Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
Daisy Gomez, City Clerk
General Motion To Waive Full Reading And Approve Ordinances By Title Only Pursuant To California Government Code Section 36934 MEETING DATE: March 09, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staffs 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.

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 Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: Consideration and Adoption of Perfunctory Second Reading of Ordinance No. 964, Codifying the Proposed Transactions and Use Tax Rate Increase, Subject to Voter Approval
MEETING DATE: March 9, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council, subject to adoption by the electorate, consider and adopt a perfunctory second reading of Ordinance No. 964 to increase the City of Bell Gardens' existing transactions and use tax rate from 3/4% to 1 %.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the February 23, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting, a public hearing was conducted, and by a vote of 5-0, the City Council declared a fiscal emergency and called for a June 2, 2026, Special Election to present Bell Gardens voters with a ballot measure ("Measure") to increase the City's existing transactions and use tax rate from 3/4%1 to 1%.

The City's existing 1% transactions use tax generates approximately $3.7 million in general fund revenues each year. An increase of the transactions and use tax rate to

1.25% will generate an additional $1.2 million annually.

The following ballot question has been proposed as the ballot question to present to Bell Gardens voters:

Keep Bell Gardens Sales Tax Revenues Local Measure
To protect and stabilize funding for Bell Gardens services like police/emergency response; maintenance/repair of streets, sidewalks and City facilities; park maintenance and
enhancements; youth/senior programs; Community Family
Service Center; and for any other general governmental
purpose, shall the City's current 3/4% transactions (sales) and use tax rate be increased by a quarter percent to 1% to raise an additional $1.2 million annually?
YES
NO
1 The City's existing transactions and use tax is codified under Chapter 3.22 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code.

Page 47 of 797 ends

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that a second reading be conducted, with the understanding that Ordinance No. 964 will only take effect if the Measure is approved by a simple majority of votes cast at the special election to be held on June 2, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of placing a ballot measure on the ballot for June 2, 2026, is approximately $150,000. This estimate is based on projected figures provided by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.

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, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Consideration of 1) a Resolution Approving the Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Grant Agreement; and 2) Consideration of a Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Citywide Classification and Compensation Plan for a Limited Term Grant Funded
Management Analyst Position
MEETING DATE: March 9, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1 Adopt Resolution No. 2026-25 to approve the Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Grant Award/Amendment Number CALHB0821-25 to accept grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
On December 10, 2025, the City received notice that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was awarding the City $2,300,000 from the Office of Lead Hazard Control and $400,000 from the Office of Healthy Homes Supplement for a total amount of $2,700,000 (collectively "Grant"), to implement the Lead Hazard Reduction Program ("Lead Reduction Program") and the Healthy Homes Grant Program ("Healthy Homes Program"). The Grant will be for 48 months, commencing as of March 15, 2026 through March 15, 2030.

The Grant was awarded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development which is authorized under Section 1011 of the Residential Lead -Based Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4852) to assist units of local governments in undertaking comprehensive programs to identify and control lead -based paint hazards in Page58of797

eligible privately -owned rental or owner -occupied housing units. In addition, Healthy Homes Supplemental funding is available to enhance the lead -based paint hazard control activities by comprehensively identifying and addressing other housing hazards that affect occupant health in homes being treated under the Lead Hazard Reduction grant.

The purpose of the Lead Reduction Program is to maximize the number of children under the age of six (6) protected from lead poisoning by undertaking comprehensive programs to identify and control lead -based paint hazards in eligible privately owned rental or owner -occupied housing units. Also, the Healthy Homes Program will enhance the lead - based paint hazard control activities by comprehensively identifying and addressing other housing hazards that affect occupants' health in homes being treated under the Lead Reduction Program. The goal of the Lead Reduction Program and the Healthy Homes Program is to reduce health and safety hazards in homes of families, particularly those with low incomes, and conduct public outreach on the health and safety of homes.

To administer the Lead Reduction Program and the Healthy Homes Program in-house, the City will need to identify a Project Director (Housing Manager), Program Manager (Management Analyst vacant) and Fiscal Officer (Finance Director and Finance Manager). The Project Director will need to commit 20% of his/her time to the Lead Reduction Program and the Healthy Homes Program and will be responsible for management level decision making related to grant policies, procedures, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, final approval of client eligibility and budget management. The Program Manager must commit 75% of his/her time to the Lead Reduction Program and the Healthy Homes Program and obtain lead abatement supervisor and lead inspector risk assessor certifications within 60 days of hire. A Program Manager may be approved conditionally, based on acquiring the certifications within 60 days and collaborating with a mentor that has the responsibility of reviewing and approving unit documents. In addition, the Program Manager would oversee and complete the onsite unit monitoring. The Program Manager would also need additional lead/asbestos and other hazard risk training as part of the Healthy Homes Program. The Fiscal Officer will be responsible for managing payments for subrecipients, draws from OLHCHH, payroll and generate financial grant reports.

The addition of a limited term grant funded Management Analyst position will be added to the Department of Community Development in order to assist in the administration of the programs as part of the City's obligation as the grant recipient and as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As such, the Human Resources Manager as designee of the City Manager, recommends that certain organizational and administrative updates to the Classification Plan be made, effective as of March 9, 2026, to allow for the additional temporary position. This position will be in effect while the grant funding remains available.

CONCLUSION
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolutions to accept the Grant funds and to authorize one limited term Grant funded management analyst position in the Community Development Department.

Page59of797

FISCAL IMPACT
The City is required to contribute 10% of the total grant award or $270,000 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. These funds are restricted reimbursable funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group for Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for the Veterans Park Refurbishment Project
DATE: March 9, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On February 17, 2026, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement for the Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for the Veterans Park Refurbishment Project (`the Project"). The scope of work includes the preparation of the plans, specifications, and estimate for the construction of the Project. As part of the design, a comprehensive land survey is a necessary step to collect site data and ensure design precision.

Pursuant to the California Labor Code Sections 1720 through 1861, land surveying work completed as part of a public works project is subject to prevailing wage requirements.

Therefore, a First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement is necessary to incorporate prevailing wage provisions and ensure that all field -related design and pre - construction surveying is performed in accordance with the labor standards set by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group to incorporate prevailing wage provisions in alignment with the California Labor Code.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

CONSULTANT and any subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the CITY, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the Agreement by the respective CONSULTANT or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation to the provisions of Article 3 of Chapter 1 of Part 7, Division 2 of the California Labor Code, which is incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

2. Pursuant to the provisions of California Labor Code, Sections 1770 et. seq., CONSULTANT and any subcontractor under CONSULTANT shall pay not less than the prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. Pursuant to the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1773.2, CONSULTANT is hereby advised that copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages and a general prevailing rate for holidays, Saturdays and Sundays and overtime work in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft, classification, or type of worker required to execute the Agreement, are on file at the Public Works Yard, which copies shall be made available to any interested party on request.

CONSULTANT shall post a copy of said prevailing rate of per diem wages at each job site.

B. As required by Section 1773.1 of the California Labor Code, CONSULTANT shall pay travel and subsistence payments to each worker needed to execute the Work, as such travel and subsistence payments are defined in the applicable collective bargaining agreements filed in accordance with this Section.

C. To establish such travel and subsistence payments, the representative of any craft, classification, or type of workman needed to execute the Agreement shall file with the Department of Industrial Relations fully executed copies of collective bargaining agreements for the particular craft, classification or type of work involved. Such agreements shall be filed within ten (10) days after their execution and thereafter shall establish such travel and payments.

D. CONSULTANT shall comply with the provisions of Section 1775 of the California Labor Code and shall, as a penalty to CITY, forfeit up to fifty dollars ($50) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to execute the Agreement.

Page 79 of 797 ends

for each calendar day or portion thereof for which a worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate. CONSULTANT is required to pay all applicable penalties and back wages in the event of violation of prevailing wage law, and CONSULTANT and any subcontractor shall fully comply with California Labor Code Section 1775, which is incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

E. CONSULTANT and any subcontractor shall maintain and make available for inspection payroll records as required by Labor Code Section 1776, which is incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

CONSULTANT shall also be subject to California Labor Code Section 1777.1.

G. In accordance with the provisions of Article 5, Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 (commencing with Section 1860), and Chapter 4, Part 1, Division 4 (commencing with Section 3700) of the California Labor Code, CONSULTANT is required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees and for that purpose obtain and keep in effect adequate Workers' Compensation Insurance and Employers Liability Insurance. If CONSULTANT, in the sole discretion of the CITY satisfies the CITY of the responsibility and capacity under the applicable Workers' Compensation Laws, if any, to act as self -insurer, CONSULTANT may so act, and in such case, the insurance required by this paragraph need not be provided.

CONSULTANT is advised of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code, which requires every employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code and shall comply with such provisions and have Employer's General Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident before commencing the performance of the Work of this Agreement.

A subcontractor is not allowed to commence the Work on the project until verification of Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage has been obtained and verified by CONSULTANT and submitted to the Public Work's Director for the CITY's review and records.

H. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1727 of the California Labor Code, the CITY, before making payment to CONSULTANT of money due under the Agreement for public work, shall withhold and retain therefrom all amounts required to satisfy any civil wage and penalty assessment issued by the Labor Commissioner, along with the terms of Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 of the California Labor Code (commencing with Section 1720). But no sum shall be withheld, retained or forfeited, except from the final payment, without a full investigation by either the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or by the CITY.

SECTION 2. Except as otherwise set forth in this First Amendment, the Master Agreement, shall remain binding, controlling, and in full force and effect. Section 6.19 of the Master Agreement notwithstanding, this First Amendment, together with the Master Agreement, shall constitute the entire, complete, final, and exclusive expression of the Parties with respect to the matters addressed in both documents.

SECTION 3. The provisions of this First Amendment shall be deemed a part of the Master Agreement, and except, as otherwise provided under this First Amendment, the Master Agreement, and all provisions contained therein shall remain binding and enforceable. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this First Amendment and the provisions of the Master Agreement, the provisions of this First Amendment shall control, but only in so far as such provisions conflict with the Master Agreement, and no further.

C.

Page 91 of 797 ends

3.4 PRIMACY OF CONSULTANT'S INSURANCE: All policies of insurance provided by CONSULTANT will be primary to any coverage available to CITY or CITY's elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by CITY or CITY's elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers will be in excess of CONSULTANT's insurance and will not contribute with it.

3.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement will not prohibit CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT's officers, employees, agents, subcontractors or subconsultants from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officials, officers, employees agents and volunteers.

3.6 VERIFICATION OF COVERAGE: CONSULTANT acknowledges, understands and agrees, that CITY's ability to verify the procurement and maintenance of the insurance required under this Article is critical to safeguarding CITY's financial well-being and, indirectly, the collective well-being of the residents of the CITY.

Accordingly, CONSULTANT warrants, represents and agrees that it will furnish CITY with original certificates of insurance and endorsements evidencing the coverage required under this Article on forms satisfactory to CITY in its sole and absolute discretion. The certificates of insurance and endorsements for each insurance policy will be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf, and will be on forms provided by the CITY if requested. All certificates of insurance and endorsements will be received and approved by CITY as a condition precedent to CONSULTANT's commencement of any Work. Upon CITY's written request, CONSULTANT will also provide CITY with certified copies of all required insurance policies and endorsements.

3.7 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN COVERAGE: In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

3.8 SPECIAL RISKS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. CITY reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

IV.

4.3 CITY shall have the right to offset against the amount of any compensation due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement, any amount due to CITY from CONSULTANT as a result of CONSULTANT's failure to either pay CITY promptly for any costs associated with CONSULTANT's obligations to indemnify the City Indemnitees under this Article, or related to CONSULTANT's failure to either (i) pay taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) comply with applicable workers' compensation laws.

4.4 The obligations of CONSULTANT under this Article will not be limited by the provisions of any workers' compensation act or similar act. CONSULTANT expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to CITY and CITY's elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach.
