DATE: October 10, 2022

Staff Report – Resolution No. 22-62, Darts Corner LLC
October 10, 2022

DISCUSSION

On July 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-34 which set forth policies and procedures for the Economic Development Business Assistance Plan (the Plan). The Plan provides financial assistance and loans to business, restaurant and/or property owners to provide working/start-up capital and make various improvements that will help attract and retain businesses. Specifically, Chapter 5 of the Plan offers a Small Business Microloan from $5,000 to $30,000 for working/start-up capital, equipment/machinery purchases, inventory purchases and direct business expenses for small business located within the city. Disbursement of the loan amount is contingent upon the Applicant completing the application and meeting the criteria of the program.

Furthermore, Chapter 5 Small Business Microloans have terms of 10 years and interest rates of prime rate plus 2%. The longer term helps applicants by providing smaller payments over a longer period of time. The interest rate over the prime rate helps offset the increased risk sometimes associated with small business lending.

In July 2022, Tonia McMillian, owner of Darts Corner LLC, (the Applicant) submitted an application under Chapter 5 for a $30,000 Small Business Microloan for her business located at 17242-44 Downey Avenue. The Microloan will provide working and start-up capital due to the loss of an investment partner in the business. The application included a business plan, financial projections, job creation information, letters of support, and a commitment to cross-promote the City of Bellflower in its marketing efforts. Staff reviewed the application materials including a credit check, projected monthly cash flow analysis, a business loan rejection letter from Bank of the West, and a list of collateral. Collateralized items will be included on a UCC Financing Statement Filed with the Secretary of State.

Darts Corner is located within the shopping center at the northeast corner of Downey Avenue and Artesia Boulevard and opened for business in June 2022 taking the space formerly occupied by Enrique’s Mexican Restaurant. Under the Plan, the Applicant is providing a personal guaranty, collateral totaling the outstanding principal plus any accrued interest and has certified to creating 4 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs (program requires 1 FTE). The year 1 cash flow projection indicates a debt coverage ratio of just over 1 with the infusion of personal funds as the new business gets established and stabilizes. The loan payments will begin 60-days following the full disbursement of the loan. Based on the prime rate at the time of application which is 5.5% (published by the WSJ on July 28, 2022) plus 2.0%, loan payments will be $358.32 at the total interest rate of 7.5%.

EXHIBIT “A” – PERSONAL GUARANTY
PERSONAL GUARANTY OF [NAME]

In consideration of execution of that certain loan agreement between the City of Bellflower ("Lender”) and Darts Corner, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Borrower”), the undersigned, ________ ("Guarantor”) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender, its successors, and assigns, the full and prompt performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Agreement, including the payment of all money due, in accordance with the Agreement’s terms.

Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty will, in no way, be affected by the release or discharge of Borrower in any creditor proceeding, receivership, bankruptcy, or other proceeding; or by the cessation, from any cause whatsoever, whether consensual, or by operation of law, of Borrower’s liability, except cessation of liability caused by Borrower’s full performance or satisfaction of all conditions arising under the Agreement.

In the event of Borrower’s default of the Agreement, Guarantor agrees that Lender may enforce this Guaranty without the necessity of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral; and Guarantor waives the right to requires Lender to proceed against Borrower, to foreclose any lien on any real or personal property, to exercise any right or remedy under the Agreement, to pursue any other remedy, or to enforce any other right.

Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained in this Guaranty will prevent Lender from pursuing any Agreement remedy or exercising any rights available to it thereunder, and the exercise of any such right will not constitute a legal or equitable discharge by Lender. Guarantor understands that Lender’s exercise of certain rights and remedies under the Agreement may affect or eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Borrower, and therefore, Lender agrees that, in the event of Borrower’s default of the Agreement, Lender will give written notice of such default to Guarantor, and Guarantor will then have the right to cure Borrower’s default by fully performing Borrower’s obligations, including, without limitation, the payment of late charges and other costs and expenses arising from a late payment or default. In the event Guarantor elects to cure Borrower’s Agreement default, Guarantor must complete performance within 60 days of Lender’s notice to Guarantor of Borrower’s default. In the event Guarantor fails to cure such default within the 60-day timeframe, Lender may pursue its legal rights and remedies under the Agreement and Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty.

Whenever the parties hereto desire to give or serve any notice, demand or request with respect to this Guaranty, each such communication must be in writing and will be effective only if delivered by personal service or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as set forth below. Such communications will be effective only when they are received by the addressee thereof, but if sent by registered or certified mail, they will be deemed effective three days after being deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. Each party may change its address for such communications by giving notice to the other in accordance with this paragraph.

PROMISSORY NOTE OF
AGREEMENT FILE NO. 959

BETWEEN THE CITY OF BELLFLOWER
AND

DARTS CORNER, LLC

$30,000.00 Bellflower, CA

For value received, the undersigned (Borrower) promises to pay to the order of the City of Bellflower (Payee) (Holder) at its office in the City of Bellflower, State of California or at holder's option, at such other place as may be designated from time to time by the holder, $30,000 (Thirty Thousand Dollars), with simple interest on the unpaid principal computed from the date of the final advance to the undersigned at the rate of seven and one half percent (7.5%) per annum, payment to be made in installments as follows (Obligation):

Loan payments must be made in equal installments, each in the amount of $358.32, for a term of 120 months, commencing 60 days from date of the final drawdown, and continuing due and payable on the first business day of each month thereafter, when the full unpaid balance of principal and interest becomes due and payable. If Borrower makes scheduled payments in a timely manner and does not prepay any portion of the principal, the loan will be fully amortized in 120 months, with the final payment in the amount of $358.32.

If a payment not timely made remains overdue for a period of (10) days after the same becomes due and payable, Borrower, without notice or demand by the City of Bellflower or any other holder of the Note, must pay a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent payment owing (the “Late Charge”) or $100.00, whichever is greater. Borrower agrees that an amount equal to the Late Charge is a reasonable estimate of the damage to the City of Bellflower or other holder of the Note in the event of late payment due hereunder.

Prepayment of any installment of principal or interest owing on this Note may be made before the maturity date thereof without penalty.

Upon an Event of Default, City has the right to accelerate the debt evidenced by the Loan Documents and declare all of the unpaid principal and interest immediately due and payable. Upon an Event of Default, the outstanding portion of the principal bears interest at the rate of seven- and one-half percent (7.5%), compounded monthly, or the highest rate permitted by law. Any failure by City to pursue its legal and equitable remedies upon an Event of Default does not constitute a waiver of City’s right to declare an Event of Default and exercise all of its rights under the Loan Documents. Nor does acceptance by City of any payment constitute a waiver of City’s right to require prompt payment of any remaining payment owed.

The term "Indebtedness" as used herein means the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, including principal, interest, and expenses, whether contingent, now due or hereafter to become due and whether heretofore or contemporaneously herewith or - Page 19 of 29 -

City of Bellflower
Promissory Note – DARTS CORNER, LLC

hereafter contracted. The term "Collateral" as used in the Note means any funds, guaranties, machinery and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other personal and real property or rights therein of any nature whatsoever, or the proceeds thereof which may have been, are, or hereafter may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated, directly by the undersigned or by third parties, in connection with, or as security for, the Indebtedness or any part thereof. The Collateral, and each part thereof, will secure the Indebtedness and each part thereof. The covenants and conditions set forth or referred to in any and all instruments of hypothecation constituting the Collateral are hereby incorporated in the Note as covenants and conditions of the undersigned with the same force and effects as though such covenants and conditions were fully set forth herein.

Upon the nonpayment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, Holder is empowered to sell, assign, and deliver the whole or any part of the Collateral at public or private sale, without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place of sale or of any adjournment thereof, which are hereby expressly waived. After deducting all expenses incidental to or arising from such sale or sales, Holder may apply the residue of the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Indebtedness returning the excess, if any, to the undersigned. The undersigned hereby waives all right of redemption or appeasement whether before or after sale.

In the event of a default, holder is further empowered to collect or cause to be collected or otherwise to be converted into money all or any part of the Collateral, by suit or otherwise, and to surrender, compromise, release, renew extend, exchange, or substitute any item of the Collateral in transactions with the undersigned or any third party, irrespective of any assignment thereof by the undersigned, and without prior notice to or consent of the undersigned or any assignee. Whenever any item of the Collateral is not paid when due, or is otherwise in default, whether or not the indebtedness, or any part thereof, has become due, Holder has the same rights and powers with respect to such item of the Collateral as are granted in this paragraph in case of nonpayment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, when due. None of the rights, remedies, privileges, or powers of Holder expressly provided for therein are exclusive, but each of them are cumulative with and in addition to every other right, remedy, privilege, and power now or hereafter existing in favor of Holder, whether at law or equity, by statue or otherwise.

The undersigned agree to take all necessary steps to administer, supervise, preserve, and protect the Collateral; and regardless of any action taken by Holder, there is no duty upon Holder in this respect. In the event of a default the undersigned must pay all expenses of any nature, whether incurred in or out of court, and whether incurred before or after this Note will become due at its maturity date or otherwise, including without limitation to reasonable attorney's fees and costs, which Holder may deem necessary or proper in connection with the satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the administration, supervision, preservation, protection of (including, but not limited to, the maintenance of adequate insurance) or the realization upon the Collateral. Holder is authorized to pay at any time and from time to time any or all of such expenses, add the - Page 20 of 29 -

City of Bellflower
Promissory Note – DARTS CORNER, LLC

amount of such payment to the amount of the Indebtedness, and charge interest thereon at the rate specified herein with respect to the principal amount of this Note.

The security rights of Holder and its assigns hereunder will not be impaired by Holder's sale, hypothecation or rehypothecation of any note of the undersigned or any item of the Collateral, or by any indulgence, including but not limited to (a) any renewal, extension, or modification which Holder may grant with respect to the Indebtedness or any part thereof, or (b) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange, or substitution which Holder may grant in respect of the Collateral, or (c) any indulgence granted in respect of any endorser, guarantor, or surety. The purchaser, assignee, transferee, pledgee of this Note, the Collateral, and guaranty, and any other document (or any of them), sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or repledged, will forthwith become vested with and entitled to exercise all the powers and rights given by this Note and all applications of the undersigned to Holder or, as if said purchaser, assignee, transferee, or pledge were originally named as Payee in this Note and in said application or applications.

DATE: October 10, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The public hearing relative to the potential Purchase and Sale Agreement with the 1991 Jacquelyn S. Connolly Revocable Living Trust U/D/T (the “Connolly Trust”) was scheduled and publicly noticed for the October 10, 2022, City Council Meeting.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

FROM: Jeffrey L. Stewart, City Manager
Mayra Ochiqui, City Clerk

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to select an adjudicated newspaper for purposes of publishing legal notices for the City.

DATE: October 10, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Official publications must be made only in a “newspaper of general circulation” within the jurisdiction. If a particular jurisdiction does not have such a newspaper, the publication must be made “in a newspaper of general circulation published nearest thereto.” Per Government Code §§ 6027 and 6028, in order to qualify as a newspaper of general circulation, a newspaper must obtain a judicial decree. In a recent review by staff, staff identified two local adjudicated newspapers in Los Angeles County with judicial decrees that could serve the City: the Bellflower Herald American and Los Cerritos Community News. Staff is requesting the City Council select an adjudicated newspaper for purposes of publishing legal notices for the City.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Select an adjudicated newspaper and direct staff to publish lega l notices for the City in the selected publication; or

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

FISCAL IMPACT

Each department is responsible for submitting legal notices for publication . Therefore, there is funding currently allocated in each department for this purpose.

1 Staff Report – Publication of Legal Notices
October 10, 2022

BACKGROUND

In 1995, the City Council directed staff to publish legal notices for City ordinances in the “Local Section” of the Long Beach Press-Telegram and the Bellflower Today.

Bellflower Today ceased to exist in the summer of 1995 and staff continued publishing in the Long Beach Press-Telegram. In 2006, the City Council re-evaluated publishing procedures and directed staff to continue publishing in the Long Beach Press-Telegram in the “Public Notices” section. Although the direction was specifically for legal requirements for ordinances, staff followed the same procedures for all notices that required legal advertising. This practice continued until 2016, when staff re-evaluated publishing procedures and discovered that the Bellflower Herald American had a judicial decree and was a newspaper of general circulation. As a result, staff began to publish all legal notices in the Bellflower Herald American.

DISCUSSION

Recently, the Los Cerritos Community News newspaper submitted a Public Records Act request and subsequently inquired why the City chose to publish in the Bellflower Herald American, noting that it too held a judicial decree and was a newspaper of general circulation for Los Angeles County. Upon further research by staff, its judicial decree was confirmed.

Government Code § 6041 requires official publications be made only in a “newspaper of general circulation” within the jurisdiction. If a particular jurisdiction does not have such a newspaper, the publication must be made “in a newspaper of general circulation published nearest thereto.” Regrettably, this phrase is not interpreted by any published cases nor is it defined by the statute itself. The relative Government Code sections also do not provide a system or criteria for ranking publications if multiple adjudicated publications exist, so the City must make the determination of which newspaper of general circulation to publish the City’s required legal notices.

Attached for your reference is a Comparison Table of Local Adjudicated Newspapers (Attachment 1) and the Judicial Decree and Media Kits for each publication. Please note that not all of the information requested from the Bellflower Herald American was received.

6 By Dorany PineDa anD Dennis J. FreemanContributing Writers Thousands of fans, friends, celebrities and loved ones are set to converge on Detroit next week to pay final tribute to America’s “Queen of Soul,” an iconic talent who defined a mu-sical era, inspired a generation of activists and blazed a trail of opportunity for dozens of R&B singers to follow.A public viewing for Aretha Franklin, who died Aug. 16 at age 76 of pancreatic cancer, will be held Aug. 28 and 29 in Detroit, and a private funeral service is planned for her family and friends Aug. 31, as is a memorial concert Aug. 30. “It’s going to be enormous. We have to remember who she was. ... There will be thousands of people showing up,” said Jean Wright from the Swanson Funeral Home, which is han-dling her funeral. U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who this week introduced legislation to post-humously award Franklin with a Congressional Gold Medal, saluted the cultural and artistic icon.“From listening to ‘Mary Don’t You Weep,’ to standing in the living room dancing to ‘Rock Steady’ over and over again, to hearing from the Queen herself how lucky I was to be young, gifted and black — Aretha’s songs were the soundtrack of my childhood,” Harris said. “Aretha was simply a legend.

LOS ANGELES — Darlene Love used to walk the pathways near the canals in Watts. What she saw appalled her. There were scores of people lined up along the canal off Central Avenue in South Los Angeles, living in tents, trying to survive. Getting food supplies and clothing was a blessing for those living there where survival was a day-to-day battle.Love, a longtime caterer, saw a need and decided to something about it. Thus, the yearly Feed Our Family event, which benefits those in need, began. On Nov. 10, Love and a host of volunteers put their heart, arms and legs into action during the ninth annual Feed Our Family event under a big tent in the same area of Central Avenue where she used to check in on people liv-ing out of their homes and in the streets. U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters came out to share her support for what Love and her crew of volun- teers were doing.This is what servicing the community really means, Love said. “By me being a caterer, and I’m from Watts, so what I did was … basically we walked the canal in the back and I saw that there was a need for a lot of people that was not doing that good,” Love said. “So I decided to use what I know, and my field is in cooking, to come out and help them.”Love is not the only person to see the need. Several local vendors and business entities such as Three Amigos restaurant, Harrison-Ross Mortuary, Slau-son Learning Center and others helped make the event go off. They served a hot dinner of baked chicken, fried chicken, roasted chicken, macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. Velvet Victorian used to be homeless. She knows the feeling of having to get up and fight for some of the basic necessities of life, including securing adequate hygiene products, taking a bath and getting food into her stomach. Victorian, who went to school with Love, said she came out to the event to support the cause that her friend is fighting. “I came out here to support my sister, Darlene,” Victorian said. “We went to elementary school, junior high and Fremont High. We came from a school where the Black Panthers came from. They were one of the first in the com-munity to do this kind of stuff. “Almost everybody that went to our junior high is of service,” Victorian added. “This is how we rebuild Watts. We need to get rid of some of the stigma that has to do with homelessness. I was homeless.”Karen Biles, a resident of Los Angeles, said what Love and her team are doing every year is great news for a largely impoverished neighborhood. “I’ve been knowing Darlene for three or four years,” Biles said. “She does this every year. The food is great. I think this is great because some of the people don’t get to eat food like this.” Commission meeting ends in shouts of ‘Shame!’
Black Lives Matter members disrupt
South L.A. meeting
By michael livingstonContributing Writer
EXPOSITION PARK — Po-lice Chief Michel Moore bolted out of the Roy A. Anderson Rec-reation Center Nov. 13 as shouts erupted from the audience.“Shame!” the people yelled as a Black Lives Matter banner was unfurled in the audience.The Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners voted unanimously to send the pro-posed 2019-20 budget of $1.6 billion for the Los Angeles Po-lice Department to Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office for review.The proposed budget is a 10 percent increase from last year. It includes upgrades to the de-partment’s records management system, additional homeless initiatives and more funding for technological upgrades.It also includes requests of $3 million for body cameras and $8 million for dash cameras, as well as a replacement helicopter.Commission President Steve Soboroff tried to restore order, but was drowned out by the chanting. “I’m going to ask that there be no more disruption,” Soboroff said.“You’re the disruption,” one person replied.Minutes later, the meeting was adjourned more after cries of “Shame!” were heard from the audience.“I am prepared to vote to put the budget forward. I think it would be irresponsible not to,” said Commissioner Dale Bonner.Bonner admitted that the budget — 706 pages in total — was a Herculean task to read and understand in a short amount of time.“Digesting 700 something pages in three days before a meeting I think is a little bit…” Bonner began saying, but then the dissent from the audience grew.“Why don’t you delay the vote then?” one woman said. Before a vote was cast, com-munity members voiced their concerns with the budget and the department’s treatment of people of color in Los Angeles.“What’s happening right now with $1.6 billion is not in-tegrity nor is it morality, but it’s injustice,” said Rev. Nat Turner. “Y’all got to figure out how can this money be situated to feed and to build up and sustain a community.”Many residents voiced their concern about Operation La-ser, the department’s predictive policing system.

By michael livingstonContributing WriterINGLEWOOD — Michelle Obama will discuss her mem-oir, “Becoming,” at the Forum Nov. 15 as part of a 10-city tour.In the 426-page book that was released Nov. 13, the former first lady reminisces about growing up on the South Side of Chicago, life in the White House, her mar-riage to former President Barack Obama, her thoughts about the 2016 presidential election and more.“In this book, I talk about my roots and how a little girl from the South Side of Chicago found her voice and developed the strength to use it to empower others,” Obama said in a news release earli-er this year. “I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be.”“Black-ish” actress Tracee Ellis Ross will moderate the discussion at the Forum. Eso Won Books in Leimert Park held a day-long event Nov. 13, serving breakfast and brunch to shoppers who stopped in to pick up a copy of the book on the first day it was available.

CARSON — Despite threats by the Me Too Movement and a local NAACP chapter protesting her appearance, U.S. Rep. Karen Bass intends to keep her commit-ment to speak Oct.25 at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Bass is scheduled to speak as part of the Dymally Distin-guished Speaker Series from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Leo F. Cain Library.The Dymally Distinguished Speaker Series is part of the uni-versity’s Mervyn M. Dymally African American Political and Economic Institute, which is led by professor Anthony Samad.Samad, who is co-founder of the Urban Issues Breakfast Fo-rum and was appointed by the university as executive direc-tor of the institute, has been ac-cused of sexual harassment in the workplace by women under his supervision. He was sued by two women in 2008 and 2012 while he was president of the 100 Black Men of Los Angeles.Me Too, the movement cre-ated by Tarana Burke in 2006, and which gained momentum last year with accusations of sex-ual misconduct by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and others, has becoming a lightning rod when it comes to women’s issues.Bass has stood with women against sexual harassment and assault and has been a staunch supporter of women’s rights.

Although Bass could not be reached for comment for this story, a source reported she was troubled by the sudden contro-versy but that she intended to speak at the event.Bass was an outspoken critic of new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his con-firmation process.In a statement dated July 9, she called Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault by a woman he knew more than 30 years ago, an “absolutely disas-trous nominee,” adding that his confirmation would threaten women’s reproductive rights. A statement sent under the signatures of Paulette Simpson Gipson, president of the Comp-ton NAACP, and Vincent L. Burr, Despite NAACP protests, Bass declines to cancel speech

among several targets
of potential explosives
By Dorany PineDaContributing WriterLOS ANGELES — U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters un-equivocally condemned “any and all acts of violence and terror” Oct. 24 as federal officials continued to inves-tigate a string of potentially explosive packages found in various locations in the Eastern United States. Waters, D-Los Angeles, was informed by U.S. Capitol Police that her Washington, D.C. office was targeted with a suspicious package that was referred to the FBI. “I am appreciative of the law enforce- ment entities who intercepted
the package and are investigat-
ing this matter,” she said in a statement. The suspicious package addressed to Waters was found at a congressional mail-sorting center in the U.S. Capital, ac-cording to media reports from Washington, D.C., and was immediately intercepted. The package was sent to an FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia, for examination, reported ABC 7. Later Oct. 24, officials at a U.S. Postal Service facility in South Los Angeles reported a suspicious item addressed to Waters at her district office on
South Broadway.

Several suspicious packages
were found at different loca-tions targeting former Secre-tary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, former CIA chief John Bren-nan, liberal billionaire George Soros, former Attorney General Eric Holder, CNN’s New York office and others. The Los Angeles Police Department, which was among numerous law enforcement organizations involved in the bomb threat investigations, released a statement in re-sponse saying, “We are aware of the suspicious packages sent
to several locations on the East
Coast. Right now, there is no nexus to Los Angeles. How-ever, we are monitoring the situation and communicating with our federal and local law enforcement partners.”In El Segundo, the new Los Angeles Times’ building was briefly and partially evacuated U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters was one of several politicians targeted by bomb scares Oct. 24. One suspicious package addressed to her was found in the congres-sional mail-sorting center in Washington and another suspicious package was found at a South Los Angeles postal facility addressed to her district office.

Trump rhetoric
inspiring violence,
L.A. mayor says
By Dennis J. FreeManContributing Writer
LOS ANGELES — Mayor Eric Garcetti said Oct. 24 that violent threats have become “a regular part of business the last five years.” Speaking at an informal press briefing after federal au-thorities announced that a string of potentially explosive pack-ages had been found in various locations in the eastern United States mailed to several politi-cians, including former Presi-dent Barack Obama and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, Garcetti said: “We get threats all the time.”“It’s definitely a toxic en-vironment, and one in which people’s ability to anonymous-ly threaten violence is probably greater than it’s ever been,” he added. “We take physical threats or virtual threats very seriously, but I trust the LAPD with that. And not just with me, but with other elected officials and nota-ble people that live here in the city.’’“This is the violence of this moment politically,” Garcetti added. “We used to resolve our disputes in a civil manner. Now we are not only uncivil, we have a president who rallies people like a blood sport for going after a journalist physically.”During an earlier session with members of the black press, Garcetti was equally forthcoming about issues facing Los Angeles. No subject was left off the table in a wide-ranging round-table discussion Oct. 18 about issues concerning and affecting African Americans living in the city. The discussion was an open forum for the members of the black press to informally sit down with Garcetti and discuss issues that impact the city’s black residents. Garcetti, with his gracious style, navigated the conversation with aplomb.Among the many topics Garcetti was asked about and tackled included how the city is working to address its homeless issue, particularly when it comes to African Americans. African Americans disproportionately make up the biggest number of those who are homeless in Los Angeles County, with a dramat-ic increase in numbers on Skid Row. “We’re looking at strate-gies that are literally about in-come assistance,” Garcetti said. “Some people are against it, philosophically; I’m not.”According to the latest num-bers documented by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), there are more than 39,000 people who are unsheltered in Los Angeles County, 22,000 of those indi-viduals living in the city of Los Angeles. LAHSA’s 2018 Great-er Los Angeles Homeless Count details that there are more than Mayor Eric Garcetti responds to questions about bomb scares to politi-cians during an informal press briefing Oct. 24.

Following discussion, it was moved by Council Member Hamada, seconded by Council Member Sanchez, and carried without objection, to open the public hearing.

Jeff Gold, Property Owner, 1) introduced himself and at the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, expressed the opinion that his father would have wanted to maximize the visibility of the businesses; 2) at the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, indicated that if they could not come up with an appealing name for the center on their own they would hire individuals that could; 3) stated that the developer team requested modifications to Condition of Approval No. 24 with regard to trash compactors, as their tenants are lower-volume stores and do not typically operate with compactors; and 4) along with Civil Engineer Steven Pollock and Applicant/Architect Greg James, responded to Council Members’ questions.

In response to the request by Applicant/Architect James and the developer team to eliminate Condition of Approval No. 24 (installation of trash compactors), 1) Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Works Gorecki stated that the Public Works Manager and he can review the condition with Director Corpuz, but the condition likely came about in trying to address space constraints for the individual trash enclosures, frequency of service, and the ability to handle the various types of trash (i.e., normal trash, organics, recycling); 2) City Manager Stewart stated that the City was not amenable to relinquishing the trash compactor requirements, but at the suggestion of City Attorney Berger confirmed that the Condition of Approval could be amended to have the trash enclosures approved by the Director of Public Works as reasonably necessary.

B Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider an application from Greg James of McKently Malak Architects, Inc. for Conditional Use Permit and Development Review, and to adopt Resolution No. 22-60 – Continued

For the record, Darlene Reeves (7-Eleven) agreed to the following amendment to Condition of Approval No. 33, as read into the record by City Attorney Berger:
“Signs must be posted at all entrances and exits of the convenience store premises stating that the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption is prohibited.

Permittee understands and agrees that single serving malt liquor, ale and beer is prohibited.”

John Butts, resident, 1) stated that he was glad to see that something was being done with the property; 2) suggested the Sizzler restaurant currently located at the northwest corner of Artesia Boulevard and Woodruff Avenue be relocated to this location, so that the current location is freed up for a possible Northgate Market, who has expressed interest in the lot, noting that he knew people with Northgate Market that he could connect with the City; and 3) with regard to the amendment of Condition of Approval No. 33 regarding the sale of single serving items of liquor, ale and beer, expressed the opinion that the City should not involve itself in the business owner’s operations.

Brian Espinoza, resident, 1) expressed the opinion that this is an auto-centric project rather than a community-based project because three drive-thru restaurants on one lot does not help create a sense of community; 2) requested and received clarification from Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines that the 7-Eleven will move from its current location across the street to this new location; 3) expressed concern that another liquor store will tenant the vacated 7-Eleven location and continue to present the same problems in the area; 4) expressed the opinion that a gas station in this area would be redundant, as there are four other gas stations within a half-mile or less of this location; 5) expressed his concern that the area between Pads 4 and 5 would attract homeless individuals due to the obstructed views in the layout; and 6) expressed the opinion that it is a health concern and irresponsible to allow more fast-food/drive-thru restaurants, while neglecting a grocery store component when it’s really needed in the City.

For the record, in response to comments provided by Mr. Espinoza, Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines stated that we’re operating in a free market economy, so it’s up to the businesses to come to Bellflower, noting that the City cannot force developers to build a grocery store.

There being no one else in attendance wishing to provide further testimony, it was moved by Council Member Hamada, seconded by Council Member Sanchez, and carried without objection, to close the public hearing.

The owner will use the financing to perform landscaping improvements in the parkway around the restaurant at 17308 Bellflower Boulevard. Chapter 3 is a forgivable loan provided through the City’s Economic Development Business Assistance Plan (the Plan), which requires a matching contribution from the business owner and adherence to Plan guidelines.

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

Staff Report – Resolution No. 22-61
October 10, 2022

DISCUSSION

On July 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-34 which set forth policies and procedures for the Economic Development Business Assistance Plan (the Plan). The Plan provides loans to business, restaurant and/or property owners to make various improvements that will help attract and retain businesses. Specifically, Chapter 3 of the Plan offers a 66% matching loan for building façade and/or landscaping improvements up to $20,000 and an additional $3,000 in loan funds to prepare plans for the improvements. Disbursement of the loan amount is contingent upon the Applicant matching the remaining portion and is on a cost reimbursement basis. Furthermore, Chapter 3 loans are amortized over five years and are 100% forgivable at the end of that term, provided the business remains in operation or has not been sold. In the event of a default, the Applicant must immediately repay the remaining balance of the amortized portion of the loan.

In September 2022, Ehsan Shakibaie, owner of Golden Flower, Inc. (Golden Corral Restaurant) completed an application under Chapter 3 for landscape improvements at 17308 Bellflower Boulevard. The application included the applicant’s lease, financial records, a certification of job creation, and a commitment to cross-promote the City of Bellflower in its marketing efforts. Following extensive review, staff determined that the application met the criteria for a Downtown Corridor Matching Loan under the Plan.

The property is located within the Downtown area as identified in the Plan and the proposed landscaping upgrades are improvements that would be visible from both Bellflower Boulevard and Artesia Boulevard. Under the Plan, the loan would provide a match of 66% of eligible projects costs, up to a maximum of $20,000. The applicant is also requesting an additional $3,000 for architectural design services as allowed by the Plan. The total not-to-exceed loan amount would be $23,000 to be used for parkway landscaping improvements, which may include design, irrigation, removal of the turf and dead plant material, and the installation of decomposed granite and drought tolerant vegetation.

All improvements must comply with applicable law including building codes and zoning regulations to be eligible for reimbursement payments. The applicant anticipates completing the improvements in the first half of Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
