Agenda Item C
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE:March 9, 2026
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Barbara Arenado, Director of Finance/City Treasurer
SUBJECT:Amendment 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc. for Municipal Advisory
Services
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7745:
1. Approving Amendment 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc. for Municipal Advisory Services,
extending the term to March 21, 2031; and,
2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment 1 on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc. (“Fieldman”) has been the City’s financial
advisor, providing general financial advisory services and debt issuance services.
The previous contract allows for extensions upon City Council approval. Due to the
nature and complexity of the City’s current capital improvement projects,
particularly those related to the water and sewer systems, it is important to extend
the agreement at this time to ensure continuity of services and avoid disruption to
ongoing financial planning efforts. The City is currently in the process of evaluating
potential debt options to support these projects, and maintaining Fieldman’s
services will provide consistency and institutional knowledge critical to this
evaluation process.
Financial advisory services are needed to assist the City in structuring the debt
necessary to fund construction projects related to the City’s water and sewer
systems. Any debt financing recommendations will be brought to Council for review
and approval prior to implementation. The new agreement extends the current
agreement for an additional five (5) years, introduces a revised fee schedule, and
provides for an annual three percent (3%) annual fee increase each year. Given
that the City is actively assessing debt strategies and timing for issuance,
extending the agreement now ensures that advisory services remain uninterrupted

during this critical phase. The professional services provided under this Agreement
are exempt from the City’s bidding requirements under Seal Beach Municipal Code
Section 3.20.025(C).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Proposed Amendment 1 to the Professional Services Agreement is exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3)
of the State CEQA Guidelines which states that CEQA only applies to projects that
have potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Approval of
Amendment 1 will not have a significant effect on the environment.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
This item has been reviewed and approved as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Amendment 1 represents a time extension and fee update. Adequate funding is
included in the adopted FY 2025-26 Annual Budget and will be included in future
budgets, as necessary. Historically, financial advisory services have ranged from
approximately $10,000 to $30,000 per year. Professional services for a bond issue
would be determined based on the nature and size of the transaction. Costs would
be billed at the hourly rates in Exhibit B of the Amendment. Costs incurred would
be charged to the appropriate fund or bond proceeds and would continue to be
budgeted in future years. Therefore, no additional appropriation is required at this
time.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7745:
1. Approving Amendment 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc. for Municipal Advisory Services,
extending the term to March 21, 2031; and,
2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment 1 on behalf of the City.

EXHIBIT C
TO
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR MUNICIPAL ADVISOR
BY AND BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
AND
FIELDMAN, ROLAPP & ASSOCIATES, INC.
MSRB Rule G-42 requires that municipal advisors provide to their clients disclosures relating to
all material conflicts of interest, including certain categories of potential conflicts of interest
identified in Rule G-42, if applicable. With respect to all aspects of the relationship between
Consultant and the City, Consultant adheres to its fiduciary duty to the City, which includes a
duty of loyalty to the City in performing all municipal advisory activities for the City. The duty
of loyalty obligates Consultant to deal honestly and with the utmost good faith with the City and
to act in the City's best interest without regard to any interest Consultant has or may have.
Consultant has a wide range of clients so our success and profitability are not dependent on
maximizing short-term revenue generated from individual recommendations to our clients but is
instead dependent on long-term profitability based on a foundation of integrity, quality and
adherence to our fiduciary duty. Furthermore, Consultant's supervisory structure provides strong
safeguards against individual representatives of Consultant violating their duty due to personal
interests.
Consultant makes the following representations to the City with regard to the Services:
A. Other than the compensation described in the Agreement, we have no other interest,
direct or indirect, that would interfere with or impair in any matter or degree the
performance of our obligations. During our work on the Services, we do not intend to
acquire or obtain any such interest, direct or indirect. If any such interest is acquired or
obtained, we will immediately advise the City.
B. We have not provided any gift or consideration to any officer, employee or agent of the
City to either obtain the Agreement or any assignment from the City, including the
Services. Neither our firm, nor its officers or employees will provide any such gift or
consideration to any officer, employee or agent of the City to influence decisions with
regard the Services or our obligations under the Agreement.
C. Our compensation for Transaction Services will be based on the size of the transaction.
While this form of compensation is customary in the market for financial services to
municipal entities, this may present conflict of interest as we would have an incentive to
recommend to the City the Project even if it is unnecessary or provides insufficient
benefit or advise the City to increase the size of the Project. This potential conflict is
mitigated by Consultant's fiduciary duty to the City.
D. The City has employed and may employ Applied Best Practices LLC, an affiliated entity
to us, with regard to the performance of its continuing disclosure obligations. This
relationship has the potential to result in a conflict of interest by creating an incentive for
Consultant to recommend to the City a course of action that would increase the City's
business activity with the affiliated entity or conversely that would discourage a course of
action that would decrease the City's business activity with the affiliated entity. The
conflict is mitigated by Consultant's fiduciary duty to the City. Moreover, if Consultant
makes a recommendation that could influence the level of business with an affiliated
CITY OF SEAL BEACH/FIELDMAN, ROLAPP & ASSOCIATES, INC. Exhibit C, Page 1
FRA Project No. TBD
b. fieldman rolapp agreement
entity, Consultant will consider alternatives to the recommendation, which will be
disclosed to the City. Moreover, the affiliated entities are each subject to regulation by
the MSRB and the SEC.
E. At the present time, Consultant has determined in connection with general financial
advisory services, after exercising reasonable diligence, that it has no known material
conflicts of interest that would impair its ability to provide advice in accordance with its
fiduciary duty to municipal entity clients such as the City. To the extent any such
material conflicts of interest arise after the date of this disclosure, Consultant will provide
information with respect to such conflicts.
Information Regarding Legal Events and Disciplinary Actions
MSRB Rule G-42 requires that municipal advisors provide their clients disclosures of legal or
disciplinary events material to the evaluation of the municipal advisor or the integrity of the
municipal advisor's management or advisory personnel. Consultant sets out required disclosures
and related information below:
A. There are no legal or disciplinary events material to the City's evaluation of Consultant or
the integrity of Consultant's management or advisory personnel disclosed, or that should
be disclosed, on any Form MA or Form MA -I with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").
Consultant's most recent Form MA and each most recent Form MA -I filed with the SEC are
available on the SEC's EDGAR system at:

2. SECTION 11— LIABILITY, it is our stated intent
that the various Coverage Parts, forms,

occurrence", offense, accident, "wrongful act"
or loss. We will not pay more than the actual
amount of the loss or damage.
If this Coverage Part and any other Coverage
Part, form, endorsement or policy issued to
the named insured by us, or any company
affiliated with us, apply to the same claim,
suit", occurrence, offense, accident, "wrongful
act" or loss, the maximum Limit of Insurance
under all such Coverage Parts, forms,

This condition does not apply to any Excess or
Umbrella Policy issued by us specifically to
apply as excess insurance over this policy.
G. Liberalization

Insurance of SECTION I — PROPERTY.
2. SECTION If — LIABILITY
If other valid and collectible insurance is
available to the insured for a loss we cover
under SECTION If — LIABILITY, our
obligations are limited as follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when
paragraph b. below applies. If this
insurance is primary, our obligations are
not affected unless any of the other
insurance is also primary. Then, we will
share with all that other insurance by the
method described in paragraph c. below.
However, if you agree in a written
contract, written agreement, or written
permit that the insurance provided to any

Part is primary and non-contributory, we

Additional Insured; or
2) When the Additional Insured is an
Additional Insured under another
liability policy.

defend the insured against that "suit". If no
other insurer defends, we will undertake to
do so, but we will be entitled to the

THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT:Authorization to Donate Surplus AXON TASER 7
Conducted Energy Weapons to the Village of Hamburg,
New York Police Department
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7746:
1. Designating AXON TASER 7 Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW)
equipment as surplus City-owned property no longer required for
departmental operations and authorizing its disposition; and,
2. Authorizing the Seal Beach Police Department to donate surplus AXON
TASER 7 Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) equipment to the Village
of Hamburg, New York, Police Department.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Seal Beach Police Department has completed its transition from the AXON
TASER 7 platform to the TASER 10 platform. As a result of this transition, the
department currently possesses surplus TASER 7 CEW units that are no longer in
active service and are not expected to be redeployed due to changes in equipment
design, training requirements, standardization, and operational needs.
At present, the department maintains approximately forty-six (46) TASER 7 units
that remain functional but no longer align with departmental deployment or training
standards. Continued retention of this equipment provides limited operational
benefit and creates ongoing storage, inventory, and administrative obligations.
To responsibly manage City-owned resources, the department proposes donating
a portion of this surplus equipment to an eligible law enforcement agency. Through
professional coordination within the TASER Instructor Network, the Village of
Hamburg, New York Police Department has been identified as a recipient agency
and has expressed interest in receiving twenty (20) TASER 7 handles and
associated equipment.
Page 2

Donating the surplus equipment allows another law enforcement agency to
enhance officer safety and maintain access to less-lethal force options while
avoiding unnecessary storage, maintenance, and disposal costs for the City of
Seal Beach. This action also supports interagency cooperation and the continued
public safety use of functional equipment.
The option of selling the surplus TASER 7 units was considered; however, resale
would likely yield minimal financial return due to depreciation, manufacturer
restrictions, and limited secondary market demand following the release of newer
TASER platforms. Additionally, the administrative burden associated with resale,
including legal review, bidding processes, and transaction oversight—would likely
outweigh any nominal revenue generated.
The proposed donation maximizes the remaining public safety value of the
equipment and represents the most efficient and cost-effective disposition of the
surplus assets.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed donation will be structured to ensure that the City of Seal Beach and
the Seal Beach Police Department incur no ongoing liability, responsibility, or
indemnification obligations following the transfer. The recipient agency will formally
acknowledge receipt, acceptance, and assumption of responsibility for the
equipment. The City Attorney will review all transfer documentation prior to final
disposition to ensure legal sufficiency and compliance with municipal
requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. The equipment has
already been purchased and depreciated, and no revenue is anticipated from the
donation. Approval of this item will eliminate ongoing storage and administrative
costs associated with retaining surplus equipment. Shipping costs associated with
the transfer will be paid by the Village of Hamburg, New York, Police Department.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item supports the City’s Strategic Plan goals related to fiscal responsibility,
efficient asset management, and public safety partnerships.

SUBJECT:Approving a Fee Increase for the Seal Beach Marine Safety
Junior Lifeguard Program, Amending the City’s Cost
Recovery Schedule, and Approving the Associated Budget
Adjustment
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7747:
1. Approving a fee increase for the Seal Beach Marine Safety
Junior Lifeguard Program; and,
2. Amending the City’s Cost Recovery Schedule; and,
3. Approving Budget Amendment BA #26-09-01 to increase the Junior
Lifeguard Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 in the amount of $17,500.00.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Seal Beach Marine Safety Junior Lifeguard Program is a summer recreational
and educational program serving youth between the ages of 9 through 17. The
program consists of one (1) seven-week session conducted during the summer
season.
Participant registration fees are intended to recover the full cost of program
operations, including uniforms (shorts, shirt, hat, and backpack), instructional staff
wages, field trips, equipment, and administrative expenses. In accordance with
City policy, program fees are periodically evaluated to ensure alignment with actual
program costs.
During the summer of 2025, program enrollment reached capacity earlier than
anticipated, resulting in an increase in participant enrollment from 300 to 350
youth. To maintain appropriate supervision levels and program quality standards,
additional instructional staff was required. In addition, on October 13, 2025, the
Page 2

City Council adopted Resolution 7702 granting Marine Safety part-time employees
a wage increases during the current fiscal year, further increasing program
operating costs.
Given these factors, a fee adjustment is necessary to ensure continued cost
recovery and ensure the ongoing financial sustainability of the Junior Lifeguard
Program. The proposed fee amounts described below were determined after
reviewing the City’s overall cost of offering the program, including all labor costs
and direct and indirect costs. Staff have determined that the fees do not exceed
the cost of providing the service.
The updated fees are listed below:
Junior Lifeguard Programs:
1. Resident:
a) First child $700.00 per child; and,
b) Second and subsequent sibling $675.00 per child
2. Non-Resident :
a) First child $750.00 per child; and,
b) Second and subsequent sibling $710.00 per child
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Approval of this item does not constitute a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and will have no environmental impact.

No legal analysis is required for this item.

BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CITY’S COST
RECOVERY SCHEDULE TO INCREASE FEES FOR THE
MARINE SAFETY JUNIOR LIFEGUARD PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach offers a Marine Safety Junior
Lifeguard Program that provides summer educational and recreational
opportunities for youth ages 9 through 17; and,
WHEREAS, the Junior Lifeguard Program consists of one seven-week summer
session and is funded through participant registration fees intended to recover
the full cost of program operations, including uniforms, staffing, equipment, field
trips, and administrative expenses; and,
WHEREAS, the City periodically reviews program fees to ensure consistency
with actual operating costs and the City’s Cost Recovery policies; and,
WHEREAS, during the summer of 2025, program enrollment reached capacity
earlier than anticipated, resulting in an increase in enrollment to 350 participants
and necessitating the hiring of additional instructional staff to maintain
appropriate supervision and program quality; and,
WHEREAS, a fee increase is necessary to offset increased staffing and
operational expenses and to ensure continued cost recovery and financial
sustainability of the Junior Lifeguard Program; and,
WHEREAS, the Marine Lifeguard Department has evaluated the cost of
providing the Junior Lifeguard Program, including all labor and direct costs, and
determined that the proposed fees outlined below do not exceed the cost of
providing the service to participants; and,
WHEREAS, a budget adjustment to receive the funds into the Junior Lifeguard
budget is required; and,
WHEREAS, this action to adopt the proposed fees does not constitute a project
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and will have no
environmental impact because it is merely related to the City’s cost recovery
schedule.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Seal Beach City Council does resolve, declare,
determine, and order as follows:
Section 1. The City Council hereby amends the City’s Cost Recovery
Schedule to increase fees for the Marine Safety Junior Lifeguard
Program, as set forth below:

a) First child $700.00 per child; and,
b) Second and subsequent sibling $675.00 per child.
2. Non-Resident :
a) First child $750.00 per child; and,
b) Second and subsequent sibling $710.00 per child.
Section 2. The foregoing fees shall become effective immediately and staff is
directed to incorporate them into the City’s Cost Recovery
Schedule. The fees shall apply to future Junior Lifeguard Program
enrollment periods until changed by the City Council.
Section 3. The City Council hereby approves a budget adjustment in the
amount of $17,500.00 for the Junior Lifeguard Program.
Section 4. The City Manager, or designee, is authorized and directed to
implement the fee adjustments and take all actions necessary to
