STAFF REPORT
Date: July 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of July 5, 2022, for the Regular Meeting of the City Council and the Joint Meeting of the City of Cudahy as Successor Agency and Housing Successor Agency to the Cudahy Development Commission
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to review and approve the City Council / Successor Agency Draft Minutes for July 5, 2022.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Cudahy adopted Resolution No. 16-38, approving the use of summary action minutes, meant to allow the City Clerk's Office to write the minutes in brief, assuring a record of Council's actions, due to having a recording of the full Council Meeting on the City’s website.
Historically
The Municipal Clerk is one of the oldest professions in government, dating back to 1272 A.D., originating in England. The record keeper then was called Remembrancer, an English official whose job was to remind the Lord Treasurer and Barons of Court, of business pending.
Years later, in the 1600s, when early colonists came to America, the office of the Clerk was one of the first offices to be established. Over the years, the City Clerk’s office has become the core for local government, and the liaison to the residents of the Community. The Municipal Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.

Staff Report
07/19/2022 Page 2 of 2
William Bennett Munro, a Canadian historian, and political scientist, who taught at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology, stated in one of his first textbooks written: “No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience.
The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Moving forward to the present time, the City Clerk’s office today is generally responsible for keeping a record of City Council meetings; agreements; recordings of official documents; legal advertisements; municipal elections; commissions and committees current files; claims against the city; and other legal or official documents.
City Clerks are required to keep record of the proceedings (minutes) of Council meetings (Government Code Sections 36814 and 40801). Minutes are the official record of a meeting which provides a history of the Council’s decisions and actions.
CONCLUSION
City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of July 5, 2022.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Financial Impact.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve proposed Resolution No. 22-41 proclaiming a local emergency, ratifying the proclamation of a State of Emergency by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, and re-authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council, City Boards, and all Commissions of the City of Cudahy, for the period from July 19, 2022, through August 18, 2022, pursuant to Ralph M. Brown Act provisions.
BACKGROUND
COVID-19 (also known as the “Coronavirus Disease”) is a respiratory disease that was first reported in China in December 2019, has now spread throughout the state of California, including through the City of Cudahy (“City”). On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the rising cases of COVID-19 throughout the state of California. On the same day as Governor Newsom’s declaration, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (“LACDPH”) declared a local emergency and local public health emergency in response to the spread of COVID-19 throughout the County. On April 10, 2020, in response to the conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons within the City, the Cudahy City Council (“City Council”) declared a local emergency consistent with the declaration of local emergency by the LACDPH.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill No. 361 (“AB 361”), Item Number
14B

which, until January 1, 2024, authorizes a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when a legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared State of Emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
Currently, the state-declared emergency remains in effect. LACDPH has issued a series of Health Officer Orders containing mandates and recommendations for keeping individuals safe, reducing risk, and preventing the spread of COVID-19. The most recent Public Health Order (“Health Order”) by the LACDPH, effective as of April 22, 2022, states that Los Angeles County is currently experiencing increases in COVID-19 cases, positivity rates, and COVID-19 hospitalizations are no longer in decline. The Health Order continues to strongly recommend masks for all persons, regardless of vaccine status, in indoor public settings and businesses.
On June 21, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-36, proclaiming a local emergency, ratifying the proclamation of a State of Emergency by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, and re-authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council, City Boards, and all Commissions of the City, for the period from June 21, 2022, through July 21, 2022.
ANALYSIS
AB 361 requires legislative bodies that hold teleconferenced meetings under its abbreviated teleconferencing procedures to give notice of the meeting and post agendas, as described, to allow members of the public to access the meeting and address the legislative body, to give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internetbased service option, and to conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body. AB 361 also requires the legislative body take no further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments, until public access is restored. AB 361 prohibits the legislative body from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and specifies that the legislative body must provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and offer comments in real time. AB 361 prohibits the legislative body from closing the public comment period and the opportunity to register to provide public comment, until the public comment period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, as specified.

All City Council, Board, and Commission meetings are open and public, as required by the Brown Act, so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City Council or City Commission conduct their business. Given the County of Los Angeles is currently experiencing an increase of COVID-19 cases throughout the County, the City continues to recommend measures to promote social distancing which include requiring staff and civilians wear masks in City buildings as well as posting COVID-19 safety measures throughout City buildings and on the City’s social media accounts.
Once the initial authorizing resolution is adopted, as it was on October 5, 2021, ongoing authorization every thirty (30) days is required by majority vote. If the legislative body desires to continue using the teleconference exception, it must confirm the circumstances of the State of Emergency thirty (30) days after the first teleconference meeting and every thirty (30) days thereafter. Resolution Number 22-36 expires on July 21, 2022, staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution before the existing resolution lapses.
CONCLUSION
In light of the continuing State declaration of emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees at meetings conducted in person due to the spread of COVID-19, staff recommends the City Council approve proposed Resolution No. 22-41 proclaiming a local emergency, ratifying the proclamation of a State of Emergency by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, and re-authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council of the City of Cudahy, for the period from July 19, 2022, through August 18, 2022, pursuant to Ralph M. Brown Act provisions.

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Noel Barajas, Human Resources Manager
Subject: Adoption of a Proposed Resolution No. 22-42 Superseding and Repealing Resolution No. 22-35, and Amending the Adopted Fringe Benefits and Salary Plan Establishing Provisions for All Full-time Employees, and Hourly Employees
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the proposed Resolution No. 22-42, amending the fringe benefits and salary plan establishing provisions for all full-time employees, hourly employees, and appointed officials and repealing Resolution No. 22-35.
BACKGROUND
1. On October 5, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution No. 21-33 updating the consolidated salary schedule for miscellaneous employees.
2. On October 19, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution No. 21-42 updating the consolidated salary schedule for miscellaneous employees.
3. On June 7, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 22-35 updating the consolidated salary schedule for miscellaneous employees.
ANALYSIS
The City Manager has analyzed the organizational structure of the city of Cudahy. Due to job vacancies in recent years, the organizational structure of the city has shifted. The city manager recommends the following changes to help build internal capacity and have a more effective organizational structure.
Creation of new classifications:
Item Number

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report Page 2 of 2
07/19/2022
• Office Clerk (Full-time, CMEA) – A6
• Senior Building Inspector (Full-time, CMEA)– A15
Updating of classifications:
• Administrative Clerk (Part-time) – H10
• Building Inspector (Full-time, CMEA)– A14
CONCLUSION
Approval of the FBSP is consistent with the recommended organizational chart presented by the City Manager. Not updating the current FBSP will result in outdated City Classifications listed on affected compensation schedules, which will be inconsistent with the adopted City Classification Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
All fiscal impact has been accounted for in the Annual City Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Cost saving from contractual services and current vacancies, will help mitigate costs of newly created positions and salary increases.

WHEREAS, the City intends to sell the Property by executing a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with Camerra Capital, Inc., a California corporation (“Purchaser”); and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 54220 et seq. (the “Surplus Land Act”) was amended in 2019 by Assembly Bill 1486 (“AB 1486”); and WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, as amended by AB 1486, does not apply to this Property because pursuant to section 54234(a)(1) of the Surplus Land Act, the Property was subject to a legally binding agreement between the parties, effective as of a date prior to September 30, 2019; and
WHEREAS, under the pre-amended Surplus Land Act, the Property is not considered “surplus” because it is being used for the development of affordable housing and economic development, which falls under the category of “agency use” in the Surplus Land Act; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Sections 37420 through 37430 authorize the City to dispose of property; and

Therefore, pursuant to Government Code section 54234(a)(1), the Property is subject to the Surplus Land Act as it existed prior to AB 1486.

The Developer and the City shall execute such further escrow instructions, consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be reasonably requested by the Escrow Holder. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any other escrow instructions requested by the Escrow Holder, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
2.2 Payment of Purchase Price.
2.2.1 Time of Payment. The Developer shall pay the Purchase Price by depositing the Purchase Price in immediately available funds into the Escrow, at least one (1) business day preceding the Escrow Closing Date.
2.2.2 Earnest Money Deposit. Concurrent with its opening of the Escrow, the Developer shall deposit into Escrow the Ernest Money Deposit. The Escrow Holder shall deposit the Earnest Money Deposit into an interest bearing account. All interest earned on such funds shall be added to the original principal amount of the Earnest Money Deposit and be considered part of the same. The Earnest Money Deposit shall be nonrefundable upon the conclusion of the Due Diligence Period. Upon the Close of Escrow, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be credited to the Developer toward the Purchase Price and paid to the City as part of the Purchase Price.

If any portion of the Property or any interest in any portion of the Property, becomes the subject of any eminent domain proceeding prior to Close of Escrow, other than such a proceeding by the City, including the filing of any notice of intended condemnation or proceedings in the nature of eminent domain commenced by any Governmental Agency, the City shall immediately give the Developer notice of such occurrence, and the Developer shall have the option, exercisable within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice from the City, to either: (1) cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, in which case the Parties and the Escrow Holder shall proceed in accordance with Section 3.10; or (2) continue with this Agreement in accordance with its terms, in which event the City shall assign to the Developer any right of the City to receive any condemnation award attributable to the Property.

Title Notice, if any, the City shall serve City’s Title Notice Response. If the City does not serve City’s Title Notice Response, if necessary, within twenty (20) days following its receipt of Developer’s Title Notice, the City shall be deemed to elect not to remove any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice, if any, from the Preliminary Report. If the City elects in City’s Title Notice Response to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, the City shall cause the removal of each such objectionable matter from the Preliminary Report within sixty (60) days following receipt by the Developer of City’s Title Notice Response or such other period of time that may be agreed to in writing by both the City and the Developer. If the City is unwilling or unable to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, then, within ten (10) days following the Developer’s receipt of City’s Title Notice Response stating that the City is unwilling to remove or cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice or upon the expiration of the above sixty (60) day time period during which the City elected to remove such objectionable matters from the Preliminary Report and was unable to do so, the Developer may either (1) refuse to accept the title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the Parties shall have the right, subject to Section 2.4.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement without liability to either Party or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Escrow Holder, or (2) be deemed to waive its objection to any items set forth in Developer’s Title Notice.
2.4.1 If at any time prior to the Close of Escrow the Title Company issues an updated Preliminary Report containing any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the Property, or the City becomes aware of any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the Property, following the delivery of the Developer’s Title Notice, the City shall provide written notice to the Developer of such matter, together with any updated Preliminary Report related to such matter. The City and the Developer shall have such rights and obligations with respect to such previously undisclosed title matters as they did with respect to any title matters set forth in the original Preliminary Report as set forth in Section 2.4.
2.4.2 Before exercising any right a Party may have under this Section 2.4 to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, such Party shall notify the non-terminating Parties in writing of its election to terminate and shall, upon a non-terminating Party’s request, which must be delivered, if at all, within three (3) days following its receipt of the terminating Party’s notice of election to terminate, meet and confer with the non-terminating Parties for a period of thirty (30) days. During such time, the Parties shall meet as often as reasonably requested by any Party to negotiate, in good faith, methods and means by which the objectionable title matter may be eliminated or mitigated. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement, representation, or warranty by any Party that an acceptable resolution of the objectionable title matter will be achieved, nor shall any Party be obligated to expend any funds or undertake any other action whatsoever with respect to such title matter unless such agreement is reduced to a writing which is approved by all Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Parties have not been able to agree on a mutually acceptable method of resolving such

2.5 Developer Investigations.
2.5.1 The Developer shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to complete all of its Due Diligence Investigations with respect to the entirety of the Property. The Developer shall complete all of its Due Diligence Investigations within the Due Diligence Period and shall conduct all of its Due Diligence Investigations at its sole cost and expense. The Developer shall rely solely and exclusively upon the results of its Due Diligence Investigations of the Property, including, without limitation, investigations regarding geotechnical soil conditions, compliance with applicable laws pertaining to the use of the Property by the Developer and any other matters relevant to the condition or suitability of the Property for the Project, as the Developer may deem necessary or appropriate. City makes no representation or warranty to the Developer relating to the condition of the Property or suitability of the Property for any intended use or development by the Developer. The Developer shall deliver a Due Diligence Investigation Rejection Notice to the City prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period. If the Developer does not timely deliver its Due Diligence Investigation Rejection Notice prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Developer shall be deemed to have accepted the condition of the Property in its current condition. If the condition of the Property is rejected, then either Party shall have the right, subject to Section 2.4.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in its sole discretion, without liability to the other Party or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the other Party and Escrow Holder. The Developer shall accept all conditions of the Property, without any liability of the City whatsoever, upon the Developer’s deemed acceptance of the condition of the Property by its failure to timely deliver its Due Diligence Investigation Rejection Notice. The Developer’s failure to timely deliver its Due Diligence Investigation Rejection Notice shall evidence the acceptance of the condition of the Property by the Developer in its existing “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” and “SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS” condition, as of the last day of the Due Diligence Period. In its sole discretion, the Developer may accept the Property in its “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” and “SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS” condition at any time before the end of the Due Diligence Period. The Developer shall conduct during the Due Diligence Period such environmental assessment(s) of the Property as the Developer deems appropriate. If such assessment(s) do not reveal the presence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property in levels that exceed applicable Governmental Requirements, then the City shall promptly and at its sole cost and expense install security fencing around the Property. If such assessment(s)
55733.00002\40024957.8
18 Error! Unknown document property name.
do reveal the presence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property in levels that exceed applicable Governmental Requirements, then the City and the Developer shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach agreement as to the allocation of responsibility and cost of remediation thereof.
2.5.2 Any Due Diligence Investigations of the Property by the Developer shall not unreasonably disrupt any then existing use or occupancy of the Property or the operations of the City. The Developer shall be liable for any damage or injury to any person or property arising from the acts of the Developer, its employees, agents or representatives during the course of any Due Diligence Investigations on the Property and the Developer shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to the City and hold harmless the City and its elected officials, officers, directors, attorneys, contractors, agents and employees from any and all actual or alleged liens, claims, demands or liability arising from any Due Diligence Investigations by the Developer on the Property other than for discovery of existing conditions on the Property. Prior to commencing any Due Diligence Investigations on the Property, the Developer shall deliver copies of policies or certificates of insurance to the City evidencing compliance by the Developer with the liability insurance requirements of Section 5.3.
2.5.3 Before exercising any right a Party may have under this Section 2.5 to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, such Party shall notify the non-terminating Parties in writing of its election to terminate and shall, upon a non-terminating Party’s request, which must be delivered, if at all, within three (3) days following its receipt of the terminating Party’s notice of election to terminate, meet and confer with the non-terminating Parties for a period of thirty (30) days. During such time, the Parties shall meet as often as reasonably requested by any Party to negotiate, in good faith, methods and means by which the objectionable due diligence matter may be eliminated or mitigated. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement, representation, or warranty by any Party that an acceptable resolution of the objectionable due diligence matter will be achieved, nor shall any Party be obligated to expend any funds or undertake any other action whatsoever with respect to such due diligence matter unless such obligation is reduced to a writing which is approved by all Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Parties have not been able to agree on a mutually acceptable method of resolving the objectionable due diligence matter, or if any proposed agreement is disapproved by the City Council, the Escrow shall be cancelled, this Agreement shall be terminated without liability to any Party, and the Parties shall proceed pursuant to Section 3.10.

Further, Developer shall obtain all Approvals for the Construction of the Project on the Property from each Government, prior to the Project Commencement Date.

Nothing in the approval of this Agreement by the City shall be binding on the City Council, Design Review Committee, or any other commission, committee, board or body of the City regarding any Approvals of the Project required by such bodies regarding Developer’s use or development of the Property. Nothing in this Agreement, nor any action by Developer with reference to this Agreement or any related documents shall be deemed to constitute issuance or waiver of any required City Approval or City Approval regarding the Property, the Project or Developer, or waiver or exercise of any legislative discretion of the City regarding any Application, Approval or other matter relating to Developer’s intended use or development of the Property. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not a statutory development agreement pursuant to Government Code Sections 65864, et seq.
2.6.3 No Commitment to Development. The Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement is intended to commit the Developer to completing a particular project or to commit the City to granting any Approval. The City’s approval of this Agreement does not constitute approval by the City of any development of the Property or of other activity on the Property that would have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect environmental impact pursuant to CEQA. (See 14 C.C.R. §§ 15060(c); 15378(b).) Moreover, Developer’s future use or development of the Property is expressly conditioned on CEQA compliance. City shall conduct environmental review in accordance with CEQA prior to taking any discretionary action with regard to any proposed development of the Property. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the City’s discretion to consider and adopt any mitigation measure or project alternative, including the alternative of rejecting any proposed development of the Property, as provided in Public Resources Code section 21002. Following completion of the City’s environmental review of any proposed development of the Property, the City shall file a notice of such approval as provided in Public Resources Code section 21152. Developer’s purchase of the Property will serve the current needs of the City.
2.6.4 Future Proposals Subject to Review. Developer and the City shall work together to conduct environmental review in accordance with CEQA before City takes action on any plan or entitlement or before the Parties’ Close of Escrow under this Agreement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that any proposed development of the Property might change as a result of various environmental factors. On or before the Close of Escrow, the scope and location of proposed development and the design of the anticipated improvements might change to account for needs of Developer, including changes required by the CEQA process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City retains the absolute sole discretion to (i) modify each transaction, create and enter into transactional documents, and modify each component of the Project as may, in its sole
55733.00002\40024957.8
20 Error! Unknown document property name.
discretion, be necessary to comply with CEQA, (ii) select other feasible alternatives to avoid significant environmental impacts, (iii) balance the benefits of each component against any significant environmental impacts prior to taking final action if such significant impacts cannot otherwise be avoided, and/or (iv) determine not to proceed with the Project in its entirety. No legal obligations will exist unless and until the Parties have negotiated, executed and delivered mutually acceptable agreements based upon information produced from the CEQA environmental review process and on other public review and hearing processes, subject to all applicable Government Approvals.
2.6.5 The City’s zoning, building and land use regulations (whether contained in ordinances, the City’s municipal code, conditions of approval, policies, practice or elsewhere) (collectively, the “City Requirements”), shall be applicable to the use and development of the Project on the Property by the Developer. The Developer acknowledges that all Plans and Specifications and any changes to the Plans and Specifications shall be subject to the City Requirements. No action by the City with reference to this Agreement or any related documents shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any City Requirements regarding the Property, the Project, the Developer, any successor-in-interest of the Developer or any successor-in-interest to the Property. The City Requirements may only be changed or waived by modification or variance approved by the City and consistent with this Agreement. No entitlement, permit or other approval from the City for development of the Project on the Property shall attach to any portion of the Property or otherwise become effective to allow the Developer to develop the Project on the Property until after the Developer owns fee title to that portion of the Property to which such entitlement, permit or other approval pertains. Under no circumstances shall the Developer commence development of any portion of the Project on the Property prior to the Developer owning fee title to the Property.
2.6.6 The approval of the Scope of Development shall not be binding on the City Council or the Planning Commission of the City regarding any approvals of the Project required by such bodies. The Developer obtains no right to develop the Project on the Property or any portion of the Property by virtue of this Agreement, except that following the Close of Escrow, the Developer shall possess the same rights as any other owner of property within the Property that desires to develop its property in a manner consistent with the City’s General Plan. If any revisions of the Scope of Development are required by a Governmental Agency (other than the City) having jurisdiction over the Property or the Project, the Developer shall promptly make any such revisions that are generally consistent with the Scope of Development.
2.6.7 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, following the Close of Escrow, the Developer agrees to accept and comply fully with any and all conditions of approval applicable to all approvals, permits and other governmental actions regarding the development or operation of the Project on the Property, so long as such conditions of approval are consistent with the Scope of Development and this Agreement in all material respects.
