by
SHSP, the following emphasis areas are discussed and analyzed in this section.
1. High Collision Intersections
2. High Collision Roadway Segments
3. Rear End Collisions Due to Unsafe Speeds
4. Broadside Collisions Due to Improper Turning or Automobile Right-of-Way
7.1 Traffic Safety For High Collision Intersections/Focus Locations
The most prominent emphasis area is high collision intersections since most
of the collisions in the City of Seal Beach occurred on intersections. Each
intersection has its own unique geometry, therefore, an analysis of each of
the prominent fifteen (15) intersections in the City of Seal Beach was
concluded to understand the factors leading to collisions.
Education
● Conduct public information and education
campaigns for safety laws regarding a safe
approach to an intersection.
● Raise awareness of the necessity of abiding
by the traffic safety laws.
Engineering
● Identify and rank high collision intersections within the City every two to three years.
Consider information obtained from public input and feedback regarding unreported
collisions to supplement Collision data.
● Evaluate the primary factors leading to collisions at high collision intersections
● Develop and implement countermeasures to tackle those factors.

8. Progress and Transparency
The City of Seal Beach as a municipal corporation and the recipient of this Federal grant funding
for the Safety Action Plan is committed, at a minimum, annual public and accessible reporting on
progress toward reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries, and public posting of the Action
Plan online.
9. Action Plan
At each of the aforementioned focus high collision intersections and street segments/corridors, the
collision patterns have been evaluated and countermeasures to those patterns have been
developed through a preliminary conceptual plan and the preliminary cost of those measures has
been estimated. This section of this report summarizes those results.
This Local Safety Plan is funded through a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant
from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). HSIP grant funding is prioritized and
awarded based on the grant funding's economic effectiveness, which is established by a benefit to
cost ratio. For the HSIP Cycle 12 call for projects, the minimum Benefit to Cost Ratio is 3.5. A
summary of the benefit to cost ratios is provided in this section. Project cost estimates, as of
December 16, 2024, are calculated on a line-item basis using the Caltrans Contract Cost
Database. In some cases, recent construction bids and benefit values are calculated based on
Caltrans established countermeasure values. A summation of the total construction cost as of
December 16, 2024, of all intersections and road segments are displayed at the end of the report.
Depending on the City’s priorities, it is highly recommended that multiple projects as provided
below are grouped into one HSIP application to maximize potential funding allocations. It is also
highly recommended that since each funding source has a different cycle length and/or application
deadline, multiple sources to be explored to maximize the outcome in order to be able to secure
funding and implement and construct the safety projects.

Mr. Darrick Escobedo
This letter represents Enterprise Automation’s (EA) formal request to ammend or alter the scope,
schedule, fee, or other pertinent project documents. A description of the project modifications is
contained hereafter.
Justification for Project Change
EA performed a site visit performed on My 28th, 2025, as part of the project to integrate the 1st
Street Lift Station into the City of Seal Beach’s existing Ignition SCADA System.
Two EA engineers performed the site visit as part of the original project scope of work and
collected information at both the 1st and 8th Street sites. The intent of the investigation was to
determine the status of the radio link between the 1st and 8th Street control panels, investigate the
communications infrastructure between them and SCADA, and to collect backups to facilitate
development of the 1st Street SCADA screen.
The engineers identified that 1st Street is not communicating with SCADA as originally assumed,
and that the City’s SCADA system currently has no configured interfaces or tags for 1st street.
1. Conclusions
1. The 1st St Radio is non-operational
i. 1st St Lightning Surge Arrestor (LSA) is severely corroded
ii. 1st St Ethernet cable from the radio to the LSA is corroded
iii. 1st St Ethernet cable from the LSA to the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) injector is
corroded
iv. Status of the radio itself is undetermined due to the afore-mentioned issues
2. The 8th St Radio status is undetermined as no indicator lights were present at the control
panel Ethernet switch
3. The 1st St PLC program backup was not found on City Servers and the City was unable to
obtain a backup from the original programmer, Bristol Babcock
4. The 1st St PLC seems to have communicated with the SCADA computer at one time, but it
was never fully configured in Ignition or Kepware (communications software that goes
between the PLC and SCADA).

Description of Project Change
1. Restore communications between 1st St and 8th St
i. Replace worn components
1. 1st St LSA
2. Ethernet cable from the 1st St radio to the LSA
3. 1st St Ethernet cable from the LSA to the Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
injector, which powers the radio
4. New Radios at both 1st and 8th street
5. Replace Ethernet cable from 8th St. radio to 8th St. PLC Panel Ethernet
Switch
ii. Test radio operability on site
iii. Test communications between 1st and 8th St. panels and SCADA Server
1. Check to see if Kepware (or ping test) detects good quality data from 1st St
2. Obtain the 1st PLC program leveraging the City’s programming license and software to
extract a backup from the field. If we are unable to extract a program, EA will configure a
new program.

Shelter Services Agreement
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7678:
1. Approving and authorizing the City Manager or their designee to execute
the Agreement with the Westminster Adoption Group and Services
(WAGS) to provide animal shelter and emergency veterinary care
services for the City of Seal Beach for a three-year term; with the option
to extend the Agreement for up to two additional one-year terms, at the
not-to-exceed amount of $138,000 for the first year; and for each
subsequent year for the not-to-exceed amount of $138,000 as adjusted
by the lesser of inflation or 5% for each additional year; and,
2. Adding provisions to provide emergency veterinary care services for the
City of Seal Beach for a not-to-exceed amount of $40,000 per year; and,
3. Approving a Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) Program as elected by the
City, for an amount not-to-exceed $5,000 per year; and,
4. Authorizing an additional $10,000 per year, for emergency care, at the
City Manager’s discretion; and,
5. Authorizing the City Manager to authorize payments as outlined in the
event of hoarder/breeder animals; and,
6. Authorizing and directing the City Manager or their designee to execute
the Agreement.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On July 1, 2023, the City of Seal Beach (City) launched an in-house animal control
program for the first time in many years. After a competitive Request for Proposals
Page 2
2
0
8
9
(RFP) process, WAGS was selected to be the City’s designated animal shelter.
This decision followed a thorough evaluation of multiple factors to ensure that the
chosen provider could meet the specific needs of the community. The City Council
approved the selection of WAGS in early 2023, recognizing their ability to offer
comprehensive and compassionate care for the animals of Seal Beach. WAGS’
proven track record in animal services and their commitment to best practices were
key factors in their selection, ensuring that the new in-house animal control
program would be supported by a reliable and experienced partner. A two-year
agreement was entered into with WAGS effective June 26, 2023, for the time
period July 1, 2023 to and including June 30, 2025.
As the in-house animal control program was a new initiative, the City anticipated a
period of adjustment and learning. Initially, the estimates for the program's activity
levels were based on data provided by the previous contractor, the City of Long
Beach, regarding the number of calls for service and animal interactions. However,
the City quickly realized that these estimates were insufficient. The Seal Beach
community was significantly underserved by Long Beach, and as a result, the Seal
Beach Animal Control Program has more than doubled the number of animal
control calls received. Furthermore, the number of animals taken or delivered to
WAGS by residents within Seal Beach has more than doubled the initial estimates,
even within the first six months of the contract with WAGS.
In response to the increased number of animals and the associated costs of
providing services, WAGS has requested additional funding, which was granted in
July 2024 under Amendment 1 to the previous contract. This adjustment was
necessary as the initial estimates did not account for the actual demand and
activity levels experienced during the first year of the new program.
Unfortunately, costs associated to animal care are rising at rates higher than
Consumer Price Index (CPI), for a myriad of reasons including substantial
increases in veterinary supplies and care. Due to these circumstances, a new
Professional Services Agreement was proposed.
The new Professional Services Agreement is for a three (3) year term, with a
monthly fee of $11,500 during year one, for a total not-to-exceed amount of
$138,000 and increases during year two and three of a range from CPI up to, but
not to exceed, 5% per year. The Agreement provides an option for two (2) one-
year extensions.
In addition to the funding increase, the City also amended the language of the
agreement to reflect industry best practices, particularly concerning community
cats (formerly referred to as stray cats), the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program,
and return-to-home initiatives. The TNR program involves trapping community
cats, neutering them, and then returning them to their original location to manage
the population humanely and effectively. The return-to-home initiative focuses on
reuniting cats who live in the community to a safe place where they were found.
By incorporating these best practices, the program aligns with industry standards,
Page 3

ensuring that the City provides the best care for the animals in Seal Beach. The
TNR Program has a not-to-exceed amount of $5,000 per year.
Furthermore, due to changes within the emergency veterinary industry, the City
was no longer able to work with its previously designated emergency vet clinic. As
part of this amendment, WAGS began providing emergency care for sick or injured
animals through their designated medical provider. For these emergency care
services, the City allocated a budget of up to $40,000, with an additional $10,000
available at the Interim City Manager's discretion. All decisions regarding
emergency care, beyond basic triage and assessment, require approval from a
member of the Seal Beach Police Department Command Staff. These emergency
services are billed on an as needed, a la carte, basis.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen
with certainty that the approval of the Professional Service Agreement with
Westminster Animal Group and Services will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
No legal analysis is required for this item.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds were allocated in the adopted 2025-2026 Fiscal Year budget for
anticipated expenditures. Should incidental costs exceed projections, staff will
return to Council.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7678:
1. Approving and authorizing the City Manager or their designee to execute
the Agreement with the Westminster Adoption Group and Services
(WAGS) to provide animal shelter and emergency veterinary care
services for the City of Seal Beach for a three-year term; with the option
to extend the Agreement for up to two additional one-year terms, at the
not-to-exceed amount of $138,000 for the first year; and for each
subsequent year for the not-to-exceed amount of $138,000 as adjusted
by the lesser of inflation or 5% for each additional year; and,

City of Seal Beach for a not-to-exceed amount of $40,000 per year; and,

City, for an amount not-to-exceed $5,000 per year; and,

up to the amount of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
D. Other Insurance Provisions.
The policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following
provisions:
1. General Liability, Automobile Liability, Umbrella / Excess
Liability Coverage.
a. Additional Insured Endorsement. CITY, its officers,
elected and appointed officials, employees, volunteers, and those agents acting

additional insured as respects defense and indemnity against claims seeking
recovery for: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of
CONTRACTOR; products and completed operations of CONTRACTOR;
premises owned, occupied, or used by CONTRACTOR; or automobiles owned,
leased, hired, or borrowed by CONTRACTOR. The coverage shall not extend to
any indemnity coverage for the sole active negligence of the additional insured in
any case where an agreement to indemnify the additional insured would be
invalid under Civil Code § 2782(b), and shall contain no special limitations on the
scope of protection afforded to CITY, its officers, elected and appointed officials,
17 of 26
employees, volunteers, and those agents acting as independent contractors in
the role of CITY officials.
b. Primary and Non-Contributory. The Agreement
insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects to the CITY, its
officers, elected and appointed officials, agents, employees, volunteers, and
those CITY agents acting as independent contractors in the role of CITY officials.
Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the CITY, its officers, elected and
appointed officials, agents, employees, volunteers, and those CITY agents acting
as independent contractors in the role of CITY officials shall be excess of the
CONTRACTOR’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
c. Separate Coverage. Except with respect to the limits
of the liability, CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured
against whom claim is made, or suit is brought and shall provide that an act or
omission of one of the insureds shall not reduce or void coverage to the other
insureds. CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall not exclude coverage for suits or
claims brought by or on behalf of one insured against any other insured.
d. Contractual Liability. The general liability and umbrella
policies shall be endorsed to include contractual liability.
2. All Coverages
a. 30-day Notice of Cancellation. Each insurance policy
required by this Agreement shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be
suspended, voided, canceled by either party, reduced in coverage or in limits
except after thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, has been given to CITY.
b. Waiver of Subrogation. Each insurance policy
required by this Agreement shall provide that CONTRACTOR and insurer waive
any and all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, elected or appointed
officials, agents, employees, volunteers, and those agents acting as independent
contractors in the role of CITY officials for losses arising from work performed by
CONTRACTOR for CITY.
3. Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific
coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a
limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage
normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage
feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is
not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of
other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits
than the minimums shown above, CITY requires and shall be entitled to
coverage for the higher limits maintained by CONTRACTOR. Any available
18 of 26
insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and
coverage shall be available to CITY.
E. Acceptability of Insurers.
Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to do business by the
Insurance Commissioner in the State of California, with a rating by A.M. Best’s of
no less than A, Class VII, and satisfactory to the City. All insurers shall be
licensed by or holding admitted status in the State of California.
F. Verification of Coverage.
CONTRACTOR shall furnish CITY with certificates of insurance and with
original endorsements affecting coverage required by this Section. The
certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a
person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificates
and endorsements are to be on forms provided by CITY. Where, by statute,
CITY’s workers’ compensation-related forms cannot be used, equivalent forms
approved by the Insurance Commissioner are to be substituted. All certificates
and endorsements are to be received and approved by CITY before any Services
commence, and shall evidence that all premiums have been paid for the entire
forthcoming policy period. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified
copies of all required insurance policies, at any time. The delivery to CITY of any
certificates of insurance or endorsements hereunder which do not comply with
the requirements set forth in this Agreement shall not waive CITY’s right to
require such compliance.
G. Failure to Maintain Insurance.
If CONTRACTOR fails to obtain and maintain the insurance required
hereunder, CITY shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain the same or
similar insurance in the name and account of CONTRACTOR in which event
CONTRACTOR shall pay the cost thereof and furnish upon demand all
information that may be requested by CITY to permit CITY to obtain all such
required coverage on behalf of CONTRACTOR. CITY shall have the right to
offset (without recourse by CONTRACTOR) against any amounts owing to
CONTRACTOR, amounts CITY reasonably incurs in obtaining insurance
required of CONTRACTOR herein.
H. Insurance No Limitation on Indemnity.
The procurement of the insurance required in this Agreement or the
delivery of policies or certificates evidencing the same shall not be construed as
a limitation of CONTRACTOR’s obligation to indemnify CITY or any of its officers,
elected or appointed officials, agents, employees, volunteers, or those CITY
agents acting as independent contractors in the role of CITY officials under any
provision of this Agreement.
19 of 26
I. No Representation.
Neither the CITY nor any of its officers, agents, employees, volunteers, or
those CITY agents acting as independent contractors in the role of CITY officials
make any representation that the types of insurance and the limits specified to be

CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR believes that any such insurance coverage is
insufficient, CONTRACTOR shall provide, at its own expense, such additional
insurance as CONTRACTOR tor deems adequate.
J. Subcontractors.
All subcontractors shall comply with all of the requirements stated in this
Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall furnish the CITY with separate certificates and
endorsements for each subcontractor.

follows:
A. CONTRACTOR shall not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of age, race, color, religion, sex, marital
status, national origin, or mental or physical disability. CONTRACTOR will ensure

PROOF OF AUTHORITY TO BIND
CONTRACTING PARTY REQUIRED
Exhibit A – WAGS proposal with fees.
We are agreeable to all scope items listed in the contract, and we confirm that we are in alignment with
the following:
• Contract terms of 3 years with options.
• According to the contract with Seal Beach, CA, we will accept companion animals, stray dogs,
community cats, and exotic animals.
• We will ensure that all animals have proper housing and food.
• We will adhere to established drop-off procedures, ensuring that Seal Beach Animal Control
Officers have 24-hour access to the shelter portion of the facility. The ACO is given keys and
alarm codes, as well as housing kennels are set up outside for easy drop-off after hours if the
ACO is not comfortable entering the building.
• Impound procedures are listed in the "Scope of Services."
• The hospital can shelter 100 dogs and 300 cats. Westminster Adoption Group Services will
adequately accommodate quarantined animals and those held for investigation following animal
control guidelines. WAGS will utilize fostering as an option for caring for animals.
• The animal shelter will comply with HSUS standards for operating an animal shelter.
• We will allow Animal Control Officers to enter and inspect the premises during regular business
hours and access as needed outside of regular business hours. ACO has access to inspect as
requested.
• Westminster Adoption Group Services will ensure outstanding care for all animals. Quality
housing and food will be provided for all animals. We will offer clean and appropriate facilities
for all animals.
• Veterinary services are available on-site and via telemedicine. Still, there are times when
emergency care must be provided by an outside contracted service, such as when WAGS does
not have a veterinarian on site. An emergency care hospital is available for after-hours
emergency care.
• Pet owners are responsible for all routine and emergency veterinary care costs for their
impounded animals, regardless of whether these fees are passed on to WAGS for any reason.
However, Seal Beach will cover or reimburse WAGS for emergency veterinary care as specified
in this document. In such cases, WAGS will bill the City of Seal Beach. Currently, no
reimbursement system is in place, as Seal Beach Animal Control directly oversees and approves
the costs related to emergency care provided at outside facilities.
• We will meet all special handling requirements for quarantined animals and pets in protective
custody.
• We are responsible for making reasonable efforts to prepare and present animals for adoption.
We will strive to find suitable adoption homes for all adoptable animals in the shelter, ensuring
compliance with the required holding period.
• We will meet the requirements for the disposal of unclaimed animals. We will ensure humane
treatment and a holding period of 72 hours unless warranted for medical purposes. Animals will
not be sold for medical research or other activities that may cause harm without the consent
and approval of Seal Beach, CA, animal control.
Exhibit B – WAGS contracted monthly services fee details (what we receive from WAGS)
• Fee Proposal
Shelter Care scope of services will include:
1. Examination, including intake of vaccines and following best practices of standard
care in animal shelters with plans for live release unless otherwise deemed euthanasia is
necessary for medical quality of life concerns or danger to the public to be on an
adoption pathway.
Assessments include input from a veterinarian, a behavioral team, and daily care
attendants. WAGS has an active behavior enrichment program. When deemed safe, an
out-of-kennel schedule is implemented, with volunteer engagement for exercise and
calm time built into the daily schedules to reduce shelter stress. Documentation is
collected and maintained in the required records, and SOPs are current to reflect care
standards.
2. Radiographs if needed
3. Necessary diagnostic tests
4. Pain management, if needed
5. Administer antibiotics if needed
6. Wound care if needed

9. Euthanasia as needed
10. Documentation and records maintenance following the California Food and
Agriculture Code 32003
11. Return home and Adoption procedures best practices.
12. Adoption/transfer pathway planning, as appropriate, including spay/neuter,
TNR, specialty surgeries if deemed necessary, vaccines, current medications,
microchipping, and documentation. Additionally, social media and many national
lost animal websites will share a basic profile, such as Petco Lost Pets, Petfinder,
and Pawboost. Euthanasia protocols are followed and deemed necessary for
quality of life or are too dangerous if placed back into the community
13. Animals, except wildlife, are brought to WAGS through ACO, Owner
Surrender, and Over the Counter. For reference, WAGS will attempt to schedule
owner’s surrenders when space is available, utilizing a managed intake system.
Managed intakes reduce overpopulation by scheduling the intake when there are
fewer animals in care, especially dogs. If the owner needs to relinquish the
animal immediately, with a fee to cover the cost of care, WAGS will assist them.
Reimbursement of citizens’ fees collected
WAGS Pet Adoption will reimburse the Seal Beach Police Department for any fees collected related to
boarding, neutering, non-neutering, and other applicable charges as directed by the City, upon a pet
owner redeeming their pet. All fees are recorded on our ShelterLuv system. Pet owners receive a receipt
for all payments, and a comprehensive report—including the pet owner’s name, pet ID, fees collected,
and a description of the charges provided to the city. Reimbursement of fees will be made within 45
days following the end of each month.
Exhibit C – Emergency Procedure
WAGS Pet Adoption will accept emergencies during regular business hours of operation when a
veterinarian is on site. WAGS Pet Adoption offers a range of 40-50 hours of veterinary care per week.
Currently, city services have to use an outside vendor for care when there is no veterinarian on staff.
The vendor is a choice of the city and ACOs. WAGS will receive a pet after it is medically stable or for
disposal in the event of euthanasia or DOA. WAGS does not have a secondary vet hospital to offer
emergency services to Seal Beach as discussed upon original contract signing.
Exhibit D –After-hours emergency procedures
The Westminster Adoption Group Services offers fair and reasonable fees. Animal Control
animals are brought to WAGS Pet Adoption when a veterinarian is on staff. After hours and on
weekends, they are to be taken to the Orange County Emergency Pet Clinic, which has established care
limits in collaboration with the Seal Beach Police Department. In the past, contracts have been
responsible for all communications and contractual fees paid to the ER—after-hours emergency care to
stay in the purview of the PD. WAGS currently has no authority and care standards set until the pet is
transferred to WAGS in the am. Based on the current arrangements and future contracts. WAGS Pet
Adoption does not have a veterinarian on staff 24 hours a day to handle such care requirements. It
would be cost-prohibitive.
We will adhere to established drop-off procedures, ensuring that Seal Beach Animal Control Officers
have 24-hour access to the shelter portion of the facility. The ACOs are given keys and alarm codes, and
housing kennels are set up outside for easy drop-off after hours if the ACO is not comfortable entering
the building.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE:July 28, 2025
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT:Homeland Security Grant Program Agreement for Transfer
or Purchase of Equipment and Services for Reimbursement
of Operation Costs for Fiscal Year 2024 Operation
Stonegarden
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7679:
1. Authorizing the Chief of Police to execute an agreement on the City’s
behalf for transfer or purchase of equipment and services for
reimbursement of operating costs for FY 2024; and,
2. Authorizing any further actions necessary for the purpose of obtaining
federal financial assistance provided by the Department of Homeland
Security – Federal Emergency Management Agency and sub-granted
through the Riverside Sheriff’s Department in connection with the
Operation Stonegarden Homeland Security Grant Program.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), via the Homeland Security Grant
Program, has allocated funds for use by local governments to increase
coordination and enforcement capabilities in support of DHS goals, including those
outlined in the Border Patrol National Strategy. As law enforcement partnerships
between federal, state, and local entities are critical to improving operational
control of the border, the City of Seal Beach is eligible to receive financial
assistance in the form of reimbursement for equipment purchases, maintenance
costs, overtime, and management and administration costs incurred, through the
Riverside Sheriff’s Department sub-grants from the State of California.
During the most recent Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) grant cycle, the Seal
Beach Police Department applied for and was awarded funding to provide
increased law enforcement patrols and special operations throughout the 1.5 miles
of coastline, coastal access points, and flood control access points in the
Page 2

jurisdiction of Seal Beach, in an effort to reduce smuggling and marine interdiction

FROM: Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Approve Updated Job Specification for Police Services
Manager Classification
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7680 approving an updated job
specification for the Police Services Manager (PSM) classification.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City of Seal Beach routinely reviews position descriptions to ensure they
accurately reflect operational needs and industry standards. The scope of
non‑sworn, professional public‑safety services—including parking enforcement,
traffic control, jail operations, and animal control—has expanded significantly since
the Police Services Manager specification was created. A comprehensive review
identified several areas requiring revision to align duties, minimum qualifications,
and supervisory responsibilities with current practices.
Key updates include:
• Consolidates oversight of parking enforcement, traffic investigations, animal
control, and jail operations under a single civilian manager responsible for program
coordination, performance monitoring, and vendor relations.
• Clarifies supervisory authority over Senior Community Services Officers,
Police Aides, Crossing Guards, and other professional staff personnel,
emphasizing employee development, coaching, and accountability.
• Strengthens emphasis on public education and community engagement
regarding traffic safety and responsible pet ownership.
• Aligns minimum qualifications with industry best practice by requiring four (4)
years of varied police community service experience (including leadership),
California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) certification
Page 2
within three (3) months of appointment, and coursework in police science or a
related field.
• Modernizes physical demands and environmental elements sections to comply
with current occupational safety guidance.
These revisions promote recruitment and retention of high‑quality professional
staff, support succession planning within the Support Services Bureau, and
improve service delivery to Seal Beach residents.
