Franklin Avenue between Mahan Street and Downs Street and include curb and gutter within the project limits City had $850,000 funded by the City's substandard streets fund and supplemental Measure V funds for this 0.5 -mile project segment. The existing street was a desert mix (sand mixed with oil) and a full reconstruction of the project segment was proposed. The street vertical profile was adjusted to address drainage and large accumulation of sediment issues on Franklin. A new cross gutter was constructed on the east side of the Mahan/Franklin intersection. Willdan also proposed new curb, gutter, and sidewalk at all locations within this project limits.

Willdan prepared Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) as well as assisted the City with Utility Notifications, NEPA approval, ROW Certification, and Construction Authorization for City's Federal project the Arrow Highway Median Improvements Project [HSIPL-5112(019)]. Arrow Highway is a heavily traveled arterial roadway with close proximities to shopping centers, schools, and multi -family residential developments. The safety improvements encompassing 1.10 miles of improvements along the corridor was a high priority for City staff. The construction of raised median islands, protected left -turn pockets, ADA curb ramps, pavement resurfacing, and sidewalk repair provides better guidance and reduces the pattern of collisions throughout the street corridor. The raised medians provide refuge areas for pedestrian crossings, encourage walking, benefit local businesses, and enhance community pride. The project limits extend from the western city limits to South Citrus Avenue and include frontage road medians within the City of Covina.

The scope of work entailed development and design of plans, specifications, and estimates to construct raised medians with left -turn pockets at select locations along Arrow Highway. Included in the design were curb access ramps in compliance with ADA requirements and revised signage and striping required for the new raised medians. Landscape and irrigation improvements and bioswales were included as part of the Arrow Highway and frontage road median improvements. Although not eligible for HSIP funding, the roadway resurfacing and reconstruction of damaged sidewalks were accomplished utilizing funding from other available sources. Willdan Project Specifics

1 Staffing and Resource Management Plan
Labor planning for this contract will be done on an individualized basis using workload projections.

Mr. Lau will coordinate with the task leads to identify the staff required to complete each awarded project and calculate the hours. This data will be input into our project staffing needs plan on a weekly basis. Project staffing assignments will match the experience of personnel with the degree of project complexity.

Cost Control
Aligned with the work breakdown structure, the budget becomes the control against which performance is measured. Actual costs are compared with budgeted costs and variances analyzed.

Deviations between planned and actual cost can then be evaluated to forecast and control future work. Project hours are assigned to the appropriate tasks and subtasks and booked as work -in - process. Pre -bill reports identify the hours to be billed along with any other direct charges to the project to determine each month's invoicing.

Detailed Scope of Services
Project Controls
Willdan's project control system is
designed to provide a coordinated
effort between all project task facets in
the framework of a pre -established
master schedule, budget controls, and
reporting system. This framework will
support our project managers and
enables him to control costs and
provide accurate and timely invoices
through internal control measures; to
monitor and stay within budget; to monitor schedules and review times and complete projects within the proposed time frames, as described on the following page. Our project controls provide an objective measure of performance — integrating the elements described below.

Schedule Control
A critical path method master schedule identifies major items of work and is used for monitoring, controlling, and tracking progress. Updated monthly to reflect actual and forecasted completions, the schedule guides Task Leads as they anticipate and forecast potential issues and develop an advanced strategy to proactively mitigate problems before they impact the schedule. If a project falls behind schedule, Task Leads meet with the respective team members, identify the problem, and ensure that extra support and effort are expended to bring the project back on schedule. Willdan will keep City staff informed of the overall schedule, including advanced notification of any necessary adjustments or actions to remain on track.

Quality Assurance and Control
Quality assurance and control procedures are critical to ensuring sound engineering practices and quality deliverables are produced for our clients. Project -specific quality assurance/control activities QA
` ♦ will be planned at the beginning of each awarded task assignment. Typical quality assurance/control activities include assigning the appropriate technical staff to the project, selecting the proper project technical approach, establishing a project schedule that meets City and internal Willdan deadlines, and determining the proper level of quality assurance/control review. v✓

As Quality Assurance Manager, Adel Freij, PE will oversee the quality assurance and quality control protocols by assigning a senior staff member experienced in the required disciplines to oversee the implementation of project - specific quality assurance/control activities. This senior staff member will report directly to Mr. Freij but will work closely with Mr. Casillas, to monitor and adjust the project quality assurance/control activities to ensure project objectives are met. Mr. Freij and Mr. Casillas will achieve quality work and on -time product delivery using the methods described below. Our relevant project client contacts can attest to Willdan's firm and team to deliver superior service and deliverables.

Two major components of the quality assurance review are technical and communication reviews. A Level 3 review will be performed on engineering design plans, specifications, and cost estimate to ensure the design is sound, constructible, and appropriate for the intended use and to confirm deliverables meet the scope of work requirements. This process involves reviews by independent designers and Mr. Casillas prior to submittal for formal review under the agreed -upon project -specific quality assurance plan. Project documents, including letters and correspondence, are subject to a Level 2.

Progress Reporting
The submittal requirements and format for consistent monthly reporting of project costs and status will be confirmed with the City during the project start-up period. The status report will contain a project performance summary, action items, outstanding items to be resolved, an updated schedule, and a comparison and narrative of budgeted costs versus actual costs.

Scope of Services
Management Approach
Our approach to serving the City on this contract is based upon our 60 -year history of serving public agencies.

Willdan utilizes a management approach, whereby each assignment is undertaken by a project team. Each project is assigned to a senior member of our staff with the background, experience, and availability best suited for the assignment. Willdan has designated a team to provide on -call support services to the City for specific projects/task orders. The fundamental goal of Willdan's team is to provide the City with the highest level of support in completing the as -needed special tasks. This will require close personal coordination between Willdan and the City. To accomplish this, we will conduct interactive meetings with City staff throughout the course of each assignment to ensure all issues are addressed. Our team has a broad variety of talent and experience in city engineering; development review; public works permitting and inspection; capital improvement project design, inspection, and contract administration; facility and infrastructure maintenance and repair; surveying; and soils investigation. Combined with our understanding of the desired services, Willdan can assist the City with successful completion of all engineering matters. Willdan will commit the appropriate staff to ensure specific projects, as well as the overall contract, are successful. Our intended approach is to:
■ Fully understand each project
■ Review each project scope of work in detail with City staff ■ Agree on course or extent of best -suited action
■ Proceed with project accordingly

Having successfully completed many other assignments of this type for other agencies within the Los Angeles County and Southern California regions. Willdan's proposed team understands City processes and possesses the technical and communication skills that are vital to ensuring each task receives the necessary attention, objectives are met, schedules are adhered to, and project tasks are within budget.

Communication Approach
Willdan recognizes that effective, ongoing cooperative
communication between all parties over the course of any assignment is essential to successful project completion. This communication starts with a project kick-off meeting where the objectives and expectations of the City for each task order/assignment are clearly articulated and understood by Willdan. In addition, agreed -upon methods and scheduling of formal reporting are established with identification of individuals to be involved in the project's decision - making process. This sets forth accountability and responsibility for informing and facilitating the project. As the project progresses, communication continues through regular correspondence, teleconference discussions, and meetings with City staff seeking direction on issues that may arise and keeping City staff apprised of the project. Clear and concise progress updates are provided. Emails and teleconferences are utilized whenever possible and appropriate to minimize City staff time spent in meetings.

As previously stated, upon receipt of a project assignment or award, Mr. Casillas will analyze the project and assign a Discipline Manager with the appropriate qualifications and experience to ensure tasks are completed in accordance with the City's goals and visions. Together, they will select qualified team members to provide technical support for the project. Mr. Casillas will convey all-important matters to the assigned Discipline Manager and the selected project team as appropriate. The Discipline Manager will, then, take full responsibility for understanding the project requirements, detailing the project scope requirements, and estimating the fee to complete the project effectively and efficiently. The assigned Discipline Manager will maintain the team members assigned to the project from beginning to end. This means the same individuals responsible for design elements are the same individuals reviewing shop drawings, preparing as -built plans, or responding to questions during the bidding or construction process. This management approach has been proven on past projects to be effective in delivering projects on time, within budget and to the client's satisfaction.

Staff Report — Agreement File No. 257.7
October 14, 2024

DISCUSSION — Continued
The Gateway Cities Strategic Transportation Plan includes a Master Plan for Arterial Highways in the region which incorporates the Complete Streets concept. Complete streets are designed to maximize the efficiency of automobile, truck, and bus traffic as well as bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Completion of a plan puts the participating cities in a good position to apply for funding in the future for these improvements.

Gateway has previously completed six other Complete streets corridor studies including Artesia Boulevard, Lakewood/Rosemead Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard, Florence Avenue, Imperial Highway and Telegraph Road. The City of Bellflower participated in both the Artesia Boulevard and Lakewood/Rosemead Boulevard studies. The consensus of the City and County representatives was to move forward with a study for Alondra Boulevard to be completed by Gateway's consultant engineers. The study will take a year and a half to complete and has an estimated cost of $229,200. The study will be partially funded by the participating agencies under a formula based on the linear miles of Alondra Boulevard street frontage areas. The remaining portion of the project is paid by Metro. The full agreement attached to this report also includes the cost share for each participating agency.

f. Task 6: Complete Streets Implementation Alternatives a. Develop Alternatives
Based on the existing and future conditions evaluation and the stakeholder/community input, the GCCOG will develop alternative concepts for complete street implementation, and will include plans, sketches, and photos.

Two primary alternatives considered include 1) the Florence Avenue Corridor as a "Complete Street" in an "unconstrained" condition to quantify the high level engineering and feasibility, and 2) as a multi -modal Corridor evaluated for consistency across the sub -region, including a potentially phased approach to a Complete Street, along with any major challenges as well as project benefits so that potential funding partners could understand the holistic context of the improvements.

Deliverable: Develop concepts and exhibits, via alternatives, to support the needs identified.
g. Task 7: Prepare Conceptual Complete Streets Plan
Based on the preferred design alternative chosen in the stakeholder and community outreach efforts and discussions with the Cities, the GCCOG will develop a draft Concept Master Plan.

Deliverable: Develop concept plan to incorporate into the Draft Report. This is the first step in creating the Draft Report.
h. Task 8: Develop Conceptual Design Alternatives for Complete Streets Plan with Cost Estimates
The GCCOG will develop conceptual design alternatives with cost estimates.

Illustrations will be made in plan view, as street cross sections, and as sketches.

Deliverable: Develop cost estimates to accompany the concept alterative preferred, to incorporate into the draft Report.
i. Task 9: Presentation to Committees and City Councils, Describing Quantified and Other Benefits
The GCCOG will prepare and present PowerPoint presentations to Committees and City Councils, describing quantified and other benefits.

Deliverable: Develop presentations and present at needed. -13-

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to authorize the Director of Public Works, or designee, to install an on -street disabled parking space (blue curb) at 10440 Somerset Boulevard (C.E.# 24-09).

DATE: October 14, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This action would approve and authorize the installation of an on -street disabled parking space (blue curb) at 10440 Somerset Boulevard pursuant to Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") Chapter 10.04.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Authorize the Director of Public Works, or designee, to install an on -street disabled parking space (blue curb) at 10440 Somerset Boulevard; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost to install the on -street disabled parking space (blue curb) is $300.00. Funds are budgeted in Account No. 010-43170-3100 (Street Maintenance Traffic Paint) and 010-43180-3100 (Street Maintenance Street Signs).

DISCUSSION
The City received a request to install two (2) on -street disabled parking spaces (blue curb) fronting 10440 Somerset Boulevard to accommodate two disabled residents living in the home that are currently receiving dialysis. Engineering staff conducted a site visit and spoke with the homeowner to better understand their needs. The property has an existing garage that is accessible by the alleyway at the rear of the property, however there is no driveway. In the absence of a driveway and the garage being located at the rear of the property, the shortest accessible path of travel is from the front of the property. In an effort to minimize the loss of on -street parking, staff's recommendation to the Public Safety Commission was for the Commission to recommend the approval of one (1) on -street parking space to the City Council.

DATE: October 14, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 13, 2024, the City Council approved the plans and specifications for the Bellflower Youth and Senior Center project (Specification No. 23/24-07). On August 14, 2024, the City received twelve (12) bids for the project. Following the bid opening, a written protest was filed by one of the bidders. The City Attorney's office has reviewed all documents related to the bid protest and recommends that all bids be rejected at this time.

Contracts for competitively bid public projects must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. As shown above, Woodcliff Corporation submitted the lowest bid and is the apparent low bidder. However, on August 21, 2024, City staff received a written protest from the third lowest bidder, New Dynasty Construction. The bid protest claimed that the apparent first and second lowest bidders, Woodcliff Corporation and Keystone Builders, Inc., failed to list one of the required product suppliers according to the project specification requirements. In response to the protest, both the first and second lowest bidders provided rebuttals to the protest claim.

The original bid protest documentation and the protest rebuttals were turned over to the City Attorney's office. Upon the close review and examination of all relevant protest documents, the City Attorney's office recommends that all bids be formally rejected by the City Council and that the City Council authorize the solicitation of new bids for the project. The City Council may, in its discretion, reject all bids per Public Contract Code §20166.

City staff has already begun discussions with NCA Studio (architect) and SouthStar Engineering (construction management) to refine the plans and specifications in an effort to eliminate any ambiguities and to ensure concise bid documents. -2-

ATTENTION: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
FROM: Brian McNerney, Interim Director of Public Safety SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to modify the fine schedule for administrative citations by adopting Resolution No. 24-57 — A Resolution adopting a fine schedule pursuant to Bellflower Municipal Code § 1.12.060(A), and superseding Resolution No. 22-66.

DATE: October 14, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") § 1.12.060(A) allows for the issuance of administrative fines related to violations of the code. Staff is recommending the modification of administrative fine amounts related to health and safety, public services, cannabis related businesses, and zoning (see Exhibit A of Resolution No. 24-57 for full list).

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Adopt Resolution No. 24-57; or
2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the number of administrative citations issued in fiscal year 23/24, fine revenue may increase by approximately $6,900.00 per year.

DISCUSSION
Consistent with staff's direction to undertake an internal review of Public Safety/Code Enforcement operations, staff is recommending the modification of certain administrative fine amounts specifically related to temporary/conditional use permit violations, vacant property violations, public nuisances related to unlawful drug activity/prostitution/gambling, unnecessary noises (loud parties), bulky items, cannabis business violations, and other violations of the BMC. The listed BMC titles/chapters/sections represent violations attributable to visual blight, public nuisances, protecting public safety, and unlawful activity in the city. The modification of fine amounts for these violations seeks to provide greater incentive for immediate compliance, reduce the reoccurrence of future violations, and act as a deterrent.

1 Staff Report — Resolution No. 24-57, Modified Administrative Fine Schedule October 14, 2024

DISCUSSION — Continued
Increase in fines related to violations involving storm water runoff and properties engaging in drug use, gambling and prostitution, for example, are directly related to protecting the life and safety of individuals.

In certain situations, the penalty for doing something wrong is less than doing what is right. As an example, the minimum cost of a temporary use permit ("TUP") is $149, whereas the current administrative fine for a first violation is $100. The imbalance of the permit fee and administrative fine has led to situations where a TUP will intentionally not be acquired, and the organizer/business/individual would rather take the chance on a $100 fine if caught. Similarly, a cannabis -related location or a business operating without the required CUP may consider the risk of incurring the current fine amounts simply as the "cost of doing business."
Increasing the fine amounts serves to protect public safety, promote expeditious correction of violations, and dissuade future violations.

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A FINE SCHEDULE PURSUANT TO
BELLFLOWER MUNICIPAL CODE § 1.12.060(A), AND SUPERSEDING RESOLUTION NO. 22-66
THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

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

A. The City Council finds that it is desirable to adopt a resolution pursuant to Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") § 1.12.060(A) modifying fine amounts for administrative citations; and
B. This Resolution is adopted pursuant to BMC § 1.12.060(A) and Government Code § 53069.4(a)(1).

SECTION 2. Factual Findings. Increasing the fine amounts (collectively, "fines"), attached as Exhibit "A" to this Resolution, serves to protect public safety, promote expeditious correction of violations, and dissuade future violations.

SECTION 3. Approval. The fine amounts (collectively, "fines") attached as Exhibit "A" to this Resolution are adopted as the City's fine schedule for purposes of imposing fines pursuant to administrative citations. To the extent that Resolution No. 22- 66 (adopted November 28, 2022), and any other resolution pertaining to administrative fine schedule is incorporated into this Resolution, it is superseded in its entirety.

SECTION 4. 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 5. 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 were 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 6. Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record.

The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

3 City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 24-57

SECTION 7. Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council'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 8. Severability. If any part of this Resolution 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 Resolution are severable.

SECTION 9. 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 10. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to affix its signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Bellflower, and the City Clerk, or its duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest.

SECTION 11. Effective Date. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to receive and file memorandum designating the Fire Chief for the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County as the enforcement officer for the California Fire Code ("CFC"), as adopted by the Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC").

DATE: October 14, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 20, 2024, the City Attorney received a letter from the Los Angeles County Counsel's office regarding enforcement of the CFC, as adopted by the BMC (the "Letter").

Among other things, the Letter suggested that the BMC created an ambiguity regarding whether the Fire Chief for the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County ("Fire District") could enforce the CFC.

While the City disagrees that there is any ambiguity, the City Manager (in an abundance of caution) issued the attached memorandum confirming that the Fire District's Fire Chief may enforce the CFC. Nothing in the memorandum changes the method by which the City accepts and processes applications for building permits. As provided by California regulation and the BMC, the City's Building Official is the only official authorized to issue building permits under the California Building Standards Code ("CBSC").

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
It is recommended that the City Council consider the following:
1) Receive and file this report; or
2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the recommended action.

BACKGROUND
The City Attorney received the attached Letter from the Los Angeles County Counsel's office. A letter responding to the Letter is also attached. -1-

Staff Report — Fire Chief
October 14, 2024

BACKGROUND — Continued
According to County Counsel, one of the Fire District's complaints is that the City somehow undermined the Fire Chief's ability to enforce the CFC. BMC § 15.40.020 amended CFC § 202 as to the definitions of "fire chief" and "fire official." Based upon that amendment, the City Manager may designate an official as the "fire chief"; that designation will also constitute the "fire code official" for purposes of the CFC.

To avoid any purported confusion, the City Manager issued the attached memorandum designating the Fire District's Fire Chief as the "fire chief" (and "fire code official") under the CFC. Such designation, of course, does not change the Building Official's plenary authority to issue building permits under the CBSC. That authority is outlined in the City Attorney's response to the Letter.

No action is needed on this item. A copy of this agenda item — and the City Manager's memorandum — will be transmitted to the Fire District.

TO: Bellflower Building Official
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
SUBJECT: Fire Chief Designation
DATE: October 9, 2024
Pursuant to Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") § 15.40.020, I designate the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County's ("Fire District") Fire Chief as the "fire chief" and "fire official" for purposes of California Fire Code ("CFC") § 202. In that capacity, the fire chief is authorized to enforce the CFC as adopted by the BMC. Such authority should be exercised in cooperation with the City's Public Safety Director to ensure a uniform enforcement of applicable law within the City's jurisdiction.

Nothing in this memorandum or designation authorizes the Fire Chief to review plans as contemplated by California Building Standards Code ("CBSC") § 105.4 (as adopted by the BMC). Only the Bellflower Building Official is authorized to exercise the authority in CBSC § 105.4 including, without limitation, issuing building permits. -3-

Re: Letter dated September 17, 2024
Dear Ms. Tam:

Thank you for your letter (the "Letter") dated September 17, 2024 (received September 20, 2024). I am disappointed.

After our video conference call on August 27, 2024, I understood that the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles ("District") and the City of Bellflower would seek what I termed the "third way" to find a path forward. The emphasis at that time was to ensure that members of the public requesting a building permit from the City would receive timely service. My impression was that the District's Chief(s) understood that the historical failure of the District to provide prompt and efficient service to the City's (and its residents') needs is what caused the City Council to consider alternatives to sending building plans to the District for review. It appears that the District now wishes to ignore the progress made on August 27th. While the City trusts that wiser minds will reconsider the District's bellicose stance in this matter, my initial response follows.

District's Historical Failure to Perform
On February 4, 2019, the City's Building Official, Steve Patterson, emailed Mr.

Brent Times regarding the City's concerns that the District failed to efficiently review plans related to an In -and -Out Burger located on Bellflower Boulevard and Artesia Boulevard. As noted in Mr. Patterson's email:

Brent, good afternoon.

Brent, last week you and I had a brief conversation in the lobby area of City Hall. I requested of you to help out on getting all of us ( LA Fire and City staff) together to review the upcoming Code Adoption as well as to discuss confusion on requirements with the In and Out Burger project located at the North West corner of Bellflower Blvd. and Artesia Blvd.

As I mentioned to you, the City has reached out on several occasions to LA Fire asking to sit down and discuss differences on new project development. I personally reached out to you at the opening of the Mayne Centre, and the City Manager, Jeff Stewart, has tried unsuccessfully to connect with the Fire Chief. I believe Jeff and someone at LA Fire have played phone tag. In addition. I believe Len Gorecki, Asst. City Mgr./Public Works Director has sent out invites to Chief Savage, you, and twice to Nick Duvally, all LA Fire representatives, requesting a meeting. To my knowledge, he has not been able to get a response from anyone in regards to setting up a meeting date.

I am asking you to please contact the appropriate parties from LA Fire to help set up a meeting ASAP to deal with current challenges, and hopefully discuss the potential adoption , and any amendments that are beneficial to all parties, prior to presenting to City Council.

Your prompt attention to both items is appreciated, while the Code concerns with In and Out Burgers need to be resolved ASAP.

Your help with this request would be greatly appreciated.

The City does not have any record of the District's representatives responding to Mr. Patterson's email. Consequently, on February 11, 2019, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1371 which amended to the Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") to authorize the City's Chief Building Official to enforce the Fire Code (Agenda Item No. 12-A). No District representatives attended that meeting and the City does not have any written record from the District raising an objection.

On September 4, 2019, Mr. Patterson again wrote Mr. Times as follows:

Brent, hope all is well. Have not talked with you for some time. As you know, Len Gorecki has reached out on several occasions, via email, asking LA County Fire to sit with Bellflower staff to review any possible amendments to the Codes that may best serve the City of Bellflower.

To date, we have not heard a response to our requests to work together on the final version of the applicable codes for our Council considerations.

I am asking once again, as our DRAFT ordinance is completed, for you, or LA County Fire to advise if you wish to meet Ito review any possible Amendments.

I would respectfully ask that we hear from someone prior to close of business on Oct. 4, 2019, 5:00 p.m. of your desire to meet, not interested in meeting, submittal of any Amendments to better Bellflower, or just to sit and discuss common interests.

Please advise so we can move forward to have all applicable Codes in place prior to the mandatory December 31, 2019 State required time frame.

Brent, hoping we can work together, looking forward to the response, 4887-7188-4010 v1

The City's records suggest that a meeting was proposed for September 23, 2019; it does not have a record of what transpired at that time (if anything).

As implied in Mr. Patterson's emails, the District historically failed to review building plans submitted by the Building Official in a timely or uniform manner. For example, the District's misreading of the 2016 Los Angeles County Fire Code ("LAFC") nearly caused a delay in the grand opening of . . . the Los Angeles County Fire Museum which is housed in the Mayne Centre within the City. After that debacle, the District then failed to approve plans for an In -and -Out Burger building in Bellflower when the exact same building plans were approved in a neighboring jurisdiction! As exemplified by Mr.

Patterson's emails, the District did nothing in 2019 to rectify the problems identified by the City.

The Bellflower City Council's responsibility is to meet the needs of its community.

Faced with the District's inability to perform its limited role in reviewing building plans, the City Council chose to take a different, legal, action.

The District does not issue Building Permits
The Letter spends much time complaining that the City usurped the District's enforcement authority as to the LAFC. Yet, the substance of the disputed matter is not enforcement, but the review of building plans for purposes of issuing a building permit. If the District wishes to "enforce" the California Fire Code, then the City looks forward to the District doing so. The City has a list of properties that should be inspected by District personnel to determine whether they violate the CFC. We are excited that the District would like to participate in code enforcement. Let us know when we may expect District personnel to accompany the City's code enforcement officers in inspections.

As to building plan review, however, the Letter does not identify a single statute or regulation that empowers the District to have a monopoly on plan review. That should not be a surprise. I noted during the meeting on August 27th that the City's Building Official — not the District's Fire Chief — is the only official authorized to issue a building permit. California Building Standards Code ("CBSC") § 105.4 (as adopted by the BMC) states, in relevant part (see enclosed for relevant sections from the BMC), that "[t]he application, plans, specifications, computations, and other data filed by an applicant for a permit will be reviewed by the Building Official. Such plans may be reviewed by other City officials to verify compliance with applicable law. If the Building Official finds that the work described in an application for a permit and the plans, specifications and other data filed therewith conform to applicable law, 4887-7188-4010 v1
