To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
Vernon, California
In accordance with the Charter of the City of Vernon (City), please accept submission of the Annual
Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Responsibility for the accuracy of the data,
completeness, and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. We
believe the data included is accurate in all material aspects, and is presented in a manner designed to
fairly set forth the financial position and operational achievements of the City, as measured by the
financial activity of its various funds. In addition, all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain a
maximum understanding of the Citys financial activities have been included.
Vernons City Charter requires an annual audit of the Citys financial statements by an independent
Certified Public Accountant. Accordingly, this year's audit was completed by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP.
The auditors' report on the basic financial statements is included in the financial section of this report.
Managements discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the Citys basic financial statements.
MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and, as such, should be read in conjunction.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Since it was founded in 1905, Vernon has maintained a business-friendly environment, thus allowing the
City to remain one of Southern California's prime locations for industry of all types. Vernon offers
businesses a range of advantages compared to nearby cities in L.A. County. Features such as lower
permit fees; lower electricity, water and natural gas utility rates; excellent City services tailored to specific
business needs; easy access to major transportation hubs; and proximity to a substantially skilled
workforce enable business and industry to thrive in Vernon.
Vernon is the industrial heart of Southern California. Major manufacturers, processors and distributors
have made Vernon their home for more than a century. Vernon businesses employ more than 50,000
men and women from nearby communities throughout the Greater Los Angeles area. There are 1,800
businesses that call Vernon home. These include food processors, fashion apparel manufacturers,
furniture manufacturers, electronics manufacturers, paper products producers and business logistics
companies.
(ii)
Vernon is a key contributor to the diverse Los Angeles County economy. After several years of slow and
steady growth, the economy is finally shifting into a higher gear as it continues to recover from the Impact
of the most recent recession. Job growth is contributing to the flourishing local economy, as well as at the
state and national levels. Vernon is largely industrial and does not maintain an unemployment rate tally of
its small population. However, the unemployment rate of adjacent communities is currently 10.5%, which
is higher than the State of California's average unemployment rate of 7.7%, and the national average
unemployment rate of 5.9%. The occupancy rate of the City s central business district ranges between
96% and 98%.
The City will continue to build on the successes and achievements realized in the current year and
remains committed to serving its customers. The Citys main revenue sources consisting of utilities fees,
property and parcel taxes, business license taxes, and sales and use tax, have all sustained steady
growth this year. As the City moves into fiscal year 2022, we are optimistic about continued growth but will
remain attentive to the prevailing economic climate and mindful of managing enhanced services within the
limits of our adopted budget.
Additionally, the City continues to make strides in developing its community relationships. With seasonal
community outreach events, it is connecting with Vernon residents and those residents in neighboring
communities in the southeast region. The City has begun circulating a Resident Newsletter and is also
active on its social media platforms, focusing on dissemination of information that is relevant to the
community, ensuring that its population is well-informed on City matters. By forging these connections
with community members, the City is confident that the bi-directional conversations that result will allow it
to better serve the needs of its constituents.
Vernons Fashionable Business Resources
Vernon serves a major center for Southern California's fashion industry. Vernon is home to more than
10% of fashion-related jobs in Los Angeles County. The fashion industry accounts for approximately 15%
of Vernon's businesses. The availability of specialized office and warehouse space in Vernon makes the
City a top site for apparel, textile design, storage and manufacturing companies in the fashion industry.
More than 265 fashion industry companies engaged in design, dyeing, cutting, sewing, importing and
distribution are located in Vernon. Fashion industry businesses prosper in Vernon because they do not
need to leave Vernon to connect with most of their key business partners. Fashion industry companies
have quick access to Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire for their product distribution
channels and can easily utilize national and international trade routes through nearby freeways, railroads
and ports. Vernon's low taxes, lower cost power and water rates, and business- friendly municipal
services are why the fashion industry calls Vernon its home.
Powering Business Competitiveness
The City of Vernon Public Utilities Department (VPU) serves as an essential resource to the City's
business and residential community, providing dependable, high-quality utility services at very competitive
rates. VPU offers electricity, natural gas, water, and fiber optic services to Vernon based businesses and
residents, often at a cost savings compared to neighboring utility providers. The City- owned electric,
natural gas, water, and fiber optic distribution systems have a strong, established history of reliability,
capable of efficiently and successfully serving the needs of the City's unique largely industrial community.
The electric utility provides businesses reliable and competitive electrical services. The electric utility has
operated for more than 80 years. Its electrical power and distribution system helps guarantee
uninterrupted electrical service for Vernon's businesses. Electricity costs for large businesses are
comparable and less than power costs from competing utility providers in the Los Angeles region,
depending on the customer type and service being provided.
(iii)
Vernon's natural gas distribution system offers significant advantages for businesses. Vernon's natural
gas transportation rates are less than those offered by a large private natural gas utility in the same
service area. Vernons natural gas is distributed through a robust network of more than 44 miles gas
distribution pipelines.
Vernon has 35 miles of fiber optic cable spanning its five-square miles, offering businesses dark fiber
and lit fiber data services. Vernon's advanced network of fiber optic cable provides businesses new
high-speed methods to virtually connect their buildings and offices to the Internet at lower costs with high
reliability.
Vernon's water utility offers large industrial users water rates that are among the lowest in Southern
California. Vernon maintains reliable water sources to serve a customer base that uses a high volume of
water. Vernon supplies most of the water it sells from City-owned wells and purchases the remaining
water supplies from regional agencies through agreements with the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California (MWD).
Safeguarding the Environment
Vernon is one of four cities in the State of California with a health department. Vernon's Health and
Environmental Control Department regulates industrial operations conducted in the City.
Since Vernon maintains a municipal health authority, local businesses are able to deal directly with the
City health department officials to address important environmental issues, which help businesses
streamline the monitoring and enforcement of health-related Federal laws, and State, LA County and
Municipal ordinances, rules and regulations.
Vernon is focused on protecting the environment. Accordingly, Vernon has in place strict ordinances
governing the practices of heavy manufacturers, food processors, garment manufacturers, and hazardous
waste storage and disposal. Each function in a manner that allows the City to effectively serve the
community in protecting public health.
Vernon manages several special programs and operations to safeguard the publics health and safety and
protect the City's environment. Among these are the following: Certified Unified Program Agency,
Accidental Release Prevention, Animal/Vector Control, Food Inspection Program, Garment Manufacturing
Program, Hazardous Materials Monitoring, Hazardous Waste, Public/Employee Health Education, Solid
Waste Management, Storm Water Control, Above Ground Storage Tank Inspection, Underground
Storage Tank Inspection, and Water Quality programs. Each of these programs is designed to ensure a
safe environment for residents and the business community.
Public Safety
Creating a safe environment for residents and businesses to thrive is a key factor to Vernons success.
The Citys skilled Police and Fire Department personnel are some of the best in their respective fields.
Expeditious response times and community engagement are hallmarks of their exceptional service.
The mission of the Vernon Police Department (VPD) is to provide swift, skillful and responsive law
enforcement services to the people and businesses of our community through the application of proactive
problem-solving strategies and the development of equal partnerships with the people served. Officers
seek to ensure a sense of well-being in the community and they are guided by their commitment to
working closely with the industrial population. VPD is dedicated to maintaining the highest degree of
professionalism and ethical standards in its pursuit of this mission, ever mindful of the need to safeguard
the individual liberties of all members of the community.
(iv)
VPD responds to emergency calls in less than four minutes. Vernon police officers are specially trained
and outfitted with the latest technology to investigate offenses unique to an industrial community. Using
mobile computer terminals in their patrol cars, officers can query criminal databases from the field and
connect seamlessly with the Department's advanced communications center, which is fully integrated with
its records management and E911 systems. With its specialized units, the VPD maintains an effective
community policing strategy.
The Vernon Fire Department continues to be the leader in exclusively Industrial firefighting among its
peers and has been awarded a Class 1 Public Classification rating by the Insurances Services Office
(ISO), an organization that independently evaluates municipal fire protection efforts in communities
throughout the United States. The Class 1 rating is the highest possible score that agencies in California
can receive. A total of 10 such departments in California and 58 departments nationally have achieved
this prestigious, significant ranking. Vernon Fire Department team members are public servant oriented
and take immense pride in the superior service provided to the community.
The City maintains four stations within the City's five square-miles that enable its firefighters and
paramedics to achieve an average emergency response time of three minutes. Vernon's firefighters are
highly trained to manage complex emergency incidents and equipped to deal with industrial fires and toxic
hazards. The Fire Department consists of seven main Divisions which are key to its successful operation:
Fire Suppression, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Emergency Management, Fire Apparatus &
Equipment, Training & Safety, Hazardous Materials and Administration. These divisions function in a
manner that allows the department to effectively serve the community in emergency and non-emergency
situations.
Vernon's Police and Fire Departments serve as a major emergency response and disaster preparedness
resource for the Greater Los Angeles region. Vernon works closely with L.A. County and municipal public
safety agencies in neighboring cities to offer essential public safety resources and assistance at times of
an emergency through mutual aid agreements. Vernon consistently provides more police and fire
emergency response mutual aid coverage than that which the City requests through these agreements.
Vernon's specialized emergency service of hazardous materials and search-and-rescue units frequently
lend their expertise at major public safety incidents throughout Southern California.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Under the direction of the Mayor and City Council, City management identifies the priorities that shape the
path leading into the Citys future. City initiatives are reevaluated regularly, and new goals are frequently
vetted to ensure that City efforts are consistent with the priorities of our policy body and the community.
The City strives each year to better fulfill its mission of delivering outstanding municipal services that are
responsive, comprehensive, and beneficial to the entire community by continuing its tradition of fostering
innovation, ingenuity, and opportunity within its operations. City staff remains focused on actions that
achieve the primary goals of tending to the publics needs, building neighborhood connections, and
governing for results that strengthen our community. The Citys dedication to improvement and
modernization has created an environment where City of Vernon residents and businesses are dialed in
and able to collaborate with staff, voice their concerns, and have access to a plethora of information on
the City and their chosen topic(s) of interest. As these relationships flourish, businesses and residents
alike are able to enjoy all that Vernon has to offer while also participating in guiding Vernon down its path
into the future.

1. Vernon is very committed to meeting its debt service coverages. In order to address the budget
deficit historically present in the General Fund, the City placed on the ballot a measure to increase the
Utility Users Tax from 1% to 6% which passed in April 2019. The passage of this measure will
effectively eliminate operating transfers from its enterprise activities to the General Fund. To
minimize the burden on the business community, an equivalent discount has been provided to
Vernons electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utility customers.
2. Vernon has the capacity to expand its services as new businesses emerge and as existing
businesses flourish and expand. An attractive, business friendly approach is extended to
customers in the form of discounts that are available for large electricity consumers. Revenue sharing
mechanisms have also been implemented to help stimulate both growth and retention. The Citys Good
Governance and Reform initiatives provide a tangible demonstration of the overarching commitment
to sound governance and best business practices.
3. Vernon is a party to a long-term pre-paid natural gas agreement with Citigroup Energy, Inc. (CEI),
which obligates Vernon to take natural gas for 15 years (from 2006 to 2021). At the end of 2015, the
credit rating of Citigroup, Inc., CEIs parent and guarantor under the pre-paid agreement (Citigroup),
was downgraded. Vernon believed this downgrade triggered a credit support obligation under the
agreement. CEI and Citigroup disagreed. In March 2016, the City brought an action for declaratory
relief in federal district court against, among others, Citigroup and CEI, alleging that the defendants had
breached the pre-paid agreement. In August 2016, the parties entered into a confidential settlement
agreement and ended the litigation. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Vernon does not
believe it has any exposure under the pre-paid agreement should either CEI or Citigroup fail to
perform.
4. Based upon the Citys electric debt service schedule, there will be a significant reduction in debt
service starting in 2027. With input from business and residential communities, the City continues to
evaluate its position and initiatives to ensure that electric rates remain competitive and that
infrastructure needs are being addressed.
5. The inherent governance challenges in the City, due to a very small residential population,
continues to be addressed by its residents, businesses, Chamber of Commerce, and City Council.
Over the past 5 years, the public has become much more engaged in the political process and
continues to keep a watchful eye on all important issues facing the City. The disincorporation
controversy raised by assembly bill 46 in 2011 has been addressed with the whole-hearted adoption
of key reforms and comprehensive implementation of best practices in all City operations.
6. The State of California Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) is no longer pursuing the
disincorporation of the City. Vernon has addressed all outstanding JLAC recommendations effective
July 2018. Emphatically committed to good governance and transparency, the City is proud of its
success in satisfying each reform that JLAC recommended. As a result, the City moves forward with
clear, concise, and comprehensive policies and procedures that uphold best practices.
7. The shutdown of the Exide recycled battery plant operation has been and will continue to be under
State of California oversight. The Department of Toxic Substances Control is completely responsible for
monitoring the site and all related cleanup on a continual basis. The State of California has
established funding for the Exide plant cleanup effort collected through a fee on each battery recycled
along with any restitution from Exide which remains a global company. There is no direct impact on
City operations and Exide does not pose a concern to existing Vernon businesses.
(vi)
8. Vernons electric rates remain competitive, and in many cases, lower than adjacent municipal and
investor owned utilities. However, in many respects, Vernons electric utility services continue to
outperform its neighboring peers thanks to a higher reliability rating and greater customer satisfaction.
In fact, VPUs electric reliability ranked in the top 10% nationwide in a recent benchmarking study.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control designed to
ensure that the assets of the government are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, and to ensure that
adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control is designed to provide reasonable, but
not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes
that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
This report consists of managements representations concerning the finances of the City. As a result,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information
presented in this report. Management asserts that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, this financial
report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
BUDGETARY CONTROLS
The City maintains budgetary controls, the objective of which is to ensure compliance with legal
provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of all
governmental funds and proprietary funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. The level of
budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount)
is established at the departmental level.
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
Over the years, through sound fiscal management, the City has positioned itself well to weather economic
downturns, create a positive atmosphere for economic development, and allow flexibility in addressing
budgetary challenges. As of June 30, 2021, the Citys overall total net position was $211.9 million. This
consisted of a positive governmental net position of $64.5 million and business-type net position of $147.4
million. By continuing to develop sound fiscal management plans, the City intends to maintain an overall
positive net position.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The preparation of this report on a timely basis is a team effort involving many dedicated people across
the entire organization. I would like to extend a special thanks to the talented finance professionals
throughout the City, led by Joaquin Leon, Deputy City Treasurer, Angela Melgar, Finance Manager and
Jessica Alcaraz, Financial Services Administrator. Appreciation is also expressed to Carlos Fandino, City
Administrator; Zaynah Moussa, Interim City Attorney; Abraham Alemu, General Manager of Public
Utilities; Michael Earl, Human Resource Director, and Diana Figueroa, Administrative Analyst.
(vii)
In closing, without the leadership and support of the City Council, the preparation and results presented
within this report would not have been conceivable. Their steadfast leadership has made possible the
implementation of the Citys important, innovative concepts in fiscal management discussed herein.
Should you have any questions regarding the documentation provided, please do not hesitate to contact

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Vernon
Vernon, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Vernon,
California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to financial
statements, which collectively comprise the Citys financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Vernon

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2021, and the respective
changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matter
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
managements discussion and analysis, the General Fund budgetary comparison schedule, the
schedules of changes in net pension liability and related ratios and schedules of pension contributions
related to the Citys miscellaneous and safety pension plans, and the schedule of changes in net OPEB
liability and related ratios related to the Citys other postemployment benefits plan, be presented to
supplement the financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the financial statements,
is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part
of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the financial statements. We do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not
provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
March 3, 2022, on our consideration of the Citys internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Citys internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the Citys internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2021
(3)
As management of the City of Vernon (the City), we offer readers of the financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
OVERVIEW OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.
The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: (i) government-wide financial statements,
(ii) fund financial statements, and (iii) notes to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's total assets and deferred outflows of
resources and total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported
as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether
the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise
to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental
activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, and health services. The
business-type activities of the City is administered by the Vernon Public Utilities which consists of the
Electric, Gas, Water, and Fiber Optics utilities.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Vernon (known as the primary
government), but also blended component units. Certain blended component units, although legally
separate entities are, in substance, part of the primary governments operations and are included as part of
the primary government. Fiduciary funds are not presented in the government-wide financial statements as
the resources are not available to support City programs.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 16-18 of this report.
Fund financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds
of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
CITY OF VERNON
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2021

Governmental funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such
information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements,
it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental
funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and
governmental activities.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has
been provided for the General Fund (see page 75).
The basic governmental funds financial statements can be found on pages 19- 22 of this report.
Proprietary funds
The Citys proprietary funds consist of enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same
functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses
enterprise funds to account for its Vernon Public Utilities which consists of the Electric, Gas, Water, and
Fiber Optics utilities.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in
more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Vernon Public
Utilities. Segment information for each of the Electric, Gas, Water, and Fiber Optics utilities are presented in
Note 9 on pages 68-70.
The basic proprietary funds financial statements can be found on pages 23-27 of this report.
Fiduciary funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of
those funds are not available to support City programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like
that used for proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary funds financial statements can be found on pages 28-29 of this report.
Notes to the basic financial statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on
pages 30-73 of this report.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing
requirements. In particular, the nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund
balances may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the
end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported a combined ending fund
balances of $16,967,255 (see page 19), an increase of $8,444,838 from the prior year. Approximately
0.03% of the total fund balance amount, $51,672, constitutes nonspendable fund balance, which are
amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required to be maintained intact. Approximately 24.5%
of the total fund balance amount, $4,146,007, constitutes restricted fund balance, which are amounts
that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally,
or through enabling legislation. The remainder of the fund balance amount, $12,769,576 is an
unassigned fund balance deficit to indicate that it is the residual classification that is not contained in
the other classifications.
The General Fund is the operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, the total fund
balance was $16,967,255 (see page 21). At the end of the current fiscal year, the total fund balance
represents 27.5% of the total expenditures for the year.
Proprietary funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide
financial statements but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position for the Vernon Public Utilities at the end of the year amounted to a deficit
balance of $24,931,923 (see page 24). This deficit balance in unrestricted net position is primarily due
to the proprietary funds being heavily invested in capital assets for which it has not yet recovered the
cost of capital invested. The proprietary funds expect to eliminate these deficit balances through
increased future revenues.
The total increase in net position for the Vernon Public Utilities was $4,018,453 (see page 25). Other
factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the
City's business-type activities.

GENERAL FUND AND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted amounts
and the actual amount of change in fund balance was $10,010,644. The key reasons for this variance
were due to higher actual revenues than projected of $8,919,741 and lower actual expenditures than
appropriated by $818,174.
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted estimated
revenues and actual revenues was $8,919,741. The main reason for the variance, overall revenues
came in higher than expected in most categories especially taxes by $1,374,948 and $8,935,173
respectively offset by a decrease in other revenues and intergovernmental revenues by $288,926 and
$153,981 respectively.
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted amount and
the actual amount for expenditures was $818,174. The key reasons for this variance were due to higher
appropriations than actual expenditures of $4,152,475 in capital outlay offset by an increase in public
safety of $5,300,440.
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted amounts
and the actual amount for other financing sources was $272,729. The key reason for this variance was
due to a gain on sale of asset by $486,009 offset by a lower amount transferred by the Electric Fund by
$213,280 than budgeted.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital assets
The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30,
2021, amounts to $313,769,108 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets
includes land, construction in progress, building, utility system improvements, machinery and
equipment, infrastructure such as roads, and intangible assets such as environmental emission credits.
The total decrease in the City's investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was
$15,998,966, less depreciation of $14,486,824, for a net increase of $1,502,340 (See Note 4).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City of Vernon, California (City) have been prepared in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body
for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more
significant of the Citys accounting policies are described below.
A. Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on September 16, 1905 as a General Law City. Effective
July 1, 1988, the City became a Charter City. The City operates under a Council-City
Administrator form of government. As required by generally accepted accounting
principles, the accompanying financial statements present the City of Vernon (primary
government) and its component units, entities for which the primary government is
considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally
separate entities, are, in substance, part of the governments operations and so data
from these units are combined with the data of the primary government. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2021, the City transferred its fire department operations to Los
Angeles County, California. See Note 4 and Note 7 for further details on how the transfer
impacted the City's capital assets and safety pension plan, respectively.
B. Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the
primary government (the City). These statements include the financial activities of the
overall government. It is the Citys policy to make eliminations to minimize the double
counting of internal activities, except for services rendered by governmental activities to
business-type activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and
business-type activities of the City. Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees charged to external parties. Effective February 1, 2012, due to
AB 1X 26, the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies throughout California, the
activities of the dissolved Vernon Redevelopment Agency are recorded in the Vernon
Redevelopment Successor Agency trust fund which is a component unit of the City.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and
program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for
each function of the Citys governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are
specifically associated with a program or function; and therefore, are clearly identifiable
to a particular function. Program revenues include (i) charges paid by the recipients of
goods or services offered by the programs and (ii) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program.
Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented
instead as general revenues.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental fund, proprietary funds and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements. The major individual governmental fund and the major individual enterprise
funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the Citys funds and blended
component units. Separate statements for each fund category governmental and
proprietary are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major
governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating
items. Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from
exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange
transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal
values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from
nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. Operating expenses include the cost of
sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses.
The City reports one major governmental fund:
The General Fund is the Citys primary operating fund. It is used to account for all
revenues and expenditures necessary to carry out basic governmental activities of the
City that are not accounted for through other funds. For the City, the General Fund
includes such activities as general government, public safety, health services, and public
works.
The City reports three major enterprise funds:
The Electric Fund accounts for the maintenance and operations of the Citys
electric utility plant. Revenues for this fund are primarily from charges for
services.
The Gas Fund accounts for the maintenance and operations of the Citys gas
utility plant. Revenues for this funds are primarily from charges for services.
The Water Fund accounts for the maintenance and operations of the Citys water
utility plant. Revenues for this fund are primarily from charges for services.
The City also reports a fiber optics nonmajor enterprise fund for the maintenance and
operation of the Citys fiber optics utility plant.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
The City reports one fiduciary fund:
Vernon Redevelopment Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund
This is a fiduciary fund type used by the City to report trust arrangements under
which principal and income benefit other governments. This fund reports the
assets, liabilities and activities of the Successor Agency to the Dissolved Vernon
Redevelopment Agency. Unlike the limited reporting typically utilized for Agency
Funds, the Private-Purpose Trust Fund reports a statement of fiduciary net
position and a statement of changes in fiduciary net position.
The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues
are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred,
regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in
which the City gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value
in exchange, include property and sales taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On
an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which
the taxes are levied. Revenues from sales taxes are recognized when the underlying
transactions take place. Revenues from grants, entitlements and donations are
recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligible requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental fund type financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this
method, revenues and other governmental fund type financial resources are recognized
when they become susceptible to accrual that is, when they become both measurable
and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
Property, sales, and other taxes are considered available and are accrued when
received within 60 days after fiscal year-end. Additionally, all other revenue sources are
considered available and are accrued when received within 60 days of year-end.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is
due. General capital assets acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental
fund statements.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Citys
own programs. The City maintains a separate fund to report the activities of the
Successor Agency to the Dissolved Redevelopment Agency. These assets do not
belong to the City. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for
proprietary funds.
Because the governmental fund financial statements are presented on a different
measurement focus and basis of accounting than the government-wide financial
statements for governmental activities, reconciliations are presented which briefly
explain the adjustments necessary to reconcile the fund financial statements to the
governmental-wide statements.
C. Cash and Investments
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds to maximize
returns for all funds, except for funds held by trustees or fiscal agents.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers amounts on deposit in
the Citys cash and investment pool and all highly liquid investments (including restricted
cash and investments) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased
to be cash equivalents. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Investments in nonparticipating interest-earning investment contracts are reported at
cost and all other investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the
amount that the City could reasonably expect to receive for an investment in a current
sale between a willing buyer and a seller and is generally measured by quoted market
prices.
D. Receivables/Payables
Short-term interfund receivables and payables are classified as due from other funds
and due to other funds, respectively, on the balance sheet and as internal balances on
the statement of net position. Long-term interfund receivables and payables are
classified as advances to/from other funds, respectively, on the balance sheet and as
internal balances on the statement of net position.
Proprietary fund trade receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible
accounts. Allowances for uncollectible were $1,072,323 as of June 30, 2021. Utility
customers are billed monthly. The estimated value of services provided, but unbilled at
year-end, has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
E. Inventories
All inventories are valued at cost, or estimated historical costs when historical
information is unavailable, using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory costs in
the governmental funds are recorded as an expenditure when used and are reported
under the consumption method of accounting. Inventory costs in the proprietary funds
are recorded as an expense or capitalized into capital assets when used.
F. Prepaid Items
The City entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of natural gas in 2006 with
Citigroup Energy Inc. for a specified quantity of gas to be delivered to the Electric Fund
in accordance with the terms of the agreement. As full compensation for the total
contract quantity to be delivered, the City made a prepayment which is amortized over
the life of the agreement based on the monthly contract quantities to be delivered. The
agreement was in effect until May 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the prepayment was
fully amortized.
The City also made a prepayment to Southern California Public Power Authority
(SCPPA) for the Citys share of SCPPAs payoff of the Hoover Center and Air Slots debt.
This prepaid amount is amortized over the life of the debt based on the annual debt
service obligations. See Note 9 for further information regarding SCPPA.
G. Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at historical cost or at estimated
historical cost if the actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are
valued at their acquisition value on the date contributed. Capital assets include
intangible assets with indefinite lives and public domain (infrastructure) general capital
assets consisting of certain improvements including roads and bridges, sidewalks, curbs
and gutters, and traffic light systems. The capitalization threshold for all capital assets is
$5,000. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated using the straight-line method
over their estimated useful lives in the government-wide and proprietary funds
statements.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Infrastructure 10 to 50 Years
Utility Plant and Buildings 25 to 50 Years
Improvements 10 to 20 Years
Machinery and Equipment 3 to 35 Years
CITY OF VERNON
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
G. Capital Assets (Continued)
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and
major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend
useful lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is included in the changes in net financial position.
H. Compensated Absences
Accumulated vacation is accrued when incurred in the government-wide, proprietary and
fiduciary fund financial statements. A liability for accrued vacation is recorded in the
governmental fund only to the extent that such amounts have matured (i.e., as a result of
employee resignations and retirements). Upon termination of employment, the City will
pay the employee all accumulated vacation leave at 100% of the employees base
hourly rate.
I. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of
resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and
will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time.
The City has the following items that qualify for reporting as deferred outflows of
resources:
Deferred outflows related to pension and OPEB plans equal to employer
contributions made after the measurement date of the pension and OPEB
liabilities.
Deferred outflows related to pension and OPEB plans for differences between
expected and actual experiences and for changes in employers proportion and
differences between employers contributions and the proportionate share of
employer contributions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal
to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are
provided with pensions and OPEB benefits through the plans.
Deferred outflows related to OPEB plans for changes in assumptions. These
amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the
expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with OPEB
benefits through the plans.
Deferred outflows related to pension and OPEB plans resulting from the net
difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments. These
amounts are amortized over five years.

I. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources (Continued)
Deferred amount on bond refunding which is amortized over the life of refunding
debt.
The statement of net position and the governmental fund balance sheet will sometimes
report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net
position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for
reporting in this category:
Deferred inflows related to pension and OPEB plans for changes in assumptions.
These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the
expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with
pensions and OPEB benefits through the plans.
Deferred inflows related to OPEB plans for differences between expected and
actual experiences. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to
the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are
provided with OPEB benefits through the plans.
Deferred inflows related to pension plans for changes in employers proportion
and differences between employers contributions and the proportionate share of
employer contributions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal
to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are
provided with pension benefits through the plans.
Deferred inflows related to the deferred gain from the sale of generation assets.
These amounts are amortized over the lives of the related sale agreements.
J. Long-Term Obligations
Certain of the Citys governmental fund obligations not currently due and payable at
year-end are reported in the government-wide statement of net position. Long-term debt
and other obligations financed by proprietary funds and the fiduciary fund are reported
as liabilities in the appropriate proprietary fund, fiduciary fund and government-wide
statement of net position, respectively. Bond discounts and premiums, and deferred
amounts on refunding are amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line
method, which approximates the effective interest method.
K. Net Position
The government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements
utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized as follows:
CITY OF VERNON
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
(37)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
K. Net Position (Continued)
Net Investment in Capital Assets This category groups all capital assets,
including infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated
depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the
acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this
category.
Restricted Net Position This category presents external restrictions imposed by
creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and
restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position This category represents the net position of the City not
reported in other categories.
The Citys policy regarding whether to first apply restricted or unrestricted resources
when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net
position are available is to use restricted resources first.
L. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, the governmental fund balance is classified in the
following categories:
Nonspendable Fund Balance includes amounts that are (a) not in spendable
form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The not in
spendable form criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to
cash, for example, inventories, prepaid amounts, and long-term notes receivable.
Restricted Fund Balance includes amounts that are restricted for specific
purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally or through
enabling legislation. Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the
consent of resource providers.
Committed Fund Balance includes amounts that can only be used for the specific
purposes determined by formal action of the Citys highest level of decision-making
authority, its City Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City
taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally (for example,
ordinance).
Unassigned Fund Balance includes the residual classification for the General
Fund and includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications.
In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are
available in multiple fund balance classifications, fund balance is depleted in the order of
restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.

M. Encumbrances
The City establishes encumbrances to record the amount of purchase orders, contracts,
and other obligations, which have not yet been fulfilled, canceled or discharged.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as a component of unassigned
fund balance. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
N. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from those estimates.
O. Property Taxes
The County of Los Angeles (County) levies, collects and apportions property taxes for all
taxing jurisdictions within the County. Property taxes are determined by applying
approved rates to the properties assessed values. The County remits property taxes
applicable to the City less an administrative fee throughout the year.
Article XIIIA of the state of California Constitution limits the property tax levy to support
general government services of the various taxing jurisdictions to $1.00 per $100 of
assessed value. Taxes levied to service voter-approved debt prior to June 30, 1978, are
excluded from this limitation.
Secured property taxes are levied in two installments, November 1 and February 1. They
become delinquent with penalties after December 10 and April 10, respectively. The lien
date is January 1 of each year for secured and unsecured property taxes and the levy
date occurs on the 4th Monday of September of the tax year. Unsecured property taxes
on the tax roll as of July 31 become delinquent with penalties on August 31.
P. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of
resources related to pensions and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net
position of the Citys California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) and
PARS plan and additions to/deductions from the Plans fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS and PARS. For this
purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized
when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at
fair value.

Disclosure Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City
manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter-term
and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of
the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to
provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The City monitors the interest rate
risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The
City has no specific limitations with respect to this metric.

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by
the California Government Code, the Citys Investment Policy, or debt agreements, and the
actual rating as of the year-end for each investment type.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Citys Investment Policy places no limit on the amount the City may invest in any one
issuer excluding a 10% limitation on commercial paper, mutual funds, and money market
mutual funds and a 30% limitation on bankers acceptances. The Citys Investment Policy
also places no limit on the amount of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee that the trustee
may invest in one issuer that is governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City,
rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the Citys
Investment Policy. As of June 30, 2021, there were no investments held by the City that
exceeded 5% in any one issuer, excluding the investments in money market mutual funds.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and
the Citys Investment Policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the
exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments. Under the California
Government Code, a financial institution is required to secure deposits, in excess of the
FDIC insurance amount of $250,000, made by state or local governmental units by pledging
government securities held in the form of an undivided collateral pool. The market value of
the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount
deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure
City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the
secured public deposits. Such collateral is held by the pledging financial institutions trust
department or agent in the Citys name.
At year-end, the carrying amounts of the Citys deposits were $123,417,314. The bank
balances were $123,572,101, respectively. The difference between the bank balances and
the carrying amounts represents outstanding checks and deposits in transit. As of June 30,
2021, the Citys deposits with financial institutions were either FDIC-insured or collateralized
by the pledging financial institution as required by Section 53652 of the California
Government Code.

Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the
state of California. The fair value of the Citys investment in this pool is reported in the
accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the Citys pro rata share of the
fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio. The balance available for withdrawal
is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF. LAIF is not rated.
Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The hierarchy
is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs
are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 inputs are quoted prices of
similar assets in active markets, and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The fair value of the Citys investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund and the money
market mutual funds are not subject to the fair value hierarchy requirement.

NOTE 6 RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets, errors, and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters.
The City utilizes insurance policy(s) to transfer these risks. Each policy has either self-
insured retention or deductible, which are parts of our Risk Financing Program. There have
been no significant settlements or reductions in insurance coverage during the past three
fiscal years.
Starting in Fiscal 2010, the City chose to establish the Risk Financing Program in the
General Fund, whereby assets are set aside for claim-litigation settlements associated with
the above-mentioned risks up to their self-insured retentions or policy deductibles. Athens
Administrators Inc. is our Third Party Administrator for the Citys workers compensation
program and they provide basic services for general liability claims and litigation.

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees Retirement Law requires that the
employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by
the actuary and shall be effective on July 1 following notice of a change in the rate.
Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of
June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount
necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an
additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to
contribute to the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution
rate of employees.
Contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, included $9,071,469 for the UAL
and $3,559,021 for the normal cost rate resulting in a total amount paid of $12,630,490.
B. Net Pension Liability
The Citys net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability,
less the pension plans fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each of the
Plans is measured as of June 30, 2020, using an annual actuarial valuation as of
June 30, 2019, rolled forward to June 30, 2020, using standard update procedures. A
summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension
liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined
using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected
returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class.
In determining the long term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both
short term and long term market return expectations as well as the expected pension
fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds asset classes, expected
compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short term (first 10 years) and
the long-term (11+ years) using a building block approach. Using the expected nominal
returns for both short term and long term, the present value of benefits was calculated
for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single
equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash
flows as the one calculated using both short term and long term returns. The expected
rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and
adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed Real Return Real Return
Asset Years Years
Asset Class (a) Allocation 1 - 10 (b) 11+ (c)
Global Equity 50.00% 4.80% 5.98%

(b) An expected inflation of 2.0% used for this period.
(c) An expected inflation of 2.92% used for this period.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions
from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based
on those assumptions, the Plans fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the
long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

The City reported a net pension liability for its proportionate share of the net pension
liability of the safety plan as of June 30, 2021, in the amount of $88,682,300.
The Citys net pension liability for the safety plan is measured as the proportionate share
of the net pension liability of the CalPERS cost sharing pool. The Citys net pension
liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2020, and the total pension liability for the
safety plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of June 30, 2019, rolled forward to June 30, 2020, using standard update
procedures. The Citys proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection
of the Citys long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected
contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.

A. General Information About the OPEB Plan
Plan Description
Retiree medical and dental benefits are established through the Citys Fringe Benefits
and Salary Resolution as well as individual memoranda of understanding between the
City and the Citys various employee bargaining groups.
Benefits Provided
Generally, the City will provide a postemployment benefit plan for the employee only to
those who retire at age sixty (60) or later with twenty (20) years of continuous
uninterrupted service up to the age of sixty-five (65). Alternatively, employees who retire
before the age of sixty (60) with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service,
will be permitted to pay their medical and dental premium cost and upon reaching the
age of fifty (50), the City will pay the premium for the medical and dental plans until they
reach the age of sixty-five (65).
Resolution 2011-129 provided lifetime medical benefits to Police Management
employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a
minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that services have
been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2011-127 sets forth the Memorandum of
Understanding of the Vernon Police Officers Benefit Association, provided lifetime
medical benefits to those employees and their spouses, who have been employed as
sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10)
years of that service has been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2012-217 granted
specific retiree medical benefits to employees who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal
year in order to provide an incentive for early retirement whereby the City authorized the
payment of medical and dental insurance premiums for eligible retiring employees and
their eligible dependents with at least ten (10) years of service plus 5% for each
additional full year of service above the ten (10) years of service, and that this offer be
extended as an option to safety and safety management groups, at their discretion, in
addition to the related options provided in the Vernon Firefighters Association
Memorandum of Understanding and the Vernon Police Officers Benefit Association
Memorandum of Understanding. Resolution 2013-06 declared that the retiree medical
benefits which had not been a vested right for employees will continue to be non-vested
right for employees who continue to be employed by the City on or after July 1, 2013, but
will become a vested right for those who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The
Citys plan is considered a substantive OPEB plan and the City recognizes cost in
accordance with GASB Statement No 75. The City may terminate its unvested OPEB in
the future.

participant, including the Authority, is responsible for financing its share of construction
and operating costs. The City has the following take or pay contract with the Authority:
Palo Verde Project
The Authority purchased a 5.91% interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating
Station (the Station), a nuclear-fired generating station near Phoenix, Arizona, from
the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, and a 6.55%
share of the right to use certain portions of the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley
Transmission System. The City has a 4.9% entitlement share of the Authoritys
interest in the station.
Between 1983 and 2008, the Authority issued $3.266 billion in debt of Power Project
Revenue Bonds for the Station to finance the bonds and the purchase of the
Authoritys share of the Station and related transmission rights. The bonds are not
obligations of any member of the Authority or public agency other than the Authority.
Under a power sales contract with the Authority, the City is obligated on a take or
pay basis for its proportionate share of power generated, as well as to make
payments for its proportionate share of the operating and maintenance expenses of
the Station, debt service on the bonds and any other debt, whether or not the project
or any part thereof or its output is suspended, reduced or terminated. The City took
its proportionate share of the power generated and its proportionate share of costs
during the fiscal year 2021 was $2,771,758. The City expects no significant
increases in costs related to its nuclear resources.
Power Purchase Commitments
The Authority has entered into power purchase agreements with project participants.
These agreements are substantially take-and-pay contracts where there may be other
obligations not associated with the delivery of energy. The City has entered into power
purchase agreements with the Authority related to the following projects:

NOTE 1 BUDGET
The City adheres to the following general procedures in establishing its annual budget,
which is reflected in the accompanying General Fund budgetary comparison schedule.
An annual budget is adopted by the City Council that provides for the general
operation of the City. The budget includes authorized expenditures and estimated
revenues of the General Fund.
The budget is adopted on a modified accrual basis and formally integrated into the
accounting system and employed as a management control device during the year.
Encumbrances, which are commitments related to executory contracts for goods and
services, are recorded to assure effective budgetary control and accountability.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as committed fund balance for
subsequent year expenditures. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
Excess expenditures over appropriations are financed by beginning fund balance.
The final budgeted amounts used in the accompanying General Fund budgetary
comparison schedule include any amendments made during the fiscal year 2019.
Encumbrances carried forward from the prior year are reflected in the original
budget.
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted
amounts and the actual amount of change in fund balance was $10,010,644. The key
reason for this variance was due to higher-than-expected taxes of $8,935,173 and a
favorable variance in actual expenditures than projected by $818,174.
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted
estimated revenues and actual revenues was $8,919,741. There were several reasons for
the variance, overall revenues came in higher than expected in most categories especially
taxes and other revenues offset by a decrease in license and permits and intergovernmental
revenues.
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted
amount and the actual amount for expenditures was $818,174. The key reasons for this
variance were due to higher appropriations than actual expenditures of $4,152,475 in capital
outlay, $1,458,957 in public works, $373,606 in general government, $133,576 in health
services, and $(5,300,440) in public safety.
For the current year, the General Funds total positive variance between the final budgeted
amounts and the actual amount for other financing sources was $272,729. The key reason
for this variance was due to a gain on sale of assets of $486,009.

Introduction
A message from Abraham Alemu, General Manager of Vernon Public Utilities
While the past couple of years have presented historic challenges on a global scale, the City of
Vernon and Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) have exhibited strength and resilience by continuing to
provide safe, reliable and affordable services during the challenges caused by the COVID-19
pandemic. VPU seamlessly provided the electric, water, gas and fiber utilities to its residents
and business community who are vital in manufacturing and distributing goods throughout the
region. Recently, VPU established an impressive goal of providing the lowest electric rates in
the State of California by 2030 in order to support customer competitiveness and enable
community businesses to thrive as the economic engine in Southeast Los Angeles.
In the past year, VPU has continued to complete major infrastructure upgrade projects to meet
the increasing needs of its business and industrial community many of whom manufacture
essential goods and products throughout the United States, such as cold storage, food
packaging and steel production. These necessary enhancements to the VPU infrastructure
foster improvement projects, which increased reliability and help the utility to meet system
adequacy requirements, including substation equipment upgrades, automated metering, voltage
upgrades, and proactive utility pole replacement and financing initiatives. In addition, the electric
infrastructure upgrades support the utilitys Water Division Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs)
aimed at creating sustainable water affordability and independence for Vernon residential and
business customers. During the past year, the Department was able to drastically reduce its
need to purchase water from imported sources and is serving water from the Citys groundwater
sources, which results in significant cost savings for the utility and to its customers.
As VPU enters its third year of a 4-year voter-approved electric rate increase, the utility will
continue to use this funding to promote programs and projects that will support increased
reliability, resilience, and low rates. VPU will also consider and analyze new technologies in an
evolving energy landscape to bring renewable, environmentally conscious programs to
businesses and residents. Moving forward, VPU has wide-scale transportation electrification
plans to help advance customer adoption and play a role in the utilitys long-term energy
resources planning and deployment of green offerings.
VPU is well-positioned to maintain a strong financial performance into the long-term future and
has made notable strides towards achieving and exceeding its Renewable Portfolio Standard
(RPS) and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. VPU is actively considering a Solar plus
Energy Storage Purchase Power Agreement (PPA), which will be the largest PPA in its portfolio.
Additionally, the City recently re-acquired the Malburg Generating Station, a 134-megawatt
natural gas-fired, combined-cycle facility. With this resource back within the utilitys ownership
and operation, VPU now has the control and capability to reduce ongoing operating costs and
address the Citys long-term needs for local power generation. Both projects play a critical role
in achieving the long-term goals established in Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).
As part of the repurchase, the utilitys electric financial ratings were reassessed by Moodys and
S&P. VPU received an upgraded credit rating from Moodys and both agencies gave VPU a
stable/positive outlook. This rating upgrade is a testament, among other factors, to the utilitys
commitment to foster strong management fundamentals and maintain fiscal strength.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
City of Vernon, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Vernon Public Utilities (VPU), of the City of
Vernon, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the
financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
City of Vernon, California
(2)
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of Vernon Public Utilities of the City of Vernon, California, as of
June 30, 2021, and the changes in its financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the Vernon
Public Utilities and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City of
Vernon, California as of June 30, 2021, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
managements discussion and analysis, schedule of proportionate share of the Citys net pension
liability, schedule of plan contributions, schedule of proportionate share of the Citys net OPEB liability,
and schedule of OPEB contributions, identified as required supplementary information (RSI) in the
accompanying table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing
the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the VPUs financial statements. The supplementary information consisting of
combining statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements. The supplementary information is the responsibility of management and
was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing
and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
City of Vernon, California
(3)
The introduction section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on
them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
March 3, 2022, on our consideration of the Citys internal control over the financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Citys internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the Citys internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2021
(4)
The management of the Vernon Public Utilities (VPU), the electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utilities of the
City of Vernon (the City), offers the following overview and analysis of the basic financial statements of the
VPU for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Management encourages readers to utilize information in the
Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) in conjunction with the accompanying basic financial
statements.
OVERVIEW OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The MD&A is intended to serve as an introduction to the VPUs basic financial statements. Included as part
of the financial statements are three separate statements.
The statement of net position presents information on the VPUs total assets and deferred outflows of
resources and total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported
as net position.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position presents information showing how the
VPU's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Financial results are recorded using the
accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, all changes in net position are reported as soon as the
underlying events occur, regardless of the timing of cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses reported in
this statement for some items may affect cash flows in a future fiscal period (examples include billed but
uncollected revenues and employee earned but unused vacation leave).
The statement of cash flows reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash and cash
equivalents from operations, noncapital financing, capital, and related financing, and investing activities.
The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to fully understand
the data provided in the financial statements.

(6)
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the VPU exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $147,405,505 (net position).
The category of the VPUs net position with the largest balance totaling $148,442,763 represents resources
that are invested in capital assets, net of related debt.
The second category restricted for debt services totaling $23,894,665 represents resources that are subject
to external restrictions on how they can be used, in this case bond debt.
The remaining category of net position, totaling $(24,931,923) represents a deficit in unrestricted net position
that is expected to be recovered from the VPUs future revenues.
Activities, net position:
Current and other assets decreased $18,721,629 from the prior year mainly due to a decrease in
prepaid natural gas of $25,646,420 and in advances to other City funds of $2,270,995 offset by an
increase in cash and cash equivalents of $8,825,552.
Restricted assets decreased by $10,182,607 from the prior year mainly due to the drawdowns funding
the capital improvement projects.
Capital assets increased $8,194,386 from the prior year mainly due to acquisitions of new equipment
and facility improvements of $17.7 million, offset by depreciation of $9,486,682 (See Note 5).
Deferred outflows of resources decreased by $1,081,147 due to a decrease in amortization of deferred
bond refunding costs by $3,509,672 offset by an increase in deferred outflow related to pension of
$2,353,572.
Current liabilities decreased $1,978,274 mainly due to a decrease in bonds payable by $4,305,000 offset
by an increase in accounts payable of $1,995,320 and bond interest payable $160,140.
Long-term liabilities decreased by $20,273,883 from the prior year mainly due to bonds payable of
$29,520,000 (see Note 6) and partially offset by an increase in net pension liability (see Note 8).
Deferred inflows of resources decreased by $3,557,293 mainly due to the amortization of deferred gain
from sale of generation assets by $3,687,769.
Net investment in capital assets decreased by $11,290,729 from the prior year, which is attributable to
the increase in capital assets, net of capital bonds payable and use of restricted bond proceeds for
construction of capital assets.
The unrestricted net deficit decreased by $15,346,659 from the prior year due primarily to an increase in
the change in net position by $4,018,453 and the decrease in net investment in capital assets by
$11,290,729.

The VPUs income before transfers of $28,031,391, less allocations to the City of $4,781,720, resulted
in an increase in net position of $4,018,453 during the current year. The VPU expects to eliminate the
deficit balance in unrestricted net position through future rate increases, cost reductions, and revenues
from renewable energy projects.
The VPUs activities increased net position by $4,018,453 which is $1,993,312 lower than the prior year.
The key reason for this change was due to a decrease in operating income.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements present only the Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) of the
City of Vernon, California (the City), and do not present fairly the financial position and
results of the operations of the City. The VPU accounts for the independent operations and
the maintenance of the Citys electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utilities. A fund, or utility,
administered by the VPU is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing
set of accounts recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities,
segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain objectives in
accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.
For additional information regarding the City of Vernon, refer to the Citys annual financial
report.
Ordinance No. 1242, adopted May 16, 2017, requires each utility of the City to be
independent with its assets, liabilities, and equities segregated, budgeted, and accounted for
in separate funds. Ordinance No. 1240, adopted March 21, 2017, consolidates all utilities-
related services under the management of the stand-alone entity Vernon Public Utilities for
better oversight and management of the day-to-day activities of such independent utilities.
Each of the Citys utilities, namely the electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utilities, were
established by the City under and by virtue of the City Charter and the City Code enacted in
1988. Prior to July 1, 2016, the electric and gas utilities were consolidated and reported as
the Light & Power Enterprise for financial reporting purposes. Ordinance No. 1242 continues
to require each utility to be independent with its assets, liabilities, and equities segregated,
budgeted, and accounted for in separate funds, while Ordinance No. 1240 enables the
consolidated financial reporting of those independent utilities for better oversight and
management.
The financial statements of the VPU have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The VPUs significant accounting policies are
described below.
A. Basis of Presentation
The VPUs financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when
the related cash flows take place.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The VPU distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the sale of electricity, gas, and water. Exchange transactions are those
in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating
revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange
transactions or ancillary activities. Operating expenses include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses.
B. Pooled Cash
Part of the VPUs operating cash balance is pooled with other City funds for deposit
purposes. The share of each fund in the pooled cash account is recorded in each of the
funds books of accounts, and interest income is apportioned to the participating funds
based on the relationship of their average monthly balances to the total of the pooled
cash.
C. Cash Deposits and Investments
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the VPU considers all highly liquid
investments (including restricted cash and investments) with an original maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investment transactions are
recorded on the settlement date. Investments in nonparticipating interest-earning
investment contracts are reported at cost and all other investments are reported at fair
value. Fair value is defined as the amount that the VPU could reasonably expect to
receive for an investment in a current sale between a willing buyer and a seller and is
generally measured by quoted market prices.
D. Receivables/Payables
Short-term City interfund receivables and payables are classified as due from other City
funds and due to other City funds, respectively, on the statement of net position. Long-
term City interfund receivables and payables are classified as advances to/from other
City funds, respectively, on the statement of net position.
Trade receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Allowances
for uncollectible accounts were $1,072,323 as of June 30, 2021. Utility customers are
billed monthly. The estimated value of services provided, but unbilled at year-end has
been included in the accompanying statement of net position.

E. Prepaid Items
The VPU entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of natural gas in 2006
with Citigroup Energy Inc. for a specified quantity of gas to be delivered to the VPU in
accordance with the terms of the agreement. As full compensation for the total contract
quantity to be delivered, VPU made a prepayment which is amortized over the life of the
agreement based on the monthly contract quantities to be delivered. The agreement was
in effect until May 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the prepayment was fully amortized.
The VPU also made a prepayment to Southern California Public Power Authority
(SCPPA) for the VPUs share of SCPPAs payoff of the Hoover Center and Air Slots
debt. This prepaid amount is amortized over the life of the debt based on the annual
debt service obligations. See Note 10 for further information regarding SCPPA.
F. Deposits
The VPU has deposits in SCPPAs Project Stabilization Fund for use within SCPPAs
project purposes at the VPUs discretion. At June 30, 2021, the amount of deposits
totaled $1,081,094.
G. Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at historical cost or at estimated
historical cost if the actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are
recorded at their estimated acquisition value at the date contributed. Capital assets
include land, intangible assets, construction in progress, and plant assets including
building, improvements, and machinery and equipment. The capitalization threshold for
all capital assets is $5,000. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with an indefinite
useful life are not amortized but are evaluated annually for any impairment.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Utility Plant 3 to 50 Years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and
major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend
useful lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in
net position.

H. Compensated Absences
Accumulated vacation is accrued when incurred. Upon termination of employment, the
VPU will pay the employee all accumulated vacation leave at 100% of the employees
base hourly rate.
I. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The VPU recognizes deferred outflows and inflows of resources. A deferred outflow of
resource is defined as consumption of net position by the VPU that is applicable to a
future reporting period. A deferred inflow of resources is defined as an acquisition of net
position by the VPU that is applicable to a future reporting period. On June 30, 2021, the
VPU has deferred outflows of resources representing deferred amounts on bond
refunding, pension-related transactions, and other postemployment benefit-related
transactions, and deferred inflows of resources representing the deferred gain from the
sale of generation assets, pension-related transactions, and other postemployment
benefit-related transactions.
J. Long-Term Obligations
Bond discounts and premiums and deferred amounts on refunding are amortized over
the life of the bonds using the straight-line method.
K. Net Position
The VPU financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is
categorized as invested in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted and
unrestricted.
Net Investment in Capital Assets This category groups all capital assets into
one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding
balances of liabilities that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or
improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted Net Position This category presents external restrictions imposed
by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments
and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position This category represents net position of the VPU
not restricted for any project or other purpose.
The VPUs policy regarding whether to first apply restricted or unrestricted resources
when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net
position are available is to use restricted resources first.

L. Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts
and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
M. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of
resources related to pensions and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net
position of the Citys California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) plan
and additions to/deductions from the Pension Plans fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose,
benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair
value.
N. Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense information about
the fiduciary net position of the Citys OPEB Plan and additions to/deductions from the
OPEB Plans fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by the OPEB Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit
payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.

Equity in the Cash Pool of the City of Vernon
The VPU has equity in the cash pool managed by the City. The VPU is a voluntary
participant in that pool and the pool is governed by and under the regulatory oversight of the
Investment Policy adopted by the City Council of the City. The VPU has not adopted an
investment policy separate from that of the City. The amount of the VPUs cash in this pool
is reported in the accompanying financial statements based upon the VPUs pro rata share
of the amount calculated by the City. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the
accounting records maintained by the City.
The Citys Investment Policy
The Citys Investment Policy sets forth the investment guidelines for all funds of the City.
The Investment Policy conforms to the California Government Code Section 53600 et. seq.
The authority to manage the Citys investment program is derived from the City Council.
Pursuant to Section 53607 of the California Government Code, the City Council annually,
appoints the City Treasurer to manage the Citys investment program and approves the
Citys investment policy. The Treasurer is authorized to delegate this authority as deemed
appropriate. No person may engage in investment transactions except as provided under
the terms of the Investment Policy and the procedures established by the Treasurer.
This Investment Policy requires that the investments be made with the prudent person
standard, that is, when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or
managing public funds, the trustee (Treasurer and staff) will act with care, skill, prudence,
and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including but not limited to, the
general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City.
The Investment Policy also requires that when following the investing actions cited above,
the primary objective of the trustee be to safeguard the principal, secondarily meet the
liquidity needs of depositors, and then achieve a return on the funds under the trustees
control. Further, the intent of the Investment Policy is to minimize the risk of loss on the
Citys held investments from:
A. Credit risk
B. Custodial credit risk
C. Concentration of credit risk
D. Interest rate risk

Disclosure Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City
manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter-term
and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of
the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to
provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The City has no specific limitations
with respect to this metric. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the VPUs
investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations
is provided in the following table that shows the distribution of the VPUs investments by
maturity:
Investment Maturities
Fair Value (in Months)

Total investments 113,911,931$ 113,911,931$ -$ -$
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by
the California Government Code, the Citys Investment Policy, or debt agreements, and the
actual rating as of the year-end for each investment type.

Money Market Mutual Funds Aaa / AAA Aaa / AAA 113,278,425
Total investments 113,911,931$
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Citys Investment Policy places no limit on the amount the City may invest in any one
issuer excluding a 10% limitation on commercial paper, mutual funds, and money market
mutual funds and a 30% limitation on bankers acceptances. The Citys Investment Policy
also places no limit on the amount of debt proceeds held by the bond trustee that the trustee
may invest in one issuer that is governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City,
rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the Citys
Investment Policy. As of June 30, 2021, there were no investments held by the VPU that
exceeded 5% in any one issuer, excluding money market mutual funds.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and
the Citys Investment Policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the
exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments. Under the California
Government Code, a financial institution is required to secure deposits, in excess of the
FDIC insurance amount of $250,000, made by state or local governmental units by pledging
government securities held in the form of an undivided collateral pool. The market value of
the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount
deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure
City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the
secured public deposits. Such collateral is held by the pledging financial institutions trust
department or agent in the Citys name.
At June 30, 2021, all of the VPUs deposits were insured or collateralized as required by
Section 53652 of the California Government Code.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
The VPU also maintained cash balances with the state of California Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF is an external investment pool sponsored by the state of
California. The administration of LAIF is provided by the California State Treasurer and
regulatory oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board and the Local
Investment Advisory Board. The value of the pool shares in LAIF, which may be withdrawn,
is determined on an amortized cost basis, which is different than the fair value of VPUs
position in the pool.
Fair Value Measurement
The VPU categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs
used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
that the government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable
for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The VPUs investments in money market mutual funds and LAIF are not subject to
categorization in the fair value hierarchy.

Advances to Other City Funds - June 30, 2021 2,117,993$
The advances between the other City funds and the VPU does not accrue interest due to
the nature of the Citys operational relationship and capital projects funded by the VPU that
benefits both. On November 6, 2012, the City adopted Resolution No. 2012-215 extending
the repayment term of the loan to the City from 15 months to a period of over 10 years.
The Citys General Fund allocates certain administrative and overhead costs to the VPU
which the VPU financial statements include as part of the cost of sales. The allocated costs
for the year ended June 30, 2021, were $3,738,862.
Transfers from (to) City
The VPUs electric retail rates are established by the City Council and are not subject to
regulation by the California Public Utility Commission or any other state agency. The retail
rates include a 3% surcharge for payments in lieu of franchise tax to the Citys General
Fund. For the current year, the VPU transferred to the Citys General Fund $4,781,720 in
lieu of franchise tax. This amount is reported in the accompanying financial statements as
part of operating expenses.
Under the City Charter and the VPUs electric revenue bond indentures, the VPUs electric
utility is allowed to transfer up to 11.5% of its retail sales after meeting debt service
obligations and certain debt coverage ratios. However, no additional transfers were made
for the year ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE 7 RISK MANAGEMENT
The VPU is in the Citys self-insurance program as part of its policy to self-insure certain
levels of risk within separate lines of coverage to maximize cost savings.
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets, errors, and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters.
The City utilizes insurance policy(s) to transfer these risks. Each policy has either self-
insured retention or deductible, which are parts of the Citys Risk Financing Program. These
expenses are paid on a cash basis as they are incurred. There have been no significant
settlements or reductions in insurance coverage during the past three fiscal years.
Starting in Fiscal 2010, the City chose to establish Risk Financing in the General Fund,
whereby assets are set aside for claim-litigation settlements associated with the above-
mentioned risks up to their self-insured retentions or policy deductibles. Athens
Administrators Inc. is the Third-Party Administrator for the Citys workers compensation
program and they provide basic services for general liability claims and litigation.
The insurance limits for the fiscal year 2021 are as follows:
Deductible/SIR

covered by insurance, and the ultimate dispositions of such proceedings are not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the VPUs financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. Further information regarding the Citys self-insurance program may be found in the
Citys Annual Financial Report.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined
using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected
returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both
short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension
fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds asset classes, expected
compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and
the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal
returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated
for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single
equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash
flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected
rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and
adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed Real Return Real Return
Asset Years Years
Asset Class (a) Allocation 1 - 10 (b) 11+ (c)
Global Equity 50.00 % 4.80% 5.98%

(b) An expected inflation of 2.0% used for this period.
(c) An expected inflation of 2.92% used for this period.
In the CalPERS CAFR, Fixed Income is included in Global Debt Securities; Liquidity is
included in Short-term Investments; Inflation Assets are included in both Global Equity
Securities and Global Debt Securities
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions
from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based
on those assumptions, the Plans fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the
long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 9 POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (OPEB)
The other postemployment benefits (OPEB) described in the following paragraphs relate to
the Citys OPEB plan. The VPUs share of the net pension liability of the Citys OPEB Plan is
reported as a cost-sharing plan in these financial statements since the VPUs operations are
handled by City employees who are eligible to participate in the Citys OPEB plan.
Benefits Provided
Retiree medical and dental benefits are established through the Citys Fringe Benefits and
Salary Resolution as well as individual memoranda of understanding between the City and
the Citys various employee bargaining groups. Generally, the City will provide
postemployment benefit plan for the employee only to those who retire at age sixty (60) or
later with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service, up to the age of sixty-five
(65). Alternatively, employees who retire before the age of sixty (60) with twenty (20) years
of continuous uninterrupted service, will be permitted to pay their medical and dental
premium cost and upon reaching the age of sixty (60), the City will pay the premium for the
medical and dental plans until they reach the age of sixty-five (65).
Resolution 2012-217 granted specific retiree medical benefits to employees who retired
during the 2012-2013 fiscal year in order to provide an incentive for early retirement
whereby the City authorized the payment of medical and dental insurance premiums for
eligible retiring employees and their eligible dependents with at least ten (10) years of
service plus 5% for each additional full year of service above the ten (10) years of service.
Resolution 2013-06 declared that the retiree medical benefits which had not been a vested
right for employees will continue to be a nonvested right for employees who continue to be
employed by the City on or after July 1, 2013, but will be a vested right for those who retire
during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The Citys pl an is considered a substantive OPEB plan
and the City recognizes costs in accordance with GASB Statement No 45. The City may
terminate its unvested OPEB in the future.

Funding Policy and Contributions
The City has established an irrevocable OPEB trust with assets dedicated to paying future
retiree medical benefits. The City intends to contribute 100% or more of the actuarially
determined contribution for the explicit subsidy liability only. The portion of the liability due to
the implicit subsidy is not prefunded but is paid as benefits come due. For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2021, the VPUs proportionate share of contributions made was $531,940
($328,130 contributed to the OPEB trust, $144,918 paid for retiree premiums, and the
estimated implied subsidy of $58,892).
Net OPEB Liability
The Citys net OPEB liability is measured as of June 30, 2020, and the total OPEB liability
used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
June 30, 2020. A summary of the principal assumptions and methods used to determine the
total OPEB liability is shown on the next page.
Actuarial Assumptions
The valuation has been prepared on a closed group basis. Assumptions such as age-related
healthcare claims, healthcare trends, retiree participation rates, and spouse coverage, were
selected based on demonstrated plan experience and the best estimate of expected future
experience.
Explicit subsidy benefit payments by employee group were allocated based on expected
benefit payments. The following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the
measurement unless otherwise specified:
Funding Method Entry age normal level percent of pay cost method
Inflation 2.25%
Salary Increases 2.75% annual increases
Long-Term Return on Assets 6.25% net of investment expenses

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing
the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by
adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major
asset class included in the OPEB plans target asset allocation as of June 30, 2020 are
summarized in the following table:

TIPS 5.00 0.57%
Commodities 3.00 1.88%
REITs 8.00 4.43%
Total 100.00 %
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that Citys contributions will be
made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those
assumptions, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected
OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the
long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.
Change of Assumptions
Medical trend rates were updated to exclude the Affordable Care Acts Excise Tax on high-
cost health insurance plan due to its repeal.

Introduction
A message from Abraham Alemu, General Manager of Vernon Public Utilities
While the past couple of years have presented historic challenges on a global scale, the City of Vernon and
Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) have exhibited strength and resilience by continuing to provide safe, reliable and
affordable services during the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. VPU seamlessly provided the
electric, water, gas and fiber utilities to its residents and business community who are vital in manufacturing and
distributing goods throughout the region. Recently, VPU established an impressive goal of providing the lowest
electric rates in the State of California by 2030 in order to support customer competitiveness and enable
community businesses to thrive as the economic engine in Southeast Los Angeles.
In the past year, VPU has continued to complete major infrastructure upgrade projects to meet the increasing
needs of its business and industri al community many of whom manufacture essential goods and products
throughout the United States, such as cold storage, food packaging and steel production. These necessary
enhancements to the VPU infrastructure foster improvement projects, which increased reliability and help the
utility to meet system adequacy requirements, including substation equipment upgrades, automated metering,
voltage upgrades, and proactive utility pole replacement and financing initiatives. In addition, the electric
infrastructure upgrades support the utilitys Water Division Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) aimed at
creating sustainable water affordability and independence for Vernon residential and business customers. During
the past year, the Department was able to drastically reduce its need to purchase water from imported sources and
is serving water from the Citys groundwater sources, which results in significant cost savings for the utility and
to its customers.
As VPU enters its third year of a 4-year voter-approved electric rate increase, the utility will continue to use this
funding to promote programs and projects that will support increased reliability, resilience, and low rates. VPU
will also consider and analyze new technologies in an evolving energy landscape to bring renewable,
environmentally conscious programs to businesses and residents. Moving forward, VPU has wide-scale
transportation electrification plans to help advance customer adoption and play a role in the utilitys long-term
energy resources planning and deployment of green offerings.
VPU is well-positioned to maintain a strong financial performance into the long-term future and has made notable
strides towards achieving and exceeding its Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and greenhouse gas (GHG)
reduction goals. VPU is actively considering a Solar plus Energy Storage Purchase Power Agreement (PPA),
which will be the largest PPA in its portfolio. Additionally, the City recently re-acquired the Malburg Generating
Station, a 134-megawatt natural gas-fired, combined-cycle facility. With this resource back within the utilitys
ownership and operation, VPU now has the control and capability to reduce ongoing operating costs and address
the Citys long-term needs for local power generation. Both projects play a critical role in achieving the long-term
goals established in Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).
As part of the repurchase, the utilitys electric financial ratings were reassessed by Moodys and S&P. VPU
received an upgraded credit rating from Moodys and both agencies gave VPU a stable/positive outlook. This
rating upgrade is a testament, among other factors, to the utilitys commitment to foster strong management
fundamentals and maintain fiscal strength.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
City of Vernon, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Water Fund of the City of Vernon,
(Water Fund), an enterprise fund of the City of Vernon, California (City), as of June 30, 2021, and the
related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
City of Vernon, California
(2)
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the Water Fund of the City of Vernon, California, as of June 30, 2021,
and the changes in its financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the Citys
Water Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City of Vernon,
California as of June 30, 2021, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
managements discussion and analysis, schedule of proportionate share of the Citys net pension,
schedule of plan contributions, schedule of proportionate share of the Citys net OPEB liability, and
schedule of OPEB contributions, identified as required supplementary information (RSI) in the
accompanying table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing
the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on
it.
Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
City of Vernon, California

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
March 3, 2022, on our consideration of the Citys internal control over the financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Citys internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the Citys internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2021
(4)
The management of the Water Fund of the City of Vernon (the City) offers the following overview and
analysis of the basic financial statements of the Water Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
Management encourages readers to utilize information in the Managements Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) in conjunction with the accompanying basic financial statements.
OVERVIEW OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The MD&A is intended to serve as an introduction to the Water Funds basic financial statements.
Included as part of the financial statements are three separate statements.
The statement of net position presents information on the Water Funds total assets and deferred
outflows of resources and total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between
the two reported as net position.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position presents information showing how
the Water Fund's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Financial results are
recorded using the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, all changes in net position are
reported as soon as the underlying events occur, regardless of the timing of cash flows. Thus, revenues
and expenses reported in this statement for some items may affect cash flows in a future fiscal period
(examples include billed but uncollected revenues and employee earned but unused vacation leave).
The statement of cash flows reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash and cash
equivalents from operations, noncapital financing, capital and related financing, and investing activities.
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to fully understand
the data provided in the financial statements.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements present only the Water Enterprise Fund (the Water
Fund) of the City of Vernon, California (the City), and do not present fairly the financial
position and results of the operations of the City. The Water Fund accounts for the
independent operations and the maintenance of the Citys Water utility. The Water Fund is
administered as an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of
accounts recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities,
segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain objectives in
accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.
For additional information regarding the City of Vernon, refer to the Citys annual financial
report.
The financial statements of the Water Fund have been prepared in conformity with the U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The Water Funds significant
accounting policies are described below.
A. Basis of Presentation
The Water Funds financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when
the related cash flows take place.
The Water Fund distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating
items. Operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange
transactions associated with the sale of Water. Exchange transactions are those in
which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating
revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange
transactions or ancillary activities. Operating expenses include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses.
B. Pooled Cash
Part of the Water Funds operating cash balance is pooled with various other City funds
for deposit purposes. The share of each fund in the pooled cash account is recorded in
each of the funds books of accounts, and interest income is apportioned to the
participating funds based on the relationship of their average monthly balances to the
total of the pooled cash.
CITY OF VERNON
WATER FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
(14)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Cash Deposits and Investments
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Water Fund considers all highly liquid
investments (including restricted cash and investments) with an original maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investment transactions are
recorded on the settlement date. Investments in nonparticipating interest-earning
investment contracts are reported at cost and all other investments are reported at fair
value. Fair value is defined as the amount that the Water Fund could reasonably expect
to receive for an investment in a current sale between a willing buyer and a seller and is
generally measured by quoted market prices.
D. Receivables/Payables
Short-term City interfund receivables and payables are classified as due from other City
funds and due to other City funds, respectively, on the statement of net position. Long-
term City interfund receivables and payables are classified as advances to/from other
City funds, respectively, on the statement of net position.
Trade receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Allowances
for uncollectible accounts were $54,334 as of June 30, 2021. The Water Funds
customers are billed monthly. The estimated value of services provided, but unbilled at
year-end has been included in the accompanying financial statements.
E. Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at historical cost or at estimated
historical cost if the actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are
recorded at their estimated acquisition value at the date contributed. Capital assets
include land, construction in progress, and plant assets including building,
improvements, and machinery and equipment. The capitalization threshold for all capital
assets is $5,000. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated using the straight-
line method over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Utility Plant 3 to 50 Years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and
major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend

F. Compensated Absences
Accumulated vacation is accrued when incurred. Upon termination of employment, the
Water Fund will pay the employee all accumulated vacation leave at 100% of the
employees base hourly rate.
G. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The Water Fund recognizes deferred outflows and inflows of resources. A deferred
outflow of resource is defined as a consumption of net position by the Water Fund that is
applicable to a future reporting period. A deferred inflow of resources is defined as an
acquisition of net position by the Water Fund that is applicable to a future reporting
period. On June 30, 2021, the Water Fund has deferred outflows of resources
representing deferred amounts on pension-related transactions and postemployment
benefit-related transactions and deferred inflows of resources representing pension-
related transactions and postemployment benefit-related transactions.
H. Long-Term Obligations
Bond discounts and premiums are amortized over the life of the bonds using the
straight-line method.
I. Net Position
The Water Fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is
categorized as invested in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted, and
unrestricted.
Net Investment in Capital Assets This category groups all capital assets into
one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding
balances of liabilities that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or
improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted Net Position This category presents external restrictions imposed
by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments
and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation. The Water Fund does not have any restricted net position.
Unrestricted Net Invested in Capital Assets or Position This category
represents the net position of the Water Fund not restricted for any project or
other purposes.
The Water Funds policy regarding whether to first apply restricted or unrestricted
resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and
unrestricted net position are available is to use restricted resources first.

Disclosure Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City
manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter-term
and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of
the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to
provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The City has no specific limitations
with respect to this metric. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Water
Funds investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate
fluctuations is provided in the following table that shows the distribution of the Water Funds
investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by
the California Government Code, the Citys Investment Policy, or debt agreements, and the
actual rating as of the year-end for each investment type.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Citys Investment Policy places no limit on the amount the City may invest in any one
issuer excluding a 10% limitation on commercial paper, mutual funds, and money market
mutual funds and a 30% limitation on bankers acceptances. The Citys Investment Policy
also places no limit on the amount of debt proceeds held by the bond trustee that the trustee
may invest in one issuer that is governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City,
rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the Citys
Investment Policy. As of June 30, 2021, there were no investments held by the Water Fund
that exceeded 5% in any one issuer, excluding money market mutual funds.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and
the Citys Investment Policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the
exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments. Under the California
Government Code, a financial institution is required to secure deposits, in excess of the
FDIC insurance amount of $250,000, made by state or local governmental units by pledging
government securities held in the form of an undivided collateral pool. The market value of
the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount
deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure
City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the
secured public deposits. Such collateral is held by the pledging financial institutions trust
department or agent in the Citys name.
At June 30, 2021, all of the Water Funds deposits were insured or collateralized as required
by Section 53652 of the California Government Code.
Fair Value Measurement
The Water Fund categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the
valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
that the government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable
for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The Water Funds investments in money market mutual funds is not subject to
categorization in the fair value hierarchy.

Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees Retirement Law requires that the
employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by
the actuary and shall be effective on July 1 following notice of a change in the rate.
Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of
June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount
necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an
additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to
contribute to the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution
rate of employees. For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Water Funds share of
employer contributions made to the Plans was $432,119.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined
using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected
returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return (Continued)
In determining the long term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both
short term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension
fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds asset classes, expected
compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short term (first 10 years) and
the long-term (11+ years) using a building block approach. Using the expected nominal
returns for both short term and long term, the present value of benefits was calculated
for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single
equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash
flows as the one calculated using both short term and long-term returns. The expected
rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and
adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed Real Return Real Return
Asset Years Years
Asset Class (a) Allocation 1 - 10 (b) 11+ (c)
Global Equity 50.00% 4.80% 5.98%

(b) An expected inflation of 2.0% used for this period.
(c) An expected inflation of 2.92% used for this period.
In the CalPERS CAFR, Fixed Income is included in Global Debt Securities; Liquidity is
included in Short-term Investments; Inflation Assets are included in both Global Equity
Securities and Global Debt Securities.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions
from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based
on those assumptions, the Plans fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the
long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 9 OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
The other postemployment benefits (OPEB) described in the following paragraphs relate to
the Citys OPEB plan. The Water Funds share of the net pension liability of the Citys OPEB
Plan is reported as a cost-sharing plan in these financial statements since the Water Funds
operations are handled by City employees who are eligible to participate in the Citys OPEB
Plan.
Benefits Provided
Retiree medical and dental benefits are established through the Citys Fringe Benefits and
Salary Resolution as well as individual memoranda of understanding between the City and
the Citys various employee bargaining groups. Generally, the City will provide
postemployment benefit plan for the employee only to those who retire at age sixty (60) or
later with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service, up to the age of sixty-five
(65). Alternatively, employees who retire before the age of sixty (60) with twenty (20) years
of continuous uninterrupted service, will be permitted to pay their medical and dental
premium cost and upon reaching the age of sixty (60), the City will pay the premium for the
medical and dental plans until they reach the age of sixty-five (65).
Resolution 2012-217 granted specific retiree medical benefits to employees who retired
during the 2012 2013 fiscal year in order to provide an incentive for early retirement
whereby the City authorized the payment of medical and dental insurance premiums for
eligible retiring employees and their eligible dependents with at least ten (10) years of
service plus 5% for each additional full year of service above the ten (10) years of service.
Resolution 2013-06 declared that the retiree medical benefits which had not been a vested
right for employees will continue to be a nonvested right for employees who continue to be
employed by the City on or after July 1, 2013, but will be a vested right for those who retire
during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The Citys pl an is considered a substantive OPEB plan
and the City recognizes costs in accordance with GASB Statement No 75. The City may
terminate its unvested OPEB in the future.

Funding Policy and Contributions
The City has established an irrevocable OPEB trust with assets dedicated to paying future
retiree medical benefits. The City intends to contribute 100% or more of the actuarially
determined contribution for the explicit subsidy liability only. The portion of the liability due to
the implicit subsidy is not prefunded but is paid as benefits come due. For the measurement
date period June 30, 2020, the Water Funds proportionate share of contributions made was
$108,041 ($66,646 contributed to the OPEB trust, $29,434 paid for retiree premiums, and
the estimated implied subsidy of $11,961).
Net OPEB Liability
The Citys net OPEB liability is measured as of June 30, 2020, and the total OPEB liability
used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
June 30, 2020. A summary of the principal assumptions and methods used to determine the
total OPEB liability is shown on the next page.
Actuarial Assumptions
The valuation has been prepared on a closed group basis. Assumptions such as age-related
healthcare claims, healthcare trends, retiree participation rates, and spouse coverage, were
selected based on demonstrated plan experience and the best estimate of expected future
experience.
Explicit subsidy benefit payments by employee group were allocated based on expected
benefit payments. The following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the
measurement unless otherwise specified:
Funding Method: Entry age normal level percent of pay cost method
Inflation: 2.25%
Salary Increases: 2.75% annual increases
Long-Term Return on Assets: 6.25% net of investment expenses
Discount Rate: 6.25%
Healthcare Cost Trend Rates: 6.7% for FY2021, gradually decreasing over several
decades to ultimate rate of 3.8% in FY76 and later
years
Mortality: 2017 CalPERS Experience Study. Tables include

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing
the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by
adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major
asset class included in the OPEB plans target asset allocation as of June 30, 2020 are
summarized in the following table:
Long-Term

TIPS 5.00 0.57%
Commodities 3.00 1.88%
REITs 8.00 4.43%
Total 100.00%
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that Citys contributions will be
made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those
assumptions, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected
OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the
long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.
Change of Assumptions
Medical trend rates were updated to exclude the Affordable Care Acts Excise Tax on high-
cost health insurance plan due to its repeal.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT
Right of Way Agreements for the Atlantic Bridge Improvement Project
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301,
because the project consists of the minor alteration of existing facilities and involves
negligible or no expansion of an existing use;
B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Possession and Use
Agreement with Magellan Atlantic I, LLC, in substantially the same form as submitted,
for portions of 3030 Atlantic and deposit an amount of $453,000 in escrow, and authorize
the Mayor to execute related Certificates of Acceptance for certain easements;
C. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Fixtures/Equipment
Agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor, in substantially the same form as submitted, for
the removal of a billboard located at 5122 S. Atlantic Blvd for an amount of $34,405; and
D. Approve and Authorize the City Administrator to execute a Document Approval Letter
with Los Angeles County Flood Control District, in substantially the same form as
submitted, for the permanent easements and temporary construction easements over
Los Angeles Rivers Parcels for an amount of $1,431,762, and authorize the Mayor to
execute related Certificates of Acceptance for certain easements.
Background:
Constructed in 1931, an average of over 55,000 cars and trucks cross the Atlantic Street
Bridge over the Los Angeles River each day. Atlantic Boulevard is a vital artery serving not
only the City of Vernon but also also as a gateway to the southeast community. Due to the
narrow pedestrian walkway and traffic lanes, the bridge is inadequate for projected traffic
volumes of vehicles and trucks, and is a bottleneck creating traffic congestion. In addition to
widening the bridge, the Atlantic Bridge Improvement Project (Project) widens the roadway
bridge approaches, and improves traffic signals and railroad warning devices.
The Project requires permanent street easements, temporary construction easements, and
the removal of a billboard from the properties along Atlantic Boulevard. In accordance with
Caltrans reimbursement requirements, the payments being made for the property interests
being acquired are based on third party appraisals. There is a disagreement about the value of
the portions of 3030 Atlantic being acquired from Magellan Atlantic I, LLC; however, the
possession and use agreement will allow the Project to move forward while the parties come
to a consensus on the value of the property being acquired for this project.
Fiscal Impact:
The combined cost for Right of Way Agreements for the Atlantic Bridge Improvement Project
is $1,919,167. Sufficient funds for Right of Way Agreements for the Atlantic Bridge
Improvement Project are available in Capital Expenditures, Street Operations Division
Account No. 011-2043-900000.

Angeles River
APN: 6314-033-003 and -005
AGREEMENT FOR POSSESSION AND USE
THIS AGREEMENT FOR POSSESSION AND USE (“Agreement”) is executed as of this
____ day of __________, 2022, by and between City of Vernon, a California charter City and
California municipal corporation (City) and Magellan Atlantic I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (Owner).
RECITALS
A. Owner is the owner of property located at 3030 South Atlantic Blvd., Vernon, Los
Angeles County Assessor Parcel No.: 6314-033-003 and -005 (“Original Parcel”).
B. The City is responsible for infrastructure planning and improvements within the
City, including acquisition of real property and construction in connection with the Rehabilitation
of Atlantic Boulevard Bridge over the Los Angeles River Project (“Project”).
C. The City has notified the Owner that the City requires possession of a portion of
the Original Parcel in connection with the Project. The City desires to purchase portions of or
interests in the Original Parcel from Owner, as follows: (i) A permanent utility easement, as more
particularly described in the Utility Easement Deed attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (“PUE”); and
(ii) A temporary construction easement, as more particularly described in the Temporary
Construction Easement Deed attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (“TCE”). All of the foregoing interests
are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Property.” The Property is required for the Project.
The PUE and TCE are collectively referred to as the “Easements.”
D. The purpose of this Agreement is to allow the City to take immediate possession
of the Property in order to proceed with construction of the Project without delay. This Agreement
is therefore made in the interest of time and with the understanding that the City will continue to
negotiate in good faith with Owner to acquire the Property by direct purchase at fair market
value. It is understood that this Agreement is entered under threat of condemnation. Based on
the foregoing facts and circumstances, the City and Owner agree as follows:
1. Immediate Possession and Use. Owner hereby irrevocably grants to the City, its
contractors, agents, and all others deemed necessary by the City , the irrevocable right of
possession and use of the PUE and the temporary right to possession and use of the TCE,
including reasonably necessary incidental rights limited to the right to remove and dispose of
improvements located on the Property. Should the City remove any improvements, including
pavement, within the TCE, then upon completion of its construction within the TCE, the City shall
restore the TCE as nearly as practicable and commercially reasonable to its condition at the time
the City took possession of it pursuant to this Agreement. The City agrees to maintain vehicular
access to the Original Parcel at all times during the construction period notwithstanding any
language to the contrary, if any, contained in the PUE and TCE. In consideration for the foregoing
{00210238.1 }2
grant of possession and use, the City will tender into the Escrow (defined below) the sum of Four
Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand Dollars ($453,000.00) (“Deposit”) as the City’s determination of
the fair market valuation of the Property. The City shall have the right to take possession of the
Property on the date the Deposit is paid into Escrow; provided, however, that the City will exercise
such right of possession upon not less than five (5) business days prior written notice to Owner.
Owner acknowledges that the Deposit represents the full amount of the City-approved appraisal
of what is reasonably believed by the City to be just compensation owed for the acquisition of
the Property. Owner waives any right to challenge The City’s right to possess and use the
Property in any subsequent eminent domain proceeding filed by the City involving the Original
Parcel.
2.Escrow. The transaction described in Section 1 above will be administered through
an escrow with Commonwealth Land Title Company, through its Newport Beach, California office,
with Grace U. Kim as the Escrow Officer (“Escrow” and “Escrow Holder”). The City shall pay
all escrow and title fees payable with respect to this transaction. This Agreement will constitute
instructions to Escrow Holder with respect to the holding, investment and disbursement of the
Deposit and other funds and documents described herein, supplemented by such “general
provisions” or supplemental instructions as Escrow Holder may deem necessary or appropriate.
In the event of any discrepancy between such supplemental instructions and this Agreement, the
terms and provisions of this Agreement will govern. The Escrow shall remain open until a
settlement is reached, this Agreement is terminated or a final order of condemnation under
Section 1268.030 of the California Code of Civil Procedure is entered by a court with proper
jurisdiction.
3.Disbursement of Deposit. Owner shall be entitled to disbursement of the Deposit.
Owner represents that no deed of trust or other monetary lien affects the Property.
4.No Conveyance or Further Encumbrance. Following the date of this Agreement
and until the Easements are recorded, Owner shall not voluntarily assign, sell, encumber or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Original Parcel without first obtaining the written
consent of the City, which the City may grant or withhold in its sole discretion.
5.Good Faith Negotiations. The City and Owner will continue to negotiate in good
faith for the acquisition by the City of the Property by direct purchase at fair market value. If a
settlement is not reached within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of this
Agreement, such failure will be an acknowledgment that such negotiations have not been
successful. As of such date, the City shall begin timely preparations for the filing of a complaint
in eminent domain to acquire the Property. If the City begins proceedings in eminent domain, it
is understood and agreed that this Agreement shall continue in effect until either a settlement is
reached or a final order of condemnation under Section 1268.030 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure is entered by a court with proper jurisdiction.
6.Right to Appear and Be Heard. Section 1245.235 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure requires the City and the City’s governing body to give each person whose property is
to be acquired by eminent domain notice and a reasonable opportunity to appear before the City’s
governing body and be heard on the matters referred to in Section 1240.030 of the California
Code of Civil Procedure, which provides:
{00210238.1 }3
“The power of eminent domain may be exercised to acquire
property for a proposed project only if all of the following are
established:
(1) The public interest and necessity require the project.
(2) The project is planned or located in the manner that
will be most compatible with the greatest public
good and the least private injury.
(3) The property sought to be acquired is necessary for
the project.
(4) The offer required by Section 7267.2 of the
Government Code has been made to the Owner or
others of record. (If an offer has not been made, an
appraisal will be prepared as soon as practicable and
an offer made of the full amount of such appraisal.)”
7.No “Right to Take” Challenge. By granting to the City the right to possess and use
the Property as described in Section 1 above, Owner agrees to the following: (i) Owner specifically
waives the notice required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 of the hearing
of the matter referred to in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.030 and the adoption
of the resolution of necessity by the City’s governing body authorizing the taking of the Property;
(ii) Owner shall not object to the filing of an eminent domain proceeding to acquire the Property;
and (iii) in any eminent domain action filed by the City to acquire the Property, Owner shall not
challenge the City’s right to take the Property, and the only issue shall be the amount of just
compensation at fair market value for the Property, provided this Agreement is in effect at the
time the City exercises its right to take.
8.Waiver of Claims Other Than Greater Compensation. Owner expressly waives all
claims and defenses in its favor in any subsequent eminent domain proceeding related to this
Agreement except a claim for greater compensation. In the event proceedings in eminent domain
are begun, the date of valuation for determining the amount of just compensation for the Property
shall be the date on which the City files the complaint in said proceeding. The City shall not take
the position in the eminent domain proceeding that the just compensation due for the Property
is less than the amount deposited pursuant to this Agreement.
9.Interest On Deposited Funds. Compensation awarded in an eminent domain
proceeding shall draw interest as prescribed at the apportionment rate calculated by the State
Controller as the rate of earnings by the Surplus Money Investment Fund for each three-month
period. Owner shall be entitled to receive interest on any sum received as compensation for its
interest in the Property, whether pursuant to this Agreement, a subsequent settlement or court
judgment, beginning on the date the City is authorized to take possession of the Property
pursuant to this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the date the amount placed into the
Escrow by the City is paid to the Owner; or (b) the date the amount is deposited with the court
as the award in a judgment in condemnation.
{00210238.1 }4
10.Abandonment. Following commencement of a proceeding in eminent domain, the
City reserves the right to abandon the proceeding in whole or in part; provided, however, that
the City shall still be liable for all expenses and costs including but not limited to all legal expenses
and fees as permitted under the Code of Civil Procedure, including Code of Civil Procedure section
1268.610, of Owner related to or arising from this Agreement and any proceeding in eminent
domain.
11.Hazardous Materials. The City covenants and agrees that in its activities upon the
Property pursuant to this Agreement, the City, its agents, representatives, contractors and
subcontractors will not cause the release of any Hazardous Materials upon the Property.
12.Close of Escrow. If Owner and the City are able to reach agreement regarding the
valuation of the Property, Owner and the City will provide to Escrow Holder an amendment or
supplement to this Agreement, setting forth such additional provisions as may have been agreed
upon and instructing Escrow Holder with respect to the disbursement of remaining or additional
funds to Owner, the recording of the Easements, distribution of any additional documents and
similar matters.
13.Insurance and Indemnity. During any period between exercise by the City of its
right of possession and recording of the Easements, the City shall name Owner as an additional
insured with respect to public liability insurance coverage (or shall cause the City’s contractors to
do so) and shall defend, indemnify and hold Owner free and harmless from and against any and
all claims, damages and liabilities associated with the City’s possession and use of the Property
prior to such recording.
14.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall also extend to and bind the
devisees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties
hereto.
15.Memorandum. Within seven (7) days following execution of this Agreement by
both parties, Owner and the City shall execute, acknowledge and provide to Escrow Holder a
memorandum of this Agreement, in the same form as that attached hereto as Exhibit “C”
(“Memorandum”). On the next business day following receipt by Escrow Holder of the Deposit
from the City, Escrow Holder will cause the Memorandum to be recorded in the records of Los
Angeles County, California. Upon recording of the Easement documents, the City will execute
and cause to be recorded a release or quitclaim sufficient to remove the Memorandum as an
encumbrance affecting the remainder of the Original Parcel.
16.Attorney Fees. Should legal action be required in order to construe or enforce any
provision of this Agreement, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and litigation
expenses, including any costs of appeal, except as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure
section 1250.410.
17.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts.
Each shall be deemed an original and all, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
18.Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder shall be
governed by California law.
{00210238.1 } 5
19. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all terms and provisions
of this Agreement.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Jessica Alcaraz
Submitting Department: Finance/Treasury
Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT
Professional Service Agreement with GovInvest Inc. for Actuarial Consulting and Technology
Services
Recommendation:
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Professional Services Agreement
with GovInvest Inc., in substantially the same form as submitted, for actuarial consulting and
technology services for a total amount not-to-exceed $116,600, for a three-year term.
Background:
On July 26, 2018, the actuarial consulting firm GovInvest Inc. (GovInvest) met with the City
Administrator and staff to present sole source software solutions for California government
agencies in the areas of employee labor and benefit costs and pension liability modeling.
GovInvest specializes in analytical software that empowers government agencies to
proactively manage their labor negotiation costs, pension, other Post-Employment Benefits
(OPEB), and bonded debt liabilities.
On October 4, 2018, the City Administrator approved and signed a three-year software license
agreement with GovInvest for the use of Govlnvest's Standard Pension Module and OPEB
Module of Total Liability Calculator. Since then, the Finance Department has utilized this
software to analyze labor and benefit costs during labor negotiations and to analyze the City's
pension and OPEB liabilities.
The contract expired on October 18, 2021 and staff requests approval for a new license
agreement with Govlnvest. Due to favorable market conditions, the City has an opportunity to
reduce the City’s unfunded pension liabilities cost by issuing pension obligation bonds at a low
interest rate and GovInvest’s Pension Obligation Bond Module would provide the necessary
tools to continue evaluating this opportunity. This module would help develop alternative
funding approaches for current and future pension and/or OPEB debt and analyze the benefit
and risks associated with issuing bonds to refinance pension and/or OPEB debt.
Additionally, GovInvest has developed proprietary software that will incorporate with the City's
employee-specific data for both OPEB and pension benefits. The software will allow
management to project and measure the impact on OPEB and Pension costs for multiple
scenarios, including but not limited to, changes in actuarial estimates, bargaining unit
negotiations impacts, and the issuance of appropriate Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) 75 reports required to measure the OPEB liability in the City's financial
statements, also known as the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). The software
will assist City staff in making recommendations to Council, refining policies, and presenting
post-employment benefit information in meaningful, easily understood charts and graphs.
Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.110 (A)(2), the proposed Licensing
Agreement with Govlnvest is exempt from competitive bidding since the modules are
proprietary software that are only available through the Consultant. The proposed agreement
has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact:
The total fiscal impact of the proposed agreement is $116,600 over three years. Sufficient
funds for actuarial consulting and technology services are available in the Professional
Services - Technical account in the Finance Department, Electric Fund and Water Fund for FY
2021-22 and will be budgeted accordingly in the FY2022-23 and FY 2023-24 budgets.

Receiving Party or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing
Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (d) was
independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party or
(e) is required to be disclosed by law. The Receiving Party acknowledges that in the event of a
breach of Section 3.1 by the Receiving Party, substantial injury could result to the Disclosing
Party and money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for such breach. Therefore, in the event
that the Receiving Party engages in, or threatens to engage in, any act which violates Section 3.1,
the Disclosing Party will be entitled, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to it
under law, to seek injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders, or
preliminary or permanent injunctions) and specific enforcement of the terms of Section 3.1. The
Disclosing Party will not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with the
granting of any such relief.
3.2 Company shall own and retain all rights, title and interest in and to: (i) the Services and Software,

information, and reports (“Analytics”) and (iv) all intellectual property rights related to any of the
foregoing. Company hereby grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-
sublicensable license to access and use the Analytics.
3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Company shall have the right to collect and analyze
data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the
Services and related systems and technologies (including, without limitation, information
concerning Customer Data and data derived therefrom), and Company will be free (during and
after the term hereof) to: (i) use such information and data to improve and enhance the Services
and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Services

form in connection with its business, and (iii) disclose, share, license, or resell Analytics to third
parties for consideration. No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly set forth herein.

4.1 Customer will pay Company the then applicable fees described in the Summary of Services and
Implementation in accordance with the terms therein (the “Fees”). If Customer’s use of the
Services exceeds the Service Capacity set forth in the Summary of Services and Implementation
or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Customer
shall be billed for such usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner
provided herein. Company reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to
institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Term or then current Renewal Term, upon

after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in
order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Company’s customer
support department.
4.2 Company may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued
in any given month must be received by Company thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the
invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 5% per month on any outstanding
balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection
and may result in immediate termination of Service. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes
associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company’s net income.
4.3 Services may be provided outside the scope encompassed within the “Summary of Services and
Implementation”. Said services may be subject to additional fees, which are set at $600/hour for
executive-level work, $425/hour for FSA-level work, $300/hour for ASA-level work, $200/hour
for analyst work, and reasonable travel expenses. Said services that are subject to additional fees

5.2 In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may terminate this Agreement upon
thirty (30) days written notice (or without notice in the case of nonpayment), if the other party
materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Customer will pay in full
for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided. All sections
of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination,
including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty
disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
6. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
Company shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain
the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall
perform the Implementation Services in a professional and workmanlike manner as expressed in
Exhibit C. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for
unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Company or by third-party providers, or because
of other causes beyond Company’s reasonable control, but Company shall use reasonable efforts
to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. However,
Company does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error free; nor does it make
any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from use of the Services. EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, THE SERVICES, THE ANALYTICS, AND
IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND COMPANY DISCLAIMS
ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
7. INDEMNITY
Company shall hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement
by the Service of any United States patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade
secret, provided Company is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings
related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over
defense and settlement; Company will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in
writing. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the
Service (i) not supplied by Company, (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance with Customer
specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery by Company, (iv) combined with other
products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v)
where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being
informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where
Customer’s use of the Service is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement. If, due to a claim
of infringement, the Services are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by
Company to be infringing, Company may, at its option and expense (a) replace or modify the
Service to be non-infringing provided that such modification or replacement contains
substantially similar features and functionality, (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue
using the Service, or (c) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this
Agreement and Customer’s rights hereunder and provide Customer a refund of any prepaid,
unused fees for the Service.

understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements,
communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and all

EXHIBIT A
Service Level Terms
The Services shall be available 99% of the time, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends
and scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or
downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting
from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control will also
be excluded from any such calculation. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Company's entire
liability, in connection with Service availability shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer
than 12 hours, Company will credit Customer 1% of Service Fees for each period of 30 or more
consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day.
Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to Company) recognizes that downtime
is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive
downtime credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 12 hours from the time of down time,
and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not
be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service
Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. Company will only apply a credit to the month in which
the incident occurred. Company’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with
its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this
Agreement.

Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT
Amendment No. 2 Janitorial Services Agreement with Priority Building Services
Recommendation:
A. Find that the approval of the proposed amendment is exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, as it is an administrative activity that will not
result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore is not a
“project” as defined by Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines; and
B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 2 to Services
Agreement with Priority Building Services, LLC, in substantially the same form as
submitted, for janitorial services, changing the contract total from $398,307 to
$436,006.30.
Background:
The City's three-year services agreement with Priority Building Services, LLC (Priority) for
janitorial services recently expired on December 30, 2021. Over the course of the three-year
contract there have been authorized expenses for the cleaning of City facilities not originally
contemplated in the original agreement. The Public Works Department is currently processing
the contract’s final invoice for payment and has determined that the contract's total remaining
balance is insufficient to cover the final invoices for services rendered.
The Public Works Department is requesting that $37,699.30 be added to the Agreement to
cover the remaining balance. Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 2, Article IV, Sec.
2.17.02(B), City Council approval is required for this Agreement since the City has paid or
awarded the contractor more than $100,000 in the twelve months preceding the proposed
amendment.
All other terms and conditions of the original contract would remain unchanged. The proposed
Amendment No. 2 has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney's Office.
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient funds for Amendment No. 2 Janitorial Services Agreement with Priority Building
Services are available in Repairs & Maintenance, City Buildings Division Account No.

Vernon, a California charter city and municipal corporation (the “City”), and Priority Building
Services, LLC (“Contractor”), a California limited liability company.
WHEREAS, the City and Contractor are parties to a written Agreement, dated October 1,

30, 2021 (Renewal Term), for a total amount not to exceed $30,639.00; and
WHEREAS, the City and Contractor desire to amend the Agreement to add an additional
$37,699.30 to cover additional expenses incurred through the Renewal Term.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Amendment No. 2 agree as follows:
1. Contractor’s grand total consideration for the Renewal Term, shall not exceed the
amount of Sixty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Eight Dollars and Thirty Cents
($68,338.30), without prior City Council approval and written amendment of the Agreement.
2. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment No. 2, all provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
3. The provisions of this Amendment No. 2 shall constitute the entire agreement of
the parties with respect to the subject matter included in this Amendment No. 2 and shall
supersede any other agreement, understanding, or arrangement, whether written or oral, between
the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment No. 2.
4. The person or persons executing this Amendment No. 2 on behalf of each of the
parties warrants and represents that he or she has the authority to execute this Amendment No. 2
on behalf of that party and has the authority to bind that party to the performance of its
obligations hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Amendment No. 2 as of the date
stated in the introductory clause.

Supplemental to Purchase Contract No. CS-1363 with Mega Renovation, Inc. for the Remodel
of 4328 Furlong Place
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because the
project consists of the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of an existing facility and
involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use; and
B. Approve and authorize the issuance of a Supplemental to Purchase Contract No. CS-
1363 with Mega Renovations, Inc. for the Remodel of City-Owned Residential Property
Located at 4328 Furlong Place for an amount not to exceed $19,283.95.
Background:
On June 15, 2021, City Council approved a contract with Mega Renovation, Inc. for the
remodel of City-owned property located at 4328 Furlong Place. The renovations were
completed as of August 2021. Initially, the Public Works Department estimated the total cost of
this project would not exceed $50,000 and diligently solicited quotes for the subject work as
required by Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.030 (B).
Based on the Department's estimate, Purchase Contract CS-1363 with Mega Renovation, Inc.
was issued in the amount of $50,000. However, due to the sharp and unexpected increase in
the cost of materials in 2021, the total cost of the remodel project was higher than anticipated
at $69,283.95. The Department is now requesting a Supplemental for the remaining
$19,283.95 owed to Mega Renovation, Inc. for the work completed at the City-owned
residential property located at 4328 Furlong Place.
Pursuant to VMC Section 3.32.030 (B), City Council approval is required for the Supplemental
since the City has paid or awarded the contractor more than $100,000 in the twelve months
preceding the proposed amendment for other work also awarded based on competitive quotes
received. Staff recommends that $19,283.95 be added to Purchase Contract CS-1363 with
Mega Renovation, Inc. increasing the total not to exceed amount of the contract to $69,283.95
to cover the expenses incurred for the renovations completed.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this request for a Supplemental to Contract No. CS-1363 is $19,283.95.
The total fiscal impact of the remodel of 4328 Furlong Place is $69,283.95. Sufficient funds for
total cost of the remodel, including the supplemental amount requested, are available in the
Capital Outlay, City Housing Division Account No. 011.1048.590000 for Fiscal Year 2021-
2022.

Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Mid-Year Financial Update
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is a government fiscal activity that will not result in
direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute
a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-05 approving Mid-Year Budget Appropriations and amending
the Annual Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Background:
Finance Department will provide a briefing to the City Council to report budget to actuals for
the General Fund and Vernon Public Utilities on the first six months of Fiscal Year 2021-22
and the economic outlook for the near to mid-term.
General Fund
Revenue Trends and Highlights
Most revenue categories are expected to be consistent with projections. However, some
revenue categories, such as property and parcel taxes, are primarily collected in the second
half of the fiscal year per the disbursement schedule of the County and do not reflect 50% of
the fiscal year at December 31st. Sales Tax is expected to exceed budgeted estimates, and
the City’s sales tax analytics firm has indicated that this trend is expected to continue. Actual
sales and use tax revenues increased by 43.6% compared to the same six-month period last
year. Budgeted intergovernmental revenues include $7 million in Federal grants for Public
Works; however, these funds have not been received to date. With General Fund revenues at
45.2% as of December 31, 2021 and given the timing of revenues to be collected in the
second half of the fiscal year, revenue trends year-to-date are following the budgeted
expectations of meeting current year operations.
Expenditure trends
With 50% of the fiscal year elapsed, the General Fund expenditures across all City
Departments are at 37.2% of budgeted expenditures. Department Directors continue
exercising fiscal discipline and are working to control expenditures in their annual operating
budgets, with salaries and benefits for all departments under 50% at mid-year. Maintenance
and operations expenses are at 44.3%. Timing for anticipated capital projects and equipment
expenses may have been delayed to the second half of the fiscal year as totals for this
category are only 3.9% for all General Government departments as of December 31, 2021.
Enterprise Funds
Revenue and Expenditure Trends
As of December 31, 2021, Electric revenues are at 57.6%, Gas is at 71.1%, and charges for
services in the Water Fund are at 48%. Fiber Optic revenues are at 35% of budgeted revenue
due to the timing of billing. VPU continues to look for opportunities to operate its systems
efficiently while at the same time addressing infrastructure needs. As of mid-year, Electric and
Water Funds are below 50% of budgeted expenditures. The VPU Credit Program and an
increase in the need for system maintenance have brought Gas Fund to 71.1% and Fiber
Optic to 95% of expenditures at mid-year. Adjustments are being presented to Council to
appropriate funds for these unexpected costs.
Cash Position
Approximately 71% of the City’s cash funds are unrestricted, with the electric utility reserves
exceeding 180 days of operating expenditures. The General Fund reserve balance has
increased over the last three fiscal years. Deposits with financial institutions are approximately
41% of total funds for day to day operations and activity. The remainder of the funds are
invested in money market accounts and mutual funds.
Economic Outlook
Although the City’s economic performance throughout the state of emergency has proven very
resilient, the outlook remains one of caution. Global events, such as the Russian war on
Ukraine have driven up energy prices which directly impact the City's Enterprise Funds and its
customers. Supply chain shocks and inventory shortages have added to the inflationary trends
that are likely to continue throughout the calendar year. However, savings from City operations
will have a positive impact for the General Fund, such as the long-term savings from the
transition of City Fire operations to Los Angeles County, and leveling annual pension
payments for savings through Pension Obligation Bonds.
Proposed Budget Adjustments
Due to factors related to the state of emergency and worldwide events, as well as
expenditures that were not known or expected at the adoption of the FY 2021-22 Budget, staff
recommends adopting a resolution for budget adjustments from City departments and
enterprise funds.
Fiscal Impact:
Approved budget adjustments will result in an appropriation for each fund incorporated in the
current year budget. Approval of this action would require an appropriation of $660,344 for
City Administration, City Clerk, Public Works, and Health and Environmental Control
expenditures in various General Fund accounts from available General Fund Unassigned
Fund Balance, an appropriation of $30,000 for water treatment costs in Water Department's
Account No. 020-1084-500140 from available Water Fund Balance, an appropriation of
$2,774,393 for technical professional services and bond interest paid for various Electric Fund
accounts from available Electric Fund Balance, an appropriation of $733,952 for overtime and
customer rebate costs for various Gas Fund accounts from available Gas Fund Balance, and
an appropriation of $358,893 for repairs & maintenance, professional services, and capital
outlay costs for various Fiber Optic Fund accounts from available Fiber Optic Fund Balance.

SUBJECT
Reimbursement Agreement for Shelter Beds Within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter
Recommendation:
A. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a Reimbursement Agreement for shelter
beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter with the cities of Bell, Bell Gardens,
Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, and Southgate, collectively referred to
as the Local Coordinating Alliance 1 (LCA1) at an estimated cost of $62,415.50 and not
to exceed total of $100,000 for a term beginning March 1, 2022 and ending on June 30,
2023.
Background:
Homelessness is a complicated problem that is resistant to localized and uncoordinated
solutions. In 2020, nearly one in four of the estimated 570,000 unsheltered homeless
individuals in the United States lived in the State of California. Of the 151,000 homeless
individuals in California, forty-three percent (43%) were unhoused on the streets of Los
Angeles County, roughly 66,000 individuals. Of the 66,000 unsheltered individuals in Los
Angeles County in 2020, 41,000 lived on the streets of the City of Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), a quasi-governmental agency, was
formed in 1993 as a joint powers authority of the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los
Angeles to coordinate effective delivery of homeless services within the City of Los Angeles
and the County of Los Angeles. The cities of Glendale, Long Beach, and Pasadena operate
their own local homeless service programs through partnerships with local private and
nonprofit actors. The remaining eighty-four (84) cities within Los Angeles County, including
Vernon, are served by the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) system that is managed by
LAHSA.
Before the formation of LAHSA, homeless services were fragmented and inefficient within the
region. Duplicative service delivery led to inefficiencies, there was also a lack of accountability
and inconsistent results. Coordination between cities and regional agencies remains an issue
today, as does accountability to the public after the passage of Measure H. The current
challenge for cities is how to develop local and subregional homelessness service systems
that support and add to the efficiency of regional systems while still addressing local needs.
In the United States, homelessness services are provided by a Public-Private Partnership
model, where governmental agencies coordinate with private and nonprofit service providers
to deliver services. A comprehensive homelessness response system is composed of four
parts:
1. Homelessness Prevention – Preserving affordable housing, addressing income
insecurity and housing stability, providing mainstream safety net and anti-poverty
programs where the responsible parties are cities, counties, and the state.
2. Housing Creation – Building housing for all income levels and investing in permanent
supportive housing creation where the responsible parties are cities, counties, and the
state.
3. Rehousing Programs – The end-to-end system that focuses on placing homeless
individuals and families into temporary and permanent housing. LAHSA is the
responsible regional agency in this area.
4. Street Management – Street level efforts to provide services to unhoused individuals
through outreach and to ensure public health and safety. The responsible parties are
LAHSA for homeless outreach and the cities and the county for public health and safety.
LAHSA does not plan or execute street sanitation cleanups to maintain public health and
safety. Cities are responsible for coordinating and completing street sanitation cleanups that
include prior notification to unhoused individuals, the removal and safe storage of personal
items and effects in compliance with the law, and the cleanup and removal of accumulated
human waste and other debris that threatens public health and safety. When a city plans a
street sanitation cleanup it notifies LAHSA, which sends outreach workers to the locations
before and after cleanups to provide support and to offer temporary housing to people
experiencing homelessness.
In 2018, the Ninth Circuit court held in Martin v. Boise that a city cannot prosecute homeless
individuals for sleeping in public when there are more unhoused individuals than available
shelter beds. As a result, to execute sanitation cleanups and maintain public health and
safety, cities need to develop systems of coordination where city staff know when and how
many shelter beds are available and have the resources to be able to provide shelter options
to unhoused individuals that are affected by sanitation cleanups. In addition, it is critical that
public safety agencies know how many shelter beds are available to them, and public safety
agencies need access to shelter beds on an emergency basis. If a police officer encounters
an individual in need during the night or on the weekend, the opportunity for that person to
receive care and shelter, if they are willing to accept shelter, may be lost if the officer does not
have access to a shelter bed for that individual. If the willing unhoused individual can be
provided a shelter bed, their options to access medical care, mental health care, drug and
alcohol counseling, and permanent housing are significantly improved.
The Salvation Army Bell Shelter is located within the city limits of the City of Bell and the
shelter receives unhoused residents from the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) system. The
Bell Shelter is one of the largest shelters in the nation, and the shelter provides a significant
portion of the region’s shelter beds. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter complex provides a
variety of supportive services and housing options, shelter beds are only one segment of the
critical regional resources that the Salvation Army provides within the City of Bell. The shelter
beds at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter are funded through contracts with agencies such as
LAHSA, the Veterans Administration, and the Los Angeles County Department of Mental
Health (DMH). Existing contracts provide most of the operations revenue for the Salvation
Army Bell Shelter, and without these contracts the shelter would not be able to operate. The
City of Bell does not currently have a separate contract for shelter beds at the Bell Shelter.
Therefore, the City’s only available resource to serve unhoused individuals is the
overburdened CoC system, which limits the City’s ability to directly address local
homelessness issues.
DISCUSSION:
The Local Coordinating Alliance 1 (LCA1) cities and unincorporated areas (Bell, Bell
Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, East Los Angeles, Huntington Park, Maywood, South Gate,
Vernon, and Walnut Park) surrounding the Salvation Army Bell Shelter face a disproportionate
homelessness impact. Unhoused individuals that are transported to the Salvation Army Bell
Shelter from the greater Los Angeles County region may not successfully transfer to
permanent housing for a variety of reasons, may not accept the mental health or drug and
alcohol treatment services provided at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, or may refuse to
conform to the rules necessary for a safe and orderly living environment for residents of the
Salvation Army Bell Shelter. As a result of these personal choices, and despite the best efforts
of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter staff, these individuals may increase the unhoused
population in the LCA1 cities, the surrounding unincorporated communities, and in the
adjacent Los Angeles River channel. Thus, improved subregional coordination between the
affected Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) area LCA1 communities, Los Angeles County
Supervisorial Districts 1 and 4, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, the Gateway Cities Council of
Governments (Gateway COG), and existing regional agencies and nonprofit service providers
is necessary to address the complex issue of homelessness in a manner that improves quality
of life in the SELA subregion and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of existing regional
services for the unhoused.
The Gateway COG provided Measure H Innovation funding in 2020/2021 for the City of Bell to
be the lead agency in hiring a shared Homeless Services Liaison for the cities of Bell,
Commerce, Cudahy, and Maywood to cooperatively address the disparate homelessness
impact in the area. The work of the shared Homeless Services Liaison that is based in the City
of Bell Community Services Department has been critical in addressing issues within the four
participating communities. However, without an additional inventory of shelter beds to
supplement the CoC system, the immediate challenges in the four-city area are difficult to
address.
The City of Bell applied for and received $500,000 in Measure H Innovation Funds from the
Gateway COG to support this shared shelter bed pilot program and to reduce the cost to the
LCA1 cities by fifty percent (50%). The City of Bell has achieved consensus with the LCA1
cities to share costs equally for this innovative pilot program. Los Angeles County
Supervisorial District 1 (Solis) and Supervisorial District 4 (Hahn) are in the process of
separately contracting with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to add six (6) additional shelter
beds to this coordinated group of thirty-six (36) shelter beds that will result in a total of forty-
two (42) shelter beds coordinated by the Homeless Services Liaison that is based in the City
of Bell. The Gateway COG also awarded $182,435 to the City of Bell to continue funding the
shared Homeless Services Liaison through June 30, 2023.
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT DETAILS:
Several meetings and discussions occurred with the LCA1 City Managers, Los Angeles
County Supervisorial Districts 1 and 4 staff, Gateway COG staff, the Gateway COG
Homelessness Technical Advisory Committee, the Chief Executive’s Office of Los Angeles
County, the Los Angeles County Homelessness Initiative, and the Salvation Army to develop
this Agreement over a period of six months. In total, seven (7) versions of this Agreement
were developed: five (5) to reach group consensus and two (2) to add additional terms and
metrics to align this program with regional service delivery standards. The issues noted below
were debated during development of the Agreement.
Program Costs
The initial cost per bed/per day proposed by the Salvation Army to the City of Bell was sixty
dollars ($60) per bed/per day for low barrier crisis shelter beds, the final cost per bed/per day
in the Agreement is fifty-seven dollars ($57) per bed/per day for a mix of low barrier crisis
shelter beds and bridge shelter beds. The type of shelter bed provided to a resident is based
on the acuity or special needs of the resident, with bridge beds providing a higher level of
services.
City of Bell staff and the Salvation Army discussed fixed and variable service costs per type of
shelter bed, as well as other City contributions that support the Salvation Army Bell Shelter
(public safety response, public works response, etc.) in determining the final cost of $57 per
day/per bed. This Agreement is also important to the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, as they are
sensitive to negative impacts that may occur in the SELA communities around the shelter, and
they want to develop improved collaboration with communities near the shelter that may not
have the fiscal resources to directly contract with the shelter.
Equal Distribution of Costs
Several meetings of the LCA1 cities discussed how to distribute costs among the agencies,
with several cost factors proposed. The LCA1 group looked at the following factors:
population, general fund budget, five-year average of homeless point in time counts, city area
in square miles, five-year average of homeless point in time counts by square mile, and equal
share.
Based on the difficulty of finding consensus (as many cities preferred the cost factor which
resulted in the lowest cost for their city), the need for all cities to be flexible in coordinating the
inventory of shelter beds, the availability of funding from the Gateway COG and the American
Rescue Act, and the recognition of the LCA1 cities that the success of this innovative pilot
program would likely improve local response to homelessness and improve subregional
homelessness coordination, the LCA1 cities agreed to share an equal one-eighth (1/8th) cost
of the pilot program.
The contribution of Measure H Innovation Grant funds from the Gateway COG was critical in
reducing the cost of the program for LCA1 cities with smaller populations and limited general
fund resources. It is likely that without the Measure H Innovation Grant funds several of the
cities would not be able to participate due to financial constraints and the opportunity to
coordinate the SELA subregion would be lost.
Distribution of Shelter Bed Inventory and Shelter Bed Availability
The Agreement provides for four (4) shelter beds per LCA1 city, and four (4) shared public
safety shelter beds. However, it is impossible to predict exactly how long a specific shelter bed
will be occupied, how many unhoused individuals will accept shelter, and what the various
demands will be from each of the LCA1 cities.
The LCA1 cities understand that this is a pilot program, and a high degree of flexibility,
coordination, and analysis will be necessary to manage the shelter bed inventory in a manner
that satisfies every LCA1 party. The Agreement clearly states the need for coordination and
flexibility that is required of all participants for the pilot program to be successful.
It is expected that a high level of city, county and agency communication will result from this
pilot program. The LCA1 cities will have to work cooperatively to balance their individual
needs and ensure that each LCA1 city has access to the shelter beds. There is also a risk that
the LCA1 cities may not be able to achieve ninety percent (90%) occupancy of the shelter
beds, as many unhoused individuals may choose to not accept shelter. If the LCA1 cities
cannot maintain the desired shelter bed occupancy, the available shelter beds may be used
by other Service Planning Area 7 (SPA7) cities. This will be an incentive for the LCA1 cities to
coordinate the shelter bed inventory so that this valuable resource is not underutilized or
wasted.
Metrics and Program Analysis
The success of this pilot program is dependent not just on the flexibility and coordination of the
parties, but also on the data that is developed to determine whether a subregional
collaboration for homeless services can improve local service delivery and successfully
supplement regional homelessness service delivery. The information from this program will be
input into the County’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) which will allow for
analysis and auditing of the pilot program’s effectiveness. The Agreement notes specific
metrics and targets for pilot program success. If the parties can effectively coordinate in a
manner that improves local homelessness response and supports regional homelessness
response without waste or inefficiency, this pilot program can be a model for subregional
homeless services that can address the concerns of local communities in a targeted manner.
Termination
This Agreement includes the option for any LCA1 party to terminate for convenience after
June 30, 2022, within thirty (30) days of written notice to the City of Bell, and/or upon a
termination of the Social Services Collaborator Agreement by the City of Bell or by the
Salvation Army pursuant to the terms of the Social Services Collaborator Agreement with the
City of Bell. This Agreement also includes provisions for the default of an LCA1 party in
Section 6(a). If issues occur with reimbursement from the LCA1 cities, or if the pilot program
does not successfully address subregional needs, the pilot program may be terminated.
The proposed Reimbursement Agreement for Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell
Shelter with the participating LCA1 parties has been reviewed and approved as to form by the
City Attorney's Office.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of the agreement to the City of Vernon will be determined by the timing of the
execution of the final Reimbursement Agreement for Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army
Bell Shelter with the participating LCA1 parties. The maximum estimated cost to the City of
Vernon for this agreement is $62,415.50 for a term starting on March 1, 2022 and ending on
June 30, 2023 (487 days). This cost is determined based on $500,000 in Measure H
Innovation Grant Funds reimbursed from the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, and the
approval of the Reimbursement Agreement by the LCA1 cities of Bell Gardens, Commerce,
Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, South Gate and Vernon to share remaining costs
equally. The total cost and/or term of the agreement may be reduced if delays in program
implementation occur due to COVID-19 public health restrictions at the Salvation Army Bell
Shelter that may restrict or reduce the initial availability of shelter beds.
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/2022 the estimated cost is $15,637.96. For FY 2022/2023, the
estimated cost is $46,785.70. The proposed agreement is not budgeted in FY 2021/2022,
however, sufficient funds are available in the Community Development Fund Account No.
011.1070.596200 and will be budgeted accordingly for FY 2022/2023.

1. Joint Agency Reimbursement Agreement for Salvation Army Bell Shelter Beds
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
FOR
SHELTER BEDS WITHIN THE SALVATION ARMY BELL SHELTER
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of March
____, 2022 (“Effective Date”) by and among the CITY OF BELL, a California charter city
(“Bell”), the CITY OF BELL GARDENS, a California general law city (“Bell Gardens”),the
CITY OF COMMERCE, a California general law city (“Commerce”), the CITY OF
CUDAHY, a California general law city (“Cudahy”), the CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK, a
California general law city (“Huntington Park”), the CITY OF MAYWOOD, a California
general law city (“Maywood”), the CITY OF SOUTH GATE, a California general law city
(“South Gate”), and the CITY OF VERNON, a California charter city and municipal corporation
(“Vernon”), collectively referred to herein as the “LCA1 Members” and/or the “Parties”.
RECITALS
A. The cities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood,
South Gate, and Vernon, are members of a Local Coordinating Alliance 1
(“LCA1”), a cooperative working group of eight (8) entities developed within the
Gateway Cities Council of Governments for subregional homeless services
coordination in the Southeast Los Angeles subregion of Service Planning Area 7
(“SPA 7”). The LCA1 Members have agreed to coordinate resources and services
to address homelessness in the Southeastern Los Angeles region within a
provisional pilot program as described / outlined pursuant to the terms in this
Agreement.
B. Los Angeles County (First and Fourth Supervisorial Districts) (“County”) will
separately participate with The Salvation Army for the same services as set forth
herein pursuant to separate agreements directly with the Salvation Army Bell
Shelter.
C. A “Shelter Bed” is defined as an occupancy placement within a crisis housing bed
or a bridge housing bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter located at 5600
Rickenbacker Rd, Bell, CA 9020, for a single adult (age 18 or over) participant
referred into a program of comprehensive homeless support services within such
shelter. Depending on the service needs of the particular unhoused individual,
initial placement may occur in a crisis housing bed that is operated with a low
barrier design or in a bridge housing bed. Both crisis and bridge housing beds are
intended provide a safe and supportive twenty-four (24) hour residence to
individuals experiencing homelessness while enabling assistance for them to obtain
permanent housing. A low barrier design program is one in which no participant
that is placed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter shall be required to commit
to sobriety, or to commit to an adherence to medications for physical or mental
health conditions. Low barrier crisis housing beds are expected to be provided at
the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in Building 1E. Bridge housing beds are expected
to be provided at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter sober living dormitories in
Building 2A/B for participants who prefer to live in a more stable environment. The
01135.0001/536707.2 -2-
number of beds provided in each housing type will be flexible to accommodate the
shifting needs of the participants at any time.
D. It is expected that a number of participants entering the pilot program will have
significant barriers to employment and housing. The Parties expect that there will
be an on-site Salvation Army Bell Shelter employee who will provide group and
individual psychotherapy for participants who need an advanced level of support
and are open to engaging in behavioral health services.
E. Client level data for this pilot program will be entered into the Los Angeles
Homeless Services Authority’s (“LAHSA”) Homeless Management Information
System (“HMIS”). HMIS collects participant demographic data, as well as
program and service utilization data for auditing, reporting, and to facilitate
participant transfer and coordination among available regional homeless services
programs.
F. The LCA1 Members currently participate in the Los Angeles County Coordinated
Entry System (“County CES”), which provides for placements of individuals
experiencing homelessness within occupiable shelter beds in Los Angeles County.
Due to the high demand for shelter beds within Los Angeles County, a shelter bed
may not be immediately available to address the needs of the local unhoused
population in the Southeast Los Angeles County subregion. Thus, the City of Bell
has negotiated an agreement with The Salvation Army to procure the prioritized
use of thirty-six (36) shelter beds for the eight (8) participating LCA1 Members, in
recognition of the local impacts of homelessness experienced by the LCA1
Members.
G. The LCA1 Members, have collectively designated the City of Bell as the lead
agency to coordinate the implementation of the pilot program proposed by this
Agreement for the placement of homeless individuals within the Salvation Army
Bell Shelter in an effort to address the unhoused population that the LCA1 Members
seek to assist.
H. This pilot program will require a great deal of cooperation among the LCA1
Members in order to enable the efficient placement of homeless individuals
currently to a Shelter Bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter.
I. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter, one of the largest shelters in the nation, is located
within the City of Bell in the Southeast Los Angeles County subregion and accepts
placements from throughout the Los Angeles County area through the County CES.
The Shelter Beds are contracted by various governmental and nonprofit entities,
and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, in recognition of the homeless housing
impacts experienced by the LCA1 Members, has agreed to contract with the City
of Bell for thirty-six (36) prioritized Shelter Beds to be allocated to the LCA1
Members’ homeless population, based on certain conditions.
01135.0001/536707.2 -3-
J. The City of Bell will take the lead on behalf of the LCA1 Members plus the County
to coordinate the prioritized use of forty-two (42) Shelter Beds within the Salvation
Army Shelter through a Homeless Liaison (as such term is defined below), which
shall be a designated staff member selected by the City of Bell to implement the
pilot program under this Agreement that is separately funded by a Measure H
Innovation Fund Grant reimbursement through the Gateway Cities Council of
Governments.
K. To this end, the City of Bell and The Salvation Army, a California corporation
(“Salvation Army”) have entered into an agreement, dated March ____, 2022, as
set forth in Exhibit A (the “Salvation Army Agreement”), whereby the City of
Bell, has acquired the prioritized right for thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds within the
Salvation Army Bell Shelter, and additional supportive services to serve the LCA1
Members’ homeless housing population.
L. Separately, the City of Bell, as lead agency, applied for and received a $500,000
Measure H Innovation Fund Grant (“Measure H Grant”) from the Gateway Cities
Council of Governments, which reduces the total cost of this pilot program to the
eight (8) LCA1 Members. With Measure H Grant funds, the total estimated cost
of the Salvation Army Agreement to the eight (8) participating LCA1 Members
would be reduced by fifty percent (50%) from $999,324 to $499,324. In return for
the Measure H Grant award, the LCA1 Members agree that if the thirty-six (36)
Shelter Beds cannot be filled by the LCA1 Members, open placements will be made
available to other SPA 7 communities with pre-approval of the designated
Homeless Liaison. The total number of SPA 7 placements from outside of the eight
(8) LCA1 Members may not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the thirty-six (36)
Shelter Beds, which is eighteen (18) out of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds at any
one time. Placements will not be available to other SPA 7 communities through this
Agreement until Shelter Bed occupancy drops below ninety percent (90%)
occupancy, or thirty-three (33) of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds.
M. The City of Bell shall appoint an individual to serve as a liaison to all LCA1
Members and the County (the “Homeless Liaison”), and shall work with the
participating LCA1 Members and the County to coordinate the use of the prioritized
Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in addition to any other beds
that are made available through the County CES.
N. The Shelter Beds are designed to provide the LCA1 Members with an additional
inventory of homeless shelter beds to address the significant impacts of
homelessness the LCA1 Members are experiencing. If any individuals choose to
leave a placement at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, either of their own volition
or for violating the rules and policies of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, they will
add to the unhoused population in the communities of the Southeast Los Angeles
subregion. Thus, the pilot program proposed by the LCA1 Members is designed to
provide an enhanced level of support, resources, and communication in order to
ensure any placement of individuals within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter remain
for as long as reasonably possible.
01135.0001/536707.2 -4-
O. The LCA1 Members agree that the costs of this Agreement will be shared equally
among all of the LCA1 Members and they shall be required to pay their equal share
each month during the term of this Agreement. If a LCA1 Member chooses to
withdraw from this Agreement, other cities within the SPA 7 area may be added to
this Agreement with priority provided to communities closest to the Salvation
Army Bell Shelter (which addition may require an amendment or supplement to
this Agreement as determined by the City of Bell). The intent of the LCA1
Members is to retain a minimum of eight (8) participating entities, in order to
ensure, i) that the cost of this Agreement is not prohibitive for any one member and,
ii) that the Shelter Beds remain ninety percent (90%) occupied during the term of
this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, the Parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are hereby
acknowledged and agreed to by the Parties and are incorporated in the terms of this
Agreement. Specifically, the City of Bell is acknowledged and agreed to as the lead
agency, and its appointed Homeless Liaison is acknowledged and agreed to, for purposes
of this Agreement.
Section 2. Term; Termination.
(a) The term of this Agreement will commence on March 1, 2022 and end on June
30, 2023 (the “Term”) for a total of 487 days.
(b) In addition, this Agreement may be terminated after June 30, 2022, (i) at the
convenience of any LCA1 Member following thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
City of Bell, and/or (ii) upon a termination of the Salvation Army Agreement by the
Salvation Army or the City of Bell pursuant to the terms of the Salvation Army Agreement.
The City of Bell, as lead agency, may replace any party that terminates this Agreement
with another city within the SPA7 area that executes an acknowledgement and acceptance
of the terms of this Agreement (which, at the City of Bell’s discretion, may require an
amendment to this Agreement).
(c) In the event of any termination by a LCA1 Member after June 30, 2022, and
a replacement SPA 7 city is not immediately available to take such terminating Party’s
share of the costs/payments required herein, then the equitable share of costs for this
Agreement (along with the allocation of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds for all LCA1
Members) provided in Section 3 below shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 3. Cost and Payment. It is agreed and acknowledged that the Parties will
share the costs of this pilot program equally, and that, regardless of any ability of the City
of Bell, the Homeless Liaison, and / or the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to actually enable
the utilization of any Shelter Bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for any LCA1
Member’s homeless population, each LCA1 Member shall be required to pay the monthly
01135.0001/536707.2 -5-
amount due under this Agreement on the first day of each month of the Term of this
Agreement to the City of Bell in order for the City of Bell to pay any and all monthly
invoices received from the Salvation Army without delay. If the invoice received by the
City of Bell from the Salvation Army for the use of the Shelter Beds in any given month is
less than the amount collectively paid by the LCA1 Members for such month, then the City
of Bell shall promptly refund any such overcharge to each of the LCA1 Members on an
equal basis.
As the City of Bell, as lead agency, was successful in procuring $500,000 in Measure H
Grant funds from the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, the total cost for each of
the Parties (as set forth below) is proportionally reduced during the term of the Measure H
Grant fund term.
Total Agreement Cost
The total cost of the Salvation Army Agreement is $999,324 calculated at thirty-six (36)
Shelter Beds per day at a cost of $57 per bed / per day for 487 days.
The City of Bell will invoice the Gateway Cities Council of Governments for $500,000 in
Measure H Grant fund reimbursements, which would reduce the total cost of this
Agreement to $499,324.
Los Angeles County First Supervisorial District will enter directly into a separate
agreement with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for four (4) additional Shelter Beds at a
cost of $117,420. Los Angeles County Fourth Supervisorial District will enter directly into
a separate agreement with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for two (2) additional Shelter
Beds at a cost of $58,710, to bring the total number of coordinated Shelter Beds in the
Southeast Los Angeles subregion to forty-two (42) under this pilot program.
The eight (8) LCA1 Members will be invoiced monthly by the City of Bell for an equal
one-eighth (1/8th) share. Each of the eight (8) LCA1 Members will be billed a maximum
of $62,415.50 of the total Agreement of $499,324.
Monthly Invoice
The City of Bell, as lead agency, will submit the monthly invoice it receives from the
Salvation Army pursuant to the Salvation Army Agreement, to each LCA1 Member upon
five (5) business days of its receipt therefor, with, if applicable, backup documentation and
related reports for the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds.
Section 4. Specifications. The availability and use of the thirty-six (36) Shelter
Beds allocated to each LCA1 Member shall be subject to the following specifications. In
recognition of the complexity of the daily operations of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter,
and the unknown personal, regional, and local factors which affect Shelter Bed availability,
the Parties agree that a high level of communication, coordination, and flexibility is
necessary to effectively use all available Shelter Beds, and to refrain from submitting
Shelter Bed placements when inventory is not available. There is no guarantee that a
Shelter Bed is available at any specific time, as the complex and shifting factors that affect
01135.0001/536707.2 -6-
Shelter Bed inventory are beyond the control of the City of Bell and the Salvation Army
Bell Shelter. The purpose of this pilot program is to increase coordination and
communication on homelessness within the LCA1 subregion, to develop data at a
subregional level, and to develop improved and effective partnerships on a subregional
level with regional service providers and nonprofit entities.
(a) Initial Use of Crisis Housing Bed Inventory. Upon the notice from
the Salvation Army of availability of Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter,
ten percent (10%) of the thirty-six (36) beds will be designated as public safety priority
beds for emergency use by the public safety agencies of all LCA1 Members, for a total of
four (4) beds. The remaining ninety percent (90%), or thirty-two (32) beds, will be
prioritized as four (4) general inventory beds per each LCA1 Member. This distribution
equals eight (8) LCA1 Members times four (4) beds each for a general inventory of thirty-
two (32) beds. Initial intake into a public safety priority bed shall also require participation
from a public safety agency (e.g., Bell Police Department, Bell Gardens Police Department,
Los Angeles County Sheriff, South Gate Police Department, Vernon Police Department,
etc.). Once the new resident is placed in a public safety bed and completes the facility
intake process, they will be rotated from the priority public safety bed into one of the thirty-
two (32) general beds, if a general bed is available. If the LCA1 Members cannot fill the
Shelter Bed inventory, and the Shelter Bed occupancy drops below ninety percent (90%),
the Homeless Liaison may refer participants from non LCA1 Member SPA 7 cities to
ensure that the Shelter Bed inventory is used efficiently up to a maximum of eighteen (18)
non LCA1 Member SPA 7 placements at any one time. The LCA1 Members shall use best
efforts to efficiently and effectively coordinate the shared use of available Shelter Beds to
maintain ninety percent (90%) occupancy and meet their specific local needs depending on
bed availability. The Salvation Army has agreed, pursuant to the Salvation Army
Agreement to coordinate in good faith to plan transfers of homeless individuals to other
available support programs, based on participant eligibility (i.e., Veteran’s Administration
program shelter beds, Department of Mental Health program shelter beds, Substance Abuse
Prevention and Control program shelter beds) to increase the annual number of participants
that can benefit from the forty (40) prioritized Shelter Beds under the Salvation Army
Agreement. The LCA1 Members acknowledge and agree that the thirty-six (36) Shelter
Beds are not actually reserved or dedicated to the LCA1 Members’ homeless population,
but are merely prioritized to them under the Salvation Army Agreement. Each day there
shall be an analysis of the occupancy of Shelter Beds and allocations will be made available
to each of the LCA1 Members through the Homeless Liaison in coordination with the
LCA1 Members. As such, the effectiveness of this pilot program requires cooperation and
consistent communication between the LCA1 Members and the Homeless Liaison, given
the fluidity of available bed occupancy (and the rotation in and out of such beds by
homeless individuals).
(b) Recalculation of Crisis Housing Bed Inventory. In order to ensure the
full and efficient use of the thirty-six (36) prioritized Shelter Beds, cooperation and
communication between the Parties is essential. Informal analysis and recalculation of
Shelter Bed use ratios shall occur every week day during the Term of this Agreement, and
as needed, to use the available Shelter Beds efficiently. An initial thirty (30) day use
analysis will be provided to the LCA1 Members by the City of Bell and/or the Homeless
01135.0001/536707.2 -7-
Liaison after the Effective Date and a secondary sixty (60) day use analysis will be
provided to the LCA1 Members, in order to determine and agree to the most efficient bed
use ratios. Thereafter, quarterly reviews will occur to determine the efficient use of the
Shelter Beds, and the effectiveness of this pilot program and how it could be improved.
Shelter Bed inventory flexibility is critical in order to effectively address conditions in the
field (given the fact that individuals placed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter will
likely be rotating in and out frequently) and in order to assess the success of program
participants in receiving housing placement. As this program is a pilot program and
requires participant flexibility, all Parties will designate a public safety contact and a staff
contact for the Homeless Liaison to coordinate activities and improve communication, each
of which are designated on the signature page for each of the Parties below.
(c) Shelter Bed Availability Limitations. If the Salvation Army Bell
Shelter is experiencing COVID-19 quarantine limits or holds on resident intake upon the
execution of the Salvation Army Agreement, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter will not
initiate invoicing for Shelter Beds until the beds are available. Limitations on Shelter Bed
availability may exist depending on the number of available Shelter Beds in the Salvation
Army Bell Shelter’s daily inventory. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter does not provide
family shelter resources; thus LCA1 Members must coordinate placement of any such
families to other shelters through the Homeless Liaison during business hours or call 211
(www.211la.org) to find suitable shelter or motel options for families in need. The
Salvation Army Bell Shelter does not provide a kennel to shelter the pets of unhoused
individuals in need. The thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds addressed in this Agreement are
merely a supplement to the shelter beds available through the County CES.
(d) Intake. New resident intake shall occur during regular business
hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter
provides 24 hour a day, seven day a week staffing, however the shelter has an inventory of
four (4) safe rooms for intake and staff are required to perform COVID-19 protocols upon
intake that limit the ability of the shelter to perform intake outside of regular business hours.
After hours domestic violence and/or other emergency placements are subject to the
availability of an unoccupied safe room at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. Emergency
intake is available after hours, however due to a limited number of available safe rooms
and due to COVID-19 protocols, after hours intake should only be for emergency
situations. An after-hours call line that operates 24 hours a day will be provided to
participating public safety agencies for use in the event of an after-hours emergency.
(e) Length of Stay. Each participant will be limited to an initial stay of
ninety (90) days. Two (90) day extensions are available upon request for participants
actively working on a housing plan, for a maximum stay of 270 days for any individual
participant.
(f) COVID-19 Protocols and Processes. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter
restarted limited intake of residents into quarantine facilities on August 19, 2021. COVID-
19 protocols for intake include but are not limited to, i) any incoming participant is tested
on the day of or on the day after intake regardless of vaccine status, ii) if an incoming
participant is vaccinated, the participant may move into a public safety prioritized bed. If
01135.0001/536707.2 -8-
a participant is not vaccinated, they must remain in quarantine until two negative COVID-
19 tests are received. The second test occurs seven to eight days after the first, with results
generally available within three days. Modular homes located on the greater Salvation
Army Bell complex property serve as a first line of intake quarantine and are subject to
availability.
(g) Homeless Liaison. The Homeless Liaison will coordinate daily with
assigned Salvation Army Bell Shelter staff, in order to determine the daily inventory on
weekdays of Shelter Bed availability and the roster of shelter residents, however, it shall
not be required to ensure the availability of all thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds since such beds
are only prioritized, they are not specifically reserved, and the LCA1 Members must
coordinate with the Homeless Liaison in order to ensure allocation of Shelter Beds for
proposed participants. The Homeless Liaison will coordinate daily with assigned LCA1
public safety agency assigned staff (as designated on the signature page to this Agreement)
to report shelter bed inventory availability and to determine any planned public safety
needs. The Homeless Liaison will coordinate daily with designated Salvation Army Bell
Shelter staff to determine how many residents can be transferred to general bed inventory
or to other programs to maximize Shelter Bed use. The City of Bell and the Homeless
Liaison shall have no liability for any failure to ensure a placement of any LCA1 Member’s
proposed participant / homeless population within a Shelter Bed.
(h) Reporting.
(i) Reporting by Salvation Army Bell Shelter: It is expected that the Salvation Army
Bell Shelter will provide, i) daily inventory counts to the Homeless Liaison and, ii) a
monthly report and invoice to the City of Bell and the Homeless Liaison.
(ii) Reporting by the Homeless Liaison: the Homeless Liaison will reasonably
endeavor to provide: i) a monthly report and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter invoice it
received to all participating LCA1 cities and, ii) a quarterly report to the LCA1 Members
and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments.
(iii) Participant level data will be entered into the LAHSA HMIS system for
program reporting and auditing purposes.
(iv) The following metrics and expected outcome measures will be reasonably
tracked and reported: i) a minimum of one hundred (100) unduplicated individuals will be
served each year during the Term of this Agreement, with a goal of one hundred and fifty
(150) unduplicated individuals over the Term of the Agreement, ii) twenty percent (20%)
of participants (of those able to work – e.g. not disabled or retired) will be employed by
the expected exit date and, iii) thirty percent (30%) of participants will exit to permanent
housing and, iv) eighty five percent (85%) of participants will complete a housing plan
and, v) ten percent (10%) of participants will exit to another level of care (DMH IHP or
other stable housing location). However, there shall be no liability to any of the Parties if
such metrics and/or outcome measures are not achieved
01135.0001/536707.2 -9-
Section 6. Defaults and Indemnification Provisions.
(a) Defaults. In the event any of the Parties shall fail to pay its required share
of the costs of the Shelter Beds in any given month during the Term of this Agreement (or
any extension approved by the Parties), then such party shall be in immediate default under
this Agreement, and the City of Bell shall be entitled to, and may sue for, the payment of
all such unpaid amounts (and the defaulting party shall pay interest at the lesser of (i) 10%
per annum, or (ii), the maximum rate permitted by law) from and after the due date of such
monetary payment obligation until payment is actually received. The Parties acknowledge
that money damages and remedies at law generally are inadequate and that specific
performance is appropriate for the enforcement of this Agreement. Therefore, the remedy
of specific performance shall be available to all Parties hereto. This subsection shall not
limit any other rights, remedies, or causes of action that any party may have at law or
equity.
(b) Indemnity by City of Bell. To the full extent permitted by law, the City of
Bell agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the other Parties, and their
respective officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold
and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, claim, or liabilities that
may be asserted or claimed by the Salvation Army, arising out of or in connection with
any defaults or failures asserted under the Salvation Army Agreement against the City of
Bell, and/or the City of Bell’s negligent performance of the activities, work, or operations
provided under this Agreement, except claims or liabilities occurring as a result of
Indemnified Parties’ negligence or willful acts or omissions. The indemnity obligations
contained herein shall be binding on successors and assigns of the Parties and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
(c) Indemnity by Parties. To the full extent permitted by law, each of the
Parties agree (based on, and only up to, the Parties’ respective proportionate share of the
costs due from each party as set forth in Section 3 above) to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the City of Bell and the Homeless Liaison, and their respective officers,
employees and agents against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless
from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims,
damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or
liabilities that may be asserted or claimed by the Salvation Army, or any other person, firm
or entity arising out of or in connection with the Shelter Beds, the Salvation Army
Agreement, and/or this Agreement, except with respect to the negligent performance of the
activities, work, or operations provided by the City of Bell or the Homeless Liaison under
the Salvation Army Agreement or herein. In no event shall any party’s aggregate liability
exceed the party’s respective proportionate share of the costs due from each party as set
forth in Section 3 above. The indemnity obligations contained herein shall be binding on
successors and assigns of the Parties and shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any of the Parties fail to make
any payment due hereunder, which causes the City of Bell to fail to make the payments
due under the Salvation Army Agreement, the Parties shall share in any costs, liabilities,
or claims that result from the failure of such nonpayment and the City of Bell shall not be
01135.0001/536707.2 -10-
required to make any additional payment to the Salvation Army to cover such un-
reimbursed amounts.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT
Change Order No.16 to the Amended and Restated Services Agreement with Siemens
Energy, Inc.
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is a government fiscal activity that will not result in
direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute
a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; to the extent the Services
Agreement with Siemens Energy provides for facility and equipment maintenance or
repairs, such work is categorically exempt from CEQA review, in accordance with CEQA
Guidelines § 15301, because the project consists of the maintenance, repair or minor
alteration of existing structures, facilities, or equipment, and involves negligible or no
expansion of an existing use;
B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute Change Order No. 16 to the
Amended and Restated Services Agreement with Siemens Energy, Inc., (Siemens
Energy) in substantially the same form as submitted, to revise the Payment Schedule
and amend the termination date of the agreement; and
C. Approve the issuance of a blanket Purchase Contract in an amount not-to-exceed
$450,000 for maintenance services with Siemens Energy for the remainder of fiscal year
2021-2022.
Background:
On November 16, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-41, approving a Purchase
and Sale Agreement (PSA) with Bicent (California) Malburg LLC (Bicent) for the acquisition of
the Malburg Generating Station (MGS). Under the PSA, the City is required to assume or
otherwise comply with certain vendor contracts previously entered by Bicent. As such, the City
is obligated to assume the existing Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA) between Bicent and
Siemens Energy.
In accordance with Section 2.6(a)(12) of the PSA, at the Closing, Bicent would deliver to the
City “an assignment of the LTSA executed by Seller, Purchaser, and Siemens Energy,
substantially in the form of Exhibit F.” The referenced ‘Exhibit F’ is the Assignment of the
Amended and Restate Services Agreement for MGS executed by Bicent, the City and
Siemens Energy.
As assigned, the LTSA was designed for Siemens Energy to provide Program Parts, Non-
Program Parts, Miscellaneous Hardware, Inspection Hardware, Generator Parts, Generator
Scheduled Outages, Steam Turbine Parts, Steam Turbine Scheduled Outages, Scheduled
Outage Services and Program Management Services to Bicent for the ongoing needs of MGS.
The agreement was structured in form and function with consideration to the terms and
requirements of the Power Purchase Tolling Agreement (PPTA) between the City and Bicent,
dated April 10, 2008. As required by the PSA, the PPTA was terminated.
The acquisition of MGS, concurrent with the termination of the PPTA, renders areas of the
LTSA obsolete. In addition, changes in the long-term turbine maintenance marketplace and
evolving electric marketplace, suggest the City will benefit financially and operationally by an
early termination of the LTSA.
Siemens Energy recently provided Change Order No. 16 to the Amended and Restated
Services Agreement. Change Order No. 16 amends the termination date to occur on or
around September 30, 2025. City Council approval of Change Order No. 16 will enable a
discount to the originally scheduled 2023 and 2024 payments by $750,000 (upon escalation)
and will eliminate the scheduled payments for services beyond the June 2024 invoice.
Subsequently, staff will conduct an analysis to determine how to best meet the needs of the
MGS operations in the long-term, and work through the City procurement process to secure a
vendor with the appropriate competency to maintain proper maintenance at the power plant.
Accordingly, VPU is requesting to amend the LTSA agreement with Siemens in accordance
with Change Order No. 16.
Change Order No. 16 has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office and
proprietary and confidential information has been redacted.
Staff is also seeking approval of a blanket Purchase Contract in the amount of $450,000
through the remainder of the current fiscal year to cover services needed from Siemens
Energy for the Malburg Spring 2022 Outage, scheduled from May 1 through May 26, 2022.
Fiscal Impact:
The total fiscal impact associated with Change Order No. 16 is $10,035,526 and will be
included in the FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 budgets accordingly. The total fiscal impact of the
proposed blanket Purchase Contract for services needed from Siemens for the Spring 2022
Outage is $450,000. Sufficient funds for the Spring 2022 outage services are available in
Electric Fund, Resource Planning Division Account No. 055.9200.500180 – Capacity.

Confidential Information
4. Adjustments to Prices
4.1 Escalation Mechanics
All Fees due to Seller under this Contract shall be paid in U.S. Dollars and escalated at
the time of invoice according to the Escalation Factor using the calculated rate developed
at the beginning of each year.
4.2 Escalation Factor
The annual percentage change (rounded to four (4) decimal places) in the Gross Domestic
Product Implicit Price Deflater, as reported in the Survey of Current Business published in
February of each subsequent year, and revised thereafter, by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis, United States Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. (the "GDPIPD
Index"), will be used for the computation of "Escalation Factor" to be used to determine
the applicable escalation amounts due and payable hereunder unless otherwise noted.
In the event an "annual" value is not posted, the arithmetic average of the quarterly or
monthly cost indices for the previous year in question will be used.
Fees subject to the Escalation Factor shall be adjusted either up or down by the Escalation
Factor at the time of each invoice. Should the indices specified in the formula be
discontinued, or should the basis of an index be modified, the Parties shall mutually agree
on an appropriate correction factor or substitute index.
"Escalation Factor'' means: the net percentage increase or decrease (as the case may
be) in the GDPIPD Index over the period from base date of January 1, 2015 ("annual"
index value of 108.272) for calendar year 2014 through date of the subject invoice, utilizing
the most current "annual" escalation data released for the 12 month period for the previous
Calendar year. The Escalation Factor shall be calculated by the following formula:
Escalation Factor = (AF - 108.272) I 108.272, where AF is the latest GDPIPD Index
The Escalation Factor shall use the average of the applicable index calculated to the
nearest fourth decimal point. If the next succeeding decimal place is five (5) or higher,
then the preceding figure shall be raised to the next figure.
The following is a list of Fees that are subjected to this provision for escalation:
1. All Fees described in Exhibit E
5. Change Order Discounts
During the Term of the Contract, all prices paid by Buyer pursuant to a Change Order shall
be discounted at the following rates: (a) discount of ten percent (10%) off of the prices set

Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT
Labor and Materials Contract with Petrelli Electric, Inc. to Provide High Voltage Electric
System Service, Maintenance and Utility Support
Recommendation:
A. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Labor and Materials Contract
with Petrelli Electric, Inc. (Petrelli Electric), in substantially the same form as submitted,
for a five-year term effective July 18, 2022, with an option to extend for an additional five
years after the expiration of the initial term, to provide high voltage electric system
service, maintenance, and utility support to Vernon’s Electric and Fiber Optic Systems;
and
B. Pursuant to Sections 3.32.220(B) and 3.32.110(B)(3) of the Vernon Municipal Code
(VMC), find that it is commercially unreasonable to rebid the proposed contract for high
voltage electric system service, maintenance, and utility support every three years due to
significant risks to the electric system reliability and responsiveness, as well as added
costs to the City and contractor including a steep learning curve in potential frequent
transitions in contracted services.
Background:
The City of Vernon has the benefit of having a locally-owned utility, where the focus and
priority are serving the customers and community within its 5.2-mile jurisdiction. Vernon Public
Utilities (VPU) has a unique customer base where most customers are very large industrial
and commercial companies. Vernon’s average electric baseload is 165 megawatts (MW),
equivalent to a medium-sized community, similar to the size of Pasadena, Glendale, or
Burbank. VPU is the only publicly owned utility in Southern California to offer full utility
services of electric, water, natural gas, and fiber optics. Additionally, the majority of VPU’s
electric transmission and distribution system consists of high voltage lines, in comparison to
most other publicly owned utilities that have a blend of high voltage and low voltage. In order
to provide safe, reliable, and high-quality electric utility services at competitive rates, VPU has
utilized a hybrid model for its electric operations consisting of in-house staff and contracted
services.
Vernon’s business community heavily relies on VPU’s ability to maintain highly reliable and
responsive continual electric services ensuring business productivity around the clock. Taking
into account the size and the 24/7 operations of many of its customers, VPU currently
supplements the electric system maintenance, construction, and emergency restoration
services with contracted services. With the current agreement for these services set to expire
in July of this year, VPU issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and subsequently a
Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals from various qualified contractors to provide
such services. Based on the results of the RFP, staff recommends that the City Council
approve the proposed Labor and Materials Contract with Petrelli Electric.
Petrelli Electric is the City’s current contractor and was selected in May 2012 following an RFP
process for the City’s electric system maintenance. The current contract was established for a
five-year term, with an option to extend another five years upon mutual agreement of the City
and Contractor. The five-year extension is set to expire on July 17, 2022. To avoid any lapse
in this essential service and in accordance with Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) 3.32.080
regarding competitive selection, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for High
Voltage Electric System Service, Maintenance, and Utility Support on November 4, 2021. The
pre-qualification package was advertised on the City's website, the Planet Bids platform, and
directly notified 90 prospective contractors through Planet Bids. Due to the extensive and
comprehensive nature and scope of this work, staff found it prudent to establish a qualified list
of contractors before issuing an RFP.
Interested contractors submitted a standard questionnaire and provided supplemental
background information to demonstrate that they possessed sufficient experience and the
ample resources necessary to work on VPU’s Electric System, including qualified electrical
workers trained to work safely and responsively on energized high voltage systems. A total of
26 contractors downloaded the pre-qualification package as prospective proposers, and 4
submitted a complete package. The four submissions received were deemed qualified, based
on an evaluation matrix of utility experience, training, and safety records, and were placed on
the ‘pre-qualified’ list of contractors. VPU developed the following list of pre-qualified high
voltage electric contractors:
• Henkels & McCoy, Inc.
• Hotline Construction, Inc.
• Parkia, Inc. Engineering & Construction
• Petrelli Electric Co.
Accordingly, on December 16, 2021, VPU issued an RFP to solicit proposals to perform High
Voltage Electric System Service, Maintenance, and Utility Support to the pre-qualified list of
contractors. The scope of work included, but was not limited to, construction of delivery
facilities and infrastructure, high voltage switching, routine maintenance, and inspections, as
well as emergency restoration and repairs to Vernon’s Electric and Fiber Optic Systems. In
addition, VPU staff held outreach efforts, including a pre-proposal meeting with all contractors.
Subsequently, proposal packages were received from each pre-qualified contractor by the
February 16, 2022 deadline.
A qualified panel thoroughly examined each proposal utilizing criteria to measure experience,
work plan, references, and cost. Petrelli Electric demonstrated the highest competence and
most cost-effective approach to assist VPU in service planning, construction, maintenance,
and emergency restoration of the Vernon Electric and Fiber Optic Systems. The proposal
submitted by Petrelli Electric ranked the highest across the panel and was, therefore, deemed
the most qualified. Their proposal was 30% lower than the other bidders, which was
significantly more cost-effective than the three other proposals. Petrelli’s labor cost by
classification represented the most economical approach to satisfy the scope of work.
Additionally, their proposal demonstrated expertise and experience through a comprehensive
approach to the work scope. Petrelli Electric possesses considerable experience in Vernon to
perform a wide array of tasks, including system expansion, capital improvements, and
emergency outage restoration. As noted within this report, Petrelli Electric is acutely aware of
Vernon’s business community and the nature of goods and products produced around the
clock. Oxygen and liquid high-pressure containment that serve hospitals throughout the state,
recycled glass bottling that relies heavily on consistent temperature throughout the
manufacturing process, and cold storage of essential foods imported and exported throughout
the world have benefited from Vernon’s 99.99% electric system availability and quick
restoration. In addition, Petrelli Electric’s workforce has extensive familiarity and knowledge of
the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and Southern California Edison
(SCE) systems, which is critical given that VPU’s Electric system neighbors LADWP and is
connected to SCE.
Petrelli Electric has more than 39 years of experience in the electric utility industry, including
years of exceptional service to Vernon’s Electric and Fiber Optic System. Petrelli Electric is
proven, tested, highly capable, and uniquely qualified to provide the wide-ranging scope of
services in a responsive manner that Vernon customers have come to expect. In addition,
Petrelli Electric has demonstrated consistency and stability with an outstanding safety record
and industry-leading restoration capabilities in the most challenging situations. Petrelli
Electric’s proximity to the City allows for timely restoration on average under an hour for
sustained outages.
Contracting with Petrelli Electric has resulted in outstanding reliability and restoration metrics
for VPU. VPU currently stands at 99.99% electric system availability, an indication of high
reliability which means fewer outages and faster response times. These metrics have
garnered national recognition for system availability and system improvement. Given that high
voltage electric work is considered dangerous and carries significant risks, it is essential that
the crews working on the lines are experienced, skilled, and qualified, and have the necessary
and up-to-date equipment to safely and efficiently work on maintaining and restoring power.
Petrelli Electric has a proven track record in providing an exceptionally skilled staff and crews
working alongside VPU electric operations personnel resulting in a seamless workflow to
provide safe and reliable electric service to all VPU’s electric customers. Moreover,
contracting for these services also supports the City’s objective to reduce pension obligations
while delivering high-quality utility services at competitive rates.
By awarding the proposed contract to Petrelli Electric, VPU can not only continue to serve the
community in a very responsive and dependable manner but at an outstanding value as well.
As such, staff recommends that Petrelli Electric, Inc. be awarded the contract to provide high
voltage electric system service, maintenance, and utility support based on the RFQ and RFP
process results. The proposed Labor and Materials Contract will have a five-year term with an
option to extend an additional five years. Pursuant to Sections 3.32.220(B) and 3.32.110(B)(3)
of the Vernon Municipal Code (VMC), staff recommends the City Council deem the proposed
contract for high voltage electric system service, maintenance, and utility support is
commercially unreasonable to rebid every three years due to significant risks to the electric
system reliability and responsiveness, as well as added costs to the City and contractor
including a steep learning curve in potential frequent transitions in contracted services. The
time and effort it takes VPU to work through the process to select a contractor and the
commitment of a contractor to provide these services to Vernon are comprised of significant
investments in time, personnel, equipment, safety culture, and dedication. The learning curve
involved in becoming familiar with the VPU electric system and the risk to customer
productivity, system reliability, and prompt response to disturbances involved in a potential
transition to a new contractor every three years would be extremely costly.
The proposed contract does not have a fixed financial threshold due to the nature of the work
performed. Each fiscal year VPU determines the maintenance, construction, and capital
improvement projects that will be completed based on an overall evaluation of the
infrastructure as well as projected revenues and expenditures for each fiscal year. The
Electric Enterprise revenues and expenditures are affected by market forces, commodity
pricing, and volatility each fiscal year. It is unreasonable and impractical to identify a specific
amount for the life of the proposed contract based on changing needs and priorities as well as
inflation over the course of the initial contract plus potential extension. VPU has learned that
forces outside of our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic political strife, global
supply chain issues, and the prospect of overseas conflict, can significantly impact the cost of
supplies and equipment associated with this type of work. VPU also believes that some
flexibility is advantageous to help achieve changing priorities and goals such as improved
community aesthetics, customer needs, an evolving business and residential landscape, and
accelerating State climate goals. The compensation under this proposed contract does not
exceed the City Council annually approved and appropriated aggregate amount of the VPU
Electric System generation, transmission, distribution, and fiber optic accounts. All work
performed by the proposed contractor is pre-scheduled, pre-approved, and closely tracked
through a detailed approval and work order system.
The current agreement with Petrelli will expire on July 17, 2022. To avoid a detrimental lapse
in service, the new Labor and Materials Contract with Petrelli will begin July 18, 2022. The
proposed Labor and Materials Contract has been reviewed and approved as to form by the
City Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed Contractor shall not incur costs and expenses exceeding the aggregate amount
of the annual Vernon Public Utilities’ Electric System and Fiber Optic Systems budgets
approved by the Vernon City Council each fiscal year through the budget process.
