c. ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A PURCHASE AND SALE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL AND LORI HEFLER
FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1975 EAST 21ST STREET AND 2107
CHERRY AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
ALL TRANSACTIONAL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE
AGREEMENT; AND APPROPRIATE $1,475,000 FROM THE LAND AND
BUILDING RESERVE FUNDS
Summary:
The City Council will consider approving the purchase of property adjacent to
Signal Hill Park, consistent with the Civic Center Master Plan. In 2024, the
Dickerson Company listed the properties located at 1975 East 21St Street, APN
7215-013-012, and 2107 Cherry Avenue, APN 7215-012-002, for sale on behalf
of the owner Lori J. Helfer. The property owner listed the combined properties
for $1,550,000, which consists of approximately 7,800 square feet adjacent to
Signal Hill Park.
Consistent with the City’s long-term plan for acquiring housing units on the block
of 21st Street adjacent to Signal Hill Park, the City has been negotiating with the
owner to purchase the properties. BBK prepared a draft purchase and sale
agreement (“Agreement”) for the City Council’s review. This action is consistent
with the Civic Center Master Plan, which outlines a vision for expanded public
open space.
Strategic Plan Goal(s):
Goal No. 3 Economic Development: Improve the local economy, support local
businesses, and create a vibrant downtown core.
Goal No. 4 Infrastructure: Maintain and Improve the City’s physical
infrastructure, waste system, and recreational spaces.
Recommendation:
1. Adopt a resolution, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL
HILL, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A PURCHASE AND SALE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL AND LORI
HEFLER FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1975 EAST 21ST
STREET AND 2107 CHERRY AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL TRANSACTIONAL DOCUMENTS
REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE AGREEMENT.
2. Find that approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is not subject to
the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it
is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations (“State CEQA Guidelines”) because it has
no potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the
environment. This action is also exempt under Section 15061(b)(3)
because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement for Purchase and
Sale and Joint Escrow Instructions, and all related instruments, for the
City’s acquisition of 1965/75 East 21st Street and 2107 Cherry Avenue in
the City of Signal Hill.
4. Adopt a resolution to approve a budget adjustment appropriating
$1,475,000 from Fund 111 Land & Building Reserve to cover the cost of
the acquisition; approve a budget adjustment appropriating $1,475,000
transfer from Fund 111 to Fund 400 Capital Project for the purchase
price; and approve a budget adjustment appropriating $1,475,000 from
Capital Outlay for the purchase price, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL
HILL, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE ADOPTED BUDGET AND
AUTHORIZING BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR

b. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 13.04.130 OF THE SIGNAL HILL
MUNICIPAL CODE
Summary:
The City of Signal Hill currently provides water service and collects related
service fees as permitted by California law. While the City’s Municipal Code
authorizes rates to be adopted by resolution, the current Water Service and
Rate structure is set in Title 13 Public Utilities of the Signal Hill Municipal Code,
therefore, changes must be adopted by ordinance. Because adopting an
ordinance takes much more time than adopting a resolution, this creates a
significant delay between adoption of service fees and inclusion of those fees in
the Municipal Code.
Legislative changes effective January 1, 2017, allow public agencies to adopt
new or increased water service fees by resolution under Health and Safety Code
Section 5471. The proposed Ordinance would confirm the City can update water
rates by resolution, while eliminating the requirement of adding water rates to
the Municipal Code. This action will eliminate the need for adoption of an
ordinance in addition to the required resolution, thereby streamlining water rate
setting in compliance with applicable law.
If approved by the City Council, the proposed Ordinance would be introduced
this evening and return for the required Second Reading on May 13, 2025.
Amended Sections 13.04.130(A) and 13.04.130(C) would become effective
June 12, 2025.
Strategic Plan Goal(s):
Goal No. 1 Financial Stability: Ensure the City’s long-term financial stability
and resilience.
Goal No. 4 Infrastructure: Maintain and improve the City’s physical
infrastructure, water system, and recreational spaces.
Goal No. 5 High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication,
recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of City services.
Recommendation:
Adopt the following Ordinance, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 13.04.130(A) AND 13.04.130(C) OF
THE SIGNAL HILL MUNICIPAL CODE TO AUTHORIZE FUTURE RATES FOR
WATER SERVICE FEES TO BE SET BY RESOLUTION, AND FINDING SAID
ACTION EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
