For FY 2025–2026, while HUD has not officially notified the City of its funding allocations, the City can proceed with the hearing of its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Using an estimated funding amount based on the FY 2024–2025 CDBG and HOME allocations, the City of Alhambra anticipates receiving approximately $834,539 in CDBG funds and $440,224 in HOME funds from HUD. If the actual FY 2025-2026 allocations for CDBG or HOME are greater or less than the estimates used, the amount for each project will be increased or decreased at the same percentage, with Admin, CHDO Reserve, and Public Services amounts (as applicable) rounded down to the nearest dollar to remain under the funding caps. The following programs are proposed for funding through CDBG and HOME during FY 2025-2026: Proposed Work Program (CDBG) $834,539 Administration $141,908 Fair Housing Services $25,000 Housing Rehabilitation $342,450 Code Enforcement $200,000 Public Services (Senior Case $125,181 Management) Proposed Work Program (HOME) $440,224 Administration $44,022 CHDO (New Construction) $66,034 Housing Rehabilitation $330,168 The HCDA Citizen Advisory Committee was expected to review the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, the One-Year Annual Action Plan, and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), however, a quorum with the HCDA could not be secured for the regularly scheduled meetings of April 1, 2025, and May 6, 2025, or for a Special Meeting of the HCDA on May 7, 2025. As a result, individual feedback from committee members was encouraged. One comment was received.

CITY VACANCIES, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS REPORT IN COMPLIANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 2561 – F2M25-2, M2M25-69 Effective January 1, 2025, Assembly Bill 2561 added California Government Code Section 3502.3 which requires public agencies to hold a public hearing at least once per fiscal year to report on vacancy and recruitment status and retention efforts. The public hearing presentation must be made prior to the adoption of the final budget for the fiscal year. The City has 411 full-time positions budgeted with 20 of these positions vacant as of April 29, 2025, for an approximately 4.9% vacancy rate. A summary table showing the number of vacancies and percentage of total vacancies by each City bargaining unit and other unrepresented units is available as a part of the Director of Human Resources & Risk Management’s May 12, 2025 staff report. AB 2561 further requires that recognized bargaining units be allowed to speak and/or make a presentation before the City Council during the same public hearing in which the agency makes its annual presentation on vacancies. All of the City’s represented bargaining units have been notified of this public hearing tonight and provided with their vacancy rate. AB 2561 also requires that during the hearing, the agency must identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to hiring obstacles. Staff has not identified any necessary changes to policies and procedures that may present obstacles in the hiring process; rather, staff has identified an opportunity to allow eligible part-time/hourly employees the ability to apply for promotional opportunities by amending the Alhambra Municipal Code. Additionally, within the past 18 months, City staff has adopted various strategies to address recruitment challenges and improve employee retention. Efforts include updating class specifications to ensure job requirements are current and necessary; streamlining the hiring process for safety sensitive positions; reaching agreement with certain bargaining units to allow for a certain number of “overhires” for vital safety sensitive positions to ensure a smooth transition of personnel with impending retirements; adjusting work schedules for more efficient operations and employee wellness; and the offering of lateral hiring bonuses for Police Officers, Firefighter/Paramedics and Police Dispatchers. Recommended Action: City Council conduct a public hearing and receive and file the information presented on position vacancies in compliance with Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561) - Local public employees; vacant positions.

CONTRACT AMENDMENT: EUROFINS EATON ANALYTICAL LLC FOR FY 2024- 2025 – F2M21-29, C2M24-32, M2M25-74 Eurofins Eaton Analytical LLC provides water quality testing laboratory services to the Utilities Department on a monthly basis. The original contract for water quality testing laboratory services is $100,000.00 per fiscal year. Eurofins invoices the City on a monthly basis, depending on the type and amount of work performed. Due to the increased cost amounts during Fiscal Year 2024-2025, Eurofins was required to do work that exceeded the contract amount by $35,000.00. The cost of the additional work is due to a more stringent standard of work, where the City’s annual sampling volume significantly increased from 48 samples per year for perchlorate to 516 samples per year. This increase reflects the City’s commitment to comply with updated water quality standards and ensuring continued public health protection. This amendment will only cover additional labor costs and work performed in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Recommended Action: City Council approve an amendment to the Agreement with Eurofins Eaton Analytical LLC for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 for an additional $35,000.00; authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement on behalf of the City Council; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.

CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2.48 OF THE ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING PROMOTIONAL EXAMS – F2M25-2, O2M25-4846 Periodically amendments are needed to the Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”) based upon changes in legislation and issues arising in implementation of the AMC. This proposed ordinance makes amendments to AMC subsections 2.48.030 and 2.48.090(B). The AMC currently prohibits part-time employees from applying for full-time promotional examinations. This limits the available talent pool for positions and limits opportunities for part-time employees to advance their careers with the City. An amendment to the two subsections cited is necessary to allow eligible part-time/hourly employees to apply and to provide more promotional opportunities for the City’s part-time/hourly employees. Recommended Action: City Council declare introduced for its first reading the following ordinance entitled: Ordinance No. O2M25-4846: An Ordinance of the Alhambra City Council amending Chapter 2.48 of the Alhambra Municipal Code concerning promotional exams which ordinance will return for a second reading and adoption at the next regular Council meeting. | May 12, 2025 Item #25 | |||

| 20250414 | Item | 8. 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 | |||

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.

| 20250324 | 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 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.

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.

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.

| 20250310 | Order of Business 11 | 11.4 City Water System Update and Recommended Next Steps RECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council: 1. 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: The City Council’s acceptance of the Project as complete is required to allow the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion with the LA County Registrar-Recorder.

Adopt the attached Resolution; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Bell Gardens and Norris Realty Advisors. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), the Agreement is categorically exempt because it is not considered a project. Professional Services Agreements are considered organizational or administrative government activities that result in no direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. CONCLUSION: Given the additional services required based on an appeal being heard by the third-party hearing officer, staff recommends that the City Council approve a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Norris Realty Advisors and amend the not-to-exceed amount from $11,000 to $16,000. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds to cover these services have been budgeted for FY 2024-2025 as part of the Housing Division’s budget.

CONCLUSION: Approving the Fourth Amendment would extend the Greentech contract services agreement term for three (3) additional months at the same terms and conditions currently provided for under the existing agreement, which will allow staff to complete the process for a competitive landscape maintenance services procurement without interruptions in landscape maintenance services. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for landscape contract maintenance services is available in the FY 2024/25 budget.

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. FISCAL IMPACT: The $316,886 for additional construction management, inspection, and soils and materials testing services would result in a total not to exceed amount of $2,040,352.08.

FISCAL IMPACT: The consulting services to be provided by Michael Baker are based on hourly rates and an annual not-to-exceed price. The new total annual not-to-exceed costs will be $348,914.

The timeline should identify changes that can be made without new equipment (such as implementing dwell recall) to be implemented as soon as possible, followed by changes requiring equipment and larger capital costs, such as improvements to Transit Signal Priority and preemption. The report should also include a draft policy and implementation plan to provide automatic pedestrian and cyclist phasing for adjacent crosswalks, bike lanes, and bike paths that run parallel to the direction of trains or buses in a separate lane or guideway. c.

The Transit First Policy would also guide the LADOT to work with Metro to upgrade to the type of signal prioritization or preemption that best meets the travel time goals of the policy. The policy should include a provision that deviations from these goals must be justified based on specific findings, on a case-by-case basis. d. Study how the impacts of the above policies proposed in this Motion (Raman, et al. – Harris-Dawson) affect speeds and timetables for transit services, and report this information to Council within one year of adoption of the policies proposed in said Motion, attached to the Council file.

To avoid ambiguity, the N-word is spelled "n" followed by "i" followed by "g" followed by "g" followed by "e" followed by "r." The C-word is spelled "c" followed by "u" followed by "n" followed by "t." Examples of variations of these epithets include, but are not limited to, the words' plural forms and words created by adding "-ish," "-y," "-ly" or "-ing" to create related adjectives, adverbs, verbs, or gerundives. Public speakers are prohibited from using the N-word and C-word and their variations even though the speakers would use the words to express a non-offensive, non-vulgar viewpoint. The first time a public speaker in a Council or Committee meeting uses the N-word or C-word, or its variation, the staffing City Attorney or presiding officer shall issue a warning to the public speaker that the word and its variations are proscribed and may not be used again in any Council or Committee meeting. If the speaker who received the warning uses the word or its variation again in that or any future Council or Committee meeting, the presiding officer shall re-issue the order, note that the officer's need to stop the meeting to re-issue the order has actually disrupted the meeting, and cut off the speaker's time to speak for the remainder of that meeting.

Report to Council with an engagement plan and resources needed to remove, repurpose, or retain peak-hour lanes on corridors that operate above traffic volume thresholds. Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that it does not anticipate any impact to the General Fund as a result of these recommendations, and will report back with resources needed to further implement the next steps included in the report. While removing peak-hour lanes may reduce the number of citations issued on these corridors, parking enforcement officers currently assigned to enforce peak-hour restrictions can be deployed to address other parking violations throughout the City. The Special Parking Revenue Fund may experience an increase in parking meter revenue since peak-hour lanes limit the hours that parking meters can operate. With peak- hour lanes removed or their hours reduced, the hours that parking meters can operate increases. The LADOT calculated the maximum additional annual revenue per corridor based on the report’s recommendations. The LADOT derived these estimates based on the potential extra hours of meter operation, 100 percent occupancy, current meter rates based on time of day, and 249 non-holiday weekdays of operation per year. Based on this methodology, the maximum annual increase in parking meter revenues from the recommended peak-hour lane modifications is over $482,000 annually once all of the peak- hour lanes are repurposed. | April 22, 2025 Item #27 | |||

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 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 | |||

MUNICIPAL SERVICES COMMITTEE: DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 13.04 TO REMOVE STRANDED INVESTMENT CHARGE AND RESERVES AND TO INCLUDE A WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE TARGET WITHIN 60 DAYS (Water & Power Dept.)

Amend Section 13.04.173 – Power cost adjustment. b. Amend Section 13.04.175 – Reserve for stranded investment and change title to “Reserve for working capital”; and, c. 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 | |||

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 | |||

Adoption of Resolution No. 25-18 will allow the City to receive Senate Bill 1 funding estimated by the State of California to be $1,035,094 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. 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 adopt Resolution No. 25-18 and authorize the Public Works Director to file necessary documentation to satisfy Senate Bill 1 funding requirements and act as the authorized signatory for matters related to Fiscal Year 2025-2026 funding. | June 03, 2025 Order of Business 4 #C | |||
| 20250603 | Order of Business 7 | A. ORDINANCE NO. 720 – APPROVING A SERVICE CONTRACT WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT The City of San Gabriel uses the Los Angeles County Public Health Code as the “Health Code” for the City. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has approached all 85 cities within Los Angeles County, including San Gabriel, about updating the agreement that provides updated public health services for cities. Generally, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health administers local public health services to the City of San Gabriel and other municipalities at no cost. For entities that require a public health permit, the proposed agreement authorizes the County to collect the applicable permit fees directly from the applicant. Specifically, the proposed contract permits the Department of Public Health to charge cost-recovery fees to San Gabriel, or any other city, for the following purposes: 1. Conducting inspections of City-owned or City-operated detention facilities, in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 101045; and 2. Providing additional public health administrative or inspection services requested by the City that fall outside the scope of the standard services covered under this agreement. Any costs associated with inspection services specifically requested by the City will be absorbed withing existing budget allocations. Otherwise, the proposed ordinance and the associated Public Services Contract with the Department of Public Health will not result in any fiscal impact. Public health services that do not require specific fees or permits will continue to be provided to the City at no cost. Should the City elect not to utilize the County’s public health services, it would be required to establish an independent Health Department. Doing so would entail substantial financial commitments, including but not limited to costs associated with personnel, equipment, laboratory testing, facilities, and related infrastructure. Although a portion of these expenses could potentially be offset through service fees, a considerable share would remain unfunded, resulting in significant net expenditures for the City of San Gabriel. 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 authorize the City Manager to approve the agreement with Los Angeles County for Public Health Services. | June 03, 2025 Order of Business 7 #A | |||

Current expenditures for Fire Department software subscriptions total over $15,000 and will sunset as subscriptions expire in July of 2025. The cost of the First Due subscription includes the Community Connect and Fire Prevention modules, not provided by any of the current solutions. Funding for this sole source contract is included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Fire Department budget, and staff has negotiated with the vendor to begin onboarding upon approval and defer payment until after the start of the next Fiscal Year. This item is contingent on the approval of the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 proposed budget. No costs are incurred by the City if the budget is not approved.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MOSS LEVY AND HARTZHEIM FOR AUDITING SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $107,930 OVER A THREE-YEAR TERM The City of San Gabriel is required to undergo annual independent financial audits in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. The current agreement for auditing services has concluded, necessitating the selection of a qualified certified public accounting firm to conduct the City’s audits. Moss Levy and Hartzheim (MLH) submitted the most competitive proposal and brings extensive municipal audit experience, strong references, and a successful history of working with the City. The total cost of the proposed three-year agreement is $107,930. The annual contract amount has been incorporated into the City’s annual General Fund operating budget for auditing services and does not require additional appropriations at this time. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK FOR THE EMERGENCY GENERATOR LOCATED AT THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY BY AFFORDABLE GENERATOR SERVICES, INCORPORATED AT A TOTAL COST OF $34,219.69 The emergency generator at the Public Works Facility has not been properly maintained for a long period of time, further contributing to its declining performance and need for frequent repairs. To ensure the facility remains equipped with a dependable backup power source to the fuel station and power to the building, staff recommends replacing the generator base fuel tank. The adopted Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget included $25,000 from the Fleet Services Budget Account No. 124-800-37-99-730 for the purchase of a new generator base fuel tank. However, given the nature of the expense not being fleet related, the expenditure is more appropriately categorized as a facility-related cost rather than a Fleet Services expense and will need to be paid from the General Fund. These budgeted funds in Fleet Services will be released from appropriation. The total cost of the replacement tank, including sales tax, is $34,219.69. 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 authorize the City Manager to approve a purchase order with Affordable Generator Services, Incorporated for the replacement of the emergency generator base fuel tank located at the Public Works Facility, at a total cost of $34,219.69. Given the nature of the expense, staff recommends utilizing General Fund dollars from Budget Account No. 124- 800-15-99-730 to cover the purchase, ensuring proper financial alignment with the intended purpose of the expenditure. | May 20, 2025 Order of Business 4 #E | |||

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 | G. ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN OUTDOOR RECREATION LEGACY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATION AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE 2024-2025 OPERATING BUDGET IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $20,000 TO FUND WORK BY THE DAHLIN GROUP TO SUPPORT THE GRANT APPLICATION [RESOLUTION NOS. 25- 07 & 25-09] The City of San Gabriel has the opportunity to apply for Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) grant funds through the National Park Service, funded through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. 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. Adopt Resolution No. 25-09 appropriating $20,000 from Park Development Impact Fees into account #124-850-40-96-813 for project development. | March 04, 2025 Order of Business 4 #G | |||
| 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 | |||
| 20250304 | Order of Business 7 | A. 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 | |||

The General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR) is an important tool to facilitate the implementation of the Housing Element and to assist in tracking and monitoring the City’s progress in addressing the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA), including the number of housing units permitted by income level, the status of the programs in the Housing Element, and efforts to remove governmental constraints. There is no fiscal impact as this is an information item only. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

| 20250513 | Order of Business 16 | D. Request by Mayor Negrete that the City Council consider taking an “Oppose Unless Amended” position on Assembly Bill 306 (Schultz), which, as currently written, would impose a six-year moratorium on any changes to the building code that affect residential buildings; and direct the City Manager to prepare a letter requesting the following amendments: 1) Exclude existing residential buildings from the moratorium, so that it would apply only to newly constructed housing. This change would allow the City to continue its critical work to de-carbonize older housing stock, increasing energy efficiency, reducing monthly utility costs, and improving health and quality of life for current residents; and 2) Clarify that local governments can adopt the existing 2025 State Building Code language currently scheduled to take effect January 1, 2026; and that the California Building Standards Commission, and other adopting agencies, may consider and approve modifications to the 2031 State Building Code, prior to the June 1, 2031 date stated in the current bill language. This clarification is consistent with the author’s intent to pause only one triannual building code cycle.

PROPOSITION 218 PROTEST HEARING - WATER RATE INCREASES Summary: The 2023-2028 City of Signal Hill Strategic Plan identifies the update of the Water Master Plan (WMP) and Water Rate Study (RS) as key initiatives for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025. On December 12, 2023, the City Council executed a professional services agreement and directed staff to complete the WMP and RS updates. The WMP provides a detailed assessment of the City’s water system, evaluates current and projected supply and demand, and outlines a five-year capital improvement plan. The RS establishes a five-year tiered rate structure to generate sufficient revenue for operations, capital projects, and debt service. Over the past 18 months, staff has presented updates on the WMP and RS, including proposed rate adjustment options, during the Subcommittee meeting, multiple City Council meetings, and community workshops. These efforts ensured transparency and provided opportunities for public input and City Council feedback. On March 25, 2025, following the completion of the WMP and RS, receipt of public feedback, and a thorough review process, the City Council directed staff to initiate a Proposition 218 Public Hearing process to consider the recommended self-funded rate adjustment option, with the hearing scheduled for May 27, 2025. The proposed new rate structure includes annual rate adjustments of 15% for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, 14% for Fiscal Years 2027-2028 and 2028-2029, and 10% in FY 2029-2030. Staff is requesting that the City Council receive, file, and adopt the final Water Master Plan and receive and file the Water Rate Study reports. The RS document has been available for public review on the City’s website since April 3, 2025. In addition, during tonight’s meeting, the City Council will conduct a Proposition 218 Public Hearing to consider the proposed water rates and record property owner protests received during the 45-day protest period. The City will receive oral comments, however, these will not be counted as formal protests unless accompanied by a written submission received prior to the close of the public hearing. After the hearing, the City Clerk will tabulate all valid written protests. If more than 50 percent of the affected property owners or customers of record submit written protests, the City Council cannot adopt the proposed rate adjustments. If the City does not receive a majority protest, the City Council may proceed to adopt the proposed water rates. If the City Council adopts the new rates, they would take effect on July 1, 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 infrastructure, water system, and recreational spaces. physical 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. Receive, file, and adopt the Water Master Plan. 2. Receive and file the Water Rate Study Report. 3. Conduct a Proposition 218 Public Hearing and 4. If a majority of the property owners or tenants of the identified parcels affected by the proposed rate increases do not submit written protests against the proposed rates, waive further reading and adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING RATES FOR WATER SERVICE FEES AND TAKING OTHER ACTIONS RELATED THERETO | May 27, 2025 Order of Business 11 #a | |||
| 20250527 | Order of Business 12 | a. CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN AND SIGNAL HILL AMPHITHEATER PROJECT UPDATE Summary: The 2023-2028 Strategic Plan identifies the development of the Civic Center Master Plan (CCMP) as a key City objective. On August 27, 2024, the City Council adopted the CCMP, which outlines a phased approach to redeveloping the Civic Center campus. The plan designates three phases, with the building of a new amphitheater as Phase One; replacement of the existing Community & Youth Center and related amenities as Phase Two; and accessibility, park connectivity, and landscape improvements, particularly those enhancing Signal Hill Park and Jessie Nelson Circle, as Phase Three. At this same meeting, the City Council directed staff to explore the feasibility of advancing select elements of Phase Three to improve accessibility from existing parking areas to Signal Hill Park and the new amphitheater and assess opportunities for additional accessible parking and plaza design enhancements along Jessie Nelson Circle. In May 2025, staff met with individual City Council members to review the updated amphitheater design and to discuss the evolution of the process which accounted for input through community outreach, presentations to City committees, commissions, the City Council, and expert guidance from the industry consultants. The updated design includes a modified scope that accounts for current and future programming needs and is appropriately scaled for the proposed use and maximizes its functional utility over time. Staff worked with John Kaliski Architects, Incorporated (JKA) to explore the modified Phase Three accessibility Improvements that could enhance pedestrian accessibility and additional accessible parking. Given the topography of Signal Hill Park, especially the elevation changes from the park to Jessie Nelson Circle, incorporating accessibility improvements from the City’s parking lots to the amphitheater requires a significant amount of grading and improvement work. While these preliminary design efforts were helpful to provide structure and scope for potential Phase Three improvements, staff recommends focusing the use of the City’s funding on the amphitheater and revisiting Phase Three at a later date. As a follow-up to the City Council direction, this report provides a status update on the Phase One amphitheater design and provides an update on specific Phase Three elements and improvements consistent with City Council’s request. 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 infrastructure, water system, and recreational spaces. physical Goal No. 5: High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services. Recommendation: Provide direction to advance Phase One of the Civic Center Master Plan and receive and file status update report. | May 27, 2025 Order of Business 12 #a | |||

SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 2025-04-1554 AMENDING CHAPTER 13.04.130 (RATE ESTABLISHMENT) OF THE SIGNAL HILL MUNICIPAL CODE Summary: The City of Signal Hill currently provides water service and collects associated service fees in accordance with California law. Although the Signal Hill Municipal Code authorizes the adoption of rates by resolution, the existing water service and rate structure is included in Chapter 13.04 (Water Service and Rates) of the Municipal Code. As a result, any changes currently require adoption by ordinance. However, effective January 1, 2017, changes to Health and Safety Code Section 5471, allow public agencies to adopt new or increased water service fees by resolution. On April 22, 2025, City Council introduced Ordinance 2025-04-1554, which proposes to amend Sections 13.04.130(A) and 13.04.130 (C) of the Municipal Code. The proposed Ordinance would confirm the City would update rate changes by resolution, streamline the rate setting process, and remove the requirement to include water rates within the Municipal Code, without diminishing the City’s legal authority. Staff is now presenting Ordinance No. 2025-04-1554 for second reading and adoption. If adopted, the Ordinance 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 Ordinance No. 2025-04-1554, 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. | May 13, 2025 Order of Business 9 #b | |||
| 20250513 | Order of Business 9 | c. POLICE DEPARTMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TURBO DATA SYSTEMS INCORPORATED FOR PARKING CITATION AND DATA PROCESSING SERVICES Summary: Parking citation and data processing is a vital resource in the City’s parking enforcement and education efforts. Recent legislation, including payment plan requirements under AB 503, requires critical management of enforcement systems to allow for efficiency by Department staff and personnel tasked with the issuance of parking citations. In advance of the expiration of the City’s current contract for parking management services, staff surveyed industry standards and researched trends to ensure the recent scope of work was updated to include all necessary functions and any anticipated legislative changes. In an effort to ensure the Signal Hill Police Department is using the most compatible systems and contracting with the most suitable vendor, staff recently conducted a competitive RFP process and selected Turbo Data Systems. Staff proposes a three-year contract for a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000; this amount is approximately $3,000 more annually than the current vendor. Staff would include the additional costs related to the parking management program in the proposed 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Operating Budget. Subject to approval by the City Council, the Turbo Data Systems would provide parking citation, data processing services, customer service support, noticing, coordinating second-level hearings, processing citation payments, and overseeing collection and Franchise Tax Board intercepts for delinquent citations. The vendor would also provide the necessary technology to support citation issuance and management. Strategic Plan Goal(s): Goal No. 2 Community Safety: Maintain community safety by supporting public safety services and increasing emergency preparedness. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council award the proposed Contract Services Agreement and authorize the City Manager to enter into a General Services Agreement with Turbo Data Systems for parking citations and data processing, for a term of three years with two one-year extension options, and a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $150,000, in a form approved by the City Attorney. If approved by the City Council, staff would issue a Notice to Proceed and begin coordinating with the contractor to begin providing services on July 1, 2025. | May 13, 2025 Order of Business 9 #c | |||

| 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.

| 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.

To assist the City Council’s evaluation of this issue, staff has included a draft ordinance permitting the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks with this item. In addition to allowing for the sale of certain fireworks, the ordinance proposes the adoption of a framework governing the manner and criteria by which eligible entities will be allowed to sell fireworks within the City. Strategic Plan Goal(s): Goal No. 2 Community Safety: Maintain community safety by supporting public safety services and increasing emergency preparedness. Recommendation: Review and provide feedback on the proposed ordinance and regulatory scheme, including whether and how the City Council would like to permit the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks in the City. | March 11, 2025 Order of Business 11 #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.
