STAFF REPORT
Date: February 4, 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 December 17, 2024, and January 21, 2025, 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 December 17, 2024, and January 21, 2025.

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 Item Number
12A

“Serving the People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report

Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.

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 December 17, 2024, and January 21, 2025.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Financial Impact.

improvements and other special projects. Utilizing input provided from the Council, City Manager, staff and the public, various projects were developed and proposed in this Update of the CIP.

CIP Infrastructure Projects have been classified into ten categories: Art and Beautification (ABP), Active Transportation (ATP), Bridge Improvements (BRI), City Facilities (CIF), Environmental/Green Projects (EGP), Energy Efficiency Improvements (ENE), Information Technology (ITI), Parks & Recreation (PRE), Street Improvements (STR), and Traffic Engineering TRE). The Construction CIP are projects containing major infrastructure or specific improvements. Non-Construction or Non-Infrastructure projects such as engineering studies or plans are not part of this CIP update, but they are included in the City’s Budget.

This CIP Update document was developed by incorporating input from the Council Workshop, the community Townhall meeting and key management team members. City staff in close coordination with the City Manager Office, identified and evaluated community needs in the different areas and project categories listed above. Each proposed project was reviewed and discussed to ensure funding, timing, and necessity were appropriately addressed. All projects were evaluated to ensure consistency with the City’s Strategic Implementation Plan, while considering the City’s long-term vision as developed by the Council and management team.

Projects in this document have been scheduled in each of the five fiscal years based on the community needs, city facilities deferred maintenance and availability of funding. Additionally, since many projects in the CIP are conceptual in nature, the general outline for cost estimated provided in last year’s CIP document was revised as shown on the CIP summary reports.

The proposed FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Update identified a total of 49 projects, new, active, and future projects, totaling $76,684,608. There are four projects completed during the previous FY 2024-25. Future projects have been identified as necessary infrastructure and will require funding to be identified for a project to commence.

The CIP funded amount is $36,838,508 (48% of the total CIP budget) while the funding sources to be identified includes the amount of $39,846,100 (52% of the total CIP budget). Other key elements to the CIP are:

Projects completed during fiscal year FY2024-25 include:
• Cudahy Efficiency and Renewable Energy project with Siemens (ENE-001) • Salt Lake Pedestrian Safety Improvements (HSIP 7) (TRE-001) • City Successor Agency Properties 5256 & 5260 Demolition Project (EGP-001) • Clara Street Park Rehabilitation Project – Phased Improvements include two office remodels & security gate improvements (PRE-003)

CUDAHY HISTORY
Named for its founder, meat-packing baron Michael Cudahy, who purchased the land known as Rancho San Antonio in 1908 for development. Cudahy began as an agricultural ranch in the late 1800’s. Curiously enough, the land was divided into long and narrow lots which were referred to as “Cudahy Acres,” and were marketed as small ranches. The concept captured the interest of people form the Midwest which captivated them with the idea of owning their won farmland. These farmers became Cudahy’s care settlers in the mid 1920’s.

Asindustrial development grew in neighboring communities, Cudahy provided residential sites and commercial services to workers.

Cudahy is relatively a young city, having been incorporated on November 10, 1960. Located in the Southeast Los Angeles next to the LA River and 710 Freeway, Cudahy is both a small city and part of a large metropolis. Although it has gone several facelifts over the decades, it is still middle America, a blue-collar city with a small-town feel. It boasts a unique name and a colorful only-in- California history.

THE CIP PROCESS
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) FY 25/26-29/30 is the roadmap the City of Cudahy uses to execute and manage its capital and infrastructure assets for next five Fiscal Years (FY).

A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains all the individual capital projects, equipment purchases, and major studiesfor a local government, in conjunction with construction and completion schedules, and in consort with financing plans. The plan provides a working blueprint for sustaining and improving the community’s infrastructure. It coordinates strategic planning, financial capacity, and physical development. The CIP is a working document and should be reviewed and updated annually to reflect changing community needs, priorities, and funding opportunitiesto ensure thatthe infrastructure existsto advance the community’s strategic and long-term goals and objectives.

A CIP hastwo parts – a capital budget and a capital program. The capital budget isthe upcoming year’s spending plan for capital items. The capital program is a plan for capital expenditures that extends typically five to ten years beyond the capital budget.

Use of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The Capital Improvement Program is primarily used by local government officials to create a long-term plan for capital improvement projects. It is critically important and one of the major responsibilities for a government entity.

Capital improvement planning helps bridge the gap between the planning process and the budget process. It helps community leaders make good planning choicesfor the future based on theirspecific goals and resources.

Elements of a Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Capital improvement programs differ between private companies and public organizations, and each local government will have its own unique needs it should detail in its CIP. Each city or state may have specific requirements.

In general, a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will include the following elements:
• Detailed project description and justification
• Estimated Overall Cost of Each Project
• Estimated Operational & Maintenance Cost for Each Project • Estimated Project Timelines
• Useful Life of Each Project
• Funding Sources
Benefits of a Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
A complete, properly developed CIP delivers the following benefits:
• Synchronizes capital and operating budgets
• Systematically evaluates competing demands for resources based on a prioritization matrix reflecting the entity’s long-term goals and objectives
• Identifies, prioritizes, and optimizes the financing of capital projects o Pay-Go
o Federal and State grants
o Debt financing
• Links strategic and comprehensive plans with fiscal capacity • Informsthe public about the government’s investment in infrastructure Features of a Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The CIP typically includes the following information:
• A listing of the capital projects, and equipment
• A financing plan

• A timetable for the construction or completion of the project • A project justification
• A classification, itemization and explanation for the project expenditures Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Development
Governments typically follow the following steps when developing a CIP:

Step 1. Organizing the Capital Improvement Plan
CIP Governance - The process begins with deciding to prepare a CIP and Capital budget and designating a lead department, usually the Public Works Department. Although the budget or finance office is involved in the process typically the public works department takes the lead because they have excellent multi-year programs that strategically examine capital projects. As a minimum, the lead department usually includes the major departments with capital facilities – e.g., public works for capital facilities, and parks and recreation for park facilities.

Develop Process, Forms, Criteria, and a Schedule - The next step in preparing the CIP is to develop:
• A CIP budget calendar detailing milestones and dates for the CIP process • Specific forms detailing project proposals
• A prioritization and decision-making matrix for evaluating and selecting capital projects Citizen and Stakeholder Involvement - The CIP budget calendar typically includes the process to involve other city departments and important stakeholders (other capital facilities providers in the area).

Step 2. Identify Projects and Funding Options
We often identify projectsfrom the individual infrastructure systems’ “capital needsstudies.” However, in many jurisdictions, neither capital needs studies nor comprehensive infrastructure inventories and condition assessments exist. Nevertheless, it is still possible to put together an effective CIP without them through effective development of the project request forms. The project request forms should designate the funding source(s) available for the project.

Selecting the Projects After the project proposals have been submitted, the CIP department lead evaluates and prioritizes each project. Then, finance staff forecast the amount of unTHE CIP PROCESS 9

earmarked money available. Projects competing for general funds, that is, unearmarked money, are reprioritized based upon the available funds.

The projects are next divided into priority groups — i.e., those which are urgent and for which efforts should be made to find funding; those which should be completed as funds become available, and so on. Projects with existing funding, from enterprise funds, should also be evaluated. The next step is to actually decide on what will be funded.

Step 3. Prepare and Recommend a Capital Plan and Budget The selected projects, plans, timelines, and financing summaries are then compiled and presented for approval to the elected officials. Modern visualization technology helps when presenting this complex, three-dimensional capital improvement plan, with all of its individual capital projects, studies and equipment purchases, in an understandable and user-friendly manner. The governing body may conduct hearings, workshops, and other outreach efforts to ensure all stakeholders and interested parties can provide feedback.

Performance indicators and project development milestonesshould be developed for the recommended capital plan forsubsequent reporting purposes. Project management and performance indicatorsystems are important capital budget implementation tools.

Step 4. Adoption of the Capital Budget
The CIP’s first year becomes the Capital Budget. There are three waysthat the projects in the capital budget can be approved:
• Adopt an annual capital budget: This method funds projects only a year at a time with the funds needed for the project for that year.
• Adopt the capital budget with the entire amount for every project approved in that fiscal year, regardless of whether it will be spent that year: In addition, carryover funds for capital projects from one year are usually put into the next year’s budget and approved again by the elected officials. • Approve a bond financing and authorizing the project(s).

Importance of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a planning and management tool used by local government officials to create a 5-year plan for capital improvements. It is critically important and one of the major responsibilities for a government entity.

• The CIP helps a community anticipate needs rather than just reacting to problems in the moment. • Planning ahead provides time for leaders to get the necessary resources in place gradually, as opposed to all at once.
• A CIP provides the proper preparation necessary to determine the most economical means of financing a project.
• When prepared collectively, the CIP helps increase “buy-in” among officials and employees, and helps citizens understand its importance.
• The CIP putsthe community in position to quickly take advantage of federal orstate grant programs and opportunities.

The CIP is a working document and should be reviewed and updated annually to reflect changing community needs, priorities, and funding opportunities to ensure that the infrastructure exists to advance the community’s strategic and long-term goals and objectives.

Description
Citywide Bus Stop Improvements enhance safety, mobility and comfort for commuters utilizing public transportation, while complying with current ADA regulations. The project includes installation and/or replacement of bus shelters, along with amenities such as benches, lighting, traffic striping, signage and/or trash receptacles with City branding and art.

Justification
Existing Cudahy bus stops citywide are old and deteriorated. At several other locations marked as bus stops, there are no bus shelters and/or bus stop infrastructure. Great bus stops are comfortable places to wait, surrounded by safe and accessible walking conditions — and they are important drivers of bus ridership and customer satisfaction.

Great bus stops result from collaboration; careful design and placement; and continuous funding, maintenance, and improvement.

Bus stop infrastructure ranges from a simple pole and sign to a rudimentary shelter, to sophisticated structures. Greater utilization of public transport services over personal vehicle use is one of the best ways to reduce emissions and helps save the environment. In addition, better bus stops Infrastructure improves the safety of people using public transportation.

Strategic Plan Goal A and Goal E
Description
The Beautification project includes four site improvements, focusing on the City’s portion of the Los Angeles River. The project beautifies and improves public spaces, deters littering by developing unused lots, and increases access to the LA bike path.

The four public spaces are: LA River Bike Path, Cudahy River Park, Clara Bridge Slopes, and Otis Avenue Pocket Park as noted below:

1. LA River Bike path: bike path restriping, installing permeable pavers, benches, trash bins along river, upgrading fencing, pedestrian lighting, landscaping, irrigation system, entrances beautification, murals;

2. Cudahy River Park: Landscape improvements to a dilapidated park across River main entrance. Bike path accessibility improvements including pathway rehabilitation, biking amenities, landscaping, lighting, irrigation system;

3. Clara Bridge Slopes: Construct terrace gardens, LA River way finders, fencing upgrades, landscaping bridge slopes to deter littering, and create interest points toward river; and

4. Otis Avenue Pocket Park: Converting an undeveloped lot across a school into a pocket park. Landscaping, irrigation, pedestrian pathway, irrigation, mounting murals and public art, trash bins.

Justification
The Los Angeles River bike path is a focal site for Cudahy and a key point in the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan (LLAR). It is a bike and pedestrian path for the City, and a potential catalyst to encourage green spaces, public art, and unify the City via community gardens, HUB for events. However, the River bike path and adjacent areas are underutilized, and instead attract litter, graffiti, and unwanted activity.

The infrastructure improvement and beautification project will revitalize the LA river, upgrading the bike path, creating mural spaces, public art, and point of attractions like gateway entrances, benches, and attractive fencing and landscaping. Moreover, the Bridge Slopes and Cudahy River Park are adjacent to the River, and therefore their improvements will increase bike accessibility, increase green space, and deter litter by providing attractive landscaping areas. The Otis Pocket Park will convert an undeveloped lot into a park centered around public art.

Description
The project includes community art improvements and decorations through the City by the implementation of murals, sculpture, memorials, community art, and installation of banners to celebrate holidays and commemorate patriotic, seasonal and special dates such as veteran’s day, Christmas, and/ or Hispanic Heritage month.

Justification
In order to address dilapidated and underutilized areas in the City, the City would identify these sites as opportunity sites to promote public art spaces and create new landmarks that provide a sense of identity to Cudahy. The Citywide beautification project intends to decrease vandalism and dilapidated areas by activating these public spaces as areas that increase civic engagement, establishing congregation spots, and providing murals and art spaces that instill pride in the community. Developing the Cudahy brand as well as establishing a visual identity to the City are both strategies that were identified in Goal F of the City’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, Communication and Outreach. This project would help meet this goal by providing visual pieces that establish an identity as helps build the Cudahy brand.

Description
The project scope of work consists of the installation of new LED lighting on Clara Bridge. It also includes concrete beams retrofit to receive new poles, hand-rail painting, traffic stripping and structural repairs per bridge report recommendations. The project also entails traffic striping reconfiguration and the installation of traffic calming measure devices.

Justification
The Clara Bridge is probably one of the most important infrastructure assets in the city. Although the Clara Bridge was built back in the 1950’s it is structurally sound per Caltrans annual reports received by the City. In addition, the Clara Bridge connects Cudahy with the City of Bell Gardens and the East side of the Gateway region. The surroundings of the Bridge include the Los Angeles River and the 710 Freeway which lack of lighting; therefore, there is an immediate need to provide proper lighting for vehicles and pedestrians to the Clara Bridge area.

By installing the proposed LED Lighting at the Bridge, the City will enhance safety in the gateway at the East city limits. In addition, high visibility striping and traffic striping reconfiguration at the bridge will significantly improve the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles while discourage speeding with the installation of radar feedback speed signs edge line striping and other traffic calming measures.

Description
The City Facilities Improvement Project consists of the rehabilitation of all city buildings. This includes interior and exterior upgrades such as plumbing, lighting, painting, flooring, ADA improvements, landscaping, parking lots resurfacing, façade improvements, new fencing, automatization of access doors, hardware upgrades (doors/ windows), installation of security cameras, roofing upgrades and skylights replacements, ceiling replacements, new installations for video and voice data (internet), public counters, etc. The Siemens project includes roofs and HVAC units' replacement, LED lighting conversion, installation of solar panels at some city buildings, and city-owned street lighting upgrades to LED.

Justification
All our city facilities need major rehabilitation. Since their construction city buildings have not been remodeled and/ or upgraded to comply with current code standards.

Deferred maintenance has been an ongoing issue in all our city facilities. Generally, a policy of continued deferred maintenance may result in higher costs, asset failure, and in some cases, health and safety implications. To avoid these, the city is working with a consultant to prepare a Facilities Condition Assessment and Maintenance Plan. The challenge is to look for special funds that can pay for these improvements. Since these are city owned buildings and facilities, funding sources for this type of project are limited.

Description
ADA Improvements within City Facilities for current ADA code compliance (includes ADA compliant restrooms, ADA access ramps to buildings, and path of travel improvements, striping and signs).

Justification
ADA Compliance is essential for any public agency. For this purpose, the City of Cudahy has prepared an American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan. The Transition Plan includes reports identifying the extent of construction-related and potential barriers in the City’s programs, services, activities and special sponsored events.

The reports have identified barriers or potential barriers in accordance with currently applicable Federal and State accessibility standards and regulations. To successfully implement the recommendations included in the ADA Transition Plan and complete the project activities in a timely manner, this project is included in the CIP Program. The Public Works Department will work closely and collaboratively with the City Manager’s Office and other City departments to successfully implement the City of Cudahy ADA Transition Plan in city facilities. The challenge is to look for special funding that can pay for these improvements, which are limited for this type of improvement.

Strategic Plan Goal E
Description
Construction of a new City yard for the Public Works Department project includes land acquisition or long-term lease agreement. The new building will include office area, training room, restrooms, lockers, recreation room, storage, area, designated bay areas for all departments subdivisions, parking for visitors and employees, area for deliveries, and the constructions of the construction and installation of all required amenities, to deliver the project program for the proposed projects.

Justification
The existing Public Works City Yard located at 7810 Otis Avenue, inside Lugo Park Facilities, has exceeded its capacity due to the city’s fleet growth within the last few years and various equipment and tools used by the Public Works Department to maintain City streets and City facilities in a safe working condition. Due to the nature of the Public Works Department role in maintenance and construction activities, more equipment is needed to properly perform these activities. For example, in the street maintenance division, the Public Works Department is in the process of purchasing and has purchased construction equipment for street maintenance requiring more space to safely store the additional equipment. This includes the acquisition of new equipment such as a skidder (and attachments for grinding, paving & sweeping work), asphalt/ concrete sawcut, concrete mixer, 2-F350 trucks, flatbed trailer and other miscellaneous equipment, technologies and materials.

Security is another issue that city staff has been experiencing. In recent years, transients have trespassed to the facility while on other occasions, the sheriffs have responded to several calls when homeless people have tried to access the building. Small equipment and car batteries have been stolen as a result of these incidents. A surveillance system is required to avoid these incidents in the future. In addition, new offices, a recreation room and training room is needed for employees training. In preparation for this, the City is working with a consultant to prepare a Space Utilization Study that will include all space needs by department. The challenge is to look for special funds that can pay for these improvements. Since these are City owned building and facilities, funding sources for this type of projects are limited.

Description
As Phase III of the Lugo Park improvements, the Cudahy Dog Park Project consists of the construction of a Dog Park next to the Lugo Park soccer field. The project includes an architectural assessment of the proposed unused area surrounding the soccer field, preparation of design plans & specifications for construction.

The proposed improvements include the installation of all amenities for separate dog fields based on species size, track around the park, installation of the benches shade structures where space allows, dog waste stations, trach receptacles, signage, and other miscellaneous items, a private screen between the City park and adjacent school, secure fencing, replace/updated signage, redo existing walkway, upgrade gazebo, new picnic tables, new BBQ pits, new irrigation pump and irrigation system upgrades. In addition, Phase III improvements include the. Install new LED message board.

Justification
The City is currently categorized as a park poor community in the 2016 Los Angeles County Park Need Assessment and designated as a very high need city. To address the lack of green space, the City needs to strategically identify opportunities to activate citywide unutilized and underutilized vacant lots.

A priority is developing a Cudahy Dog Park. A dog park in Lugo Park would provide a new service for Cudahy residents as well as provide a public space that community members can congregate. Dog parks are also fairly scarce in the Southeast Los Angeles area. Therefore, this project would have regional benefits. The challenge is to look for special funds that can pay for these improvements. Since these are city owned buildings and facilities, funding sources for this type of project are limited.

These activities will ensure the City maintains compliance with the NPDES Permit and provide the City with water quality data that will guide future planning efforts to develop and implement projects and programs that target pollutants. Additionally, the City intends to bank the remainder of the funds for a new project or program that implements the goals of the Safe Clean Water Program in future years.

The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has identified the Cudahy Citywide Storm Drain Improvement Project as a potential project that will meet Measure W Program requirements. City owned storm drain infrastructure has been deteriorated over the years and needs improvements.

Description
Purchase of construction equipment for Public Works Department for street maintenance. The project entails the acquisition of equipment such as a skidder (and attachments for grinding, paving & sweeping work), drum compactor, asphalt/ concrete saw, concrete mixer, trucks, flatbed trailer and other miscellaneous equipment, technologies and materials that help to reduce the cost of maintaining and rehabilitating our local streets and roads through material choice and construction methods. The street maintenance work will include pothole repairs, asphalt concrete restoration (grind & cap), surface treatment, removal and replacement of damaged sidewalks and driveways as well as removal of sidewalk tripping hazards, medians maintenance and traffic striping.

Justification
Currently, the Public Works Department does not have the proper construction equipment to adequately perform day-to-day routine maintenance activities. The city plans to be more efficient in its street maintenance work in-house program while maintaining safe working conditions on its road network.

Description
The project consists of painting curb address numbers on city curbs. .

Justification
The purpose of having the house number painted on the curb in reflective paint besides the identification and location of a house for mailing purposes is so that in the event of a 911 call the emergency personnel can locate the house easier day or night. Additionally, address numbers often become hidden by overgrown trees and shrubs.

Weather, and cars and parking activity tend to fade/ deteriorate curb address number on city streets. In order to keep curb addresses legible the City of Cudahy performs this project every other year. Fy 22/23 Project Cycle was completed on 6/26/2023. (Next cycle year 2025) .

Description
Citywide traffic signs, traffic stripping, and pavement markers installation per California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) standards. Also street name signs upgrades.

Justification
Existing traffic signs and traffic striping citywide have been deteriorated over the years. The increase of traffic volume has caused traffic striping to fade more in some areas, specially at intersections. In order to keep striping at acceptable levels of visibility and reflectivity, the Public Works Department Operations team is constantly maintaining traffic signs and striping in a safe working condition, while meeting code compliance and CAMUTCD requirements. The project includes street name signs upgrades as needed to comply with CAMUTCD specifications.

Description
Traffic Signal Improvements at Salt Lake Ave and Santa Ana St intersection per City of Cudahy Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) recommendations.

Justification
The Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, as well as citywide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network allows for opportunities to improve traffic safety at problematic intersections like Salt Lake Avenue and Santa Ana St.

This intersection is one of the most conflicting intersections in the city due to several factors which include street configuration, high traffic volume at peak hours, traffic delays due to the proximity of the railroad tracks and everyday train operations That significantly affect the traffic flow within the area. In addition, existing Industrial developments in the west side of the city bring significant truck traffic volume to the intersection. Further, Santa Ana St is one of the few East-West arterials that connect to our neighbor cities of South Gate and Huntington Park. NOTE: Project might be included in Metro's Southeast Gateway Line (SGL), formerly known as West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Project Improvements.

Justification
Speeding is a frequent problem in Cudahy. Speeding is also a challenge due to drivers' behaviors and lack of respect for posted speed limits, citywide. Recent research suggests that drivers do not naturally choose prudent speeds, and, in fact, they frequently underestimate how fast they’re driving by 10% to 30%.

The Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, as well as citywide trends and patterns.

The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network allows for opportunities to: Identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for all roadway users, Improve safety at specific high-crash locations, reduce serious injury and fatal collisions, and develop safety measures using the four E’s of safety:

Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Response to encourage safer driver behavior and better severity outcomes.

With the implementation of this project the City continues its safety efforts by identifying areas of emphasis and systemic recommendations to enhance safety. The City’s vision is to enhance the transportation network and reduce traffic fatalities and serious injury related crashes. The City is planning to adopt a Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic deaths by 2050. The implementation of this goal will be led by various City departments.

Description
Install Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system (battery back-up system) at existing traffic signals citywide (Furnish & install a new alpha 100W with (6) relays and 120V input/ output IP/SNMP UPS system complete with external mounting cabinet and (4) batteries Per location). Project locations. Traffic signalized intersections at:

1. Wilcox Ave. & Clara St.

2. Wilcox Ave & Live Oak St.

3. Otis Ave. & Clara St.

4. Otis Ave. Live Oak St.

5. Clara St. & Clara St North/ Clara South
Justification
With power outages being more common in Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, it is important to plan accordingly to keep traffic signals always running, citywide. Caused by natural causes, human error, or system demand overload; power outages are on the rise in Southern California. Any interruption in the supply of electricity to our traffic signals can cause circulation chaos with the potential of unsafe traffic conditions. Although the California Vehicle Code requires drivers to Stop at a “dark” non-powered signalized intersection, drivers have been observed not stopping as required by law leading to unfortunate events such as an increased risk of car and pedestrian type crashes. In response to this, Cudahy has installed battery back-up (UPS) systems citywide.

Description
In the last few years there has been a surge in city facilities break-ins, vandalism among other criminal activities within city facilities and parks. An additional layer of security is needed to maintain a safe environment for staff and members of the community in our city facilities and parks.

Justification
A mobile surveillance security station can enhance the city’s security needs in a cost-effective manner. Having a mobile surveillance station can add a layer of security facilitating rapid deployment on an as needed basis. The mobile surveillance station(s) can be relocated throughout the city to provide monitoring capabilities within city limits.

STAFF REPORT
Date: February 4, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Joshua Calhoun, CPA, Finance Director/City Treasurer Willdan Financial Services
Subject: Formation of the Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District and Annual Levy of Assessments Beginning FY 2025/26

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to:

1. Approve Resolution No. 25-03, initiating proceedings to form the Cudahy landscaping and lighting district, which calls for the preparation and filing of the engineer’s report regarding the formation of the district and the levy of assessments; and,

2. Approve Resolution No. 25-04, declaring the city’s intention to form the Cudahy landscaping and lighting district, to levy assessments commencing in fiscal year 2025/2026, preliminarily approve and file the engineer’s report, to conduct a property owner protest ballot proceeding for the assessments, and sets the time and place for the public hearing.

BACKGROUND
The City of Cudahy is proposing the formation of the Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District (“District”) to pay for the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of the local landscaping, and street lighting improvements of properties within the City of Cudahy.

Similar to other assessment districts previously formed by the City, this proposed District is being formed in connection with previously approved agreements to provide a mechanism to fund the ongoing maintenance and operation of the landscaping and street lighting improvements established in connection with the properties within the proposed District pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highway Code school site; and various associated public areas, Item Number
14A

easements, and rights-of-way.

The assessment rates for the original Street Light District have not increased since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, which limits the ability to raise assessments without voter approval.

As a results, the rates have not kept up with rising costs for the maintenance of the district, leading to a loss of revenue over time which may result in reduced service levels, or the need for alternative funding sources to cover the maintenance and operational expenses.

ANALYSIS
The formation of the District will allow for the levy and collection of annual assessments on the County tax rolls commencing in fiscal year 2025/2026. The annual assessments which are more fully described in the attached Engineer’s Report will provide funding for the net special benefit costs and expenses that are necessary to service and maintain landscaping and lighting improvements associated with the properties within the District.

The table below describes the proposed increase in assessment rates from the current assessment rates.

However, to levy such assessments, the City must conduct a property owner protest ballot proceeding under the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIIID (Proposition 218) which requires mailed notices and ballots to the property owners of record at least 45-days prior to the public hearing. At the conclusion of the public hearing, returned ballots will be opened and tabulated to determine if majority protest exists. If majority protest exists, proceedings to form the District will be abandoned. If majority protest does not exist, the City Council may form the District and authorize the levy of assessments.

The resolutions being presented this evening for the City Council’s consideration are required pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and represent the first steps in the district formation process and sets the public hearing for Tuesday, April 15, 2025.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
If the City chooses not to adopt the proposed Resolutions and remain with the existing Street

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
02/04/2025 Page 3 of 3
Light District, the District will continue to operate underfunded, and the City will need to contribute from other sources to cover the gap between revenue and expenditures to keep maintaining the District. This financial strain on the City may place pressure on the overall budget and limit financial flexibility.

It is in the City’s best interest to move forward with the recommendation to form the Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District, to attempt to increase the annual assessment rates which will generate $241,470 in revenue to cover the District’s expenses.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City adopt Resolutions 1) initiating proceedings to form the Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District; and 2) the resolution of intention to form the Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District.

City of Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District
Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Introduction
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500 (referred to as the “1972 Act”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID of the California State Constitution (hereafter referred to as the “California Constitution”), the City Council of the City of Cudahy, County of Los Angeles, State of California (hereafter referred to as the “City”), propose to form a special benefit assessment district designated as:

Landscaping and Lighting District
(hereafter referred to as the “District”), in order to provide and maintain various landscaping and lighting improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the District.

This Engineer’s Report (the “Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 of the 1972 Act, and presented to the City Council for their consideration and approval of the improvements and services to be provided within the District and the levy and collection of the assessments related thereto to fund the special benefit costs and expenses required to service and maintain designated improvements within the District commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/2026.

This Report has been prepared at the direction of the City for the formation of the District and the proposed levy of annual assessments commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/2026. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, or tract of this Report is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Report and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, or tract thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, portions, or tract might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

This Report outlines the District structure, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied in connection with the special benefits the properties within the District will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District will provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of the, landscaping and lighting improvements as well as traffic signals within the District and zones of benefit (“Zones”) established herein, which provide special benefits to the properties within the District and each respective Zone. Each Zone outlined in this Report is a reflection of the various improvements and the types of improvements and services to be provided by the District for the properties that are directly associated with and benefit from those improvements. The net annual cost to provide the improvements for each Zone are allocated to the benefiting properties within that Zone using a weighted method of apportionment (refer to Assessment Methodology in “Part II — Method of Apportionment”) that calculates the proportional special benefit and assessment for each parcel as compared to other properties that benefit from the District improvements and services.

The estimated cost of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District and each respective Zone each fiscal year may include, but are not limited to the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District; the collection of funds for operational reserves or for periodic maintenance and improvement rehabilitation projects; deficits or surpluses from prior fiscal years; and revenues from other sources as authorized by the 1972 Act. Each parcel is to be assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit. After formation of this District, in each subsequent fiscal year, the City shall establish the District’s

City of Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District
Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the improvements for that fiscal year and available revenues including fund balances, general benefit contributions, any additional City contributions, and the assessment limits established herein.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the District assessments.

Ballot Proceedings
Pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution, and in accordance with the provisions of Government Code, Section 53753, the City shall conduct a property owner protest ballot proceeding (“Ballot Proceeding”) for the proposed levy of new assessments as described in this Report. In conjunction with this Ballot Proceeding, the City Council will conduct a noticed public hearing to consider public testimonies, comments, and written protests regarding the formation of the District and the establishment of the proposed assessments. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, property owner protest ballots received will be opened and tabulated to determine whether majority protest exists as defined in Article XIIID of the California Constitution.

As specified by the California Constitution, Article XIIID Section 4e:
“A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the hearing, ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. In tabulating the ballots, the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property.”
After completion of the ballot tabulation, the City Council will confirm the results of the balloting.

If majority protest exists for the proposed assessments, further proceedings to form the District and implement the new assessments shall be abandoned at this time. If tabulation of the ballots indicate that majority protest does not exist for the proposed assessments and the assessment range formula presented and described herein, the City Council may adopt this Report (as submitted or amended); approve the district diagram(s) contained herein; order the formation of the District; direct the improvements to be made; and confirm and approve the levy and collection of the assessments as outlined in this Report.

The assessment rates and method of apportionment described in this Report, as approved or modified by the City Council, define the initial maximum assessment applicable to the parcels within the District as of Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The assessments so authorized, including the assessment range formula shall establish the authorized maximum assessments for subsequent fiscal years.

Commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/2026 and each subsequent fiscal year, an annual Engineer’s Report for the District shall be prepared and presented to the City Council to address any proposed changes to the District including any proposed annexations, and/or changes to the improvements, budgets and assessments for that fiscal year. The City Council shall annually hold a noticed public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering the levy of assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. The assessments as approved and ordered will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll for each affected parcel for that fiscal year. Such assessments shall not exceed the annually adjusted maximum assessments authorized herein unless the proposed new or increased assessment is approved by the property owners in a Ballot Proceeding.

City of Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District
Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Report Content
This Report has been prepared in connection with the formation of the Landscaping and Lighting District and the levy of assessments commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/2026, pursuant to a resolution of the City Council and consists of five (5) parts.

Part I — Plans and Specifications
This section provides a general description of the District and the improvements for which parcels are to be assessed. The proposed assessments as outlined in this Report are based on the improvements and appurtenant facilities that will provide a special benefit to the properties within the District and generally consist of landscaping, lighting and operational expenses authorized pursuant to the 1972 Act. The plans and specifications contained in this Report generally describe the nature and extent of the improvements. In conjunction with these descriptions of the improvements, an overall visual depiction of the proposed landscaping and lighting improvements is provided within the District Diagram contained in Part IV of this Report. More detailed information regarding the specific plans and specifications associated with the District improvements are on file with the City of Cudahy and by reference are made part of this Report.

Part II — Method of Apportionment
This section includes a discussion of the general and special benefits associated with the various improvements to be provided within the District (Benefit Analysis), which includes a discussion of the proportional costs of the special benefits and a separation of costs considered to be of general benefit (and therefore not assessed). This section of the Report also outlines the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit necessary to calculate the annual assessments.

Part III — Estimate of Costs
This section establishes an estimate of the annual costs (referred to as the “budget”) to operate, maintain, and service the landscaping, lighting, and appurtenant facilities. This budget includes an estimate of the maintenance costs and incidental expenses including, but not limited to labor, materials, utilities, equipment, and administration expenses as well as the collection of other appropriate funding authorized by the 1972 Act. Those improvements and/or costs determined to be of general benefit shall be funded by a City contribution and are excluded from the amount to be assessed as special benefit. The resulting proposed maximum assessment rates (the “Maximum Assessment Rate Per EBU”) identified in this budget establishes the initial maximum assessment rates as of Fiscal Year 2025/2026 and shall be adjusted annually by the Assessment Range Formula also described in this section of the Report. The maximum assessment amount to be balloted for each parcel is calculated based on the initial maximum assessment rate established for each Zone and the Assessment Methodology described in “Part II — Method of Apportionment” of this Report.

Each fiscal year commencing with this Fiscal Year 2024/2025, an estimate of costs to provide the District improvements for the fiscal year shall be prepared and filed with the City Clerk in an Engineer’s Report. These annual costs shall be based on the estimated net annual special benefit cost of operating, maintaining, and servicing the improvements for that fiscal year as well as funds to be collected for authorized reserves and/or installments for costs and activities that cannot be reasonably collected in a single fiscal year’s assessments. The resulting assessment rates (the “Assessment Per EBU”) identified in the Engineer’s Report and approved annually by the City Council shall establish the proposed assessments to be levied and collected for that fiscal year.

Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Zones of Benefit
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing various landscaping and lighting improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation, maintenance, and servicing of those improvements and related facilities. In addition, to ensure an appropriate allocation of the estimated costs to provide various improvements based on proportional special benefits, landscaping and lighting districts often times include benefit zones (“Zones”) as authorized pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4, Section 22574 of the 1972 Act:
“The diagram and assessment may classify various areas within an assessment district into different zones where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements.

A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements.”
The cost for maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 have been estimated for all existing streetlights and traffic signals in the City and is shown within the District budget, located in Part III of this Report. The improvement costs have been distributed to all assessable lots or parcels in the City that have abutting footage on streets in accordance with the prescribed Method of Apportionment and benefit received.

Part II — Method of Apportionment
Legislative Authority and Provisions
1972 Act
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation and servicing of landscaping and lighting improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formulas used for calculating assessments and the designation of Zones as established herein reflect the composition of parcels within the District and the improvements and activities to be provided, and have been designed to fairly apportion the cost of providing those improvements based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the provisions of Article XIIID of the California Constitution (Proposition 218).

California Constitution
The costs to operate and maintain the District improvements are identified and allocated to properties within each Zone within the District based on special benefit. The improvements provided and for which properties are to be assessed are identified as local landscaping and lighting improvements and related amenities that were installed in connection with the development of the properties and/or would otherwise be required for the development of properties within each respective Zone. The District assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that these improvements would otherwise not have been required without the development or planned development of those parcels.

Article XIIID Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service.” Article XIIID Section 2i defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.”

City of Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District
Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Article XIIID Section 4a defines Proportional Special Benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” Benefit Analysis
The improvements provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as necessary, desired and/or required for the District to operate successfully.

Special Benefits
Landscaping
The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas within the District will provide aesthetic benefits to the properties within the District and each respective Zone therein and are intended to provide a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live, and work. The primary function of these improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and green space for the benefit of the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements are constructed and installed and/or are facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within the District. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in the District and while some of these improvements may in part be visible to properties outside the District and/or the respective Zones, collectively if these improvements are not properly maintained, it is the parcels within the District and/or the respective Zones that would be aesthetically burdened. Additionally, many of the landscape improvements include green spaces that provide visually pleasing open space areas that serve as an extension of the physical attributes of the parcels assessed, such as their front or rear yards and may also provide a greater opportunity for recreation as well as serving as a physical buffer and/or sound reduction buffer between the roadways and the properties in the District. Thus, the maintenance of these landscaped improvements provides particular and distinct benefits to the properties and developments associated with those improvements.

Streetlights
Streetlighting in the District are useful for illuminating the streets that provide access to the properties, as well as the sidewalks and parking lanes associated with those properties. While it is recognized that streetlights and traffic signals serve in part to enhance traffic safety, installation and construction of these improvements are required for undeveloped and developed properties within the District. These improvements provide three main special benefits to those properties:
(i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway access benefit. Traffic circulation in the City is the result of local traffic to and from these properties, so it is reasonable to assume that properties derive a percentage of particular and distinct benefit from the streetlights that support the safe access to the properties and essentially all pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the assessed properties.

As a result, the maintenance of these lighting improvements is a particular and distinct benefit to the properties within the District and the Zones.

City of Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District
Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Traffic Lights
Traffic lighting systems are an essential component of modern infrastructure, offering a wide range of benefits that contribute to the overall efficiency, safety, and sustainability of the City's transportation network. The implementation of traffic lights at intersections plays a crucial role in managing the flow of traffic, reducing accidents, and improving pedestrian safety and are beneficial to the property owners in the District.

General Benefit
Landscaping
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, it is evident these improvements have been installed as part of the development of properties within the District or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for development of those properties. Although the District improvements are located on public streets or public areas that are typically visible and/or accessible to the general public, it is evident that the ongoing maintenance of these improvements are only necessary for the appearance and advantage of the properties within the District that are directly associated with those improvements and these improvements (particularly the level of maintenance and servicing) are not required nor necessarily desired by any properties outside the District and/or the respective Zones associated with those various improvements. It is also evident that the maintenance these improvements and the level of maintenance provided has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) only on those properties in proximity to those improvements and such maintenance beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has limited (if any) indirect or incidental benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective Zone.

Streetlights
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific lighting improvements to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, like the landscaping improvements it is evident these improvements were installed as a direct result of the development of the properties within the District or are lighting improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for the development of those properties. It is also evident that the maintenance and servicing of these improvements has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) on those properties in proximity to those street lighting improvements and these street lighting improvements are for the most part, lighting improvements that exceed what would otherwise be required for traffic circulation or to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general.

Because these lighting improvements are directly associated with the development of the properties within each respective District Zone and clearly provide a special benefit to those properties that is not shared by all properties in the City, it is certainly reasonable to conclude that the maintenance and operation of these improvements is largely, if not entirely, a special benefit to those properties to be assessed. The internal residential development streetlights are installed solely for the use and benefit of specific residential properties and there is no quantifiable general benefit to other properties or to the public at large.

The installation, maintenance, and servicing of street lighting provides the following benefits to commercial and residential properties in the District:

1. Enhances nighttime commercial, business, and residential living environment through improved visibility and related safety.

City of Cudahy Landscaping and Lighting District
Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

2. Deters nighttime vandalism and crime.

3. Improves ingress and egress to property.

4. Enhances property values, based upon Nos. 1, 2 and 3 above.

To ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for these shared streetlights, the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the budgeted regular annual maintenance expenditures (maintenance and energy costs). These general benefit costs shall be excluded from the special benefit assessment funding and not assessed to the parcels within the District.

The total calculated general benefit cost for the street lighting improvements associated with each Zone is identified in the budget Within Part III of this Report.

Similar to arterial street lights, traffic signals are located throughout the City on streets and at intersections that provide direct access to each property in the District. Like street lights (both arterial and local), it is certainly reasonable to recognize the general benefit to the public and properties in general associated with nighttime traffic safety and circulation associated with traffic signals. While these improvements are clearly required by development within the City and respective Zones, traffic signals are inherently installed in part to control traffic, not only traffic directly associated with surrounding properties (special benefit) but also general City traffic that is associated with the general public (general benefit). General traffic circulation within the City suggests that location and extent of such improvement is directly correlated to property development and such development increases traffic circulation and ultimately the spacing and number of traffic signals required to ensure proper traffic circulation to and from those properties and the overall need for such public improvements is dramatically reduced in areas with less property development. However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for traffic signal improvements, for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the budgeted regular annual maintenance expenditures (maintenance and energy costs).

Collectively these landscaping and lighting improvements and related assessments enhance the security, overall use, presentation and marketability of the properties, and ensure the long-term cost-efficiency of services that is obtained through the City provided maintenance (economy of scale), and the regulatory restrictions on future cost increases.

Assessment Methodology
Upon the successful formation of this District, the City proposes to annually levy and collect special benefit assessments commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/2026 to fund the operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements that provide special benefits to parcels within the District. The estimated annual cost to operate, maintain, and service the improvements for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 are identified in the budget section of this Report (Part III — Estimate of Costs).

To calculate and identify the proportional special benefit received by each parcel and ultimately each parcel’s proportionate share of the improvement costs it is necessary to consider not only the improvements and services to be provided, but the relationship each parcel has to those improvements as compared to other parcels in the District Article XIIID Section 4a reads in part:
“…The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or for the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” Landscaping and lighting improvements like most public improvements, provide varying degrees of benefit (whether they be general or special) based largely on the extent of such improvements, the location of the improvements in relationship to properties associated with those improvements. To establish the proportional special benefit and ultimately the assessment obligation for each parcel, these factors need to be addressed and formulated in the method of apportionment by the use of benefit zones that reflect the extent and location of the improvements in relationship to the properties, as well as the specific use of the property and characteristics that reflects each parcel’s proportional special benefit as compared to other properties that benefit from those same improvements.

The method of apportionment (method of assessment) developed for this District is based on the premise that each property to be assessed receives a particular and distinct benefit (special benefit) from the improvements, services and facilities to be financed by the District assessments and to assess benefits equitably it is necessary to calculate each property’s relative share of the special benefits conferred by the funded improvements and service. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of assessment apportionment is utilized in this District and establishes a basic unit of benefit (base value) and then calculates the benefit derived by each assessed parcel as a multiple (or a fraction) of that basic unit. This EBU method of apportioning special benefits is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of comparable property characteristics The base value and assessment formula utilized in each Zone may be different, but is established for each Zone to reflect the improvements and properties that benefit from those improvements utilizing property characteristics that may include but is not limited to the type of development (property land use), property’s development status, and size of the property (acreage or units).

For the purposes of this Engineer's Report, an EBU is the quantum of benefit derived from the various Zone improvements by a single family residential parcel. The single family residential parcel has been selected as the basic value for calculation of assessments. The “benchmark” property (the single family residential parcel) derives one EBU of benefit and is assigned 1.00 Equivalent Benefit Unit.

The following outlines the land use classifications that are associated with or may be associated with the parcels in the District and the proportional EBUs established for those land use classifications.

Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Equivalent Benefit Unit Classifications Landscaping and Traffic Lights Residential − This land use classification is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use may include, but is not limited to subdivided residential tract lots, condominiums, or other individual residential units or subdivided lots assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number. This land use classification is also defined as properties that are primarily used for residential purposes, but contain more than a single residential unit on the parcel (parcels with more than one dwelling) including apartments, duplexes, or other multi-unit structures. As previously noted, the single family residential parcel has been selected as the basic value for calculation of assessments and each is assigned 1.00 EBU per unit.

Commercial − This land use is defined as a parcel and/or development (group of parcels) that has been developed primarily with a non-residential use including, but not limited to (both publicly owned and privately owned) commercial retail or service, office or professional service, hotel or motel, manufacturing, warehousing, parking lots, and/or institutional facilities including hospitals or other medical facilities, private schools or education centers, churches or other non-profit organizations. Based on the residential development within this District, it has been determined that these planned single-family residential developments will yield approximately five (5) dwelling units per acre of land. Therefore, since the single family residential parcel (the base value for calculation of assessments) is assigned 1.0 Equivalent Benefit Unit it is reasonable and appropriate to assign the developed non-residential properties a weighted special benefit that reflects a similar and proportional development density. Therefore, the EBU assigned to each developed non-residential property is established by multiplying the parcel’s applied acreage by

5.0 EBU per acre (e.g. a developed non-residential parcel of 4.25-acres would be assigned 21.25 EBU, 4.25 acres x 5.0 EBU/acre = 21.25 EBU).

Vacant Property − This land use classification includes undeveloped properties that are identified as parcels with no development including residential and non-residential properties, undeveloped school sites, and parcels that may currently be used for agricultural purposes. It has been determined that parcels identified as Vacant Undeveloped Property shall be assigned a proportional EBU that is twenty percent (20%) of that assigned to developed properties, which is

1.0 EBU per applied acre (20% of the 5.0 EBU per acre assigned to Developed Non-Residential properties), up to a maximum of five acres per parcel or 5.0 EBU per parcel. For example, a Vacant Undeveloped Property which is 7.00-acres would be assigned 5.00 EBU [5.0 acre maximum x 1.0 EBU/acre.

Exempt Properties − Within most districts, there are lots or parcels of land that do not receive a special benefit from the improvements provided (exempt from assessment), which may include, but is not limited to public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, public rights-of-way, or utility rights-of-way; common areas; bifurcated lots; sliver parcels or any other parcel that has little or no assessed value and cannot be developed independently; parcels that are part of the improvements being maintained by the District or that the City has determined that the parcel cannot be developed. These types of parcels are considered to receive no special benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment and are assigned 0.00 EBU.

A summary of the applied Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs) for the various land use classifications for landscaping and traffic lights within the District is shown in the following table:

Land Use Class Equivalent Benefit
Unit Formula
Residential (RES) 1 EBU per Unit
Commercial (COM) 5 EBU per Acre
Vacant (VAC) 0.20 EBU per Acre
Exempt (EXE) 0 EBU
Equivalent Benefit Unit Classification Streetlighting
The cost of street lighting includes maintenance, electrical energy charges and capital replacement costs. The cost for energy and maintenance for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 was estimated for existing street lighting in the City. The cost of energy and maintenance for Southern California Edison owned streetlights is in accordance with Southern California Edison Company’s rate schedules. The cost of street lighting is assessed on a basis of benefit received, and on a specific basis of the frontage of abutting private property on public streets having streetlights.

Nationally, industry standards recommend increasing the intensity of street light illumination from the minimum level specified for local residential streets, to higher levels specified for commercial and arterial streets.

Because non-residential properties are often vacant and unattended during late night hours, they are generally more susceptible to vandalism and crime than residential properties. In addition, convenient ingress and egress is more important to non-residential properties than to residential properties, since a larger number of vehicles generally use such properties. For these reasons, non-residential properties derive a greater benefit from street lighting than residential properties.

Therefore, properties zoned for non-residential use are assessed at a higher rate than properties zoned for residential use.

In addition, the benefits of street lighting described in the benefit section of this report increase with the level of illumination of the street lighting. Atlantic Avenue is an arterial street, the level of illumination is higher on that street. Therefore, properties zoned for non-residential use with Atlantic Avenue frontage are assessed at a higher rate than those properties without Atlantic Avenue frontage. Further breakdown of assignment can be found on page 15.t.

Engineer’s Report
Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Based on the information provided on the previous page the benefit received from street lighting by any assessable lot or parcel in the City has been determined to be in accordance with the following classifications:
➢ Residential Level of Benefit.
➢ Non-residential without Atlantic Avenue Frontage Level of Benefit. ➢ Non-residential with Atlantic Avenue Frontage Level of Benefit.

The Zones of benefit are as follows:

Zone 1 Level of Benefit (residential) = 1.0
Zone 2 Level of Benefit (non-residential
without Atlantic Avenue frontage) = 1.5
Zone 3 Level of Benefit (non-residential
with Atlantic Avenue frontage) = 2.0
All lots or parcels receiving the same level of benefit have been incorporated into a zone, the boundary of which is defined by the equivalent land use zoning boundary established by the City Planning Commission, approved by the City Council, and shown on official City records. Lots or parcels presently zoned for residential land uses are deemed to receive no greater level of benefit than the residential (Zone 1) level of benefit. Similarly, lots or parcels zoned for non-residential land use without Atlantic Avenue frontage are deemed to receive no greater level of benefit than the non-residential land use without Atlantic Avenue frontage (Zone 2) level of benefit. Finally, lots or parcels zoned for non-residential land use with Atlantic Avenue frontage are deemed to receive no greater level of benefit than the non-residential land use with Atlantic Avenue frontage (Zone 3) level of benefit.

The total lighting benefit for each Zone is calculated by adding the front, side and rear footage of each property, which is used to calculate the Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) for each Zone.

The side street or rear street level of benefit to a parcel is estimated at one-half (1/2) of the parcel’s frontage level of benefit.

Part III — Estimate of Costs
Calculation of Assessments
An assessment amount per Equivalent Benefit Unit (Assessment per EBU) is calculated by taking the “Total Annual Expenses” (total budgeted costs) and subtracting the “Total Funding Adjustments” which results in the Balance to Levy.

Various “Funding Adjustments” may be applied that may include, but are not limited to:
➢ “Reserve Fund Collection/(Contribution),” represents an amount of available existing funds from the “Operational Reserve Fund Balances” being applied to pay a portion of the Special Benefit Expenses for the fiscal year.
➢ “Capital Improvement Collection/(Contribution),” represents the amount that the City will collect for any future capital improvement projects.
➢ “General Benefit Contribution,” represents 25% of the total maintenance costs required to maintain the District, an amount that the City will contribute to the District annually.

These adjustments to the Total Annual Expenses result in the net amount to be assessed “Balance to Levy;”
Total Annual Expenses – Funding Adjustments = Balance to Levy The amount identified as the “Balance to Levy” is divided by the total number of EBUs of parcels that receive special benefit per Zone to establish the Assessment Rate (“Assessment Per EBU”).

This Assessment Rate per Zone is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to calculate the parcel’s proportionate special benefit and assessment amount for the improvements.

Balance to Levy / Total EBU per Zone = Assessment Per EBU per Zone (Assessment Rate) Assessment Per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Assessment Amount District Budgets and Assessments
The budgets and assessments outlined on the following pages for the District are based on the City’s estimate of the expenses and related funding necessary for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the proposed District improvements as identified in Part I of this Report.

The budgets provided herein establishes the initial Maximum Assessment per EBU (Maximum Assessment Rates) per Zone for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 and presented to the property owners of record within the District as part of the Ballot Proceeding. Reference is hereby made to the assessment roll included herein as Part V for the individual maximum assessment amounts balloted for each parcel.

Commencing with Fiscal Year 2025/2026, the City and Assessment Engineer will develop an estimate of the cost to maintain and service the improvements to be accepted for maintenance that fiscal year as well as the reserve funding and incidental expenses associated with the improvements and operation of the District. These budgeted expenses in conjunction with the properties within the District will be utilized to establish the annual assessments (Assessment per EBU) for each Zone and the assessments to be levied and collected on the County tax rolls for each fiscal year.

Assessment Range Formula
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law.

The Brown Act defines the terms “new or increased assessment” to exclude certain conditions.

These certain conditions included “any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed.”
Recognizing that the cost of maintaining the improvements will increase over time due to inflation, the maximum assessments (initial maximum assessment amounts and maximum assessment rates established herein for Fiscal Year 2025/2026) shall include an annual inflationary adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area as of January of each succeeding year, with a maximum annual adjustment not to exceed five percent (5%). This annual adjustment provides for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to the initial maximum assessment rates to be approved by the property owners as part of the protest ballot proceeding conducted in connection with the formation of the District.

The adoption of the maximum assessment rates and the Assessment Range Formula described herein does not mean that the annual assessments will necessarily increase each fiscal year.

Although the maximum assessment rates that may be levied shall be adjusted (inflated) by the CPI each year, the actual amount to be assessed will be based on the Balance to Levy for that fiscal year. If the calculated assessment is less than the adjusted maximum assessment, then the calculated assessment may be approved by the City Council for collection. Otherwise, it would be necessary to reduce the budget or provide a contribution from the City to reduce the Balance to Levy (amount to be assessed) to an amount that can be supported by an assessment rate less than or equal to the maximum assessment rate authorized for that fiscal year.

The Assessment Range Formula (annual CPI adjustment) shall be applied to the maximum assessment rates identified in the District Budgets Establishing Maximum Assessments as presented in this Report, commencing in Fiscal Year 2026/2027 and all subsequent fiscal years unless the City Council formally suspends its application.
