PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 APPROPRIATION LIMIT – F2M24-17, R2M24-21, M2M24-110
Proposition XIII B (Gann Initiative) prohibits local agencies from exceeding their 1978-79 fiscal year appropriations after allowing for cost -of-living (CPI) and population changes which are certified by the State Department of Finance. Proposition 111 allows the City to adjust its annual limits for the following factors, subject to approval by the City Council:
a) Either the California Per Capita Income or the percentage change in local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the addition of local nonresidential construction in the City.
b) Either the City’s own population growth or the population growth of the entire county.
Government Code Section 7910 requires agencies to adopt a resolution each year disclosing their appropriation limit. In accordance with Proposition 111, the City is required to conduct a review of their appropriations limit during the annual financial audit. For Fiscal Year 2022-2023, the City’s appropriation limit was reviewed by our auditors, Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP , and determined to be properly calculated. The calculations in computing the City of Alhambra’s appropriation limit for the 2024-2025 fiscal year are on file in the Finance Department. The a ppropriation limit for the 2024 -25 fiscal year is $189,333,947 and the applicable appropriation subject to this limitation is $82,639,781.
Therefore, the City is favorably under the appropriations limit by $106,694,166.
Recommended Action: After receiving public testimony, the Mayor should close the public hearing and the City Council should adopt Resolution No. R2M24-21 entitled: A Resolution of the Alhambra City Council establishing the Appropriation Limit for FY 2024- 25 and approving the annual adjustment factors used in the calculation thereof ; and,
4 6-24-24
approve the annual adjustment factor s (per capita income change +3.62% and City population change +0.05%) used in the calculation of the appropriation limit. (M2M24-110)
3. PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT ORDINANCE O2M24-4831 APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AMD -24-01 MAKING GENERAL CLARIFYING UPDATE S TO THE CITY’S ZONING CODE AND DETERMINE THIS ACTION IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA – F2M20-24, N2M24-73, O2M24-4831
This is the time and place set by Notice No. N2M24-73 for the City Council to hold a public hearing to consider an ordinance approving a Zone Text Amendment amending various sections of the Alhambra Municipal Code on zoning, as well as adding new sections, to address new State legislation and clarify ambiguo us provisions as well as correct typographical and formatting errors and modify use allowances. At its February 26, 2024 meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. O2M24 -4828, which proposed minor changes to the AMC to reflect current practices, clari fy confusing parts of the AMC, and bring outdated sections into compliance with State law. This ordinance is brought separately from Ordinance No. O2M24 -4828 because it proposes changes to the City’s Zoning Code, which requires review by the City’s Plannin g Commission. This proposed clean-up addresses items that were identified in the lead -up to and shortly after the January 22, 2024 adoption and March 2, 2024 implementation of the comprehensive Zoning Code update, including addressing new State legislation , eliminating inconsistencies, and creating greater clarity in implementing the new Zoning Code. The various items being addressed in this Municipal Code clean -up fall within two (2) broad categories: 1.) proposed amendments and 2.) proposed additions. All of the proposed amendments and additions have been reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan, as required by AMC Section 23.33.080 (General Plan Consistency Required for Zoning Amendments). In Attachment 1 of staff’s June 24, 2024 report , each proposed amendment and addition is briefly described in a table, which includes a breakdown of the categories applicable to each amendment or addition, as well as any recommended changes by the Planning Commission.
At their May 6, 2024 regular meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance and adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 24 -09, recommending the City Council approve Zoning Text Amendment AMD -24-01 with four revisions to the proposed regulations for Personal Storage uses. A dditionally, in response to Planning Commission questions regarding the meaning of “public projects” in the proposed new section 23.01.090, minor changes have been made to the language of that section from what was presented to the Planning Commission to c larify the definition. Since being presented to the Planning Commission, a couple of additional non -substantive changes have been made to the language in the ADU section, the sections relating to Community Development Director hearing procedures, and to th e provisions related to minimum residential density requirements to further clarify these provisions.
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of th e proposed o rdinance 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 is not subject to further r eview 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 will have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs.
5 6-24-24
§ 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance, 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 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. O2M24-4831: AN ORDINANCE OF THE ALHAMBRA CITY COUNCIL ADOPTING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AMD-24-01 AMENDING THE ALHAMBRA
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADDRESS NEW STATE LAWS, ELIMINATE

TYPOGRAPHICAL AND FORMATTING ERRORS, AND MODIFY USE

16. AMENDED PLAN FOR USE OF AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OF 2021 RELIEF FUNDS – F2M21-67, M2M24-98
On January 24, 2022, January 17, 2023, and July 24, 2023, the City Council amended the ARPA Plan to allocate funds for various critical needs. This included addressing deferred maintenance for City buildings and facilities; replacing aging City equipment; and modernizing technology systems. City staff are currently managing the City’s ARPA projects, utilizing cost savings, closing inactive projects, and seeking alternative funding for any price escalations. One important update to the City’s ARPA list is a delay to the fabrication of the City’s fire truck. The City may not have receipt of the fire truck for another 2 to 2.5 years; as a result, staff is requesting the fire truck be removed from the ARPA list out of concern for the 2026 compliance deadline.

21. RESOLUTION DECLARING A PORTION OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY UPON WHICH THE WEST SAN GABRIEL VALLEY YMCA EXISTS AS EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND;
APPROVING AN AGREEMENT TERMINATING CONCESSION AND TRANSFERRING PROPERTY TO ACCOMMODATE CONSTRUCTION OF A DOG PARK;
DETERMINING THE TR ANSFER OF PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION OF A DOG PARK IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA – F2M11-36, F2M18-35, R2M24 -26, RFP2M24-13, M2M24-103
The City of Alhambra is the fee owner of the property located at 401 Corto Street, Alhambra, California 91801, APN 5347-028-904 (the “Property”). The City and the West San Gabriel Valley YMCA entered into a concession agreement (the “Agreement”) in 1988 to allow the YMCA to construct and operate a YMCA recreational facility open to the general public. The YMCA subsequently constructed and has since operated such a facility on the western portion of the Property. The eastern portion of the Property is improved with a small below-grade parking area that is not currently used by the YMCA.
The City now wishes to construct a dog park on the eastern portion of the Property. That location is particularly suited for such a use as it is surrounded by the YMCA buildi ng to the West, a lowered railroad right of way to the North, a golf course driving range to the East and a large public parking lot to the South. The City also has funding for such a park—but the funding must be utilized in the next year. Due to the excl usive use rights held by the YMCA by virtue of the Agreement, the City is not able to utilize the eastern portion of the Property for a dog park. The YMCA is willing to terminate the Agreement, but wishes to remain in operation. Accordingly, the YMCA will terminate the Agreement and relinquish any and all interest in the eastern portion of the Property in exchange for the City transferring the western portion of the Property to the YMCA, along with a one - time payment of $203,810. The payment is intended to compensate the YMCA for the value of the loss of the eastern portion of the property (which they currently have the use of through 2083 under the Concession Agreement). The transferred property would be subject to a use covenant —the same covenant that exi sts in the current Agreement, limiting the use to a recreational facility open to the general public. Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(C) allows a City to transfer property as exempt surplus land, without offering the property to housing developers or r ecreational entities, when the property is being exchanged for City purposes. Exchanging the fee interest in the western portion of
14 6-24-24
the site for a release of the lease rights held by the YMCA will allow the City to construct the public dog park. Without this exchange, the City will not have access to the Property until the end of the term of the Agreement. The proposed resolution would satisfy the requirements of the Government Code concerning transfers of public land. The transfer must also be approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. During the pendency of that approval, City staff is requesting authority to release a request for proposals for design services for the dog park so as not to lose time in furthering the project.
Recommended Action: City Council, by one motion, take the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution No. R2M24-26 entitled: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Alhambra declaring a portion of city owned property upon which the West San Gabriel Valley YMCA exists as Exempt Surplus Land pursuant to California Government Code Section 54221(F)(1)(C) which includes a determination that the transfer of property and construction of a dog park is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA guidelines sections 15060(c)(2),15061(b)(3) and 15303 and as needed direct City staff to submit the resolution and all required documentation to the California Department of Housing and Community development for review; and,
2. Approve an Agreement Terminating Concessio n and Transferring Property in a form subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney and authorize the City Manager to undertake those actions necessary to effectuate the Agreement once HCD has approved the exempt surplus land determination; and,
3. Authorize distribution of a Request for Proposals (RFP2M24-13) for design services for the dog park. (M2M24-103)
22. AWARD CONTRACT: PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES TO PREPARE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES – F2M24-42, RFP2M24-10, C2M24-42, M2M24-104
On April 22, 2024, the City Council authorized the distribution of a Request for Proposals to prospective firms and consultants to provide professional consulting services to assist the City with updating and developing objective design standards and design guidelines for residential, commercial, and mixed -use projects. In response to the RFP, the City received four proposals by the May 30, 2024 deadline. Staff evaluated all proposals, interviewed thre e consultants and selected RRM Design Group as the most qualified consultant. RRM Design Group has developed objective design standards and design guidelines for numerous jurisdictions throughout California, including several for cities within the San Gabriel Valley. Additionally, RRM has an established working relationship with the City of Alhambra after having worked on the City’s General Plan Update beginning in 2015 and the City’s comprehensive Zoning Code Update beginning in 2020. Based on RRM Desi gn Group’s pricing, services proposed, qualifications, and experience, Staff recommends awarding a contract to RRM Design Group for the duration of the project, through December 2025.
Recommended Action: City Council award a contract, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and the City Attorney, to RRM Design Group in an amount not-to-exceed $417,450 for professional consulting services through December 2025 (or

23. AWARD CONTRACT: PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES TO ASSIST IN MANAGING THE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS CONTAINED IN THE 2021 -2029 HOUSING ELEMENT – F2M24-27, RPF2M24-4, C2M24-43, M2M24-105
On February 26, 2024, the City Council authorized the distribution of a Request for Proposals to prospective firms and consultants to provide professional consulting services to assist in managing the implementation programs contained in the 2021 -2029 Housing Element.

Staff evaluated all proposals, interviewed three consultants and selected Environmental Science Associates (ESA) as the most qualified consultant. ESA has provided Housing Element consulting for various cities and is proposing to work alongside Veronica Tam & Associates and BAE Urban Economics to provide additional support and strategic guidance throughout the implementation process. ESA has recent experience providing Housing Element services for several jurisdictions throughout the State. Based on ESA’s pricing, services proposed, qualifications, and experience, staff recommends awarding a contract to ESA for the duration of the project, through October 31, 2029.
Recommended Action: City Council award a cont ract, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and the City Attorney, to Environmental Science Associates to provide professional consulting services, in the amount of $2,456,634 over five years, to assist in managing the implementation programs contained in the 2021-2029 Housing Element; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action. (M2M24-105)
24. AWARD OF CONTRACT TO THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA – F2M5-77, C2M24-44, M2M24-106
As a paramedic provider, the City of Alhambra Fire Department is required to meet specific mandated training and maintain a quality improvement system. The ag reement with the Regents of the University of California on behalf of the UCLA Center for Prehospital Care allows the City of Alhambra Fire Department to meet the necessary mandates and maintain services to the community as a paramedic provider. The Fire D epartment has utilized these services since October 2010 to maintain the certifications and licenses of Fire Department paramedics and emergency medical technicians to continue to deliver quality patient care to the community. The Regents of the University of California continue to provide satisfactory services to the Fire Department. The current contract expires on June 30, 2024. The Regents of the University of California has agreed to enter into a new contract at the existing rate, with an annual increas e not to exceed 5% to account for inflation and wage increases. The Fire Department would like to continue to work with The Regents of the University of California as the contract provides savings to the City and the support services by The Regents of the University of California are highly specialized and essential to the City’s fire operations. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council award the five-year contract and waive the bid process pursuant to Alhambra Municipal Code Section 3.38.050.
16 6-24-24
Recommended Action: City Coun cil approve an agreement, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, with the Regents of the University of California, on behalf of the UCLA Center for Prehospital Care for continuing education programs and quality control services for five years through June 30, 2029 at a cost not to exceed $330,349 .86, although the City Manager can terminate on 60 days’ notice at any time; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.

On May 9, 2024, the City Clerk received six bids for this project ranging from $155,000 (Estate Design & Construction) to $299,347 (Ambit Construction & Design Inc.). Estate Design & Construction submitted the lowest bid.

Recommended Action: City Council determine that the bid received from Estate Design & Construction is non -responsive; award a contract, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, to First Trade LLC dba YMC in the amount of $165,000 for the Alhambra Fire Department Station 73 Kitchen Remodel Project; determine the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15301; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.
