RECO MENDATION: It is staff's recommendation that the
City Council:
1. Determine the action exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3); and
2. Adopt the attached Resolution approving a First
Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement
between the City of Bell Gardens and Tierra West
Advisors, Inc. for continued administration consulting
for the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant for
the cleanup of the contaminated former Berk Oil site
located at 5600-5636 Shull Street.
CONCLUSION: Tierra West Advisors, Inc. has provided
valuable consulting services to the City and has a deep understanding of the historical and proposed Site activity.
Based on their administrative and community outreach work to date, and the additional steps needed to continue helping the City coordinate the administration of the ECRG, liaise with the community, consultants, the staff, and assist with record keeping considering the extended grant funding timing, it is recommended that the City Council approve a First
Amendment to the Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Adoption of the attached Resolution
approving the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Tierra West Advisors, Inc. would have no fiscal impact to the City since Site hazardous waste cleanup activities are funded in full by the ECRG.

RECOMMENDATION: It is staff's recommendation that the
City Council waive full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 953 to approve the proposed Development Agreement (DA) No.
2024-015 for a cannabis retail storefront at 6300 Gage Avenue.
CONCLUSION: If approved, Ordinance No. 953 would become effective 30 calendar days after approval, in addition within 60 calendar days, the operator and property owner must

Benefit Fees). The Applicant would also be required to make quarterly contributions equal to seven percent (7%) of gross receipts, as defined in the DA, for the preceding quarter, once operations have commenced (Quarterly Community Benefits Fees). Pursuant to the Development Agreement Procedures and DA terms, eighty percent (80%) of these funds would be dedicated to the City's youth and educational programming and the City's housing programs. The DA also provides
additional community benefits for the City's youth, as
described in greater detail below (Annual Youth -Specific Benefits Fees) to be renewed on an annual basis:
L $25,000 annual contribution to the City for the purpose of funding academic scholarships for City's youth

other youth programming costs at the John Anson Ford

The mechanisms of distribution to be determined by the City to ensure their equitable distribution.
