GENERAL MOTION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND APPROVE ORDINANCES BY TITLE ONLY PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36934 DATE: April 10, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's 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.

ARTICLE XVIII. FIELD TRAINING OFFICER
Section 1.

Section 2.

Section 3.

Section 4.

Section 5.

The FTO program is separate and distinct from the Senior Officer Program provided for in Article 22 of this agreement. The FTO program is to be governed solely by this Article.

Whereas the usual and customary duties of a Senior Officer include, but are not limited to, serving as an acting sergeant and as needed, as field training officer, those individuals designated pursuant to this Article as an FTO, shall have usual and customary duties relating to performance of patrol functions and provision of academic and practical training to and oversight of those sworn personnel assigned for such instructional purposes by management.

On an as -need basis to be determined in the sole discretion of management, solicitation shall be made for the assignment of FTO.

The minimum qualifications which shall be held at the time of an individual making application for an FTO assignment are:
a. Minimum cumulative three (3) years of service as sworn police officer in the employ of a California law enforcement agency as a Penal Code §830.1 officer.
b. Shall have successfully completed any Bell Gardens -mandated sworn peace officer probationary testing period.
c. All performance evaluation reports issued by the Bell Gardens Police Department (whether annual, quarterly or otherwise) shall in all measured protocols reflect a minimum "Satisfactory" evaluation.

Qualified applicants shall then be subject to evaluation by an Oral Board consisting of three (3) field services supervisors (sergeant or above) appointed to the Board by the Field Services Division Commander.
a. The Oral Board shall in its independent judgment, determine the nature of questions relevant to the Field Training Officer assignment, and may at the Board's sole discretion, require 14 Exhibit 2 100

applicants to demonstrate proficiency in the practical application of Department equipment and/or in practical ability to perform the duties of the FTO assignment.
b. The principal criteria to be employed by the Oral Board in determining whether or not an FTO applicant is qualified to perform in the assignment are:

1. Knowledge and understanding of applicable Code sections, City/Department rules, regulations and orders;

2. Demonstrated commitment to the goals, objectives and mission statement of the Police Department;

3. Exemplary disciplinary history;

4. Exemplary attendance history;

5. Demonstrated ability to serve as role model and to be perceived as such by trainees;

6. Exemplary demonstrated ability to successfully teach and train.

Section 6. Those applicants deemed by the Oral Board to be "qualified" to successfully serve in the assignment of FTO, shall be included in alphabetical order on an FTO eligibility list.

Section 7. The Field Services Division Commander shall be authorized to assign any individual on the eligibility list to an FTO assignment, without following the alphabetical order of listing. In making FTO assignments, the Field Services Division Commander shall give consideration to the needs of any particular trainee, availability of the FTO eligible individual, and the shift to which a trainee is assigned.

Section 8. Inclusion upon an FTO eligibility list does not ensure appointment to the assignment.

Section 9. The number of individuals simultaneously assigned to the FTO position shall be determined in the sole discretion of management; based on Department needs. However, in no case shall more than eight (8) Field Training Officer assignments be simultaneously staffed.

Section 10. Any officer performing as an FTO on the effective date of the Addendum to Fiscal Year 2004-2007 Memorandum of Understanding shall, at the discretion of management, continue to serve in that assignment until an FTO eligibility list is created as set forth in Section 6, above. Therefore, when the FTO eligibility list is created, all pre- existing FTO assignments shall be immediately vacated. Any pre- existing FTO may then participate in the above described FTO application process, and may be thereafter assigned to FTO status pursuant to the provisions of this Article. The former FTO shall no longer be eligible to receive the ASSIGNMENT INCENTIVES provided for in this agreement. All represented employees acting as an FTO at the time of the Addendum to Fiscal Year 2004-2007 Memorandum of 15 Exhibit 2 101

Understanding shall individually enter into an agreement waiving any right or option the individual may have pursuant to the Government Code§ 3304(b) or pursuant to any other statutory or case law authority, to appeal loss of the incentive compensation.

Section 11. Individuals assigned as FTOs pursuant to the Addendum to Fiscal Year 2004-2007 Memorandum of Understanding are eligible to seek assignment to what the Department may define as a "specialty assignment." If selected to perform in said "specialty assignment," and if appointment to the specialty assignment provides for a base salary increase while so assigned, the specialty assignment base salary increase shall be in lieu of the base salary increase being paid to the applicant by virtue of being assigned to an FTO position.

Section 12. Upon assignment out of the `specialty assignment," the former FTO shall be restored to the FTO eligibility list (should one exist) if the former FTO has maintained all qualifications rendering the individuals eligible to have applied for an FTO assignment pursuant to the Addendum to Fiscal Year 2004-2007 Memorandum of Understanding.

Such an individual restored to an FTO eligibility list shall then be subject to assignment from that list in the manner provided by the Addendum to Fiscal Year 2004-2007 Memorandum of Understanding for initial assignments to an FTO position. FTO compensation shall not be paid to the former FTO and special assignee, unless or until appointed from an existing FTO eligibility list.

Section 13. Upon being appointed to an FTO assignment, the officer shall be required to maintain all training and other certifications which are a necessary condition precedent to having been appointed to the FTO position and/or to maintain that appointment.

Section 14. Upon being assigned from an eligibility list as an FTO, the officer shall receive a 2.5% unadjusted base salary increase during each payroll period so assigned. In view of the officer having to maintain the necessary training and other qualifications which are conditions precedent to being assigned as an FTO, an individual assigned from an eligibility list shall continue to receive the 2.5% unadjusted base salary increase regardless of whether or not a trainee is assigned to the FTO during any given payroll period.

Section 15. The FTO position is an assignment and not a classification. All appointees to an FTO shall individually enter into a contractual agreement with the Department, addressing their administrative appeal rights (if any) regarding reassignment and/or loss of FTO- related compensation.

Section 16. At the sole discretion of the Police Chief, one or more FTO assignments can be eliminated, and if eliminated, with the attendant loss of the 2.5% unadjusted base salary increase. In the case of one or more FTO assignments being eliminated, the last individual 16 Exhibit 2 102

assigned to an FTO position, shall be the first individual to be reassigned upon elimination of an FTO assignment, with this methodology being utilized in any additional situations where removal from a FTO assignment is caused by elimination of that assignment.

ARTICLE XIX. ASSOCIATION DUES
The City shall collect, through payroll deduction, Association dues as established by the Association from those who voluntarily elect the dues deduction. The City shall be held harmless by the Association in performing this responsibility.

ARTICLE XX. MAINTENANCE OF BENEFITS

ARTICLE XXI. PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS
Section 1. The Personnel Rules and Regulations adopted by the City of Bell Gardens on June 24, 1991, are incorporated herein by reference, and shall continue to govern and the Drug Policy adopted by the City of Bell Gardens on June 24, 1997, are incorporated herein by reference, and shall continue to govern; provided that any changes to such policies which may be proposed by the City are subject to meeting and conferring to the extent required by law.

17 Exhibit 2 103

ARTICLE XXIII. SENIOR OFFICER PROGRAM
A. Purpose:

The Senior Officer program is designed to recognize Police Officers who proactively support the Bell Gardens Police Department's Community Based Policing philosophy and embrace a leadership role within the Department. The Senior Officer program will provide operational and supervisory support to Police Management while preparing assigned Officers for career advancement within the Department.

B. Compensation:

Police Officers who are assigned to Senior Officer assignment shall receive extra compensation in an amount equal to 7.5% of the top step base salary for Police Officer.

C. Duties and Responsibilities:

The usual and customary duties of a Senior Officer shall include, but are not limited to, serving as a mentor, field training officer (FTO), and/or shift supervisor (and any related duties) under the direction of a Sergeant or absent a Sergeant.

Senior Officers will be expected to take a leadership role in the development of patrol personnel and problem solving related to crime and quality of life issues in the community, while utilizing a Community Based Policing approach.

D. Assignment:

1. Senior Officer is a special assignment, not a classified position. The City authorizes up to a maximum of six (6) Senior Officers at one time.

2. Senior Officers shall have their seniority set forth by their appointment date to the assignment, after the initial selection process is completed.

Any existing personnel assigned to a Senior Officer assignment consistent with the previous MOU, will not be required to participate in the initial selection process for an assignment under this amended program, and are hereby grandfathered in to the new Senior Officer program. It is recognized that one (1) Police Officer currently fits this criteria.

3. The Department intends to assign four (4) Senior Officers to Field Services and two (2) Senior Officers to investigation units (one in GIU and one in SIU). A Senior Officer assigned to a detective assignment will not be entitled to the additional 7.5% compensation, given the 10% compensation already in place for a detective assignment. Senior Officers assigned to a detective assignment will remain in the assignment for a period of no more than three (3) years. Upon returning to Field Services, they will retain their Senior Officer status and begin receiving

7.5% compensation in lieu of the 10% compensation for a detective assignment.
18 Exhibit 2 104

4. For only the initial selection process of Senior Officer, it is understood that only one detective will be assigned to each investigations unit. It is also understood that both of these units have unique and specific needs for assigning or retaining experienced personnel. Therefore, if no one currently assigned to a detective assignment in either GIU and/or SIU is selected for a Senior Officer assignment, it will be necessary to remove one detective from either or both units so that one Senior Officer can be placed in that unit. If this occurs, removal of a detective from their respective investigations unit will occur as follows: In GIU, the detective who has been in the assignment longest will be returned to Field Services; In SIU, the detective most recently assigned to the unit will be returned to Field Services.

5. If multiple detectives in the same unit are selected to a Senior Officer assignment, removal from their respective investigations unit will occur as follows: In GIU, the detective(s) having the longest tenure in the unit will be returned to Field Services. In SIU, management will reserve the right to select which detective will remain in the unit. All other detectives in that unit will be returned to Field Services, unless they choose not to accept the Senior Officer assignment and wish to remain in the unit. If this occurs, they will not be placed on the eligibility list and required to test during a future selection process. The Chief of Police will then utilize the eligibility list to select a Senior Officer assignment based on the "Rule of 3".

6. The Senior Officer in GIU and SIU will be assigned to the detective assignment for no longer than a three (3) year term. Therefore, the Senior Officers that remains in their respective unit(s) will only be permitted to finish out their existing term. By way of illustration, a detective who has been assigned to their respective investigation unit for two (2) years and accepts a Senior Officer assignment will have one (1) year remaining on the detective assignment.

7. Any detective removed from a detective assignment and placed in Field Services as a result of the initial selection process for Senior Officer, will be required to apply and test for any future specialty assignment available in either investigations unit. Only Senior Officers assigned to Field Services may apply to a vacant Senior Officer detective assignment in GIU or SIU, but will not be permitted to apply for any other non -Senior Officer detective assignment, unless they choose to rescind their status as Senior Officer.

E. Qualifications and Selection Process:

Applicants for Senior Officer must have completed three (3) years of continuous service as a sworn Police Officer in a P.O.S.T. certified agency, with a minimum of two (2) years of service as a sworn Police Officer with the BeII Gardens Police Department.

Training / Experience, Commitment, Leadership, Decision Making / Judgement, and Communication / Interpersonal Skills.

The final ranking will incorporate both the averaged ranking from the scored written essay and the oral (3) panel interview. For the purposes of establishing the eligibility list for this assignment, the components of the selection process will be weighted as follows:
* Written Essay: 50%
* Oral Interview: 50%

4. The highest ranking applicants on the eligibility list will be considered to a Senior Officer assignment, and shall have their seniority in the Senior Officer program set based on their date of appointment. The Chief of Police will select assignments at his/her discretion from the eligibility list.

The Chief of Police may refer to an applicant's personnel file or any other department files that document the applicant's qualifications based on the aforementioned criteria.

5. Applicants not selected for an assignment will remain on an eligibility list which will expire (1) one year from the date that the list is established 20 Exhibit 2 106

and be utilized to fill vacant positions that occur during that time period.

The Chief of Police will select subsequent assignments at his/her discretion from active eligibility lists. Any selection process that occurs after the expiration of this first eligibility list will utilize the selection procedure currently in place for Police Department assignments as indicated in Section D (5).

6. Assignment to Senior Officer is desirable, however not a requirement, for appointment to the classification of Police Sergeant.

7. 'Seniority' - Seniority would be based on DATE OF APPOINTMENT. If more than one Senior Officer is selected then 'Seniority' would be determined based on final test scores then by badge number.

F. Shift Selection

1. Senior Officers will select their respective patrol shift every six (6) months consistent with how patrol shifts are currently selected. One (1) Senior Officer will be assigned to each of the four (4) patrol shifts. They will only be permitted to select from one of those four (4) shifts. Shift selection for Senior Officers assigned to Field Services will rotate by Date of Appointment.

2. One Senior Officer will be assigned to a Specialized Unit (General Investigations Unit and / or Special Investigations Unit) for 2 or 3 years at the discretion of the Chief of Police. Senior Officers may submit a `Memorandum of Interest' in order to be considered for a Specialized Assignment.

Once a Senior Officer leaves the specialized unit and returns to Field Services, that Senior Officer will be placed in the shift selection according to their seniority level within the overall Senior Officer group.

SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 931 ADDING CHAPTER 9.71

ART IN PUBLIC PLACES OF THE BELL GARDENS MUNICIPAL CODE DATE: April 10, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

On March 13, 2023, the City Council waived the full reading and introduced Ordinance No. 931, by title only, amending Title 9 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code. The Council, by a vote of 5-0, indicated its intent to adopt the ordinance.

In summary, the proposed ordinance is intended to expand the opportunities for residents and visitors to experience artistic, historic, and cultural aspects of the city through the placement of artwork associated with new and revitalization development. The proposed ordinance has been written to require applicants of proposed certain new development projects to install approved artwork in conjunction with entitled projects, donate artwork or an in -lieu contribution equal to one percent (1 %) of the total building valuation on -site to the City. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 931.

CONCLUSION:

If approved, Ordinance No. 931 will become effective 30 calendar days from April 10, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The ordinance's implementation is covered under existing staff services, so no negative fiscal impacts would occur. Rather, the associated in -lieu fee contributions will have positive fiscal impacts. The newly created funding will result in public art placed on public property as well as support for a wide range of art and cultural resources, including commissioning and creating artwork, performing arts programming, supporting new or existing cultural facilities, and/or historic site conservation projects.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Gustavo Romo, Community Development Director
Veronica Jaramillo, Housing Specialist
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN REVENUE & COST SPECIALISTS LLC AND THE CITY FOR THE PREPARATION OF A RENT

STABILIZATION AND TENANT EVICTION PROTECTIONS (RSTEP) PROGRAM

COMPREHENSIVE FEE STUDY
DATE: April 10, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On September 22, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 925, which added Chapter 5.62 "Rent Stabilization" and Chapter 5.63 "Tenant Eviction Protections" to Title 5 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code. The ordinance became effective on October 12, 2022. It was anticipated with the adoption of the ordinance that a comprehensive fee study would be required in order to fully implement the monetary requirements and staffing needs of the ordinance.

Staff prepared and released a Request for Proposals ("RFP") on November 14, 2022, to solicit professional services for a comprehensive fee study.

The RFP requested a scope of services proposal to prepare a comprehensive fee study that would address the following:

1. Development of new program of rental registry fee(s), rates, and charges;

2. City staff allocation;

3. Selection and configuration of database to manage the rental registries;

4. Determination of the number of rental units in the City; and

5. Review similar fees and applicability in comparable municipalities and document the findings.

The primary objective of the RFP was to receive consultant proposals for the preparation and adoption of a comprehensive fee study to determine the appropriate fees to recover program and administrative costs associated with the services provided to administer Ordinance No. 925. A Fee Study is necessary to ensure the City's proper and timely collection of fees to offset program costs.
138

EVALUATION OF CONSULTANT PROPOSALS
Staff reviewed the proposals received in response to the RFP and interviewed the consultants. Staff is recommending the selection of RCS Consultants based on subject experience, qualifications, cost, and previous experience with Rent Stabilization and Tenant Eviction Protections ("RSTEP") programing and fee studies in the southern California region. During the selection panel's evaluation process, it was discovered that RCS has assisted the City of Beverly Hills and is currently assisting the City of Santa Ana with their Rent Stabilization Fee Study.

If selected, RCS anticipates meeting with City staff within the coming weeks to understand the RSTEP Program processes and operations and establish appropriate fees based on a cost analysis. They will then develop a responsive methodology to calculate the estimated costs of providing new services. Prior to implementation, staff will present the recommendations and final report to City Council and pursue an amendment to the fee schedule to adopt the fees and additional staffing, if necessary, based on the recommendation of the cost study.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution No. 2023-25 approving a Professional Services Agreement with RCS, LLC for the preparation of the Bell Gardens comprehensive fee study associated with the newly adopted RSTEP ordinance (Ordinance No. 925).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The consulting services to be provided are based on an hourly rate with a not -to -exceed amount of $41,200 for the tasks identified in the RFP. Staff is requesting an appropriation from the General Fund in the amount of $41,200.

C.

3.2 ADDITIONAL INSURED REQUIREMENTS: The CGL Coverage and the Automobile Liability Insurance will contain an endorsement naming the CITY and CITY's elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds.
7 Exhibit 2 148

3.3 REQUIRED CARRIER RATING: All varieties of insurance required under this Agreement will be procured from insurers admitted in the State of California and authorized to issue policies directly to California insureds. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere under this Article, all required insurance will be procured from insurers who, according to the latest edition of the Best's Insurance Guide, have an A.M. Best's rating of no less than A:VII. CITY may also accept policies procured by insurance carriers with a Standard & Poor's rating of no less than BBB according to the latest published edition the Standard & Poor's rating guide. As to Workers' Compensation Insurance/ Employer's Liability Insurance, the CITY Representative is authorized to authorize lower ratings than those set forth in this Section.

3.4 PRIMACY OF CONSULTANT'S INSURANCE: All policies of insurance provided by CONSULTANT will be primary to any coverage available to CITY or CITY's elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by CITY or CITY's elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers will be in excess of CONSULTANT's insurance and will not contribute with it.

3.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement will not prohibit CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT's officers, employees, agents, subcontractors or subconsultants from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers.

3.6 VERIFICATION OF COVERAGE: CONSULTANT acknowledges, understands and agrees, that CITY's ability to verify the procurement and maintenance of the insurance required under this Article is critical to safeguarding CITY's financial well-being and, indirectly, the collective well-being of the residents of the CITY.

Accordingly, CONSULTANT warrants, represents and agrees that it will furnish CITY with original certificates of insurance and endorsements evidencing the coverage required under this Article on forms satisfactory to CITY in its sole and absolute discretion. The certificates of insurance and endorsements for each insurance policy will be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf, and will be on forms provided by the CITY if requested. All certificates of insurance and endorsements will be received and approved by CITY as a condition precedent to CONSULTANT's commencement of any Work. Upon CITY's written request, CONSULTANT will also provide CITY with certified copies of all required insurance policies and endorsements.

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

Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by counsel of CITY's choice.

4.6 CITY does not, and shall not waive any rights that it may possess against CONSULTANT because of the acceptance by CITY, or the deposit with CITY, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement.

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

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach.

No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

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