The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled.

These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. This provision is hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael O’Kelly, City Manager
BY: Daisy Gomez, City Clerk
SUBJECT:Local Commissions Appointment List
MEETING DATE:August 25, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council review the Commissions Appointments List and by motion, remove commissioners and/or make appointments to the posted vacancies.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
The Local Appointments List includes all Bell Gardens Commissions and Commissioners. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 825 on July 13, 2009 establishing minimum requirements for service on commissions. All Commissioners must reside within the City of Bell Gardens and may only serve on one Commission at a time. Once appointed, each Commissioner must adhere to the requirements of the City's Conflict of Interest Code and state-mandated AB 1234 ethics training and AB 1661 harassment training.
Ordinance No. 825 allows each Council Member to remove or appoint one candidate per Commission, subject to the approval of the Council majority. Appointed Commission Members serve terms that coincide with the term of the Council Member who made the appointment.
CONCLUSION:
After an appointment is made, Commission members will receive their Oath of Office before beginning service with their respective Commission at the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting. The City Clerk's Office will arrange for the proper filing of Conflict of Interest Code forms and schedule trainings for AB 1234 and AB 1661.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.

EXCUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael O’Kelly, City Manager
BY: Rigo Barrios, Captain
SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding Noise Regulations Pursuant to the Bell Gardens Municipal Code
MEETING DATE:August 25, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council receive and file this report.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
At the request of City Council, the Police Department will provide a historical background as to the following noise regulations:
•Section 16.24.030 (Penalties – Infractions) of Chapter 16.24 (Noise Regulations) of Title 16 (Health and Safety) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code;
•Chapter 16.25 (Cost Recovery for Police Service at Large Parties) of Title 16 (Health and Safety) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code; •Subsection (B) of Section 1.12.010 (Violations misdemeanors or infractions) of Chapter 1.12 (General Penalty) of Title 1 (General Provisions) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code; and
•Chapter 1.16 (Administrative Citations and Penalties) of Title 1 (General Provisions) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code.
The presentation will also elaborate on the purpose and scope of each of the above sections. In addition, the presentation will also cover the past practice of each of the sections and an overview of how the Police Department is currently using these sections as it relates to the "BGPD Notice of First Response – Disturbance" form (Commonly known as Notice of Loud Music/ Party Violation).
Over the last 12 months, calls for service regarding noise/ loud music complaints totaled 663 calls, of those calls, 17 resulted in a second notice.
REVISED last paragraph:
The Bell Gardens Municipal Code permits for citing violations as misdemeanors which include a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment for a period of up to 6 months. Page 202 of 218
Although the City has not previously enforced noise violations, staff will continue to consult with the City Prosecutor to see if filing for misdemeanors is an option that the City could explore.
CONCLUSION (REVISED):
Upon receiving a second call for complaint, the Bell gardens Police Department will begin filing for misdemeanor charges which shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for a period of up to 6 months, and or both. The first notice will continue to be treated as a warning with no financial impact or fee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact may include additional cost related to misdemeanor prosecution, offset by potential fines.

8 BGMC 16.24.340 Penalties – Infractions
v An infraction is the least serious offense
v Infractions do not lead to jail time, probation,
or create a criminal record
v The punishment for an infraction is a fine ($$$)
v Avoids the court system, no judge, no possible
Probation order from the court system
v Chapter 1.16 Administrative Citations and
Penalties
v Same process – fine – collection – case closed
v This practice is also known as the
administrative process which is how the city
currently addresses noise violations
BGMC 1.12.010(B) Misdemeanor
v A misdemeanor is more serious than an
infraction
v If you are charged with a misdemeanor, it will
create a criminal record
v Misdemeanors carry different punishments,
depending upon the seriousness of the offense
v Generally, misdemeanors can carry up to 1 year
jail sentence as well as a fine
v Because misdemeanors can result in jail time,
you will see a judge

deterrence, possibly Probation

8 CITY OF BELL GARDENS
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY: Elizabeth Nava, Director of Recreation and Community Services SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing Kounkuey Design Initiative to Apply for the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy Proposition 1 River Parkways and Urban Streams for Lower Los Angeles River Grant MEETING DATE: August 25, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing Kounkuey Design Initiative to apply for the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy Proposition 1 River Parkways and Urban Streams for Lower Los Angeles River Grant.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In August 2021 Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI) submitted an application to the California San Garbriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy Department (RMC) and was awarded $200,000 in Proposition 1 Grant funding for the “Bell Gardens Recovery Project at the Bell Gardens Golf Course”. With these funds, KDI surveyed members of the community to develop a vision plan for the space that is currently the Bell Gardens Golf Course. This vision plan is called, “Our Resilient Rio – A Vision Plan for the Future of The Bell Gardens Golf Course” (Vision Plan).
Using the survey input, KDI developed 3 concepts for the Vision Plan that were presented to the City Council. The City Council provided feedback on their preferences, and in March of last year voted on a final Vision Plan. The City Council authorized KDI to seek funding for vision plan design, construction plans and specifications and estimates, with the understanding that the next step in the process would be design only, not implementation.
RMC Grant
KDI informed City staff that the RMC announced the Proposition 1 River Parkways and Urban Streams for Lower Los Angeles River Grant, that will cover the cost of design, construction plans and specifications as well as implementation of at least one phase of
construction of the previously approved Vision Plan. Since the Grant requires implementation, additional City Council direction was required. Staff presented a Vision Plan update to City Council on August 11, 2025, and was directed to bring back an item for consideration of a resolution that would authorize KDI to apply for the Grant.
At this time, the consideration for the resolution is only for the Grant application. Should KDI be awarded the grant fundings, staff will come back to City Council to discuss the phases of implementation and details of the construction of the Vision Plan.
CONCLUSION:
KDI has informed staff of an RMC grant opportunity for the Our Resilient Rio Bell Gardens Golf Course Vision Plan which includes the implementation of at least one phase of the Vision Plan. The City Council previously directed KDI to seek funding for design and construction plans and specifications only. Due to the implementation requirement, City Council gave direction for staff to bring back an item for consideration of a resolution authorizing KDI to apply for the Grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
