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:Manuel Acosta, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Consideration of Ordinance No. 962, Amending Certain Sections of Title 6 (Buildings and Construction) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code to Adopt by Reference Los Angeles County Code Titles 26 through 31, Which Adopt by Reference and Amend the 2025 California Building Standards Code, and Adopting by Reference the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code as Published by the International Code Council
DATE:January 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council conduct a public hearing, receive testimony, waive full reading and introduce by title only Ordinance No. 962, amending certain sections of Title 6 (Buildings and Construction) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code, to adopt by reference Los Angeles County Code Title 26 (Building Code), Title 27 (Electrical Code), Title 28 (Plumbing Code), Title 29 (Mechanical Code), Title 30 (Residential Code), and Title 31 (Green Building Standards Code), which amend and adopt by reference the 2025 California Building Standards Code, and adopt by reference the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code as published by the International Code Council.

BACKGROUND:

The California Building Standards Code, codified under Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (“Title 24”), is updated every three (3) years to reflect changes in national model codes and standards because of advances in information and technology in the building and life safety industry. Multiple California state agencies review the most recently published national model codes and make amendments and additions thereto, which are then incorporated into Title 24. The new 2025 California Building Standards Codes were published on July 1, 2025 and went into effect on January 1, 2026.

On November 25, 2025, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted amended versions of the 2025 California Building Standards Code—including Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 11 of Title 24—by reference pursuant to California Government Code Section 50022.2. Under California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the County of Los Angeles made express findings that each amendment, addition, or deletion was necessary because of local climatic, topographical or geological conditions. Those

Page 10 of 490 ends

amendments, additions, or deletions to Title 24 are reflected in Los Angeles County Code Title 26 (Building Code), Title 27 (Electrical Code), Title 28 (Plumbing Code), Title 29 (Mechanical Code), Title 30 (Residential Code), and Title 31 (Green Building Standards Code).

California Health and Safety Code Section 17922 requires the City to adopt Title 24 and all amendments. Pursuant to Government Code Section 50020 et seq. and Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the City may adopt by reference, in whole or in part, including any amendments, any code adopted by the federal government, the state, a local agency, or a nationally recognized private organization or institution. This includes adopting a code that adopts by reference another code, such as the case here.

The City desires to adopt the Los Angeles County Code Titles listed above, which amend Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 11 of Title 24 because of local climatic, topographical or geological conditions within the County of Los Angeles. This requires updating the following Chapters under Bell Gardens Municipal Code (“BGMC”) Title 6 (Buildings and Construction): Chapter 6.04 (Building Code), Chapter 6.08 (Mechanical Code), Chapter

6.12 (Plumbing Code), Chapter 6.14 (Residential Code), Chapter 6.16 (Electrical Code), and Chapter 6.18 (Green Building Standards Code). The City also desires to adopt by reference the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code as published by the International Code Council, which would be included as Chapter 6.19 in the BGMC.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.3, after the first reading, the City Council must conduct a public hearing prior to adopting this Ordinance No. 962. Pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.6, copies of Los Angeles County Code Titles 26 through 31 and Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 11 of Title 24, together with all changes, additions, and deletions must be on file with the City Clerk for public inspection at least fifteen (15) days prior to the public hearing. Pursuant to Government Code Section 6066, notice for this public hearing for introduction will be published twice before the adoption of the proposed Ordinance. A Public Hearing Notice was published on December 25, 2025 for this Public Hearing. It should be noted for the record that the Los Angeles County Fire Code was inadvertently included in the public hearing notice and will not be adopted by reference.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that City Council hold a public hearing and waive full reading and introduce the proposed Ordinance. Notice for the Second Reading will be published in accordance with the Government Code.

FISCAL IMPACT:

State law requires a copy of the adopted codes with all amendments to be on file at City Hall. The approximate cost for these code sets is $1,700.00. This cost has been incorporated into the FY 25-26 Community Development Department budget. The account code used to appropriate this activity is 110-4332-1600.

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:January 12, 2026
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 City Council Members
FROM:Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY:Manuel Acosta, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Approving a First Amendment to the 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
MEETING DATE:January 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving a First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Bell Gardens and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to expand the scope of work to include a focused update to the City’s Land Use Element of the General Plan.

BACKGROUND:

On October 27, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-105 approving a Memorandum of Understanding (Master MOU between the City of Bell Gardens and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG)) for professional planning services funded through SCAG’s REAP Subregional Partnership 2.0 Grant Program.

The Master MOU authorized GCCOG to deliver consultant services, through MIG, Inc., for the preparation of multi-family and mixed-use development standards and design guidelines, as well as the codification of State Density Bonus law into the Bell Gardens Municipal Code.

The original project (Project) was intended to implement Housing Element programs related to the identification of adequate sites and the removal of governmental constraints to housing production. Under the Master MOU, GCCOG is responsible for administering the grant funds, managing the consultant contract, and processing payments, while the City is responsible for coordinating with GCCOG and overseeing Project progress.

Since approval of the Master MOU, the City was approved for additional funding to support a focused update to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element further advancing the City’s Housing Element implementation and long-range planning objectives. This

Page 100 of 490 ends

additional task would ensure consistency between the City’s updated development standards, zoning regulations, and General Plan land use policies, particularly as they relate to the City’s Housing Element, overall housing capacity, mixed-use development, and state housing law compliance.

The proposed First Amendment to the Master MOU would:

1. Expand the Scope of Work
Add a focused Land Use Element update to the City’s General Plan that evaluates existing land use designations, policies, and maps, and proposes targeted amendments to existing goals, policies, and programs found in the General Plan Land Use Element.

2. Update the Project Budget
Revise the total Project budget by an additional $167,932, increasing the total Project budget to $457,385. All costs associated with the amendment will continue to be funded through the SCAG REAP Subregional Partnership 2.0 Grant Program and administered by GCCOG.

All other terms and conditions of the Master MOU remain unchanged.

The amended scope of work, which includes the original and additional scope of work, will continue to directly support implementation of the City’s Housing Element by supporting:
•Goal 3: Identification of Adequate Sites, through land use policy updates that facilitate housing development.
•Goal 4: Removal of Governmental Constraints, by aligning land use policies with updated development standards and state housing law.

CONCLUSION:

Approval of the First Amendment to the Master MOU will allow the City to expand the scope of the Project to include a focused Land Use Element update, ensuring greater consistency across the City’s General Plan, zoning regulations, and housing policies.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution.

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. The total amended Project budget of $167,932 increasing the total Project budget to $457,385, will be funded and administered by the Gateway Cities Council of Governments through SCAG’s REAP Subregional Partnership 2.0 Grant Program.

AMENDED SCOPE OF WORK

Page 126 of 490 ends

2 TASK 2 : INITIAL RESEARCH SUMMARY MEMO
Task 2.1: Multi-Family Residential and Mixed-Use Development Standards 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

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 2.2 Land Use Element Document Review

The MIG team will review existing documents, policies, and programs relevant to development of the new Land Use Element. A review of existing documents and data will provide a solid foundation, guiding the development of policies that balance the needs of the community, environmental considerations, and economic realities. City staff and MIG will determine the list of documents to be reviewed during the project kickoff meeting, which may include:
• Adopted Circulation and Environmental Justice Elements • Adopted Housing Element
• Draft Strategic Plan materials
• Draft Transit Oriented Communities Specific Plan

Task 2.3: Base Mapping

MIG will collect and review available GIS data from the City, including existing land use, General Plan land use designations, zoning, existing housing units, jobs, and/or non-residential square footage per parcel, street centerlines, and County Assessor data. All information will be assumed to be accurate and up to date. MIG, in coordination with the City, will also define and format a base map for use throughout the Land Use Element update process. These base maps will include existing conditions information such as existing land use and zoning information. We will ensure all maps have a uniform style, legend, and title block.

At the culmination of the project, MIG will provide the City with the GIS maps and associated files developed during the process. City staff will be responsible for providing GIS data, coordinating on formatting and metadata protocols, and reviewing and providing feedback on the base maps.

Page 127 of 490 ends

3 Task 2.4: Existing Conditions Land Use and Urban Design Summary Memo

The MIG Team will conduct a high-level analysis of existing conditions, identifying key challenges and opportunities for the future. The Existing Conditions Summary Memo will provide an overview of the City’s residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and industrial business districts, examining land use patterns on the ground and currently in the General Plan. The MIG team will also describe the look, feel, and character of existing development and public spaces in Bell Gardens. This will include looking at building footprints (where built to parcel lines), building heights, street facing/sidewalk relationships, etc. The Memo will include associated maps and graphics that illustrate existing conditions and conclude with a summary of observations and considerations that will shape the land use and urban design policies in the Land Use Element.

2.5 Economic and Land Use Framework Memo
MIG will support the City of Bell Gardens’ Land Use Element update by preparing an Economic and Land Use Framework Memo that directly links land use decisions to fiscal stability, jobs, and long-term community outcomes. This report will support goals, policies, and guardrails used to evaluate land use alternatives. The analysis will provide a clear and defensible basis for the Land Use Element to explicitly address: (1) which land uses are fiscally and job-critical, and should therefore be protected or modernized; (2) where land use change is feasible in a fully built-out city, based on infrastructure capacity, fiscal impacts, and market realities; and (3) how Bell Gardens fits within the broader Southeast Los Angeles/Gateway Cities economic ecosystem.

MIG will conduct targeted research and light-touch analysis focused on the City’s key fiscal drivers and employment-supportive land uses, translating this work into a practical “protect/modernize/transition” framework applicable to priority corridors and districts. The memo will include discussion of: 1) an economic and fiscal context setting; 2) fiscal and jobs-critical land uses discussion; 3) where change might be most feasible in a built-out city; and 4) up to three peer city case studies and best practices summary, tailored to Bell Gardens’ demographics, corridor dynamics, regional goods-movement and workforce context. The summary memo will conclude with recommended goals and policies for the Land Use Element, and clear guardrails to guide land use exploration and alternatives testing presented as a concise checklist or set of principles the City can use to evaluate future proposals and alternatives.

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

Page 128 of 490 ends

4 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.

3. Outreach for the Land Use Element will be identified through the proposed outreach plan (subtask

3.6).

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.

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

Page 129 of 490 ends

5 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 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.

Page 130 of 490 ends

6 Task 3.6 Land Use Element Community Engagement Plan

Working with the City, MIG will develop a community engagement plan that builds on work completed as part of the Strategic Plan and Transit Oriented Communities projects, with a focus on identifying engagement activities that are most appropriate for the work effort and not duplicative of recent efforts.

3.7 Land Use Element Community Engagement Activities

MIG includes planners who are skilled facilitators and community engagement process designers. For this task, we have included an allowance to support two to four community engagement activities, which will be further outlined in the Community Engagement Plan (Task 3.6), and may include activities such as focus group meetings/stakeholder interviews with local businesses, community groups, and property owners, an online community questionnaire, pop-up events, and study sessions with decision makers.

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) » Land Use Element Community Engagement Activities and Materials

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.

Task 4 Deliverables
» None

Page 131 of 490 ends

7 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.

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 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 and Land Use Element General Plan amendment 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 and Land Use Element General Plan amendment 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

Page 133 of 490 ends

9 staff comments resolved. Because AB 2904 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 9: LAND USE ELEMENT

9.1 Administrative Draft Land Use Element

The MIG Team will prepare a new Land Use Element based on the technical analysis, input received from community engagement, and State legal requirements. The Land Use Element will include graphics and photo examples to illustrate land use districts and character, and a Land Use Map. This scope and budget assume no land use designation changes on the Land Use Map. MIG will identify new goals, policies, and implementation measures.

This scope and budget assume two rounds of review of the Administrative Draft Land Use Element, with all City comments consolidated and resolved using Word’s track changes feature.

9.2 Public Review Draft Land Use Element

MIG will incorporate City staff comments and prepare a public review draft Land Use Element for public review.

The community draft will include final formatting and will be highly graphic and easy to read. This version of the plan will include all images, figures, and diagrams necessary to fully articulate the land use and policy concepts included in the Element. This scope and budget assume one round of review of the Public Review Draft Land Use Element, with all City comments consolidated and resolved using Word’s track changes feature.

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. » This scope does not include SB 18 consultation/coordination with tribes. The City will be responsible for SB 18 consultation related to the General Plan Amendment.

Page 134 of 490 ends

10 » Project coordination and management for the Land Use Element budget assumes an 12-month schedule; additional budget will be requested for project coordination and management if the schedule extends. » If the City contact or project manager changes during the project and necessitates more than one hour of MIG staff time to reinitiate the project, this will be considered extra services. » If the MIG project manager changes during the project, MIG will provide a thorough briefing and update, limiting any additional time required by the City to reinitiate the project to one hour. » The City will provide current and available GIS data that is reasonably accurate for the purpose of completing the project. The MIG Team will not produce new GIS data for the existing General Plan and zoning. The City will provide parcel data with County Assessor information.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael O’Kelly, City Manager
BY: Hailes H. Soto, Assistant to the City Manager SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Approving Three Separate Fourth Amendments to the Professional Services Agreements between the City of Bell Gardens and LAN WAN Enterprise, Inc. for: 1) IT Services for the City; 2) IT Services for the Police Department; and 3) Voice Over Internet Protocol System Services
MEETING DATE:January 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute three separate Fourth Amendments to the Professional Services Agreements between the City of Bell Gardens and LAN WAN Enterprise, Inc. for: 1) IT Services for the City; 2) IT Services for the Police Department; and 3) Voice Over Internet Protocol System Services.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

Agreement for City IT Services:

On November 27, 2006, the City of Bell Gardens (“City”) and LAN WAN Enterprise, Inc. (“LAN WAN”) executed and entered into the Master Agreement for LAN WAN to provide the City with professional services relating to core network design, planning, installation and configuration for new and existing infrastructure and provide level network maintenance.

Agreement for Police Department IT Services:

On August 25, 2009, the City and LAN WAN executed and entered into the Master Agreement for LAN WAN to provide the City’s Police Department with professional services relating to maintenance of hardware, software, and applications related to the Police Department network.

Agreement for Voice Over Internet Protocol System Services:

Page 137 of 490 ends

On October 12, 2020, all 3 Master Agreements were revised by way of individual First Amendments to extend the Term of each of the 3 Agreements. On October 12, 2023, the Term of the 3 Master Agreements was extended for one (1) year by way of the Second Amendments. On October 12, 2024, the Term of the 3 Master Agreements was again extended for one (1) year by way of the Third Amendment.

Although the 3 Master Agreements expired on October 12, 2025, staff is proposing that the City Council approve 3 Fourth Amendments to the 3 Professional Services Agreements to extend the Term through June 30, 2026 to allow the City to issue a comprehensive Request for Proposals. Staff will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) in February 2026, review proposals in March 2026, and bring back a recommendation for City Council consideration in May/June 2026.

CONCLUSION:

IT services are crucial for the City. The 3 proposed Fourth Amendments to the Master Agreements will allow the City to issue a Request for Proposals without losing IT services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City Council appropriated sufficient funds to cover the costs IT and VoIP services when the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Budget was approved.
