FROM: THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER

TO EMERGENCY PLANNING CONSULTANTS (EPC) FOR THE
REVISION AND UPDATE OF THE CITY’S HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN ($45,000)

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached Resolution will authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Emergency Planning Consultants for the revision and update of the City’s Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to the Disaster Mitigation act of 2000, local government agencies must adopt a Hazard Mitigation Plan and update it every five years to remain eligible for various pre-and-post disaster grants and community assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The City adopted a Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan and updated the Plan on December 13, 2011. The Plan has since expired on April 11, 2016, and needs to be updated as soon as possible. Failure to do so may have a detrimental financial impact on the City.

Staff published a Request for Proposal (RFP) on November 18, 2020 to solicit formal quotes to wit: IEM ($33,710.71), Emergency Planning Consultants ($45,000.00), Interwest Consulting Group ($45,000.00), AARC Consultants, LLC ($61,895.00), CMTS, LLC ($44,640.00).

On March 1, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25,618 to approve the use of Emergency Planning Consultants (EPC) to work with the Fire Department to prepare, revise and update the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

The revised local hazard mitigation plan was completed and approved on February 17, 2023.

On April 18, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25,818 to adopt the Hazard Mitigation Plan Dated February 17, 2023.

3.3.3. Hazard Mitigation – Staff Report
July 11, 2023, page 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The funds for this expenditure was available in the Fire Department’s 2021-2022 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 1001-690-000-4269, however the work was completed in 2023-2024 fiscal year.

The Fire department is requesting the City Manager to issue a purchase order to EPC for the completion of the revision and update of the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan.

City Council approval is needed because the expenditure exceeds $25,000.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this update is Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00). Funds for this expenditure is available in the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 1001- 690-000-4269.

The Compton Fire Department submitted a grant proposal to California Operations Emergency Services (Cal OES) to receive a reimbursement for 75% of the cost for the update of the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan; the proposal was approved December 19, 2019. Once completed, the City will be reimbursed Thirty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars and Zero Cents ($33,750.00) and will be deposited under “Other State Grants” in Account No. 1001-000-0000-3569.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the attached resolution.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER

INTO A FUNDS TRANSFER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE

CITY OF COMPTON

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a Funds Transfer Agreement between the California Department of Transportation and the City of Compton.

BACKGROUND
The Artesia Boulevard Overhead (State Bridge No. 53C1744, LA County Bridge No. 2446) carries Artesia Boulevard over the Alameda Railroad Corridor, Alameda Street, and Compton Creek. The bridge was constructed in 1956, is approximately 100 feet wide, and includes 10 spans of varying length for a total bridge length of 718’-0”. The bridge superstructure is comprised of steel girders with a cast-in-place concrete deck. As of the June 2019 Bridge Inspection Report, the bridge was flagged as Structurally Deficient with a Sufficiency Rating of 38.0 out of 100.

On December 18, 2020, fire damage was reported at Span 10, the easternmost span of the bridge. Subsequently, the bridge was closed to traffic and inspected by the Los Angeles County Public Works and the City of Compton Public Works staff. Steel girders exhibited significant distortion as a result of fire, and an April 2021 load analysis concluded that the structure’s remaining strength is sufficient to carry only the structure’s self-weight. Additional live loads (vehicular and pedestrian traffic) are prohibited on the bridge. Because most of the steel girder members were severely deformed and connections have been compromised, repairing the girders was not deemed feasible. The preferred repair solution was to replace Span 10.

In April 2021, City staff solicited a proposal from a qualified structural engineering firm and on December 21, 2021, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc. to develop options for the City to consider regarding the Artesia Bridge overcrossing.

4.4.4. Staff Report – Funds Transfer Agreement Between the California Department of Transportation and the City of Compton
Funds Transfer Agreement
July 5, 2023

On June 26, 2022, Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc. submitted a proposal to City staff recommending the preferred repair option of replacing the Span 10 superstructure with rolled steel beams and subsequently to include a precast concrete security wall panel at an estimated cost of $2,967,000. BCA submitted a proposal to provide preliminary engineering services which includes preparing bid documents for the repair work and to obtain the environmental clearance and permits necessary to hire a contractor to perform construction services on the Artesia Bridge
On July 27, 2022, the City submitted a funding request to reopen the Artesia Boulevard Bride to the California State Senator and Assemblyman. On September 6, 2022, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 179 into law. This was the budget vehicle containing a $12 million earmark for the Artesia Bridge earmarked for the City of Compton.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Section 19.56, subdivision (g)(1)(AQ) of the Budget Act of 2022 (the Act) appropriated $12,000,000 from the State General Fund to Caltrans to be allocated to the City of Compton for the Artesia Boulevard Bridge repairs.

Caltrans determined the best method for allocation to ensure the funds are used for the purposes specified in Section 19.56 of the Act is a Funds Transfer Agreement.

A county, city, district, or other local public body must provide the State with a copy of a resolution, order, motion, or ordinance of the local governing body which by law has authority to enter into an agreement, authorizing execution of the agreement.

The Funds provided under this Agreement will be used to pay for design, construction management, and construction as well as direct and indirect costs related to the replacement of portions of the Artesia Bridge (Project). The Project will replace the existing, fire-damaged Span 10 portion of the Artesia Boulevard Bridge because of the severity of the fire damage to the steel girder members and their connections. A replacement in-kind concept with steel girders shall consist of replacing the existing damaged structure with similar components involving the use of a steel superstructure with rolled girders including a security wall installation on the north and south sides of the bridge. Deliverables, acceptance criteria for deliverables include certain documentation (e.g. engineering plans, completed environmental document, copies of construction contracts, etc). The project is expected to take approximately 180 working days.

Staff Report – Funds Transfer Agreement Between the California Department of Transportation and the City of Compton
Funds Transfer Agreement
July 5, 2023

Therefore, in order to authorize the City Manager to enter a Fund Transfer Agreement between the California Department of Transportation and the City of Compton, City Council’s authorization is necessary.

ALTERNATIVE
There are no other alternatives being recommended at this time. The closure of the Artesia Bridge has not only caused major disruptions to the transportation network, but has resulted in negative impacts to residents, local businesses, the economy, and the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Compton shall only use Funds for the Project specified in the Act. City of Compton’s self- attestation verifying the intended use of funds shall be provided to the Department prior to the release of any funds.

The Funds will be encumbered within 2 days of the effective date of this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 19.56 of the Act, funds must be encumbered by June 30, 2024, and expended by June 30, 2026, or the funds will revert to the State’s General Fund by operation of law.

Funds in the amount of $12,000,000 are to deposited into a separate account for the Artesia Bridge Project for audit purposes.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.

Funds Transfer Agreement Between the California Department of Transportation and the City of Compton

1.1 The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the City of Compton (Compton) hereby enter into this Funds Transfer Agreement (Agreement) on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1.2 This Agreement is not valid until signed by both parties. This Agreement shall expire on Compton’s completion of its obligations under this Agreement, but may be extended by amending this Agreement.

2.2 Caltrans determined the best method for allocation to ensure the funds are used for the purposes specified in Section 19.56 of the Act is a funds transfer agreement.

2.3 Project Need and Goal

The Artesia Boulevard Overhead (State Bridge No. 53C1744, LA County Bridge No. 2446) carries Artesia Boulevard over the Alameda Railroad Corridor, Alameda Street, and Compton Creek. The bridge was constructed in 1956, is approximately 100 feet wide, and includes 10 spans of varying length for a total bridge length of 718’-0”. The bridge superstructure is comprised of steel girders with a cast-in-place concrete deck. As of June 2019 Bridge Inspection Report, the bridge was flagged as Structurally Deficient with a Sufficiency Rating of 38.0 out of 100.

On December 18, 2020, fire damage was reported at Span 10, the easternmost span of the bridge. Subsequently, the bridge was closed to traffic and inspected by the Los Angeles County Public Works and the City of Compton Pub lic Works staff. Steel girders exhibited significant distortion as a result of fire, and an April 2021 load analysis concluded that the structure’s remaining strength is sufficient to carry only the structure’s self -weight. Additional live loads (vehicular and pedestrian traffic) are prohibited on the bridge. Because most of the steel girder members are severely deformed and connections have been comprised, repairing the girders is not deemed feasible. The preferred repair solution is to replace Span 10.

FROM: MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO

ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER TO THE METROPOLITAN

WATER DISTRICT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (MWD)

TO PURCHASE IMPORTED WATER FOR FISCAL YEAR
2023-2024 FOR EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($800,000)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution authorizes the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) in the amount of $800,000 to pay for capacity charges, readiness to serve charges, and to purchase imported water for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

BACKGROUND
The Compton Municipal Water Department (Department) provides for the City’s water demands through two (2) sources; groundwater pumping wells and imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Department delivers a total annual demand of approximately 7,200 acre-feet of water. This is provided through groundwater pumping rights of 5,780 acre-feet of water (75%) and MWD imported water purchases of approximately 1,420 acre- feet.

The Department produces groundwater through its water rights from City water wells, augmented with additional, leased-in groundwater rights from other entities, and combines this with imported water purchased from MWD to meet the total water demand.

The Department has leased additional water rights for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2023-2024, but must ensure that imported water is made available. The City must pay for services as needed to meet all its anticipated demands, therefore, the Department anticipates purchasing 300 acre-feet of imported water from MWD for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 to meet its annual demands.

PURCHASE ORDER TO THE WATER REPLENISHMENT

DISTRICT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (WRD) FOR

GROUNDWATER PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT FEES FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 FOR FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
($5,000,000)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution authorizes the City Manager to issue a purchase order to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) in the amount of $5,000,000.00 for Groundwater Replenishment Assessment Fees for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024.

BACKGROUND
The Compton Municipal Water Department (Department) provides for the City’s water demands through two (2) sources: groundwater production and water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).

WRD is the groundwater management agency responsible for safe and reliable groundwater in the Central Basin and West Coast Basin in southern coastal Los Angeles County as is committed to provide, protect and preserve safe and sustainable groundwater. Compton is one of the cities that WRD serves.

The Department delivers a total of approximately 8,000 acre-feet of water on an annual basis. Water delivery is provided through City groundwater pumping rights (5,780 acre- feet) and a combination of lease-in groundwater pumping rights and MWD imported water (as needed) to make up the 2,220 acre-feet needed for the total delivery amount.

Pumping water from the underground basin assists the Department in the fulfillment of its goals and objectives. The Department acquires pumping rights from WRD on an annual basis.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The groundwater basin is managed by the WRD. WRD purchases imported and highly- treated recycled water, and adds this to captured storm water to recharge the

groundwater supply. WRD manages the groundwater basin and insures that the groundwater supply is properly recharged back into the basin. Groundwater pumped by municipal water utilities, water companies and others are imposed a Replenishment Assessment Fee (RA) by WRD for basin recharge purposes. The funds generated from the RA cover the cost of water purchased to replenish the two largest and most utilized groundwater basins in Southern California.

ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend any alternatives.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated annual cost for the Replenishment Assessment Fee is approximately Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The additional amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) is to cover the remainder of Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for March 2023 – June 2023.

Funds will be allocated annually during the budget development process in the Department’s Water Purchase Fund.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON APPROVING THE FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 83433 FOR

SUMMARY
Staff is requesting the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Final Tract Map No. 83433 for recordation to create 57-unit condominiums located at 250 North Central Avenue developed by the Olson Company.

BACKGROUND
The Olsen Company applied for a Tentative Tract Map in accordance with Section 28 of the Compton Municipal Code to develop 57-unit condominiums at 250 North Central Avenue.

On December 8, 2022, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the Tentative Tract Map to the City Council. On March 8, 2022, pursuant to Resolution No. 25,624, City Council approved the Tentative Tract Map No. 83433 based upon the following findings:

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 83433:

A. The proposed subdivision for condominium purposes will substantially comply with the proposed General Plan land use designation and zoning classification of General Commercial and Limited Commercial.

The Project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs of the General Plan with respect to land use consistency between the Project and the City General Plan. The General Plan permits the residential use at the density proposed by the Project.

The Project is also consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan of the City. More specifically, the Project is consistent with the following portions of the General Plan:

7.7.7. Final Tract Map No. 83433– Staff Report
July 11, 2023

Land Use Goal 5. The City of Compton will work to rehabilitate and conserve the existing neighborhoods.

The Project is consistent with Land Use Goal 5 because it converts a currently vacant and previously distressed site into single family attached residential and will complement the adjacent existing neighborhoods to the north and east.

Housing Goal 2. Provide a variety of types and an adequate supply of housing to meet the existing and future needs of City residents.

The Project is consistent with Housing Goal 2 because it provides a small condominium based single-family housing product, including three dwelling units restricted to low-income families.

Housing Goal 3. Eliminate conflicts between residential and nonresidential uses.

The Project is consistent with Housing Element Goal 3 because it replaces a former commercial use with an attached single-family product that provides a compatible transition between the adjacent existing single-family neighborhoods to the north, east and industrial type uses to the south.

Housing Goal 4. Increase opportunities for homeownership.

The Project is consistent with Housing Element Goal 4 because it provides for sale single-family housing units at attainable pricing, with three units at rates affordable to low-incomes.

Housing Goal 5. Promote equal opportunity for all residents to reside in the housing of their choice.

The Project is consistent with Housing Element Goal 5 because it provides for sale single-family housing units at attainable pricing, with three units at rates affordable to low-incomes.

The Project is consistent with Housing Element Goal 7 because it provides energy efficient housing consistent with the Green Building Code, including solar, energy star–labeled products and appliances.

Final Tract Map No. 83170– Staff Report
July 11, 2023

Air Quality Element Goal 3. Reduce emissions associated with vehicle miles traveled by providing a balance of jobs and housing.

The Project is consistent with Air Quality Element Goal 3 because it replaces a previous commercial use with residential in close proximity to available bus transit.

Air Quality Element Goal 4. Reduce emissions associated with energy consumption.

The Project is consistent with Air Quality Element 4 because it provides energy efficient housing consistent with the Green Building Code, including solar, electrical vehicle charging outlets, energy star–labeled products and appliances.

Air Quality Element Goal 5. Reduce air pollution emissions and impacts through site planning and building design.

The Project is consistent with Air Quality Element 5 because it is an infill development and provides energy efficient housing consistent with the Green Building Code.

The project conforms to the State Subdivision Map Act and the State Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (“SHMA”) of 1999 and Chapter 28 of the Compton Municipal Code. The Project conforms to the Subdivision Map Act (Cal. Gov. Code 66410 et seq.).

The Project conforms to the State Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (“SHMA”) of 1999.

The Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone is the only active fault zone that lies within the City of Compton. The fault zone runs through the southwest corner of Compton and is 2 miles southwest of the Project site. There are no designated Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones found within the City. Furthermore, any seismic impacts would be migrated by compliance with Building Codes. As required by the California Building Code (CBC), geotechnical and soils studies are required prior to Project grading. Project construction must then comply with the requirements of the approved geotechnical report and CBC.

The Project conforms to Chapter 28 of the Compton Municipal Code because it has complied with all procedural requirements of the Tentative Tract Map filing, as demonstrated in the recitals.

Final Tract Map No. 83170– Staff Report
July 11, 2023

B. The proposed subdivision for condominium purposes is located on a site that is physically suitable for residential development and will eliminate long-term blighted property and provide greater housing opportunities.

The Project site is currently vacant, with the majority of the site paved with asphalt or covered with concrete. Previously, the site contained a restaurant and vehicle storage yard. The building was demolished in June 2021. The Project will eliminate this long- term blight.

The Project will provide greater housing opportunities. The Project consists of a 57 single-family attached housing. The Project will provide affordably priced homes in an area with convenient access to schools, parks, shopping and employment. Target market for the community include couples, families, and first-time homebuyers. Of the 57 homes, three will be designated for low-income persons.

C. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

The site is physically suitable for the density proposed and is compatible with the single-family residential density existing in the surrounding vicinity. The Project proposes a density, 23 dwelling units per acre, below the maximum density allowed by zoning and provide three low-income units.

D. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure to fish or wildlife or their habitat.

The MND identifies no significant impacts to any biological resource. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure to fish or wildlife or their habitat because the City and the Project site are largely urbanized. Since surrounding areas are fully urbanized, there are no species identified as endangered, or candidates for listing in the City. Special interest and sensitive species are located far away from the site in the Compton Creek area.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Final Map shall be approved by City Council and recorded prior to issuance of a building permits. The preparation and recordation of the Final Map met all requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and Chapter 28 inclusive of the Compton Municipal Code.

The property owner has met all conditions of the Parcel Map and staff is recommending adoption.
