INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS

1. POWER POINT PRESENTATION - 501-601 EAST COMPTON BOULEVARD

DEVELOPMENT PROJECT - KBK DEVELOPER
Keith B. Key, KBK Developers, and his team provided a power point presentation relative to the development at 501-601 Compton Boulevard and indicated that the Compton Innovation Center will be a transformative, urban mixed-use development which will serve the residents and innovators of Compton, helping to make Downtown Compton into a world-class destination that all of the City's residents can enjoy and benefit from. This will include up to 300 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, of which 58 units will be affordable to very low-income households. Residential amenities to include a lobby, lounge area, fitness room, swimming pool, in-unit washers/dryers and more. The site will also include community serving commercial space in addition to a large Innovation Center.

There will be sufficient parking for both the commercial and residential use as well as a public pedestrian plaza. All of which will be accommodated in a seven-story building that will be broken up into different vertical sections and will bridge over Willow Street.

Mr. Key then noted that the City of Compton was selected as a recipient of a statewide award and grant, through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program (AHSC). The $21 Million grant will assist in the development of a mixed-use, transit-oriented development proposed to be built on Compton Boulevard and for other infrastructure related projects.

Mr. Key noted that this grant is the largest in Compton’s history and represents a significant investment in the development and future of the City. This project will be the starting point of a renaissance of Downtown Compton with the goal of developing the City into a regional center for culture and commerce. KBK provided artist’s renditions of the proposed development for the City Council and community.

Councilman Spicer questioned what the Developer would do to ensure that we do not have gentrification and further raised concerns regarding the parking.

Mr. Key indicated that 58 units will be affordable housing which is embedded in the deeds so that those 58 units will remain affordable, per HUD guidelines. The other 237 units’ costs will be based on market realities. Mr. Key noted that residents will also have the opportunity to acquire additional parking at the site to accommodate their needs.

Councilman Spicer then raised concerns regarding the emergency plan for the development.

Mr. Key responded that the development will include state-of-the art fire retardant materials, along with fire extinguishers and water sprinkler systems. Mr. Key further confirmed KBK’s written commitment to providing an additional ladder truck.

Councilmember Duhart suggested that the Developer consider scaling down the project to 4 stories rather than 7 stories high.

Councilman Bowers indicated that he would like for the Developer to purchase another fully equipped ladder truck and provide for high level training for Fire Department personnel.

Councilman Bowers further indicated that the City needs a disaster plan and an emergency evacuation plan in place for the safety of the residents. Councilman Bowers concluded that the City’s infrastructure needs to make major improvements, prior to placing such a high-density housing project in the City.

Fire Chief Simpson stated that the City currently has emergency evacuations plans in place for the residents and further noted that the Department is fully capable of addressing an emergency situation for a development of this size.
5:35 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 BUDGET (Item #5) On motion by Duhart, seconded by Spicer, the public hearing was opened at 7:23 p.m. by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Sharif NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – None
Jimmie Smith, Budget Officer, presented the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year Budget for the City of Compton for review and adoption. The estimated revenues have been supplied by the City Controller. Available Special Fund Balances from prior year surplus have also been provided by the City Controller and utilized to balance the Budget. The projected expenditures recommended by the City Manager are in balance with the Controller’s estimated revenue. The City Manager and City Controller, along with all the Budget Team members, have worked diligently to balance this proposed Budget. This balanced Budget is recommended to the Mayor and City Council for approval.

The Compton City Charter, Section 1407, requires that the City Manager present an Annual Budget for adoption by City Council on or before June 30, 2022, and this public hearing is being held to discuss the proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget. Three City Council Budget Workshop discussions were held on April 5, 2022, May 17, 2022, and May 24, 2022.

The City organizes the Annual Budget by Fund and by Department. The Citywide Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Proposed Budget, which includes combined (all) Funds and Departments, totals $215,260,174. Expenditures are offset by City-wide revenues and Special Fund Balances totaling $215,260,174. The City-wide Budget includes the General Fund. The General Fund, which includes the Measure “P” 1% Sales Tax. This fund which provides for most of the typical public services which Compton citizens rely on, such as Law Enforcement, Fire Protection, Recreation, Street Repair, and General City Administration. The General Fund Budget equals: $59,501,174.

Measure P General Fund Resources equal: $14,286,625. All General Fund Resources (inclusive of Measure P) equal $73,787,799.

Restore General Services and Human Resources Department - The Budget includes the proposal to separate from Public Works Street Maintenance and restore General Services Department as a stand-alone department. The Budget also includes a proposal to separate the Human Resources Department from the Internal Services Department. The remaining Internal Services Divisions, Information Technology, Reprographics, and the Public Access Channel will be transferred to the City Manager’s Department. This organizational change is responsive to the State Controller’s recommendation to address the lack of leadership at the management level.

Expand Community Improvement Department - This proposed Budget includes a plan to extend the operational days and hours for the Parking Division to address the public parking hazard the City of Compton faces. Inoperable, abandoned, long-term, and oversized vehicles park illegally on City streets. Additional staff included in this Budget will allow the Parking Division to address these concerns after regular weekday business hours and on weekends.

Mr. Smith indicated that ongoing monitoring of revenue and expenditures will result in Quarterly Budget review and appropriate adjustments. The City Manager and City Controller intend to conduct a “Mid-year” Budget Review and Workshops with the City Council, updating revenue estimates and expenditures.

Staff recommends that the Council accept the proposed 2022/2023 City of Compton Budget for public comments, revisions, and adoption.

ORDER FOR DEBRA DUNCAN FOR TRANSCRIPTION AND
PREPARATION OF MEETING MINUTES OF THE CITY’S

LEGISLATIVE BODIES AND SPECIALIZED ELECTRONIC
SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 ($43,200)

SUMMARY
The City Clerk requests that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Debra Duncan for a period of twelve (12) month (i.e. July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) and establish a purchase order in the amount of Forty Three Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($43,200.00) for payment of services for transcription and preparation of meeting minutes of the City’s legislative bodies and specialized electronic services for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

The City Clerk is responsible for recording and maintaining a full and true record of all of the proceedings of the City’s legislative bodies; that is, the Compton Public Finance Authority, the Urban Community Development Commission, the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Compton, and the City Council (“legislative bodies”).

The City contracted with Debra Duncan last fiscal year to transcribe and prepare the meeting minutes for the Compton Public Finance Authority, the Urban Community Development Commission, the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Compton, and the City Council (“legislative bodies”). Use of her services allows the minutes to be prepared and submitted to the various legislative bodies for review and filing in a timely manner.

Additionally, Ms. Duncan’s responsibilities have included providing a variety of technological services attendant to the agenda preparation process for the City’s legislative bodies, such as:

9. Provide user accessibility to archived meetings via the internet.

10.Operates peripheral equipment such as printers, desktop computers, and copiers to provide hard copies of summary minutes.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City Clerk’s Office is minimally staffed; thus, it is vital to employ the services of an experienced and reliable provider to assure that meeting minutes are prepared and submitted to the various legislative bodies for review and filing in a timely manner. Thus, informal quotes were sought through [email protected], which is a network of current and former California City Clerks. There were only three (3) responses to our request.

Sharp’s Transcription Services – $1,500.00 per meeting date Debra Duncan - $900.00 per meeting date
Playback Communications - $120.00 per hour
The three quotes received were evaluated on experience, professionalism, knowledge, etc. Debra Duncan’s quote was the lowest quote received, with her ability to attend each meeting. Additionally, the City has previously contracted with Ms. Debra Duncan and has found her service reliable and very satisfactory.

Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, Contractor will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to City.

Waiver of Subrogation. The policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of City.

Contractor has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address contained in this Agreement.

City will make a determination of fact based upon the work product delivered to City and of the percentage of work that Contractor has performed which is usable and of worth to City in having the Agreement completed. Based upon that finding City will determine the final payment of the Agreement. In the event City elects to terminate, City will have the right to immediate possession of all Work Product and work in progress prepared by Contractor, whether located at the project site, at Contractor's place of business, or at the offices of a subcontractor.

The City’s obligation is payable only from funds appropriated for the purpose of this Agreement. All funds for payments after the end of the current fiscal year are subject to the City’s legislative appropriation for this purpose. In the event this Agreement extends into succeeding fiscal year periods and the City Council does not allocate sufficient funds for the next succeeding fiscal year payments, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon written notice from the City.

INTERPRETATION AND TRANSLATION SERVICES FOR CITY’S
LEGISLATIVE BODIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 ($35,000)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this Resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a twelve (12) month agreement (i.e. July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) with All Star Interpreting Service (“All Star”) to provide Spanish language translation and interpretation services for the public meetings of the City’s legislative bodies for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and establish a purchase order in the amount of Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000).

BACKGROUND
The City Council conducts much of the City’s business during its weekly public and televised meetings in the English language. A substantial portion of the City’s population is Spanish speaking and the City believes that it is important for all residents of the City to understand and participate in the governance of the City, thus the need to provide interpretation and translation services for City Council meetings and other community meetings. The City conducts public meetings of its legislative bodies up to four (4) times monthly.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Clerk’s Office does not have staff to perform the professional services needed to provide professional, certified language translation and interpretation services for the various City’s legislative bodies. Thus, informal proposals were sought and received from four (4) firms; to wit:

All Star Interpreting Service - $750.00 flat rate per meeting BiLingual Services International - $595.00 times 2 Interpreters (required) up to 3 hours, $195.00 per each additional hour per interpreters Medrano Interpreting - 1000.00 times 2 Interpreters (required) up to 6 hours for a total of $2000.00 per meeting.

Reliable Translation Inc. - $432.00 times 2 Interpreters (required) up to 2 hours, (additional cost per every 15 minutes, and mileage)

The contract with All Star will be for one (1) year (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023).

This indemnification and hold harmless obligation does not extend to claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.

11. Insurance.Without limiting the All Star’s indemnification of the City, All Star shall obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by All Star or All Star’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

All insurance required hereunder shall be primary with respect to any insurance maintained by the City.

Coverages and Limits. All Star will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless the Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on All Star's indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by All Star pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect All Star. The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the below-indicated insureds except for Workers Compensation. All Star will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage. If All Star believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, All Star will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as All Star deems adequate, at All Star's sole expense.

11.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. $1,000,000 combined single- limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will apply separately to the work under this Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit.

Workers' Compensation limits as required by the California Labor Code and Employer's Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury. Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance will not be required if All Star has no employees and provides, to City's satisfaction, a declaration stating this.

Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, All Star will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to City.

The minimum wage is an obligation of the employer and cannot be waived by any agreement, including collective bargaining agreements.

There are several Seasonal, Hourly and Miscellaneous classifications that will be impacted by this increase. It is mandatory for these wages to be adjusted in order to maintain compliance with state law. The classifications affected by the current minimum wage law have been adjusted as identified in Exhibits A-F, which is attached hereto by reference.

5.5.5. FISCAL IMPACT
The increase of the 2021 and 2022 minimum wage shall have a minimal impact to the City’s Compensation Plan and Fiscal Year 2022-2023 General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to increase the hourly wages for Seasonal, Hourly and Miscellaneous classifications impacted by the 2017 minimum wage law. Effective January 1, 2021, wages of the affected classifications should be increased to the next highest salary step that is equal to or higher than $14.00 per hour. Effective January 1, 2022, wages of the affected classifications should be increased to the next highest salary step that is equal to or higher than $15.00 per hour as identified in (Exhibits A-F.)

ADOPTING CURB MARKING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR RED,

GREEN, YELLOW AND WHITE CURBS IN THE CITY OF COMPTON

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will adopt the Curb Marking Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs in the City of Compton.

BACKGROUND
Curb markings, which are most often used to indicate parking restrictions, are regulated by the California Vehicle Code, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Controls Devices and the City of Compton’s Municipal Code (Section 12-3).

The City of Compton Municipal Code has identified five curb markings, representing different types of parking restrictions as follows:
 Red No Stopping/Parking Any Time Zone
 Green Time-Limited Parking Zone
 Yellow Commercial Loading Zone
 White Passenger Loading Zone
 Blue Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (separate policy) The policies and procedures for red, green, yellow and white curb markings were developed to meet the needs of the community while following standard practices for the installation of curb markings.

It is the responsibility of the Public Works Department to maintain all infrastructure in the public right-of-way. This includes the installation and maintenance of curb markings in the City. The City’s Traffic Authority or designated representative is authorized to determine and mark these painted curbs in accordance with the City of Compton’s Municipal Code.

For determining on-street parking, the City Engineer is the Traffic Authority’s designated representative.

POLICY
The objective of this policy is to identify the procedures and approval criteria associated with the installation of curb markings. The evaluation of all curb markings shall be

7.7.7.7. Staff Report – Curb Marking Policies and Procedures Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs July 26, 2022, page 2 of 6
performed by the City Engineer to ensure the installation is in accordance with the engineering standards and the City’s Municipal Code.

Curb markings installed without the approval of the City Engineer will not be permitted.

These installation will be removed by the Public Works Department and the cost of the removal will be charged to the responsible party.

Curb Marking Designations
Each type of curb marking and the related parking restrictions are described below.

Red Curb – No Stopping/No Parking Any Time Zone
A red curb represents a no-stopping/no-standing/no-parking any time zone, where neither parking, standing nor stopping is allowed at any time. Red indicates no stopping, no standing, or no parking at any time whether the vehicle is attended or unattended; except that a bus may stop in a red zone marked or signed as a bus zone. No-stopping/no- standing/no-parking zones can be installed in any area of the City where the presence of vehicles stopped, standing or parked at the curb creates an unsafe situation for vehicular, pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic.

A red curb is usually installed adjacent to corners of an intersection of public roads to maintain safe and efficient vehicular maneuverability and/or sight distance, where streets may be too narrow for a vehicle to safely pass. A red curb may also be installed adjacent to crosswalks to provide adequate visibility of pedestrians in the crosswalk. If the space between two driveways is too small to accommodate a passenger vehicle, a red curb may be installed to prevent parked vehicles from blocking the driveways. These locations are considered critical Red Zones, where parking restrictions are necessary to maintain a safe roadway and traffic conditions as determined by the City Engineer.

A red curb can also include areas within 15 feet of fire hydrants, however, since this area is already regulated by the California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22514 there is not usually a need for it to be marked as a red curb.

Private Driveway Clearance
The installation of a red curb adjacent to a driveway is used to discourage vehicles from parking too close and blocking driveways and to increase visibility and access in and out of the driveways. At the request of the fronting property owner/resident, a red curb may be installed on either side of a driveway to keep parked vehicles at a sufficient distance away from the driveway edges to facilitate access into and out of the driveway. Parking restrictions of a red curb adjacent to driveways are enforceable just as any other no- parking zone in the City. Any vehicle, including that of the property owner/resident, can be cited for parking in the red zone.

Staff Report – Curb Marking Policies and Procedures
Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs July 26, 2022, page 3 of 6
Typically, a residential driveway clearance consists of three to five feet of red paint on either side of a driveway. If the requested red curb extends towards a neighbor’s driveway then an authorization letter is required from the adjacent neighbor. In evaluating each red curb request, the City must balance the issue of maintaining access in and out of the driveway while providing sufficient curb space for on-street parking. In a situation where the red curb installation results in an insufficient length to park a vehicle, then the City may install an additional red curb. There are limited situations where the length of the red curb can be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

For a red curb requests adjacent to a multi-unit residence or business and/or commercial driveways, the property owner/manager or representative is required to submit an authorization letter stating they are in accordance with the red curb request.

Green Curb – Time-Limited Parking Zone
A green curb represents parking limited to a short period of time. Time-limited parking zones are areas where the length of time a vehicle can remain parked in a particular space is limited to a specific duration and are typically installed in commercial areas. A green curb is often installed where unrestricted curb space in front of a particular business is used for long-term parking during most of the day limiting access to the business. A green curb is intended to create parking turnover and prevent motorists from monopolizing on-street parking for an extended time. Green zones are open to all members of the public.

As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, a green curb means no standing or parking for longer than 20 minutes at a time from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm any day except Sunday.

The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. A green curb does not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and is available for all vehicles during the specified time limit as designated by signs and curb markings.

Green zones are designated by painting the curb green, with the time limit either stenciled onto the green curb in white letters and/or shown on signs.

Yellow Curb – Commercial Loading Zone
A yellow curb designates parking areas that allow for temporary parking for the sole purpose of loading and unloading freight and/or passengers. Loading zones may be established where the City Engineer has determined the lack of a loading zone would create a safety hazard for the traveling public and no practical alternative exists. Loading zones are typically placed in commercial areas near the entrance to a business with high loading demand or in front of a place used for the purpose of public assembly.

Staff Report – Curb Marking Policies and Procedures
Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs July 26, 2022, page 4 of 6
As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, yellow zone loading or unloading activities are limited to 20 minutes for materials to/from commercial vehicles and the delivery of United States mail, and 3 minutes for passengers. Loading zones are in force from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm of any day except Sunday.

The City’s Municipal Code also authorizes the Traffic Authority to determine and mark loading zones and passenger loading zones at any place in the Central Traffic District or any business district, and elsewhere in front of the entrance to any place of business or in front of any hall or place used for the purpose of public assembly. In no event shall more than ½ of the total curb length in any block be reserved for loading zone purposes exclusive of the passenger loading zones at the entrance to public theaters.

The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. Yellow zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and are available for all commercial vehicles or motor trucks for loading and unloading of materials, goods, or merchandise, and for passenger loading.

On-street yellow zones are designated by painting the curb yellow with the time limit either stenciled onto the yellow curb in black letters.

White Curb – Passenger Loading Zone
White curb designates areas where only passenger loading activities are permitted. White means no stopping, standing, or parking for any purpose other than loading or unloading of passengers, which shall not exceed three minutes. White Zones are typically found in commercial areas, near schools, senior care facilities, senior housing, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, apartment buildings, theaters, churches, and other large places of assembly. White zones can be installed in areas where it is desirable to permanently reserve curb-space to facilitate passenger loading.

As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.3, White zone loading activities are limited to 3 minutes and the restriction is in force between 7:00 am and 6 pm of any day except Sunday, and except as follows:
When such zone is in front of a hotel the restrictions shall apply at all times. When such zone is in front of a theater the restrictions shall apply at all times except when the theater is closed.

The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. White zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and are available for loading and unloading only of passengers or for depositing mail in an adjacent mailbox. On-street white zones are designated by painting the curb white, with the time limit stenciled onto the white curb in black letters.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

ADOPTING CURB MARKING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR RED,

GREEN, YELLOW AND WHITE CURBS IN THE CITY OF COMPTON
WHEREAS,adoption of this resolution will adopt the Curb Marking Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs in the City of Compton; and WHEREAS,curb markings, which are most often used to indicate parking restrictions, are regulated by the California Vehicle Code, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Controls Devices and the City of Compton’s Municipal Code (Section 12- 3); and
WHEREAS,the City of Compton Municipal Code has identified five curb markings, representing different type of parking restrictions as follows:
Red No Stopping/Parking Any Time Zone
Green Time-Limited Parking Zone
Yellow Commercial Loading Zone
White Passenger Loading Zone
Blue Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (separate policy); and WHEREAS,the policies and procedures for red, green, yellow and white curb markings were developed to meet the needs of the community while following standard practices for the installation of curb markings; and
WHEREAS,it is the responsibility of the Public Works Department to maintain all infrastructure in the public right-of-way and this includes the installation and maintenance of curb markings in the City; and
WHEREAS,the City’s Traffic Authority or designated representative is authorized to determine and mark these painted curbs in accordance with the City of Compton’s Municipal Code and for determining on-street parking, the City Engineer is the Traffic Authority’s designated representative; and
WHEREAS,the objective of this policy is to identify the procedures and approval criteria associated with the installation of curb markings and the evaluation of all curb markings shall be performed by the City Engineer to ensure the installation is in accordance with the engineering standards and the City’s Municipal Code; and WHEREAS,curb markings installed without the approval of the City Engineer will not be permitted and the installation will be removed by the Public Works Department and the cost of the removal will be charged to the responsible party; and WHEREAS,each type of curb marking and the related parking restrictions are described below:

Red Curb – No Stopping/No Parking Any Time Zone
Red curb represents a no-stopping/no-standing/no-parking any time zone, where neither parking, standing nor stopping is allowed at any time. Red indicates no stopping, no standing, or no parking at any time whether the vehicle is attended or unattended; except that a bus may stop in a red zone marked or signed as a bus zone. No-stopping/no- standing/no-parking zones can be installed in any area of the City where the presence of vehicles stopped, standing or parked at the curb creates an unsafe situation for vehicular, pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic.

Resolution No. __________

Page 2 ends

Red curb is usually installed adjacent to corners of an intersection of public roads to maintain safe and efficient vehicular maneuverability and/or sight distance, where streets may be too narrow for a vehicle to safely pass. Red curb may also be installed adjacent to crosswalks to provide adequate visibility of pedestrians in the crosswalk. If the space between two driveways is too small to accommodate a passenger vehicle, red curb may be installed to prevent parked vehicles from blocking the driveways. These locations are considered critical Red Zones, where parking restrictions are necessary to maintain a safe roadway and traffic conditions as determined by the City Engineer.

Red curb can also include areas within 15 feet of fire hydrants, however, since this area is already regulated by the California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22514 there is not usually a need for it to be marked as a red curb.

Private Driveway Clearance
The installation of red curb adjacent to a driveway is used to discourage vehicles from parking too close and blocking driveways, and to increase visibility and access in and out of the driveways. At the request of the fronting property owner/resident, red curb may be installed on either side of a driveway to keep parked vehicles at a sufficient distance away from the driveway edges to facilitate access into and out of the driveway. Parking restrictions of red curb adjacent to driveways is enforceable, just as any other no-parking zone in the City. Any vehicle, including that of the property owner/resident, can be cited for parking in the red zone.

Typically, a residential driveway clearance consists of three to five feet of red paint on either side of a driveway. If the requested red curb extends towards a neighbor’s driveway then an authorization letter is required from the adjacent neighbor. In evaluating each red curb request, the City must balance the issue of maintaining access in and out of the driveway while providing sufficient curb space for on-street parking. In a situation where the red curb installation results in an insufficient length to park a vehicle, then the City may install additional red curb. There are limited situations where the length of red curb can be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

For red curb requests adjacent to a multi-unit residence or business and/or commercial driveways, the property owner/manager or representative is required to submit an authorization letter stating they are in accordance with the red curb request.

Green Curb – Time-Limited Parking Zone
Green curb represents parking limited to a short period of time. Time-limited parking zones are areas where the length of time a vehicle can remain parked in a particular space is limited to a specific duration and are typically installed in commercial areas.

Green curb is often installed where unrestricted curb space in front of a particular business is used for long-term parking during most of the day, limiting access to the business. Green curb is intended to create parking turnover and prevent motorists from monopolizing on-street parking for an extended time. Green zones are open to all members of the public.

As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, green curb means no standing or parking for longer than 20 minutes at a time from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, any day except Sunday.

Resolution No. __________

Page 3 ends

The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. Green curb does not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and, is available for all vehicles during the specified time limit as designated by signs and curb markings.

Green zones are designated by painting the curb green, with the time limit either stenciled onto the green curb in white letters and/or shown on signs.

Yellow Curb – Commercial Loading Zone
Yellow curb designates parking areas that allow for temporary parking for the sole purpose of loading and unloading freight and/or passengers. Loading zones may be established where the City Engineer has determined the lack of a loading zone would create a safety hazard for the traveling public and no practical alternative exists. Loading zones are typically placed in commercial areas near the entrance to a business with high loading demand or in front of a place used for the purpose of public assembly.

As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, yellow zone loading or unloading activities are limited to 20 minutes for materials to/from commercial vehicles and the delivery of United States mail, and 3 minutes for passengers. Loading zones are in force from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm of any day except Sunday.

On-street yellow zones are designated by painting the curb yellow with the time limit either stenciled onto the yellow curb in black letters.

As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.3, White zone loading activities are limited to 3 minutes and the restriction is in force between 7:00 am and 6 pm of any day except Sunday, and except as follows:
When such zone is in front of a hotel the restrictions shall apply at all times; When such zone is in front of a theater the restrictions shall apply at all times except when the theater is closed.

Resolution No. __________

City of Compton
Curb Marking Policy and Procedures
for Red, Green, Yellow and White Curbs

INTRODUCTION
Curb markings, which are most often used to indicate parking restrictions, are regulated by the California Vehicle Code, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Controls and the City of Compton’s Municipal Code (Section 12-3).

The City of Compton Municipal Code has identified five curb markings, representing different types of parking restrictions, as follows:

1. Red – No Stopping/Parking Any Time Zone

2. Green – Time-Limited Parking Zone

3. Yellow – Commercial Loading Zone

4. White – Passenger Loading Zone

5. Blue – Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (see separate policy) This policy and procedures, for red, green, yellow and white curb markings, were developed to meet the needs of the community while following standard practices for installation of curb markings. It is the responsibility of the Public Works Department to maintain all infrastructure in the public right-of-way. This includes the installation and maintenance of curb markings in the City. The City’s Traffic Authority or designated representative is authorized to determine and mark these painted curbs in accordance with the City of Compton’s Municipal Code. For determining on-street parking, the City Engineer is the Traffic Authority’s designated representative.

POLICY
The objective of this policy is to identify the procedures and approval criteria associated with the installation of curb markings. The evaluation of all curb markings shall be performed by the City Engineer to ensure the installation is in accordance with the engineering standards and the City’s Municipal Code. An excerpt from the City of Compton Municipal Code regarding parking prohibitions and curb markings is attached for reference.

Curb markings installed without approval of the City will not be permitted. These installations will be removed by the Public Works Department, and the cost of the removal will be charged to the responsible party.

City of Compton Curb Marking Policy
Curb Marking Designations
Each type of curb marking and the related parking restrictions are described below.

Typically, a residential driveway clearance consists of three to five feet of red paint on either side of a driveway. If the requested red curb extends towards a neighbor’s driveway then an authorization letter is required from the adjacent neighbor. In evaluating each red curb request, the City must balance the issue of maintaining access in and out of the driveway while providing sufficient curb space for on-street parking. In a situation where the red curb installation results in an insufficient length to park a vehicle, then the City City of Compton Curb Marking Policy
may install additional red curb. There are limited situations where the length of red curb can be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, green curb means no standing or parking for longer than 20 minutes at a time from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, any day except Sunday.

Green zones are designated by painting the curb green, with the time limit either stenciled onto the green curb in white letters and/or shown on signs.

The City’s Municipal Code also authorizes the Traffic Authority to determine and mark loading zones and passenger loading zones at any place in the Central Traffic District or City of Compton Curb Marking Policy
any business district, and elsewhere in front of the entrance to any place of business or in front of any hall or place used for the purpose of public assembly. In no event shall more than ½ of the total curb length in any block be reserved for loading zone purposes exclusive of the passenger loading zones at the entrance to public theaters.

The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. Yellow zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and, are available for all commercial vehicles or motor trucks for loading and unloading of materials, goods, or merchandise, and for passenger loading.

On-street yellow zones are designated by painting the curb yellow, with the time limit either stenciled onto the yellow curb in black letters.

As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.3, White zone loading activities are limited to 3 minutes the restriction is in force between 7:00 AM and 6 PM of any day except Sunday, and except as follows:
When such zone is in front of a hotel the restrictions shall apply at all times; When such zone is in front of a theater the restrictions shall apply at all times except when the theater is closed.

The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. White zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and, are available for loading and unloading only of passengers or for depositing mail in an adjacent mailbox.

On-street white zones are designated by painting the curb white, with the time limit stenciled onto the white curb in black letters.

City of Compton Curb Marking Policy

The request will be reviewed by the City Engineer for approval. In evaluating the request, the City Engineer will consider whether the applicant has demonstrated a need for the parking space that outweighs the preservation of such space for public use. In particular, the evaluation will include a field review, consideration of the applicant’s needs, any impact on adjacent businesses or properties, consideration of the public’s needs, the feasibility of the request, and, if indicated, the consideration of other possible measures to address the applicant’s concerns.

A report of the requested locations and their eligibility will be sent to the City Manager for distribution to the City Council.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

COMPTON ADOPTING THE ACCESSIBLE PARKING FOR

DISABLED PERSONS (BLUE CURB) POLICY AND

PROCEDURES IN THE CITY OF COMPTON

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will adopt the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (Blue Curb) Policy and Procedures in the City of Compton.

BACKGROUND
The purpose of an accessible parking zone for disabled persons is to provide designated parking at major points of assembly for the exclusive use of physically disabled persons whose vehicles display a valid license plate or placard as authorized by the California Vehicle Code. In certain circumstances, on-street accessible parking zone may also be provided adjacent to or near an individual residence or business.

Accessible parking is regulated by the Access Board, an independent federal agency that is responsible for developing accessibility guidelines. Accessibility related to public roadways is also regulated by the US Department of Transportation, the California Vehicle Code, and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD). The City’s policy is in compliance with the applicable regulations of these agencies.

The City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.14, Subsections B & C authorize the Traffic Authority to determine the location of disabled parking at on- street locations and within publicly owned, leased or controlled parking facilities.

POLICY
This policy provides a procedure by which a Compton resident, business, or property owner (applicant) can apply for an on-street accessible parking space for disabled persons (blue zone) within the City of Compton.

On-street accessible parking spaces will only be considered when off-street parking is not available for an applicant or parking demands in the area prohibit

8.8.8.8. Staff Report – Blue Curbs
Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 26, 2022, page 2 of 7
the applicant from having the use of existing on-street parking near a residence, business or major point assembly.

In establishing accessible on-street parking facilities for the disabled, a reasonable determination shall be made that the facility will serve more than one disabled person and that the need is of an on-going nature (accessible parking spaces will not be installed on the basis of a temporary disabled persons placard). The intent is to prevent the proliferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a short-term purpose, but are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily reduces available on-street parking for the general public, increases the City's maintenance and operation costs, and detracts from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program.

Accessible parking spaces will not be installed at locations with a no parking or no stopping any time prohibition. The accessible parking zones are in force twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week, unless otherwise posted. All must comply with ADA requirements. The total number of accessible on-street parking spaces will be limited to no more than 1% of the total number of on-street parking spaces available in the area and shall be distributed uniformly within the area.

Accessible parking spaces shall be provided within all publicly owned, leased or controlled off-street parking facilities as specified below. On-street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to residences with garages, driveways and/or carports. On-street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to businesses or facilities that do not provide the required off-street accessible parking. The total number of accessible off-street parking spaces to be provided within an off-street parking facility shall be measured on the basis of demonstrated need or as determined by the requirements of the Office of the State Architect, whichever is greater, and approved by the City’s Building Official.

Processing Fee
When a request for an on-street accessible parking space is approved, a one-time processing fee, in the amount shown on the application form, will be collected to cover field investigation, installation, maintenance and removal costs. The cost of installing accessible parking will be assumed by the City for all on-street spaces serving City-owned facilities and for City-owned off-street parking facilities. The cost of installing accessible parking either on-street or off-street, at all other facilities, will be assumed by the resident or proprietor of the facility.

Staff Report – Blue Curbs
Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 26, 2022, page 3 of 7

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Evaluation by Land Use
There are three types of land uses that will be considered for accessible on-street parking, as follows:

Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 26, 2022, page 4 of 7
the number of on-site accessible parking spaces and why the requested parking space cannot be installed on-site.

3. The decision to install an on-street parking space will also be based on the sidewalk conditions adjacent to the building and the obstruction-free navigation of a disabled person from a vehicle parked in the accessible space to the sidewalk as determined by the Public Works Department.

Residential Eligibility Criteria:

It is not the intention of the City to provide reserved parking in the public right-of- way, especially in residential areas. However, exceptions may be made in special cases provided all of the following conditions exist:

1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of a valid license plate or placard for “disabled persons” or “disabled veterans.”

2. The proposed accessible parking space must be in front of the applicant (or guardian’s) place of residence.

3. The applicant (or guardian) must provide at least one form of proof of residency at the subject address (i.e. current utility bill, State or Federal issued picture identification, or rental agreement). In addition, the applicant must be prepared to show proof of identity with a State-issued picture identification.

4. Residences with garages, carports and/or driveways are not eligible for an on-street accessible parking space.

5. On the application, the applicant (or guardian) must state why an on-street accessible parking space is being requested.

6. For residences not owned by the applicant (or guardian) the landlord/property owner must sign the application to confirm and agree to the accessible parking space being placed in front of the residence.

7. The decision to install an on-street parking space will also be based on the sidewalk conditions adjacent to the residence and the obstacle-free navigation of a disabled person from a vehicle parked in the accessible space to the sidewalk as determined by the Public Works Department.

8. To ensure continued eligibility, the applicant must submit to the City a copy of the disabled persons license or placard renewal provided by the State every two years.

Staff Report – Blue Curbs
Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 26, 2022, page 5 of 7
Business Eligibility Criteria:

It is not the intention of the City to provide reserved parking in the public right-of- way, especially in business areas. However, exceptions may be made in special cases provided all of the following conditions exist:

1. All non-residential land uses with usable floor space of 50,000 square feet or less and that are not noted as a major point of assembly will be defined as commercial and/or office buildings. This category also includes assisted living facilities and senior apartments. The applicant must provide proof of business ownership or property ownership of the subject address.

2. For businesses located in a building or on property not owned by the applicant, the landlord/property owner must sign the application to confirm and agree to the accessible parking space being placed in front of the business.

3. Before an on-street parking space is considered, the applicant must demonstrate that the property currently meets City and State requirements regarding the number of on-site accessible parking spaces and state why the requested parking space cannot be installed on-site.

4. The decision to install an on-street parking space will also be based on the sidewalk conditions adjacent to the business and the obstacle-free navigation of a disabled person from a vehicle parked in the accessible space to the sidewalk as determined by the Public Works Department.

Evaluation of Location:

City staff will also consider the following when evaluating an application for accessible on-street parking. To qualify for an accessible on-street parking space, the proposed location must meet all of the following requirements:

1. The requested on-street space is immediately adjacent to an ADA compliant ramp or a compliant driveway approach with a clear path of travel.

2. The requested on-street parking space is located so that the disabled person is not required to wheel or walk behind or in front of a parked vehicle other than their own. The curb lane or street is wide enough that the disabled person is not required to wheel or walk in traffic.

3. There are no obstructions on the sidewalk adjacent to and for the full length of the parking space.

Note: If the requested on-street space is not located in close proximity to an ADA compliant curb ramp or driveway approach for access to the sidewalk or walkway, the accessible space may need to be provided in a different location such as at the nearest corner with an accessible curb ramp. If there is not an accessible curb Staff Report – Blue Curbs
Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 26, 2022, page 6 of 7
ramp at the nearest corner, a compliant curb ramp may need to be installed prior to providing the accessible parking space.

The City of Compton is not required to make any structural changes to existing on- street parking if accessible on-street parking is already nearby. The City of Compton prefers that accessible parking be located off-street whenever feasible.

PROCEDURE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF ACCESSIBLE ON-STREET

(Blue Curb) Policy and Procedures
Update Adopted by the City Council on ______________, 2022 DRAFT
City of Compton Blue Curb Policy
City of Compton
Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (Blue Curb)
Policy and Procedures

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of an accessible parking zone for disabled persons is to provide designated parking at major points of assembly for the exclusive use of physically disabled persons whose vehicles display a valid license plate or placard as authorized by the California Vehicle Code. In certain circumstances, an on-street accessible parking zone may also be provided adjacent to or near an individual residence or business.

Accessible parking is regulated by the Access Board, an independent federal agency that is responsible for developing accessibility guidelines. Accessibility related to public roadways is also regulated by the US Department of Transportation, the California Vehicle Code, and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). The City’s policy is in compliance with the applicable regulations of these agencies.

The City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.14, Subsections B & C authorize the Traffic Authority1 to determine the location of disabled parking at on-street locations and within publicly owned, leased or controlled parking facilities.

On-street accessible parking spaces will only be considered when off-street parking is not available for an applicant or parking demands in the area prohibit the applicant from having the use of existing on-street parking near a residence, business or major point of assembly.

It should be noted that on-street accessible parking spaces are NOT:
A reserved parking space for the applicant
Intended as a private parking space for the applicant
For temporary or short-term need
1The Traffic Authority is the City of Compton’s Street Superintendent or authorized representative. (For on- street accessible parking, the City Engineer has been designated as the authorized representative.) City of Compton Blue Curb Policy
2 In establishing accessible on-street parking facilities for the disabled, a reasonable determination shall be made that the facility will serve more than one disabled person and that the need is of an on-going nature (accessible parking spaces will not be installed on the basis of a temporary disabled persons placard). The intent is to prevent the proliferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a short-term purpose, but are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily reduces available on-street parking for the general public, increases the City's maintenance and operation costs, and detracts from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program.

Accessible parking spaces will not be installed at locations with a no parking or no stopping any time prohibition. The accessible parking zones are in force twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, unless otherwise posted. All must comply with ADA requirements. The total number of accessible on-street parking spaces will be limited to no more than 1% of the total number of on-street parking spaces available in the area and shall be distributed uniformly within the area.

Accessible parking spaces shall be provided within all publicly owned, leased or controlled off-street parking facilities as specified below. On-street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to residences with garages, driveways and/or carports. On- street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to businesses or facilities that do not provide the required off-street accessible parking. The total number of accessible off- street parking spaces to be provided within an off-street parking facility shall be measured on the basis of demonstrated need or as determined by the requirements of the Office of the State Architect, whichever is greater, and approved by the City’s Building Official.

The contractor is also responsible for the maintenance and landscaping of the site including the removal of illegal dumping.

Therefore, in order for the City Manager to enter into a one hundred and eighty (180) working day non-exclusive, revocable Limited License Agreement for the Housing Successor Agency (“Agency”) owned property at 1434 West Compton Boulevard, Compton, California (“Property”), with All American Asphalt (“All American”) for temporary parking and storage of construction equipment and vehicles being used for the construction work and services pursuant to the City’s Annual Residential Street Rehabilitation Project, CIP# 18-01, Phase 2B (“Project”), City Council’s authorization is necessary.

The estimated total revenue is $24,000 based on a monthly rate of $4,000 for a total of six months. The funds will be deposited in the Housing Successor Agency fund under Rents and Concessions in Account No. 1205-000-000-3420.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a License Agreement with All American Asphalt to lease certain Housing Successor Agency-owned real property at 1434 West Compton Boulevard for the purpose of temporary parking and storage of equipment and vehicles being used for the construction work and services pursuant to the City’s Annual Residential Street Rehabilitation Project, CIP# 18-01, Phase 2B in the amount of $4,000 a month for one hundred eighty (180) working days.
