STAFF REPORT
Date: February 20, 2024
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 February 6, 2024, 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 February 6, 2023.
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
02/20/2024 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
The City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of February 6, 2024.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Financial Impact.

The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of January 2024 in the amount of $12,728,593.04.
BACKGROUND
1. In 1955, the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) started. LAIF became part of the PMIA. The oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an inhouse Investment Committee. The PMIB members consist of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.
2. In 1977, LAIF was created as a voluntary program by Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code. The program was intended to be used as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. The LAIF continues today under State Treasurer, Fiona Ma's administration.
3. On January 1, 2024, the balance in LAIF was $12,601,991.50 (See Attachment).
4. In January 2024, $126,601.54 in interest was received for the 4th quarter of 2023.
5. On January 31, 2024, the balance in LAIF was $12,728,593.04 (See Attachment).

ANALYSIS
The voluntary program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third-party custodian.
Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080 indicates, "Except as otherwise provided, no warrant shall be drawn or evidence of indebtedness issued unless there shall be at the time sufficient money in the treasury legally applicable to the payment of the same."
CONCLUSION
Once the City Council approves the current LAIF, this balance may be relied upon when determining if the City has sufficient funds available to pay demands and payroll as required by Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Strategy #2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the city’s finances.

STAFF REPORT
Date: February 20, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
Prepared by: Cecilia Madrigal-Gonzalez, Senior Planner
Subject: Resolution No. 24-03 of the City Council Approving Programs for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding During the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council take the following action(s):
1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-03 approving programs for the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) funding for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
BACKGROUND
The City of Cudahy receives federal CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as administered by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (“LACDA”). The funds must be used to meet national objectives to develop viable communities and to serve low- and moderate-income populations. Use of these funds also requires compliance with statutory requirements including financial, environmental review, procurement, construction, eligibility, reporting, and citizen participation. LACDA has advised Cudahy that for FY 24-25 it should expect to receive approximately $328,872.00 in CDBG funds.
The City will receive official notice of its final funding allocation in Spring 2024.
LACDA requires that all planning and budgeting documents for the FY 24-25 CDBG program year be submitted in February. The submittals include City Council approval of the planning and budget documents, evidenced by a signed resolution and proof of public participation and noticing of a public hearing. City staff will publicly notice the approval of the FY 24-25 CDBG programs and substantial amendment in accordance with CDBG Guidelines.
On February 6, 2024, City staff presented the City Council with an update on the proposed Item Number
13A
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
02/20/2024 Page 2 of 5
projects/programs for FY 24-25 and directed staff to bring the item to conduct the required public hearing for approval.
ANALYSIS
The primary national objectives of the CDBG program are to undertake activities that benefit low and moderate‐income persons and/or eliminate slum and blight conditions. The program requires that a minimum of seventy percent (70%) of the program funds be spent on activities that benefit low and moderate‐income persons (Attachment A ‐ 2023 HUD Income Limits).
Furthermore, the types of activities of eligible and ineligible activities for funding are provided in Table 1 below.
TABLE 1 – ELIGIBLE AND INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES FOR FUNDING Eligible Ineligible
• Land acquisition and disposition; and
• Development of, and improvements to,
public facilities; and
• Street and other infrastructure
improvements; and
• Demolition and clearance of property
improvements; and
• Code Enforcement; and
• Public service activities; and
• Housing and commercial rehabilitation;
and
• Economic development activities; and
• Program administration.
• Construction of city halls, county
administrative buildings, or other
facilities in which the legislative, judicial,
or general administrative affairs of the
government are conducted; and
• Purchase of equipment, unless otherwise
required for program purposes; and
• Operating and maintenance expenses;
and
• General government expenses; and
• Political activities.
The proposed FY 2024-25 CDBG Program budget funding requests $328,872.00. Given projected funding levels, staff recommends the continuation of CDBG funding for the City's Housing Rehabilitation, Code Enforcement, Camp Commerce, and Business Assistance programs.
PROPOSED 2024-2025 FY PROGRAMS
For FY 2024-25, all partner cities are provided with a 15% cap for Public Service projects. In addition, 70% of funds must be used to benefit persons of low- and moderate-income levels.
Furthermore, any CDBG funds that are not used during previous fiscal years are placed in the City’s Unallocated CDBG balance.
The CDBG Projects and Budgets proposed for FY2024-25 Program Year are summarized below.
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
02/20/2024 Page 3 of 5
The proposed budget breakdown is provided in Table 1 below.
ONGOING PROGRAMS:
• Business Assistance Program: This continuing program assists existing/potential new business owners in retaining, expanding, or opening a business in the City of Cudahy.
The program assists business owners with completing applications for permits, business licenses, and provides technical assistance through one‐to‐one consultations/trainings to address the needs of the City's business community. Some topics include but are not limited to business expansion plans, how to market your business, how to obtain a business loan, and how to strengthen your business. These services are provided to the business community by city staff, long‐time business owners, and commercial bank personnel.
• Code Enforcement Program: This continuing program assists in addressing the decline of residential and neighborhood commercial businesses that have been deemed deteriorating or deteriorated. These residential and neighborhood commercial businesses are located in the following designated areas: Census Tracts 5338.06, 5343.01, 5343.02, 5344.03, 5344.04, 5344.05, and 5344.06. The most common violations that will be addressed through this CDBG‐funded activity are: prohibited conditions, unsightliness, and building code violations. • Camp Commerce Program: This continuing program will provide youth services by providing funding for enrollment fees for a summer camp for low-income Cudahy youth.
UPDATED PROGRAMS/PROJECTS:
• Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation: This continuing/updated program offers grants to owner occupied housing units. This program may be used in combination and is designed to assist existing low‐to‐moderate-income households with the repair or rehabilitation of owner‐occupied units. This Program was previously called “Single-Family Rehabilitation Program.” City staff are proposing to update the eligibility requirements of the existing Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Program to allow for owner-occupied multi-family units and mobile homes.

STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT
The proposed CDBG programs for FY2024-25 align with the following Strategic Plan goals:
• Goal A, Strategy #5. Pursue funding opportunities to assist Cudahy residents and small business.
• Goal B, Strategy #3. Pursue grant opportunities as available to help residents with cash assistance or other needs.
• Goal C, Strategy #1. Increase the use of residential rehabilitation programs using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
• Goal C, Strategy #2. Increase home ownership among residents by creating home ownership options and providing educational tools.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the current year, 2023-2024. The CDBG funding allocation estimate of $328,872.00 outlined in this report is for the 2024-25 Fiscal Year and represents a $4,851 decrease from the current fiscal year allocation. Staff recommends that any additional CDBG funds that may be received by the City, shall be allocated to the above-mentioned programs.
PUBLIC NOTICE
The public hearing notice was published in the Long Beach Telegram on January 30, 2024 per CDBG Guidelines which require a 14-day notice (Attachment C).

* The FY 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act changed the definition of extremely low-income to be the greater of 30/50ths (60 percent) of the Section 8 very low-income limit or the poverty guideline as established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), provided that this amount is not greater than the Section 8 50% very low-income limit. Consequently, the extremely low income limits may equal the very low (50%) income limits.
Income Limit areas are based on FY 2023 Fair Market Rent (FMR) areas. For information on FMRs, please see our associated FY 2023 Fair Market Rent documentation system.

COMMUNITY BROADBAND NETWORK
SOUTHEAST LOS ANGELES
Community Broadband
Networks (CBNs) are major
projects to accelerate digital equity by
using public-private partnerships that
will provide reliable, high-quality, lowcost home internet access options in some of the County’s digital divide
areas where more than 20 percent of
the households lack broadband
internet.
Accelerating Digital Equity
Supervisorial District 4
Southeast
Los Angeles
CBN Project Area
• Participating Cities: Cudahy,
Bell, Maywood, Lynwood,
and South Gate
• 17.97 square miles
• 60,998 housing units
• $49,938 median household
income
• 23,114 estimated households
without home internet
Having Access to a reliable, high-speed internet
service provider
◌ Only pre-qualified, experienced, and capable Managed Service Providers (MSP) can compete for the contract to provide CBN service
◌ The MSP must deploy and operate a retail broadband internet service and maintain a direct customer relationship with the subscribers
◌ The “last-mile” technology connecting the households and businesses can be either fixed wireless (radio signals) or wireline (such as fiber or coaxial cabling) if it can reliably deliver at least 100 megabits per second for both upload and download (aka 100/100). This is speed that allows multiple members of a household to use demanding internet services at the same time
◌ The network must be reliable (e.g. 99.5% monthly uptime & less than an average outage time of 48 hours per year per subscriber)
Accelerating Digital Equity
Addressing Affordability is a key goal of the
Community Broadband Networks
◌ There will be a low-cost plan available for qualifying households. The lowcost plan will be targeted at $30/month for service that is at least 100/100 megabits per second (4x faster downloads and 33x faster uploads than the current federal definition of broadband)
◌ No bandwidth caps, no promotional rates, no equipment fees ◌ All residential and small business plans will be fixed until at least 2029 Accelerating Digital Equity
Increasing Adoption of the internet is critical to
ending the digital divide
◌ The CBN provider must conduct multilingual community engagement and marketing campaigns and provide multilingual customer support. ◌ The County and/or the CBN provider will provide digital literacy training and digital assistance
◌ The County plans to provide a free computing device to households without one, subject to a needs assessment and available funding Accelerating Digital Equity
How will CBNs be different?
◌ This is a public-private partnership, not a County-owned and –operated broadband network.
◌ The County and Cities make public assets, such as buildings, rights-of-way, streetlights, utility tunnels, traffic signals, etc., available to the MSP. This reduces the cost of operating the service.
◌ The MSPs propose the financial model to make the CBN service viable and indicate which, if any, public assets they propose to use. ◌ The County will use American Rescue Plan and other funding to support this project for 5 years.
Accelerating Digital Equity
Solicitation Status
◌ June 21, 2023 – County released a Work Order Solicitation for the CBN project in SELA
◌ Two pre-qualified companies submitted proposals by deadline of September 14, 2023
◌ December 2023 – Solicitation Evaluation Committee completed review and determined the highest ranked proposer
◌ Solicitation is currently in the Statement of Work and contract negotiation process
◌ Final execution of the contract is expected in May 2024, with rollout through September 2026
◌ No financial contribution is requested from the participating SELA cities
