5. PRESENTATIONS
5.A Sewer Master Plan Presentation
- Director of Public Works, Allan Rigg introduced Ryan Orgill of Carollo Engineers who gave the first Sewer Master Plan PowerPoint presentation for the City of Gardena.
Mayor Cerda asked if anyone asked to speak on this item and if the Council had any comments or questions.
No public comments.
Mayor Pro Tem Francis thanked Mr. Orgill for the thorough presentation and is glad to see it because she inquired about it several council meetings ago. She asked if the existing pipeline is being rehabilitated and are new features being added in so that everything will flow c orrectly; she then asked the following questions: if the additional sewer pipelines being added or being made bigger to carry more flow ; what does an upgrade look lik e. Mr. Orgill explained the extensive analysis project in detail and answered all questions.
Council Member Henderson stated he enjoyed the presentation and asked the following questions regarding the smoke testing results : if some of the results end up on private property, how will the municipality handle it; will a reminder be sent to fix th e inflow . Director of Public Works, Allan Riggs stepped in and gave an explanation of the sewer system and answered all questions.
Council Member Tanaka asked if the entire plan would entail the future of our infrastructure to make sure that what we do now takes care of the future. Director Rigg and Mr. Orgill confirmed, yes, that is correct.
Council Member Love asked about the cost difference between year one, why such a big difference between the first set of work and then the next 10 years? Mr. Orgill explained and answered the questions.
Mayor Cerda asked about the illegal ways that some of the pipelines are done in other cities similar to ours in size, what do you normally notice in percentage? Mr.
Orgill explained and answered the questions.
Mayor Cerda thanked Mr. Orgill for the informative presentation.
5.B Gardena Events Video Presentation - There was no video presentation.
Mayor Cerda made a motion to take Oral Communications out of order.
3 11. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
1) Samantha Myles; Tiffany Jenkins; Kapria Allen; Claudia Garcia; Donetta Bell; Renee Segura; Jose Sanchez and Jacqueline Akiyama - All express their gratitude and experiences with the Gardena Family Child Care Program and staff members. Also, all were asking the City to reconsider eliminating the program.
2) Andrea Simental – Interim Manager for the Mayme Dear Library; she came to announce library events for Gardena Mayme Dear Library.
Mayor Cerda asked City Attorney Vasquez to read the GFCC statement below to provide clarification.
The Gardena Family Child Care Program also known as GFCC is a State- funded Family Care Child Care Home Education Network Program providing quality subsidized childcare services for families, who live work or attend school training in Gardena. The city does not operate Child Care under the GFCC program but is intermediary for the states Family Care Child Care Home Education Network Program that refers clients and facilitates the payment to 21 home- based childcare providers and has about 150 children in GFCC, because of the city’s involvement with the program the City has potential liability exposure from abuse and sexual molestation cases arising from any of the GFCC providers. The provider’s current contract includes a $ 1 million abuse and sexual molestation liability insurance coverage requirement and that has been in effect since August of 2020. In May of 2022, the insurance broker notified the City that the carrier would continue to offer the policy, but the effective rates had doubled. A year later in March 2023 the insurance broker notified the city that the carrier would no longer offer the policy that met the City’s insurance requirements, subsequently the broker searched for alternative carriers, but they were not successful in finding a replacement carrier. We
suspect that several factors contributed to the cancellation of the policy , including recent changes in the law, due to the lack of insurance coverage to protect the city from potential sexual molestation and abuse claims the City has decided not to renew the City’s contract with the state and with GFCC providers. The state is actively working on finding another contractor to take over the funding that would partner with the providers to continue providing services to families with children’s needs. We will continue working closely with the state and the providers during this transition.
Mayor Cerda stated that she will direct our City Manager to set up a meeting with the City Attorney and invite all providers and any parents who would like to attend and partake in a discussion, and possibly help solve this problem.
Mayor Cerda resumed the order of the Council Meeting with Proclamations.

Council Member Love thanked GTRANS for their Outreach being heard on the radio. Lastly, she stated: It saddens me to have to make this statement. I want the public to know that when you become an elected, there is no handbook, there is no manual, there is no one to take you by your hand and introduce you to the department heads and give you instructions on how to do this job. You win your election; you’re certified; swear in and you take a seat. At that point you either know how to swim or you will sink. I ran three elections to win the seat. I didn’t win this seat to become complacent and fall in line. The level of disrespect on t his council from some of my colleagues has been ridiculous. I’ve tolerated. During council meetings, I’ll get messages saying how you’re doing a great job. Keep it up. We’re here to serve the public. No we’re not gonna always agree. We shouldn’t always agree that’s not a good thing, but when we disagree, can we disagree respectfully? I understand that my name and my reputation, per what certain staff members thought of me, met me here when I came. I want to thank those staff members that have gotten to know me since I’ve been elected. They’ve gotten to know the real Wanda. Who I am and what I’m about. So, why am I saying this? Because enough is enough! You don’t have to agree with me. I’m not here to be agreed with all the time. But I do expect the same level of respect that everyone else on this council receives. So ends my report.

Two-unit developments are only permitted in the Single- Family Residential (R -1) zone.
Therefore, Ordinance No. 1857 would amend Chapter 18.12 of the Gardena Municipal Code to provide clarification to terms definitions, allowance for demolition of existing structures, required lot area size, minimum units sizes, height requirements, required setbacks, and clarification to other development requirements.
State law only allows for local agencies to apply objective standards, which includes design standards, to units developed under SB 9, if it does not physically preclude the development. Table 1 shows the proposed objective design standards for two- unit developments as drafted in Ordinance No. 1857.

AGENDA TITLE:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDENA,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE CODE AS SET FORTH IN TITLE 32 OF THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY CODE BY REFERENCE AND FINDING THE ACTION
EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
PURSUANT TO THE COMMON SENSE EXEMPTION OF CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that Council introduce Ordinance No. 1855 and set a public hearing for July 11, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
The California Health and Safety Code requires that the City adopt the same building standards as those contained in the California Building Standards Code with the exception that the City may establish more restrictive building standards as reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, and/or topographic conditions. Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5 requires that all City amendments, together with the State Building Standards Code, become effective 180 days after the publication of the State Building Standards Code, or at a later date established by the Building Standards Commission (Commission).
The Code went into effect on earlier this year.
Based on an initiative measure from 1999, the City is required to adopt the same version of the Los Angeles County Fire Code. The County only recently told the City that it had adopted the 2023 Los Angeles County Fire Code and requested the City act accordingly in adopting the Code. (See attachment A.) The County’s Fire Code incorporates by reference the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
with certain changes and amendments, which itself largely incorporates by reference, with certain changes and amendments, the 2021 Edition of the International Fire Code. A copy of the County Fire Code is on file in the Community Development Department and may also be accessed online at https://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/bos/supdocs/177579,pdf
This ordinance adopts by reference, with certain changes and amendments, the 2022 California Fire Code as amended by the County of Los Angeles. The ordinance includes specific building codes that are more stringent than those adopted by the State Fire Marshal as contained in the California Building Standards Code, and makes the required findings necessary due to local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions in Los Angeles County, including the City of Gardena.
Because the Ordinance is being adopted by reference, the Ordinance must first be introduced and then the City Council is required to set the public hearing at this meeting. Based on the notice requirements, the first available hearing date will be July 11, 2023.
CEQA
The Ordinance includes a determination that adoption is not subject to CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). The 2022 Fire Code applies to the City by default. The amendments and the additional codes that are being adopted are for the protection of the public health and safety and will not have any environmental effects.
FISCAL REVIEW/COST
There will be no fiscal impact as a result of the adoption of the subject Ordinance.
IN CONCLUSION, Staff respectfully recommends that Council introduce Ordinance No. 1855 and set a public hearing for July 11, 2023.

ANALYSIS
This ordinance repeals Title 32 – Fire Code – of the Los Angeles County Code, which incorporated by reference portions of the 2019 Edition of the California Fire Code, and replaces it with a new Title 32 containing that incorporates by reference the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code, with certain changes and amendments, which itself largely incorporates by reference, with certain changes and amendments, the 2021 Edition of the International Fire Code.
State law allows the County and Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County (District) to adopt more restrictive building standards than the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code if they are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions. This ordinance contains findings that all of the amendments to the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code that constitute more restrictive building standards are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions in the County of Los Angeles. This ordinance further amends Title 32 by making administrative changes and editorial corrections. Unless deleted or modified herein, the previously enacted provisions of Title 32 continue in effect. This ordinance adopts Title 32 as the Fire Code for the District.

326 ACTIVITIES IN WILDFIRE RISK AREAS
326.1 Intent.
Due to conditions tending to cause or allow the rapid spread of fires which may occur on grass-, grain-, brush-, or forest-covered land in certain hazardous fire portions of the jurisdictional area, or because of the inaccessible character of such lands, the unrestricted use of such lands creates a potential menace to life and property from fire.
Therefore, it is the intent of this section to provide necessary safeguards to prevent the occurrence of fires and to control the spread of fires which might be caused by recreational, commercial, industrial, or other activities carried on in any wildfire risk area.
326.2 Permit required.
Permits shall be required as set forth in Sections 105.5 and 105.6.
No person shall establish or conduct any of the following or similar activities in a wildfire risk area without first securing a permit:

The applicant shall be notified by the fire code official of the facilities and fire protection safeguards necessary, and a permit shall be contingent upon the provision of all such facilities and safeguards.
326.6 Permit stipulations.
The permit shall stipulate the conditions, precautions, limitations, and safeguards necessary to conduct the identified activity with a reasonable degree of fire safety, and failure to comply with any condition, precaution, limitation, or safeguard stipulated shall be cause for immediate revocation of the permit and cessation of the activity.
HOA.103903238.11 63
326.7 Fire protection facilities required.
Fire protection facilities required and conditions or limitations necessary to maintain reasonable fire safety may include, but are not limited to, the following:

3. Posting of "NO SMOKING" signs.
4. Removal of dry grass and weeds from around buildings, along roadways and automobile parking areas, and other areas
accessible to the public or participants of the activity.
5. Provision of approved, competent fire safety officers or advisors to act as fire guards or fire watchers to patrol the area when such activity is taking place. Also see Section 3107.17.
6. Provision of adequate access roads and parking facilities to prevent congestion of public roads, to permit adequate means of egress for evacuation of the public or participants in event of emergency, and to permit movement of fire apparatus and equipment.

Any portion of public or private lands in any wildfire risk area may be closed to the public by the fire code official at the request of the owners of such public or private lands, when in the opinion of the fire code official such closure is necessary for the prevention of fires. Notice of such closure shall be made by the fire code official by public announcement, and such closure shall be in effect until, in the opinion of the fire code official, such closure is no longer necessary for the protection of property against fire and such closure is lifted by public announcement. 326.10 Restricted entry on closed lands.
A person shall not enter or be upon any public or private lands closed to the public by the fire code official during the period such closure is in effect, except that the closure of private lands shall not prohibit the use or entry upon such lands by the owner, owner's guests, or invitees, provided that such guests or invitees have written permission from the owner of such lands to enter upon the same.
