BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION — Continued
Resolution No. 22-19 seeks reimbursement of the City's abatement -related costs IN
of $33,440.14 by authorizing recording a nuisance abatement lien against the Property.

Unlike a special tax assessment for recovery of such costs, which is due immediately with property tax payments, a nuisance abatement lien remains an encumbrance on the Property to be paid when there is a title change recorded with the Property, such as it being sold or refinanced.

C. On September 13, 2019, the City declared the Property to be a public nuisance in violation of Chapter 8.40 of the Bellflower Municipal Code. The City later abated the nuisance pursuant to a Notice of Public Nuisance and Intent to Abate ("Notice of Public Nuisance"); the Notice of Public Nuisance was mailed to the property owner at the time, Mr. Salem Galal Namatalla; D. The City incurred costs abating the public nuisance. An itemized statement U1 costs for work performed by the City totaling $33,440.14 was provided to the property owner on December 10, 2021, ("Statement"). The property owner did not file a written request to contest the City's abatement costs.

E. The Statement provided that if the costs were not paid prior to January 4, 2022, said charges may be collected as a special assessment or nuisance abatement lien. The time period for appealing the Statement expired; and IF. Pursuant to Government Code § 38773.5 and Bellflower Municipal Code § 8.36.200, the City may make costs related to abatement of nuisances a lien against a parcel.

SECTI®N 2. Approval. The City Council approves, confirms and adopts the Statement attached as Exhibit ``A," and incorporated by reference, and determines that each such charge is proper and correct. Such charges constitute a lien on the real property upon which the public.nuisance was abated and will be collected as a lien against the real property.

Re: 9021 Somerset Blvd. —Demand and Notice of Collection of Abatement Costs by Special Assessment
Dear Ms. Megahed:

This office serves as the City Attorney for the City of Bellflower ("City"), and I as its Assistant City Attorney. I am writing here with a demand for payment of the full cost of its abatement efforts to bring your vacant lot located at 9021 Somerset Blvd. ("Propert)") into compliance with the vacant -lot requirements of Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") Chapter

8.40,1 and notie of the City's determination of collection by special assessment if said payment is not made as stated herein.

We spoke on December 3, 2021, and you explained how your husband and owner of thU property (Salem Ga1a1 Namatalla) passed away earlier this year after a prolonged cancer diagnosis.. I am song for your loss. It is also my understanding you discovered the notices the City sent to your husband after his passing. I do appreciate your representations that the circumstances of his diagnoses were the reason for the lack of responses to the City's attempts at voluntary compliance.

As you have become aware, City made numerous attempts to contact your husband, including on the following occasions:
• June 21, 2019 ,—Notice of New Registration and Maintenance Requirements of Vacant Properties pursuant to BMC § 8.40.030(F) (Ordinance 1375).

• September 13, 2019 =Notice of Violation %J BMC Chapter 8.40 (Ordinance 1375). • October 29, 2019 —Notice of Violation of BMC Chapter 8.40 (Ordinance 1375). • February 19, 2020 - Notice of Public Nuisance and Intent to Abate with City Personnel (BMC Chapter 8.40).
• November 11, 2020 — Final Notice of Public Nuisance and Intent to Abate with City Personnel (BMC Chapter 8.40).

After being unable to obtain voluntary compliance, on May 25, 2021, the City obtained an abatement warrant from the Honorable Deborah L. Sanchez, Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court for the use of City personnel to abate your Property. Between the dates of 25 — June.23, 2021, the City engaged in abating your Property pursuant to the abatement warrant. As a result, I am required to provide the following advisals.

Please be advised that pursuant to BMC Chapter 8.36, the City is entitled to recover its abatement related costs from the owner of the property. The City has determined abatement costs up to the present total $33,440.14. An accounting of these costs are attached hereto as Exhibit A. This amount is subject to increase until final payment is made as further costs accumulate to collect these outstanding abatement costs.

Please be further advised that you have until January 4, 2022, to remit to the City the total sum of $33,440.14 in abatement related costs in order to avoid the City seeling and imposing a special assessment lien on your property. You should also be mindful that City Hall will be closed Dec. 104) 22-27, and 30-31, 2021.

Please be further advised that pursuant to BMC § 8.36.190(A), "[t]he City may cause a sFecial assessment to be made upon real property upon which a public nuisance was abated pursuant to Government Code Section 38773.5 in the event a statement of abatement costs or a confirmed statement of abatement costs is not paid in a timely manner." Please be further advised pursuant to BMC § 8.36.190(B), I am required to provide you with the following advisal: .

The property may be sold aft
er three years by the tax collector for unpaid
delinquent assessments. The tax collector's power of sale shall not be affected by the failure of the property owner to receive notice. The assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to the special assessment. However, if any real property to which the cost of abatement relates has been transferred or conveyed to a bona, fide

purchaser for value, or if alien of a bona fide encumbrance for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of the taxes would become delinquent, then the cost of abatement shall not result in a lien against the real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.

Please be further advised of the following pursuant to BMC §§ 8.36.190:

C. The City Attorney or City Prosecutor shall establish the notice of special assessment form for use or consideration by the Tax Collector in collecting a special assessment.

D. The notice of special assessment sha11 be entitled to recordation with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office.

E. The amount of a special assessment shall also constitute a personal obligation of the property owners of land upon which the nuisance was abated.

Please be further advised that on January 24, 2022 at 7:00 p.m., a resolution wi11 be brought before the Bellflower City Council at its regularly scheduled council meeting to authorize a special assessment for the collection of all abatement costs pursuant to BMC §

8.36.190. You are free to attend this meeting and be heard by the City Council. This would be your opportunity to explain to the City Counsel how would you would like this matter resolved and why. Please consult the City's website at Bellflower.org for information on procedures for attending City Council meetings.

Please be further advised that to the payment in fu11 due date of January 4, 2022, you are free to present a counter-offer for a reduction in payment. While I cannot and am not providing you with legal advice, any such counter-offer should be in writing and include the amount you are willing to pay, the time frame in which you can pay it, and all the reasons the City should consider for reducing the amount to pay. Feel free, to include any supporting document. Any counter-offer should be sent to me via email and/or mail at my contact information in the letterhead above. Please note I will present any counter-offer to the City Manager for final determination, and am not making any representations as to any final determinations.

Please be further advised that the City brought your Property into substantial, but not full, compliance with BMC 8.40. There are certain landscape requirements that must sti11 be met.

Re: 9021 Somerset Blvd. —Renewed Notice of Collection of Abatement Costs by Recorded Lien on Property
Dear Ms. Megahed:

I am writing here with afollow-up to my prior Notice of December 10, 2021, for payment of $33,440.14 to the City of Bellflower ("City") for its public nuisance abatement - related costs to bring your vacant lot located at 9021 Somerset Blvd. ("Property") into compliance with Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") Chapter 8.40.1 A copy of that December 10, 2021 correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

On December 16, 2021, you provided acounter-offer to pay $9,000 in total satisfaction oI the of $33,440.14 due. That same day I responded via email and specifically stated:

The City is considering your counter-offer of $9000. As part of that consideration accepting Less than 1/3 of the City's cost in abating the property by takingoyour financial circumstances into consideration, we would like to review the last two years' tax returns for you and your late husband. That would be for the calendar year 2019 and 2020.

Again, and to be absolutely clear, this is part of the evaluation of your counter-offer. Itis not in itself any acceptance of any offer at this time.

I The Bellflower Municipal Code can be accessed online at http://gcode.us/codes bellflower. 818.333.5120 phone - 818.333.5121 fax

To avoid any confusion, I would like to reiterate that at no time did I, or anyone on behalf of the City, every agree to your counter-offer or. make any promises or representations that it would be accepted by the City Council. What I repeatedly explained in my December 10, 2021 Notice and in subsequent telephone calls and emails is that I would bring your case before the City Council for consideration.

On April 25, 2022, I presented your matter to the City Council in closed session, including what you've shared with me about your personal circumstances, your tax returns, your $9,000 counter-offer, other potential means of payment we discussed, and everything else relevant for consideration. Communications within this closed session meeting are confidential, but I can tell you that the City Council declined your counter-offer.

While the usual course of action is to record a special tax assessment against the property to be collected with bi-annual property tax payments, the City Council took your circumstances into account and instead authorized that a lien in the amount of $33,440.14 may be recorded against the property to satisfy the abatement -related costs. Unlike a special assessment, where the property can be forfeited after three years if not paid in full, the City will instead seek payment on the lien through proceeds related to the property being sold or refinanced. This means there will be no out-of-pocket cost to you or risk of properly forfeiture for repayment.

I am also aware that you appeared in person at City Hall -today and spoke with Supervisory Code Enforcement Inspector David Fawcett regarding this matter. It is my understanding that you referenced an updated counter-offer of $10,000. Based the direction I received from the City Council, this offer is also declined.

The City is cognizant this is not the result you were hoping for, but it is a concession most are not given. You will be provided an opportunity to. be heard by the City Council on this issue as indicated in the advisals below.

NOTICE OF RESOLUTION TO RECORD LIEN
Please be advised that pursuant to BMC Chapter 8.36, the City is entitled to recover its abatement -related costs from the owner of the property. The City has determined- abatement costs as of November 29, 2021 total X33,440.14. An accounting of these costs are attached hereto as Exhibit B. This amount is subject to increase until fi-nal payment is made as further costs have accumulated to collect these outstanding abatement costs since November 2021.

Please be further advised that BMC § 8.36.200(A) provides as follows:

Lien. Pursuant to Government Code Sections 38773, 38773.1, and38773.5, and any successor statutes, persons failing to abate a public nuisance as ordered _� 6_

pursuant to this Chapter, will be obligated to pay all City expenses of abating the nuisance and all administrative costs associated therewith. A nuisance abatement lien in favor of the City for such expenses of the City will be created and recorded, pursuant to this section, against the property on which the nuisance is maintained. The lien will specify the amount of the lien, the name of the City, the date of the abatement order, the street address, legal description and assessor's parcel number of the parcel on which the lien is imposed, and the name and address of the recorded owner of the parcel.

Please be further advised of the following pursuant to BMC §§ 8.36.200, subsequent to passage of a resolution authorizing the recording of a lien:

B. Notice of Proposed Recordings. Notice will be sent by certified mail at least 10 days before recording the lien, an itemized notice of the lien amount and proposed recording will be sent by certified mail to the property owner of record of the parcel of land on which the nuisance was abated by the City, based on the last equalized assessment roll or the supplemental roll, whichever is more current before recordation of the lien. The notice will be served in the same manner as a summons in a civil action in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure Section 415.10, et seq. If the owner of record, after diligent search, cannot be found, the notice may be served by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous place upon the property for a period of 10 days, and publication thereof in a newspaper of general circulation published in the County in which the property is located.

C. Recording. The City's nuisance abatement lien will then be recorded in the Los Angeles County Recorder's office, and from the date of recording, will have the force, effect, and priority of a judgment lien.

D. Special Assessment. The City's total costs described in this Chapter may also be collected as a special assessment against the Iot or parcel on which the nuisance existed as described in this Chapter.

E. Satisfaction. In the event that the Iien or special assessment is discharged, released, or satisfied, either through payment or foreclosure, a notice of the discharge containing the information specified in the lien will be recorded by the City.

F. Fees. Any fees incurred by the City for processing, recording of the lien and providing notice to the properly owner may be recovered by the City as part of its foreclosure action to enforce the lien.

Re: 9021 Somerset Blvd. —Demand and Notice of Collection of Abatement Costs by Special Assessment
Dear Ms. Megahed:

This office serves as the City Attorney for the City of Bellflower ("City"), and I as its Assistant City Attorney. I am writing here with a demand for payment of the full cost of its abatement efforts to bring your vacant lot located at 9021 Somerset Blvd. ("Property") into compliance with the vacant lot requirements of Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC') Chapter

8.40,1 and notie of the City's determination of collection by special assessment if said payment is not made as stated herein.

We spoke on December 3, 2021, and you explained how your husband and owner of the property (Salem Galal Namatalla) passed away earlier this year after a prolonged cancer diagnosis. I am soiTy for your loss. It is also my understanding you discovered the notices the City sent to your husband after his passing. I do appreciate your representations that the circumstances of his diagnoses were the reason for the Lack of responses to the City's attempts at voluntary compliance.

As you have become aware, City made numerous attempts to contact your husband, including on the following occasions:
• June 21, 2019 —Notice of New Registration and Maintenance Requirements of Vacant Properties pursuant to BMC § 8.40.030(F) (Ordinance 1375).

THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY POOLED SURPLUS INVESTMENTS
The Treasurer and Tax Collector (the Treasurer) of Los Angeles County has the delegated authority to invest funds on deposit in the County Treasury (Treasury Pool).

As of March 31, 2022, investments in the Treasury Pool were held for local agencies including school districts, community college districts, special districts and discretionary depositors such as cities and independent districts in the following amounts:

Invested Funds
Local Agency (in billions)
County of Los Angeles and Special Districts $18.697
Schools and Community Colleges 20.177
Discretionary Participants 4.309
Total $43.183
The Treasury Pool participation composition is as follows:

Non-discretionary Participants 90.02%
Discretionary Participants:

Independent Public Agencies 9.35%
County Bond Proceeds and Repayment Funds 0.63%
Total 100.00%
Decisions on the investment of funds in the Treasury Pool are made by the County Investment Officer in accordance with established policy, with certain transactions requiring the Treasurer's prior approval. In Los Angeles County, investment decisions are governed by Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 53600) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code, which governs legal investments by local agencies in the State of California, and by a more restrictive Investment Policy developed by the Treasurer and adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on an annual basis. The Investment Policy adopted on March 1, 2022, reaffirmed the following criteria and order of priority for selecting investments:

1. Safety of Principal

2. Liquidity

3. Return on Investment
The Treasurer prepares a monthly Report of Investments (the Investment Report) summarizing the status of the Treasury Pool, including the current market value of all investments. This report is submitted monthly to the Board of Supervisors. According to -11-

the Investment Report dated April 29, 2022, the March 31, 2022 book value of the Treasury Pool was approximately $43.183 billion, and the corresponding market value was approximately $41.838 billion.

An internal controls system for monitoring cash accounting and investment practices is in place. The Treasurer's Compliance Auditor, who operates independently from the Investment Officer, reconciles cash and investments to fund balances daily. The Compliance Auditor’s staff also reviews each investment trade for accuracy and compliance with the Board adopted Investment Policy. On a quarterly basis, the County’s outside independent auditor (External Auditor) reviews the cash and investment reconciliations for completeness and accuracy. Additionally, the External Auditor reviews investment transactions on a quarterly basis for conformance with the approved Investment Policy and annually accounts for all investments.

The following table identifies the types of securities held by the Treasury Pool as of March 31, 2022:

Type of Investment % of Pool
Certificates of Deposit 3.47
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 68.38
Bank Acceptances 0.00
Commercial Paper 28.06
Municipal Obligations 0.07
Corporate Notes & Deposit Notes 0.02
Repurchase Agreements 0.00
Asset Backed Instruments 0.00
Other 0.00
100.00
The Treasury Pool is highly liquid. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 36.21% of the investments mature within 60 days, with an average of 1,006 days to maturity for the entire portfolio.

4 STUDY SESSION

A Consideration and possible action to conduct a City Council Study Session on potential ballot measures for the November 2022 ballot: 1) Underutilized Commercial Property Tax; and 2) City Charter.

City Manager Stewart introduced the item.

Director of Economic Development DellaLonga 1) gave a PowerPoint presentation providing an overview of the Underutilized Commercial Property Tax matter; and 2) along with City Attorney Berger and City Manager Stewart, responded to Council Members’ questions.

Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, 1) requested and received clarification from City Manager Stewart that although “underutilized” and “unutilized” were both used in the presentation, the intent is to focus on vacancies (“unutilized”) and not assess existing uses; and 2) stated that if this is to go before the voters, that a clear definition of “unutilized” needs to be developed and included to avoid appeals and litigation.

Following brief discussion, 1) City Manager Stewart clarified that current Bellflower Municipal Code Section 8.40.030 (Vacant Properties) gives the City the latitude for implementation and already establishes a definition for a vacancy as 90 days vacant, which could work in tandem with annual inventory list since the current regulations require it; and 2) City Attorney Berger further clarified that vacant properties regulations are already enforced with regard to improvements and maintenance and the definition for vacant property is defined as any real property that is undeveloped or has an existing onsite structure or other improvement, including without limitation, improved parking lots or spaces that is either abandoned, vacant, or un-leased by the responsible party for 90 days.

For the record, Council Member Koops 1) stated that he is a commercial property owner in five different cities, but given the pandemic, has had difficulty getting a renter for his Bellflower property and expressed the opinion that a vacant building is not advantageous to a property owner; and 2) expressed concern for commercial property owners that are unable to obtain and maintain a tenant in a certain amount of time which, for a smaller-sized building, could result in a bill that would exceed the annual rent they would have collected.

Council Member Hamada, 1) requested and received clarification from Director DellaLonga and City Manager Stewart with regard to the City creating the tax concept primarily on their own, however the City and County of San Francisco has a similar tax currently in place and the City of Modesto is currently considering the implementation of a similar tax as well; 2) questioned whether the tax would work against communities by depressing the property values and make it less attractive to come to Bellflower; and 3) requested and received clarification from City Manager Stewart that the tax would be assessed on the fiscal year schedule and a sunset clause had not yet been considered.

4 STUDY SESSION – Continued

A Consideration and possible action to conduct a City Council Study Session on potential ballot measures for the November 2022 ballot: 1) Underutilized Commercial Property Tax; and 2) City Charter – Continued

Council Member Sanchez 1) expressed the opinion that exemptions will be a key component to this tax; 2) stated that he would like to explore a built-in CPI (Consumer Price Index) component and a sunset clause; 3) would be in favor of increasing the max cap and lowering the minimum, as well as utilizing the annual tax rolls as the collection mechanism; and 4) questioned whether there was enough time to develop a citizens advisory ad hoc subcommittee , similar to the ones created for Measure P and the charter, to gather community input.

In response to Council Member Sanchez’ question of whether there was enough time to develop a citizens advisory ad hoc subcommittee, 1) at the request of City Manager Stewart, City Clerk Ochiqui stated that the deadline to submit a request to consolidate a ballot measure election with the County is August 12, 2022; and 2) City Manager Stewart stated that it may be possible for an Ad Hoc Subcommittee to meet once or twice to take a snapshot of their point of view, but that he would also like to engage Consultant Richard Bernard of FM3 to gather his input on the viability of both proposed measures.

At the request of Mayor Dunton, Director DellaLonga and City Manager Stewart clarified that a vacant retail building and a vacant lot would be taxed at the same rate, noting that the City would need to be careful not to set different standards.

For the record, Mayor Dunton 1) expressed the opinion that to be fair then, the vacant retail building and vacant lot should be taxed per square foot of land; 2) if a property goes vacant after the first annual assessment, then there would be a grace period there, but if a lot has been vacant for ten years, then the tax will go into effect on the first year; and 3) expressed the opinion that this proposed tax is not a money grab or only about cost recovery, but it’s about getting the property recycled and used, which is healthy.

For the record, Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines 1) stated that the tax would sunset automatically as the properties are developed; and 2) noted that the city to the south of Bellflower only has three vacant lots, including one that is City-owned.

At the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, Mayor Dunton polled his City Council colleagues relative to whether there is an appetite to move forward to direct staff to gather more information relative to the proposed Underutilized Commercial Property Tax for City Council consideration at a future study session. It was a consensus of the City Council to do so.

4 Bellflower City Council Special Meeting Minutes Item No. 4-A May 3, 2022 Page 4 of 4

4 STUDY SESSION – Continued

For the record, Council Member Koops requested that when Consultant Bernard provides information at a future meeting, that the City Council determine whether the City should move forward with both proposed ballot measures or if not, which measure would take precedence over the other.

With regard to the proposed City Charter ballot measure, City Manager Stewart stated that 1) it was put aside for two years, but the charter language had been previously approved by the City Council; 2) City Attorney Berger would provide an explanation as to a minor amendment that was provided to the City Council for this meeting; and 3) the matter would be brought back for further discussion and consideration by the City Council at the subsequent study session .

For the record, 1) Council Member Sanchez suggested implementation of a scale of measurement going forward to better distinguish between property owners who are putting in their best efforts to maintain occupancy and those who have been habitually vacant; and 2) Council Member Koops noted that the City as a property owner would also be subjected to the same tax.

For the record, City Attorney Berger read the amendment to Section 7.C of the charter into the record, as follows:

“Notwithstanding any other part of this Section, the City Council must pay prevailing wage for public projects erecting, improving, painting, or repairing public buildings and projects.”

For the record, 1) City Attorney Berger stated that following some discussions with union representatives, additional recommended language clarifies that the City would adhere to the established state level prevailing wage as opposed to implementing its own maintenance related types of wages with regard to classic type of Public Works projects; and 2) the red-lined version of the amendment was submitted to be archived in the official meeting materials.

Following discussion, it was the consensus of the City Council to 1) direct staff to continue to research both potential ballot measures and bring more information back to the City Council in approximately two weeks, to include consideration of forming a City Council Ad Hoc Subcommittee and Citizen Committee, as well as input from Consultant Richard Bernard of FM3; and 2) accept the revised City Charter presented in the agenda packet.

4 CONSIDERATION ITEM

A Consideration and possible action to consider appealing Planning Commission approval of Development Review Case No. DR-8-21-12200 to allow the conversion of existing office spaces on the second floor into eight residences and Minor Modification Case No. MDV-3-22-12882 to allow for 21 parking spaces instead of the minimum 23 required parking spaces on property located at 17055-17057 Bellflower Boulevard within Area 2 of the Town Center (TC) District.

City Manager Stewart introduced the item.

For the record, Mayor Dunton announced that he chose to bring this forward to the full City Council for consideration of possible appeal, expressing the opinion that this matter should be re-evaluated, noting that he had concerns about the parking and the site, along with auxiliary parking that is supposed to be removed, parking traffic, parking study, and a 3-2 vote by the Planning Commission.

Director of Planning and Building Services Corpuz 1) gave a brief verbal presentation providing an overview of the Staff Report; and 2) along with City Attorney Berger and City Manager Stewart, responded to Council Members’ questions.

At the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, for the benefit of the public, Director Corpuz detailed the process that will be taken at this meeting and moving forward, if the City Council chooses to hear the appeal.

At the request of Mayor Dunton, Director Corpuz confirmed that staff had received new data from the applicant regarding the number of employees in the businesses.

Following brief discussion relative to whether the new information could be heard at this meeting, City Attorney Berger 1) clarified that this is not the actual hearing, so new evidence should not be brought in at this time, particularly evidence that has been gathered by Council Members independently; and 2) noted that it was up to the City Council if this matter should be brought forward to a public hearing at a future date, at which time new evidence could be considered.

At the request of Mayor Dunton, City Attorney Berger 1) explained that anything that was observed and not a part of the initial Staff Report that was submitted to the Planning Commission would qualify as new evidence; and 2) clarified that if he had a concern that there was insubstantial evidence, then that is what should be relayed to his City Council colleagues, noting that since this is a quasi-judicial proceeding, if it moves forward to a hearing, the applicant has a due process right to contravene the evidence that is brought in.

4 CONSIDERATION ITEM – Continued

A Consideration and possible action to consider appealing Planning Commission approval of Development Review Case No. DR-8-21-12200 – Continued

For the record, City Council Member Sanchez 1) expressed the opinion that the parking space findings in the Staff Report were not enough of a deviation to warrant an appeal to the Planning Commission’s decision; 2) stated that he trusted the Planning Commission, served on the Planning Commission for five years, and believes that the City has appointed qualified Planning Commissioners; 3) the parking spaces in question are in the downtown area , which have a higher incidence of more parking demand and less spaces; and 4) respectfully, stated that he is not in favor if appealing this matter.

For the record, City Council Member Hamada 1) stated that he did go see the site on Saturday and noted that the property was older and in need of upgrades, however, there are codes in place and associated findings that determined the project was in compliance; 2) stated that there are conditions already in place (substantial conformance) that if there are deviations from the project that was approved, then there should be a reason for it to come back; 3) echoed the sentiment that he served as a Planning Commissioner for almost ten years and that from his experience, they make every effort to be thorough and the codes were the reference tools; 4) expressed the opinion that, though it appears that there are quirky occurrences in this project, such as the extra parking lot, the Planning Commission accomplished their objective and exercised diligence by asking the proper questions; and 5) expressed concern about appealing decisions when they appear they have undergone the process and complied with applicable codes.

For the record, Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines 1) acknowledged that all of the sitting Council Members had served on the Planning Commission at some point in time, noting that he respects the work of the Planning Commission; 2) expressed concern relative to the 3-2 vote of the Planning Commission and would like the opportunity to re-hear what transpired; and 3) expressed the opinion that although it would cause a short delay of the project, it would not mean that the plans would be rejected and the City would be better served as it was not a clear decision from the Planning Commission.

Council Member Koops stated that he did not have any comments or questions, as he was trying to remain cognizant and mindful of City Attorney Berger’s advice relative to new evidence and the hearing process.

Following discussion, it was moved by Mayor Dunton, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, and failed by the following roll call vote, to appeal the Planning Commission approval of Development Review Case No. DR-8-21-12200 and Minor Modification Case No. MDV-3-22-12882 and schedule an appeal hearing on June 13, 2022, at 6:00 p.m.:

Paul Hernandez, City of Baldwin Park, Council Member and Executive Director for Water Education for Latino Leaders (WELL), provided an informational flyer and extended an invitation to the City Council for their upcoming conference to be held June 10 -11, 2022, in Pico Rivera, in which they would provide information relative to solutions to the water crisis, the nuances of climate change and its direct impacts on the water supply, and the solutions available to the region such as new ordinances and policies.

John Williams, resident, 1) requested an update of a resolution for the parking structure issues, noting that he spoke with a City employee who shared that someone was stabbed in the structure the prior weekend; and 2) stated that his tenants have complained that people enter the structure very late at night and “do donuts” with their vehicles.

In response to Mr. William’s comments and at the request of Mayor Dunton, City Manager Stewart 1) stated that the City was aware of the continued issues and several permanent projects were underway that should be limiting access to the structure, such as permanent gates, clean-up work, and increased security; 2) stated that the incident over the weekend was disturbing and that in light of the incident which occurred at about 4:00 p.m., the City would be increasing its security efforts earlier in the day; 3) encouraged Mr. Williams to contact Assistant City Manager/ Director of Public Works Gorecki to receive an update of the City’s efforts; and 4) elaborated that the structure was built in anticipation of the development of the area, which is now occurring with the development of the Edgeway Project, and once it’s underway the structure should be more occupied and the issues minimized.

12.42 to Title 12 of the Bellflower Municipal Code entitled “Permits Authorizing Events Conducted in City Parks and Facilities.” CEQA: The proposed Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it clarifies existing regulations related to the unlawful use of public property; does not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, this Ordinance does not constitute a “project” that requires environmental review (see specifically 14 CCR § 15378(b)(2, 5)).

With regard to Item 14-B (Mercy House Amendment No. 2) and at the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, Assistant to the City Manager Sais introduced Chief Program Officer Timothy Huynh to clarify the following: 1) navigation supervisors were implemented to coordinate entry tools for clients and ensure case files are up to standard and provide oversight, training, and guidance to case managers (also called navigators); 2) currently there are two navigators and one part-time supervisor stationed at New Hope in Bellflower; 3) the budget reduction in security services was tied to the implementation of a new Safety Coordinator position, which will improve service delivery and minimize cost by incorporating staff members, trained in de-escalation and who will recognize client conflicts before they occur, to interact with clients before security intervention is utilized; 4) the staffing pattern for security is changing from a 3-3-3 schedule to a 2-2-2 schedule, meaning two security personnel in the morning, evening, and overnight, respectively; 5) shuttle service will still be provided to clients; and 6) meals are subject to the competitive bid process, noting that the meal cost has increased from approximately $6.47 to $12.00.

At the request of Council Member Sanchez, Chief Program Officer Huynh clarified 1) the difference between Safety Coordinators and Security Personnel is that Safety Coordinators are trained Mercy House staff and Security Personnel are uniformed guards provided by a third-party security vendor; 2) they are decreasing the number of uniformed guards, but adding Mercy House staff to supplement; and 3) there will be and additional two Safety Coordinators in the morning and two in the evening which will result in more staff on the floor during the morning and evening shifts.

At the request of Council Member Hamada, Chief Program Officer Huynh stated that the impact of community donations on the budget was very minimal.

With regard to Item 14-C (Resolution No. 22-18 – Industrial Hemp-derived Products), and at the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, Director of Finance Rhee stated that the plans to identify dispensaries that are selling industrial hemp-derived products in order to apply the appropriate calculations for tax purposes would be to look for storefronts that advertise CBD and Industrial Hemp, as well as reviews identified through Google and Yelp , along with referrals from staff and the City Council.

With regard to Item 14-D (Farmer’s Market Operating Hours) and at the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, Director of Economic Development DellaLonga 1) explained that the reason for the time change was due to the operator finding that the demand from their vendor network for an afternoon farmers market was much larger than at the current earlier hours; 2) stated that an informal parking analysis was conducted by Economic Development staff for the proposed afternoon time slot in the area adjacent to Town Center Plaza and based on this analysis there should not be a significant negative impact on parking, as there was plenty of parking available at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. with more parking identified near Pirate Park in addition to the parking structure; 3) confirmed that the operator would promote the various parking availability and require the vendors to park in a

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No. 22-20 – A Resolution establishing the Capital Improvement Projects Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 funded by Senate Bill 1: Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

DATE: May 23, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This action would adopt Resolution No. 22-20 to establish the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 capital improvement projects budget funded by Senate Bill 1: Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The projects will include additional funding for resurfacing of Bellflower Boulevard between Flower Street and Beach Street, and resurfacing of Alondra Boulevard between Hayter Avenue and Bellflower Boulevard. A City Council adopted resolution submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) is required to receive the apportionment of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds from the State Controller’s Office for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Adopt Resolution No. 22-20 to establish and carryover RMRA project budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023; or

2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT

The estimated RMRA allocation for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 is $1,765,629. Unexpended RMRA allocations from preceding fiscal years (approximately $3,300,000) will be carried over to Fiscal Year 2022-2023 to fund the existing and proposed RMRA projects. The estimated construction costs for the two previously adopted SB1 projects increased due to inflation and COVID-19. In addition, the Alondra Boulevard resurfacing project scope has been expanded to go to the west City limit (Hayter Avenue).

FISCAL IMPACT – Continued

The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 RMRA allocation will fund these projects:

• Resurfacing of Alondra Boulevard between Hayter Avenue and Bellflower Boulevard - $1,000,000 (carryover project – previously listed as Resurfacing of Alondra Boulevard between Lakewood Boulevard and Bellflower Boulevard) • Resurfacing of Bellflower Boulevard between Flower Street and Beach Street – $765,629 (carryover project)

DISCUSSION
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 which created the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). Unlike standard pieces of legislation – which become effective January 1 in the year following adoption – SB 1 took effect immediately. Before receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, cities are required to submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of budgeted projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds.

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No. 22-21 – A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for, receive, and appropriate grant funds for the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 (Proposition 1) for the Simms Park Stormwater Capture Project.

DATE: May 23, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This action would authorize the City Manager, or designee, to submit a Proposition 1 grant application to the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) for the Simms Park Stormwater Capture Project (the “Simms Stormwater Project”).

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Adopt Resolution No. 22-21; or

2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT

The City will receive $734,000 of RMC Proposition 1 funds for the construction of the Simms Park Stormwater Capture Project if the grant application is approved.

BACKGROUND

The Simms Stormwater Project will provide significant water quality benefits within the Los Cerritos Channel sub-watershed. Due to the significant drainage area size (758 acres), location of the adjacent storm drain channel, and available development space, this project was identified as a priority water quality project to achieve the regulatory compliance proposed in the Los Cerritos Channel Watershed Management Plan.

Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing RMC Grant Application for Simms Park Stormwater Capture Project
May 23, 2022

Page 2 of 2 ends

BACKGROUND – Continued

The City applied for Safe, Clean Water (Measure W) Regional Program funds for the design and construction of the Simms Stormwater Project and was awarded funding for design of the project in May 2021. In April 2022, the Lower San Gabriel River Watershed Area Steering Committee approved a Stormwater Investment Plan (SIP) that will provide funding for the construction of the Simms Stormwater Project. The SIP must still be reviewed by the Regional Oversight Committee and then approved by the LA County Board of Supervisors.

We have also continued to look for other funding opportunities to continue to leverage funds for the Simms Stormwater Project, including Proposition 1 funds from the RMC that can be utilized to enhance the project’s nature based components.

The Simms Stormwater Project will include the following components: a diversion system; a filtration and infiltration facility; treatment and release of the captured water; replacement of the existing ballfield turf, impacted trees, and landscaping with a new artificial turf ballfield, new trees and landscaping; and replacement of the existing parking lot with a new permeable pavement parking lot with bioswales between rows of parking stalls.

This Simms Stormwater Project will also be designed to work in conjunction with the Mayfair Park Stormwater Capture Project, which is located 1.7 miles south of Simms Park. Stormwater and urban runoff captured by the underground reservoir will be used to supplement the irrigation needs for Mayfair Park in Lakewood. The combination of the projects will contribute to the total capture volume required for dry- and wet-weather.

The combination will help better design the total capture system required to achieve and maintain compliance with water quality standards, while helping to achieve water resilience and community quality of life investments.

Funding commitments for the Simms Stormwater Project include $15.8 million in Measure W Regional Program funds and $2.9 million in local matching funds consisting of Measure A, Municipal Measure W, and Public Project funds. The additional $734,000 in RMC grant funds will be used to focus on nature-based components, including permeable pavement and bioswale components. The total project funds, including the additional RMC grant funds, will be $19.4 million.

To be eligible for the RMC grant funds, the City must adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to submit an application for a grant in the amount of $734,000.

Simms Park Stormwater Capture Project
The Simms Park site is owned and operated by the City of Bellflower and is located within the Los Cerritos Channel Watershed.

The site has the potential to provide significant water quality improvement due to the significant drainage area size, location of the adjacent storm drain channel, and available development space. The drainage area for the project (758 acres) is entirely within the City of Bellflower. This project offers runoff storage and water quality benefits to achieve the regulatory compliance proposed in the Watershed Management Plan. This project will also be designed to work in conjunction with the Mayfair Park Stormwater Capture Project, which is 1.7 miles south of Simms Park. The combination of the projects will contribute to the total capture volume required for dry- and wet-weather. The combination with help better design the total capture system required to achieve and maintain compliance with water quality standards, while helping to achieve water resilience and community quality of life investments.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

ATTENTION: Jeffrey L. Stewart, City Manager

FROM: Joel Hockman, Director of Public Safety

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No. 22-22 – A Resolution adding a new Permit Parking District “N” pursuant to Bellflower Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 10.10; and superseding Resolution No. 20 50.

DATE: May 23, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Public Safety Commission, at its Regular Meeting held on February 15, 2022, heard testimony and voted to establish a new permit parking district on Orchard Avenue between Flower Street and Laurel Street.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Adopt Resolution No. 22-22; or

2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT

Each household in the newly established area would be required to obtain a residential parking permit at an annual cost of $50 per permit for each of the first two permits if parking a vehicle on the public street. If a household desires more than two permits, the cost increases to $100 for the third and $200 for the fourth permit (maximum of four permits per dwelling unit). If an annual permit is purchased after June 30, the permit holder need only pay 50% of the regular fee for the annual permit.

DISCUSSION

Pursuant to Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”) Chapter 10.10, the City received a petition signed by six residents requesting the installation of permit parking on Orchard Avenue between Flower Street and Laurel Street (see attached aerial map). At its February 15, 2022, meeting the Public Safety Commission considered the item and heard public testimony and voted to approve a permit parking district on the aforementioned section of Orchard Avenue.

14-H

Staff Report – Resolution No. 22-22
May 23, 2022

Page 2 of 2 ends

DISCUSSION – Continued

At the request of the Public Safety Department, the petitioner did solicit interest from an area larger than the proposed district, but found that interest to be well below the minimum approval rate. Thus, only the identified block on Orchard Avenue (100% approval by affected residents) was recommended by the Commission for Council approval. Though small in size, this block of Orchard Avenue does meet the minimum block definition requirement as specified in BMC § 10.10.160(B).

The basis of the request is the residents’ concern of a lack of available on-street parking and safety concerns of non-resident vehicles parking/loitering in the area. On multiple occasions, Public Safety staff observed and confirmed some of the residents’ concerns, as recorded in the attached Inspection Sheet. The creation of a permit parking district would provide greater on-street parking opportunities for area residents and their guests. Permit parking means that vehicles parked on the above-mentioned section of Orchard Avenue would require rearview mirror hanging permits issued by the City to be displayed in the vehicles. Because they are a mirror hanging variety, parking permits can be switched among vehicles as necessary.

Permits are not mandatory if homeowners do not intend to park on the street. Single-day guest permits would also be available to each household at no cost, for a very limited number of days per year. Vehicles parking on the street displaying a disabled placard are exempt from displaying a City-issued parking permit. The petition calls for parking to be restricted on both sides of the street, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds as follows:

A. Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”) § 10.10.170 allows the City Council to modify, remove, or dissolve a specific area(s) within existing permit parking districts;

B. On February 15, 2022, at its Regular Meeting the Public Safety Commission received public testimony and other evidence regarding, in part, to establish a permit parking district on Orchard Avenue between Flower Street and Laurel Street (proposed Permit Parking District N); and

C. This Resolution, and its findings, are made based upon the recommendation to the City Council from the Public Safety Commission to approve Permit Parking District N.

SECTION 2. Pursuant to BMC § 10.10.150, the City Council makes the following findings as to proposed Permit Parking District N:

A. That vehicles owned or operated by persons who are not residents substantially and regularly interfere with the use of the majority of available public street or alley parking spaces in the proposed specified area by adjacent residents;

B. Interference by such vehicles occurs in the proposed specified area at regular and significantly daily or weekly intervals;

C. These nonresident vehicles significantly contribute to unreasonable noise; traffic hazards; and environmental pollution or devaluation of real property in the area of the proposed specified area; and

D. There is a shortage of reasonably available and convenient residential related parking spaces within the proposed specified area.

SECTION 3. A new Permit Parking District N is added to approved Permit Parking Districts as set forth in attached Exhibit “A,” which is incorporated by reference.

Attached Exhibit A supersedes that included in Resolution No. 20-50, adopted on August 10, 2020.

3 VOP RESPONSIBILITIES

8 Dear I lonorable Mayor and Members of the Council,
My name is Douaa Megahed, the wife of the recently deceased Galal Salem Namatalla and the recent owner of the land on 4021 Somerset Boulevard.

My husband passed away on April 25, 2021 after years of struggling against pancreatic cancer. After his passing, I found a letter from City of Bellflowers, So I decided to visit the City Hall to inquire about the situation regarding the property, and was surprised to find that I owed $33,440.14 for the cleaning of the lot. In the beginning of 2018, my family and I moved to Riverside County, where my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September of 2018. Due to our relocation, we were not able to receive the letters sent to our Downey residence until we moved back near the end of 2020. At that time, he was scheduled for a big surgery and multiple radiation sessions shortly afterwards, so he wasn't able to deal with any of the issues regarding the property. Until his passing, I was not involved in any business, my husband was the one who took care of everything until he had his fetal disease, so I had no experience when it came time for me to handle everything.

The main source of income for my family was my husband's work, so after his passing we lost most of our income. I will attach a copy of our most recent tax return for the year of 2021, in addition to the W-2 we received from his job for the 4 months he was a live. I have four children, two of which are in college and two in high school.

After my visit to the City Hall, I began communicating with the Assistant City Attorney, Timothy E. Campen. I attempted to resolve this issue as effectively as I could considering the circumstances I was in. I offered 4,000 at the beginning. and then offered 15,000 to solve the

problem completely. I received a letter that I was offered 10,000 but it never happened. I don't know where the 10,000 offers come from.

I ani currently willing to pay up to half of the original value. I am not able to pay the full amount, and I do not want a lien on the property as it is my childrens' inheritance.

After looking into the expenses listed for the work done on the property, I made some comparisons to try and make sense of the incredibly high values. I was charged $10,950.00 for the fence (144 ft plus the 16 ft gate opening, 3f1: high, 2 rail white vinyl). The same material and quality with 3 rails and 4 ft high was $127 for 8 ft at Home Depot. As a result, the price for the material would have come out to be $2,286. In addition to the labor, the job should not have exceeded $5,000. The same goes for the wood chips. I was charged $11,792 for installation of the wood chips, but when calculated, the price did not exceed $5,000. In addition, I was charged $8,950 for "clear and grub." I want to clarify that the land was flat, with only weeds to be cleared. I will attach all the documents that prove my estimated price.

I will attach the 2021 tax return and all income sources that belong to my husband in this year, and my major expenses during the year, including my kids tuition and our mortgage. My husband received a W2 for the 4 months he was alive and I received a 1099 MISC for him as a death benefit for a surviving spouse; the total for both is $60,352. This amount will not be in my income next year. ,Both W2 are one time payments.

I sincerely hope that you consider these facts when coming to a decision, and that we come to an agreeable solution soon.

Thank you very much,
Douaa Megahed
