~~ JUNE 14, through JULY 4, 2025 ~~
The American flag is a powerful and universal symbol of our national heritage and unity. The Pledge of Allegiance has become a way for all Americans to celebrate and re -affirm that heritage, and is a statement of our shared beliefs and aspirations.
The “Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance” is a call for Americans everywhere – regardless of age, race, religion, national origin, or geographic or political differences – to take time to recite the “Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.”
May we all join with millions of citizens across our great nation and take time to reflect on our Country's freedoms as we celebrate "Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance."
And, to further demonstrate our community’s solidarity and fellowship, I request, as is our City’s annual custom, that Gardena’s Walkway of Flags continue to fly from Flag Day ( Saturday, June 14) through Independence Day (Friday, July 4) to emphasize and celebrate “21 Days to Honor America.”
TO BE PROCLAIMED ONLY
“ JUNETEENTH COMMEMORATION DAY ”
~ JUNE 19, 2025 ~
The annual Commemoration of JUNETEENTH honors the effective end of slavery in the Unites States and is also considered the longest -running African American Holiday. Celebrations of Juneteenth began in 1866 and continues to be celebrated throughout the United States.
On January 01, 1863 , President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring that all enslaved people currently engaged in the rebellion against the Union, “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free,” paving the way to the adoption of the 13th Amendment.
Then, i t was on June 19, 1865, that General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas , and declared that “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. ” Therefore, June 19 th became known as “ Juneteenth.” There were over 250,000 enslaved people in Texas during this time.
Emancipation did not happen overnight for everyone but, by December of that same year, slavery in America was formally abolished with the adoption of the 13th Amendment which declares: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Therefore, I, TASHA CERDA, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GARDENA, CALIFORNIA, do hereby proclaim June 19, 2025, as
COMMEMORATION DAY
in the City of Gardena and call upon all residents to recognize and celebrate the significance of this important historical event in our nation; and by joining the City of Gardena at the Juneteenth DJ Showcase event on Thursday, June 19, 202 5, from 5:00pm – 8:00pm at the City Hall Lawn.

22. COUNCIL REMARKS
1) COUNCIL MEMBER LOVE - Since the last meeting, she attended the Women in Leadership luncheon at the Skirball Center with LA County Supervisor, Holly Mitchell.
There were about 400 women in leadership gathered to listen to a panel of five amazing women like Ms. Wiggins of LA County Metro and the lead basketball coach of UCLA and a few other women. She also had the honor of helping at Mama Rosa's food pantry. It was amazing to see the setup and how they have it all pre- boxed. She had the opportunity of taking a couple of boxes to the cars of the attendees. After that, she went on vacation and spent time with her grandkids.
2) COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS - Since the last meeting, she made a presentation at Phenomenal Women Conference on behalf of Connect to Lead. She also attended the scavenger hunt over at Willows Wetland. If you haven't been to Willows Wetland lately, please go. It's very nice, especially now that it's getting a little warm. She congratulated Chief Fox and Chief Saffell. There's a lot going on and a lot of craziness going on as she always says better days are coming.
3) COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON - He started off thanking Chief Saffell, for his years of service and told Chief Fox, he’ll be getting on your nerves sometimes, however, it’s going to be for a good thing. Since the last meeting, he attended Bradley Burns Tax Seminar to gain more understanding in regard to Bradley Burns. He attended his MSRC TAC meeting and his legislative meeting for the Southern California governments. He attended the Amestoy Elementary ribbon cutting for their new building facility. It was an outstanding event, the principal did a great job. It's a great jewel in the community. He also attended the Gardena Nisei Memorial Day event as well as the City of Gardena Memorial event at Roosevelt Park. He had some community and business visits as well. He thanked the Council tonight for the dialogue that they engaged in. He knows everybody can't see it now, but moving forward in some communities, some cities, foreclosed properties are being bought by investors and then they're splitting those lots and creating multifamily dwellings in our single -family residents. So, he’s trying to be proactive to make sure we can at least have a handle on it. They can't stop it because by right folks can develop what they like on their property. But they should be aware because that is something that's on
10 the horizon. So, he wants to make sure that the community is always looking ahead as a community and as a body.
4) MAYOR CERDA - Since the last Council Meeting, she attended a couple of events. She attended the Gardena Police Department Employee Recognition. It was a great event and congratulations to all of the officers that were recognized. She was there for a picture for the May House of the Month. She congratulated the owner for being chosen. It’s a really huge honor when your house is picked out of over 12,000 households here in Gardena.
She attended the Futsol Awards Banquet here at the Nakaoka Community Center. She also attended the Phenomenal Women' s Lead Summit, and she congratulated the founder, Jennifer Harris for doing an amazing job. She attended her monthly CCGA meeting regarding the JPA, the card rooms and will be giving some updates as she attends the hearings. Also, she attended her monthly Sanitation meeting and the GEBAC meeting. She mentioned that o ne of the members recently retired from GEBAC, Steve Rogers, he was an amazing asset to GEBAC and she thanked him for his many years of service. She apologized for not making it to the Public Works Week Celebration. She thanked Public Works for what they do all year round. She also attended the city job fair and, wow, there were so many people at that event. She thanked all the organizers who put that event together. She attended the 49th A nnual Medal of Valors event. She attended with Mayor Pro Tem and Council Member Henderson the ribbon cutting at Amestoy Elementary School where they added new classrooms. It was a really nice event.
She attended one of our local residents’ 80th birthday party and she was happy to be there to present a certificate from the City of Gardena. She had the opportunity to attend a memorial for an Elks member, Bob Busenga, he wasn’t a resident of Gardena, but he was a 55 year member and that mean’t he spent a lot of time here in Gardena. On Monday she went to the Roosevelt Cemeter y’s Memorial Day event. She thanked everybody involved the Roosevelt Cemetery, the City of Gardena, as well as the VFW for putting on that event. It was a very special event that was in recognition of Memorial Day.
5) MAYOR PRO TEM TANAKA - Since the last meeting, he attended the Gardena Police Department Employee Recognition Day, he congratulated all those that were awarded.
He attended the funeral services for Pat Worthy , who was his senior commissioner, and the repass was at the Gardena Elks lodge; it was well attended on behalf of the C ity he presented a proclamation for her and her family. Pat Worthy was also a wonderful Kiwanis member, and she was so loving of this community.

WELFARE ) OF THE GARDENA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
PROPERTIES THAT ARE VACANT, ABANDONED OR IN
FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS
WHEREAS the presence of vacant, abandoned, foreclosing or foreclosed-upon residential real property can lead to neighborhood decline by creating a public nuisance which could contribute to lower property values and could discourage potential buyers from purchasing a home adjacent to or in neighborhoods with properties that are vacant, abandoned or in foreclosed upon residences; and

WHEREAS the City has an obligation to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of residents and the community, and to the extent possible, protect neighborhoods from declining property values, aesthetic decay, and/or loss of character; and
WHEREAS City has observed and anticipates additional or worsening of code violations including and not limited to multiple violations on the same property, unoccupied buildings susceptible to vandalism and break-ins and/or open structures rendering them unsafe and dangerous, yards containing litter and trash attracting vermin infestation, overgrown grass and bushes resulting in accumulation of combustible vegetation, debris, and other flammable materials, and unsecured swimming pools that are not only a threat to children but become breeding grounds for infectious insects such as mosquitoes; and
WHEREAS through the amendment of Chapter 9, the City can implement a program designed to prevent and address the adverse impacts which large numbers of vacant properties have the potential to create,

Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines, staff has determined that the Ordinance does not qualify as a project as defined in CEQA Guidelines section 15378, and there is no potential for the adoption of the Ordinance to result in a physical change in the environment and therefore is not subject to CEQA.

Adoption of the Ordinance is also exempt under Guidelines section 15308 as an action to creating a regulatory process to protect the environment. Staff is directed to file a Notice of Exemption.

A. In enacting this section, it is the intent of the city to encourage the provision of accessory dwelling units to meet a variety of economic needs within the city and to implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the housing element of the general plan.
Accessory dwelling units provide housing for extended family members, students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, the disabled, and others, at below market prices within existing neighborhoods. Homeowners who create accessory dwelling unit s can benefit from added income, and an increased sense of security. Allowing accessory dwelling units in zones allowing residential uses provides needed additional rental housing. This chapter provides the requirements for the establishment of accessory Docusign Envelope ID: D99B6D8D-FE9F-41A9-A433-843EF7C67137 2 dwelling units consistent with California Government Code Sections 66310 through 66342.
B. For purposes of this chapter, “primary dwelling” shall mean as follows:
1. In the case of a single -family residential zone, the existing single -family dwelling, or the larger of two proposed units.
2. In the case of any other residential or mixed -use zone in which a single - family dwelling exists on the property, the existing dwelling.
3. In the case of multifamily or mixed-use zone which allows a residential use, the existing or proposed multifamily units.
C. For purposes of this chapter, words and phrases defined in Government Code Sections 66310 through 66342 shall have the same meaning when used in this chapter.
D. In cases of conflict between this chapter and any other provision of this title, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail. To the extent that any provision of this chapter is in conflict with state law, the mandatory requirement of state law shall control, but only to the extent legally required.
18.13.020 Applications – Junior and accessory dwelling units.
A. Applications for junior and accessory dwelling units shall be ministerially approved or denied within sixty days of receipt of a complete application and approved if they meet the requirements of this chapter.
1. If the application is submitted in conjunction with an application for a new single-family or multifamily dwelling, the application for the junior or accessory dwelling unit shall not be acted upon until the application for the new single -family or multifamily dwelling is approved.
2. If the application is denied, the city shall return a full set of comments in writing to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient with a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant.

3. If a detached garage is to be replaced with an accessory dwelling unit, the demolition permit shall be reviewed with the application for the accessory dwelling unit and issued at the same time.
4. The city shall grant a delay if requested by the applicant.
5. Notwithstanding the above, if the applicant uses a plan for an accessory dwelling unit that has been preapproved by the city or a plan that is identical to a plan used in an application for a detached accessory dwelling unit approved by the city within the current triennial California Building Standards Code cycle, the application shall be approved or denied within 30 days from the date of a complete application.

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 8.I
Section: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE:
Approve Paratransit Service Agreement with Los Angeles County CONTACT: TRANSPORTATION
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
GTrans operates Bolt: Powered by GTrans, Gardena’s on-demand shared-ride service. The service is provided to the general public, as well as registered paratransit riders who are senior citizens and/or customers with physical disabilities residing in the Cities of Gardena, Hawthorne and the unincorporated Los Angeles County communities of Alondra Park, Del Aire and Hawthorne Island. Paratransit customers must be pre-certified, and the fare for a one-way trip is 75 cents.
The provision of service for the specified communities in unincorporated Los Angeles County is provided under a two-year cooperative agreement between the City of Gardena and Los Angeles County. The County reimburses GTrans for the cost per trip for the number of actual trips provided, less the cash fares collected by GTrans, up to the maximum specified amount.
The proposed two-year agreement with Los Angeles County provides compensation to GTrans for the provision of this specific service up to a maximum amount, as displayed below:
FY24-2025
FY25-2026
Los Angeles County
$ 85,000
$ 85,000
The renewal of the proposed agreement with Los Angeles County was delayed due to the transition of the service to GTrans' new Bolt service. While the transition was underway, GTrans continued to provide this service in good faith to the residents of Los Angeles County until an agreement was executed and approved by both entities. Likewise, the County honored the reimbursement rates until the agreement was finalized.
Therefore, it is recommended that Council authorize the execution of the attached, two-year Cooperative Agreement for Paratransit Services with Los Angeles County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:
The County of Los Angeles agrees to reimburse GTrans up to $170,000 over the course of its two-year agreement. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Earned Income Credit (EIC)?
What Is the EIC?
The EIC is a refundable tax credit for certain workers.
Which Employees Must I Notify About the
EIC?
You must notify each employee who worked for you at any time during the year and from whose wages you did not withhold income tax. However, you do not have to notify any employee who claimed exemption from withholding on Form W -4,
Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate.
Note: You are encouraged to notify each employee whose
wages for 2023 are less than $63,398 that he or she may be eligible for the EIC.
How and When Must I Notify My
Employees?
You must give the employee one of the following:
● The IRS Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, which has
the required information about the EIC on the back of Copy B.
● A substitute Form W-2 with the same EIC information on the back of the employee's copy that is on Copy B of the IRS Form W-2.
● Notice 797, Possible Federal Tax Refund Due to the
Earned Income Credit (EIC).
● Your written statement with the same wording as
Notice 797.
If you give an employee a Form W -2 on time, no further notice is necessary if the Form W -2 has the required
information about the EIC on the back of the employee's copy.
If you give an employee a substitute Form W -2, but it does not have the required information, you must notify the employee within 1 week of the date the substitute Form W -2 is given.

For example, if an employee has no tax withheld in 2023 and owes no tax but is eligible for a credit of $800, he or she must file a 2023 tax return to get the $800 refund.

EXHIBIT G – JURY SERVICE ORDINANCE
An ordinance amending Title 2 -Administration of the Los Angeles County Code relating to jury service policies of contractors of the County of Los Angeles.
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter 2.203 is hereby added to read as follows:
Chapter 2.203
CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE JURY SERVICE
2.203.010 Findings. The Board of Supervisors makes the following findings. The County of Los Angeles allows its permanent, full time employees unlimited jury service at their regular pay. Unfortunately, many businesses do not offer or are reducing or even eliminating compensation to emp loyees who serve on juries. This creates a potential financial hardship for employees who do not receive their pay when called to jury service and those employees often seek to be excused from having to serve. Although changes in the court rules make it more difficult to excuse a potential juror on grounds of financial hardship, potential jurors continue to be excused on this basis especially from longer trials. This reduces the number of potential jurors and increases the burden on those employers such as the County of Los Angeles, who pay their permanent, full -time employees while on jury duty. For these reasons, the County of Los Angeles has determined that it is appropriate to require that the businesses with which the County contracts possess reasonable jury service policies.
2.203.020 Definitions. The following definitions shall be applicable to this Chapter:
A. "Contractor" means a person, partnership, corporation, or other entity, which has a contract with the County or a subcontract with a County contractor and has received or will receive an aggregate sum of Fifty Thousand and 00/1000 Dollars ($50,000.00) or more in any 12-month period under one or more such contracts or subcontracts.
B. "Employee" means any California resident who is a full-time employee of a contractor under the laws of California.
C. "Contract" means any agreement to provide goods to, or perform services for, or on behalf of the County, but does not include:
1. A contract where the Board finds that special circumstances exist that justify a waiver of the requirements of this Chapter; or
Docusign Envelope ID: FA155EFA-7428-4945-A89D-2575E408EC4A
2. A contract where Federal or State law or a condition of a Federal or State program mandates the use of a particular contractor; or
3. A purchase made through a State or Federal contract; or
4. A monopoly purchase that is exclusive and proprietary to a specific manufacturer, distributor, or reseller, and must match and inter -member with existing supplies, equipment, or systems maintained by the County pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual, Section P-3700 or a successor provision; or
5. A revolving fund (petty cash) purchase pursuant to the Los Angeles County Fiscal Manual, Section 4.4.0 or a successor provision; or
6. A purchase card pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual, Section P-2810 or a successor provision; or
7. A nonagreement purchase with a value of less than $5,000 pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual , Section A-0300 or a successor provision; or
8. A bona fide emergency purchase pursuant to the Los Angeles County Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual , Section PP -1100, or a successor provision.
D. "Full time" means 40 hours or more worked per week, or a lesser number of hours if:
1. The lesser number is a recognized industry standard as determined by the Chief Executive Officer, or
2. The contractor has a long-standing practice that defines the lesser number of hours as full-time.
E. "County" means the County of Los Angeles or any public entities for which the Board of Supervisors is the governing body.
2.203.030 Applicability. This Chapter shall apply to contractors who enter into contracts that commence after July 11, 2002. This Chapter shall also apply to contractors with existing contracts, which are extended into option years that commence after July 11, 2002.

Docusign Envelope ID: FA155EFA-7428-4945-A89D-2575E408EC4A
2.203.040 Contractor Jury Service Policy. A contractor shall have and adhere to a written policy that provides that its employees shall receive from the contractor, on an annual basis, no less than five days of regular pay for actual jury service. The policy may provide that employees deposit any fees received for such jury service with the contractor or that the contractor deducts from the employees' regular pay the fees received for jury service.
2.203.050 Other Provisions.
A. Administration. The Chief Executive Officer shall be responsible for the administration of this Chapter. The Chief Executive Officer may, with the advice of County Counsel, issue interpretations of the provisions of this Chapter and shall issue written instructions on the implementation and ongoing administration of this Chapter.

Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE:
Authorization to Lease to Purchase Five (5) 2025 Chevrolet Blazer Electric Vehicles from Enterprise Fleet Management with a Down Payment in the Amount of $310,789, and Monthly Fees Over a 60-Month Period in the Amount of $66,061 for a Total Requested Amount of $376,850
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendation: Approve Purchase
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve the lease to purchase five (5) 2025 Chevrolet Blazer Electric Vehicles from Enterprise Fleet Management with a down payment in the amount of $310,789, and monthly fees over a 60-month period in the amount of $66,061 for a total requested amount of $376,850.
As the City moves forward with complying with California's environmental and air quality regulations, the City is now considering alternative fuel and electric vehicles on our fleet of non-emergency light duty vehicles. One (1) vehicle will be utilized by the Administrative Services Department. The remaining four (4) vehicles will be utilized by GTrans. These new vehicles will replace four (4) 2011 Ford Escapes that have reached the end of their useful life.
The vehicles are in use by GTrans Operations Supervisors as they are out in the field monitoring services, responding to incidents or emergency calls by bus operators, and in general support of the system. The vehicles being replaced are over 14 years old and range in mileage from 92,900 to 120,900 miles. The City expects to take delivery of these vehicles in 7- 10 days.
Funding for one (1) vehicle will come primarily from the Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program whose purpose is to reduce fossil fuel emissions in a manner that is environmentally sustainable and maximizes benefits for local communities. Townsend Public Affairs was instrumental with helping the City obtain funding from the Department of Energy. GTrans has existing capital funds designated for the lease to purchase four (4) vehicles in its FY26 budget, previously approved by City Council.

Recruitment Efforts:
As an ongoing effort and commitment to workforce planning and operational efficiency, the Human Resources Office experienced an increase in recruiting efforts throughout all City departments. The HR Office administered a total of 72 recruitments in 2024; this effort allowed the City to pull from a vast pool of applicants. The City currently utilizes a web- based recruitment platform. NeoGov was implemented in 2018, and allows us to reach a national pool of applicants. We received an astounding 5,342 applications in 2024. This resulted in 91 new hires and 60 internal promotions.
Departments throughout the City banded together in their recruitment efforts in 2024, participating in numerous Job Fairs throughout the SouthBay. The Police Department formed Recruitment Teams in an effort to reach an even greater number of candidates and mentored candidates through the application and background process. Advertising reached new heights, with the utilization of Social Media marketing, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Employment Opportunities were posted on various web-based recruitment platforms including, GovernmentJobs.com, Monster.com, Transit Talent, Indeed, Zip Recruiter, LinkedIn, HandShake, and Public CEO. Advertising posts were made in newspapers; including the Gardena Valley News, Daily Breeze, Los Angeles Times and La Opinion. Job Fair advertising was conducted through radio ads and bus billboards.
Further
efforts were made through a Referral Bonus Program, as well as a Hiring Bonus Program for some tough-to-fill positions.
Retention Efforts:
Overall City retention for 2024 was 91%. With the average years of service being 12 years.
The City is invested in nurturing employee development and growth, by providing a great number of benefits, including: trainings and conferences, a leadership academy, tuition reimbursement, professional development reimbursement, employee recognition programs, employee events, wellness stipend, incentive pay, and an employee assistance program.
This is further cemented by the 60 internal promotions that took place in 2024.

Staff Recommendation for Motion:
1) Adopt Resolution No.6706, approving Conditional Use Permit #1-25 and directing staff to file a Notice of Exemption.
BACKGROUND:
On May 6, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on a CUP application to operate an indoor batting cage within an existing 5,677 sf warehouse located in the Industrial (M-1) zone located at 13008 Halldale Avenue. Minor tenant improvements are proposed in an existing 5,677 sf warehouse to accommodate a n indoor batting cage and athletic training facility . Interior improvements include installation of batting cages of various sizes to accommodate different skill levels and training needs, with dedicated areas for one-on-one coaching and personalized athletic training. The facility will also include upgrades to existing restrooms to ensure compliance with current ADA (Americans with Disability Act) requirements. Applicant plans to re-stripe the parking lot to comply with current zoning and dimensional standards. Currently, the site includes 14 parking spaces serving a two -tenant building. Restriping would result in the loss of one parking space, bringing the total number of conforming spaces to 13 . Section 18.40.080.B.3 of the
