Meeting: December 17, 2024
Title: City of Covina Annual and Five-Year Development Impact Fee Report for the Fiscal Year ending in June 30, 2024
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution CC 2024-118, approving the City of Covina Annual and Five-Year Development Impact Fee Report for the Fiscal Year ending in June 30, 2024.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Under the California Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000, et seq.) a city may collect from an applicant, as a condition of development approval, development impact fees (“DIFS”) on the basis that additional development generates additional need for public facilities and services, including but not limited to police, parkland, community centers, fire department services, and streets/traffic signals. The City of Covina first adopted a DIF Schedule in 2005, consisting of General Government, Library, Police, Park, Transportation, and Fire Facility Impact Fees.
DIFs are typically due at the time of building permit issuance for net-new non-residential developments. They are due before issuing a certificate of occupancy for net new residential developments. The Mitigation Fee Act (“Act”) (Gov. Code§ 66006(b)(1)) requires that cities prepare and make available to the public within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the last day of each fiscal year, information describing the type of fee in each account or fund, the amount of the fee, the beginning and ending balance of the account or fund, the amount of fees collected and interest earned, and details regarding the use of the fees. The Act also requires that for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the account or fund, and every five years after that, to make specified findings with respect to that portion of the account or fund that remains unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted (Gov. Code § 66001(d)). In addition, the City must review the information made available to the public at regularly scheduled public meetings at least 15 days after the information has been made public.
Per the provisions aforementioned, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution CC 2024-118, approving the attached City of Covina Annual and Five-Year Development Impact Fee Report and finding that the report is compliant with Government Code Section 66006(b)(A-H) and 66001(d) (A-D).
DISCUSSION:
Annual and Five-Year Development Impact Fee Report: Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2024 The report organization and description of each section are shown below.
1. Introduction and Background
This section briefly describes the legal and procedural parameters related to the required information for the annual report and the required five-year findings.
2. Description of Impact Fee Programs
This section briefly describes the types of fees in the accounts or funds for the City’s development impact fees pursuant to Gov. Code § 66006 (b)(1)(a). A description was provided for each impact fee.
Example: Police Impact Fee – A fee that the city imposes on new residential and non-residential development that is used to expand the City’s network of police facilities to accommodate new development. The City’s police facilities serve both residents and businesses. The City’s service population, i.e. the number of residents & workers within its service area, measures the need for police services and associated facilities
3. Development Impact Fee Schedule.
This section describes the amount of each development impact fee pursuant to Gov. Code § 66006(b)(1)(B). The report only addresses fees under the 2005 schedule during the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year, since those were the only fees collected during the fiscal year period. The City recently adopted a new Development Impact Fee Schedule (2024) which will be included in the following year's (FY2024/2025) annual and five-year report (effective September 2024).
4. Annual Report and Five-Year Findings
This section describes the organization of content for each development impact fee subsection and how they address the required reporting and findings under the MFA (shown below). This is followed by a subsection for each impact fee previously described.

Public Improvement Projects
The report addresses expenditures during the 2023/2024 Fiscal year which include the “Police Department Room Renovation” project”, “Traffic Signals Improvement Project – Barranca Avenue and Covina Boulevard” and “Fenimore Avenue and Calvados Avenue Water Main Replacement Project”, all of which have been completed.
The report also lays out fifteen (15) identified public improvement projects proposed to be funded with future development impact fee revenue. Each project includes an estimated start date (FY), project description, estimated total costs, percent of the total cost estimated to be contributed through DIF funding, identified potential funding from other sources, and a funding ‘status’. Most projects identified in the report are either partially funded or not yet funded. One example of an identified public improvement project that is partially funded is the Covina Recreation Village project. This large-scale project consists of the redevelopment of former warehouse buildings on an approximately 2.5-acre parcel, to create a brand-new gymnasium, park, and library facilities located at 640- 680 N Citrus Avenue. The project cost is estimated at approximately twenty-nine million dollars ($29,000,000).
Partial funding for this project has been attained through various grants, local funding sources such as Measure M, and federal appropriations. End-of-year balances for both the Library Facilities Impact Fee Fund and Park Facilities Impact Fee Fund have been assigned to their respective subtasks under the main Covina Recreation Village Project. It is expected that future revenues should also be assigned towards this project which is estimated to be completed by or before 2028.

Public Improvement Projects Summary
As of the end of the Fiscal Year 2023/2024, an unexpended fund balance of $264,010.07 has been assigned to the project “City Hall and PW Yard Master Plan and Design Project”.
The purpose of this project is to develop a master facility plan to expand and consolidate the city's city hall and public works yard facilities. One option is to assess the existing property located at 534 N Barranca Avenue for options to improve/increase facilities and maximize the use of the property for public services. The City is also considering the option to relocate the City Hall facilities to a new location to improve access and customer service.
At the close of the Fiscal Year, the project is considered partially funded. An amount of $35,989.93 still needs to be raised from future General Government Impact Fee revenue to begin this task.

Five-Year Findings Summary (Gov. Sec 66001 (d)(1)(A) through (D) A. Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the General Government Impact Fee is to provide additional general governmental facilities, vehicles, and equipment to serve the needs of new development in the City of Covina. New development increases the need for general governmental facilities to maintain the existing level of service.
B. Reasonable Relationship. Without additional general government facilities, the increase in demand associated with new development would result in a reduction in the level of service provided to all development in the City.
C. Sources of funding
The source of funding for the identified public improvement project is called out in Table 1.3.
D. Approximate Dates for Deposits of Funds
Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no exact date for which the funds will be deposited into the account to fund these capital improvement projects. Staff anticipates the estimated ‘start year’ for the City Hall and PW Yard Master Plan and Design Project to be FY 24/25 (table
1.3), however, the exact date may be updated at a later time (e.g. an upcoming annual report or upon City Council approval to commence project via a Resolution to appropriate the funds for this project).

Public Improvement Projects Summary
At the end of the 2023/2024 Fiscal Year, there is an unexpended balance of $210,483.94 which has been assigned to the project “Covina Recreation Village Project” which consists of a new library facility, new park amenities, a recreation center, and Parks and Recreation administrative offices. The Library facility impact fee contribution shall only be assigned to a subtask – “Library” construction costs. The Covina Recreation Village project Phase I construction began in September 2024; however, The Library Subtask is included in Phase III which is estimated to begin during the 26/27 Fiscal Year. The entire project is estimated to be completed (all three phases) by or before 2028. The new library facility will be a retro-fitting project consisting of the conversion of a former citrus packing facility. As of the close of the Fiscal year 2023-2024, this project is partially funded; however, construction can still begin on the project in the fiscal year 2025/2026 with a partial fund appropriation. There is a remaining amount of $1,789,516.06 that needs to be raised through future Library facility impact fee revenue. The city is currently strategizing ways to meet the funding gap such as potentially utilizing an interfund loan transfer to cover the costs for construction and paying back the loan through future library facility impact fee revenue. Should this approach be pursued, the city will include information in the following year's annual and five-year reports, as is required pursuant to Gov. Sec. 66006 (b)(1)(G).

B. Reasonable Relationship. Without additional library facilities and materials, the increase in demand associated with new development would reduce the level of service provided to all residents in the City.
C. Sources of Funding. The sources of funding for the identified public improvement project is identified in Table 2.3
D. Approximate Dates for Deposits of Funds. Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no exact date for which the funds will be deposited into the account to fund these capital improvement projects.
However, staff have anticipated the estimated ‘start year’ for the library construction at the Covina Recreation Village as 2026/2027 (Table 2.3) despite being partially funded as of the June 30, 2024 date. The construction start date may be revised depending on availability of funds and other factors.

Public Improvement Projects Summary
In Fiscal Year 2023/2024, $50,000 of revenue generated from the Police facilities impact fee was appropriated (Resolution CC-2024-09) to the project “PD Room Renovation”. The project consisted of a major renovation of its locker rooms and restroom areas, including one additional general-use restroom. All areas underwent demolition of all plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural aspects. The renovation included new flooring, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and additional lockers that also meet ADA compliance. The total cost of the project was $629,778.65 and included a Police Impact Fee contribution of 7.9%, the remaining 92.1% of project costs were funded through Measure CC ($383,463.70 or
60.9%), and Community Facilities District – PD Fund ($196,314 or 31.2%).
At the end of Fiscal Year 2023/2024, there is an unexpended fund balance of $71,303.83, which has been assigned to the projects “Expansion of Citywide Public Safety Camera and Surveillance Project” at $20,000, and “Covina Police Communications and Realtime Watch Center” at $51,303.83.
“Expansion of Citywide Public Safety Camera and Surveillance Project”. This project consists of the assessment and installation of additional public safety cameras where needed. One example includes additional cameras to be installed at Hollenbeck Park where the city recently installed a new walking/exercise path and pickleball courts.
Determining and installing additional cameras where needed will expand the public safety service offered by the Police Department to the public in these needed areas. At this time,
15 | P a g e
this project is considered partially funded (the city will determine funding for the remaining $30,000 to complete the project funding). Police Impact Fee contribution is estimated at 40% or $20,000. Supplemental funding may include such sources as Measure CC for the remaining $30,000.
“Covina Police Communications and Realtime Watch Center”. This project is meant to combine public safety dispatchers from multiple municipal police agencies to handle incoming calls from the public and dispatch police services to those in need of assistance.
The project is envisioned to increase public safety services at the local and regional levels.
At the close of the Fiscal Year, the project is considered partially funded, with the amount of $198,696.17 needed to be raised from future Police Impact Fee revenue. Other possible sources of funding for this project may include grant funding, local funding sources such as Measure CC, and anticipated contributions from participating agencies. If funding allows, the project is anticipated to start within the 2026/2027 Fiscal Year which will consist of planning, site acquisition, and/or long-term lease, and depending on the property conditions, a new build or Tenant Improvement to establish the new facility.
Other projects identified but not yet funded include the following:
“Police Department Parking Lot Security Enhancement Project”. This project consists of the planning, design, and installation of security features at Police Department Facilities.
At this time, this project is not yet funded. Police Impact Fee contribution is estimated at 33% or $25,000. Supplemental funding may include such sources as Measure CC for the remaining $50,000, however, a final determination for supplemental revenue has not yet been made. Police Department Staff are also researching potential grant funding opportunities to support this project.

Public Improvement Projects Summary
At the end of Fiscal Year 2023/2024, there is an unexpended fund balance of $66,272.60, The balance is to be assigned to the “Covina Recreation Village Project” which consists of new park amenities, a recreation center that will include an indoor gymnasium and rockclimbing facility, a dog park, Parks and Recreation administrative offices, a new library, children’s playground, dog park, and various outdoor amenities such as trails and vegetation. The Covina Recreation Village project Phase I construction began in September 2024. This project is included in all three phases of project construction, and the project is estimated to be completed by or before 2028. At the close of the Fiscal year 2023-2024, this project is partially funded; however, construction can continue with partial fund appropriation from the Park Facility Impact Fee fund. There is a remaining amount of
19 | P a g e
$433,727.40 that needs to be raised through future park facilities impact fee revenue to complete the 1.7% Impact Fee Contribution towards the total project cost (see Table 4.3).
The city is currently strategizing ways to meet the funding gap such as potentially utilizing an interfund loan transfer to cover the costs for construction and paying back the loan through future Park facilities impact fee revenue, since this project is currently under construction and funds are needed to ensure project completion. Should this approach be pursued, the city will include information in the consecutive annual and five-year report(s), as is required pursuant to Gov. Sec. 66006 (b)(1)(G).
The “Covina Park Picnic Facilities Expansion” project includes design work and construction and will expand existing facilities to create a large picnicking facility for the community to include additional accessible picnic tables, grilling stations, and shade structures. There are approximately $56,000 in bond funds available for the project and no funding available through the Park Facilities impact fee. The project is anticipated to utilize 20% or $15,000 in Park Impact Fees to complete the project and the construction start date is tentative for FY 26/27. Additional possible funding sources include Measure A, Measure CC, or Grant Funding if applicable. If funding to support this project is attainable through other sources, such as those mentioned, the project may proceed without contribution from impact fees.
The purpose of the “Park Master Plan Analysis Project” to develop a master park plan to expand and improve the city's park facilities. A recent study completed by Los Angeles County Department of parks and recreation shows that the city of Covina has a high and very high need for parks along the south and west portions of the city and along the northeast1. The amount of $30,000.00 still needs to be raised from future Park Facilities Impact Fee revenue to begin this task.
The “Sunkist Park Improvement Project” is a large-scale task involving several improvements at Sunkist Park, a subcomponent of the project consists of a Playground Expansion which will expand the existing playground to accommodate the increased use and needs of the growing surrounding community. The playground expansion task is to include accessible play features, a larger footprint, and a rubberized play surface. This task is currently unfunded. The project is looking to utilize $40,000 in Park Impact Fees to complete impact fee contribution towards this task. Other possible funding sources include Measure A, Measure CC, or Grant Funding if applicable. If funding to support this

Five-Year Findings Summary
A. Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the Transportation Facilities Impact Fee is to provide street improvements and traffic signals to mitigate the impacts of new development on Covina’s street system
B. Reasonable Relationship. New development generates additional vehicle traffic that increases the need for street capacity and traffic signals to maintain the existing level of service. Without additional street improvements and traffic signals, the increase in demand associated with new development would result in a reduction in the level of service provided to all development in the City.
C. Sources of Funding. Sources of funding are identified in Table 5.3 D. Approximate date for Deposit of Funds. Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no exact date for which the funds will be deposited into the account to fund these capital improvement projects.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 5
Meeting: December 17, 2024
Title: Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering Amount Not-to-Exceed $39,968 to Sewer System Management Plan Audit & Update Compliance to Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement between the City of Covina and Willdan Engineering in an amount not-to-exceed $39,968 related to the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Audit & Update.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:
On May 2, 2006, the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Water Quality Order 2006-0003, requiring all public agencies that own sanitary sewer collection systems greater than one mile in length to comply with the Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for Sanitary Sewer Systems. The WDRs are the regulatory standards for agencies that own or operate sanitary sewer collection systems that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly-owned treatment facility. The ultimate goal of the WDRs is to reduce the frequency and volume of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) by requiring cities to properly operate, maintain, and manage their wastewater collection system.
The three major components to the WDRs, namely that agencies affected by the regulations must abide by are:
Prohibit and Report SSOs to the SWRCB;
Develop and implement a system-specific SSMP; and
Monitor and update the SSMP no less frequently than every five years.
The City’s last SSMP recertification was approved and adopted by the City Council on December 16, 2014 and later updated again in December 2019 to reflect infrastructure improvements during that time and to provide staffing updates within the Department of Public Works. The City is required to update the SSMP in order to be compliant with the current mandate from Water Quality Order 2006-0003 and update the SSMP every 5 years.
On December 6, 2022, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted a new Order 2022-0103-DWQ outlining updated requirements for public agencies, which went into effect beginning June 4, 2023. The new order requires each agency upload and certify its SSMP Update or current SSMP to their online CIWQS Sanitary Sewer System Database to continue regulatory coverage from the previous Order. Under the new Order, the City will be required to submit a separate updated SSMP by August 2, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
The SSMP is a written document that details how an entity’s sewer system is operated, maintained, repaired, and funded. The SSMP sets forth goals and actions to be followed, and guidelines for various activities involved in managing, operating, maintaining, and expanding the sewer system. Moreover, it outlines how to minimize the occurrence of SSOs and how to properly respond to SSOs when they occur, including SWRCB reporting requirements that must be adhered to. Lastly, the SSMP must be updated periodically for effectiveness no less frequently than every five years. In order to achieve this, it is expected that each wastewater collection system agency develop and implement an SSMP, and update it on a regular basis. The last update of the City’s SSMP
occurred in December 2019. To ensure compliance under the previous regulation, an SSMP Audit, SSMP Update, and a Spill Emergency Response Plan Update is necessary.
Informal Request for Proposals (RFP) were sent out to three consultant firms for Sewer System Management Plan Audit & Update services. In response to the RFP, two proposals were received with the following result:
Rank Consultant Location Rating
1 Willdan Engineering Temecula, CA 95

Fund Amount Account No.
Sanitary Sewer $100,000 6300-2700-51005
Total $100,000
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3, Class 1, Sections 15301 and 15302. This exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.
The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

Proposal for Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Update 6 City of Covina
Project Understanding
The City is required to update its Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) every six years or sooner where applicable, in accordance with the State Water Resources Control Board Order No. 2022-0103- DWQ for the Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems (2022 SSS WDR) for Wastewater Collection Agencies, which was adopted on December 6, 2022 and became effective on June 5, 2023. This General Order serves as statewide waste discharge requirements and supersedes the previous State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) Order 2006-0003- DWQ and amendments thereafter. These amending provisions must be included in the City’s updated SSMP.
Our team members have reviewed various sections of the City’s SSMP and are also familiar with both the original and the updated provisions that need to be clearly evident in the pending SSMP Update.
Accomplishing this work assignment will involve concise communications with the City’s representative(s), thorough reviews of the City criteria and requests for specific focus and support in sections of the SSMP.
Scope of Work
Basic Methodology
Since a SSMP documents the basis, authorities, methods, procedures and references utilized to effectively manage and report the Enrollee’s sewer system operations and asset management, our approach will be as follows:
▪ Gather and review existing relevant information
▪ Discuss initial findings with City representatives to prepare a clear and solid base of work ▪ Prepare an updated draft SSMP
▪ Review and discuss the draft SSMP with City representatives in order to arrive at a usable, beneficial and compliant document
▪ Prepare the final SSMP that can be presented for adoption and then posted as required by the SWRCB Orders
Understanding and Coverage of Project
We are aware that the City desires to adopt a comprehensive and compliant updated SSMP in accordance with the State Regulations. To do this, we have already reviewed the City’s current SSMP and have an approach (basic methodology) which we believe will meet the objective.
The current 2022 SWRCB order defined eleven specific components for a complete SSMP report. We will need to clarify the existing document contents and probable additional content needs and then discuss our assessment with City representatives. This said, we would propose to start with a list of those sections and content that need updating. This list will be a basis for initial discussion with and interviewing of City staff members. Additionally, we will assess the information relative to existing sewage delivery to the County Sanitation District trunk sewers.
Once the applicable recent data is obtained from the City representatives and our initial overview discussion is accomplished, we will undertake document revisions/additions and begin drafting updates to the SSMP for further review and discussion with City representatives. Each of the required eleven
Proposal for Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Update 7 City of Covina
components will be reviewed and updated, as necessary, to comply with the initial and amended waste discharge requirement (WDR) Order of the SWRCB.
The updated draft SSMP will include the above emphasis points as well as all eleven (11) required elements and will be reviewed by and discussed with City representatives in order to arrive at a meaningful working document that complies with the current WDR.
The scope of work services include each of the elements listed below to ensure that each required program element is properly addressed.
A. Project Management and Meetings/ Review
1. We will conduct meetings and provide follow up notes for the following meetings:
a. A project kick-off meeting to go over the project goals and pick up available project data.
b. A second discussion meeting to review our initial research findings, gather any remaining data/information, and to conduct interviews of selected staff members on the administrative and operational activities in accomplishing the City’s SSMP. c. A meeting with City representatives to discuss the draft SSMP Update document.
2. As part of our project management services, Willdan will be applying our internal quality control (Q/C) reviews, correcting, and checking prior to presenting any of the project deliverables to the City representatives. This activity is integrated with our regular internal coordination and project team discussions as part of the activities necessary to accomplish a quality and timely delivery of the project.
Our approach to accomplishing the project Scope of Work as identified in the RFP is as follows:
Task A.1 Review current Sewer System Management Plan 2017 and also the current Sewer Master Plan.
This task will begin with obtaining the documents required to be reviewed:
1. The existing 2017 SSMP and related references, the 2002 Wastewater Master Plan, any SSMP Audit reports, 2019 SSMP Update and related maps and additions/changes to the sewer system.
2. The 2019 CCTV city-wide inspection data.
3. Existing operational and maintenance records and reports (including spill responses), and staff interview results.
4. Data relative to the changes/additions to the 2017 SSMP document for inclusion in the update report.
5. Reference links to or copies of City ordinances/codes relative to the legal authorities for accomplishing the obligations of the SSMP.
6. Copies of or website links to the public notifications and information provided to the community informing them of the plan, how it operates, and their obligations in connection therewith.
With this information compiled, we will begin the task of reviewing the documents to determine those items that require updating.
B. 2021-2024 SSMP Audit
1. Willdan is prepared to perform the 2021-2024 audit of relevant records, conduct interviews of involved City personnel, and prepare the required audit report for City records. We will accomplish the following activities to evaluate the plan compliance and effectiveness of the program as implemented for the City sewer system:
Proposal for Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Update 8 City of Covina
2. We will review copies of the City provided maintenance and response records on any reported SSO events, the follow-up actions taken, those actions taken since the previous audit report on recommendations made, identified problems within the sewer system, routine maintenance reports, changes/updates made to the City’s SSMP, records of training accomplished for first responders, outreach to local users regarding discharges to the sewer system, previous audit report, and other available relevant materials pertaining to the City’s sewer system, including the regular filings with the State CIWQS site.
3. We will interview the City’s first responders to reported SSO events and request copies of any notes made and records filed on such responses. We will also interview other staff members having knowledge of the City’s equipment utilized in these services and any contracted services provider assisting in the SSMP program accomplishment.
4. Identify deficiencies in the current management of the sewer program in compliance with the 2022 SSS WDR
5. We will compile the collective review findings and related documents into a letter report to the City in an editable format. The report will include audit findings and recommended corrective actions; a statement that sewer system operators’ input on the findings has been considered; and a proposed schedule for the City to address the identified deficiencies per the 2022 SSS WDR. City staff will submit the final report into CIWQS Sanitary Sewer System Database.
C. Prepare 2025 SSMP Update
Task 2 Evaluate City’s sewer system and discuss potential problem locations, identified by CCTV and other maintenance activities.
After a thorough review of the SSMP, SMP, CCTV reports, and maintenance logs we will have an indepth knowledge and understanding of the City’s sewer system. In addition, any subsequent CIP construction projects will be identified and incorporated into the project understanding. The comprehensive review of this information will allow us to review the overall system and discuss the need for any focused re-evaluations that may or may not be necessary at the current time. Should there be locations of capacity concern identified through maintenance activities, we will include that information into the considerations. These points will lead to inclusion of a discussion on the status of the City’s funding program to support the capacity assurance plan element.
Task 3 Review City’s funding available to meet the sewer capacity needed and develop an assurance plan.
The City will provide Willdan with programmed sewer CIP funding information. This funding will be reviewed and compared against the 2002 SMP and 2020 SMP Update, and subsequently constructed CIP or development projects, to develop a working understanding of the current status of the relationship between available funding and the needed sewer capacity. The SMP identified capacity improvement projects that will be the initial focus of this task. We will review available information to determine if any of these projects have been constructed or if other development projects have occurred which have changed the status of the sewer capacity. A review of the capacity enhancements required and the funding available will then be made.
Task 4 Fats, Oils, Grease Control Program
▪ Audit current program and provide recommendations.
▪ Review permitting system and effectiveness: BMPs used, legal authority, maintenance findings, experiences, and public outreach.
▪ Provide public outreach materials if needed.
Proposal for Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Update 9 City of Covina
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) are frequent issue encountered in SSO’s and cleaning operations. The City implements FOG discharge prohibitions, which are set forth in the Covina Municipal Code-Title 5, Sanitation and Health, Chapter 5.38-Fats, Oils and Grease Management and Discharge Control and has a link on it’s website to provide the necessary FOG information available to the public. We will review the information available to obtain a working understanding of the City’s FOG overall program. Pertinent subjects to be reviewed will include monitoring, inspection, audits, permitting, maintenance and public outreach. Recommendations will be made as findings may indicate.
Task 5 Legal Authority: review current City ordinances and revise, if necessary, to ensure compliance with current sanitary sewer discharge requirements.
Based upon our preliminary review, this component appears to require a correlation review and appropriate updates where applicable to the existing referenced legal authorities due to changes that may have occurred since the 2022 adoption of the SSMP report. This Section will also be reviewed for conformance with the Covina Municipal Code. We will perform the reviews and make appropriate recommendations.
Task 6 Operation and Maintenance Program
▪ Review CCTV investigation reports and records of structural and maintenance: deficit and repair activity.
▪ Consider sewer improvements completed since 2002 and facilitate the inclusion of completed projects into the City’s GIS system.
▪ Address the current rehabilitation and replacement plan, which relates to maintenance equipment & inventory, staff experience and training.
For this activity we will consider those sewer system piping features that have been installed since 2002 or as noted in the most recent update. This information will need to be entered into the City’s existing sewer GIS unless the City staff has already accomplished those updates. Additionally, the availability and review of CCTV investigation report summaries and the records of related system structural and maintenance defect repair activity, will be a basis for modifications within this component.
Task 7 Design and Performance Provisions
▪ Review applicable standards from other cities/state in design, construction, and inspection standards.
▪ Develop design & inspection guidelines.
In this component we will review the applicable revisions made since 2017 in the design, construction, inspection and testing standards/criteria utilized by the City in managing its sanitary sewer system.
Recommendations, including guidelines for design and inspection, will be made as findings may indicate.
Task 8 Sewer System Overflow Response Plan
▪ Verify section to ensure compliance with SWRCB Order WQ 2022-0103 DWQ Statewide WDR for Sanitary Sewer System.
▪ Meet with staff/inspectors to gather information about current SSO response and reporting practices.
We will thoroughly review this component which will involve examination of reference materials and resources available to the responders, the event containment and measuring practices, the notification references and process contained, the sampling and reporting requirements for, and the risk assessment for private lateral sewage discharge (PLSD). We will meet with City staff to obtain current information relative to SSO response and reporting.

Task 9 Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications Verify to Ensure Compliance
Verify section to ensure compliance with SWRCB Order WQ 2022-0103 DWQ Statewide WDR for Sanitary Sewer System.
This section of the SSMP will need to be updated to incorporate Monitoring, Reporting, and Record Keeping Requirements. We will include changes in notification (reporting) requirements, clarifications on spill categories for monitoring and reporting on major spills, enhanced record keeping and certification reports, and changes in handling private lateral sewer discharge reports.
Additionally, 4 other Sections of the SSMP will be reviewed to ensure that the information therein is current. The additional Sections and scope of work are discussed below.
Goals and Organization Components
We will review both of these components, to provide reference for accomplishing compliance with the monitoring and reporting requirements, updating or modifying the names, reporting flow chart, and related descriptors including adding time frames on reporting.
SSMP Program Audit – Report Preparation
SSMP, SSMP Program Audits, addresses the criteria of the Order, but any changes that may be necessary will be recommended after reviewing the prior Audit reports on file with the City. We do propose to review the schedule and any identified issues/questions that may be identified during the review activities.
Communication Program
Section Communication Program, appears to be in general compliance with the initial Order, but some clarification or improvement relative to the means and methods utilized to communicate to the audience of affected parties may be warranted in light of the current order regarding broader public accessibility and notifications. We will review the existing component to be confident that the public is reasonably aware of the purpose and intent of the WDR Order and its ramifications, and the requirement to submit or web post the City’s adopted SSMP for availability to the RWQCB or SWRCB.
Task 10 Provide Final Copies
Provide three (3) hard copies and one (1) digital copy of all files in MS-Word and also PDF in a USB flash drive.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 6
Meeting: December 17, 2024
Title: Resolution CC 2024-119 to Amend the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Program to Increase Funding from Measure W Municipal Funds – Fund Balance for Covina Recreation Village Project in Amount of $485,088.26 Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: 1. Adopt Resolution CC 2024-119 to appropriate $485,088.26 from available Measure W – Municipal Funds – Fund Balance to the Covina Recreation Village Project (Account No. 2510-5600-55200-P2202) to provide additional funding required for the installation of two storm water infiltration systems; and
2. Authorize the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to approve a contract Change Order for the Covina Recreation Village Project with Perera Construction and Design, Inc. in the amount of $869,479.08.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:
On July 16, 2024, the City Council approved a contract with Perera Construction and Design. Inc. for the construction of the Covina Recreation Village Project, which consists of a new gymnasium and offsite improvements including a dog park, new landscaping, restrooms, a playground and storage infiltration systems to comply with the California State Water Resources Control Board.
DISCUSSION:
The California State Water Resources Control Board requires redevelopment projects that create a land disturbance in excess of 5,000 square feet to install features that capture and treat storm water and eventually return treated water to the water supply. The Covina Recreation Village site design includes two sub-surface storm water infiltration vaults that have been sized to fulfill the regulatory requirement. Funding for the infiltration systems will be derived from the City’s Measure W – Municipal Funds fund balance. The proposed action will appropriate an additional $485,088.26 to the already available $300,000 from Measure W – Municipal Funds which were previously allocated for the installation of two storm water infiltration systems. The difference of $84,390.82 will be made up by foregoing the construction portion of the Covina Senior & Community Center – Bioswale (Design & Construction) Project until FY 2025/2026 and funds will be moved via Budget Transfer.
The current contract with Perera Construction and Design, Inc. allows the City to increase any item or portion of work described in the contract document by no more that 25% ($3,028,231.50) of the total contract amount ($12,112,926). With regards to the Covina Recreation Village Project, the proposed additional work and unit price cost as outlined in Attachment “B” amounts to $869,479.08 (comprised of the Biofiltration mechanism) and does not exceed the 25% threshold. Thus, there is no requirement or added value in bidding the new scope of work.
Adoption of Resolution CC 2024-119 will allow for the full amount of Measure W – Municipal Funds to be dedicated to fund the City’s requisite stormwater capture project / program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On July 16, 2024, the City Council approved a contract with Perera Construction & Design, Inc. for the construction of the Covina Recreation Village Project totaling $12,112,926. Adoption of Resolution CC 2024- 119 will appropriate an additional $485,088.26 to the already available $300,000 from Measure W – Municipal Funds into Account No: 2510-5600-55200-P2202. As previously mentioned, the difference of $84,390.82 will
be made up by foregoing the construction portion of the Covina Senior & Community Center – Bioswale (Design & Construction) until FY 2025/2026 and funds will be moved via Budget Transfer.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3, Class 1, Sections 15301 and 15302. This exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.
The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

ITEM NO. CC 7
Meeting: December 17, 2024
Title: Approval of Part-Time Salary Range Adjustments Subject to Minimum Wage and Revised Paid Sick Leave Policy for Part-Time Employees
Presented by: Joanna Espinosa, Senior Human Resources Analyst Recommendation: Approve salary range adjustments for classifications affected by the State mandated minimum wage increases effective January 1, 2025, as per Labor Code Section 1182.12(c)(3)(A).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
California law mandates that the minimum wage be increased when certain inflation-related events occur.
Specifically, California Labor Code section 1182.12 delegates authority to California’s Director of Finance to annually determine and certify to the Governor and State Legislature whether an adjustment to the minimum wage is appropriate. On August 1, 2024, the Director of Finance published a letter stating it was necessary for the minimum wage to rise by 3.18% to account for an inflation adjustment effective January 1, 2025. Accordingly, the new minimum wage in the State of California will be $16.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025.
The City Council will consider authorizing wage adjustments for certain classifications impacted by these mandates, effective January 1, 2025 (per Labor Code section 1182.12(c)(3)(A)). Additionally, these changes will impact salaries for other part-time classifications in related job families. As a result, it is requested that the City Council authorize salary adjustments to the other job classifications in the related job families to avoid salary compaction issues.
Human Resources is requesting City Council approval to increase the minimum wage for affected City job classifications as of January 1, 2025, as per Labor Code section 1182.12(c)(3)(A) and provide authority going forward to the City Manager to increase the minimum wage as necessary when mandated by law. The new minimum wage increase affects salaries for part-time positions that are currently under $16.50 per hour and also salaries for part-time positions in an identified job family that will be affected by compaction issues when the new minimum wage amount is implemented.
BACKGROUND:
On January 16, 2024, City Council approved a minimum wage salary adjustment to $16.50 an hour as per Labor Code section 1182.12(c)(3)(A), effective January 1, 2024, which was based on the annual inflation rate from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
This year, the state’s Department of Finance calculated that an adjustment of 3.18% to $16.50 per hour must be implemented by January 1, 2025. Increases to California’s minimum wage are expected to continue each calendar year under Labor Code section 1182.12 or other legislation. The revised Part-Time Salary Schedule is included as Exhibit A.
DISCUSSION:
The City has eight (8) part time job classifications subject to the 2025 minimum wage increase, wherein Step One of the respective salary range is currently below $16.50 per hour. Step One of the classifications of Administrative Intern, Community Resources Aide, Custodian, Engineering Intern, Library Page Shelver, Police Cadet, and
Student Aide is currently at $16.00 per hour, and Park Maintenance Assistant is $16.35. The proposed new ranges for the salary steps for these classifications to meet the State’s new minimum wage increase as of January 1, 2025 are as follows:
Classification Salary Steps
1 2 3 4 5
Administrative
Intern $16.50 $17.33 $18.19 $19.10 $20.06
Community
Resources Aide ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’
Custodian ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’
Engineering
Intern ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’
Library Page
Shelver ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’
Police Cadet ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’
Student Aide ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’
Additionally, the City has three (3) other part-time classifications within the same job family that will be affected by these increases, causing a salary compaction issue: Community Resources Assistant I (Step 1 is currently $16.80), Community Resources Assistant II (Step 1 is currently $17.64) and Community Resources Specialist (Step 1 is currently $20.00). In order to provide a consistent salary variance between classifications within this same job family, staff recommends that the following the salary ranges be adjusted:
Classification Salary Steps
1 2 3 4 5
Community
Resources
Assistant I
$17.33 $18.19 $19.10 $20.06 $21.06
Community

Assistant II $18.19 $19.10 $20.06 $21.06 $22.11
Community
Resources
Specialist
$20.40 $21.42 $22.49 $23.62 $24.80
Similarly, another classification will be affected by these increases causing a salary compaction. In order to provide a consistent salary variance and to remain competitive, staff recommends that the following the salary range be adjusted:
Classification Salary Steps
1 2 3 4 5
Classification Salary Steps
Park
Maintenance
Assistant
$17.00 $17.85 $18.74 $19.68 $20.66
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed wage adjustments will directly impact six (6) budgeted positions in the City. Additionally, fiftyseven (57) employees will be impacted due to salary compaction issues in related job families. It is estimated that these adjustments will increase salary/benefit expenses by $10,363.38 in Fiscal Year 2025.

Title: Direction on the Issuance of Notices to Proceed in the City’s Commercial Cannabis Permit Program RFP Process
Presented by: Cannabis Evaluation Committee
Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction regarding the selection of applicants in the City’s Commercial Cannabis RFP process to proceed in the preapplication and permit process.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In September 2023, the City Council authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for its Commercial Cannabis Permit Program. Proposals were received at the end of January 2024 and since this time, the City’s Cannabis Evaluation Committee has undergone an extensive vetting process of applicants consisting of the following phases:
Phase I: Review of applicant proposals for completeness and responsiveness to the RFP document.
Proposals were screened qualitatively, on a pass/fail basis under several categories. Phase II: Responsive proposals from Phase I were evaluated on a technical basis and awarded points under several categories, with a total of 2,000 points available. Phase III: Proposals that scored 1,600 points or greater (80% of total) in Phase II were invited to an inperson interview and evaluated under several categories, with a total of 200 points available. Phase IV: Applicants that scored 180 points or greater (90% of total) in Phase III have been placed onto a ranking list for the City Council’s further consideration and will be provided the opportunity to address the City Council.
As a result of this process, eight (8) applicants were placed on a ranking list and provided the opportunity to address the City Council on October 15, 2004 and provide presentations on their proposed business location and business model. Following applicant presentations, proposed business locations were rescreened and a defect was identified in one applicant proposal. An appeal hearing was held on December 9, 2024 and following applicant and public testimony, the hearing was continued to February 4, 2025.
While the appeal is pending, it is requested that the City Council provide direction relative to timing on the selection of applicant(s) to proceed to the preapplication phase for entitlements. The City Council may consider a wide range of alternatives, including the reservation of some or all of the notices to proceed until after the conclusion of the appeal, issuing some or all of the notices to proceed at this time, or awarding none at all.
BACKGROUND:
Following the City Council’s authorization to issue an RFP for the Commercial Cannabis Permit Program, the City created a dedicated page on its website – www.covinaca.gov/cannabisprogram - to serve as a centralized hub for information related to the RFP. In order to ensure an equitable and transparent process, all formal communications to applicants (applicant questions/City responses, RFP addenda, etc.) have been made in writing and provided on this website.
To initiate the RFP process, the City hosted a mandatory, in-person pre-proposal meeting on Thursday, October 5, 2023 to review the City’s website, RFP document, questions/answer process and submittal deadlines, among others. Twenty-eight (28) applicant representatives attended this meeting and a total of one hundred twenty-four (124) questions were received from prospective applicants and subsequently answered/posted on the City’s website to clarify the RFP document. Following the question/answer process, two (2) RFP addenda were issued to the RFP, including revising the proposal submittal deadline to January 31, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. A total of 11 applicant proposals were received, with 1 proposal being rejected due to its submission after the submittal deadline.
Phase I Evaluation
As described on pages 6-8 of the RFP document, applicant proposals were reviewed for completeness and responsiveness on a pass/fail basis under several categories, including payment of fees, confirmation that a business representative attended the mandatory pre-proposal meeting, adherence to proposal length/formatting requirements and completion/submittal of zoning verification/site control, background checks for business owners and acknowledgements, among others.
During this evaluation phase, it was determined that proposals from two (2) of the remaining ten (10) applicants were non-responsive and their proposals were rejected from further consideration. In accordance with Covina Municipal Code § 5.80.100, both applicants filed timely appeals on the determination and on July 16, 2024, the City Council conducted appeal hearings to take public testimony on the matters. Following the hearings, the Council sustained the decisions to reject both proposals from further consideration and on August 20, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolutions CC 2024-74 and CC 2024-75 upholding its decisions.
Phase II Evaluation
Following the Phase I Evaluation, the remaining eight (8) applicants were evaluated on a technical basis under several categories, including qualifications, business plan, community benefits, facility design/neighborhood compatibility and security plan. As described on pages 8-9 of the RFP, a total of 2,000 points were possible and proposals scoring 1,600 points or greater would be eligible to proceed to Phase III of the evaluation process.
Based on the review of applicant proposals, the following scores were tabulated for the remaining applicants:

Phase IV Evaluation
On October 15, 2024, each applicant was provided the opportunity to address the City Council and discuss its proposed business location, operations and business model. No formal action was taken by the Council at this meeting.
Following the City Council’s Study Session on October 15, 2024, applicant proposals were reevaluated to ensure compliance with the City’s Municipal Code (“CMC”), including a review of proposed business locations and zoning requirements. Based on this review, it was determined that the proposed business location for Covina Responsible and Compliant Retail, LLC at 1052 N. Citrus Avenue is not located in an eligible commercial zone.
The proposed location at 1052 N. Citrus Avenue is located in a C-2 Commercial Zone, which is not permitted for retail commercial cannabis businesses.
As a result, notice was provided to Covina Responsible and Compliant Retail, LLC (“CRC”) on October 21, 2024 identifying the defect in its proposal and that it was ineligible to proceed in the RFP evaluation process. CRC filed a timely appeal on October 31, 2024 and an appeal hearing was held with the City Council on December 9, 2024 at 4 p.m. Following testimony from the City and CRC, the City Council continued the public hearing to February 4, 2025.
Council Direction – Issuance of Notices to Proceed
While the appeal from CRC is pending, it is requested that the City Council provide direction relative to timing on the selection of applicant(s) to proceed to the preapplication phase for entitlements. The City Council may consider a wide range of alternatives, including the reservation of some or all of the notices to proceed until after the conclusion of the appeal, issuing some or all of the notices to proceed at this time, or awarding none at all.
Following the issuance of a notice to proceed, the selected applicant will have sixty (60) days to file its preapplication for a Conditional Use Permit, with the payment of all related fees. No extension periods will be provided. Should the applicant not meet this requirement, the applicant shall forfeit its ability to submit a preapplication for a CUP and the City may issue a notice to proceed to another eligible applicant.
Resolution CC 2023-96 (Process Standards for Commercial Cannabis Permit Applicants It is important to note that the City Council’s adopted Process Standards remain in effect for this competitive selection process. As adopted, applicants and their third-party representatives are discouraged from contacting members of the City Council regarding any matters related to the City’s Commercial Cannabis RFP process, zoning and/or land use issues. If contacted, City Councilmembers will not respond to said communications and will forward them to appropriate staff involved in the RFP process.

APPLICANT EVALUATION
City of Covina
Prepared by
Cannabis Evaluation Committee
OCTOBER 2024
2 Program Background
In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64 by a 57% majority, which allows the adult use of cannabis and established regulations related to cultivation, manufacturing, testing and retail sales.
As a part of these regulations, cities maintain the ability to regulate local businesses, enforce zoning rules, impose taxes and penalize unpermitted uses. State law further requires businesses in this industry to obtain a local permit prior to obtaining a State license.
In summer 2020, the Covina City Council requested an update on statewide regulations related to cannabis. This request was prompted by ongoing changes in the regulatory environment including the State’s adoption of the MAUCRSA, coupled with the observation that a growing number of local agencies have decided to implement local programs. Following its discussion, the Council requested the creation of a Cannabis Ad-Hoc Committee (“Committee”) comprised of two Councilmembers and staff from the City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, Police Department and Community Development Department to study the issue further.
From 2020-2023, the City engaged in an extensive analysis of the State’s voter-approved legalization of cannabis products. This analysis included a comprehensive review of laws, the study of other communities that have adopted local cannabis programs, an evaluation of potential public safety/public health impacts associated with cannabis and a robust community outreach component to engage the public on the topic.
Following this study and outreach process, in early 2023, the Covina Planning Commission recommended adoption of proposed amendments to the Covina Municipal Code. Later in February 21, 2023, the Covina City Council adopted Ordinance 23-01 amending the Covina Municipal Code to authorize the establishment and operation of up to three cannabis businesses in certain commercial and light manufacturing zones. The Ordinance further establishes a six hundred (600) foot buffer from certain sensitive uses and a comprehensive set of regulations, including development standards, security requirements, business operations, enforcement mechanisms and an entitlement process, subject to the review of the City’s Planning Commission and City Council.
3 Request for Proposals Process
In September 2023, the City Council adopted a fee schedule related to a Commercial Cannabis Business Permit Program and approved the issuance of a competitive, Request for Proposals (“RFP”) process for prospective applicants. Proposals were received in January 2024 and an extensive vetting process has been used to evaluate applicants. As a result of this vetting process, eight (8) applicants have progressed to the final evaluation phase and consideration by the Covina City Council.
In accordance with the City’s RFP, applicants that reach the final evaluation phase will be provided the opportunity to address the City Council. Following this step, the City Council – in its sole discretion – may choose to award a Notice to Proceed to up to three (3) applicants that scored ninety percent (90%) or above in Phase III of the evaluation process. Proposed business locations and a summary of each applicant’s proposal is included below.
