RECOMMENDATION
Approve the motion authorizing a construction contract with Wright Construction Engineering Corp. for the Edgewick Road Improvement Project in the amount of $584,264 plus a 15 percent contract contingency of $87,640 and approve the resolution of appropriation from GWP in the amount of $730,330 to adequately fund the project.
ANALYSIS
As a result of a significant rain event in January 2023, a Glendale Water and Power (GWP) fire hydrant located on the southerly side of Edgewick Road failed.
Consequently, the slope supporting the existing roadway at 2950 Edgewick Road experienced erosion, leading to damage of a portion of the roadway. The Public Works Department hired an engineering consultant firm to study the stability of the slope and roadway. The firm was also hired to prepare project plans and specifications to implement improvements to the support the public right-of-way, reconstruct the roadway, install protective guard rails, install asphalt concrete dike, as well as other appurtenant work to prevent further erosion and sloughing, and to stabilize the area.
Project Location
The project is located on Edgewick Road between Paddington Road and Arundle Place.
Land use along the project consists of single-family homes.
Project Scope of Work
The project scope of work includes the following:
Slope repair at 2950 Edgewick Road with the installation of 48 linear feet of pile wall system (steel H-pile with precast concrete lagging); Removal of a section of the existing pavement and base and re-grading the roadway;
Installation of asphalt concrete pavement over crushed miscellaneous base; Installation of 72 linear feet of asphalt concrete dike along the southerly side of 2950 Edgewick Road;
Removal of existing damaged guardrails and installation of 87 linear feet of new Midwest Guard Rail (MGS) system with steel posts;
Sanitary sewer repair; and
Adjustment of existing manholes to finished grade.
On April 29, 2025, the City Council adopted the project plans and specifications and authorized the City Clerk to advertise the project for bids. The project was advertised in the Glendale Independent, the city’s website, as well as various online platforms.
On May 21, 2025, the city received six bids from contractors as follows:
1. Wright Construction Engineering Corp. $584,264
2. Clarke Contracting Corporation $776,701
3. Beador Construction Company, Inc. $825,300 35 of 324

4. Bosco Constructors, Inc. $880,444
5. Bedrock Group, Inc. $889,626
6. KEC Engineering $1,499,941
Upon review of the bid documents, staff finds the bid of Wright Construction Engineering Corp. of $584,264 to be the lowest responsive bid from a responsible bidder. The bid of Wright Construction Engineering Corp. in the amount of $584,264 is approximately 31% below the Engineer’s Estimate of $850,000.
In addition, staff recommends a reserve for contingencies in the amount of $87,640 or 15 percent of the bid amount. The contingency is based on previous experience with similar projects and is routine for projects of this scale and complexity. This will also allow staff to account for any incidental work, unforeseen field conditions that could be encountered during construction, underground utilities issues that could arise because of the nature of the project, and any resulting field modifications that may be necessary.
Furthermore, staff has budgeted approximately 10 percent of the construction amount, or $58,426 for construction management and engineering support services such as project management, project engineering, construction inspection, quality assurance, quality control, and materials testing.

Construction Bid $ 584,264
15% Contract Contingency $ 87,640
10% Construction Management & Engineering Support $ 58,426 Total Construction Cost $ 730,330
The State of California Contractor’s State License Board website confirmed that the license of Wright Construction Engineering Corp. is current, active, and in good standing.
Additionally, staff contacted the references provided by Wright Construction Engineering Corp. and found they had satisfactorily completed their projects.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in September 2025 and is scheduled for completion by November 2025.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
During the development of the project plans and specifications, staff has been in direct contact with the residents directly impacted by this project. Approximately one month before the commencement of construction, staff will prepare a notification postcard containing essential project details including a link to the project website. The postcard will be distributed to the residences that will be affected by the construction.
Additionally, the contractor will be responsible for distributing two distinct door hangers to the affected addresses. One set of door hangers will be provided two weeks prior to the start of any construction activity within the project area, while the second set will be distributed three days before construction begins.

Furthermore, outreach on this project will continue to occur through a dedicated website for the project that is hosted through the City of Glendale domain. The website familiarizes the public to the project and to the project team, explains the scope of work and project location, and provides the public with staff contact information for questions, discussion, and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Edgewick Road Improvement Project will cost $730,330, which was not included as part of the FY 2025-26 approved budget. Therefore, staff is requesting an appropriation of $730,330 from GWP’s Water Surplus Fund Balance. The appropriation request is outlined below:

ANALYSIS
Public Works completed the Maintenance District 6 Pavement Rehabilitation Project – Phase I in 2023, which addressed the community’s need for resurfaced roadways, pedestrian upgrades, and tree plantings. The Maintenance District 6 Pavement Rehabilitation Project – Phase II aims to continue the same objectives and is part of the city’s annual effort to rehabilitate roadway pavements in residential neighborhoods using various pavement treatment methods.
Street resurfacing involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal maintenance work. It typically consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement, followed by either the placement of 1.5-inches of Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) pavement wearing surface over a 0.5-inch to variable thickness AC leveling course; or the placement of 2-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface. This method improves the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.
Asphalt Rubber Aggregate Membrane (ARAM) System III involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal street resurfacing methods. It typically consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing AC pavement, followed by the placement of 1.5-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface, over a 3/8-inch ARAM surface. This method improves the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.
ARAM System I is another cost-efficient pavement treatment which prolongs the service life and prevents further deterioration of the pavement, improves the ride characteristics of the roadway, and reinforces the structural integrity of the pavement. It involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal maintenance work and consists of the placement of Slurry Seal over a 3/8-inch ARAM surface. This method is used for sealing aged and cracked pavements and restoring skid resistance and wearing surfaces that are worn beyond slurry seal treatment methods.
Project Location
The project is located in Maintenance District 6, bordered by Cañada Boulevard to the east, San Gabriel Avenue to the north, Hermosita Drive to the west, and Opechee Way to the south.
Project Scope of Work
The project scope of work includes the following:
Application of approximately 0.2 centerline miles of emulsion aggregate slurry over ARAM (ARAM System I);
Approximately 0.6 centerline miles of surface grinding and placement of ARHM; Approximately 2.2 centerline miles of surface grinding and Placement of ARHM over ARAM (ARAM System III);
Selective removal/reconstruction of deteriorated pavement and placement of asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete pavement; 43 of 324

Selective removal, repair, and reconstruction of approximately 24,500 linear feet of damaged and/or new curbs and gutters, and 34,500 square feet of sidewalks, driveways, cross gutters, alley aprons, and local depressions; Construction and modification of 34 curb ramps to meet ADA guidelines; Adjustment of existing manholes, utility valves, and water meters to finished grade;
Planting of 96 new street trees;
60 linear feet of sanitary sewer point repairs and more than 6,300 linear feet of lining; and
Removal and replacement of existing traffic striping and pavement markings.
Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Public Works Department crews cleaned and inspected the city’s wastewater infrastructure within the project area and reported observed deficiencies, damages, and needed repairs. During project design, staff evaluated the damages and existing conditions and prepared the plans and specifications for these sewer repairs.
Sanitary sewer improvements as part of this project include repairs to the existing sewer infrastructures that are broken, damaged, and/or pose maintenance issues. The following sewer improvements will be performed as part of this project:
1. Point Repairs consists of the removal of the surface pavement, excavation to the depth below the existing sewer pipe, performing a temporary sewer bypass, replacing broken or damaged portion of sewer pipe with in-kind pipe size and material, trench backfill, and finally, trench resurfacing. This work is performed on the damaged portion of the sewer main line which cannot be repaired using trenchless methods.
2. Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) lining is a trenchless rehabilitation method and consists of installation of a resin liner that cures to create a hard structural finish inside a damaged pipe. CIPP lining can either be performed in short segments or on the entire sewer main between two manholes depending on the frequency of the existing cracks in the sewer main.
Tree Plantings
A total of 96 new street trees will be planted in vacant locations to infill the street canopy and expand the urban forest as part of this project.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The proposed project includes improvements that will comply with current Federal ADA guidelines.
On April 29, 2025, the City Council adopted the project plans and specifications and authorized the City Clerk to advertise the project for bids. The project was advertised in the Glendale Independent, the city’s website, as well as various online platforms.
On May 21, 2025, the city received two bids from contractors as follows:

2024 Specialized Equipment Use Report
1 GLENDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT
INTRODUCTION
The Glendale Police Department is committed to maintaining public safety by providing the highest quality of police services to the City of Glendale. The Department retains and employs a wide variety of specialized equipment to aid in de-escalating intense situations or to bring volatile conditions and critical incidents to a safe resolution. The mere possession of this equipment does not guarantee its use in every circumstance.
The Glendale Police Department recognizes that critical incidents are unpredictable and can be very dynamic in nature. A variety of specialized equipment options can greatly help incident commanders, officers, and specific units in bringing those incidents to a swift resolution in a safe manner. The use of specialized equipment is limited to specific instances and, in some cases, certain units. While the procedures for specialized equipment are comprehensive, they do not cover every possible scenario. There may be situations where incident commanders need to authorize the use of specialized equipment in a manner not explicitly outlined in Departmental procedures. In such cases, the judgment of the incident commander, based on the totality of the circumstances, public safety, officer safety, civil rights, and available information at the time, will be used.
It is the responsibility of incident commanders, supervisors, individual officers, and specific units to recognize when the use of specialized equipment is necessary to enhance public and officer safety and to bring critical incidents to a safe resolution.
The Glendale Police Department does not have any equipment obtained from the military, nor does it use equipment designed for military purposes. The Department also does not receive or use surplus military equipment from the Federal government. The Department’s policy is to acquire and use equipment that is specifically designed to enhance municipal law enforcement’s capability to ensure public safety and welfare.
Items classified as “military equipment” by Government Code §7070 are considered a part of the overall best practices for law enforcement agencies across the country. This equipment has been field-tested and are used by law enforcement agencies to improve community and officer safety. The term “military equipment” in Government Code §7070 does not necessarily refer to equipment that has been used by the military. Pursuant to AB 481, items classified as “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper-ball launchers, less-lethal shotguns, less- lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long-range acoustic devices, and distraction devices. The Glendale Police Department’s policy is to acquire and use equipment designed to enhance law enforcement’s ability to ensure public safety and welfare. It is also the Department’s policy that its members comply with the provisions of Government Code §7071 regarding the use of “military equipment." The Glendale Police Department’s Specialized Equipment Use Policy establishes guidelines for the acquisition, funding, use, and reporting of “military equipment”, as the term is defined in Government Code §7070(c).
The equipment identified as “military equipment” in Government Code §7070(c) is referred to as “Specialized Equipment” in this policy and for all reporting purposes.
In addition to maintaining the highest levels of public safety, the Glendale Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, community partnerships, and compliance with the law. As such, the Department has authored the following 2024 Specialized Equipment Use Report in accordance with annual reporting requirements set forth in AB 481.
With this indispensable equipment and relentless fortitude, the Glendale Police Department continues to stand ready to fulfill our mission: to protect Glendale, preserve trust, and maximize our potential. 60 of 324

FISCAL IMPACT
For Fiscal Year 2024-2025 the Glendale Police Department’s Adopted Budget was approximately $137,883,863 with the majority of the budget allocated to personnel expenses. The budget amount spent on specialized equipment represents only a small fraction of the Department’s expenses. However, the funds spent on specialized equipment are crucial for providing the necessary resources and materials to ensure the safety of the community and officers. The existing inventory of specialized equipment plays a significant role in enhancing the Department’s capabilities and is of great importance from a public safety perspective.
The use of specialized equipment and special tactics are skills that require ongoing training to maintain proficiency. While the Department conducts regular training within its Training Bureau, and specialized units such as SWAT and CNT, participating in external training courses can provide significant tactical insight and an enhanced skillset. These courses offer officers a curriculum and exercises designed to impart knowledge, skills, and enhanced capability. The specific courses attended by officers can vary each year based on operational needs. Funding for training is secured through the General Fund or grants unless otherwise indicated.

50 PROJECTED ACQUISITIONS IN 2025
Projected consumable specialized equipment acquisitions for Fiscal Year 2026 (July 2025 - June 2026) should be in line with current replenishment schedules and quantities for consumables. A variety of commercial factors (i.e. supply and demand, inflation, supply chain issues etc.) may influence the fiscal impact of future specialized equipment acquisitions and ongoing specialized equipment purchases throughout the year. The replenishment schedules for specialized equipment consumables can vary and are dictated by inventory levels that fluctuate as a result of training, operational usage, or manufacturer recommended replacement guidelines.
Projected non-consumable specialized equipment acquisitions for Fiscal Year 2026 are anticipated to be limited at this time. Any unanticipated replacements of existing non-consumable specialized equipment for Fiscal Year 2026 will be initiated on a case-by-case basis that is dependent on operational need, operational wear, or end of serviceable lifespan.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: The Glorietta Park Field Light Replacement Project, Adopt Specification
1. Resolution adopting Specification No. 4025 for the Glorietta Park Field Light Replacement Project and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for July 29, 2025 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project specification has been completed for the Glorietta Park Field Light Replacement Project. This project involves the replacement of the existing field lighting system to improve visibility, safety, and energy efficiency for park users. In addition, the scope includes the replacement of one of the light poles that recently fell. These improvements will enhance the overall user experience for athletes and spectators alike. The intent of this item is for the City Council to adopt the project specification and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution adopting Specification No. 4025 for the Glorietta Park Field Light Replacement Project and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
ANALYSIS
Glorietta Park Field, situated in the heart of Glendale, California, is a well-established community recreation facility that serves a wide range of users. A hub for local youth sports, including baseball, softball, soccer, and evening league play, the field hosts numerous practices, games, and community events throughout the year. Located adjacent to playgrounds, walking paths, and picnic areas, the field is a vital recreational anchor that supports healthy lifestyle and social gathering opportunities for neighborhood families.
The existing field lighting at Glorietta Park, originally installed over four decades ago, has become increasingly deficient. The aging metal-halide fixtures are prone to frequent bulb burnouts, provide uneven field illumination, and consume substantially more 111 of 324

0 6
energy compared to modern alternatives. This results in higher utility costs, increased maintenance demands, and inconsistent visibility that can compromise safety for players and spectators, especially during evening activities.
In recent months, one of the park's light poles collapsed due to structural fatigue exacerbated by weather exposure. While no injuries occurred, the failure exposed a critical safety risk and underscores the importance of ensuring structural integrity across the lighting system. The fallen pole has since been removed and stored off-site, leaving the field with an inadequate number of lighting fixtures to support safe evening use.
In response to these concerns, the city has prepared a comprehensive project to replace all existing field lights with new, energy-efficient LED fixtures. These modern LED systems offer superior performance benefits, including:
Uniform illumination across the playing surface, reducing shadows and glare Longer lifespans and significantly lower maintenance requirements Dramatically reduced energy consumption, translating into lower operational costs
Improved color rendering, enhancing visibility and experience for athletes and fans
Additionally, the project will replace the fallen pole with a structurally sound, engineered replacement designed to meet current building codes and withstand local environmental conditions. This proactive approach emphasizes public safety and visual consistency across the field.
Once implemented, the upgraded lighting infrastructure will deliver safer, more reliable, and cost-effective evening use of Glorietta Park Field—ensuring the facility continues to support community health and recreation well into the future.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The work will be coordinated with the contractor and the Community Services & Parks Department staff to minimize any disruptions to operations and the public.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current Engineer’s estimate for the construction of this project is $265,000 which was included as a part of the FY 2025-26 budget as detailed below.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Report: Adopt Plans and Specification for the Maple Park Gym Ceiling Replacement Project, per Specification No. 4020
1. Resolution adopting the Plans and Specification No. 4020 for the Maple Park Gym Ceiling Replacement Project and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
COUNCIL ACTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project plans and specifications have been completed for the Maple Park Gym Ceiling Replacement Project. This project aims to remove and replace the noise dampening tiles on the gym ceiling. The existing tiles, installed in 2009, were glued on to prevent disturbing the underlying drywall joint compound that contains asbestos.
Over time, a substantial percentage of the tiles have fallen, creating a hazard for gym users and generating excessive noise. This project aims to abate the asbestos containing materials and install new modern style acoustical panels that absorb more noise and are mechanically secured to prevent falling in the future.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution to adopt the Plans and Specification for the Maple Park Gym Ceiling Replacement Project and direct the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
ANALYSIS
The Maple Park Gym has a beautifully arched high ceiling held up by arched wood rafters. Small 1-foot by 1-foot sound dampening tiles have been glued to the ceiling between the rafters to reduce the loud echoing in the gym as part of a building remodeling project in 2009. The glue holding the tiles has passed its expected lifespan, and certain areas of tiles that had become loose were removed to prevent them from falling from the ceiling. As a result, large areas of ceiling are now showing the unattractive drywall and joint plaster base layer that used to be hidden by the layer of sound dampening tiles. The removal of the tiles has also significantly increased the Item Type: Consent Calendar

2 echo in the gym, making the space noticeably louder. The drywall and joint plaster base layer were tested for asbestos. The joint plaster compound tested positive for levels of asbestos that are above acceptable and must be properly abated.
Instead of replacing the ceiling tiles with a similar glue-on product (replacement tiles have become almost obsolete), the proposed replacement method would utilize modern acoustical panels which would be screwed in place to prevent them from falling due to aging glue or impacts from gym use.
The scope of work for the Maple Park Gym Ceiling Replacement project includes:
Abatement of existing sound dampening ceiling tiles, underlying drywall base layer and asbestos containing drywall joint compound.
Installation of a new ceiling drywall base layer
Installation of modern sound absorbing panels on the ceiling Work must start and be completed between December 2025 and January 2026.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Public Works Department staff will coordinate with the Community Services and Parks Department to minimize the disruption to the public and operations.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report, at this time. The Maple Park Gym Ceiling Replacement project is included as a part of the FY 2025-26 budget in the Building Maintenance and Capital Improvement Fund. Staff will return to council to award the contract.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
This project is Categorically Exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 2 exemption pursuant state CEQA Guidelines, Section 15302.
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Do not approve the resolution adopting specifications for this project. The Public Works and Parks Departments will continue to service and manage use of the gym in its current condition. However, it is anticipated that conditions may continue to deteriorate, potentially creating safety hazards for community members.
2. Consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) has a long-standing history of designing and implementing innovative services that create the workforce that employers need in the Verdugo Workforce Development Area, which consists of the Cities of Glendale, Burbank and La Cañada Flintridge. Since 2016, the VWDB has been working with BioScience business partners, community colleges and the Verdugo Jobs Center 121 of 324

(VJC) to create the Biocom Institute Technician Certification (BioTC) and develop a pool of qualified job candidates for the industry employers to interview and hire.
In February 2025, the VWDB was awarded $850,000 of Additional Assistance 25% Governor’s Discretionary Grant Funds for BioPharma 3 (AA BioPharma 3) project. This is the third grant awarded for the VWDB’s BioTC initiative. The BioTC initiative offers digital credentials to students who complete approved community college BioScience programs at no cost; this credential increases the likelihood for employment in the Life Sciences industry. To fulfill the grant outcomes, and as included in the grant application, the VWDB is requesting approval to enter into contracts with Biocom California Institute in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for business engagement services and for technical assistance services to community colleges working to launch Biotechnology programs, and with Los Angeles Mission College in an amount not to exceed $123,200 to administer certification exams and generate the BioTC digital certification badges. Both of these vendors were included in the grant application due to their expertise in the Life Science industry. The total amount of these two contracts of $323,200 will be covered by the grant award. Without approval of these contracts the VWDB will not be able to meet the requirements of the AA BioPharma 3 grant.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council:
(1) Accept the Additional Assistance 25% Governor’s Discretionary BioPharma 3 Grant funds in the amount of $850,000 from the State of California, Employment Development Department; and authorize the City Manager, or a designee, to enter into and execute all agreements, amendments, certifications, and documents necessary to accept and implement the funding, subject to the approval by the City Attorney;
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or a designee, to enter into and execute a Contract with Biocom California Institute in an amount not to exceed $200,000 from the Additional Assistance 25% Governor’s Discretionary BioPharma 3 grant for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, subject to the approval by the City Attorney; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager, or a designee, to enter into and execute a Contract with Los Angeles Community College District on behalf of Los Angeles Mission College in an amount not to exceed $123,200 from the Additional Assistance 25% Governor’s Discretionary BioPharma 3 grant for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, subject to the approval by the City Attorney.
ANALYSIS
The Verdugo Consortium is a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) comprised of the Cities of Glendale, Burbank, and La Cañada Flintridge. The Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) is the planning and policy body for the Consortium. Its purpose is to provide employment and training programs within the three cities and to allocate and 122 of 324
4g3
25-87671
5 9
2 8
award Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds toward its goals. Through the JPA, the City of Glendale (City) has responsibility for the administration of all Consortium activities, including the execution of contracts with vendors to deliver workforce services.
In 2021 the VWDB was awarded WIOA Governor’s Discretionary 25% Additional Assistance (AA) Grant in the amount of $650,000, initiating the BioPharma 1 grant which included contracts with Los Angeles Community College District on behalf of Los Angeles Mission College (LAMC) and Biocom California Institute (Biocom). These organizations were also included in the grant applications for the BioPharma 2 grant which was $650,000, and now the BioPharma 3 grant.
The AA BioPharma 3 grant, in an amount of $850,000, is a non-traditional infrastructure grant, offering digital credentials to students who complete approved community college BioScience programs at no cost. Students who receive a 70% score or higher earn a BioTechnology Technician Credential (BioTC). The grant also allows for business engagement services, as well as technical assistance to community colleges to develop these programs. The AA BioPharma 3 grant is an 18-month grant with a start date of January 1, 2025 and end date of June 30, 2026. It is common for grants to be awarded after the start date of the grant based on grantor’s approval procedures. Although the grant period begins on January 1, 2025 , the contracts are scheduled to begin on July 1, 2025, and will conclude on June 30, 2026.
Under the AA BioPharma 3 grant, LAMC will continue to serve as the as the “hub” for administering the assessment to students from community colleges and generating the digital credential to eligible students, as they have held in prior grants.
LAMC will review and modify the assessment instrument based on input from business, students and instructors from other colleges. Under the AA BioPharma 3 grant, they will administer a minimum of 12 exams. Per the grant budget, the LAMC Contract will be in an amount not to exceed $123,200.
The AA BioPharma 3 grant also allows for increased business engagement from BioScience businesses. Biocom, as the Life Science industry association, represents hundreds of businesses in this industry which allows for employer connection to hire credentialed students. Under this grant, Biocom will also assist in providing technical assistance to colleges developing a biotechnology program, including aligning their curricula to the assessment competencies and assessing students’ readiness for the exam. They will coordinate and host business forums, adding to the successful business engagement forums held in prior years. Technical assistance guides and exam preparation workshops will also be added to their scope of work to further prepare students for the BioTC. The Biocom Institute contract will be in an amount not to exceed $200,000.
LAMC and Biocom have existing contracts that overlap multiple program years. A summary of the vendors’ current contracts is provided below which includes the proposed allocations for the AA BioPharma 3 grant:

Overall, the VWDB will continue to coordinate the project with all partners specified in the grant, ensuring that all deliverables are accomplished in accordance with grant requirements. The vendors, LAMC and Biocom, are partners included in the AA BioPharma 3 grant application to provide services. Upon completion, this grant will allow the VWDB to assess an estimated 120 students and maintain a 90% pass rate and 85% entered employment rate in the Life Science industry.
The remainder of the grants funds of $526,800 will be used to cover expenses related to individualized job match for community college students who complete a bioscience program, the development of an expansion plan which will allow additional community colleges to participate in the BioTC, and development of collateral materials for outreach to businesses and students. The grant will also cover staff costs for project and administrative coordination of the BioTC initiative as well as travel costs to conferences, outreach events, and symposium events, including Life Science and Community College conferences where staff can promote the BioTC initiative.

AGENDA ITEM
CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
:;
Report: Introduction of an Ordinance adopting the 2025 Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps as recommended by the California State Fire Marshal.
1. Introduction of Ordinance.
COUNCIL ACTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) is legally required to periodically update Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) within Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) across the state. In accordance with California Government Code Sections 51177– 51179, Cal Fire has issued updated FHSZ designations for the City of Glendale’s LRA.
The City has been formally notified that it must adopt, at a minimum, the areas designated by Cal Fire no later than 120 days from March 24, 2025. Under the updated maps, the number of Glendale parcels classified within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) will increase by 7,410, bringing the total to 16,383 parcels.
This expanded designation will impose additional fire safety requirements on affected properties, including enhanced vegetation management (brush clearance), use of fire- resistant building materials, and disclosure obligations during real estate transactions.
The increase in designated parcels will also have a financial impact on the City. While costs are expected to rise due to higher processing fees paid to the City’s billing contractor and the likely need to hire additional fire inspection personnel, these will be offset by increased revenue from inspection fees. Based on current cost and revenue projections, the City anticipates a net annual revenue gain of approximately $5,000.
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved forJuly 15, 2025 calendar
135 of 324
2 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce the Ordinance to designate the Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) within the Local Responsibility Area identified by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) as required by Government Code Section 51178.
ANALYSIS
Assembly Bill 337 (Bates, 1992), enacted in response to the catastrophic Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire of 1991, requires Cal Fire to evaluate fire hazard severity within the LRA and recommend zoning designations to local agencies where Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) are present (Government Code Section 51175).
The LRA encompasses incorporated cities, urbanized areas, agricultural lands, and portions of the desert where local agencies are responsible for wildfire protection, as defined in California Public Resources Code Section 4125.
The last adoption of FHSZ maps for the LRA occurred in 2007, as required by state law.
These zones are categorized as Moderate, High, or Very High. At that time, only Very High designations applied to the City of Glendale and were formally adopted through Ordinance No. 5609. However, Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021) amended Government Code Section 51178 to expand the designations to include High and Moderate zones within LRAs, including Glendale.
While the City may expand upon the zones recommended by the State Fire Marshal per Government Code Section 51179(b), it may not reduce or exclude any designated areas.
The 2025 update includes expanded boundaries for Glendale, increasing the designated FHSZ area from 12,242 acres to 14,968 acres. The number of non-vacant parcels within the Very High zone will grow from 8,973 to 16,383—an 83% increase. These updates were determined through a parcel-level analysis of Cal Fire’s datasets, completed with support from the Public Works Engineering GIS Unit.
Regulatory Impacts:
Upon adoption of the updated FHSZ maps, properties located within the Very High zones will be subject to the vegetation management requirements outlined in Government Code Section 51182. Additionally, all new construction or major remodels—when classified by the Building Official as new construction—must comply with the ignition-resistant building standards of Chapter 7A of the California Building Standards Code.
Similarly, parcels within High Fire Hazard Severity Zones will be subject to Chapter 7A construction requirements for wildfire resilience in cases of new development or major remodels. Furthermore, parcels located in either the Very High or High zones must disclose their hazard status during real estate transactions, in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1102.19 (AB 38, 2019).
136 of 324
3 Next Steps and Compliance:
In compliance with Government Code Section 51179(c), the City must transmit a copy of the adopted ordinance to the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection within 30 days of adoption. Additionally, a notice must be posted with the Los Angeles County Recorder, County Assessor, and County Planning Agency, identifying the availability and location of the new FHSZ map as provided by the State Fire Marshal [Government Code Section 51179(g)].
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
All added properties designated in the Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) within the Local Responsibility Areas are considered stakeholders in this program. Information regarding the map updates is posted on the Fire Department website, which has a dedicated link to submit public comments or to ask questions. The Fire Department has also hosted multiple community forums where this program was presented and allowed for residents to engage in question-and-answer sessions. Properties that are affected will receive mailed notification from the Fire Department prior to the inspection cycle scheduled to begin in Spring of 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of the new Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps will have significant financial implications for the Fire Department, particularly in terms of staffing and operational costs associated with the expanded Vegetation Management Program. Annual expenses would be expected to increase by approximately $306,000 to cover the fully burdened cost of hiring additional personnel necessary to perform the mandated annual inspections, as well as anticipated increases in processing fees from our billing contractor.
To meet these new requirements, the department is projecting the need to add two full-time Fire Prevention Inspectors. However, with an additional 7,410 parcels now requiring inspection, the City is projected to generate approximately $311,000 in new revenue from inspection fees, based on the existing Citywide Fee Schedule.
This would result in a net positive financial impact of approximately $5,000 annually. As a result, the cost of the additional staffing would be fully offset by the increased revenue generated through the expanded program.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
CEQA does not apply to projects where the lead agency determines "with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment."

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Request for Proposal for the Design-Build of the Grandview Library Roofing and Solar Project.
1) Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works, or his designee, to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) using the Design-Build Alternative Project Delivery Method for the Grandview Library Roofing and Solar Project.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for July 29, 2025 Calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report seeks approval of the City Council to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design-build of a 30-year warrantied membrane type overlay on the existing roof with a photovoltaic energy generation system at the Grandview Library.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to issue an RFP using the Design-Build Alternative Project Delivery Method for the Grandview Library Roofing and Solar Project.
ANALYSIS
The Grandview Library’s roof has surpassed its end of life. Water leaks are regularly reported after each major seasonal rain event. These leaks are spot repaired, but new leaks develop at different locations, allowing water to enter during the following rain event.
The leaks are damaging the library books and the internal structure of the building while promoting the risk of mold growth. The City would like to seek a Contractor to provide a long-lasting worry-free roofing solution in the form of a 30-year-warrantied membrane type roof system which the design-build approach will provide.
The design build project approach is preferred due to the significant benefits from having a single firm responsible for both the design and construction project phases including improved accountability, speed and cost control.
Taking advantage of the benefits of modern roofing systems, the City would like the Contractor to also install a photovoltaic electricity generation system on the library’s 143 of 324
29a
6 2
2 6
expansive flat roof. This system would not only decrease the carbon footprint of the building by offsetting it with green energy production, but also by decreasing HVAC cooling requirements of the library with the shade created by the solar panels.
The scope of work for the Grandview Library Roofing and Solar Project includes:
Design-Build a 30-year-warrantied membrane type roofing system. Design-Build a photovoltaic electricity generation system that reasonably maximizes energy production with the rooftop footprint.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Public Works Department staff will coordinate with the City Library, Arts, and Culture Department to minimize the disruption to the public and operations.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. The cost for the Grandview Library Roofing and Solar Project construction phase is included as a part of the FY 2025-26 budget. No new appropriation is needed at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is Categorically Exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 2 exemption pursuant state CEQA Guidelines, Section 15302.
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Do not approve the Resolution. Public Works and the Library, Arts, and Culture Departments will continue to service and manage the use of the library in its current condition. New roof leaks are expected to continue occurring with every seasonal rain event, causing ongoing damage to the building’s internal structures, library books, and other contents. Additionally, the decision to forgo utilization of the library’s flat roof for photovoltaic energy production may increase the carbon footprint of the building.
2.Consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Contract with AVEVA Software LLC for Continued Support and Expansion of Glendale Water & Power Department’s PI Historian System.
1. Resolution dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into and execute an Agreement with AVEVA Software LLC for a total term of six years in the not-to-exceed amount of $904,781 for the initial three-year term, for continued support and expansion of Glendale Water & Power Department’s PI Historian System. Funding for the second three-year renewal term will be requested as part of the City’s annual budget process.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action
Approved for July 29, 2025 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Glendale Water & Power (GWP) is seeking City Council approval to enter into a new six-year agreement with AVEVA Software LLC (AVEVA), structured as an initial three-year term with the option to renew for an additional three years. The City will not be obligated to execute the second order form if it chooses not to move forward.
This new agreement is necessary due to AVEVA’s acquisition of OSIsoft, the original developer of the PI System in 2021, requiring GWP to transition from its previous contract with OSIsoft to a new agreement under AVEVA.
The PI System is now deeply embedded within GWP’s operations and will serve as the central data historian for both the Scholl Canyon and Grayson Power Plants.
AVEVA is the exclusive provider of the OSIsoft PI Historian software. The proposed initial three-year order form with AVEVA Software LLC has a not-to-exceed value of $904,781, covering software licensing, support, and system expansion. Should the City wish to renew the order form for a second three-year term, the funding will be requested as part of in the City’s annual budget process.
RECOMMENDATION
Dispense with competitive bidding and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with AVEVA for a total term of six years, structured as an initial three-year term for a total not to exceed amount of $904,781. This Agreement will provide continued support and expansion of GWP’s PI Historian System. 153 of 324

ANALYSIS
Originally deployed in 2011, the PI Historian System was implemented to support GWP’s SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) infrastructure, collecting amperage and voltage data from feeders and substation transformers across all 15 substations. The initial use of the PI Historian System focused on delivering real-time situational awareness of critical parameters such as feeder loading, breaker status, and voltage levels. This allowed operators to quickly detect abnormal conditions or emerging trends before they led to outages or equipment failures. By providing a centralized view of the transmission system, the solution improved operational efficiency, supported better decision-making, and enabled information sharing across multiple departments.
Over time, the system has significantly expanded to include usage and voltage data from GWP’s 92,000 electric meters, energy trading data from power management operations, and key performance indicators (KPIs) supporting customer engagement programs. In 2023, GWP further enhanced the system by integrating PowerRunner software, enabling detailed distribution transformer load analysis for the Electrical Engineering Division. This enables the utility to identify overloaded transformers and take proactive measures to prevent outages caused by equipment failures. Future plans include leveraging the system to analyze electric vehicle (EV) and photovoltaic (PV) loading patterns
On February 4, 2020, the City Council authorized an expansion of this program through an Enterprise Program Agreement (EPA), enabling GWP to collect and integrate data from multiple sources into a single system. This expansion supports real-time analytics for monitoring and managing field equipment, systems, and assets across the utility.
On March 19, 2021, AVEVA completed its acquisition of OSIsoft to strengthen its leadership in industrial software by merging two highly complementary product portfolios. OSIsoft’s PI System, widely recognized as the industry standard for real-time operational data collection, storage, and visualization, was combined with AVEVA’s suite of tools for engineering, asset performance management, and cloud-based solutions. As a result, AVEVA is now the official provider and owner of the OSIsoft PI System.
AVEVA has transitioned to a subscription-based pricing model utilizing Flex Credits.
GWP will subscribe to an asset-based model, which supports both on-premises and hybrid (cloud-enabled) deployments. The total number of Flex Credits allocated for the three-year order form is 51,840, corresponding to a contract value of $904,781. This structure provides GWP with the flexibility to maintain its current PI System while also exploring other integrators and solutions within the broader AVEVA product suite.
Flex Credit Allocation:
AVEVA Product Code Description Quantity
FLEXCR-003 Flex Credits for On-Premises
Products 4,068
FLEXCR-002 Flex Credits for Cloud Services 47,772
FLEXCR-001 Total AVEVA Flex Credits 51,840
154 of 324

GWP will be subscribing under the AVEVA Customer FIRST Program - Elite Service Level, ensuring premium support and access to the latest tools and updates. This new model maintains ongoing support for GWP’s existing PI infrastructure while enabling seamless scalability and future innovation through AVEVA’s integrated platform.
Several local utilities have transitioned from the OSIsoft Enterprise Agreement to a subscription-based contract, including:
Pacific Gas & Electric
Southern California Edison
Arizona Public Service
Public Service of New Mexico
The following are currently transitioning:
Northern California Power Association
Tucson Electric Power

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed contract with AVEVA Software LLC to expand GWP’s PI Historian Software and licensing agreement for an additional three years has a not-to-exceed total of $904,781.
Funding for annual support and maintenance, beginning in Fiscal Year 2025-26, will be requested as part of GWP’s annual budget process. The support and maintenance will cost $287,021 in the first year, which was approved as part of the FY 2025-26 budget. No new appropriation is being requested at this time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Community Development Department, in partnership with the Information Technology Department, is requesting $110,000 in appropriations to fund a comprehensive technology refresh at the Alex Theatre. This project is necessary to address the aging and increasingly unreliable network and security infrastructure currently in place. The work will involve replacing outdated network cabling that connects six Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) locations, installing new fiber optic lines between those locations, and upgrading the core network equipment. This includes replacing network switches, the firewall, wireless access points, and the entire camera surveillance system.
The goal of this refresh is to bring the Theatre’s technology infrastructure up to modern standards, improve performance and reliability, and ensure the venue is equipped to support current and future operational needs. This investment will also reduce the risk of service interruptions during public events and help ensure that building operations remain stable and secure, which is essential for the safety and experience of patrons. 163 of 324

RECOMMENDATION
That the Council approve the proposed technology refresh project for the Alex Theatre, including the appropriation of $110,000 for the purchase and installation of new network and security equipment and authorize the Deputy Director of Finance-Purchasing to process an Amendment to the competitively bid voice and data network cabling contract with Wilsys Communications to increase the not to exceed amount by $45,000.
ANALYSIS
The current technology infrastructure at the Alex Theatre has reached the end of its useful life. The network cabling that runs throughout the facility is outdated and has become increasingly unreliable, leading to intermittent connectivity issues and degraded performance. The network switches that form the backbone of the theatre’s digital operations are more than ten years old. These switches are no longer supported by the manufacturer and lack the capabilities needed to handle modern data traffic, security protocols, and device management.
Under the existing lease agreement with Evensong (formerly SAS), the City is responsible for the repair and maintenance of Theatre building systems and equipment, including utilities, electrical, security, power and life-safety systems, among others. (Lease, Art. 9 Section 9.2). The physical network systems staff is seeking to upgrade are building systems for which the City, as landlord, has responsibility to repair and maintain.
In addition to the network issues, the theatre’s camera surveillance system is also in a state of disrepair. The recording functionality of the system has failed in several areas, making it difficult or impossible to review footage when needed. This poses a significant risk to the safety and security of the venue, its staff, and its patrons.
The proposed project will address all of these issues by replacing the existing copper cabling with new, high-performance cabling and installing fiber optic lines to connect the six IDF locations. This will dramatically improve the speed and reliability of the network.
The outdated switches will be replaced with modern, managed switches that support current standards and provide better control and visibility into network performance. The firewall will be upgraded to enhance the theatre’s cybersecurity posture, and new wireless access points will be installed to ensure strong and consistent Wi-Fi coverage throughout the facility. Finally, the camera system will be replaced with a new, high-definition IP- based system that includes reliable recording and playback capabilities.
This refresh is not only necessary to resolve current issues but also to future-proof the theatre’s infrastructure for years to come. It will reduce maintenance costs, improve operational efficiency, and provide a safer and more secure environment. Most importantly, it will significantly reduce the risk of technical failures during public events, ensuring that building operations remain uninterrupted and that the safety and security of patrons is not compromised. Given the theatre’s role as a public venue and cultural landmark, maintaining reliable infrastructure is essential to supporting community engagement and public trust.

The City has an existing multi-year contract with Wilsys Communications (term expires in 2028); Wilsys Communications is fully qualified to undertake this work on the City’s behalf.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
No outreach is necessary for this report.
FISCAL IMPACT
The technology refresh will cost $110,000, which was not included as a part of the FY 2025-26 Budget. Therefore, staff is requesting an appropriation of $110,000 from the General Fund undesignated fund balance. The appropriation request is outlined below:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
This project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as it involves the repair and maintenance of existing public facilities with no expansion of use.
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Council could choose to delay or deny the project. However, this would leave the theatre operating with unreliable and outdated infrastructure, increasing the risk of system failures, security incidents, and higher maintenance costs. A partial upgrade could be considered, but it would not fully resolve the underlying issues and may result in inefficiencies or compatibility problems.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
170 of 324
2 Report: Public Hearing for Weed Abatement Charges for FY 2024-25
1. Resolution confirming weed abatement charges.
COUNCIL ACTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fire Department’s Vegetation Management Program includes 8,904 parcels within the very high fire hazard area that receive annual inspections. Of those, 666 are unimproved, vacant properties. The City has an agreement with the Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner for weed abatement services on those unimproved properties.
On March 18, and following a subsequent public hearing on April 15, the City Council approved the declaration list of the vacant properties that constitute a public hazard, permitting the County Agricultural Commissioner to abate the hazards within the City. The Commissioner recovers the cost of abatement through assessment on the current property tax assessment roll. This report describing the cost of the abatement on all the properties inspected by the Commissioner is submitted to the City for review of the charges and approval before forwarding to the County Auditor.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve the attached Resolution confirming Weed Abatement Charges as described on the attached County of Los Angeles Weed Abatement Charge List dated July 17, 2025.
ANALYSIS
The City has a Weed Abatement Agreement with the County of Los Angeles, which was renewed in 2022 for a five-year period. Under this agreement, the Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner serves as the City’s authorized agent to carry out the removal of noxious and dangerous weed growth. The Fire Department, along with Agricultural Commissioner inspectors, conducts inspections to determine if a hazard exists and requests the Commissioner to carry out abatement.
The Commissioner recovers the cost of abatement through assessment, as permitted under Article II, Chapter 13, Part II, Division 3, Title 4 of California Government Code. As part of our communication program, the Commissioner has been notifying the Fire Marshal of planned and completed work assignments.
For the past several years, the Agricultural Commissioner has been contracting with Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved forJuly 29, 2025 calendar
171 of 324
3 private vendors to minimize the costs of weed abatement. The FY 2024-25 Weed Abatement Charges Report was submitted by the Agricultural Commissioner on July 17, 2025, for the period covering July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The Commissioner has provided a copy of the report, which describes the cost of abatement on all properties to be posted.
The report sets July 29, 2025, as the date it will be submitted to the City Council for confirmation of charges. Once approved, the charges will be forwarded to the County Auditor for entry on the current property tax assessment roll.
The public hearing held on April 15, 2025, approved the County’s Declaration List of properties constituting a public nuisance, which then allowed the Commissioner to abate the identified hazards. Property owners are sent letters (in advance of the actual abatement) when charges are estimated to exceed $750. While this notification letter is not a requirement, it is provided.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The stakeholders include the owners of the 666 properties identified in the approved declaration list. A notice will be mailed to the property owners informing them of the program.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Property owners will pay the charges through their property tax bill directly to the County.

2. Motion to deny the request by the owner(s) of 324 Lawson Place for a Mills Act Historical Property Contract.
3. Resolution to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act Historical Property Contract with the property owner(s) of 1833 Niodrara Drive.
4.Motion to deny the request by the owner(s) of 1833 Niodrara Drive for a Mills Act Historical Property Contract.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for July 29, 2025 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owners of 324 Lawson Place and 1833 Niodrara Drive, two contributing properties in designated historic districts, have submitted applications requesting Mills Act property tax reduction contracts for their respective properties (Exhibits 1 and 2). In 2016, City Council established a policy that contracts potentially be made available to owners of contributing properties in historic districts. Planning staff prepared an initial outline for how applications would be assessed under the program and Council subsequently approved that direction. Staff expanded that outline into a recommended review procedure and the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) conducted three hearings to consider the two applications and the overall process. Based on HPC’s direction, staff further refined the process to establish a focus on four items: which properties are in most need of restoration, structural repair, and/or upgrades to potentially hazardous systems; how much it would cost to address these items; the estimated property tax reduction received by the property owner, and; the overall public benefit the work would produce. At the last of the three HPC meetings (March 21, 2024), the commission reviewed the two applications using the modified process and found both properties worthy of receiving Mills Act contracts.

RECOMMENDATON
At its March 21, 2024 hearing, HPC voted 3-1 to recommend that City Council authorize Mills Act property tax reduction contracts for the owners of 324 Lawson Place and 1833 Niodrara Drive (Doom, Head, Paul in favor; Cragnotti opposed; Jurca recused).
Planning staff recommends that neither property be granted a contract.
ANALYSIS
Introduction
In 2016, City Council established a policy to extend the availability of Mills Act property tax reduction contracts to the owners of contributing properties in the city’s designated historic districts. The Glendale Historical Society brought the concept to Council’s attention. At Council’s direction, Planning staff developed a concept for an objective process to compare and evaluate Mills Act for Contributors applications. A key goal of the proposal was to avoid a “first-come, first-served” approach to granting contracts in favor of a more fair and rigorous process. This process would be different from that used for Glendale Register-listed properties because those have already been vetted for their singular importance to the city’s overall historic character and development.
Historic district contributors are instead important for their collective contribution to the look and feel of a specific neighborhood.1
Planning staff subsequently developed a points-based evaluation system that established a final “score” for each property to help bring a level of objectivity to an otherwise subjective review process by ranking the applications in each review period’s pool. This methodology requires applicants to submit a proposed workplan containing items that would restore and repair missing or deteriorated historic features, provide vital structural repairs, and/or upgrade potentially hazardous systems. Each workplan item is assigned a number of points based on the level of work and whether it is visible to the public. The point total would then be assessed in the context of the total estimated cost of these items and an estimate of tax savings over ten years. A general outline of this concept was reviewed and approved by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) in August 2020 (see Staff Report, Exhibit 4) and City Council, as 1 Though the Glendale Municipal Code provides for incentives for Glendale Register properties (such as Mills Act eligibility and/or other bonuses such as parking or height), these incentives are notwithstanding other federal or state incentives. (Glendale Municipal Code Section 15.20.070(A)). The Mills Act (CA Gov’t Code Section 50280, et seq.) allows a city to enter into a property tax reduction contract with the owner of a “qualified historical property”, which means “privately owned property which is not exempt from property taxation and which [is listed in the National Register or in a state/county or local register] or located in a registered historic district . . .” (see CA Gov’t Code Section 50280.1). Thus, though not specifically codified in the Glendale Municipal Code that contributors in historic districts are eligible for a Mills Act contract grant, the authority to grant such contract to a contributor is specifically set forth in the Mills Act itself.

part of a larger discussion about historic districts, in January 2021. Staff subsequently developed a more detailed methodology for use in reviewing actual applications.
In 2022, applications for Mills contracts were submitted by the owners of two properties:
324 Lawson Place in the Brockmont Park Historic District (Francesca and Lee Smith) and 1833 Niodrara Drive (Edward and Kerry Silver) in the Niodrara Drive Historic District (see Exhibits 1 and 2). Though Council and staff had initially been concerned there would be a high volume of applications and established yearly limits for their consideration, this did not occur. The current applicants remain the only property owners who have pursued a contract since the program began.
The two applications were reviewed over the course of three HPC hearings:
October 20, 2022
Commissioners Cragnotti, Doom, Morgan, and Vartanian participated, and Commissioner Jurca was recused due to her property’s proximity to an applicant’s.
Staff presented the cases in the context of a fully developed methodology based on the previously approved outline (see Staff Report, Exhibit 4). After a staff presentation providing an overview of the review process and hearing the testimony of the applicants, the Commission’s deliberation focused primarily on the methodology. Some commissioners expressed disagreement or uncertainty about the proposed review process and the decision was made to continue the item to a date uncertain to allow for a subsequent hearing focused on the review process rather than the two applications.
February 15, 2024
Commissioners Cragnotti, Doom, Head, Jurca, and Paul participated.
The full commission considered the details of the review process and directed staff to change or modify certain aspects. The discussion touched on many points but largely focused on the scoring system proposed by staff. Acknowledging that objective means to compare applications in any given year are important, a consensus developed to eliminate a “final score” that would be used to rank applications for an HPC recommendation to City Council. Instead, three of the elements originally proposed to determine a score would remain (workplan points, expenses, property tax savings) and a new category, “public benefit,” would be introduced. The commissioners would consider each application under these four categories and weigh their relative importance, ultimately achieving a consensus for both ranking and recommending or not recommending an individual application to Council. For the public benefit consideration, an applicant’s work program would be considered in terms of how its enhancements to a property will be experienced by community members. HPC agreed with staff’s recommendation that this benefit be labelled as high, moderate, or low to 199 of 324

provide a bit more comparative objectivity. HPC also recommended several other changes:
no further building inspection reports would be required after the initial application and termite reports to be submitted on a ten-year cycle; added several categories to the Workplan Points Chart (see Exhibit 6); site visits by HPC be required for each property; and
roof replacements be allowed as an expense but valued at 50% of their cost (staff had recommended that roofs, like painting, not be allowed since their costs that apply to all properties whether in districts or not).
March 21, 2024
Commissioners Cragnotti, Doom, Head, and Paul participated, and Commissioner Jurca was recused due to her property’s proximity to an applicant’s.
The Commission met for a final hearing regarding the two applications, taking testimony from the applicants and then entering into a detailed discussion about the workplans items and associated points (see Staff Report, Exhibit 5, and Workplan Points Chart, Exhibit 6). Ultimately, the Commission recommended that Council authorize Mills Act contracts for both 324 Lawson Place and 1833 Niodrara Drive by a 3-1 vote (Doom, Head, and Paul in favor, Cragnotti opposed, Jurca recused). The following section provides information about the Commission’s analysis of the individual applications.
Analysis of Mills Act Applications
324 Lawson Place
The property is a Ranch-style single-family house that was built in 1955. This Brockmont Park Historic District contributor was identified in the historic district survey as having high historic integrity. The owners propose 10 work items. The chart below summarizes the recommendations made by HPC at its March 21, 2024 hearing and the staff recommendations made in advance of that hearing (see Exhibit 5, pp. 5-7 for more details). The work items reflect the revised work program submitted by the applicants on March 14, 2024 (see Exhibit 2). The expenses and points are broken down by those recommended by HPC and those by staff:

Work Item Staff and Hearing Notes
1. Replace
HVAC / relocate
condenser from
roof to ground
(2019)
HPC: approved, finding the relocation improved the appearance of the property.
Staff: believes that removing the unit from the roof has a negligible impact on historic character. Using taxpayer money to subsidize a new system is seen by staff as a stretch.
2. Foundation
bolting (2021)
HPC: Commissioner Cragnotti shared his sense that it is rare for houses not to be bolted for sales in recent decades and HPC voted to recommend removal of this item from the work point chart.
Staff: accepts applicants’ claim that the house was not previously retrofitted and supports this item because of its potential for reducing significant seismic damage.
3. Replace and
reroute irrigation
system
HPC: cast a 2-2 vote, leaving any final decision to City Council.
Staff: disagrees with the applicant that the brick deterioration (see Item 4) is caused by rising damp and instead believes it to be a direct result of the sprinklers that for many years directed their flow straight against the masonry. Since a new drip system would eliminate the likely source of the problem, staff recommends this expense item be reduced to $1000.
4. Brick repair,
repointing, and
replacement
HPC: supported this item at both the front wainscot and other areas proposed by the applicant.
Staff: observed that the chimney and other brickwork appear to be in very good condition and that the deteriorated brick wainscot should not be included because it appears to result from the owners’ improper care.
5. Wood sash
window repair
HPC: supported this item, finding that restoring window operation is important because a future owner might want to replace the windows rather than fix the problem.
Staff: the windows appear to be in excellent physical condition. Problems with operability are a maintenance, rather than historical, issue. Interior screens are beyond the city’s purview for all designated properties, and this work is not justified for inclusion here.
6. Replace
garage window HPC and staff: support this item because the window is extremely deteriorated.
7. Repair and
replace exterior
stucco, as
needed
HPC and staff: deny this item because only limited areas of stucco at the base of several walls show signs of loss or deterioration.
8. Replace and
install
decorative
shutters
HPC and staff: support this item but staff suggest consideration of 1, rather than 1.5, points because the shutters are not highly visible from the street.

garage door
HPC and staff: support this item because it will enhance the property’s historic character.

1833 Niodrara Drive
The property is a Ranch-style single-family house that was built in 1955. This Niodrara Drive Historic District contributor was identified in the historic district survey as having high historic integrity. The owners propose 8 work items. The chart below summarizes the recommendations made by HPC at its March 21, 2024 hearing and the staff recommendations made in advance of that hearing (see Exhibit 5, pp. 7-8 for more details. The expenses and points are broken down by those recommended by HPC and those by staff:
Work Item Staff and Hearing Notes
1. Replace front
door
HPC and staff: support this item because the new door’s design is appropriate to the style and period of the house.
2. Repair brick
wainscot
HPC and staff: do not support this item because only a very limited amount of pointing loss was observed.
3. Replace window
at southeast front
corner
HPC and staff: support this item because it would bring the front façade closer to its original appearance. HPC noted that many windows at non-visible facades had been replaced and asked the owner to expand this item to include them. Now, a Work Item Applicant

total of 11 non-original windows are proposed to be replaced with new steel sash.
At the hearing, staff provided a very rough estimated expense of $3000 per window, which was too low. Despite multiple requests that the owner provide a more accurate estimate, none has been received.
4. Replace garage
door
HPC and staff: support this item because it will enhance the property’s historic character.
5. Replace sewer
line to main sewer
(2022)
HPC and staff: do not support this item. The sewer line issue was reviewed by GWP and the problem could not be definitively identified as unique to properties on Niodrara Drive because of the underground stream conditions.
6. Add thermal
glazing at front
HPC and staff: do not support this item. When staff inspected the property, the owner indicated that he may want to add thermal glazing at the existing steel window at the front façade. No cost estimate was provided for this work. HPC and staff see this as something that would be assisted by any property tax reduction if a contract is awarded.
7. Termite report
repair
HPC and staff: do not support this item. No cost estimate was provided and the termite report indicates limited areas of damage.
8. Home inspection
report repair
HPC and staff: do not support this item. No cost estimate was provided and the issues identified in the report consist of routine repair and maintenance.
Analysis of the Applications
The best-case scenario for the Mills Act for Contributors program would find applications for properties with noticeably reduced historic integrity that nonetheless were found to be contributors in the historic district survey. For these, the expenditure offset by the tax reduction would lead to the visible transformation and enhancement of their historic character, producing a communitywide benefit.
Both properties under consideration are in good condition and were identified in their respective district surveys as having high historic integrity. As seen from the street, the integrity of 1833 Niodrara is somewhat more compromised than 324 Lawson due to the loss of its original front door, steel sash window, and garage door, all of which are prominent on the street façade. However, some of the proposed work at each property will increase its historic integrity and/or ongoing safety and viability and for this reason, HPC voted to recommend approval of both applications.
To begin assessing the properties under the four categories recommended by HPC, a benchmark for each property’s relative tax savings over a ten-year period based on its current is calculated (LA County Assessor, 2025 Current Roll), as shown in this chart:

324 Lawson $1,118,427 $11,184 $5,592 $55,920 1833 Niodrara $1,121,894 $11,219 $5,610 $56,100 The expense required to complete the qualified work can then be compared to the Mills Act tax savings to assess each owners’ financial commitment in relation to the tax savings they will realize. While the tax benefits theoretically last in perpetuity, for the purposes of this assessment they are viewed as those obtained during the first ten years of the Mills contract. Please note that a 50% tax reduction is at the low end of most contracts for single-family residences, which often have savings in the 60-70% range or even higher. For the expenses, the applicants provided cost estimates for each item, based on either professional or rough estimates. These were reviewed by Planning and Building and Safety staff, with some adjusted upward or downward based on their professional expertise. Per HPC direction provided at the hearing of February 15, 2024, the expenditure-to-savings ratio and final score originally proposed by staff have been removed from the following chart.
The following chart includes the four review categories recommended by HPC along with the respective determinations for each property by the commission and staff:
* includes additional window replacements
When viewed together, it is clear that the properties are fairly evenly matched in terms of workplan expenses, tax savings, and public benefit. HPC’s total point count is lower for 1833 Niodrara Drive, but this appears to result from only three work items being recommended for inclusion for that property whereas six are recommended for 324 Lawson Place. HPC’s favorable assessment of each of the four categories led to its recommendation that City Council authorize Mills Act contracts for both properties.
Planning staff continues to believe that neither property is a good candidate for a Mills contract. This is because they are each currently in very good condition and, while acknowledging the appearance and historic integrity of each would be enhanced by the work to be performed, staff questions whether properties such as these should be seen as worthy enough beneficiaries to justify decades of substantial property tax savings.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
There are no stakeholders other than the property owners.
FISCAL IMPACT
Providing Mills Act contracts to properties in historic districts will have a limited, minimal impact on the City’s property tax revenues.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The project is exempt from CEQA as a Class 8 “Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment” exemption and a Class 31 “Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation” exemption pursuant to Sections 15308 and 15331 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves the protection/preservation of a historic resource.

Subject: Window Restoration & Repair: Draft quote
Hi Francesca,
Thank you for your interest in repairing your wood windows with us. Keep in mind, we only handle the mechanics & wood repair. We do NOT prep, prime, paint, glaze, or handle screens; only the mechanics.
We typically charge $350-$450 for a basic tune up for the double hung windows to work; and we charge about the same for any single outswing casements $350-$450. If it's a double casement then it would be double ($700-$800). We have options of weather-stripping & new locks as well.
14 double hung $350-$450 = $4900 to $6300
4 single casements $350-$450 = $1400 to $1800
Price subject to change upon inspection of the condition of the windows.
Total = $6300 to $8100
Hope that helps,
Norm

Hi Francesca,
Figure approximately $80.00 each to re-screen them with the copper screen.
Pricing may change once we actually see them (how the molding is held in, if the molding breaks and we have to replace it, etc.).

ATTACHMENT 7- Stucco Repair
On August 29, 2022, Thomas Takei from the Thomas Company provided Lee Smith with a verbal estimate of $50. per square yard for stucco repair to match existing texture at 324 Lawson Place on residence, garage and exterior walls.
The total sq. yardage of stucco in need of repair may be about 60 in total, therefore the rough estimate would be approximately $3,000.00 to repair the stucco.

We are available today and tomorrow, but I remember that you are super busy! Unfortunately, the City’s deadline for our Mills Act application is 8/31/2022. Can you please prepare a rough best-case/worst case estimate? Areas in below blue are brick. The water table on the right wraps around side about 2 feet.
Please call when you can!

Hello Francesca,
Thank you for the information and photos. Our estimators are busy with appointments and other estimates they are working on, and so will not be able to provide an estimate by tomorrow.
As I see now, from the photos, we will need to schedule our estimator to meet with you on site for an estimate for this project.

Hi Patricia,
We spoke yesterday about getting a (rough) estimate to repoint the brick and replace a few deteriorated bricks on our chimney and water table.
The house was built in 1955 and is a contributor to a historic district, so the city wants a written estimate, even though the work would be in the future. The house is 1,540 SF, but the brick wraps around the façade only.
To make it simple for you all, I thought you might want to make your estimate by square or linear foot. I attached a few photos of the worst areas so you can get an idea. 249 of 324
Unfortunately we need the estimate by noon tomorrow. You are welcome to prepare one that would have low side estimate and a high estimate.
Please feel free to call me!

Proposed Work: 1. Replace Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning System (HVAC) Work location(s): Rooftop and rear yard. Replaced and relocated new HVAC package unit from existing roof-top location to inside of attic; moved new compressor to rear yard with new pad; replaced and relocated ducts as necessary. Repaired and infilled old package unit’s large roof opening and re-roofed. Non-conforming roof top unit was installed more than 20 years ago, prior to our November 2007 ownership and was completed without building permit. Work performed was removal of a hazardous and non-conforming condition as well as an energy efficient upgrade. Previous package unit may have been visible from street.

2. Foundation Bolting, Pin and Plate Location- Foundation beneath building. Seismic retrofit: repaired perimeter foundation using pin& plate method, added metal corner bracket straps, built new concrete base where necessary and installed anchor bolts. Work is not visible on exterior for conformance with The Secretary of The Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and “Preservation Brief 41: The Seismic Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings,” by Antonio Aguilar for the National Park Service, 2016. Work was the correction of a hazardous and non-conforming condition.

No (which is as 2021 intended, in conformance with ____________________ Standards) 3. Replace and Re-route Irrigation System Location- Front yard of property Problem- Front yard slopes downhill toward brick bulkhead and chimney at building. The lower 4th to 8th brick courses have been “wicking” (absorbing) excess water during rainy seasons, which has weakened both the original brick and its mortar. Destruction caused by excessive moisture is a common problem in brick buildings, particularly those completed more than 50 years ago. Historic buildings usually have exterior walls in different construction methods, e.g. walls with all joints filled, walls without filled vertical joints, and walls with layered arrangements of various materials. Excessive moisture causes brick cavities, reduces the load-bearing capacity of walls, is unsightly, and can lead to the destruction of walls or ultimately the failure of a building. After consulting with an experienced historic preservation general contractor, adding drains in beds abutting the building was considered to correct water collection at base of yard at façade and one bay “in.” The landscaping expert who was consulted, after his investigation determined that adding drains would not correct the problem which may have been occurring since 1955 when the building was completed. Because of the slope of the yard, drains would not have adequate “fall” to collect the excess water. In light of the existing sprinklers’ water distribution, he recommended replacing the front system to use fewer sprinkler heads and replace all irrigation in beds with drip systems. In addition, a continuous rain diverter is proposed to be added along the lowest shingle course over the western shed-roofed bay (not included in Mills Act proposal). The addition of a rain gutter at that location would obscure the character-defining, shaped rafter tails. Attachment 3- Estimate, Santiago Landscape Service Est.

67. Replace Garage Window Location- East side of garage Problem- Original garage, wood sash “Speedline”-type, fixed window has had decades of neglect, including lack of paint. A central muntin is broken and the window sags at the center. Remove and replace window in-kind, including jambs and sill. Install new custom window, replace broken-out stucco (necessary for its removal), prime and paint new stucco and window replacement. The proposed solution conforms with the Standards for Rehabilitation, particularly Standard 6, which directs Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Photo A- View east from inside of garage of four-light, fixed window.

Replacements would be wood and slightly thicker (front-to back) than the originals and would be mounted at windows with a small gap between backs of shutters and stucco walls to avoid future moisture trapping and related decay. Proposed replacements would have the same number of panels, center rails, etc. The shutters would be factory-primed primed and painted which ensures better paint adherence.
The proposed replacement of extremely deteriorated, un-repairable shutters would comply with The Secretary of The Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

10. Replace Roof Location- Residence and detached garage. Tear-off both roofs and base sheets as necessary to replace existing dimensional asphalt roof material. Replace with more compatible, dimensional replacement material such as Cedar Lite 600 or Brava synthetic shake to replicate the appearance of original wood shake roof referenced on original building permit. The replacement would be expected to rectify a previous alteration. The gable-on hip roof configurations of the residence and garage, as well as their plain and scalloped fascia boards are character-defining features of the property. Roof replacement with a more dimensional product would comply with The Secretary of The Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Replacement roofing materials would follow “Preservation Brief 4: Roofing for Historic Buildings” by Sarah M. Sweetser for the National Park Service,1978, particularly the section regarding Alternative Materials. Work would include “cool roof” underlayment material and shingles and would therefore be an energy efficient upgrade.

Hi Francesca,
Thank you for your interest in repairing your wood windows with us. Keep in mind, we only handle the mechanics & wood repair. We do NOT prep, prime, paint, glaze, or handle screens; only the mechanics.
We typically charge $350-$450 for a basic tune up for the double hung windows to work; and we charge about the same for any single outswing casements $350-$450. If it's a double casement then it would be double ($700-$800). We have options of weather-stripping & new locks as well.
14 double hung $350-$450 = $4900 to $6300
4 single casements $350-$450 = $1400 to $1800
Price subject to change upon inspection of the condition of the windows.
Total = $6300 to $8100
Hope that helps,
Norm

Hi Francesca,
Figure approximately $80.00 each to re-screen them with the copper screen.
Pricing may change once we actually see them (how the molding is held in, if the molding breaks and we have to replace it, etc.).
Thank you,
