AUTHORIZE RFP: CONSTRUCTION MANAGER SERVICES FOR THE ALHAMBRA COMMUNITY CENTER – F2M25-32, RFP2M25-6 The Alhambra Community Center Project aims to construct a 17,000-square-foot Community Center Building on the existing Health Center site, located on 612 West Shorb Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets. The project will develop 9,000 square feet of adaptive reuse on the western portion of the existing building and construct 8,000 square feet of new building space. The City of Alhambra intends to hire a construction manager for the “CM Multi-Prime” project delivery of the Alhambra Community Center project. The Multi-Prime method differs from a general contractor given that the City contracts directly with multiple, independent prime contractors for various aspects of the project. By doing so, the City can reduce the project's cost. The City will secure the services of a multi-prime construction manager to deliver the Project in a timely and cost-effective manner. The construction manager will provide necessary input related to the project’s constructability, contractor selection, and oversight of the contractor's performance while representing the best interests of the City to ensure a quality, cost-effective project that is completed on schedule and within budget. Sealed Proposals are due no later than 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, 2025 at the Parks and Recreation Department. Recommended Action: City Council authorize staff to circulate a Request for Proposals to contract for Construction Manager Services for the Alhambra Community Center Project; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action. | April 14, 2025 Item #8 | |||

| 20250414 | Item | 5. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE ALHAMBRA CITY COUNCIL AMENDING CHAPTERS 3.36, 3.38, AND 3.40 CONCERNING BIDDING AND CONTRACTING THRESHOLDS DUE TO AMENDMENTS TO CUPCCAA, AND SECTION 9.74.060 CONCERNING FALSE ALARMS – F2M25-16, O2M25-4845 Periodically amendments are needed to the Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”) based upon changes in legislation and issues arising in implementation of the AMC. This ordinance makes amendments to the AMC in two areas. Last Fall the City Council adopted Ordinance No. O2M24-4837 which implements the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (“CUPCCAA”), allowing for more expedited contracting for public works projects. That same ordinance also adjusted the various bidding thresholds throughout the AMC for other types of contracts to make the thresholds uniform across contracts. AB 2192, which went into effect January 1, 2025, increases some of the CUPCCAA thresholds: the $60,000 threshold is raised to $75,000 and the $200,000 threshold is raised to $220,000. An adjustment to these thresholds is necessary to come into compliance with CUPCCAA. Additionally, changes to similar thresholds for other contracts is recommended for consistency, in the same manner that was recommended when Ordinance No. O2M24-2837 was originally adopted. The second recommended area for amendment to the AMC relates to false alarm fees. Under the AMC, after 3 false home alarms within a year, fees are charged for additional responses. The code provides that the Police Chief, may waive those fees. This level of discretion is called out elsewhere in the code, but typically the City Council has reserved such discretion to itself. City staff would recommend deleting the provision providing such discretion to City staff. Recommended Action: City Council consider introducing for first reading Ordinance No O2M25-4845: An Ordinance of the Alhambra City Council amending Chapters 3.36, 3.38, and 3.40 concerning bidding and contracting thresholds due to amendments to CUPCCAA, and Section 9.74.060 concerning false alarms which the Ordinance will return at the next regular meeting for consideration and adoption by the City Council. CONSENT AGENDA (Item Nos. 6 – 21) All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered by the City Council to be routine and will be enacted by one motion unless a citizen or Council member requests otherwise; in which case, the item will be removed for separate consideration. | April 14, 2025 Item #5 | |||
| 20250414 | Item | 7. RESOLUTION APPROVING A REVISED COMPREHENSIVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH THE ALHAMBRA POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION (APOA) – F2M25-2, R2M25-16, C87-16C, M2M25-42 Recruitments to fill vacancies in the position of Police Officer occur on a continuous basis. In the past, City staff and APOA representatives have worked together in an effort to proactively address recruitment and retention matters. Previously, from 2020 to 2023, the City Council approved a temporary overhire of up to five (5) positions due to anticipated retirements and lateral transfers at various ranks. Upon the expiration of the previously agreed upon provision, City staff returned to budgeting two (2) overhires in the position of Police Officer. Most recently, City staff was again informed of expected retirements and lateral transfers within various ranks as a result of the impending retirements. City staff and APOA representatives have met and conferred regarding the language proposed as a temporary provision in the existing APOA Comprehensive MOU and have reached agreement. Authorization to temporarily overhire by an additional two (2) Police Officers, for a total of authorized overhire of four positions in Police Officer, will ensure the Department’s staffing levels remains stable during this time of transition. Recommended Action: City Council adopt Resolution No. R2M25-16 entitled: A Resolution of the Alhambra City Council approving a Revised Comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Alhambra and the Alhambra Police Officers’ Association that includes a provision for a temporary increase and overhire of Police Officers for a limited duration within the existing MOU contract period; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.

A Zoning Map Amendment AMD-25-01 and General Plan Map Amendment AMD-25-02 are also requested to amend the City of Alhambra Official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map, respectively, to address inconsistencies, mapping errors, and prior recommendations of the Planning Commission. This Zoning Code clean-up includes both proposed amendments and additions. Proposed amendments consist of revisions to existing sections of the Alhambra Municipal Code (AMC), while the proposed additions would incorporate entirely new sections into the AMC. The nature of and reasoning for each proposed amendment and addition can be classified by five general categories: 1.) Clarification; 2.) Consistency; 3.) Compliance with State laws/Federal laws; 4.) Typographical & Formatting; and 5.) Use Allowances & Regulations. Some of the proposed amendments and additions are a combination of these five categories. For example, the section on Accessory Dwelling Units is proposed to be amended to comply with State law, clarify applicable development standards, and impose new regulations pertaining to the Accessory Dwelling Unit uses. Similarly, the addition of a new section identifying specific standards for Firearms Sales uses will impose new use regulations and will be consistent with Urgency Ordinance No. O2M23-4818, which directed staff to provide the City Council with options for additional regulations for such uses. In Attachment 1 of the staff report for this item, each proposed amendment and addition is briefly described in a table, which includes a breakdown of the categories applicable to each amendment or addition. At their March 17, 2025 regular meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments and additions in Ordinance No. O2M25-4844 and Resolution No. R2M25- 18, and adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 25-02 (Attachment 5 of the staff report) by a vote of 9-0 (Commissioner Mojarro was absent), recommending the City Council approve Zoning Text Amendment AMD-24-02, Zoning Map Amendment AMD-25- 01, and General Plan Map Amendment AMD-25-02, with four minor revisions to the Zoning Text Amendment. The minor revisions recommended by the Planning Commission are listed in Planning Commission Resolution No. 25-02 and have been incorporated into Ordinance No. O2M25-4844. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of this Ordinance and City Council Resolution under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). This Ordinance and City Council Resolution is not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there is no possibility that this Ordinance or City Council Resolution will have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance and City Council Resolution, by itself, do not constitute a “project” as defined in section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance and City Council Resolution may have a significant effect on the environment. Recommended Action: City Council: 1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public testimony; 2. Determine which of the Planning Commission’s recommendations to include and direct the City Attorney to introduce and give first reading by title only, waiving further reading to the following ordinance entitled: Ordinance No. O2M25-4844: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA ADOPTING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AMD-24-02, AMENDING THE ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADDRESS NEW STATE LAWS, ELIMINATE INCONSISTENCIES, CLARIFY AMBIGUOUS PROVISIONS, CORRECT TYPOGRAPHICAL AND FORMATTING ERRORS, AND MODIFY USE ALLOWANCES, AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT AMD-25-01, AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA OFFICIAL ZONING MAP which ordinance shall return for a second reading and adoption at the next City Council meeting on April 28, 2025; 3.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION CERTIFYING AN EIR, INCLUDING THE RESPONSE TO COMMENTS; ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT AND A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS; APPROVING THE MMRP; APPROVING THE COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT ON THE SITE OF THE FORMER HEALTH CLINIC ON SHORB STREET BETWEEN 6TH AND 7TH STREETS, LOCATED AT 612 WEST SHORB STREET ON A SITE OF 1.77 ACRES; AND APPROVING A PARCEL MAP FOR THE PROJECT, INCLUDING A VACATION OF A PORTION OF SHORB STREET, LOCATED BETWEEN 6TH AND 7TH STREETS AND DIRECTING ISSUANCE OF A NOTICE INVITING BIDS – F2M22-65, N2M25-8, R2M25-4 This is the time and place set by Notice No. N2M25-8 for the City Council to hold a public hearing to consider approval of the Alhambra Community Center Project at a 1.77- acre site located at 612 West Shorb Street, between 6th and 7th streets. Approval of the Project includes approval of a parcel map, aggregating lots and vacating Shorb Street between 6th and 7th to facilitate the Project. The Council will consider certification of an EIR for the project, including the associated response to comments, mitigation monitoring and reporting program, findings and statement of overriding considerations. The City of Alhambra is the owner of the Property located at 612 West Shorb Street, located between 6th and 7th streets. The Property is the site of a historic building that was formerly a health clinic, but which has been vacant for decades. In 2020 the City Council began imagining a use for the Property, and determined that construction of a community center on the site would provide a much-needed amenity for the local neighborhood, as well as the City of Alhambra at large. Unfortunately, the City did not have funding for such a project at that time. In April 2023, the City received a grant from the State for construction of a community center in the amount of 25 million dollars, thanks to the efforts and State Assemblymember Mike Fong. The City then retained an architect, project manager and environmental consultant to prepare designs for consideration by the City Council and Alhambra community. The Council held public meetings to consider design options on October 25, 2023 (on site), March 11, 2024 and June 18, 2024. Approval of the project requires an environmental evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act. Options were included in the project studied in the event that additional funding became available during the processing of the project, ranging from 17,000 square feet, up to 25,000 square feet. Currently, the City projects the current available funding would be sufficient to construct the 17,000 square foot project, but the project will be designed to enable additions if funding becomes available in future years. The City determined that it would prepare a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15082, the City circulated a Notice of Preparation (NOP) together with the Initial Study to State, regional, and local agencies, interested organizations, and members of the public for a 30-day period, commencing May 28, 2024, and ending June 27, 2024. Based on public input and the results of the Initial Study, the Draft EIR addresses environmental effects in the following areas: Biological Resources (special-status species and the movement of wildlife species), Cultural Resources (historic and archaeological resources), Geology and Soils (paleontological resources), Noise (all except airport land use plan, private airstrip), and Tribal Cultural Resources. The Draft EIR determined that impacts to biological resources, archaeological resources, paleontological resources, noise and vibration, and tribal cultural resources would be less than significant with the incorporation of mitigation measures. Additionally, the current Property to be utilized for the Project is comprised of multiple parcels. The California Building Code prohibits construction of buildings across lot lines. Further, the Project also contemplates construction within the existing Shorb Street right-of-way, between 6th and 7th streets. The Subdivision Map Act allows these parcels to be joined into one lot to allow for construction of the project if the Council approves a parcel map for the site. Finally, the next step in the progress of the Project is to direct staff and the City’s consultants to prepare a Notice Inviting Bids for the 17,000 square foot Project. The proposed resolution directs staff to do so, and return to Council with a proposed award of contract for construction. The Project is described at length in the Final EIR document (comprised of the Draft EIR, written comments, responses to comments, and minor revisions/clarifications to the Draft EIR and the MMRP), are available through the City of Alhambra’s website here: https://www.cityofalhambra.org/743/Alhambra-Community-Center-Project. Recommended Action: City Council conduct a public hearing and thereafter adopt Resolution No. R2M25-4 entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA CERTIFYING AN EIR, INCLUDING THE RESPONSE TO COMMENTS; ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT AND A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS; APPROVING THE MMRP; APPROVING THE COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT ON THE SITE OF THE FORMER HEALTH CLINIC ON SHORB STREET BETWEEN 6TH AND 7TH STREETS, LOCATED AT 612 WEST SHORB STREET ON A SITE OF 1.77 ACRES; AND APPROVING A PARCEL MAP FOR THE PROJECT, INCLUDING A VACATION OF A PORTION OF SHORB STREET, LOCATED BETWEEN 6TH AND 7TH STREETS AND DIRECTING ISSUANCE OF A NOTICE INVITING BIDS PRESENTATIONS | January 27, 2025 Item #3 | |||

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), Ordinance No. 952 has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

The development agreement would ensure vested development rights in exchange for community benefits dedicated to revenue for youth programs, housing and homelessness issues, and other discretionary items. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council conduct a second reading of Ordinance No. 952 and adopt the ordinance, which would permit a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for an initial five (5)-year term, subject to an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, for a total 10-year term.

Tate III Trust relating to the property located at 6638 Eastern Avenue in the City of Bell Gardens RECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 952, by title only, to approve the proposed Development Agreement No. 2024-048 for a cannabis retail storefront at 6638 Eastern Avenue. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), Ordinance No. 952 has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). The Project would authorize a cannabis retail use within an already existing commercial structure, inclusive of tenant improvements, to support a new commercial use for up to 10 years. No additional floor area is proposed. Additionally, a cannabis retail use has similar impacts as other typical commercial uses and would be subject to the same or more restrictive development and operating standards as other commercial uses. This Project would comply with building, energy efficiency, and land use and development standard provisions. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. CONCLUSION: The DA is designed to facilitate ongoing communication and collaboration between the Applicant, who would be the licensee, and the local community addressing concerns and ensuring the retail storefront aligns with community values and interests by requiring the Applicant to submit evidence of compliance with all terms and conditions to the City on an annual basis. Balance would be promoted with the operational flexibility built into the DA addressing unforeseen challenges or changes in circumstances, allowing for adjustments as needed through City Council approval. Compliance with the DA and its terms and conditions will be subject to an annual review, whereby if the City determines that the Applicant is in noncompliance status with the DA, the City may modify or terminate the DA. Adoption of Ordinance No. 952 and the execution of the proposed DA would ensure vested development rights in exchange for community benefits dedicated to revenue for youth programs, housing and homelessness issues, and other discretionary items. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed Development Agreement, which would permit a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for an initial five (5)-year term, subject to an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, for a total 10-year term. FISCAL IMPACT: If Ordinance No. 952 is approved, the Applicant would be required to make an up-front payment of $100,000 upon the effective date of the DA and renew the contribution annually following the execution of the DA, every January (Annual Community Benefit). The Applicant would also be required to make quarterly contributions equal to seven percent (7%) of gross receipts (Quarterly Community Benefit). Pursuant to the DA terms, 80 percent (80%) of these funds would be dedicated to the City’s youth and recreational programming and the City’s housing programs. Under the DA, the Applicant would also be responsible for the cost of staff time spent on the negotiation and preparation of a development agreement and monitoring activities to ensure compliance with the DA, CUP, BGMC, and other applicable laws and regulations.

| 20250324 | Order of Business 11 | 11.9 Consideration of a Resolution to Consent and Submit the 2024 Bell Gardens General Plan Annual Progress Report to the State of California RECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving and consenting to the submission of the 2024 Bell Gardens General Plan Annual Progress Report to the State of California. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Guidelines Section No. 15306 (Class 6, Information Collection), this report is categorically exempt from the application of CEQA. Class 6 consists of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. Categorical exemptions are for projects that have been determined to not have a significant effect on the environment, and as this report is solely for the purpose of information sharing, the collection of information is exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documentation. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the City Council accept the APR by adopting a resolution to consent to the APR’s submission to the California OPR and HCD. FISCAL IMPACT: None.

Determine the action exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3); and 2. Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City and WSP USA Inc. (WSP; formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc.). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Guidelines Section No. 15060(c)(3), this report is categorically exempt as organizational or administrative activities of governments since no direct or indirect physical changes in the environment would result and the activity is not defined as a project. CONCLUSION: WSP has provided valuable consulting services to the City and has a deep understanding of the historical and proposed Site activity. Based on their work to date, and the additional work and testing required to continue helping the City coordinate the physical remediation of the Site, staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution approving a Second Amendment to the Master Professional Services Agreement with WSP. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the Second Amendment would have no fiscal impact to the City since Site hazardous waste cleanup activities are funded in full by the ECRG.

Receive and file the staff report; or 2. Provide direction on the options under consideration to move the project forward. CONCLUSION: Staff continues to pursue construction funding from the State and federal agencies. At this time, construction funding is not secured. Engineering staff recommends turning the well back on due to the continuing debt increases due to the purchase of MWD water, while continuing to prepare the construction documents to construct the IX PFAS Treatment Plant along with the new Water Rate study. FISCAL IMPACT: As part of Amendment No. 2, staff secured grant funding for the design of the IX PFAS Treatment Plant. Continuing with the purchase of MWD water would result in an annual cost of approximately $1.5 million. Turning the well back on in lieu of purchasing MWD water would result in an annual cost of approximately $475,200, a difference of $1,024,800.

| 20250310 | Order of Business 6 | 6.1 Consideration of Ordinance No. 952 to Authorize a Development Agreement by and between The City of Bell Gardens, Flora Hospitality Group, LLC and James N. Tate III Trust Relating to the Property located at 6638 Eastern Avenue in the City of Bell Gardens (MECCA) RECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 952, by title only, to approve the proposed Development Agreement (DA) No. 2024-048 for a cannabis retail storefront at 6638 Eastern Avenue. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), Ordinance No. 952 has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). The Project would authorize a cannabis retail use within an already existing commercial structure, inclusive of tenant improvements, to support a new commercial use for up to 10 years. No additional floor area is proposed. Additionally, a cannabis retail use has similar impacts as other typical commercial uses and would be subject to the same or more restrictive development and operating standards as other commercial uses. This Project would comply with building, energy efficiency, and land use and development standard provisions. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. CONCLUSION: The DA is designed to facilitate ongoing communication and collaboration between the Applicant and the local community, addressing concerns and ensuring the retail storefront aligns with community values and interests by requiring the Applicant to submit evidence of compliance with all terms and conditions to the City on an annual basis. Balance would be promoted with the operational flexibility built into the DA addressing unforeseen challenges or changes in circumstances, allowing for adjustments as needed through City Council approval. Compliance with the DA and its terms and conditions will be subject to an annual review, whereby if the City determines that the Applicant is in noncompliance status with the DA, the City may modify or terminate the DA. Adoption of Ordinance No. 952 and the execution of the proposed DA would ensure vested development rights in exchange for community benefits dedicated to revenue for youth programs, housing and homelessness issues, and other discretionary items. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed development agreement and adoption of Ordinance No. 952, which would permit a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for an initial five (5)-year term, subject to an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, for a total 10-year term. FISCAL IMPACT: If Ordinance No. 952 is adopted, the Applicant would be required to make an up-front payment of $100,000 upon the effective date of the DA and renew the contribution annually following the execution of the DA, every January (Annual Community Benefit). The Applicant would also be required to make quarterly contributions equal to seven percent (7%) of gross receipts (Quarterly Community Benefit). Pursuant to the DA terms, 80% of these funds would be dedicated to the City’s youth and recreational programming and the City’s housing programs. Under the DA, the Applicant would also be responsible for the cost of staff time spent on the negotiation and preparation of a development agreement and monitoring activities to ensure compliance with the DA, CUP, BGMC, and other applicable laws and regulations.

CONCLUSION: Approving a Second Amendment to the Agreement would enable Ardurra to provide the necessary additional construction management, inspection, and soils and materials testing services necessary to complete the Project.

With no street parking nearby, attendees often park in surrounding areas, including private business lots and undeveloped parcels near the stadium. Until construction begins, the City is looking to partner with Antelope Valley Soccer, LLC to allow parking on city owned lots near the stadium. Since these lots have been informally used for parking in the past, this agreement would provide a structured approach that will generate revenue while ensuring there is appropriate and adequate insurance coverage. | April 08, 2025 Consent Calendar #15 | |||

REAUTHORIZE $6.9 million in MICLA authority included in the 2024-25 Adopted Budget to fund the Washington Yard Electrification and Microgrid project. (Item U). 5.

AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections, as necessary, to the transactions authorized through this report, as required to implement the intent of those transactions. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations contained in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File, include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures totaling $21.74 million. This consists of $8.89 million from various special funds, $7.98 million in MICLA funds, $4.64 million in CTIEP funds, and $0.23 million from the General Fund. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no additional General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of these recommendations. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations contained in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File, comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational needs in the current budget year. Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The proposed MICLA funds for the capital projects indicated in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File, (Items A, E, L, N, O, U, X, AA, CC, II, JJ, MM, and QQ) would cause the City to borrow $14,712,568 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the MICLA-financed projects is $24,622,763, including interest of approximately $9,910,195. The estimated average annual debt service is $1,231,143 over a period of 20 years. The proposed MICLA funds for the installation of fire equipment onto fire vehicles (Item KK) would cause the City to borrow $200,000 at an approximate five- and-a-half percent interest rate over a period of 10 years. The total estimated debt service for the MICLA-financed equipment project is $265,336, including interest of approximately $65,336. The estimated average annual debt service is $26,534 over a period of 10 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide the evaluation of the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non- voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is six percent. The 2024-25 non-voter-approved debt service ratio is 2.63 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter-approved debt limit. | April 09, 2025 Item #9 | |||

A. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT Recommendations for Council action: 1. INSTRUCT the Board of Public Works’ Bureaus to report to Council on the equity framework currently used for selection and implementation of services and their plan to incorporate the Department of City Planning (DCP) Community Health and Equity (CHE) Index into project prioritization and resource allocation. 2. DIRECT each of the Bureaus of the Department of Public Works, the DCP, and any other relevant agencies, to report on the programs they manage that achieve transportation outcomes, how those programs currently incorporate equity into their work plans, and how the CHE Index can be adopted into those programs, if they are not already, so that the City of Los Angeles is using one definition of areal equity measurement for achieving transportation goals. 3. DIRECT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to report to Council with an overview of additional criteria if uses to prioritize projects to achieve specific programmatic goals and understand travel patterns for communities of concern, including but not limited to how the (LADOT) incorporates transit ridership, boardings and alightings by line; crash data; prevailing speeds; density of jobs and proximity to job centers on specific corridors; and regional transportation gaps into its program and project planning. The report should include any data sets that would further allow the LADOT to consider and address the travel patterns of communities of concern in Los Angeles, as well as help close transportation gaps to regionally-important destinations and along regionally-important corridors.

Remove 13.04.176 – Stranded investment surcharge. Recommendation of the Municipal Services Committee (MSC): On February 11, 2025, the MSC approved the staff recommendation to direct the City Attorney’s Office to prepare an ordinance to amend PMC 13.04; the code change would create a working capital reserve target policy. Staff received guidance to also create a minimum level for reserves to establish the point at which reserve levels would be detrimental to the operations of the utility. The basis for a minimum is recommended to be 60 days, as compared to 90 days for the target, for liquidity reserve for operating expenses (2) the market reserve category, and (3) the contingency risk category. Given that the current minimum reserve level within the City’s Fund Balance Reserve Policy for the Light and Power Fund is 60 days of operating expenses, this recommendation is consistent with adopted policy. The revision to the code would also acknowledge that there are many other risks that the utility faces that require sufficient working capital in a rapidly changing industry and world City Council | February 24, 2025 Item #5 | |||

Accept Completed Improvements and Authorize Filing of a Notice of Completion for City Project No. 41026 – Rosemead Park Restroom Renovations On November 12, 2024, the City Council approved the award of a construction contract to Bridgerock Construction, Inc. The total construction budget for the project, which included a 10% construction contingency, was $ 284, 680. 00. The project involved the renovation of deteriorated structures including installation of ADA- compliant fixtures, restroom stalls, plumbing upgrades, interior surface modifications, and lighting improvements. During construction, several change orders were necessary due to unforeseen adjustments to an existing concrete masonry wall and the actual thickness of the existing concrete slab flooring that were not shown on the project plans. All contractual items, including the unforeseen change order, have been completed and accepted by city staff as substantially complete and the restrooms have been reopened to the public. However, after reopening, staff requested additional work to address a couple of maintenance concerns. These include closing an opening above the main gates that allows unauthorized access to the restrooms and modifying the flooring surface to reduce slipping. Notably, these additional tasks do not impact the project’ s completion date. Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions: 1. Accept the substantial project completion for the Rosemead Park Restroom Renovation Adjacent to Aquatic Center – City Project No. 41026 as performed by Bridgerock Construction, Inc. with the final contract amount of $275,890.44; and 2.

The General Services Agreement allows the City to obtain “as-needed time-limited” services through the County.

| 20250311 | Order of Business 4 | E. Amendment to the Mission Drive Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon System Contract — Project No. 24013 On March 12, 2024, the City Council approved a one- year construction contract with Calpromax Engineering, Inc., for the Mission Drive Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon System Project — Project No. 24013. This project involves furnishing and installing a pedestrian hybrid beacon system, including the installation of traffic signal poles, communication conduits, a controller cabinet, the removal and replacement of roadway pavement, and the signing and striping of the crosswalk that spans Mission Drive. However, the project' s completion has been delayed due to long -lead time items such as the procurement and preparation of timing sheets by Los Angeles County Public Works. All major signal components are now installed. The next phase involves Southern California Edison ( SCE) energizing the service pedestal to test and confirm the hybrid beacon system' s functionality. The contract with Calpromax Engineering, Inc., expires on March 12, 2025. To ensure project completion, staff is requesting a four -month contract extension. Although most heavy construction is complete, the extension allows SCE, who often provides longer -than -expected wait times for energization, and staff to address punch -list items and close out the project. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign and execute an amendment to the construction contract with Calpromax Engineering, Inc., for the Mission Drive Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon System Project to extend the contract through July 11, 2025. | March 11, 2025 Order of Business 4 #E | |||

| 20250318 | Order of Business 7 | B. AUTHORIZATION OF TEMPORARY POLICE STAFFING INCREASE AND ADDITION OF HUMAN RESOURCE SPECIALIST POSITION TO THE DEPARTMENT’S AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL [RESOLUTION NO. 25-12] The Police Department is allotted 54 sworn officers. Due to projected vacancies within the coming months, the San Gabriel Police Department seeks approval to temporarily increase the number of sworn officers to 59. The temporary increase in staffing will allow for continuity as employees separate from the organization. In addition, the Police Department requests to increase its professional staffing level to include one Human Resources Specialist, who will be assigned to the Recruitment, Training, and Equipment Bureau, replacing the need for a sworn officer to staff this position. The estimated cost of a newly- hired sworn officer, including salary and benefits, is approximately $125,000. The total cost for five sworn officers would be $625,000. The cost for a Human Resources Specialist position ranges from $90,400 to $103,500, depending on the employee’s step placement. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Recommended Action: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-12 authorizing the City Manager and the Human Resources Director to temporarily over-hire 5 police officers and to add a Human Resources Specialist to the Police Department’s staffing. | March 18, 2025 Order of Business 7 #B | |||

| 20250304 | Order of Business 4 | F. ORDINANCE NO. 718: AMENDING TITLE XI (BUSINESS REGULATIONS) TO ADD CHAPTER 127 OF THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SIDEWALK VENDING AND AMENDING TITLE VII (TRAFFIC CODE) TO AMEND SECTION 72.012 RELATING TO PARKING BY PEDDLERS AND VENDORS (CA25-001) – SECOND READING AND ADOPTION In 2018 and 2022, the State passed Senate Bills 946 and 972, respectively, legalizing sidewalk vending with limited government regulations. Government Code Sections 51038 and 51039 prohibit cities and counties from adopting regulations that restrict the number of overall vendors from certain consents and approvals, and restrict the location for sidewalk vending. Cities may only adopt restrictions if such activities are found to include health, safety, or welfare concerns. The proposed Code Amendment (CA) would add Chapter 127 of the San Gabriel Municipal Code (SGMC) relating to sidewalk vending and amend SGMC Section 72.012 relating to parking by peddlers and vendors. The Ordinance would become effective 30 days after adoption. The Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Adopted Budget includes the cost for required legal publication (Account No. 121- 702-00-65-000) and codification (Account No. 121-702-00-22-000) of the ordinance. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed Code Amendment is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because it is covered by the commonsense exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment would have a significant effect on the environment, therefore it is not subject to CEQA. Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council waive reading and adopt Ordinance No. 718 entitled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Gabriel, California, adding Title XI (Business Regulations) Chapter 127 (Sidewalk Vending) Relating to Sidewalk Vending and Amending Title VII (Traffic Code), Chapter 72 (Stopping, Standing, and Parking), Section 72.012 Relating to Parking by Peddlers and Vendors.” | March 04, 2025 Order of Business 4 #F | |||

FEE WAIVER REQUESTS BY SAN GABRIEL LION’S CLUB – THANKS USA CARE FAIR AND THE OLYMPIA PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY – FREE COMMUNITY CONCERT TOTALING $5,025 IN FEE WAIVERS FOR USE OF THE MISSION PLAYHOUSE The City of San Gabriel receives fee waiver requests for events hosted at the Mission Playhouse each year. To account for Mission Playhouse fee waivers, the City Council allocates funds to the rental subsidy account. In recent years, the allocations have been sufficient for the requests received. However, given the volume and magnitude of the requests staff has received and anticipates receiving within the current fiscal year, the current allocations of $10,000 may not be sufficient to cover all anticipated fee waiver requests. The City has budgeted $10,000 in its annual Rental Subsidy account, account #152-3532, for fiscal year 2024-2025 from which the waivers would be charged. The current balance is $4,117. Should the City Council approve staff’s recommendation the remaining balance would be $858. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council grant a partial waiver of the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse rental costs for the Thanks USA and free Philharmonic Community Concert events, in the amounts of $2,650 and $2,150, respectively. | March 04, 2025 Order of Business 7 #A | |||

With this round of funding, the state will award over $90 million in competitive grants for the creation of new parks and rehabilitation of existing parks and recreation opportunities in proximity to the most critically underserved communities across California. The City intends to apply for ORLP funding for the renovation of Smith Park. Adoption of Resolution No. 25-09 will appropriate $20,000 from Development Impact Fees into account #124-850-40-96-813 to cover the various fees for the grant proposal development. Finance staff has confirmed that there are adequate Development Impact funds to cover these expenditures. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: According to the grant application guidelines, CEQA compliance does not have to be completed as part of the grant application. However, the application must include a plan for CEQA compliance in the event the grant is awarded. Should the grant be awarded to the City, Planning Division staff would assist Community Services with the preparation of the relevant CEQA documents based on the final scope of work for the Smith Park renovation project. Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Authorization to Proceed with Dahlin Group for assistance in the preparation of the Grant Proposal. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 25-07 approving the City’s application for grant funds through the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) Grant Program. 3.

ORDINANCE NO. 717: AMENDING CHAPTER 153 OF THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO DEFINITIONS (ZTA24-005) – SECOND READING AND ADOPTION Section 153.003 of the San Gabriel Municipal Code (SGMC) provides definitions for terms used throughout the Zoning Code to create consistency in the application of those terms when considering development standards and permitted uses. Due to changes in housing trends, new businesses, and a lack of definitions for terms found in the Zoning Code, staff is proposing this text amendment to improve the understanding and interpretation of zoning regulations. Ordinance No. 717 was approved at introduction by a 5-0 vote of the City Council at the January 21, 2025, City Council Meeting. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed Zone Text Amendment is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because it is covered by the common-sense exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment would have a significant effect on the environment, therefore it is not subject to CEQA.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1.

This would be consistent with the San Gabriel Municipal Code Section 34.35 C, which exempts certain specialty items from the normal procurement policies. 2. Accept the donation of $400 from the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors revolving fund into Donation Account #173-3920 and increase appropriations in Community Services expenditures account #173-850-18- 23-048 for the same amount. 3.

| 20250121 | Order of Business 5 | B. ORDINANCE NO. 717 AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 153 OF THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO DEFINITIONS (ZTA24-005) – INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING Section 153.003 of the San Gabriel Municipal Code (SGMC) provides definitions for terms used throughout the Zoning Code to create consistency in the application of those terms when considering development standards and permitted uses. Due to changes in housing trends, new businesses, and a lack of definitions for terms found in the Zoning Code, staff is proposing this text amendment to improve the understanding and interpretation of zoning regulations. Prior to drafting the new definitions, staff created a list of terms that are not currently found in Section 153.003 of the SGMC and surveyed nearby cities to gain an understanding of how those terms are defined in surrounding areas. Using this information, staff has drafted definitions that are tailored to San Gabriel and applicable to several sections of the Zoning Code. The Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Adopted Budget includes the cost for required legal publication (Account #121-702-00-65-000) and codification (Account #121- 702-00-22-000) of the ordinance, if adopted by the City Council. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed Zone Text Amendment is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because it is covered by the common-sense exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment would have a significant effect on the environment, therefore it is not subject to CEQA. Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Conduct the public hearing and discuss proposed Ordinance No. 717; 2. Waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 717 by title only: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN GABRIEL, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 153 (ZONING CODE) OF THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO DEFINITIONS 3. Waive future reading of the Ordinance and schedule the second reading and adoption of the Ordinance for the next regular City Council meeting. The Ordinance would then become effective 30 days after adoption. OTHER OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION The action of the City Council may be to approve, approve with modifications, or deny the proposed zone text amendment. If the City Council determines that the proposed ordinance or any part of the ordinance should be denied, the appropriate motion should be adopted. | January 21, 2025 Order of Business 5 #B | |||
| 20250121 | Order of Business 7 | A. SIDEWALK VENDING AND POTENTIAL REGULATIONS DISCUSSION In 2018 and 2022, the State passed Senate Bills 946 and 972, respectively, legalizing sidewalk vending with limited government regulations. Government Code Sections 51038 and 51039 prohibits cities and counties from adopting regulations that restrict sidewalk vendors from certain consent and approvals, and restrict the location for sidewalk vending. Cities may only adopt restrictions if such activities are found to include health, safety, or welfare concerns. There are no known fiscal impacts for this project. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council discuss the matter of sidewalk vending and direct staff to proceed with a Zone Text Amendment to provide regulations for sidewalk vending. The City Council may direct staff to draft an ordinance that addresses specific regulations consistent with Senate Bill 946. | January 21, 2025 Order of Business 7 #A | |||
| 20250121 | Order of Business 5 | A. ORDINANCE NO. 716 AMENDING CHAPTER 153 OF THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO HEDGE HEIGHTS IN THE RESIDENTIAL ZONES (ZTA24-004) – INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING At the July 2, 2024, City Council meeting, a comment was provided for the City to consider reviewing its hedge height regulations in the residential zones to either allow for additional heights or to not regulate hedge heights. At the meeting, the City Council voted to place the matter on an agenda for future discussion. On September 17, 2024, the City Council discussed the matter and directed staff to return with an ordinance to remove height limits in the residential zones and maintain maintenance requirements per San Gabriel Municipal Code (SGMC) Section 98.02. The City Council observed the hedge height inconsistencies existing throughout the City and agreed that good maintenance is more important than height. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed amendments were reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA, per Guidelines Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Accessory structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences). Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Conduct the public hearing and discuss proposed Ordinance No. 716; 2. Waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 716 by title only: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN GABRIEL, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 153 (ZONING CODE) OF THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO HEDGE HEIGHTS IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES 3. Waive future reading of the Ordinance and schedule the second reading and adoption of the Ordinance for the next regular City Council meeting. The Ordinance would then become effective 30 days after adoption. OTHER OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION The action of the City Council may be to approve, approve with modifications or deny the proposed zone text amendment.

| 20250422 | Order of Business 11 | 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 ACT. | April 22, 2025 Order of Business 11 #b | |||
| 20250422 | Order of Business 11 | 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 2024-25. | April 22, 2025 Order of Business 11 #c | |||

OPPORTUNITY STUDY AREAS ECONOMIC STUDY FINDINGS Summary: Earlier this year, the City Council authorized staff to issue a Request for Proposals to select a qualified professional planning firm to undertake a comprehensive economic and land use study for three areas of the community, known as Opportunity Study Areas. Broadly defined, the purpose of the study is to assess future land use opportunities that will allow the City to grow economically, create jobs, and diversify the City’s tax basis for several years. After a comprehensive and competitive process, the City Council awarded a contract to PlaceWorks, to prepare an economic and land use analysis associated with the Opportunity Study Area Project. PlaceWorks will present an update on its progress to the City Council, providing key insights into the economic analysis and preliminary findings. This presentation will offer an opportunity for the City Council and the community to learn more about potential land use strategies that support economic growth and long-term sustainability in Signal Hill. Using the economic study as a basis, staff is requesting additional policy direction from the City Council regarding the next phases in the project which would include developing overlay zones, creating new development standards, exploring opportunities for infrastructure improvements, and initiating a selection process to undertake the required environmental studies to facilitate future development. Strategic Plan Goal(s): Goal No. 1 Financial Stability: Ensure the City’s long-term financial stability and resilience. Goal No. 3 Economic & Downtown Development: Improve the local economy, support local businesses, and create a vibrant downtown core.

| 20250325 | Order of Business 11 | c. CONFIRMATION OF PROPOSED RATES FOR WATER DELIVERED THROUGH THE CITY’S DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND OUTLINE OF PROPOSITION 218 PROCESS Summary: The 2023-2028 City of Signal Hill Strategic Plan identifies updating the Water Master Plan (WMP) and Water Rate Study (RS) as key initiatives for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The WMP evaluates the City's water infrastructure, identifies deficiencies, and outlines a plan for necessary improvements. The RS conducts a comprehensive rate analysis, establishing a sustainable and equitable five-year tiered rate structure that integrates public engagement and City Council recommendations. In December 2023, the City entered into a professional services agreement with Dudek to assist in preparing the WMP & RS. City staff collaborated with Dudek and its subconsultant, Raftelis, to evaluate water system operations, assess financial needs, and develop recommendations. On December 10, 2024, the City Council appointed a Water Rate Subcommittee to review the WMP, assess Capital Improvement Projects, evaluate rate structures, and analyze the reserve policy. During the Subcommittee Meeting on January 27, 2025, members reviewed the Water Division’s current and projected costs, considering the financial impact of infrastructure improvements and ongoing operational expenses. After evaluating three rate structure options, the Subcommittee selected the Self-Funded option as the most viable. This option includes a 15 percent rate increase in the first two years, 14 percent in the third and fourth years, and 10 percent in the fifth year, ensuring sufficient funding for capital projects, debt repayment, and financial reserves to address consumption fluctuations and economic uncertainties. The proposed rate adjustment is driven by high-priority Capital Improvement Projects, many of which are required to meet state-mandated regulations. Additionally, revenue losses resulting from water conservation efforts have impacted the Water Division’s financial stability, making a structured rate increase necessary. On February 27, 2025, the Public Works Department presented the findings of the WMP & RS in a public workshop, outlining the three rate adjustment options reviewed by the Subcommittee. After considering the financial implications and public input, the City Council directed staff to proceed with the Self-Funded option as the preferred rate adjustment plan. The recommended rate adjustment ensures that the Water Division can fully fund its operating expenses, capital projects, reserves, and debt service obligations over the next five years without issuing additional debt. Following a community workshop on March 10, 2025, staff proposes implementing the recommended rate adjustments beginning in Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The proposed changes require amendments to Signal Hill Municipal Code Section 13.04.130 and confirmation to initiate a Proposition 218 Protest Hearing. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed rate adjustments and authorize the necessary actions for implementation. 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: 1. Confirm the recommended water rate adjustments of 15% in FY 2025-26, 15% in FY 2026-27, 14% in FY 2027-28, 14% in FY 2028-29, and 10% in FY 2029-30. 2.

The PMP serves as a guiding framework to prioritize the maintenance of approximately 35 miles of City streets. The PMP provides recommendations to enhance the overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which measures pavement quality on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 representing the best condition. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City finalized plans and specifications for the California Avenue Improvements Project. This project involves removing and reconstructing approximately 44,640 square feet of pavement along California Avenue, from Spring Street to 28th Street, with pavement removal depths ranging from 4 to 22.5 inches.

PROPOSED REGULATIONS AMENDING THE CITY’S MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW FOR THE SALE OF FIREWORKS Summary: At the February 25, 2025, City Council meeting, the City Council provided direction to staff to place on a future agenda an item related to allowing the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks. Specifically, the City Council expressed interest in allowing fireworks stands as a fundraising vehicle for local nonprofit organizations. The purpose of this staff report is to present the City Council with a framework for allowing the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks, including a review of various issues that require further direction from the City Council.

Many households own several cars, of which, some are being stored on the public street. Stored vehicles are vehicles that get moved once a week for street sweep, and are parked again until the next street sweep. In order to minimize the burden on the public street, the city should require that no more than two vehicles be stored on the public street. | April 15, 2025 Order of Business 12 #b | |||

| 20250225 | Item | 2. Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend a Zoning Code and an Appeal of the Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to Allow the Sales of Alcohol for On-site Consumption Following the conclusion of the Public Hearing, it is recommended that the City Council: (CD) a. Determine that the proposed text amendment is exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated there under (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”), because it consists of only minor text revisions and clarifications to existing zoning regulations and procedures related thereto, and will not have the effect of substantially changing regulatory standards or findings required. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA, the proposed text amendment is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because the activity is governed by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. In this case, the proposed text amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment. Furthermore, determine that in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, (Class 1) “Existing Facilities”, in that the project will not result in any alterations or expansion to the existing buildings within the project site. b. Introduce an Ordinance, waive further reading and read by title only: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 11.21 (LAND USE TYPES) OF TITLE 11 (ZONING) OF THE SOUTH GATE MUNICIPAL CODE (SGMC), RELATING TO RESTAURANTS AND ANCILLARY ALCOHOL SALES WITHIN ALL OPEN SPACE (OS) ZONING DISTRICTS IN THE CITY. c.
