SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to provide direction to the City Manager regarding the future of New Hope Temporary Shelter.

DATE: August 25, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In 2018, a community survey reported that 81% of respondents considered homelessness as “very serious” or “somewhat serious” of a problem. In response, the City Council undertook a series of actions to respond to these concerns. One such effort was the decision in 2019 to enter into a settlement agreement with a homeless advocacy group, the Catholic Worker of Orange County (“CWOC”). The terms of that settlement agreement required the City to construct a new homeless shelter. It also, however, allowed the City to enforce its anti-nuisance regulations. Without taking this action, the City’s ability would have been hampered by then-existing law (Martin v. City of Boise).

The City expended considerable resources but constructed the New Hope Shelter in record time; it became operational in May 2020. Operated by Mercy House, New Hope provides emergency housing, meals, case management, and supportive services to people experiencing homelessness (“PEH”), with the goal of transitioning residents toward permanent housing. New Hope is a resource for both the City and its residents.

Questions remain, however, regarding the overall effectiveness of the services provided at New Hope – particularly in addressing long-term housing stability and service coordination. Despite the City’s ongoing commitment, maintaining the financial sustainability of New Hope is increasingly challenging. Although the City pursued cost-reduction strategies and external funding opportunities, these measures may not sufficiently offset long-term pressures on the City’s general fund. Since its inception, New Hope has served as a cornerstone of the City’s efforts to address homelessness.

Rising expenses, however, highlight the need for a comprehensive policy discussion regarding the future of New Hope and the City’s broader approach to supporting PEH.

Such discussions are also desirable in light of the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in 2024 (City of Grants Pass v. Johnson) which fundamentally changed the City’s legal obligations under the 2019 settlement agreement: the City is no longer legally required to provide beds for unhoused persons to enforce its anti-nuisance regulations. While the City Council may choose to continue voluntarily operating a shelter, reducing costs, reallocating resources, and changing expectations as to the scope of the City’s services should all be examined.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Provide direction to the City Manager regarding the future of New Hope Temporary Shelter; or

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

FISCAL IMPACT

None.

DISCUSSION

A copy of several staff reports is attached which provide background regarding the New Hope Shelter (without attachments). Relevant for tonight’s discussion: in December 2019, the City entered into an agreement with Mercy House to manage operations and provide onsite services. The construction and preparation of New Hope was completed in the spring of 2020 with operations officially commencing on May 20, 2020. Since inception, New Hope has served as an emergency housing resource for up to fifty PEH on any given day, providing shelter, meals, case management, and connections to supportive services. Mercy House staff has supported residents in developing individualized housing plans, securing community resources and working toward permanent housing solutions.

Since the inception of New Hope, the City has observed a reduction in the number of interactions involving PEH within the City’s public spaces. Additionally, the City has seen a decline in the overall number of unsheltered individuals residing in the City. The data seem to indicate some level of progress in addressing homelessness and its impact on the community. Nonetheless, there remains an important opportunity for further discussion around the role and effectiveness of the Mercy House’s services within the City’s overall homeless efforts. The City may wish to examine whether the current services provided by Mercy House sufficiently address the needs of our residents and whether there are gaps in coordination, accessibility, or long -term impacts that may be considered. This discussion could help determine if adjustments in the scope of work, additional partnerships, or alternative strategies may be required moving forward.

Despite the City’s continued commitment, the financial sustainability of the shelter has become increasingly challenging. Operations are funded largely through the City’s general fund and are sporadically offset by external grants and broader funding opportunities. Since the inception of New Hope, the operational costs of the shelter have risen significantly. The City has explored strategies to reduce long-term costs – including the potential acquisition of the property on which New Hope is located; however, the financial feasibility of this is unknown at this time. The City has also actively pursued external funding sources from the county and state. While the external sources of funding have been essential in the continued operations of New Hope, they may not be sufficient in meeting the long-term financial strain of operation the shelter – with the impact to the City’s general fund increasing year over year. This ongoing financial concern brings a high degree of uncertainty regarding the future of New Hope. -2-

DISCUSSION – Continued

Over the past five years, the City of Bellflower has dedicated substantial time, funding, and resources toward addressing homelessness, with the New Hope Shelter serving as a cornerstone of these efforts. However, the increasing operational costs, limited and inconsistent external funding, and recent changes in the legal framework governing enforcement of anti-nuisance ordinances have raised the degree of uncertainty regarding the future of New Hope.

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No. 1379 - An Ordinance amending Sections 9.04.010, 9.16.010, 12.44.060 and 17.08.010, and deleting Chapter 12.32 of the Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”) to clarify the prohibition against unlawful camping activities.

DATE: October 14, 2019

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2018 and 2019, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rendered a decision in Martin v. City of Boise. In sum, the Court found that the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents public entities from enforcing regulations prohibiting homeless persons from sitting, sleeping or lying on sidewalks or other public places whenever the number of homeless individuals in the jurisdiction exceeds the number of available shelter beds. As a result, most public entities in the Ninth Circuit suspended enforcing such regulations. On September 23, 2019, the City of Bellflower entered into a settlement agreement which was approved by the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division. Adhering to that settlement agreement allows the City to resume enforcing its anti-nuisance regulations. A review of the Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”) shows that it is desirable to reconcile the City’s existing regulations with that settlement agreement in order to comply with the Martin v. City of Boise case.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No. 1379; or

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

DISCUSSION
On September 4, 2018, the Ninth District Court of Appeals issued its decision in Martin et al., v. City of Boise (9th Cir. 2018) 902 F.3d 1031 stating that ordinances/statues which criminalize the status of being “homeless,” or criminalize the “unavoidable consequences” of that status – such as sitting, lying or sleeping on sidewalks and other public grounds – constitute cruel and unusual punishment, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. That case was subsequently superseded by the opinion in Martin v. City of Boise (9th Cir. 2019) 920 F.3d 584 which, substantively, came to the same conclusions.

For context, the City of Boise was sued by Robert Martin and other homeless plaintiffs – some of which were cited for violating a “camping ordinance” that prohibited dwelling on the streets, sidewalks, public parks or spaces (similar to many city and county ordinances in other jurisdictions); while others were cited for violating a “disorderly conduct ordinance” that prohibited “occupying or lodging” without permission (similar to Penal Code § 647(e)). Evidence showed that Boise had 867 homeless individuals and 446 shelter beds at the time of the citations (in other words, the plaintiffs had nowhere else to sleep/stay at the time the citations were issued). Accordingly, the Ninth Circuit ruled that, where there is a greater number of homeless individuals than the number of available shelter beds, enforcement of “camping” or “disorderly conduct” ordinances violates the Eighth Amendment. The court did acknowledge (but without suggesting examples) that, there may be circumstances where regulations prohibiting sitting, lying or sleeping outside at particular times or in particular locations might well be constitutionally permissible. So, too, might regulations barring the obstruction of public rights of way or the erection of certain structures. While the Martin v. Boise case is currently being appealed to the United States Supreme Court, the consequence of the original opinion (from 2018) and the subsequent opinion (in 2019) was that public entities throughout the Ninth Circuit – which includes California – suspended enforcement of their so-called “anti-nuisance” regulations.

In August and September of 2018, the City conducted its regular survey of residents to help the City Council prioritize its decision-making. That survey showed that concerns regarding homelessness was the top priority. Indeed, 75% of respondents agreed with the question of “would you support … the City … using local funds from the City’s budget to help address homelessness in the City?” As a result, the City Council took action in 2019 to respond to this concern.

On September 23, 2019, the City entered into a settlement agreement in the case of Orange County Catholic Worker, et al. v. Orange County, et al. (filed January 29, 2018) United States District Court, Central District of California, Case No. 8:18 cv-00155-DOC- JDE (the “OCCW Settlement”). The Judge David O. Carter entered a court order approving that settlement agreement on the same date. Because of the OCCW Settlement, the City is able resume enforcing its anti-nuisance regulations while balancing the need to care for its homeless population with the public interest in keeping public property available for its intended purpose, e.g., recreational activities (in parks) and pedestrian/vehicle access (on sidewalks and roads).

As a result of the actions on September 23rd, the City Attorney’s office reviewed the BMC to ensure that its anti-nuisance regulations are reconciled with the Martin v. Boise decision and the OCCW Settlement. The draft ordinance contains recommended revisions to the BMC to ensure that the City abides by applicable law and its obligations under the OCCW Settlement.

FROM: Karl H. Berger, City Attorney

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to receive an update regarding the current operations and cost of the New Hope Shelter including, without limitation, costs associated with acquiring the Shelter in accordance with Resolution No. 24-15.

DATE: January 28, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A decision rendered by the United States Supreme Court in Grants Pass v. Johnson in June 2024 affects the City’s operation of the New Hope Shelter and the eminent domain litigation filed in April 2024. City Council direction is required regarding any “next steps” regarding these matters.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Receive and file the report;

2) Provide direction to the City Manager and City Attorney regarding the future of the New Hope Shelter; and

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

BACKGROUND
On September 23, 2019, the City entered into a Court-ordered settlement agreement and final order (“Order”) in the case captioned Orange County Catholic Worker, et al. v.

Orange County, et al (Case No. 8:18-cv-00155-DOC-JDE). The Order, issued by the Honorable David O. Carter, includes a requirement that the City provide care for the City’s homeless population in exchange for the City’s ability to enforce its anti-nuisance regulations.

In compliance with the Order, the City negotiated a lease (the “Lease”) with the owner of 8833 Cedar Street (the “Property”) to construct and operate a homeless shelter. The original Lease term commenced November 1, 2019 and ended October 30, 2023 with a monthly rate of $10,899.60. On or about November 4, 2019, the Lease was amended to $11,390.02 per month with scheduled increases.

After executing the lease in October 2019, the City constructed the New Hope Shelter (the “Shelter”) for approximately $1.9M. The Shelter is operated by Mercy House Living Centers (“Mercy”) pursuant to an agreement dated December 19, 2019 (the “Operating staf Jeport_
-7-

Staff Report – New Hope Shelter
January 28, 2025

Page 2 of 3 ends

Agreement”). The Operating Agreement was amended on September 25, 2023 at a cost not to exceed $2,070,280.

The Property is zoned Light Industrial (M-1). In January of 2020, however, the City Council established the Court Enforced Neutral Tenancy Zone (“CENTZ”). The CENTZ constitutes a “floating zone” because it is activated for a specific property only after the City Council adopts a resolution, i.e., the decision to activate the CENTZ is solely with the City Council’s discretion. It may only be approved “to provide for an area that is appropriate for and capable of providing temporary shelter to homeless persons” pursuant to the Order. On January 27, 2020, the City adopted Resolution No. 202-02, which activated the CENTZ zoning at the Property. As a result, the Property may house the Shelter in accordance with the Order.

Mercy began operating the Shelter on May 20, 2020 and provides short-term housing needs for 50 persons experiencing homelessness in the City. The Shelter also serves as a support services coordinator by providing a variety of services including, without limitation, intake/bed reservations; foods/meals; laundry; storage; animal/pet assistance; security; transportation; recreational activities; assessment and housing navigation case management; housing placement services; life skills classes/tenant education; employment/job placement referrals; health care resources; crisis evaluation/mental health resources; drug & alcohol treatment referrals; and benefits enrollment.

After opening the Shelter, the City enforced its anti-camping and anti-nuisance laws and its regulations against aggressive panhandling in compliance with the Order. Persons violating the Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”) are offered a bed at the New Hope Shelter.

On June 5, 2023, the City sought to extend the Lease term for an additional four years.

After extensive negotiations, the parties were unable to reach an agreement on the new market rental value for the Lease. At that time, were the Lease to terminate, the City would be required to consider relocating or constructing and operating a new shelter for the homeless pursuant to the terms of the Order. This, despite the City already expending substantial sums to improve the Property including, without limitation, constructing the Shelter within five months and entering into agreements with Mercy for the New Hope Shelter’s operations. Faced with these options, the City Council believed it necessary acquire the Property to continue the Shelter’s operations.

Consequently, after the Property was appraised, the City offered $1,950,000 for the Property. Additionally, the City informed the Property owner that (until the Property was acquired) the City would pay $0.83/foot/month in rent (which the City’s appraisal identified as market rent). Counsel for the Property’s owner demanded that the City pay $1.02/foot/month. The monthly rental cost – based upon the City’s rent calculation – is approximately $15,000 for the Shelter.

On March 25, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 24-15 (“Resolution”), which includes all the required findings to adopt a resolution of necessity. No one appeared at the City Council meeting on behalf of Owner (see, attached Staff Report from March 25, 2024 [without exhibits]). Thereafter, on April 2, 2024, the City filed a complaint in eminent -8-

Staff Report – New Hope Shelter
January 28, 2025

Page 3 of 3 ends

domain action to acquire Property. The City deposited the probable amount of compensation ($1.95M) with the State Treasurer on March 26, 2024. Since then, the City worked to reach an agreement with the Property owner to acquire title. Mediation occurred right before the 2024 Holidays.

On June 28, 2024, the United States Supreme Court (“SCOTUS”) rendered an opinion in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson et al (“Grants Pass”).1 In sum, the Court determined that cities may enforce anti-camping regulations without violating the Eighth Amendment. In making its decision, SCOTUS overturned Martin v. Boise, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals case upon which the Order for the Shelter is based. As a result, the City is not legally required to adhere to the Order.

Based upon the Grants Pass decision, the City Council may wish to discuss the public interest in (1) operating the Shelter (costing approximately $2.5M annually) and (2) prosecuting the eminent domain lawsuit to acquire the Property. The City Council could, for example, decide to end the eminent domain action; terminate the Mercy agreement to operate the Shelter; rescind the CENTZ; and close the Shelter (“Alternative 1”).

Alternatively, the City Council could seek to extend the Lease (at a mutually agreeable rate) and continue operating the Shelter (“Alternative 2”). Or, the City Council could take some other action (“Alternative 3”).

Each Alternative has consequences. Alternative 1, for example, would cause the City to wind down operations at the Shelter and, conceivably, find alternative housing for persons currently utilizing the Shelter. For Alternative 2, there is a cost associated with continued Shelter operations. The extent of such cost is uncertain at the time this Staff Report was written.

It is prudent for the City Council to be fully informed regarding all its Alternatives – and their costs. The City Manager and I will require some time to compile the information to fully inform the City Council regarding the consequences of implementing various Alternatives identified above and those described by the City Council during its deliberations for this matter.

FISCAL IMPACT
Unknown a this time.

Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No. 24-15- A Resolution finding and determining that the public interest, convenience and necessity require the acquisition of certain real property located at 8833 Cedar Street for public purposes.

March 25, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City seeks to acquire the real property located at 8833 Cedar Street to ensure the continued operation of the New Hope shelter. In 2019, the City entered into a lease with the property owner, subsequently constructed a shelter for the homeless and entered into agreements for the shelter's operations, pursuant to the terms of the City's settlement agreement in The Catholic Worker of Orange County v. City of Bellflower.

The lease agreement has a definitive termination date and, upon termination, the City would be required to relocate or establish a new homeless shelter elsewhere pursuant to the terms of the aforementioned settlement. It is now recommended that an action in eminent domain be commenced to acquire the Property. Before the filing of the action, the City must hold a duly-noticed hearing on the proposed Resolution, and provide the Property Owner an opportunity to be heard, provided that the owner has timely filed a request to be heard in writing with the City before the hearing.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Open the public hearing, take testimonial and documentary evidence, and after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 24-15 by a minimum two-thirds vote; or
2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Property was appraised and the fair market value was determined to be approximately $1,950,000 which will be paid from the City's General Fund. This amount will be offset by the savings to the City from termination of its lease with the property owner of 8833 Cedar Street.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to Section 1245.235 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notice of the public hearing was also mailed first class to the property owner on March 5, 2024. See Attachment 3.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Ordinance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. "CEQA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines"). CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301 (existing facilities), exempts activities that involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. This activity would acquire private property for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and leasing of an existing shelter to ensure its continued operations. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") are not applicable because the action at issue herein is not a "project" subject to CEQA under Pub. Res. Code § 21065, as the proposed Project will continue existing use of the Property as the New Hope Shelter and thus has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even assuming, arguendo, that acquisition of the property amounts to a "project" subject to CEQA, this activity involves a negligible expansion of the existing use and no further review is required.

TYPE OF ACTION (LEGISLATIVE)
The recommended action relates to the acquisition of real property for public use through the powers granted to the City by Article 1, § 19 of the California Constitution.

The City Council's determination concerning the resolution of necessity is a legislative act which must be supported by substantial evidence and be adopted by a two-thirds vote. For the City Council to adopt the resolution of necessity, it must make the findings prescribed by Code of Civil Procedure § 1245.230:

1. A general statement of the public use for which the property is to be taken and a reference to the statute that authorizes the public entity to acquire the property by eminent domain;

2. A description of the general location and extent of the property to be taken, with sufficient detail for reasonable identification;

3. A declaration that the governing body of the public entity has found and determined that:
(a) The public interest and necessity require the proposed project; (b) The proposed project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; (c) The property described in the resolution is necessary for the proposed project; and

TYPE OF ACTION (LEGISLATIVE) -Continued
(d) The offer of compensation required by law has been made to the owner or owners of record, or the offer has not been made because the owner cannot be located with reasonable diligence.

The attached proposed resolution includes all the required findings. See Attachment 1.

The City Council must base its decisions upon substantial evidence within the record. "Substantial evidence" means enough relevant information and reasonable inferences from information gathered during a public hearing that 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 on 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 protected due process rights.

DISCUSSION
Background
Homelessness in Los Angeles County is a pervasive crisis resulting from, among other things, increases in the cost of housing and stagnant incomes, and the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority conducted the 2022 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count and found that approximately 69, 144 people were experiencing homelessness countywide and that approximately 70% of this population is unsheltered.1
The 2020 Point in Time Count conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority estimated that there were approximately 241 homeless individuals in the City and 229 of those were unsheltered. In an effort to address City residents' concerns, the City settled a homelessness-related federal lawsuit filed against the City by a homeless advocate group and, in the settlement (The Catholic Worker of Orange County v. City of Bellflower, Case No. 8: 18-cv-00155-DOC-JDE), Federal District Court Judge David 0.

Carter ordered the City to build a temporary services shelter for 50 people (the "Settlement").

The property located at located at 8833 Cedar Street, Bellflower CA 90706, identified by Assessor Parcel Number ("APN") 7162-019-061 (the "Property"), is privately owned by 20434 South Santa Fe Avenue, LLC, a California limited liability company (entity no. 200305010083) (the "Owner"). The Property is approximately 24,213.5 square feet, located on the north side of Cedar Street within the M-1 Light Industrial zone, with a Court-Enforced Neutral Tenancy Zone overlay, and has a General Plan ("GP") Land Use designation of "I" (Industrial).

DISCUSSION -Continued
Background - Continued
In or about October 2019, the City entered into a lease agreement with Owner for the lease of the Property from November 1, 2019 to October 30, 2023, at a monthly rate of $10,899.60 ("AFN 849"). On or about November 4, 2019, AFN 849 was amended by, among other things, increasing the monthly rate to $11,390.02 per month.

Subsequently, the rent increased each year thereafter by approximately 3% under the amendment. To-date, the City has spent approximately $693,253.30 in rent payments under AFN 849.

In partnership with Los Angeles County, the City constructed the New Hope temporary shelter at the Property, which was and remains privately owned, and began operating on May 20, 2020 (the "New Hope Shelter"). Thereafter, on or about December 19, 2019, the City entered into an agreement with Mercy House Living Centers ("Mercy House") to operate the New Hope Shelter. On or about January 20, 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance Nos. 1383 and 1384 establishing a Court-Enforced Neutral Tenancy Zone ("CENTZ") and adopted Resolution No. 20-02 activating the CENTZ at 8833 Cedar Street. On or about September 25, 2023, the City extended its agreement with Mercy House related to the New Hope Shelter for one additional year at a cost not to exceed $2,070,280.09.

The New Hope Shelter provides 50 beds for homeless persons who have ties to the City (e.g., previous address or attendance at the local high school) and provides temporary and short-term housing needs for persons experiencing homelessness in the City. The New Hope Shelter serves as a support services coordinator by providing a variety of services, including, without limitation, intake/bed reservations, foods/meals, laundry, storage, animal/pet assistance, security, transportation, recreational activities, assessment and housing navigation case management, housing placement services, life skills classes/tenant education, employment/job placement referrals, health care resources, crisis evaluation/mental health resources, drug & alcohol treatment referrals, and benefits enrollment.

Transitional housing and emergency shelters play a critical, often life-saving, role in providing a safe place for individuals experiencing homelessness. These facilities can assist in addressing homelessness through a wide range of essential support services, including, without limitation: mental health and substance use treatment, employment assistance, child care, life skills training, and mainstream benefits. Transitional housing and emergency shelters can help stabilize the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness.

With the opening of the New Hope Shelter, the City has been able to enforce its anti-camping and anti-nuisance laws and its ordinance against aggressive panhandling.

Persons violating the Bellflower Municipal Code ("BMC") are referred to a bed at the New Hope Shelter.

DISCUSSION -Continued
Public Necessity
AFN 849 has a definitive termination date, and the Owner has no obligation to continue leasing the Property to the City. Upon termination of AFN 849, the City will be required to relocate, or construct and operate a new shelter for the homeless pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, despite the fact that the City has already expended substantial resources to improve the Property, including, without limitation, constructing the New Hope Shelter within the existing building within five months and entering into agreements with Mercy House for the shelter's operations. Accordingly, it is necessary to acquire the Property, in its entirety, to ensure the New Hope Shelter's continued operations (hereinafter, the "Project").

Greatest Public Good and Least Private Injury; Need to Acquire Property As noted above, the New Hope Shelter currently operates on the Property, and the City has an ongoing agreement with Mercy House for its operation. Relocating the New Hope Shelter would require the City to incur significant costs to relocate, construct and find a new operator for a new shelter for the homeless in order to meet the requirement of the Settlement terms. Guaranteeing the operation and use of the New Hope Shelter on the current Property will avoid requiring the City to acquire separate private property and will allow the City to enjoy the benefits of its agreement with Mercy House through the end of September 2024, thus resulting in the greatest public good with the least private injury.

General Plan Consistency
As provided, the Project is consistent with and implements the Bellflower General Plan, including, without limitation, the Land Use Element ("LUE") and Housing Element ("HE") as follows:
• GP LUE Goal 2.1-Create opportunities wherein a population diverse in terms of income, age, occupation, race, lifestyle, values, interest, and religion may interact, exchange ideas and realize common goals.
• GP HE Policy 2.1-designate sufficient land in the GP LU and zoning for the development of a range of housing types to meet the identified needs of all economic segments of the community, while providing a high quality of life for all residents.
• GP HE Policy 2.2-facilitate and encourage the development of affordable housing for seniors, large families, persons with disability, and other identified special housing needs.
• GP HE Policy 4.1-Continue to support and coordinate with public and private efforts aimed at preventing and reducing poverty level incomes. • GP HE Policy 5.6-Explore opportunities for new residential development within those areas of the City occupied by vacant or underutilized commercial or industrial uses.

Precondemnation Offer
Pursuant to Government Code 7267.2, on or about November 30, 2023, the City presented a fair market value offer to the Owner for the acquisition of the Property in the amount of $1,950,000 which was based upon an appraisal by Cushman & Wakefield, an independent professional appraiser, with a date of value of November 1, 2023. See Attachment 2. Although the Owner has received the City's offer, to-date, the Owner has not accepted or rejected it. Questions relating to the Property's value are not yet relevant; the proposed action is only to commence the filing of an eminent domain action.

THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY POOLED SURPLUS INVESTMENTS

The Treasurer and Tax Collector (Treasurer) of Los Angeles County has the delegated authority to invest funds on deposit in the County Treasury (Treasury Pool). As of June 30, 2025, investments in the Treasury Pool were held for local agencies including school districts, community college districts, special districts and discretionary depositors such as cities and independent districts in the following amounts:

The Treasury Pool participation composition is as follows:

Decisions on the investment of funds in the Treasury Pool are made by the County Investment Officer in accordance with established policy, with certain transactions requiring the Treasurer's prior approval. In Los Angeles County, investment decisions are governed by Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 53600) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code, which governs legal investments by local agencies in the State of California, and by a more restrictive Investment Policy developed by the Treasurer and adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on an annual basis. The Investment Policy adopted on March 11, 2025, reaffirmed the following criteria and order of priority for selecting investments:

1. Safety of Principal

2. Liquidity

3. Return on Investment

The Treasurer prepares a monthly Report of Investments summarizing the status of the Treasury Pool, including the current market value of all investments. This report is submitted monthly to the Board of Supervisors. According to the Report of Investments dated July 31, 2025, the June 30, 2025, book value of the Treasury Pool was approximately $58.868 billion, and the corresponding market value was approximately $57.406 billion.

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

The following table identifies the types of securities held by the Treasury Pool as of June 30, 2025:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This action would authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement File No. 464.6 with Kingdom Causes Bellflower (“KCB”). The purpose of this Agreement is to increase the funding to KCB for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2025-2026 to expand and continue providing Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing services for residents.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement File No. 464.6, in a form approved by the City Attorney; or

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

FISCAL IMPACT

The total compensation to be paid to KCB under this Agreement is an amount not to exceed $250,000 in FY 2025-2026. Sufficient funds for these services have already been budgeted in Account No. 974-44802-7322 using the City of Bellflower Successor Housing Agency’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Funds (“LMIHAF”).

DISCUSSION - Continued

Assistance under the HPRP may include rental vouchers, mediation services, housing searches, credit counseling/repair, and related costs for eligible extremely low-income and at-risk homeless populations.

Since its inception in 2016, HPRP has assisted approximately 240 families or individuals in the City with housing-related services and short-term rental assistance. During the current fiscal year, 28 households have been provided housing stability and avoided homelessness, while 11 households have received assistance through the Low-Income Rental Assistance Voucher Program, which gives rental vouchers for up to 12 months to those who are already homeless.

In FY 2024-2025, KCB exhausted the total funds allocated by the City of Bellflower Successor Housing Agency’s LMIHAF to help Bellflower residents avoid homelessness.

With the exhaustion of the funds for FY 2024-2025, KCB expressed difficulty in assisting applicants experiencing homelessness due to increased rents. This was addressed in the FY 2025-2027 Budget by increasing funding to the HPRP with available LMIHA Funds.

The FY 2025-2026 budget for HPRP is below:

Program Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
$250,000 LMIHAF Breakdown

Administration (KCB) $25,000
Case Management (KCB) $85,000
Rental Assistance Funds (KCB) $140,000
Total: $250,000

Should SHA 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, AGENCY will defend SHA (at SHA’s request and with counsel satisfactory to SHA) and will indemnify SHA for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise.

B. For purposes of this section “SHA” includes SHA’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 AGENCY as required by Section 31, and any approval of said insurance by SHA, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by AGENCY pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

28. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for AGENCY’S professional services.

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

29. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. SHA and AGENCY agree that AGENCY will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which is it performed. AGENCY will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with SHA. AGENCY is not an agent or employee of SHA and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits SHA provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give SHA the right to direct AGENCY as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that AGENCY will follow the direction of the SHA as to end results of the work only.

30. AUDIT OF RECORDS. AGENCY will maintain full and accurate records with respect to all services and matters covered under this Agreement. SHA 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. AGENCY will retain such financial and program service records for at least four (4) years after termination or final payment under this Agreement.

31. INSURANCE.

A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this Agreement is effective, AGENCY 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 SHA, 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 SHA 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 SHA.

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,” AGENCY 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 AGENCY for all claims made by SHA arising out of any errors or omissions of AGENCY, 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. AGENCY will furnish to SHA 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 may be reasonably required by SHA 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 AGENCY, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, SHA may obtain such coverage at AGENCY’S expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to AGENCY under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to Section 16.

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

32. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. AGENCY must obtain SHA’s prior written approval to use any subcontractor while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must be of the proposed subcontractor and the terms of compensation. The subcontractor for any specific project scopes of work and services will be listed in the Task Order.

33. INCIDENTAL TASKS. When required by any Task Order, AGENCY will meet with SHA 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.

34. 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:

EXHIBIT A – INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, AGENCY will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. AGENCY will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, AGENCY agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. AGENCY acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this Section constitute the minimum amount of coverage requir ed.

Any insurance proceeds available to SHA more than the limits and coverage required in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to SHA.

AGENCY shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:

Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office " Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross-liability for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than 2, 000, 000 (Two Million Dollars) per occurrence.

Workers' Compensation on a State- approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer's liability limits of no less than $ 1,000,000 (one million) per accident or disease.

Insurance pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A. M. Best rating of A - or better and a minimum financial size VII.

General conditions pertaining to provisions of insurance coverage by AGENCY.

1. AGENCY agrees to have its insurer endorse the third - party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insured SHA, its officers, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 20 10 with an edition prior to 1992. AGENCY also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

2. No liability Insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit AGENCY, or AGENCY' s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss.

Agreement File No. 464.4
Kingdom Causes Bellflower

Page 20 of 30 ends

3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by AGENCY and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Agreement relating to the SHA or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.

4. None of the coverage required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to SHA and approved of in writing.

5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so- called " third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any AGENCY or sub-AGENCY.

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the SHA, as the need arises. AGENCY shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage ( e. g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect SHA's protection without SHA's prior written consent.

7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverage required and an additional insured endorsement to AGENCY's general liability policy, shall be delivered to the SHA Clerk at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, SHA has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other Agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by SHA shall be charged to and promptly paid by AGENCY or deducted from sums due AGENCY, at SHA' s option.

8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days' notice to SHA of any cancellation of coverage. AGENCY agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will " endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.

9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by AGENCY or any sub-AGENCY, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non- contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to SHA.

10. AGENCY agrees to ensure that sub- AGENCYs, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by AGENCY, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of AGENCY. AGENCY agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Section. AGENCY agrees that upon
