whether or not laborers employed relative to the construction of the Project must be paid the prevailing per diem wage rate for their labor classification, as determined by the State of California, pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq.

4.12.2 The Developer, on behalf of itself, its successors, and assigns, waives and releases the City from any right of action that may be available to it pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781. The Developer acknowledges the protections of Civil Code Section 1542 relative to the waiver and release contained in this Section 4.12, which reads as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS
THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT
THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT, IF
KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY
AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR
OR RELEASED PARTY.”

If the City determines that the Project is not in compliance with this Agreement, the City Manager shall send written notice of each nonconformity to the Developer. Upon issuance of the final certificate of occupancy for the
55733.00002\40024957.8

development of the Project, based on the plans submitted by the Developer to the City, the City shall furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion for the Project.
4.13.2 The Certificate of Completion, upon issuance, shall be evidence of the City’s conclusive determination of satisfactory substantial completion of the entirety of the Project pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4.13.3 The City shall not unreasonably withhold the issuance of a Certificate of Completion. After the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, any person then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Property improved with the Project shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement regarding construction or installation of the Project except that such person shall be bound by any reservations, covenants, conditions, restrictions and other interests recorded against the Property pursuant to this Agreement and the Grant Deed.
4.13.4 If the City fails or refuses to issue a Certificate of Completion following written request from the Developer, the City shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Developer’s written request or within three (3) calendar days after the next regular meeting of the City Council, whichever date occurs later, provide the Developer with a written statement setting forth the reasons for the City’s failure or refusal to issue a Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain the City’s opinion of the action(s) the Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion from the City. If the reason for the Developer’s failure to complete the Project is confined to the immediate unavailability of specific items or materials for construction or landscaping at a price reasonably acceptable to the Developer or other minor building “punch-list” items, the City may issue its Certificate of Completion upon the posting of a bond or irrevocable standby letter of credit by the Developer in a form reasonably acceptable to the City in an amount representing the fair value of the work on the Project remaining to be completed, as reasonably determined by the City. If the City fails to provide such written statement, within the specified time period, the Developer shall be deemed conclusively and without further action of the City to have satisfied the requirements of this Agreement with respect to the Project, as if a Certificate of Completion had been issued by the City pursuant to this Agreement.
4.13.5 A Certificate of Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer to any holder of a mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the Project, or any parts thereof. A Certificate of Completion shall not be deemed to constitute a notice of completion under Section 3093 of the California Civil Code, nor shall it act to terminate the continuing covenants, restrictions or conditions contained in the Grant Deed or any other instruments recorded against the Property pursuant to this Agreement. A Certificate of Completion is not evidence of the compliance of the Project with any City Requirements or any building code, conditions of approval, land use, zoning
55733.00002\40024957.8

or other requirements of the City or any Governmental Agency with jurisdiction over the Property, other than the City.

The City shall not have any obligation under this Agreement until the Developer provides the required policies and/or certificates evidencing the insurance required by this Section 5.4 to the City and the City approves such evidence of insurance.

55733.00002\40024957.8
41 Error! Unknown document property name.
“I am aware of the provisions of section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of the Agreement.”
The Developer shall require each contractor and sub-contractor performing work on the Project to provide workers’ compensation coverage for all of such contractor’s or sub-contractor’s employees, unless the contractor’s or sub-contractor’s employees are covered by workers’ compensation insurance provided by the Developer. If any class of employees engaged in work or services performed in connection with the Project is not covered by Labor Code Section 3700, the Developer shall provide and/or require each contractor or sub-contractor to provide adequate workers’ compensation insurance covering such employees.

Such insurance shall be provided by a business or commercial vehicle policy.
5.4.2.1.3 If the Developer hires a consultant to provide design services, such as architectural or engineering services in connection with the Project, or any portion
55733.00002\40024957.8
42 Error! Unknown document property name.
of the Project, the Developer shall require each such consultant to provide Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) Insurance, for liability arising out of, or in connection with, the performance of such design services, with limits of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000).
5.4.2.1.4 Upon acceptance of the Project or any portion thereof, from each contractor, the Developer shall maintain Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance, excluding earthquake coverage, on the Project on a blanket basis or with an agreed amount clause in amounts not less than 100% of the replacement value of all portions of the Project so accepted.

5.4.2.4 Any insurance coverage required under this Agreement shall not be written on a “claims made” basis. The applicable certificate of insurance must clearly provide that the coverage is on an “occurrence” basis. The requirements of this Section 5.4.2.4 shall survive
55733.00002\40024957.8
43 Error! Unknown document property name.
any expiration or termination of this Agreement and the recordation of the Grant Deed and any Certificate of Completion.
5.4.2.5 Receipt by the City of evidence of insurance that does not comply with the above requirements shall not constitute a waiver of the insurance requirements of this Agreement.
5.4.2.6 Subject to Section 5.4.2.4, all of the insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 shall be maintained by the Developer or its contractors, as required by the terms of this Agreement, until the issuance of the Certificate of Completion and shall not be reduced, modified, or canceled without, at least, thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City.
Also, phrases such as “endeavor to” and “but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company” shall not be included in the cancellation wording of any certificates of insurance or any coverage for the Additional Insureds. The Developer shall immediately obtain replacement coverage for any insurance policy that is terminated, canceled, non-renewed, or whose policy limits are exhausted or upon insolvency of the insurer that issued the policy.
5.4.2.7 All insurance to be obtained and maintained by the Developer under this Section 5.4 shall be issued by a company or companies listed in the then current “Best’s Key Rating Guide” publication with a minimum of an “A:VII” rating and be admitted to conduct business in the State of California by the State of California Department of Insurance.

5.4.2.10 Insurance coverage in the minimum amounts set forth in this Section 5.4 shall not be construed to relieve the Developer of any liability, whether within, outside, or in excess of such coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor shall it preclude the Additional Insureds from taking such other actions as are available to them under any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise at law.
5.4.3 Failure by the Developer to maintain all insurance coverage required by this Section 5.4 in effect shall be an Event of Default by the Developer. The City, at its sole option, may exercise any remedy available to them in connection with such an Event of Default.
Alternatively, the City may, at its sole option, purchase any such required insurance coverage and the City shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Developer for any premiums and associated costs paid by the City for such insurance coverage. Any election by the City to purchase
55733.00002\40024957.8
44 Error! Unknown document property name.
or not to purchase insurance otherwise required to be carried by the Developer shall not relieve the Developer of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverage required by this Agreement.
5.5 Taxing Authority Approval and Surplus Land Act. Developer acknowledges that the Property was formerly owned by the Successor Agency to the Cudahy Redevelopment Agency and that City must obtain approval of the applicable taxing agencies of a compensation agreement described in California Health and Safety Code Section 34180(f) prior to the sale of the Property. City shall use its best efforts to obtain said approval but City’s failure to do so shall not be a Default under this Agreement and shall not result in any liability to Developer. As disclosed in Section 1.2.1.3, City shall have no liability if the transaction cannot proceed or is delayed as a result of action by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
ARTICLE VI.
PROJECT FINANCING
6.1 Project Financing. Developer shall finance the development of the Project in accordance with the Project Budget. Further, City and Developer agree that the financing of the Project shall comply with all of the following:
6.1.1 Construction and Permanent Loan. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Developer shall obtain for the City’s review and approval, which may be withheld or conditioned in City’s reasonable discretion and which shall not be unreasonably delayed, a conditional forward loan commitment for each Construction Loan and the anticipated Permanent Loan.
6.1.2 Other Loans and Grants. To provide gap funds for the development and construction of the Project, Developer may, to the extent necessary and in good faith, apply for and obtain funds from State- and Federal-sponsored sources (together, “Other Loans and Grants”). If a new viable funding source becomes available at a later date, City and Developer agree to modify the list of sources to which Developer must apply. If Developer needs but does not receive any Other Loans and Grants as a result of its applications, the Parties agree to meet and confer in good faith for a period of ninety (90) days to determine if a feasible and mutually acceptable alternate arrangement can be made to finance development and construction of the Project. If no agreement is reached by the Parties within such ninety (90) day period regarding the alternative courses of action described in the preceding sentence, this Agreement may be terminated upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to the other Parties. Any agreement that is reached between the Parties on an alternative financing plan for the Project shall be memorialized in an implementation agreement to this Agreement. If Developer fails to make the required applications for Other Loans and Grants, then the City or the Developer may terminate this Agreement upon
55733.00002\40024957.8
45 Error! Unknown document property name.
fifteen (15) days’ written notice to the other Parties. Failure of Developer to obtain Other Loans and Grants shall not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of this Agreement, unless due to the intentional misconduct of Developer.
6.2 Project Budget. Prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Developer shall obtain City Manager approval of the Project Budget. While the Project Budget has been prepared based on the best, good faith estimate of Developer of the costs which are likely to be incurred for the Project, the Parties recognize that events and circumstances not currently contemplated, some of which are outside of the control of the Parties, could result in changes in the Project Costs, necessitating changes in the Project Budget. To the extent that Developer makes changes to the Project Budget, Developer shall immediately submit a revised Project Budget to the City Manager for review and approval, which review and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, as to the sufficiency of the financing secured by Developer to meet the revised Project Costs.
6.3 Only Permitted Exceptions. Developer shall not record and shall not allow to be recorded against the Property any Security Instrument, lien or other encumbrance that is not a Permitted Exception. Developer shall remove or cause to be removed (or providing title insurance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the City and issued by a title insurance company reasonably acceptable to the City, insuring the priority of this Agreement as superior to such lien, with such title insurance being in the minimum amount of 125% of the amount of the lien claim or providing a statutory bond resulting in removal of such lien) any non-Permitted Exception made or recorded against the Property or shall assure the complete satisfaction of any such non-Permitted Exception to the satisfaction of the City, in the City’s sole and absolute discretion. The covenants of Developer set forth in this Section regarding the placement of encumbrances on the Property shall run with the land of the Property and bind successive owners of the Property, until recordation (or deemed issuance) of the Certificate of Completion for the Project.
6.4 City Right to Discharge Prohibited Encumbrances. After sixty (60) calendar days’ Notice to Developer of a non-Permitted Exception and provided that Developer has not caused such non-Permitted Exception to be removed pursuant to Section 6.3, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy or remove any non-Permitted Exception against the Property or the Project and receive reimbursement from Developer for any amounts paid or incurred in satisfying or removing any such non-Permitted Exception, upon demand. Any amount expended by the City to discharge a non-Permitted Exception that is not reimbursed to the City by Developer within thirty (30) calendar days following written demand for payment from the City shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of eight percent (8%) per annum or the maximum highest rate of interest allowed by law under the circumstances, until paid in full.
Nothing in this Section 6.4, though, shall require Developer to pay or make provisions for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge that Developer is in the process of contesting the
55733.00002\40024957.8
46 Error! Unknown document property name.
validity or amount thereof, in good faith, and so long as such contest shall not subject all or any portion of the Property to forfeiture or sale.
6.5 Rights of Lender and City Regarding Permitted Security Instruments.
6.5.1 Notice of Liens. The Developer shall promptly notify the City of any Security Instrument or lien asserted against or attached to all or any portion of the Project or the Property, other than as listed in Section 3.7, prior to the date of issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, whether by voluntary act of Developer or otherwise; provided, however, that no notice of filing of preliminary notices or mechanic’s liens need be given by Developer to the City, prior to suit being filed to foreclose any such mechanic’s lien.
6.5.2 Notice of Default to Lenders. Whenever the City delivers any notice of default to Developer under this Agreement, the City shall send a copy of such notice of default to each Lender holding a Permitted Security Instrument of which the City has received notice and a contact address for transmittal of such notices. Each Lender receiving a copy of any such notice of default shall have the right, at its option, to commence the cure or remedy of any default of Developer set forth in such notice and to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure or remedy such default, within the cure period allowed to Developer under this Agreement. The City shall accept such performance by a Lender with the same force and effect as if furnished by Developer. If such default can only be remedied or cured by the Lender upon obtaining possession of the Property, the City shall allow the Lender an opportunity to obtain possession with diligence and continuity through exercise of remedies under such Lender’s Permitted Security Instrument and to remedy or cure such default within ninety (90) days after obtaining possession of the Property. If the default reasonably requires more than ninety (90) days to cure, however, then the time available to a Lender to cure pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be the reasonable time required to complete such cure, as long as the Lender has commenced the cure of the default within such ninety (90) day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion. During such extension of time, the City shall not terminate this Agreement or exercise other remedies under this Agreement by reason of such default. All Developer specific defaults shall be deemed cured upon Transfer of Developer’s interest in the entire Property to the Lender, its assignee or nominee, pursuant to exercise of remedies under a Permitted Security Instrument. In addition, any Lender properly completing the Project with the consent of the City shall be entitled, upon written request made to the City, to a Certificate of Completion from the City. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit, authorize or require any Lender to undertake or continue the construction or installation of any portion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect improvements or construction already made) prior to or after acquiring title to or possession of the entire Property, without expressly assuming Developer’s obligations under this Agreement by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the City, in which the Lender agrees to complete the Project in the manner provided in this Agreement. Any Lender desiring to complete the Project must provide the City with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City that the Lender has the
55733.00002\40024957.8
47 Error! Unknown document property name.
qualifications (or will engage one or more licensed contractor(s) or consultant(s) with such qualifications) and financial capability necessary to perform such obligations.
6.5.3 No Termination of Permitted Security Instruments by Default. An Event of Default by Developer under this Agreement shall not defeat or render invalid the lien of any Permitted Security Instrument made in good faith and for value as to all or any part of the Property, whether or not the Lender is subordinated to this Agreement; but unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Subordination Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding and effective against any owner of the Property, whose title thereto is acquired pursuant to exercise of remedies under a Permitted Security Instrument or from a person or entity exercising any such remedies.
6.5.4 Lender Rights on Termination or Modification. No termination of this Agreement shall be binding upon a Lender unless the termination occurs after notice to such Lender and such Lender’s failure to cure all then existing defaults under this Agreement (except any Developer specific defaults), pursuant to this Section 6.5, or with such Lender’s prior written consent. No modification of this Agreement that materially affects the rights of a Lender shall be binding upon the Lender without its prior written consent.
6.5.5 No Construction Obligation of Lender. A Lender shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to construct or complete the development of the Project or to guarantee such construction or completion, but may do so pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.5. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit, or authorize any Lender to devote all or any portion of the Property to any uses, or to construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses or the Project provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
6.5.6 City Right to Cure Obligations. In the event of a default by Developer under any Permitted Security Instrument, prior to the date of issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, where the Lender has not exercised its option to complete the Project under Section 6.5.2, the City may cure the default of Developer under the applicable Permitted Security Instrument, but is under no obligation to do so, prior to completion of any sale or foreclosure of all or any portion of the Property under the applicable Permitted Security Instrument. The City shall be entitled to reimbursement from Developer of all costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the City in curing any default of Developer under any Permitted Security Instrument, under demand. Any amount expended by the City to cure a default of Developer under any Permitted Security Instrument that is not reimbursed to the City, by Developer within thirty (30) calendar days after notice of such amount to Developer, shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of eight percent (8%) per annum or the maximum highest rate of interest allowed by law under the circumstances until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of
55733.00002\40024957.8
48 Error! Unknown document property name.
any conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.5.6 and any Subordination Agreement, the Subordination Agreement shall control.
6.5.7 Foreclosure of Permitted Security Instrument. Foreclosure of any Permitted Security Instrument, whether by judicial proceedings or by power of sale, or any conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall not require the consent of the City.
ARTICLE VII.
DEFAULTS, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION

7.1.1 Subject to any extensions of time provided for in this Agreement, failure or delay by any Party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement; provided, however, that if a Party otherwise in default commences to cure, correct or remedy such default, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of written notice from the injured Party specifying such default, and shall diligently and continuously prosecute such cure, correction or remedy to completion (and where any time limits for the completion of such cure, correction or remedy are specifically set forth in this Agreement, then within said time limits), such Party shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement and no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred.

Delays by any Party in asserting any of its rights and/or remedies shall not deprive that Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings that it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
7.1.4 In addition to other acts or omissions of the Developer that may legally or equitably constitute a default or breach of this Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following specific events, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement and shall not be subject to the notice and cure provisions of Section 7.1.1:

ARTICLE VIII.
GENERAL PROVISIONS.
8.1 Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals of fact set forth preceding this Agreement are true and correct and are incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety by this reference.
8.2 Restrictions on Transfers.
8.2.1 The Developer acknowledges that the qualifications and identity of the Developer are of particular importance to the City. The Developer further recognizes and acknowledges that the City has relied and is relying on the specific qualifications and identity of the Developer in entering into this Agreement with the Developer and, as a consequence, Transfers are permitted only as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Developer shall promptly notify the City in writing of any and all changes whatsoever in the identity of the business entities or individuals either comprising or in Control of the Developer, as well as any and all changes in the interest or the degree of Control of the Developer by any such person, of which information the Developer or any of its partners, members or officers are notified or may otherwise have knowledge or information.
8.2.2 Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the Developer represents to the City that it has not made and agrees that it will not make or create, or suffer to be made or created, any Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer, either voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, until after the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the Project subject to the Transfer; provided, however, that the City may approve in its reasonable discretion, Transfers other than Permitted Transfers prior to the recordation of a Certificate of Completion. In deciding whether to approve or disapprove any proposed Transfer, the City may consider the proposed transferee’s financial strength and the experience of the proposed transferee and its senior management in undertaking and successfully completing projects of a similar type and size as the Project or that portion of the Project proposed to be transferred. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section 8.2 shall be voidable at the election of the City and this Agreement may be terminated by the City or the City may exercise any other remedy available to the City under the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that (i) the City shall first notify the Developer in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement or to exercise any other remedy, and (ii) the Developer shall have twenty (20) calendar days following its receipt of such written
55733.00002\40024957.8
53 Error! Unknown document property name.
notice to commence and, thereafter, diligently and continuously proceed to cure the default of the Developer and submit evidence of the initiation and satisfactory completion of such cure to the City, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the City.
8.2.3 The Developer shall provide the City no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any proposed Permitted Transfer which the Developer desires to enter into prior to the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the Project subject to the Transfer, other than a Permitted Transfer for which no notice shall be required. The Developer shall have the burden of demonstrating to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that the proposed Permitted Transfer meets the conditions and requirements of this Agreement with respect to Permitted Transfers.
8.2.4 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the restrictions and prohibitions on Transfers contained in this Section 8.2 shall terminate upon issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project.
8.3 Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties.
8.3.1 Any and all notices, demands or communications submitted by any Party to another Party pursuant to or as required by this Agreement shall be proper, if in writing and dispatched by messenger for immediate personal delivery, by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified United States Mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the principal office of the City or the Developer, as applicable, as designated in Section 8.3.2.

Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members
Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
By: City Attorney’s Office
Subject: Adoption of Proposed Resolution No. 22-44 In Support of Senate Bill 1245
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to adopt proposed Resolution No. 22-44 supporting Senate Bill 1245.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 1972, the people of California amended Article I §1 of the California Constitution to make the right of privacy inalienable. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) acknowledged in its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade that the ability to make a private medical decision impacting one’s own reproductive health is a constitutionally protected right. SCOTUS established a precedent in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade (1973), later affirmed in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) and Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt (2016), guaranteeing the constitutional right to legal pre-viability abortion in the US. Prior to 1973, women faced significant obstacles to safe reproductive health services, resulting in widespread loss of life and serious illness.
The legalization of abortion in the United States led to safer practices and drastically reduced the incidences of material deaths and hospitalizations related to abortion. Roe v. Wade recognized women’s freedom of reproductive choice as essential to the lives, rights, health, and equality of women. In 2002, California enacted the Reproductive Privacy Act, which prevents the State from interfering with the right to choose between carrying a pregnancy to term. In 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom issued the California Proclamation on Reproductive Freedom to educate Californians on their reproductive rights under the state constitution and laws and affirm California’s commitment to reproductive freedom.

Staff Report
07/19/2022 Page 2 of 3
In August 2021 the United States Supreme Court failed to uphold the precedent set in Roe v.
Wade and allowed Texas to enact Senate Bill 8 which operates to restrict women’s reproductive rights. According to a report released by the Guttmacher institute, the number of out-of-state patients who would find their nearest abortion provider in California went from 46,000 to 1.4 million, an increase of nearly 3,000% after passage of Senate Bill 8 in Texas.
The United States Supreme Court developed a draft majority opinion in support of Texas’s law that was leaked to the public in May 2022 which spelled out an explicit intent to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which would allow states to ban abortion at any point in pregnancy and the possibility of complete bans on abortion. By its majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson of Justice Samuel Alito joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022, revoked the constitutional right to an abortion, reversing 50 years of legal precedent.
The right to safe, legal, and accessible abortion continues to be undermined by other states that have signaled they are going to enact similar laws threatening the health and safety of women’s lives, including the most marginalized women and women of color. Sexual and reproductive rights, including safe and legal abortions, constitute a fundamental right, and the criminalization, delay and denial of access to safe and legal abortion care constitutes a form of violence against those who would seek contraceptive and reproductive care. Prohibitions on the right to freely exercise reproductive freedoms are harmful to public health and safety and are contrary to the values of the people of Cudahy. Logistical barriers including, for example, travel costs and distance to clinics, lodging needs and costs, limited access to translation services, lost wages, and lack of paid time off for health care appointments can all delay or prohibit abortion care.
Los Angeles County, home to 28% of the state’s population, accounts for over a third of all abortions that take place in California. Senate Bill 1245 (“SB 1245”) would fund and support a pilot program approach to care that is responsive to the impending needs of people seeking abortion care. Key funding areas for the pilot program proposed under SB 1245 include:
services that prioritize efforts to advance and improve health outcomes, comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, streamlined and secure infrastructure to coordinate care and other patient support services, patient access tools to empower patients to overcome barriers to care, medically accurate education and training tools specific to community needs within the county, and patient and community outreach to assess services in Los Angeles County.

The City Council is requested to adopt Ordinance No. 724 by first reading, amending Section

2. On June 31, 2015, the City Council approved an extension of the Program for an additional year and has done so for each subsequent year thereafter.
3. On January 22, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 671, amending Section

ANALYSIS
The council is listening to concerns from the community and seeks to amend its restricted overnight parking hours. Municipal Code Section 10.04.040 currently prohibits parking between the hours of 10 p.m.- 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 12:00 a.m. through 6:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday. The proposed Ordinance would amend Municipal Code Section
10.04.040 to prohibit parking between 12 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. every day. This restriction would not apply to vehicles that display an authorized overnight parking permit.
Furthermore, all other parking changes made on the Ordinance on May 3, 2022, will withstand.
Parking on Atlantic Ave will not be allowed at any time between Florence Avenue and Salt Lake Avenue.
Vehicles that exceed 6,000 pounds in gross unladen weight, except a vehicle which is subject to the provisions of Section 1031 through 1036 of the California Public Utilities Code, continue being prohibited from being parked or idle on the following streets:
(a) Cecelia Street from Atlantic Avenue to Wilcox Avenue; (b) Patata Street from Salt Lake Avenue to Wilcox Avenue; (c) Ardine Street from Salt Lake Avenue to Atlantic Avenue; (d) Wilcox Avenue from Cecelia Street to Patata Street; and (e) Salt Lake Ave from Olive Street to Patata Street
Upon approval of this Ordinance, City staff will arrange for conforming street signage to reflect such adjustments to restricted overnight parking hours.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The adoption of the proposed Ordinance will have a financial impact on the current budget for fiscal year 2022-2023.
Signage – ($15,000)
Personnel Cost for signage – ($5,415)
Mailer- ($5000)
Total Costs ($25,415)
Any changes to parking signs would divert staff from other scheduled assignments and projects and could possibly delay. The personnel costs do not include any necessary overtime.
