AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 10
Meeting: August 20, 2024
Title: Restaurant Lease Agreement – 114 E. Italia Street Presented by: Chris Marcarello, City Manager
Angel Carrillo, Deputy City Manager
Brian K. Lee, Director of Community Development
Recommendation: That the City Council:

1. Approve a lease agreement with Union Restaurant Group for the operation of a restaurant at 114 E. Italia Street; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In April 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for prospective restaurant operators for the lease of a City-owned commercial property at 114 E. Italia Street. The RFP notice was placed on the City’s website and on a commercial property brokerage listing service. Three (3) restaurant concept proposals were received in response to the RFP.

Following a review of the prospective operators and restaurant concepts, it is recommended that the City Council consider authorizing a 5-year lease agreement of the space with Union Restaurant Group, LLC (“Union”). The proprietor of Union, Marie Petulla, is an acclaimed restauranteur in the Los Angeles region, operating several well-known restaurants in the greater Los Angeles area. As proposed, Union’s newest restaurant, Rosalie, will feature the brand’s well-known pastas, pizzas and sandwiches in a free-flowing, comfortable dining space. The addition of Rosalie presents a unique opportunity for the City Council to enhance the Downtown district’s appeal as a food/entertainment destination in the San Gabriel Valley.

BACKGROUND:

Founded in 2014, Union Restaurant Group opened its doors in Pasadena using a concept that highlights local sustainability and simplicity. Union’s brand offers a proven model of success, with an ethos that is dedicated in encapsulating local neighborhoods. Since opening, Union Restaurant has been regularly recognized as a culinary destination, including receiving a Michelin Bid Gourmand rating, an award given to restaurants that offer highquality food at reasonable prices.

Over the last ten years, Union’s footprint has expanded to include Knead Pasta Bar + Market in Grand Central Market - Downtown Los Angeles and U-Street Pizza in Pasadena. Both locations feature a variety of Italian dishes, including fresh pastas, sandwiches and pizzas. Additionally, both restaurants offer the warmth and personality of Union Restaurant, providing a sense of community in the neighborhoods they serve and highlighting sustainability throughout their menus.

Union is led by Marie Petulla, who draws on two decades’ experience in restaurant hospitality and is widely known as a champion for women in the food industry. Ms. Petulla is joined by Director of Operations, Logan Bates, who served in a variety of restaurant roles for restaurant brands like Eureka, Trejo’s Tacos, Jon and Vinny’s and Union. As noted in its proposal, Rosalie’s marketing strategy will leverage Union’s brand recognition through in-person interactions and its existing social media/web presence that counts over seventy-five thousand followers.

1.4 Security Deposit. Concurrently with its execution and delivery to Landlord of a counterpart original of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the sum of Three Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-three and 50/100 Dollars ($3,163.50) as a security deposit for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall not be obligated to invest or pay interest on said security deposit.

If Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord may use all or any part of such deposit for the payment of any amount in default, to cure any other default or to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant. In the event that Landlord uses any portion of the deposit pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deliver to Landlord an additional cash deposit, restore such cash deposit to the required amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a payment default. In the event Landlord uses any cash deposit as provided in this Section, such action shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have by virtue of Tenant’s default. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CIVIL CODE SECTION 1950.7 TO THE EXTENT INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION.

1.5 Utilities. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all utilities and establishing utility service to the Premises with all utility providers.

1.7 No Relocation Benefits. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant was not an occupant of the Premises at the time the Premises were acquired by Landlord. Tenant further understands and agrees that as a “post-acquisition tenant,” as that term is defined in Cal. Code Regs., Title 25, § 6034(b)(1), Tenant is not eligible and furthermore waives all claims for relocation assistance and benefits under federal, state or local law. For purposes of this section “relocation assistance and benefits” shall mean the payment of relocation expenses and payment of just compensation, severance damages, unlawful pre-condemnation conduct, inverse condemnation and any other compensation, benefits and reimbursements.

Tenant’s Initials

1.8 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any payment under this Agreement or any other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any payment, or any other sum due from Tenant to Landlord is not received by the Landlord within five (5) days after such amount is due, whether or not any notice of default or another notice has been given, Tenant shall pay a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of all delinquent amounts. The parties hereby agree that such interest charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate and liquidation of the costs and damages Landlord will incur and suffer by reason of late payment by Tenant, and that such costs and damages are impractical to determine with specificity. Landlord’s acceptance of payment of such fees (or any other payments or partial payments) shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue sum, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies under this Lease. In the event that any check or other instrument of payment given by Tenant to Landlord is dishonored for any reason, the Landlord may charge a returned check fee.

1.9 Obligation to Refrain from Discrimination. Tenant covenants and agrees for itself that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person, or group of persons on account of sex, handicap status, marital status, race, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry in the lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises nor shall the Tenant, itself or any person claiming under or through it, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, or sublessees of the Premises.

1.10 Waste and Nuisance. Tenant shall not commit any waste on or about the Premises, nor commit or maintain any public or private nuisance on or about the Premises.

1.11 Compliance with Laws, Rules, Regulations. Tenant shall at all times comply with the requirements of local, state and federal laws, rules, orders and regulations now in force or which may hereinafter be in force (“Regulations”), including new Regulations and changes in Regulations, including any that require improvements to the Premises that are based on or relate to Tenant’s use of the Premises.

1.15 Landlord Work; Landlord Delays. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s cost, complete the improvements described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto (“Landlord Work”) on or before November 7, 2024, as extended by delays beyond the control of Landlord (“Landlord Work Deadline”).

A taxable possessory interest exists when a person or entity has the right to a beneficial use of tax exempt, government owned real property whether Rent is paid or not.

All possessory taxes are assessed yearly as of January 1st of each year.

The person or entity in actual or constructive possession of the property on the lien date is liable for the tax for the entire year. There is no provision for proration of the taxes. Upon termination of the occupancy and thereby the taxable possessory interest, the Tenant is still responsible for the remaining portion of the tax bill through the end of that year.

any increase caused by a change in the tax rate or by a change in assessed valuation) of any description levied or assessed during the term of this Lease by any governmental agency or entity on or against the Premises, personal property located on or in the Premises, or the leasehold estate created by this Agreement.

1.26 Surrender/Restoration. Tenant shall surrender the Premises by the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, with all of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and free of personal property and debris, and in good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. “Ordinary wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practices. Tenant shall repair any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Trade Fixtures, furnishings and equipment as well as the removal of any storage tank installed by or for Tenant, and the removal, replacement, or remediation of any soil, material or groundwater contaminated by Tenant. “Trade Fixtures” shall mean Tenant’s machinery and equipment that can be removed without doing material damage to the Premises. All Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or termination of this Lease, become the property of Landlord and be surrendered by Tenant with the Premises. “Alterations” are defined as modification of the improvements, other than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures, whether by addition or deletion. “Utility Installations” are defined as all floor and window coverings, air lines, power panels, electrical distribution, security and fire protection systems, communication systems, lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, plumbing, and fencing in and on the Premises. Tenant hereby agrees that if any personal property or trade fixtures are not promptly removed, Landlord may dispose of them in any manner (or retain them) without liability or compensation to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all contrary laws and statutes.

1.27 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with the written consent of the City, such tenancy shall (unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing) be a month-to-month tenancy terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, but the Base Rent shall be one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect as of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 12
Meeting: August 20, 2024
Title: Department of Public Works – Water Division – Purchase Agreement for (1) 2024 Ford Super Duty F-250 Truck
Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Interim Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Agreement with National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of one (1) 2024 Ford Super Duty F-250 Truck in an amount notto-exceed $75,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

As part of the City’s Fiscal Year 24-25 Operational Budget, the City Council approved the purchasing of a new water utility service truck. The new truck will replace an older, aging unit which suffered severe engine failure causing the need for a full engine replacement. Evidently, the City compared a full engine cost on an older, aging vehicle with the purchase of a new vehicle and deemed it was best to move forward with the new replacement vehicle purchase.

DISCUSSION:

The City is proposing to purchase a new 2024 Ford Super Duty F-250 Truck under Sourcewell Contract #091521- NAF, which is a contract negotiated by the State’s Department of General Services for Fleet Vehicles. The terms of the State contract make the negotiated pricing available to all public agencies from one of the seven contracted dealerships in the State, including National Auto Fleet Group in Watsonville, CA (Attachment A). In accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy, the City Council may use a competitive bid conducted by another public agency to purchase goods and services. Known as “piggybacking” on another contract, this process allows the City to receive the same competitively bid price without having to spend a significant amount of staff resources to formally bid and purchase the same goods or services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this vehicle purchase was included in the FY 2024-2025 Operating Budget in the Water Operations Budget account number (6010-5080-55550) Water-Transmission and Distribution-Motor Vehicles.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Not applicable.

CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 15
Meeting: August 20, 2024
Title: Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Agreement and Software License Agreement Between the City of Covina and Aclara Technologies LLC
Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Interim Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Agreement and Software License Agreement between the City of Covina and Aclara Technologies LLC.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Aclara Technologies LLC (Aclara) recently notified the City that AlcaraONE, the City’s current Automated Water Meter Reading (AMR) Software, will no longer be supported by Aclara. The current “STAR Programmer” AMR technology is set to be discontinued as Aclara moves toward a new Bluetooth Mobile Programmer. As such, City staff now finds it necessary to amend the current Maintenance and Software Licensing Agreements between Alcara and the City to reflect the transition to the new software and the procurement of new Meter Transmitter Unit (MTU) Programmers.

BACKGROUND:

On April 21, 2020 the City of Covina entered into a Maintenance Agreement with Aclara Technologies LLC for Automated Water Meter Reading (AMR) Software License. Prior to partnering directly with Aclara, the City utilized Global Water Management, LLC (Fathom) as its primary vendor for GIS, AMR, customer service and customer billing functions. As a precursor of coming changes in December 2019, Fathom announced it would be shuttering all operations and discontinue service for their customers and the City eventually transitioned to AVR, Inc. for utility billing software systems and services, and moved to Aclara Technologies LLC for AMR.

During the duration of its contract with the City, Fathom utilized Aclara technology for AMR and the STAR Programmer for the Meter Transmitter Units (MTU). Since Aclara equipment had been installed and utilized throughout the City’s water system for years, the shift to Aclara Technologies LLC was considered a prudent changeover and subsequently became a sole source agreement. As part of the new agreement, Aclara updated their existing software to AclaraONE, Aclara’s UHE Hosted Software Program for AMR which the City has been utilizing since 2020.

DISCUSSION:

The City was recently notified that the existing AclaraONE AMR software and MTU’s STAR Programmer would no longer be supported by the Aclara team and would instead be replaced with a new Bluetooth Mobile Programmer. As such, the staff finds it necessary to amend the current Maintenance and Software License Agreements to reflect these changes and replace the existing MTU Programmers.

Under the Maintenance and Software License Agreements, there is a one-time implementation fee of $5,152.50 and an approximate annual service provider cost of $28,777.52 (Table 1). The Meter Transmitter Unit (MTU) Programmers have a one-time implementation fee of $7,578.00 and an annual programmer fee of $1,440.00 (Table 2). Implementation will include staff training, integration support, and onboarding support.

Page 279 of 1264 ends

Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Agreement (Attachment A) and Amendment No. 1 to the Software License Agreement (Attachment B) will be effective at the time of software installation and will expire on October 2025, at which point the agreements will be eligible for renewal. The MTU Mobile Programmer (Attachment C) is expected to be installed by September 2024. In order to complete the software transition process, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute all amendments to the Aclara agreements based upon the attached quotations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The anticipated annual total for the Maintenance and License Software and MTU Programmers is $33,930.02 and $9,018.00, respectively. While funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2025 Water Fund (Account No. 60105000- 53100), an additional $12,000.00 is needed to accommodate the implementation and supplemental fees. As such, Resolution CC 2024-73 (Attachment D) appropriates the additional funds from the available Water Fund Balance.

The cost breakdowns are conveyed in the following tables:

Table 1: Maintenance and Software License
On-Going Annual Fees Approximate Annual Fees

Title: Resolution CC 2024-72 Accepting an Easement and Offer of Dedication for Public Purposes Associated with the Development of Property at 244 E. College Street Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Interim Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2024-72 accepting an easement and offer of dedication for public purposes associated with the development of property at 244 E. College Street.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Resolution CC 2024-72 (Attachment A) is presented for the City Council’s consideration to accept an easement and offer of dedication for public access purposes associated with the development of property at 244 E. College Street.

BACKGROUND:

On March 14, 2023, the Planning Commission approved Site Plan Review Case (SPR) 21-120 to construct a new 3-unit, 2-story, multi-family apartment development on a 0.24-acre property located at 244 E. College Street.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed development at 244 E. College Street was conditioned to dedicate the southerly three and one-half (3½) feet of the subject property along the existing alley to the City of Covina for alley widening purposes.

The proposed dedication is depicted on the location map (Attachment B) and Exhibit B of the Street Deed (Attachment C). The property owner has submitted the executed alley dedication documents to the City for formal acceptance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are fiscal impacts to the City associated with the acceptance of the street and alley dedications. The developer will be responsible for the costs associated with the widening of the alley south of College Street. The City will be responsible for the future on-going maintenance of the additional 3½ feet of pavement, however, the costs will be nominal.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

During the review process, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed project qualified for a Categorical Exemption from environmental review under Section 15332 (Class 32) – In-Fill Development of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Respectfully submitted,

CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 17
Meeting: August 20, 2024
Title: Request to Amend the City’s Classification Plan and Reorganize the Administrative Services Department and City Clerk’s Office
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution CC 2024-80 to establish and amend the City’s Classification Plan and establish job descriptions and salary ranges for the classifications of Director of Finance, Human Resources Manager and Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager within the Unaffiliated and Executive Compensation Rules.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

A review of the existing organizational staffing structures in the Administrative Services Department and City Clerk’s Office was recently completed to ensure that staffing resources are responsive to operational goals. Based on this review, it has been determined that restructuring certain functions will better meet organizational needs, enhance succession planning efforts and result in cost savings. The proposed amendments will maintain staffing levels, provide additional front-line staffing resources, reduce operating costs by approximately $143 thousand and provide opportunities for internal advancement in the organization.

BACKGROUND:

Administrative Services Department
As the result of an executive retirement in 2018, the City formed an Administrative Services Department (“ASD”) that combined finance, budget and accounting functions with human resources/risk management functions into one department. The ASD is structured with a director and two divisions overseen by deputy directors, as is illustrated below. This structure resulted in the decrease of one executive classification to the City’s Classification Plan.

Existing ASD Organizational Structure
With the pending retirement of the incumbent Administrative Services Director, the City evaluated alternatives to appropriately staff its finance and human resources functions moving forward. This evaluation was centered on enhancing responsiveness to the community, meeting operational needs, enhancing succession planning and generating cost savings. Through this evaluation, the following alternatives were identified:

Administrative Services
Department
Finance
Division
Human Resources
Division

Page 309 of 1264 ends

1. Continue with the Administrative Services Department structure;

2. Reestablish a Finance Department and Human Resources Department

3. Reestablish a Finance Department and transition Human Resources functions to the City Manager’s Office Based on the evaluation of these alternatives, it was determined that Option 3 would best meet the needs of the City. As proposed, this alternative will help to provide opportunities for internal advancement/succession planning, underfill an existing management classification with a staff-level classification and add front-line staff members to assist with customer service and administrative functions. As proposed, the City’s Classification Plan would be amended according to the tables below, maintaining existing headcount levels and generating roughly $152 thousand in savings during Fiscal Year 2025. The incumbent of Deputy Director of Administrative Services – Finance would be reclassified to Finance Director. Additionally, the vacant position of Deputy Director of Administrative Services – Human Resources would be reallocated to Human Resources Manager, to be filled through an internal promotion.

Proposed Reclassifications
Existing Classification Proposed Classification Cost Difference Director of Administrative Services Director of Finance $ (48,208.08) Deputy Administrative Services Director Human Resources Manager

City Clerk’s Office
Additionally, in order to enhance succession planning and recognize the increased workload assumed by an existing team member in the City Clerk’s Office, the Chief Deputy City Clerk completed a similar analysis of its operation. In reviewing comparable agencies in the market, it was determined that the City of Glendora utilizes the classification of Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager, which is distinguished from Covina’s Deputy City Clerk classification by its oversight of day-to-day operations, its supervision of records management functions, its preparation/administration of budgets and its ability to lead assigned functions for the Office.

In reviewing the Covina City Clerk’s Office functions, the incumbent Deputy City Clerk has grown to assume similar responsibilities, including oversight of day-to-day activities, overseeing the Office’s budget and providing front-line supervision to two part-time staff members. Based on this assessment and the need to enhance succession planning efforts, it is recommended that the Deputy City Clerk be reclassified to Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager.

As proposed, the Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager would be added to the Unaffiliated/Mid-Management Compensation Rules and the Chief Deputy City Clerk would be moved from the Unaffiliated/Mid-Management Rules to the Executive Compensation Rules. The total cost impact of these changes is roughly $8,534 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024-25.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for personnel was included in the City’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget. The proposed amendments will result in roughly $143 thousand in budget savings.
