You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The League of California Cities 2024 Annual Conference is scheduled for October 16 – 18, 2024 in Long Beach. An integral part of the conference is the Annual Business Meeting (during the General Assembly) on Friday, October 18, 2024. At this meeting, the League membership considers and take action on resolutions that establish League policy.
To have a vote at the League’s Annual Business Meeting, the Glendora City Council must designate a delegate to represent the City of Glendora. The City may appoint up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. The voting delegate and alternate(s) must be registered to attend the conference. Council Members Davis and Allawos have registered and confirmed attendance at the League’s Annual Conference; and with Council approval, will represent the City of Glendora’s interests.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Annually, the City Council designates one voting delegate and up to two voting alternates to vote at the Annual Business Meeting of the League of California Cities General Assembly. On February 13, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution CC 2024-05, updating the City’s list of delegates and alternates to various regional boards and committees that the City of Glendora is a member of, the League of California Cities – L.A. Division (CALCities) being included.
The City’s current delegate is Council Member Karen Davis, and the alternate is Council Member Michael Allawos. Traditionally, the delegate and alternate have been designated to fill the voting roles unless one or both appointees are not planning to attend the conference. In such an event, past practice has been for the City Council to open the voting role to any member(s) of the body that plan to attend the conference.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 25. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 25, 2024
Item #9. Page 3
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 184
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 25. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.
2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.
3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and Council Members DATE: September 10, 2024
FROM: City Clerk’s Office DISTRICT(S): City-Wide
SUBJECT: Amend by Resolution, the City’s 2023 Annual Review of Appointments to Various Boards by Updating the City’s Delegate for the Foothill Transit Executive Board (Boyer)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Appoint Mayor Thompson as the new delegate to serve on the Foothill Transit Governing Board at a date no later than December 10, 2024; and
2. Adopt a City Council Resolution entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING
THE APPOINTMENT OF DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES TO VARIOUS REGIONAL BOARDS AND COMMITTEES THAT THE CITY OF GLENDORA IS A MEMBER FOR 2023-24 AND RESCIND RESOLUTION CC 2024-05."
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Foothill Transit is a community-oriented and environmentally friendly public transit system that is committed to operating a 100% zero-emission bus fleet throughout Southern California’s San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys. With more than 30 local bus routes serving over 300 square miles and designated express routes to and from Pasadena and Downtown Los Angeles, Foothill Transit provides over 14 million bus rides each year.
Foothill Transit is comprised of 22 member cities in the Los Angeles County regional area and is governed by a Joint Powers Authority. The Governing Board comprises of five regional clusters, and the City of Glendora serves in Cluster 2. Cities included in Cluster 2 are Azusa, Baldwin Park, Covina, Irwindale, and West Covina. Representatives from the Governing Board are elected once a year at the agency’s annual meeting to serve on a five-member executive board. The Executive Board meets as needed to coordinate efforts of planning, contracting for, and operating public transit. The designated representatives also serve on any other committee or board that may coincide.
With Councilmember Boyer’s term expiring in December 2024, he will need to step away from his duties on the Foothill Transit Governing and Executive boards. The City Council is being asked to appoint Mayor Thompson in that role.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
After each City Council reorganization, which generally occurs early each calendar year, the Glendora City Council reviews and may change which Councilmembers are appointed as delegates and alternates to the various boards and committees the City of Glendora is a part of.
Since 2019, the City of Glendora’s appointed delegate for the Foothill Transit Governing Board is Councilmember Boyer, and the alternate is Councilmember Michael Allawos. Councilmember Boyer also serves on the Foothill Transit Executive Board. These appointments were last confirmed by the City Council on February 13, 2024 through Resolution CC 2024-05, which updated the City’s 2024 Appointments to Regional and Local Boards and Committees list.
DISCUSSION
Item #10. Page 1
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 188
Staff Report Page 2 of 2
With Councilmember Boyer’s City Council term set to expire in December 2024, it is recommended the Glendora City Council appoint Mayor Thompson as the new delegate to serve on the Foothill Transit Governing Board. Mayor Thompson expressed interest in the appointment, due to his experience as the City’s delegate for the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority Board (A-Line), where he also serves as Chair for the Finance Sub-Committee. If approved, the effective date of Mayor Thompson’s appointment as the City’s delegate to Foothill Transit shall coincide with Councilmember Boyer’s responsibility on Foothill Transit’s various boards and committees. More specifically, the effective date will be no later than December 10, 2024, but may be as early as September 10, 2024, depending on the requirements that Councilmember Boyer needs to fulfill. Foothill Transit and the City will work towards a mutually agreeable date that best serves both parties. Councilmember Allawos has expressed interest in remaining the designated alternate for the Foothill Transit Governing Board; as such, no additional changes are being recommended.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommendations in this report.

With the Moka, Japan trip approaching and three of the five Council Members attending, there will be a lack of quorum for the October 8, 2024, City Council meeting.
The City Clerk’s Office requests that the City Council discuss and provide direction to staff to cancel the October 8, 2024, regular meeting of the City Council, Successor Agency, and Housing Authority.
Currently, no items are scheduled for the October 8, 2024, meeting, and staff does not anticipate significant impacts, as items can be rescheduled for the September 24 or October 22, 2024, meetings.
Should time-sensitive business items arise that require immediate action, staff has the ability to call a special meeting.

FROM: City Clerk DISTRICT(S): City-Wide
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Amending Administrative Policy 1.02 Reorganization of City Council and Selection of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem relating to the effective date of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem Selection (Thompson and Fredendall)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Discuss the proposed changes and provide direction to staff.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
Not Applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Consider a change to Administrative Policy 1.02, which establishes the time, term, method, and process for conducting the Glendora City Council reorganization and selecting the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. The proposed change requests that the effective date of the newly appointed Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem change from “upon appointment” to “January 1”. If approved, the City Council reorganization will continue to be conducted in December of each year, but the term for the newly appointed Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem would not begin until January 1.
A redline version of Administrative Policy 1.02 incorporating the requested changes is outlined in Attachment B.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Administrative Policy 1.02, entitled Reorganization of City Council, establishes a policy for reorganizing the Glendora City Council and selecting a Mayor and a Mayor Pro Tem from elected members of the City Council.
Annually, the City Council reorganizes and selects two of its members—one to serve as presiding officer and have the title of Mayor and the other to serve as Mayor Pro Tem and serve in the Mayor's absence.
The policy specifies the time, term, and method of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem selection; the policy was last reviewed and updated on March 22, 2022.
DISCUSSION
Administrative Policy 1.02 is established by resolution and specifies the time, term, method, and process for selecting the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. The City Council reorganization occurs annually in December, has a one-year term of office, and takes effect immediately.
At the request of Mayor Thompson and Mayor Pro Tem Fredendall, a change to the current policy is being presented for City Council consideration. The request asks that the effective date of the newly appointed Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem change from “upon appointment” to “January 1”. If approved, the City Council reorganization will continue to be conducted in December of each year, but the term for the newly appointed Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem would not begin until January 1.
Item #12. Page 1
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 197
For clarity, the proposed change would not impact the swearing-in of new council members. As required by the California Elections Code, the swearing-in of new or re-appointed councilmembers would still occur at the first regularly scheduled meeting after the County of Los Angeles certifies their election. Typically, the certification will occur prior to the City’s first regularly scheduled City Council meeting in December.
A redline version of Administrative Policy 1.02 incorporating the requested changes is outlined in Attachment B.
Next Steps:
Option 1. Approve requested change and adopt a City Council Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY 1.02, CITY COUNCIL
REORGANIZATION AND SELECTION OF MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM RELATING
TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM SELECTION AND RESCIND RESOLUTION CC 2022-11.”
Option 2. Take no action.

2024 BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION SURVEY
Introduction
Acknowledging the essential contribution of the business community to our City’s economic vitality, the City of Glendora previously conducted extensive Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) surveys in 2012 and 2016. These two surveys highlighted that Glendora is a great place to do business. In 2012, 75% of participating businesses rated Glendora as a good to excellent location to conduct business; in 2016, that number increased notable to 82%; in both surveys the majority was found to be satisfied with City services, infrastructure, and the cost of doing business.
To ensure that Glendora’s efforts to provide a business-friendly environment are on track and to solicit business engagement with economic development, a follow up survey was conducted during the months of July through August in 2024. This report outlines the findings of the 2024 BRE survey, reflecting our ongoing commitment to nurturing a flourishing and resilient business environment in Glendora.
Intent
The BRE Survey aimed to achieve the following objectives:
• Demonstrate the City’s pro-business attitude.
• Enhance communication with local businesses.
• Gauge the opinions and satisfaction levels of businesses with the City. • Identify business needs and concerns that the City can address. • Understand the future outlook of businesses.
• Identify opportunities for providing training.
• Develop strategies and actions to support ongoing economic development.
Methodology
BRE Survey was distributed to approximately 1,100 businesses in July 2024. Business owners received the survey via USPS mail, which included a QR code to access the survey, or via email with a Survey Monkey link. This approach provided a convenient and efficient way for respondents to complete the survey online.
The survey, composed of multiple-choice and open-ended questions, aimed to gain insight into businesses’ opinions on conducting business in Glendora, gauge interest in various programs, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and identify how the City could provide assistance.
In a testament to the City’s dedication to this initiative, staff made personal visits to businesses as a final effort to encourage participation and ensure a robust response rate.
The survey period commenced on July 11, 2024, and concluded on August 9, 2024, remaining open for 30 days to ensure respondents had ample time to complete the survey.

Representation
To ensure an accurate assessment of conducting business within the City, the survey was exclusively distributed to businesses physically located within the City limits. Of the 1,048 surveys sent out, 231 were completed and returned over the 30-day period, resulting in a 22% response rate, which exceeds the typical external survey response rate of 10-15%.
The 2024 Survey aimed to gather perspectives and insights from businesses across all geographic areas and industries within the City; the survey was successful in achieving this goal. Participation came from businesses located in the North, South, East, and West of the City, as visually represented in Figure 1 below.
The survey results also reflect a comprehensive representation of the diverse industries within the City as shown in Figure 2. The industry representation graph highlights the variety of business types that responded, with the majority coming from the ‘other’ category, which included specialized skilled industries.
The average responding business has been operating for 22 years. The oldest establishment has been operating since 1903, while the newest has been in business for less than a year. On average, responding businesses employ 12.1 people, including full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees.
However, this figure is skewed by four businesses with over 100 employees. Excluding these, the average employee count is 4.4, highlighting the predominance of small businesses in Glendora.

Findings
Business Opinion of Glendora
According to the survey respondents, conducting business in the City of Glendora is overwhelmingly positive.

Results of the three surveys show that the City continues to improve as evidenced by a notable positive trend in satisfaction levels from the business community, with 75% satisfied or very satisfied in 2012, 82% in 2016 and 84% in 2024 with Glendora as a place to conduct business.

2024 BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION SURVEY
Business Goals
To better understand the needs of our business community and tailor our programs accordingly, the survey asked business owners about their goals for the next five years. An overwhelming majority, 93%, expressed ambitions for growth, whether through increased revenue or business expansion. This strong desire for growth highlights the dynamic and forward-thinking nature of our local businesses. Meanwhile, 4% of respondents indicated that their primary goal is simply to remain operational, suggesting they may be facing challenges that require additional support.
Lastly, 3% of business owners plan to retire within this period, which presents opportunities for new businesses to emerge within our community.
As a follow-up, question number 15 sought to understand how the City can help overcome challenges that may hinder our business community from achieving their goals. The responses we received were diverse and reflect the unique needs of our local businesses. Suggestions ranged from increasing events in the City, access to business grants or loans, enhanced marketing support through our social media channels, and strengthening police presence, among others. Each of these responses provides valuable insight into how we can better serve our business community.
A comprehensive list of all the responses is attached at the end of this report for further review in Exhibit B.
Needs and Opportunities
Many businesses face challenges in managing and marketing their operations or are in constant pursuit of best practices and the latest information. To better understand these needs, we included a question asking which topics would be of interest or benefit if the City were to offer a no-cost workshop. Interestingly, 44% of respondents indicated that such a workshop would not benefit their business. However, 37% expressed interest in learning about marketing strategies, and 34% were keen on social media marketing.
To gain further insights into what might benefit our business community, we also asked what tools, resources, or actions they believe the local government could provide. This open-ended question garnered a variety of responses, including suggestions for tax incentives, increased advertising efforts, and greater exposure on social media for the Glendora community, among other ideas.
These responses offer valuable direction on how the City can better support local businesses in achieving their goals. A comprehensive list of all the responses is attached at the end of this report for further review in Exhibit B.
Conclusions
The findings from the 2024 Business Retention and Expansion Survey indicate that our efforts are yielding positive results.

continued commitment to business-friendly practices. Notably, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, 73% of our business community reported that their operations have either remained stable or improved—a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our local businesses.
Additionally, the Survey sought input on policies that could further enhance the business climate in Glendora. These insights have been compiled and are attached at the end of this report in Exhibit B.
A key takeaway from the Survey is the strong interest in increased City engagement through networking events, with over half of the respondents expressing this desire. Recognizing the importance of such interactions, City representatives have already begun attending networking events, and the positive feedback from the business community has been encouraging. Moving forward, the City will continue to actively participate in these events to foster stronger connections within our business community. Moreover, the contact information of those interested in additional services will be forwarded to the Glendora Chamber of Commerce, ensuring that our businesses have access to the resources they need to thrive.
In conclusion, the 2024 BRE Survey results reflect a promising future for Glendora’s business environment. The City remains committed to supporting our local businesses, adapting to their needs, and fostering a thriving economic landscape.

SUBJECT: Discuss Community Preservation Enforcement
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Receive and file report; and
2. Provide direction to staff for any actionable item.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
• Goal 7: Enhance Community Engagement and Presence (ECEP)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the past year, the City of Glendora has seen an increase in concentration of street vendors and violations, which has caused safety concerns for the vendors, automobile drivers, and pedestrians. Part of State law prohibits a city from banning sidewalk vending but allows regulations based on health, safety, and welfare concerns.
The Community Preservation Division of the Police Department is responsible for enforcing public nuisance statutes and ordinances which have been enacted by state and local legislative bodies. These statutes or ordinances exist to protect the health, safety, and welfare of Glendora community members and to contribute to neighborhood vitality by setting minimum standards for structures and surrounding property and address other matters that impact the quality of life of the community. Community Preservation also participates in community events and provides outreach to educate the public on the various laws, codes, and typical nuisance complaints received before enforcement is needed. The history of Community Preservation and street vendors is being presented to the City Council this evening for consideration and additional direction, if necessary.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
California's Safe Sidewalk Vending Act, also known as Senate Bill (SB) 946, decriminalizes sidewalk vending and allows local authorities to create non-criminal laws to protect public health and safety. The act was signed into law by Governor Brown on September 17, 2018, and went into effect on January 1, 2019. SB 946 defines a sidewalk vendor as someone who sells food or merchandise on a sidewalk or pedestrian path, but does not apply to food trucks or anything with a motor.
SB 946 allows local authorities to:
Adopt non-criminal laws to protect public health, safety, and welfare; Develop guidelines and infrastructure to formalize the street vending industry; and Support and facilitate sidewalk vendors.
SB 946 also prohibits local authorities from regulating sidewalk vendors unless they are consistent with the bill's provisions. For example, local law enforcement cannot fine or regulate street vendors if sidewalk traffic is light and not interfering with other activity in the area.

Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 237
Staff Report Page 2 of 9
In December of 2019, the City of Glendora adopted Ordinance 2046 establishing a permitting and regulatory program consistent with SB 946.
At the June 11, 2024, City Council meeting, Staff was directed to return with an item to discuss Community Preservation/Code Enforcement and the regulations surrounding Sidewalk Vending.
DISCUSSION
Community Preservation has a long history of community development, engagement, education and when necessary, enforcement. Community Preservation works with the community, a variety of City Departments and agencies within Los Angeles County to investigate potential violations of the City Zoning Code, Municipal Code, State Health Codes, and Uniformed Housing Code. Prior to 2001, Community Preservation was known as Code Enforcement and staffed by Code Enforcement Officers. With the change in name also came a change in philosophy. Previously, the primary focus was to gain compliance for code violations. The concept of Community Preservation combines compliance with the various zoning, municipal and building codes with the overall health, safety, and welfare of the community through the building of partnerships. Community Preservation is available during business hours to answer questions from citizens regarding rules and regulations, educate the public, issue parking permits, respond to community requests, and address any potential complaints/violations. Community Preservation Officers also work closely with our Homeless Liaison Officer and the Homeless outreach team to address quality of life issues for our unhoused population within the community. Additionally, Community Preservation has a strong partnership with the Community Development Department, meeting once a month, to address any concerns conveyed by citizens and review upcoming projects. This partnership ensures the needs of the community are being met since several responsibilities of Community Preservation originate or overlap with Community Development.
In addition to their regular duties, Community Preservation Officers are embedded in the community doing outreach to educate. They attend several events throughout the year, including National Night Out, Earth Day, Open House at the Police Department, Neighborhood Watch meetings, National Walk to School Day, and the Community Academy. During those events Community Preservation staff educate the public through interactions and handouts for various regulations, potential health hazards, answer questions, and provide background on Community Preservation duties. Some of the handouts used in the past include information on lead-based paint, parking regulations, alley parking and storage, bulky item storage, flags/pennants for businesses, and common nuisance complaints.
Historical Staffing Levels
Community Preservation has been part of the Police Department since 2006. Prior to 2006, they fell under the Planning and Redevelopment Department, except for a short period during 2005 when the division reported to the Police Department during the transition.
Presently, the Community Preservation division is supervised by the Support Services Supervisor and is staffed with two (2) full-time Community Preservation Officers who work with a variety of City Departments and Agencies within Los Angeles County. They assist or initiate the investigation of violations of the City Zoning, Municipal, State Health, and Uniformed Housing Codes. Community Preservation works closely with the City Attorney and Police Department to prepare legal actions when education and informal mitigation fails to remedy unsafe health and safety violations.
In 2013, Community Preservation had only one officer. When this Community Preservation Officer separated rom the City, two part-time Community Services Officers were deployed for a little over a year until the position could be filled. In 2015 one full-time and one part-time Community Preservation Officer were hired and trained. In 2016 the part-time Community Preservation Officer accepted the role full-time, bringing staffing to two full-time Community Preservation Officers. Community Preservation Officers are typically available to respond to calls Monday through Friday and two weekend days a month, in addition to any special events or details that are scheduled to address specific case needs. Last year, the second full-time Community Preservation Officer accepted another position, and a new Officer was hired to fill the Item #14. Page 2
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 238
Staff Report Page 3 of 9
vacancy. The second full-time Community Preservation Officer has only recently completed field training and is now able to respond to calls on their own.

2014 1 (0 FT city employee, 2 PT Community Service Officers) 2015 1.5 (1 FT city employee, PT Community Service Officer) 2016 to 2025 2 FT city employees
To ensure the community needs are met, our Community Preservation Officers obtain a variety of training to include, being certified California Association of Code Enforcement Officers (CACEO), carry current PC 832 Powers of Arrest certification through State of California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST), First Aid/CPR/AED certification through the American Heart Association, and attend various ongoing trainings to stay up to date on laws and trends, such as officer safety, short-term rentals, and de-escalation tactics.
Reactive vs Proactive
The two Community Preservation Officers, led by the Support Services Supervisor, meet and strategize the priorities of their case load numerous times per week. These priorities are fluid and are constantly reprioritized based on the urgency of given cases, public impact, specific policy initiatives set forth by the City Council, and the overall needs of the City. Calls that are initiated from the community are reactive in nature as Community Preservation is responding to their inquiry, which is in line with the City’s Strategic Plan. Traditionally, based on the desire of the community and City Council, Community Preservation has been mainly reactive in response to violations. Community Preservation has been proactive in cases initiated by Community Preservation, law enforcement, another City Department, or outside partner agency. Cases that are egregious violations, public safety hazards, or specific issues addressing community concerns typically receive an immediate response, pulling Community Preservation from other duties to address the concerns and safety hazards.
Historical Activity
Historically, the number of cases opened, and closed, has fluctuated. Some factors that influence the number of cases opened and when they can be closed, are staffing issues (only one officer available for fieldwork), limited contact due to the pandemic, time constraints of large cases, and community generated complaints. Over the last ten years, Community Preservation has opened 10,472 cases, closed 9,762 cases, conducted 18 inspection warrants, 3 abatement location cases, and 5 receivership cases. Year to date, Community Preservation has opened 424 cases, closing 409 of them. A case is opened once a complaint is received and verified, or proactively observed by officers. Once a correctable violation is established, education and voluntary compliance is sought before a case is considered open. If education and voluntary compliance does not resolve the violation(s), a case is opened, and it is tracked to conclusion. These cases can involve multiple trips to a location, with partnerships of other agencies, City Departments, and the City Attorney to gain compliance. The cases do not include community outreach, citizen contacts, low level violations, or counter assistance that is provided daily and as such, the number of cases is not reflective of the overall workload of Community Preservation.
Community Preservation Process
Community Preservation triages complaints and observations based on public safety, nuisance, volume of calls, public impact, and direction from the City Council. Education and voluntary compliance are the recommended and preferred approach for achieving compliance. Community Preservation constantly Item #14. Page 3
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 239
Staff Report Page 4 of 9
strives to exceed expectations by conducting follow-up with reporting parties within ten business days of the initial call and every 30 days thereafter until the case is resolved.
Properties are inspected due to citizen complaints, referrals from Los Angeles County or outside agencies, internal referrals from Police Officers who observed a possible violation, or as part of a systematic inspection program. Community Preservation Officers check for compliance with the ordinance and attempt to contact property owners, contractors, property managers, or occupants about apparent violations. Depending on the violations, the City Building Inspector may also be involved in the inspections. The goal of the Community Preservation Officer is to gain voluntary compliance; however, it is sometimes necessary to inspect or abate public nuisances or dangerous conditions on private property without the consent of the owner or occupants. Emergency inspections and abatements are also sometimes necessary to protect the public’s health or safety and must be coordinated with the City Prosecuting Attorney’s office.
Achieving and Maintaining Code Compliance
The Community Preservation Division encourages citizens to support their community by being a good neighbor and adhering to City regulations which can prevent the deterioration of our neighborhoods from public nuisance conditions and code violations. The goal is to engage the community members, educate them as to the purpose of Community Preservation and the complaints received/observed, and obtain compliance. In such instances that voluntary compliance is not obtained, a Community Preservation Officer may move on to enforcement through civil, administrative, or criminal proceedings until compliance is achieved. During the enforcement phase, daily inspections are conducted by the code enforcement officers seeking to correct the violations reported within the community. The Community Preservation remedies are as follows:
Voluntary Compliance
As reasonably possible, and when furthering the public’s health, safety or welfare, Community Preservation Officers will seek voluntary compliance from persons who violate the Glendora Municipal Code (GMC) on private property, except in cases of significant or imminent hazard to life or property. “Voluntary compliance” defined as a responsible person that has been advised verbally, and/or in writing, of an alleged violation of applicable codes on private property and has been afforded an opportunity to abate the given violation. This is the first step in contacting and educating citizens. Often community members are unaware that they are violating a code or causing a nuisance by their action/inaction.
Engaging the community members and building trust for a partnership for the betterment of the neighborhoods is the goal for voluntary compliance.
Criminal Citation
Pursuant to GMC 1.18 and in accordance with Penal Code § 836.5, the employees of the city designated by the City Manager through City Council authorization, or his/her designee, as Community Preservation Officer of the City, are authorized to arrest without a warrant a person in violation of any provisions of the GMC or whenever such a Community Preservation Officer has reasonable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has violated that provision in the Community Preservation Officer’s presence. The power of arrest is further given to a Community Preservation Officer for all offenses classified as misdemeanors or infractions (Ordinance 1703 § 1, 1999).
Prosecutorial Discretion
Nothing will be construed as limiting or affecting the prosecutorial discretion of the City Attorney. The City Attorney will look at each case, evaluate it for its legal and factual merits, and act (or not act) in accordance with legal and ethical obligations.
Further Legal Action
Except when doing so would be the most expeditious means of abating the hazard, voluntary compliance will not be a consideration.
A person who creates or maintains a significant or imminent hazard or life or property.
Item #14. Page 4
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 240
Staff Report Page 5 of 9
A person who is a prior offender, or who demonstrates a prior history or pattern of failing to comply with the codes of the city.
A person who commits a violation of applicable codes on public property. A person has stated or indicated his or her refusal to comply with applicable codes to a Community Preservation Officer.
Administrative Citation
Pursuant to GMC Chapter 1.18 the issuance of citations imposing administrative fines may be performed at the discretion of a Community Preservation Officer designated by the City Manager through City Council authorization, or his/her designee. The issuance of a citation to any person constitutes but one remedy of the City to address violations of the code by any person and obtain immediate compliance. By adoption of this chapter, the City does not intend to limit its authority to employ any other remedy, civil or criminal, to address any violation of this code by any person, which the City may otherwise pursue. All Administrative Citations shall adhere with the provisions outlined in GMC Chapter 1.18.
When education and voluntary compliance are not achieved, Community Preservation Officers will begin the Administrative Citation Procedure. Each step still attempts to educate and engage the community member to gain compliance at the lowest possible level and allows time for the violations to be corrected.
The process is as follows:
Correspondence:
Notice of Violations are standard form letters that are sent out for municipal code violations. In general, an initial Notice of Violation, second Notice of Violation, and citation letter is the progression for most code cases.
Initial Notice of Violation:
The first Notice of Violation is a standard form used to open communication and notify property owners and/or tenants of existing conditions on property that appear to be in violation of the code.
This initial Notice of Violation for residential properties is sent to the property owner as listed on the tax roll. A copy may also be sent to the resident on-site if the property owner is an absentee owner.
For commercial properties, the first letter is sent to the business owner or manager, with a copy of the letter also sent to the property owner. The letter describes in detail conditions that appear to be violations. The letter requests voluntary correction of the conditions listed and provides a specific period for the abatement.
Second Notice of Violation:
The second Notice of Violation is used to notify the property owner that the conditions mentioned in the first letter have not been corrected. The second Notice of Violation requests voluntary compliance and gives a specific timeline for correction of the violation(s). The timeline for correction of each violation may be determined by the Community Preservation Officer’s discretion.
Correction time frames are based on how long it would reasonably take to correct the violation, amount of time since the first notice, provisions in the GMC, and best practices. The letter must issue a warning that if the nuisance is not abated, it will result in an administrative citation or referral to the City Attorney, to legally move to the next step in the case progression.
Citation Letter:
If compliance is not gained by the second Notice of Violation in the period prescribed by the Community Preservation Officer, an Administrative Citation will be issued. The citation will be accompanied by a letter describing the reason for the citation, method of paying for the citation, and means to dispute the citation.
Administrative Citations:
Administrative Citations are issued when voluntary compliance is not met. The process for writing the citation is clearly defined in Section 1.18 of the GMC. The citation shall be a written document Item #14. Page 5
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 241
Staff Report Page 6 of 9
and shall describe in reasonable detail the violation so that the responsible party may properly correct it. The citation shall provide a reasonable time for correction, given the circumstances of the violation. The Community Preservation Officer shall attempt to issue the citation to the responsible party at the site of any violation and obtain the signature of the responsible party, if possible.
Failure, or refusal of the responsible party, to sign the citation shall not affect the validity of the citation. If the responsible party is not located, citations will be mailed to the property owner via both certified and regular mail.
The City utilizes a third-party vendor, Data Ticket, to collect and enforce payment on administrative citations. For those cases where voluntary compliance is not obtained, they can be labor intensive for the Community Preservation Officers monitoring the violation, letters, citations, administrative hearings, and communicating with the City Attorney. The Community Preservation Officer shall enter the citation amount into Data Ticket, update the case file, and ensure that the citation is processed. If the fine is contested Data Ticket will assign a Hearing Officer and oversee an administrative hearing. If the fine is not paid, Data Ticket will issue another letter notifying the owner that a late fee is being added to the fine, and the issue may be forwarded to collections or to the City Attorney.
Police Officers issue Administrative Citations when they encounter violations of the Municipal Code.
Examples of the types of citations issued by Police Officers are unauthorized parking, loud music or gathering, vending without a permit, storage of bulk items on public property, camping violations, solicitors, park hours, and open containers. The City of Glendora also contracts with Intercon for parking enforcement for Glendora Municipal Code and vehicle code violations. The Parking Enforcement Officers supplement officers by issuing citations for overnight parking violations, time limit parking, district parking, and any non-moving vehicle code violations observed.
HISTORY OF STREET VENDORS, LEGISLATIVE AND ORDINANCE CHANGES In 2018, the Governor signed SB 946, which limits a city’s ability to regulate sidewalk vending unless a city adopts regulations consistent with the law. Pursuant to SB 946, State law prohibits a city from banning sidewalk vending but allows regulations based on health, safety and welfare concerns. The legislation defines “sidewalk vendor” as a person who sells food or merchandise on a public sidewalk or other pedestrian path. Sidewalk vending includes selling from mobile devices such as a cart or wagon, and from stationary devices including a stand or display case. With the adoption of SB 946, the State decriminalized sidewalk vending with the intent to promote economic opportunities for low-income and immigrant communities. SB 946 became effective on January 1, 2019.
In December of 2019, the City of Glendora adopted Ordinance No. 2046 establishing a permitting and regulatory program consistent with SB 946. Ordinance No. 2046 added a new chapter to the Glendora Municipal Code (GMC 10.77).
GMC 10.77 – Includes regulations for sidewalk vendors selling food and other merchandise on a public sidewalk. The regulations include a process for permitting and operating standards. Stationary and Roaming Vendors – Stationary vendor means a vendor operating from a fixed location. Roaming vendor means a vendor who operates by travelling from place to place and stops only to complete a transaction.
Permit Application Process and Fee (10.77.030) – The permit application requires vendor identification, description of vending devices, items offered for sale, and proof of approvals from LA County Department of Public Health where food is sold. Each individual vendor must have their own permit. Vendors are issued a permit that must be displayed on the vending device or the vendor. The permit is issued for one year and may be renewed. The fee is $275 for a new permit and $165 for renewals.
Operating Requirements (10.77.040) – Standards are intended to ensure that sidewalk vendors operate safely and allow sidewalks to be used by pedestrians. The code limits the size of sidewalk vending devices, hours of operation, vending devices and merchandise shall not be left Item #14. Page 6
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 242
Staff Report Page 7 of 9
unattended, compliance with Los Angeles County permitting for sale of food, and other operating standards.
Prohibited Activities and Locations (10.77.040-050) – SB 946 requires that prohibited activities be related to the protection of health, safety and welfare concerns. Under the ordinance, sidewalk vendors may not vend within 15 feet of a red curb, driveway, or street corner; restrict access under the Americans with Disabilities Act; or sell directly to persons in vehicles. Roaming vendors may sell in residential neighborhoods, but stationary vendors with a stand are prohibited in areas that are zoned exclusively residential.
Penalties (10.77.070) – Penalties and fines that the City may impose for violations of sidewalk vendor regulations are explicit in SB 946. Additionally, the law contains provisions for violators to appeal fines based on “ability-to-pay” determinations. The law allows larger fines for operating without a sidewalk vendor’s permit.
As of September 5, 2024, there are nine active sidewalk vendor permits in the City. All nine permitted vendors are approved to sell flowers from stationary vending devices. Permit applications include photos showing vending devices consisting of two to three buckets containing flowers. Vendors are regularly observed selling in areas along Grand Avenue near the Oakdale Cemetery. Automobiles carrying cemetery visitors and funeral attendees are the primary customers for sidewalk vendors.
The concentration of vendors and violations have caused safety concerns for vendors, automobile drivers, and pedestrians. Below is a list of frequent violations:
Vending within 15 feet of a driveway
Vending within a red curb zone
Vending to customers in vehicles
Attempting to conduct transactions with persons in moving or illegally parked vehicles Exceeding the vending device size requirements
Setting up merchandise displays not approved as part of a sidewalk vendor permit Additionally, vendors on Grand Avenue are concentrated near vehicle entries to the cemetery.
Competition for space has led to arguments and occasional physical altercations among the vendors.
Enforcement
Community Preservation Officers seek to educate any vendor within the City of Glendora prior to needing to issue a citation. When a vendor is observed or a call of service is received, Community Preservation Officers contact the vendor, identify them, advise the vendor of the Glendora Municipal Code, necessary permits, and enforcement actions that will be taken if they do not comply. If the vendor fails to comply an Administrative Citation is issued. Any other violations of the State Law witnessed are addressed and the violators are issued citations for the appropriate penal, business, or vehicle code. We have seen a marked increase in vending over the last two years.
From January 1, 2024, to September 5, 2024, Community Preservation and Glendora Police Officers responded to approximately 227 calls of vendors selling a variety of goods from flowers, fruit, t-shirts, political memorabilia, and cooked food items. This is approximately a 310% increase from the 2023 calls for service for vendors. Many of the contacts have been with flower vendors and have generated the most calls from the community. Of the 227 calls, 81 of those were direct observations by Community Preservation or Glendora Police Officers. An additional 50 calls were generated from observations of City Staff. In response to these calls, Community Preservation and Glendora Police Officers have conducted several operations to educate and gain vendor compliance. The focus has been to contact each vendor, ensure they are permitted, and that they are following the Glendora Municipal Code when vending. Those who were already previously contacted and found to be vending without permits are issued Administrative Citations. Those who have never been contacted are advised to immediately stop vending until permits are obtained. If they continue to vend after the advisal, officers issue Administrative Citations.

Since the passage of SB 946, the City of Glendora has seen an increase in street vendor calls for service.
The majority of those contacted do not have street vendor permits and are advised to stop vending until the permit is obtained.

After reviewing the year-to-date statistics, we found that the calls for street vending tend to be localized around Oakdale Cemetery and the Glendora Marketplace. The most common items are flowers along the Grand corridor and fresh fruit vending near Glendora Marketplace.
Calls for Service Area of Call
114 Grand Corridor/Oakdale Cemetery
59 Glendora Marketplace/Wal-Mart
54 All Other Areas of City
The increase in the calls for street vendors has impacted staff. Currently we do not have a certified bilingual Spanish Community Preservation Officer and frequently need to utilize a certified bilingual Spanish Police Officer to liaison when contacting vendors within the city since many vendor calls require an educational component that takes more time than a typical call and require more follow-up contacts for ongoing compliance issues. These calls for service have been labor and time intensive, requiring Community Preservation and Police Officer presence to adequately resolve the compliant or gain compliance, keeping the officers from other duties. If a call is received over the weekend, when no Community Preservation Officers are available, Police Officers are dispatched to make contact and ensure compliance. We have also received complaints from the vendors, arguing or physically fighting over locations. These types of calls require a police response to ensure the safety of the public and those involved.
While vendors persistently operate in conflict with regulations, and administrative fines are not an effective deterrent, obtaining compliance is difficult. The City may issue citations, but fines are limited under state law and vendors may request a waiver based on an “ability-to-pay.” State law limits enforcement by cities because SB 946 is intended to provide economic opportunities to low-income and immigrant communities.
Considering the safety and welfare concerns, staff has reviewed its sidewalk vendor ordinance and the regulations of several other cities. This review surveyed codes of nearby cities including Azusa, Covina and Claremont, and others including Los Angeles and San Diego. Staff finds that Glendora’s regulatory structure is comparable with some differences in prohibited activities, application requirements, vending device sizes, and insurance/liability requirements.
Staff has developed the following modifications that could be incorporated to the Glendora Municipal Code based on City Council direction.
Item #14. Page 8
Meeting Date: 9/10/2024 / Packet Page #: 244
Staff Report Page 9 of 9
Permit applications
o Require a map or drawing of locations if a stationary vendor or route of travel if a roaming vendor.
o Request days and hours of operation.
o Insurance requirements for sidewalk vendors.
Operating standards
o Display food and merchandise no less than two feet and not more than five feet off the ground.
o Vendors shall not occupy a space exceeding four feet in length and three feet in width including all vending devices and equipment but excluding the space occupied by the vendor.
o One city-approved umbrella or shade structure if attached to a vending device not exceeding eight feet high from the ground.
Prohibited locations
o No vending within 25’ of yellow or red curb zone, driveway, street corner, transit stop. o No vending within 50’ of another vendor.
o No vending within 100’ of a church, school, or cemetery. Impoundment of vendor equipment and items
o Allow the City to impound vending carts, food and equipment used in violation of City regulations.
o Allow the City to immediately dispose of impounded items that are perishable and/or cannot be safely stored.
Staff requests that the City Council consider directing staff to prepare an ordinance incorporating the modifications listed above. The proposed language is intended to address safety concerns related to vendor activities, pedestrians, and automobiles. While these additions would in theory provide greater distances and separation between vendors and dangerous situations, it does not solve the primary challenge of enforcement and compliance.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommendations in this report. Depending on the direction from the City Council, staff will provide and updated fiscal impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
There are no CEQA impacts associated with the recommendations in this report.
