Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, February 4, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 22. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT THE PROJECT AS COMPLETE, PROJECT 1783, DELFORDAVENUE CULVERT REPLACEMENT (CITY COUNCIL).
I. SUMMARY
Delford Avenue Culvert is a small box culvert which runs through the City easement on two private properties, draining Delford Avenue to 226th Place. City inspections in 2023 noted a collapse of the culvert and damage due to tree root intrusion. As a result, drainage for Delford Avenue was severely limited and Public Works staff requested that the Delford Avenue culvert be reconstructed to restore the original drainage capacity.
On January 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a Construction Contract to HZS Engineering, Inc. for $267,700 for Project No. 1783: Delford Avenue Culvert Replacement. Project No. 1783 has been completed in accordance with approved plans and specifications. It is requested that the City Council accept the project as complete and authorize staff to file the Notice of Completion with the LA County Recorder’s office.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. ACCEPT as complete Project No. 1783: Delford Avenue Culvert Replacement.
2. AUTHORIZE staff to file a Notice of Completion with the LA County Recorder’s office.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT ACCEPT the project as complete. However, acceptance of projects as complete and recordation of a Notice of Completion after work completion, under Civil Code section 9204 will shorten the time period during which any contractor will be able to file a lien claim.
2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
Delford Avenue Culvert is a small box culvert which runs through the City easement on two private properties, draining Delford Avenue to 226th Place. The City hired Pipe-Tec Inc. to perform a video inspection in 2023 and the inspections revealed a collapse of the roof of the culvert and damage due to tree root intrusion. Due to the age of the culvert, it appeared that structural integrity was compromised. As a result, drainage for Delford Avenue was severely limited, which caused flooding at the end of the cul-de-sac on Delford Avenue. Public Works staff requested that the Delford Avenue culvert be reconstructed to restore the original drainage capacity.
On January 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a Construction Contract to HZS Engineering, Inc. for $267,700 for Project No. 1783: Delford Avenue Culvert Replacement. The Project consists of demolition and reconstruction of the 180-foot-long reinforced concrete culvert, which measures approximately 18” by 48” externally, steel reinforcement, reconstruction of two block walls and trellis, expansion of the inlet opening from 24” to 48”, and installation of a trash and debris screen to reduce clogging. Project No. 1783 has been completed in accordance with approved plans and specifications and within the original budget.
The construction of Project No. 1783: Delford Avenue Culvert Replacement, has been completed in a satisfactory manner and is fully functional. Staff is requesting the City Council to accept the project as complete and authorize staff to proceed with the filing of the Notice of Completion.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amount for this project was $267,700 with a 10% contingency of $26,770 for a total project amount of $294,470.00. Total expenditures were $267,625.67, resulting in a project savings of $26,844.33. No fiscal impact is associated with the recommended action items.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, February 4, 2025, 5:00 PM
ORDINANCE SECOND READING 24. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Reata Kulcsar, Energy and Sustainability Officer CMO Subject: CONSIDER SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 25-2501, AN ORDINANCEADDING SECTION 3251.11 (ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING SPACES AND RESTRICTIONS) TO PART 6(PARKING REGULATIONS) OF CHAPTER 2 (TRAFFIC REGULATIONS) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODETO AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO DESIGNATE ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING SPACES INOFFSTREET PARKING FACILITIES OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY, AND TO ESTABLISH PARKINGRESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO SUCH DESIGNATED SPACES (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On January 21, 2025, during discussion item no. 28 on the City of Carson City Council agenda, the City Council voted unanimously, 5-0, to introduce Ordinance No. 25-2501 (Exhibit No. 1). It is now requested that the City Council conduct a second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 25-2501.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. CONDUCT a second reading, by title only and with full reading waived, and
2. ADOPT Ordinance No. 25-2501, entitled, "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 3251.11 (ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING SPACES AND RESTRICTIONS) TO PART 6 (PARKING REGULATIONS) OF CHAPTER 2 (TRAFFIC REGULATIONS) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL
CODE TO AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO DESIGNATE ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING SPACES
IN OFFSTREET PARKING FACILITIES OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY, AND TO ESTABLISH PARKING RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO SUCH DESIGNATED SPACES."
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any action the City Council deems appropriate that is consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
On January 21, 2025, during discussion item no. 28 on the City of Carson City Council agenda, the City Council voted unanimously, 5-0, to introduce Ordinance No. 25-2501 by title only. The proposed ordinance will add Section 3251.11 to the Carson Municipal Code, authorizing the Public Works Director to designate specific stalls in City- owned offstreet parking facilities exclusively for electric vehicle (EV) charging. This means that only vehicles which are actively charging can park in these designated spaces, and non-electric vehicles will be prohibited from using the designated parking stalls.
The City owns and operates various off-street parking facilities, each with multiple parking spaces. Some of these facilities are currently equipped with, or may be equipped in the future with, electric vehicle charging stations and the necessary infrastructure to support electric vehicles.
California Vehicle Code (CVC) section 22511 authorizes local authorities to “designate” spaces in their offstreet parking facilities for the exclusive purpose of charging and parking an EV that is connected for electric charging purposes. Section 22511(a)(1) reads:
“A local authority, by ordinance or resolution, and a person in lawful possession of an off-street parking facility may designate stalls or spaces in an off-street parking facility owned or operated by that local authority or person for the exclusive purpose of charging and parking a vehicle that is connected for electric charging purposes.”
Designating and enforcing these spaces as exclusively for the parking of electric vehicles that are connected for electric charging purposes is necessary to ensure that the charging stations remain available to be used for charging electric vehicles rather than being obstructed by non-EV's that seek to simply park in the spaces. The proposed ordinance makes clear that the EV's must be actually charging to use the designated spaces, meaning they cannot be left in the designated space once they have completed charging, even if they are still plugged in.
The Public Works Director would have discretion to determine what spaces are designated for these purposes, and when.
The proposed ordinance also makes clear that parking time limit restrictions pursuant to CMC Section 3251.6 may be enforced as to the designated spaces in addition to the charging requirements, to prevent a situation where, for example, an EV that takes many hours to charge could be left in a designated space for longer than the maximum parking time limit that the City allows for the space, which is set by indicating the time limit on appropriate signs or markings.
The proposed ordinance will ensure that the designated spaces can be utilized effectively, with flexibility for changes to be made quickly by the authority of the Public Works Director when the need arises, and promotes sustainable and alternative modes of transportation. The initiative aims to manage off-street parking availability in a way that could encourage more people to choose to drive electric vehicles.
Each off-street parking facility with designated spaces must also have a sign that informs users about the rules regarding unauthorized parking of vehicles not connected for electric charging purposes, as specified in the ordinance. The fabrication and installation of these signs will be coordinated with the Public Works Department.
Violations would be punishable by infraction citations as provided in subsection (f) of the proposed new CMC Section 3251.11, and by removal of vehicles as provided in subsection (g) of said Section 3251.11.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
It is estimated that 25 signs and posts will be needed, and the cost to fabricate and install them is approximately $5,000. Funding is available in account no. 246-80-820-904-6009.
The added authority to cite and tow vehicles that are illegally parked at EV charging-designated spaces is expected to generate additional parking citation revenue for the General Fund. While the exact amount of this revenue is currently unknown, it may increase in the coming years as more EV charging stations are installed citywide.

ORDINANCE SECOND READING 25. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Antonio Velasco, Revenue Manager FIN Business License Revenue Subject: CONSIDER SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 25-2502, "ANORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 63134(MASSAGE PARLORS), SECTION 63134.4 (SAME – EXCEPTION) AND SECTION 63135 (MASSAGETECHNICIANS) OF PART 5 (BUSINESSES, PROFESSIONS, TRADES AND OCCUPATIONS REQUIRING APERMIT) OF CHAPTER 3 (BUSINESS, PROFESSIONS AND TRADES) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE TOEXPRESSLY EXCLUDE BODY SCULPTING FROM DEFINITION OF MASSAGE" (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On January 21, 2025, under Item No. 29 of the City Council Agenda, the City Council voted 4-0 to introduce Ordinance No. 25-2502. This item transmits a request for the City Council to conduct a Second Reading and adopt Ordinance No. 25-2502.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. CONDUCT a Second Reading by title only and with full reading waived, and
2. ADOPT, Ordinance No. 25-2502, entitled “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 63134 (MASSAGE PARLORS), SECTION 63134.4 (SAME – EXCEPTION) AND SECTION 63135 (MASSAGE TECHNICIANS) OF PART 5 (BUSINESSES, PROFESSIONS, TRADES AND OCCUPATIONS REQUIRING A PERMIT) OF CHAPTER 3 (BUSINESS, PROFESSIONS AND TRADES) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE TO EXPRESSLY EXCLUDE BODY SCULPTING FROM DEFINITION OF MASSAGE" III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
At the January 21, 2025, Council Meeting, the City of Carson introduced Ordinance 25-2502, amending Section6300 et seq. of the Carson Municipal Code to provide certain requirements for different types of businesses. Underthe current code, body sculpting is classified with massage parlors and requires (massage) technicians to providea certificate or diploma from a recognized school or institution. The California Massage Therapy Council(“CAMTC”) issues massage technician certification under the requirements of California State Law. However,CAMTC does not recognize body sculpting as a form of massage and thus body sculptors will not be able to meetthe requirements under Carson Municipal Code. Amending the current business license code will expresslyexclude body sculpting from the definition of massage parlors.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this Ordinance.

MUNICIPAL CODE TO EXPRESSLY EXCLUDE BODY SCUL PTING
FROM DEFINITION OF MASSAGE
WHEREAS, the existing provisions of the City of Carson Municipal Code do not address licensing requirements for body sculpting establishments and moreover, the existing regulations governing massage establishments could be interpreted as being applicable to body sculpting establishments; and
WHEREAS, massage technicians are required to have valid massage certificates issued by the California Massage Therapy Council which does not issue certific ates to body sculpting establishments; and
