Barranca Avenue and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (Attachment B) between the City and TH Barranca, LLC (Trumark Homes) for the public improvements required for Tract No. 83178.

BACKGROUND:

On June 16, 2020, the Covina City Council approved a Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Covina and Trumark Homes regarding the property commonly known as “The Vita Pakt Property” located at 707 N. Barranca Avenue. Following the approval of the Non-Binding MOU, on September 1, 2020, the City Council approved the “Seller Put Option and Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property and Recording Instructions” (PSA) between Trumark Homes and the City of Covina. The aforementioned PSA involved the acquisition by the City of Covina from Trumark Homes the approximate 2.45 acres of land that comprise the portion of the former Vita Pakt property located immediately east of the Covina Metrolink Station.

On May 25, 2021, the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 83178 to redevelop an existing light industrial site to allow the construction of a 151-unit, three story, high density multi-family residential/transit-oriented development (TOD) on a 5.93-acre site.

The Covina City Council conditionally approved the Tentative Tract Map on June 15, 2021.

The City Engineer has reviewed the Tract Map (Attachment C) and has determined, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 16.14 (Final Maps and Parcel Maps) of the Covina Municipal Code, that all conditions for the approval of Tract No. 83178 have been met. Approval of the Tract Map by the City Council will allow recordation of the map by Los Angeles County; completing the subdivision process.

Prior to the recordation of the Tract Map, the developer must enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the City of Covina to ensure the installation of all necessary improvements including street, signing and striping, traffic signal installation, parkway landscaping, storm drain, sewer, and water improvements.

There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with the approval of Tract No. 83178.

Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Sep 20 2022
Title: Approve and Make AB 361 Findings for Special Brown Act Requirements for Teleconference Meetings
Presented By: Chris Marcarello, City Manager
Recommendation: Approve and make the following findings so that meetings of the City Council and the City’s Other Legislative Bodies are authorized to meet remotely in accordance with AB 361’s special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings: (1) the City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency; and (2) state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This item is on the agenda so that the City Council and the other legislative bodies of the City, including the Successor Agency to the Covina Redevelopment Agency, the Covina Public Financing Authority, the Covina Housing Authority, the Planning Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Traffic and Parking Advisory Commission, the Finance Advisory Commission and the Library Board of Trustees (collectively “City’s Other Legislative Bodies”) may meet virtually pursuant to Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361’s special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings. These special requirements give local public agencies greater flexibility to conduct teleconference meetings when there is a declared state of emergency and either social distancing is mandated or recommended, or when the legislative body determines an in-person meeting would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.

BACKGROUND:

On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency to exist in California due to the spread of COVID-19. The Governor subsequently issued numerous executive orders suspending or modifying state laws to facilitate the response to the emergency. Among other things, these executive orders superseded certain Brown Act requirements and established special rules to give local public agencies greater flexibility to conduct teleconference meetings. The special rules included provisions allowing local public agencies to conduct teleconference meetings without having to provide a physical location from which the public may attend or comment, without having to use teleconference locations that are publicly accessible, and without having to identify teleconference locations on the agenda. Those special rules expired on September 30, 2021.

On September 16, 2021, in anticipation of then-imminent expiration of his special rules for teleconference meetings, the Governor signed AB 361. In key part, this bill amends the Brown Act to establish special requirements for teleconference meetings if a legislative body of a local public agency makes two findings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3). Like the special rules in the Governor’s executive orders, the special Brown Act requirements in AB 361 include provisions allowing public agencies to conduct teleconference meetings without having to provide a physical location from which the public may attend or comment, without having to use teleconference locations that are publicly accessible, and without having to identify teleconference locations on the agenda. The AB 361 special Brown Act requirements are scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2024.

An agency may hold a public meeting under AB 361 under certain specified circumstances, including if it is held during a proclaimed state of emergency and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing. As discussed below, the declared emergency is still in effect and Los Angeles County officials recommend measures to promote social distancing.

In order for a local public agency to continue to be subject to the AB 361 special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings, a legislative body of a local public agency first must make a finding that it has “reconsidered” the circumstances of a declared state of emergency. Second, the legislative body must find that such emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the legislative body’s members to meet in person.

Alternatively, for the second finding, the legislative body must find that state or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures. These findings must be made again within 30 days and on a monthly basis thereafter.

The City Council last made these findings on September 6, 2022.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council and the City’s Other Legislative Bodies have met remotely or in a hybrid meeting format throughout the pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff pursuant to these requirements.

The factual circumstances exist for the City to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361. The declared emergency is still in effect. Furthermore, Los Angeles County officials recommend measures to promote social distancing. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Order Responding Together at Work and in the Community recommends physical distancing. The County Health Department encourages people at risk for severe illness or death from COVID-19 to take protective measures such as social distancing and, for those not yet fully vaccinated, to physically distance from others whose vaccination status is unknown. The County Health Department also continues to recommend that employers take steps to support physical distancing and that people maintain physical distancing to prevent COVID transmission in public settings. See http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/docs/HOO/HOO_SaferReturnWorkCommunity.pdf and http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/docs/PreventionPublicSettings.pdf.

Therefore, staff recommends the City Council approve and make the following findings so that meetings of the City Council and the City’s Other Legislative Bodies are authorized to be conducted remotely in accordance with AB 361 and subject to the special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings: (1) the City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency; and (2) state or local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing.

If the Council makes the findings and confirms that the City's Legislative Bodies will be meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, the City Council should make these findings again within 30 days to continue to be subject to the AB 361 special Brown Act requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 8
Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Sep 20 2022
Title: Investment Policies for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for the City of Covina and Successor Agency to the Covina Redevelopment Agency
Presented By: Anita Agramonte, Administrative Services Director Theresa Franke, Finance Manager
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2022-100 adopting an investment policy for the City’s investment portfolio for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and adopt Successor Agency Resolution SA 2022- 03 adopting an investment policy for the Agency’s investment portfolio for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:

An investment policy serves as the foundation for the City’s investment goals and priorities. Pursuant to Section 53646 of the Government Code, the Chief Fiscal Officer may annually render the investment policy to the City Council. The general purpose is to outline a philosophy and attitude that will guide the investment of City funds toward the desired investment goals.

As recommended by the City's Finance Advisory Commission, the City Council will consider amending the investment policy to permit the investment in City indebtedness payable solely out of revenues from revenueproducing entities (enterprise funds) and on approval of the Council, permit the investment in securities with maturities greater than five (5) years.

DISCUSSION:

In accordance with legislative recommendation and in keeping with industry best practices, the City of Covina's Director of Administrative Services annually reviews the City's/Agency's investment policies and submits the policies for Council adoption. This process helps to ensure that the policies meet the City's primary investment objectives of safety, liquidity, and return on investment. In addition, annual reviews confirm that the policies are in compliance with the California Government Code and other relevant legislation, statutes, and laws.

The 2022-2023 Investment Policies for the City of Covina and the Successor Agency are attached as Exhibit A to the resolutions. Each policy has been updated to allow additional investment options in compliance with the Government Code and also reflects changes approved by City Council at the August 16, 2022 meeting. Those changes delegate the City Council's authority to invest and reinvest City funds or to sell or exchange securities purchased, to the Mayor/City Council upon the recommendation of the City Manager, Administrative Services Director and City Treasurer. The policies have been presented to the City's Finance Commission, which voted to support staff's recommendation.

As proposed, the investment policy has been updated in Sections 8.1.9 and 8.1.9.1 to permit the investment in City indebtedness payable solely out of revenues from revenue-producing entities (enterprise funds). Further, the proposed revisions would, on approval of the City Council, permit the investment in securities with maturities greater than five (5) years.

Adoption of the investment policy at the start of the fiscal year does not preclude the City Council from amending the policy at any time during the fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Not applicable.

EXHIBIT A
1 CITY OF COVINA AND SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE COVINA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
PURPOSE:

A. This Investment Policy is set forth by the City of Covina and Successor Agency to the Covina Redevelopment Agency (collectively “City”) for the following purposes:

1. To establish a clear understanding for the Council, City management, responsible employees, and third parties of the objectives, policies, and guidelines for the investment of the City’s idle and surplus funds.

2. To offer guidance to investment staff and any outside advisers on the investment of City funds.

3. To establish a basis for evaluating investment results.

B. The general purpose of this Investment Policy is to outline a philosophy and attitude that will guide the investment of City funds toward the desired investment goals. It is intended to be sufficiently specific to be meaningful, yet adequately flexible to be practical.

C. By adoption of this Investment Policy, the City Council also delegates its authority to invest and reinvest City funds, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased, to the City Mayor/City Council, upon recommendation of the City Treasurer, City Manager and Administrative Services Director, for a period of one year. Pursuant to Section 53607 of the Government Code, any renewal of such delegation shall be made by, and at the discretion of, the City Council each year after review.

D. The City’s Mayor/City Council may enlist help of staff or a contract investment manager to fulfill such delegated investment duties, but the City’s Mayor/City Council must exercise prudence in the selection of any contract investment manager, impose suitable safeguards to prevent abuse in the exercise of discretion by the manager and staff, and the City’s Mayor/City Council remains responsible for any investment decisions made by contract investment manager or staff designated by the City Mayor/City Council in such delegated investment duties.

POLICY
It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner that will provide the highest investment return with maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

1.0 SCOPE:

This Investment Policy applies to all cash assets of the City. Cash assets held by the City shall be pooled in order to manage the City’s cash resources effectively. All pooled cash assets are accounted for in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and include the following funds:

CITY OF COVINA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 (Continued)
2 FUNDS:

1.1.1 General Fund

1.1.2 Special Revenue Funds

1.1.3 Debt Service Funds

1.1.4 Capital Projects Funds

1.1.5 Enterprise Funds

1.1.6 Internal Service Funds

1.1.7 Trust and Agency Funds
The scope of this investment policy does not extend to cash assets held by fiscal agents, deferred compensation cash assets or other cash assets over which the City does not exercise specific control.

2.0 PRUDENCE:

The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. This standard requires all investment officials, when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, to act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law and this Investment Policy.

3.0 OBJECTIVES:

The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City’s investment activities shall be:

3.1 Safety. Maintaining the principal value of assets entrusted to the City is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio by limiting investment risk in the portfolio. Additionally, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio shall consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets.

3.1.1 Credit Risk. The City will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to financial failure of the security issuer or backer by:
• Limiting exposure to poor credits and concentrating investments in the safest type of securities.
• Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries and advisors that the City will do business with.

CITY OF COVINA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 (Continued)
3 • Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the potential losses on individual investments will be minimized.
• Actively monitoring the investment portfolio for ratings changes, changing economic/market conditions, etc.

3.1.2 Interest Rate Risk. The City will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates by:
• Structuring the investment portfolio so that the securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities in the open market prior to maturity.
• Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities or short-term investment pools.

3.2 Liquidity. The City’s investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity).

3.3 Return on Investment. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The majority of the portfolio is limited to highly rated/low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
• Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

4.0 REPORTING:

In accordance with amended Section 53646 of the Government Code, the Treasurer will annually review the investment policy and render the policy to the City Council. Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, such moneys shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy.

Pursuant to Section 53646 of the Government Code, the Treasurer shall render a report to the City Council and City Manager, containing detailed information on all securities, investments, and moneys of the City. The report will be submitted on a quarterly basis and be provided to the Council within 30 days following the end of the quarter.

The report will contain the following information on the funds that are subject to this investment policy: 1) the type of investment, name of the issuer, date of maturity, par and dollar amount invested on all securities in each investment; 2) any investments, including loans and security lending programs, that are under the management of contracted parties; 3) for all securities held by

CITY OF COVINA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 (Continued)
4 the City and under management of any outside party that is also a local agency or Local Agency Investment Fund, the current market value as of the date of the report, and source of this valuation; 4) a statement of the portfolio’s compliance with the City’s investment policy, or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance; and 5) a statement denoting the City’s ability to meet its pools expenditure requirements for the next six months, or an explanation as to why sufficient money shall, or may, not be available.

The City Treasurer shall make a monthly report of any investment transactions to the City Council, in accordance with Section 53607 of the Government Code.

To the extent the City has funds invested in County investment pools the Treasurer shall request copies of all the investment reports generated by the Counties pursuant to Government Code Section 27133 and the annual audit required by Government Code Section 27134. The investment report shall reflect a summary of these reports and audits.

5.0 INTERNAL CONTROL:

The Administrative Services Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure designed to reasonably protect the assets of the City from loss, theft or misuse. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Accordingly, the Administrative Services Director shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal controls shall address the following points:

Control of collusion.
• Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping. • Custodial safekeeping.
• Avoidance of physical delivery of securities whenever possible and address control requirements for physical delivery where necessary. • Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members. • Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers. • Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian and implementation of the appropriate safeguards described in the GFOA Recommended Practice on "Electronic Transactions for State and Local Governments."
• Compliance and oversight with investment parameters including diversification and maximum maturities.

5 6.0 EXTERNAL AUDIT:

On at least an annual basis the City shall have an external auditor review the City’s investments and provide an opinion to the City respecting the City’s compliance with this Investment Policy.

7.0 QUALIFIED DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS:

The City shall transact business only with those banks, savings and loans, registered investment securities dealers, and authorized representatives of investment pools, as authorized by the California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. The purchase of any investment, other than those purchased directly from the issuer, shall be purchased either from an institution licensed by the State as a broker/dealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporation Code, who is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or a member of a Federally regulated securities exchange, a National or State-Chartered Bank, a savings association or federal association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), or a brokerage firm designed as a Primary Government Dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Mayor/City Council’s staff shall review all institutions that wish to do business with the City in order to determine if they are adequately capitalized, make markets in securities appropriate to the City’s needs, and agree to abide by the conditions set forth in this Investment Policy. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions must provide a current audited financial statement.

8.0 AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS AND DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:

All investments shall be made in accordance with Sections 53600 et seq. of the Government Code of California and as described in the “Permitted Investments” section of this Investment Policy.

EXHIBIT A
1 CITY OF COVINA AND SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE COVINA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
PURPOSE:

A. This Investment Policy is set forth by the City of Covina and Successor Agency to the Covina Redevelopment Agency (collectively “City”) for the following purposes:

1. To establish a clear understanding for the Council, City management, responsible employees, and third parties of the objectives, policies, and guidelines for the investment of the City’s idle and surplus funds.

2. To offer guidance to investment staff and any outside advisers on the investment of City funds.

3. To establish a basis for evaluating investment results.

B. The general purpose of this Investment Policy is to outline a philosophy and attitude that will guide the investment of City funds toward the desired investment goals. It is intended to be sufficiently specific to be meaningful, yet adequately flexible to be practical.

C. By adoption of this Investment Policy, the City Council also delegates its authority to invest and reinvest City funds, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased, to the City Mayor/City Council, upon recommendation of the City Treasurer, City Manager and Administrative Services Director, for a period of one year. Pursuant to Section 53607 of the Government Code, any renewal of such delegation shall be made by, and at the discretion of, the City Council each year after review.

D. The City’s Mayor/City Council may enlist help of staff or a contract investment manager to fulfill such delegated investment duties, but the City’s Mayor/City Council must exercise prudence in the selection of any contract investment manager, impose suitable safeguards to prevent abuse in the exercise of discretion by the manager and staff, and the City’s Mayor/City Council remains responsible for any investment decisions made by contract investment manager or staff designated by the City Mayor/City Council in such delegated investment duties.

POLICY
It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner that will provide the highest investment return with maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

1.0 SCOPE:

This Investment Policy applies to all cash assets of the City. Cash assets held by the City shall be pooled in order to manage the City’s cash resources effectively. All pooled cash assets are accounted for in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and include the following funds:

CITY OF COVINA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 (Continued)
2 FUNDS:

1.1.1 General Fund

1.1.2 Special Revenue Funds

1.1.3 Debt Service Funds

1.1.4 Capital Projects Funds

1.1.5 Enterprise Funds

1.1.6 Internal Service Funds

1.1.7 Trust and Agency Funds
The scope of this investment policy does not extend to cash assets held by fiscal agents, deferred compensation cash assets or other cash assets over which the City does not exercise specific control.

2.0 PRUDENCE:

The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. This standard requires all investment officials, when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, to act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law and this Investment Policy.

3.0 OBJECTIVES:

The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City’s investment activities shall be:

3.1 Safety. Maintaining the principal value of assets entrusted to the City is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio by limiting investment risk in the portfolio. Additionally, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio shall consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets.

3.1.1 Credit Risk. The City will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to financial failure of the security issuer or backer by:
• Limiting exposure to poor credits and concentrating investments in the safest type of securities.
• Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries and advisors that the City will do business with.

CITY OF COVINA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 (Continued)
3 • Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the potential losses on individual investments will be minimized.
• Actively monitoring the investment portfolio for ratings changes, changing economic/market conditions, etc.

3.1.2 Interest Rate Risk. The City will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates by:
• Structuring the investment portfolio so that the securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities in the open market prior to maturity.
• Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities or short-term investment pools.

3.2 Liquidity. The City’s investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity).

3.3 Return on Investment. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The majority of the portfolio is limited to highly rated/low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
• Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

4.0 REPORTING:

In accordance with amended Section 53646 of the Government Code, the Treasurer will annually review the investment policy and render the policy to the City Council. Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, such moneys shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy.

Pursuant to Section 53646 of the Government Code, the Treasurer shall render a report to the City Council and City Manager, containing detailed information on all securities, investments, and moneys of the City. The report will be submitted on a quarterly basis and be provided to the Council within 30 days following the end of the quarter.

The report will contain the following information on the funds that are subject to this investment policy: 1) the type of investment, name of the issuer, date of maturity, par and dollar amount invested on all securities in each investment; 2) any investments, including loans and security lending programs, that are under the management of contracted parties; 3) for all securities held by

CITY OF COVINA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 (Continued)
4 the City and under management of any outside party that is also a local agency or Local Agency Investment Fund, the current market value as of the date of the report, and source of this valuation; 4) a statement of the portfolio’s compliance with the City’s investment policy, or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance; and 5) a statement denoting the City’s ability to meet its pools expenditure requirements for the next six months, or an explanation as to why sufficient money shall, or may, not be available.

The City Treasurer shall make a monthly report of any investment transactions to the City Council, in accordance with Section 53607 of the Government Code.

To the extent the City has funds invested in County investment pools the Treasurer shall request copies of all the investment reports generated by the Counties pursuant to Government Code Section 27133 and the annual audit required by Government Code Section 27134. The investment report shall reflect a summary of these reports and audits.

5.0 INTERNAL CONTROL:

The Administrative Services Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure designed to reasonably protect the assets of the City from loss, theft or misuse. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Accordingly, the Administrative Services Director shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal controls shall address the following points:

Control of collusion.
• Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping. • Custodial safekeeping.
• Avoidance of physical delivery of securities whenever possible and address control requirements for physical delivery where necessary. • Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members. • Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers. • Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian and implementation of the appropriate safeguards described in the GFOA Recommended Practice on "Electronic Transactions for State and Local Governments."
• Compliance and oversight with investment parameters including diversification and maximum maturities.

CITY OF COVINA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 (Continued)
5 6.0 EXTERNAL AUDIT:

On at least an annual basis the City shall have an external auditor review the City’s investments and provide an opinion to the City respecting the City’s compliance with this Investment Policy.

7.0 QUALIFIED DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS:

The City shall transact business only with those banks, savings and loans, registered investment securities dealers, and authorized representatives of investment pools, as authorized by the California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. The purchase of any investment, other than those purchased directly from the issuer, shall be purchased either from an institution licensed by the State as a broker/dealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporation Code, who is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or a member of a Federally regulated securities exchange, a National or State-Chartered Bank, a savings association or federal association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), or a brokerage firm designed as a Primary Government Dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Mayor/City Council’s staff shall review all institutions that wish to do business with the City in order to determine if they are adequately capitalized, make markets in securities appropriate to the City’s needs, and agree to abide by the conditions set forth in this Investment Policy. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions must provide a current audited financial statement.

8.0 AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS AND DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:

All investments shall be made in accordance with Sections 53600 et seq. of the Government Code of California and as described in the “Permitted Investments” section of this Investment Policy.

The book value of the security will be used when calculating diversity compliance.

Title: Request to Amend the City's Classification Plan and Salary Schedules To Establish a Deputy Director of Community Development & Building Official Job Classification and a Planning Manager Job Classification within the Mid-Management, Supervisory and Professional, and Confidential and Technical Employees Compensation Rules Presented By: Suzanne Stone, Human Resources Manager
Anita Agramonte, Director of Administrative Services
Brian Lee, Director of Community Development
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution CC 2022-102 to establish and amend the City's Classification plan, and establish job descriptions and salary ranges for Deputy Director of Community Development & Building Official and Planning Manager within the MidManagement, Supervisory and Professional, and Confidential and Technical Employees (Unaffiliated) Compensation Rules.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

A review of the existing organizational staffing structure in the Community Development Department was recently completed to ensure that the Department is responsive to operational needs and organizational goals.

Based on this review, it has been determined that staffing adjustments are needed to better serve the public, maximize the City’s resources and ensure that the City is competitive within the local labor market. The proposed changes will establish succession planning tool for the Department and recognize the increased workload and level of responsibilities that have been assumed by existing team members in the Department. Funding for the positions will be provided through salary savings as the desire is to reclassify two current employees who are currently performing the functions of each of these new positions. The job specifications and salary schedules are attached with Resolution CC 2022-102 as Exhibit A hereto.

BACKGROUND:

On July 6, 2021, City Council approved the Mid-Management, Supervisory and Professional, and Confidential and Technical Employees (Unaffiliated) Compensation Rules, including Section 3. Covered Classifications. The attached Resolution to establish the new Deputy Director of Community Development & Building Official and the Planning Manager job classifications and salary ranges will amend Section 3 of the Unaffiliated Compensation Rules to include these two new job classifications.

On March 3, 2019, the position of City Planner was eliminated, while the Building Official position was created.

Since then, the more complex duties in the Planning division have been performed by the Senior Planner. The Senior Planner suited the needs of the Department at the time. Currently, the Department has grown in size and workload. The City’s development has increased significantly, which has impacted the duties of the Planning division, Building and Permits, and Code Enforcement divisions. The Department foresees that this development trend will continue as demand for housing and commercial building projects within the City of Covina continues to increase.

The Building Official position is required by State Law and cannot be eliminated. From 2015 to 2019, this function was performed for the City by a third-party contractor. In 2019, the City established a fulltime position to perform all building code evaluations and enforcement responsibilities. The Building Official also performs in-house plan checks, field building inspections, supervises the Permits and Code Enforcement staff, and assists the Director with administrative responsibilities. The responsibilities in both quantity and complexity for this role have also increased as the housing and commercial building demands within the City of Covina have increased, thereby making it necessary to expand the role of the Building Official to provide more in depth administrative and regulatory functions. The classification of Building Official will be unbudgeted once the position of Deputy Director of Community Development & Building Official is filled.

DISCUSSION:

Human Resources continues to review the operating structure and job classifications in the City’s departments to ensure competitiveness with the labor market and address changing operational needs. Based on the review of the current staffing needs in the Community Development Department, it was determined that the changes being recommended herein are necessary to support the growing needs of the Department's operations and the public it serves. This will also support succession planning for the City and provide a better career ladder for employees.

Therefore, it is recommended that the City adopt the new classifications and salary ranges for Planning Manager and Deputy Director of Community Development & Building Official.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for personnel was included and approved in the Department’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget, which was approved by City Council on May 17, 2022 and future adjustments will be requested as a Mid-Year Budget adjustment.

ITEM NO. CC 11
Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Sep 20 2022
Title: Report of 2022 Citywide Homeless Count Results
Presented By: Brian K. Lee, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Receive and file the report on the 2022 Street Homeless Count.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On February 22, 2022, the City participated in the 2022 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count (Count). The Street Count refers to the process of counting homeless persons residing in shelters or living on the street, in parks, cars or other places not meant for human habitation. In the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, the Homeless Count occurs on an annual basis and consists of four components: 1) the street count; 2) the demographic survey; 3) the shelter count; and 4) the youth count. Using the results from all four components of the Homeless Count, cities are able to estimate a point-in-time number of the homeless families and individuals who are sheltered and unsheltered in their jurisdictions. Covina historically participates in the Count annually, however the street count was cancelled in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so the most recent year for comparison is 2020. Final Count information reveals that on the night of February 22, 2022, fifty-two (52) individuals were experiencing homelessness in Covina. This represents a 43% reduction in homelessness in Covina from 2020 to 2022.

BACKGROUND:

On February 22, 2022, the Deployment Site for the Count was the Covina Senior and Community Center.

Volunteers received virtual training in the weeks prior to deployment, and had training opportunities on-site for those with questions.

In all, fifty-four (54) community volunteers teamed up to count the census tracts within the City, as well as in unincorporated areas and bordering census tracts of surrounding cities. Many community organizations participated in the Count, including local churches, Azusa Pacific University students, Los Angeles County employees, City employees, and many other generous community members. The Parks and Recreation Department provided the facility and staffing, and the Police Department counted census tracts not suitable for the general public.

The table below shows the final, official numbers issued by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), which is the Continuum of Care for Los Angeles County. LAHSA contracts with the University of Southern California to provide statistical analysis in determining the final count, as well as demographic information. Count information from past years is shown for comparison purposes in the tables below.

City and community-level homeless count data was released by LAHSA on September 8, 2022, showing that Covina has 49 unsheltered persons and 3 sheltered homeless persons, for a total of 52 persons.

As shown above the total number of homeless individuals in Los Angeles County has increased, although only modestly in the San Gabriel Valley, which is in SPA 3. Covina's count has declined since 2019.

Title: Adopt Resolution CC 2022-103 to Amend Agreement with Dudek, Inc. for CEQA Compliance Services and Execute Deposit Agreement with Bulletin Displays, LLC for the Receipt of Funds to be Deposited into Account 4010-0000-xxxxx-CEQA for CEQA Compliance Services for a Proposed Billboard Consisting of Two Digital Displays at 1720 E. Garvey Street
Presented By: Chris Marcarello, City Manager
Angel Carrillo, Deputy City Manager
Brian Lee, Community Development Director
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2022-103 to amend the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget to include a new deposit account 4010-0000-xxxxx-CEQA, authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Agreement between the City of Covina and Dudek, Inc., and to execute the Deposit Agreement between City of Covina and Bulletin Displays, LLC, for the receipt of funds to be deposited into Account 4010-0000-xxxxx-CEQA.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:

Bulletin Displays, LLC (Developer) has secured a lease at 1720 E. Garvey Street to construct and operate a billboard consisting of two digital displays. The project requires a various zoning changes as well as CEQA review. The Developer has agreed to reimburse the City for costs associated with the project and this Reimbursement Agreement memorializes the costs and scope of work. The proposed action would initiate the CEQA process, authorize the use of an on-call professional services firm to complete the analysis and authorize full reimbursement for these services by the developer. As proposed, the discretionary approvals for the project would be considered by the City's Planning Commission and City Council at a later date.

DISCUSSION:

Bulletin Displays, LLC has a lease at 1720 E. Garvey Street and is seeking to construct a billboard consisting of two digital displays each measuring 14 feet by 48 feet. The billboard would be owned and operated with all the maintenance and liability held by the Developer. The project requires various planning work including zone changes and a CEQA review. The Developer has agreed to pay for the costs associated with that work and the Reimbursement Agreement memorializes the costs, scope of work and schedule of reimbursement.

The City's existing on-call services agreements with qualified planning services firms help to streamline schedules and processes for many new development projects. Since 2015, Dudek has prepared the required environmental documents for CEQA compliance for the Banna/Lennar Project, Covina Forward Plan, Oakmont/Code Amendment, among others. Based on the many completed projects in the City, Dudek has successfully prepared environmental documents that were complete, timely and defensible. Based on these factors, it is recommended that the Council consider amending Dudek's professional services agreement to complete the CEQA compliance scope of work for the proposed freestanding LED billboard project at 1720 E. Garvey Street, as noted in Attachment D.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed action will amend the City's FY 2022-23 budget to create a new deposit account (4010-0000-xxxxxCEQA) in the amount of 87,199.62. The approval of Resolution CC 2022-103 (Attachment A) is to execute a deposit agreement with Bulletin Displays, LLC (Attachment B) to fund the costs associated with environmental services and other due diligence. As noted in the deposit agreement, Bulletin Displays will also be responsible for submitting and paying for applications for various discretionary land use approvals of its proposed project.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

This action is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly.

TERMS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following mutual promises and agreements, City and Applicant agree as follows:
1 Incorporation of Recitals. The parties agree that the Recitals constitute the factual basis upon which the City and the Applicant have entered into this Agreement. The City and the Applicant each acknowledge the accuracy of the Recitals and agree that the Recitals are incorporated into this Agreement as though fully set forth at length.

2. City to Retain Consultants. As a necessary and indispensable part of its fact finding process relating to the review of the Applicant’s proposed Project and uses of the Property, the City shall retain the services of Consultants as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to provide advice as the City may deem necessary in its reasonable and sole discretion. The contemplated general scope of work of the Consultants for the Project is attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by reference. The City reserves the right, in its reasonable and sole discretion, to amend the scope of work as it deems necessary and appropriate to the City’s proper review and consideration of the Applicant’s Project.

The Applicant agrees that, notwithstanding the Applicant’s reimbursement obligations under this Agreement, Consultants shall be the contractors exclusively of the City and not of the Applicant. Except for those disclosures required by law, including, without limitation, the Public Records Act, all conversations, notes, memoranda, correspondence and other forms of communication by and between the City and the Consultants shall be, to the extent permissible by law, privileged and confidential and not subject to disclosure to the Applicant. The Applicant agrees that it shall have no claim to, nor shall it assert any right in any reports, correspondence, plans, maps, drawings, news releases or any and all other documents or work product produced by the Consultants.

3. Applicant to Cooperate with Consultants. The Applicant agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Consultants. The Applicant agrees that it will instruct its agents, employees, consultants, contractors and attorneys to reasonably cooperate with the Consultants and to provide all necessary documents or information reasonably requested of them by the City and/or the Consultants; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the disclosure of any documents or information of the Applicant which by law is privileged, proprietary, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act.

65002.01000\9654564.1

5. Applicant’s Reimbursement of Fees, Costs and Expenditures. The Applicant shall reimburse the City for one hundred percent (100%) of the actual fees, costs and other expenditures incurred by the City relative to the Consultants (“Costs”). The City has preliminarily reviewed the scope of work required and has estimated the aggregate Costs to be approximately Eighty-seven thousand one hundred ninety-nine dollars and sixty-two cents ($87,199.62) (“Estimated Costs”). Within fifteen (15) days that the agreement is executed by the parties, Applicant shall pay to City a good faith deposit equal to fifty percent (50%) of the full amount of the Estimated Costs, which amount the City shall separately account for in a Project deposit account (“Deposit Account”). Within fifteen (15) days of the satisfactory completion of the first fifty percent (50%) of the scope of work, applicant shall pay to City the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the full amount of the estimated costs.

As the Consultants invoice the City for fees, costs, and expenditures associated with the Project, the City shall draw upon the Deposit Account to make payments to the Consultants.

The City may incur aggregate Consultants costs up to the Estimated Consultants Costs without consulting the Applicant. The City shall use reasonable good faith efforts to consult with the Applicant prior to amending any scope of services to be provided by the Consultants and incurring Costs which exceed the Estimated Costs (“Excess Costs”). The Applicant’s obligation to reimburse the City for the Excess Costs shall be contingent upon the City providing Applicant with written notice of the amendment of the scope of services to be performed by any Consultants and the estimated cost thereof prior to the commencement of work. Once the City provides such notice, Applicant shall be obligated to pay the Excess Costs in the same manner as the Estimated Costs provided above, City has no obligation to proceed with, or to instruct any Consultant to proceed with, any work that will result in Excess Costs unless and until Applicant pays an additional good faith deposit in the full amount of the estimated Excess Costs into the Deposit Account. In the event Applicant fails to make a required deposit, City shall have the right to consider Applicant’s Project applications as withdrawn and City may cease processing such applications.

For purposes of this Section 5, the City shall be deemed to have consulted with the Applicant when the City has provided written notice to the Applicant that the City reasonably anticipates that it will incur, or has incurred, Excess Costs. If, after consultation, the Applicant disagrees with the City’s incurring of Excess Costs, then the Applicant’s sole and exclusive remedy will be to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, subject to the Applicant’s obligation to reimburse the City for all Costs incurred by the City prior to the date of termination, whether or not yet paid by the City to any Consultants.

The City shall maintain accurate records of invoices received from, and payments made to, the Consultants resulting from the Project, and will provide a payment summary to Applicant within a reasonable time upon request. In the event that excess funds remain in the

DRAFT
-5-
65002.01000\9654564.1
Deposit Account upon conclusion of the Project and after all final payments to the Consultants have been made, the City agrees to refund that excess amount, if any, to Applicant within fifteen (15) working days of final payment to the Consultants. Alternatively, if the Costs of the services of the Consultants exceed the Estimated Costs and Excess Costs, if any, then Applicant shall remain obligated to pay for all such Costs. Applicant shall pay any such amount within ten (10) calendar days of demand for payment by City.

6. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date that this Agreement is fully executed by the parties, and shall terminate when all services required for the Project by Consultants have been completed to the City’s reasonable satisfaction and the Applicant has satisfied all of its obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of this section, Applicant’s obligations shall include, but shall not be limited to, its obligation to reimburse the City for Estimated Costs and Excess Costs, whether or not paid by the City to Consultants prior to the date of termination. The Applicant’s obligation to reimburse the City as provided in this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.

7. Early Termination.

7.1 By City. The City may, in its reasonable and sole discretion, terminate this Agreement prior to the term set forth in Section 6 above, without cost or liability to the City, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Applicant in the event that Applicant either: (1) fails to satisfy any obligation of this Agreement; or (2) fails to reasonably prosecute its application(s) for the Project. In the event of such termination, Applicant shall be deemed to have withdrawn its application(s) for the Project.

7.2 By Applicant. The Applicant may, in its reasonable and sole discretion, terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the term set forth in Section 6 above, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the City; provided, however, that Applicant’s right to so terminate this Agreement is expressly contingent upon Applicant satisfying both of the following:
(1) Applicant shall give City written notice withdrawing its application(s) for the Project; and (2) Applicant shall satisfy all of its obligations under this Agreement up through the proposed effective date of termination. For purposes of this section, Applicant’s obligations shall include, but shall not be limited to, its obligation to reimburse the City for Estimated Costs and Excess Costs, whether or not paid by the City to Consultants prior to the date of termination.

Within two (2) working days following either the City’s decision to terminate this Agreement or the City’s receipt of written notice indicating the Applicant’s decision to terminate this Agreement, the City shall notify all Consultants and instruct them to cease work on the Project.

Consultants shall also be instructed to bill the City for any services completed prior to the date of termination.

8. City to Retain Absolute Discretion. The Applicant acknowledges and agrees that withstanding the Applicant’s reimbursement obligation under this Agreement, the City is not obligated to approve any or all of the proposed uses for the Property, to approve any environmental documents which may be required for any of the uses contemplated for the Property, or to approve any development agreement pertaining to the Property. The Applicant warrants and represents that no City official, officer, employee, agent or attorney has represented, expressly or impliedly, that the City will approve any proposed use of the Property. The Applicant understands that there will be numerous legislative and adjudicatory decisions made by the City, with regard to the development of the Property. All such decisions of the City with regard to the Property and the contemplated uses of the Property shall be made only after full compliance with all the City’s statutory and other legal obligations and after considering all appropriate information and evidence, including such evidence which may cause the City to disapprove any or all of the contemplated uses of the Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the City retains all authority and discretion granted to it by law to either approve, disapprove or modify any of the proposed uses of the Property. The Applicant agrees that the City may approve, or approve with modifications, any or all components of the Applicant’s proposed Project.

The Applicant agrees that the City shall not be bound by any recommendations or conclusions reached by the Consultants and that the City may accept or reject, in whole or in part, any such recommendations or conclusions which the City in its reasonable and sole discretion deems to be unreasonable or contrary to the City’s land use ordinances and regulations or State statutes or regulations.

9. Nonwaiver of Rights or Remedies. The failure of a party to exercise any one or more of its rights or remedies under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that party’s right to enforce that right or seek that remedy in the future. No course of conduct or act of forbearance on any one or more occasions shall be deemed to be an implied modification of the terms of this Agreement.

10. Assignability. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior and express written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to approve a request by the Applicant to assign this Agreement, the City may consider, among other things, the proposed assignee’s financial status and commitment to the Project. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void and shall confer no rights or benefits upon the assignee.

11. No Oral Modifications. This Agreement represents the entire understanding of the City and the Applicant, and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified, only by a writing signed by both the authorized representatives of both the City and the Applicant.

All modifications to this Agreement must be approved by the City Council of the City of Covina.

12. Binding Upon Successors. This Agreement and each of its terms shall be binding upon the City, the Applicant and their respective officers, elected officials, employees, agents, contractors, and permitted successors and assigns.

13. Legal Challenges. Nothing herein shall be construed to require City to defend any third party claims and suits challenging any action taken by the City with regard to any procedural or substantive aspect of the City’s approval of development of the Property, the environmental process, or the proposed Project. The Applicant may, however, in its sole and absolute discretion, appear as real party in interest in any such third party action or proceeding, and in such event, it and the City shall defend such action or proceeding and the Applicant shall be responsible and reimburse the City for whatever legal fees and expert or other costs, in their entirety, including actual attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by the City in defense of such action or proceeding. This City shall have the absolute right to retain such legal counsel as the City deems necessary and appropriate, and the Applicant shall reimburse the City for any and all attorneys’ fees and expert or other costs incurred by the City as a result of such third party action or proceeding. Applicant may, at any time, notify City in writing of its decision to terminate such reimbursement obligation and, thereafter, the City may choose, in its sole discretion, to defend or not defend such third party action or proceeding. In the event that the City decides not to continue the defense of such third party action or proceeding, Applicant shall be obligated to reimburse City for any and all costs, fees, penalties or damages associated with dismissing the action or proceeding. In the event that the City decides to continue the defense of such third party action or proceeding, Applicant shall have no further obligation to reimburse City for its attorney fees and expert or other costs.

14. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any action or proceeding is commenced by either the City or the Applicant against the other to establish the validity of this Agreement or to enforce any one or more of its terms, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other, in addition to all other legal and equitable remedies available to it, its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, including, without limitation, filing fees, service fees, deposition costs, and expert witness fees, including actual costs and attorneys’ fees on appeal.

15. Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is executed and is to be performed in the City of Covina, County of Los Angeles, State of California.

Subject: 1270 Garvey Street Digital Billboard Project – Proposal for CEQA Documentation
Dear Mr. Lee:

This letter provides Dudek’s proposal to assist the City of Covina (City) with preparation of CEQA documentation to analyze the environmental effects of a proposed digital billboard within the City. Included in this proposal are the following items:
▪ Project Description
▪ Scope of Work
▪ Schedule
▪ Assumptions
▪ Cost Estimate
1 Project Description
The 1270 Garvey Street Digital Billboard Project (proposed project) would involve construction and operation of a two-sided, V-shaped billboard at the western corner of the property located at 1270 Garvey Street in the City of Covina (Assessor Parcel Number 8447-031-052). Both faces of the billboard would have a digital display and would be oriented towards the adjacent Interstate 10 (I-10) freeway. Each billboard face would be 14 feet in height and 48 feet in width. The billboard faces would be supported by a standalone pole structure.

The project is located within the Village Oaks Office Park Planned Community Development (PCD) Overlay District.

The project site is located within an area designated as “Phase I” of the Village Oaks Office Park PCD. Updates to the City’s zoning ordinance and amendments to the Village Oaks Office Park PCD Overlay District may be required to accommodate the proposed billboard project. The project is also anticipated to require an Outdoor Advertising Display Permit from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) due to its location adjacent to a Caltrans facility.

TO: MR. BRIAN LEE
SUBJECT: 1270 GARVEY STREET DIGITAL BILLBOARD PROJECT – PROPOSAL FOR CEQA DOCUMENTATION 2 MAY 2022
2 Scope of Work
Based on Dudek’s current understanding of the proposed project, we anticipate that the appropriate form of CEQA documentation for the project will be an Initial Study supporting a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND).

The tasks below are proposed in support of our preparation of an IS/MND. However, if it is determined during the environmental review process that a different type of document would be more appropriate, changes to the scope and cost presented herein may be required.

Task 1 Project Initiation
Kick Off Meeting
Dudek’s project manager (Michele Finneyfrock) will attend a project kickoff conference call to establish lines of communication, receive project data, confirm roles and responsibilities, and confirm the project schedule. The meeting agenda will include confirming the general nature of the project description, providing a data needs list, and discussing the overall project approach. Dudek regards this task as a key component of successfully launching the work effort, and we look forward to discussing key environmental issues and setting the stage for a successful CEQA process.

Project Description
Upon receipt of the requested project description details, Dudek will prepare a Project Description that will characterize the proposed project. One round of review by the City is assumed. Once this section has been reviewed and approved by the City, Task 2, Optional Task 3 (if deemed necessary), and Task 4 will be initiated. Our scope assumes that the Project Description will not change substantially after approval by the City.

Task 1 Deliverables
▪ Data Needs List (Word)
▪ Draft and Final Project Description (Word)
Task 2 Lighting Study Peer Review
The City has provided Dudek with an applicant-prepared lighting study for the project. Dudek’s subconsultant Francis Krahe and Associates (FKA), lighting experts and consultants, will conduct a peer review of this study to determine whether the analysis is sufficient for the purposes of the environmental document.

Specifically, FKA will review the applicant-prepared Covina Message Center Digital LED Sign Impact Lighting Analysis dated April 17, 2017, and provide a peer review memorandum summarizing FKA’s evaluation and comments regarding the methods, accuracy, and conclusions of the report relative to the lighting impacts.

Recommendations for further study and analysis, if deemed necessary, will be included in the memorandum. This scope and cost also includes one round of peer review of the revised applicant-prepared lighting study, in the event that revisions are made by the applicant based on recommendations from the peer review memorandum.

The purpose of this second review will be to determine whether comments provided by FKA were incorporated.

Any subsequent peer reviews (e.g., a third or fourth round of peer review) will require a scope and cost augment.

Task 2 Deliverables
▪ Lighting Study Peer Review Memorandum (PDF)
Task 3 Optional Aesthetics Studies
Task 3.1 Optional Task: Augmented Lighting Study
Based on the results of Task 2, FKA and Dudek, in coordination with the City, may determine that additional lighting analysis is necessary in order to support and substantiate the project’s environmental analysis under CEQA. If this is the case, Dudek recommends that FKA be engaged to prepare a lighting study. FKA’s scope for the lighting study is provided below.

Existing Site Analysis
FKA will conduct a conduct a series of site tests to analyze and document the existing lighting conditions on the proposed property and adjacent properties. FKA will prepare an analysis of the proposed future lighting conditions on site and the net change to light incident onto three (3) receptor site locations. This scope and cost includes the analysis of 3 receptor locations; analysis of additional receptor locations can be added upon request at a rate of $3,000 each. The existing site analysis will include evaluation of documentation of the visibility of existing light sources at the project site, the measurements of incident and visible light at the receptor site locations from the project site, and photographs of existing views from the receptor site with notations presented in a section of the Lighting Technical Report titled "Existing Site Analysis.” Lighting Analysis – Sign Illumination
The Lighting Technical Report will be prepared in the following sequence:
▪ FKA is to receive complete illuminated sign data in 3D Model (ACAD Format) from the project applicant, including the maximum height of the illuminated sign, the maximum sign area, and the sign orientation angle relative to true north. Increased sign area and/or changes to the height of the sign will require revised calculations and revisions to the analysis, and would require additional scope and cost. ▪ FKA will analyze the lighting impact of the proposed illuminated sign improvements through calculations to forecast the illuminance (Foot-Candles), luminance (Foot-Lamberts), contrast, and visibility from sensitive receptor locations identified in the existing site analysis phase above. The analysis of the project sign lighting includes calculations at the project site property line and the nearby sensitive receptor property lines.
▪ The lighting analysis methodology will include the following thresholds:
- Section 21466.5 of the California Vehicle Code
- City of Covina Municipal Code Section 9.42.020
- City of West Covina Municipal Code Section 26-318
▪ FKA will analyze the lighting impact of the proposed illuminated sign with respect to compliance with the California Vehicle Code to address the impact on drivers within the adjacent freeway and public streets.

More detailed calculations or analysis of the project sign relative to freeway signs, or to address other

TO: MR. BRIAN LEE
SUBJECT: 1270 GARVEY STREET DIGITAL BILLBOARD PROJECT – PROPOSAL FOR CEQA DOCUMENTATION 4 MAY 2022
issues involving Caltrans, or other roadway analysis, if required, will be a part of a separate work authorization, and is not a part of this proposal.

Development of Potential Mitigation Measures
Where the analysis defines impacts to off-site areas from the proposed lighting, FKA will propose methods to reduce or control the lighting to mitigate these impacts. FKA will prepare guidelines and/or regulations to define the acceptable limits to the type, scale, aiming, orientation, and intensity of lighting as required effecting a successful reduction of any off-site impacts. FKA will work with Dudek and the City to present alternative solutions which maintain the proposed activities and objectives essential to the project’s success. Alternative solutions will consist of lighting sketches, specifications, and budgetary information to support the proposed alternates. FKA will present preliminary mitigation recommendations for review and approval. FKA will incorporate any comments or revisions into the mitigation and will then include the mitigation in the Lighting Technical Report.

Draft Lighting Technical Report
FKA will prepare a draft Lighting Technical Report, to be incorporated into the IS/MND. The Lighting Technical Report will summarize FKA’s analysis of the proposed sign lighting conditions for the project. Deliverables for this phase of the work will include the Lighting Technical Report summarizing the findings of the existing site analysis and the findings of the lighting analysis, including evaluation of contrast and glare, review of drivers’ safety on adjacent roadways, calculated illuminance at the property line and the nearby residential property lines, and the findings and conclusions with respect to lighting impacts from the proposed project sign.

Review and Coordination
FKA will respond to comments from the City on the draft Lighting Technical Report, including correspondence to address questions, comments, and revisions to be included in the final Lighting Technical Report. FKA will update the computer model calculations to revise and address comments, if needed. This scope and cost assumes City review of one (1) draft prior to final completion.

Final Lighting Technical Report
After review and approval by Dudek and the City, FKA will incorporate all final comments and revisions to create the final Lighting Technical Report, to be incorporated into the IS/MND. This scope and cost assumes no further comments/revisions will be required to the final Lighting Technical Report.

Assumptions
This scope does not include FKA’s attendance at meetings, including Planning Commission or City Council meetings. In the event that FKA’s attendance at meetings is determined to be necessary (e.g., based on anticipated comments/questions from the public and/or decision makers regarding light or glare generated by the project), FKA meeting attendance can be accommodated at additional cost.

Task 3.2 Optional Task: Visual Simulations
Upon request by the City, Dudek can prepare up to three (3) three-dimensional (3d) visual simulations of the proposed digital billboard from selected viewpoints. The exact photo locations will be determined during a field visit and in coordination with City staff. All photographs for visual simulations will be taken during a single site visit conducted by Dudek. The visual simulations will include existing site photographs as background images and true scale 3d models for the proposed sign rendered onto the existing photograph. The 3d models will include the digital billboard and support pole. This scope assumes the following: the applicant will provide dimensional drawings in PDF or another image format, plan and elevations shall also be included for the sign and support pole; digital images shall be provided to Dudek for the billboard faces; and, only daytime photos will be used for the 3d simulations (i.e., no nighttime views will be provided).

This scope and cost assumes two rounds of non-substantial revisions to the visual simulations, based on review and comment from the City. Substantial revisions to the project and/or additional simulations can be accommodated with additional scope and cost. (Additional simulations can be added at a cost of $800 each.) Task 3.2 Deliverables
▪ 3 draft visual simulations
▪ 3 revised visual simulations
▪ 3 finalized visual simulations
Task 4 Administrative Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Dudek will prepare the Initial Study checklist using Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. Project specific information provided by the project applicant and the City will be the primary documents referenced and used to prepare the Initial Study. Completion of the Initial Study will be dependent on timely receipt of requested project information. Relevant information that supports the analysis will be appended to the IS/MND.

The discussion below identifies only those issue areas where either modeling or additional technical work would be required to address the checklist questions. Because the proposed project does not entail substantial earth disturbing activities or changes in land use intensity, we are assuming that analysis required for the following Initial Study checklist issue areas would be minimal and qualitative in nature:
• Agriculture and Forestry Resources • Biological Resources • Hydrology and Water Quality • Mineral Resources
• Population and Housing • Public Services/Recreation
• Utilities and Service Systems • Wildfire

SUBJECT: 1270 GARVEY STREET DIGITAL BILLBOARD PROJECT – PROPOSAL FOR CEQA DOCUMENTATION 6 MAY 2022
Aesthetics
The results of the applicant-prepared lighting study will be summarized in the aesthetics section. In the event that Optional Task 3 is undertaken, the results of FKA’s lighting study and Dudek’s visual simulations will be incorporated. Additionally, relevant policies for visual resources and visual character/quality from the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance will be discussed and evaluated. In the event that mitigation is required to ensure that the billboard complies with applicable light and glare standards (per the results of Optional Task 3.1), such mitigation will be identified in this section.

Air Quality
An assessment of the air quality impacts associated with construction of the proposed project will be conducted using the significance thresholds in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) emissions-based thresholds. The assessment will include a brief discussion of criteria air pollutants and the attainment status of the South Coast Air Basin. Dudek will identify federal, state, and local regulatory agencies responsible for air quality management and will summarize applicable federal, state, and local air quality policies, regulations, and standards.

Dudek will estimate emissions associated with the construction phase of the project using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). The analysis of short-term construction emissions will be based on scheduling information (e.g., overall construction duration, phasing, and phase timing) and probable construction activities (e.g., construction equipment type and quantity, workers, and trucks). CalEEMod will also be used to estimate any area and mobile sources (e.g., maintenance vehicles), if needed. If this information is not available from the City or the applicant, Dudek can use model defaults or standardized approaches. Dudek will then evaluate the significance of the construction and operational emissions based on the significance thresholds established by the SCAQMD. Dudek will also assess the potential for the project’s construction activities to cause or contribute to exceedances of ambient air quality standards at sensitive receptors using the SCAQMD’s localized significance thresholds.

Dudek will qualitatively evaluate whether traffic associated with the project could lead to potential exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial localized concentrations of air pollutant emissions, specifically carbon monoxide “hot spots.” For budgetary purposes, it is assumed that no quantitative carbon monoxide hotspot modeling will be required. In addition, Dudek will qualitatively evaluate health effects of criteria air pollutant emissions.

Additional Appendix G thresholds will also be evaluated, including the potential for the project to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, to result in other emissions such as odors, or to impede attainment of the current SCAQMD air quality management plan. Details of the analysis (e.g., daily criteria air pollutant emission calculations) will be included in an appendix to the IS/MND.

Energy
Dudek will prepare an energy assessment for the project per Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The following evaluation topics will be applied as thresholds to assess if the project could have a significant impact on energy conservation: if the project would (1) Result in potentially significant environmental impacts due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project construction or operation, and (2) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. The project will be

TO: MR. BRIAN LEE
SUBJECT: 1270 GARVEY STREET DIGITAL BILLBOARD PROJECT – PROPOSAL FOR CEQA DOCUMENTATION 7 MAY 2022
assessed in regards to construction and operational energy consumption, which will be quantified to the extent estimation methods and project-specifics are available. Petroleum consumption will be estimated using CalEEMod or the EMFAC Motor Vehicle Emission Source Inventory Model and based on the same equipment and vehicle assumptions assumed in the air quality and greenhouse gas emissions analysis. Project operational energy consumption will also be quantified. Project elements that would reduce the project’s energy demand will be identified in the analysis as available. Dudek assumes that the City will provide a list of the project’s energy conservation measures, if any, prior to initiating air quality and greenhouse gas emissions modeling, as the energy analysis will be prepared consistent with the emissions modeling assumptions.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment will include a brief description of global climate change and a summary of applicable regulatory measures. Dudek will quantify GHG emissions associated with construction and operation of the proposed project using CalEEMod and the same construction and operational scenarios utilized in the air quality analysis. Construction GHG emissions will be amortized per SCAQMD guidance. In addition, estimated operational GHG emissions will include electrical generation from operation of the proposed billboard.

CalEEMod default values will be used if project specifics are not available. Details of the analysis (e.g., annual GHG emission calculations) will be included in an appendix to the IS/MND.

Dudek will assess the significance of the project with respect to the Appendix G thresholds; specifically, whether a project would (a) generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment and (b) conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. The City’s Energy Action Plan is not a qualified plan under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 and cannot be tiered from under environmental review. Nonetheless, Dudek will discuss how the proposed project complies with the City’s Energy Action Plan measures for reducing GHG emissions; state regulations related to reducing GHG emissions; General Plan goals, objectives, and policies that help the City contribute to regional GHG reduction efforts; and applicable development standards that would increase energy efficiency, such as the California Building Code. Dudek will also provide a qualitative post-2020 analysis that will evaluate whether or not the project-generated GHG emissions would impede the attainment of the 2030 and 2050 reduction goals identified in Senate Bill 32 and Executive Order S-3-05, respectively. Details of the analysis (e.g., annual GHG emission calculations) will be included in an appendix to the IS/MND.

Cultural Resources
Dudek has conducted cultural resources records searches in association with two previous CEQA documents in the project area in 2018 and 2019. This scope and budget assumes reliance on the results of those previous records searches, which cover the project site and the project vicinity.

Historic/Built Environment Resources
Dudek assumes that the proposed project would not involve demolition or alteration of structures. As such, direct effects to historic built environment resources are not anticipated to result from the project and thus will not require evaluating in the IS/MND. Furthermore, the building that is currently on the project site at 1270 Garvey Street was constructed in 1985, according to information on file at the Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor.

This building is not over 45 years of age and, therefore, does not have the potential to be a significant historical resource with the potential to be indirectly affected by an adjacent billboard. As such, indirect effects to historic

TO: MR. BRIAN LEE
SUBJECT: 1270 GARVEY STREET DIGITAL BILLBOARD PROJECT – PROPOSAL FOR CEQA DOCUMENTATION 8 MAY 2022
built environment resources are not anticipated. The analysis for historical built environment resources provided in the IS/MND is anticipated to be brief, and impacts are not expected.

Archaeological Resources/Human Remains
Dudek assumes reliance on the prior cultural resources records searches that have been conducted in the project area. Dudek assumes that no archaeological field survey is necessary, due to the built-out nature of the site.

Because the project would involve some ground disturbance, inadvertent finds measures are anticipated to be required and may be recommended as part of the IS/MND analysis.

Tribal Correspondence/Tribal Cultural Resources
Dudek will conduct a Sacred Lands File Search for the project site with the California Native American Heritage Commission. The project also requires compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 52 tribal notification and consultation.

Based on Dudek’s understanding of the project to date, compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 18 tribal notification and consultation is not anticipated. This scope and budget assumes that the City will be responsible for sending the required AB 52 notifications and that the City will coordinate and hold consultation meetings, if requested by tribes. In the event that SB 18 is determined to be required, this scope and budget assumes that the City will also be responsible for sending the SB 18 notifications and for coordinating and conducting any subsequent consultations.

This scope and budget includes up to 8 hours of support from a Dudek archaeologist for tribal consultation assistance. In the event that additional support is requested, this can be provided with additional scope and cost.

Geology and Soils
Geologic/Geotechnical Hazards
A portion of the property at 1270 Garvey Street has been mapped by the state as being with a liquefaction zone.

The property is not located within an earthquake fault zone or a landslide zone. It is anticipated that compliance with building code requirements would ensure that hazards associated with liquefaction are minimized to the extent feasible. This information will be summarized in the IS/MND, and recommendations for compliance with building code requirements will be provided, as needed.

Paleontological Resources
Dudek has conducted a paleontological resources records search in association with previous CEQA documents in the project area in 2018. This scope and budget assumes reliance on the results of the previous records search, which covers the project site and the project vicinity. Because the project would involve some ground disturbance, inadvertent finds measures are anticipated to be required and may be recommended as part of the IS/MND analysis.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
According to the state’s hazardous materials sites databases (EnviroStor and GeoTracker), the project site is not located on or near a hazardous materials site. The IS/MND will include documentation of a review of these databases. However, the project site is located immediately adjacent to a freeway, and underlying soils could

TO: MR. BRIAN LEE
SUBJECT: 1270 GARVEY STREET DIGITAL BILLBOARD PROJECT – PROPOSAL FOR CEQA DOCUMENTATION 9 MAY 2022
have been affected by aerially deposited lead. The IS/MND analysis will include an evaluation of the potential for aerially deposited lead to be encountered during excavation. If deemed necessary, measures will be recommended to ensure safe and proper disposal of such materials.

Land Use
The City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Village Oaks Office Park PCD Overlay District requirements will be reviewed to determine if the project would result in a potential conflict with any land use plan, policy, or ordinance adopted to avoid or mitigate an environmental effect.

Noise
Dudek will conduct a noise study of potential impacts to existing noise-sensitive land uses. The property is bounded generally by the I-10 freeway to the south, a hotel to the northwest, and business commercial uses to the north and east. The nearest residences are located approximately 400 feet northwest of the project site.

Potential construction noise impacts at the nearest noise-sensitive land uses will be evaluated based on construction equipment data to be provided by the project applicant or from similar projects and noise modeling methods developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Baseline noise in the project area will be estimated based on vehicle volume data for the I-10 that is publicly available on the Caltrans website. (This is considered a viable approach in lieu of ambient noise measurements in the project area, since I-10 is the dominant noise source.) Potential impacts at noise-sensitive land uses from on-site operational noise (mechanical or electrical equipment) will also be assessed, using applicant-provided equipment specifications, operating hours, etc. However, based on Dudek’s prior experience with digital billboard projects, operational noise is anticipated to be minimal to negligible.

The significance of noise impacts will be assessed based on the relevant City of Covina, state, and federal noise standards. Significant noise impacts are not anticipated; however, design features or mitigation to reduce noise will be recommended if deemed necessary. The results of the noise analysis will be summarized in the IS/MND.

Transportation
The proposed project is not anticipated to generate substantial numbers vehicle trips during construction or operation. As such, the analysis of construction traffic and operational vehicle miles traveled is assumed to be minimal and qualitative in nature.

It is Dudek’s understanding that the project would require Caltrans approval of an Outdoor Advertising Display Permit. The transportation discussion of the IS/MND will discuss the permit requirements, as needed. This scope and cost assumes that the project applicant, in coordination with the City (as needed) will be responsible for applying for the appropriate Caltrans permit, providing the application materials, and coordinating with Caltrans.

Aside from listing the requirement for an Outdoor Advertising Display Permit in the IS/MND, this scope and budget does not include any other Caltrans-specific work or analysis.

Task 4 Deliverables
▪ Administrative Draft IS/MND (Word)

TO: MR. BRIAN LEE
SUBJECT: 1270 GARVEY STREET DIGITAL BILLBOARD PROJECT – PROPOSAL FOR CEQA DOCUMENTATION 10 MAY 2022
Dudek will distribute an electronic copy of the Administrative Draft IS/MND in Microsoft Word files for easy review and editing to City staff. No hard copies of the Administrative Draft document will be provided. Dudek will respond to one set of consolidated comments provided by City staff and the applicant team (if City staff allows applicant review) to prepare the Screencheck version of the IS/MND. Any edits or comments from the applicant team will be provided to City staff to review and incorporate into the City’s comments (i.e., one set of consolidated comments is assumed).

Task 5 Screencheck & Public Review Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Based on City comments on the Administrative Draft IS/MND, Dudek will prepare a Screencheck document for City review to ensure the document incorporates all City comments. The Screencheck document will be provided as a Microsoft Word file. Typically, comments on a Screencheck document are minor and do not require significant updates or revisions to the analysis. If another version of the document, in addition to the Administrative Draft and Screencheck Draft, is requested by City staff for review and comment, a scope and cost amendment may be required.

Dudek will prepare the IS/MND for public review after receipt of City comments on the Screencheck. Below is a summary of the public review responsibilities assumed in this scope and cost:
▪ Dudek will provide the City with an electronic copy of the IS/MND in Microsoft Word, a web-ready version of the IS/MND in PDF form, 1 unbound hardcopy of the IS/MND (with appendices on a thumb drive), up to 3 bound hardcopies of the IS/MND (with appendices on a thumb drive), and up to 5 thumb drives with the full IS/MND.
▪ Dudek will prepare a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (NOI) for City review and use.
▪ In coordination with the City, Dudek will prepare the agency distribution list for the NOI and IS/MND, and Dudek will be responsible for mailing the NOI and copies of the IS/MND (on thumb drives) to the agency mailing list, using FedEx. This scope and cost assumes that no more than 20 addresses would be on the list.
▪ Dudek will transmit the NOI to the Los Angeles County Clerk for posting. ▪ Dudek will prepare a Notice of Completion (NOC) for the State Clearinghouse and will be responsible for posting the NOC, NOI, and IS/MND on the State Clearinghouse website. ▪ Dudek assumes that the City will be responsible for the following public review–related tasks: posting the IS/MND and NOI on the City webpage on the first day of public review; posting the NOI in a newspaper of general circulation, mailing the NOI to owners and occupants of properties contiguous to the project site, and/or posting of the NOI on and near the project site; and, mailing the NOI to the last known name and address of all organizations and individuals who have previously requested such notice in writing.
