From: Irma Granger <[email protected]>
Sent: Monday, June 27, 2022 8:59 PM
To: City Clerk Outside E-Mail <[email protected]> Subject: Vote of No Confidence in DA George Gascon
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Please share the information below with the City of Glendora Mayor and City Council Members regarding tomorrow night's vote on the subject topic.

I strongly urge the City of Glendora Mayor and City Council to vote affirmatively on Tuesday night, June 28th on the No-Confidence agenda item regarding Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón. It is in the best interest of the citizens of the City of Glendora for the Mayor and City Council to make this important statement for the sake of public safety and in support of victims of violent crime in the City of Glendora. LA County District Attorney George Gascon’s policies are dangerous and demonstrate a lack of regard or care for the victims of crime in Los Angeles County.

Last year I sent several emails to members of this City Council asking for this action to be taken based upon directives that George Gascon created on day one. These directives include but are not limited to:
• The elimination of cash bail
• Ending the use of sentence enhancements and letting violent criminals off easy • Refusing to prosecute juveniles as adults, regardless of the crime or circumstances • Abandoning victims at parole hearings
• Declining to prosecute crimes that affect quality of life • Never seeking the death penalty or life without parole, even in the most egregious cases LA County District Attorney George Gascon believes that the voters have given him the authority to set policies, even if they violate state law. He is wrong. District Attorneys are elected to enforce laws, not change or create them based on their own beliefs. Laws are changed through legislation and challenging the court. In fact, on May 26, 2022 a three justice panel of the California Appeals Court ruled that LA County District Attorney George Gascón cannot order prosecutors to sidestep elements of the state's 3-strikes law that may increase prison terms when filing criminal charges, and cannot order prosecutors to drop or withdraw special circumstance allegations that could lead to sentences of life without the possibility of parole. Had LA County District Attorney George Gascon followed the laws of the State of California, 2 El Monte Police Officers would not have been murdered a couple of weeks ago. The murderer was not jailed per the three strikes law as he should have been.

As I mentioned above, I have previously reached out to Glendora City Council Members via email on this topic. I eventually gave up writing to you because it was clear that the Mayor and City Council did not have the courage to send a message to George Gascon and join the other cities that have Item #3. Page 3
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 12
taken this action (35 cities so far). I am surprised and disappointed that it has taken so long for you to add this item to your City Council Meeting Agenda, but ultimately I am pleased to see it finally happen.

As a member of the community of Glendora and as someone who has attended the Glendora Citizens Academy, I understand the commitment, resourcefulness and integrity with which the Glendora Police Department carries out its duty to protect and defend the citizens of the City of Glendora. I don’t want to see anyone from the Glendora PD be put in harm’s way because of the actions of the rogue LA County District Attorney George Gascon. I don’t want a citizen of the City of Glendora to be put in harm’s way because of the actions of the rogue LA County District Attorney George Gascon. This man has demonstrated his resolve to ignore the needs of the victims and instead is committed to serving the needs of the criminal elements in the neighborhoods of Los Angeles County, of which Glendora is one.

The Mayor and City Council can demonstrate their care for the City of Glendora and its business owners and citizens by voting on the resolution of a No Confidence Vote in LA County DA George Gascon.

Respectfully submitted,
Irma Granger

Dear Honorable Councilmembers of Glendora,
I urge you to vote yes on a no confidence vote of Los Angeles County’s District Attorney George Gascón. I am a mother of 3 school aged children and I take care of my elderly mother. My family nor I have been victims of a horrible crime, but we fear that if we are victims the criminal(s) will get little to no consequences under Gascon’s failed leadership and policies.

Nearly 98% of his own deputy district attorneys voted no confidence in him! I have met several of them and they say it is a nightmare to work under his insane directives. Some even chose to take an early retirement.

I think of the mother walking her infant with stroller and that deranged lunatic who deliberately ran them over and kept driving. He only got 5 months in a “camp.” I also think of the man who molested a 10 year old little girl in a Denny’s restroom. Because he identified as a woman he got put in a girls only juvenile detention center even though he’s a biological male and in his upper 20’s! It later was discovered out in Kern County that he was guilty of first degree murder so thankfully that is a different DA who can prosecute him.

Please stand up for victims and send a message that this insanity must stop. Criminals need to be held accountable for their crimes or else crime will continue to increase.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Cheryl Schmidt

COMMENTS IN EMAIL:

Mayor and Council Members:

For the record, attached is Shade's Communication regarding the No Confidence in George Gascon Resolution on the agenda for tonight's meeting.

Also attached are two articles I"ve done for the Examiner documenting why I am in favor of that Resolution being passed tonight. In fact, I believe this should have been done a long time ago.

The third attachment is from the NY Post that serves as backup for some of the information circulated through the San Gabriel Valley Examiner when the Goerge Soros assault on the Criminal Justice System started in 2011 with AB 109 releasing thousands of criminals from prison into our neighborhoods.

I have heard you will have plenty of people at the meeting tonight who will be supporting that Resolution along with the Recall Gascon Campaign of which I am one. These attachments will serve as my comments for the meeting tonight.

Failed Leadership, Justice System Leaves Two More Dead
SHADE’S PERSPECTIVE
By Lois M. Shade, former Mayor, Glendora
June 23-29, 2022
Sadly, we’ve lost two more police officers, this time from El Monte. Headlines now blame L.A.D.A. George Gascon and his policies for their deaths because he failed to enforce threestrikes and gang and gun enhancements. Gascon’s policies are in lockstep with George Soros and Open Society Foundation policies which is why George Soros dropped $2.5 million into Gascon’s campaign against former D.A. Jackie Lacey.

Item #3. Page 7
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 16
Soros’s multi-billion-dollar funding efforts, are the biggest part of the deterioration of our criminal justice system along with those who bow to his policies and his money.

The killer of the El Monte Police Officers was Justin Flores, 35, known gang member with a history of criminal activities and probation violations. LA. Times reported: Flores had been arrested and served two prison terms for burglary and car theft and been prohibited from carrying a gun since 2011. Arrested in 2020 and charged with possessing methamphetamine, a gun and ammunition, Flores plead guilty to possessing a gun as a felon and other charges were dropped in 2021. That episode gave him his second strike. The latest episode that should have landed him in jail was the assault committed on his girlfriend, a probation violation, and instead of being taken into custody, a hearing on his violations was set for June 27th.

Anger is pouring over and demands to stop the violence has brought out the far-left liberals, including Gov. Newsom, suggesting if guns were taken away or more restrictions added to a long list of gun controls, the violence and killing would end. Looking at what has happened the last 10 years in California to the criminal justice system, I’m not sure if it has been a giant political scam or a defined attempt to undermine law and order in this country.

For us in L.A. County, Step 1 – Recall L.A. District Attorney George Gascon, the co-author of Prop. 47.

In 2011, U.S. Supreme Court demanded California reduce prison population from 180% to 137.5% of design capacity. Then Gov. Brown said no more prisons and AB 109 was written to shift responsibility for housing and supervision from state prison to local county jails.

Those released were to be non-serious, non-violent and non-sexual offenders with prior felony offenses and any enhancements (gang activity, use of gun) not considered. County jails already full, resulted in early release of 45,000 criminals flooding back onto our streets.

League of California Cities and local police departments determined some of those early releases had been convicted of attempted murder, domestic violence, rape, burglary, elder abuse, terrorist threats, lewd & lascivious acts with a minor, battery with serious bodily injury and violations of parole got them flash incarceration – 10 days back in jail.

AB 109 worked out so well for Brown and his Democrat supporters, they came back with Gascon’s Prop. 47, supported by Gavin Newsom, and gave it a “love-it” title - Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act. 60% of voters in 2014 believed that’s what they were getting when actually it reclassified some serious felonies as misdemeanors. Drug possession of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and other opiates, repeated shoplifting, forging checks, gun theft, and possession of date-rape drugs, all of which were felonies before Prop 47 was approved, are now classified in as misdemeanors.

Assemblyman Kevin Kiley tried to repeal Prop 47, but could not get AB 1599 out of committee onto the floor for a vote. Seemed important to some, or many, not to have their vote on this issue recorded.

In 2016, Prop 57, Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act, was approved by 65% of the voters.

The non-partisan Legislative Analyst Office wrote Prop 57 allows for the early release of up to 30,000 criminals convicted of “non-violent” felonies. Among the crimes classified as “nonviolent” include: rape by intoxication, rape of an unconscious person, human trafficking with minors, drive-by-shooting, assault with a deadly weapon, hate crime causing physical injury, and Item #3. Page 8
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 17
corporal injury to a child.

Department of Corrections has the unlimited authority to grant credits to all criminals regardless of their crime, which would facilitate any criminal’s early release from State prison. • Criminals who commit multiple crimes against multiple victims will be eligible for release at the same time as offenders who only committed a single crime against a single victim. • Repeat criminals will be eligible for release after the same period of incarceration as first-time offenders.

Erika D. Smith, Sacramento Bee, 5/18/18 reported, “During the last election cycle (2016) Soros dumped more than $3 million on district attorney candidates in six states. Back in 2014, his Open Society Foundation gave the American Civil Liberties Union a $50 million grant to elect progressive prosecutors in big cities with large jail populations.” May 13, 2022, Sacramento Bee reported: “California could close three more state prisons, Gavin Newsom’s budget says.”
L.A. County Voters – Step 1 – Recall George Gascon, co-author Prop 47 and recipient of Soros PAC money.

RE: Resolution of No Confidence in Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón (Requested by Allawos and Boyer)
I am concerned this No Confidence in George Gascon Resolution has taken this long to come forward from my City Council. Some of our Glendora Council Members have been supportive of the efforts to recall Gascon, but some not so pro-active in this effort. I find it hard to believe any one of you would be reticent to begin to restore a semblance of a criminal justice system to Los Angeles County when so many have been so hurt and damaged by what Gascon has done – or not done.

George Gascon is listed as the co-author of Prop. 47 documenting more of the efforts to eliminate our prison system and any penalties for law breakers under the guise of “reform.” After that proposition was passed by the voters, unaware of the true impact this insidious law would have, Gascon followed through on the “game plan” to do more damage to our system of law and order by implementing his nine directives.
• Special Directive 20-06: Pretrial Release Policy
• Special Directive 20-07: Misdemeanor Case Management
• Special Directive 20-08: Sentencing Enhancements/Allegations • Special Directive 20-09: Youth Justice
Item #3. Page 9
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 18
• Special Directive 20-10: Habeas Corpus Litigation Unit • Special Directive 20-11: Death Penalty Policy
• Special Directive 20-12: Victim Services
• Special Directive 20-13: Conviction Integrity Unit
• Special Directive 20-14: Resentencing
Prop 47 and getting George Gascon elected over Jackie Lacey using $2.5 million of George Soros’s Open Society Foundation money and his well-hidden PAC money was in reality just one piece of the outrageous plan to destroy the criminal justice system, not just in California, but across the entire Country.

Attached are two articles I did for the San Gabriel Valley Examiner and an article from the New York Post, December 2021, that provides you with my concerns and reasons why this No Confidence Resolution needs to pass tonight. These articles should provide more insight and reasons for this Council to become far more aggressive in its efforts to cure what I call the George Soros Syndrome.

We have a 91-year-old immigrant with billions of dollars, sitting protected behind a tall wall in New York who wants to tear California and this country down starting with our Criminal Justice System using any group or politician who will bow down and take his money to support the Soros Agenda. George Gascon is one of those politicians and we the public are victims of these ludicrous policies.

Please support and vote for the No Confidence in George Gascon Resolution and support the Recall Gascon election.

For the last several years, billionaire philanthropist George Soros has been quietly financing a revolution in criminal justice reform, doling out tens of millions of dollars to progressive candidates in district attorney races throughout the country amid movements to abolish bail and defund the police.

Working with an activist attorney, Soros, 91, mainly funnels cash through a complicated web of federal and state political action committees as well as non-profits from coast to coast, public records show.

Last year, the Foundation to Promote Open Society, a nonprofit in Soros’ orbit, gave $3 million to the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability, according to a recent report. The group provides resources to “local advocates and organizations working to address the harm of policing in the US.”
Hungarian-born philanthropist Soros and his Open Society group of non-profits have mainly doled out cash to political action campaigns controlled by attorney and criminal justice reform activist Whitney Tymas, 60. She is the treasurer of the Justice and Safety PAC as well as 20 other similarly named groups at both the state and federal levels, according to public filings.

The goal of the myriad PACs is focused on electing progressives to end tough policing and mass incarceration, according to Tymas. “If we are to reach a place of true progress, it will take the sustained efforts of local elected prosecutors across the country to rectify and reimagine their role in the criminal legal system — not just as gatekeepers, but as active catalysts for change,” wrote Tymas in an opinion article last year.

Her efforts coupled with Soros’ largesse have played an outsize role in some of the most controversial district attorney campaigns in the US, including George Gascon in Los Angeles as well as Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Kim Foxx in Chicago, among others. Soros also donated $1 million to Alvin Bragg’s successful DA campaign in Item #3. Page 13

Manhattan, funneling the cash through the Color of Change political action committee, according to public filings.
“George Soros has quietly orchestrated the dark money political equivalent of ‘shock and awe,’ on local attorney races through the country, shattering records, flipping races and essentially making a mockery of our entire campaign finance system,” said Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center in Virginia. (Calls to Soros’ camp went unreturned on Thursday.) Between 2015 and 2019, Soros and his affiliated political action committees spent more than $17 million on local DA races in support of left-wing candidates, according to the Capital Research Center, a non-profit that tracks lobbying and charitable giving. That number is expected to top $20 million in the last two years, according to estimates from the NLPC.

Boudin, whose parents were members of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group, wants to end mass incarceration and cash bail, earning Soros’ campaign dollars.AP
“I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like this where federal election level money and resources are brought to bear and coordinated to effectively flip local level races where campaign finance restrictions make it almost impossible to counter,” said Anderson, adding that conservative opponents are hamstrung by local campaign finance laws that Soros doesn’t have to abide by because he is using independent expenditures and not directly coordinating with the campaigns.

Critics say the policies of Soros-funded DAs, which have included abolishing bail and, in the case of Chicago, placing hundreds of violent criminals on electronic tracking systems, have led to a spike in crime throughout the country. According to the FBI’s annual Uniform Crime Report released in September, the country saw a 30 percent increase in homicides in 2020 — the largest single-year spike since they began recording crime statistics 60 years ago. The report also saw a 24 percent decrease in arrests across the country.

Item #3. Page 14
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 23
This year, Philadelphia, a city of 1.5 million, had more homicides than New York and Los Angeles, the country’s two largest cities. The city recorded 521 homicides — the highest since 1990 — compared to 443 in New York and 352 in Los Angeles. Chicago, the country’s third largest city, registered the highest number of homicides at 739, up three percent from the previous year.

Los Angeles County District
Attorney George Gascon, also backed by Soros, has presided over a crime spike since he was inaugurated in December 2020.AFP via Getty Images “Everywhere Soros-backed prosecutors go, crime follows,” said Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton in a statement to The Post. “These legal arsonists have abandoned their duty to public safety by pursuing leniency even for the most heinous crime, and they often flat-out refuse to charge criminals for shoplifting, vagrancy and entire categories of misdemeanors.”
In Los Angeles, where critics say that criminal justice reforms have recently led to a wave of looting and violent crimes, Soros funneled more than $2.5 million into a California political action committee to support Gascon, who left the San Francisco District Attorney’s office to run against incumbent Jackie Lacey in 2020. The Cuban-born Gascon, who moved with his family to the US in 1967, said in his December 2020 inauguration speech that the rush to “incarcerate generations of kids of color” had torn the “social fabric of our communities. The status quo hasn’t made us safe.” Boudin, whose parents were members of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group, echoed similar sentiments during his campaign in San Francisco. A former public defender and translator for former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, Boudin has promised to end mass incarceration and cash bail. Former San Francisco homicide prosecutors Brooke Jenkins and Don Du Bain recently quit their jobs, two of 59 attorneys to resign since Boudin took office in January 2020.

Philadelphia District Attorney
Larry Krasner has seen crime in his city skyrocket with more homicides than New York and Los Angeles, the country’s two largest cities. Getty Images Earlier this week, San Francisco mayor London Breed announced an emergency crackdown on crime after a spike in gun violence and lethal fentanyl overdoses in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood. “It’s time the reign of criminals who are destroying our city, it is time for it to come to an end,” she said. “And it comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement. More aggressive with the changes in our policies and less tolerant of all the b–ls–t that has destroyed our city.” The problem begins with lax law enforcement at the DA level, according to critics. “The only good Soros prosecutor is a defeated Soros prosecutor,” Cotton told The Post.

But that’s becoming increasingly rare as Soros and other progressive groups step up their funding.

Cook County State’s Attorney came under fire when her office dismissed all the charges in the original 16-count indictment against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett in 2019, three weeks after a grand jury had issued it. Last week, Smollett was convicted of staging a false hate crime.

And Soros’ funding doesn’t end with electing progressive prosecutors. In October, Soros’ Open Society Policy Center donated $500,000 to Equity PAC, a Texas-based group that funds progressive causes and was working to oppose a ballot proposition that would have seen the capital city of Austin hire hundreds of new police officers amid a spike in violent crime. Although the city has seen a 10 percent rise in aggravated assaults over 2020, Proposition A was overwhelmingly defeated last month — apparently thanks to Soros’ cash injection, which funded ad campaigns throughout Austin.

Soros’ donation came a year after his non-profit funneled $652,000 to the Texas Justice and Public Safety PAC group that backed the election of Jose Garza, who assumed office as Travis County DA, based in Austin.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Please find attached my comment for the Vote of No Confidence in DA Gascon.

Sincerely,
Thea Eskey
City Council Speech
Mayor, city council members, thank you for having me. My name is Thea Eskey and I am an investigative reporter currently working on a series of articles about child abuse in Los Angeles. As a journalist, I have an ethical obligation to pursue the truth. It is that duty that compels me to make a statement here tonight.

I don’t live here in Glendora, I live in Hollywood, which is 35 miles away, but I firmly believe that what affects one of us affects all of us. Indeed, the vote of no confidence that you have before you really asks a simple question of all of us: what kind of county do we want to live in?
As I mentioned, I have an ethical responsibility to report the truth. The fact is that Los Angeles is in the midst of a child abuse crisis. An audit of the Los Angeles County DCFS showed that from 2013 to 2018, 257 children died from abuse, 69 of whom had type of DCFS supervision in their homes. Also, as a state we spend 12.5 billion annually to combat child abuse.

While it may seem like a tangent to bring this up, it is vitally important to understand because while CPS and the social safety net continues to fail vulnerable and abused children it falls more and more on the criminal justice system to pick up the slack. Now, it seems that not even that system can withstand the attacks made by groups of individuals who seek to undermine public safety, justice and accountability for their own ends.

Quite simply council members, George Gascon represents an existential threat to public safety in our county and I use those words intentionally. The speakers who came before me have eloquently shown their proof of that. I want to add to that chorus.

Linking social capital, or how citizens relate to and trust the ones who govern them, is being eroded daily by the unethical and pro-criminal agenda undertaken by this District Attorney and his administration. His actions during his brief tenure demonstrate a clear abrogation of victims rights in favor of those of the criminal defendant. In researching and listening to victims of crime in Los Angeles, I cannot begin to tell you how many of them feel left behind, alienated from a system that they once found refuge in after facing grave injustice. The way they are feeling should worry all of us. If victims of crime, survivors of crime and their families do not feel that they can trust the criminal justice system to fight to make them whole, I fear for the path that leads our county down.

For that reason alone, although you will read and hear many other equally compelling ones tonight, I strongly urge this council to vote no confidence in George Gascon. Thank you.

Dear City Council (Current and New Members),
I am requesting this city council, as well as the new council members scheduled to be installed this month, please vote NO confidence in Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon. The failure to do so is a vote in support of his radical decriminalization which has brought exponential property damage to residents and businesses and harm to the residents of this great city. The leaders of our city need to show the residents they are not in favor of such actions and stand with them.

My grandmother has been a resident of Glendora for over 40 years, since 1978. She is an active senior and involved with the Glendora Women's Club (has served as a past board member), an attendee of La Fetra senior programs including the lunch program, she is also an ordained minister and a member of Lorraine Baptist Church in Glendora. I am writing this letter on her behalf, requesting you do what is necessary to help keep her and all other Glendora residents safe.

Sadly, I am unable to attend tonight's city council meeting in person but I truly hope the council will do what is right and vote no confidence in Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

Respectfully,
Danita Beauchamp

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Since Gascon has taken office, I have seen a noticeable increase in lawlessness in LA County but also in the city of Glendora. Most notably the recent attempted murder shooting inside the Vons market. But additionally, there have been thefts in Glendora that go unreported because victims are often told there is nothing that can be done by police because the DA will not prosecute. Although I disagree with that approach, I understand the frustration the police must feel where they arrest someone for catalytic converter theft and identity theft only to be released on zero bail. To be clear, it is not the job of the police to decide what will be prosecuted or not. They should enforce the law regardless. But I do understand that it is a waste of resources to arrest, process and document a crime that will be rejected by the DA because of his so called progressive agenda. DA Goerge Gascon has weakened law enforcement as a whole and in the process made us all unsafe and at the mercy of the criminals. A vote of no confidence is not only necessary it is an absolute necessity to send a clear message to this DA that he has failed to protect the people of Glendora and Los Angeles County.

This is the council's SECOND opportunity to vote no confidence on DA Gascon. I assure you, that we are paying attention this time around.

Subject: 6-28-2023 public comment for the “vote of no confidence” Good Evening City Council members.

As a Glendora resident for over 48 years, I am here AGAIN asking ALL of you to stand up and show your support to our resident’s by unanimously passing the “Vote of No Confidence with DA George Gascon.”
I want to remind you, that a vote of no confidence isn’t being political.

You are giving this person, an evaluation of his job performance, just like the voters do when a council member isn’t reelected.

George Gascon isn’t performing the job he was elected to do, and people are dying because of it, just ask El Monte PD.

DA Gascon has consistently displayed a total disregard for the rights of crime victims and their families.

He is repeatedly rewarding the actions of criminals, by not enforcing the legal enhancements and prosecuting these criminals to the full extent of the law.

Just look at LA county’s current felony crime rates. Since, he has taken office, every crime has overwhelming increased in LA county, and they continue to do so.

According to “Special directive 20-09, if Louie Pompei’s murder would have occurred today, the two that were convicted of his senseless brutal murder, would spend less time in prison, then Louie did protecting us and our city.

The laws which DA Gascon are ignoring were democratically passed by the registered voters in California and need to be enforced as such.

He doesn’t have the right to change these laws, just ask the California’s Court of Appeal.

I would also like to know just how much of our tax dollars was spent trying to prove it wasn’t necessary to do what was asked last year by the residents of the city council by Item #3. Page 23
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 32
issuing a vote of no confidence against Gascon?
You accepted this agreement, which included a few of the DA’s personal appointed representatives. The agreement of them working with the City and GPD to review and possibly refile the numerous criminal cases that were originally rejected. These cases weren’t rejected because of lack of evidence, they were rejected because of Gascon’s policies. So, the agreement didn’t work like it should have, did it? It was a waste of our money, time and it continued to put our safety at risk.

Just to remind you, most of his personal appointed representatives have never spent a day on the prosecuting side of the courtroom, so they will say anything and do everything to get that “Not-guilty” verdict for their side.

So please, now do what you all were elected to do, put the safety of Glendora 1st, and vote unanimously for “No confidence with George Gascon” Thank-you, Kathy Giordano

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS DATE: JUNE 28, 2022
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DISTRICT(S): CITYWIDE
SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LEVY FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 AND APPROVING THE ENGINEER'S REPORT

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

Open and conduct a Public Hearing, accept evidence and testimony presented, and in the absence of testimony to the contrary consider the following:

1. Adopt a City Council Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 WITH RESPECT TO THE LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO.1;” and,

2. Adopt a City Council Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ENGINEER’S REPORT FILED WITH RESPECT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 LEVY OF THE ASSESSMENT IN CONNECTION WITH CITY OF GLENDORA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO 1.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Each fiscal year, the City annually levies and collects special assessments for the City’s Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 (the “District”) to fund the provision of landscaping services such as ground maintenance, tree service, irrigation repairs, plant/shrub maintenance and replacement, as well as litter removal. Currently the District consists of seven (7) zones.

The CPI ratio from March 2021 to March 2022 was equivalent to 8.50%, but since the District’s inflator is limited to 5%, this will be used as the assessment rate inflator for the six (6) zones with a CPI inflator. The assessment rate for the zone with no CPI inflator will remain the same. The assessment rate for Zone 5 may not be adjusted by the CPI.

As a last step before submitting the assessments to Los Angeles County, staff now recommends that City Council open and conduct a public hearing, accept evidence and testimony presented, and in the absence of testimony to the contrary, adopt the resolutions 1) approving the annual assessment levy, and 2) approving the final engineer’s report.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 permits cities to establish assessment districts for the purpose of installing and/or constructing new public improvements or servicing and maintaining certain existing public improvements within the proposed district. The City of Glendora established its first Landscape and Streetlight Maintenance District in 1976.

Proposition 218, approved by voters on November 5, 1996, added Article XIIID to the California Constitution, and established procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. It also requires the City to ballot property owners to obtain consent for assessment increases exceeding the anticipated maximum permissible increase per assessment formula, for example CPI increases.

Item #6. Page 1
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 40
Staff Report Page 2 of 4
City Council adopted Resolution 03-20 on February 25, 2003, which allows for six (6) of the seven (7) remaining zones to be adjusted annually as high as the ratio between the March to March CPI for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area for All Urban Consumers, but not to exceed 5%. Such increase, provided it is not greater than the authorized 5% is not considered a rate increase and the City Council can levy the annual assessment without conducting a Proposition 218 protest hearing. The assessment rate for Zone 5 may not be adjusted by the CPI.

At the meeting of June 14, 2022, the City Council, in accordance with Section 22624 of California Streets and Highways Code, adopted three Resolutions:
 Resolution CC 2022- 33 approved initiating the proceedings for the annual assessment.  Resolution CC 2022-34 gave notice of intention to set a time and place for a Public Hearing regarding the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for the District.  Resolution CC 2022- 35 approved the Preliminary Engineer’s Annual Levy Report for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

DISCUSSION
CPI for March 2022 is 306.679 compared to 282.648 for March 2021 which equates to a rate increase of approximately 8.50% per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Since the inflator for the six (6) districts that can be increased annually by CPI is not to exceed 5%, the maximum assessment rates for those districts will be increased by this lower amount for FY 2022-2023, rather than the actual CPI. The assessment rate for Zone 5 may not be adjusted by the CPI and will remain the same as the previous year.

The table below shows the levies per equivalent benefit unit (EBU) for FY2022-2023 compared to the previous year’s levy. All EBU’s within this District are levied at the same rate.

Tonight’s Public Hearing, and adoption of the resolutions 1) approving the annual assessment levy, and 2) approving the final engineer’s report, are the last steps before submitting the assessments to Los Angeles County before the deadline the beginning of August, providing a final opportunity to receive public testimony regarding the proposed assessments.

The City Council will accept all public comments and written protest regarding the District and the annual levy and assessments. Based on those public comments and written protest, the City Council may order amendments to the report, or confirm the report as submitted. The assessments as approved will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each Item #6. Page 2

FISCAL IMPACT
The Engineer’s Report provides costs of services that maintains the current levels of service for each zone.

The assessments levied on property tax bills are collected by the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller’s Office and then remitted to the City. The funds, once received by the City, are deposited in the Landscape Assessment Fund (202B) and are restricted for paying the annual cost of the landscape district operations and maintenance. Funds not used in any given year are reserved for potential future annual shortages between the levy and its respective costs.

Where costs to maintain exceed collected levies, they must either be offset by fund reserves, outside fund transfers, or have services reduced. Zone 1 has routinely received 531 Water Fund monies as this site is located at the end of a reservoir, while Zone 5 has received 101 General Fund monies since this site is also an entrance to the Glendora Urban Trails System.

During most years, CPI increases for the six (6) eligible zones have been less than the maximum allowable annual increase of 5%. During the past year however, the CPI ratio from March 2021 to March 2022 was equivalent to 8.50%, meaning that costs generally increased more than the levy rate can be increased without a Proposition 218 ballot proceeding. Additionally, it is estimated that some costs will increase with the transition to a new landscape maintenance contract starting at the beginning of FY 2022/23.

In the event that costs consistently exceed the annual levy for any particular zone to where levy reserve funds are exhausted, the City may need to review its funding strategies and/or zone maintenance standards.

2022/2023 City of Glendora Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 Page 1 I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Glendora (“The City”), under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”), and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D (the “Constitution”), annually levies and collects special assessments for the City’s maintenance assessment district designated as:

Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
(the “District”) in order to provide and maintain various landscaping improvements throughout the City that provide special benefits to properties within the City. Originally the District was formed as the City of Glendora “Landscaping and Streetlighting Maintenance District No. 1”. In 2006, streetlights were removed from this District, and the District was renamed to the “Landscape Maintenance District No. 1” to reflect its focus on landscaping services.

In accordance with the 1972 Act, the District utilizes benefit zones (“Zones”) to address variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements that provide special benefits to parcels in the District. Within the boundaries of the District, parcels are assigned to various Zones each of which is associated with a set of improvements and/or type of improvements that provide special benefit to properties within that Zone.

As of Fiscal Year 2022/2023 the District is comprised of seven zones.

REPORT CONTENT AND ANNUAL PROCEEDINGS
This Engineer’s Annual Report (the “Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 and Chapter 3 of the 1972 Act, and presented to the City Council for their consideration and approval of the proposed improvements and services to be provided within the District and the levy and collection of annual assessments related thereto for fiscal year 2022/2023. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, or zone, of this Report is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Report and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, or zone, thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, portions, or zones, might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

This Report outlines the District Zone structure, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for fiscal year 2022/2023. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of landscaping improvements within various zones of benefit (“Zones”) that provide special benefits to the properties within the District and each respective Zone. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances, general benefit contributions and additional City contributions and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include, but are not limited to the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District; deficits or surpluses from prior years; revenues from other sources; and the collection of funds for operational reserves or for periodic maintenance and improvement rehabilitation projects as authorized by the 1972 Act.

Item #6. Page 8
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 47
2022/2023 City of Glendora Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 Page 2 Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

Each Zone outlined in this Report is a reflection of the various improvements and the types of improvements and services to be provided by the District for the properties that are directly associated with and benefit from those improvements. The net annual cost to provide the improvements for each Zone are allocated to the benefiting properties within that Zone using a weighted method of apportionment (refer to Assessment Methodology, Method of Apportionment) that calculates the proportional special benefit and assessment for each parcel as compared to other properties that benefit from the District improvements and services.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the District assessments.

At a noticed annual Public Hearing, the City Council will accept all public comments and written protests regarding the District and the annual levy of assessments. Based on those public comments and written protests, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments the Council will, by Resolution, order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessments as approved will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel.

As required by the 1972 Act, this Engineer’s Report describes the improvements to be provided, maintained and serviced by the District, an estimated budget for the District improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District for fiscal year 2022/2023.

While the budgets outlined in this Report reflect the estimated costs necessary to fully and adequately provide for the maintenance and operation of the improvements within the District, many of these estimated costs and associated services cannot be funded by the current special benefit assessment revenues and the City contribution for those improvements or portions thereof determined to be general benefits. Therefore, in addition to the City’s contribution for general benefit costs, in some Zones, at the discretion of the City Council, the City may also provide additional funding to support the improvements and/or implement service reductions. To fully fund the improvements that are considered special benefits, it may be necessary in the future to increase assessment revenues which would require the support of the property owners for new or increased assessments through a ballot proceeding conducted under the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D.

2022/2023 City of Glendora Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 Page 4 • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES WITHIN THE DISTRICT
The purpose of the District is to fund the maintenance and servicing of parkway landscape improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District.

There are seven (7) zones where the landscape is managed under the Landscape Maintenance District No. 1. These properties were included in the District as a condition of development to maintain the parkway areas. At the time, in lieu of the homeowner association maintaining the public landscape, the developer agreed to be a part of the District and pay the annual assessment.

The territory within the District consists of all lots or parcels of land within the City of Glendora.

The purpose of this District is to provide in part through annual assessments, funding for the ongoing operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping improvements and services in various areas throughout the City. Improvements currently provided within the District generally include but are not limited to:
➢ Landscape improvements such as mowing, pruning, shaping and trimming of shrubs and trees, edging of ground cover areas, pest and weed control, supporting and replacing trees as required, maintenance of tree wells, fertilization, mulching, watering, maintenance of sprinkler systems, disease, insect and rodent control.

In accordance with the 1972 Act, the District utilizes Zones to address variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements that provide special benefits to parcels in the District.

Within the boundaries of the District, parcels are assigned to benefit zones each of which is associated with a set of improvements and/or type of improvements that provide special benefit to properties within that Zone.

For Fiscal Year 2022/2023 the District is comprised of the following:

Zones

1. Highland 7. Lorraine-Palm 16. Hidden Springs

2022/2023 City of Glendora Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 Page 6 III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in each Zone of the District should therefore reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on benefit to each parcel.

In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4 a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Furthermore, only special benefits may be assessed and the District must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

SPECIAL BENEFIT
The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas within the District provide aesthetic benefits to the properties within each respective Zone and a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live, and work. The primary function of these landscape improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and green space for the benefit of the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were constructed and installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within the Zones. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in each Zone and while some of these improvements may in part be visible to properties outside the Zone, collectively if these Zone improvements are not properly maintained, it is the parcels within the Zone that would be aesthetically burdened. Additionally, the street landscaping in these Zones serves as both a physical buffer as well as a sound reduction buffer between the roadways and the properties in the District and serve as a pleasant aesthetic amenity that enhances the approach to the parcels. As a result, the maintenance of these landscaped improvements provides particular and distinct benefits to the properties and developments within each Zone.

GENERAL BENEFIT
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of properties in each respective Zone or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for development of properties in those Zones. It is also evident that the maintenance these improvements and the level of maintenance provided has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) only on those properties in proximity to those improvements and such maintenance beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general Item #6. Page 13
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 52
2022/2023 City of Glendora Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 Page 7 public and property in general, has no quantifiable benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective Zone.

BENEFIT ZONES
Properties in each Zone benefit only from the services provided in that Zone. The boundaries of the Zones were selected such that only parcels that specifically benefit from services are included in a Zone, and all such parcels are included. Because different Zones receive different levels of service and include different numbers of parcels, the assessment is different for each Zone.

EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The Equivalent Benefit Unit method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family residential property equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (“EBU”). Every other land-use is converted to EBU’s based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family residential property (“SFR”).

The EBU method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for calculating benefit in districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land-use type, size and development.

Assessable parcels within each Zone are determined to receive the same special benefit from the improvements due to their similarity in size and use and their similar proximity to the improvements. Therefore, each assessable Residential parcel in a Zone is assigned 1 EBU.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Maximum Permissible Assessment
Proposition 218 requires the City to ballot property owners to obtain consent for the increased assessment exceeding the anticipated maximum permissible increase per assessment formula, for example CPI (Consumer Price Index) increase.

The table below shows the list of the Zones in the District, and indicates for each zone whether an inflation adjustment is being included in the Zone assessment.

2022/2023 City of Glendora Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 Page 8 As adopted by the City Council through Resolution 03-20, the maximum authorized assessment rate may be adjusted annually as high as the ratio between the March to March Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area for All Urban Consumers not to exceed 5%.

CPI for March 2021 was 282.648. CPI for March 2022 is 306.679.This results in a ratio of 1.08502 which equates to a percent of 8.50%. The inflator for this District is not to exceed 5%, therefore 5% will be used as the inflator. The maximum assessment rates for the six areas with an CPI inflator identified above will be increased by this ratio from the maximum assessment rate for FY 2022/2023. The Maximum Assessment Rate will remain the same for the zones that do not have an inflator.

Estimate of Cost
Section 22569 of the 1972 Act requires the Engineer’s Report to contain an estimate of the costs of the Improvements including:
• total costs of improvements including incidental expenses, • the amount of the surplus to be carried over from a previous fiscal year, • the amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than the assessment, • the amount, if any, to be collected in annual installments for the estimated cost of improvements,
• the net amount to be assessed within the Assessment District.

Costs of Improvements
As mentioned earlier, some zones are assessed at fixed annual rate without the CPI adjustment.

In such areas, the level of service (i.e., gardening and watering) is reduced so that the costs of providing services does not exceed assessment revenues. For the areas where the CPI adjustments have been approved, an attempt is made to provide the same levels of service from year to year.

The Community Services Department oversees the operation of the landscape maintenance while outside contractors as well as in-house staff are used to maintain these areas. The expenditures are listed in the fiscal year 2022/2023 budget listed below. Contract maintenance expenses are based on actual contractual costs. Water and electricity utility bills and routine supplies are estimated based on current expenditures.

Incidental Expenses:

Incidental expenses to be paid with assessment amounts of the Assessment District for FY 2022/2023 (“Incidental Expenses”) are included in the definition of “incidental expenses” as defined in Section 22526 of the 1972 Act.

Four types of incidental expenses are included in the costs associated with the Maintenance District: (i) compensation for special counsel providing advice in connection with the establishment of the Maintenance District, (ii) costs of the preparation of this Report, including preparation of plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment (“Assessment Engineering”), (iii) costs associated with printing, advertising, and the giving of published, posted, and mailed notices, including the balloting required by Article XIIID of the California Constitution, and (iv) compensation payable to the County of Los Angeles for the collection of assessments.

The budget shows the total amounts for incidental expenses for Fiscal Year 2022/2023.

This is included to subsidize any shortfalls for Zones in the District.

Annual Installments
The entire amount of the net assessment that will be assessed in FY 2022/2023.

ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Apportionment of Assessment
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act states that “The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be proportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
Section 22547 of the 1972 Act permits the designation of benefit zones within any individual assessment district if “…. by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.

Within each Zone, it is determined that each parcel in the Zone benefits equally from the services provided. Therefore, costs of providing services in a Zone (as well as a proportional share of incidental expenses) are spread evenly across each parcel in that Zone but not exceeding the maximum permissible assessment rates as approved by the property owners.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS DATE: JUNE 28, 2022
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DISTRICT(S): CITYWIDE
SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE LEVY OF FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 ASSESSMENT AND APPROVING THE ENGINEER'S REPORT IN CONNECTION WITH THE STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

Open and conduct a Public Hearing, accept evidence and testimony presented, and in the absence of testimony to the contrary consider the following:

1. Adopt a City Council Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 WITH RESPECT TO THE STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO.1;” and,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Glendora funds a portion of public street lighting costs through its Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 (“District”). During the 2006 reformation of the District, the property owners approved to adjust the assessment rate annually not exceeding the CPI. Such increase is thus not considered a rate increase and the City Council can levy the annual assessment without further approval by the property owners. The CPI ratio from March 2021 to March 2022 was equivalent to approximately 8.50%.

At the meeting of June 14, 2022, the City Council, in accordance with Section 22624 of California Streets and Highways Code, adopted three resolutions, 1) initiating the proceedings for the annual assessment levy, 2) stating its intention to levy the assessment for FY 2022-2023, and 3) approving the preliminary engineer’s report for FY2022-2023.

The Streetlight Maintenance District No.1 was re-formed on July 25, 2006, under the requirements of Proposition 218 and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. During the reformation, the property owners approved that the maximum assessment rate may increase each fiscal year based on the annual change in Item #7. Page 1
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 74
Staff Report Page 2 of 3
the CPI during the preceding year for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange County areas, as published by the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Such increase is thus not considered a rate increase and the City Council can levy the annual assessment without further approval by the property owners.

At the meeting of June 14, 2022, the City Council, in accordance with Section 22624 of California Streets and Highways Code, adopted three Resolutions:
 Resolution CC 2022-30 approved initiating the proceedings for the annual assessment.  Resolution CC 2022-31 gave notice of intention to set a time and place for a Public Hearing regarding the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2022-23 for the District.  Resolution CC 2022- 32 approved the Preliminary Engineer’s Annual Levy Report for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

DISCUSSION
The District includes 2,996 public streetlights, with 2,744 owned by Southern California Edison (SCE), and 252 owned by the City. Not funded as part of the District are private streetlights such as those owned by homeowner’s associations within gated communities, public streetlights that are obsolete and no longer in service such as the City’s antique streetlights, public safety lights positioned atop traffic signals, or traffic signals themselves.

Parcels within the district are divided into two different “Benefit Zones.” Benefit Zone “B” includes parcels within gated communities that are served by no public lighting other than perimeter lighting, and then Benefit Zone “A” includes all other parcels in the district.

Based on the County due date of August each fiscal year, it has been determined that a March CPI be utilized in place of June to allow enough time for the two required meeting dates (Intent Meeting and 10-day noticed Public Hearing). CPI for March 2022 was 306.679 compared to 282.648 for March 2021 which equates to a rate increase of approximately 1.08502, or 8.502%.

A comparison of rates for FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 is shown in the table below. Amounts shown are rounded to the nearest penny.

Tonight’s Public Hearing, and adoption of the resolutions 1) approving the annual assessment levy, and 2) approving the final engineer’s report, are the last steps before submitting the assessments to Los Angeles County before the deadline the beginning of August, providing a final opportunity to receive public testimony regarding the proposed assessments.

The City Council will accept all public comments and written protest regarding the District and the annual levy and assessments. Based on those public comments and written protest, the City Council may order amendments to the report, or confirm the report as submitted. The assessments as approved will be Item #7. Page 2

submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel.

FISCAL IMPACT
Total costs for servicing and maintaining streetlights, safety lights and traffic signals throughout the City is expected to be $690,467. A portion of this is for general benefit of the entire City and therefore paid for from the General Fund and Gas Tax revenues. Only special benefits may be funded by the Streetlight Assessment fund.

The revenues and costs for servicing and maintaining streetlights, safety lights and traffic signals are summarized as follows:

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS DATE: JUNE 28, 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 JUNE 30, 2022 THROUGH JULY 29, 2022, PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M.

BROWN ACT AND ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361

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 JUNE 30, 2022 THROUGH July 29, 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.

Starting at the March 22, 2022 City Council meeting, and again at its April 26, 2022 and May 24, 2022 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 June 29, 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 July 29, 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.

Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 86
Staff Report Page 3 of 4
Starting at the March 22, 2022 City Council meeting, and again at its April 26, 2022 and May 24, 2022 City Council meeting the City Council adopted resolutions 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. This “in-person hybrid approach” was utilized during all City public meetings in the months of April, May and June and is set to expire on June 29, 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 July 29, 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 July 29, 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:

Item #8. Page 3
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 87
Staff Report Page 4 of 4
• Public attendance via Zoom or in-person.
• 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 in-person.
• 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

[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 #8. Page 5
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 89
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.
92 Ch. 165 — 2 —
Item #8. Page 6
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 90
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 #8. Page 7
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 91
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.

SEC. 5. Sections 3.1 and 4.1 of this bill incorporate amendments to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by both this bill and Assembly Bill 339. Those sections of this bill shall only become operative if (1) both bills are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2022, but this bill becomes operative first, (2) each bill amends Section 54953 of the Government Code, and (3) this bill is enacted after Assembly Bill 339, in which case Section 54953 of the Government Code, as amended by Sections 3 and 4 of this bill, shall remain operative only until the operative date of Assembly Bill 339, at which time Sections 3.1 and 4.1 of this bill shall become operative.

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.

Item #8. Page 22
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 106
(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.

In addition, the City Council has prioritized first/last mile improvements in the Strategic Plan (Item 51-IMCIF) as part of the Glendora People Movement Project. These bus stops enhancements implement this policy as these are the closest bus stops to the future Metro L (Gold) Line Station.

DISCUSSION
The City of Glendora has bus stops of varying quality. In addition, major transit investments are underway, which will necessitate more substantial investment in multimodal infrastructure that is attractive and safe for users of all ages and abilities.

The focus of the City’s application are stops which have high ridership now or are anticipated to have significant ridership in the future. The City proposed enhancements to the Route 66/Glendora Avenue stops, which will be a major transfer point to the Metro L (Gold) Line.

Currently, both east and westbound stops have only benches, poles, and trash receptacles. Given this is a major thoroughfare and intersection, staff identified this area a high priority for enhancements. The shelters along Route 66 will be designed in a way consistent with the Route 66 Specific Plan which supports visual wayfinding and creates a coherent streetscape. This includes decorative roof with tile as Item #10. Page 1
Meeting Date: 6/28/2022 / Packet Page #: 118

well as green paint.

The proposed enhancements include:
• Two Bus Shelters (Two Sierra-style);
• 20 gallon post mounted trash receptacle;
• 8’ perforated metal bench;
• Solar lighting; and
• Tolar/USC/Papercast 13” E-Paper Real Time Passenger Information Display shelter mounted and solar powered; City of Glendora will furnish SIM card

FISCAL IMPACT
The current Fiscal Year 2022 Budget includes $1,500,000 for the Glendora People Movement Project. The grant agreement adds $40,000 for the purchase of the features listed in the previous section. Staff is proposing to utilize the CIP funds for design and installation of the bus stop enhancements. Design is estimated to be $10,000 and installation can be done with inhouse staff time and resources.

The Grantee shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the Grantee to carry out Foothill Transit’s DBE Program procedures and requirements or applicable requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 26 shall be considered a material breach of this Contract and may be grounds for termination of this Contract, or other such remedy as Foothill Transit deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to withholding monthly payments, assessing sanctions, liquidated damages, and/or disqualifying the Grantee from future bidding as non-responsible.
