Willdan was retained to develop a 7-acre park site that was considered a “brownfield” by the EPA. Portions of the site tested positive for contaminants and were thus declared a Superfund site. This site was occupied previously by a railroad track spur, a metal plating company, a battery manufacturer, and residential properties. A thorough remediation program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency has allowed the reclamation of the land for public use. Willdan assisted in securing various grant funding along with working closely with the EPA in developing and ensuring mandated mitigation measures were met for site reclamation. Over ten governing agencies were involved in developing/overseeing this park site.

The park consists of 7.3 acres adjacent and overlooking the Los Angeles River. Development of the park includes street vacation, extensive network of monitoring wells relocation and adjustments, parking lot, restroom facilities, retaining walls, large gathering spaces, landscaping, sidewalks, bicycle paths, a staging/resting area for those using the Los Angeles river trail, a bridge, walking trails, lawn and picnic areas, a basketball court, a passive playfield, a California native demonstration gardens reflecting the river’s natural plant community habitat, the incorporation of a swale to add to a natural habitat setting and aid in the control of runoff, community art sculptures and plenty of shade trees to sit under. Field and security lighting is provided for evening use of the park. Willdan prepared plans, specifications, and estimates for Riverfront Park with funds made available through Trust for Public Land, Coastal Conservancy, and various park bond measures.

By meeting all the strict mitigations imposed on the site, Willdan successfully completed the construction of the park site which integrated character and personality to the local community along the LA River Corridor.

Victor Maria Santiago
Parks and Recreation Manager
City of Cudahy
5220 Santa Ana Street
Subject: Fee Proposal for Additional Design Services for Cudahy Park Renovation Project - Design Phase Engineering Services for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimate
Amendment No. 3
Part A - Additional Soils Analysis Testing
Part B - New Park Electrical Systems Power Supply Upgrades Dear Mr. Santiago,
This proposal supplements our professional services agreement dated December 6, 2022, for the preparation of PS&E for the Cudahy Park Renovation Project.

Please find below our project description and understanding, scope of work and fee for the above-mentioned subject titles.

PART A - ADDITIONAL SOILS ANALYSIS TESTING
Project Description and Understanding
During a geotechnical investigation completed as part of the renovation project, three (3) geotechnical borings (B-1, B-2, and P-1) were performed at locations across the park renovation areas. Borings B-1 and B-2 were performed to depths of 20-feet, while boring P-1 was performed to a depth of 5-feet.

Converse, our environmental consultant, has reviewed the analytical results of the composite soil samples collected from the soil cuttings generated during the geotechnical investigation.

The data indicates that the reported concentration of total lead in waste profile sample No. 2 (associated with boring B-2, located near the baseball fields) exceed screening levels for residential and commercial uses, and therefore should be removed from this park site where park users could be exposed to this material. The soluble levels of lead in this sample would result in the soil from that location to be classified as non-RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) California Hazardous Waste for handling and disposal purposes.

The results for the other samples analyzed indicate that soils from those areas are less than screening level concentrations and therefore be acceptable for reuse onsite. As the analytical data is limited, the extents of lead-impacted soil in the vicinity of boring B-2, from which soil sample No.2 was collected, are unclear. Converse has concluded that continuation of work in the vicinity of boring B-2 was not recommended due to the potential for the spread of leadimpacted soils to other non-impacted portions of the project area, as well as potential health and safety issues for both onsite workers and adjoining offsite residential and park users. Converse is recommending additional assessment in the form of step-out sampling in the vicinity of boring

B-2 to assist in determining both lateral and vertical extents of lead-impacted soil. During the March 28, 2024 meeting between the City and project team, additional screening of the baseball fields was also requested in association with evaluating the extents of potential lead-impacted soils.

Scope of Work
The reports will be prepared for review and comment, followed by modifications and submittal to the City. Willdan anticipates one draft submittal of each document and one final version of each document.

Task 1: Consulting Services
a) Review soil analytical data and prepare summary letter of findings and recommendations. b) Discuss with City staff findings and recommendations.

Task 2: Additional Assessment - Soil Sampling
a) Prior to the field activities, Converse will prepare a technical memorandum work plan outlining the proposed sampling procedures and locations and prepare a revised site-specific health and safety plan. The work plan will be submitted to City staff for review and approval. b) Converse will obtain soil-boring permits from the County of Los Angeles Environmental Health Division.
c) Proposed field activities include the advancement of up to eight (8) borings. Seven (7) borings are proposed to be advanced to maximum depths of 8-feet beneath ground surface (bgs). One (1) boring, in the vicinity of geotechnical boring B-2, is proposed to be advanced to a depth of 20-feet bgs. Soil borings are to be advanced using direct-push drilling methods.

Soil samples are proposed to be collected from each bore at depths of 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8-feet bgs, with additional samples collected from the deeper 20-foot bore at depths of 12, 16, and 20-feet bgs.
d) Initially, soil samples from depths of 1 and 2-feet bgs (16 samples) from each of the eight (8) borings will be analyzed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Test Method 6010 for Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) lead. Remaining samples will be archived pending the results of the initial samples analyses. However, for budgeting purposes it is assumed that up to twenty-four of the archived samples will be analyzed for a total of up to forty samples analyzed.
e) A summary report will be prepared following completion of field activities and receipt of analytical results. Included in the report will be a summary of the fieldwork and methodologies, as well as a discussion and summary of the analytical results. Converse will also present our conclusions and recommendations, if any. Copies of summary tables of sample analytical results, and laboratory analytical reports with chain of custody documentation will be provided in the report. A California Professional Geologist (PG) will sign the report.

Schedule and Deliverables

One PDF electronic copy of the draft soil sampling report will be submitted to the City within 3 weeks after the field work is completed. After review comments are reviewed and addressed, one electronic copy of the final report will be submitted to the City within 2 weeks.

Additional Information
The boring locations and actual samples to be analyzed may differ than what is stated in the scope of work depending on field conditions. If conditions are encountered that are significantly different than those anticipated, services not specifically proposed herein may be required to achieve the objective of this assessment. Converse will not proceed with these unanticipated services without receipt of a written authorization and agreement to the additional services. If the scheduled scope of work cannot be performed due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, Willdan will stop the work and consult with the City to assess the situation and discuss the next course of action in moving forward with the intended scope of work herein.

Furthermore, the soil bores will be backfilled with hydrated bentonite chips. As a result, the surface may settle or bulge over time. We recommend the City monitor the boring sites and address any mounding or settlement depressions that might occur to prevent trip and fall injuries from occurring near the backfilled boring locations.

PART B - NEW PARK ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS POWER SUPPLY UPGRADES Project Description and Understanding
During the site visit with our subconsultant, the electrical engineer observed certain elements of the current electrical system and has determined that a full power supply service, separate from the existing electrical system, would need to be put in place.

At the start of the electrical and lighting design there were expectations that the existing site electrical system could handle the new electrical improvements. However, after our site investigation that is not the case. We became aware that the power for the existing park was supplied from the existing City Hall’s main switchboard and were determined that we cannot use this power feed connection.

As a result of our investigation, the entire park renovations (pertaining to electrical demands) including the baseball field lighting, basketball, tennis, skateboard, pedestrian, and splash pad must be applied to a new electrical service feed with SCE. And as determined, to properly illuminate the two baseball fields, will require large electrical loads thus requires the new electrical service feed to be larger in size- therefore cannot be connected to the existing metered pedestal meter (which could not handle by only upgrading the existing meter pedestal). This design work requires additional effort in engineering work with the electrical purveyor Southern California Edison (SCE).

Scope of Work
a) Provide new electrical service power feed for the park which includes the baseball field, storage building, stage/amphitheater and power provision for the splash pad and water feature at Bedwell Hall. All the electrical distribution systems will be from the new main switchboard service.
b) Coordinate the new electrical service with SCE engineer and provide one site meeting with SCE.

c) Provide baseball fields new sport lighting circuits, and coordinate the lighting specification, lighting control and installation with MUSCO lighting company. d) Provide panel schedule, single line diagram and load calculations of new power service. e) Provide construction administration support for the related services noted above.

Schedule and Deliverables
Our services for the additional electrical work will continue as part of the overall preparation of the construction document package. The field investigation with a SCE representative is scheduled for the second week in June.

Its renowned reputation and robust partnerships position it as a premier catalyst for positive change in communities.

The YMCA continues to fulfill its commitment to helping people and communities learn, grow, and thrive, engaging with more neighborhoods across the U.S. than any other non-profit organization of its kind. Its contributions range from influencing the nation's culture during times of social change to providing individual support, such as adult literacy programs. By nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the nation's health and well-being, and supporting and serving community neighbors, the YMCA ensures that everyone has the opportunity to become healthier, more confident, connected, and secure.

The YMCA emphasizes values such as focus and accountability to bring about meaningful change in individuals and communities. The YMCA measures success by how well it engages communities in three areas of focus:
• Youth Development - Nurturing the potential of every child and teen. • Healthy Living - Improving the nation's health and well-being • Social Responsibility - Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.

The Y is an organization that focuses on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. It believes that a strong community can be achieved when everyone invests in its children, health, and neighbors.

The partnership with the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA, established in 2017, has enabled the Parks and Recreation Department to collaborate extensively with various agencies. This partnership has proven invaluable and would not have been possible without the YMCA's involvement.

Continuing this partnership will allow us to leverage the unique strengths of each organization and meet the diverse health, recreational, and social needs of our residents.

YMCA PROPOSAL FOR CUDAHY
The YMCA will focus on offering recreation classes and family activities as part of this proposal.

According to the city's strategic plan, the city is enhancing its in-house services, and achieving the goal of hiring a full-time sports coordinator was crucial for the department. This goal was accomplished in 2022.

The city will rely on the YMCA to provide numerous recreational classes for all age groups. The instructors will be carefully selected through the YMCA's rigorous hiring procedures, and all classes and activities will be held in Cudahy's city parks. The city will not hold any classes at the Maywood YMCA. However, city residents can access the Y's swimming pool for free during open pool days. Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department will set and collect class fees.

Finally, classes will follow a traditional schedule (i.e., Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring). The city will request classes and adjust quarterly based on community participation. Below are the available recreational classes offered by The Y which include but are not limited to:
• Karate
• Youth Hip Hop Dance
• Youth Jazz Dance
• Youth Folklorico
• Adult Fitness Classes (Zumba / Bootcamp)
• Youth & Government
• Arts & Crafts
• STEAM Projects
• After School Tutoring
• Swimming Lessons
• ESL / Citizenship Classes
• Older Adult (Strech/Dance)
• Youth Basketball / Baseball / Soccer / Ball Hockey

Within ten (10) business days of CITY’s issuance of a Default Notice for any failure of CONSULTANT to timely provide CITY or CITY’s employees or agents with any information and/or written reports, documentation, or work product which CONSULTANT is obligated to provide to CITY or CITY’s employees or agents under this Agreement.

Prior to the expiration of the 10-day cure period, CONSULTANT may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONSULTANT has commenced efforts to cure the

In addition to any other failure on the part of CONSULTANT to perform any duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement (or the failure to timely perform or properly perform any such duty, obligation, service or task), an Event of Default on the part of CONSULTANT will include, but will not be limited to the following: (i) CONSULTANT’s refusal or failure to perform any of the services or tasks called for under the Scope of Services; (ii) CONSULTANT’s failure to fulfill or perform its obligations under this Agreement within the specified time or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time; (iii) CONSULTANT’s and/or its employees’ disregard or violation of any federal, state, local law, rule, procedure or regulation; (iv) the initiation of proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, or similar legislation as relates to CONSULTANT, whether voluntary of involuntary; and/or (v) CITY’s discovery that a statement representation or warranty by CONSULTANT relating to this Agreement is false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect.

C. CITY will cure any Event of Default asserted by CONSULTANT within fortyfive (45) calendar days of CONSULTANT’s issuance of a Default Notice unless the Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 45-day cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 45-day cure period, CITY may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CITY has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 45-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, an Event of Default dealing with CITY’s failure to timely pay any undisputed sums to CONSULTANT as provided under Section 1.5, above, will be cured by CITY within five (5) calendar days from the date of CONSULTANT’s Default Notice to CITY.

CONSULTANT’s cure of any Event of Default by giving CONSULTANT written notice of CITY’s intent to suspend CONSULTANT’s performance

13 (hereinafter, a “Suspension Notice”). CITY may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon such suspension, CONSULTANT will be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONSULTANT to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY will operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY’s ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach.

No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

F. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder will be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights, and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.

ANALYSIS
The City of Cudahy’s parks are an integral part of the community. They are an essential source of green space and host a range of recreation and gathering opportunities for residents of all ages. However, the existing amount of park space in Cudahy is less than it should be.

Results of the 2019 Los Angeles County Park Needs Assessment, a comprehensive countywide assessment of the park, infrastructure, and recreational needs and opportunities in cities and unincorporated areas of the county show that with a total of 19.8 park acres and a population of 24,164 people, Cudahy has 0.8 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. This is significantly less than the average county ratio of 3.3 to 1,000. The assessment categorized Cudahy as having a “Very High” park need. Study areas in this category have the most severe parkland deficits.

The City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory identified opportunity sites for potential new parkland. It prepared and implemented a community engagement plan to collect feedback on new park needs and designs. The plan included conceptual plans illustrating potential new park sites that reflect community needs.

What is a Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory?
The Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory was funded by the City of Cudahy’s 2022 Technical Assistance Program (TAP) allocation from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD).

The components of the project are:

1. An inventory of vacant and underutilized lots and opportunity sites for potential new parkland

2. The preparation and implementation of a community engagement plan to collect f Feedback on new park needs and designs

3. Conceptual plans to illustrate potential new park sites that reflect community needs An interactive online map was created to understand existing conditions, centralize all parcel information, and visualize environmental justice data. Four lots and a publicly accessible road were identified for potential park use, and a public park was identified for potential temporary recreation.

Park Opportunity Sites
Conceptual designs were prepared for four priority sites, which were evaluated and selected based on several criteria, including vacancy and ownership status, lot size, location on a major street, proximity to transit stops, and feedback from the project Advisory Group.

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"

• Site #1 – Elizabeth Street (1 acre)
• Site #2 – Park Avenue (0.1 acres)
• Site #3 – Cecilia Street (0.1 acres)
• Site #4 – River Road, temporary recreation (1.3 acres) and staging area (0.1 acres) Vacant Lots with Know Plans
In alignment with the recently published 2023 Economic Development Strategic Plan, parcels identified in the inventory as “vacant with known plans” are feasible sites for community gathering opportunities. A key recommendation of the Economic Development Strategic Plan is to create a better-defined community brand and identity for the city. This includes “establishing placemaking guidelines for future redevelopment on Atlantic Avenue to improve walkability and opportunities for community gathering.” (I-11). While the Economic Strategic Development Plan uses SteelCraft Bellflower Brewery as a case study, the City could also create and prioritize privately owned public and open spaces that are not commercialized.

The Strategic Plan’s Quality of Life Initiative suggests integrating community quality of life goals into developer outreach materials. City residents and businesses expressed their vision for amenities that will make Cudahy a great place to live: new locations for sociability, Latino heritage plazas and squares, family entertainment, outdoor markets, clean and safe parks and recreation facilities, community gardening, native plant/biofilter landscaping, and more.

Demand in Cudahy for multifamily residential and family entertainment uses continues to grow, especially along the Atlantic Avenue corridor, designated a priority redevelopment area.

New public parks and community gathering spaces could enhance this growth.

Community Engagement
The project Advisory Group, which consisted of two community-based organizations (Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) and the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT) with previous experience in the City, provided insights into past parks-related engagement. In addition, the Advisory Group supported engagement efforts for the Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory, which captured community members’ feedback on the conceptual designs for the priority park-opportunity sites.

There were two phases of community engagement for the Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory. Phase 1: Prioritization was conducted with the project’s Advisory Group, which consisted of staff from community partners Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) and Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT). The Advisory Group met with the project team once a month, supporting and critiquing the Parks and Open Space and Community gathering matrices and reviewing, verifying, and prioritizing the identified opportunity sites. During this phase, the Advisory Group served as representatives of the community and their interests because LANLT and CBE had recently conducted parks-related engagement.

Phase 2 of engagement centered on the draft conceptual designs prepared for the priority parkopportunity sites. Feedback was collected from community members at Cudahy’s Spring Fest event on March 30, 2024. Representatives from PlaceWorks, CBE, and LANLT were in attendance. The objectives of conducting engagement at the event were to:

1. Share results of previous park-related engagement efforts conducted by Communities for a Better Environment (CBE).

2. Inform Cudahy residents of completed and ongoing improvements to existing city parks.

3. Share details about renovations at Cudahy Park, progress on Clara Park Expansion, and the LA River Area Improvements project.

4. Introduce and get feedback on opportunity sites identified in the Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory study.

5. Build rapport between residents and the Parks & Recreation Department for broader participation in future engagement
A unique development pattern and high population density make identifying areas for new parkland in Cudahy challenging. The City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit outlines the creative approach used to inventory park opportunity sites and determine their feasibility. This report also includes design concepts that will position the City for future funding and lists specific recommendations and action items that will aid the Parks & Recreation Department in its efforts to provide more spaces and places where Cudahy residents can gather together, play, and relax.

Recommendations by the Placeworks Team

1. Continue Monitoring of Vacant and Underutilized Lots

2. Privately Owned Public Space (POPS) Development Policy

3. Further Conversations with Chevron about Temporary Closure of River Road and Acquisition of Parcel Land

4. Continue Grant Pursuit.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council file and receive the report.

Executive Summary
The City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory identified opportunity sites for potential new parkland, prepared and implemented a community engagement plan to collect feedback on new park needs and designs, and included conceptual plans illustrating potential new park sites that reflect community needs.

An interactive online map was created to understand existing conditions, centralize all parcel information, and visualize environmental justice data. A total of five lots were identified for potential park use and a publicly accessible road was identified for potential temporary recreation uses.

Conceptual designs were prepared for four priority sites, which were evaluated and selected based on several criteria, including vacancy and ownership status, lot size, location on a major street, proximity to transit stops, and feedback from the project Advisory Group.
• Site #1 – Elizabeth Street (1 acres)
• Site #2 – Park Avenue (0.1 acres)
• Site #3 – Cecilia Street (0.1 acres)
• Site #4 – River Road, temporary recreation (1.3 acres) and staging area (0.1 acres) The project Advisory Group, which consisted of two community-based organizations with previous experience in the City, provided insights into past parks-related engagement. In addition, the Advisory Group supported engagement efforts for the Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory, which captured community members’ feedback on the conceptual designs for the priority park-opportunity sites.

Recommended next steps for the City’s Department of Parks and Recreation are to:
• Fund design of the park opportunity site on Elizabeth Street and coordinate with LA Unified School District, which has adjacent recreational facilities that could expand the park site’s utility.
• Acquire the park opportunity site on Park Avenue and fund design. • Consult with the Chevron Corporation about feasibility of temporary closure of River Road and potential acquisition of the corner parcel at Cecilia Street and River Road. • Support the creation of a city-wide Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) Development Policy, requiring developers to include public spaces in their proposed projects.
• Monitor parcel statuses, investigating lots that become vacant or are classified as underutilized, particularly in very high need areas of the City.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 4
• Continue to pursue grant funding that supports providing Cudahy residents with quality public recreation opportunities.
• Maintain consistent outreach, engagement, and communication with Cudahy residents.

The Department of Park and Recreation should also plan to look for opportunities and funding to connect residents to parks and open space elsewhere in the region. Cudahy’s park acreage is unlikely to increase significantly as the City works to balance housing and economic development needs with limited space and available land.

Introduction
The City of Cudahy’s parks are an integral part of the community. They are an important source of green space and host a range of recreation and gathering opportunities for residents of all ages. The existing amount of park space in Cudahy, however, is less than it should be.

Results of the 2019 Los Angeles County Park Needs Assessment, a comprehensive countywide assessment of the park, infrastructure, and recreational needs and opportunities in cities and unincorporated areas of the county, show that with a total of

19.8 park acres and a population of 24,164 people, Cudahy has 0.8 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. This is significantly less than the average county ratio of 3.3 to 1,000. The assessment categorized Cudahy as having a “Very High” park need. Study areas in this category have the most severe parkland deficits.

A unique development pattern and high population density makes identifying areas for new parkland in Cudahy challenging. The City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit outlines the creative approach used to inventory park opportunity sites and determine their feasibility. This report also includes design concepts that will position the City for future funding and lists specific recommendations and action items that will aid the Parks & Recreation Department in its efforts to provide more spaces and places where Cudahy residents can gather together, play, and relax.

What is a Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory?
The Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory was funded by the City of Cudahy’s 2022 Technical Assistance Program (TAP) allocation from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD).

The components of the project are:

1. An inventory of vacant and underutilized lots and opportunity sites for potential new parkland

2. The preparation and implementation of a community engagement plan to collect feedback on new park needs and designs

3. Conceptual plans to illustrate potential new park sites that reflect community needs Advisory Group Participation
With a history of engagement around parks, open space, and environmental justice in Cudahy, representatives from the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT) and Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) acted as an Advisory Group for the Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory. LANLT and CBE provided information to help prioritize parcels identified in the study and supported and participated in engagement efforts.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 6
Methodology
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Inventory
The Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory began with the creation of an interactive online GIS map to understand existing conditions and take stock of all vacant and underutilized parcels in the City. The identified vacant lots were reviewed by City staff and further categorized as having plans known to the City or not having plans known to the City, indicating whether lots were already slated for future non-park development. Parcels were classified as underutilized according to the Assessor’s Parcel Improvement Value divided by the Assessor’s Parcel Land Value (I/L Ration). Parcels with a value below 0.4 were considered underutilized.

The inventory also included an environmental justice overlay illustrating pollution burden, bicycle and pedestrian collisions, and sites with identified soil and water contaminants. The interactive inventory map contains all identified vacant and underutilized lots. In addition to the environmental justice overlay, the interactive map includes several other layers that can be toggled on and off to help City staff understand existing conditions and constraints.

Two-Matrix Opportunity Site Analysis
Following the inventory, a two-matrix scoring system was created to assess the potential of identified vacant and underutilized parcels to be turned into new parks or new community gathering spaces. The Parks and Open Space Matrix is designed to highlight parcels with the greatest potential for becoming a park, while the Community Gathering Matrix identifies spaces that may be better suited to more urban uses such as mobile vending, art

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 7
installations, and small seating areas. Vacant and underutilized parcels were scored according to both matrices.

Some parcels were grouped together and scored as a single site. “Bundling” them in this way demonstrated the potential benefit of acquiring multiple adjacent properties, making larger sites (some over two acres) that could more realistically accommodate needed amenities such as a pool or dog park.

Parks and Open Space Matrix
The Parks and Open Space Matrix considers the following criteria to determine the potential for a given parcel to become a park: parcel vacancy status, parcel size, parcel ownership, a site’s capacity to accommodate an amenity identified in the LA Countywide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment as needed by the community, and street access.

In terms of parcel status, vacant parcels that had no plans known to the City or a plan for transforming the parcel to a park ranked highest. Sites measuring more than two acres and publicly owned parcels also earned more points. Finally, sites that could accommodate a needed amenity earned additional points.

The lowest scores were given to parcels that were privately owned and occupied by an inuse structure and landlocked parcels without street access.

Community Gathering Matrix
The Community Gathering Matrix considers parcel status, parcel ownership, and street access in the same way that the Parks and Open Space Matrix does. It also factors in a site’s location on a major street, its location on a street corner, and its proximity to bus stops.

Sites located along Atlantic, Otis, Salt Lake, and Wilcox avenues and on Clara and Santa Ana streets earned high scores, as did sites located on corners at street intersections. Both these criteria were selected and assigned their respective point values for parking and visibility reasons.

Public transit proximity was also relevant in this matrix as these sites could positively contribute to the first/last mile experience for transit riders. The general intent of this second matrix is to identify sites that could serve other recreational needs beyond a traditional park. Examples include bike fix-it stations, food vending infrastructure, and outdoor dining seating.

Results: Park Opportunity Sites
The results of both matrices were similar. Five sites received high scores per the Parks and Open Space matrix and seven sites received high scores per the Community Gathering matrix. This information was presented for feedback to the City of Cudahy team and the

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 8
project Advisory Group. The results of both matrices were then summarized with actions identified for next steps for the City, which included investigating top-scoring parcels, compiling information about planned park improvements, and identifying events for potential engagement opportunities
Parks and Open Space
The Parks and Open Space Matrix had five criteria: vacancy status, size, ownership, a site’s capacity to accommodate an amenity identified in the LA Countywide Parks and Recreation Nees Assessment as needed by the community, and street access. See the next page for a comprehensive breakdown of the scoring.

The highest scoring sites were:
- Rectangular lots adjacent to Park Avenue School (APN: 6224001901, APN:
6224001902). Lot size is 1 acre.
- Triangular lot at Salt Lake Avenue and Elizabeth Street (APN: 6224007900). Lot size is

0.2 acres.
- Vacant portion of lot, behind Cudahy U.S. Post Office (APN: 6226032005). Lot size is

0.5 acres.
- Triangular parcel across from Park Avenue School (APN: 6224013902). Lot size is 0.1 acres.
- River Road (APN: 6224029900, APN: 6224028032, APN: 6224001009, APN:
6226028001). Lot size is 1 acre.

Community Gathering
The Community Gathering Matrix had six criteria: vacancy status, location on a major street, location on a street corner, proximity to bus stops, and street access. A comprehensive breakdown of the scoring is below.

The highest scoring sites were:
- Rectangular lots adjacent to Park Avenue School (APN: 6224001901, APN:
6224001902). Lot size is 1 acre.
- Triangular lot at Salt Lake Avenue and Elizabeth Street (APN: 6224007900). Lot size is

0.2 acres.
- Vacant portion of lot, behind Cudahy U.S. Post Office (APN: 6226032005). Lot size is

0.5 acres.
- Triangular parcel across from Park Avenue School (APN: 6224013902). Lot size is 0.1 acres.
- River Road (APN: 6224029900, APN: 6224028032, APN: 6224001009, APN:
6226028001). Lot size is 1 acre.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 9
- Triangular lot at Santa Ana and Salt Lake (APN: 6224020803). Lot size is 0.3 acres. - Triangular lot at Cecilia Street and Ferndale Avenue (APN: 6224032800). Lot size is

0.2 acres.

Prioritization
Working with the Advisory Group and the City, the identified lots were prioritized based on knowledge of the community’s needs (acquired during the Link process) and the City’s plans. Three lots were initially selected for development of concept plans to be shared with the public:
• Rectangular lots adjacent to Park Avenue School: prioritized due to relatively large size, owned by City, potential for joint-use agreement with Park Avenue Elementary would increase size of park by including access to school fields during non-school times. Referred to as “Site #1: Elizabeth Street” in the remainder of this report. • Triangular parcel across from Park Avenue School: prioritized due to community interest in past efforts to convert into a park, potential for high use during school pick up and drop off times. Referred to as “Site #2: Park Ave.” in the remainder of this report.
• River Road: prioritized for potential to provide linear recreation opportunities with staging area, connections to Los Angeles River. Referred to as “Site #3: River Road” in the remainder of this report.

Additional research into each was completed after prioritization. This research revealed that River Road is owned by the Chevron Corporation and that the City has an easement allowing for highway use. Due to the time required to research the ownership of this parcel, the concept for this parcel was not shared with the public.

Design Concepts
Draft concept plans were prepared using information gathered from the community during the 2021 Link Initiative for all three sites.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 10
Site #1: Elizabeth Street
The draft conceptual design for the Elizabeth Street site includes lawns, outdoor fitness and parkour areas, amphitheater, picnic areas, a seating area, shade structures, and several different playgrounds. The estimate for this draft conceptual design is approximately $4 million, including both construction and soft costs. The park would require water and electricity. The water provider at this site is Tract 180 Water Company and nearby power and streetlight poles could be connection points for electricity provided by Southern California Edison.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 11
Site #2: Park Avenue
Two concepts were prepared for the Park Avenue site. One was geared towards fitness and seating areas and included a forested seating area, shaded seating area, and outdoor fitness area. The estimate for this draft conceptual designs is $3 million, including both construction and soft costs. The park would require water and electricity. The water provider at this site is Tract 180 Water Company and nearby power and streetlight poles could be connection points for electricity provided by Southern California Edison.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 12
The second concept, which focused on children’s play, included a shaded playground, shaded seating area, and climbing playground. The estimate for each of these draft conceptual designs is $3 million, including both construction and soft costs. The park would require water and electricity. The water provider at this site is Tract 180 Water Company and nearby power and streetlight poles could be connection points for electricity provided by Southern California Edison.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 13
Site #3: Cecilia Street and River Road
The stretch of River Road between Clara Street and Fostoria Street is well suited for conversion to a linear park along the Los Angeles River, with a vacant lot at the corner of Cecilia and River Road serving as a staging area. Its size, vacancy status, capacity to meet a needed amenity, and degree of street access made it a high-scoring parcel in both the Parks and Open Space and Community Gathering matrices. In addition, the Cudahy 2040 General Plan includes the repurposing and conversion of River Road to a 1-acre linear park in both its Circulation Element and Open Space and Conservation Element. “River Road, south of Elizabeth Street to Fostoria Street, will be closed to vehicular traffic and “greened-up,” linking River Park, Cudahy Park, and Elizabeth Elementary School to the Los Angeles River in a thoughtful, functional manner. This linear space will be landscaped and allow for community gardens, nature gardens, bike and pedestrian trail head facilities, shade structures, and other recreational amenities.” However, further investigation of River Road revealed that the parcels are privately-owned by the Chevron Corporation and a petroleum pipeline runs beneath River Road (see Appendix A). Many State and location regulations, as well as Chevron policies, govern allowable activities over an active pipeline. Initial conversations with Chevron included information from the State Fire Marshal indicating that no permanent improvements that would impede access to the pipeline would be allowed (see Appendix B). However, a title investigation confirmed that a highway easement allows for public use of the parcel as a road, which could indicate that temporary closures and uses such as farmers markets, community festival, or temporary recreation events could potentially be allowed (See Appendix C). Additional conversations with Chevron will be required to confirm this potential use.

The portion of this site that is vacant land on the corner of Cecilia Street and River Road does not have an APN number, and is considered a paper street. It is also owned by the Chevron Corporation and would require extensive conversations with Chevron to determine if the City could purchase the land, and what uses would be allowed on it, due to the proximity of the active petroleum pipeline.

A traffic study (see Appendix D) was conducted to evaluate potential changes to traffic and circulation patterns that could result from the closure of River Road. “With the closure of River Road each of the analyzed roadways would receive additional traffic, ranging from a couple hundred to 1,600 vehicles on a 24-hour basis.

The increase of 1,000 daily vehicles represents the smallest percent increase of five percent on Clara Street. The east/weststreets of Elizabeth Street, Santa Ana Street, and Cecilia Street see estimated increases of 13%, 12%, and 16%, respectively. The increase on both segments of Wilcox Avenue is roughly 10%. In terms of absolute numbers, the

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 14
greatest volume increase occurs on Wilcox Avenue with approximately 1,570 additional daily vehicles.

Given the wide range of volumes counted on these corridors, the estimated shifts are within the carrying capacity of each roadway and within the envelope of the highest volumes counted for this analysis, as daily vehicle counts on Clara Street were as high as 20,079 vehicles in a 24-hour period. While this may result in increased congestion during the peak commute periods, the roadways have adequate capacity to receive the additional traffic over a 24-hour period.”
Conducted by traffic consultant Fehr & Peers, the report showed that there would not be a significant impact on existing traffic volume by closing River Road. This traffic study also includes suggested signage and barriers for use during times of temporary road closures.

The draft concept for this plan includes programming ideas for the temporary closure of River Road, for uses such as farmer’s markets, bicycle rodeos, fitness challenges, festivals or other temporary events. No cost estimate is included for these programming-based concepts, as costs will vary widely depending on the event hosted. Before and after images are included below to encourage further exploration of this concept.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 16
Two draft concepts were prepared for the land at the corner of Cecilia Street and River Road: a community garden and a plaza/staging area. The draft opinion of probable cost for the Option 1 (community garden) draft concept is approximately $1 million, including both construction and soft costs. The draft opinion of probable cost for the Option 2 (plaza/staging area) draft concept is approximately $1.1 million, including both construction and soft costs.

The Cecilia Street site would require water and electricity regardless of which concept is developed. The water provider at this site is Golden State Water Company and nearby power and streetlight poles could be connection points for electricity provided by Southern California Edison.

Final conceptual plans for Site #3: River Road were not developed, as additional research and coordination with Chevron should be completed before it can be determined if this site is feasible. If it’s determined that the site is feasible, community engagement should occur before finalizing the conceptual plans.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 17
Additional Park Opportunity Sites
At just 1.23 square miles and with many vacant lots already designated for non-park development, Cudahy’s options for new parkland are limited. The results of the inventory led to the need for creative solutions for identifying additional opportunity sites.

Vacant Lots with Known Plans
In alignment with the recently published 2023 Economic Development Strategic Plan, parcels identified in the inventory as “vacant with known plans” are feasible sites for community gathering opportunities. A key recommendation of the Economic Development Strategic Plan is the creation of a better-defined community brand and identity for the City.

Included in this is “establishing placemaking guidelines for future redevelopment on Atlantic Avenue to improve walkability and opportunities for community gathering.” (I-11) While the Economic Strategic Development Plan uses SteelCraft Bellflower brewery as a case study, the City could also create and prioritize privately-owned public and open spaces that are not commercialized.

The Strategic Plan’s Quality of Life Initiative suggests the integration of community quality of life goals into developer outreach materials. City residents and businesses expressed their vision for amenities that will make Cudahy a great place to live: new locations for sociability, Latino heritage plazas and squares, family entertainment, outdoor markets, clean and safe parks and recreation facilities, community gardening, native plant/biofilter

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 18
landscaping, and more. Demand in Cudahy for multifamily residential and family entertainment uses continues to grow, especially along the Atlantic Avenue corridor, which has been designated a priority redevelopment area. This growth could be enhanced by new public parks and community gathering spaces.

Community Engagement Summary
There were two phases of community engagement for the Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory. Phase 1: Prioritization was conducted with the project’s Advisory Group, which consisted of staff from community partners Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) and Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT). The Advisory Group met with the project team once a month, supporting and critiquing the Parks and Open Space and Community gathering matrices and reviewing, verifying, and prioritizing the identified opportunity sites. During this phase, the Advisory Group served as representatives of the community and their interests because LANLT and CBE had recently conducted parksrelated engagement.

Phase 2 of engagement centered on the draft conceptual designs prepared for the priority park-opportunity sites. Feedback was collected from community members at Cudahy’s Spring Fest event on March 30, 2024. Representatives from PlaceWorks, CBE, and LANLT were in attendance. The objectives of conducting engagement at the event were to:

1. Share results of previous park-related engagement efforts conducted by Communities for a Better Environment (CBE).

2. Inform Cudahy residents of completed and ongoing improvements to existing city parks.

3. Share details about renovations at Cudahy Park, progress on Clara Park Expansion, and LA River Area Improvements project.

4. Introduce and get feedback on opportunity sites identified in Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory study.

5. Build rapport between residents and Parks & Recreation Department for wider participation in future engagement.

Information Sharing
Two boards conveyed information about recent park-related engagement efforts conducted by CBE and completed and ongoing improvements to existing parks in Cudahy.

More detailed information about the CBE-conducted surveys and design documents for Cudahy Park and the LA River Area Improvement project were also available for community members to view.

A representative from LANLT attended Spring Fest, tabling the event in collaboration with a youth member from CBE. LANLT shared a concept plan with design updates on the Clara Park Expansion renovation project and the project timeline.

Feedback from community members who visited the resource table included being surprised that a renovation was underway at Clara Park Expansion. Most community members were unaware of the project’s status. Community members were especially

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 20
interested in the project timeline and were excited about the new amenities coming to the park.

Attendees appreciated the clarity and transparency of the timeline for the park's completion in 2026. Parents were enthusiastic about playground and water play features for their children, anticipating relief from hot summer days with cool water. Young adults expressed interest in facilities such as the training area, soccer field, and basketball courts, particularly excited about sports engagement.

At the CBE booth, staff and youth members shared information about CBE's resources and membership, encouraging direct involvement in community initiatives such as park equity work. To enhance engagement, CBE implemented a passport system, incentivizing attendees to visit each station and submit their name to a raffle with CBE-funded prizes.

Bilingual youth members were stationed at other booths to explain materials and distribute passports to anyone who hadn't received one. LANLT also shared the organization’s brochure for general information about their work in Los Angeles County.

Information Gathering
PlaceWorks and CBE team members facilitated the information gathering activity and were available to answer questions. The CBE team comprised six staff members and six youth members who played diverse roles throughout the event. Some engaged in canvassing to draw attendees to the booth, while others provided interpretation services at these stations to ensure language accessibility for Spanish-speaking residents. The youth members guided attendees through interactive activities, providing targeted feedback and playing a significant role not only in introducing residents to park materials and visual boards but also in shaping the design of these materials beforehand to make them more community-friendly.

Two activity boards were used to introduce and get feedback on two opportunity sites identified in the Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory study – Elizabeth Street (APN:
6224001901, APN: 6224001902) and Park Avenue (APN: 6224013902). Residents were asked for their input by voting on amenities and designs. Before providing feedback, attendees were briefed on the 2021 survey results from CBE's community engagement efforts, which had informed ongoing work and helped build trust in the organization's commitment to community-led initiatives. A bilingual youth member explained this context and assisted with the sticker voting activity. Youth members demonstrated a strong commitment to ensuring attendees' questions were answered, redirecting them when necessary.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 21
Site #1: Elizabeth Street
For the Elizabeth Street opportunity site concept plan, community members expressed their preferences for types of play areas, amphitheaters, fitness equipment, and seating.

With a difference of one vote, a ropes course and an animal-themed playground, were well received by community members. Opinions on amphitheater style were similarly split.

There was a slight preference for an amphitheater with grassy seating. The most popular choice for a fitness area at the Elizabeth Street opportunity site was a ninja course.

Community members were most interested in boulder seating and wooden benches. 17 16

Site #2: Park Avenue
For the Park Avenue opportunity site, community members expressed their preferences for types of fencing, fitness area, seating, play area, and shade structures. Two concept plans were presented, one geared towards kids’ play and another that was fitness- and seating-focused. After expressing their preferences for each features, community members voted for one of the two options. The most popular fencing option was an embellished chain-link fence, followed by a corrugated fence. Workout equipment was the most popular choice for a fitness area. In terms of seating at the Park Avenue site, community members were most enthusiastic about concrete slabs. Animal-inspired play equipment was preferred, along with small shade structures with attached seating.

Of the two concept plans for Park Avenue, the Kids’ Zone was much more popular than the fitness- and seating-focused concept, earning 38 votes and 6 votes respectively.

Tree Pledge
A bilingual youth member facilitated a pledge tree activity, where attendees wrote on leaf cutouts what they planned to do to nurture and protect their parks and green spaces, hanging them on a cardboard tree. This activity engaged children visually and encouraged proactive engagement in protecting parks and green spaces like the Clara Park Expansion.

Participants expressed a desire to protect, nourish, and advocate for these vital community assets.

Continued Monitoring of Vacant and Underutilized Lots The City of Cudahy Parks and Recreation, Planning, and other relevant departments and divisions should be in regular communication about lots that have recently become vacant or are classified as underutilized, particularly in the very high need areas between Salt Lake Avenue and South Atlantic Avenue and south of Santa Ana Street.

2. Privately Owned Public Space (POPS) Development Policy With the help of the Parks and Recreation Department, the City of Cudahy Planning Division should draft place-making policies that require developers to include public spaces that will support continued population growth and further the quality of life goals for Cudahy residents. Increasing Privately Owned Public Space in the city would be an effective strategy for creating more gathering opportunities without the need for empty land, which is not widely available in Cudahy.

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 25
As is recommended in the City of Cudahy Economic Development Strategic Plan, quality of life goals should be integrated in developer outreach materials to demonstrate the City’s commitment to enhancing Cudahy’s sense of place and community identity and creating new locations for socialization and wellness.

3. Further Conversations with Chevron about Temporary Closure of River Road and Acquisition of Parcel 5 land
The results of the River Road title investigation show that the Chevron Corporation owns River Road and the land on either side of Cecilia Street where it meets River Road. Public use of the road is allowed by a highway easement that was issued to the City of Cudahy.

Whether or not temporary closure of the road for recreational use is allowed under the easement should be determined with the help of a real estate lawyer. The Parks and Recreation Department should also confer with their contact at Chevron to ensure that there are no liability concerns.

The Parks and Recreation Department should inquire about the possible uses on Chevronowned land at the corner of Cecilia Street and River Road and whether the pipeline creates any constraints. If it is determined that park use (e.g. community garden or plaza) is allowable, the City should enter into talks with Chevron about acquisition of this land. If the City acquires the land from Chevron, the Parks and Recreation Department would then return to the community with the draft concept plans included in this study. Community feedback would then inform the final concepts.

4. Continued Grant Pursuit
The Parks and Recreation Department should continue to pursue grant funding that can support the furthering of their mission to provide Cudahy residents with quality public recreation opportunities.

Greener Schoolyards for Los Angeles – Trust for Public Land (TPL) The Department should consider the conversion of schoolyards in its efforts to increase park access. Green schoolyards are designed in collaboration with local school districts, educators, parents, children, and community members and are open to the public outside of school hours through joint-use agreements between school districts and cities. The City of Cudahy could explore such an agreement with Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), which has set a goal of greening 28 LAUSD sites by 2028, in the future.

Community Resilience Centers Program (CRC) – California Strategic Growth Council (SGC)
California Strategic Growth Council’s CRC program “advances community resilience to climate impacts through: developing multi-benefit community serving spaces; providing services and programming to support communities both during disasters and year-round;

City of Cudahy Vacant and Underutilized Lot Inventory: Work Summary and Toolkit June 14, 2024 26
supporting development of community-driven partnerships; expanding economic opportunities; and supporting grassroots engagement in local decision-making processes.” CRC Round 1 Planning Grants were awarded to 11 projects located in designated lowincome communities in February 2024. Several projects involve the rehabilitation and renovation of existing community, recreation, and outreach centers.

DPR could consider initiating a conversation with other City departments and potential stakeholders about pursuing a CRC grant. To apply, a multistakeholder partnership involving community-based organizations and community residents within governance and decision-making processes is required. Eligible applicants include but are not limited to local government agencies, faith-based organizations, foundations, community development financial institutions, nonprofits, schools, and libraries.

Acquisition-Only Competitive Grant Program – Regional Parks and Open Space District (RPOSD)
Opening Summer 2024, RPOSD’s Acquisition-Only Competitive Grant Program is for acquisition-only projects that meet the goals of the Regional Recreation, Multi-use Trails and Accessibility Competitive Grant Program. Application filing opens on July 8, 2024 and closes on September 27, 2024. RPOSD will host an informational workshop in July 2024.

Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program – California State Parks
CA State Parks’ competitive grant program creates new parks and new recreation opportunities in underserved communities in the state. The program has had an impact on communities across the state, including in Los Angeles’ Jacaranda Park, which was previously a vacant lot owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Round 5 was postponed but previous grant guidelines are available online and updates about the grant timeline will be posted here.

5. Continued Engagement with Cudahy Residents
DPR should prioritize sustained outreach, engagement, and communication with Cudahy residents, especially as changes occur within the park system. Many community members that attended Spring Fest inquired about estimated completion of improvement projects.

DPR can close the public’s information gaps using methods such as social media updates, mailers, online and/or intercept surveys, park pop-ups, community workshops, and more.

Community preferences will continue to change and DPR should ensure it remains up to date on public opinion towards existing and future park space.

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 3, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Subject: Consideration to Approve a Sales Quote with Tyler Technologies for Additional Software for Permitting, Licensing and Code Enforcement and Augment the City’s Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to:

1. Approve a Sales Quote with Tyler Technologies, in the amount of $129,268 for the Enterprise Permitting, Licensing and Code Enforcement software system and authorize the City Manager to sign any related Agreement/Quote/Proposal without having to return to the City Council for further approval.

2. Adopt proposed Resolution No. 24-33 Augmenting the City of Cudahy Fiscal Year (FY) 2024- 2025 City Budget for $129,268.

BACKGROUND

1. On March 29, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with Tyler Technologies to be the City’s third-party software provider for an Enterprise Resource Program (ERP) system to perform the City’s finance, purchasing and other administrative functions.

ANALYSIS
As part of the City’s effort to modernize the existing systems and processes to provide more availability and flexibility of providing services to the community we are proposing to add additional software features to the City’s existing software system. This would add additional features in the areas of permitting, licensing, and code enforcement for the Planning, Building Item Number
14E

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"

Staff Report
09/03/2024 Page 2 of 2

and Safety, Engineering, and Code Enforcement departments/divisions. Currently, the City’s processes are manual based and do not provide the flexibility for the customers to be able to interact electronically.

The new features would automate processes to create additional efficiencies, ability to exchange and store electronic documents and ability to provide online payment options for these types of permits, licenses, and citations.

CONCLUSION
City Council approval of the Sales Quote with Tyler Technologies in the amount of $129,268, authorize the City Manager to sign any related Agreements/Quotes/Proposals not to exceed $129,268 without having to return to the City Council for further approval, and augment the City’s fiscal year 2024/2025 budget.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
None

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Development Impact Fees Funds in the amount of $129,268 will be used to pay for the implementation of the software system.

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 3, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director/City Treasurer
Subject: Discussion and Potential Adoption of Ordinance No. 756 Amending Section

2.04.080 (Compensation of Council Members) of Chapter 2.04 (City Council) of Title 2 (Administration and Personnel) of the Cudahy Municipal Code Amending Council Member Monthly Compensation Amount

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is recommended to discuss and potentially adopt Ordinance No. 756 amending Section 2.04.080 (Compensation of Council Members) of Chapter 2.04 (City Council) of Title 2 (Administration and Personnel) of the Cudahy Municipal Code amending Council Member monthly compensation amount.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On July 13, 1993, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 476 setting the compensation of City Council Members at four hundred eighty-three dollars and sixty cents ($483.60). On June 6, 2024, the City Council directed staff to bring back an ordinance increasing the monthly stipend amount.

Senate Bill 329, which became effective January 1, 2024, sets a new baseline salary maximum of $950 per month. The salary may be increased by either (1) an amount not to exceed 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment; (2) an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California Consumer Price Index, subject to a 10% per calendar year cap. Taking into account the additional compensation increase conditions of 5% per calendar year from the last adjustment would bring the salary limit maximum to $1,233.18. All other requirements remain the same. Any changes must be done by ordinance and cannot take effect until a general municipal election.
