11. Consider introducing for first reading an ordinance adding new sections 9.20.120 through

9.120.130 to Chapter 9.20 "Parks and Public Places," of Title 9 "Public Peace Morals and Safety," of the Glendora Municipal Code, to regulate homeless encampments on, near, or upon critical infrastructure, sensitive use property, or in areas of high fire risk.

RECOMMENDATION: 1. Waive further reading and introduce an Ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL ADDING NEW SECTIONS 9.20.120 THROUGH 9.20.130 TO CHAPTER 9.20, “PARKS AND PUBLIC PLACES,” OF TITLE 9 “PUBLIC PEACE MORALS AND SAFETY,” OF THE GLENDORA

MUNICIPAL CODE, TO REGULATE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS ON, NEAR,

OR UPON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, SENSITIVE USE PROPERTY, OR IN AREAS OF HIGH FIRE RISK.”
Staff report and PowerPoint was presented by City Attorney Wynder and Assist City Manager Lopez.

City Council discussion included clarification that the proposed Ordinance gives the City authority to secure critical infrastructure; clarification that the proposed Ordinance complies with existing laws and that the City will continue to provide homeless programs and services; clarification that the Ordinance will be enforced by Code Enforcement and initiated by complaints or call; a request to correct the language in the ordinance prohibiting camping near critical infrastructure from 2 feet to 5 feet.

Mayor Davis announced that she would be abstaining from the vote and explained that although she wants to protect infrastructure and quality of life, until the City has homeless housing in place and stays committed to it, she could not fully support the proposed item.

Mayor Pro Tem stated that the State cannot tax its way out of homelessness, and commented on additional taxes being considered in legislation that impacts the cost of housing and drives housing prices up and further reduces housing opportunities.

A motion was made by Michael Allawos and seconded by Mendell Thompson to 1. Waive further reading and introduce an Ordinance 2067 entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL ADDING NEW SECTIONS 9.20.120 THROUGH 9.20.130 TO CHAPTER 9.20, “PARKS AND PUBLIC PLACES,” OF TITLE 9 “PUBLIC PEACE MORALS AND SAFETY,” OF THE

GLENDORA MUNICIPAL CODE, TO REGULATE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS ON,

NEAR, OR UPON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, SENSITIVE USE PROPERTY, OR IN AREAS OF HIGH FIRE RISK” with an amendment to administrative change ordinance language under Subsection H prohibiting camping near critical infrastructure from two (2) feet of fire hydrant to five (5) feet.

An oral roll call vote was conducted, and the motion carried 4 – 0 - 1 as follows: AYES: Michael Allawos, David J. Fredendall, Mendell Thompson, and Gary Boyer; NOES: (None); ABSENT: (None); ABSTAIN: Karen K. Davis.

That the City Council:

1. Adopt a City Council Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDORA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A SIDE LETTER to the 2020-2024 TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE GLENDORA POLICE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In September 2021, the City was notified by the Police Management Association that there was a compaction issue in compensation when a Corporal promoted to a Sergeant position. Based on the terms of the Police Officers Association (POA) and the Glendora Police Management Association (PMA), a Corporal who promotes to a Sergeant does not receive the Advanced POST pay of $550 per month. In order to resolve this compaction issue, the PMA has agreed to a stop gap measure by instituting continuance of the POST pay afforded in the POA MOU.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
On July 14, 2020, The City Council approved a Tentative Agreement with the Glendora Police Management Association that stated:
“Employees who obtain and maintain a POST Supervisory Certificate are eligible to receive POST Certification Pay in the amount of $400 per month in additional compensation to base salary. Employees who obtain and maintain a POST Management Certificate are eligible to receive POST Certification Pay in the amount of $600 per month in additional compensation to base salary. An eligible member shall receive such pay for either the Supervisory or Management Certification, but not both.”

DISCUSSION
After careful review and analysis of the compaction issue, the City and the PMA have reached a tentative agreement pending City Council approval for the following revision to the MOU:

Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Pay
A. Members promoting from Corporal to Sergeant who are not yet eligible to obtain Supervisor POST certification, shall be provided POST Gap Pay as follows:
i. If possess Advance POST at promotion to Sergeant member shall receive $550 per month.

iii. POST Gap Pay shall be paid for the period between promotion from Corporal to Sergeant until the member becomes eligible to receive POST Supervisor Certification (approximately 2 years). POST Gap Pay shall end upon receipt of POST Supervisory Certificate and/or when the member’s service qualifies for POST Supervisory Certificate, whichever comes first.

B. Members who obtain and maintain a POST Supervisory Certificate are eligible to receive POST Certification Pay in the amount of $600 per month in addition to base salary.

C. Members who obtain and maintain a POST Management Certificate are eligible to receive POST Certification Pay in the amount of $700 per month in addition to base salary.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS DATE: APRIL 26, 2022
FROM: CITY CLERK DISTRICT(S): CITYWIDE
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ALLOWING FOR THE CONTINUED USE OF “INPERSON HYBRID APPROACH” FOR CITY OF GLENDORA BROWN ACT PUBLIC

MEETINGS

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Adopt a City Council Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION RE-RATIFYING THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY BY GOVERNOR NEWSOM ON MARCH 4, 2020, AND WHEN

APPLICABLE RE-AUTHORIZING REMOTE TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE CITY OF GLENDORA FOR THE 30-DAY PERIOD BEGINNING MAY 1, 2022 THROUGH MAY 30, 2022 PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT AND ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 11, 2021, the Governor issued Executive Order (“EO”) N-08-21 to begin winding down some of the prior measures that were adopted to respond to COVID-19. Notably, EO N-08-21 rescinds the Brown Act Orders, effective September 30, 2021. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill No. (“AB”) 361 (Rivas, 2021), which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the Brown Act Orders (consisting of Executive Orders N-25-20, N-29-20, N-35- 20).

The pending expiration of the Brown Act Orders and the enactment of AB 361 created some ambiguity. To provide clarification, the Governor issued Executive Order N-15-21 (Attachment A), explaining that cities may continue to hold meetings in accordance with the Brown Act Orders until September 30, 2022 or they may hold meetings in accordance with the requirements of AB 361.

Starting at the September 28, 2021 City Council meeting, and at a monthly meeting thereafter, the Glendora City Council has considered and adopted Resolutions ratifying the State of Emergency by Governor Newsom and reauthorize remote teleconference meetings of the legislative bodies of the City of Glendora for an additional 30-day period in accordance with the requirements of AB 361.

At the March 22, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution that returned the City to “In-Person” Brown Act meetings and allowed the City the flexibility to continue to conduct public meetings of the City via teleconferencing, in person and/or hybrid meetings pursuant to AB 361 if needed. The existing resolution is set to expire on April 30, 2022. The resolution being proposed, if adopted allows the City to continue the “in-person hybrid approach” and maintain the flexibility to conduct teleconferenced, in person or hybrid meetings if the Governors’ declaration of emergency is still in effect and/or COVID protocols become more restrictive for an additional 30-day. If approved, the proposed resolution would expire on May 30, 2022.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
During early March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Orders N-25-20, N-29-20, N-35-20 (collectively, the Brown Act Orders), which, among other things, suspended the provisions of the Brown Act expressly or impliedly requiring the physical presence of Council Members, staff, or the public at local agency meetings (Numbered 1 through 6, above) and specifically allowed for Legislative Bodies (City Council, Commissions, Committees, etc.) to hold meetings entirely virtually with no physical meeting place. These changes made it feasible and safer for Brown Act bodies to meet remotely, with meeting participants joining virtual platforms such as Zoom or WebEx, for the continued conduct of the government’s business during the pandemic in order to comply with public health orders.

In the interest of health and safety, on March 24, 2020, the City Council ratified and continued an Emergency Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Issued by the Director of Emergency Services/City Manager (which remains in effect today) and began conducting public meetings virtually with no central physical location where members of the body, staff and the public can gather; this has been the sole means for conducting meetings of all public bodies subject to the Brown Act. To ensure public access, the meetings are being broadcasted live on Spectrum Cable TV Channel 3 and Verizon Channel 31, the City Website www.cityofglendora.org/citymeetings, YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/cityofglendoraca, and on the Media Center at https://www.cityofglendora.org/departments-services/television-and-media. The various ways for members of the public to participate are outlined on the first page of every agenda (in person, virtually, email, phone call, mail and etc).

On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21 which states that the provisions in Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain elements of the Brown Act will continue to apply through September 30, 2021 which means that the City would no longer be able to hold entirely virtual meetings starting October 1, 2021.

On September 16, 2021 Governor Newsom signed AB 361, which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the Brown Act Orders. This pending expiration of the Brown Act Orders and the enactment of AB 361 created ambiguity as to whether cities are required to comply with the requirements of the Brown Act Orders or the requirements of AB 361. To provide clarification, the Governor issued Executive Order N-15-21 (Attachment A) on September 20, 2021, explaining that cities may continue to hold meetings in accordance with the Brown Act Orders until September 30, 2022 or they may hold meetings in accordance with the requirements of AB 361 (Attachment B).

Pursuant to AB 361, starting at the September 28, 2021 City Council meeting, and again at its October 26, 2021, November 9, 2021, January 25, 2022, February 28, 2022, and March 22, 2022 City Council meetings the City Council has considered and unanimously adopted resolutions ratifying the State of Emergency by Governor Newsom and reauthorize remote teleconference meetings of the legislative bodies for a 30-day period or until such time as the City Council adopts a subsequent resolution in accordance with Government Code § 54953(e)(3) to extend the time during which the legislative bodies of the City may continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 54953.

On November 10, 2021 Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-21-21 which extended the State of Emergency in California due to the COVID-19 pandemic and as of the writing of this report is in effect.

On Thursday, March 03, 2022 Los Angeles County released a new health order that revised mask and vaccination verification requirements. As of March 4, 2022, mask and vaccination verifications are no longer required for indoor public settings and businesses, they are now strongly recommended, for all persons, regardless of vaccine status.

Item #10. Page 2
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 23
Staff Report Page 3 of 4
At the March 22, 2022 meeting of the City Council, adopted a resolution that returned the City to “InPerson” Brown Act meetings and allowed the City the flexibility to continue to conduct public meetings of the City via teleconferencing, in person and/or hybrid meetings pursuant to AB 361 if needed. This “inperson hybrid approach” was utilized during all City public meetings in the month of April and is set to expire on April 30, 2022.

DISCUSSION
In order to have the flexibility to continue to conduct virtual meetings and utilize the City’s “in person hybrid approach”, the City Council is required to make specific findings in support of continuing remote meetings every 30-days by adopting a Resolution, the legislative body must make findings by majority vote on the circumstances of the applicable state of emergency and find either:

1. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of its members to safely meet in person; or

2. That state or local officials continue to impose or recommend COVID-19 infection protocols that impact the quality of Brown Act meetings.

If adopted, the proposed resolution will allow the City the flexibility to continue to conduct public meetings of the City via teleconferencing, in person and/or hybrid meetings pursuant to AB 361 through May 31, 2022, or as long as the Governors Declaration of Emergency is in effect.

City staff recommends City Council approved proposed resolution as it provides city staff with some flexibility and the City continues to navigate COVID recommendations and/or regulations from federal, state and county agencies. If the City Council, pending discussion, decides to not allow hybrid meetings by adopting the proposed resolution, all City Council members, board members, and commissioners will not be allowed to participate remotely, should the need arise.

Safety Measures at Public Meetings
All Brown Act meetings are subject to COVID-19 infection protocols set forth by the Federal Government, State of California, County of Los Angeles, and any local rules put in place. Essentially, the Federal Government and State of California set the ceiling for allowance activities, the County sets the floor, and the City can set the basement. To date, the City of Glendora has not implemented any further COVID-19 restrictions and/or infection protocols above and beyond those implemented in the County of Los Angeles.

AB 361 expires in January 2024, so long as the Governor has declared a state of emergency the City can continue to adopt a resolution pursuant to AB 361 which allows for the continuation of the virtual meetings if needed. As of April 15, 2022, the Governor’s Executive Order declaring a state of emergency is still in effect. AB 361 and Executive Order N-1-22 are attached for the Council's ease of reference (Attachments A - B).

Due to the fluidity in which COVID-19 infection protocols have been set and changed by Federal Government, State of California, County of Los Angeles agencies, staff is requesting to continue the “inperson hybrid approach” for another 30 day relating to City of Glendora public meetings.

The proposed resolution provides for the ability to continue to conduct in-person hybrid meetings pursuant to AB 361 through May 30, 2022, or as long as the Governors Declaration of Emergency is in effect.

While all meetings would be considered in-person public “Brown Act” meetings starting April 1, 2022 for the City Council, Board(s) and Commission(s) – for the period of time that the City is allowed to hold remote meetings under the cavalcade of public health orders, an elected or appointed official will have the ability to attend virtually, if needed.

In-Person Hybrid approach allows:
 Public attendance via Zoom or in-person.

Item #10. Page 3
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 24
Staff Report Page 4 of 4
 City Council and board/commission members will attend in-person (preference) or in Zoom (if needed).
 City staff making presentations will also be encouraged, when possible, to attend and present inperson.  City staff not presenting may continue to attend in person or via Zoom.  The Chamber will have medical grade masks, along with a supply of hand sanitizer, and wipes if needed and/or requested.
 Open doors and windows will provide ventilation, as the weather allows.  Capacity in Chamber, limited to approximately 40, will be established for the public and attendance will be on a first come, first served basis.

City staff will ensure all existing COVID protocols are being followed and continue to review changes that could occur with respect to health officer orders issued by the State of California and County of Los Angeles. While the City Council, board members and commissions may ultimately loose the ability to attend virtually, staff anticipates that public comments via Zoom will likely remain as an option to expand access to the City’s public meeting

CHAPTER 165
An act to add and repeal Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, and to amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of, and to add and repeal Section 11133 of, the Government Code, relating to open meetings, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
[Approved by Governor September 16, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 16, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 361, Robert Rivas. Open meetings: state and local agencies:
teleconferences.
(1)  Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate. The act contains specified provisions regarding the timelines for posting an agenda and providing for the ability of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public.

The act generally requires all regular and special meetings of the legislative body be held within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, subject to certain exceptions. The act allows for meetings to occur via teleconferencing subject to certain requirements, particularly that the legislative body notice each teleconference location of each member that will be participating in the public meeting, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, that members of the public be allowed to address the legislative body at each teleconference location, that the legislative body post an agenda at each teleconference location, and that at least a quorum of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the local agency’s jurisdiction. The act provides an exemption to the jurisdictional requirement for health authorities, as defined. The act authorizes the district attorney or any interested person, subject to certain provisions, to commence an action by mandamus or injunction for the purpose of obtaining a judicial determination that specified actions taken by a legislative body are null and void.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor, or the Director of Emergency Services when the governor is inaccessible, to proclaim a state of emergency under specified circumstances.

Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the Ralph M. Brown Act’s requirements for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the legislative body at the meeting, and that a legislative body of a local agency has a procedure for receiving and swiftly

92 Item #10. Page 7
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 28
resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 1, 2024, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act when a legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emergency held for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, and during a proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, as provided.

This bill would require legislative bodies that hold teleconferenced meetings under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures to give notice of the meeting and post agendas, as described, to allow members of the public to access the meeting and address the legislative body, to give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option, and to conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body. The bill would require the legislative body to take no further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments, until public access is restored. The bill would specify that actions taken during the disruption are subject to challenge proceedings, as specified.

This bill would prohibit the legislative body from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specify that the legislative body must provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and offer comment in real time. The bill would prohibit the legislative body from closing the public comment period and the opportunity to register to provide public comment, until the public comment period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, as specified. When there is a continuing state of emergency, or when state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, the bill would require a legislative body to make specified findings not later than 30 days after the first teleconferenced meeting pursuant to these provisions, and to make those findings every 30 days thereafter, in order to continue to meet under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures.

Existing law prohibits a legislative body from requiring, as a condition to attend a meeting, a person to register the person’s name, or to provide other information, or to fulfill any condition precedent to the person’s attendance.

This bill would exclude from that prohibition, a registration requirement imposed by a third-party internet website or other online platform not under the control of the legislative body.
(2)  Existing law, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend any meeting of a state body. The act requires at least one member of the state body to be physically present at the location specified in the notice of the meeting.

The Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the state body at the meeting, and that a state body has a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a state body to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the state body. With respect to a state body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the state body at each teleconference location. Under the bill, a state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the state body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge state bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(3)  Existing law establishes the various campuses of the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and authorizes the establishment of student body organizations in connection with the operations of California State University campuses.

The Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act of 2000 generally requires a legislative body, as defined, of a student body organization to conduct its business in a meeting that is open and public. The act authorizes the legislative body to use teleconferencing, as defined, for the benefit of the public and the legislative body in connection with any meeting or proceeding authorized by law.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a legislative body, as defined for purposes of the act, to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and 92 — 3 — Ch. 165
Item #10. Page 9
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 30
to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the legislative body. With respect to a legislative body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference location.

Under the bill, a legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the legislative body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge legislative bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(4)  This bill would declare the Legislature’s intent, consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20, to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options.
(5)  This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by AB 339 to be operative only if this bill and AB 339 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
(6)  The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (7)  Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (8)  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SEC. 6. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20 dated March 17, 2020, permitting expanded use of teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEC. 7. The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in teleconference meetings during applicable emergencies.

SEC. 8. (a)  The Legislature finds and declares that during the COVID-19 public health emergency, certain requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) were suspended by Executive Order N-29-20. Audio and video teleconference were widely used to conduct public meetings in lieu of physical location meetings, and public meetings conducted by teleconference during the COVID-19 public health emergency have been productive, have increased public participation by all members of the public regardless of their location in the state and ability to travel to physical meeting locations, have protected the health and safety of civil servants and the public, and have reduced travel costs incurred by members of state bodies and reduced work hours spent traveling to and from meetings.
92 Ch. 165 — 18 —
Item #10. Page 24
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 45
(b)  The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds and repeals Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, Section 2 of this act, which adds and repeals Section 11133 of the Government Code, and Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, all increase and potentially limit the public’s right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest:
(1)  By removing the requirement that public meetings be conducted at a primary physical location with a quorum of members present, this act protects the health and safety of civil servants and the public and does not preference the experience of members of the public who might be able to attend a meeting in a physical location over members of the public who cannot travel or attend that meeting in a physical location. (2)  By removing the requirement for agendas to be placed at the location of each public official participating in a public meeting remotely, including from the member’s private home or hotel room, this act protects the personal, private information of public officials and their families while preserving the public’s right to access information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

SEC. 9. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into immediate effect.

The facts constituting the necessity are:

In order to ensure that state and local agencies can continue holding public meetings while providing essential services like water, power, and fire protection to their constituents during public health, wildfire, or other states of emergencies, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Approve the Transfer Agreement with The Los Angeles County Flood Control District in order to receive $2,581,286 of Measure W Regional Grant Funding over 2 years;

2. Award a Contract Services Agreement to Craftwater Engineering, Inc. for design of the Finkbiner Park Stormwater Capture Project in the Amount of $1,107,296 and a 10% contingency in the amount of $110,730 for a total not to exceed amount of $1,218,026;

4. Authorize Administrative Services Director to adjust revenues and expenditures as needed to provide supplemental appropriation; and

5. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement including minimal and/or non-substantive changes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The goals of the Los Angeles Region Safe, Clean Water (SCW) Program include improving and protecting water quality, capturing rain and stormwater to increase safe drinking water and prepare for future droughts; and protect public health and wildlife by reducing pollution from entering local waterways.

Projects and programs are funded by a special parcel tax that was implemented after the passage of Measure W in 2018. Starting in 2019, Los Angeles County cities were able to apply for regional SCW grant funding in an effort to design or construct stormwater projects and studies in their jurisdictions.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Los Angeles County residents voted to pass Measure W in November 2018. In January 2020, the City Manager approved a Contract Services Agreement with Craftwater Engineering, Inc. (Craftwater) to assist with the SCW grant application for the Finkbiner Park Stormwater Capture Project (Finkbiner Park Project) Design. The Agreement was amended in January 2021 to extend the term of the contract to include additional meetings and presentations that Craftwater assisted with.

DISCUSSION
In 2016, members of the Upper San Gabriel Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) group were required to identify locations within their jurisdictions that would serve as potential stormwater project sites.

Finkbiner Park was identified as the potential project site for Glendora. A 30% design plan/feasibility study was Item #12. Page 1
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 69
Staff Report Page 2 of 3
performed on all the suggested sites to determine if the water quality targets would grant the participating cities compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. The studies confirmed that the suggested sites would be optimal for meeting regional compliance targets. Since evaluations such as water flow studies, monitoring plans and project schedules were developed during the 30% design plan and feasibility studies, participating cities were able to facilitate future funding opportunities more easily.

The Finkbiner Park Project design consists of a 19 acre-foot underground stormwater infiltration vault housed under the baseball fields. This vault is designed to capture and treat stormwater for potential pollutants. In turn, the project includes creating new baseball fields with turf grass and infield soils. New field lights will also be added to promote extended park use. Additionally, a green alley will be constructed north of the baseball fields.

The green alley consists of a walkway with permeable pavement and bioswales and includes installation of native trees, shrubs, and grasses. Additional design tasks are further described in Attachment C.

The SCW Regional Grant Program allows Cities in Los Angeles County to apply for funding for stormwater infrastructure projects, technical resources, or scientific studies. In October 2020, the City applied for SCW Regional Grant funding for the Finkbiner Park Stormwater Capture Project Design as part of the FY 21-22 funding cycle. Within the City’s watershed, a total of six infrastructure projects, one technical resources and one scientific study application submitted for the FY 21-22 funding cycle. After a thorough review process, the Finkbiner Park Project was selected by the Watershed Area Steering Committee to be included in the SCW Program’s Stormwater Investment Plan. The City was allocated $2,581,286 over two years to fund the design for the Finkbiner Park Project Design.

FISCAL IMPACT
With the approval of the Transfer Agreement with Los Angeles County, Measure W grant funds would sufficiently pay the cost of the design contract. The remaining $1.3 million in grant funding will be used on Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) permit application fees and reviews, staff project management time, or additional design efforts. In order to receive the grant funding, the City must approve the Transfer Agreement with LACFCD.

While the design portion of the project is fully funded by the SCW grant, City Staff anticipates competing for additional funding sources for the construction portion. The estimated cost of construction including construction management and surveying is $21,834,722. After the design phase, the remainder of the $1.3 million in additional SCW grant funding can be used towards construction costs. Construction is estimated to start in 2024 (pending funding) with a duration of approximately 18 months.

Grant funding will be disbursed within 45-days of the execution of the agreement.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This activity is not a “project” as defined by Section 21065 of the Public Resources Code or Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

UPPER SAN GABRIEL RIVER ENHANCED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

FINKBINER PARK STORMWATER CAPTURE PROJECT
Project Description
Finkbiner Park is an 11.46-acre, multipurpose recreational facility, located in the City of Glendora. It sits at the bottom of a 1,638-acre watershed that drains through the upstream storm drain system into Little Dalton Wash, which runs along the southern edge of the park. Finkbiner Park is improved with grass and infield soil areas of 4 baseball fields, as well as a concrete basketball court area, skate park, tennis courts, outdoor bandshell, kid’s playgrounds, beach volleyball court, community center buildings, and a large grassy area with picnic benches. The site amenities closest to the proposed construction area are the baseball fields, basketball court, and adjacent concrete sidewalk.

The project includes a channel diversion from Little Dalton Wash and a diversion from MTD 1129. The diversions go to a pretreatment unit and then to the subsurface storage where it is then infiltrated into the subgrade. The site has the potential to provide significant water quality benefits for the City of Glendora due to the sizable drainage area, location of the adjacent storm drains, and available development space. This project has the potential to offer runoff storage and water quality benefits for this drainage area that can address the additional needs for stormwater management identified to achieve compliance in the EWMP The proposed project will be designed with the following components.

1. Diversion Structures. Two new diversion structures are proposed to divert stormwater during low-flow and storm events to the pretreatment device and eventually the subsurface storage. The proposed channel diversion from Little Dalton Wash will have a flow rate of approximately 65 cfs and a storm drain diversion will have a flow rate of 10 cfs..

2. Pre-Treatment, Treatment and Discharge. The system will include a pretreatment unit to treat the dryweather and maximum 75 cfs stormwater flows conveyed from the channel and the storm drain.

3. Subsurface Storage Structure. The proposed subsurface storage structure is currently proposed with a 19 ac-ft operational volume. The storage structure is proposed to be constructed of a precast concrete storage system made from durable, reinforced high-strength concrete.

EXHIBIT E – NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) BEST MANAGEMENT

PRACTICES
Nature-based solutions (NBS) refers to the sustainable management and use of nature for undertaking socio-environmental challenges, including climate change, water security, water pollution, food security, human health, and disaster risk management. As this environmental management practice is increasingly incorporated into projects for the SCW Program, this guidance document may be expanded upon to further quantify NBS practices based on benefits derived from their incorporation on projects.

The SCW Program defines NBS as a Project that utilizes natural processes that slow, detain, infiltrate or filter Stormwater or Urban Runoff. These methods may include relying predominantly on soils and vegetation; increasing the permeability of Impermeable Areas; protecting undeveloped mountains and floodplains; creating and restoring riparian habitat and wetlands; creating rain gardens, bioswales, and parkway basins; enhancing soil through composting, mulching; and, planting trees and vegetation, with preference for native species. NBS may also be designed to provide additional benefits such as sequestering carbon, supporting biodiversity, providing shade, creating and enhancing parks and open space, and improving quality of life for surrounding communities. NBS include Projects that mimic natural processes, such as green streets, spreading grounds and planted areas with water storage capacity. NBS may improve water quality, collect water for reuse or aquifer recharge, or to support vegetation growth utilizing natural processes.

Recipients are to consider using Nature-Based Solutions for infrastructure projects and include in each Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report and annual summary whether and how their project achieves a good, better, or best for each of the 6 NBS methods in accordance with the guidance below. Additionally, Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports should include discussion on any considerations taken to maximize the class within each method. If at least 3 methods score within a single class, the overall project can be characterized as that class. Recipients must attach a copy of the matrix for each Project with the good, better, or best column indicated for each method, to facilitate District tracking of methods being utilized. Please refer to the table below.

For the most up to date guidance related to Nature Based Solutions, please refer to the Safe, Clean Water Program website (https://safecleanwaterla.org/) Item #12. Page 37

The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (m) Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant.

(n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not Item #12. Page 58
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 126
01240.0001/535308.1 A-16
reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

EXHIBIT “A”

SCOPE OF SERVICES
I. Consultant will perform the following Services:

A. Task 1: Project Management, Coordination, and Meetings i. Task 1.1: Project Schedule

1. Consultant shall develop a detailed Critical Path Method (“CPM”) schedule for managing this project. The schedule will be prepared in Microsoft Project and will detail the degree of activity for the major tasks of the project. The schedule includes task
predecessors, start/finish dates, and task dependency to ensure that work products are completed on a timely basis. The preliminary schedule also reflects the schedule of deliverables.

2. The schedule will serve as a planning tool for the project team and will be evaluated and updated, if necessary, and as approved by the City’s Contract Manager.
ii. Task 1.2: Project Coordination

1. Consultant shall engage in regular project correspondence, including coordinating calls, that will allow the City Project Manager to measure the actual plan work progress. Explanations of the work completed and work to be done will be communicated during the project coordination calls.
iii. Task 1.3: Project Meetings

1. Kick-Off Meeting. The project will be initiated with a Project Kick-Off Meeting held virtually. The Kick-off Meeting will discuss the project scope, the final details of the schedule, and review the data needs. Also, this meeting will be an opportunity for Consultant shall obtain feedback from the City regarding the critical success factors for the project. Consultant shall be ready to initiate the kick-off meeting following the receipt of a Notice to Proceed from the City. Consultant shall prepare an agenda, presentation, and meeting summary notes for the kick-off meeting.

2. Project Team Coordination Meetings. Project Progress Meetings will be conducted monthly with City’s Contract Officer to review project status and ensure that the contract objectives and milestones are being achieved. The date and times of the Item #12. Page 66
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 134
01240.0001/535308.1 A-24
coordination meetings will be arranged during the Kick-Off Meeting. To supplement these meetings, the Consultant’s Project Manager will also maintain ongoing communication with City’s Contract Office. A detailed agenda, presentation including schedule, action item list, and meeting summary notes will be developed for each meeting. Twenty-four (24) monthly meetings are included in the project budget.
iv. Task 1.4: Project Administration

1. Consultant shall provide City’s Contract Officer with a written monthly progress report throughout the project duration. The progress reports will contain a summary of the expenditures to the total contract, tracking of work performed and deliverables submitted. It will also discuss upcoming efforts. A monthly invoice for work performed will be included as part of the monthly progress report.

B. Task 2: Site Investigation and Utility Research
i. Task 2.1: Field Investigation

1. The evaluation will include one day of field reconnaissance work with the City representatives. The field reconnaissance will be an opportunity for Consultant to identify diversion options, pump station locations, conveyance, and storage, infiltration, or filtration alternatives. Site restoration and improvements to the ballfields will also be discussed. In addition, City’s Contract Officer will have an opportunity to provide input regarding opportunities and constraints as part of the project development process. ii. Task 2.2: Records Research

1. A desktop evaluation will also be conducted to research readily available as-builts, utility information, groundwater depths, and geotechnical reports. Our team will request any available reports, tests, or information previously gathered by the City or the watershed group. Consultant shall obtain the as-builts for the LACFCD existing infrastructure and will request for the Park asbuilts from the City. iii. Task 2.3: Utility Research

1. Consultant acknowledges that limited existing utility research was completed as part of the 30% design preparation. This task will confirm that research as well as identify any missing utilities that are within the project area. Utilizing USA Dig Alert’s website, a comprehensive utility matrix will be developed, which Consultant Item #12. Page 67
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 135
01240.0001/535308.1 A-25
shall use to request utility atlas/as-built information. The letters to the utility purveyors will be drafted and provided to the City who will submit the letters to the respective providers to ensure fees are not incurred. An alternative is for the City to provide their letterhead to Consultant to include on the letters and email them directly to the utility purveyors. The atlas information will be used to inform the design layout to minimize conflicts and will be combined with the topographic survey (discussed separately below) and incorporated into the final design plans.

2. Once the site investigations and project information review component are complete, Consultant shall perform a site visit to verify the accuracy of data obtained and the locations of the utilities based on the utility atlases received. Consultant shall also verify the appropriate right-of-way and incorporate the utility investigation into the topographic base maps.
iv. Task 2.4: Potholing

1. Potholing (also known as vacuum excavation) is used for the purpose of identifying the axis of an underground utility. When the utility is revealed, the type of material, utility size, and depth from the surface are documented. The data collected during these excavations are beneficial in all phases of construction. Based upon the soil’s conditions or scope, we will choose to use air or water to create the pothole. After documenting our findings, each pothole will be backfilled, compacted, and a perm-a-patch or hot patch will be provided depending upon client specifications. A potholing report complete with photographs are provided at the conclusion of the job documenting the location, utility found, depth to top of pipe, utility size, material and the soil conditions. If no utility is found within the predetermined depth of the pothole, it will be considered a dry hole. Additional holes may be necessary to provide a positive location of the utility. For the purposes of scoping this effort, ten (10) potholes are assumed to be required through the course of the project with five (5) taken to the bottom of pipe or encasement. Additional potholes can be performed on an as-needed basis at the unit rate specified in the fee schedule. v. Task 2.5: Topographic Survey and Utility Mapping

1. Consultant shall conduct supplementary topographic survey as needed to finalize critical design elements and represent areas that may have changed since the original survey was completed.

Consultant shall be allocated a budget of $11,000 for additional survey for this project. The topographic survey will be used as a base map for the development of the design documents for the site.

Item #12. Page 68
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 136
01240.0001/535308.1 A-26

2. The invert of the drainage culvert will be determined by topographic survey and as-built information because the invert elevation at the point of diversion will be of critical importance.

Utility as-builts will be incorporated horizontally and vertically into the existing site plan.

C. Task 3: Geotechnical Investigation
i. The Geotechnical engineering investigation will evaluate the geotechnical conditions of the site and provide recommendations for the proposed industrial development. The investigation will include site reconnaissance, additional subsurface geotechnical exploration and sampling, laboratory testing, engineering analysis and preparation of a geotechnical engineering report. The scope of services does not include fees for any subsequent construction inspections, testing, county or city plan reviews or additional reports. This task will include:

1. Review of readily available background materials, including published geologic and seismic hazards maps, stereoscopic aerial photographs, groundwater data available on the Geotracker website, historic topographic maps, the referenced reports, and other reports/plans provided by the client.

2. Acquisition of a Los Angeles County Department of
Environmental Health (LACDEH) permit since proposed borings will be deeper than ten feet below the ground surface.

3. Site reconnaissance to observe and document the site geologic conditions and to mark the proposed boring locations with wood stakes and white paint for clearance by Underground Service Alert (USA).

4. Coordination with USA for underground utility location prior to drilling.

5. Subsurface exploration consisting of the drilling, sampling, and logging of six hollow-stem-auger borings using a truck-mounted drill rig. The borings will be drilled to the proposed depths provided below, or refusal, whichever is shallower. The purpose of the borings is to evaluate the subsurface soil and geologic conditions at the site, including percolation rates of the on-site soils. The borings will be logged by a representative from our firm.

Relatively undisturbed and bulk soil samples will be obtained from the borings at selected intervals and the samples will be transported to our laboratory for testing. Borings deeper than ten feet will be backfilled with cement-bentonite grout per the requirements of Item #12. Page 69
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 137
01240.0001/535308.1 A-27
LACDEH. The number and depths of borings and percolation tests are as follows:
a. Three borings up to approximately 20 feet deep within the footprint of the underground infiltration facility.

Percolation testing will be performed in these borings to evaluate the infiltration rate of the soils at the invert depth of the facility.
b. Three borings up to approximately 40 feet in depth to evaluate the subsurface conditions beneath the facility and to provide design recommendations for the proposed
pipelines and in-line structures (i.e., pre-treatment unit, actuated valve, etc.).

6. Field percolation testing will be performed within the three borings at the approximate invert depth of the facility (20 feet). To facilitate the percolation testing, a temporary well will be installed in each of the test borings consisting of 4-inch-diameter perforated polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) pipe surrounded be pea gravel. The testing will be performed using the “falling-head” method in general accordance with the Los Angeles County guidelines (2021), which includes placing water in each test well and measuring the rate in which the water level drops at intervals of approximately 10 to 30 minutes (depending on the soil conditions and rate of infiltration).

7. Soil cuttings from the drilling will be placed in 55-gallon drums and temporarily stored at a secure location at the park.

Representative samples of the drummed soils will be collected and sent to a laboratory for analytical testing to characterize the soil for disposal purposes. Following characterization, the drummed soils will be transported to an off-site disposal facility by a licensed waste-hauler. For planning purposes, we have assumed that ten drums of soil will be generated from the drilling.

8. Geotechnical laboratory testing of representative soil samples from the exploratory borings. Laboratory testing is anticipated to include in-situ moisture and dry density, gradation, Atterberg limits, hydro-collapse potential, consolidation, direct shear strength, and soil corrosivity.

9. Data compilation and geotechnical analysis of data collected from our background review, subsurface exploration and percolation testing, and laboratory testing. Consultant’s analyses and recommendations shall include the following:

D. Task 4: Stormwater Capture Hydrology and Hydraulics/Water Quality Analysis Updates
i. Task 4.1: Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analyses

1. The drainage area, diversion, sizing, and filtration rate of the SCWP feasibility study serve as the basis of design for this effort.

In the course of the site investigation, utility search, and geotechnical study, changes to the configuration may be warranted and a proper evaluation of the design change impacts is necessary.

2. Consultant shall generate the long-term simulation statistics from the latest edition of the Watershed Management Modeling System (WMMS 2.0) to determine the average annual runoff, peak flows, and average annual pollutant removal. A summary of the land use and precipitation from the WMMS 2.0 model will be included and compared to the existing WMMS hydrologic statistics that was completed for the SCWP Feasibility Study. Consultant shall use the WMMS 2.0 model to re-assess the system performance and ensure that the SCWP scoring remains unchanged.

3. The hydraulic modeling analysis will evaluate the wet weather flows of the existing storm drain system from which the project will divert flows. The models will be set up in accordance with the LACDPW standards and will evaluate the hydraulic impacts of the diversion to the existing system. Consultant shall request the design flow rate from LACFCD which will serve as the required conveyance rate. Consultant shall create the existing WSPG model and update with design changes to the proposed diversion structure and evaluate the impacts to the water surface.
ii. Task 4.2: Water Quality Analysis and Optimization

1. Consultant shall prepare an analysis based on the Hydrologic Study to quantify the existing and potential water quality of the project incorporating and evaluating alternative treatment design layouts. We will utilize the latest edition of WMMS2 and the EPA SUSTAIN model to determine the anticipated average annual pollutant loading and associated reductions for the pollutants of concern in addition to flow volumes and sediment loading.

Consultant shall ensure the performance meets or exceeds the reductions identified within the SCWP application while possibly reducing costs through higher efficiency treatment methodologies.

The water quality modeling will evaluate the benefit of outflow options of infiltration and filtration to evaluate possible alternatives that can increase project performance while minimizing overall costs.

8. It is assumed that a 60% Design Workshop will be convened, at a location to be named by the City, approximately two (2) weeks following receipt of the 60% Design Submittal. A review comment matrix will be prepared to capture review comments and responses of all comments. The responses will be meaningful and descriptive enough to allow for the City Project Manager to fully understand the nature of the comment and how the comment was addressed.

Plan revisions will be completed as part of the 90% deliverable.

9. It is during the beginning of the 60% design stage that any coordination with affected agencies and utility companies will be identified and started. Early coordination is key in case utility relocations or permits are required. Craftwater will conduct meetings and present the project including concepts, plans, schedules, and discuss impacts with the affected party. Meeting minutes will be prepared and distributed to those in attendance. We will add details and specifications to the design documents as required to minimize impacts and satisfy the affected stakeholder. ii. Task 5.2: 60% Constructability Review

1. A constructability review will be performed by a third party, Willdan Engineering, that will not directly oversee the design of the project. Willdan will perform an independent review of the construction documents. The review will focus on constructability, inter-disciplinary coordination, completeness, and general code compliance. At the 60% Review stage, it is not anticipated that the design elements will be fully detailed on the construction documents; therefore, approach to this review will be to primarily focus on big picture elements, such as the general design approach; identifying potential utility conflicts; correcting items that have been completed; identifying obscure, easy to miss details, such that they can be captured in the 90% submittal; and making
recommendations regarding value engineering, construction phasing, and contracting mechanism before the design gets too far along and renders these types of changes cost- or scheduleprohibitive.

2. The 60% Review will include an initial site visit to get familiar with the proposed project site, identify any current field conditions not reflected on the Plans, and identify any site access constraints.

The Constructability Reviewer will take time to review the plan set in totality to visualize how the whole puzzle fits together. They will conduct a cursory review of the sheet index and each of the plan sheets. That will allow him to visualize the construction process in a step-by-step manner, as if building the project conceptually in his mind, and logically discover whether there are Item #12. Page 75
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 143
01240.0001/535308.1 A-33
any incorrect or missing elements or documents. The 60% Review will also entail looking at the footprints of various construction elements and keying in on their perimeters where interfaces with other trades, components, utilities, and systems occur. iii. Task 5.3: 90% Plans, Specifications, and Estimate

1. The 90% submittal will consist of plan sheets that show changes to the 60% Design and incorporate comments received and expand to include additional details and sections of the various BMP components. Consultant shall include the City of Glendora General notes for Grading, Drainage, Erosion and Sediment Control, and Storm Water Runoff Management (as applicable) on the plans.

2. Comments received from the 60% Constructability Review will be incorporated into the design. All elements will be shown and coordinated within disciplines. All specification sections will be drafted in accordance with the City’s requirements and checked by the discipline lead checker. Prior to submission, an internal QA/QC review will be conducted.

3. Digital electronic PDF files of 90% plans, specifications, and cost estimate will be submitted to the City’s Contract Officer, eight (8) weeks following receipt of comments from the City.

4. It is assumed that a 90% Design Workshop will be convened, at a location to be named by the City, approximately two (2) weeks following receipt of the 90% Design Submittal. A review comment matrix will be prepared to capture review comments and responses of all comments. The responses will be meaningful and descriptive enough to allow for the City’s Contract Officer to fully understand the nature of the comment and how the comment was addressed.

Plan revisions will be completed as part of the 100% deliverable.

5. Consultant shall support the City with any presentations relevant to the City Council.

6. Consultant estimates that approximately 50 sheets will be developed for the final deliverable, using the latest AutoCAD format with a sheet size of 24”x36”.
/ / /
iv. Task 5.4: 90% Constructability Review

1. At the 90% Review stage, the construction documents are expected to be much more developed and near completion. Therefore, our Item #12. Page 76
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 144
01240.0001/535308.1 A-34
approach to the 90% Review will be to provide a much more detail-oriented review, including specifications, bid items, and engineer’s estimate. It will begin with back-checking the 60% Review comments to ensure they have been adequately responded to by Consultant. Then, the plan sheets and specification sections with specialty items, such as electrical, instrumentation, mechanical, stormwater, etc., will be distributed amongst the various team members who have an expertise in that particular field.

2. The 90% Review will include specifications and engineer’s estimate. Each disciplinary reviewer will review the relevant specification sections that pertain to their field to ensure that the technical specifications are complete and correlate properly to the Plans. Quantity takeoffs will be performed using Revu Bluebeam to calculate linear footages, areas, and per each quantities for unit price bid items. Construction notes and measurements
corresponding to separate bid items will be color coded in Bluebeam to ensure that every construction element is covered by a bid item, without overlap. Deliverables for review comments will be provided in a tabulated form utilizing Microsoft Excel, complemented by a marked-up pdf, utilizing text features in Revu Bluebeam to support and clarify the tabulated comments. The spreadsheet includes the reviewer’s initials sheet/page number, detail number/spec section, comment, and provide a column for Designer’s written response.
v. Task 5.5: 100% Plans, Specifications, and Estimate

1. Upon completion of the City review for the 90% design submittal and the Constructability Review, Consultant shall incorporate all agreed upon comments into the 100% final design plans. Prior to submission, an internal QA/QC review will be conducted.

2. One (1) final full-size 24”x36” hard copy and digital electronic files of 100% plans, specifications, and cost estimate will be submitted. The 100% submittal is the final plan set deliverable an no additional rounds of comments are anticipated.

1. Consultant shall prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). This Scope of Work assumes that significant unavoidable adverse impacts would not occur with the adoption and implementation of the proposed project. Each of the topics identified in the current Environmental Checklist Form will be analyzed to document the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts for the proposed project. Consultant shall work with City’s Contract Officer to develop the project description that will be used to analyze each environmental issue, and which will be included in the IS/MND. For each technical issue discussed in the IS/MND, Consultant shall (1) provide a discussion of existing project site conditions; (2) conduct a project-specific analysis; and (3) identify all potential significant adverse environmental impacts. If necessary, Consultant shall provide feasible mitigation measures to reduce or avoid the significant impact(s). The analysis will address both short-term (i.e., construction) impacts, including air pollutant emissions, visual impacts, noise, and traffic; and long-term impacts associated with energy use, maintenance vehicle access, and noise from operation of the new facilities. Quantitative analyses related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, energy, and noise will be conducted. As the site and surrounding area are developed and only ornamental vegetation appears to be present, potential biological resources impacts will be assessed through biologist review of photographs taken during the site visit by an environmental planner and aerial photography. A Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment will be conducted and will be summarized in the IS/MND (no stand-alone report), and the results of the Section 106 Report (Task 2) will be summarized. The results of jurisdictional delineation (Task 3) will be summarized. This scope assumes the City will conduct all required tribal consultation; Consultant shall draft an initial consultation letter and attend up to four hours of meetings with tribal representatives and City staff.

2. Following City review of the Administrative Draft IS/MND, Consultant shall prepare an Approval Draft IS/MND for final review, followed by preparation of the IS/MND for public review.

It is assumed the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), is the federal lead agency and that any documents, asbuilts, or plans on file with USACE for Little Dalton Wash will be provided for review as part of the evaluation. This scope of work assumes one draft and one final Section 106 technical report will be prepared.
iii. Task 6.3: Jurisdictional Delineation

1. Consultant shall perform a jurisdictional delineation to determine the extent of “waters of the U.S.,” including wetlands (if present), and/or “Waters of the State” that are located on the project site.

The proposed impact areas are defined as the ultimate limits of project disturbance including grading and any other constructionrelated activity (e.g., haul routes, storage areas) that involves temporary and/or permanent ground disturbance that can be characterized as dredge or fill within “waters of the U.S.,” and/or “waters of the State”. Digital files (in CAD or GIS) of the proposed project’s permanent and temporary disturbance areas will be evaluated to be used for impact analysis. The survey area for the field analysis will consist of the proposed project impact areas and any areas within an approximate 100-foot radius of the impact Item #12. Page 79
Meeting Date: 4/26/2022 / Packet Page #: 147
01240.0001/535308.1 A-37
areas (to account for future minor changes in the impact footprint).

2. Consultant shall conduct a field survey/assessment and will delineate the limits of jurisdictional waters in the survey area.

After the field assessment is complete, Consultant shall prepare a Jurisdictional Delineation Report that summarizes the findings of the field work.

presence/absence of wetland conditions (if necessary). A draft report will be provided for City’s Contract Officer review; one round of revisions to incorporate City comments is assumed. iv. Task 6.4: Regulatory Permitting

1. The scope of regulatory permitting outlined below represents an expected level of effort for coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to acquire permits to authorize construction impacts for the Project. Agency permit application fees are not included in the budget for this task.

2. The level of effort to acquire regulatory permits varies significantly based on the complexity of a project and resource agency policies that are subject to change. The budgeted amount for regulatory permitting is our best estimate based on previous experience. If permit processing exceeds the expected level of effort, we may submit a contract amendment request. The cost associated with this task includes the preparation and submittal of permit application materials to the three resource agencies as well as time to coordinate with agency staff to effectuate the issuance of the agency permits, which would consist of project meetings, correspondence with agency staff, and preparation of any needed supplemental information.
a. Note: CDFW and the RWQCB are unable to issue permits until projects are shown to have completed the various
requirements of the CEQA. Proof of CEQA compliance is
indicated by providing a final Notice of Determination for any CEQA document. The USACE can issue a permit only
after the RWQCB permit is issued. CDFW permit
application materials are submitted via the Environmental Permit Information Management System (EPIMS) website,
which requires that the project applicant open an account on the site. The login information will be shared with us Item #12. Page 80

Subject: Proposal for the Development of the Finkbiner Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project Design

Dear Ms. Sweet:

Craftwater Engineering appreciates the opportunity to submit the enclosed Fee Proposal (Scope of Work and Cost Proposal) to provide consulting services to develop the 100% design documents, environmental and documentation and permitting, and public outreach efforts to support the implementation of the Finkbiner Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project.

The design will contain all the components required for a construction-ready plan set including all necessary permits and CEQA documentation. We understand the importance of this project to the City and the Upper San Gabriel Watershed Management Program and well as its potential to meet the required pollutant load reduction goals. Our design approach includes a cost-benefit analysis which determines the optimum project size and type that will efficiently help achieve those pollutant goals.

Our key project team members include Courtney Semlow, PE (MA, VA), ENV SP, Project Manager; Oliver Galang, PE, ENV-SP, Principal Engineer, and Andrew Takahashi, PE, ENV SP, Design Engineer. We previously completed preliminary design and feasibility study reports for Finkbiner Park, which was selected for funding under the Safe Clean Water Program for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Upper San Gabriel River Stormwater Investment Plan.

We look forward to supporting you and demonstrating our thorough understanding of stormwater capture project design as we execute a top-notched project for the City of Glendora. Services will be billed based on time and materials for a not-to-exceed price contract amount of $1,107,296.

Should you have any questions, please contact me at 213.598.4178 or [email protected].

Respectfully submitted,
Oliver Galang, PE
Principal Engineer, Craftwater Engineering, Inc.
