IMPACT FEES
DATE: October 10, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:
1. Approve a resolution adopting the Development Impact Fee (D IF) study, which finds finding that the activity to consider development impact fees is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section nos. 15378(b)(4), 15060(c)(3), and 15060(c)(2), based on the findings and conclusions in the staff report; and
2. Introduce first reading, by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 928 amending Title 3 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC)to add Chapter3.27, titled "Development Impact Fees." BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
With the passage of the 1987 Mitigation Fee Act (Act) [Government Code Section 66000 and following], the State of California recognized both the rising costs associated with the infrastructure to serve the built environment communities need and the impact of population increase on local jurisdictions. The Mitigation Fee Act secured a system for identifying and collecting certain fees, dedications, reservations, and other exactions that local jurisdictions could regularly impose when properties are developed. A development impact fee (DIF) is a monetary exaction charged by local government to a developer in connection with implementation of approved projects.
Impact fees vary widely across localities. While the City of Bell Gardens (the City) has understood the impacts of development on its infrastructure, it has yet to adopt DI F legislation lest it appear unfriendly to business. With greater understanding that property developers budget for such fees and expect them as part of a growing city, the City Council directed staff to proceed with a Request for Proposals to conduct a DI F study.
On March 2, 2020, City staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a development impact fee nexus study and recommended a development impact fee schedule for new development. The purpose of the requested Study was to ensure the City utilized overhead rates that accurately accounted for the cost of dilapidating infrastructure and General Plan updates and to ensure appropriate fees would be assessed for necessary future improvements and updates.
The RFP requested a scope of services proposal to address the following:
1. Provide data, findings, and recommendations to implement Development Impact Fees. 8 2. Review city documents.
3. Attend staff and public meetings.
4. Prepare a final report submitted to the City containing background information, methodology, findings, and recommendations.
Staff made a recommendation for consultant selection based on staff's evaluation of the proposals/qualifications in consideration of the consultant team's qualifications, comparable experience, and cost as well as consultant's availability to undertake the project, complete tasks in a timely manner and deliver a high-quality work product. Staff was confident in recommending Willdan Financial Services based on their command of the subject matter. On February 8, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the professional services agreement with Willdan Financial Services for a commissioned D I F study and to recommend a D I F schedule for new development.
Like most jurisdictions, the City is organized into departments that provide a full range of municipal services, including police, public works, recreation and community services, community and economic development, and administration. These services are supported by the General Fund. The adopted fiscal year (FY) 2021-22 budget is approximately$35 million, up from the previous two years. D I Fs are fees assessed on new development to help pay their fair share of the cost for the expansion of City infrastructure and services impacted by the new development.
This proportional exaction, as discussed in the attached draft Study, would be considered a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is charged.
Study Objectives
The City initiated a review of the current supportive practices for required infrastructure improvements for the City's General Plan growth projections and the City's 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan. The Study was intended to consider operational services that could be included in the fee program to ensure the costs of supporting the new required infrastructure would be paid by endeavors associated with new development. The Study summarizes an analysis of development impact fees needed to support future development in the City through 2040 and shared approaches in keeping with the State's Act commonly used to accommodate growth.
Cost Approaches
The Study identifies three approaches commonly used to collect public facilities fees under that authority granted by the Act. The three approaches explained are the existing inventory approach, the planned facilities approach, and the system plan approach.
The existing inventory approach assumes no net loss of levels of service to new development when there is no long- range plan for new facilities available.
The planned facilities approach allocates costs based on the ratio of new development use or increase in demand for services when a share of a service can be identified and tied to a new use.
The system plan approach considers situations where existing and new facilities and services are used by existing and new development and allocates a share of the responsibility to new development. Existing development must also fund a share of the planned facilities with any funding source other than impact fees.
Use of Fees and Program Maintenance
The Study goes on to say that impact fee revenue must be spent on new facilities or expansion of current facilities to serve new development. The Study also identifies maximum justified fees to fund the anticipated amount required to 9 fund $46.8 million for planned future facilities and expanded services on page 4. Should less than the maximum be adopted, reliance on other sources of revenue would be needed to fund infrastructure, facilities and expanded services for new development, including existing or new taxes, special assessments, bond proceeds and/or grants.
Bell Gardens requested guidance in establishing an ordinance for art in public places to expand the City's artistic and cultural resources and to enhance the built environment and quality of life as new development occurs. Many cities use an in-lieu fee amount based on a percentage of building permit construction valuation traditionally up to one percent. Bell Gardens may choose to implement fees or a public art program to include location, appropriateness and other guidelines with a separate ordinance apart from the collection of mitigation for development impact.
Summary of Study
The Study's purpose is to provide findings and recommendations to implement a DI F program with the knowledge that growth projections will dictate adding supportive infrastructure and other operational services. The Study methodology includes six (6) steps for calculating fees required to fund the mitigations associated with accommodating growth. The six steps involve 1.) estimating future growth, 2.) identifying existing facility standards,
3.) determining future required facilities 4.) determining associated costs to serve new development, 5.) allocating a cost per unit of new development with the appropriate portion of future facilities, and 6.) identifying alternative funding requirements. It was noted that through this process approved projects would fund only facilities that would be required by the new development.
To ensure appropriate funding, the Study states that the three separate standards that determine components for facility standards are demand, design, and cost. Demand standards focus on the quantity of facilities that would be used to accommodate growth. Design standards focus on how a facility would be planned for function. Cost standards help quantify portions of facilities that would be used by new development. The Study indicated the types of facilities would be planned in the way best determined by the type of use anticipated for the new development.
The Study reports that there are three common methods for determining new development's fair share of planned facilities. The existing inventory, planned facilities, and system plan methods allocate costs formulaic ratios of existing, planned facilities and new development use growth forecasts and projections that would demand transportation facilities, parks and recreation facilities, general government facilities, law enforcement facilities, and General Plan updates.
The Study recommends the following fee levels for different residential and nonresidential categories.
Table 1 below summarizes the development impact fees that meet the City's identified needs and comply with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act.

approving and adopting the new ordinance language to implement the process for the collection and use of fees. Once the ordinance is in effect the City would then follow the required noticing and public hearing requirements to bring forth a resolution to adopt the fees.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the adoption of development impact fees is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act in that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b)(4), which states the creation of government funding mechanisms that do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may cause a significant effect on the environment, is not defined as a "project" under CEQA. The adoption of the Study and consideration of the proposed ordinance also constitutes activities not considered a project according to section 15060(c) (3) since there is no anticipation of a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment pursuant to section 15060(c)(2).
CONCLUSION:
DI Fs mitigate the impacts of new development and fund needed public facilities and infrastructure to maintain quality of life. However, DI Fs are only one piece of the larger puzzle that the City can use to build neighborhoods while also ensuring that new development of all types pays its fair share of infrastructure costs. Other tools such as Planned Developments allow the City to request new infrastructure be built or funded by new development. Infrastructure required as part of Planned Developments can often be built sooner than infrastructure funded through DI Fs.
The establishment of a D IF program outlined in the proposed ordinance would ensure that new development pays its fair share of the new facilities and infrastructure necessary to accommodate impacts resulting from that new development in real time. With the adoption of the Study and the proposed Ordinance, the City Council will be setting the appropriate level of DI Fs that strike the balance between generating important revenue for needed infrastructure while at the same time supporting other City goals required to build and protect neighborhoods.
Based on all the analysis provided in this report, City Council leadership, and the City management's prior input and guidance, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution adopting the Development Impact Fee Study, introduce the attached ordinance for a first reading and direct staff to follow the noticing requirements to bring back a DIF fee resolution for the City Council's consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the ordinance and the associated DI Fs will result in additional funds being recovered to offset the infrastructure impacts from new development. Maintaining a D IF program and keeping the fees current to reflect contemporary development patterns and infrastructure needs can have a positive fiscal impact to the City. D I Fs provide a stream of funding to support capital improvements required by new development. When implemented carefully, the City's competitiveness to development remains steady relative to its neighboring cities as other neighboring cities have also implemented similar programs; they ensure other goals, like housing production, can also be met; and they provide the opportunity to still gain community benefits through the Planned Development/Development Agreement process. The cost to the City to maintain a DI F program is the staff time required to apply the fees upon building permit issuance, monitor the program to ensure appropriate collection and use, and manage the construction of capital projects once funds are collected. These costs can simultaneously be paid for by the DI F funds through the administrative charge and by charging staff time for project development as a project cost.

Executive Summary
This report summarizes an analysis of development impact fees needed to support future development in the City of Bell Gardens through 2040. It is the City's intent that the costs representing future development's share of public facilities and capital improvements be imposed on that development in the form of a development impact fee, also known as a public facilities fee. The public facilities and improvements included in this analysis are divided into the fee categories listed below:
• Transportation Facilities 0 Law Enforcement Facilities • Parks and Recreation Facilities 0 General Plan Update • General Government Facilities
IIBa6kground and Studyl e
The primary policy objective of a development impact fee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs associated with growth. Although growth also imposes operating costs, there is not a similar system to generate revenue from new development for services. The primary purpose of this report is to calculate and present fees that will enable the City to expand its inventory of public facilities, as new development creates increases in service demands.
The City collects public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules contained herein.
III liil rds and Costs
There are three approaches commonly used to calculate facilities standards and allocate the costs of planned facilities to accommodate growth in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act requirements in this study.
The existing inventory approach is based on a facility standard derived from the City's existing level of facilities and existing demand for services. This approach results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. This approach is often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is not available. Future facilities to serve growth will be identified through the City's two- year CIP and budget process and/or completion of a new facility master plan. This approach is used to calculate the general government and parks and recreation facilities fees in this report.
The planned facilities approach allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facilities that serve new development to the increase in demand associated with new development. This approach is appropriate when specific planned facilities that only benefit new development can be identified, or when the specific share of facilities benefiting new development can be identified. This approach is also used to support a specific demand standard identified by policy in a City's General Plan. This approach is used for the transportation facilities fees in this report.
The system plan approach is based on a master facility plan in situations where specific needed facilities serve both existing and new development. This approach allocates existing and planned facilities across existing and new development to determine new development's fair share of facility needs. This approach is used when it is not possible to differentiate the benefits of new facilities between new and existing development. This approach is used to calculate the law enforcement facilities and general plan update fees this report. 3 1 LLDAN

Impact fee revenue must be spent on new facilities or expansion of current facilities to serve new development. Facilities can be generally defined as capital acquisition items with a useful life greater than five years. Impact fee revenue can be spent on capital facilities to serve new development, including but not limited to land acquisition, construction of buildings, construction of infrastructure, the acquisition of vehicles or equipment, information technology, software licenses and equipment.
In that the City cannot predict with certainty how and when development within the City will occur during the planning horizon assumed in this study, the City may need to update and revise the project lists funded by the fees documented in this study. Any substitute projects should be funded within the same facility category, and the substitute projects must still benefit and have a relationship to new development. The City could identify any changes to the projects funded by the impact fees when it updates the CIP. The impact fees could also be updated if significant changes to the projects funded by the fees are anticipated.

Impact fees cannot fund costs associated with remedying existing deficiencies in public facilities but may include the costs attributable to the increased demand for public facilities reasonably related to the development project. This means that the development impact fees levied within Bell Gardens cannot fund the share of new projects needed to serve existing development or new development that is not subject to the fee.
As shown in Table E.2, approximately $46.8 million in additional funding is anticipated to be needed to complete the facilities the City currently plans to develop, if fees are adopted at the maximum justified fee level. The "Additional Funding Projected" column shows non-impact fee funding projected to be needed to complete the improvements partially funded by impact fees.
These facilities are needed partially to remedy existing deficiencies and partly to accommodate new development.
To the extent that the City adopts fees that are lower than the maximum justified amount, the non-impact fee funding projections would increase. Potential sources of revenue include, but are 4 1 LLDAN

01 . Introduction
This report presents an analysis of the need for public facilities to accommodate new development in the City of Bell Gardens. This chapter provides background for the study and explains the study approach under the following sections:
■ Public Facilities Financing in California;
■ Study Objectives;
■ Fee Program Maintenance;
■ Study Methodology; and
■ Organization of the Report.
IIII lii III lii lii lii III lnandngn Cafifarnl�a The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 40 years has steadily undercut the financial capacity of local governments to fund infrastructure. Three dominant trends stand out:
■ The passage of a string of tax limitation measures, starting with Proposition 13 in 1978 and continuing through the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996; ■ Declining popular support for bond measures to finance infrastructure for the next generation of residents and businesses; and
■ Steep reductions in federal and state assistance.
Faced with these trends, many cities and counties have had to adopt a policy of "growth pays its own way." This policy shifts the burden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing ratepayers and taxpayers onto new development. This funding shift has been accomplished primarily through the imposition of assessments, special taxes, and development impact fees also known as public facilities fees. Assessments and special taxes require the approval of property owners and are appropriate when the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property. Development impact fees, on the other hand, are an appropriate funding source for facilities that benefit all development jurisdiction-wide. Development impact fees need only a majority vote of the legislative body for adoption.
Study ° III
The primary policy objective of a public facilities fee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs associated with growth. The primary purpose of this report is to establish impact fees for the City based on the most current available facility plans and growth projections.
The maximum justified fees will enable the City to expand its inventory of public facilities as new development leads to increases in service demands.
The City can collect public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules presented in this report.
Bell Gardens is forecast to see moderate growth through this study's planning horizon of 2040.
This growth will create an increase in demand for public services and the facilities required to deliver them. Given the revenue challenges described above, Bell Gardens has decided to use a development impact fee program to ensure that new development funds its share of facility costs associated with growth. This report makes use of the most current available growth forecasts and 6 1 LLDAN

City of Bell Gardens Development Impact Fee Nexus Study facility plans to update the City's existing fee program to ensure that the fee program accurately represents the facility needs resulting from new development.
III Illl rogram I l
Once a fee program has been adopted it must be properly maintained to ensure that the revenue collected adequately funds the facilities needed by new development. To avoid collecting inadequate revenue, the inventories of existing facilities and costs for planned facilities must be updated periodically for inflation, and the fees recalculated to reflect the higher costs. The use of established indices for each facility included in the inventories (land, buildings, and equipment), such as the Engineering News-Record, is necessary to accurately adjust the impact fees. For a list of recommended indices, see Chapter 9.
While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for annual or periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, it is recommended to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation when significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available. For further detail on fee program implementation, see Chapter 9.
StudyMethodology
Development impact fees are calculated to fund the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The six steps followed in this development impact fee study include:
1. Estimate existing development and future growth: Identify a base year for existing development and a growth forecast that reflects increased demand for public facilities;
2. Identify facility standards: Determine the facility standards used to plan for new and expanded facilities;
3. Determine facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total amount of planned facilities, and identify the share required to accommodate new development;
4. Determine the cost of facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total amount and the share of the cost of planned facilities required to accommodate new development;
5. Calculate fee schedule: Allocate facilities costs per unit of new development to calculate the development impact fee schedule. Calculate fees per square foot of residential by dividing fee per unit by average unit square footage; and
6. Identify alternative funding requirements: Determine if any non-fee funding is required to complete projects.
The key public policy issue in development impact fee studies is the identification of facility standards (step #2, above). Facility standards document a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for new facilities. Standards ensure that new development does not fund deficiencies associated with existing development.
Types of Facility Standards
There are three separate components of facility standards:
■ Demand standards determine the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth, for example, park acres per thousand residents, square feet of library space per capita, or gallons of water per day. Demand standards may also reflect a level of service such as the vehicle volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio used in traffic planning. 7 1 LLDAN
VIN4nN A dVlCti
Exhibit 2 23
City of Bell Gardens Development Impact Fee Nexus Study ■ Design standards determine how a facility should be designed to meet expected demand, for example, park improvement requirements and technology infrastructure for City office space. Design standards are typically not explicitly evaluated as part of an impact fee analysis but can have a significant impact on the cost of facilities. Our approach incorporates the cost of planned facilities built to satisfy the City's facility design standards.
■ Cost standards are an alternate method for determining the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth based on facility costs per unit of demand. Cost standards are useful when demand standards were not explicitly developed for the facility planning process. Cost standards also enable different types of facilities to be analyzed based on a single measure (cost or value) and are useful when different facilities are funded by a single fee program. Examples include facility costs per capita, cost per vehicle trip, or cost per gallon of water per day.
New Development Facility Needs and Costs
Several approaches can be used to identify facility needs and costs to serve new development.
This is often a two-step process: (1) identify total facility needs, and (2) allocate to new development its fair share of those needs.
There are three common methods for determining new development's fair share of planned facilities costs in this study: the existing inventory method, the planned facilities method, and the system plan method. Often the method selected depends on the degree to which the community has engaged in comprehensive facility master planning to identify facility needs.
The formula used by each approach and the advantages and disadvantages of each method is summarized below:
Existing Inventory Method
The existing inventory method allocates costs based on the ratio of existing facilities to demand from existing development as follows:
Current Value of Existing Facilities
Existing Development Demand
= cost per unit of demand
Under this method new development will fund the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. The existing inventory method results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. This method is often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is not available. Future facilities to serve growth are identified through a biennial CIP and budget process, possibly after completion of a new facility master plan. This approach is used to calculate the general government and parks and recreation facilities fees in this report.
Planned Facilities Method
The planned facilities method allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facility costs to demand from new development as follows:
Cost of Planned Facilities
=New Development Demand cost per unit of demand
This method is appropriate when planned facilities will entirely serve new development, or when a fair share allocation of planned facilities to new development can be estimated. This approach is appropriate when specific planned facilities that only benefit new development can be identified, or when the specific share of facilities benefiting new development can be identified. This approach is also used to support a specific demand standard identified by policy in a City's General Plan. This approach is used for the transportation facilities fees in this report. 8 w1LLDAN
VIN4nN A dVlCti
Exhibit 2 24
City of Bell Gardens Development Impact Fee Nexus Study 4 "ystem Plai7Method
This method calculates the fee based on the value of existing facilities plus the cost of planned facilities, divided by demand from existing plus new development:
Value of Existing Facilities + Cost of Planned Facilities Existing + New Development Demand = cost per unit of demand This method is useful when planned facilities need to be analyzed as part of a system that benefits both existing and new development. It is difficult, for example, to allocate a new fire station solely to new development when that station will operate as part of an integrated system of fire stations that together achieve the desired level of service.
The system plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing deficiencies.
Often facility standards based on policies such as those found in Comprehensive Plans are higher than the existing facility standards. This method enables the calculation of the existing deficiency required to bring existing development up to the policy-based standard. The local agency must secure non-fee funding for that portion of planned facilities required to correct the deficiency to ensure that new development receives the level of service funded by the impact fee.
This approach is used to calculate the law enforcement facilities and general plan update fees in this report.
Grganliizabb r
The determination of a public facilities fee begins with the selection of a planning horizon and development of growth projections for population and employment. These projections are used throughout the analysis of different facility categories and are summarized in Chapter 2.
Chapters 3 through 7 identify facility standards and planned facilities, allocate the cost of planned facilities between new development and other development, and identify the appropriate development impact fee for each of the following facility categories:
• Transportation Facilities 0 Law Enforcement Facilities • Parks and Recreation Facilities 0 General Plan Update • General Government Facilities
Chapter 8 describes how this nexus study complies with the requirements of AB 602.
Chapter 9 details the procedures that the City must follow when implementing a development impact fee program. Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in California Government Code Sections 66016 through 66018.
The five statutory findings required for adoption of the maximum justified public facilities fees in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act are documented in Chapter 10. 9 1 LLDAN

2. Gro\AAh Forecasts
Growth projections are used as indicators of demand to determine facility needs and allocate those needs between existing and new development. This chapter explains the source for the growth projections used in this study based on a 2022 base year and a planning horizon of 2040.
Estimates of existing development and projections of future growth are critical assumptions used throughout this report. These estimates are used as follows:
■ The estimate of existing development in 2022 is used as an indicator of existing facility demand and to determine existing facility standards. ■ The estimate of total development at the 2040 planning horizon is used as an indicator of future demand to determine total facilities needed to accommodate growth and remedy existing facility deficiencies, if any. ■ Estimates of growth from 2022 through 2040 are used to (1) allocate facility costs between new development and existing development, and (2) estimate total fee revenues.
The demand for public facilities is based on the service population, dwelling units or nonresidential development creating the need for the facilities.
To ensure a reasonable relationship between each fee and the type of development paying the fee, growth projections distinguish between different land use types. The land use types for which impact fees have been calculated for are defined below. ■ Residential dwelling units: All residential dwelling units including detached and attached one-unit dwellings (Includes single family homes and townhomes) and attached multifamily dwellings including duplexes and condominiums. Fees charged per square foot.
■ Commercial: All commercial, retail, educational, lodging, and service development. ■ Office: All general, professional, and medical office development. ■ Industrial: All warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, and other industrial development.
Some developments may include more than one land use type, such as a mixed-use development with both residential and commercial uses. In those cases, the facilities fee would be calculated separately for each land use type.
The City has the discretion to determine which land use type best reflects a development project's characteristics for purposes of imposing an impact fee and may adjust fees for special or unique uses to reflect the impact characteristics of the use. If a project results in the intensification of use, at its discretion, the City can charge the project the difference in fees between the existing low intensity use and the future high intensity use.
Impact Fees for Accessory Dwelling Units
The California State Legislature recently amended requirements on local agencies for the imposition of development impact fees on accessory dwelling units (ADU) with Assembly Bill AB 68 in 2021. The amendment to California Government Code §65852.2(f)(2) stipulates that local agencies may not impose any impact fees on ADUs less than 750 square feet. ADUs greater 10 w I LLDAN
VIN4nN A dVlCti
Exhibit 2 26
City of Bell Gardens Development Impact Fee Nexus Study than 750 square feet can be charged impact fees in proportion to the size of the primary dwelling unit.
Calculating Impact Fees forAccessory Duelling Units
For ADUs greater than 750 square feet, impact fees can be charged as a percentage of the single family impact fee. The formula is:
ADU Square Feet
x Single Family Impact Fee = ADU Impact Fee
Primary Residence Square Feet
In the case of an 800 square foot ADU and a 1,600 square foot primary residence, the impact fees would be 50 percent (800 square feet / 1,600 square feet = 50%) of the single family dwelling unit fee.

All fees in this report are calculated based on dwelling units or building square feet. Occupant density assumptions ensure a reasonable relationship between the size of a development project, the increase in service population associated with the project, and the amount of the fee.
Occupant densities (residents per dwelling unit or workers per building square foot) are the most appropriate characteristics to use for most impact fees. The fee imposed should be based on the land use type that most closely represents the probable occupant density of the development.
The occupancy factors are shown in Table 2.2. The residential density factors is based on the most recent available data for Bell Gardens from California Department of Finance. The nonresidential occupancy factors are derived from data from the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition.

3. Transportation Facilities
This chapter details an analysis of the need for transportation facilities to accommodate new development. The chapter documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the impact fee for funding of these facilities.
The need for transportation facilities is based on the trip demand placed on the system by development. A reasonable measure of demand is the number of average daily vehicle trips, adjusted for the type of trip. Vehicle trip generation rates are a reasonable measure of demand on the City's system of street improvements across all modes because alternate modes (transit, bicycle, pedestrian)often substitute for vehicle trips.
The two types of trips adjustments made to trip generation rates to calculate trip demand are described below:
■ Pass-by trips are deducted from the trip generation rate. Pass-by trips are intermediates stops between an origin and a destination that require no diversion from the route, such as stopping to get gas on the way to work. ■ The trip generation rate is adjusted by the average length of trips for a specific land use category compared to the average length of all trips on the street system.
These adjustments allow for a holistic quantification of trip demand that takes trip purpose and length into account for fee calculation purposes.
Table 3.1 shows the calculation of trip demand factors by land use category based on the adjustments described above. Data is based on extensive and detailed trip surveys conducted in the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) and by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). The trip rates come from ITE. The pass-by trip assumptions and trip length assumptions come from SANDAG. Data from SANDAG is used because the surveys provide one of the most comprehensive databases available of trip generation rates, pass-by trips factors, and average trip length for a wide range of land uses. 14 1 LLDAN

The City plans to use transportation facilities fee revenue to construct improvements to add capacity to the system of transportation facilities that serves new development. The City may only use impact fee revenue to provide facilities and intensify usage of existing facilities needed to serve new development. The City should program fee revenue to capacity expanding projects through its CIP and budget process. The City's impact fee transportation CIP is shown in Table
3.3. Projects that are rehabbing or retrofitting existing facilities have been excluded from this list.
A share of each project corresponding with new development's total share of trip demand at the planning horizon is allocated to new development through this impact fee. In total, approximately $3 million is allocated to new development through the impact fee.

Every impact fee consists of a dollar amount, representing the value of facilities, divided by a measure of demand. In this case, all fees are first calculated as a cost per trip demand unit. Then these amounts are translated into housing unit (cost per unit) and employment space (cost per 1,000 square feet) fees by multiplying the cost per trip by the trip generation rate for each land use category. These amounts become the fee schedule.
Table 3.4 displays the calculation of the cost per trip demand unit. The total cost allocated to new development from Table 3.3 is divided by the growth in trip demand from Table 3.2 to determine the cost per trip needed to accommodate new development. This figure drives the fee calculation. 16 1 LLDAN

Table 3.5 shows the maximum justified transportation facilities fee schedule. The City can adopt any fee up to these amounts. The maximum justified fees are based on the cost per trip identified in Table 3.4. The cost per trip is multiplied by the trip demand factors in Table 3.1 to determine a fee per unit of new development. The fee per dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.
The total fee includes a two percent (2%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to all City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue, and cost accounting, mandated public reporting, and fee justification analyses.
In Willdan's experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

IIII r� IIII 111 III i fity Standards
Park facility standards establish a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for expanded parkland and park facilities. Information regarding the City's existing inventory of existing parks facilities was obtained from City staff.
The most common measure in calculating new development's demand for parks is the ratio of park acres per resident. In general, facility standards may be based on the Mitigation Fee Act (using a city's existing inventory of parkland and park facilities), or an adopted policy standard contained in a master facility plan or general plan. Facility standards may also be based on a land dedication standard established by the Quimby Act.1 In this case, the City will use the Mitigation Fee Act to impose park impact fees for development not occurring in subdivisions and will use the Quimby Act for development occurring in subdivisions.
Mitigation Fee Act
The Mitigation Fee Act does not dictate use of a particular type or level of facility standard for public facilities fees. To comply with the findings required under the law, facility standards must not burden new development with any cost associated with facility deficiencies attributable to existing development.2 A simple and clearly defensible approach to calculating a facility standard is to use the City's existing ratio of park acreage per 1,000 residents. Under this approach, new development is required to fund new parkland and park facilities at the same level as existing residents have provided those same types of facilities to date. 1 California Government Code§66477.
2 See the Benefit and Burden findings in Background Report. 20 1 LLDAN
VIN4nN A dVlCti
Exhibit 2 36
City of Bell Gardens Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Quimby Act
The Quimby Act specifies that the dedication requirement must be a minimum of 3.0 acres and a maximum of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents. A jurisdiction can require residential developers to dedicate above the three-acre minimum if the jurisdiction's existing park standard at the time it adopted its Quimby Act ordinance justifies the higher level (up to five acres per 1,000 residents).
The standard used must also conform to the jurisdiction's adopted general or specific plan standards.
The Quimby Act only applies to land subdivisions. The Quimby Act would not apply to residential development on future approved projects on single parcels, such as apartment complexes and other multifamily development.
The Quimby Act allows payment of a fee in lieu of land dedication. The fee is calculated to fund acquisition of the same amount of land that would have been dedicated.
The Quimby Act allows use of in-lieu fee revenue for any park or recreation facility purpose.
Allowable uses of this revenue include land acquisition, park improvements including recreation facilities, and rehabilitation of existing park and recreation facilities.
City of Bell Gardens Parklandand Park Facilities Standards Table 4.5 shows the existing standard for improved park acreage per 1,000 residents based on the type of parkland. In total the City has an existing parkland standard of 1.74 acres per 1,000 residents, which allows the City to charge at 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents under the Quimby Act.
For development not subject to the Quimby Act, the fee analysis in this report will be based on maintaining a 1.74 acre per 1,000 service population standard as new development adds demand for parks in Bell Gardens.

Developed Park Acreage 66.72

Table 4.6 shows the park facilities needed to accommodate new development at the existing standard and the Quimby standard, respectively. To achieve the standard by the planning horizon, depending on the amount of development subject to the Quimby Act, new development must fund the purchase and improvement of between 9.81 and 16.91 parkland acres, at a total cost ranging between $24.7 million and $35 million.
The facility standards and resulting fees under the Quimby Act are higher, because development will be charged to provide 3.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, and 1.74 acres of improvements, whereas development not subject to the Quimby Act will be charged to provide only 1.74 acres of parkland per 1,000 service population, and 1.74 acres of improvements. Since the exact amount of development that will be subject to the Quimby fees is unknown at this time, Table 4.6 presents the range of total facility costs that may be incurred depending on the amount of development occurring in subdivisions.

To calculate fees by land use type, the investment in park facilities is determined on a per resident basis for parkland acquisition, and parkland improvements. These investment factors (shown in Table 4.7) are based on the unit cost estimates and the City's existing facility standards.
Table 4.9 shows the maximum justified park and recreation facilities fee based on the existing standard per capita under the Quimby Act and under the existing park standard under the Mitigation Fee Act, respectively. The investment per capita is converted to a fee per dwelling unit using the residential occupancy density factor from Table 2.2. The fee per dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.
The total fee includes an administrative charge to fund costs that include: (1) legal, accounting, and other administrative support and (2) impact fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue, and cost accounting, mandated public reporting, and fee justification analyses.
In Willdan's experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the 23 1 LLDAN

The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of general government facilities. A fee schedule is presented based on the existing standard of general government facilities in the City of Bell Gardens to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its needs.

General government facilities serve both residents, visitors, and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities are based on the City's service population including residents, visitors, and workers.
Table 5.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for general government facilities. While specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to demand by businesses (per worker) for this service, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these services is less for one employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less intensively than dwelling units. The 0.31-weighting factor for workers is based on a 40-hour workweek divided by the total number of non-work hours in a week (128) and reflects the degree to which nonresidential development yields a lesser demand for general government facilities.

Table 5.6 shows the maximum justified general government facilities fee schedule. The City can adopt any fee up to this amount. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit and employment densities (persons per dwelling unit or employees per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential building space). The fee per dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.
The total fee includes a two percent (2.0%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting.

6. Law Enforcement Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of law enforcement facilities. A fee schedule is presented based on the system standard of law enforcement facilities in the City of Bell Gardens to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its needs.
SerVce II ulabbn
Law enforcement facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities are based on the City's service population including residents and workers. Table 6.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for law enforcement facilities. While specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to demand by businesses (per worker) for this service, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these services is less for one employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less intensively than dwelling units. The 0.31- weighting factor for workers is based on a 40-hour workweek divided by the total number of non- work hours in a week (128) and reflects the degree to which nonresidential development yields a lesser demand for law enforcement facilities.

Existing Level of Service
Per the new nexus study requirements that went into effect of January 1, 2022, a nexus study "shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate." Table 6.4 expresses the City's current law enforcement facilities level of service in terms of an existing cost per capita. This cost per capita is not used in the fee calculation, rather it is shown here for informational purposes only.
Once the planned facilities have been constructed and new development has increased the City's service population the resulting facility cost per capita will be higher than the cost per capita shown in Table 6.4. The increased facility standard is needed to ensure that the City can provide adequate law enforcement services throughout the City.

The City plans to use law enforcement facilities fee revenue to construct improvements and acquire capital facilities and equipment to add to the system of law enforcement facilities to serve new development. Table 6.6 details a projection of fee revenue, based on the service population growth increment identified in Table 6.1. The City should program law enforcement facilities fee revenue to capacity expanding projects through its CIP and budget process. After accounting for the projected future impact fee revenue approximately $7.7 million in non-fee funding will be needed to complete the planned facilities.
The City will need to use alternative funding sources to fund existing development's share of the planned law enforcement facilities. Potential sources of revenue include but are not limited to existing or new general fund revenues, existing or new taxes, and grants. 32 1 LLDAN

[ ' Schedule
Table 6.7 shows the maximum justified law enforcement facilities fee schedule. The City can adopt any fee up to this amount. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit and employment densities (persons per dwelling unit or employees per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential building space). The fee per dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.
The total fee includes a two percent (2.0%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting.
In Wlldan's experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

8. AB 602 Requirements
On January 1, 2022, new requirements went into effect for California jurisdictions implementing impact fees. Among other changes, AB 602 added Section 66016.5 to, the Government Code, which set guidelines for impact fee nexus studies. Three key requirements from that section which concern the nexus study are reproduced here:
66016.5. (a) (2) When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.
66016.5. (a) (4) If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.
66016.5. (a) (6) Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.
Comp[iance WthIII 602
The following sections describe this study's compliance with the new requirements of AB 602. 01 .5. ( ) ( ) - Level of Service
1. For fees calculated under the existing standard methodology, the fees are calculated such that new development funds facilities at the existing level of service. These fee categories are general government and park and recreation facilities. The existing level service in terms of the existing facility investment per capita shown in each corresponding chapter.
2. For the fees calculated under the system standard methodology, the maximum justified fees represent an increase in the facility level of service. The law enforcement facilities fees, transportation facilities fees and general plan update fees calculated under this methodology. The increased level of service is required to fund new development's fair share of facilities identified by the City as necessary to serve the entire City. New development will not fund the entirety of the increase in level of service, rather, it will fund a share of the increased level of service represented by the planned facilities. The City will have to fund existing development's share of the increase level of service through any other funding source.
01 .5. ( ) (4) — Review of Original Fee Assumptions
This study is the first impact fee nexus study completed in Bell Gardens, so there are no fee assumptions to review.
01 .5. ( ) ( ) — Capital Improvement Ian
The Capital Improvement Plan for this nexus study is comprised of the identified planned facilities within each facility fee chapter. Planned facilities identified in this document are sourced from the City's current adopted CIP and City staff. Adoption of this nexus study would approve the planned facilities identified herein as the Capital Improvement Plan for this nexus study. 39 1 LLDAN

9. Implementation
lmpact III 'ee II Irogram AdopbbnIIII )rocess
Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in the California Government Code section 66016. Adoption of an impact fee program requires the City Council to follow certain procedures including holding a public hearing. Data, such as an impact fee report, must be made available at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. The City's legal counsel should be consulted for any other procedural requirements as well as advice regarding adoption of an enabling ordinance and/or a resolution. After adoption there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before the fees go into effect.
hflabbn Adjustment
The City can keep its impact fee program up to date by periodically adjusting the fees for inflation.
Such adjustments should be completed regularly to ensure that new development will fully fund its share of needed facilities. We recommend that the California Construction Cost Index ( https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Resources/Page-Content/Real-Estate-Services-Division- Resources-List-Folder/DGS-California-Construction-Cost-Index-CCCI) be used for adjusting fees for inflation. The California Construction Cost Index is based on data from the Engineering News Record and is aggregated and made available for free by the State of California.
The fee amounts can be adjusted based on the change in the index compared to the index in the base year of this study (2022).
While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, the City will also need to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available. Note that decreases in index value will result in decreases to fee amounts.
Reparfing Requirements
The City will comply with the annual and five-year reporting requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. For facilities to be funded by a combination of public fees and other revenues, identification of the source and amount of these non-fee revenues is essential. Identification of the timing of receipt of other revenues to fund the facilities is also important.

' 0. Mitigation Fee Act Findings
Public facilities fees are one-time fees typically paid when a building permit is issued and imposed on development projects by local agencies responsible for regulating land use (cities and counties). To guide the widespread imposition of public facilities fees the State Legislature adopted the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act) with Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987 and subsequent amendments. The Act, contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025, establishes requirements on local agencies for the imposition and administration of fee programs.
The Act requires local agencies to document five findings when adopting a fee.
The five statutory findings required for adoption of the public facilities fees documented in this report are presented in this chapter and supported in detail by the preceding chapters. All statutory references are to the Act.
IIII a ii III
■ Identify the purpose of the fee (§66001(a)(1) of the Act).
Development impact fees are designed to ensure that new development will not burden the existing service population with the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The purpose of the fees documented by this report is to provide a funding source from new development for capital improvements to serve that development. The fees advance a legitimate City interest by enabling the City to provide public facilities to new development.
Use af C
■ Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital improvement plan as specified in §65403 or§66002, may be made in applicable general or specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the facilities for which the fees are charged(§66001(a)(2) of the Act).
Fees documented in this report, if enacted by the City, would be used to fund expanded facilities to serve new development. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be located within the City limits. Fees addressed in this report have been identified by the City to be restricted to funding the following facility categories: transportation facilities, parks and recreation facilities, general government facilities, law enforcement facilities and general plan updates.
II lit e l lib l
■ Determine the reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed(§66001(a)(3) of the Act).
The City will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities, infrastructure and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services used to serve new development. Facilities funded by the fees are expected to provide a citywide network of facilities accessible to the additional residents and workers associated with new development.
Under the Act, fees are not intended to fund planned facilities needed to correct existing deficiencies. Thus, a reasonable relationship can be shown between the use of fee revenue and the new development residential and non-residential use classifications that will pay the fees. 43 1 LLDAN
VIN4nN A dVlCti
Exhibit 2 59
City of Bell Gardens Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Burden ° III I
■ Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types of development on which the fees are imposed(§66001(a)(4) of the Act).
Facilities need is based on a facility standard that represents the demand generated by new development for those facilities. For each facility category, demand is measured by a single facility standard that can be applied across land use types to ensure a reasonable relationship to the type of development. For some facility categories service population standards are calculated based upon the number of residents associated with residential development and the number of workers associated with non-residential development. To calculate a single, per capita standard, one worker is weighted differently than one resident based on an analysis of the relative use demand between residential and non-residential development.
The standards used to identify growth needs are also used to determine if planned facilities will partially serve the existing service population by correcting existing deficiencies. This approach ensures that new development will only be responsible for its fair share of planned facilities, and that the fees will not unfairly burden new development with the cost of facilities associated with serving the existing service population.
Chapter 2, Growth Forecasts provides a description of how service population and growth forecasts are calculated. Facility standards are described in the Facility Standard sections of each facility category chapter.
III III" III III"
■ Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees amount and the cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed(§66001(b) of the Act).
The reasonable relationship between each facilities fee for a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project is based on the estimated new development growth the project will accommodate. Fees for a specific project are based on the project's size. Larger new development projects can result in a higher service population resulting in higher fee revenue than smaller projects in the same land use classification. Thus, the fees ensure a reasonable relationship between a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project.
See Chapter 2, Growth Forecasts, or the Service Population sections in each facility category chapter for a description of how service populations or other factors are determined for different types of land uses. See the Fee Schedule section of each facility category chapter for a presentation of the maximum justified facilities fees.

Item 2.
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: October 10, 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: October 10, 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, September 26, 2022, the City passed Resolution Number 2022-97, 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 26, 2022, through October 26, 2022, pursuant to Brown Act provisions. 106
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 2022-97 expires on October 26, 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 re-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.

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: October 10, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staffs recommendation that the City Council approve the attached Resolution reaffirming the declared local emergency due to the public threat caused by coronavirus (COVID-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 September 27, 2022, there have been 3,451,726 confirmed cases of COVI D-19 in Los Angeles County, which has resulted in 33,576 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 113
requiring medical care and hospitalization. If COVID-19 spreads at a rate comparable to the rate of spread in other 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.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Grissel Chavez, Director of Public Works
Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance &Administrative Services Patricia Ahumada, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CLASS SPECIFICATION /SALARY FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT; APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDEMENT FOR TWO PUBLIC
WORKS POSITIONS
DATE: October 10, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council by motion:
1. Approve the attached Resolution to amend the City's class plan and adopt the job specification and salary for the newly created Public Works Superintendent position; and
2. Approve a FY 2022-23 budget appropriation of $117,214 to hire two additional full-time positions in the Public Works Department (Public Works Superintendent and Senior Secretary).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On June 27, 2022, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget, which included a total of 148 authorized full-time staff positions. The Public Works Department has a need for two new full-time positions as further described below.
Public Works Superintendent
The Public Works Superintendent is a new proposed at-will mid-management classification with responsibility for assisting the Public Works Director with the overall management and administration of public works operations, projects, and services. This position is critical in providing the missing necessary management support to effectively handle day to day operations and project management. The Department currently has no mid-management position.
The Public Works Manager position was vacated in 2012 when the prior Manager was promoted to the Director role and it remained unfilled since then. The Public Works Department is a large department comprised of forty-five (45) personnel and it necessitates this mid-management position due to increasing demand, services, and projects that require constant management time and attention, such as: oversight of stormwater/environmental compliance; drinking water system; SB 1383 mandates; ongoing capital improvement projects such as the Ford Park Cistern Project and the the Aquatics Center. Additionally, the City secured funding for several new projects in the last year alone (Prop 68 Veterans Park, Measure A Marlow Park, Clean CA Caltrans-Asmus and Hannon Parks), and the list continues to grow. The Public Works Superintendent will enhance the level of service the Department can deliver to the community, by focusing on internal operations such as employee development and training, formalizing existing programs and services, and delivery of new tools and technology. 123
Pursuant to Personnel Rules Chapter 3, Classification, Section 3.01 Preparation and Adoption and Section 3.08 Class Allocation, staff is requesting that Council approve the class specification and salary of $139,967 (includes benefits) for the new position by adopting the attached Resolution. If approved, a budget appropriation of $69,984 is necessary to cover the costs of the position's salary and benefits for the latter half of the current fiscal year.
Senior Secretary
The Department administration is currently supported by one full-time Management Analyst and one full-time Secretary. The workload currently assigned to these two existing positions is high-volume demanding in response to customer service requests/phone calls/emails; handling all financial transactions; payroll; personnel documentation management; Council agenda reports and agreement editing and preparation; project and grant tracking and recordkeeping; environmental compliance and reporting; serving as liaison to consultants and city vendors/contractors; and more. Adding a third position of Senior Secretary is necessary to handle additional administrative duties on an ongoing basis, such as website/social media development; public information; workplace training development tracking and reporting; conversion of outdated work order system. The position will also assist the Director and new Superintendent with preparation of documentation, reports, and memos, etc. The addition of a new Senior Secretary position is necessary to further support the Department with more complex activities and duties, to keep up with the increasing demand of day-to-day operations as well as an increased number of projects.
The City already has a Senior Secretary position established in the classification system, and these positions already exist in some Departments, like Community Development and Recreation. In order for the Public Works Department to add this position and fill it, a budget appropriation of $47,230 is necessary to cover the costs of the position's salary and benefits for the latter half of the fiscal year. The current annual salary and benefits of the position is $94,460.
CONCLUSION:
Per the Personnel Rules, Chapter 3 Classification, any amendment, or revisions to the City's classification plan must be approved by Council. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council approve and adopt the class specification and salary for the proposed Public Works Superintendent position. Staff is also requesting Council appropriate the requested funding for the Department to be able to hire a new Public Works Superintendent and Senior Secretary position by January 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A budget appropriation of $117,214 (salary and benefits) is required to fund the hiring of the two new positions in the Public Works Department. If approved, it is anticipated that both positions may be filled by January 2023; therefore, only 50% of their annual salaries and benefits needs to be appropriated at this time.

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF LOKI MK2 DRONE
PACKAGE FORTHE POLICE DEPARTMENT
DATE: October 10, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Police Department to purchase the Loki MK2 drone package from Aardvark, who is the only sole source provider of this particular piece of equipment and authorized dealer.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Over the past three years the Bell Gardens Police Department (BGPD) Staff has been conducting extensive research on the rapidly evolving drone technology, and community impacts and benefits from various public safety deployment programs. BGPD Staff has been working to develop a public safety program that meets the unique needs and sensitivities, as well as regulatory requirements, of these types of aerial technologies as applied to the service needs and areas of the BGPD.
For several years, the BGPD has envisioned a drone program that captures the advantages of this rapidly changing technology. With the ability to enhance real time situational awareness and the ability to view both emergency scenes and everyday calls for services from a new perspective. BGPD Staff has conducted thorough research with leaders in the industries of both public safety and software companies regarding the Loki MK2 Drone set from Aardvark of La Verne, CA., for$13,834.20.Aardvark is the sole source provider of this particular piece of equipment.
Ensuring our officers can operate as safe as possible while still doing the dangerous work that comes with being a police officer is important. The BGPD is responsible for handling all critical incidents and at times these incidents involve individuals who are armed and refuse to submit to arrest. At times these individuals will barricade themselves in a house, garage, or other building, making any attempt to apprehend them extremely dangerous.
This piece of safety equipment will make the work asked of our officers much safer. This Loki MK2 drone was recommended to us by numerous law enforcement agencies within the Los Angeles County area. These law enforcement agencies have used this drone successfully on operations. The drone is designed for interior searches. The enclosed propellers allow the drone to fly under tables and furniture, as well as in attics and above drop ceilings. The built in camera provides a video feed to the drone pilot and is equipped with infrared LED night vision for operation in low light environments. The drone is also capable of two way audio communications. The Loki MK2 drone, with its extended capabilities and advanced technology, is the ideal drone for the BGPD day-to-day operations. This equipment will allow our police officers to visually clear a structure prior to entry; increasing the likelihood of a safe resolution.
133
The recommended Loki MK2 drone package is a complete drone kit for a total cost of $13,834.20. Aardvark provided a letter verifying their company is the sole source distributor of the Loki MK2 manufactured by SKY-HERO.
Bell Gardens Municipal Code Section 3.04.100(A) provides that for purchases of more than $10,000 the City Council may waive standard purchasing policy requirements when it 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. _Staff believes a formal process would not result in pricing or services that are more beneficial than the pricing and services offered by Aardvark, nor would it result in additional vendors. Therefore, staff does not recommend this alternative.
Therefore, the BGPD is seeking your approval to purchase the Loki MK2 drone package from Aardvark for a total cost of $13,834.20.
CONCLUSION:
Purchasing this Loki MK2 drone package from Aardvark will assist the police department with the day-to-day operations while keeping our police officers and community safe.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost for the Loki MK2 drone package from Aardvark is $13,834.20. Staff is requesting an appropriation from the Evidence Collection Fund for this purchase. Current Fund Balance in Evidence Collection Fund is $76,265.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Elizabeth Nava, Director of Recreation and Community Services SUBJECT: UPDATE ON THE WINTER WONDERLAND EVENT AND HOLIDAY PARADE DATE: October 10, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council receive and file this report.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On May 23, 2022, Council was provided with a list of citywide special events for the 22-23 Fiscal Year. One event listed was the Winter Wonderland — Holiday Food and Toy Giveaway which combined the traditional toy and food drive with the annual Holiday event. This year's holiday event is scheduled to be hosted at Veterans Park on Saturday, December 17. Staff were asked to look into a Parade during the holiday season and are planning on adding this exciting new feature to the Winter Wonderland event! Staff expect that the day would commence with the Holiday parade that will lead right into the Winter Wonderland and toy giveaway event and will conclude with a drive through food distribution.
Holiday Parade
After decades without a parade, the RCS staff are planning to reintroduce this fun activity by hosting a small-scale community parade. Staff are still working on the logistics of the parade; however, we are suggesting that the Parade begin on the corner of Florence Place and Emil with the participants lined up down Florence Place towards Scout.
The parade will then head west on Florence Place to Perry, turning right onto Perry heading north towards Loveland, then right on Loveland heading east to the Veterans Park Administration Building where the parade will conclude.
Staff will put out a call for parade entries and reach out to the Montebello Unified School District, local organizations, and groups to solicit participation.
Winter Wonderland Event
The Winter Wonderland event will include snow play, games, crafts, musical entertainment, a toy distribution and of course a special visit from Santa. The event will start as the parade ends so people can enjoy the parade before partaking in the festivities.
Toy Distribution
Staff will host a toy drive and partner with local schools and organizations to host toy drives to help acquire toys for the distribution at the Winter Wonderland event. Residents will have an opportunity to register their child for a toy prior to the event. Upon registration residents will be given a specific time to pick up their toy, this will help with keeping the wait times and long lines to a minimum. On the day of the event, anyone who pre-registered for a toy will check-in and receive a ticket that corresponds with their pickup time. The resident may then enjoy the event while 143
they wait for their pickup. Announcements will be made over the speakers to inform the residents when it is their turn to head to the Toy Distribution tent.
Food Distribution Event
Staff intends to host a Food Distribution event at the conclusion of the Winter Wonderland event. Staff is suggesting the food distribution take place at the Suva Intermediate parking lot adjacent to Veterans Park with cars queued up along Loveland St.
CONCLUSION:
RCS staff are continuing to plan the Winter Wonderland Event to include the Holiday Parade, toy giveaway and food distribution. Staff will share updated information and details of the event once they are finalized.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Elizabeth Nava, Director of Recreation and Community Services SUBJECT: REIMPLEMENTATION OF THE BELL GARDENS S.T.A.R. PROGRAM DATE: October 10, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff recommendation that the City Council receive and file the report.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
About the S.T.A.R. Program
Special Time For Adaptive Recreation or, The S.T.A.R. Program offers a fun and integrated environment where individuals with disabilities can partake in social and recreational activities with peers, family and friends. The S.T.A.R. Program provides participants with opportunities to partake in social activities, special events, recreational programming, and fun excursions! The S.T.A.R. program also offers resources for families and friends of individuals with disabilities. Staff work hard to provide participants with a setting where compassion and understanding flourish.
Like most programs and activities in Bell Gardens, the S.T.A.R. Program fell victim to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the City was forced to temporarily suspend the program in March 2020.
Prior to the Pandemic, the Bell Gardens S.T.A.R. Program had approximately 50 individuals registered for the program and about 30 who regularly participated in S.T.A.R. Program events and activities.
S.T.A.R. Program Re-implementation Plan
The Recreation and Community Services staff started the process to bring this beloved program back during the FY 22-23 Budget process. Council approved and allocated funding for the S.T.A.R. Program for this budget cycle.
The RCS Department has recently undergone some internal changes with personnel and are in the process of hiring and developing new staff for the S.T.A.R. Program. The RCS staff are eager to start the program and want to ensure its success, so we are taking the time to develop the team in preparation for the return of the program. Staff will attend in-depth trainings and skill development to ensure the best possible outcome for the reimplementation of the S.T.A.R. Program.
Staff expect the S.T.A.R. Program to return full swing in Spring 2023 and are looking to grow this program beyond what it used to be. We will host special events, ongoing activities, socials, excursions and provide resources and support for our participants and their families.
The S.T.A.R. Program hours of operation and location are yet to be confirmed at this time. 152
CONCLUSION:
The Recreation and Community Services Department is eager and diligently preparing for the return of the S.T.A.R.
Program. We look forward to reconnecting with our participants and meeting new friends! Additional details about the program will be provided to Council as they are confirmed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
