REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: City Council Regular Meeting Schedule for the 2022-23 Fiscal Year

1. Motion Establishing City Council Regular Meeting Schedule for the 2022-23 Fiscal Year and Cancelling Specified City Council Meetings

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for May 10, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

COUNCIL PRIORITIES

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Council regular meeting schedule for the 2022-23 fiscal year, including cancelling specified meetings.

BACKGROUND
The City Council’s regular meetings are on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. The Council also holds special meetings from time-to-time as well as joint meetings with other City agencies, as necessary. For the past several years, Council has adopted a regular meeting schedule per fiscal year by cancelling specified regular meetings. The regular meeting schedule typically takes holidays and school calendars into consideration. It should be noted that the City Manager and staff strive to calendar Council items in a manner so that agendas are not overly light, nor overburdened in a manner that makes for excessively heavy agendas.

ANALYSIS
The City Manager and City Attorney, after consultation with the Mayor, are proposing that the regular meeting schedule for the 2022-23 fiscal year average three regular Council meetings per month, with additional breaks to allow for summer and winter recesses.

This will balance the need for a calendar sufficient to handle the Council’s robust regular business while providing breaks in the calendar to allow sufficient staff time to prepare reports and undertake other business of the City, as well to provide breaks in the Council meeting calendar during the summer and winter breaks. If additional meetings become necessary, the Council can add meetings to the calendar or call special meetings.

Accordingly, staff proposes regular meetings on every Tuesday except on the following dates, which would be cancelled:
2022

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Five-Year Service Authorization with McAvoy & Markham Engineering & Sales Co. for Proprietary Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Electric Meters and Related Components.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action
Approved for May 10, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2009, following a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the City Council awarded a contract to Itron, Inc. (Itron), making Itron Electric Meters the standard for Glendale Water & Power (GWP) AMI electric meter infrastructure. To continue driving consistency and reliability, GWP is planning to systematically upgrade and replace the roughly 90,000 AMI meters currently in service. This meter replacement process is expected to take approximately ten to fifteen years and, to do so, it is imperative for staff to have the purchasing power to procure the electric meters. The only authorized representative for the supply of Itron Electric Meters and related components for the Southern California region is McAvoy & Markham Engineering & Sales Co.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure: Maintaining GWP’s Itron Electric Meter infrastructure by replacing aging meters, installing new residential and commercial customer meters, and having access to related electric meter components is critical to accurately measuring the consumption of GWP’s roughly 90,000 electric customers.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to dispense with competitive bidding, and authorize a five-year Service Authorization with McAvoy & Markham Engineering & Sales Co. for the supply of propriety Itron Electric Meters and related components for an amount not-to-exceed $3,000,000 for the five-year term.

BACKGROUND
In 2009, GWP performed an extensive evaluation and testing process through an RFP and ultimately chose Itron Electric Meters as the GWP standard for its AMI electric meter infrastructure. In 2012, approximately 88,000 residential, commercial, and industrial meters were replaced with Itron Electric Meters as part of GWP’s Grid Modernization Project. Itron Electric Meters can be read remotely and provide revenue loss detection; real-time consumption information; demand; current, and voltage information. The meters can also provide customers with information about their daily electric usage.

On November 18, 2014, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order Contract with McAvoy & Markham Engineering & Sales Co. for the purchase of various Itron Electric Meters and related components on an “as needed” basis for a term of three years in an amount not to exceed $450,000, with an option to renew for two additional one-year terms for an amount not to exceed $150,000 per year.

Staff exercised the options to renew the contract for the two additional one-year terms that expired in November 2019.

Since the expiration of the Purchase Order Contract with McAvoy & Markham Engineering & Sales Co, GWP staff has been issuing an annual purchase orders with McAvoy & Markham to procure small amounts of electric meters as needed for new residential and commercial projects and meter replacements.

ANALYSIS
After a decade of the initial installation of the 88,000 Itron Electric Meters, it is time to begin the systematic replacement of the electric meters. Staff expects this process to take approximately ten to fifteen years and, to do so, it is imperative to have the purchasing power to procure electric meters above the standard purchase order guidelines set forth in the Administrative Policy Manual, Policy 3-11 Purchasing Policy.

McAvoy & Markham Engineering & Sales Co. is the only authorized representative for the supply of Itron Electric Meters for the Western United States region. In order to maintain consistency, reliability, and continuity of Glendale’s electric system, and to continue to maintain the adopted standard, it is recommended to continue using Itron 26 of 144
38 a

6 2
Electric Meters. Shifting to a different meter manufacturer is not recommended because of the hardware and software investments made since 2009 to support the Itron Electric Meter infrastructure.

This contract is exempt from competitive bidding pursuant to Article VI, section 9 of the Glendale Charter exempts from competitive bidding any contract for “labor, material, supplies or services which are available from only one vendor;” and “contracts for professional or unique services.” Article VI, section 9 of the Glendale Charter further provides that the City Council may dispense with competitive bidding, upon recommendation of the City Manager, or his designee, for “any contract when it determines it is in the best interest of the City so to do and acts by resolution setting forth the reason for such action.”
Based upon the foregoing reasons, it is therefore recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution finding that it is in the City’s best interest to dispense with competitive bidding for the supply of proprietary Itron Electric Meters and related components, and award this contract to McAvoy & Markham Engineering & Sales Co.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Fiscal Year 2022-23 SB1 Project List for Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair & Accountability Act of 2017
1) Resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2022-23 SB1 Project List, the Road Repair & Accountability Act of 2017

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Item
Approved for 5/10/2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order for the City of Glendale to be eligible for Fiscal Year 2022-23 SB1 program funds, and per the Streets and Highways Code Section 2034, the City must adopt the list of projects funded by SB1 via a resolution, and submit the adopted list to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) on or before July 1, 2022. Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve the Fiscal Year 2022-23 SB1 Project List as outlined in this report.
32 of 144

3 3

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure & Mobility: The projects listed will improve the City’s roadways and supporting infrastructures for all modes of transportation, continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repair and replace damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter, and repair and/or install new curb ramps to increase access for the public.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2022-23 SB1 Project List which consists of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), Sidewalk Repair and Crack Seal Program, and South Verdugo Road Street Improvements Project.

BACKGROUND
The City currently receives transportation funding from the State of California typically in the form of grants, or direct allocation of the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (Gas Tax), through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA). HUTA funds are used primarily for pavement rehabilitation.

SB1 created a new funding opportunity known as the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). The bill directs the RMRA funds to be split 50/50 between the State and cities/counties to address the backlog of maintenance on State and local roadway systems, as well as the improvement of California’s trade corridors, transit, and active transportation facilities.

On November 1, 2017, SB1 increased several fuel and vehicle license fees in California, including the gasoline excise tax by 12 cents per gallon and the diesel excise tax by 20 cents per gallon. A separate price-based gasoline excise tax was reset to 17.3 cents per gallon, while the state sales tax on diesel for transportation funding increased from 1.75% to 5.75%. An additional vehicle registration fee ranging from $25 to $175 is levied annually based on the value of the vehicle, and a $100 transportation fee is levied on zero-emissions vehicles beginning in 2020. Furthermore, starting 2020, these taxes and fees began increasing with the California Consumer Price Index.

Eligible Uses
Funds made available by the RMRA Program can be used to satisfy State or Federal grant matching requirements, or in furthering projects that include, but are not limited to:
Road maintenance and rehabilitation;
Safety projects;
Railroad grade separations;
Traffic control devices; and
Active transportation purposes in conjunction with any other allowable project.

In March 2021, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) released updated 2021 RMRA annual reporting guidelines. Per Streets and Highways Code Section 2034, cities 33 of 144
38 b
3 2
3 3
must adopt their SB1 project lists via resolution, and not through the adopted citywide budget.

ANALYSIS
The cities’ “maintenance of effort” (MOE) spending, i.e., use of general funds for streets and roads, must be at or above the average level for fiscal years 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. In order to receive an allocation or apportionment, the City shall annually expend from its general fund for street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than this average. The City of Glendale’s average MOE for these three years is $8,563,286, with the estimated SB1 funds to be received for the fiscal year 2022-23 being $4,646,327.

A new Caltrans Audit Office will have jurisdiction to ensure cities are operating efficiently, effectively, economically, and in compliance with all applicable federal and state requirements.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Emergency Power Generator Transfer Switch Upgrades at Police Building 1) Resolution dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing the City Manager or a designee to execute a contract with Siemens Industry, Inc. Russelelectric, A Siemens Business (Russelelectric) in the amount of $240,760.00, plus a 15% contingency ($36,114.00), for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $276,874.00 for the upgrading of two existing emergency power generator transfer switches at the Police Building.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for May 10, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Software and hardware upgrades for two existing emergency power generator transfer switches at the Police Building are needed. Time is of the essence in completing the upgrades to the current equipment, as replacement parts for the existing transfer switches are no longer available and any component failures may leave the essential facility without power during an outage.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure: The transfer switches are an essential component for the activation of the emergency power back-up system at the Police Building.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing an award of a contract to Russelectric in the amount of $240,760.00, plus a 15% contingency ($36,114.00), for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $276,874.00 for the upgrading of two existing emergency power generator transfer switches at the Police Building, and directing the City Manager or designee to execute the contract.

BACKGROUND
The Police Building was placed into service in 2004 and includes two 920-kilowatt emergency power generating units. Each of these generators has a transfer switch that senses when utility power is lost and automatically switches over to the generator power during the outage and vice versa. The existing transfer switches are manufactured and supported by Russelelectric, a subsidiary of Siemens. Due to the proprietary construction, programming, and parts for the Russelelectric transfer switches, it is necessary to complete the transfer switch upgrades with Russelelectric. Russelelectric does not train or authorize any third party companies in the repair, maintenance, or upgrades of Russelelectric equipment. Russelelectric is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and maintains detailed service histories and record drawings for the life of the equipment. In addition, Russelelectric is the sole-source maintenance vendor for the City to service the two transfer switches at the Police Building, and they maintain an inventory of OEM replacement parts, in addition to providing 24/7 support.

ANALYSIS
The recommended Russelelectric upgrades will incorporate the latest technology, including hardware and software, and will provide an expected service life of at least 20- years. The alternative to upgrading the existing Russelelectric transfer switches would be to completely remove the existing equipment and install equipment from another manufacturer. The estimated cost of a full replacement for both transfer switches would exceed One Million Dollars, as estimated by Public Works’ electrical engineering consultant.

Time is of the essence in completing the upgrades to the existing equipment, as replacement parts for the existing transfer switches are no longer being manufactured and any component or software failures may leave the facility without back-up electrical power.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Brand Standardization of Taser 7 with procurement provided by Axon Enterprise Inc.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for May 10, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Glendale Police Department currently uses the Axon Taser 7 developed by Axon Enterprise Inc. (Axon) and has a 5-year contract with the company. The contract is for the Taser 7 Certification Bundle in the amount of $595,315. This package allowed the Police Department to equip all of its field officers at the time of the contract with Taser 7 devices while amortizing the cost associated with this equipment over five years. The current contract limits the number of Taser 7s to 175. The contract does not allow the Police Department to expand beyond this number as the organization grows. Brand standardization would avoid delays in providing officers with Taser 7s. 51 of 144

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
N/A

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution authorizing standardization to Axon for Taser 7s and dispense with competitive bidding to procure Taser 7s and related parts, maintenance, and services.

BACKGROUND
The Glendale Police Department has always included de-escalation as an essential part of our written policies and training. Tasers are used as a life-saving device to de-escalate a threat as they are a less-lethal option that officers may utilize to control violent or potentially violent individuals. This reduces the risk of serious bodily harm to both officers and combative suspects during these encounters. The Glendale Police Department currently uses the Axon Taser 7 developed by Axon and has a 5-year contract with the company.

The contract is for the Taser 7 Certification Bundle in the amount of $595,315. The bundle includes 175 Taser 7 devices, holsters, docks, rechargeable batteries, hardware replacement warranty, the CEW Starter Service, and Axon Evidence.com licensing. This package allowed the department to immediately equip all of its field officers at the time of the contract with Taser 7 devices while amortizing the cost over five years. The department also has a contract with Axon for in-car cameras and body-worn cameras.

The Taser 7 devices seamlessly integrate into the Evidence.com management system the Police Department currently utilizes to store the data collected by in-car and body- worn cameras.

Department staff researched alternatives and learned that Axon's Tasers are the only conducted energy device available for police use, and they are used exclusively by law enforcement agencies nationwide. Axon provided staff a dual-source letter which states the equipment and services described above are only available through Axon the manufacturer of Taser 7s, or Proforce Law Enforcement (Proforce), a third-party vendor authorized to sell their product.

ANALYSIS
In 2020, staff obtained quotes from both Axon and Proforce. Both vendors offered similar packages per the quotes received, with Axon's five (5) year quote totaling $595,315 and Proforce's five (5) year quote totaling $589,590. They both offered the number of Tasers for field personnel and the holsters, docks, rechargeable batteries, hardware replacement warranty, and Axon Evidence.com licensing, although Axon's quote included their "Conducted Electrical Weapons (CEW) Starter Service."
The "Conducted Electrical Weapons (CEW) Starter Service" was the reason the department procured Taser 7s through Axon. Although the dual-source letter identifies Axon and Proforce Law Enforcement as both being authorized distributors for Taser brand CEW products, the letter states that Axon is the only licensed repair facility for 52 of 144
38 d
3 3
1 0
Taser brand CEW products. As the Axon Taser 7 model is relatively new to the department, field personnel need specific training on the device and the ongoing support offered in the CEW Starter Service. Axon is the only vendor able to provide the CEW Starter Service, which includes training and authorized repair. Being the manufacturer, Axon is also able to offer direct support to enhance department efficiency with the implementation process, including logistics, computer systems integration, troubleshooting services that may be encountered throughout the life of the agreement, and synthesis with the Evidence.com management system.

The original contract for 175 Tasers 7s equipped all officer-level personnel with the equipment. Use in the field has shown the Taser 7 to be an effective de-escalation tool which has increased safety during encounters with combative suspects. As the department hires more police officers, additional equipment is necessary to ensure that our workforce is properly equipped. Brand standardization would avoid delays in equipping sworn police personnel with Taser 7s as the department would be able to purchase new Taser 7s when the need arises.

The Glendale Purchasing Policy promotes the standardization of commonly used items, vehicles, and equipment. The policy only applies to equipment, such as Taser 7s, tested and proven to be satisfactory in the field. This process will eliminate repetitive future approvals by the City Council when the department purchases the same equipment within its approved budget. Standardized items need to be reviewed by the Departments at least every five years and approved by City Council at least every ten years.

Upon City Council’s approval of the proposed Resolution adopting Axon as the City's standard for Taser 7s and dispensing with competitive bidding, the Deputy Director of Finance/Purchasing will be authorized to procure Taser 7s and related parts, maintenance, and services.

AGENDA ITEM
Report: 711 E. Mountain Street – Consideration of Glendale Register Nomination and Request for a Mills Act Historic Property Contract.

1. Resolution to designate the residential property at 711 E. Mountain Street as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, as the Echols House, and authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act Historical Property Contract with the property owner;

2. Motion to deny the request of the property owner to designate the residential property at 711 E. Mountain Street as a historic resource on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for May 10, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner of 711 E. Mountain Street requests that the City Council designate/list the property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources and authorize a Mills Act historical property contract. The house was designed in 1923 and is an excellent example of a Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence.

On March 17, 2022, Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) reviewed the nomination and voted 5-0 to recommend to the City Council that the property at 711 E. Mountain Street be listed in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources as GR-141 “Echols House,” and that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a Mills Act historic property contract with the property owner under Section 15.20.070A of the Glendale Municipal Code.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Environmental Stewardship: the protection of properties through historic preservation is an inherently sustainable practice because the greenest building is the one that’s already built.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council approve designation/listing of the property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act historic property contract, with the conditions recommended by HPC, between the City and the property owner under Section 15.20.070A of the Glendale Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND
Historical Background
711 E. Mountain Street is a two-story, single-family residence located along the north boundary of the pending Bellehurst Historic District. The residence was constructed in 1923 by contractor Guy Worth Calkins. The original architect, if any, is unknown and no information was found on Calkins or his works. The residence is an excellent and striking example of the Spanish Colonial Revival-style that was designed to take advantage of its prominent hillside lot with views of the mountains and the city below.

The house was built for owner Frank Echols, partner of the Roberts & Echols Drug Store that was founded in 1903 by Echols and his business partner Fred H. Roberts. In 1925, they purchased the Security Trust and Savings Bank building and opened a three-story flagship location at the corner of E. Broadway and Brand Boulevard, “the center of Glendale’s business section.”1 According to available historic city directories, the business operated at this location until at least 1958. In 1941, the house was purchased by Hurlburt Harrison Jr., owner of the Harrison Co. printing company and in 1958 by James Thorburn, an employee of the Citizens National Bank of Los Angles according to historic city directories. In 1965, Nino Carbé, a noted illustrator, animator, and artist, purchased the property and lived there with his wife Betty until his death in 1993. Carbé started his career as a book illustrator with early work in the 1930s including editions of Tales from the Arabian Nights, Cyrano de Bergerac, and Frankenstein, as well as numerous children’s books. He was also a talented layout and background artist for animated films and, later, television shows, with and over 80 credits throughout his fifty-year career including Disney classics such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, and The Jungle Book, as well as later work for other studios.

After retiring from animation, Carbé took up painting and sculpting and used the basement of the property as his studio until his death in 1993. Betty Carbé continued to live in the house until her passing in 2014, when the property was purchased by Adrian Vazquez and Keashia Conipio. The current owners acquired the house in 2021.

No information provided in the application suggests that the property is identified with important events in national, state, or city history, or that it exemplifies significant contributions to the broad cultural, political, economic, social, tribal, or historic heritage of the nation, state, or city. It therefore does not appear eligible under Criterion 1. 1 “Pioneer Drug Firm Celebrates Success,” The Glendale Evening News, April 2, 1925 page 1. 60 of 144
39 a
3 2
5 6
Though Nino Carbé was a prolific and talented animator and illustrator, his work does not appear to have made significant contributions to the history of the nation, state, region, or city. Carbé was not the sole artist on the animation work he completed and his most widely known efforts predate his residency at the subject property. Frank Echols was a prominent community member and successful businessman in the city, but there is no information in the nomination to suggest he made significant contributions to the history of the nation, state, region, or city. Additionally, none of the other previous owners appear to be significant and therefore, the property does not appear eligible under Criterion 2.

Based on the information in the nomination, attached to this report as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by reference, HPC found the property eligible for listing in the Glendale Register under Criterion 3, as detailed in the “Finding of Eligibility” section below. Based on the City’s naming protocol, HPC recommends the name of the property as the “Echols House” after the first owner.

Architectural Description
The 2,625-square-foot residence is located on a 6,668-square-foot rectangular lot at the base of the Verdugo Mountains. The lot slopes up to the north giving this two-story eclectic interpretation of Spanish Colonial Revival design a dramatic presence over the street below. The building is setback deeply on its lot, has an irregular footprint, and is clad in smooth stucco. It is accessed by a curved staircase, which was altered at an unknown date with ledgestone, leading from the street to the primary façade. The front portion of the lot is designed with terraced patios and concrete walls which were also added at an unknown date, though some version of the stairs and, possibly, terraces, have always been present. The building has an asymmetrical primary facade that is articulated in blocky volumes with curved wing walls, some low slung and some more grand, that soften the appearance of the large building. A two-story square tower with a crenellated parapet is the focal point of the property. The roofs are mostly flat with clay tile parapet copings, but there are also clay-tiled shed and gabled roofs at the central portions of the house. These cover the primary entrance porch, the windows along the west façade second story, and a secondary entrance that leads to a rooftop patio. The primary entrance door, an arched wood door with divided lights that match the window muntins, is elevated and located off center of the primary facade below an entrance porch. Window types include wood casements that swing inward and are set in single, pairs, and tripartite configurations, the latter with central fixed windows. Some of the windows include arched heads and the muntin patterns have staggered divides that give the facades a lively rhythm. The muntin patterns throughout are particularly striking and represent a departure from the more traditional patterns found at other houses in this style. Muntins are also purposefully left off the large central fixed windows along the primary façade to ensure uninterrupted views from the main living spaces. The tripartite windows along the primary facade include rope mullions, adding more visual detail to the large windows. A large end-wall chimney is located along the west façade and large circular clay attic vents encircle the entire building below the roofline allowing for natural cooling.

A detached two-car garage that is partially embedded into the hillside is located at street level. The garage has a square footprint and features two horizontal wood swing-up doors, which appear to be original. It is clad in smooth stucco and has a stepped parapet. The roof is severely deteriorated and in need of replacement.

The east side yard is terraced with a terracotta-tile patio, stairs with terracotta treads and ceramic tile risers, cinderblock and concrete retaining walls, and open green space.

The cinderblock walls and a cinderblock storage shed near the north end of the yard were added at unknown dates and are not aesthetically compatible with the style of the residence. An additional small patio with a deteriorated outdoor fireplace, potentially added by Carbé, is located to the west of the primary façade.

Notable character-defining features of 711 E. Mountain Street include:
Irregular footprint
Asymmetrical primary façade
Smooth stucco cladding
Curved wing walls with arched openings
In-swinging casement windows with arched transoms, staggered and arched muntins, and roped mullions
Arched wood entrance door with glazing pattern matching some windows Crenelated parapet at tower
Flat roof with clay tile coping
Shed and gabled roofs with red clay tile coping
Detached two-car garage with original swing up doors
Alterations and Integrity
The residence at 711 E. Mountain Street retains a high degree of integrity with minimal alterations occurring since original construction. In recent years, but at an unknown date, the front hardscaping including the stairs leading from the street to the front entrance, the terraced landings along the front of the property, and the primary entrance stairs were redone. The stone fountain at the front of the primary façade was added during the ownership of Carbé, potentially in the 1960s, as well as the outdoor fireplace.

Some windows along the secondary facades have been replaced with compatible windows. Additionally, the cinderblock retaining walls and storage shed in the east yard were added at unknown dates. None of these alterations deter from the building’s overall integrity of materials, design, or workmanship and the residence retains a high degree of integrity.

HPC and staff therefore recommend the following Mills Act conditions:

1. Stucco the cinderblock walls at the rear of the property to match the stucco at the residence.

2. Stucco and re-roof the non-original cinderblock storage shed at the rear of the property. Roof cladding and shape should be sympathetic to the design of the house and approved by Planning staff.

3. Repair damaged terracotta tiles at steps of rear patio. 62 of 144

4. Repair or replace failing garage roof.

5. If staff finds evidence for the original appearance of the outdoor fireplace, restore it to that appearance. If no evidence is found, owner will clean up and retain this feature.

ANALYSIS
Finding of Eligibility
After reviewing the nomination submitted by the owner and its supporting documentation, as well as visiting the site, HPC found that the property appears to meet Criterion 3 of the eligibility criteria for listing in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, as follows:

Architectural Significance [Criterion 3]
To meet Criterion 3, a property must “embody the distinctive and exemplary characteristics of an architectural style, architectural type, period, or method of construction; or represent a notable work of a master designer, builder or architect whose genius influenced his or her profession; or possess high artistic values; and retain integrity.”
711 E. Mountain Street is an excellent and interesting example of Spanish Colonial Revival-style architecture. The residence was designed to take full advantage of its location on the hillside lot and high elevation. The dramatic siting is enhanced by the castle-like crenellated tower. The blocky volumes of the house are balanced by the curved wing-walls and arched window openings in a way that suggests a very skilled, though unknown, designer. The intricate details of the window design, asymmetrical facades, irregular massing, and small details such as rope mullions and circular clay tile vents give visual intrigue to almost all surfaces of the building. The building is an excellent example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, retains a high level of integrity of design, materials, and workmanship, and retains many character-defining features of its style. Therefore, the subject property is eligible for listing in the Glendale Register under Criterion 3.

Staff recommends that City Council consider HPC’s recommendation and find the property eligible for designation as a historic resource in the Glendale Register under Criterion 3, and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act contract, with the recommended conditions, between the City and the property owner.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
There are no stakeholders other than the property owner.

FISCAL IMPACT
Listing historic properties in the Glendale Register has no fiscal impact. However, future property tax savings to private owners of listed historic properties under Mills Act contracts will slightly reduce City property tax revenues from the general County tax levy received from each Mills Act property.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The project is exempt from CEQA review as Class 31 (“Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation”) and Class 8 (“Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment") exemptions pursuant to Sections 15331 and 15308 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves the designation and protection/preservation of a historic resource.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
The names and business addresses of the members of the board of directors, the chairperson, CEO, COO, CFO, Subcontractors and any person or entity with more than 10% interest in the company proposed for contract in this Agenda Item Report are attached in Exhibit 4, in accordance with the City Campaign Finance Ordinance No. 5744.

ALTERNATIVES
Alternative 1: Designate 711 E. Mountain Street as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, finding that the property meets designation Criterion 3, and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act contract, with conditions, between the City and the property owner.

Alternative 2: Reject designation/listing of 1639 Santa Barbara Avenue on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, finding that the property does not meet Criterion 3 or any other criteria.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: 1420 Winchester Avenue – Consideration of Glendale Register Nomination

1. Resolution to designate the residential property at 1420 Winchester Avenue as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources as the Bolaud House;

2. Motion to deny the request of the property owner to designate the residential property at 1420 Winchester Avenue as a historic resource on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for May 10, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner of 1420 Winchester Avenue, requests that the City Council authorize listing of the property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources. The house was designed in 1923 and is a good example of a Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence, though it has undergone significant alterations over the years.

On March 17, 2022, Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) reviewed the nomination and voted 3-2 to recommend that City Council vote to list 1420 Winchester Avenue in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources as the “Bolaud House.” The applicant had initially also requested a Mills Act historical property contract but verbally withdrew the application during the HPC hearing.

Planning staff’s recommendation to HPC was to find that the property does not meet the designation criteria for listing in the Glendale Register because of numerous inappropriate alterations. Staff continues to find the property ineligible and recommends that City Council vote to not list it in the Glendale Register. 107 of 144

RECOMMENDATION
HPC recommends (3-2) that City Council list the property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

Staff finds that the property does not meet the criteria for designation and therefore recommends that City Council vote to not list the property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

BACKGROUND
Historical Background
1420 Winchester Avenue is a two-story, single-family residence constructed in 1930, with the original owner, James H. Bolaud, listed as the builder. The nomination cites J.

Samuel as the architect of the building, but no documentation could be found to support this assertion. The property is located south of Brand Park in the El Miradero neighborhood. The house is located in a tract consisting of seventy-seven lots along Winchester and El Miradero Avenues. This land, formerly Leslie Brand’s airfield at the foot of his estate, was subdivided for residential development in 1926 and almost fully built out by 1940.

The residence was originally built for owner James H. Bolaud and no information on his career or life could be found. Julius W. Hulf, a music teacher, purchased the property sometime around 1935 and lived there for several decades. By 1958 it was owned by Victor J. Hydar, who worked for the State Department of Employment. The current owner, veteran animator Dennis Greco, purchased the property in 1994.

No information provided in the application suggests that the property is associated with any important events in national, state, or city history, or that it exemplifies significant contributions to the broad cultural, political, economic, social, tribal, or historic heritage of the nation, state, or city. It therefore does not appear eligible under Criterion 1. In addition, no current or previous owners appear to have made significant contributions to the history of Glendale or the region, and the residence does not appear eligible under Criterion 2.

Architectural Description
The residence is located on the southwest side of Winchester Avenue on a rectangular mid-block lot. The street gently slopes to the north towards Brand Park and the building is set back consistently with the surrounding development. The Spanish Colonial Revival-style house has a one-story massing to the south and rises to two stories at the north. It is clad in stucco and has a cross gabled low-pitched roof clad in two-piece red clay tiles. The roof has a generous eave overhang with exposed rafter tails. The primary façade is asymmetrical with a central entrance featuring a deeply recessed, canted 108 of 144
39 b
3 2
5 7
surround. The tongue-and-grove wood entry door features a glazed speakeasy opening. The entry is accessed by concrete steps with flanking concrete plinths that were clad with tile in the 1990s. These are mirrored at the sidewalk by two additional tile-clad plinths that were added in the 1990s, at which time the walkway was also replaced. Various windows on the primary façade include multi-light wood casement and fixed sash, and wood French doors with a wrought iron Juliet balcony at the second story. A small covered balcony with wood railings is located on the south side of the second floor. An end-wall chimney can be seen on the southwest façade with an interesting chimney cap detail. The trellised portal above the driveway was recently replaced. The new straight trellis recalls the general appearance of the original trellis but does not retain the gently curving shape of the original.

The side facades are generally simple in design. The northeast façade was altered with two additions at the first story which removed the original double hung wood windows replacing them with wood casement and tripartite windows with tile surrounds. The original wood windows can be seen along the second story on this façade. Two doorways open onto the backyard at either side of the rear façade. A non-original wood door to the north is accessed by a double concrete staircase and, to the south, a pair of French doors is accessed by a three-sided stairway that narrows as it rises. A non- original wood pergola extends from the building over this door that is supported by one post with a concrete-and-tile fountain at its base. The sleeping porch at the second floor was enclosed in 1939 and at some point louvered windows were installed around its perimeter. In the 1990s, the porch was rebuilt due to deterioration and new three-part fixed and casement wood windows were installed featuring a grid pattern not typically seen on houses of this style. The current owner also added several charming, but historically inappropriate, stained glass windows at several openings.

The rear yard includes an elevated patio added by the current owner. Stucco and rubble-stone retaining walls separate the concrete and paver patio that spans the entirety of the building from the open green space at the rear. A detached garage is located in the southeast corner of the lot. The garage has a square footprint, is clad in stucco, and has a gabled roof clad in red clay tiles. An aluminum roll-up door is located on the northwest façade and a wood entrance door faces southwest.

Though the house has been significantly altered, it still retains some notable character- defining features, including:
Irregular massing and asymmetrical façade
Red clay two-piece roof tiles
Stucco cladding
Exposed rafter tails
Wood entry door with speakeasy window set in deep, canted entry surround Numerous original multi-light wood windows
Covered wood balcony (rebuilt)
Wrought iron Juliet balcony at front facade
Brick-and-stucco chimney cap

Alterations and Integrity
While 1420 Winchester Avenue retains many aspects of its original design and a number of character-defining features, as noted above, it has unfortunately been altered over the years in ways that significantly reduce its historic integrity. These changes were made subsequent to the current owner’s purchase of the property in 1994. The alterations include:
replacement of the arched wood trellis over the driveway with a straight wood trellis;
addition of ceramic tile over the original concrete plinths flanking the entry door; construction of matching tile-clad plinths at either side of the front walkway at the sidewalk;
construction of new front walkway with tiles at the stair risers; addition of iron grilles on some front facade windows; construction of a small addition at the north (driveway) façade; installation of new wood 3-part windows at the addition and the rear façade with a muntin grid pattern that is not appropriate to the style and period of the house; insertion of vertical tiled panels at each side of these windows that are not appropriate to the style or period of the house;
installation of the same inappropriate 3-part windows, without the tile panels, at the three sides of the former sleeping porch;
replacement of some other original windows at locations on the north, south, and west facades, including several small stained glass windows; installation of iron window boxes at the rear facade; and addition of stone and tile work at the rear patio and yard.

ANALYSIS
By a 3-2 majority, the Historic Preservation Commission voted to recommend that City Council designate the property under Criterion 3, which states that a property must:
…embody the distinctive and exemplary characteristics of an architectural style, architectural type, period, or method of construction; or represent a notable work of a master designer, builder or architect whose genius influenced his or her profession; or possess high artistic values; and retain integrity.

The discussion of the Commissioners in the majority focused on the house being a more modest example of its style than is found with most nominations and their respect for the passion and creativity of the owner’s work on the property. One commissioner expressed a desire to protect and honor less-than-grand architectural specimens such as the subject property. It was also proposed that a less restrictive definition for the word “exemplary,” as found in designation Criterion 3, be used. In the case of the subject property, this leads to the house being viewed as “an example of” its style rather than, under a more restrictive (and more common) definition, as an example that is worthy of imitation or should serve as a pattern for the design of other houses. Staff believes an underlying, though incorrect, presumption of at least some of the commissioners in the majority led to the view that a property nominated without a Mills 110 of 144
59 b
3 2
5 7
Act request need not meet the same designation expectations or integrity thresholds as a property whose owners receive a property tax reduction. Staff strongly disputes this concept and has never employed it in either making eligibility determinations or in reviewing work proposed at any designated properties.

The commissioners in the minority expressed their concern that the extent of the alterations leads to the house not being “exemplary” and that the cumulative effect of the various alterations reduces the historic integrity of the property to a level they felt does not meet what is expected under Criterion 3. One commissioner noted that the historic integrity of a house that was originally a more modest example of its style suffers even more greatly when alterations are made, concluding that the subject property was too altered to maintain its integrity or qualify for designation.

Staff agrees with the dissenting commissioners and finds the property is too altered to retain the “distinctive and exemplary characteristics” of its style and construction period.

While it retains much of its overall original appearance and some character-defining features, the alterations are so extensive, and distributed so widely across the property, that its integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling are too compromised to meet Criterion 3. In addition, if work of this type and extent were proposed at a designated Glendale Register property, staff would not approve most of it because it would not meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

If City Council agrees with the HPC majority that the property meets the requirements for designation, it should find the property eligible for designation as a historic resource on the Glendale Register under Criterion 3.

Staff, however, continues to find that the property does not meet any of the designation criteria, as discussed above. If City Council agrees with the staff recommendation, it should find that the property is not eligible for listing under any of the designation criteria.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
There are no stakeholders other than the property owner.

FISCAL IMPACT
Listing historic properties in the Glendale Register has no fiscal impact. Though not currently requested, if the property owner requests a Mills Act contract in the future, such future property tax savings to private owners of listed historic properties under Mills Act contracts will slightly reduce City property tax revenues from the general County tax levy received from each Mills Act property.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
The names and business addresses of the members of the board of directors, the chairperson, CEO, COO, CFO, Subcontractors and any person or entity with more than 10% interest in the company proposed for contract in this Agenda Item Report are attached in Exhibit 4, in accordance with the City Campaign Finance Ordinance No. 5744.

ALTERNATIVES
Alternative 1: Designate 1420 Winchester Avenue as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, finding that the property meets designation Criterion 3.

Alternative 2: Reject designation/listing of 1420 Winchester Avenue on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, finding that the property does not meet Criterion 3 or any other criteria.

Alternative 3: Any other alternative not proposed by staff.

9 ARCHITECT WHOSE GENIUS INFLUENCED HIS OR HER PROFESSION ; OR POSSESS HIGH ARTISTIC In lieu of discovery of any other significant contribution by any previous residents of 1420 Winchester Ave, I tentatively put forth my wife Carol and myself, Dennis Greco. Together we have worked in the animation industry for a combined 60 years. As you are surely aware of the impact and importance of the studio systems ( Disney, Warner Bros., Dreamworks,etc.) to the health and prosperity of surrounding towns like Glendale.

You can look us up on IMDB to find out more about our credits as there are too many to list here. We have worked in Japan, England and Australia while always calling Glendale our home. We have worked as art directors, production designers, visual development artists, and color designers in live action, animated video movies/TV shows. I have also recently been honoured with one of my paintings being accepted into the Hampton Roads Museum of Naval History.

In the photos provided I have included a stained glass for our studio window that depicts the symbol of the animation disc used for a century before the computer took over the industry. It is in the style of the revival movement as a coat of arms. This is one more example of how much preservation means to us. The only thing missing is a brass plaque acknowledging the hard work and dedication to the betterment of the city we love, Glendale.

Yes. 1420 Winchester Ave in Glendale Ca. is an exemplary example of the Spanish revival style popularized in the 1920's and 30's all across the country, especially in California. It has survived through the decades with luck and what I call preservation through neglect.

The four owners previously did very little to upkeep and "modernize" the home. It survives today with almost all its original light fixtures, Malibu tile, original stencilling on huge beams that span the 10 1/2 ft ceilings, hand forged iron railings and gratings, exotic hardwood flooring with pegs, magnasite flooring on staircase, handmade roof tiles with finger prints, windows, mahogany doors, etc.

The home is perfectly balanced with a towering two story balcony on one side and a lower living room area with a picture window on the other side and t he entrance framed in the middle. This symmetry and proportion are also known as the golden mean and would have made its renaissance forbearers proud.

It's method of construction utilized all the finest materials available at the time, and still today, would be too expensive to reproduce, such as... true dimensi on lumber for the frame construction, hand made iron work and tile work, lathe and plaster walls, a utility basement, brick fireplace, large 6x6 patio beams, exot ic hardwoods throughout the home (mantle, floors, doors, windows). There is also a large crawl space throughout the footprint of the home.

Its durability speaks for itself; It has survived the Long Beach, Sylmar, and Northridge earthquakes, along with the neglect of basic upkeep for seven decades. T his is a perfect balance of artistry, durability and functionality. A rarity in today's world especially the artistry, every home built today is an off the shelf Home De pot application with no thought to beauty and style.

In our search for an example of one who contributed to the history of the nation we found Julius W. Huff Jr. sgt Marine corp. WW2 and Korea. 118 of 144

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ There is one more reason we feel that 1420 Winchester should be added to the list of historic designation and that is in my 28 years living here and being a member of the historic preservation society I have yet to see a better example of preservation with an eye to keeping the home as close as possible to its original character. Both inside and out, whenever possible we have purchased antique lighting, railings,tile and more. ( please see the photos provided ) So often I have seen homes stripped to the bone save the facade or a single wall standing. It won't be long before the character of the neighborhood is lost forever. I am passionate about preservation of all kinds and a lover of new construction techniques and styles.

There is a place for everything and everyone's taste, let this home be an example of the 1930's lifestyle.

If for no other reason you can find in favor of HD then please consider that this house is a living museum to a time gone by, an exemplar on how to care for a nearly 100 year old property and still enjoy the comforts of modern living. Thank you for your consideration.

The lot and land was owned by Leslie Coombs Brand. In 1912, he built his own grass airstrip below his Brand Castle mansion (Now Brand Library), calling it Brand Field. This was used as his personal runway to his home. On April 1, 1921, Brand held a Fly-in party that was the first of its kind.

The property is sitting on what was once Brand Field. The airfield was operational until about 1930. (See photos) The 100 year anniversary just went by on April 1, 2021. There is an upcoming documentary movie currently being made about the Fly-in party, and this neighborhood and block where our house now sits.
