Hi!
Please read this message in City Council meeting as Non‐Agenda Item. Thanks.

A message to be read out at City Council Meeting

Good evening!
This is Malik Tariq Mahmood Murabbi Silsilah (Imam). I feel privileged to address the audience through this platform. First of all I want to thank the Mayor and all the administration for providing this opportunity.

In the capacity of Murabbi I want to convey an important message of the Head of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad wich he gave on the occasion of the 10th Annual Peace Symposium at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London (UK).

His holiness says:
“To strive for peace is a noble ambition and is something that the world has always stood in great need of. If we look at the situation of the world today, we realize that now, more than ever, it is a pressing and urgent need of the time for us to seek and pursue peace and harmony in the world.”

Appealing for change to save society Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“If we want true peace and if we want to save the world from destruction then we must act with justice, integrity and be ever faithful to the truth.”

Furthermore he said:
“It is the duty of all powers to fulfill the requirements of justice and to unite together. All parties need to increase dialogue and open the lines of

2 communication so that they can peacefully discuss the best means to solve the problems of the world.”
“I will, God Willing, always continue to carry out my task and my responsibilities of promoting peace, tolerance, justice and compassion to the corners of the world. I will continue to tell all people that in order to be relieved of the pain and suffering that we face today, we must adopt true justice and equality.” May God bless us with peace! Amen.

TYPE OF ACTION LEGISLATIVE AND QUASI-JUDICIAL
Legislative: The recommended action includes a change to the Zoning Map. In considering such actions, the City Council acts in its discretionary legislative capacity (formulating rules that apply to all future cases). For the zone change, the City Council must make these findings (BMC § 17.104.030):
■ There are changed conditions since the existing zoning became effective to warrant other or additional zoning.
• The proposed zone change will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value or precedent, and will not be detrimental to the area.

The proposed zone change will be in the interest or furtherance of public health, safety and general welfare.
+ Approving the zone change will not adversely affect the City's Comprehensive Zoning Plana
Here, adopting Ordinance No. 1423 is required before any other approval may be granted for the project, i.e., Ordinance No. 1423 must become effective in order for the tentative map, development review, or site design review to be effective. Accordingly, all other approvals — if granted by the City Council — are dependent upon Ordinance No. 1423 becoming effective.

Quasi-judicial: The City Council will act in a quasi-judicial role when considering the tentative map and Development Review/Site Design applications. When doing so, the City Council applies facts gathered during a public hearing to existing law. Just like a court, the City Council can only consider facts that are relevant to the case. A party appearing before the legislative body is entitled to
• Notice of the proposed action;
• Reasons for the action;
A copy of the evidence on which the action is based; and The right to respond before a reasonably impartial, noninvolved reviewer. ' Editor's note: this phrase is not defined within the BMC, but is likely meant to be "Genera! Plan." —2—

TYPE OF ACTION (LEGISLATIVE AND QUASI-JUDICIAL — Continued The City Council must base its decisions upon substantial evidence within the record. "Substantial evidence" generally means enough relevant information and reasonable inferences from information gathered during a public hearing that a fair argument can be made to support a conclusion, even though other conclusions might also be reached.

Argument, speculation, unsubstantiated opinion or narrative, evidence which is clearly erroneous or inaccurate, or evidence of social or economic impacts does not constitute substantial evidence. Substantial evidence includes facts, reasonable assumptions predicated upon facts, and expert opinion supported by facts. If the City Council asks irrelevant questions and bases its decision-making on such questions, a court may overturn the City Council's decision and potentially hold the City liable for violating the applicant's constitutionally protected due process rights.

Pursuant to Government Code § 66474, a tentative map must be approved UNLESS the City Council can make specific findings for denial (see also SMC §§ 16.08.080 and

16.08.090). As set forth in the Resolution, there are no facts that would support findings for denial after Ordinance No. 1423 becomes effective. Thereafter, the project will comply with the BMC's zoning requirements and is consistent with the General Plan.

To approve the Map, the City Council must find that the Project meets the findings outlined in BMC § 16.08.070 (Tentative Maps -- Required Findings):

A. That the proposed Project is consistent with the Bellflower General Plan.

B. That the proposed Project is consistent with any applicable Planned Development.

C. That the proposed Project is consistent with the provisions of the Bellflower Municipal Code.

D. That the proposed Project is in the interest of public health and safety.

E. That the proposed Project is a necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area.

To approve the DR, the City Council must find that the Project meets the findings outlined in Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") § 17.80.040 (Findings Required):

A. That the proposal is consistent with the Bellflower General Plan and this Code.

B. That the design of the proposal is appropriate to the City, the neighborhood, and the lot on which it is proposed; and
C. That the design of the proposal is compatible with its environment with respect to use, forms, materials, colors, setbacks, location, height, design, or similar qualities as specified in § 17.80.010.

TYPE OF ACTION (LEGISLATIVE_ AND QUASI-JUDICIAL] – Continued To approve the SDR, the City Council must find that the Project meets the findings outlined in BMC § 17.50.060 (Site Design Review—Findings for Approval):

A. That the proposed Project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and adjacent properties,
B. That the proposed Project incorporates superior site design techniques that demonstrate innovative and creative utilization of design principles.

C. That the proposed Project demonstrates superior architecture and the use of high- quality building materials, building fixtures and architectural treatments, and amenities.

D. That the proposed Project has open space that is designed in a manner where the open space is functional and is grouped in a manner that maximizes the appearance and use of open space.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no identifiable cost to the City associated with approving this Project. It is anticipated that the City may benefit from increased revenues from property taxes collected for the residential units. Additionally, new residents may provide an increase in sales tax.

PUBLIC NOTICE
A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Los Cerritos Community News newspaper on January 13, 2023. Public hearing notices were sent on January 11, 2023 to 39 property owners within a 300' radius of the Project area and posted at City Hall, Bellflower Substation, Thompson Park, Simms Park, and Caruthers Park. A public hearing notice was also posted on the subject site on January 12, 2023. As of the writing of this staff report, the City has not received any correspondence.

CEQA STATUS
The actions in adopting the Resolution and Ordinance are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, of seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15532, Class 32 (in -Fill Development Projects). The proposed Project consists of an in -fill development that is consistent with the applicable general plan designation, general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The Project Site is less than five acres, surrounded by urban uses and has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The Project would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and it can be adequately served by a I I required utilities and public services.

CITY OF BELLFLOWER
ORDINANCE NO. 1423
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A ZONE CHANGE (ZC 22-02) FROM R-1 (LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONE) TO R-1 PD (LOW DENSITY

RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT) ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10343-10351 MAPLEDALE STREET AND

AMENDING THE ZONING MAP
THE CITY COUNCIL DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. On May 18, 2022, Samir Hijazi of Archissance ("Applicant") filed an application for Development Review for the construction of eight, two-story, single-family dwelling units; a Tentative Map to allow the subdivision of a 41,17'4 -square foot lot into eight lots; a Zone Change to change the zone from R-1 (Low Density Residential Zone) to R-1 PD (Low Density Residential Planned Development Overlay District); and a Site Design Review to allow flexibility of the R-1 Zone development standards;
B. The Application was reviewed by the Director for, in part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC"); C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA"), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15004, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines"), and the City's Environmental Guidelines ("Bellflower Guidelines"; CEQA, CEQA Guidelines and Bellflower Guidelines collectively referred to as "CEQA Regulations"); D. The Director completed review and scheduled public hearings regarding the application before the Planning Commission on December 5, 2022, and before the City Council on January 23, 2023;
E. Notices of Public Hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council were duly given and published in the time, form, and manner as required by law;
F. On December 5, 2022, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 22-14 recommending the City Council approve DR -5-2213065, Map No. 83812, ZC 22-02, and SDR 22-01;
G. On January 23, 2023, the City Council opened a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the application including, without limitation, information provided to the City Council by the Applicant; and H. The City Council considered the information provided by the Director, public testimony, and the Applicant. This Ordinance, and its findings were made based upon the entirety of the administrative record including without limitation, evidence presented to the City Council at its January 23, 2023, hearings. —26— Page 1 of 5

Ordinance No, 1423

SECTION 2. General Plan and Zoning. The proposed project conforms with the City's General Plan and Title 17 (Zoning) of the BMC as follows; A. The Land Use Designation of the project site is "L" (Low Density Residential).

Moreover, the proposed project is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan fund Use Element:

General Plan Land Use Element - General Goal 2 (Create a City that functions efficiently, is aesthetically pleasing, and makes the best use of its various resources); and

B. The project is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element:

1. General Plan Housing Element – Goal 5, Policy 5.1 (Provide a range of housing types, including low density single-family dwelling units and moderate density townhomes in order to address the City's share of Regional Housing Needs and Assessment (RHNA)); and

2. Policy 5.3 (Encourage infill development and reuse of underutilized land, where reuse is consistent with the desired neighborhood character).

C. The BMC zoning classification for the project site is R-1 (Low Density Residential) which allows Planned Developments.

SECTION 3. Environmental Assessment. Because of the facts identified in Section 2 of this Resolution, the proposed project is categorically exempt from additional environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et. seq., "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, §§ 15004, et. seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15332 — In -Fill Development Projects} because the proposed Project consists of an in -fill development that is consistent with the applicable general plan designation, general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The Project Site is less than five acres, surrounded by urban uses and has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The Project would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and it can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Furthermore, it can be seen with certainty that no special circumstances exist that would create a reasonable possibility that the proposed Project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment.

SECTION 4. Notice of Exemption. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to file a Notice of Exemption in accordance with CEQA §15062; and any other applicable law. Use exemption language.

SECTION 5. Zone Change Findings. Pursuant to BMC § 17.104.430, the City Council mattes the following findings:

A. There are changed conditions since the existing zoning became effective to warrant other or additional zoning.

The current zoning designation for the subject property is R-1 (Low Density Residential Zone). In order to subdivide this property into eight lots with only two lots having street frontage, BMC §17.60.030 requires the Planned Development Overlay Zone designation to be appended to the base zoning on the official zoning map. Once changed, the official zoning designation for this property will be R-1 PD (Low Density Residential Planned Development Overlay District) and will show as R-1 (PD) on the official zoning map. Lastly, the proposed Zone Change preserves the existing R-1 zone character because it is a zoning overlay to allow an individual residential style subdivision project.

B. Proposed change of zone will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value or precedent, and will not be detrimental to the area.

The proposed Zone Change will not adversely affect adjoining properties as to value or precedent and will not be detrimental to the area because it will allow for a community to be developed based on the standards of the underlying and adjacent R-1 zone properties, with the exception of flexibility to the street frontages, more concrete in the front yard and reduced landscape in the front yard for specific units/lots within the project. Furthermore, the development proposes multiple individual homes that are similar to other developments currently in the area and in the city. For these reasons, the proposed Zone Change from R1 to R-1 PD is compatible with other properties in the neighborhood and other Planned Developments in the city.

C. The change of zone will be in the interest or furtherance of public health, safety and general welfare.

The change of zone from R-1 to R-1 PD, will allow the lot to be subdivided to be sold to different homeowners and in the interest or furtherance of public health, safety and general welfare, each property has been designed to maintain elements of a single-family style dwelling unit, is adequately accessible to emergency vehicles and personnel, and is aesthetically pleasing.

Furthermore, the project creates new housing designed to be compatible with the existing zoning and the proposed project increases homeownership opportunities.

D. That the approval of such change of zone will not adversely affect the Comprehensive Zoning Plan being prepared for the City, or as adopted.

The proposed Zone Change is consistent with other developments zoned R-1 PD in the area and in the community, and with the Low -Density Residential Land Use Designation and does not increase the density of the subject property. Furthermore, as set forth in § 2 of this Resolution, the proposed Zone Change is consistent with the applicable General Plan.

Ordinance No, 1423

Page 4 of 5 ends

SECTION 6. Approval. Based on the foregoing, the City Council approves Zone Change Case No. ZC 20-02 to change the zone to R1—PD (Law Density Residential Planned Development Overlay District) on property located at 14343-10351 Mapledale Street as set forth in attached Exhibit "A" Zone Change Map which is incorporated by reference.

SECTION 7. Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council's intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 8. Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the Bellflower Municipal Code does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.

SECTION 9. Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the matter. The determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 14. Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 11. Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 12. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 13. Publications. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within 15 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law. —29—

PROJECT ANALYSIS
Development Review: Pursuant to BMC § 17.80.020(A)(5) (Improvements Subject to Development Review), the proposed building is subject to Development Review by the Planning Director, or designee. However, pursuant to BMC § 17.80.030(C), (Development Review Procedures for Improvements Listed in § 17.80.020 (A)), when a development review application requires other approvals by the City, such as a variance, conditional use permit, subdivision or zone change, the development review will occur concurrently with the Planning Commission's review of the other requests, to expedite the development process. As conditioned, the project meets all the findings, as outlined in Resolution No. PC 22-14 (Attachment A).

Tentative Tract Map: Pursuant to BMC Chapter 16.08 (Tentative Maps), prior to approving a Tentative Map, it must be determined that the map complies with the Code and that the —36— project meets all of the findings outlined in BMC § 16.08.070. Furthermore, pursuant to

Staff Report --10343-10351 Mapledale Street
December 5, 2022

Page 5 of 7 ends

BMG §§ 16.08.080 and 16.08.090 and Government Code § 65474, the Planning Commission must find that none of the mandatory or additional findings for denial are present with this project. By subdividing the existing lot, it would allow each lot to be sold separately. As conditioned, the project meets all the findings, as outlined in Resolution No. PC 22-14 (Attachment A).

Zone Change: Pursuant to BMC Chapter 17.60, a Zone Change from R-1 (Low Density Residential) to R-1 PD (Low Density Residential Planned Development Overlay District) is required for this project in order to vary from the provisions of the Zoning and/or Subdivision Ordinances. Prior to approval of the Zone Change, the Planning Commission must find that the project complies with the provisions of the Planned Development Overlay Zone, and may recommend approval of the Site Design Review to the City Council.

Site Design_ Review. Pursuant to BMC §17.60.010 (P -D Planned Development Overlay District — Purpose and Intent), a Planned Development, through the approval of a Site Design Review, is intended to allow for flexibility with respect to the underlying development standards. The Applicant is requesting flexibility on street frontage (BMC §17.04.070), concrete area within front yard setback (BMC §17.24.070.B.), and reduced landscaping within front yard setbacks (BMC §17.24.184). Review and justification of the proposed modifications are explained further in the following paragraphs:

1. Street Frontage (Lots 3 - 8): The PD will allow for the subject site to be subdivided into eight separate lots. Lots 3-8 will not have the required street frontage. By requesting an eight -lot subdivision, each of the individual lots could be sold to independent homeowners. if the PD is not approved, the lot could still be developed with eight units.

2. Maximum Allowable Concrete Area Within Front Yard Setback (Lots 1 - 8): The paved areas within the front yards of all units can be justified, in that the designated front yards are either: 1) used as the common driveway which provides access to all lots, 2) used as parking spaces to meet the parking requirement, or 3} used as a walkway for the homes for safety and to create an inviting entry and enhance curb appeal.

3. Landscaped Front Yard Setbacks (Lots I - 8): Typical single-family developments require landscaped front yards. However, reduced landscape within the front yard for all the homes is justified, in that the area is used for parking and driveway purposes.

Pursuant to BMC 17.50.050, after the Planning Commission reviews the application for compliance with the provisions of the Planned Development Overlay Zone, then the Planning Commission must make a recommendation to the City Council. The approval would be based on meeting all of the findings outlined in BMC §17.60.054. As conditioned, the project meets all findings, as outlined in Resolution No. PC 22-14 (Attachment A).

General Plan and Zoning: Based on the General Plan and Zoning density requirements for the site, the subject site is allowed to be developed with a maximum of eight units. The proposed development does not exceed the allotted density for the property as prescribed in the Bellflower General Plan and the development standards of the R-1 zone. Therefore, the proposed development complies with the allotted density for the area and is consistent with the development provisions of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as outlined —37— in Resolution No. PC 22-14 (Attachment A).

This Resolution, and its findings, are made based upon the evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its December 5, 2022 hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Department of Planning and Building Services.

SECTION 2. Factual Findings and Conclusions. The Planning Commission finds that the following facts exist:

A. The Applicant seeks approval of Development Review to allow for the construction of eight, detached, 2 -story, single-family residences with attached garages; a Tentative Tract Map to allow the subdivision of a 41,174 -square foot lot into eight lots; a Zone Change to allow the zone change from R-1 (Low Density Residential Zone) to R-1 PD (Low Density Residential Planned Development Overlay District); and a Site Design Review to allow flexibility of the R-1 Zone development standards;
B. Pursuant to the purpose and intent of the Planned Development Overlay District (BMC §§ 17.60.010 and 17.60.070), the Applicant is requesting to vary from the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance for the fallowing development standards:
absence of street frontage for Lots 3 -8; more than 40% concrete area within the front yards for all lots; absence/reduced landscaping within the front yard for all lots;
C. The Project Site is currently improved with two detached dwelling units that are proposed to be demolished;
D. The Project Site is accessible from Mapledale Street, a 60 -foot wide local street;
E. The Project Site is located within the R-1 (Low Density Residential) zone, with a General Plan Land Use Designation of "L" (Low Density Residential); and F. The Project Site is bounded to the north by Public Uses (P) Zone and developed with an elementary school. To the south, the properties are zoned Single -Family Residential (SF), which includes four separate lots with a home on each lot. To the west, the property is zoned Low Density Residential (R-1) and developed with a multifamily lot with three dwelling units, and to the east, the properties are zoned Low Density Residential (R-1), which includes two separate lots with one home on each lot.

SECTION 3. Environmental Assessment. Pursuant to the authority and criteria of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an environmental assessment has been conducted for this Project. This Project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt (Class 32, Section 15332 — In -Fill Development Projects) because the proposed Project consists of an in -fill development that is consistent with the applicable general plan designation, general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The Project Site is less than five acres, surrounded by urban uses and has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The Project would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and it can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

The Project proposes Italianate and Tuscan influenced architectural. Features include 2 -story building heights, pitched roofs, decorative brackets and trims, window shutters, small and large entry porches, veneer stone material, varied exterior building colors, and balconies with metal railings. Additional exterior materials include stucco, wood siding, wood trim around windows, and wood corbels under the roof eaves. There are existing 2 -story Planned Developments and a 2 -story apartment on nearby cross streets that make the proposal compatible with its environment.

SECTION 6. Tentative Map Findings. Pursuant to BMC §§ 16.08.080 and 16.08.090 and Government Code § 66474, the Planning Commission finds that none of the mandatory or additional findings for denial are present with this project. Further, pursuant to BMC §

SECTION 7. Zone Change Findings. Pursuant to BMC § 17.104.030 (Required Findings for Change of Zone), the Planning Commission finds as follows:

A. That there are changed conditions since the existing zoning became effective to warrant other or additional zoning.

The current zoning designation for the subject property is R-1 (Low Density Residential Zone). In order to subdivide this property into eight different lots to be sold separately, BMC §17.60.030 requires the Planned Development Overlay Zone (PD) designation to be appended to the base zoning on the official zoning map. Once changed, the official zoning designation for this property will be R-1 PD (Low Density Residential Planned Development Overlay District). The proposed Zone Change preserves the existing R-1 zone character because it is a zoning overlay to allow a single-family residential subdivision project.

B. That the proposed change of zone will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value or precedent, and will not be detrimental to the area.

The proposed Zone Change will not adversely affect adjoining properties as to value or precedent and will not be detrimental to the area because it will allow for a controlled community to be developed based on the standards of the underlying and adjacent R-1 zone properties, with the exception of flexibility to the street frontages, more concrete in the front yard and reduced landscape in the front yard for specific units/lots within the project. Furthermore, the development proposes multiple single family homes that is similar to other developments currently in the area and in the city. For these reasons, the proposed Zone Change from R1 to R-1 PD is compatible with other properties in the neighborhood and other Planned Developments in the city.

C. That the change of zone will be in the interest or furtherance of public health, safety and general welfare.

The proposed Zone Change from R-1 to R-1 PD, will allow the lot to be subdivided to be sold to different homeowners and in the interest or furtherance of public health, safety and general welfare, each property has been designed to maintain elements of a single-family dwelling unit, is adequately accessible to emergency vehicles and personnel, and is aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the project creates new housing designed to be compatible with the existing zoning and the proposed project increases homeownership opportunities.

D. That the approval of such change of zone will not adversely affect the Comprehensive Zoning Plan being prepared for the City, or as adopted.

Furthermore, as set forth in § 8 of this Resolution, the proposed Zone Change is consistent with the applicable General Plan.

A. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and adjacent properties.

The development proposes multiple single family homes that is similar to the developments currently in the area and in the city and will be conditioned and developed under the R-1 zone development standards with the exception of flexibility from the following: absence of street frontage for Lots 1 & 2; more than 40% concrete area within the front yards for all lots; and reduced landscaping within the front yard for all lots. For these reasons, the proposed Project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood (e.g. other Planned Developments) and adjacent properties (e.g. single-family homes and multifamily homes).

B. That the proposed project incorporates superior site design techniques that demonstrate innovative and creative utilization of design principles.

C. That the proposed project demonstrates superior architecture and the use of high-quality building materials, building fixtures and architectural treatments and amenities.

The proposed architectural theme for the project is italianate and Tuscan influenced; features include 2 -story building heights, pitched roofs, decorative brackets and trims, window shutters, small and large entry porches, veneer stone material and balconies with metal railings. Additional exterior materials include stucco, wood siding, wood trim around windows, and wood corbels under the roof eaves.

D. That the proposed project has open space that is designed in a manner where the open space is functional and is grouped in a manner that maximizes the appearance and use of open space.

As proposed, the project includes large back yards (e.g. private open space) for each lot. In addition, Lots 1 and 2 also have sufficient street sidelfront yards. The total private open space within the development is in the form of landscapeiprivate areas of approximately 13,092.25 total square feet and balconies and porches which is approximately 1,301.52 total square feet. —44—

SECTION 9. Recommendation. Subject to the conditions set forth in the attached "Exhibit A," which are incorporated by reference, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve Development Review Case No. DR -5-22-13065, Tentative Tract Map No. TT 83812, Zone Change Case No. ZC 22-02, and Site Design Review Case No.

SDR 22-01.

SECTION 10. Attached hereto as Exhibit S is a locator map indicating the subject site and the proposed Zone Change from R-1 (Low Density Residential Zone) to R-1 PD (Low Density Residential Planned Development Overlay District), SECTION 11. Construction. This Resolution roust be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the Planning Commission's intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 12. Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 13. Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the Planning Commission's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues.

The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 14. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Planning Commission intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provision or application and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

SECTION 15. Preservation. This Resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Resolution's effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.

SECTION 16. This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent resolution.

SECTION 17.' This Resolution is the Planning Commission's final decision and will become effective immediately upon adoption and remain effective unless the action is appealed within ten days pursuant to BMC §§ 17.96 and 17.112.

SECTION 18. The Planning Commission Secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to the Applicant and to any other person requesting a copy. -45-

11-A
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 1) adopt Resolution No. 23-05 – A Resolution to adjust the meeting stipends for the various City Commissions and superseding Resolution No. 99-98; and 2) discuss and provide direction regarding the manner in which members of the City Council appoint members of the Planning, Parks and Recreation and Public Safety Commissions.

DATE: January 23, 2023

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This item has been placed on the agenda at the request of Mayor Santa Ines and Council Member Dunton. First, Council Member Dunton has requested a review of the stipends paid to current commissioners and to consider a $50 increase to the meeting stipends paid to all City commissioners. Commission stipends were last adjusted on January 13, 2000, per Resolution No. 99-98. Second, Mayor Santa Ines is seeking City Council review of the current practices used to appoint Commissioners. Specifically, the Mayor is seeking direction on whether or not the Council seeks to institute a requirement of each Council Member appointing prospective Commissioners from the confines of their respective districts. Because the imposition of Council Member districts is relatively new in the City of Bellflower, this is an issue that has not previously been contemplated or resolved.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Discuss and provide direction regarding the request by Mayor Santa Ines relative to a potential requirement to appoint prospective commissioners who reside within the district of each appointing City Council Member; and

2) Discuss and take action regarding the request by Council Member Dunton to increase the stipends of current members of the Planning, Parks and Recreation, and Public Safety Commissions by adopting Resolution No. 23-05; or

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

Staff Report – City Council Commission Appointments and Stipends January 23, 2023

Page 2 of 3 ends

FISCAL IMPACT

Currently, Planning Commissioners receive a $100 meeting stipend and meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month; the Public Safety Commissioners receive a $50 meeting stipend and meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month; and the Parks & Recreation Commissioners receive a $50 meeting stipend and meet on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Planning, Public Safety, and Parks & Recreation Commissions have five members each. (Stipends are paid pursuant to Resolution No. 99-98, adopted January 13, 2000.)

The fiscal impact is $18,000 maximum per year based on the current commission stipend amounts. A $50 increase for each Commissioner would add an additional cost of $12,000 annually maximum, for the maximum annual total of $30,000 – assuming all monthly meetings are held and all commissioners are present at the meetings.

BACKGROUND

Biennially, following the conduct of a General Municipal Election, members need to be appointed or reappointed to various current City Boards, Commissions, and Committees:

Planning, Parks and Recreation, and Public Safety Commissions. There are no Boards or Committees appointed by the City Council at this time.

Past practice of the City Council is to ratify the selections of each Council Member when appointing/re-appointing commissioners for a new term or when a vacancy occurs on one of the commissions.

DISCUSSION

Currently, Planning Commissioners receive a $100 stipend for each regular meeting attended, not to exceed $200 per month. Public Safety Commissioners and Parks and Recreation Commissioners receive a $50 stipend for each regular meeting attended, not to exceed $50 per month. Commission stipends were last adjusted on January 13, 2000 with the adoption of Resolution No. 99-98. Adopting Resolution No. 23-05 would:
(1) increase the Planning Commissioners’ stipends to $150 for each regular meeting attended, not to exceed $300 per month; and (2) increase the Public Safety Commissioners’ and Parks and Recreation Commissioners’ stipend to $100 for each regular meeting attended, not to exceed $100 per month.

Second, Mayor Santa Ines is seeking City Council review of the current practices used to appoint Commissioners. Specifically, the Mayor is seeking direction on whether or not the Council seeks to institute a requirement of each Council Member appointing prospective Commissioners from the confines of their respective districts. Because the imposition of Council Member districts is relatively new in the City of Bellflower, this is an issue that has not previously been contemplated or resolved.

Additionally, to facilitate the application process, Staff has developed the attached Draft Application for City Council consideration. Additional documents, such as a resume or personal references, can be required at the Council’s option.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

The Honorable Board of Directors of the
Bellflower Financing Authority
Bellflower, California

Opinions

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of the Bellflower Financing Authority (the Authority), a component unit of the City of Bellflower, California as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the major fund of the Authority as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in its financial position for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Authority, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

P. 6 of 41

2 OFFICES: BEVERLY HILLS ∙ CULVER CITY ∙ SANTA MARIA

MEMBER AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF C.P.A.’S ∙ CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE OFFICERS ∙ CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS OFFICIALS

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.

Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and the schedule of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance – budget and actual – general fund, identified as Required Supplementary Information (RSI) in the accompanying table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s P. 7 of 41

3 OFFICES: BEVERLY HILLS ∙ CULVER CITY ∙ SANTA MARIA

MEMBER AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF C.P.A.’S ∙ CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE OFFICERS ∙ CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS OFFICIALS

responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements. The Transportation Bonds Project Supplemental Schedule is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Transportation Bonds Project Supplemental Schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 17, 2023, on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

4 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

As management of the Bellflower Financing Authority (Authority), we offer readers of the Authority’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Authority for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. We encourage the readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information furnished in the accompanying basic financial statements.

Overview of the Financial Statements

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority’s basic financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) Government-Wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements and 3) Notes to the Financial Statements.

Government-Wide Financial Statements

These statements are designed to provide information about the activities of the Authority as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Authority’s finances. They are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private sector companies.

The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the Authority’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources reported as net position. In time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Authority is improving or deteriorating.

The Statement of Activities presents information on how the Authority’s net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.

In both the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, only the Authority’s basic governmental activities, such as principal and interest payments on certificates of participation and a note payable, are reported. The lease payments received from the City of Bellflower (City), a billboard and an oil booster pumping station are generally sufficient to finance the activities.

The Authority does not have any other business-type activities or separate component units. As referred to in Note 1 of the notes to the basic financial statements, the Authority conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.

Fund Financial Statements

The Fund Financial Statements, in general, provide detailed information about the most significant individual funds – not the Authority as a whole. A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives.

The Authority, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. While funds can be divided into three categories (governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary), the Authority’s activities only require the maintenance of a debt service fund (a governmental fund).

P. 9 of 41

5 Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near- term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.

By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the Authority’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

The Authority only maintains one governmental fund (debt service fund). This fund reports financial transactions using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting. This information is presented in the Governmental Fund – Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund – Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance. On behalf of the Authority, the City Council adopts an annual appropriated budget for the debt service fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.

Proprietary funds are primarily used to account for when a reporting entity charges for the services it provides, whether to outside customers or to other units of the entity. These funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, using an accrual basis of accounting. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the reporting entity. In these cases, the entity has a fiduciary responsibility and is acting as a trustee. The Statement of Fiduciary Net Position separately reports all of the entity’s fiduciary activities. These activities are excluded from the entity’s other financial statements because the entity cannot use these assets to finance its operations. However, the entity is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.

The Authority does not maintain any proprietary or fiduciary funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

The Authority’s Government-Wide total net position at June 30, 2022 was $198,381. Of this amount, $208,377 was for net investment in capital assets and $9,996 was an unrestricted deficit.

The net position for net investment in capital assets represents the net book value of the Authority’s capital assets less the outstanding balance of the debt issued to finance the assets.

On the other hand, the deficit in unrestricted net position represents a shortage in assets needed to cover the accrued interest on a note payable. Funding for any shortage at the time of a debt service payment due date will be provided by the City’s General Fund. The Authority’s assets totaled $15.1 million, comprised of $5 thousand in cash and investments, $1.1 million in current lease and accrued interest receivables, $13.1 million in long-term lease receivable, and $993 thousand in capital assets. The Authority’s liabilities totaled $14.6 million, comprised of the 2021 Certificates of Participation of $13.7 million (transportation portion of $7.9 million and water system portion of $5.8 million), a note payable of $784 thousand, and the related accrued interest payable of $127 thousand. Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 87, the pumping station lease valued at $284 thousand is reported as deferred inflows of resources and the corresponding receivable is included in the current assets.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE AUTHORITY’S FUND

As noted earlier, the Authority uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.

Governmental Fund. The focus of the Authority’s governmental fund is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Authority’s financing requirements. Under GASB Statement No. 54, any available fund balance is classified as restricted to reflect its constraint for a specific purpose, namely capital assets and debt service.

At the end of the fiscal year, the Authority’s fund balance reserved for debt service was $1 thousand.

Governmental Revenues – The following table presents a summary of governmental fund revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year revenues.

The total revenues of the governmental fund for fiscal year 2021-22 were $1.5 million, an increase of $503 thousand, or 53%, from the preceding fiscal year. The lease revenue included amounts received from the City’s Municipal Water System, Propositions A and C local return funds, and two ground leases. The lease revenue increased $501 thousand, other revenue increased $2 thousand and investment earnings decreased $109 compared to the preceding fiscal year.

Governmental Expenditures – The following table presents a summary of governmental fund expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to the prior year expenditures.

The total expenditures of the governmental fund for fiscal year 2021-22 were $1.5 million for debt service on the 2021 Certificates of Participation and a note payable to MTB Enterprises, LLC (note executed in connection with the Butterfly Garden property acquisition), and payment of trustee fees. The total expenditures decreased $202 thousand, or 12%, from the preceding fiscal year.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The Authority was organized in 2006 to undertake the financing of public capital improvements and other projects for revitalization of the City. The sources of repayment for the transportation portion of the Certificates of Participation are Proposition A and Proposition C local return funds and, if necessary, Measure M and Measure R local return funds (Proposition A/C and Measure M/R are Los Angeles Countywide sale taxes). We believe the local return funds will continue to be sufficient to make the semi-annual debt service payments. The sources of repayment for the note payable to MTB Enterprises, LLC are ground lease revenues for a billboard and an oil booster pumping station and, if necessary, the City’s General Fund revenue. We believe these revenues will continue to be sufficient to make the semi-annual debt service payments.

Net change in fund balances of governmental fund (15,351)$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to the governmental fund, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of the governmental fund. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. The amounts are the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt:

Repayment of certificates of participation 1,035,000
Repayment of note payable 35,471
The governmental fund reports capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.(1,022)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities do not provide current financial resources and are not reported as revenues in the governmental fund:

Receipt of lease payment and earned finance charge (1,019,370) Under the modified accrual basis of accounting used in the governmental fund, revenues are recognized when the resources are measurable and become available, and interest on long-term debt is not recognized until it is due.

However, in the Statement of Activities revenues and changes in interest revenue and interest expenses are recognized in the current fiscal year:

Accrued lease interest receivable under the accrual method versus the modified accrual method (33,777)
Interest expense recorded under the accrual method versus the modified accrual method 34,505

NOTE 1 REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Financial Reporting Entity:

The Bellflower Financing Authority (Authority) was organized on June 26, 2006, by the City of Bellflower (the City) and the Bellflower Redevelopment Agency pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (California Government Code Sections 6500, et seq.) to provide the financing of public capital improvements and other projects for revitalization of the City. The Authority is a component unit of the City and is accounted for in the Public Facilities Corporation Debt Service Fund and the Transportation Bond Project Debt Service Fund in the City’s financial statements.

The Authority functions as a separate entity and its policies are determined by the Board of Directors comprised solely of the members of the City Council. All staff work is performed by the officials and staff of the City or by consultants.

Basis of Presentation:

The accounting policies of the Authority conform to accounting principles generally accepted the United States of America as they are applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.

Government-Wide Financial Statements:

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government (the Authority). Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The Authority’s activities are governmental; no business-type activities are reported in the statements.

The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are expenses that are clearly identifiable with a specific program, project, function or segment. The Authority does not allocate indirect expenses to functions in the Statement of Activities. Program revenues of the Authority include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.

Lease revenues and investment income and other items that are properly not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

NOTE 1 REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Fund Financial Statements:

The accounts of the Authority are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Authority resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The Authority’s accounts are organized into one major fund as follows:

Major Governmental Fund:

The General Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs.

The accounting and financial treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus.

All governmental funds are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for these funds, present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting:

The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources’ measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources’ measurement focus, all (both current and long-term) economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the current financial resources’ measurement focus only current assets, deferred outflows of resources, current liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources”. Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance.

NOTE 1 REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables in governmental funds are reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus.

Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by noncurrent receivables are deferred inflows of resources until they become available.

Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Lease revenue and investment earnings are susceptible to accrual. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term liabilities which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Proceeds of long-term liabilities are reported as other financing sources. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources:

In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position and the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Authority does not have any deferred outflows of resources to report.

In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position and the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Authority has two items that qualifies for reporting in this category on the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet consisting of unavailable revenue on lease financing and unavailable revenue on lease payments.

Budgets and Budgetary Accounting:

Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for all governmental funds.

These budgets are revised by the Authority’s governing board and the Executive Director during the fiscal year, to give consideration to unanticipated income and expenditures.

Prior Year Data:

Selected information regarding the prior year has been included in the accompanying financial statements. This information has been included for comparison purposes only and does not represent a complete presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the Authority’s prior year financial statements, from which this selected financial data was derived.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from the estimates.

Assets, Liabilities, and Equity:

Cash and Investments:

Cash includes all demand accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposits of the Authority. The Authority’s cash and investments, with the exception of cash and investments with fiscal agent, are pooled with the City to maximize the yield. Investments are reported in the accompanying financial statements at fair value which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Receivables:

In the government-wide statements, receivables consist of all revenues earned at fiscal year-end.

Major receivable balances for the governmental activities include lease charges. Under the financing method of accounting for the lease with the City, the minimum lease payable for the remaining term of the lease has been included in the assets of the Authority.

Capital Assets:

Capital assets, which include land and buildings and improvements, follow the City’s policy and are reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide financial statements.

Capital assets are defined by the Authority as assets with a cost of $2,400 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such capital assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the capital asset or materially extend capital asset lives are not capitalized.

NOTE 1 REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Capital assets of the Authority are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives: The Authority only has Buildings and improvements which have a useful life of 20 to 50 years.

Long-term Liabilities:

The accounting treatment of long-term liabilities depends on whether it is reported in the government-wide or fund financial statements.

All long-term liabilities to be repaid from governmental resources are reported as liabilities in the government-wide statements. The long-term liabilities consist of Certificates of Participation and a Note Payable.

Long-term liabilities for governmental funds are not reported as liabilities in the fund financial statements. The debt proceeds are reported as other financing sources and payment of principal, interest, and issuance costs are reported as expenditures.

Equity Classifications:

Government-wide Statements:

Equity is classified as net position which can be further classified as net investment in capital assets, restricted, or unrestricted.

Net investment in capital assets - consists of net position represented by the current net book value of the Authority’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.

Restricted net position - consists of net position with constraints placed on the use either by (1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted - consists of net position which is not restricted or invested in capital assets.

Sometimes the Authority will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted - net position and unrestricted - net position in the government-wide financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Authority’s practice to consider restricted - net position to have been depleted before unrestricted - net position is applied.

Fund Statements:

Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance. Fund balance is further classified as follows:

Nonspendable - amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted - amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.

Committed - amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action of the governing board as the highest level of decision-making authority for the Authority.

Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through resolutions approved by the governing board.

Assigned - amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed but that are intended to be used for specific purposes. Under the Authority’s adopted policy, only the governing board or director may assign amounts for specific purposes.

Unassigned - all other spendable amounts.

When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the Authority considers restricted funds to have been spent first. When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balance are available, the Authority considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds, as needed, unless the governing board has provided otherwise in its commitment or assignment actions.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Authority manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flows and liquidity needed for operations. The Authority had no investments as of June 30, 2022.

Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations:

The Authority has no investments (including investments held by bond trustees) that are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk:

Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Authority had no investments as of June 30, 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

The investment policy of the Authority contains limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. No investments in any one issuer represents 5% or more of total Authority investments.

Custodial Credit Risk:

Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the Authority’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits. The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposit made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure Authority deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The Authority pools its cash with the City of Bellflower.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Authority categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

The Authority had no investments subject to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 3 PUMPING STATION LEASE RECEIVABLE:

The Authority recognized a lease in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Account Statement #87 “Leases” which was implemented during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022 the Authority has recorded a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of $283,690.

In July 2020, the Authority entered into a land lease with Cardinal Pipeline, LP for usage of real property for a booster pumping station commencing on May 1, 2020. The lease was retroactive to April 20, 2015 and will remain in place until July 13, 2025. At the sole discretion of the Authority, the lease may be extended for an additional five years with the lease expiring in May 2030.

Commencing on May 1, 2020, the rent will increase by the annual increase in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for Urban Wage and Clerical Wages (1982- 1984=100) in Los Angeles – Long Beach – Anaheim area for the month of February of the anniversary year with a maximum increase of 5%.

2021 Certificates of Participation:

On February 22, 2021, the Bellflower Financing Authority (Authority) issued the 2021 Certificates of Participation in the amount of $14,760,000 to pay off the 2008 Certificates of Participation, the 2018 Certificates of Participation, and to pay the costs of issuance of the 2021 Refunding Certificates of Participation.

The Authority assisted the City to (a) finance the costs of acquiring the City’s water system through the execution and delivery of the City of Bellflower 2008 Certificates of Participation (Water System) and (b) finance the Regional Transit Center and Parking Structure through the execution and delivery of the City of Bellflower 2018 Certificates of Participation (Regional Transit and Parking Structure) and the Authority and the City have entered into a lease agreement dated February 1, 2021 to lease certain property consisting of the City’s Civic Center and Thompson Park to the Authority. The City has agreed to lease the real property consisting of the land and building comprising the City’s Civic Center.

The 2021 Refunding Certificates of Participation shall mature on October 1, 2038, and shall bear interest at the rate of 2.30% per annum. The certificates maturing on October 1, 2038, shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund prepayment prior to maturity at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount to be repaid plus accrued interest with respect thereto to the prepayment date, on October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2021.

The 2021 Refunding Certificates of Participation may be prepaid before maturity on any date on and after April 1, 2031, at the option of the City exercised by notification at least 30 days prior to the scheduled prepayment date. In addition, an amount not exceeding 90% of then outstanding principal amount may be prepaid in whole or in part before the maturity on any date, at the option of the City, from moneys obtained by the City from the full or any partial sale of the City’s water system with at least 30 days prior notification. The balance of the 2021 Certificate of Participation is $13,725,000 at June 30, 2022.

NOTE 6 LONG TERM LIABILITIES (Continued):

Note Payable:

On March 31, 2015, the City executed into a promissory note with MTB Enterprises, LLC for $995,000 to purchase real property for the Butterfly Garden. The note is secured by a deed of trust on the purchased property. Interest accrues at the annual rate of 4.125% with a principal and interest payments due on July 15, and January 15 of each fiscal year. In the event that during the term of the loan that the total rental income received by the City from the sign lease and the pumping station lease on the property exceed the predetermined principal and interest payments owed for any calendar year then the amount of excess rent will be paid by the City to MTB Enterprises, LLC to apply to the principal of the loan on or before February 15th of the year following the receipt of the excess rent. The City’s last one or more payments will be reduced to reflect that reduction in principal. The excess rent collected in fiscal year 2021-2022 that was paid in addition to the pre-determined principal amount was $5,361. The loan balance as of June 30, 2022, was $784,317.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED

ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

The Honorable Board of Directors of the
Bellflower Financing Authority
Bellflower, California

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of the Bellflower Financing Authority (the Authority), as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 17, 2023.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority's internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Authority’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.

However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.

P. 40 of 41

32 Report on Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
