PUBLIC COMMENT: No public present
STUDY SESSION: DISCUSSION ON PLANNING MATTERS RELATED TO THE
HOUSING ELEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CODE
SUMMARY: City Planner Kasama stated that on February 7, 2022 the City Council met in a Study Session to review planning matters related to the Housing Element and other Development Code items. A second study session was scheduled for March 7, 2022 to continue the discussion.
HOUSING ELEMENT: The current Housing Element (6th Cycle) is due on October 15, 2022. To meet this deadline, the Housing Consultant, Veronica Tam and Associates, Inc. outlined the schedule presented in the February 7, 2022 agenda report. The schedule will need to be updated.
City Planner Kasama stated that several issues were brought up at the February 7, 2022 meeting regarding changes to the Development Code that are necessary for the new Housing Element and implementation of Senate Bill 9.
One of the changes needed is the designation of at least one site that will allow for multiple-family housing at a density of at least 20 units per acre. The only site that can be readily designated by the City is the civic center, and this is to be done by applying the Affordable Housing Overlay Zone.
Minutes CC Meeting
March 7, 2022
This overlay zone can be applied to any residentially-zone parcel by an owner. So far, this overlay zone has not been utilized. The overlay zone needs to be updated to align-with current affordable housing definitions and mandates. An ordinance for the updating of the overlay zone and the
application of the overlay to the civic center should be processed concurrently with the Housing Element.
SINGLE-ROOM-OCCUPANCY Another issue are the standards for the Single-Room- (SRO) UNITS: Occupancy (SRO) Units. For these to be considered dwelling units, the State is requiring that such units have cooking facilities. The City's current standards do not allow cooking facilities. The City's definition for SROs is to be amended to allow cooking facilities.
URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 380 In December 2021, the City Council adopted Urgency AND SENATE BILL 9: Ordinance No. 380 to comply with Senate Bill 9, which requires that cities ministerially approve the development of up to two units on single-family-zoned lots and ministerially approve certain lot splits for the development of two units per lot.
OTHER MATTERS: Other matters are the updating of the Safety Element, replacement of Urgency Ordinance No. 380 with a regular Ordinance reviewed through public hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council, and the adding of family child care homes as allowed uses to the residential zones.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council discuss the Housing Element and any other matters that the Council wishes to raise, and direct staff on how to proceed.
DISCUSSION: Councilmember Barakat inquired if any lot in any zone can be split. Acting City Attorney Kranitz replied yes. The lots would be considered "non-conforming" and the development standards of the applicable zone would still apply.
The City Council discussed increasing SROs from 250 to 300 square feet to accommodate kitchen facilities, and to eliminate bunkhouses because they do not count as residential units for RHNA because they lack individual kitchen areas. Can SROS be limited to people who work on the property?
The City Council asked Ms. Tam if the Administrative Housing Element Draft will be ready on Friday, March 11th. Ms. Tam replied most likely yes.
Veronica Tam also stated that the State eliminated the 4-year Housing Element update cycle.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lathrop inquired about the November 2022
ballot initiative. Lisa Kranitz stated that the initiative has been pushed back to November 2024.

DUSD is building a new high-school gymnasium. The old one was built in 1960. Construction of new gymnasium is estimated to be completed in the fall of 2024.

After hosting various virtual
stakeholder workshops and reviewing and revising drafts, the CWPP final draft is ready.
Minutes CC Meeting
March 15, 2022
PRESENTATION BY DUDEK: Noah Stamm of DUDEK stated that Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a community-based plan focused on identifying-and-addressing local hazards-and risks from wildfire.
CWPPs are authorized and defined in Title I of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA), passed by Congress in 2003.
A CWPP determines area-specific risks and provides and
action plan for a community to address the wildfire threat.
Three central components of a CWPP include collaboration, prioritized fuel reduction, and treatment of structural ignitability.
During this past year, DUDEK has finalized a CWPP that caters specifically to the City of Bradbury and identifies areas for fuel-reduction treatments and recommends
measures that homeowners can take to reduce ignitability of structures throughout the community. The CWPP includes the following section:
Introduction: Community Involvement, Funding/Grant Management Plan Area Description: Fire Hazard Areas, Climate, Evacuation • Planning and Regulatory Environment: Assessment Methods, Hazard Assessment Results
• Values at Risk: At-Risk Community, Life Safety, Natural Resources • Action Plan: Goals, Funding, Vegetation/Fuels Management DUDEK also created and included various maps in the CWPP that illustrate Very Hight Fire Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), evacuation plans, fire hydrant locations, fire behavior modeling results and more.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to finalize the document and formally close out the CalOES grant, it is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
DISCUSSION: Councilmember Lewis advised DUDEK not to rely on Google maps as they are often inaccurate. Mr. Stamm replied that DUDEK got the fire hydrant maps from the water company
(Cal-Am). Mr. Stamm stated that DUDEK will update the maps.
Resident Hector Escobar, 2317 Elda Street, inquired if DUDEK studied the vegetation around homes. The answer was yes.
City Manager Kearney stated that the City has other resources as well.

AWARD OF BID TO FRESH COAT Management Analyst Musa stated that Staff has solicited OF MONROVIA FOR INTERIOR AND proposals from painting vendors and received three quotes that EXTERIOR PAINTING OF THE rom $17,633.31 to $23,000
BRADBURY CIVIC CENTER:
The Bradbury Civic Center was constructed in 2010, and it has not been painted since. Online research suggests that a business should be painted approximately every three to five years. It has been 12 years since the Civic Center was painted.
QUOTES RECEIVED: Staff received the following three quotes:
1. Fresh Coat Painting $17,663.31
2. Ramos Painting $19,600.00
3. Western Painting $23,000.00
SCOPE OF SERVICES: Based on the quotes received, Staff recommends awarding the bid to Fresh Coat Painting of Monrovia for $17,663.31. The company is State licensed, EPA certified and insured. Services include painting of the Council Chambers, City Hall interior, kitchen and bathrooms. Sanding and staining of the Council Chambers wood panels is also included. Services cover
external power washing, and painting of stucco, trim, columns and beam, door and railings.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: The FY 2021-22 budget does not include painting services, but can be covered through either general anticipated year-end surplus or through the City's fund balance. Monies should be appropriated to cover such services. Staff is recommending an appropriation of $20,000 to cover all anticipated and
unanticipated costs associated with contracting with Fresh Coat Painting.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council award the bid to Fresh Coast of Monrovia for $17,336.31 for interior and exterior painting of the Bradbury Civic Center. It is also recommended that the City Council approve an appropriation to account #101-16-6447 in the amount of $20,000 for FY 2021-22, which would cover painting services and any contingency that may arise.
DISCUSSION: Councilmember Barakat stated that stucco doesn't get painted.
Councilmember Lewis disagreed. Councilmember Lewis
pointed out that the primer for stucco was not included in the bid. Do we need a new bid? The answer was no.
City Manager Kearney stated that we still have the old paint cans, so we can use the same color as before.
Councilmember Hale suggested to paint the crown moldings in a different color to make them stand out and that it won't cost Minutes CC Meeting

DISCUSSION ON ELECTRIC City Manager Kearney stated that at the request of Mayor Pro- CHARGING STATIONS AT THE Tem Lathrop Staff has been exploring the installation of electric BRADBURY CIVIC CENTER: charging stations at the Bradbury Civic Center. The idea is that one or more stations could be placed on the property with grant funding from Southern California Edison's (SCE) Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program. Prior to bringing this item to the City Council, Staffs goal was to meet with at least one contractor who could provide a quote on the costs for such a venture. Unfortunately, Staff has been struggling to determine costs and feels that the program can only be explored by hiring a contractor/consultant, such as RKA, to assist Staff in determining actual costs. Once a plan is in place and costs are understood, only then would staff be able to pursue grant funding through SCE.
Through initial research, Staff has determined that if the charging station is public, all access in and around the charging station must be ADA compliant. The area in front of City Hall might be best suited since the slopes in the rear parking area might be too severe to be ADA compliant. With SCE grant funding, SCE requires a minimum of two stations with four charging ports.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council discuss the installation of electric charging stations at the Bradbury Civic Center. If the City Council desires to move forward with the charging stations, Staff will work with RKA, or another vendor, to develop plans and determine costs.
DISCUSSION: The City Council talked about who would get to charge their car at the Civic Center (residents, staff, etc.). Councilmember Hale stated that the City would lose money if the charging stations were free of charge and that the City should require credit card payment. City Manager Kearney stated that there are credit card vendors, such a Charge Point.
Mayor Bruny stated that we need more information. City
Manager Kearney replied that Staff can bring this item back to the City Council and invite Charge Point to make a
presentation.
Minutes CC Meeting
March 15, 2022
Councilmember Hale stated that Commissioner Frank
Hernandez is an electrician and that he should have a look at it.
City Attorney Reisman suggested that Staff contact Rivian (a car company) about funding charging stations in Bradbury.
NO ACTION TAKEN: The City Council took no further action at this meeting.
RESOLUTION NO. 22-08: VOTE OF NO A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRADBURY
CONFIDENCE IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY OF VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY DISTRICT DISTRICT ATTORNEY GEORGE GASCON: ATTORNEY GEORGE GASCON SUMMARY: City Manager Kearney stated that at the request of Council- member Barakat, the City Council is going to discuss the performance of Los Angeles County District Attorney Gascón.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has a legal responsibility to execute laws enacted by voters or the state legislature. These laws protect the public and uphold
prosecutorial policies. Since his swearing-in on December 7, 2020, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has issued numerous special directives which undermine these legislative and ballot processes. Additionally, they may be viewed as placing the safety of the general public at risk.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 22-08, which casts a vote of no confidence in the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lathrop stated that he would like to strike Sections 1 and 2 of the Resolution. Councilmember Barakat stated Bradbury is not the only City adopting this Resolution.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lathrop replied that he doesn't want to pick a fight with the District Attorney.
MOTION: Councilmember Hale made motion to approve Resolution No. 22-08: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BRADBURY OF VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY GEORGE GASCON. Councilmember Barakat

The City Council concurred.

DATE: April 19, 2022
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF A DRAFT ORDINANCE IMPLEMENTING SENATE BILL 9 INTO THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT CODE
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Draft Ordinance - Clean Version
2) Draft Ordinance - Redline Version
3) Revised Housing Chart
BACKGROUND
The City Council held meetings on February 2, 2022 and March 7, 2022 to review the impacts of SB 9 and to discuss its implementation into the City's development code. At the March 2022 meeting, Staff received sufficient direction from the City Council to move forward with producing a draft ordinance.
The attached draft is based on the City Council's direction from the March 2022 meeting.
In addition to implementing SB 9, it makes other related changes to the City's Development Code relating to Secondary Living Quarters. It is recommended that the City Council review the draft ordinance, provide any feedback, and send the draft ordinance to the Planning Commission for it to undergo its formal review process.
SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the major provisions of the ordinance:
• Repeals Urgency Ordinance No. 380 on SB 9 and replaces it with this ordinance.
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA_4 - 19 AGENDA ITEM #_ 2
Review of Draft SB9 Ordinance
• Chapter 85 of the Development Code currently regulates Secondary Living Quarters which are defined as accessory living quarters and the various types of accessory dwelling units. This ordinance expands Chapter 85 to cover SB 9 residential units as well.
• The definition of accessory living quarters is amended by deleting the reference to bunk houses and individual SROs. Additionally, the units within an SRO development and guest houses shall now be required to have kitchen facilities so that they count as housing units for purposes of annual reporting on housing units.
The size limit for each individual SRO unit is increased from 250 to 300 square feet due to the addition of the kitchen requirement.
• Definitions are added relating to the implementation of SB 9:
• A legacy lot is a lot that is split under the provisions of SB 9 that contained the primary unit.
• In the case of a lot split, the primary unit or main house means the existing or proposed largest single-family dwelling on the legacy lot. • An SB 9 unit is the residential dwelling allowed on a lot under the provisions of SB 9, as implemented by the Bradbury Municipal Code. • The charts of allowed primary units, secondary living quarters, and SB 9 living quarters had been amended in accordance with what was understood to be Council direction:
• Additional units will not be allowed under SB 9 if there is an ADU as the SB 9 unit can be built in lieu of the ADU unit at the same size as the ADU unit.
In the case of a lot split, the legacy lot will be allowed to develop in the same manner as a single lot; however, the accessory living quarters will only be allowed to develop at ½ the size and density allowed on a single lot. The new SB 9 lot will only be allowed to develop 2 SB 9 units that are each a maximum of 800 square feet and accessory living quarters at ½ the size and density of the original lot.
• Staff felt that it made more sense to split the accessory living quarters between the 2 lots rather than allow all of the development to be placed on one of the divided lots.
• A chart showing the allowed housing development within the various zones in 2016, 2019, current, and proposed is attached to show that the City has not reduced the density level or development potential Review of Draft SB9 Ordinance
from what was in place in 2018.
• Minor changes are made to the ADU provisions to eliminate subjective standards which do not meet the requirement that only objective standards be imposed. • Design standards for the color and roof pitch of an SB 9 unit have been added.
Additionally, a SB 9 unit has to meet all objective standards of the underlying zoning code.
• Chapter 86 of the Development Code is repealed in its entirety. Chapter 86 regulates Accessory Living Quarters and should have been repealed when Article IV relating to Accessory Living Quarters was added to Chapter 85 in 2021. • SB 9 units will be prohibited on the following streets, the same as ADU units, due to the width of the street being less than 20 feet:
a. Furlong Lane-between Deodar Lane and Long Canyon Road; b. Oak Knoll Lane-east of Bliss Canyon Road;
c. Woodlyn Lane-between Bradbury Hills Road and El Cielo Lane; and d. Bradbury Hills Road.
NEXT STEPS
Once the City Council confirms that the draft ordinance reflects the Council's desired direction, it will be sent to the Planning Commission for a noticed public hearing before returning to the City Council for another noticed public hearing.
In addition to this ordinance, staff will be bringing forth other changes to the Development Code related to programs that need to be implemented in conjunction with the City's Housing Element in the next few months.
It is recommended that the City Council review the draft ordinance, provide any feedback, and send the draft ordinance to the Planning Commission for it to undergo its formal review process.

SUMMARY
For years, the Cities of Arcadia, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia and Sierra Madre have been disgustinents. Therealission heive materialized ory real rect a reater, funded through the Safe Clean Water (LA County's Measure W) program. The funding of the regional project brought to the forefront a number of complexities associated with the current structure of how the Cities operate together to meet these requirements. The formation of a JPA (Attachment #1) would be a solution to these complexities and act as a mechanism to provide liability protections to the Cities, provide the ability to bond on behalf of the cities and be the key holder of any potential land acquisition that may arise in the future.
This report provides background on stormwater requirements, provides general information on a JPA, why a JPA is currently desired between the Cities, and reviews the foreseeable financial obligations of the JPA. Additional information on the JPA and its process can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions (Attachment #2).
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA_4-19 AGENDA ITEM # . 3
Adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
AMONG THE CITIES OF ARCADIA, BRADBURY, DUARTE, MONROVIA AND SIERRA
MADRE, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING THE RIO HONDO/SAN GABRIEL RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY.
BACKGROUND
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit ("MS4 Permit", Order No. R4-2012-0175) establishes the waste discharge requirements for stormwater and non-stormwater discharges within the watersheds of Los Angeles County. The MS4 Permit was adopted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region ("Regional Board"), on November 8, 2012, and became effective on December 28, 2012. The MS4 Permit includes provisions that allow permittees the flexibility to customize their stormwater programs to achieve compliance over time on a watershed scale utilizing customized strategies, control measures, and Best Management Practices ("BMPs").
In May 2013, the Cities of Arcadia, Azusa, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia, and Sierra Madre, along with the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District entered into a joint Memorandum of Understanding for cost sharing and the development of the Enhanced Watershed Management Program ("EWMP") and the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan ("CIMP") or "Plans" for the Rio Hondo/San Gabriel River watersheds.
The EWMP plan was completed and submitted to the Regional Board on July 28, 2014, and subsequently approved in April 2016 with the requirement to start implementing the plan. The EWMP plan consisted of 10 regional projects and 436 lane miles of "green streets" (e.g., bio-retention, bio-filtration and permeable pavement systems within the street right-of-way that are designed to reduce runoff and improve water quality) to be completed over the next two decades. An excerpt of these regional projects is found in Attachment #3. These projects are not the most current, as there have been changes and continues to be evaluation, but they still provide the City Council with an idea of how these types of projects are situated.
In December 2016, the Group amended the Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") to collaborate on the EWMP revision without the City of Azusa. A revised EWMP was submitted in March 2018, which was conditionally approved a year later on March 2019 but was downgraded from a revised EWMP to a Watershed Management Program (the "WMP"). The downgrade was the result of the changes in the control measures proposed in the revised EWMP.
Throughout the years, the Cities involved in the EWMP/MP have discussed the idea of formulating a joint powers authority to help streamline efforts, shield the Cities from liability, and act as a mechanism should any land acquisition needs arise. Those Adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement
discussions never materialized until recently when one of regional projects, Encanto Park, was recently funded by the Safe Clean Water (LA County's Measure W) program.
ANALYSIS
What is a JPA?
"Joint powers" is a term used to describe government agencies that have agreed to combine their powers and resources to work on their common problems, and joint powers agreements offer another way for governments to deliver services. Joint powers are exercised when two or more agencies agree to create another legal entity to establish a joint approach to work on a common problem, fund a project, or act as a representative body for a specific agency. Examples of JPAs around the area include the SGVCOG and Foothill Transit - each comprises of multiple cities as members and each are tasked with their specific purposes.
A joint powers agreement is a formal, legal agreement between two or more public agencies that share a common power and want to jointly implement programs, build facilities, or deliver services. A joint powers agreement typically establishes a joint powers authority (JPA). A JPA is a new, separate government organization created by the member agencies, but is legally independent from them. Like a joint powers agreement (in which one agency administers the terms of the agreement), a joint powers authority shares powers common to the member agencies, and those powers are outlined in the joint powers agreement.
Governments obtain their authority to work together from a state law called the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Section 6500, et seq.). JPAs can exercise only those powers that are common to their member agencies. For example, three fire project districts and an adjacent city can form a JPA to run a fire department because each member agency has the power to run a fire department. However, this same JPA can't maintain the local parks because fire districts lack that statutory authority.
JPA meetings are open to the public and subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act. Further, JPAs must follow the Public Records Act, the Political Reform Act, and other public interest laws to ensure political transparency.
The formation of a JPA begins when public officials negotiate a formal agreement that spells out the member agencies' intentions, the powers that they will share, and other mutually acceptable conditions that define the intergovernmental arrangement. Each member agency's governing body then approves the joint powers agreement.
An agreement that creates a new joint powers agency describes the size, structure, and membership of the JPA's government board and documents the JPA's powers and functions. As a legally separate public agency, the JPA can sue or be sued, hire staff, obtain financing to build public facilities, and manage property.
Adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement
Why a JPA is desired?
The Cities of Cities of Arcadia, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia and Sierra Madre ('Group') has been contemplating the formulation a JPA for many years to meet stormwater requirements. The Group has been operating within each of the cities picking up the burden to ensure the Group maintains its current operational, administrative, and financial obligations. Although the Group's functions were being sustained, such noncentralized efforts are starting to become evident now that the Group has a regional project funded.
Further detail on these complexities are outlined in the Frequently Asked Questions (Attachment #2). Such complexities will only continue to grow as the Group further explores and receives funding for the Group's larger regional projects.
A JPA can act as the central hub for operational, administrative, and financial activities.
It also allows the Group to exercise the powers in common. This includes activities such as making and entering into contracts; acquire, construct, manage, maintain or operate any building, structure, work or improvement; sue and be sued, apply for and receive grands and other financial aid, obtain insurance, prepare and support or oppose legislation or administrative action, and conduct outreach.
To date, Staff and City Attorney's from the Cities of Arcadia, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia and Sierra Madre have all reviewed and preliminarily approved the joint powers agreement and have agreed to bring the document to their city councils for review and formal approval within the next 30 or so days.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Upcoming costs in the foreseeable future as a result of a JPA formation includes the costs to hire an external auditor and purchase insurance. There is a possibility that there may be costs associated with staffing but at this point is unknown. It should be stated that the City of Arcadia is collecting a 5% administrative fee for fulfilling the Group's administrative and financial needs. It is possible that this administrative fee is continued and is then paid into the JPA to fund staff and/or consultants to cover the Group's administrative/financial obligations.
There will be future costs associated with meeting stormwater permitting requirements.
These costs will occur regardless if a JPA is formed. Years ago, a cost-sharing formula was informally established for shared expenses. This formula is slated to be solidified in the JPA. There have been calls to alter the formula throughout the years, all of which would be of detriment to Bradbury, so the solidification of the formula is beneficial to the City.

In such case, the City Clerk of the Lead Agency shall be and act as the Secretary for the Authority and the Director of Finance of the Lead Agency shall be and act as the Treasurer and Auditor of the Authority, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6505.6. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 6505.1, the Secretary and Treasurer shall have charge of the property of the Authority and each shall file an official bond in the penal sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or such additional amount as the Governing Board may establish. The Authority is authorized to pay the additional costs of such bonds, if any. By majority vote, the Governing Board may change the Lead Agency at any time. In such event, the officers of the new Lead Agency shall serve as the respective officers of the Authority. (f) Property of the Authority. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 6505.1, the Governing Board may designate an officer or employee, or officers and employees, in addition to the Secretary and Treasurer, to receive, deposit, invest, and disburse the money of the Authority pursuant to California Government Code Sections 6505.5 and 6509.5. The Governing Board shall fix the amount of the official bond to be filed by each such designee.
Corporate and Political Powers. For purposes of exercising its authority, and subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Authority shall have all joint powers specified in California Government Code Section 6508 including, but not limited to, any or all of the following:

Expenditures and Contributions. From time to time, the Governing Board may require Member contributions in order to make expenditures necessary to carry out the purposes and functions of the Authority which may include, but are not limited to, retention of consultants) to conduct studies and prepare plans, reports and designs, and/or provide management services and the costs of project implementation. The contributions required from Members shall be determined pursuant to the Cost Allocation Formula set forth in Exhibit A, unless a deviation is approved by unanimous vote of all members of the Governing Board. Any individual expenditure of the Authority in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000) shall require a super-majority vote.
Within thirty (30) days of such a contribution requirement being approved by the Governing Board, each Member shall make the required contribution, providing that any Member not wishing to make such contribution may, in the alternative, withdraw from the Authority within said period by adopting a resolution of withdrawal by its legislative body.
10. Eligibility for Membership and Admission. Any local public agency that is a member of the Rio Hondo/San Gabriel River Watershed Quality Group may apply to become a member of the Authority and may become a Member upon a super-majority vote of the Governing Board. Upon admission, each new Member shall immediately execute this Agreement. At the time of approval of admission, the Governing Board may request that the new Member make a voluntary payment of its share of any costs incurred by the Authority to date, to the extent the benefit of those costs will be derived or will continue to be derived after the new Member agency -6-
has joined the Authority. Such shares shall be determined according to the Cost Allocation Formula set forth in Exhibit A.
1l. Withdrawal by a Member. Subject to the provisions of this section, any Member may withdraw from the Authority by providing the Governing Board no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice including a copy of the initiating resolution approved by the legislative body of the withdrawing Member. The withdrawing Member shall pay all unpaid contributions that were approved by the Governing Board more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the notice of withdrawal. No Member may withdraw unless and until it has satisfied any and all outstanding contractual obligations, or other indebtedness for which such Member would otherwise be obligated, in whole or in part, to pay. "Outstanding contractual obligations" includes the obligations for payments on contracts which the Authority has entered into and are legally binding but where additional services will be performed in the future, until the contract has been fully performed.
12. Accounts, Reports, and Audits. The following procedures shall be followed to ensure strict accountability of all funds of the Authority and to provide for accurate reporting of receipts and disbursements of said funds:
The auditor of the Authority shall either prepare or contract with a certified public accountant to prepare an annual audit of the Authority's accounts and records. The minimum requirements for such audits shall be those prescribed by the State Controller for special districts under California Government Code Section 26909 or successor statute and shall conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
(b) A report of said audit shall be filed as a public record with each Member and with the County Auditor of the County of Los Angeles. Such report shall be filed within six (6) months of the end of the fiscal year or years under examination.
Any additional procedures pertaining to accountability of funds and assets of the Authority, as specified in the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, shall be followed.
13. Obligation for Debts and Liabilities and Distribution of Assets. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall be individually responsible for any of the debts, liabilities or obligations of the Authority, and all such debts, liabilities and obligations shall exclusively be those of the Authority.
(a) Indemnification.
(1) Each Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Authority and all other Members, and employees, officers and agents of the Authority, free and harmless with respect to any and all claims, liabilities, losses, and damages, including legal fees and expenses, to the extent arising out of or connected with the acts or omissions, or breach or default, of such Member, or any person or entity acting on behalf of such Member, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(2) The Authority shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, jointly and severally, each of its Members and the Members' officers, officials, employees, agents, and -7-
representatives with respect to any loss, damage, injury, claim, litigation, or liability, including attorney's fees and costs, arising out of or in any way related to the creation of operation, functioning, decisions, or actions of the Authority or the Authority's officers, officials, employees, agents, or representatives.
(3) The provision of indemnity set forth in this Section shall not be construed to obligate the Authority to pay any liability, including but not limited to punitive damages, which by law would be contrary to public policy or otherwise unlawful. (4). To the full extent permitted by law, the Authority shall require that all contractors and partners in Authority business and activities shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Authority and its Members for that entity's acts or omissions, or breach or default, consistent with this Section 13(a).
(b) Tort Liability. Government Code Section 895.2 imposes certain tort liability jointly upon public agencies solely by reason of such public agencies being parties to an agreement as defined in Government Code Section 895. Therefore, the Member public agencies, as among themselves, pursuant to the authorization contained in Government Code Sections 895.4 and 895.6, each assume the full liability imposed upon it or any of its officers, agents, employees or representatives by law for injury caused by a negligent or wrongful action or inaction, or omission, occurring in the performance of this Agreement, to the same extent that such liability would be imposed in the absence of Government Code Section 895.2. To achieve this purpose, each Member indemnifies and holds harmless each other Member and the Authority, for any loss, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees and consultant fees that may be imposed upon or incurred by such other Member or the Authority solely by virtue of Government Code Section 895.2.
Funds for Defense. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) or (b), above, by a super-majority vote of the Governing Board, the Governing Board may approve the expenditure of Authority funds to defend, indemnify and hold the Authority, members of the Governing Board, and any employee or agent of the Authority, free and harmless from claims and liabilities arising in connection with their actions taken in good faith, and while within the scope of their duties being performed on behalf of the Authority. (d) Self-Insure. The Authority may self-insure or purchase insurance, and/or require the Members to self-insure or purchase insurance, in order to comply with any of the defense and indemnity requirements herein.
(e) Privileges and Immunities. All of the privileges and immunities from liability, exemptions from laws, ordinances, and rules, all pension, relief, disability, worker's compensation, and other benefits which apply to the activity of officers, agents, or employees of any Member when performing their respective functions within the territorial limits of the Member, shall apply to them to the same degree and extent while engaged in the performance of any of their functions and duties extraterritorially hereunder.
14. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement by the Authority consistent with Section 4, all of the existing assets shall be divided and distributed for public -8-
purposes in such manner as shall be determined by a super-majority vote of the Governing Board provided, however, that this Agreement and the Governing Board shall continue to exist for the purposes of disposing of all claims, administering the distribution of assets, and performing any other functions necessary to conclude the affairs of the Authority. This Agreement may not be terminated so long as the Authority has any outstanding contractual obligations or other indebtedness.
15. Notices. Notices permitted or required to be sent pursuant to this Agreement shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight delivery service addressed as follows:
To each Member at each Member public agency's official business address, personally addressed to the that agency's Governing Board member;
To the Authority at Attention:
Secretary. This address shall be the Authority's official business address. This address may be changed by approval of the Governing Board and the giving of written notice to each Member at their official business address.
16. Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended, upon the recommendation of a super-majority vote of the Governing Board, by the unanimous vote of the legislative bodies of the Members acting by resolution with all such resolutions adopted within 90 days of the action by the Governing Board.
17. Legal Actions.
(a) Remedies. The Authority is hereby authorized to take any and all legal or equitable actions, including but not limited to, seeking an injunction and/or specific performance, necessary or permitted by law, to enforce this Agreement.

JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
Frequently Asked Questions
RIO HONDO
1. Who is currently involved in the Rio Hondo/San SAN GABRIEL RIVER
WATER QUALITY GROUP
Gabriel River Water Quality Group?
The Rio Hondo/San Gabriel River Water Quality Group (herein 'Group') was created to fulfil the requirements of the Los Angeles County MS4 Permit and comprises of the Cities of Arcadia, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia and Sierra Madre, County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District.
2. What complexities is the Group facing with their current structure? The Group has been operating with different cities picking up the burden to ensure the Group maintains its current operational, administrative, and financial obligations. For example, the City of Arcadia has been acting as the central administrative hub in going out to bid for the Group's consultants, securing/holding contracts, and billing the County and other cities for their portion of the Group's contractual services. Whereas, the City of Monrovia has been at times acting as the operational lead in coordinating with consultants in drafting feasibility studies and liaising with external organizations. Such noncentralized efforts are starting to become evident now that the Group has a regional project funded.
The Group's Encanto Park regional project, located in the City of Duarte, is an example of the complexities associated with the Group's current structure. The City of Monrovia applied for Safe, Clean Water (Measure W) grant funding for the project, and it was awarded to Monrovia - however, the project is located in the City Duarte. The Group's current structure surfaces complex questions, such as:
• If a liability incident were to occur at the construction site - who's liable for such accidents/incidents - Monrovia, Duarte, both, or the entire Group? • How might the City of Arcadia's role as the central administrative/financial hub impact the future project, especially if Monrovia holds the funds? • How will long term maintenance be addressed and who is the lead/responsible City? Such complexities will only continue to grow as the Group further explores and receives funding for the Group's larger regional projects.
3. Benefits of a JPA?
The JPA offers benefits to the Group and can be a solution to the Group's current complexities.
The JPA can act as the central hub for operational, administrative and financial activities; whereas, the JPA can be the bidder, holder, and owner of contracts. Since the JPA can secure separate 1 | Page
insurance, this provides liability protections to the organizations that are a part of the Group. The JPA can also 'own' projects which further reduces liability risks to the Group's organizations. The JPA would have the ability to bond on behalf of cities and be the key holder of any potential land acquisition that may arise in the future.
4. Which entities would be a part of the JPA?
The created Rio Hondo/San Gabriel River Watershed Management Joint Powers Authority would consist of the Cities of Arcadia, Bradbury Duarte, Monrovia and Sierra Madre.
5. Why wouldn't the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District be involved in the JPA if they are a part of the original Water Quality Group?
The purpose of establishing the JPA is to jointly exercise the powers in common. This includes activities such as making and entering into contracts; acquire, construct, manage, maintain or operate any building, structure, work or improvement; sue and be sued, apply for and receive grants and other financial aid, obtain insurance, prepare and support or oppose legislation or administrative action, and conduct public outreach.
The JPA would be engaged in some activities that the County of Los Angeles cannot participate in, including public outreach and legislative advocacy. The County of Los Angeles has their own outreach efforts, and only the County Board of Supervisors can advocate for legislation or policies on behalf of the County. Additionally, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, as a separate entity, has the same issue as the County of Los Angeles. Moreover, the Flood Control District also lacks General Police Power Authority, which is the power to undertake any activity to further the general health and welfare of the Community. The Flood Control District's authority to implement stormwater regulations is limited only to those activities that it is obligated by the MS4 Permit to undertake.
6. How does partnership and shared liability work if the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District are not a part of the JPA?
The County of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County Flood Control District will continue to enter into project-specific agreements with the JPA and cost-share, just as it has been doing with current projects. Per the JPA Agreement, the County of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County Flood Control District are not members but are permittees under the MS4 permit and participants in the WMP (Watershed Management Program). As such, they would cooperate as necessary with the JPA to further objectives and requirements of the WMP.
7. Who is made up of the JPA Governing Board?
Per JPA regulations, the Governing Board would be made up of one representative from each Member agency. The agreement states that the duly-appointed City Manager of each of the 2 | Page
Members shall be the representative on the Governing Board. It should be noted that Board members shall not receive compensation for attending required meetings or performing other function for the JPA.
8. Can the JPA document be amended later?
Yes. Pursuant to Section 16 of the Joint Exercise Powers of Agreement, the agreement may be amended by a super-majority (4/5ths) vote of the Governing Board.
9. Does/Will the JPA require Staffing?
Staffing at this point is unknown. It should be stated that the City of Arcadia is collecting a 5% administrative fee for fulfilling the Group's administrative and financial needs. It is possible that this administrative fee is continued and is then paid into the JPA to fund Staff and/or consultants to cover the Group's administrative/financial obligations.
10. What is the process moving forward?
The first step in forming the JPA is for all the Group's City Councils to review and adopt the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. Once all signatures are obtained, the JPA then becomes an official entity. Next steps would include installing the Governing Board and filing the Notice of a Joint Powers Agreement with the California Secretary of State. The new JPA needs to register with the LA Local Agency Formation Commission, hire an external auditor, and purchase insurance. The JPA would then start working to absorb current contracts and projects into the JPA entity and establish MOUs with the County of Los Angeles and County Flood Control District.
11. How are other entities, groups, and cities situating themselves to collaborate in meeting stormwater compliance?
Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) Watershed Management Group The ULAR is a group made up of 17 cities (e.g. Los Angeles, Alhambra, Burbank, Rosemead, Temple City, Glendale, etc.), County of Los Angeles, and County Flood Control District. The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) is the main liaison between the LA City Sanitation Department and the partnering cities. LA City Sanitation handles all the physical and technical work, such as monitoring, scientific studies, etc. The SGVCOG oversees the financial and procurement portion of the group by finding consultants, processing agreements and invoicing.
LA City bills the SGVCOG and the SGVCOG pays with the money received from each City. In return, the SGVCOG passes and administrative costs to the cities. The SGVCOG also performs smaller special projects, such as maintaining the group's website.
The group has yet to construct a regional infrastructure project, so there is some unknown on how the collaborate efforts will be situated with the larger projects.
Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (GWMA) The GWMA is a large watershed-based coalition and JPA that operates a number of different programs, which includes servicing four (4) different WMP groups. The GWMA services the 3 | Page
WMP groups by performing their administrative and financial needs. The entity facilitates invoicing, holds and administers the WMP groups' contracts, and they bid services on behalf of the WMP groups. In essence, the GWMA acts as the centralized hub for the WMPs. They perform these services by charging an administrative cost to partner cities. These funds go toward hiring contract Staff, insurance premiums, hiring annual auditors, and building the GWMA's reserves.
The GWMA has decided not to venture into construction projects. The entity might offer a level of administrative coordination, but they default with cities partnering with one another to accomplish regional projects.
Lower San Gabriel River (LSGR) Watershed Management Group The LSGR Group comprises of Artesia, Cerritos, Downey, Diamond Bar, Whittier, Long Beach, Norwalk, etc. The LSGR Group is one of the WMPs serviced by the GWMA.
East San Gabriel Valley (ESGV) Watershed Management Group The ESGV consists of Claremont, La Verne, Pomona, and San Dimas. The group is small, so coordinated efforts are nimbler and more flexible, which is why the formalities and processes of the larger groups are not present in this one. The Group has a shared MOU and they have yet to experience a larger regional project.
Upper San Gabriel River (USGR) Watershed Management Group The USGR is comprised of the cities of Baldwin Park, Covina, Glendora, Industry, La Puente, and the County of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County Flood Control. The County of Los Angeles takes a centralized role in the group's administrative and financial affairs. Most of what is coordinated goes through the County, and a MOU between all the organization spells out the cost sharing and details the coordinated duties. When consultants are hired, the County is billed and the County then bills the rest of the cities based on the MOU. On smaller coordinated projects, some of the cities might execute their own MOUs to cost-share. At this point, the regional projects in the USGR have not materialized so future coordinated efforts are unknown with the larger projects.

2. RIO HONDO ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION PROJECT AND ARCADIA WASH WATER
CONSERVATION DIVERSION
The concept for the Rio Hondo Ecosystem Restoration stormwater BMP and Arcadia Wash Water Conservation Diversion is split into two phases. These phases are discussed below.
Phase 1 - Arcadia Wash Water Conservation Diversion
Phase 1 of this Regional BMP System will focus on water conservation efforts for Arcadia Wash to recharge water into the San Gabriel Groundwater Basin. This phase will not only provide water conservation benefits by recharging flow from Arcadia Wash, but will also provide incidental water quality benefits to help meet the 50% milestone for the LA River Metals TMDL. Phase 1 of this project is primarily a water conservation project, and is considered an update to the baseline watershed model rather than a water quality BMP.
Runoff from Arcadia Wash will be diverted to a pretreatment device at the intersection of Live Oak Avenue and conveyed approximately 10,000 to the east to Sawpit Wash. The flows will be conveyed via gravity until passing Santa Anita Wash, at which point a pump station will be used to lift the flows for continued gravity flow to Sawpit Wash.

Phase 2 - Rio Hondo Ecosystem Restoration Project
Phase 2 of this project is where the majority of the regional water quality benefits will be achieved. This phase combines the water conservation benefits from Phase 1 with the additional pollutant load reduction and habitat restoration benefits provided by a constructed wetland. This project will also provide a natural treatment system to the downstream spreading basin at Peck Park. A temporary inundation area adjacent to the wetland will allow for groundwater recharge as well.
Phase 2 of this project will divert runoff from Sawpit Wash (and the Phase 1 Arcadia Wash flows) to convey stormwater flows to a sediment basin before entering an 8.3-acre constructed wetlands habitat with adjacent groundwater recharge basins prior to discharge into the Peck Road Water Conservation basins and to the downstream Rio Hondo Channel. See Figure 4 for the Phase 2 site layout.

4. BASIN 3E ENHANCEMENTS AT SANTA FE SPREADING GROUNDS PROJECT The regional BMP system will enhance the existing flood control detention basin at the Santa Fe Spreading Grounds (SFSG) by constructing a sediment forebay with an energy dissipating mechanism for pretreatment. Flows from the sediment basin will spill over a concrete weir to a secondary basin where water will be filtered through a sand filter media with a geotextile bottom and perforated underdrains to convey treated flows to the San Gabriel River. There will be a second concrete weir with overflow that will drain into a smaller basin that will provide additional treatment as well as utilize the downstream portion of the basin that is not needed for the water quality sizing. The site layout is provided in Figure 6.

Agenda Memo

DATE: April 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Discussion on Use of CaiRecycle Funds
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Zoning Map with Potential Water Refill Station Locations
2. Photos of Potential Water Refill Station Locations
SUMMARY
The City applied for the Cal Recycle Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment Program and was approved to receive $5,000. In the past, there have been challenges expending these monies, as funds are restricted and may only be utilized to support activities related to container recycling and litter abatement. In previous years, the City expended Cal Recycle funds through a grant program and partnered with surrounding cities. In 2020, water refill stations were added as an eligible activity and would allow the City to use funds to install water refill stations. As such, the City paid for water stations to be installed in Monrovia Canyon Park, an area greatly affected by the Bobcat Fire.
The City Council may elect to move forward with a grant program once again or choose to install a water refill station in the City. It is recommended that the City Council provide direction on how to move forward with Cal Recycle funds. Should the City Council desire to implement a grant program, staff will release a Request of Grant Proposals and return with any responses. Should Council elect to install a water refill station in the City, Staff recommends that the City Council choose the desired location. Staff will then return to present actual costs of installation based on the pre-identified feasible areas (See Attachment 1).
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA 4-19 AGENDA ITEM # 4
Discussion on Use of CalRecycle Funds
BACKGROUND
The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act provides funding to cities and counties for beverage container recycling programs. The funding source is the California Redemption Value (CRV) premium that is paid when consumers purchase beverages in glass bottles, cans, and plastic containers. Funding is distributed annually based on a per capita formula. Bradbury is entitled to receive $5,000 each year, and receiving the tunds is as simple as completing an online form. Currently, the City has a surplus of these restricted funds in the amount of $6,292.02.
CalRecycle funds are restricted to the following eligible activities:
• New or existing curbside recycling programs
• Neighborhood drop-off recycling programs
• Public education promoting beverage container recycling • Litter prevention and cleanup where the waste stream includes beverage containers that will be recycled
• Cooperative regional efforts with two or more cities or counties, or both • Other beverage container recycling programs
• Adding Water Refill Stations
• Supporting AB 341 Mandatory Commercial Recycling requirements:
• Infrastructure for businesses to recycle beverage containers • Support for new or existing beverage container recycling programs for multi-family residential dwellings
• Public education and outreach that includes a beverage container recycling component.
In the past, the City partnered with the City of Duarte in sponsoring their Earth Day event and with the City of Azusa in sponsoring Discover Club, a pilot environmental program. In 2020, the City used Cal Recycle funds to purchase two water refill stations for the City of Monrovia. The water refill stations were installed at Monrovia Canyon Park to assist with rehabilitation efforts after the Bobcat Fire severely affected the area.
ANALYSIS
This year, the City Council can elect to expend Cal Recycle funds through a grant program or to install a water refill station on one of the City's recreational trails (See Attachments 1 & 2).
If the City Council elects to expend funds through the grant program, the City would release a Request of Grant Proposals to solicit projects from neighboring cities, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations.
Discussion on Use of CalRecycle Funds
Should the City Council desire to move forward with the water refill station installation, the following is a rough estimate of the cost:
Item Estimated Cost
Elker Outdoor ezH2O Upper Bottle Filling Station $7,930 Installation (traffic control, modification of existing landscape $6,000 and irrigation, installation or storation etee area teacion onnection to the water mete
minor grading, etc.)
Estimated Total $13,930
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Each year, the City of Bradbury receives $5,000 from CalRecycle. These are restricted funds and cannot be used for General Fund purposes. The City has had difficulties in the past expending all monies received, which has resulted in a surplus of $6,292.02.
As such, the total balance is $11,292.02.
Should the City Council decide to install water refill stations, most of the cost will be covered by Cal Recycle funds and the rest of the cost will be taken from the City's general fund.
Should the City Council decide to move forward with a grant program, it would not have an impact to the City's general fund budget if the Council decides to limit the grant allocation to the amounted $11,292.02.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction on how to move forward with Cal Recycle funds. Should the City Council desire to implement a grant program, staff will release a Request of Grant Proposals and return with any responses. Should Council elect to install a water refill station in the City, Staff recommends that the City Council choose the desired location. Staff will then return to present actual costs of installation based on the pre-identified feasible areas.

SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON PUBLISHING CITY CRIME LOGS
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Example of Duarte's Weekly Crime Blotter 2) Example of Monrovia's Weekly Neighborhood Watch Report 3) Definitions of Part I and Part Il Crimes
SUMMARY
During the March meeting, the City Council directed Staff to bring an item to the April meeting to discuss publishing the City's crime logs. This item discusses the City's current crime logs, introduces other cities' logs, and reviews the benefits, pitfalls, and things to consider if making the City's crime logs publicly available. It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed with publishing the City's crime logs. Should crime logs be published, it is recommended that the City Council provide direction on what to distribute, how often to distribute it, and how to distribute it.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department is the law enforcement agency that services the City of Bradbury. Approximately each Monday, the Sheriffs Department provides a Calls tor Service log trom the prior week. The log outlines general information on a call, such as the date, time, deputy dispatched time and arrival time. It also details the type of call, address, a narrative that the dispatcher details to the responding deputy, and the deputy's resolution of the call. A resolution could be that the deputy could not locate the issue, was able to chat with the caller, victim, and/or suspect, that a crime report was taken, etc.
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA AGENDA ITEM #_ 5
Discussion on Publishing City Crime Logs
City Staff receives these call logs on a weekly basis and analyses them for any significant. trends that might need to be addressed. For example, if Staff sees that there have been repeated calls and responses to a property for loud music at night, Staff might be able to send a warning letter to the property for their habitual issues. Additionally, if Staff notices that a burglary recently occurred at a property, Staff can further inquire about the incident and coordinate with detectives and residents to try and bring resolution to the situation.
Currently, these Sheriffs Department crime logs are not made publicly available.
ANALYSIS
The Cities of Duarte and Monrovia do make their crime logs available to the public. For example, the City of Duarte blasts a synopsis of their crime reports to the public via Nixel and posts them on their City website (Attachment #1). In talking with Duarte Staff, they publish Part 1 crimes that include aggravated assault (which includes certain situations of domestic violence), robbery, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft and arson. The City of Monrovia, additionally, publishes their crime reports (Attachment #2) but removes any sex crimes, crimes against minors, and domestic violence. Similar to Duarte, Monrovia posts their logs on their City website and hyperlinks to them from their weekly City update blasts.
Making these logs publicly available ensures that City Hall is being transparent in letting neighbors know of the activity occurring throughout the City. An argument for such transparency is that it ensures that residents in the community know when and where crime is occurring. Such knowledge might keep a resident better informed of any trends occurring in the community and could lead to better preparedness if residents knew there happen to be a burglaries or robberies in City. On the other side of the argument, Bradbury is a much smaller community than Duarte and Monrovia. Making such activity public is not quite as anonymous as it is with the two larger neighboring Cities. For example, a crime log referencing Bradbury Hills Lane, Oak Shade Road, Starlight Drive, etc. might make a resident easily identifiable since there are so few houses on these streets. Additionally, there's a body of research and literature that suggests that The following is a list of items to consider if the City Council decides to make crime logs public:
• What to distribute? Duarte and Monrovia both make Part | crimes publicly available, with some exceptions. These exceptions include excluding sex crimes, crimes against children, and domestic violence.
• How often to distribute crime logs? Both Duarte and Monrovia do website postings and blasts to their community on a weekly basis.
Discussion on Publishing City Crime Logs
• How to distribute crime logs? Distribution could be done by posting on the City website or in individual blasts through the City's Connect-CTY program. They could also be included in the City's electronic newsletter. The City does not have social media platforms like Duarte/Monrovia but this could be started if desired.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed on publishing the City's crime logs. Should crime logs be published, it is recommended that the City Council provide direction on what to distribute, how often to distribute it, and how to distribute it.

• An unlocked car is an open invitation to a car thief. • Lock up when you leave your car, and take the keys with you. • Lock the trunk or tailgate.
• Close all windows - professional thieves have tools that unlock cars through the smallest openings.
• When you park the car, remove cellular phones and other valuable possessions. Do not leave anything lying on the seat.
• Lock all valuables in your trunk or take them with you. • Lock your car even if you are making a quick stop at the gas station, convenience store, or mini-mall.

Tip of the Week
Vehicle Burglary Prevention
Thieves look for easy and inviting targets when it comes to selecting a vehicle to burglarize or steal from. It is up to you to make every effort to prevent your car from
being targeted. Here are some basic tips that will make your vehicle a little less inviting to a thief:
• LOCK your car!
DO NOT leave valuables in plain view.
• Leave all items of value at home, if possible.
Always park in well-lighted areas.
• Install motion lights in your driveway.
• Install and use a vehicle alarm.
• Look around when you park. Notice anyone or anything suspicious? Write down license plates and descriptions. Alert on-site security or staff and CALL the police.
Many auto burglaries or thefts from cars occur right in a residential driveway and too often it is because the vehicle was never locked. Suspects will often target cars that are left unlocked, walking up and down a street trying car doors all the way. Take the time to secure your vehicle.
Other thieves target victims by watching what is placed inside a trunk or hatch. If you plan on stopping by the gym, park, or elsewhere after work, take the time before you leave to place your belongings safely in the trunk. Don't wait until you park to then transfer your laptop, purse, bag, or briefcase to the trunk. Thieves may be watching and targeting your car.

Uniform Crime Report
Crime in the United States, 2011
Offense Definitions
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program divides offenses into two groups, Part I and Part II crimes. Each month, participating law enforcement agencies submit information on the number of Part I offenses that become known to them; those offenses cleared by arrest or exceptional means; and the age, sex, and race of persons arrested for each of the offenses. Contributors provide only arrest data for Part II offenses.
The UCR Program collects data about Part I offenses in order to measure the level and scope of crime occurring throughout the nation. The program's founders chose these offenses because they are serious crimes, they occur with regularity in all areas of the country, and they are likely to be reported to police. The Part I offenses are:

Deaths caused by negligence, attempts to kill, assaults to kill, suicides, and accidental deaths are excluded. The program classifies justifiable homicides separately and limits the definition to: (1) the killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty; or (2) the killing of a felon, during the commission of a felony, by a private citizen. b.) Manslaughter by negligence: the killing of another person through gross negligence. Deaths of persons due to their own negligence, accidental deaths not resulting from gross negligence, and traffic fatalities are not included in the category Manslaughter by Negligence.

DATE: April 19, 2022
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON RESUMING CITY EVENTS
SUMMARY
During the January, 2022 meeting, Staff discussed with the City Council on resuming City events, such as Bradbury Night Out. The decision in January was to return in a few months as the COVID restrictions at the time made it difficult to determine the future of such events.
It has been 3 months since the initial discussion in January, so Staff is returning with the item for additional discussion. Future COVID restrictions have proven to be unpredictable, but the current restrictions are more relaxed than those back in January.
This item prompts a discussion on City events, such as Bradbury Night Out, but also should include the postponed Volunteer Appreciation event. It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed with scheduling future City events.

Agenda Memo

FROM: Sophia Musa, Management Analyst
DATE: April 19, 2022
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUNDS
SUMMARY
As a result of the Los Angeles Civil Grand Jury findings for the City of Bradbury, the City donated $3,000 in Fiscal Year 16/17 to support organizations that provide housing and shelter to those in need. Although this was a mandatory one-time donation, the City Council decided to budget and allocate $3,000 to similarly donate to Union Station Homeless Services, Foothill Unity Center, and Friends in Deed (Formally Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area Churches).
The City Council budgeted $4,000 this fiscal year to donate to support community homelessness. It is recommended that the City Council direct staff on how to expend the budgeted $4,000, which has been set aside for a charitable donation.
DISCUSSION
Approximately four years ago, the Los Angeles Civil Grand Jury investigated cities on their response to homelessness issues during the 2016 EI Nino time period. As a result of their findings, the City indicated that it would support organizations that assisted with providing housing and shelter to those in need. This resulted in the City committing to donate $3,000 during the 2016-2017 fiscal cycle. The City ultimately donated $1,500 to Foothill Unity Center and $1,500 to Union Station Homeless Services to fulfil the City's obligations to the LA Civil Grand Jury.
During the Fiscal Years of 17/18 through 19/20 budgeting cycles, the City Council decided to still allocate $3,000 for future donations, even though the Civil Grand Jury's requirements had been fulfilled. Ultimately, the City Council decided to split the donations FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA 4-19 AGENDA ITEM # _ 8
