ECT: Second Reading of an ordinance amending the City of Bell Municipal Code by adding Chapter 8.58 prohibiting the sale, use, and distribution of nitrous oxide.

REC
OMMENDATION:

It i
s recommended that the City Council waive further reading, read by title only and adopt Ordinance No. 1293:

AN O

RDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

BELL, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE BELL MUNICIPAL
CODE, TO ADD A NEW CHAPTER 8.58 PROHIBITING THE

SALE, USE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF NITROUS OXIDE
BA
CKGROUND:

Medi
cal authorities have linked the recreational use of nitrous oxide to serious health problems, which can cause physical illness, mental illness, injury, and/or death. Eliminating possession, sales, and distribution of nitrous oxide in the City of Bell will reduce the number of people in possession and use of nitrous as an intoxicating drug and will promote public health, safety, and welfare.

Al
though, nitrous oxide does have legitimate purposes for nonmedical uses such as a vehicle performance boost in some modified vehicles used for racing purposes. Unfortunately, it has also found its way to illegitimate purposes as an intoxicating drug abused by college aged, high school aged, middle school aged children. California Penal Code subsections 381b – 381 e address various criminal elements and penalties for the sale, illegal use, and possession of nitrous oxide.

Ni
trous oxide is not a controlled substance but is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), not the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), as a result there is little enforcement oversight beyond local law enforcement action. The restricted sale of nitrous oxide for nonmedical purposes will provide a significant deterrence in the availability of nitrous oxide for illegal purposes in the City of Bell.

WHEREAS, the City of Bell (“City”) has the authority, under its police power, to enact regulations for the public peace, morals, and welfare of the City pursuant to its Charter and California Constitution Article XI, section 7; and

WHEREAS, since 2023, the City’s police department has received hundreds of calls relating to nitrous oxide-related incidents; and

WHEREAS, the City has a compelling interest in preserving the health, safety, and welfare of its residents, and in particular its minor residents, in considering regulations on the sale, use, and distribution of nitrous oxide; and

BY: ________________________________________
Michael L. Antwine II, Executive Director/City Manager

SUBJECT: Approval of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) and Administrative Budget for FY 2025-26 for DOF Submission

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Members of the Successor Agency approve the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) for the 2025-26 Fiscal Period of July 1, 202 5, to June 30, 2026 , and the Administrative Budget for the 2025-26 Fiscal Period with the attached documents for submission to the Oversight Board for further approval on January 13, 2025 and authorization to transmit to the California Department of Finance under dissolution law by February 1, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court issued its decision in CRA v. Matosantos, upholding Assembly Bill (“AB”)x1 26, which dissolved all redevelopment agencies in California, and overturning ABx1 27, the “voluntary alternative redevelopment program.” With the voluntary redevelopment program provided for in ABx1 27 having been ruled unconstitutional by the Court, all California redevelopment agencies were dissolved on February 1, 2012. Successor agencies are responsible for winding down the affairs of their respective, now -dissolved redevelopment agencies. The City of Bell (“City”) is acting as the Successor Agency to the Bell Community Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”) to manage and curtail the operation of the dissolved Bell Community Redevelopment Agency (“Redevelopment Agency”).

As Successor Agency, the City is responsible for all the assets, properties, contracts, leases, obligations, and records of the former Redevelopment Agency. For the Successor Agency to continue paying obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency, ABx1 26 requires the Successor Agency to prepare an annual ROPS setting forth the Successor Agency’s payment obligations for two six -month periods. The ROPS shall include any bonds, loans, payments required by the federal government, contracts, costs associated w ith Disposition and Development Agreements, and other similar obligations to third parties.

This ROPS 2025-26 must be approved by this Successor Agency, then sent to the First District Oversight Board (“Oversight Board”) for approval before it can be submitted to the DOF, State Controller’s Office, and the County Auditor-Controller no later than February 1, 2025 The City may face a fine of $10,000 per day for ROPS submitted after this deadline.

DOF provided the Successor Agency with a partially completed ROPS form to standardize the form and make it consistent with DOF’s automated tracking system.

rlein Promissory Note and related Legal Costs (#5) –The Werrlein Promissory Note was paid off on June 1, 2023 with check #6069, in the amount of $131,250 and is now considered retired. Legal services maybe needed to get the Trustee to execute the reconveyance.

3. Repayment of SERAF Loans (#8 and
#9) – The former Redevelopment Agency borrowed
money from its Low and Moderate-Income Housing Fund to make two statewide Supplemental Educational Revenue Allocation Fund (SERAF) payments imposed by the State in 2009-10 and 2010-11.

The total outstanding amount due on line item #8 2009- 10 loan was paid in full on Jan. 13, 2022, and is now retired. The total outstanding amount due on line item #9 2010-11 loan was paid in full on Jan. 2, 2024, and is now retired.

4. Successor Agency Administrative Costs ( #10) – $250,000.00 is being requested as allowed by State Law appeared.

5. Property Management Plan and Property Disposition (#14) – This line item has been dormant
for a number of years, but the Successor Agency is resuming the disposition of Successor Agency-owned properties under the Surplus Land Act.

C
opies of ROPS 25-2 56 and the FY 25-26 Administrative Budget are Exhibits A and B respectively, to the Oversight Board Resolution, which is included as Attachment 1 to this report, in addition to the Successor Agency’s Staff Report to the Oversight Board.

Upon receipt of an Oversight Board-Approved ROPS, DOF has 45 days to make its determination of the enforceable obligations, including amounts and funding sources. Within five business days of DOF’s determination, the Successor Agency may request additional review and an opportunity to meet and confer on disputed items. DOF has until 15 days prior to the date for property tax distribution to make its final decision after the meet and confer. The RPTTF distribution dates for the ROPS 25-26A period and 25-26B period are on or about June 1, 2025 and January 2, 2026, respectively.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None until approved by DOF. If the DOF approves the ROPS 25-26 as submitted, it is anticipated that the Successor Agency will receive $ 1,373,820 of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”), which includes $250,000 for administrative expenses, to pay the Successor Agency’s enforceable obligations for the fiscal year July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

Preparation and administration of ROPS 25-26 is funded through the Successor Agency’s annual administrative allowance. The California Health and Safety Code requires a $10,000 per day fine if the ROPS is not submitted to the DOF (after required Oversight Board Approval) by the February 1, 2025 deadline. If ROPS 25-26 is not approved by the Successor Agency at the January 8, 2025 meeting, it may compromise the ability to meet the legal deadline and could potentially result in a fine being assessed against the City.

ATTACHMENTS:

It is recommended that the Fourth District Oversight Board:

Adopt Resolution No. OB-25-01 approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the annual fiscal period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 (“ROPS 25-26”) and approving the Administrative Budget included therewith, subject to submittal to, and review by the State of California, Department of Finance (“DOF”).

BACKGROUND:

On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court i ssued its d ecision in CRA v. Matosantos, upholding A ssembly Bill (“AB”)x1 26, which dissolved all r edevelopment agencies in California, and overturning ABx1 27, the “voluntary alternative redevelopment program.” W ith the voluntary redevelopment program provided for in ABx1 27 having been ruled unconstitutional by the Court, all California redevelopment agencies were dissolved on F ebruary 1, 2012. Successor agencies ar e responsible for winding down the affairs of their respective, now-dissolved redevelopment agencies. The City of Bell (“City”) is acting as the Successor Agency to the Bell Community Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”) to m anage and curtail the operation of the dissolved Bell Community Redevelopment Agency (“Redevelopment Agency”).

As Successor Agency, the City is responsible for all of the assets, properties, contracts, leases, obligations, and records of the former Redevelopment Agency. For the Successor Agency to continue paying obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency, ABx1 26 requires the Successor Agency to prepare an annual ROPS setting forth the Successor Agency’s payment obligations for two six-month periods. The ROPS sh all include any bonds, loans, payments required by the federal government, contracts, costs associated with Disposition and Development Agreements, and other similar obligations to third parties.

DISCUSSION:

HSC Section 34177(l) requires the Successor Agency to prepare a ROPS showing all the obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency and the sources of funds for repaying obligations. This ROPS 25-26 was approved by the Successor Agency on Jan. 8, 2025, and must now b e approved by t he Fourth District Oversight Board (“Oversight Board”) before it can be submitted to the DOF, State Controller’s Office, and the County Auditor-Controller by no later than February 1, 2025. The City may face a fine of

Page 2 ends

$10,000 per day for ROPS submitted after this deadline.

DOF provided the Successor Agency with a partially completed ROPS form to standardize the form and make it consistent with DOF’s automated tracking system.

ROPS Items

The items on ROPS 25-26 are substantially the same as those included on prior ROPS. The ROPS items include:

1. Bond Debt Service Payments, Continuing Disclosure Costs and Trustee Fees (Nos.1, 2, and 3) – Payments and costs for required payments and reporting requirements. The Successor Agency to the Bell Community Redevelopment Agency plans to issue Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2024 (Federally Taxable) to refinance the Bell Community Redevelopment Agency Bell Redevelopment Project Area Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds Issue of 2003 (#1) currently outstanding in the amount of $7,045,000. The Bonds will be included in the Agency’s Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, and shall be secured by a pledge of, and lien on the tax increment revenues generated from the Bell Redevelopment Project Area. The 2024 bonds are scheduled to close on January 15, 2025.

2. The Werrlein Promissory Note (#4) and related Legal Costs (#5) –The Werrlein Promissory Note (#4) was paid off on June 1, 2023 with check #6069, in the amount of $131,250 and is now considered retired. Legal services (#5) maybe needed to get the Trustee to execute the reconveyance.

3. Repayment of SERAF Loans (Nos. 8 and 9) - The former Redevelopment Agency borrowed money from its Low and Moderate -Income Housing Fund to make two statewide Supplemental Educational Revenue Allocation Fund (SERAF) payments imposed by the State in 2009- 10 and 2010-11. The total outstanding amount due on line item #8 2009-10 loan was paid in full on Jan. 13, 2022 and is now retired. The total outstanding amount due on line item #9 2010-11 loan was paid in full on Jan. 2, 2024 and is now retired.

4. Successor Agency Administrative Costs (No.10) – $250,000.00 is being requested as allowed by State Law, as the Agency has resumed the process of disposing of several Successor Agency - owned properties.

5. Property Management Plan and Property Disposition (No. 14) – This line item has been dormant for a number of years, but the Successor Agency is resuming the disposition of Successor Agency-owned properties under the Surplus Land Act. The $220,000 request reflects input from the City Attorney as to the amount of work that will be required under the new state guidelines for the Surplus Land Act.

1. Western Auto - 6414 Clarkson Ave (APN6325-020-901), 6415 Atlantic Ave (APN 6325- 020-904), 4472 Gage Ave (APN 6325-020-902)

2. Jacks Carwash - 7020 & 7030 Atlantic Ave (APN 6326-035-901, 6326-035-902)

3. Gage Avenue Commercial Parking Lots - 4014 & 4022 Gage Ave (APN 6325-002-901, 6325-002-902)

4. 4560 Gage Commercial Parking Lot - 4560 Gage Ave (APN 6326-004-900).

5. LAUSD Settlement Payment and related Legal Costs (No. 21) – As required by the Settlement Agreement between the Successor Agency and LAUSD and associated legal costs related to the Agreement. The matter is close to approaching a resolution.

7. Jack’s Carwash Legal Services (No. 23) – This line item has also been dormant for a number of years. The $75,000 request reflects input from the City Attorney as to the amount of work that will be required for the anticipated eviction litigation for delinquent rent.

Copies of the ROPS 25-26 and the FY 25-26 Administrative Budget are included with the Oversight Board Resolution, which is included as Attachment 1 to this agenda report.

Upon receipt of an Oversight Board-approved ROPS, DOF has 45 days to make its determination of the enforceable obligations, including amounts and funding sources. Within five business days of DOF’s determination, the Successor Agency may request additional review and an opportunity to meet and confer on disputed items. DOF has until 15 days prior to the date for property tax distribution to make its final decision after the meet and confer. The RPTTF distribution dates for the ROPS 25-26A period and 25-26B period are on or about June 1, 2025 and January 2, 2026, respectively.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None until approved by DOF. If the DOF approves the ROPS 25-26 as submitted, it is anticipated that the Successor Agency will receive $1,373,820 of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”), which includes $ 250,000 for administrative expenses, to pay the Successor Ag ency’s enforceable obligations for the fiscal year July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

APPROVED Michael L. Antwine II (e-signature)
BY: ________________________________________
Michael L. Antwine, II, City Manager

SUBJECT: First Amendment to City of Bell 2023 Amended and Restated Chief of Police Employment Agreement

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Counci l a pprove the First Amendment to City of Bell 2023 amended and restated employment agreement for Carlos Islas as Chief of Police.

BACKGROUND:

Section 604(a) of the City Charter provides that the City Manager appoints department heads of the City, subject to the approval of the City Council. The current employment agreement for the Police Chief, Carlos Islas, expires on January 24, 2025, and the City is currently conducting recruitment for a successor chief of police. As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to ensure seamless leadership within the Police Department during the recruitment process, the City Manager desires to extend the appointment of Carlos Islas as at-will Chief of Police not to exceed 6 months from the current end date, or until the City appoints a successor Chief of Police, whichever comes first.

DISCUSSION:

The First Amendment to the City of Bell 2023 Amended and Restated Chief of Police Employment Agreement presented for the City Council’s consideration would make the following changes from the current employment agreement for the Chief of Police:

• Extends the contract term by 6 months from current end date of January 24, 2025, with the agreement automatically terminating the earlier of July 24, 2025, or when the City appoints a successor Chief of Police, with no severance payment. • T he City Manager may terminate the contract at any time during the extended term by providing 30 days’ written notice.
• Includes language to ensure compliance with the Public Safety Officers Bill of Rights Act/ Government Code section 3304(c).
• Removes contract language pertaining to performance evaluations.

The terms from the 2023 Amended and Restated Chief of Police Employment Agreement would otherwise remain the same, including the following:

• Annual salary - $195,831.50.
• All benefits remain the same.

Section 2. The Policy. The nepotism policy is described as follows:

A. No employee shall be appointed or promoted to a position in any department in which such employee’s relative already holds a position, when such employment would result in any of the following:
(1) A supervisor-subordinate relationship;
(2) The employees’ job duties will require performance of shared duties on the same or related work assignment;
(3) Both employees will have the same immediate supervisor.

Page 101 ends

BCEA MOU 2024-2027

Page 22 ends

B. For purposes of this section, “relative” shall mean spouse, child, step-child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, parent-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

C. If a City employee marries another person employed by the City of Bell within the same department, both employees shall be allowed to retain their respective positions provided that a supervisory relationship does not exist between the two employees. For t he purpose of this section, a supervisory relationship shall be defined as one in which one person exercises the right to control, direct, reward or punish another person by virtue of the duties and responsibilities assigned to their position.

D. The City also retains the right to refuse to place both relatives in the same department, division or facility where such has the potential for creating adverse impact on supervision, safety, security, morale or involves potential conflict of interest.

E. Where the circumstances mandate that two relatives shall not work together, the Personnel Department will attempt to transfer one relative to a similar position in another City department. Although the City will attempt to give consideration to the wishes of the involved parties as to which relative is to be transferred, the controlling factor in determining which relative is to be transferred shall be the positive operation and efficiency of the City. If any such transfer results in a reduction in salary or compensation, the same shall not be considered disciplinary in nature and shall not be the subject of any form of administrative appeal.

F. If continuing employment of two relatives cannot be accommodated consistent with the City’s interest in promotion of safety, security, morale and efficiency, then the City retains sole discretion to separate one relative from City employment. Absent resignation by one affected relative, the less senior of the involved relatives will be subject to separation and the same shall not constitute discipline and shall not be subject to any administrative appeal.

(a) No relatives shall be appointed or otherwise allowed to work in the same department unless already doing so as of September 12, 2018.

(b) For purposes of this section, “relative” shall mean spouse, child, step-child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, parent-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

(d) The City also retains the right to refuse to place both relatives in the same department, division or facility where such has the potential for creating adverse impact on supervision, safety, security, morale or involves potential conflict of interest.

(e) Where the circumstances mandate that two relatives shall not work together, the Personnel Department will attempt to transfer one relative to a similar position in another City department. Although the City will attempt to give consideration to the wishes of the involved parties as to which relative is to be transferred, the controlling factor in determining which relative is to be transferred shall be the positive operation and efficiency of the City. If any such transfer results in a reduction in salary or compensation, the same shall not be considered disciplinary in nature and shall not be the subject of any form of administrative appeal.

(f) If continuing employment of two relatives cannot be accommodated consistent with the City’s interest in promotion of safety, security, morale and efficiency, then the City retains sole discretion to separate one relative from City employment. Absent resignation by one affected relative, the less senior of the involved relatives will be subject to separation and the same shall not constitute discipline and shall not be subject to any administrative appeal.

SUBJECT: Cit

RECOMME
NDATION:

It is r
ecommended that the City Council receive and file this report.

BACKGROUND:

Per the r
equirements of the California Government Code and the City of Bell’s Investment Policy, a monthly investment report is published that discloses the status of investments.

The report i
ncludes types of investments, issuers, maturity dates, book values and the current market value as of the date of the report.

OVERVIEW O

F CITY INVESTMENTS
The City’
s investment portfolio is divided between The California Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”) and Asset- Backed Security, Agency Issues, Commercial Paper, US Treasury, Money Market, Commercial Mortgage, Supranational, US Corporate, Foreign Corporate.

The Calif
ornia Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”) comprises 60.80% of the City’s total investment portfolio. This is a liquid investment that allows participants to earn market rate of returns, while retaining access to the fund within 24 to 48 hours of a withdrawal request with no penalty. The remainder of the City’s portfolio is composed of investments that may be liquidated at any time. However, these investments likely do not provide the short liquidity of the pooled money funds, and liquidation/withdrawal of these investments is at the risk of loss and/or penalty to the City.

The attached
Investment Reports for the City and Successor Agency reflect the portfolio at the above-referenced date and are in conformity with the 2023 Statement of Investment Policy adopted by the City Council on April 26, 2023.
