On June 2, 2021, City Council approved a thirty -six (36) month CSA with Keller Williams Covina and their Broker Associate Carolina Ruiz to provide various real estate services for the city including real estate broker services and real estate advisory services. Since the execution of the agreement Ms.
Ruiz has been instrumental in facilitating several transactions including the purchase of the Red Car Building, the property at 14824 Ramona Blvd., and the property at 13165 Garvey Ave, which eventually became Serenity Homes.
On July 5,2023, The City Council authorized the Director of Community Development to publicize the availability of re tail spaces for lease to the open market and bring back a listing of recommended commercial vendors for City Council consideration.
DISCUSSION
With the current construction of the Susan Rubio Zocalo Park and Civic Center Plaza including a new commercial retail building within the park, there is a need for real estate services related to marketing and leasing. Based on staff’s positive experience with Ms. Ruiz of Keller William Covina, her extensive
real estate background and knowledge of the local commercial real estate market, staff is recommending the City Council approve Amendment Number 1 to the existing consultant services agreement. The Amendment would amend the previous Scope of Services and Compensation with a new one that now includes marketing and leasing services and related compensation. The u sual industry compensation standard is 6% of the term of the lease, which is usually split evenly if the other party is also represented. Keller Williams Covina has agreed to 2% for themselves in this scenario and 3% if the other party is unrepresented. The amendment will add a not -to-exceed agreement amount of $40,000.00 specifically for the additional marketing and leasing services provided by the consultant.
Leasing activities provided by the consultant has the potential to create a significant revenue stream.
All other provisions in the Agreement remain in effect.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may decide not to approve this amendment.

The City Attorney has reviewed the attached draft amendment and has approved its form and content.

ITEM NO. 6
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Sam Gutierrez, Director of Public Works
PREPARED BY: Yovanni Viramontes, Associate Engineer
DATE: August 16, 2023
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Between the City of Baldwin Park and
San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG)
for Participation in the San Gabriel Valley Regional
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis Model
SUMMARY
This report is requesting City Council approval and authorization to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) for the implementation of the San Gabriel Valley Regional VMT Analysis Model. Amendment No. 2 will replace Article II A, Subsection 7 which increases the originally agreed upon amount of $14,979 by an additional $15,000 to an amount not-to-exceed $29,979 that will be invoiced to the City by SGVCOG.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Amendment 2 for an amount not-to-exceed $29,979.00 between the City of Baldwin Park and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) for the implementation of the San Gabriel Valley Regional VMT Analysis Model; and
2. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Amendment to the MOA with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments; and
3. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate $5,000 from Fund No. 235 – General Plan Fees and $10,000.00 from Fund 240 – Gas Tax for a total amount of $15,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund.
Available Funds Amount
Fund No. 235 – General Plan Fee $5,124Approved Fund No. 240 – Gas Tax $9,855 Fund No. 235 – General Plan Fee $5,000Appropriate Fund No. 240 – Gas Tax $10,000 Total $29,979
BACKGROUND
The passage of SB 743 (Steinberg, 2013) changes how transportation impacts are measured under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in the review of land use and transportation plans and projects. SB 743 removed automobile delay as the primary measure of transportation impacts of environmental significance and required the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to
develop revisions to CEQA Guidelines establishing criteria for determining the significance of transportation impacts. OPR subsequently selected Vehicles Miles Travelled (VMT) as the preferred metric to comply with SB 743.
As a result of these changes, lead agencies under CEQA will be required to analyze project-related VMT to determine whether transportation impacts from a given development would constitute a significant environmental impact under CEQA beginning July 1, 2020. In order to properly evaluate impacts, it will be necessary for local agencies to establish methodologies and quantified thresholds from which to determine levels of significance. The City currently has no methodology or mechanism in place to transition to these new requirements.
After receiving requests from a majority of the San Gabriel Valley cities to lead a regional effort to assist cities with completing these VMT requirements, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) conducted a comprehensive Request-for-Proposals (RFP) process. As a result, Fehr and Peers was selected as the most qualified firm to provide professional consultant services to complete the San Gabriel Valley Regional VMT Analysis Model.
On March 18, 2020, the City Council authorized the Mayor and City Attorney to execute a MOA between the City and SGVCOG for participation in the San Gabriel Valley Regional VMT Analysis Model. As part of the agreement SGVCOG will invoice the city once in an amount not to exceed $14,855.00.
This project will analyze existing traffic conditions in the region to arrive at a baseline standard from which to determine significance thresholds for future land use and transportation projects. It will result in recommendations for establishing methodology, thresholds, and technical tools and procedures for CEQA analysis and transportation impacts of land use and transportation projects and plans in the local jurisdictions within the San Gabriel Valley.
The following 26 San Gabriel Valley cities have submitted confirmation to participate in the model:
City of Alhambra City of Industry City of Rosemead
City of Arcadia City of Irwindale City of San Marino
City of Azusa City of La Cañada Flintridge City of San Gabriel City of Baldwin Park City of La Puente City of Sierra Madre City of Claremont City of La Verne City of South El Monte City of Covina City of Montebello City of Temple City
City of Diamond Bar City of Monterey Park City of Walnut City of Duarte City of Monrovia City of West Covina
City of El Monte City of Pomona
On August 20, 2022, the Chief executive Officer executed Amendment No. 1, which included the addition of a web based regional VMT Analysis Tool to the scope of work for SGVCOG’s consultant.
The agreement increased the total compensation to be paid to SGVCOG in an amount not to exceed $14,979.00. Payment requests will be invoiced to the city in the amounts of $12,299.00 and $2,750.00.
DISCUSSION
The Memorandum of Agreement between the City and SGVCOG assigned various responsibilities to the City and SGVCOG including that SGCVOG retain a consultant to create a program for cities, including Baldwin Park to implement a Regional VMT Analysis Model and comply with Senate Bill 743.
After SGVCOG’s consultant created this Model, SCAG adopted a new model, The RTP Model 2020.
In order for the city to meet requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which requires cities to use the most current available data for a project’s environmental impacts, the regional
VMT model and assessment tool will need to be updated.
Amendment 2 of the MOA will increase the compensation to SGVCOG by an amount not to exceed of $15,000. This will be used to have the SGVCOG’s consultant update the VMT Model tool, so it will comply with both CEQA, Senate Bill 743, and fulfill the purpose of the MOA.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City Council may choose not to adopt the Memorandum of Agreement.
2. Provide Staff with alternative direction.
CEQA REVIEW
The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content.

AMENDMENT NO. 2
TO
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK FOR
PARTICIPATION OF THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY REGIONAL VMT ANALYSIS MODEL
This Second Amendment to Memorandum of Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) is made and entered into as of date executed by both parties, by and between the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, a joint powers authority (“SGVCOG”) and the City of Baldwin Park (“City”) with reference to the following:
A. The SGVCOG and the City entered into that certain Memorandum of Agreement dated as of August 20, 2020, which is incorporated herein by this reference (the “MOA”).
B. The MOA assigned various responsibilities to the parties wherein the SGVCOG was to retain a consultant to create a program for cities, including the City, to implement a Regional VMT Analysis Model (PROGRAM) to streamline the City’s VMT-related impact analyses and ensure successful compliance with Senate Bill 743.
C. The SGVCOG’s consultant performed analysis and created a Regional VMT Model and Assessment Tool which the City was able to utilize for the purposes set forth in the MOA, which was based on the Southern California Associated Governments (SCAG) RTP Model (2016).
D. SCAG has adopted a new model, the RTP Model (2020), which was not available prior to the regulatory deadline for implementing Senate Bill 743 and at the time the SGVCOG’s consultant created the Regional VMT Model and Assessment Tool.
E. The effect of SCAG’s adoption of the new model is that the Regional VMT Model and Assessment Tool created by the SGVCOG’s consultant, if used by the City, may not meet requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which requires the most current available data when a project’s environmental impacts are being analyzed.
F. The SGVCOG and the City desire to have the SGVCOG’s consultant update the Regional VMT Model and Assessment Tool so it can continue to be used to fulfill the purpose set forth in the MOA.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the MOA.
2.Revised Scope of Services. Exhibit "A" of the Agreement entitled “Scope of Work”, is modified to include additional services as outlined in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

3. Term of MOA. The term of the MOA as set forth in Article I, thereof, shall be extended up to and including April 1, 2028.

The payment of the third invoice will be due within thirty (30) days upon the City’s receipt of the third invoice for an amount not to exceed $15,000.00.
Article II.A setting forth SGVCOG’s responsibilities shall be amended to add the following:
“8. Amend the contract with its consultant to update the PROGRAM based on the SCAG RTP Model (2020) to fulfill the purpose of the MOA.”
5. Other Terms and Conditions. Article VII of the MOA shall be amended to add the following:
L. Should the data utilized to update the PROGRAM as set forth in this Amendment No. 2 be revised at some point in the future in such a manner that the SGVCOG reasonably determines has rendered the PROGRAM non-compliant with CEQA, the SGVCOG may discontinue the PROGRAM or upon further amendment to the MOA, the SGVCOG and City may agree to update the PROGRAM.
6. Integration. This Amendment No. 2 and all attachments hereto (if any) shall integrate all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein, and supersede all negotiations with respect hereto.
This Amendment No. 2 amends, as set forth herein, the Agreement and except as specifically amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Amendment No. 2 and the terms and provisions of the Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Amendment No. 2 shall control.
IN WITNESS hereof, the parties enter into this Amendment No. 2 on the date executed by both parties.
