RECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council approve the attached Resolution, approving a Letter Agreement with the Bell Gardens City Employees Association (BGCEA), the Bell Gardens Public Works Employees Association (BGPWEA), and the Bell Gardens Public Works Supervisors Association (BGPWSA) to close City Hall and other City facilities on Monday December 22, 2025, through Thursday December 25, 2025. Employees would be required to take approved leave time (i.e., vacation, compensatory) or unpaid time off for those hours not worked, for the dates of Monday, December 22, 2025; Tuesday, December 23, 2025; and Wednesday, December 24, 2025. Thursday, December 25, 2025, is observed as a City holiday, per the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the respective employee associations. The City will be open for business on Monday, December 29, 2025; Tuesday, December 30, 2025; and Wednesday, December 31, 2025.

CONCLUSION: If the Letter Agreements with BGCEA, BGPWEA, and BGPWSA are approved, then:

1. City Hall, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation offices will be closed from Monday, December 22, 2025, through
Thursday, December 25, 2025. However, BGPWEA and
BGPWSA employees working in certain Public Works
operations who are needed for operational continuity, BGCEA employees designated to work in the Police Department
Police Field Services, and BGCEA employees working in certain Recreation and Community capacities would work their
regular schedules.

2. BGCEA, BGPWEA, and BGPWSA members will use up to 30
hours of leave time during this period, and the City will reduce its accrued leave liabilities by approximately $95,000 in future leave payouts.

FISCAL IMPACT: For the three (3) days that employees will be off, they will use approximately 30 hours of their own leave time that will avoid future City leave accrual payouts of $95,000. There will also be additional cost savings by reduced energy use related to utilities and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
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 MEETING DATE:October 27, 2025
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.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY: Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services Andrew J. Tse, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Letter of Agreements with the Bell Gardens City Employees Association, the Bell Gardens Public Works Employees Association, and the Bell Gardens Public Works Supervisors Association for Closure of City Hall and Other City Facilities for the Holidays
DATE:October 27, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council approve the attached Resolution, approving a Letter Agreement with the Bell Gardens City Employees Association (BGCEA), the Bell Gardens Public Works Employees Association (BGPWEA), and the Bell Gardens Public Works Supervisors Association (BGPWSA) to close City Hall and other City facilities on Monday December 22, 2025, through Thursday December 25, 2025. Employees would be required to take approved leave time (i.e., vacation, compensatory) or unpaid time off for those hours not worked, for the dates of Monday, December 22, 2025; Tuesday, December 23, 2025; and Wednesday, December 24, 2025. Thursday, December 25, 2025, is observed as a City holiday, per the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the respective employee associations. The City will be open for business on Monday, December 29, 2025; Tuesday, December 30, 2025; and Wednesday, December 31, 2025.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Over the last six years, the City has entered into Letter of Agreements to close City Hall and other City Facilities during the Christmas holiday period.

Management engaged in discussions with the employee associations to consider the closing of City Hall and other City Facilities on Monday December 22, 2025, through Thursday December 25, 2025. The employee associations were amenable to this, and management agreed to present this to the City Council. The understanding is that Monday, December 22, 2025; Tuesday, December 23, 2025; and Wednesday, December 24, 2025, are not additional, approved holidays. Thursday, December 25, 2025, and Thursday, January 1, 2026, will be observed holidays.

While offices will be closed, employees will need to utilize their own personal leave time or unpaid time off for the following three (3) days – Day 1 – December 22nd, Day 2 – December

Page 62 of 352 ends

23rd, and Day 3 – December 24th. Upon assessing the impact on City services, both the City and the bargaining units have tentatively agreed, subject to City Council approval, that City Hall and other City facilities could close during this period.

The City will be open for business as usual on Monday, December 29, 2025, Tuesday, December 30, 2025, and Wednesday, December 31, 2025. The projected costs avoided in future leave payouts is $95,000. In addition, the City will also have savings on utility costs such as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) operating costs.

BGCEA employees designated to work in the Police Department Police Field Services would operate as usual. BGPWEA and BGPWSA employees working in certain operations who are needed for operational continuity would also operate on their typical schedules. City operated or maintained facilities would operate under the schedule on Exhibit 3.

CONCLUSION:

If the Letter Agreements with BGCEA, BGPWEA, and BGPWSA are approved, then:
a) City Hall, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation offices will be closed from Monday, December 22, 2025, through Thursday, December 25, 2025. However, BGPWEA and BGPWSA employees working in certain Public Works operations who are needed for operational continuity, BGCEA employees designated to work in the Police Department Police Field Services, and BGCEA employees working in certain Recreation and Community capacities would work their regular schedules. b) BGCEA, BGPWEA, and BGPWSA members will use up to 30 hours of leave time during this period, and the City will reduce its accrued leave liabilities by approximately $95,000 in future leave payouts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

For the three (3) days that employees will be off, they will use approximately 30 hours of their own leave time that will avoid future City leave accrual payouts of $95,000. There will also be additional cost savings by reduced energy use related to utilities and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning).

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY:Manuel Acosta, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Approving the Sustainable Communities Restricted Grant Agreement, Accepting Grant Funds from the California Department of Transportation Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program
DATE:October 27, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the Sustainable Communities Grants (State – SB 1) Restricted Grant Agreement, accepting grant funds from the California Department of Transportation Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program.

BACKGROUND:

The City has been awarded $250,000 from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to conduct the Charging Forward: Bell Gardens Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) Charging Infrastructure Plan (Project). This Project was awarded through the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program under the Sustainable Communities category. The Project will develop a detailed plan for the installation of zero-emission vehicle charging stations within the City. The plan will identify potential funding opportunities, recommend optimal locations, and provide strategies for future infrastructure expansion. This foundational analysis will guide the City’s long-term electric vehicle infrastructure planning and may strengthen future applications for additional grant funding to support the physical installation of charging infrastructure.

The Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program supports statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction policies, such as Assembly Bill 398, which aims to reduce GHG emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Additionally, through Senate Bill 1, Caltrans has allocated $84 million to support projects that address climate vulnerability, resilience, green infrastructure planning, technical studies, and community assistance initiatives.

Page 74 of 352 ends

CONCLUSION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the Sustainable Communities Grants (State – SB 1) Restricted Grant Agreement to accept the $250,000 grant award for the California Department of Transportation Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City is required to contribute $32,390 as a local match, which will be paid for in staff time rather than a direct cash payment from the General Fund. Therefore, no budget appropriation is necessary.

ELECTRONICALLY APPROVED BY:

Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
Executive Summary
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY:Manuel Acosta, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Memorandum of Understanding By and Between the City of Bell Gardens and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments for Services Provided as Part of the Southern California Association of Governments’ Regional Early Action Planning Subregional Partnership 2.0 Grant Program
DATE:October 27, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Bell Gardens and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for service provided as part of the Southern California Association of Governments’ Regional Early Action Planning Subregional Partnership 2.0 Grant program.

BACKGROUND:

The Southern California Association of Governments (GCCOG) has allocated a total of $289,453 for the development of multi-family and mixed-use development standards and design guidelines, and codification of density bonus standards (Project). The Project is funded via the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) Subregional Partnership 2.0 Grant program.

The GCCOG will deliver services directly to the City through the consultant MIG, Inc., a qualified urban planning firm. The GCCOG has conducted the solicitation of the consultant that will prepare the guidelines for the City. The GCCOG will maintain, monitor, and distribute payment of all grant funds associated with the Project. The City of Bell Gardens will be responsible for monitoring the progress of Project, but will not manage grant funds directly.

The Project involves the development of multi-family and mixed-use zone development standards and design guidelines. Currently, the City has not adopted development standards for its R-4 and Mixed-Use zones. In addition, the City will also update development standards for all multi-family zones. The development standards will be

Page 96 of 352 ends

accompanied by design guidelines that visually illustrate the physical concept of the required development standards. Lastly, density bonus development standards will be codified into the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC) in compliance with State Density Bonus law.

Overall, the Project aims to implement policies and programs found within the City’s Housing Element. The policies aim to streamline the development of housing through the modification and improvement of standards and application procedures. Policies include:

Goal 3: Identification of Adequate Sites
Program 10: Density Bonus Ordinance
This program is satisfied by the codification of State Density Bonus Law into the BGMC, and continuous update of the code section as modifications occur to state law.

Goal 4: Removal of Governmental Constraints
Program 13: Development Standards
This program is satisfied by the introduction of development standards and design guidelines for multi-family and mixed-use zones, some of which currently do not have established standards.

Lastly, the SCAG REAP 2.0 grant program attempts to provide funding to support local efforts that accelerate housing production and thus implement Housing Element programs. The program is intended to help jurisdictions with various efforts related to housing, transportation, and climate change, such as updating local plans and development standards to facilitate housing opportunities and compliance with State housing laws.

CONCLUSION:

It is Staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an MOU with the GCCOG for services to develop multi-family and mixed-use zone development standards and design guidelines, and density bonus standards.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

Funding for the Project is allocated and managed by the GCCOG through funds awarded to the agency through SCAG’s REAP 2.0 grant program.

SCOPE OF WORK

Page 105 of 352 ends

TASK 1 : PROJECT KICK- OFF, COORDINATION, AND MANAGEMENT Task 1.1: Project Initiation
The project will commence with a one-hour kick-off meeting after contract execution. The kick-off meeting will focus on initiating the project; confirming the project approach; identifying issues, challenges, opportunities, and desired outcomes; refining the project schedule, if needed; and determining communication protocols. The kick-off meeting will be followed the same day by a two-hour tour of sites zoned R-3 and Mixed-Use, attended by two MIG staff and City staff. If the kick-off meeting and tour do not fall on the same day, the kick-off meeting will be conducted via teleconference.

Otherwise, both the kick-off meeting and tour will be in person.

MIG will prepare an agenda for the kick-off meeting and summary with timelines moving forward, based on the discussion. The City will coordinate the site tour, including transportation, destinations, and City staff participation.

Task 1.2: Project Management and Coordination
The purpose of this task is to assure project management meets City expectations and keeps the program moving forward, including contract administration, invoicing, scheduling, and timely product delivery. MIG will lead a biweekly coordination phone call/video conference with the City’s project manager to monitor and review project progress and results. Meetings will be up to one hour in length.

MIG will prepare monthly invoices for staff review and approval. Adjustments to the overall project schedule or requests for reallocation of costs between tasks, as needed, will occur as part of this monthly process. Quarterly, one MIG staff will spend one hour reviewing the City-prepared baseline and outcome metrics for the six identified SCAG metrics. MIG will provide relevant comments and feedback to the City on the reporting as needed.

Task 1 Deliverables
» Kick-off meeting agenda and summary (electronic)
» Monthly invoices (electronic)

TASK 2 : INITIAL RESEARCH SUMMARY MEMO
MIG will review Title 9 (Zoning and Planning Regulations) to identify standards and sections that may need revision based on Housing Element Programs to meet the RHNA. MIG will also review applicable City policy documents such as the General Plan, Housing Element, recently proposed project applications, and any existing design guidelines to understand the local context and existing policy direction. MIG and VTA will prepare a memorandum summarizing considerations for revisions including:
» Residential and mixed-use development standards that appear to be barriers to housing construction or are unclear
» The neighborhood context (including photos gathered on the site tour) and typology to include prevailing conditions related to setbacks, height, lot coverage, building size, and on-site parking, and key characteristics to consider
» City progress in meeting the RHNA and whether completed/potential rezonings meet Housing Element requirements
» Potential development capacity in anticipation of the 7th Cycle Housing Element update

Page 106 of 352 ends

The project budget assumes one round of City staff review for the Initial Research Summary Memo, with all staff comments consolidated and resolved by staff using Microsoft Word’s track changes feature.

Task 2 Deliverable
» Initial Research Summary Memo (electronic)

TASK 3: OUTREACH STRATEGY
This project is intended to establish new development standards for multi-family and mixed-use developments and streamline development processes. As such, hearing from residents and decision-makers will be critical to defining the City’s design expectations and relates directly to how those expectations will be codified. The RFP indicated a desire for three community workshops to receive input. In our work preparing objective design standards, we have found that very few people participate in stand-alone workshops related to zoning codes and design standards because the work is so technical. However, we understand the importance of community buy-in and support in this effort. The public can be encouraged to participate if doing so is easy and the objectives are well explained.

Thus, we have crafted the following engagement program as a three-pronged approach:

1. Acquire detailed input from the Bell Gardens design/ development community with focus group interviews (see subtask 3.1).

2. Through an online visual preference survey, engage residents early in the process to establish what characteristics are uniquely Bell Gardens and what building design elements and housing types are desirable/undesirable (see subtask 3.2). The reach of the visual preference survey will be extended through two pop-up community engagement activities. Once the technical work begins, we propose using Planning Commission study sessions as opportunities for public feedback.

3. Collaborate with the Planning Commission throughout the duration of the project. MIG will conduct two in- person study sessions with the Planning Commission to receive community and Commission input on constraints, options, and draft Zoning Ordinance amendments (see subtask 3.4 and 3.5). As noted above, these will serve as additional opportunities to actively engage community members, allowing them to share ideas with policy-makers.

Task 3.1: Focus Group Interviews
MIG will initiate the engagement process with a series of focus group interviews. The goal is to better understand existing concerns or pinch points in the current development or approval processes from those who regularly use the Bell Gardens Zoning Ordinance and who build housing and mixed-use products in the area. This will help MIG craft development standards and recommend refinements to current processes that work to support the housing types Bell Gardens wishes to attract.

Interviews will be facilitated in groups, one-on-one, or a combination of the two depending upon the audience. We recommend meeting with developers and architects who frequently work in Bell Gardens and surrounding cities.

Other target groups could include local housing advocacy groups, local builders or contractors, property owners, City planning staff, City Council members, etc. MIG will consult with City staff and rely on their direction regarding which additional groups to engage. This work scope assumes up to eight, approximately 45-minute, individual and/or group interviews to be attended/conducted by two members of the MIG Team via teleconference over the course of one week. MIG will prepare questions in advance and a summary memo following the interviews, identifying key takeaways.

Page 107 of 352 ends

The summary memo will consolidate comments to keep them anonymous. City staff will be responsible for initial invitation emails to participants; MIG will schedule meetings with interested parties. The project budget assumes one round of City staff review of the summary memo, with all staff comments consolidated and resolved by staff using Microsoft Word’s track changes feature.

Task 3.2: Community Questionnaire
When crafting new mixed-use and residential development standards, we have been successful receiving public input via online questionnaires. This work program includes an online instrument designed to identify key design elements most important to Bell Gardens residents. The questionnaire will be available early in the work program to allow our team to understand community sensibilities. We will use non-technical terms and images to understand what residents believe distinguishes their neighborhoods and which design features are most important to them. MIG will prepare and host a short, 10-minute online questionnaire that will also be redesigned as a paper version. Our work scope assumes up to 150 individuals responding to the questionnaire. We will ask that City staff advertise the questionnaire on its website and via other means generally used to inform residents about important community initiatives. City staff will also print and distribute any paper copies. Respondents should be given the opportunity to express both satisfaction and dissatisfaction with recent developments. Respondents should be asked what they hope to see and what they would not like to see. Community input will be summarized in a PowerPoint format for use in Task 3.4 (see below).

The project budget assumes one round of City staff review of the online questionnaire materials, with all staff comments consolidated and internal staff comments resolved.

Task 3.3: Pop-Ups
Task 3.3A: MIG will design and produce up to four display boards (in English and Spanish) featuring key questionnaire questions (associated with Task 3.2) to gather feedback from the Bell Gardens community at two interactive “pop-up events.” These events will be staffed by City staff and take place at community festivals or other high-traffic locations. Findings of the community questionnaire and related popup engagement will be summarized in a PowerPoint format for use in Task 3.4 (see below).

Task 3.3B (OPTIONAL): As an optional item, up to two members of the MIG Team will attend the two pop-up events to solicit community input.

Task 3.4: Planning Commission Study Session #1: Constraints and Options The first study session will occur as the design options and development recommendations are being formulated.

The purpose of this session will be to:
» Introduce the project to Commissioners
» Relay what we have heard thus far in the engagement activities (i.e., focus group interviews and community questionnaire)
» Discuss key takeaways from the initial research analysis » Outline the basic elements of site and building design » Highlight current constraints to multi-family and mixed-use development, propose options, and facilitate a discussion/direction on design concepts

This work scope assumes that two MIG staff will attend the study session in person. MIG will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and staff report. City staff will be responsible for meeting logistics, including preparing all/any public

Page 108 of 352 ends

notice materials, flyers, or other materials necessary to advertise the event. The project budget assumes one round of City staff review of the PowerPoint presentation and staff report, with all staff comments consolidated and internal staff comments resolved.

Task 3.5: Planning Commission Study Session #2: Approach to Zoning Standards The second study session will occur after the MIG Team has completed the design options analysis (see Task 4).

The purpose of this session will be to review potential options for implementation with the Planning Commission and receive direction on recommended approaches. This will be the final opportunity for engagement with the Planning Commission and the public until the Public Draft ordinance amendments are released and presented at public hearings (see Task 8).

This work scope assumes that two MIG staff will attend Planning Commission Study Session #2 in person. MIG will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and staff report. City staff will be responsible for meeting logistics including preparing all/any public notice materials, flyers, or other materials necessary to advertise the event. The project budget assumes one round of City staff review of the PowerPoint presentation and staff report, with all staff comments consolidated and internal staff comments resolved.

Task 3 Deliverables
» Focus group interview questions and summary memo (electronic) » Community questionnaire (electronic and print-ready)
» Planning Commission Study Session PowerPoint presentations and staff reports (electronic) (x2)

TASK 4 : OPTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
Building on insight gathered in the focus group interviews (see subtask 3.1) and the community questionnaire (see subtask 3.2), MIG will identify options for decision-maker input. This task will guide the content and questions for Planning Commission Study Session #2 (see subtask 3.5), including, but not limited to the following:
» Height limitations/projections
» Parking area design standards
» Common and private open space standards
» Landscaping requirements
» Building design
» Site design
» Administrative processes and procedures

The findings from this effort will be incorporated into the Planning Commission study session PowerPoint presentation. Design options and recommendations to encourage multi-family and mixed-use development in Bell Gardens will be tailored to meet the project objectives.

MIG will prepare a series of options for the Planning Commission to consider and provide direction on up to six key topics, with suggested standards and preliminary graphics to explain concepts as needed. The project budget does not assume any City staff rounds of review for Task 4 deliverable(s) since review will occur as part of the PowerPoint presentation review addressed in Task 3.5.

Page 109 of 352 ends

Task 4 Deliverables
» None

TASK 5: MAP AMENDMENTS
Based on the outcomes of analysis in Task 2, if additional Zoning Map or General Plan Land Use Map Amendments are required to meet Housing Element requirements, MIG will prepare an updated Zoning Map and, as needed, General Plan Land Use Map.

The City will provide GIS shapefiles, including existing zoning, General Plan, and parcel information. MIG will first create one map with only the rezone sites, indicating the old zoning and the new proposed zoning districts. City staff will provide all comments to the MIG Team with all comments consolidated into a single document. After one round of review from City staff, MIG will revise and add the rezone sites to the Zoning Map for an updated proposed Zoning Map. Following adoption, we will provide a Final Zoning Map. As needed, a General Plan Land Use Map will follow the same process.

The City will be responsible for all public hearing noticing and notifying property owners regarding potential changes.

Task 5 Deliverables
» Draft Zoning Map – Rezone sites only (electronic)
» Draft Zoning Map and Draft General Plan Map (all parcels) (electronic) » Final Zoning Map and Final General Plan Map (electronic)

TASK 6: OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS AND ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this task is to prepare the draft zoning text amendments (and if necessary General Plan map amendments) for public hearings. VTA will advise the City and the MIG Team on Housing Element requirements and recent changes in State laws and/or interpretations that may affect zoning standards and will review proposed development and design standards to address HCD concerns on constraints.

The project budget assumes two rounds of City staff review of the draft amendments/deliverables. For each round, City staff will provide all comments to the MIG Team using the track changes function in Microsoft Word with all comments consolidated and resolved into a single document.

Task 6.1: Administrative Draft Ordinance Amendments
Informed by Planning Commission and community feedback (Tasks 3.1 through 3.5), MIG will draft ordinance language to make the necessary updates to the Bell Gardens Zoning Ordinance (Title 9, Zoning and Planning Regulations). The effort will also implement recommendations from Task 2 regarding the recommended approach to meet Housing Element obligations. For example, the rezone and reuse sites in the Housing Element are required to allow a density of 20 (minimum) to 30 (maximum) units per acre, and if proposing at least 20 percent affordable units, are then to be processed administratively. We will identify the best approach to incorporate this into Bell Garden’s Zoning Ordinance. In addition, we will provide an updated Density Bonus Ordinance in compliance with State law.

The draft ordinance language will be formatted per the City’s existing municipal code and will include graphics as necessary to provide clarity. Draft ordinances will include all sections requiring update, repeal, or replacement.

Page 110 of 352 ends

Task 6.2: Public Draft Ordinance Amendments
MIG will prepare the second draft (Public Draft) for review by the Planning Commission at a public hearing (see subtask 8.1).

Task 6.3: Objective Design Standards – Administrative Draft MIG will prepare a graphically rich objective design standards document, anticipated to be adopted by Resolution, which outlines site design, building design, and architectural features.

Task 6.4: Objective Design Standards – Public Review Draft MIG will prepare the second draft (Public Draft) for review by the Planning Commission at a public hearing (see subtask 8.1).

Task 6 Deliverables
» Administrative Draft Ordinance Amendments (electronic) » Public Draft Ordinance Amendments (electronic)
» Administrative Draft Objective Design Standards (electronic) » Public Draft Objective Design Standards (electronic)

TASK 7: CEQA (OPTIONAL/AS NEEDED - ALLOWANCE)
Recent CEQA reforms (via AB 130 and SB 131) may result in parts or all this project qualifying as a CEQA-exempt project. Thus, until more information is available regarding the ultimate scope of Zoning Map and General Plan Map Amendments, the level of CEQA analysis required is unknown. MIG will work with the Planning staff and the City Attorney to discuss options for CEQA clearance for the map and ordinance amendments.

In concert with the Task 2 initial research summary memo, we will outline options for CEQA compliance for the ordinances, including assessment of risks, costs, and timelines. Once the draft ordinances have been completed, we will be able to make the appropriate
CEQA path recommendation and be able to provide cost estimates at that time. An additional subconsultant would be necessary for a focused traffic analysis associated with any General Plan Amendment.

TASK 8 : PUBLIC HEARINGS
Task 8.1 Planning Commission Hearing
One MIG staff member will attend one hearing to present the zoning amendments to the Planning Commission.

MIG will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and staff report, as well as the Planning Commission resolution and Draft Ordinance. The project budget assumes one round of City staff review on all materials, with all staff comments consolidated and internal staff comments resolved. Because this amendment affects the permitted uses of real property, AB 2904 requires a 20-day notification period.

Task 8.2 City Council Hearing
One MIG staff member will attend one hearing to present the zoning amendments to the City Council. MIG will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and staff report, which will be based on the Planning Commission materials and include the Planning Commission’s recommendations. The project budget assumes one round of City staff review on all materials, with all staff comments consolidated and internal staff comments resolved. Because AB 2904

Page 111 of 352 ends

pertains to Planning Commission hearings, the law is unclear with regard to the adoption hearing. Many City Attorneys recommend a 20-day notification period for the City Council hearing as well.

Task 8 Deliverables
» Planning Commission PowerPoint (electronic)
» Planning Commission staff report (electronic)
» City Council PowerPoint (electronic)
» City Council staff report (electronic)
Assumptions
Our scope and budget assume the following:
» Schedule. The project is estimated be completed by June 30, 2026. We understand that the REAP funding has been extended by six months as associated with the adopted July State budget. The project schedule may be modified, if additional time is needed to accommodate tasks, within the additional six-month time period. » City Staff/Consultant Meetings. Meetings with City staff will occur via video conference, except for the kick- off/tour meeting.
» Comments on Drafts. All City staff comments on draft deliverables will be provided to the MIG Team in a single document using Word’s track changes feature, or if in PDF, Adobe’s comment/strikethrough features. All internal City discussions will be resolved in those comments and changes to provide clear direction to the MIG Team. » Venues. City staff will be responsible for securing any venues required for regularly scheduled public meetings.

Stakeholder meetings will be conducted via teleconference.

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: Paul Camacho, Chief of Police
Mitchell Carrillo, Lieutenant
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Agreement 26-OTS102 with the State of California – Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
MEETING DATE:October 27, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution accepting funds and entering into Agreement No. 26-OTS102 with the State of California – Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Grant Program for educational outreach and enforcement operations.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

The Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) offers local law enforcement agencies the chance to apply for grant funding through its ABC-Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant Program.

Funding comes from OTS via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This grant program provides yearly funding to local police departments to help develop a strong, comprehensive, and strategic approach to reduce underage drinking and tackle public nuisance issues related to problem alcohol beverage outlets.

Under this grant program, the Bell Gardens Police Department (BGPD) was awarded $28,000 to conduct educational outreach and enforcement operations. BGPD has identified the need to focus enforcement efforts on licensed establishments that contribute to alcohol-related crimes. Additionally, BGPD will establish a records management system to ensure police reports are properly and consistently forwarded to ABC district offices, as required by law. Most importantly, BGPD will provide training for its officers, licensees, and their employees at ABC-licensed establishments.

Through the training and enforcement activities supported by this grant program, the Police Department aims to lower underage drinking in the community and increase public awareness that selling, serving, or providing alcoholic beverages to individuals under twenty-one years old is a criminal offense.

Page 114 of 352 ends

CONCLUSION:

If adopted, BGPD will receive funding to support crime prevention and enforcement activities related to young adult alcohol consumption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a reimbursable grant that, upon adoption of the attached Resolution and approval of Grant Agreement No. 26-OTS102, will be allocated for the Police Department to cover overtime costs for education and enforcement operations.

APPROVALS:

Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
Stephanie Vasquez, City Attorney
Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXCUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY: Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities Douglas Benash, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing the Installation of Green Curb Parking Restrictions Fronting 8209 Eastern Avenue and Disabled Person Parking Space Fronting 8045 Felix Avenue MEETING DATE:October 27, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council:

1. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the installation of 22 feet of green curb “20-minute” parking restrictions fronting 8209 Eastern Avenue and 15 feet of blue curb “disabled person parking” fronting 8045 Felix Avenue; and

2. Rescind Resolution No. 2025-79.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

On October 7, 2025, the Traffic and Safety Commission approved for the City Council’s consideration the installation of green curb parking restrictions fronting 8209 Eastern Avenue and the installation of blue curb parking restrictions fronting 8045 Felix Avenue.

Green Curb Fronting 8209 Eastern Avenue
On August 25, 2025, El Pollito Bakery requested a green curb fronting their business at 8209 Eastern Avenue. The City Traffic Engineer made telephone contact with the owner and discussed the installation of a 20-minute green curb to help accommodate the parking demand for the El Pollito Bakery customers.

After a review of the field conditions, the City Traffic Engineer completed a site investigation of the location to confirm existing conditions of the site, and recommended (1) the installation of 22 feet of green curb parking restrictions; (2) the installation of a modified R32F 20-minute parking sign on a post; and (3) stenciling of “20 min” on top of the green curb, as shown in Figure 1.

Page 128 of 352 ends

Figure 1 - 22 Feet of Green Curb in Front of 8209 Eastern Avenue Blue Curb Fronting 8045 Felix Avenue
On July 31, 2025, Public Works staff received a request to install a disabled person parking space from the resident of 8045 Felix Avenue. The applicant provided a doctor’s statement that they cannot walk beyond 50 feet without assistance. The City Traffic Engineer investigated the site and recommended denying the request, concluding the location does not qualify because the residence already has off-street parking available to park a vehicle. The property at 8045 Felix Avenue shows an existing driveway with an approximate driveway width of 8.18 feet.

During its October 7, 2025 meeting, the Traffic and Safety Commission discussed the item and approved the installation of 22 feet of blue curb for the City Council’s consideration due to the deteriorating conditions of the private driveway. These restrictions are illustrated below:

Figure 2 – 22 Feet of Blue Curb of 8045 Felix Avenue Page 129 of 352

CONCLUSION:

If the City Council adopts the attached resolution, Public Works will proceed with the installation of green curb parking restrictions fronting 8209 Eastern Avenue and blue curb parking restrictions fronting 8045 Felix Avenue.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for the installation of all parking restrictions, including signage, is $600 and is available in the current Street Maintenance Budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving Measure R Funding Agreement #9200000000MR30665 (“Funding Agreement”) between City of Bell Gardens and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the Clara Street Corridor Intersection Improvements Project.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("LACMTA”) is the lead agency for the I-710 Corridor Project, which is intended to improve the I-710 freeway's traffic flow, air quality, and public health. Metro recognized the need for immediate investment in the corridor by prioritizing local interchange and arterial road upgrades that operate in the I-710 corridor area, until funds for larger corridor improvements become available. These priority projects known as “Early Action” projects are consistent with the I-710 South Corridor project alternatives and can be advanced for earlier delivery.

On January 25, 2024, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority board programmed $3,716,000 in FY22/23 Measure R funds for the Clara Street Corridor Intersection Improvements Project (the “Project”), which consists of improvements at several key intersections along Clara Street as follows:
•Intersection of Clara Street and Eastern Avenue:

Restriping for dedicated right turn lanes; reducing sidewalk width for dedicated left, through, and right turn lanes; signal and roadway improvements for left turn phasing.
•Intersection of Clara Street and Jaboneria Road:

Restriping for dedicated left, through, and right lanes; changing signal operations to normal versus split phase.

Page 161 of 352 ends

•Intersection of Clara Street and Garfield Avenue:

Constructing an island for increased turn radius, requiring right-of-way acquisition at one corner.
•Intersection of Clara Street/Scout Street and Florence Avenue:

Narrowing sidewalks for dedicated left, through, and right turn lanes; restriping existing lanes.

The implementation schedule for this project will be as follows.
