Los Angeles Economic Equity Accelerator & Fellowship
Growing Equity, One Entrepreneur at a Time
Proposal: City of Bell Business Growth Ecosystem
July 25, 2024
Michael L. Antwine II, City Manager
City of Bell
6330 Pine Avenue
Bell, CA 90201
Thank you for the opportunity for LEEAF to present our proposal to the City of Bell for business services. LEEAF understands that the City of Bell is seeking services to bene fit its community of small
businesses. Our program offers a model of outreach, onboarding, and business services proven not only to directly impact business growth but also to effectively reach and serve a diverse range of business leaders generally left behind by business services.

Based at Cal State LA and operating across Los Angeles County, LEEAF is a program dedicated to fostering equity and opportunity through research-based programs centered on listening deeply to the concerns of business owners and tailoring programs to meet their speci fic pain points. LEEAF has
successfully led business support and economic development projects through every phase including initial outreach, direct services, referral, research, and reporting. The LEEAF model is proven to create results for historically excluded business leaders and LEEAF has partnered with cities, public agencies, and technical assistance providers across the county.

LEEAF proposes a partnership with the City of Bell to build a Business Growth Ecosystem to spark the growth of an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem across the City of Bell. The partnership, with two years of implementation alongside a fundraising & sustainability campaign to continue support beyond the implementation phase, would deliver a strong focus on reaching business owners historically outside the reach of technical assistance programs, city, and county support systems and building capacity and trust to bring these diverse entrepreneurs into a long-term network of engagement and support.

We look forward to collaborating with you to create results for the small businesses of the City of Bell.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,
Elianne Rodriguez
Director, LEEAF Accelerator & Fellowship

LEEAF Overview
LEEAF programs currently support clients reached through our own marketing and outreach efforts, as well as referrals from partners like Business Source Centers, the LA SBDC Network, chambers of commerce, banks, CDFIs and other non pro
fit organizations. Our program model
builds on original research by LEEAF and our coalition of experts to create equitable economic revitalization by 1)
filling gaps in knowledge about businesses run by immigrants, women, and entrepreneurs of color, 2) designing direct service and training systems to address the speci fic challenges faced by these businesses, and 3) leveraging partners to connect businesses to the follow-on resources most likely to accelerate and sustain growth.

To date our programs have served over 1700 small local businesses, delivered 2600+ hours of culturally competent technical assistance, accessed over $16M dollars in growth capital, and supported over 2200 local jobs; all while training over 630 students, including 104 Fellows and 31 members of Business Support and Outreach Teams. Our programs are speci fically proven to
engage and include early-stage diverse, first time, immigrant, low or no-english speaking, female and BIPOC entrepreneurs working in all market segments.

Program Model
The LEEAF program leverages four program pillars to create equity, engaging and equipping entrepreneurs unreached by current support systems. Each pillar of the program can stand on its own but all work best in a uni
fied system: Outreach fosters new connections and understand needs; targeted Academies build capacity responding to business needs; culturally fluent Advising and tailored Deliverables fill gaps in current support systems.

1. Outreach builds trust through warm, culturally fluent in-language connections in person and by phone. Initial interviews and observations build understanding and targeted support; digital & personal follow-up helps businesses access support and resources from LEEAF and partners.

2. Academies directly target expressed needs of businesses with workshop series that are far from abstract; each series is tied to speci
fic outcomes and deliverables for business growth,
with follow-up Deliverables support and advising to increase and sustain outcomes.

3. Advising in two stages: LEEAF Facilitators who are culturally pro ficient and successful entrepreneurs, giving bilingual 1:1 and group support to coach business owners and help overcome personal barriers, navigate processes & connect to growth resources. LEEAF Resident Advisors and experts are handpicked to bring an unparalleled wealth of industry experience that serve as dedicated 1:1 advisors and invaluable thought partners.

4. Deliverables for businesses to accelerate growth where workshops end, created by LEEAF Business Support Specialists (the Strike Team) who deliver actual work products like web templates, social media accounts, HR packages,
financial onboarding, projections and more.

To ensure and rapidly optimize impact across all program pillars, LEEAF is guided by research focused on transformational, measurable goals set in partnership with DEO and with entrepreneurs on the ground. LEEAF Research leverages Cal State faculty teams to create rigorous, IRB-approved program and ecosystem evaluations along with reports tailored to shift narratives, change systems, and help the LEEAF program rapidly evolve and optimize e fficiency and outcomes for
businesses.

Approach & Client Experience
LEEAF Business Support Teams provide key deliverables targeted to the identi fied needs of entrepreneurs in the communities they serve. Trainings and advice without resources is often challenging for business owners to implement - for instance, growing and supporting a healthy workforce is nearly impossible without basic HR tools and systems in place, and many small businesses lack these tools. LEEAF Support Teams partner trainings and advice with catalytic deliverables that enable entrepreneurs to quickly move forward in key areas like marketing, capital access, and HR that too often limit growth.

This approach allows LEEAF to invest in a customer journey tailored to each entrepreneur and building trust as the entrepreneur gains clear value to drive their business forward and rise to economic leadership:

Our proven systems of equity outreach value in person connection and trust-building that meets entrepreneurs where they are, refusing to settle for the digital-only outreach campaigns of the past that have left behind so many businesses particularly and disproportionately among entrepreneurs of color in low-wealth communities. Each new person met in outreach campaigns, business employees along with owners, is valued as a deeply integrated member of a more diverse and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem in LA County, and thus worth long-term investment. 4

Key Partnerships & Resources
LEEAF's commitment to equity and service starts at the top and manifests in a seamless leadership pipeline showing every program participant the bright, powerful futures they can achieve. We are led by women of color with deep community connections and over 30 years combined workforce and economic development experience. The staff leadership pipeline starts with an investment in building capacity for every person who participates in LEEAF programs.

Many staff come from past participants, and LEEAF is committed both to developing leaders internally and investing in leadership development more broadly, creating human capital to fuel our network of partners.

This investment in capacity building extends to LEEAF’s broad network of partners, supporting dozens more institutions in creating economic equity across economic and higher education systems. LEEAF's core partners include all CSUs in Los Angeles County, with substantial collaborations across many sectors and domains, including:
● Capital: TMC Capital, Paci
fic Coast Regional, Inclusive Action for the City, Immigrants Rising, Latino Community Foundation, Slauson & Co, M13, Sunstone Management, Vermont Slauson LDC, JFLA, Kiva, iFund Women, Acelera Financial Group, Accion Capital, Black Cooperative Investment Fund, Lendistry, LISC LA, Momentus Capital ● Chambers of Commerce: LA Chamber, Alhambra, Temple City, Montebello, El Monte, East LA, Pasadena, Monrovia, Duarte
● Technical Assistance: PACE, LA SBDC, LA LISC, LA City's BSCs, NEW Economics for Women, Entrepinayship, CAMEO, Entrepreneurship Advantage, PledgeLA, Grid110, Slauson & Co, Bella Entrepreneurs, CMTC, Betzedek, SA&M Preaccelerator, Techstars, Innovate Pasadena, GrowthHax, Blended Impact, AI LA, SALEF , Conaxion, KTown for All, Goddess Mercado, Project Equity, BioScience LA, APEX, LA County DEO, EveryoneOn. ● Higher Education: CSU Long Beach, Cal Poly Pomona (CSU), Pasadena City College, Rio Hondo City College, CSUDH, East LA College, Glendale Community College, El Camino College, Caltech, USC, CSUN, University of La Verne
● Municipalities: Bell, Pasadena, Vernon, Montebello, El Monte ● Corporate Partners: Microsoft, Snapchat, Facebook, Yahoo, Google These partnerships re
flect our commitment to collaboration while serving businesses across different backgrounds and sectors, ensuring comprehensive and inclusive support for all. LEEAF programs currently support clients reached through our own marketing and outreach efforts, as well as referrals from partners like Business Source Centers, the LA SBDC Network, chambers of commerce, banks, CDFIs and other non pro
fit organizations.

To address limitations of traditional technical assistance programs, LEEAF leverages partnerships throughout the CSU system - nationally ranked as a leading engine of upward mobility (CollegeNET 2023) - to invest in equity throughout LA County, fostering cohorts of innovators that support each other as they gain the capital and skill to grow businesses and ultimately lead community-wide economic revitalization. LEEAF's core partners include all CSUs in Los Angeles County.

These partnerships re flect our commitment to collaboration while serving businesses across different backgrounds and sectors, ensuring comprehensive and inclusive support for all. 5

Outcomes, Reporting, and Optimization
LEEAF tracks metrics laser-targeted to the skills and assets that enable entrepreneurs to grow and scale small businesses into community hubs and engines of local economies. Since the program’s founding, LEEAF has reached 4400+ businesses with in-person canvassing and served 1700+ businesses with technical support and capacity-building. We value traditional metrics - revenue growth, job creation, and capital access - but also tracks key growth indicators necessary to achieve the traditional metrics along with equity indicators to ensure the program contributes to closing gaps of opportunity, income, and wealth. Latest metrics are tracked in the table below:

Traditional Metrics Growth Indicators Equity Indicators ● 2200+ jobs created
& retained
● $16M+ in new
capital access
● 15%+ average
annual revenue
growth
● 10%+ increase in Business
Growth Scale indicators
● 20%+ growth in Attitude metrics
including Entrepreneur Mindset &
Community Leadership
● 20%+ growth in Wellness
indicators tied to long-term
sustainability
● 80%+ entrepreneurs
of color
● 70%+ women
entrepreneurs
● 60%+ have never
accessed small
business resources
The LEEAF Research Team leverages expertise in qualitative and quantitative analysis to lead a dynamic evaluation system that captures economic impact in real time, tabulating program satisfaction surveys with each program participant to create an accurate, rapid portrait of implementation for each small business participating. This rapid evaluation system feeds into broadly published reports that assess program effects on businesses served, revenue and job creation along with case studies highlighting the leadership found in the business corridors visited.

To capture progress for early and pre-launch ventures, and to make progress visible in short time scales, LEEAF has developed a Business Growth Scale focused on critical assets needed for business success, including financial systems, licenses, customer journeys, and business models.

As participants attend sessions and complete deliverables, their advisors review the growth scale at their side, providing guidance on how to evaluate and enhance their business performance.

LEEAF also tracks attitude outcomes as a way of investing in the long-term success of each entrepreneur we serve. The program is committed to matching or exceeding past results: 80+% of participants have told us LEEAF has prepared them to serve as an economic leader spreading skills and resources in their community; 85%+ have told us they have developed the high-level skills to advance in their careers, including project management, effective team leadership, budgeting & finance, analytics & KPIs, and messaging campaigns. 90%+ shared that they have built a strong network of support in LEEAF , creating the connections to fuel lifelong business success.

Finally, LEEAF innovates past old models that stop services upon graduation. Alumni services are a critical part of any program seeking to sustain systemic impact over the long term - i.e., any program that hopes to create lasting change. Upon graduation, LEEAF participants join an expanded network of partners with increased collective capacity to support them, building infrastructure for social and capital growth. All partners access and collaborate in ongoing strategic partnership on issues & challenges for all entrepreneurs with special focus on women, immigrant entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs of color. Every participant is thus equipped as a leader for economic equity in the deepest sense, spreading resources in their communities and advancing justice as they do.

Work Plan
LEEAF will implement a welcoming, inclusive Growth Pathway that builds strong relationships while connecting each business leader to resources and opportunities best suited to their needs. As the Outreach Team generates new contacts, they conduct an initial assessment through interviews and observations, immediately connecting to selected resources, then warming the relationship by introducing them to their Facilitator, a culturally
fluent advisor with experience leading a business.

Each core pillar of business support is described in detail in the sections below.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

01135.0001/1003176.1 01135.0001/861760.1 14
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursua nt to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non- terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

01135.0001/1003176.1 01135.0001/861760.1 15

7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.

If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

7.9 Attorneys’ Fees.

If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

51st Street
Park
This new park repurposes
unclaimed right-of-way
to create much needed
active open space for this
park poor community while
establishing formal access
to wetlands developed
Los Angeles River.

Unused surplus right-of-way sandwiched between Deforest Avenue and the recently completed Deforest Wetlands
provides an ideal canvas to create a scale park that enhances connectivity through the neighborhood, and adjacent
elementary school, artificial wetlands, and Los Angeles River regional bike path. The two-block long, one-acre
park leverages two dozen mature oak and sycamore trees
to provide the sense of a long-established park for this neighborhood.

The existing trees also provide a unique context for designing a youth-oriented, bicycle training course, complete with nearly twenty different street conditions for learning
to bike safely. The two ends of the park are anchored by pedestrian plazas, with play spaces and fitness installations in between. 51st Street Park is also designed with new green infrastructure including a bioswale running the length of the greenbelt, providing sustainable stormwater management
while separating the roadway from the park’s walking and bike paths.

Project coordination with the Water Replenishment District provides access to multiple testing wells located within the new park. Additional project coordination with the Water Department accommodates to existing water mains and
with the County Flood Control Authority to maintain access to their facilities along the Los Angeles River. The team also collaborated with the Public Works Department to
incorporate street improvements and ADA access upgrades between the neighborhood and new park.

Park
This new park
will bring people
out of their homes
to experience new
activities such as
yoga, the arts,
and skateboarding.

This open space project realigns a complicated series of intersections to improve safety and pedestrian circulation while creating about an acre of public open space for a park-poor community in Central Long Beach. This involved consolidating the five intersections into three intersections while closing one block of roadway, which ultimately
removed the most dangerous intersection in the city while creating an urban park that has quickly become the hub of a half dozen surrounding cultural, religious and learning institutions.

City Fabrick developed the original concept for the street realignment and park, worked with city officials and
community stakeholder to develop the schematic park
design and program and worked with city officials to pursue funding. Additionally, City Fabrick led the photography of the newly built landscape of the park and its features, including amenities and surrounding buildings. Additionally, photos of buildings and landscape were captured of the
surrounding neighborhood to highlight important features in the surrounding community. This involved our team of designers and photographers with DSLR cameras and lenses to enter into the site and capture the landscape. These high quality photos where then sorted and adjusted using photo editing software to enhance their visual output. These photos were used by several media outlets and the City of Long Beach to showcase the newly formed park.

The ground floor is dedicated to a collection of nonprofit organizations curated to serve new residents above and
already living in the surrounding neighborhood. Future
partners include the YMCA of Greater Long Beach, the Long Beach Health and Human Services, a family health clinic, a teaching kitchen, and multiple social enterprises. As part of the Spark, the adjacent Rhea Street will be closed to traffic and converted into anew public open space, complete with a playground, outdoor fitness equipment, and a community garden.

Since the Spark’s inception, City Fabrick has collaborated with LINC Housing to develop the urban design, communications, and project program. City Fabrick continues to be involved through integration and implementation, working with
partners to design each of the unique street-level community space, and provide landscape design services for the public open space and streets cape, including accommodations for a future cycle track along Long Beach Boulevard.

The design process for these community integration elements included prototyping the plaza design and program partners for a day-long pop-up park, which influenced design and programming elements for the final project. The innovative outreach and engagement strategy was supported through
a grant funded by Enterprise Community Partners.

Included are a few park
improvement projects.

Veteran Valor Plaza is an extensive renovation, expansion, and enhancement of an existing monument in North Long
Beach’s Houghton Park dedicated to Veterans. Building
upon the original memorial and elevated Huey Helicopter a larger memorial walk and garden were constructed to tie the memorial to the street corner. An additional programming space and transit plaza were constructed at the corner with furniture, gateway signage, and electronic reader board creating a welcome entry into the regional park.

The Veteran Valor Plaza was developed in collaboration with the Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine Department, and the Long Beach office of Veteran Affairs. City Fabrick extensively engaged residents, local stakeholders, and the Veteran community as part of a complex discussion related to honoring local veterans. This included events, programming, and design of the Veterans Valor Plaza project, which City Fabrick also provided full landscape design services.

Jenni Rivera Park improvements include active programming, seating, and playground that activates the previously passive greenbelt that straddles Midtown Long Beach and the City of Signal Hill. The public greenbelt created from former Pacific Electric Streetcar right-of-way is an important community asset connecting a dozen local schools and parks.

While an essential public open space, the park lacked active programming and amenities, primarily used for its walking trails, biking, and connection to other neighborhoods.

The addition of the playground provided a much need
active space for children to play and families to gather.

City Fabrick worked with multiple City departments and
agencies to navigate a complex array of subsurface utilities and easements to locate and design the playground and
surrounding amenities to best serve the community. The
team worked with the Jenni Rivera Foundation to incorporate art installations along the greenbelt including a mural of the iconic musician.

Vision Plan
With the high park demand,
the park serves the needs
of both local residents and
regional visitors by offering
sports courts, sports fields,
playground, community
center, equestrian trail, and
organized sports and youth
programs.

Tucked between the Los Angeles River and a largely
residential neighborhood, DeForest Park is truly a hidden gem for the North Long Beach community, which has nearly six times less park space than the rest of the city. With the high park demand, the park serves the needs of both local residents and regional visitors by offering sports courts, sports fields, playground, community center, equestrian trail, and organized sports and youth programs. Just south of 15-acre DeForest Park, the 34 acres of the DeForest Park Wetlands was restored and opened in 2018 for public use while retaining flood management control properties.

With Proposition 1 funding from the State, City Fabrick is partnering with Long Beach Parks, Recreation & Marine,
Conservation Corps of Long Beach, and Camp Fire Angeles Council to develop the DeForest Park Vision Plan, which will guide future investment in the park and wetlands area. The Plan involves a robust public outreach strategy that involves engaging community members throughout the decision-
making process. Based on the community feedback, City
Fabrick developed a conceptual design for the future park and policies to support its development, which was included into the Plan for the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council adoption in 2020.

Development within existing communities is often complex requiring a range of investigation, study, and multi-faceted engineering. City Fabrick will lead site design and landscape architecture – along with universal and sustainable design, while Ardurra and the consultant team provide initial
engineering and entitlement support to provide a cohesive account of the project parameters. The proposed services include developing up to three initial design concepts and refining to one Conceptual design package that incorporates input from the City, relevant stakeholders, and residents of Maywood.

City Fabrick will prepare research, design, and presentation material for up to three project concepts to be used
throughout the research, community engagement, and
planning process. The intention of this phase is to gain community input throughout the community engagement
and coordination process to help clearly define the proposed project parameters. Upon completion the project be defined sufficiently to review for potential environmental impacts – or benefits, design considerations, and necessary regulatory approvals for the project to be considered ready suitable to seek funding through most sources. The design will also be sufficient to develop rough order of magnitude cost
estimations for construction and maintenance.

The Final Report will incorporate the elements developed through the various tasks providing an action-oriented
roadmap for developing the Randolph Avenue Beautification Project. It is intended to allow land use, policy, and
investment determinations to be made within a realistic framework that recognizes the resource limitations and
opportunity of open, underused land. The Report will
summarize the existing conditions, investigation, community voice, and finalized conceptual design. The report serves as a blueprint for community partners and civic leaders to be champions for implementation and stewardship of the
new community asset.

Deliverables include:

Projects large and small require analysis of the potential environmental impacts and benefits that could result through construction and implementation. While much of the focus is related to compliance with funding agencies and regulatory approval the process is also essential for determining
how the project can be refined or enhanced to result in restorative care for the community. This work would include preparation and coordination of Preliminary Environmental Studies (PES) for level of review, environmental clearance, and coordination necessary technical studies for CEQA/
NEPA compliance. This scope of work assumes that the
level of environmental review will be limited to Categorical Exemption.

Our project team is also well-equipped to support the City for submitting and obtaining encroachment permits related to county, state, and even federal rights of ways and facilities as required for landscape and park projects.

space efforts throughout the Los Angeles region with various public partners. City Fabrick has successfully led community engagement efforts for over a dozen of open space projects and countless other types of urban planning related efforts with various jurisdictions each consisting of different target population types and unique financing plans. This includes our award-winning plans and designs for existing parks, new parks, and park improvements, park systems, and
park organizations, each emphasizing a community-based
approach to planning and design.

The community voice for this process will be built upon feedback, narratives, and information collected through previous engagement activities and efforts. Baseline
engagement for this process will take the form a general survey that will build quantifiable data about the future park user experience, needs, and desire. The survey will be available in hard copy and online – available in English and Spanish, will be provide essential information as well as initial contacts to follow-up when drawing participants for future workshops and focus groups.

Along with collecting the input from previous projects and planning efforts there will be at least three community workshops (including one virtual) distributed along Randolph Avenue – working with City staff and community partners to discuss needs, assets, opportunities, and challenges for establishing new public open space along this corridor. This scope will include meeting facilitation, creating workshop activities including role-playing, forced-choice, and shared learning. The workshop activities will be designed to be compatible with other meeting structures and potential
community events to expand participation beyond those
who might not typically attend a public workshop.

Completing the community engagement process will include a series of focus group meetings and stakeholder interviews to gather additional input, context, and support for the process, report, and park designs. The survey, workshop, and follow-up interviews and meetings will be staged
throughout the process to collect information and feedback at different stages of the research, planning, prioritization, and design – while also reporting back what was heard
and how it guides the project. The entirety of information, narrative, and feedback will be condensed into a community voice chapter of the final report while raw information will be cleaned and consolidated within an appendix section of the document.

There is the opportunity to demonstrate the potential for Randolph Avenue to become a community asset through
temporary interventions, programs, or events as part
of the engagement process. City Fabrick is an industry
leader in the application of tactical urbanism as part of community development and engagement developing pop-
up demonstration projects across the region associated
with planning, design, and development. Optional Task 6 would be to organize an event or series of events and/or installations along Randolph Avenue to promote its future as a greenbelt.

This would be done in conjunction with the engagement
process to demonstrate, gain input, and test elements of the beautification project. This can include but would not be limited to pop-up engagement installations, a 2-mile fun run, temporary signage, and median cleanups. Along with demonstrating the possibilities and gaining input from the community the demonstration project(s) will build awareness and interest in the project, ultimately catalyzing community champions for its implementation and stewards for its
sustainability. In collaboration with the City and community partners, City Fabrick would develop the demonstration
project(s) and provide logistic capacity for execution of the project/event.

Randolph Avenue straddles between multiple cities which provides the opportunity to this to be an asset to residents beyond Maywood. As part of the initial design and site
investigation process would be an optimal opportunity to engage the Cities of Huntington Park and Bell to expand the scope and benefit of the Randolph Avenue beautification project and offer economy of scale for developing a larger and longer community asset. City Fabrick would develop
conceptual level presentation material, demonstrating
the potential benefits of an expanded Randolph Avenue
Beautification Project to present to neighboring jurisdictions, regional agencies, and potential funders.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

WHEREA
S, the General Assembly of the League of California Cities objects to the practice of the California Legislature of imposing rules limiting authority or regulating the conduct of local municipal officials that do not also apply to elected officials of the State of California; and

WHEREAS, examples of such rules or regulations that apply to local city elected officials that do not otherwise apply to the elected officials of the State of California include, but are not limited to:

California’s open meeting rules, codified in the Ralph M. Brown Act, Government Code, Chapter 9, §§ 54950 et seq., which purport to “declare[] that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people’s business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly,” but which limits its application to “local agencies,” but not including elected officials of the State of California;

Creating “one-off” exemptions, in the form of Senate Bill No. 174, from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) which purportedly requires all government agencies to consider the environmental consequences of their actions before approving plans and policies or committing to a course of action on a project in order to demolish and then rebuild State offices for the Governor and other State officials;

7

2024 Resolutions Packet

Adopting rules, in the form of Senate Bill No. 1439, amending the Political Reform Act (the “Act”), by removing the exception for local elected officers from contribution limits requiring disqualification on development project decisions,” but not including elected officials of the State of California;

Adopting rules, in the form of Assembly Bill No. 571, that apply to city and county candidates for local elected office, but not to candidates for state-wide office, including, but not limited to: prohibiting the making a contribution over the AB 571 limit to another candidate in jurisdictions subject to the AB 571; requiring a candidate that has qualified as a committee to establish a separate controlled committee and campaign bank account for each specific office; prohibiting a candidate from redesignating a committee for one election for another election.

League of California Cities Staff Analysis on Resolution No. 1 Staff: J
ohnnie Pina, Legislative Affairs, Lobbyist
Committee: Governance, Transparency, and Labor Relations Summary:

This Resolution states that the League of California Cities shall call upon the Governor of the State of California and the elected members of the California Legislature, including all members of the Senate and Assembly to adopt the following policy:
“The Calif
ornia State Legislature shall not enact, and the Governor shall not sign into law, any law or regulation that applies solely to elected officials of California cities and counties, unless such law or regulation also applies equally to members of the California State Assembly and Senate. This prohibition shall not apply to laws or regulations affecting the inherent powers of the legislative branch under the California Constitution.”
Background:

This resolution states that examples of the California Legislature imposing rules limiting authority or regulating the conduct of local municipal officials that do not also apply to elected officials of the State of California include, but are not limited to:
• California’s open meeting rules, codified in the Ralph M. Brown Act, Government Code, Chapter 9, §§ 54950 et seq.;
• “One-off” exemptions, in the form of Senate Bill No. 174, from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”);
• Rules, in the form of Senate Bill No. 1439, amending the Political Reform Act (the “Act”); and
• Rules, in the form of Assembly Bill No. 571, that apply to city and county candidates for local elected office, but not to candidates for state-wide office.

Ralph M. Brown Act
The Califo
rnia Attorney General’s (AG) Office defines The Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) as what governs meetings conducted by local legislative bodies, such as boards of supervisors, city councils and school boards. The AG’s office states the Act represents the Legislature’s determination of how the balance should be struck between public access to meetings of multi-member public bodies on the one hand and the need for confidential candor, debate, and information gathering on the other.

The Ralph M
. Brown Act governs local agencies, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act covers all state boards and commissions, and Government code 17

9027 governs the state Legislature. The C alifornia Constitution also mandates open meetings for state agencies, boards, and commissions. Specifically, the Constitution requires that each local agency comply with the Brown Act (Article I, section 3(b)(7)): and that the proceedings of each house of the Legislature be open and public (with exceptions for employment matters; matters affecting security; confer with legal counsel; and to meet as a caucus (Article IV, section 7).

Althoug
h fairly detailed requirements apply to state agencies and other state bodies, they do not apply to the Legislature. The Legislature has Constitutional authority to adopt rules for its proceedings that are consistent with the requirement that the proceedings of each house and the committees be open and public.

Another notable difference between the Legislature and a city council is the ability for Legislators to have a caucus to discuss a bill, express how they will vote, and to count votes. This is not allowed under the Brown Act. One other difference is that the laws governing teleconferencing for members of the state Legislature is far less flexible than it is for local bodies. However, state agencies have more flexibility than locals in that regard.

California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
The Resolution cites the Legislature's action in exempting from CEQA the reconstruction of the State Capitol Annex building. The State Legislature enacted the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in 1970, establishing it as a public disclosure law for the environmental review of discretionary projects and a process for mitigating or avoiding potential environmental impacts.

SB 174 (C
ommittee on Budget and Fiscal Review) Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 74, Statutes of 2024 was signed into law July 2, 2024. This bill exempts the work performed under the State Capitol Building Annex Act of 2016 from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In this example the Legislature exempted themselves as not being considered a “public agency,” “state agency,” or “lead agency” under CEQA. A lead agency under CEQA is the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project that is subject to CEQA.

Over the
years, the Legislature has also created many CEQA exceptions and exemptions for local projects involving local agencies as well.

The Political Reform Act (PRA) - Senate Bill No. 1439
SB 1439 (Glazer) Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 848, Statutes of 2022 amends section 84308 and is aimed at preventing "pay-to-play" practices, in part by prohibiting parties, participants, and their respective agents in a 18

proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use from contributing more than $250 to an officer of an agency during a 12 month period. When the Levine Act was first enacted in 1982, Section 84308 applied to appointed members of boards and commissions who were running for elective office. SB 1439 expended this law to now apply to local elected officials. Since it is focused on permits and licenses, it now applies to State agencies and local agencies that approve permits and licenses. Section 84308 does not apply to the Legislature or the Courts. It is important to note that unlike local governments, neither issue permits and licenses.

The Political Reform Act (PRA) - Assembly Bill No. 571
AB 571 (Mullin) Chaptered by Secretary of State. Cha
pter 556, Statutes of 2019
established default campaign contribution limits for county and city office at the same level as the limit on contributions from individuals to candidates for Senate and Assembly, effective January 1, 2021. This bill permitted a county or city to establish its own contribution limits, which would prevail over these default limits.

The Reso
lution cites AB 571 as an example of treating cities differently than the State. The Fair Political Practices Commission clarifies in their AB 571 fact sheet that under AB 571 a city may elect to have "no" contribution limit in which case the state contribution limit will not apply as a default for that jurisdiction. A city or county can set contribution limits higher than the default state limit, AB 571 sets a default in line with contributions Assembly Members and Senators if a city or county is silent on contribution limits.

Fiscal Impact:

Unknown.

Existing Cal Cities Policy:

Mission Statement
To expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians.

We Believe:
• Local self-governance is the cornerstone of democracy. • In the involvement of all stakeholders in establishing goals and in solving problems.
• In conducting the business of government with transparency, openness, respect, and civility. The spirit of honest public service is what builds communities.
• Open decision-making that is of the highest ethical standards honors the public trust.
• The vitality of cities is dependent upon their fiscal stability and local autonomy. The active participation of all city officials increases Cal Cities’ effectiveness.
19

• Partnerships and collaborations are essential elements of focused advocacy and lobbying.
• Ethical and well-informed city officials are essential for responsive, visionary leadership and effective and efficient city operations.

Comments:

Additional Examples
The Legislature has passed and the Governor has signed many laws that apply to local governments and do not apply to the state or the state Legislature. This year AB 2561(McKinnor) was introduced, w
hich requires local governments to
present in a public meeting a detailed report about their vacancy rates and detailed information about their hiring practices. This is an attempt to address public sector vacancy rates. This bill does not apply to the state in a time when they are also dealing with high vacancy rates.

Additi
onally, there were several bills that aim to amend the Levine Act, which now applies to local elected officials, to make changes to SB 1439, referenced previously in the analysis. None of the bills would amend the law to be applicable to Assembly Members or Senators.

AB 817 (Pacheco), co-sponsored by Cal Cities tried to bring parity to the Brown Act by making the teleconference rules for state advisory bodies the same for local advisory bodies but the Legislature struck the bill down.

Applying to elected officials or to the legislative body? Legislature or the State? The reso
lution also states, “… applies solely to elected officials of California cities and counties, unless such law or regulation also applies equally to members of the California State Assembly and Senate.”

This portion of the resolve clause is specifically speaking to local elected officials and State Assembly Members and Senators. However, many of the “where as” clauses are in reference to laws that apply to cities, the state and the Legislature as government agencies and not specifically to the elected officials on the governing bodies. For example, the Brown Act applies rules to the Legislative body and not the individual council member. Additionally, the city council as a whole is the lead agency under CEQA and not the individual council members.

Inherent Powers of the Legislative Branch
The resolution also states, “This prohibition shall not apply to laws or regulations affecting the inherent powers of the legislative branch under the California Constitution.”

It is unclear what inherent powers of the legislate branch under the California Constitution means in this context. The legislative branch does have the power 20

of preemption over cities and can state that a change in law is a matter of state wide concern. This allows the legislative branch to apply new laws or amend existing laws to apply to general law and charter cities. It seems like the last sentence of the resolve clause could negate the rest of the resolve clause if not clarified.
