On April 21, 2022, the contractor submitted a request for a CPI increase in the amount of 8%, citing rising costs due to increases in fuel, labor, insurance equipment and materials.
However, staff is recommending a CPI adjustment of 3%, for an increased annual cost of$3,358, which would increase the total annual contract amount from $111,936 to $115,294. Given that the subject contract is silent as to CPI increases, City Council approval is required.

A 3% CPI adjustment would adjust the contract cost by $8,610 annually, which would increase the total annual contract amount from$287,004 to $295,614. Given that the governing contract is silent as to CPI increases, City Council approval is required.

Item 1.
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Gustavo Romo, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 924-U EXTENDING THE EXISTING 90-DAY INTERIM RENT FREEZE FORAN ADDITIONAL 90 DAYS
DATE: July 11, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 924-U, thereby extending the existing 90-day interim freeze on residential rent increases subject to state rent control for an additional 90 days effective immediately, with the ability to extend further.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On April 11, 2022, staff presented an update on the City's Rent Control Ad Hoc Committee and its public outreach efforts to the City Council and requested direction on whether the Council desired to pursue a rent control ordinance.
The City Council gave direction to bring the item back to the Ad Hoc Committee and begin drafting an ordinance.
Due to the urgency of the matter, the City Council also directed staff to prepare an urgency ordinance to temporarily freeze residential rent while the permanent ordinance was being further researched and bring the urgency ordinance to the next regularly scheduled meeting for consideration.
On April 25, 2022, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 922-U, which established a 90-day rent freeze on residential rent increases subject to state rent control.
The Ad Hoc Committee met on June 22, 2022, and July 6, 2022, to discuss and provide feedback regarding the permanent rent stabilization and just cause eviction ordinance. A draft ordinance has also been presented to the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA)for review and comment as initially requested by the City Council on April 11, 2022. Comments from LAFLA and final comments from the Ad Hoc Committee are still pending.
Once received, the comments received from LAFLA and the Ad Hoc Committee will be incorporated into a final draft. Staff anticipates returning to the City Council with a draft permanent ordinance for introduction and first reading at the end of July or August. Therefore, an extension of the urgency ordinance is necessary to continue the rent freeze until a permanent ordinance is adopted and allow for the public hearing process.
CONCLUSION:
This urgency ordinance will become effective immediately and sunset on October 9, 2022, unless further extended or upon adoption of the permanent rent stabilization ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.

Item 2.
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Vanessa Quiroz,Acting City Clerk
SUBJECT: GENERAL MOTION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND APPROVE ORDINANCES BY TITLE ONLY PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36934 DATE: July 11, 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: Scott Fairfield, Chief of Police
Paul Camacho, Administrative Lieutenant
SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO ACONTRACT SERVICES WITH BLACK & WHITE EMERGENCY VEHICLES, INC.
DATE: July 11, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:
1. Approve an agreement with Black and White Emergency Vehicles, Inc. for the purchase and installation of emergency and communications equipment for the two previously purchased Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles that were approved by City Council on October 11, 2021 (Resolution 2021-85);
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Black and White Emergency Vehicles, Inc.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On October 11, 2021, the City Council approved the purchase of two new 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility vehicles for the Police Department's Patrol Division (Resolution No. 2021-85). As stated in that agenda report, the purchase did not include required emergency and communications equipment to include the radio, emergency lights, siren, light controls, window barriers, weapon rack/lock, cargo equipment, Mobile Digital Computer, in-car video system, and miscellaneous components.
Installation of these various components requires technically skilled service personnel given the complexity of the work. These installations require vendors to route numerous pieces of equipment to power sources, while maintaining the original vehicle structure and protecting the factory electrical equipment that is under warranty by the manufacturer. Additionally, these installations have become so complex that limited numbers of companies now specialize in this service. Vehicles can no longer be taken to local electronic shops/facilities for installation of these items. In fact, many of the equipment items to be installed require that the installation facility receive specialized training and obtain certification as an authorized installer from the vehicle manufacturer. In addition to the emergency equipment, these two vehicles will need a Mobile Data Computer (MDC) and radio system and networking equipment as well as video camera equipment.
Pursuant to Bell Gardens Municipal Code Section ("BGMC") 3.04.100(A), the City's formal purchasing procedures may be dispensed when the city council (for purchases of more than $10,000) finds that such supplies or equipment are unique because of their quality, durability, availability, or fitness for a particular use and are available only from one source, or, if available from more than one source, bidding is not likely to result in the lowest price. 47 Black & White Emergency Vehicles, Inc. is the only known installation service company that can provide all the necessary emergency and electronics equipment. Additionally, they are an authorized installer that meets the Ford and Chevrolet manufacturer's warranty specifications for these types of installations. Lastly, utilization of this company is much more efficient for the City given that obtaining services from individual companies, would likely result in a higher cost.
Furthermore, by utilizing Black & White the Police Department will avoid the extended completion dates from other unknown installers and the formal purchasing procedures, which is critical since the Department's vehicle fleet has a shortage of patrol vehicles. The shortage has resulted in the loss of five police vehicles that were involved in traffic accidents and our police officers driving the current police vehicles 24/7. Additionally, some of these vehicles are also removed from the Department's vehicle fleet for repairs and regular maintenance, which affects the day-to-day operations of the Patrol Division.
Hence, using Black and White will expedite the outfitting process of these two police vehicles so that they can be added to the vehicle fleet as soon as possible.
CONCLUSION:
The Police Department requests approval to enter into contract with Black and White Emergency Vehicles, Inc. for the purchase and installation of the listed emergency and communications equipment for the two new 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility police vehicles previously purchased through Folsom Lake Ford.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost for this purchase is estimated to be $41,466.48. Funding for the outfitting of these two vehicles was budgeted in the FY2022-23 budget, 110-4441-3140/Vehicles account.

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 Consultant 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 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 Exhibit 2 di
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 Defaults within the following time periods:
i. 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
i. 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 "A" 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 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 Exhibit 2 65 15
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:
i. Upon written notice to CONTRACTOR, the CITY may immediately terminate this Agreement in whole or in part;
L Upon written notice to CONTRACTOR, the CITY may extend the time of performance;
L 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 that CITY incurs upon a breach of this Agreement or in the CITY's exercise of its remedies under this Agreement.
16 Exhibit 2 66
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.

Item 6.
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Vanessa Quiroz,Acting City Clerk
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OFA30-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: July 11, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt or approve the attached Resolution permitting 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.
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 (COVI D-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. In addition, LACDPH has issued a series of Health Officer Orders containing recommendations for keeping individuals safe, reducing risk, and preventing the spread of COVI D-19. As stated, the most recent Health Order by the LACDPH, effective as of April 22, 2022, Los Angeles County is currently experiencing increases in COVI D-19 cases, positivity rates, and COVI D-19 hospitalizations are no longer in decline.
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, June 27, 2022, the City passed Resolution Number 2022-60, ratifying the proclamation of a State of Emergency by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, and re-authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council, City Boards, and all Commissions of the City of Bell Gardens, for the period from June 27, 2022, through July 27, 2022, pursuant to Brown Act provisions.
75 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 under AB 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. • In 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. Resolution Number 2022-60 expires on July 27, 2022. Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution to avoid any lapse.
CONCLUSION:
If approved, the following will be adopted or approved:
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:
There is no fiscal impact to the City.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING RESOLUTION NO. 2020-21
WHICH DECLARED A LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO THE PUBLIC THREAT CAUSED BY CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
DATE: July 11, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve the attached Resolution reaffirming the declared local emergency due to the public threat caused by coronavirus (COVI D-19).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Coronavirus, also known as COVI D-19, was first reported in China in December 2019. On March 4, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency and the County of Los Angeles, City of Los Angeles, City of Long Beach and City of Pasadena all declared Local Emergencies. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") publicly characterized COVI D-19 as a pandemic. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a National Emergency due to the continued spread and the effects of COVI D-19. On March 17, 2020, the City of Bell Gardens City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-21 declaring a local emergency due to COVI D-19 as authorized by Government Code Section 8630 and Title 2 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter
2.34 (Disaster Council), Section 2.34.030 (Created — Membership)of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code ("Code").
On March 19, 2020, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health issued the Safer at Home Order for Control of COVID-19 to further restrict and limit the gathering of persons and to require the closure of shopping centers, children's playgrounds, and non-essential retail businesses in an effort to slow the spread of COVI D-19 within the greater Los Angeles community. Also on March 19, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N- 33-20 ordering all individuals living in the State of California to stay at home or their place of residence except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal critical infrastructure sectors;. On March 20, 2020, the State Public Health Officer issued a memorandum spelling out the list of "Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers." On March 21, 2020, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health modified its Safer at Home Order for the Control of COVI D-19.
Government Code Section 8630(c) states that a City Council "shall review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until the governing body terminates the local emergency". As of July 4, 2022, there have been 3,140,615 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County, which has resulted in 32,361 deaths. The number of confirmed cases and deaths continue to increase. Conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property continue due to COVID-19 in the City of Bell Gardens. Based on the aforementioned, it is imperative to prepare for and respond to suspected or confirmed COVI D-19 cases, to take measures to mitigate the spread of COVI D-19, and to prepare to respond to the increasing number of individuals requiring medical care and hospitalization. If COVI D-19 spreads at a rate comparable to the rate of spread in other 82 locations, the number of persons requiring medical care may exceed locally available resources, and controlling outbreaks minimizes the risk to the public, maintains the health and safety of the community, and limits the spread of infection in the community and within the healthcare delivery system.
CONCLUSION:
The reasons for declaring the local emergency still exist. The local emergency will continue to exist until the City Council proclaims the termination of this local emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS ACHAMPION AND
DEFENDER OF HEALTH EQUITYAND REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM FORALLAND
AFFIRMING THE RIGHT OF INDIVIDUALS TO MARRYAND LOVE FREELY DATE: July 11, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve the attached Resolution declaring the City of Bell Gardens a champion and defender of health equity and reproductive freedom for all and affirming the right of individuals to marry and love freely.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court announced its decision in Roe v. Wade (410 U.S. 959), a constitutional challenge to a Texas statute that criminalized the termination of a pregnancy unless a woman's life was at stake. The case had been filed by"Jane Roe," an unmarried woman who wanted to end her pregnancy safely and legally. Finding that Ms. Roe's constitutional rights has been violated, the Court struck down the Texas law. In its decision, the Court recognized the constitutional right to privacy "...is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy." (Roe v. Wade (1973)410 U.S. 113, 153.) Roe v. Wade has come to be known as the case that affirmed the constitutional right across the country for a woman to choose an abortion and have control over her own body. At the time the decision was handed down, may states outlawed abortion. This decision rendered those laws unconstitutional, making abortion services safer and more accessible to women across the country.
On September 9, 2021, the United States Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to prevent the State of Texas from enforcing Senate Bill 8, which went into effect on September 1, 2021. Senate Bill 8 is unusual in its structure and the manner in which it operates as a restriction on the right of a woman to determine whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. Instead of criminalizing an abortion after six-weeks, Senate Bill 8 deputizes private citizens to sue anyone who "aids or abets" the provision of such an abortion, with successful plaintiffs receiving a minimum of $10,000. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that Senate Bill 8 is invalid under the Supremacy Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment, is preempted by federal law, and violates the doctrine of intergovernmental immunity. The Department of Justice also sought an order, preliminary or permanently, prohibiting the State of Texas, including its officers, employees, and agents, as well as private parties who would bring suit under the law, from implementing or enforcing Senate Bill 8. More states are expected to follow Texas and restrict abortion access, forcing those with means to travel to states where abortion remains legal and forcing those without means to travel to make less safe decisions regarding the termination of their pregnancies.
The recent leak of an initial draft majority opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) written by Justice Samuel Alito in the case of Thomas E. Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health 92 v. Jackson Womens Health Organization foreshadowed the impending overturn of Roe v. Wade, allowing states to ban abortion at any point in pregnancy and the possibility of complete bans on abortion.
By its majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson of Justice Samuel Alito joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022 revoked the constitutional right to an abortion, reversing 50 years of legal precedent.
The contents of the majority opinion, as well as the warning from the dissenting Supreme Court Justices, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, make it clear that the threat to human rights in this country will not end at abortion rights. Specifically, Clarence Thomas writes that for, "future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell," and thus calls into question the right of individuals to marry and love freely, as well as the right to contraception. Sexual and reproductive rights, including safe and legal abortions, constitute a fundamental right, and the criminal ization, delay and denial of access to safe and legal abortion care constitutes a form of violence against those who would seek contraceptive and reproductive care.
The Bell Gardens City Council affirms its commitment to the human rights afforded to all women under Roe v.
Wade, regardless of socioeconomic, ethnic, racial, cultural, or religious background, age or sexual orientation, and to opposing any laws or regulations that pose a threat to reproductive freedom, reproductive rights, sexual freedom, and/or self-determination.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Bell Gardens is declared a champion and defender of health equity and reproductive freedom for all. The City Council affirms the right of all people to make medical decisions about their own bodies and to obtain access to the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare, including contraception and related services without obstacles. The City Council affirms full abortion rights and reproductive equity in opposition to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Unfortunately, the threat to human rights in this country will not end at abortion rights. The City of Bell Gardens also affirms the right of individuals to marry and love freely.

Item 9.
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Grissel Chavez, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF CPI ADJUSTMENT REQUEST FOR GREENTECH LANDSCAPE, INC.
DATE: July 11, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council by motion:
Consider approving the attached Resolution allowing a consumer price index (CPI) adjustment of 3% to the City's contract with Greentech Landscape, I nc. for landscape services.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On October 28, 2019, City Council approved the award of a contract to Greentech Landscape, Inc. for citywide landscape maintenance services which includes the landscape maintenance of parkways, median islands and open space, including Bell Gardens Veterans Park; mowing and edging, weeding, sweeping, pruning of shrubs, groundcovers care, fertilizing, litter clean-up and tree trimming for clearance. The contract expires on October 28, 2022 with two optional one year extensions through October 28, 2024. The annual contract cost paid by the City is $111,936 for the scope of services provided.
CPI Adjustment Request
On April 21, 2022, the contractor submitted the attached letter requesting consideration of a CPI increase in the amount of 8%, citing rising costs due to increases in fuel, labor, insurance equipment and materials. The contractor cited the May 2022 Consumer Price IndexforAll Urban Consumers (CPI-U), which reflected an 8 percent increase.
An 8% CPI adjustment would increase the Greentech contract cost by$8,955 annually.
Given that the subject contract is silent as to CPI increases, Council approval is required.
The contractor has been performing services satisfactorily to date. They have maintained positive communication with staff and have been responsive in addressing issues or fulfilling requests. Staff is recommending a CPI adjustment of 3%, for an increased annual cost of $3,358, which would increase the total annual contract amount from $111,936 to $115,294.
CONCLUSION:
If the CPI adjustment is approved, the increase will take effect January 1, 2023. 98 FISCAL IMPACT:
The City's FY 2022-23 Public Works operations budget includes funding to cover the cost of this annual increase in the amount of $3,358.

1. Contractor shall cure the following Events of Defaults within the following time periods:
i. 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 Exhibit 2 123
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.

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 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.

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:
i. 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.

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.

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.
