BY: Gustavo Romo, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 927-U OF THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS EXTENDING

THE INTERIM PROHIBITION OF RENT INCREASES ON CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL

PROPERTIES UNTIL THE CITY'S PERMANENT RENT STABILIZATION REGULATIONS

TAKE EFFECT
DATE: September 26, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On April 25, 2022, the City Council adopted urgency Ordinance No. 922-U to impose a temporary rent increase moratorium on certain residential real properties subject to state rent control laws and gave direction to staff to begin drafting a local rent control ordinance.

To allow more time for the permanent ordinance to be further researched and developed, on July 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 924-U, extending the rent increase moratorium for 90 additional days through October 9, 2022, as may be further extended, and repealing and replacing Ordinance No. 922-U.

On September 12, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 925, which established permanent rent stabilization and tenant eviction protection regulations that will become effective on October 12, 2022.

The proposed ordinance will avoid any lapse in tenant protections for the three-day period between October 9, 2022, when the temporary rent freeze expires, and October 12, 2022, when permanent regulations become effective.

Since the concerns set forth in Ordinance 924-U regarding rising rents and the housing affordability crisis continue to be valid, it would be appropriate to extend the temporary protections until Ordinance 925 takes effect to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

CONCLUSION:

Urgency Ordinance No. 927-U would become effective immediately and expire by its own terms at the time Ordinance No. 925 becomes effective.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Daisy Gomez, City Clerk
SUBJECT: GENERAL MOTION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND APPROVE ORDINANCES BY TITLE ONLY PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36934 DATE: September 26, 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.

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: September 26, 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 (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, September 12, 2022, the City passed Resolution Number 2022-94, 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 September 12, 2022, through October 12, 2022, pursuant to Brown Act provisions. 13 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.
• 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 2022-94 expires on October 12, 2022. Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to avoid any lapse.

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:

No fiscal Impact.

TO. Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Hailes H. Soto, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER IN-PERSON PUBLIC PARTICIPATION UPDATE DATE: September 26, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council affirm the direction given regarding in-person public participation for City Council Chamber meetings.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On March 14, 2022, the City Council discussed what protocols/measures might be required if the City Council Chamber meetings were opened for in-person public participation. Staff was directed to bring this item back to City Council. On April 11, 2022, the City Council reviewed the four options regarding in-person public participation for City Council Chamber meetings. The City Council discussed and gave direction to move forward with Option 2:

The City Council Chamber meetings will follow the same allowance for in person public participation as the LA County Board of Supervisors meetings. Currently, the LA County Board of Supervisors does not allow in- person public participation. Any future revisions would be automatically applied to City Council Chamber meetings.

Los Angeles County moved from a "medium" to "love' COVI D-19 community level on September 1, 2022, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention community rating system. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors issued a news release indicating that the Board Hearing Room at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration will reopen to the public on Tuesday, September 27 (see Exhibit 1). As in-person Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meetings resume, telephonic comment will continue to be available to members of the public. To ensure the health and safety of those who plan on attending in person, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will be using special guidelines including:
• Masking for all in attendance will be required.
• Enhanced air filtration equipment has been installed in the Board Hearing Room. • Occupancy will be limited to 100 members of the public.

As previously mentioned, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will reopen the Board Hearing Room for in- person public meetings on Tuesday, September 27. Pursuant to the direction given by the City Council on April 11, 2022, the Bell Gardens Council Chamber will also reopen for in-person public meetings effective September 27, 2022. The City of Bell Gardens will also use the following guidelines:
• Masking for all in attendance will be required.
• Occupancy will be limited to 50 members of the public.

These guidelines will be applied to the next City Council Chamber meeting, including City Commissions and City 59 Council meetings, unless a specific effective date is otherwise provided. As in-person meetings resume, members of the public may also continue to participate via Zoom as long as the City Council continues to approve the reauthorization of the 30-day 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.

CONCLUSION:

I n-person public participation for meetings held in the Bell Gardens City Council Chamber will be allowed starting Tuesday, September 27, 2022, unless a specific effective date is otherwise provided.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

TO. Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Gary A. Bacio, Esq., Bacio and Associates
Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
SUBJECT: CITY OF BELL GARDENS,ACALIFORNIA MUNICIPALITY, V. JENNIFER RODRIGUEZ, CASE NO. 20STCV38848
DATE: September 26, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council by motion receive and file this report and provide further direction regarding collection of the judgment amount.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Former Councilmember, Jennifer Rodriguez, failed to attend 60 days of council meetings on separate occasions between June 2016 and February 2017 without approval or a valid excuse. This was in breach of her duties as a councilmember and a violation of Government Code section 36513. An action, called Quo Warranto, with the approval of the State Attorney General, was brought against Ms. Rodriguez on February 15, 2018.

That matter went to trial on September 9, 2019 and was concluded on September 12, 2019. The court found in favor of the city and ruled that Ms. Rodriguez could no longer serve as a councilmember as she had violated her duty to the city by failing to attend council meetings without approval or valid excuse.

During her absences the city paid Ms. Rodriguez, in salary and benefits, $14,995.26 for the period of July 26, 2016, to September 26, 2016, and $13,924.19 for the period of November 22, 2016, to February 13, 2017. Further, Ms.

Rodriguez failed to return a city iPad with a value of $646.65. This resulted in a second lawsuit brought against her to recover these payouts.

The timeline for this second litigation is below:

1. October 13, 2020: A lawsuit for Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Conversion, Unjust Enrichment, and Fraud in the inducement was be prepared and filed against Ms. Rodriguez.

2. January 12, 2021: After many attempts to serve Ms. Rodriguez and due to her evading service, substituted service was successful.

3. Thereafter, Ms. Rodriguez failed to file a timely answer to the complaint.

4. February 8, 2022: Default was entered against Ms. Rodriguez.

5. February 9, 2022: Default Judgment was entered by the court in the amount of $29,979.35.

6. May 18, 2022:Abstract of Judgment filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder.

The judgment is valid for ten years and can thereafter be renewed for another ten years. A wage garnishment is the most typical way of collecting on the judgment.
62 The Abstract of Judgment filed with the County recorder allows for creditors to be placed on notice that prior to approving credit, the judgment needs to be satisfied. This is typical when an individual attempts to buy, sell or refinance real property.

CONCLUSION:

The Abstract of Judgment filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder in the amount of $29,979.35 remains outstanding. The judgment would typically be satisfied if the judgment debtor, Jennifer Rodriguez, attempts to sell of refinance real property. It is valid for ten years with an additional ten year renewal period.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no current fiscal impact until such time as the $29,979.35 judgment is satisfied through partial or full payment. Any payment received from the judgment would be recognized as revenues to the City's General Fund and become available for services.
