MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Villalobos, City Manager
DATE: February 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Comments on Agenda Items, Meeting of February 11, 2025 ITEM 9.A. (Special Items). Recognition of Parks and Recreation Commissioner Barbie BylsmaHoughton for her 40 years of service and dedication to the City of Duarte.
ITEM 9.B. (Special Items). Community Development Department update - Community Development Director Hensley will provide an update for the council.
ITEM 9.C. (Special Items). Parks and Recreation Department update - Parks and Recreation Director Enriquez will provide an update for the council.
ITEM 12.E. (Consent Calendar). The Community Development Department has submitted the monthly report for February 2024 for review.
ITEM 12.F. (Consent Calendar). The Parks and Recreation Department has submitted the monthly report for February 2024 for review.
ITEM 12.G. (Consent Calendar). Approval of City Council Conference - WELL - Water Education for Latino Leaders 2025 Annual Conference, March 7-8, 2025, in Garden Grove, California.
ITEM 12.H. (Consent Calendar). Job Description and Salary Schedule for Maintenance Lead Worker - The Community Development Department would like to create the position of Maintenance Lead Worker in the Field Services division. This position would be higher than the Senior Maintenance Technician position and directly report to the Field Services Manager. The intention would be to promote from our existing Senior Maintenance Technician pool if and when they are qualified for this position. Based on a review of surrounding cities, having a lead worker level in Field Services is more in line with industry standards. In looking at our existing salary table and the salaries for lead workers in surrounding cities we are recommending a salary range of $5,800-$6,900. This would be an increase of approximately $2,000 to $9,000 per year depending on the salary step. It is our intention to evaluate Senior Maintenance Technicians in the future and, if appropriate, promote into this position. The Union has reviewed the job title, description and salary range and their shared suggestions and comments are included in the final recommendation. This position will be a member of the SEIU General Unit.
ITEM 12. I. (Consent Calendar). Notice of Completion Fiscal Year 2024-25 CDBG ADA Curb Ramps Project CDBG Project No. 602666-24 for CJ Construction, Inc. - On October 8th, 2024, City Council awarded the contract for Fiscal Year 2024-25 CDBG ADA Curb Ramps Project to CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. The project consisted of the removal and replacement of ramps, sidewalk, curb and gutter to become ADA compliant ramps. A total of approximately 36 ramps were improved as part of this project. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 CDBG ADA Curb Ramps Project was included in the 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program Budget and was funded by the CDBG allocation. The City Council approved the contract for $98,500.00. The final project cost was $108,187.50 which is within the approved estimated twenty-five percent (25%) contingency. There is sufficient budget allocated for this project.
ITEM 12.J. (Consent Calendar). Notice of Completion Fiscal Year 2024-25 Citywide Concrete Repair Project No. 25-3 for FS Contractors, Inc. - On September 10, 2024, City Council awarded the contract for Fiscal Year 2024-25 Citywide Concrete Repair Project to FS Contractors, Inc. The project consisted of the
removal and replacement of damaged or broken and off-grade concrete sidewalks, curb, gutters, driveway approaches, and curb ramps. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Citywide Concrete Repair Project was included in the 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program Budget and was funded by Measure M allocations. The City Council approved the contract for $147,575.00. The final project cost was $140,328.00.
ITEM 12.K. (Consent Calendar). Advance Exercise Proposal to Purchase New Fitness Center Exercise Equipment and Flooring Replacement - At the January 14, 2025, City Council Meeting, the Council approved to move forward with the capital improvement project to purchase new exercise equipment for the Duarte Fitness Center in its entirety, cardio and strength equipment, rather than spreading the project over two fiscal years (2024/25 and 2025/26). The revised approved project also includes the replacement of the weathered flooring throughout the exercise room with durable and slip-resistant fitness rubber flooring. Once the City’s order is placed and the required 50% deposit is received, Advance Exercise will provide a detailed project implementation schedule. Currently, there is a 15 to 16-week lead time for equipment delivery. Tentatively, the exercise room in the Fitness Center will need to be closed to the public for approximately three and a half weeks, with a grand reopening expected in late June, just in time to kick off the summer fitness season! A total of $35,000 is allocated in this fiscal year’s budget (100-1610-8100) for new cardio equipment. The total cost for the entire project, cardio and strength exercise equipment and flooring replacement, is $153,000, requiring a budget amendment of $118,000 under the Other Capital Improvements line (100-1610-8100).
ITEM 12.L. (Consent Calendar). Award of Contract to MIG, Inc. for Strategic Planning Services - The City of Duarte last developed a comprehensive Strategic Plan in 2016. To ensure the City’s goals and priorities remain aligned with the evolving needs of the community, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for strategic planning services was released and posted on the City’s website on November 7, 2024. Proposals were due by 6 PM on December 5, 2024. The City received two (2) proposals, one from MIG, Inc. and another from Moss Adams LLP. Both proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on responsiveness to the RFP, experience and qualifications, proposed approach, and cost. Following a thorough review, MIG, Inc. was determined to be the most qualified firm due to its extensive experience in strategic planning for local governments, its familiarity with the City, and its well-defined approach tailored to Duarte’s specific needs. MIG, Inc. has successfully conducted strategic planning services for several notable cities, including the City of Rosemead, Downey, and Cathedral City. Their proposed scope of work includes stakeholder engagement, facilitation of strategic planning workshops, data analysis, and development of a final Strategic Plan document that will guide the City’s priorities over the next five years. The period of work is scheduled from February 2025 to October 2025, with a base project cost of $65,490 and optional tasks that would increase the total cost to no more than $81,000.
ITEM 15.A. (Business Items). Appointment of City Commissioners to Fill Expired Terms - Currently, there are 11 vacancies on the City’s Commissions. The application period for these vacancies was open from December 16, 2024 through January 16, 2025. A total of 16 applicants are scheduled to be interviewed to fill the existing vacancies. The following Commission vacancies exist: 2 positions in the Planning and Economic Development Commission, 2 positions in the Parks and Recreation Commission, 2 positions in the Public Safety Commission, 2 positions in the Public Utilities, Communications and Technology Commission, and 2 positions in the Public Works and Traffic Safety Commission.
ITEM 15.B. (Business Items). Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation to Approve the Development of a Community Garden at Tzeitel Paras-Caracci Park - In 2023, in response to formal requests from residents, the City Council directed staff to explore the feasibility of establishing a community garden in one of the City’s public parks. Following this directive, staff began researching funding opportunities and ultimately chose to partner with Food Exploration and Discovery (Food Ed) to submit a grant application for California’s Urban Agriculture Grant Program, with the goal of securing funding to develop a community garden in Duarte. In March 2024, staff informed the Council that out of 214 grant
proposals, the City’s application was selected as one of 33 awarded projects under the Track 2 category of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The grant award totals $148,788, which will support the project’s infrastructure, equipment, technical assistance, workforce development, and community engagement and education through October 2026. Originally, the Duarte Community Garden was envisioned as part of the Duarte Park Revitalization Project’s conceptual plan. However, in response to community input requesting a new parking lot, the final conceptual plan for Duarte Park was adopted without the community garden. With this change, City staff collaborated with the Parks and Recreation Commission to identify some alternative locations for the garden. Based on those alternative sites and after consulting with Food Ed, the Commission approved Tzeitel Paras-Caracci Park as the new location for the garden. However, additional funds are now required to offset infrastructure costs, specifically for fencing.
This need arose when the garden's location was changed, as the original site plan did not include fencing on all four sides and therefore, this expense was not included in the proposed project budget. The garden will feature 20 plots and two ADA-accessible raised beds, available for rent at $5 per month. Community members can plant edible (excluding smokable) plants and flowers for personal, noncommercial use. It will include a storage shed with garden tools, an irrigation system promoting sustainable practices, and ADAaccessible decomposed granite pathways. Food Ed’s educational model will support gardeners of all skill levels, providing supplies and plants for beginners while experienced gardeners can use their own resources.
The garden will also offer picnic benches for community gatherings and host educational programs on topics like vegetable gardening, composting, drought-tolerant landscaping, and soil health. As the lead on this grant project, Food Ed will be responsible for building the Duarte Community Garden, including overseeing site construction, collecting infrastructure bids, contractor management, program management, community engagement and workshops/events, processing plot holder applications, plant and soil replenishment, above ground irrigation repairs, developing the garden’s webpage and branding and overall garden management through October of 2026. After that, the City will need to decide if it wishes to continue partnering with Food Ed for ongoing garden management services, which start at $17K per year. The grant award of $148,788 from the California Department of Food and Agriculture will fund most of the project’s costs through October 2026. A budget amendment of $10,000 is required to cover infrastructure costs (fencing) from the Other Capital Improvements line (100-1610-8100).
ITEM 15. C. (Business Item). Broadband Assessment - The City Council, recognizing the importance of reliable, fast, and affordable internet, directed staff to study internet availability and work on closing the community’s digital divide. On July 1, 2022, Assemblymember Blanca Rubio secured $200,000 from the State so that Duarte could develop a Broadband Access and Connectivity Infrastructure Assessment, which was formally approved by the City Council at its April 11, 2023, City Council meeting. The City awarded an agreement to Magellan to prepare the assessment. The scope of the assessment was to develop a gap analysis, identifying key issues and barriers related to addressing reliable, equitable, and affordable broadband access as well as including recommendations to fill those gaps.

Per questions made by the City Council, Director Breceda stated that the Sheriff's policy is to not participate in immigration sweeps and summarized the state penal code section that protects individuals who are a witness or victim of a crime from immigration deportation in that situation.
Mayor Garcia congratulated Barbie Bylsma-Houghton for 41 years of service; encouraged residents to attend upcoming community events; and asked the meeting be adjourned in memory of his friend, cancer fighter, and alumni of Duarte High school, Stephanie Cano.

DEVELOPMENT
Wyndham Hawthorn
Suites Hotel (1230
Huntington Drive)
This is a two-phase project with a total of 178 rooms with 72 in the first phase. Utility plans are still in process and the development team is working on resolving easement issues.
Building permits were issued in December. The applicant expects to start construction in March 2025.
Andres Duarte School This is a Duarte Unified School District (DUSD) project which entails the development of the Andres Duarte School site with a residential development. The School District has selected a developer for the development: a partnership of Adept
Development, MW Investments Group and SGV Property Fund.
The Andres Duarte school site property is 14.1 acres. The preliminary plan, acted on by DUSD, includes 169 units and preserves a portion of Otis Gordon Park. The property has a general plan and zoning of Public Facilities so any development of the property will require City Council approval.
The Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the concept for the Otis Gordon Park rebuild at its September meeting.
The EIR consultant has been hired.
The Notice of EIR preparation has been issued. Work on the EIR is in process. The City hosted an EIR Scoping Meeting on January 7 and the consultant provided an overview of the proposed environmental analysis and explained the EIR process.
BP Charging Station
2107 Huntington Dr.
Permits have been issued, and construction is in process for the new EV charging station on the property at the northeast corner of Huntington Drive and Bradbourne. This is a new style of charging station that includes several charging spaces and a lounge area for customers that are waiting for their vehicles to charge. The project should be completed by early March.
Former Nissan
Dealership
The Nissan dealership on the northeast corner of Buena Vista Street and Central Avenue has permanently closed. Staff has met with the new owner to discuss possible development of the site. The priority is for a new car dealership for the location. In the most recent discussion with the owner’s representative, it was reported that the plan is to begin marketing the property in early 2025. In the interim the property will be used for new car parking and will be well maintained.

General Projects
Working with the City of Hope on various projects in process, such as: Hope Plaza was recently completed and opened to its first patient on February 3. It is an 8 story, 350,000 square foot outpatient clinic, south of the Northeast parking structure. The City of Hope has recently submitted concept plans for a new building for pathology, radiology and oncology.
Westminster Gardens Human Good, the owner, plans for a major campus expansion and has recently filed an application. The City hired MIG to assist in the preparation of the specific plan amendment and EIR. The request is for this expansion to accommodate up to 600 total units; this includes assisted living and memory care units, and mixed use. This project will take 12+ months, but Staff has had kick off meetings with the consultant and HumanGood and there is positive progress.

Recreation Trail
Upgrades
Duarte was awarded a $1.6 million federal appropriation for accessibility and quality of life upgrades to the Donald and Bernice Watson Recreation Trail. This funding was included in the 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, thanks to
Congresswoman Napolitano. We are still waiting to receive the funds as the State manages the process for how funds will be distributed, a process that typically takes several months. In the next few months, Staff is working on finalizing paving details, looking to hire a landscape consultant to coordinate a final bid set for Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council review. An aerial survey has been completed and the concept plan is being developed. In coordinating with Cal Trans, the date that funding will be available has changed, so the project won’t go out to bid until early 2025 at the earliest.
The Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the concept plans in November.
Encanto Park Infiltration
Project
In feasibility and early design phase. Initial plan is to locate structure in the park area under the soccer field . Now that the JPA has been formed to manage construction and maintenance, the project can move forward. The design is at 60% now and the JPA will be working on developing a budget. When a final budget estimate is completed and the plans are at 90%
completion or more, City Staff and the JPA will provide City Council an update and City Staff and the JPA will start public outreach.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kristen Petersen, Director of Administrative Services SUBJECT: Job Description and Salary Schedule for Maintenance Lead Worker RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the job description and salary schedule for the position of Maintenance Lead Worker and amend the City Wide Salary Schedule
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact at this time
BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department would like to create the position of Maintenance Lead Worker in the Field Services division. This position would be higher than the Senior Maintenance Technician position and directly report to the Field Services Manager. The intention would be to promote from our existing Senior Maintenance Technician pool if and when they are qualified for this position.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Field Services Division currently has the entry level position of Maintenance Technician and the next level position of Senior Maintenance Technician. In most cities it is also very common to have a Lead Worker position above that.
The Maintenance Lead Worker position would be under the direct supervision of the Field Services Manager, performs the same skilled maintenance tasks of Senior Maintenance Technicians, but also provides functional oversight of subordinate personnel while in the field.
Based on a review of surrounding cities, having a lead worker level in Field Services is more in line with industry standards. In looking at our existing salary table and the salaries for lead workers in surrounding cities we are recommending a salary range of $5,800-$6,900. This would be an increase of approximately $2,000 to $9,000 per year depending on the salary step. It is our intention to evaluate Senior Maintenance Technicians in the future and, if appropriate, promote into this position.
The Union has reviewed the job title, description and salary range and their shared suggestions and comments are included in the final recommendation. This position will be a member of the SEIU General Unit.
Agenda Item: 12.H.
2 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the job description and salary schedule for the position of Maintenance Lead Worker.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Manuel Enriquez, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Authorizing the Purchase of a New Fitness Center Exercise Equipment and Flooring Replacement
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase contract with Advanced Exercise for new Fitness Center exercise equipment in the amount of $129,803 and 2) approve a total project budget amendment of $118,000 from the General Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $35,000 is allocated in this fiscal year’s budget (100-1610- 8100) for new cardio equipment. The total cost for the entire project, cardio and strength exercise equipment and flooring replacement, is $153,000, requiring a budget amendment of $118,000 under the Other Capital Improvements line (100-1610-8100).
BACKGROUND
At the January 14, 2025, City Council Meeting, the Council approved to move forward with the capital improvement project to purchase new exercise equipment for the Duarte Fitness Center in its entirety, cardio and strength equipment, rather than spreading the project over two fiscal years (2024/25 and 2025/26). The revised approved project also includes the replacement of the weathered flooring throughout the exercise room with durable and slip-resistant fitness rubber flooring.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Based on the revised approved project, City staff is proposing to purchase the new equipment for the Fitness Center from Advance Exercise. They are currently the only authorized commercial fitness dealer and sole source for Life Fitness cardiovascular and strength equipment, as well as Hammer Strength products and supplies in Southern California. The attached contract provides a breakdown of the City’s order, including the quantities of cardio, strength, cable strength, free weights, and training tools. It also reflects Advance Exercise’s Sourcewell contract pricing under contract number 052324-LFF.
Agenda Item: 12.K.
2 Sourcewell is a service cooperative created to provide programs and services to participating agencies in the government, education, and nonprofit sectors. Its statutory purpose is to assist these agencies in meeting specific needs which are more efficiently delivered cooperatively than by an entity individually. Sourcewell contracts are competitively solicited on behalf of Sourcewell and its participating agencies, including the City of Duarte.
In addition to the new cardio and strength equipment, the existing flooring, a mix of carpet and composition rubber, will be completely replaced with durable, slip-resistant Everlast Fitness Flooring, which is ideal for fitness environments. The estimated cost to replace the flooring throughout the entire room is $23K.
Once the City’s order is placed and the required 50% deposit is received, Advance Exercise will provide a detailed project implementation schedule. Currently, there is a 15 to 16-week lead time for equipment delivery. Tentatively, the exercise room in the Fitness Center will need to be closed to the public for approximately three and a half weeks, with a grand reopening expected in late June, just in time to kick off the summer fitness season!
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase contract with Advanced Exercise for new Fitness Center exercise equipment in the amount of $129,803 and 2) approve a total project budget amendment of $118,000 from the General Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT
A total of $35,000 is allocated in this fiscal year’s budget (100-1610-8100) for new cardio equipment. The total cost for the entire project, cardio and strength exercise equipment and flooring replacement, is $153,000, requiring a budget amendment of $118,000 under the Other Capital Improvements line (100-1610-8100).

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Brian Villalobos, City Manager
BY: Albert Nuñez, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement with MIG, Inc. to Provide Strategic Planning Services
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve a Professional Services Agreement with MIG, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $81,000 for strategic planning services and approve a budget amendment of $81,000 in the City Manager’s Professional Services account number (100-1010-7965).
FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Impact of MIG Inc.’s strategic planning services will not exceed $81,000.
BACKGROUND
The City of Duarte last developed a comprehensive Strategic Plan in 2016. To ensure the City’s goals and priorities remain aligned with the evolving needs of the community, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for strategic planning services was released and posted on the City’s website on November 7, 2024. Proposals were due by 6 PM on December 5, 2024. The City received two (2) proposals, one from MIG, Inc. and another from Moss Adams LLP.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Both proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on responsiveness to the RFP, experience and qualifications, proposed approach, and cost. Following a thorough review, MIG, Inc. was determined to be the most qualified firm due to its extensive experience in strategic planning for local governments, its familiarity with the City, and its well-defined approach tailored to Duarte’s specific needs.
MIG, Inc. has successfully conducted strategic planning services for several notable cities, including the City of Rosemead, Downey, and Cathedral City. Their proposed scope of work includes stakeholder engagement, facilitation of strategic planning workshops, data analysis, and development of a final Strategic Plan document that will guide the City’s priorities over the next five years. The period of work is scheduled from February 2025 to October 2025, with a base Agenda Item: 12.L.
2 project cost of $65,490 and optional tasks that would increase the total cost to no more than $81,000.
MIG will conduct the following activities to develop the Strategic Plan:
• One on one City Council Interviews
• Meeting with City Staff leadership team
• City Council Priority Setting Retreat
• Community and City Staff Questionnaires
• Community Tabling and Pop-up Activities
The allocated budget provides the City with the flexibility to consider some of the optional tasks proposed by MIG, Inc. These include:
● Development of an online interactive Strategic Plan Implementation Dashboard. ● A graphically designed version of the Strategic Plan for public distribution.
These optional tasks can be included at the City’s discretion as part of the overall strategic planning process.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve a Professional Services Agreement with MIG, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $81,000 for strategic planning services and approve a budget amendment of $81,000 in the City Manager’s Professional Services account number (100-1010-7965).
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Impact of MIG Inc.’s strategic planning services will not exceed $81,000.

CITY OF DUARTE
AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES (“Agreement”) is made and effective as of February 11, 2025 (“Effective Date”), by and between the City of Duarte (“City”), and Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG), a California corporation, (“Consultant”). City and Consultant may sometimes herein be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. RECITALS
The City wishes to engage the services of Consultant to provide strategic planning services as described further in this Agreement. Consultant wishes to provide all such services and has the necessary expertise and competency to provide such services.
2. TERM
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain and continue in effect until June 30, 2026, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
The term may be extended upon execution of a written amendment between the Parties.
3. SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE
A. In compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, Consultant shall provide services more particularly described in the “Scope of Services,” which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as Exhibit A. The services may be referred to herein as the “Services” or “Work.” In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of Exhibit A and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
B. As a material inducement to City entering into this Agreement, Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant is a provider of first-class work and services, and Consultant is experienced in performing the type of work and services contemplated herein. The minimum standard of care for all professional services performed or furnished by Consultant under this Agreement will be the care and skill ordinarily used by members of the subject profession practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in the same locality. Consultant represents that the Services will be performed by Consultant or under its direct supervision, and that all personnel engaged in such Work shall be fully qualified and shall be authorized and permitted under applicable Federal, State, and local law to perform such Work. Consultant shall pay all wages, salaries, and other amounts due to such personnel in connection with their performance of the Services and as required by law
C. The experience, knowledge, capability, and reputation of Consultant, its principals, and employees were a substantial inducement for City to enter into this Agreement. Therefore,
2671/012225-0101
18679307.4 a01/27/25
-2-
without the prior written approval of City, which may be given or withheld at City’s sole and absolute discretion, Consultant shall not (i) contract with any other entity to perform in whole or in part the Services required hereunder; or (ii) transfer, assign, convey, or encumber (voluntarily or by operation of law) any or all of this Agreement.
D. Consultant shall obtain and maintain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits, and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the Services required by this Agreement prior to the commencement of Services. Consultant shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments, and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for Consultant’s performance of the Services, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and its elected and appointed officials, boards, members, officers, agents, representatives, employees, and volunteers (“City Personnel”) against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties, or interest levied, assessed, or imposed against City related to the Services.
E. Consultant shall provide all Services rendered hereunder in accordance with all ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, and regulations of City and any Federal, State, or local governmental agency having jurisdiction in effect at the time Service is rendered. Each and every provision required by law to be included in this Agreement shall be deemed to be included, and this Agreement shall be read and enforced as though they were included.
F. Consultant shall assume all costs arising from the use of patented or copyrighted materials, including, but not limited to, equipment, devices, processes, and software programs, used or incorporated in the Services or Work performed by Consultant under this Agreement.
Pursuant to Paragraph 7, Consultant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to City), and hold City and City Personnel harmless from any and all suits, actions, or proceedings of every nature for or on account of the use of any patented or copyrighted materials.
G. Consultant shall not subcontract the performance of any of the Services without the prior written approval of City.
H. The Parties have determined that prevailing wage laws do not apply to this Agreement because the Services do not include construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work or are other otherwise exempt under California’s prevailing wage laws (California Labor.

18679307.4 a01/27/25

in Exhibit A. In City’s sole and absolute discretion, prior to effecting a suspension or termination pursuant to this subparagraph (A), City may first serve upon Consultant a written notice of the default specifying the default and the amount of time that Consultant shall have to cure, correct, or remedy the default.

B. Consultant may terminate this Agreement only due to a material breach by City, and only upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City which notice shall specify the material default. Upon receipt of such notice, City may, but shall not be obligated to, effect to remedy such default, which remedy will cause the notice of termination to no longer apply, and this Agreement to continue in effect.
7. RECORDS AND OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
A. Consultant shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to costs, expenses, receipts, and other such information required by City that relate to the performance of Services under this Agreement.

Consultant shall provide such items to City promptly upon completion of this Agreement. City acknowledges that such Work Product is not intended or represented to be suitable for use unless completed by Consultant, or for use or reuse by City or others on extensions of the Services or Work under this Agreement, or for any other use or purpose, without written verification or adaptation by Consultant. Any such use, reuse, or any modification of the Work Product, without written verification, completion, or adaptation by Consultant, as appropriate for the specific purpose intended, will be at City’s sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to Consultant or to its officers, directors, members, partners, agents, employees, and consultants.

8. INDEMNIFICATION
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, except as set forth in subparagraph (B), Consultant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to City), and hold harmless City and City Personnel from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, claims, demands, judgments, attorneys’ fees, costs, damages, losses, penalties, obligations, expenses, or liabilities (“Claims”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person or entity arising out of, or pertaining to, Consultant’s negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct, whether or not there is concurrent active or passive negligence on the part of City and/or any City Personnel, but excluding any Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City or any City Personnel. Consultant shall defend any action or actions filed in connection with any such claims or liabilities, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith. Consultant shall promptly pay any judgment rendered against City or any City Personnel for any such claims or liabilities. In the event City and/or any City Personnel is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted for any such Claims arising out of or in connection with the Work being performed or Services being provided under this Agreement, Consultant shall pay to City any and all costs and expenses incurred by City or City Personnel in such action or proceeding, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees. Consultant’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by City in direct proportion to the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault. Consultant’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury, or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability, or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury, or arbitrator having made a determination of Consultant’s percentage of fault, the Parties agree to mediation with a neutral third-party to determine Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost requirement owed to City.
B. The provisions of this subparagraph (B) apply only if Consultant is a “design professional” within the meaning of California Civil Code section 2782.8(c). If Consultant is a “design professional,” within the meaning of Section 2782.8(c), then notwithstanding subparagraph (A), to the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, California Civil Code sections 2782 and 2782.6), Consultant shall defend (with legal counsel acceptable to City), indemnify, and hold harmless City and City Personnel from and against any Claim that arises out of, pertains to, or relates to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant, any sub-consultant, subcontractor, or any other person directly or indirectly employed by them, or any person that any of them control, arising out of Consultant’s performance of any task or Service for or on behalf of City under this Agreement.
Such obligations to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify City or any City Personnel, shall not apply to the extent that such Claims are caused, in part, by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City or City Personnel. Consultant’s cost to defend City and/or City Personnel against any such Claim shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault with respect to that Claim; however, pursuant to California Civil Code section 2782.8(a), in the event that one or more of the defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, Consultant shall meet and confer with City (and, if applicable, other parties) regarding any unpaid defense costs. To the extent Consultant has a duty to indemnify City
2671/012225-0101
18679307.4 a01/27/25
-6-
or any City Personnel under this subparagraph (B), Consultant shall be responsible for all incidental and consequential damages resulting directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Consultant’s negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct.
C. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether arising out of this Agreement or otherwise) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s negligent acts, errors, omissions, or willful misconduct, in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. City in its sole and absolute discretion, may withhold any payment due to Consultant, without liability for interest, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or withhold shall not act as a waiver of Consultant’s obligation to pay City any sums Consultant owes City.
9. INSURANCE
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification obligations of City as set forth in this Agreement, and prior to the commencement of Work, Consultant shall obtain, provide, and maintain, at its own expense, during the entire term of this Agreement including any extension thereof, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described in Exhibit C and in a form satisfactory to City.
A. No Work or Services under this Agreement shall commence until Consultant has provided City with Certificates of Insurance evidencing the required insurance coverages and said Certificates of Insurance are reasonably approved by City. Certificates are to reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30) days’ written notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. In the event any of said policies of insurance are reduced in limits or cancelled for any reason, Consultant shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance.
B. The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar law will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials, and agents.
C. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.
D. The City’s Director of Administrative Services shall have the authority to adjust or amend the insurance requirements in Exhibit C of this Agreement so long as such amendment or adjustment is agreed to in writing by the Parties.

• Summary of key findings and discussion points (MS Word Document) and wallgraphic (PDF)
1.5 Community and City StaI Questionnaires
MIG will design a web-based questionnaire focusing on understanding the community’s ideas for the future of Duarte. The questionnaire will balance aspirational questions to learn about the community’s vision and what they think makes Duarte special, with more specific prompts to elicit feedback about issues, concerns, and opportunities that are important to residents, businesses, and visitors. Once approved by the City Project Management Team, MIG will translate the questionnaire to Spanish. MIG will provide a digital file for the City to produce print copies and place at public facilities and local businesses. MIG will design a digital City staS or volunteers will be responsible for entering the responses of any paper copies of the questionnaire into the digital platform. The City Project Management Team will review and provide feedback on the draft questionnaire.
MIG will adapt the community questionnaire to develop one designed to engage City staS about their thoughts and recommendations related to the City’s draft vision, mission, strategic issue areas and goals. The questionnaire will also gather input about what City employees value about working in Duarte, how they see their work as part of the larger organization, learn about how they see the strengths and challenges of their department
MIG, Inc.
January 22, 2025
4 and the larger organization of the City, and what their vision for the City looks like going forward. MIG will provide a draft set of questions for review by the City Project Management Team, following the first Executive Management Team Meeting and City Council retreat.
Once approved, the City Project Management Team will share the link with City staS.
MIG will provide charts and graphs and the raw data of the questionnaire results for the Community and StaS Questionnaires. Findings from these results will be used to inform the draft Vision, Mission and Strategic Issue Areas.
Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Community and City StaS Questionnaire (MS Word) • Digital Link to Questionnaires
• Digital file Community Questionnaire (English and Spanish) • Charts and graphs of results (MS Word Document)
• Community and City StaS Questionnaire Raw Data (Excel data file)
1.6 Community Tabling and Pop-up Activities
MIG proposes a set of three (3) pop-up outreach events to publicize the City’s strategic planning process and gather input from Duarte community members and business owners about their vision for the City of Duarte in 2050, and their needs and ideas for the future.
MIG will develop an interactive activity to elicit feedback from the community. A QR code will be prominently displayed to direct people to the community visioning questionnaire.
Paper copies of the questionnaire will also be available for those who feel more comfortable providing their responses in written form. Activities might include pop-ups at the farmers market, community center, library, high school, shopping centers, downtown, and other key community locations and events. Two MIG staS will be present at each event.
MIG will integrate the themes heard at these events into the Vision statement, Strategic Issue Areas, and Goal Statements.
Deliverables:
• Pop-Up Activity Attendance (2 MIG StaS at 3 events)
Phase 2: Strategic Plan Framework
The Strategic Plan Framework is the organizing structure for the Strategic Plan document. It includes the Vision and Mission statements which are used to define the direction of work under the plan. The Strategic Plan Framework also includes a set of measurable goals,
MIG, Inc.
January 22, 2025
5 defined in this document as Strategic Issue Areas, which serve as the broad themes of the work the city hopes to or needs to focus on going forward. A Goal Statement helps to define what the City intends to achieve for each of the Strategic Issue Areas. What we learn from the City Council Priority Setting Retreat and the City StaS Meeting, as well as from all of the activities in Phase 1, will inform the development of the Strategic Plan Framework.
Developing additional Strategic Plan elements, such as department-level goals, and the benchmarks, projects, initiatives and timetable that will be a part of the City’s implementation plan, take place in Phases 2 and 3.

Re: Proposal for the City of Duarte Strategic Planning Services Dear Andres Rangel and Selection Committee Members:
The time is now to develop a new and lasting vision for the City of Duarte that incorporates recent efforts to plan for a town center along Huntington Drive, and new community amenities near the Metro L line station and in the Westminster senior living community, all of which have been supported by MIG. The City must also consider and address ongoing community needs related to affordable housing access, neighborhood safety, attracting new businesses and well-paying jobs for residents, and supporting youth and seniors, among many other issues affecting municipalities in the region. A deeply rooted and committed City Council can lay the groundwork for a visionary plan that builds upon its motto as the “City of Health,” and determine what the Duarte of the future will be known for.
Thank you for considering MIG, Inc., as your consultant to lead the development of the City’s Strategic Plan. We are passionate about the role strategic planning can play to: measurably improve cities and organizations; to better advance their missions and achieve desired outcomes; and invigorate and unite City leadership, staff, and community members around a clear and meaningful path forward.
MIG has extensive experience working with cities, municipal agencies, and other organizations with limited budgets yet expansive to-do lists. If selected, MIG will facilitate a strategic planning process that engages City leaders, department staff, and community members in authentic and consequential conversations about constructing and operationalizing a visionary strategic plan for the next decade and beyond. Our proposed scope includes visioning and goal setting activities with the City Council and community members, as well as work sessions with City leaders and their teams to think collaboratively about how to streamline work activities, improve service delivery, and deliver on the key priorities of the City, all while understanding the need to adhere to the budget.
MIG will help to produce a plan that provides clear direction, supports synergies and cost savings, gets results, and strengthens the City’s commitments to service, community, quality of life, and fiscal responsibility. Our approach to strategic planning is collaborative, flexible, and creative. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you to strategically align an approach that will create a harmonious fit with your planning needs.
We are committed to perform the work as scheduled. The cost proposal included in this proposal will remain valid for a minimum period of 30 days. I will be MIG’s primary point of contact for the City regarding this proposal and all project-related matters to be managed from our Pasadena office. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at 626-744-9872, ext. 3010, or [email protected]. We look forward to this exciting opportunity with the City of Duarte.
Sincerely,
Esmeralda García

See the Plan here
The City of Downey is situated in the heart of Los Angeles County where residents enjoy local amenities, diverse shopping, and entertainment options while being in proximity to regional destinations. In 2012, the Downey City Council established five goal areas to organize the City’s priorities for the coming years—Fiscal Responsibility; Economic Vibrancy; Efficiency and Adaptability; Quality of Life, Safety and Infrastructure; and Public Engagement. Ten years on, these themes continue to provide a framework for City leadership as Downey looks at new ways to improve and innovate City services, promote the City as a destination, support a family-centered community, and remain on sound financial footing. Looking toward 2030, the City Council and department leaders decided the time was right to identify a shared community vision, confirm City goals, and clarify priorities to propel Downey forward into the next decade.
Working with Downey officials, decision-makers, and stakeholders, MIG developed a strategic plan to guide the City’s activities for the next five years. The Downey Strategic Plan serves as a tool to keep City initiatives, strategies, and projects to meet Council priorities, and keep the overall City government is accountable in meeting community needs. The plan is also integrated with the City’s annual budget development, the capital project planning process, and other plans and programs to align strategies with resources to deliver successful outcomes.
The success of the Downey Forward 2030 Strategic Plan is a testament to the active participation and feedback from the community. From January to June 2024, MIG engaged with the City Council, community members, businesses, and City department leaders through interviews, working sessions, community events, and employee and community surveys.
Through these outreach efforts, MIG gathered diverse perspectives that shaped this plan. MIG joined several community events to talk to Downey residents, and business owners about their vision for the future of the City and held several working sessions with City department leaders to discuss their work and needs to continue to successfully serve the community. All members of the Downey community were invited to take an online survey, asking what was important to them and how they saw the future of the City.

See the Plan here
In November 2022, Cathedral City began an inclusive and collaborative process to solicit input from the community, City Council, and City staff for development of its 5-Year Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is the product of education and solicitation of City Council thoughts and priorities, City staff review and collaboration, and community opinions and preferences. Department work programs include action plans, projects, and initiatives to support and achieve Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives—Serving the Community with Pride and Dedication; Community Investment; Fiscal Stability and Sustainability; Innovation; Safety; and Embracing an Inclusive City. Broad performance metrics are also identified to track progress and measure achievement of desired outcomes.
In addition to assisting with development of the Strategic Plan, MIG was asked to provide facilitation services for its preparation. The broad outreach and collaborative process of gathering important inputs and data, informed development of the Strategic Plan. Important "inputs" incorporated into the visioning and goal-setting efforts involved: assessing the current business climate, demographic changes and trends, new and/or emerging legal and regulatory mandates, challenges and opportunities created by current and emerging technologies, legislative mandates, and evolving customer needs and expectations. The MIG team conducted a series of activities to educate City leadership and staff on the primary elements of a strategic plan and the importance of having a long-term perspective for service delivery and budgeting. Feedback from an objective, scientifically based community survey was central to this effort and served to inform and validate community attitudes towards City services; public infrastructure; and resident priorities, opinions, and concerns. The collective input and themes that emerged from the Community Survey and workshops conducted with City Leadership, Executive Management, and City operations staff, resulted in review and affirmation of the City’s existing Mission Statement as well as the development of Values, Vision, Goals, and Objectives.
The City Council unanimously approved the 5-Year Strategic Plan in April 2023.

IMPLEMENTATION
Implementing our Strategic Plan will involve all of us.
City Council will guide, and City Management Team will direct this process— Directors will coordinate and be responsible for implementing the work of each goal relevant to their department.
During each year of this Plan, the City Management Team will meet bimonthly to review actions and progress toward the Plan’s goals. City leadership will report to the City Council on a biannual basis on progress, and will coordinate a review of the Strategic Plan every two years to report back to the Rosemead community and revise and update the Plan as needed.

The City of Rosemead, a diverse and multilingual contract city in West San Gabriel Valley, prides itself on its small town feel and commitments to quality public services, fiscal responsibility, and being a welcoming and inclusive community. In 2009, the Rosemead City Council developed a strategic plan with broad community input that described the collective vision and values of the City and organized the City’s work into several priority areas, including improving and expanding City services and infrastructure, making the City a destination for business, and leading with a sound fiscal policy for a contract City with finite resources.
The beginning of a new decade and new City Council members provided an opportunity to revisit the themes and goals of Vision 2020 and imagine Rosemead forward into the next decade to 2030. MIG developed a strategic planning process to revisit and expand upon the current values and goals that drive the City’s work, centering the vision and priorities of the City Council, as well as department leaders, staff, and the community. During the height of the pandemic, MIG facilitated visioning workshops with the Council, held a pop-up workshop at the farmer’s market, supported a social media campaign, and developed two digital questionnaires asking employees, residents, and stakeholders what mattered most to them about safety, the economy, infrastructure, and public services, and what they imagined the City would look like in 10 years.
MIG facilitated several work sessions with an expanded City leadership team, which allowed frontline staff to share in discussions about the future of their work and take an integrated approach, often across departments, about what the City could do to fulfill its goals, especially given limited funds and staff time. MIG synthesized the proposals from these sessions with City Council member priorities and broader community feedback into the Strategic Plan with eight goal areas, each with priority actions to be implemented by department leads over short-, medium-, and long-range timeframes in the next decade.

MIG worked with the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) to develop a strategic plan that will guide the agency’s work over the next three to five years.
C/CAG is a hub for local decision-makers. Half of all the elected officials in San Mateo County serve on C/CAG’s Board or Committees, creating a unique forum for countywide collaboration on issues that impact quality of life—including transportation, land use and airport compatibility, stormwater management, and energy and environment/climate. Yet, with a small staff, a growing list of priorities, and ongoing funding challenges, C/CAG’s capacity is stretched.
MIG led a formal strategic planning process to re-examine C/CAG’s purpose, priorities, policy directions, and organizational structure. Recognizing that C/CAG’s strength lies in its ability to build consensus among a diverse range of players, the Strategic Plan is focused on advancing shared values, including equity, collaboration, innovation, and sustainability. The Strategic Plan outlines five key goals, each accompanied by ongoing responsibilities, specific objectives, and performance measures:
» Transportation: Plan, fund, implement, and maintain a robust multimodal transportation system that is safe, connected, equitable, accessible, and environmentally sustainable. » Stormwater Management: Manage stormwater as a resource, meet Regional Stormwater Permit requirements, and reduce climate risk through promotion of green infrastructure and an integrated watershed management approach.
» Energy, Environment, and Climate: Support water and energy conservation efforts and improve environmental quality and community resilience to climate change throughout San Mateo County.
» Land Use and Airport Compatibility: Meet the County’s housing and economic development goals while addressing airport safety impacts.
» Finance and Administration: Secure adequate funding and maintain effective organizational systems to support C/CAG’s mission.
Outreach for the Strategic Plan involved gathering input from a diverse group of stakeholders, including C/CAG staff, management, the Board, and community partners. This collaborative approach allowed the Plan to reflect a broad range of perspectives and needs.
C/CAG Strategic Plan
City/County Association of Governments of San
Mateo County (C/CAG) is proud to present its first-ever Strategic Plan. The 2024-2029 Strategic Plan sets a
clear and actionable roadmap for C/CAG, focusing on
critical areas that affect the quality of life in San Mateo County. Through targeted goals, strategic initiatives,
and strong partnerships, C/CAG is committed to
driving positive change, addressing current and future
challenges, and ensuring a resilient and prosperous
future for all communities within the County.
Created with the guidance and input of many
stakeholders—including C/CAG members, staff, and
community partners—the Strategic Plan highlights
C/CAG’s commitment to collaborative, sustainable, and
equitable solutions for countywide challenges. Through
the planning process, C/CAG conceptualized, defined,
and organized its purpose, charge, and priorities for the next five years. At the core of the process is the Strategic Plan Framework, which lays out the organization’s
mission, core values, and vision statements.
The Strategic Plan will be reviewed biennially by
the C/CAG Board to assess progress, identify
challenges, and make necessary adjustments.
A detailed work plan template will be used
by C/CAG staff to monitor and report on the
implementation of goals and objectives, ensuring
accountability and alignment with long-term
strategies.
C/CAG invites all San Mateo County
stakeholders—including residents, communitybased organizations, local governments, and funders—to actively engage with its initiatives.
Participation in Board and committee meetings,
advocacy, collaboration on local projects, and
staying informed through the C/CAG website are
encouraged. By working together, we can create a
sustainable, thriving future for San Mateo County.
Executive Summary
Mission, Vision, and Core Values
CORE VALUES
MISSION
C/CAG provides a collaborative forum
for all jurisdictions in San Mateo County
to pursue our goals for a safe, equitable,
and accessible multi-modal transportation
network and an environmentally
sustainable, climate resilient future.
VISION

mobility, climate-resilient infrastructure,
clean energy, and balanced land use, while
achieving equitable outcomes and improved
quality of life for San Mateo County’s diverse
communities.
Collaboration – We work together to
improve quality of life in San Mateo County.
Transparency – We are open and accessible
in all our communications and actions.
Equity – We take concrete steps to address
the needs of underserved communities.
Sustainability – We commit to meeting the
needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.
Innovation – We are driven by continuous
improvement.
Building on these foundational elements, the Strategic Plan articulates five goals, as well as ongoing responsibilities, specific objectives, and performance measures.
1. Transportation
Plan, fund, implement, and maintain a robust multimodal transportation system that is safe, connected, equitable, accessible, and environmentally sustainable.
3. Energy, Environment, and Climate
Support water and energy conservation efforts and improve environmental quality and community resilience to climate change throughout San Mateo County.
4. Land Use and Airport Compatibility
Meet the County’s housing and economic development goals while addressing airport safety impacts.
5. Finance and Administration
Secure adequate funding and maintain effective organizational systems to support C/CAG’s mission.
2. Stormwater Management
Manage stormwater as a resource, meet Regional Stormwater Permit requirements, and reduce climate risk through promotion of green infrastructure and an integrated watershed management approach

San Mateo County
In Phase 1 of the strategic planning process, the Project Team assessed the current conditions of San Mateo County, projected trends, and future priorities of C/CAG stakeholders, including Board and committee members, staff, and partner organizations.
Through a series of interviews, focus groups, surveys, workshops, and other conversations, stakeholders identified several critical issues affecting San Mateo County and the broader Bay Area region, many of which require a convening organization like C/CAG to help coordinate and address. Below is a brief look at these issues, challenges, and opportunities as they relate to C/CAG key work areas, including land use, transportation, stormwater management, and climate resilience.
Over the coming decades, the number
of residents and jobs in the County and
broader Bay Area region is projected
to grow substantially. San Mateo County
is home to many major employers in biotech,
information technology, and professional and
business services. Many of the industry sectors
driving the current regional economy are expected
to continue to grow, adding more jobs in San
Mateo County communities and across the Bay
Area region. The Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (MTC)’s Plan Bay Area 2050 projects
that San Mateo County communities will gain an
additional 90,000 jobs by 2050—total employment
in the County is projected to top 500,000 jobs by
that time. MTC also projects that the number of
households in San Mateo County could grow by
half (49%) by 2050, due in large part to expected
job growth.1
This means additional pressures on
an already strained housing market, roads, and
infrastructure, and on commute times.
Managing the growing commute will
be vital to help current residents, and
especially low-income residents of
color, stay in their communities. The
pandemic slowed and temporarily reversed the
levels of traffic congestion experienced by San
Mateo County commuters, some of whom travel
on roads with the greatest amounts of congestion
in the entire Bay Area region. Recent U.S. Census
estimates show that nearly one in five workers (19%)
who live in San Mateo County may be working
from home at least part of the workweek.2
But
equity analyses in recent C/CAG reports highlight
the growing disparities in commute times—lower
wage workers of color, who are more likely working
in-person service positions and have fewer options
outside of driving based upon their work schedules
and home and job locations, are spending more
time getting to work than white workers. Longer
commutes persist even for workers of color with
higher incomes and educational backgrounds,
likely due to the residential patterns of communities
which require workers of color to commute longer

Project Understanding and Approach
Like many cities of its size, Duarte is experiencing a
housing affordability crisis and growth among residents who are aging in place (one in five Duarte residents
are seniors). There are needs for more walkable
neighborhoods and climate resilient infrastructure, and for continued financial resilience to meet the needs of the community and to continue to provide the services
residents and families expect and rely upon.
With strong, committed leadership from the City Council and among department managers, this is a pivotal
time for the City to clarify the priorities and goals that will propel Duarte forward into the next decades. To
facilitate this expansion, MIG proposes a strategic
planning process grounded in a common vision for
Duarte laid out by the City Council, community members
and City staff. MIG will lead several activities to learn more about the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing the City in the coming decades and facilitate
working sessions with City Council members and City
staff to develop the framework to address the key
segments of work ahead.
The City of Duarte is beginning a process to develop
a five-year Strategic Plan, which will align the work of the City with the vision and priorities of City Council members and ensure that activities respond to the
current and future needs of the Duarte community.
City leaders have spent the better part of the last two decades fulfilling the vision and priorities set out in Duarte’s General Plan, which was adopted in 2007 and
included plans for a new town center and development
near the Metro light rail station. Now that these and
other specific plans are in place and several updates
have been made to Elements of the General Plan, it is
time to consider how the City moves forward together
to address and support the community’s plans for a
stronger sense of place, walkable neighborhoods,
family- and senior-friendly housing, and world class
schools and community programming.
Duarte is notable for its size, diversity, and commitments to service and to representation. More than half of the Council are proud alumni of Duarte High School, and
others have children who have graduated from or attend
Duarte schools. This is a close-knit community where
generations of family members put down roots. Monthly
newsletters promote a wide array of exciting activities and community building events for kids, teens, families and seniors.
14 City of Duarte | Strategic Planning Services
This process will rely on City leaders and community
members to guide a goal-setting process. It will include multiple methods to engage City leadership, staff, and
community members, as well as proposed optional
activities to reach additional residents, organizations, business and more, with a consideration to equitably
engage community members across the diverse
geographies that make up the city. MIG will organize
and facilitate two working sessions with the City Council and three sessions with City staff to develop the
Strategic Issue Areas and related goals, the strategies and actions to address and reach these goals, and the
metrics and implementation plan needed to make this
future a reality.
MIG understands the importance of aligning this
process with other current work at the City, including
planning for Fiscal Year 2025/2026, implementing
the recently approved Housing Element Update and
Specific Plans, and ensuring that internal City work
streams are efficient and effective. MIG brings an
experienced team who can advise City leadership on
potential organization practices to improve efficiency
and communication. MIG will also draw from lessons
learned and community priorities laid out in recent
planning efforts.
Our proposed scope of work is designed to create
synergies where possible between departments and
planning activities, operationalize the City’s priority work goals, and complete the Strategic Plan to meet the City’s decision-making timeline.

Scope of Services and Methodology
1.2 City Council Interviews (7)
The City Project Management Team will organize
seven (7) one-hour one-on-one phone and/or digital
platform interviews with City Council members. The
purpose of these sessions will be to identify strengths, issues, and future vision(s) for Duarte. The interviews will also explore council members’ priority initiatives and projects, and their ideas related to improving
the internal processes of the city. MIG will develop
the questions in coordination with the City’s Project
Management Team. City staff will extend the invitations and coordinate scheduling the phone calls. MIG will
conduct the interviews and consolidate the findings
from all the interviews into a summary that includes
high level themes. These findings will be included in the Environmental Scan (Task 1.7).
Deliverables:

1.3 Community Focus Groups (5)
The City Project Management Team will organize five (5) one-hour long digital platform focus groups of three to five people each, to gather the priorities and vision of key stakeholder groups in Duarte. Focus groups provide
an opportunity to collect input from a diverse and
targeted group of community members who represent
and can discuss some of the key issues and challenges
affecting the City, in a focused and safe space which
can support candid conversations and ideas about the
future.
Suggested focus groups include members of the
Chamber of Commerce and other local business
owners; young people; seniors; community service
organizations; and government/public agency partners.
The City Project Management Team will determine
the invite list for these focus groups, and City staff will extend the invitations and coordinate scheduling of
the focus groups, which will occur via Zoom or another
digital platform.
