AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. PH 1
Meeting: January 21, 2025
Title: Consideration of Resolutions CC 2025-03, 2025-04, & 2025-05, Authorizing Annexation of Territory to City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services) (Annexation No. 36), and to Call and Hold a Special Election Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP
Recommendation: 1. City Council to open the public hearing and consider public testimony and close the public hearing;

2. Adopt Resolution CC 2025-03, authorizing the annexation of territory to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Annexation No. 36; 831 W. Cypress Street, Covina) and authorizing the levy of a special tax and submitting the levy of tax to the qualified electors;

3. Adopt Resolution CC 2025-04, calling a special election and submitting to the voters of Annexation No. 36 of City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), propositions regarding the annual levy of special taxes within Annexation No. 36 to finance public services, and the establishment of an appropriations limit; and

4. Adopt Resolution CC 2025-05 making certain findings, certifying the results of an election and adding property to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), Annexation No. 36.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

At the December 3, 2024, City Council meeting, the Council adopted the boundary map showing territory proposed to be annexed as Annexation No. 36 and declared its intention to authorize the annexation of that territory to Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2007-1 (Public Services).

The purpose of the CFD is to finance the public safety and park services that are provided to the territory within the District beyond that provided by the City generally. In Fiscal Year 2024-2025 it has been determined that the cost of these services, for each additional multi-family residential home, will be $645.38 per year. This program has been conceived with the intention that all future residential development, which results in a net increase of non-exempted residential units, would be required to annex to the CFD. The project at 831 W. Cypress Street, Covina, has a total of ninety-seven (97) new multi-family residential units. The special tax will be applicable to all ninety-seven (97) residential units in Annexation No. 36.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of the public hearing is to 1) authorize the annexation of territory to the CFD (Annexation No. 36); 2) call and hold an election of property owners within the CFD, and 3) authorize the levy of a special tax within Annexation No. 36 to the CFD. The related resolutions are hereby presented to the City Council, pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for ninety-seven (97) new multi-family residential units to be built at 831 W. Cypress Street, Covina, California.

Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for development of ninety-seven (97) new multi-family residential units to be built at 831 W. Cypress Street, Covina, California, the applicant agreed to annex to the CFD, or to pay an in-lieu fee based on the financial impact on Police, Fire, Emergency, and Parks services. The builder opted to

annex into the CFD. Under the proposed CFD, in Fiscal Year 2024-2025, any newly constructed, non-exempted multi-family residential units are charged $645.38 per year for the following services: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. This Special Tax appears on the annual Property Tax bill for each unit. The Special Tax authorized by the CFD shall be levied on all units for which building permits were issued on or before May 1 of the preceding fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are ninety-seven (97) multi-family residences in the proposed annexation area, of which 97 are subject to the special tax. The “Special Tax” authorized by the proposed annexation to Community Facilities District 2007- 1 (the “CFD”) will generate an estimate of $62,601.86 annually based on Fiscal Year 2024-2025 special tax rates and will be deposited to Account No. 2740-4800-45800. The Special Tax shall be used to pay for the following services: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. The Special Tax will increase annually by the greater of two percent (2.00%), or the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Staff has determined that the annexation of the does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because such annexation involves the creation of a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are all true and correct.

SECTION 2. Authorization. All prior proceedings taken by this Council with respect to CFD No. 2007-1 and the proposed annexation of territory thereto have been duly considered and

Resolution CC 2025-03 Page 2 of 4
are hereby determined to be valid and in conformity with the Act.

SECTION 3. Boundaries. The description and map of the boundaries of the territory to be annexed to CFD No. 2007-1, on file with the City Clerk, are hereby finally approved, are incorporated herein by reference, and shall be included within the boundaries of CFD No. 2007- 1, and said territory is hereby annexed to CFD No. 2007-1, subject to voter approval of the levy of the special taxes therein as hereinafter provided.

SECTION 4. Services. The services which CFD No. 2007-1 is authorized to finance are in addition to those provided in or required for the territory within CFD No. 2007-1 and the territory to be annexed to CFD No. 2007-1 and will not be replacing services already available.

A general description of the services to be financed is as follows:

PUBLIC SERVICES
New police services, fire protection and suppression services, paramedic services, and park maintenance, including but not limited to (i) the costs of contracting services, (ii) related facilities, equipment, vehicles, ambulances, fire apparatus and supplies, (iii) the salaries and benefits of City staff that directly provide police services, fire protection and suppression services, paramedic services, and park maintenance respectively, and (iv) City overhead costs associated with providing such services within CFD No. 2007-1.

It is the intention of this City Council that, except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for said services to be provided in CFD No. 2007-1 and the territory proposed to be annexed as part of Annexation No. 36, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in Annexation No. 36, will be levied annually within the boundaries of Annexation No. 36 from and after the annexation of such property to CFD No. 2007-1. The special taxes shall be those as originally authorized through the formation of CFD No. 2007-1 and adopted by Ordinance of this legislative body, and no changes or modifications are proposed in the special taxes from those as originally set forth and made applicable to CFD No. 2007-1.

For particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the proposed special tax (the “RMA”), reference is made to the attached and incorporated Exhibit “A,” which sets forth in sufficient detail the method of apportionment to allow each landowner or resident within Annexation No. 36 to clearly estimate the maximum annual amount that said person will have to pay on said special tax.

provided. This Council hereby finds that twelve (12) or more persons have not been registered to vote within Annexation No. 36 for each of the 90 days preceding the close of the hearing heretofore conducted and concluded by this Council for the purposes of these annexation proceedings. Accordingly, and pursuant to Section 53326 of the Act, this Council finds that for purposes of these proceedings the qualified electors are the landowners within Annexation No. 36 and that the vote shall be by said landowners, each having one vote for each acre or portion thereof such landowner owns in Annexation No. 36.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. PH 2
Meeting: January 21, 2025
Title: Consideration of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Budget
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: 1. Open the public hearing and receive public testimony;

2. Close the public hearing;

3. Consider approval of the FY 2025-2026 CDBG program budget as recommended in Column C of the Table on Attachment A with the provision that: a) the allocation be adjusted based on the final allocation as determined by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), with a maximum of 15 percent of funding allocated for public service programs;

4. Adopt Resolution CC 2025-06, authorizing the allocation of the Fifty First Year CDBG funds for FY 2025-2026; and

5. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the documents related to the FY 2025-2026 CDBG funds.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ BACKGROUND:

As a municipality with a population below 50,000 prior to the most recent census count, the City of Covina (City) is ineligible to receive CDBG funding directly from United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Instead, the City receives CDBG funds from LACDA through the Urban County Program.

Under this program, LACDA applies to HUD for CDBG funding, and then divides the funding amongst its subrecipients such as the City of Covina. The City’s CDBG funding is accounted for under the Community Development Department budget.

LACDA requires that the City submits a preliminary budget and spending contract by January 31 of each year.

Specific projects must be approved by LACDA and found to be in compliance with federal regulations. The FY 2025-2026 budget must take into account the scheduled Section 108 loan payment, which will reduce the amount of the FY 2025-2026 funds available for programming.

DISCUSSION:

The LACDA has notified the City that the estimated final allocation of CDBG funds for FY 2025-2026 is $293,058 CDBG funds can only be spent on activities that:
 Benefit low- and moderate-income persons
 Prevent or eliminate slum and blight, or
 Meet community development needs having a particular urgency (must pose a serious and immediate threat to the health of welfare of the community).

Under the CDBG program, public service (non-capital/non-construction) projects are limited to 15 percent of the annual allocation. The public service allocation for FY 2025-2026 will be $43,959, based on the planning allocation amount of $293,058 as shown in the table below.

Table 1. Funding Availability
FY 2025-2026 allocation $293,058
Total available for public service programs ($ 43,959)
Total available for non-public service programs $249,099 Estimated Section 108 payment for FY 25-26 $175,687
Remaining funds available for non-public service
programming $ 73,412
Section 108 Payment
The HUD Public Offering for the Section 108 Loan Program was completed in March 2018, at an interest rate of 3%. Principal and interest payments are now established for the remainder of the 20-year term. In FY 25-26, $175,687 is the amount being set aside to pay the Section 108 loan payment. The amount payable for the Section 108 Loan payment is withheld from the City’s annual CDBG allocation by the LACDA.

Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Funding Applications - Public Service Programs Applications were received for the following public service programs:
 Senior Information and Referral
 Senior Nutrition
 Second Start Literacy
 Operation School Bell
For fiscal year 2025-2026, the public service maximum cap is estimated to be $43,959. Notwithstanding the HUD 15% public service cap, the LACDA requires that each program be funded at a minimum of $10,000. Therefore, public entities using CDBG funds need to be consistent with two sets of regulations by two different funding agencies.

Table 2. Public Service Applications Submitted
Public Service Program City Program Funding Requested

1. Second Start Literacy Program Yes $16,031

2. Senior Information and Referral Program Yes $10,000

3. Senior Nutrition Program Yes $20,000

4. Operation School Bell No $25,000
Total amount requested $71,031
Total amount available $43,959
Three applications received are for City-run programs. One application received is form a non-profit organization.

A matrix of the project descriptions is attached as Attachment B.

The Second Start Literacy Program provides support staff and training for volunteer tutors to teach basic reading and writing skills to adults as well as purchase materials for program participants. The Senior Information and Referral Program provides services, information and referrals for service to seniors. The Senior Nutrition Program provides hot, nutritious meals at low or no cost to seniors. The City partners with the YWCA of San Gabriel Valley for the Senior Nutrition Program. The Operation School Bell, a non-profit organization, provides school clothing and other basic necessities to children from economically disadvantaged families.

A total of $71,031 was requested in public service funding. $43,959 is available for programs. Because of the varying requirements of the granting agencies, the City is limited in the number of programs it can fund. Three existing City public service programs have requested funding to continue their work. There are no additional

general fund dollars to continue funding if CDBG funding is discontinued. While there are many worthwhile programs in the community that are deserving of funding, the recommendation from staff and the Finance Advisory Commission is for continued funding of City public service programs.

Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Funding Applications - Programs other than Public Service After allocations for public service programs and payment and payment of principal and interest on the Section 108 loan, $73,412 is available for budgeting purposes. Program applications totaling $73,412 were received for this category.

Applications were received for the following non-public service programs, which are described in Attachment B:

Program Name Amount Requested
 Residential Rehabilitation $23,412
 Downtown Neighborhood Business Workforce Augmentation Program $50,000 The Finance Advisory Commission, which reviews, evaluates and monitors CDBG programs as part of the City's mandated Citizen Participation, considered all requests at their December 11, 2024, meeting in order to make a recommendation for funding to the Covina City Council. City staff members were also present. The Commission recommendation is shown on Column “C” of Exhibit A and in Table 3 below.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. NB 1
Meeting: January 21, 2025
Title: A Professional Services Agreement with PCAM, LLC dba Parking Company of America for the Operation of a Micro Transit Pilot Program
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with PCAM, LLC dba Parking Company of America for the Operation of a Micro Transit Pilot Program and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Agreement and related documents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On April 2, 2024 the Covina City Council adopted Resolution CC 2024-15 which allowed the City to accept $113,100 in grant funding from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) for the purchase of three (3) GEM e6 electric vehicles. The vehicles were purchased for the purpose of creating a micro transit pilot program to help enhance connectivity and economic development throughout the City’s Town Center Specific Plan area. Since that time, staff has purchased the vehicles using the EECBG grant funds and employed the help of several local businesses to help create a program known as “FRIC & FRAC” (“Free Rides In Covina & Free Rides Around Covina”).

The FRIC & FRAC pilot program will deploy two (2) GEM e6 electric vehicles Thursday through Sunday and operate as a no-cost, fixed-route hop-on/hop-off transportation service in the downtown area, with the goals of filling a transportation gap, alleviating parking and congestion, and providing a unique experience for visitors, adding to the character, scene, and local sense of place to the downtown area.

Similar concepts exist in other local cities, such as Anaheim. Anaheim’s program, called “FRAN” (“Free Rides Around the Neighborhood”), is operated by PCAM, LLC (“PCAM”). PCAM currently operates the Covina’s Dial A Ride program and has worked closely with staff to help design the FRIC & FRAC program. Staff therefore recommends entering into an agreement with PCAM for the operation of the FRIC & FRAC micro transit pilot program for an amount not to exceed $300,000.

If approved, FRIC & FRAC will be operational and in service beginning on Thursday, February 6, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed micro transit program is intended to be both a “first-mile/last-mile” transportation program as well as an economic development/promotional strategy. The FRIC & FRAC fleet consists of two (2) 6-passenger EV carts to be operated concurrently and a third 6-passenger EV cart to be used as needed for riders requiring ADAaccessibility. To test the effectiveness of the program the initial service area will be within the Covina Town Center Specific Plan (“CTCSP”) area, which is generally what is referred to as the City’s downtown. The CTCSP boundaries are shown below in Figure 1.

Figure 1. The defined service area, known as the Covina Town Center Specific Plan.

Program Design:

FRIC & FRAC will operate from Thursday through Sunday during the following hours:

Thursdays & Sundays: 1:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Fridays & Saturdays: 2:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Community Development Department staff have worked closely with the Covina Police Department, Public Works Department, and PCAM to design and select hop-on/hop-off stations and fixed-routing which maximize connectivity, energy efficiency, and safety. The program will have nine (9) stations throughout the CTCSP which passengers can use to catch a ride on FRIC & FRAC, and staff will meet regularly with PCAM to review program metrics related to operating hours and routing, allowing for future adjustments to be made to ensure the program is effective. Much like an airport shuttle or trolley, riders can use any of the hop-on/hop-off stations to wait for a FRIC & FRAC ride to arrive and then be dropped off at their desired station along the fixed-route. The initial stations are shown below in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Initial stations and route for FRIC & FRAC Pilot Program.

The vehicles have the capacity to hold five (5) passengers at a time, and four (4) passengers in the ADA-accessible vehicle. A frame signs throughout the downtown will be posted to help riders determine how close they are to a FRIC & FRAC station, and to designate station stops. To catch a ride, riders should find their closest station stop and wait for the next available vehicle to arrive. Each A frame sign will also have a QR code connecting riders to a website which allows riders to track where the closest vehicle is on the fixed route.

PCAM Scope of Work:

PCAM’s rate is $$61.53 per hour per vehicle, and as the operator of the vehicles and program PCAM will be responsible for the following duties, which are included within the hourly rate and described in greater detail in Attachment A, Exhibit B “Scope of Service”:
 Providing two drivers to operate the vehicles during service hours  Maintaining the electric vehicles and their batteries pursuant to the vehicles’ owner’s manual and as needed, including maintaining the services of a mobile mechanic  Performing vehicle inspections each day prior to use, and thorough vehicle inspections no less than every 45 days
 Installing and maintaining cameras in each vehicle with audio and visual recording to be reviewed if needed and stored by the operator for no less than ten (10) days  Installation and maintenance of GPS tracking for all vehicles, and providing website hosting for live GPS tracking of the vehicles for use by residents
 Maintenance of a real-time communication system and maintenance of a customer service hotline  Providing accessible vehicle access to those requesting the use of an ADA accessible vehicle  Tracking and reporting monthly on metrics related to the effectiveness of the program, including tracking ridership, peak hours, customer satisfaction, and service reliability Research:

Several other cities within the Southern California region have implemented similar programs, and staff has communicated with several of them to discuss best practices. Similar programs have been implemented in Anaheim (FRAN), Long Beach (Go Active LB), San Diego (FRED), and Laguna Beach (Laguna Beach Local).

Additionally, the connectivity of the CTCSP service area has been evaluated extensively through various City studies and grants and is designed to be less reliant on single-occupancy vehicle traffic and to encourage public transportation, biking, and walking. Moreover, the Metrolink train is within the service area and will have a station location for FRIC & FRAC, allowing users to easily take the train to Covina with a direct zero emission connection to downtown via FRIC & FRAC, helping to promote multi-modal transportation and promoting equity for riders of all physical ability levels.

Program Benefits:

FRIC & FRAC rides are designed with a host of local and regional benefits in mind, including:
 Efficient, scalable, and eco-friendly (reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled and Green House Gas emissions)  Promote multi-modal transportation by encouraging other forms of travel within the Covina downtown core
 Stimulate economic development in Covina by promoting the city as a destination using convenient transportation within highly visible and unique vehicles  Establish an identity in the downtown area to help with placemaking  Alleviate parking and congestion issues within the Citrus Avenue corridor  Promote equity by providing free, accessible transit

Local Business Support:

Staff has utilized the services of several local Covina businesses to prepare the vehicles and program for use.

Pinata Design Studio (1580 W San Bernardino Road, Unit J) designed the vehicle wraps and G2 Graphics (978 East Arrow Highway) installed the vehicle wraps. 789 Inc. (101 N. Citrus Avenue, #3C) has assisted the City in filming and producing videos and social media content to promote the program and is designing promotional materials and the content for the A frame signage, while Unique Printing (754 E. Arrow Highway, Unit C) has helped procure the A frame signs. Finally, Signarama Covina (305 E. Rowland Street) installed a roof signage to assist in producing aerial media content.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Operational costs related to this program are budgeted and available in account 2400-4350-53743-FRIC, and have been funded through Proposition A funds and through a lease agreement with Covina Valley Kia for use of City parking facilities. Funding is currently sufficient to cover operating costs for this fiscal year.
