Code § 2782(b). This indemnity is effective without reference to the existence or applicability of any insurance coverage(s) which may have been required under the Agreement or any additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees. Accountants, attorneys, or other professionals employed by Indemnitor to defend Indemnitees shall be selected by Indemnitees.
CONTRACTOR, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting within the scope of their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the Indemnitor regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by the Indemnitees.
B. CONTRACTOR's obligations under this or any other provision of this Agreement will not be limited by the provisions of any workers compensation act or similar act.
CONTRACTOR expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to the Indemnities.
CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those in this Section from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations for the benefit of CITY, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from and against any and all claims and losses, costs or expenses for any damage due to death or injury to any person and injury to any property resulting from any alleged, intentional, reckless, negligent or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR or any of its officers, employees, servants, agents, subcontractors, volunteers or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by counsel of CITY's choice.
D. CITY does not, and shall not; waive any rights that it may possess against CONTRACTOR because of the acceptance by CITY, or the deposit with CITY, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. This hold harmless and indemnification provision shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the claim, demand, damage, liability, loss, cost or expense. CONTRACTOR agrees that CONTRACTOR's covenant under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
E. CONTRACTOR shall fully comply with the workers' compensation laws regarding CONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR's employees.

SECTION 15. INSURANCE.
A. CONTRACTOR shall at all times during the term of this Agreement carry, maintain, and keep in full force and effect, insurance as follows:
Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each occurrence and in the aggregate for any personal injury, death, loss or damage.
2. Automobile Liability Insurance for any owned, non -owned or hired vehicle used in connection with the performance of this Agreement with minimum limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
3. Worker's Compensation insurance as required by the State of California.
CONTRACTOR shall require each of its sub -consultants or sub -contractors to maintain insurance coverage that meets all of the requirements of this Agreement.
C. The policies required by this Agreement shall be issued by an insurer admitted in the State of California and with a rating of at least A:VII in the latest edition of Best's Insurance Guide.
CONTRACTOR agrees that if it does not keep the insurance required in this Agreement in full force and effect, CITY may either immediately terminate this Agreement or, if insurance is available at a reasonable cost, CITY may take out the necessary insurance and pay, at CONTRACTOR'S expense, the premium thereon.
E. Prior to commencement of Work under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall file with CITY's Risk Manager a certificate or certificates of insurance showing that the insurance policies are in effect and satisfy the required amounts and specifications required pursuant to this Agreement.
F. CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance expiring during the Term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof will be furnished at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.
G. The general liability and automobile policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement naming CITY, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, servants, volunteers, successors and assigns as additional insureds.
All of the policies shall contain an endorsement providing that the policies cannot be canceled or reduced except on thirty (30) days' prior written notice to CITY.
CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify the certificates of insurance to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word "endeavor" with regard to any notice provisions.
All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall 13
be primary and any other insurance, deductible, or self-insurance maintained by the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with this primary insurance. Policies shall contain or be endorsed to contain such provisions.
All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not prohibit CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR's employees, agents, subcontractors, or volunteers from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers.
Any deductibles or self -insured retentions must be approved by CITY. At the option of CITY, CONTRACTOR shall either reduce or eliminate the deductibles or self -insured retentions with respect to CITY, or CONTRACTOR shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and expenses.
If CONTRACTOR is a Limited Liability Company, general liability coverage must be amended so that the Limited Liability Company and its managers, affiliates, employees, agents, and other persons necessary or incidental to its operation are insureds.
L. Procurement of insurance by CONTRACTOR shall not be construed as a limitation of CONTRACTOR's liability or as full performance of CONTRACTOR's duties to indemnify, hold harmless and defend under Section 15 of this Agreement.
M. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.
CITY reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.
SECTION 16. RECORDS AND INSPECTION. CONTRACTOR shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such books and records as shall be necessary to document the performance of the Work and enable the CITY to evaluate the performance of the Work.
The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of CITY, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of four (4) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the CITY shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required.
SECTION 17. TERMINATION.
A. Termination for Convenience. CITY may immediately terminate this Agreement for convenience, without cause and without penalty or liability at any time upon the 14
issuance of written notice to CONTRACTOR specifying the effective date of such termination. Such termination for convenience shall be made in writing signed by the City Manager. CONTRACTOR may only terminate this Agreement for cause.
B. Termination for Cause. In the event either Party fails to perform any duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement (or fails to timely perform or properly perform any such duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement), an event of default (hereinafter, "Event of Default") shall occur. For all Events of Default, the Party alleging an Event of Default shall give written notice to the defaulting Party (hereinafter referred to as a "Default Notice") which shall specify: (i) the nature of the Event of Default; (ii) the action required to cure the Event of Default; (iii) a date by which the Event of Default shall be cured, which shall not be less than the applicable cure period set forth in this Section or if a cure is not reasonably possible within the applicable cure period, to begin such cure and diligently prosecute such cure to completion. The Event of Default shall constitute a breach of this Agreement if the defaulting Party fails to cure the Event of Default within the applicable cure period or any extended cure period allowed under this Agreement. An Event of Default shall include, but shall not be limited to the following: (i) CONTRACTOR's failure to fulfill or perform its obligations under this Agreement within the specified time or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time; (ii) CONTRACTOR's and/or its employees' disregard or violation of any federal, state, local law, rule, procedure or regulation; (iii) the initiation of proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, or similar legislation as relates to CONTRACTOR, whether voluntary of involuntary; (iv) CONTRACTOR's refusal or failure to perform or observe any covenant, condition, obligation or provision of this Agreement; and/or (v) CITY's discovery that a statement representation or warranty by CONTRACTOR relating to this Agreement is false or erroneous in any material respect, including any statement, representation or warranty set forth in the Equipment Specifications.
1. CONTRACTOR shall cure the following Event of Default within the following time periods:
Within three (3) business days of CITY's issuance of a Default Notice for any failure of CONTRACTOR to timely provide CITY or CITY's employees or agents with any information and/or written reports, documentation or work product which CONTRACTOR is obligated to provide to CITY or CITY's employees or agents under this Agreement.
Prior to the expiration of the 3 -day cure period, CONTRACTOR may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONTRACTOR has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 3 -day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY shall be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an Event of Default under this subsection that exceeds seven (7) calendar days from the end of the initial 3 -day cure period; or Within thirty (30) calendar days of CITY's issuance of a Default Notice for any other Event of Default under this Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the 30 -day cure period, CONTRACTOR may submit a 15
written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONTRACTOR has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 30 -day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY shall be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an Event of Default under this subsection that exceeds thirty (30) calendar days from the end of the initial 30 -day cure period.
If an Event of Default relates to a material falsehood or misrepresentation set forth in Exhibit "B" that is not susceptible to a cure, CITY in its sole and absolute discretion may elect to treat the falsehood or misrepresentation as a breach of this Agreement or waive the falsehood or misrepresentation. The foregoing notwithstanding, the prior waiver of a falsehood or misrepresentation as an Event of Default shall not operate as a waiver or any other falsehood or misrepresentation later discovered by CITY.
2. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, CITY shall cure any Event of Default asserted by CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) calendar days of CONTRACTOR's issuance of a Default Notice, unless the Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 30 -day cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 30 -day cure period, CITY may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CITY has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 30 -day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, an Event of Default dealing with CITY's failure to timely pay any undisputed sums to CONTRACTOR shall be cured by CITY within five (5) calendar days from the date of CONTRACTOR's Default Notice to CITY.
3. CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also immediately suspend CONTRACTOR's performance under this Agreement (or the performance of any specific task or function performed by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement) pending CONTRACTOR's cure of any Event of Default by giving CONTRACTOR written notice of CITY's intent to suspend CONTRACTOR's performance (hereinafter, a "Suspension Notice"). CITY may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Upon such suspension, CONTRACTOR shall be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONTRACTOR to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY shall operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY's ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.
4. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.
5. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any 16
duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.
In addition to any other remedies available to CITY at law or under this Agreement in the event of any breach of this Agreement, CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also pursue any one or more of the following remedies:
Upon written notice to CONTRACTOR, the CITY may immediately terminate this Agreement in whole or in part;
Upon written notice to CONTRACTOR, the CITY may extend the time of performance;
iii. The CITY may proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of the Agreement to recover damages for CONTRACTOR's breach of the Agreement or to terminate the Agreement; or
iv. The CITY may exercise any other available and lawful right or remedy.
CONTRACTOR shall be liable for all legal fees plus other costs and expenses that CITY incurs upon a breach of this Agreement or in the CITY's exercise of its remedies under this Agreement.
6. In the event CITY is in breach of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR's sole remedy shall be the suspension or termination of this Agreement and/or the recovery of any unpaid sums lawfully owed to CONTRACTOR under this Agreement for completed services and tasks. In no event shall CONTRACTOR be entitled to receive more than the amount that would be paid to CONTRACTOR for the full performance of the services required by this Agreement.
7. No waiver of any default or breach under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other default or breach, whether of the same or other covenant, warranty, agreement, term, condition, duty or requirement contained in this Agreement. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.
SECTION 18. FORCE MAJEURE. The Term shall be extended in the event of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control of CONTRACTOR and without the fault or negligence of CONTRACTOR, including but not limited to severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the CITY, if the CONTRACTOR shall within three (3) calendar days of the commencement of such delay notify the City Representative in writing of the causes of the delay. The City Representative shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the City Representative such delay is justified. The City Representative's determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. In no event shall CONTRACTOR be entitled to recover damages against the CITY for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, CONTRACTOR'S sole remedy being 17
extension of the Agreement pursuant to this Section.
SECTION 19. NOTICES. Any notices, bills, invoices, or reports required by this Agreement shall be deemed received on: (a) the day of delivery if delivered by hand or overnight courier service during CONTRACTOR's and CITY's regular business hours; or (b) on the third business day following deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses heretofore below, or to such other addresses as the parties may, from time to time, designate in writing.

AGENDA REPORT
TO:
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY:
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities
Doug Benash, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing the Installation of Disabled Person Parking Spaces Fronting 5843 Fostoria Street, 6909 Adamson Avenue, and 7816 1/2 Eastern Avenue
DATE: January 13, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the installation of 18 feet of blue curb disabled person parking fronting 5843 Fostoria Street, and 20 feet of blue curb disabled person parking fronting 6909 Adamson Avenue and 7816 1/2 Eastern Avenue; and
2. Rescind Resolution No. 2024-94.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
Staff received three separate requests to install disabled person parking spaces fronting 5843 Fostoria Street, 6909 Adamson Avenue, and 7816 1/2 Eastern Avenue. The City has a policy to evaluate requests for disabled person parking spaces on the City's streets. As required by the City's policy, the vehicle in question, utilizing a disabled person placard issued by the State of California, is to be registered to the resident along with the vehicle to the address of the property. The City's Traffic Engineer completed site investigations at each of the three locations to confirm existing conditions. 5843 Fostoria Street has inadequate on -site parking to accommodate or facilitate on -site entry/exit of a large truck used to carry the disabled person's wheelchair, bike and walker for disabled person access; and there are no current rental arrangements for large vehicles with the landlord. 5843 Fostoria Street is a local residential street with prima facia speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The street has some single-family homes with a majority of multi -family dwelling units on both sides of the street. The resident is requesting the installation of on -street disabled person parking (blue curb) for disabled person access.
The resident indicated there is on -site assigned parking; however, the vehicle they use for the disabled person access must park on the street. 6909 Adamson Avenue has inadequate on -site parking to accommodate or facilitate on -site entry/exit of a large truck used to carry the disabled person's wheelchair, bike and walker for disabled person access; and there are no current rental arrangements for large vehicles with the landlord. 6909 Adamson Avenue is a local residential street with prima facia speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The street has some single-family homes with a majority of multi -family dwelling units on both sides of the street. The resident is requesting the installation of on -street disabled person parking (blue curb) for disabled person access. The resident indicated there is assigned parking on site; howe Page 409 of 547
vehicle they use for the disabled person access must park on the street. 7816 1/2 Eastern Avenue has assigned parking for the tenants. Eastern Avenue is an arterial street with a speed limit of 40 miles per hour. The street is a divided arterial with two lanes of travel and one parking lane with a raised, landscaped median island. The street is a majority commercial property with a few multi -family residential units on both sides of the street. The resident is requesting the installation of on -street disabled person parking (blue curb) for disabled person access. The tenants have assigned parking spaces that are too narrow to accommodate opening the door and having enough space for the applicant to maneuver into the vehicle. Aside from the driveway, all other parking spaces are the same. In the past, tenants were able to park on the driveway; however, now it is a designated fire lane, and the new owners do not allow any parking on the driveway.
On November 5, 2024, the Traffic and Safety Commission approved for City Council's consideration the installation of all three disabled person parking blue curb spaces fronting 5843 Fostoria Street, 6909 Adamson Avenue and 7816 1/2 Eastern Avenue, with the caveat that the blue curb allows anyone to park in that space with a valid disabled person placard issued by the State.
CONCLUSION:
If the City Council adopts the attached resolution, Public Works will proceed with the installation of 18 feet of blue curb disabled person parking fronting 5843 Fostoria Street, and 20 feet of blue curb disabled person parking fronting 6909 Adamson Avenue and 7816 1/2 Eastern Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$750 for materials and labor from the Street Maintenance Account.

AGENDA REPORT
TO:
FROM:
BY:
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE FUNDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
BELL GARDENS AND THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY FUNDING
AGREEMENT NO. 920000000F7120
DATE: January 13, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving Amendment No. 3 to Funding Agreement 920000000F7120 between the City of Bell Gardens and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the Eastern Avenue and Florence Avenue Regional Surface Transportation Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
In 2013, the City of Bell Gardens ("City") submitted a grant application to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("LACTMA") for the Eastern Avenue and Florence Avenue Regional Surface Transportation Improvement Project (the "Project") in response to the 2013 Call for Projects. The scope of the Project includes 1) widening of Florence Avenue to enable two westbound left -turn lanes and a dedicated westbound right -turn lane to increase the intersection's traffic capacity and reduce congestion; 2) widening of sidewalks from 5 feet to 8 feet on the north side of Florence Avenue for a distance of 1,500 linear feet; 3) installation of high visibility crosswalks; 4) installation of pedestrian level lights; 5) planting of drought -tolerant landscaping; 6) upgrades to the signal timing at the Eastern Avenue/Florence Avenue and adjacent Ajax Avenue/Florence Avenue intersections to facilitate the added traffic lanes.
On September 26, 2013, the LACMTA Board of Directors ("Board") authorized a grant to the City for the Project, and on August 25, 2016, the LACMTA Board approved the programming of $2,200,182 of Prop C 25% funds for the Project, along with a local match of $836,713 in Prop C Local Return and $348,000 in Measure R funds, for a total Project amount of $3,384,895.
On June 19, 2017, the City and LACMTA entered into Funding Agreement No. 920000000F7120 ("Funding Agreement") for the Project, setting funding lapsing dates of
June 30, 2020, for the Prop C 25% funds and June 30, 2021, for the Measure R funds.
On September 12, 2018, the City and LACMTA entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Funding Agreement to replace the Prop C Local Return funds with additional Measure R funds, and to set the lapsing date for those additional Measure R funds to June 30, 2022.
On June 10, 2024, City Council approved Amendment No.2 to the Funding Agreement with LACMTA extend the Prop C 25% funds lapsing date to February 28, 2024, and to extend the Measure R lapsing date to June 30, 2024.
Public Works staff has been working with LACMTA on a potential subsequent amendment to extend the funding lapsing dates for one additional year to allow for the completion of the Project. On January 7, 2025, LACMTA provided City staff with Amendment No. 3 to extend Prop C 25% funds to February 28, 2025, and Measure R funds to June 30, 2025.
The original estimated Project cost of $3,384,895 is now almost eight years old, inflation and cost escalation have not been taken into account. Based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI Inflation Calculation, the cost of the Project in today's dollars would be approximately $4,407,000, which represents a funding shortfall of approximately $1,022,000. Therefore, Public Works staff is also actively seeking additional funding from LACMTA to cover the funding gap for the Project.
CONCLUSION:
Approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Funding Agreement will allow the City to continue working with LACMTA on a potential subsequent extension of funding lapsing dates as the City continues to work on the Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact in executing Amendment No. 3 to the Funding Agreement.
However, should the Project move forward, the City will be requesting additional funds from LACMTA to cover the Project's funding shortfall due to inflation/cost escalation.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Part II, Paragraph 8.1 (iv), 8.1 (v), 8.2, and 8.3 of the Existing FA is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"8.1 (iv) Expending the Proposition C 25% Funds granted under this FA for allowable costs by the lapsing date. All Proposition C 25% Funds programmed for FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18 are subject to lapse by February 29, 2024.

8.2 Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports will be used to evaluate compliance with the Project milestone due dates as identified in the FA. Even though Grantee is within its last 20 -month lapse date extension, if the Project still does not meet the milestone due dates as agreed upon in the FA, LACMTA will issue a notice of non-compliance to the GRANTEE, the GRANTEE will be required to develop a written recovery plan illustrating in detail the GRANTEE's actions to resolve the delay and to meet the Project completion date agreed upon in the FA (the "Recovery Plan"). If the Recovery Plan is deemed viable by LACMTA staff, and meets the Project completion date agreed upon in the FA, LACMTA may grant an administrative schedule update as long as the Funds are expended in compliance with (iv) above. If GRANTEE fails to submit a Recovery Plan within 30 days of the notice of non- compliance from LACMTA, or the Recovery Plan illustrates that the Project will not meet the lapse date in the FA, LACMTA may recommend potential deobligation of the Funds as part of its annual Call for Projects Recertification/Deobligation process.

7. CONSDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 878 AMENDING SECTIONS 17.28.060 AND
17.28.100 OF CHAPTER 17.28 AND RESOLUTION NO. 2016-19 EXPRESSING
SUPPORT FOR STATE LEGISLATION TO GRANT LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES GREATER AUTHORITY TO REGULATE REGISTERED SEX
OFFENDERS
On October 26, 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 828, adding Chapter
17.28 to Title 17 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code, which prohibited sex offenders, regardless of whether that person is on parole or probation, from being within 300 feet of facilities and locations where children regularly gather, subject to certain narrow exemptions. On March 2, 2015, the Supreme Court of California, in In re Taylor (2015) 60 Cal.4th 1019, held that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's (the "CDDR") blanket enforcement of the Penal Code's residency restrictions on registered sex offenders was unconstitutional. On January 25, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance 869, to conform to the precedent set by In re Tay/or. In December 2015, a lawsuit was filed against the City by a sex offender advocacy group challenging portions of the City's remaining sex offender ordinance. As part of a proposed global settlement, the proposed ordinance would repeal portions of the City's sex offender ordinance. Even with this revision of the BGMC, the CDCR retains the authority to impose special parole conditions on sex offender parolees, as long as they are based on the fact specific circumstances of each individual parolee and case. The remaining portions of the City's sex offender ordinance will continue to place restrictions on multiple sex offenders from living or occupying the same dwelling, unless legally related by blood, marriage or adoption. Amending section 17,28,060 of Chapter 17.28 does not prevent the City from adopting a similar provision in the future, if circumstances are changed by a future Court or state legislative action. City Staff has included a draft City Council resolution for consideration, which if adopted, urges state law makers to enact state legislation that would grant local government agencies greater authority to regulate registered sex offenders within their Jurisdictions, Once adopted, the resolution will be sent to local state lawmakers.
Recommendation: it is recommended that the City Council do the following: (1) Introduce and waive first reading of draft Ordinance No. 878, amending sections
17.28.060 and 17.28.100 of Chapter 17.28 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code entitled "Local Regulation of Sex Offenders," and direct staff to bring back Ordinance No.878 for approval and waiver of second reading at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting; and (2) Adopt draft City Council Resolution No. 2016-19 expressing support and urging state legislation granting local government agencies greater authority to regulate registered sex offenders within their jurisdictions, DISCUSSION (Item No. 8-12)
8. INTRODUCE AND WA VE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 876 AMENDING CHAPTER 16,20 OF THE.. BELL GARDENS MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO
MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY
The Maintenance of Properly Ordinance ("Ordinance") was originally enacted to define conditions and uses of land that are detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, or which reduce property values in the City. Said regulations were developed to promote the sound maintenance of property, and enhance conditions of appearance, habitability, and safety of all structures and premises in the City by enacting minimum property maintenance standards. Amendments to the Ordinance were enacted in 1998 and 2002, The proposed draft ordinance will remove unenforceable citation provisions, and Officers will be able to rely on updated, and newly created, remedy and penalty provisions. The proposed amendment would allow Officers to give a shorter compliance deadline than ten (10) days, including a twenty-four (24) deadline, if emergency Any wriitngs or doaments provided to the maJodly of the Clty CouncJUSuecaascrAgency regarddng any item on this agenda will be made available for public inspection at the Receptionist Counter, City Hell, 7100 Garfield Avenue, Doll Gardens, CA, during normal business hours.
circumstances demand immediate corrective action by property owners. The proposed amendment also prohibits graffiti that is visible from any real property, public street, sidewalk, alley, or other public right-of-way. The proposed amendments will clarify the property maintenance regulations for the public,, and will allow Officers to enforce the City's laws in a more efficient and effective manner.
Recommendation: It Is staffs recommendation that the City Council introduce and waive first reading of Ordinance No. 876 entitled An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Sell Gardens Amending Chapter 16.20 of Title 16 of the Beal Gardens Municipal Code, Relating to the Maintenance of Property." The proposed amendments include. 1) elimination of citation provisions that are not enforceable under the existing Municipal Code; 2) creation of remedy and penalty provisions that are enforceable and consistent with the existing Municipal Code; 3) modification of the enumerated property maintenance offenses to provide additional clarification; and 4) addition of a specific property maintenance offense related to the abatement of graffiti.
AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S CARD CLUB LICENSE REGULATIONS ORDINANCE The City enacted the Card Club License Regulations Ordinance in 1982 (the "Ordinance'), adding Chapter 5.25 to the BGMC. The licensing requirements and regulations provide for the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. When the Ordinance was adopted the State's gambling industry was almost completely unregulated, and the Ordinance, and subsequent amendments, were necessary to protect the interests of the City and the public. Since the City adopted the Ordinance, the State has taken on the burden of regulating, reviewing, Investigating, and approving card clubs and card club employees, mainly through the Gambling Control Act (the "Act"). Under the Act there are two State entities that regulate gambling as it relates to card clubs, the Gambling Control Commission (the "Commission") and the Bureau of Gambling Control (the "Bureau"). With the State regulations In place, some of the City's regulations have become outdated and require updates to reflect changes in State law and general nomenclature. Additionally, with the addition of a hotel to the Bicycle Casino, consideration was necessary to make certain amendments to the Ordinance to address ambiguities that have arisen. The proposed changes to the Ordinance would update outdated portions of the Ordinance to reflect changes in State law, address ambiguities that have arisen as a result of the addition of a hotel to the Bicycle Casino, and clean-up portions of the Ordinance identified by City Staff. The proposed amendment can be made to the Ordinance without jeopardizing the public's health, safety, or welfare, The City provided a copy of the proposed ordinance to the Bureau, and on April 18, 2016, the Bureau sent as determination that the proposed changes are In compliance with the Gambling Control Act. The City is required to provide the Bureau with a signed, certified copy of the amendment upon approval.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive first reading of Ordinance No. 877 amending Chapter, 5.25 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code ("BGMC") regulating card clubs located in the City by updating outdated sections of Chapter 5.25 to reflect changes in State law, addressing ambiguities created by the_. opening of the hotel at the Bicycle Casino, and cleaning -up the Chapter.

RE COMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2016-20, adopting the fiscal year July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 (FY16/17) Operating and Capital improvement Budgets and Compensation Plan; and approve Resolution No. 2016-21, establishing the Appropriations Limit for FY16/17,
BACKGROUND:
In the upcoming FY16/17, after contributing $200,000 to reserves, the General Fund is estimated to have a surplus of $854,000 with projected revenues of $29,561,000 and estimated expenditures of $28,767,000. With the additional $200,000 contribution to reserves, the balance committed to contingencies will be $2,700,000 or 91% of General Fund expenditures.
The opening of the Bicycle Casino's hotel had a positive impact on the City's revenue sources. As a result, the budgeted revenue from the Bicycle Casino is estimated to be higher by $1,800,000. The Increase in revenue from the Bicycle Casino was offset by a decrease in lease revenue due to the negative effects of the RDA dissolution. This reduced the amount of lease revenue from the former RDA properties by $235,000. As a whole, budgeted General Fund revenues increased by $1,586,000.
Budgeted expenditures for FY16/17 saw the City experience many things observed in prior years - personnel costs continue to rise due to increases in CaIPERS employer retirement contributions and higher health insurance rates. On the positive side, the City saw a decrease in their general liability Insurance and other contractual services were lower. On the negative side, transfers out to other funds had a significant increase due to the Gas Tax fund exhausting its reserves along with lower revenues and higher expenditures. Gas Tax revenue has decreased from a high of $1,460,000 to the budgeted amount in FY16/17 of $882,000.
117
CaIPERS Pensions: CalPERS pension costs have consistently increased due to higher wages and higher contribution rates, The continued increases place a constant strain on the City's General Fund.
Street Maintenance: With a large portion of the City's restricted transportation funding dedicated to the City's fixed route services, less money is available to invest in street and alley improvements, placing the City behind in Its pavement management plan.
Facilities and Vehicles: As the City's facilities and vehicles begin to age, strategies need to be developed to create a funding mechanism to provide for their replacement.
Capital Protects arLei_Infrastructure Improvements
City staff is in the process of creating a roaster CIP plan that will be presented to the City Council for consideration. At this point, the proposed projects in the FY16/17 budget include projects funded by grants or restricted funds. It also includes seed money for one project that will be funded by the General Fund.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Michael O'Kelly, City Manager
SUBJECT: Discussion of Immigration Issues
DATE: January 13, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council receive and file this report.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
Based on recent comments from the incoming federal administration regarding the intent for deportation of immigrants, it is prudent for the City of Bell Gardens to reaffirm its intent to continue to value the dignity, inclusivity, compassion, and respect for all residents, regardless of their immigration status. Immigrants have been vital to the City, the region, the state, and the nation's development and the City will continue to foster trust between City officials and residents in order to encourage cooperation between residents and City officials, including law enforcement officers and employees, and to ensure public safety and due process for all.
The City will continue to protect residents in accordance with California Senate Bill 54 (SB 54), sometimes referred to as the "Sanctuary State" law, but formally known as the "California Values Act". In summary, SB 54, the California Values Act, restricts state and local agencies', including the City of Bell Gardens, involvement in federal immigration enforcement.
In addition to continuing to provide protection under SB 54, the City will continue to monitor immigration issues and any potential impacts on residents, increase outreach to residents through social media and other avenues regarding immigration issues and services, and continue to offer assistance through referral services to various immigration support agencies for the residents of Bell Gardens, including:
• Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF)
• Central American Resource Center (CARECEN)
CHIRLA (The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights)
These agencies provide a variety of services, including deportation defense, DACA applications, Visa applications, citizenship applications, and workshops.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Bell Gardens will continue to protect residents in accordance with California Senate Bill 54 (SB 54) while continuing to monitor federal immigration efforts and providing outreach, referrals, and assistance to residents with immigration status concerns.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
The City of Bell Gardens has consistently advocated for policies and initiatives that address the needs of our community and improve the quality of life for all residents. As the legislative landscape evolves, it is essential to establish a formal Legislative Platform ("Platform") to guide the City's engagement with federal, state, and local government representatives.
A Legislative Platform is a proactive document that outlines the priorities and concerns of the City Council to guide advocacy efforts at all levels of government. It serves as a tool to ensure that the City's interests are well -represented in ongoing legislative discussions and decisions. This document would provide direction to the City Manager to respond and act quickly on federal, state, or local legislation that may impact the City. Due to the constantly evolving political landscape, it is recommended that the Platform be reviewed regularly and updated annually. It will be published and distributed widely to ensure transparency and keep the public informed.

3. If the Mayor has concerns that the letter is not consistent with the Platform, staff will place the letter on the next City Council agenda for consideration;
4. Staff will finalize or modify the position letter as directed for the Mayor's signature and send it to the appropriate recipient.
The following legislative goals are presented for review and discussion:
• Advocate the City's legislative interests at the federal, state and local levels. • Provide information and updates to Legislators, the City Council, and staff on key issues and legislation that may impact the City.
• Serve as an active participant with other local governments, the League of California Cities, California Contract Cities Association, regional agencies such as SCAG, GCCOG, and local professional organizations on legislative/regulatory issues that are important to the City and our Region.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Michael O'Kelly, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Process to Facilitate and Prepare a Strategic Plan for The City of Bell Gardens
DATE: January 13, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council, by motion:
1. Direct staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to Facilitate and Prepare a Strategic Plan; or
2. Direct staff to prepare an internal process to facilitate and prepare a Strategic Plan; or
3. Receive and File
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
A Strategic Plan is a blueprint of the City's mission and goals along with planned projects and objectives that will ensure successful attainment of the mission and goals and usually cover a multi -year period, such as 3-5 years. A Strategic Plan sets the course for the City over a multi -year period and is then reevaluated and refreshed. The City of Bell Gardens does not currently have a Strategic Plan by which to guide activities and objectives to reach goals and fulfill the City's mission. Currently, the City's goals and objectives are effectively set and monitored through annual budget adoption, regular Council meetings, bi-weekly reporting from the City Manager, adopting various plans, approving resolutions, and making amendments to the Municipal Code.
A formal Strategic Plan will include several major components, including: 1.) Mission Statement, 2.) Vision Statement, 3.) Strategic Goals/Priorities, and 4.) Measurable Objectives. The Mission Statement is the foundation of the plan and shows what you do for the City's stakeholders. The Vision Statement builds on the mission by stating what you are hoping to achieve in the future in order to reach your mission. The Strategic Goals/Priorities are the major goals that the City wants to achieve to demonstrate progress towards fulfilling the Mission and Vision. The Objectives include measurable actions and tasks that ensure individual goals are attained.
As an example, Strategic Goals/Priorities may include areas such as Fiscal/Organizational Stability, Economic Development and Land Use, Infrastructure, Health/Wellness/Safety, and Community Engagement. Measurable Objectives may include preparation of a fiscal contingency plan, zoning code changes for better utilization of vacant properties, conducting annual in-depth maintenance of park equipment, creation of an at -risk youth intervention program, and offering an annual cor Page 546 of 547
stakeholder survey.
Overall, Strategic plans are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the day-to-day activities of the City, but a living document that defines the organization's goals and how the City intends to get there.
The process of establishing a Strategic Plan may be accomplished through various means, including 1.) issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) and hiring a specialized consulting firm to facilitate and prepare the Strategic Plan, or 2.) directing staff to formulate a process and develop the Strategic Plan internally. Option 1 may result in a more direct and experienced process, but at the cost of hiring a specialized consultant.
Option 2 may result in less direct costs, but will utilize staff time and resources and a less experienced process.
CONCLUSION:
The facilitation and preparation of a Strategic Plan will result in a documented blueprint of the City's mission and goals along with planned projects and objectives that will ensure successful and measurable attainment of the City's mission and goals.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of hiring a specialized consultant is estimated to be approximately $50,000, pending the results of an RFP. The fiscal impact of developing a Strategic Plan internally is not identifiable, but is estimated to utilize resources in an amount equal to, or greater than, the cost of hiring a specialized consultant due to the experience and focused/specific effort of a consultant.
