BY: Gustavo Romo, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO.2021-058 -ORDINANCE NO. 921 (FILE NO.2021-058)
DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation, based upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, that the City Council:

1. Conduct the duly noticed public hearing;

3. Direct that the proposed Ordinance be placed on agenda for second reading at the February 14, 2022, City Council Meeting.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On January 8, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 886 to create an Electronic Billboard Overlay District to allow for the construction of two electronic billboards subject to the adopted controls and regulations. The Electronic Billboard Overlay District ("Overlay District") is located adjacent to the 710 Freeway within the C-4 (Heavy Commercial) and MPD (Manufacturing Planned Development) zones. In addition, Ordinance 886 amended the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC), Chapter 9.40 "Signs" by adding Section 9.40.065 "Electronic billboard regulations and standards" that established regulations governing the design and operation of electronic billboards and set standards for the application review and approval process.

An electronic billboard is a billboard that displays digital images that are changed by a computer every few seconds. Electronic billboards are primarily used for commercial advertising, but they can also be used for public service purposes. Billboard companies are increasingly constructing electronic billboards instead of non -electronic billboards due to the increased number of advertisers that can be accommodated at one time on a single electronic billboard. Electronic billboards offer the potential for a source of revenue and other public benefits to cities when construction and operation of billboards are permitted on publicly owned property. Cities are allowed to enter into agreements with billboard owners for financial compensation provided by billboard owners to cities in return for the right to construct a billboard on a public property.

Agreements can include terms for the voluntary removal by billboard owners of non -electronic �:3

billboards in other locations in exchange for the right to construct an electronic billboard within a designated suitable location adjacent to a freeway. In this case, the City was able to remove two older static billboards.

During the special Planning Commission meeting on Monday, December 6, 2021, staff presented Zoning Code Amendment No. 2021-058 and Ordinance No. 921 amending certain portions of the Zoning Code to allow flexibility for electronic billboards closer than 150 feet to a residential use as long as evidence of no light impacts are found. The Planning Commission then adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 2021-11 (Exhibit 2), recommending to the City Council approval of Zoning Code Amendment 2021-058 and adoption of Ordinance No. 921.

ANALYSIS:

Zoning Code Amendment No. 2021-058 (Ordinance No. 921) proposes to amend the regulations under Section 9.40.065 by allowing flexibility for electronic billboards closer than 150 feet to a residential use as long as evidence of no light impacts are found. The amendment will provide the City Council with the opportunity to review and approve electronic billboards that are proposed within 150 feet of a residential zone or use.

Proposed changes to the code will be shown in an underlined/strikethrough format and proposed new text will be shown in a final black format. Staff has included below a summary of the proposed revisions under Zoning Code Amendment No. 2021-058 (Ordinance No. 921). These are as follows:

Chapter 9.40, "Signs", Section 9.40.065 "Electronic Billboard Regulations and Standards":

A. Item 11 of Part C (Physical Requirements) of Section 9.40.065 "Electronic Billboard Regulations and Standards," is amended and enacted as follows (underlining denotes additions; strikethrough denotes deletions):

11. Electronic billboards shall be placed at least 150 feet from any residential zone or residential use. The measurement shall be from the closest edge of the billboard to the elesest edge of t e nearest residential zone or elesesf boundary line of property 4ne on which a residential use is located. However, this distance requirement may be reduced or eliminated if the City Council makes the finding regarding light impacts set forth in Part F of this section.

B. Item c (Findings for Approval of an Agreement) of Subpart 2 (Review Process) of Part F (Application Requirements — Review Procedures) of Section 9.40.065 "Electronic Billboard Regulations and Standards," is amended and enacted to add the following finding (underlining denotes additions):
vii. It has been determined that artificial light and glare impacts of the proposed electronic billboard at less than 150 feet from a residential zone or residential use is not significantly greater than they would be at a distance of 150 feet, as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City by a study of the particular site.

CONCLUSION:

Zoning Code Amendment No. 2021-058 (Ordinance No. 921) proposes to amend the BGMC to allow flexibility for electronic billboards closer than 150 feet to a residential use as long as

evidence of no light impacts are found.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

Item 2.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Jane Halstead, City Clerk
SUBJECT: GENERAL MOTION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND APPROVE

ORDINANCES BY TITLE ONLY PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36934
DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff recommendation that the City Council approve a general motion to waive full reading and approve Ordinances by title only pursuant to California Government Code Section 36934.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In order to expedite the conduct of business at Council meetings, California State Law (California Government Code Section 36934) allows Ordinances to be read by title if a majority of the Council supports the motion waiving the full reading. Most California cities adopt a standard motion at the beginning of each meeting in order to effectuate this waiver.

Since most of the Ordinances introduced and adopted consist of multiple pages of technical language, reading by title only allows the Council to eliminate the communication of redundant information and attend to other matters during the meetings. Otherwise, the entire Ordinance language will have to be read in full.

CONCLUSION:

Allowing ordinances to be read by title only, according to California State Law, will expedite the conduct of business at Council Meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

Item 5.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Gustavo Romo, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING RESUBMISSION OF THE

CALHOME GRANT RESOLUTION FOR THE SECOND ALLOCATION OF
FUNDS
DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The CalHome Program is authorized by Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 50650) of Part 2 of Division 31 of the State Health and Safety Code. Additionally, Proposition 1 C, the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Funds Act of 2006, provides CalHome 2020 Programs funding.

California jurisdictions and non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for CalHome Program funds to provide mortgage assistance for low or very low-income first-time homebuyers and owner -occupied housing rehabilitation for low or very -low-income homeowners (0 to 80% of Median Family Income). The CalHome application is a competitive application process rated and ranked by HCD to determine the grant recipients.

The City was awarded a second allocation of funds in the amount of $4.55 million dollars in 2021.

These funds will provide low interest (up to 3%) deferred payment loans to seniors, persons with a disability, and low and moderate -income families who own and occupy their homes and need financial assistance to make repairs and improvements.

Due to a request from HCD to amend the City's resolution to match the program's administrative changes for the second allocation, resubmission of a resolution is being required for the second allocation of the CalHome Program. This is a time -sensitive item that requires City Council action to allow for timely resubmission of the resolution to HCD. To receive these CalHome funds, the City Council must approve the resubmission of the Resolution for the second allocation round for the CalHome funds. The changes are due in part to additional administrative verbiage that needs to be included in the Resolution to match the State mandates required language.

Upon receiving the revised resolution, the state will provide a new standard agreement for the 46 second allocation of the CalHome funds totaling $4.55 million ($4,556,250).

CURRENT CALHOME PROGRAM UPDATE:

In preparation to launch the City's current CalHome Program, a series of informational collateral materials have been prepared to best appeal to potential applicants. The current CalHome program includes loan funding to support first-time home buyers and owner -occupied home rehabilitation. The list of documents prepared to date include first-time homebuyer materials program with application, curriculum development, promotional flyer, internal checklist, applicant certificate of completion, website landing page, marketing video, infographics for flyers and curriculum, legal document (Deed of trust, Truth in Lending, Promissory Note), and marketing videos.

For the owner -occupied CalHome loan program, the list of documents includes the applicant application, promotional flyer, website landing page, video, and webinar presentation.

CONCLUSION:

Upon receiving the revised resolution, the City of Bell Gardens will receive the Standard Agreement for the second allocation of $4.55 million in funds to improve residential properties and promote residents' home -ownership opportunities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No matching is required. The City may receive up to $5 million in grant funding. Up to 5% of grant funds may be allocated to the administration of this grant.

Item 6.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Hailes H. Soto, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OPPOSING TO LEGALIZE SPORTS BETTING ON

AMERICAN INDIAN LANDS INITIATIVE RELATED TO SPORTS BETTING

AT AMERICAN INDIAN GAMING CASINOS AND LICENSED

RACETRACKS IN CALIFORNIA
DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In 2019, California Senator Bill Dodd introduced SCA 6 which proposed to establish the California Sports Wagering and Consumer Protection Act. The Act would have authorized sports betting, including online or mobile sports betting, for horse race tracks and federally recognized "American Indian" tribes. The bill would also incorporate the authority of a licensed gambling establishment to offer games with cards or tiles in which participants wager against each other.

The bill was shelved in June 2020 due to opposition by a coalition of 25 Native American tribes that argued that the legislation would allow competing card clubs to continue offering card games the tribes claim violate their exclusive compacts with the state.

A new initiative has been proposed and now qualified for the ballot in California as a combined initiated constitutional amendment and state stature on November 8, 2022. The California Legalize Sports Betting and American Indian Lands Initiative would legalize sports betting at American Indian gaming casinos and licensed racetracks in California as well as legalize roulette and dice games, such as craps, at tribal casinos. The proposed measure would legalize sports betting in California and distribute 85 percent of the tax revenue to a homelessness prevention and mental health support fund. However, Section 19 of Article IV of the State's Constitution must also be amended to allow the same.

The California Gaming Association (CGA), a trade association of licensed cardrooms and vendors oppose the measure because it contains language that would primarily benefit Native American Casinos and subject other California card clubs to increased state regulations. The overall intent of the measure is to expand the Native American Casinos' domination over the gaming industry, adding exclusivity over Vegas -style roulette and dice games to their existing monopoly on slot machines. In addition, under this measure, sports wagering would only be allowed in person at tribal gaming casinos and state -licensed racetracks, thus prevent online or 50 mobile gaming in other California card clubs.

The City of Bell Gardens joins the Bicycle Hotel & Casino, Commerce Casino, Hawaiian Gardens Casino and others in their opposition to the California Legalize Sports Betting and American Indian Lands Initiative, along with the California Cities for Self -Reliance Joint Powers Authority (J PA) also known as the Gaming Cities J PA and its member cities as it negatively affects cardrooms in communities that greatly depend on them.

CONCLUSION:

The initiative seeks to outlaw lawfully -approved California -style games at California cardrooms such as The Bicycle Hotel & Casino. Further, proceeds from these activities would in part fund enforcement mechanisms against California cardrooms such as The Bicycle Hotel & Casino. The initiative negatively affects cardrooms in communities that greatly depend on them.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT FORAB 1400: CALIFORNIA GUARANTEED

HEALTH CARE FOR ALL
DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

AB 1400, introduced by Assemblymembers Ash Kalra, Alex Lee, and Miguel Santiago would do the following:

1. Establish a comprehensive universal single -payer health care coverage system for all California residents without discrimination, ensuring that affordable access to health care is a human right.

2. Establish a CalCare board of nine members that would have jurisdiction over enrollment policies, negotiate pricing, secure and allocate funding, and oversee all federal waivers.

3. Establish the CalCare Trust Fund in the State Treasury to provide a continuous and prudent source of funding for this program.

While the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has done much to ameliorate the crisis of insufficient healthcare coverage in California, many residents are still left without adequate means to access necessary medical resources. AB 1400 seeks to address this issue by implementing a universal single -payer health care coverage system. Specifically, this bill calls for government oversight that would establish a cost control system, offer a wide range of medical benefits equal to or of greater quality than existing state and private provision, establish working relationships accessibility for disabled persons and underrepresented groups to reach the ultimate goal of eliminating health care disparities in the state of California.

In terms of eligibility and enrollment, every resident of the state of California would not only be eligible but entitled to CalCare membership, without any fees. Additionally, to address the continuously increasing population of out-of-state university students in the state, CalCare would allow higher education institutions to purchase coverage for nonresident students. CalCare also addresses high -cost prescription drugs and includes dietary and nutrition therapies, in addition to coverage for long-term services currently denied under many plans.

The state of California has a diverse population that requires a flexible health care coverage 54 program to meet a range of needs. This legislation is a step in that direction, providing culturally - competent services through accommodations such as language interpretation, translation, and more integrated services for disabled Californians.

CONCLUSION:

The COVID-19 pandemic has only amplified the imperative for a more comprehensive, accessible, and transparent health care coverage system. CalCare would establish the CalCare Trust Fund in the State treasury, which would maintain an appropriate reserve of funding for responding to health emergencies such as epidemics, pandemics, or natural disasters.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Grissel Chavez, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CATCH BASIN MAINTENANCE SERVICES DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council by motion:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In 2002, the State Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) adopted the Los Angeles River (LA River) Trash Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) which is the requirement that all storm drain catch basins that ultimately drain into the LA River must be retrofitted with screens in order to prevent trash and litter from flowing into the LA River. The Regional Board required that these screens be installed on the corresponding storm water catch basins by 2016. As a result of this TMDL requirement, the City retrofitted the majority of its storm water catch basins located within the LA River watershed with trash screens. Those that were not retrofitted was due to it being infeasible due to shallowness of the catch basin, etc.

The Trash TMDL requires that each catch basin be cleaned and inspected a minimum of four times each year. Additionally, subsequent cleanings are required after each major storm event exceeding 1-inch of rainfall within a 24 hour period.

The City of Bell Gardens maintains approximately 344 storm drain catch basins within its boundaries. The City's existing contract with Ron's Maintenance, Inc. for catch basin cleaning services expired December 31, 2021.

Competitive Solicitation by Gateway Authority
On September 14, 2020, the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (Gateway Authority) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for Municipal Storm Sewer Catch Basin Cleaning on behalf of its member cities. As a member agency, the City of Bell Gardens may utilize this competitive solicitation process to select a Contractor to perform catch basin cleaning services.

The scope of work listed in the RFP included the catch basin inspection and cleaning/clearing of 58 all debris, for all catch basins maintained by the City for a minimum of one time between May 1 and September 30 of each year. In addition, the contractor shall perform one inspection of all catch basins within the City during the months of October, January, and April (wet season).

Inspections shall be performed at least monthly, but may be required more often if catch basins are not providing drainage at design capacity due to debris accumulation. During these subsequent inspections, the contractor shall immediately clean any catch basins found to have a blocked or clogged inlet or be at least twenty-five percent (25%) full of trash and debris.

A total of three (3) proposals were received by Gateway staff, and were deemed responsive to GWMA's requirements. Proposals were submitted by Nationwide Environmental Services (NES), Ron's Maintenance (RMI), and United Stormwater (United). Below is a breakdown of the three proposal costs:

Ron's Maintenance United Storm Water Nationwide
Inc. Inc. Environmental
ARS Catch Basins $25.00
$27.00
$38.50
CPS Catch Basins $25.00
$27.00
$38.50
ARS & CPS Catch
$25.00
$27.00
$38.50
Basins
Non -retrofitted Catch
$25.00
$27.00
$38.50
Basins
Based on the bids received, RMI is the lowest responsible qualified bidder. RMI has been the City's current contractor for this service and performing satisfactory work for the last 5 years.

Therefore, staff is recommending an award of contract to RMI to perform these services for the next three year term with the option to extend for two additional one-year periods.

CONCLUSION:

Entering into an agreement with Ron's Maintenance Inc. for the maintenance and cleaning of all storm drain catch basin units ensures that the City complies with the State Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Annual cleaning of the storm drain catch basin units is estimated to cost $34,400 a year. There are funds available in the FY 21 /22 Public Works budget, Commercial Waste Hauler Funds (250).

CONTRACTOR and any subcontractors shall, when they employ any person in any apprenticeable craft or trade, apply to the joint apprenticeship committee administering the apprenticeship standards of the craft or trade in the area of the work site for a certificate approving CONTRACTOR or subcontractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected; and shall comply with all other requirements of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code, which is incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. The responsibility of compliance with California Labor Code Section 1777.5 during the performance of this contract rests with CONTRACTOR. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1777.7, in the event CONTRACTOR willfully fails to comply with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1777.5, CONTRACTOR shall be denied the right to bid on any public works contract for up to three (3) years from the date noncompliance is determined and be assessed civil penalties.

G. In accordance with the provisions of Article 5, Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 (commencing with Section 1860), and Chapter 4, Part 1, Division 4 (commencing with Section 3700) of the California Labor Code, CONTRACTOR is required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees and for that purpose obtain and keep in effect adequate Workers' Compensation Insurance and Employers Liability Insurance. If CONTRACTOR, in the sole discretion of the CITY satisfies the CITY of the responsibility and capacity under the applicable Workers' Compensation Laws, if any, to act as self -insurer, CONTRACTOR may so act, and in such case, the insurance required by this paragraph need not be provided.

CONTRACTOR is advised of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code, which requires every employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code and shall comply with such provisions and have Employer's General Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident before commencing the performance of the Work of this Contract. The Notice to Proceed with the Work under this Contract will not be issued, and CONTRACTOR shall not commence the Work, until CONTRACTOR submits written evidence that it has obtained full Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage for all persons whom it employs or may employ in carrying out the Work under this Agreement. This insurance shall be in accordance with the requirements of the most current and applicable state Workers' Compensation Insurance Laws. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1861 of the California Labor Code, CONTRACTOR in signing this Contract certifies to the CITY as true the following statement: "I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which requires every employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Work of this contract." A subcontractor is not allowed to commence the Work on the project until verification of Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage has been obtained and verified by CONTRACTOR and submitted to the City Engineer for the CITY's review and records.

H. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1727 of the California Labor Code, Exhibit 2 791

the CITY, before making payment to CONTRACTOR of money due under a contract for public works, shall withhold and retain therefrom all wages and penalties which have been forfeited pursuant to any stipulation in the contract, and the terms of Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 of the California Labor Code (commencing with Section 1720). But no sum shall be withheld, retained or forfeited, except from the final payment, without a full investigation by either the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or by the CITY.

Section 11. Prohibited Interests. CONTRACTOR warrants, represents and maintains that it has not employed nor retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for CONTRACTOR, to solicitor secure this Agreement.

F. As an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR hereby indemnifies and holds CITY harmless from any and all claims that may be made against CITY based upon any contention by any third party that an employer -employee relationship exists by reason of this Agreement.

Section 13. Conflicts of Interest. CONTRACTOR hereby warrants for itself, its employees, and subcontractors that those persons presently have no interest and shall not obtain any interest, direct or indirect, which would conflict in any manner with the performance of the services contemplated by this Agreement. No person having such conflicting interest shall be employed by or associated with CONTRACTOR in connection with this project. CONTRACTOR hereby warrants for itself, its employees, and subcontractors that no such person shall engage in any conduct which would constitute a conflict of interest under any CITY ordinance, state law or federal statute.

Exhibit 2 11

Exhibit 2
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR hereby agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless CITY and CITY's elected and appointed officials, officers, attorneys, agents, employees, volunteers, successors, and assigns (collectively "Indemnitees") from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, expenses, judgments, penalties, liens, and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of accountants, attorneys, or other professionals and all costs associated therewith (collectively "Liabilities"), arising or claimed to arise, directly or indirectly, out of, in connection with, resulting from, or related to any act, failure to act, error, or omission of CONTRACTOR or any of CONTRACTOR's officers, agents, servants, employees, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers or their officers, agents, servants or employees, arising or claimed to arise, directly or indirectly, out of, in connection with, resulting from, or related to this Agreement and the performance or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Agreement, including this indemnity provision. This indemnity provision is effective regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by CONTRACTOR and shall operate to fully indemnify Indemnitees against any such negligence. This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement and is in addition to any other rights or remedies which Indemnitees may have under the law or elsewhere under this Agreement. Payment is not required as a condition precedent to an Indemnitee's right to recover under this indemnity provision, and an entry of judgment against any one or more of the Indemnitees shall be conclusive in favor of the Indemnitees' right to recover under this indemnity provision.

CONTRACTOR shall pay Indemnitees for any attorney's fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnification provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this instrument shall be construed to encompass (a) Indemnitees' sole negligence orwillful misconduct to the limited extent that the underlying Agreement is subject to Civil Code § 2782(a), or (b) the contracting public agency's active negligence to the limited extent that the underlying Agreement is subject to Civil Code § 2782(b). This indemnity is effective without reference to the existence or applicability of any insurance coverage(s) which may have been required under the Agreement or any additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees. Accountants, attorneys, or other professionals employed by Indemnitor to defend Indemnitees shall be selected by Indemnitees.

CONTRACTOR, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting within the scope of their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the Indemnitor regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by the Indemnitees.

B. CONTRACTOR's obligations under this or any other provision of this Agreement will not be limited by the provisions of any workers compensation act or similar act.

CONTRACTOR expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to the Indemnities.

C. CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those in this Section from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the i�

performance of this Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations for the benefit of CITY, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from and against any and all claims and losses, costs or expenses for any damage due to death or injury to any person and injury to any property resulting from any alleged, intentional, reckless, negligent or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR or any of its officers, employees, servants, agents, subcontractors, volunteers or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by counsel of CITY's choice.

D. CITY does not, and shall not; waive any rights that it may possess against CONTRACTOR because of the acceptance by CITY, or the deposit with CITY, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. This hold harmless and indemnification provision shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the claim, demand, damage, liability, loss, cost or expense. CONTRACTOR agrees that CONTRACTOR's covenant under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

E. CONTRACTOR shall fully comply with the workers' compensation laws regarding CONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR's employees. CONTRACTOR further agrees to indemnify and hold CITY harmless from any failure of CONTRACTOR to comply with applicable workers' compensation laws. CITY shall have the right to offset against the amount of any fees due to CONTRACTOR under this Agreement any amount due to CITY from CONTRACTOR as a result of CONTRACTOR's failure to promptly pay to CITY any reimbursement or indemnification arising under this Section.

Section 16. Insurance.

A. CONTRACTOR shall at all times during the term of this Agreement carry, maintain, and keep in full force and effect, insurance as follows:

1. Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each occurrence and in the aggregate for any personal injury, death, loss or damage.

2. Automobile Liability Insurance for any owned, non -owned or hired vehicle used in connection with the performance of this Agreement with minimum limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

3. Worker's Compensation insurance as required by the State of California.

B. CONTRACTOR shall require each of its sub -consultants or sub -contractors to maintain insurance coverage that meets all of the requirements of this Agreement.

C. The policies required by this Agreement shall be issued by an insurer admitted in Exhibit 2 ig

the State of California and with a rating of at least A:VII in the latest edition of Best's Insurance Guide.

D. CONTRACTOR agrees that if it does not keep the insurance required in this Agreement in full force and effect, CITY may either immediately terminate this Agreement or, if insurance is available at a reasonable cost, CITY may take out the necessary insurance and pay, at CONTRACTOR'S expense, the premium thereon.

E. Prior to commencement of Work under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall file with CITY's Risk Manager a certificate or certificates of insurance showing that the insurance policies are in effect and satisfy the required amounts and specifications required pursuant to this Agreement.

F. CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance expiring during the Term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof will be furnished at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.

G. The general liability and automobile policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement naming CITY, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, servants, volunteers, successors and assigns as additional insureds.

All of the policies shall contain an endorsement providing that the policies cannot be canceled or reduced except on thirty (30) days' prior written notice to CITY.

CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify the certificates of insurance to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word "endeavor" with regard to any notice provisions.

H. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall be primary and any other insurance, deductible, or self-insurance maintained by the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with this primary insurance. Policies shall contain or be endorsed to contain such provisions.

All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not prohibit CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR's employees, agents, subcontractors, or volunteers from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers.

J. Any deductibles or self -insured retentions must be approved by CITY. At the option of CITY, CONTRACTOR shall either reduce or eliminate the deductibles or self -insured retentions with respect to CITY, or CONTRACTOR shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and expenses.

K. If CONTRACTOR is a Limited Liability Company, general liability coverage must be amended so that the Limited Liability Company and its managers, affiliates, employees, agents, and other persons necessary or incidental to its operation are insureds.

Exhibit 2 A

L. Procurement of insurance by CONTRACTOR shall not be construed as a limitation of CONTRACTOR's liability or as full performance of CONTRACTOR's duties to indemnify, hold harmless and defend under Section 15 of this Agreement.

M. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

N. CITY reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

Section 17. Records and Inspection. CONTRACTOR shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such books and records as shall be necessary to document the performance of the Work and enable the CITY to evaluate the performance of the Work.

The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of CITY, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of four (4) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the CITY shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required.

Section 18. Termination.

A. Termination for Convenience. CITY may immediately terminate this Agreement for convenience, without cause and without penalty or liability at any time upon the issuance of written notice to CONTRACTOR specifying the effective date of such termination. Such termination for convenience shall be made in writing signed by either the City Representative, the City Manager or the Assistant City Manager.

CONTRACTOR may only terminate this Agreement for cause.

B. Termination for Cause. In the event either Party fails to perform any duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement (or fails to timely perform or properly perform any such duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement), an event of default (hereinafter, "Event of Default") shall occur. For all Events of Default, the Party alleging an Event of Default shall give written notice to the defaulting Party (hereinafter referred to as a "Default Notice") which shall specify: (i) the nature of the Event of Default; (ii) the action required to cure the Event of Default; (iii) a date by which the Event of Default shall be cured, which shall not be less than the applicable cure period set forth in this Section or if a cure is not reasonably possible within the applicable cure period, to begin such cure and diligently prosecute such cure to completion. The Event of Default shall constitute a breach of this Agreement if the defaulting Party fails to cure the Event of Default within the applicable cure period or any extended cure period allowed under this Agreement. An Event of Default shall include, but shall not be limited to the following: (i) CONTRACTOR's failure to fulfill or perform its obligations under Exhibit 2 19

this Agreement within the specified time or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time; (ii) CONTRACTOR's and/or its employees' disregard or violation of any federal, state, local law, rule, procedure or regulation; (iii) the initiation of proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, or similar legislation as relates to CONTRACTOR, whether voluntary of involuntary; (iv) CONTRACTOR's refusal or failure to perform or observe any covenant, condition, obligation or provision of this Agreement; and/or (v) CITY's discovery that a statement representation or warranty by CONTRACTOR relating to this Agreement is false or erroneous in any material respect, including any statement, representation or warranty set forth in the Equipment Specifications.

1. CONTRACTOR shall cure the following Event of Default within the following time periods:

Within three (3) business days of CITY's issuance of a Default Notice for any failure of CONTRACTOR to timely provide CITY or CITY's employees or agents with any information and/or written reports, documentation or work product which CONTRACTOR is obligated to provide to CITY or CITY's employees or agents under this Agreement.

Prior to the expiration of the 3-day cure period, CONTRACTOR may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONTRACTOR has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 3-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY shall be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an Event of Default under this subsection that exceeds seven (7) calendar days from the end of the initial 3-day cure period; or
ii. Within thirty (30) calendar days of CITY's issuance of a Default Notice for any other Event of Default under this Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the 30-day cure period, CONTRACTOR may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONTRACTOR has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 30-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY shall be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an Event of Default under this subsection that exceeds thirty (30) calendar days from the end of the initial 30-day cure period.

If an Event of Default relates to a material falsehood or misrepresentation set forth in Exhibit "B" that is not susceptible to a cure, CITY in its sole and absolute discretion may elect to treat the falsehood or misrepresentation as a breach of this Agreement or waive the falsehood or misrepresentation. The foregoing notwithstanding, the prior waiver of a falsehood or misrepresentation as an Event of Default shall not operate as a waiver or any other falsehood or misrepresentation later discovered by CITY.

2. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, CITY shall cure any Event of Default asserted by CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) calendar days of CONTRACTOR's issuance of a Default Notice, unless the Event of Default Exhibit 2 1

cannot reasonably be cured within the 30-day cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 30-day cure period, CITY may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CITY has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 30-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, an Event of Default dealing with CITY's failure to timely pay any undisputed sums to CONTRACTOR shall be cured by CITY within five (5) calendar days from the date of CONTRACTOR's Default Notice to CITY.

3. CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also immediately suspend CONTRACTOR's performance under this Agreement (or the performance of any specific task or function performed by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement) pending CONTRACTOR's cure of any Event of Default by giving CONTRACTOR written notice of CITY's intent to suspend CONTRACTOR's performance (hereinafter, a "Suspension Notice"). CITY may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Upon such suspension, CONTRACTOR shall be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONTRACTOR to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY shall operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY's ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

4. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

5. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.

In addition to any other remedies available to CITY at law or under this Agreement in the event of any breach of this Agreement, CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

Upon written notice to CONTRACTOR, the CITY may immediately terminate this Agreement in whole or in part;
ii. Upon written notice to CONTRACTOR, the CITY may extend the time of performance;
iii. The CITY may proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of the Agreement to recover damages for CONTRACTOR's breach of the Agreement or to terminate the Agreement; or
iv. The CITY may exercise any other available and lawful right or remedy.

CONTRACTOR shall be liable for all legal fees plus other costs and expenses Exhibit 2 16

that CITY incurs upon a breach of this Agreement or in the CITY's exercise of its remedies under this Agreement.

6. In the event CITY is in breach of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR's sole remedy shall be the suspension or termination of this Agreement and/or the recovery of any unpaid sums lawfully owed to CONTRACTOR under this Agreement for completed services and tasks. In no event shall CONTRACTOR be entitled to receive more than the amount that would be paid to CONTRACTOR for the full performance of the services required by this Agreement.

7. No waiver of any default or breach under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other default or breach, whether of the same or other covenant, warranty, agreement, term, condition, duty or requirement contained in this Agreement. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

Section 19. Force Majeure. The Completion Date shall be extended in the event of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control of CONTRACTOR and without the fault or negligence of CONTRACTOR, including but not limited to severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the CITY, if the CONTRACTOR shall within three (3) calendar days of the commencement of such delay notify the City Representative in writing of the causes of the delay. The City Representative shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the City Representative such delay is justified. The City Representative's determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. In no event shall CONTRACTOR be entitled to recover damages against the CITY for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, CONTRACTOR'S sole remedy being extension of the Agreement pursuant to this Section.

Section 20. Notices. Any notices, bills, invoices, or reports required by this Agreement shall be deemed received on: (a) the day of delivery if delivered by hand or overnight courier service during CONTRACTOR's and CITY's regular business hours; or (b) on the third business day following deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses heretofore below, or to such other addresses as the parties may, from time to time, designate in writing.

Release Date: 06/15/2020
Questions Due to GWMA: 07/10/2020
Proposal Due Date: 07/31/2020
Public notice is hereby given that The Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority ("Gateway Water Management Authority" or "GWMA") invites proposals for the above -stated project and will receive such proposals electronically only up to the hour of 4:00 pm, Pacific Standard Time (PST) on Friday, July 31, 2020.

The description of work to be done is attached to this RFP.

This is a catch basin cleaning proposal which does not require a specific Contractor's License or prevailing wage payments as determined by the Department of Industrial Relation (DIR) because the catch basin cleaning is being performed purely for environmental reasons and to satisfy waste discharge requirements imposed by the State Water Resources Control Board and Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (See DIR opinion PW 2005-014 (Sediment Removal from Storm Drains — California Department of Transportation)). No maintenance work as provided in California Labor Code Section 1771 nor any other work requiring the payment of prevailing wages shall be performed under the contract or contracts entered into pursuant to this solicitation.

The GWMA is soliciting bids on behalf of its member municipalities, but will not enter into a contract with any Company. Please note this is not a low bid solicitation and each individual municipality may decide to enter into a contract with one or more of the Companies and can negotiate prices with any Company or chose another Company altogether.

Proposals must be prepared in conformance with the Instructions to Proposers.

The GWMA reserves the rights to reject any or all proposals for any reason or no reason, to waive any irregularity in any proposals, and to take all proposals under advisement for a period of 30 days.

MUNICIPAL STORM SEWER CATCH BASIN CLEANING
(RF P 2020-01)

DESCRIPTION OF WORK TO BE DONE
The Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority ("Gateway Water Management Authority" or "GWMA") is a coalition of 30 public agencies responsible for the regional water planning needs of two million people in the Gateway Region of Southeast Los Angeles County.

In 2009, the Gateway Water Management Authority was awarded a $10,000,000 stimulus grant through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) to retrofit over 10,000 catch basins in 16 cities tributary to the Los Angeles River to meet Trash Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) targets.

The Gateway Water Management Authority is seeking proposals for cleaning of catch basins within the entire Gateway Region (Los Angeles River and San Gabriel River tributaries). The Gateway Region is comprised of the following municipalities: the cities of Artesia, Avalon, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Cerritos, Commerce, Compton, Cudahy, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Huntington Park, La Habra Heights, La Mirada, Lakewood, Long Beach, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Signal Hill, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier (the "Contracting Agencies"). All, some, or none of the municipalities within the Gateway Region may accept a proposer's pricing and terms. Individual municipalities may also negotiate terms with any proposer. The maximum total number of catch basins, if all municipalities enter into contracts , is estimated at between 14,000 and 18,000. The Gateway Water Management Authority will not enter into a contract for this work.

Each proposer whose proposal is accepted will be required to clean catch basins with connector pipe screens (CPS) and/or automatic retractable screens (ARS) and unmodified catch basins in accordance with the agreements entered into with the individual Contracting Agencies. Each Contracting Agency has a varying number of catch basins; therefore, proposals shall be made on a per catch basin basis and will remain in effect for 3 years from the date of acceptance.

Contract Work (the cleaning of catch basins owned by the Contracting Agencies):

Each successful proposer ("Company") shall inspect at regular intervals and clear all debris in catch basins within the jurisdiction of the Contracting Agencies with which the Company has entered into a contract a minimum of one time between May 1 and September 30 of each year. In addition, the Company shall perform one inspection of all catch basins within the jurisdiction of the Contracting Agencies with which the Company has entered into a contract during the months of October, January, and April. The Los Angeles MS4 Permit requires trash capture inserts be cleaned at regular intervals to maintain efficiency. The Company is not being contracted to, and shall not perform repair, maintenance or other work, that would require a Contractor's License or the payment of prevailing wages.

The Company shall report to the appropriate Contracting Agency any damaged catch basin screens and missing stenciling requirements. The Company shall report evidence of rodents and/or vectors breeding/living in the storm drain system to the appropriate Contracting Agencies within twenty-four (24) hours of discovery.

Exhibit 2 86

fGATEWAY WATER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
The Company shall be responsible for developing and implementing traffic control procedures in accordance with California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (latest addition). The Contracting Agency may request written copies of Traffic Control Plans for collector or arterial streets, if necessary.

The Company shall take no less than five (5) photos documenting the before and after conditions of all debris cleaning, from the same vantage points, of each condition. All photos shall be at least 4 megapixel (MP) in quality, in jpeg (.jpg) format, labeled such that it is easy to identify each catch basin location, and submitted with the invoice to the appropriate Contracting Agency.

Proposed pricing shall be submitted for each type of catch basin and shall include costs to clean each type for a twelve-month period including inspections and debris removal, as specified. The appropriate Contracting Agency will pay the Company for each of the required inspections and cleanings based on the Company's proposal or such other terms to which the Contracting Agency Company shall otherwise agree. Requests for payment shall be submitted to the appropriate Contracting Agency upon completion of each of the four required inspections and cleanings. The Contracting Agency may request additional cleanings based on the Company proposal.

The following tables are an approximate total of catch basins that the municipalities own and are responsible for. If the Contracting Agencies sign contracts based on this proposal, the awarding Companies are advised to work with the appropriate Contracting Agencies to arrive at an accurate and complete list of catch basins within the appropriate Contracting Agencies.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Jane Halstead, City Clerk
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A30-DAY RESOLUTION

REGARDING THE CONDUCT OF TELECONFERENCED MEETINGS OF

THE CITY COUNCILAND OTHER CITY BODIES UNDER THE MODIFIED RULES SET FORTH UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(E)
DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency throughout the state of California, in response to the rapid spread and threat of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID- 19). On the same day, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health ("LACDPH") declared a local emergency and local public health emergency throughout Los Angeles County. On March 17, 2020, the City of Bell Gardens City Council ("City Council") declared a local emergency due to COVID-19 and have reviewed the need for a local emergency at least once every 60 days since the initial declaration pursuant to Government Code Section 8630(c).

Currently, the state -declared emergency remains in effect. On January 5, 2022, the Department of Public Health extended the requirement for universal masking requirements through February 15, 2022. Furthermore, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health Order of the Health Officer, January 5, 2022 Order requires indoor masking by all, regardless of vaccination status.

On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 361 (Rivas, 2021), which authorizes local agencies to continue to hold public meetings remotely under modified teleconferencing requirements set forth in the Brown Act (Government Code section 54953(b)(3)) during a state -declared emergency, as that term is defined, and when either state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or in situations when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. AB 361 went into effect immediately and sunsets on January 1, 2024.

On Monday, January 10, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-03, ratifying the 109

proclamation of a State of Emergency by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, and authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council, City Boards, and all Commissions of the City of Bell Gardens, for the period from January 10, 2022 through February 9, 2022 pursuant to Brown Act provisions.

Under AB 361, legislative bodies of the City can meet remotely during a declared State of Emergency by the Governor that includes the jurisdictional boundaries of the City, if the legislative body determines that one of the following is also true:

1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended social distancing; or

2. To determine, by a majority vote, whether to hold remote meetings as a result of the State of Emergency, because meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; or

3. The legislative body holds a meeting having already determined by a majority vote to hold remote meetings.

Modified Brown Act requirements underAB 361, include, among other provisions, that:

Members of the public must be allowed to address the body and offer comments in real-time during the meeting.

I n the event of a technical disruption, the public agency cannot take any further action on the agenda until the issue is resolved.

Public agencies may not require public comments be submitted in advance (this is still a permissible option but cannot be the only option).

Members of the public must be given a reasonable time to register to provide public comment, if necessary, and agencies that provide a timed public comment period shall not close the remote public comment option until that timed period has expired.

Once the initial authorizing resolution is adopted, ongoing authorization every thirty (30) days is required by majority vote. If the legislative body desires to continue using the teleconference exception, it must confirm the circumstances of the State of Emergency thirty (30) days after the first teleconference meeting and every thirty (30) days thereafter. Given that Resolution Number 2022-03 expires on February 9, 2022, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the attached resolution before the existing resolution lapses prior to the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

CONCLUSION:

If approved, the following will be adopted or approved:
1) The attached Resolution authorizing the City conduct public meetings virtually for all public bodies subject to the Brown Act in accordance with the requirements of AB 361, which will require reauthorization every (thirty) 30 days.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

Updates as of January 5, 2022:
• Extends requirement for universal masking indoors statewide December 15, 2021, through February 15, 2022.

Guidance For the Use of Masks
Background
The COVID-19 vaccines remain effective in preventing serious disease, hospitalization, and death from the SARS- CoV-2 virus. Unvaccinated persons are more likely to get infected and spread the virus which is transmitted through the air and concentrates indoors. To ensure that we collectively protect the health and well-being of all Californians; keep schools open for in -person instruction; and allow California's economy to remain open and thrive, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is requiring masks to be worn in all indoor public settings, irrespective of vaccine status, until February 15, 2022. This requirement will be updated as CDPH continues to assess conditions on an ongoing basis.

This measure brings an added layer of mitigation as the Omicron variant, a Variant of Concern as labeled by the World Health Organization, continues to increase in prevalence across California, the United States, and the world and spreads much more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Delta variant.

Over the last two weeks, the statewide seven-day average case rate has increased by more than sixfold and hospitalizations have doubled. While the percentage of Californians fully vaccinated and boosted continues to increase, we continue to have areas of the state where vaccine coverage is low, putting individuals and Exhibit 2 116

communities at greater risk for COVID-19. Given the current hospital census, which is overcapacity, the surge in cases and hospitalizations has materially impacted California's health care delivery system within many regions of the state. Staffing levels area [so increasingly impacted by COVID-19 transmission in many critical sectors.

As noted in the Science Brief[1] by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated in December 2021, at least ten studies have confirmed the benefit of universal masking in community level analyses: in a unified hospital system,[2] a German city,[3] two U.S. states,[4], [5] a panel of 15 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.,[6], [7] as well as both Canada[8] and the U.S.[9], [10], [11] nationally. Each analysis demonstrated that, following directives for universal masking, new infections fell significantly. Two of these studies[12], [13] and an additional analysis of data from 200 countries that included the U.S.[14] also demonstrated reductions in mortality. Another 10-site study showed reductions in hospitalization growth rates following mask mandate implementation.[15] Implementing a universal masking requirement not only has proven to decrease the rate of infections but is able to slow community transmission. A series of cross -sectional surveys in the U.S. suggested that a 10% increase in self -reported mask wearing tripled the likelihood of slowing community transmission.[16] The masking requirement in California schools has allowed us to keep schools open when compared to other parts of the country. California accounts for roughly 12% of all U.S. students, but only 1% of COVID-19 related school closures. Nationally during the Delta surge in July and August 2021, jurisdictions without mask requirements in schools experienced larger increases in pediatric case rates, and school outbreaks were 3.5 times more likely in areas without school mask requirements.[17], [18] In workplaces, employers are subject to the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) or in some workplaces the Cal/OSHA Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (ATD) Standard and should consult those regulations for additional applicable requirements.

Masking Requirements
Masks are required for all individuals in all indoor public settings, regardless of vaccination status from December 15, 2021 through February 15, 2022 [surgical masks or higher -level respirators (e.g., N95s, KN95s, KF94s) with good fit are recommended].

See State Health Officer Order, issued on July 26, 2021, for a full list of high -risk congregate and other healthcare settings where surgical masks are required for unvaccinated workers, and recommendations for respirator use for unvaccinated workers in healthcare and long-term care facilities in situations or settings not covered by Cal OSHA ETS or ATD.

For additional information on types of masks, the most effective masks, and ensuring a well -fitted mask, individuals should refer to CDPH Get the Most out of Masking and see CDPH Masking Guidance Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

No person can be prevented from wearing a mask as a condition of participation in an activity or entry into a business.

Exemptions to masks requirements
The following individuals are exempt from wearing masks at all times:
• Persons younger than two years old. Very young children must not wear a mask because of the risk of suffocation.
• Persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a mask. This includes persons with a medical condition for whom wearing a mask could obstruct breathing or who are Exhibit 2 117

unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove a mask without assistance. • Persons who are hearing impaired, or communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication. • Persons for whom wearing a mask would create a risk to the person related to their work, as determined by local, state, or federal regulators or workplace safety guidelines.

ORDER OF THE HEALTH OFFICER' .Health
weekly average of 1,247.71 new cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 persons. According to the CDC's threshold of 100 or more new cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 persons, the County remains at a High rate of community transmission of COVID-19. This Order continues to require indoor masking by all, regardless of vaccination status, to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County.

This Order mainly aligns with the State Public Health Officer Orders of June 11, 2021 and December 13 & 31, 2021. It continues to place certain safety requirements on individuals consistent with federal and state rules. Further, this Order incorporates by reference the July 26, 2021, and December 22, 2021 Order of the State Public Health Officer, which requires specific transmission prevention measures to be taken by Acute Health Care and Long -Term Care settings, High -Risk Congregate settings, and Other Health Care settings. In addition, this Order continues to require that all persons, 2 years of age and older, wear face masks while in indoor public settings and businesses, with limited exceptions, as a protective measure with this High level of community transmission. On July 28, 2021, the CDC, and the California Department of Public Health each issued new guidance validating the universal indoor masking requirements of this Order. The CDC's Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated' People advises that "preliminary evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people who do become infected with the Delta variant can spread the virus to others" and therefore recommends that fully vaccinated people should wear a mask in indoor settings if they are in a [geographic] area where there is Substantial or High rates of COVID-19 community transmission. Moreover, on December 13, 2021, the State Public Health Officer required universal masking, irrespective of vaccination status, between December 15, 2021, and January 15, 2022, in public indoor settings throughout California. The State Public Health Officer explained that the universal indoor masking requirement "brings an added layer of mitigation as the Omicron variant, a Variant of Concern as labeled by the World Health Organization, is detected across California, the United States, and the world and is likely to spread more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Delta variant. Additionally, this new measure brings additional protection to individuals, families, and communities during the holidays when more travel occurs, and time is spent indoors."
This Order continues some requirements on businesses and government entities, such as a general requirement to report to Public Health positive cases in the workplace and in schools, requirements for signage, and a proof of vaccination or a recent negative test for COVID-19 requirement for admission into Indoor and Outdoor Mega Events. Due to the recent and drastic increases in COVID-19 cases due to the transmissibility of the Omicron variant, this Order installs a new masking requirement at Cardrooms. All patrons must wear masks at all times while indoors at Cardrooms, except when actively consuming food and beverages in designated dining areas. Patrons may not remove their masks while engaging in entertainment or gaming activities. Further, Public Health strongly recommends that at Mega Events, Performance Venues, Movie Theatres and Entertainment Venues, food and drink only be consumed, where possible, in designated dining areas.

other areas where people may be gathering to participate in non-food/beverage consumption activities. In addition, Mega Events, Performance Venues, Movie Theatres and Entertainment Venues are responsible for messaging, signage, and compliance with masking requirement unless spectators/customers are actively eating or drinking. Also, this Order includes best practice recommendations to reduce COVID-19 risk for individuals, businesses, and government entities.

COVID-19 daily cases and community transmission of COVID-19 are at a high level; on January 4, 2022 alone, Los Angeles County reported 21,790 new cases. Since Thanksgiving Day, the County's test positivity rate and hospitalizations have steadily increased. As of December 28, 2021, Los Angeles County is reporting a 7-day daily average case rate of 150.4 cases per 100,000 people. These statistics indicate a continued and high risk of COVID-19 infection for those who are not or cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19. Based upon federal CDC indicators and thresholds, this means that community transmission of COVID-19 within the County of Los Angeles is now High, and highly likely to increase as we are at a time when respiratory viruses, like influenza and SARS-CoV-2, spread more easily. Moreover, with the emergence and arrival of the Omicron variant, the risk of rapid community transmission has increased.

Even though more people in Los Angeles County and the region are vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19, there remains a risk that when outside of their residence people may come into contact with others who may have COVID-19. There are millions of people in Los Angeles County who are not yet vaccinated against COVID-19, including children under 5 years of age who are not currently eligible to be vaccinated, and people who are immunocompromised and may be particularly vulnerable to infection and disease. Most COVID-19 infections are spread by people who have no or mild symptoms of infection. The Delta and Omicron variants of the virus spread more easily. In the absence of physical distancing requirements for the public and capacity limits for indoor and outdoor settings, unvaccinated and partially vaccinated persons are more likely to get infected and spread the virus, which is transmitted through the air and concentrates in indoor settings. Additionally, we continue to see increases in COVID-19 infections among fully vaccinated persons, albeit at a significantly lower rate than those among persons who are not fully vaccinated.

The current COVID-19 vaccines remain effective at helping to reduce the risk of getting and spreading the infection. They also continue to significantly reduce the risk of getting seriously ill even if a fully vaccinated person gets COVID-19, including against the current variants of the virus that causes COVID-19. Although no vaccine is 100 percent effective at preventing illness in vaccinated people, the currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines remain the best form of protection against COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death. Vaccinations are widely available to those 5 years and older.

The best way to reduce the current level of community transmission and to prevent future surges is for everyone who is eligible, including those who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection, to get fully vaccinated as soon as possible. People at risk for severe illness with COVID-19, such as unvaccinated older adults and unvaccinated individuals with health risks, and members of their households, are strongly urged to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as they can if Responding Together at Work and in the Community Beyond The Blueprint For A Safer Economy, Page 3 of 18 High Transmission — Encouraging COVID-19 Vaccination and Booster Dose Coverage with Signifcant Risk Reduction Measures Revised 1/5/2022

they have not already done so. And all persons who are fully vaccinated should also receive a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they are eligible since studies show the protection from the primary COVID-19 vaccination may decrease over time. With an increased immune response, people should have improved protection against getting infected with and seriously ill from COVID-19, including the variants. Those who are not fully vaccinated are urged to adhere to both the required and recommended risk reduction measures.

We must remain vigilant against variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, especially given High levels of transmission here and in other parts of the world and the emergence of the Omicron variant for which current COVID-19 vaccines may not be as effective at preventing infection but are expected to protect against severe illness, including hospitalizations and death from infection. Currently, the Delta variant remains predominant in Los Angeles County. The Delta variant is two times as contagious than early COVID-19 variants and continues to lead to increased infections. The recent emergence and arrival of the Omicron variant may further increase that infection risk. Additionally, data suggests that the immune response to COVID-19 vaccination might be reduced in some immunocom promised people, which increases their risk of serious health consequences from COVID-19 infection. It is, therefore, prudent to require continued indoor masking for all as an effective public health measure to reduce transmission between people.

This Order is issued to help slow and decrease the level of community transmission of COVID- 19 here in Los Angeles County.

This Order's primary intent is to reduce the transmission risk of COVID-19 in the County for all, especially those who are not fully vaccinated and fully vaccinated but immunocompromised persons, in the absence of other protective measures, like physical distancing requirements and capacity limits. Accordingly, this Order allows Businesses, schools, and other activities to remain open while at the same time putting in place certain requirements designed to (1) limit transmission risk of COVID-19 and (2) reduce the risk of any COVID-19 outbreaks.

This Order will be revised in the future, if needed, to reflect the State Executive Orders, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health's (better known as Cal/OSHA) worksite requirements, State Public Health Officer Orders and guidance, and CDC recommendations.

Should local COVID-19 conditions warrant, the County Health Officer may, after consultation with the Board of Supervisors, issue Orders that are more restrictive than those of the State Public Health Officer.

This Order is effective within the County of Los Angeles Public Health Jurisdiction, defined as all cities and unincorporated areas within the County of Los Angeles, except for the cities of Long Beach and Pasadena that must follow their respective City Health Officer orders and guidance. This Order is effective at 12:01am on Thursday, January 06, 2022 and will continue until further notice.

ORDER OF THE HEALTH OFFICER

UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND
SAFETY CODE SECTIONS 101040,101085, AND 120175,
THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES HEALTH OFFICER ORDERS:

1. This Order supersedes the Health Officer's Prior Order.

2. This Order's intent is to continue to protect the community from COVID-19 and to also increase vaccination and booster dose rates to reduce transmission of COVID-1 9 long-term, so that the whole community is safer and the COVID-1 9 health emergency can come to an end.2 Failure to comply with any of the Order's provisions constitutes an imminent threat and menace to public health, and a public nuisance, and is punishable by citation or fin e. a) This Order does not supersede any stricter limitation imposed by a local public entity within the County of Los Angeles Public Health Jurisdiction. The Order is consistent with existing authority that local health jurisdictions may implement or continue more restrictive public health measures if the jurisdiction's Local Health Officer determines that health conditions in that jurisdiction warrant such measures. Where a conflict exists between this Order and any State Public Health Officer Order related to controlling the spread of COVID-19 during this pandemic, the most restrictive provision controls, unless the County of Los Angeles is subject to a court order requiring it to act on, or enjoining it from enforcing, any part of this Order.

3. All persons living within the County of Los Angeles Public Health Jurisdiction should continue to always practice required and recommended COVID-19 infection control measures and when among other persons when in community, work, social or school settings, especially when multiple unvaccinated persons from different households may be present and in close contact with each other, especially when in indoor or crowded outdoor settings.

All persons in the general public must comply with isolation and quarantine requirements provided in the Health Officer Public Health Emergency IIIsolafiai�i Qrd&r and Qiii,jairai,iflne (1ldei% Those requirements include the following:
a) Isolation: All persons who test positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, previous infection, or lack of symptoms, must self -isolate for at least 5 days.

Persons may only end their self -isolation after Day 5 if a) they are asymptomatic or are fever free and their symptoms are improving and b) they take a diagnostic specimen3 collected on Day 5 or later and test negative. If unable to test or they choose not to test, and symptoms are not present or are resolving, isolation can end after day 10. Wear a well -fitting mask around others, indoors and outdoors, for a total of 10 days. Adults should wear a well -fitting medical grade mask (surgical or respirator). Children should wear a well -fitting, non -cloth mask of multiple layers of non -woven material with a nose wire.

I People are considered "fully vaccinated" against COVID-19 two weeks or more after they have received the second dose in a 2-close series (e.g., Pfizer-BloNTech or Modema) or 2 weeks or more after they have received a single -dose vaccine (e.g., Johnson and Johnson [J&JyJanssen).
3 An antigen test, nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or LAMP test are acceptable; however, it is recommended that persons use an antigen test for ending isolation. Exposed persons who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 within 90 days prior to their current exposure should also use an antigen test.

b) Quarantine: All unvaccinated persons or fully vaccinated persons who are eligible for a boosters but have not yet received their booster dose, who are close contacts of a COVID-19 case, must quarantine for at least 5 days after their last contact with a person who has COVID-19. Such persons should test immediately and, if negative, should test again on Day 5 after their last exposure. Persons may only end their quarantine period after day 5 if a) they are asymptomatic and b) they take a diagnostic specimen collected on day 5 or later and test negative. If unable to test or they choose not to test, and symptoms are not present, quarantine can end after day 10. Wear a well -fitting mask while around others, indoors and outdoors, for a total of 10 days.

Adults should wear a well -fitting medical grade mask (surgical or respirator). Children should wear a well -fitting, non -cloth mask of multiple layers of non -woven material with a nose wire.

If symptoms occur, individuals should immediately isolate and test as soon as possible (do not wait until 5 days after exposure to retest if symptoms develop earlier) and, if positive, self -isolate as described above.
c) Individuals who have received their COVID-19 vaccine booster or are fully vaccinated but not yet eligible for a booster do not need to quarantine following an COVID-19 exposure. Such persons should test immediately, and if negative, should test again on Day 5 after your last contact with a person who has COVID-19. Further, they must wear a well -fitting medical grade mask (surgical or respirator) while around others, indoors and outdoors, for 10 days after the exposure. If symptoms occur, individuals should immediately isolate and test as soon as possible (do not wait until 5 days after exposure to retest if symptoms develop earlier) and, if positive, continue to self -isolate as described above.
d) In establishments and settings with active outbreaks, quarantine and isolation may be extended for additional days by County Public Health outbreak investigators to help lower the risk of ongoing transmission at the site.

4. Face Masks. All individuals must follow the requirements included in both the requirements of this Order and the July 28, 2021 and December 13, 2021 Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings issued by the California. Department of Public Health. a) These requirements are aligned with July 28, 2021 recommendations issued by the CDC. The CDC recommendations provide information about both indoor and higher risk settings where masks are required or recommended to prevent transmission to:
i. Persons with a higher risk of infection (e.g., unvaccinated or immunocompromised persons),
ii. Persons with prolonged, cumulative exposures (e.g., workers), or iii. Persons whose vaccination status is unknown.
4 Includes persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, including within the last 90 days. e Same as footnote 4.

7. Considerations for Persons at Hi her Risk for Ne ative Health Outcomes: At this time, people at risk for severe illness or death from COVID-1 9—such as unvaccinated older adults and unvaccinated individuals with health risks —and members of their household, should defer participating in activities with other people outside their household where taking protective measures, including wearing face masks and social distancing, may not occur or will be difficult, especially indoors or in crowded spaces. For those who are not yet fully vaccinated, staying home or choosing outdoor activities as much as possible with physical distancing from other households whose vaccination status is unknown is the best way to prevent the risk of COVID-1 9 transmission.

8. Encouragie Activities that Can Occur Outdoors. All Businesses and governmental entities are urged to consider moving operations or activities outdoors, where feasible and to the extent allowed by local law and permitting requirements, because there is generally less risk of COVID-19 transmission outdoors as opposed to indoors.

In addition, by November 4, 2021, all on -site employees must provide their employer with proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 (see footnote 5).
h) Restaurants. These indoor venues serve food or drink indoors and are required to maintain a valid public health permit to operate. Due to the increased risk of transmission at places where persons are indoors and unmasked, the County Health Officer strongly recommends that the operators of these venues reserve and prioritize indoor seating and service for patrons who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. They should verify the full vaccination status of all patrons, 12 years of age or older, who will be seated indoors for food or beverage service. Patrons who cannot provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 should be served in outdoor portions of the facility, where the risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19 is less likely when compared to being indoors. See paragraphs 11.i.a through 11.i.c for further clarification. i) For clarity, individuals who do not provide proof of partial or full vaccination at bars, breweries, wineries, distilleries, nightclubs and lounges, may use the outdoor portions of the facility, but may not remain inside the facility except as solely provided in the subsections below:
a. The individual, who is wearing a well -fitted mask, may enter the indoor portion of the facility as part of their employment to make a delivery or pick-up, provide a service or repair to the facility, or for an emergency or regulatory purpose. b.

REASONS FOR THE ORDER

12.This Order is based upon the following determinations: continued evidence of sustained and High community transmission of COVID-19 within the County; documented asymptomatic transmission; scientific evidence and best practices regarding the most effective approaches to slow the transmission of communicable diseases generally and COVID-19 specifically; evidence that millions of people in the County population continue to beat risk for infection with serious health complications, including hospitalizations and death from COVID-19, due to age, pre-existing health conditions, being unvaccinated or not eligible for vaccination, and the increasing presence of more infectious variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 and which have been shown to cause more severe disease being present in the County; preliminary evidence that suggests that fully vaccinated people who do become infected can spread the Responding Together at Work and in the Community Beyond The Blueprint For A Safer Economy, Page 14 of 18 High Transmission —Encouraging COVID-19 Vaccination and Booster Dose Coverage with Significant Risk Reduction Measures Revised 1/5/2022

virus to others; and further evidence that other County residents, including younger and otherwise healthy people, are also at risk for serious negative health outcomes and for transmitting the virus to others, and emergence of the new Omicron variant. The Order's intent is to continue to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection for all, especially those who are not or cannot be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in the County.

13. Existing community transmission of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County remains High and continues to present a high risk of infection and harm to the health of those who are not or cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccinations are widely available to those 5 years and older. New variants of the virus that may spread more easily or cause more severe illness are increasingly present in our county and remain a risk for both those who are fully vaccinated as well as those who not vaccinated against COVID-19. As of, January 4, 2022, there have been at least 1,780,154 cases of COVID-19 and 27,671 deaths reported in Los Angeles County. Increased interactions during the Thanksgiving Holiday among members of the public have resulted in an increased number of daily new cases. As of December 28, 2021, the 7-day average daily case rate is now at 150.4 cases per 100,000 people, indicating High community transmission, in the absence of capacity limits and physical distancing requirements across sectors in both indoor and outdoor settings. Making the risk of community transmission worse, some individuals who contract the COVID-19 virus have no symptoms or have only mild symptoms, and so are unaware that they carry the virus and are transmitting it to others. Because even people without symptoms can transmit the virus, and because new evidence shows the infection is now more easily spread, universal indoor masking is a risk reduction measure that is proven to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus.

14.Epidemiologic evidence demonstrates that the rate of community transmission, hospitalizations and testing positivity rates have all significantly increased since November 26, 2021. Although nearly 16 million vaccine doses have been administered and nearly 6.9 million residents ages 5 and older are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Los Angeles County, COVID-19 infection remains a significant health hazard to all residents.

In line with the State Public Health Officer, the Health Officer will continue to monitor scientific evidence and epidemiological data within the County.

15. The Health Officer will continue monitoring epidemiological data to assess the impact of lifting restrictions and fully re -opening sectors. Those Indicators include, but are not limited to:
a) The number of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths among residents in areas in the lowest Healthy Places Index (HPI) quartile and by race/ethnicity. b) The COVID-19 case rate.
c) The percentage of COVID-19 tests reported that are positive. d) The availability of COVID-19 vaccines and the percentage of eligible County residents vaccinated against COVID-19.
e) The number of fully vaccinated people who get sick, are hospitalized, or die from COVID-19.

17. If any subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Order or any application of it to any person, structure, gathering, or circumstance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, then such decision will not affect the validity of the remaining portions or applications of this Order.

18.This Order incorporates by reference, the March 4, 2020 Proclamation of a State of Emergency issued by Governor Gavin Newsom and the March 4, 2020 declarations of a local and public health emergency issued by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Los Angeles County Health Officer, respectively, and as they may be supplemented.

19. This Order may be revised in the future as the State Public Health Officer amends its guidance to reflect evolving public health conditions and recommendations issued by the federal CDC and other public health authorities. Should local COVID-19 conditions warrant, the Health Officer may, after consultation with the Board of Supervisors, issue orders that are more restrictive than the guidance and orders issued by the State Public Health Officer.

20.This Order is consistent with the provisions in the Governor's Executive Order N-60-20 and the State Public Health Officer's May 7, 2020 Order, that local health jurisdictions may implement or continue more restrictive public health measures in the jurisdiction if the local health officer believes conditions in that jurisdiction warrant them. Where a conflict exists between this Order and any state public health order related to controlling the spread of COVID-19 during this pandemic, the most restrictive provision controls. Consistent with California Health and Safety Code section 131080, except where the State Health Officer may issue an order expressly directed at this Order or a provision of this Order and based upon a finding that a provision of this Order constitutes a menace to the public health, any more restrictive measures in this Order may continue to apply and control in the County of Los Angeles Public Health Jurisdiction.

Item 10.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Gustavo Romo, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: RENT CONTROL UPDATE
DATE: January 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council receive and file this update.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On October 28, 2019, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 900-U to protect tenants from unreasonable rent increases as an urgency measure prior to the State's implementation of Assembly Bill 1482. The urgency ordinance was intended to prevent property owners of multi- family units (duplex and higher) in the City of Bell Gardens from increasing rents by more than three percent (3%) or evicting a tenant without "just cause" (e.g., failure to pay rent or comply with City codes) during the short unprotected period from the time the Governor signed the bill on September 14, 2019, to the end of the year before the State law went into effect on January 1, 2020.

On December 9, 2019, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No.902-U to extend the initial 45-day ordinance (i.e., 900-U) until the end of the year. Once AB 1482 went into effect, the City decided to wait to see how effective the new State law would be before considering a permanent rent control ordinance.

Shortly after the implementation of AB 1482, the Covid pandemic hit, and the State placed temporary eviction and rent increase moratoriums to protect tenants. Therefore, staff held off on further ordinance considerations. In February of 2021, a non-profit organization named East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice ("EYCEJ") approached the Mayor and staff about considering a rent control ordinance that addressed 32 additional tenant protections the group believed were lacking in State law. Staff re -activated the Rent Control Ad Hoc Committee ("Committee") to consider the proposal. The Committee members were increased from 5 to 7 at the request of the City Council to ensure equal representation of tenants and property owners.

The Committee proceeded to meet six times over the next few months to discuss the proposed tenant protections and hear from industry professionals. An attorney from the City Attorney's office who specializes in tenant/landlord law was brought on board to assist staff and the Committee with interpretation of the current State law and the additional provisions proposed by EYCEJ. The City Attorney and staff went through all the proposed tenant protection provisions and separated them into the following four categories:

1. Proposals Not Covered by State Law
138

2. Proposals Largely Covered by State Law

3. Proposals Involving Discretionary Spending

4. Proposals that Require Greater Specificity to Categorize The Committee then proceeded to schedule the first public workshop, which was noticed on the City's social media platforms, the City's website, and via mailers to residents one month ahead of the event and re -noticed on social media one week before the event as a reminder.

The first workshop was held on December 9, 2021, at Ross Hall/Veterans Park. The workshop was well attended both in person and online and was simultaneously translated in Spanish. During the workshop, staff and the City Attorney presented the major tenant protections that had been introduced by EYCEJ and had three panelists provide comments for the public's benefit. As part of the workshop agenda, a time for "Questions and Answers" was provided as well as a time for public testimony.

Following the workshop, staff scheduled a debriefing meeting with the Committee on January 13, 2022, to discuss next steps. The consensus was that the workshop was an overall success, but certain things could be improved such as the sound equipment and chat response coordination. In addition, the Committee gave the City Attorney and staff direction to seek outside legal counsel to volunteer for the second workshop since most of the concerns voiced by the residents required legal assistance. Staff is also seeking volunteer organizations such as the Fair Housing Foundation and the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles to set up informational booths at the next workshop for anyone requiring assistance following the workshop.

CONCLUSION:

It is anticipated that the second workshop will take place in late February/early March once the additional requested resources identify an available date and time. The workshop will be scheduled on a Saturday afternoon to provide more flexibility for the public to attend. Once the second public workshop takes place and the final Committee recommendation is given, staff will bring the recommendation to the City Council with a request for direction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Legal counsel costs: other costs will be dependent on direction given by Council.
