Staff Report - Special Assessment for Nuisance Abatement – 15751 Blaine Ave.

August 12, 2024

Page 2 of 3 ends

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS

The vacant lot is approximately 12,160 square feet and is located at 15751 Blaine Avenue in the City of Bellflower (“City”) (Accessor Parcel Number 6271-031-015). At the beginning of September 2019, Code Enforcement began specific enforcement actions against the Property that included a series of notices and citations, including a due process Notice of Intent to Abate with City Personnel. This had no effect on the property owner’s, Mr. Womack’s, response or achievement of compliance. In August of 2021, after obtaining an abatement warrant, Code Enforcement brought the Property into substantial compliance.

Some improvements still needed to be made after the August 2021 abatement to bring the Property into complete compliance with BMC Chapter 8.40. On July 7, 2022, Code Enforcement mailed a 5-day notice to correct the violation on the Property regarding achieving full compliance, including clearing the overgrown vegetation, trash and debris that had accumulated due to a lack of basic maintenance. On or about July 17, 2023, the City Attorney’s Office mailed a “Notice of Public Nuisance and Intention to Abate with City Personnel” to the Owner’s registered Cypress address, which fulfilled the due process requirements of notice and opportunity to oppose abatement by the City.

By August 16, 2023, the Property remained a blight with overgrown vegetation and accumulation of trash and debris, in violation of the City’s vacant lot ordinances, specifically BMC §§ 8.40.030, 8.40.040, and 8.40.060. The City then obtained an abatement warrant from the Los Angeles County Superior Court authorizing the City to bring the Property into compliance. The City replaced the chain link fence along the alley on the south side of the lot with a white Kentucky fence, cleared all weeds, dead vegetation, litter, and debris, and replaced it with fresh ground over. The City has dedicated significant funds to bring the Property into substantial compliance with BMC Chapter 8.40.

After receiving no response from the owner on the City’s demand for payment, on February 12, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-10, authorizing the City to record a special tax assessment lien against the Property to recoup $87,992.89 in costs of abatement, which was recorded with the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office on May 3, 2024 (See Exhibit A). City staff thereafter became aware that some additional costs of abatement were inadvertently left out of that $87,992.89 total, including retention amounts withheld on the abatement contracts that were later paid by the City. This supplemental lien provides an opportunity for the City to not only recoup those retention amounts, but also recoup legal fees associated with recovering these abatement costs under both this resolution and the prior Resolution No. 24-10, altogether totaling $15,911.40 (See Exhibit B).

Staff Report - Special Assessment for Nuisance Abatement – 15751 Blaine Ave.

August 12, 2024

Page 3 of 3 ends

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS – Continued

On August 2, 2024, the City Attorney’s Office sent the property owner a “Notice of Supplemental Demand for Collection of Abatement Costs and Collection by Special Assessment” (“Notice of Special Assessment”). The Notice of Special Assessment informed the property owner of the additional costs as well as the opportunity to contest this demand to the City Council at this same meeting on August 12, 2024, where recording a lien against the Property to be collected by special assessment would be considered.

The City has not received any response from the property owner regarding the Notice of Special Assessment.

The City has the ability to recoup costs acquired from the abatement of nuisances present at the Property. “The remedies against a public nuisance are: … Abatement.” (Cal. Civ.

Cide § 3491 (emphasis added).) BMC § 8.36.200 provides, “persons failing to abate a public nuisance … will be obligated to pay all City expenses of abating the nuisance and all administrative costs associated therewith.” (BMC 8.36.200(A)). These funds may be obtained through the recordation of a notice of special assessment for nuisance abatement.

Government Code § 38773.1 established the procedure for imposing a nuisance abatement lien. As read, “A legislative body may by ordinance establish a procedure to collect abatement and related administrative costs by a nuisance abatement lien.” It is also provided for through California Civil Code §§ 3491 and 3494.5. “A public nuisance may be abated by any public body or officer authorized thereto by law.” Cal. Civ. Code § 3494. The authority to abate public nuisances is further provided in BMC § 8.36.040, reading, “All conditions or uses that constitute a public nuisance as defined in this chapter shall be abated by rehabilitation, demolition or repair, removal or termination. The procedures for abatement in this chapter shall not be exclusive and shall not limit the restrict the City from pursuing any other remedies available at…” (BMC § 8.38.040). “The City Manager, or designee, may initiate proceedings to record a lien.” (BMC § 1.14.240).

If adopted, the draft resolution would authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to impose an additional abatement lien on 15751 Blaine Avenue in the City of Bellflower to recoup the remaining $15,911.40 in abatement-related costs.

The property may be sold after three years by the tax collector for unpaid delinquent assessments. The tax collector's power of sale shall not be affected by the failure of the property owner to receive notice. The assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to the special assessment. However, if any real property to which the cost of abatement relates has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien of a bona fide encumbrance for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of the taxes would become delinquent, then
the cost of abatement shall not result in a lien against the real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.

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

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

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

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

Please be further advised that on February 12, 2024, at 7:00 p.m., a resolution will be brought before the Bellflower City Council at its regularly scheduled council meeting to authorize a special assessment for the collection of all abatement costs pursuant to BMC § 8.36.190. You are free to attend this meeting and be heard by the City Council on this matter, contest the amount of the lien being pursued, or otherwise challenge this resolution.

CITY OF BELLFLOWER

RESOLUTION NO. 24-45

A RESOLUTION TO RECORD A NOTICE OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENT

FOR NUISANCE ABATEMENT AGAINST THE OWNER OF
15751 BLAINE AVENUE (APN 6271-031-015)

THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

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

A. On May 13, 2019, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1375, which added Chapter 8.40 to the Bellflower Municipal Code, establishing vacant lots within the City must be maintained to certain aesthetic standards and the failure to do so amounted to a public nuisance;

B. 15751 Blaine Avenue is located in the City of Bellflower, State of California, and more particularly described as Assessor’s Parcel Number 6271-031- 015 (“Property”);

C. On May 13, 2019, the City declared the Property to be a public nuisance in violation of Chapter 8.40 of the Bellflower Municipal Code. In August of 2021 and August of 2023, the City abated the nuisances following a Notice of Public Nuisance and Intent to Abate (“Notice of Public Nuisance”) served on the registered Property owner, Bryan Womack, who has never responded to any notices from the City regarding the Property;

D. On February 12, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 24-10, to recoup costs related to abating public nuisances on the Property, totaling $87,992.39;

E. City staff thereafter became aware that some additional costs of abatement were inadvertently left out of that $87,992.89 total, including retention amounts withheld on the abatement contracts that were later paid by the City. This supplemental lien provides an opportunity for the City to recoup these retention fees as well as legal fees associated with recovering abatement costs under the prior Resolution No. 24-10, altogether totaling $15,911.40.

F. On August 2, 2024, the City Attorney’s Office sent the property owner a “Notice of Supplemental Demand for Collection of Abatement Costs and Collection by Special Assessment” (“Notice of Special Assessment”). The Notice of Special Assessment informed the property owner of the additional fees being demanded, as well as the date and time this Resolution would be heard for the opportunity to contest this demand to the City Council;

G. The City has not received any response from the property owner regarding the Notice of Special Assessment; and

City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 24-45

Page 2 of 3 ends

H. Pursuant to Government Code § 38773.5 and Bellflower Municipal Code § 8.36.190, the City may recoup its abatement related costs in the form of a lien against the Property to be collected by special assessment.

SECTION 2. Approval. The City Council approves, confirms and adopts the Statement attached as Exhibit “A,” and incorporated by reference, and determines that each such charge, totaling $15,911.40, is proper and correct. Such charges constitute a lien on the real property upon which the public nuisance was abated and will be collected as a special assessment against the real property.

SECTION 3. Authorization. The City Clerk is directed to:

A. Mail a copy of the Notice of Special Assessment attached as Exhibit “B,” and incorporated by reference, to the property owner by certified mail;

B. File a certified copy of this Resolution (with attachments) with the Los Angeles County Assessor and Treasurer and Tax Collector;

C. Submit a certified copy of this Resolution (with attachments) with the Los Angeles County Recorder for recordation, pursuant to Government Code § 38773.5;

D. Direct the Los Angeles County Assessor to enter the amount of the charge against the real property described in this Resolution on the current assessment rolls; and

E. Take any other action necessary to effectuate this Resolution.

SECTION 4. The Los Angeles County Assessor and Treasurer and Tax Collector are requested to record a public nuisance abatement lien against the Property pursuant to BMC § 8.36.200.

SECTION 5. This Resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation incurring 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.

Re: 15751 Blaine Ave. – Notice of Supplemental Demand for Collection of Abatement Costs and Collection by Special Assessment
APN 6271-031-015

Dear Mr. Womack:

This law firm serves as the City Attorney’s Office for the City of Bellflower (“City”), and I serve as its Deputy City Attorney. I am writing here with a supplemental demand for payment of $15,911.40 additional costs related to the City’s abatement of your vacant lot at 15751 Blaine Ave. (“Property”) to bring it into compliance with the vacant lot requirements of Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”) Chapter 8.40.

Beginning in 2019, the City’s Code Enforcement Division (“Code Enforcement”) initiated an enforcement action concerning the Property towards bringing it in compliance with the City’s vacant lot ordinance. This ordinance requires that vacant lots in the City be maintained according to certain enumerated standards. The City made numerous attempts to contact you for voluntary compliance via mail at your address registered with the County for this Property, including on the following occasions: June 21, 2019 (Notice of New Registration and Maintenance Requirements of Vacant Properties pursuant to BMC § 8.40.030(F) (Ordinance 1375)); September 16, 2019 (Notice of Violation of BMC § 8.40 (Ordinance 1375)); October 31, 2019 (Notice of Violation of BMC § 8.40 (Ordinance 1375)); February 19, 2020 (City Attorney Notice of Violation and Office Conference BMC § 8.40 (Ordinance 1375)); and March 11, 2021 (Final Notice of Violation and Intent to Abate with City Personnel).

4862-7401-5902 v1
Between the dates of August 16-26, 2021, the City engaged in abating your Property pursuant to the abatement warrant, costing $26,257.85.

Some improvements still remained for complete compliance with Chapter 8.40, including landscape in the setback between Blaine Avenue and the fencing, and replacing the chain link fencing on the South side of the lot that runs along an alley with approved fencing. For two years thereafter, you failed to both maintain the Property or bring it into full compliance. Extensive efforts to find a reliable address for you. We have attempted to contact you on numerous occasions regarding the Property’s necessary improvements: February 9, 2022 (Notice of Collection of Abatement Costs by Special Assessment); and July 7, 2022 (Notice to Correct the Violation); July 7, 2022 (Notice to Correct); June 27, 2023 (Notice of Violation); and July 17, 2023 (Notice of Public Nuisance and Intention to Abate with City Personnel).

By August 16, 2023, the Property remained a blight with overgrown vegetation and accumulation of trash and debris, in violation of the City’s vacant lot ordinances, specifically BMC §§ 8.40.030, 8.40.040, and 8.40.060. City successfully obtained an abatement warrant to help the Property go into compliance. City replaced the chain link fence along the alley on the south side of the lot with a white Kentucky fence, and also cleared all weeds, dead vegetation, little, junk and debris. The City’s costs for this abatement was $61,734.54, an accounting which was provided to you in our prior correspondence.

You were notified that on February 12, 2024, the City would be presented with a resolution to authorize a special assessment for the collection of all abatement costs pursuant to BMC § 8.36.190. We did not hear from you by the time of this council meeting. You also failed to appear for this meeting. At that meeting, Resolution 24-10 was passed, approving the recording of a lien on the Property to recoup initial costs expended to abate nuisances on the Property. This amount totaled $87,992.89.

Because City staff has been unable to contact you in person , service of notice of the recordation of this lien was fulfilled by publication, with the lien to being recorded on July 8, 2024 after no payment was received.

The City Attorney’s Office thereafter became aware that some additional costs of abatement were inadvertently left out of that original $87,992.89 demand. This includes retention amounts withheld on the abatement contracts that were later paid by the City, as well as legal fees related to recovering these abatement-related costs, both of which the City is entitled to collect. These additional costs and fees total $15,911.40. This correspondence is a demand to collect those costs and fees. -89-

Please be advised that pursuant to BMC Chapter 8.361, the City is entitled to recover its abatement related costs from you.

Please be further advised that you have until August 12, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. to remit to the City the total sum of $15,911.40 to avoid the City seeking and imposing a lien and special tax assessment on the Property.

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

The property may be sold after three years by the tax collector for unpaid delinquent assessments. The tax collector’s power of sale shall not be affected by the failure of the property owner to receive notice. The assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to the special assessment. However, if any real property to which the cost of abatement relates has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien of a bona fide encumbrance for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of the taxes would become delinquent, then
the cost of abatement shall not result in a lien against the real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.

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

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

Please be further advised that on August 12, 2024, at 7:00 p.m., a resolution will be brought before the Bellflower City Council at its regularly scheduled council meeting to authorize a special assessment for the collection of all abatement costs pursuant to BMC § 8.36.190.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

ATTENTION: Ryan Smoot, City Manager

FROM: Brian McNerney, Interim Director of Public Safety

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to authorize the Mayor to execute Agreement File No. 200.9, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (SEAACA) for animal control services.

DATE: August 12, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The 2024-25 Agreement with SEAACA reflects an annual contract rate increase of 5.5%.

There are no changes in service delivery.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Authorize the Mayor to execute Agreement File No. 200.9, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and

2) Approve a budget amendment to increase the appropriation in Account No. 010-42100-2230 by $10,880, to $641,880; or

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

FISCAL IMPACT

As illustrated below, the proposed annual gross cost of SEAACA services is $779,880 which will be offset by the estimated licensing and penalty revenue of $138,000, for a net cost of approximately $641,880.

Cost of SEAACA services per AFN 200.9 $ 779,880
Less: Guaranteed animal license revenue (138,000) Net cost of SEAACA services $ 641,880

Note: Annual animal license fees collected in excess of the guaranteed revenue amount of $138,000 are split 50/50 between the City and SEAACA. Since fiscal year 2019-20, the City received no excess payments from SEAACA except for just one minimal amount of $56.00 for fiscal year 2021-22.

DISCUSSION

The contract rate increase for fiscal year 2024-25 is 5.5% and the annual increases for the past three fiscal years were 8.0% (2023-24), 5.0% (2022-23), and 5.3% (2021-22).

According to SEAACA1:

The cost increases for this year’s agreement are due to base salary increases and monetary considerations for employee healthcare coverage and retirement. Additional increases are projected in site utilities, kennel supplies, surgical supplies, contracted services, veterinary medications, and emergency veterinary services. The SEAACA Board of Commissioners considered and approved the City of Bellflower’s Animal Control and Sheltering agreement taking into account the financial adjustments previously stated.

Section.

Agreement File No. 230.4

liability, arising out of this Agreement, or its performance, except for such loss or damage arising from CITY’s sole negligence or willful misconduct. Should CITY be named in any suit, or should any claim be brought against it by suit or otherwise, whether the same be groundless or not, arising out of this Agreement, or its performance, CONSULTANT will defend CITY (at CITY’s request and with counsel satisfactory to CITY) and will indemnify CITY for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise.

B.For purposes of this section “CITY” includes CITY’s officers, officials, employees, agents, representatives, and certified volunteers.

C.It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive termination of this Agreement.

D. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 23, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

20. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT’s professional services.

CONSULTANT’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

22. AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT will maintain full and accurate records with respect to all services and matters covered under this Agreement. CITY will have free access at all reasonable times to such records, and the right to examine and audit the same and to make transcript therefrom, and to inspect all program data, documents, proceedings and activities.

23. INSURANCE.

A.Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT will procure and maintain the following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits set forth below:

Type of Insurance Limits
Commercial general liability $2,000,000
Professional Liability $1,000,000
Business automobile liability $1,000,000
Workers compensation Statutory requirement
B.Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of the most recent ISO-CGL Form. The amount of insurance set forth above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Liability policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials, and employees as “additional insureds” under said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed “primary” such that any other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88, or equivalent. Such insurance will be on an “occurrence,” not a “claims made,” basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to CITY.

C. Professional liability coverage will be on an “occurrence basis” if such coverage is available, or on a “claims made” basis if not available. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

D. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).

E.CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as -9-

City of Bellflower
Agreement File No. 230.4
West Coast Arborists, Inc.

Page 8 of 11 ends

may be reasonably required by CITY from time to time. Insurance must be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of “A:VII.”
F.Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT’s expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to Section 16.

G. Self-Insured Retention/Deductibles. All policies required by this Agreement must allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and deductible of the policy in lieu of CONSULTANT (as the named insured) should CONSULTANT fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible is subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONSULTANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSULTANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CITY’s behalf upon the CONSULTANT’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSULTANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

24. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.

25. INCIDENTAL TASKS. CONSULTANT will meet with CITY monthly to provide the status on the project, which will include a schedule update and a short narrative description of progress during the past month for each major task, a description of the work remaining and a description of the work to be done before the next schedule update.

26. NOTICES. All communications to either party by the other party will be deemed made when received by such party at its respective name and address as follows:

PLAN FOR S ERVICES
What is a Urban Forest Management Plan?
An Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) is a guide to help manage the urban forest, now and in the future. This is an opportunity to document the community’s urban forest resources and identify goals for preservation, enhancement, and restoration. It is a roadmap that creates a shared vision for the future of an urban forest tree canopy.

Why Do We Need One?
Trees are an essential aspect of the landscape and have had a tremendous role in shaping the way people i see their community. Proper planting of more trees and caring for our existing trees can help assure a healthy urban forest for generations to come. Trees offer many benefits: from the shade and cooling of our streets; the habitat they provide for local fauna and the grace and beauty they add to our urban environment. However, planting and maintaining street trees requires a coordinated approach and this master plan will help by providing:
• A sound framework for the selection, use and maintenance of trees • Better tools for the planning and budgeting of future tree planting projects • Improved techniques for tree planting and protection
The UFMP presents an opportunity to link and integrate with other key plans and initiatives in the community that are relevant to trees. Policies, goals, maintenance budgets, and public education programs involving trees now exist in multiple silos throughout the community. In order for our collective efforts to be effective, it is essential that the UFMP make an attempt to span these silos, and for staff and stakeholders to work in unison.

Increased Public Safety
All public works agencies know that a large part of their primary mission is to assure safety and manage risk related to public infra-structure. A tree inventory and management plan will provide lists of trees requiring priority removal and pruning that a manager can carry out within the limits of budget and time. The inventory can be used subsequently to monitor trees for safety risks on a continual basis. By implementing recommendations made in the management plan, storm damage risks will also decline.

A UFMP includes an inventory of the existing tree
population, identifies new tree planting locations,
specifies canopy goals, management objectives,
maintenance tasks and actions, green waste and
wood recycling, best practices for wildlife and
tree risk and health monitoring plan.

13 Setting the Gold Standard
Increased Efficiency
Once an inventory has identified the work to be done and a management plan has prescribed a maintenance program, a manager can execute that work in a much more efficient manner than before. By scheduling all work in a given area to be done at the same time (rather than by reacting to single requests) the savings in travel and setup time are substantial, with historical examples showing about a 50 percent reduction in cost—especially when a system of rotational work and/or preventative maintenance is adopted. There is also increased efficiency in the office created by using an electronic inventory to locate and manipulate records and select and schedule work. The efficient response to citizen requests and questions also improves customer service.

Facilitate Short– and Long-term Planning
Planning can be made for both short term and long term by utilizing the results of the tree inventory in conjunction with the UFMP. Maintenance and planting needs can be identified and budgeting for the future can be better managed.

Justify Budgets
The UFMP provides the data and analysis needed to determine specific levels of funding for tree maintenance and tree planting projected over a multi-year period. With accurate data, a manager can establish, prioritize, and justify annual budget requests. The tasks and associated costs are clearly spelled out in the plan and can be supported by detailed lists. Many public works managers have found that they have much greater success with budget requests that are based on the analysis of high-quality data. Also, a good inventory provides a solid basis for grant applications.

Documentation
For many reasons, public works managers are frequently asked to provide documentation of their actions. This documentation can range from annual work accomplishments to a contractor’s costs per tree, from a removal list to a specific service request. Some requests may be routine, while others may have strong budgetary or even legal implications. The Urban Forest Management Plan and ArborAccess make such documentation very easy through reports that are included in the plan or that can be generated from the inventory database. ArborAccess come with standard reports, and there is usually a mechanism for creating special reports.

What Is Included?
The UFMP is tailored to the City’s needs based on the current needs and how the City wishes the forest to be managed in the future. A typical plan can take up to a year and involves outreach to the residents and business owners in the
community to incorporate their feedback.

PROPOSED METHOD TO ACCOMPLISH T HE WORK
ArborAccess
In today's changing financial environment,
municipalities must continually search for ways to
maximize their budget dollars. Agency staffs are being
asked to find "real" long-term solutions and are
searching for areas where operations can be
performed more effectively and efficiently, or both.

One such area is tree maintenance; however, an
efficient tree maintenance plan stems from a clear
and concise tree inventory.

ArborAccess is a versatile tree inventory software that is device agnostic, meaning it can be accessed from
any device, including iPads, iPhones, Androids, and
Windows devices. It works on any browser, including

Equipment
Trees are inventoried using iPads and Android devices utilizing WCA’s proprietary inventory mobile application, ArborAccess.

Software Training
Our IT Department is based out of our corporate office in Anaheim, CA with regional offices located throughout California and Arizona. Each office has the ability to provide software training to our customers. We are also available to provide training sessions on-site at the customer’s discretion. On-site training is proven to be effective as it provides a guided firsthand experience.

We offer periodic tree maintenance and management workshops each year. These free workshops are provided to our customers regionally and educate over 250 people annually. They have proven to be a great roundtable and networking opportunity for the different agencies in attendance. Presentations are provided by WCA management staff and complimented with guest speakers in the industry. Certified Arborists and Tree Workers who attend are eligible to receive continuing education credits (CEU’s) from the International Society of Arboriculture.

The success of any urban forest program depends on the proper management of information.

Unlimited telephone and/or email support is available to answer technical questions and aid staff in the use of the software system. Software training and support is included in the cost associated with the inventory data collection.

Sample: Species Frequency Report
The Species Frequency report can assist your Agency in identifying the tree population within the urban forest. This type of information is valuable in the event of an insect infestation, deadly disease, or even estimating future maintenance costs. In addition, an analysis can be performed to evaluate the history of the performance of a particular species within your Agency.

Sample Management Tools:

Detailed Tree Site Characteristics
The advanced technology provides
a valuable tool to urban forestry
professionals by displaying specific
tree site information along with a
representative photograph of the
species type and a recommended
maintenance field. ArborAccess’
built-in quality control features assist
in data accuracy. As maintenance
is performed, the work history is
updated and accompanied with
bi-weekly invoices. This process
eliminates the need for dual-
inputting and helps keep the tree
inventory current and accurate.

CITY OF INGLEWOOD Completed October 2023

WCA worked with the City of Inglewood to create a Urban Forest Managemant Plan. The plan not only describes how the city will care for its trees, but also provides a list of the species the city can plant in areas adjacent to public streets. The updated plan also sets a goal of increasing the overall number of trees on city properties, which will ultimately increase the capture of greenhouse gases. The City’s maintenance contract with WCA includes real time updates to the tree inventory.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In June 2024, the Posh Passport vacated Kiosk C. On August 1, 2024, the City Manager executed Lease Agreement File No. 1054 with Isabella Juarez. The purpose of this agreement is to allow Isabella Juarez to enter the City-owned property located at 16552 Bellflower Blvd. Kiosk C to operate Thrift N Things, a retail store selling men’s and women’s clothing, shoes and accessories.

For the first six full-calendar months of the Lease, Isabella Juarez is required to pay a monthly lease fee of $150. Starting with month seven through month 12, the lessee is not required to pay a monthly lease fee for use of the kiosk. Resuming at month 13, the lessee will pay $150 for the remaining 12 months of the Lease.

DISCUSSION

On April 25, 2016, the City Council approved the guidelines and incentives for the Kiosk Small Business Program to encourage entrepreneurs to submit application s and business proposals. During the Summer 2024 submission period, a total of 3 proposals were received for the Kiosk C vacancy. The Economic Development Director independently reviewed and scored each proposal.
