RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE TREASURER'S REPORT FOR AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2024

SUMMARY
The attached Treasurer’s Reports provide balances for the months of August and September 2024. During this period, the City investments were in compliance with the Investment Policy and the City had sufficient cash reserves to meet the expenditure requirement for operations for the next six (6) months.

The City maintains checking accounts for general operations, payroll, and the housing account. In addition, we maintain an investment account with LAIF. Funds are also retained by the Bank of New York Mellon for the Successor Agency Bond payments. The general operating account and LAIF represent cash transactions for multiple funds (Pooled Cash) with the amount available for each fund tracked in the general ledger. Interest earned through LAIF is allocated to each fund based on the balance shown in the general ledger. The attached detail report provides balances by Fund as of September 2024.

BY: Elise McCaleb, Community Development Director
Tonya Pace, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation to receive and file the Beautification Program, updated report for the month of September, 2024.

SUMMARY
The City of Hawaiian Gardens created a City Beautification Program for exterior improvements for single-family, duplex, and mobile homes, and interior improvements for condominiums. The Program is currently funded through the Hawaiian Gardens General Fund. This report is an update on General Fund expenditures.

The intent of the Program is to improve the overall appearance of the City of Hawaiian Gardens’ neighborhoods, increase property values, and increase community pride. The improvements on the homes must be deemed beneficial to the overall exterior appearance of the property and address deteriorated and unsightly conditions visible from the street. Financial assistance up to a maximum of $10,000 is provided to property owners and up to $25,000 for substandard cases through a grant. There is also a $2,500 grant available for emergency cases.

Below is the status on new applications received or in process during the month of September, 2024.

SUMMARY
The Code Enforcement Division, as part of the Community Development Department, is responsible for enhancing the quality of life for the residents of the City by providing effective public service in the enforcement of Building, Business License, Public Nuisance, and Zoning Ordinances.

The properties located at 12300 E. Carson Street and 22021 Norwalk Boulevard are in violation of Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code Sections 16.14.010, as both properties have overgrown weeds, vegetation, and other combustible materials that are deemed dangerous or injurious to neighboring property or welfare of residents in the vicinity.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The City enforces the municipal code, which has standards for property maintenance, and conditions to protect the citizens and public from the health and safety hazards associated with public nuisances.
22021 Norwalk Boulevard
The property located at 22021 Norwalk Boulevard is a vacant lot with overgrown vegetation, 4 to 5 feet high in some places. Trash is also present on the site. There is a historical record of code enforcement violations at this site and then beginning in August 2023 and continuing until now.

In addition, the Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code (HGMC) requires that a vacant lot be fenced. This lot is not fenced. Code Enforcement will address this issue separately as outlined in HGMC
§16.12.020.
12300 E. Carson Street
The property located at 12300 Carson Street consists of a partially constructed building which was slated for a 7-11 gas station and convenience store. There are violations pertaining to graffiti, trash, debris, dirt and rubbish. It is an attractive nuisance for transients. There are violations beginning in August 2023 and continuing until now.

There is a fence on this property which is in disrepair and has not been properly anchored.

Code Enforcement will address this issue separately as outlined in HGMC §16.12.020.

Abatement Process
To abate the property nuisances, HGMC §16.14.010 requires that first the City Council adopt a resolution which identifies the property as being a nuisance and authorizes the City Manager to give a notice of abatement. After passage of the resolution, the City is required to post notices and must wait at least five (5) days for any objections. Then, the City Council is required to hold another public hearing and issue a final order. The City is required to serve the order to the property owner and wait 15 days to see if the property owner will comply. If the property owner does not comply, then the City will get a warrant to abate.

Fencing
Pursuant to HGMC §16.12.02, vacant lots must be fenced with a chain link fence. The City is required to provide the property owner a 30 days’ notice to install a fence. If the owner does not install a fence, then a hearing needs to be set before the City Council.

The City Council must determine that there is a violation that requires abatement and a timeframe to comply. If the property owner does not comply, then the City can install a fence at the expense of the property owner.

SUMMARY

On June 9, 2020, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a standard template transfer agreement establishing terms and conditions for the SCWP funds to municipalities.

On August 11, 2020, the City of Hawaiian Gardens approved and entered into a transfer agreement with Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) establishing terms and conditions for the SCWP funds to the City of Hawaiian Gardens.

(2) The district has received the Municipality's Annual Plan for that Fiscal Year, and (3) The municipality has complied with the audit requirements of Section B-6 of Exhibit B.

EXHIBIT C – NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) BEST MANAGEMENT

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

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

Municipalities are to include in each Annual Progress/Expenditure Report whether and how their project achieves a good, better, or best for each of the 6 NBS methods in accordance with the guidance below. Additionally, Annual Progress/ Expenditure Reports should include discussion on any considerations taken to maximize the class within each method. If at least 3 methods score within a single class, the overall project can be characterized as that class. Municipalities must attach a copy of the matrix for each project BEST

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #C1
DATE: October 23, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Megan Giribaldi, City Attorney
Elise McCaleb, Community Development Director
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation to introduce Ordinance No. 2024-619, amending Chapter 6.28 of the Municipal Code.

SUMMARY
The purpose of this staff report is to introduce for consideration an Ordinance (Attachment 1) to update Chapter 6.28 (Fireworks) of the Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code. The proposed updates to Chapter 6.28 more clearly define prohibited activities and allowed firework usage periods, implement stricter rules regarding the possession and use of fireworks by minors, and increase the fine amounts for violations of this Chapter for the purpose of protecting public health and safety within the City.

BACKGROUND
Each year, residents and visitors celebrate the July 4th holiday by discharging fireworks.

However, the illegal discharge of fireworks has become significant enough that the Sheriff’s Department receives complaints about illegal firework use throughout the year.

In addition to discharging legally sold fireworks, a significant number of residents, visitors, adults, and minors discharge dangerous illegal fireworks. Furthermore, the significant fire hazards posed by illegal firework use, compounded by dry climatic conditions, create an ongoing threat to the public’s health, safety, and welfare.

Currently, fines associated with illegal firework use are the same as the fines associated with other non-building code violations of the Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code (“Municipal Code”) and have proven to not be an effective deterrent. In response to the aforementioned concerns, the City has determined that the public health, safety, and welfare will be served by (1) increasing the fines associated with illegal firework use, (2) enhancing existing regulations to clearly define prohibited activities and allowed firework Agenda Item #C1
October 23, 2024

Page 2 ends

usage periods, and (3) implementing stricter rules regarding the possession and use of fireworks by minors. Other clean-up amendments are proposed to clarify applicable definitions and the permit requirements for the sale and operation of fireworks stands.

Existing Regulations
The State of California has a robust statutory regime dealing with fireworks. Found in Health and Safety Code Sections 12500 et seq., the State posits, among other things, restrictions on the use of fireworks (including both “safe and sane”1 and “dangerous fireworks”2), permitting system for firework displays, and criminal penalties for violating the various Health and Safety Code provisions. More pertinent to this item is California Health and Safety Code Section 12541, which specifically authorizes cities to establish its own local fireworks prohibitions and regulations. For the most part, violations of the State’s Health and Safety Code are subject to misdemeanor prosecution, and it is these types of violations that the Sheriff’s Police Department focuses its attention on during high firework periods like the 4th of July.

The City previously adopted the Los Angeles County Fire Code via Chapter 15.20 of the Municipal Code. Section 5601.1.3 of the Los Angeles County Fire Code prohibits the possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling and use of fireworks with an exception for “safe and sane fireworks” that are explicitly allowed by local ordinance. Building on this authority, Section 6.28.010 of the Municipal Code allows the sale and discharge of safe and sane fireworks only from 12:00 p.m. on July 1 through July 4 at 9:00 p.m. annually. Further, the City’s Municipal Code allows for the application and required findings for the issuance of a permit to set up and operate a fireworks stand in the City to sell safe and sane fireworks. The decision on any application is one issued by staff with an appeal right to the City Council. The sale and offering of dangerous fireworks are strictly prohibited at all times.

Existing Penalties
Chapter 1.12 establishes the classification of offenses of the Municipal Code. By default, violations of the Code are treated as a misdemeanor unless such violation is explicitly designated as an infraction. Relatedly, Chapter 1.13 establishes the amounts of administrative fines for violations of the Municipal Code. Currently, misdemeanors for the use of illegal fireworks are penalized with fines set at $1,000 per violation. • $1,000 per violation.
1 “Safe and sane fireworks” are defined §12529 of the California Health and Safety Code and include small items such as fountains, spinners, and snap caps. The Office of the California State Fire Marshal puts a list on its website of fireworks that qualify based on general and specific standards for design, construction, performance, and labeling for such fireworks. 2 “Dangerous fireworks” generally means fireworks that contain hazardous materials or exhibit explosive, projectile, or unpredictable behavior. This includes firecrackers, skyrockets, Roman candles, large sparklers, and other items deemed unsafe by the State Fire Marshal under Health and Safety Code § 12505.

Agenda Item #C1

Proposed Amendments
To address the ongoing safety concerns associated with fireworks use and improve the enforcement of existing regulations, this Ordinance introduces new provisions and clarifies existing ones. The proposed changes aim to enhance public safety by establishing stricter penalties for violations and providing clearer guidance for both residents and law enforcement officials.

This Ordinance proposes higher administrative fines for the illegal possession, transportation, purchase, sale, offer to purchase or sell, giving, receipt, ignition, discharge, or otherwise prohibited use of fireworks. If the Ordinance is adopted, administrative fines for violations of Chapter 6.28 will be as follows:
• A fine of $2,000 for a first offense;
• A fine of $3,000 for a second offense within one year from the initial offense; • A fine of $4,500 for a third offense within one year from the initial offense.

Other amendments clarify that the City may pursue additional legal actions beyond administrative citations, including imposing civil penalties as determined by City Council resolution or ordinance, and confirming that the remedies provided in this Chapter 6.28 are not exhaustive.

The proposed Ordinance also strengthens and clarifies existing restrictions to facilitate enforcement of this Chapter. Whereas the Municipal Code currently allows the discharge of safe and sane fireworks at any time during the entire period from July 1 to July 4, the updated Ordinance specifies that safe and sane fireworks may only be discharged between 12:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. each day during this period. Furthermore, the Ordinance clarifies and broadens the existing prohibition against the sale and offering of fireworks not considered safe and sane to prohibit individuals from possessing, transporting, purchasing, selling, offering to purchase or sell, giving, receiving, igniting, setting off, discharging, or otherwise using any fireworks not classified as safe and sane at any time within the City.

To further protect the safety of minors, the Ordinance explicitly prohibits any child under the age of 16 from possessing, transporting, purchasing, selling, offering to purchase or sell, giving, receiving, igniting, setting off, discharging, or otherwise using safe and sane fireworks within the City, except under the direct supervision of a parent, legal guardian, or another adult acting in loco parentis. Additional clean-up amendments to Chapter 6.28 clarify that permits for the sale of fireworks must be obtained directly from the City by those engaging in such sales.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, as it is not a “project” and has no potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment because the amendments only enhance and clarify the existing regulatory framework for fireworks without introducing new environmental risks. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378(a).) Even if the Ordinance is considered a “project” subject to CEQA, it is categorically exempt because there is no possibility that this Ordinance or its implementation would have a significant negative effect on the environment for the same reasons above. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3).) Staff is further directed to file a Notice of Exemption for this Ordinance with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines.

It is also our understanding the City is seeking environmental services for the rehabilitation of the existing Ferguson Elementary School baseball field located at Ferguson Elementary School, 22215 Elaine Avenue (the Ferguson Elementary School Turf Improvement Project). Specifically, the Project would involve replacing existing turf field and baseball diamond with artificial turf field with markings for 3 soccer fields, 1 flag football field, and new soccer goals.

The environmental documentation completed for each project would be prepared in accordance with HUD’s regulations for the implementation of NEPA at Title 24, Part 58 of the Code of Federal Regulations (24 CFR 58).

Michael Baker has established sound practices and standard procedures to maintain a high level of accuracy and productivity. Our staff possesses over 30 years of in grant management and environmental services experience. Further, our staff regularly attends workshops and training sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the State to remain current with changing regulations, principles, and procedures. Michael Baker staff members are well qualified to provide the services being requested by the City of Hawaiian Gardens based on their educational background, career training, and work experience.

Scope of Work
For budgetary purposes, our proposal assumes that the proposed projects would be considered categorically excluded activities per 24 CFR 58.35(a). For the Ferguson Elementary School Turf Improvement Project, we anticipate that the following categorical exclusion for HUD-funded projects may apply to the Project:
24 CFR 58.35(a)(1): Acquisition, repair, improvement, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of public facilities and improvements (other than buildings) when the facilities and improvements are in place and will be retained in the same use without 3760 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 270 • Long Beach, CA 90806 • (562) 200-7177 2 | Page change in size or capacity of more than 20 percent.

While categorically excluded activities do not require an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact, for categorically excluded activities the Responsible Entity (i.e., the City) is required to demonstrate compliance with the Federal environmental laws and authorities listed at 24 CFR 58.6 and 24 CFR 58.5 by completing HUD’s Categorical Exclusion subject to 24 CFR 58.5 statutory checklist (CEST checklist).

Our proposed scope of work to prepare and process a CEST checklist for each project consists of the tasks outlined below.

A. General Grant, Technical Assistance, and Set-Up

1. Assist the City of Hawaiian Gardens with the application packet for the receipt of grant funds.

2. Prepare the environmental review for the project.

3. Assist with oversight including administration, reporting and billing review.

4. Provide technical assistance to staff with overall program administration.

5. Provide Labor Compliance services for the project.

B. Environmental Services

1. Ferguson Elementary School Turf Improvement Project CEST Task 1a: Section 106 National Historic Preservation Act Compliance: Cultural Resources Identification Study
Michael Baker will complete the cultural resources identification and evaluation study for the Property located at 22215 Elaine Avenue, Hawaiian Gardens, CA 90716 required to address the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).

1. Delineate the area of potential effects (APE);

2. Conduct a records search with the South Central Coastal Information Center with a 1/2 mile search radius to identify previous cultural resources reports and records of the APE and surrounding area;

3. Conduct a literature and historic map review to identify cultural resources within the APE;

4. Conduct a file search with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) regarding sacred lands. We will contact the NAHC in Sacramento for a review of the Sacred Lands File to determine if the APE contains any known sacred lands, and a list of Native American contacts who may have concerns about the project within the APE. Conduct a file search of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Tribal Directory Assessment Tool (TDAT) to obtain a list of federally recognized Native American tribes that HUD has identified for consultation outreach.

5. Assist with tribal consultation requirements by drafting and sending a project notification letter on City letterhead to non-federally recognized tribes identified on the NAHC contact list and consultation request letters to the federally recognized tribes identified on the NAHC Contact list and the HUD 3760 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 270 • Long Beach, CA 90806 • (562) 200-7177 3 | Page TDAT. We will follow up on consultation request letters with an email and/or phone call to the tribes. No meetings with tribes have been scoped for this project.

6. Conduct an archaeological and built environment survey of the APE;

7. Contact one historical society or preservation organization for information or concerns for historic properties in the APE;

8. Evaluate the Ferguson Elementary School grounds, consisting of thirteen existing structures and athletic field, located within the project site at 22215 Elaine Avenue for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; and

9. Complete an archaeological sensitivity and effects analysis to determine if the project may adversely affect a historic property.

The intent of the above-mentioned historic property identification efforts is to determine if there are historic properties, as defined in (36 CFR 800.16(1)) within Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, within the area of potential effects. The findings of the historic property identification efforts will be summarized in a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Memo Report that can be appended to the environmental document.

This scope of work assumes that archaeological resources do not require evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places. If historic properties are identified within the APE, additional studies may be required. Michael Baker will complete a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Memo Report describing the methods and results of the cultural resources identification efforts described above. Further, we will draft an Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) consultation letter describing the cultural resources identification efforts and finding of effect. The letter can be submitted to the OHP by the City to receive concurrence on the finding of effect.

Deliverables: Michael Baker will provide a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Memo Report draft and an Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) consultation letter, which will be transmitted to the City electronically.

Task 1b: CEST Checklist
Michael Baker will prepare a Categorical Exclusion Statutory Checklist (CEST checklist) for the City. The content of the CEST checklist will be consistent with HUD’s recommended format for conducting CEST checklists pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58. The analysis will include all required determinations and compliance documentation for the laws and authorities at 24 CFR parts 50.4, 58.6, and 58.5. The following are the primary compliance factors of the CEST checklist: Airport Hazards, Coastal Barrier Resources, Flood Insurance, Clean Air, Coastal Zone Management, Contamination and Toxic Substances, Endangered Species, Explosive and Flammable Hazards, Farmlands Protection, Floodplain Management, Historic Preservation, Noise Abatement and Control, Sole Source Aquifers, Wetlands Protection, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and 3760 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 270 • Long Beach, CA 90806 • (562) 200-7177 4 | Page Environmental Justice. The CEST checklist will also include several HUD-required summary sections, including mitigation measures, funding breakdown, and summary of findings and conclusions.

Please note that this scope of work assumes that no mitigation or other compliance steps (i.e., additional reports, studies, consultations, permits, or agreements) would be required. Additionally, we assume that no Project-related improvements would take place within a 100-year or 500-year floodplain and, thus, would not be subject to HUD’s 8-step decision making process. As such, this proposal assumes that the project would “convert to exempt” and publishing a Notice of Intent/Request for the Release of Funds (NOI/RROF) would not be necessary. Upon receipt of additional project information and/or other research as part of completing the CEST checklist detailed above, if sensitive resources or environmental concerns are identified that would require more detailed environmental analysis (i.e., additional reports/assessments, technical studies or regulatory agency permits) than included herein, we will notify the City immediately and supplemental services/work effort may be required.

This scope of work assumes that Michael Baker will prepare an administrative draft CEST checklist for review by the City. Michael Baker will address the City’s comments on the administrative draft CEST checklist and will submit a proofcheck draft of the CEST checklist for the City’s final review. Following the final review by the City, we will provide the final public draft and related attachments, which will be shared with the City electronically.

Deliverables: Michael Baker will prepare one administrative draft and one final draft of the CEST checklist, which will be provided to the City electronically, along with all necessary attachments, appendices, consultation documentation, citations, and figures that would constitute the Environmental Review Record (ERR) per 24 CFR

58.38. 2. Project Coordination and Meetings
Michael Baker’s project manager will attend a virtual kickoff meeting with City staff to review project plans, discuss the project’s key environmental considerations, solidify the project schedule, and discuss the action plan for achieving that schedule. Once the project is initiated, Michael Baker’s project manager will be available to City staff over the course of the assignment to discuss the projects (via telephone, email, or virtual format), coordinate the schedule of the proposed CEST checklists, and exchange information. In addition to the kickoff meeting, coordination meetings may be conducted to review the City’s comments on administrative draft documents. We have budgeted for one coordination meeting (in addition to the kickoff meeting) with City staff. Additional management activities include monitoring the project schedule and budget, ensuring critical timeline milestones are met, and providing quality control review of all completed work products.

Project Team
3760 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 270 • Long Beach, CA 90806 • (562) 200-7177 5 | Page Micheal Neal, will serve as Project Advisor in this assignment.

Assumptions
While the scope of work presented above is for the CEST, Michael Baker makes no assurances regarding the appropriate NEPA documentation for the project. Should the environmental analysis reveal that an environmental assessment is the appropriate NEPA document for the project, Michael Baker would be available to prepare the document(s) per the mutual agreement of the City and Michael Baker.

Michael Baker has included one City review of administrative draft versions of all documents included in our scope of work, as well as one proof-check draft version of the CEST checklists. Should multiple reviews beyond those included in our scope of work be requested by the City, additional Michael Baker staff time may be necessary beyond the established budget. Should such a scenario arise, we would work with the City to seek mutually agreeable budget augmentation.

Michael Baker assumes that the project description will not substantively change during the assignment. Should the project description change during the course of the work, additional Michael Baker staff time may be necessary beyond the established budget to revise/update the document and the analysis. Should such a scenario arise, we would work with the City to seek mutually agreeable budget augmentation.

We believe that the services being offered by Michael Baker will fulfill the City’s needs in an efficient, and cost-effective manner. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to continuing to assist the City of Hawaiian Gardens. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact Micheal Neal, at (909) 261-2770, or [email protected].

RE: Proposal for Grant and Technical Assistance of NEPA Documentation for CPF B-24-CP-CA-0354 FY 2024
Dear Mr. Jimenez,
Michael Baker International (Michael Baker) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide Grant and Technical Assistance to the City of Hawaiian Garden’s (City) Community Services Department for Grant Number B-24-CP-CA-0354. It is our understanding the City seeks support with the preparation of the Economic Development Initiative grant for the purpose of Community Project Funding referred to as the EDI grant which is a congressionally-directed grant, in addition to providing seeks ongoing/on call Services as grant opportunities arise. It is also our understanding the City is seeking environmental services for the rehabilitation of the the C. Robert Lee Activity Center, located at 21815 Pioneer Boulevard (C. Robert Lee Rehabilitation Project). Specifically, this Project would involve interior improvements (including painting interior walls, improving lighting, resurfacing the indoor basketball gymnasium), as well as outdoor improvements to the structure’s roof.

Scope of Work
For budgetary purposes, our proposal assumes that the proposed projects would be considered categorically excluded activities per 24 CFR 58.35(a). For the C. Robert Lee Rehabilitation Project, we anticipate that the following categorical exclusion for HUD-funded projects may apply to the Project:
24 CFR 58.35(a)(3): Rehabilitation of buildings and improvements when the following conditions are met:
(iii) In the case of non-residential structures, including commercial, industrial, and public buildings:
3760 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 270 • Long Beach, CA 90806 • (562) 200-7177 2 | Page (A) The facilities and improvements are in place and will not be changed in size or capacity by more than 20 percent; and
(B) The activity does not involve a change in land use, such as from nonresidential to residential, commercial to industrial, or from one industrial use to another. While categorically excluded activities do not require an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact, for categorically excluded activities the Responsible Entity (i.e., the City) is required to demonstrate compliance with the Federal environmental laws and authorities listed at 24 CFR 58.6 and 24 CFR 58.5 by completing HUD’s Categorical Exclusion subject to 24 CFR 58.5 statutory checklist (CEST checklist).

Our proposed scope of work to prepare and process a CEST checklist for each project consists of the tasks outlined below.

A. General Grant, Technical Assistance, and Set-Up

1. Assist the City of Hawaiian Gardens with the application packet for the receipt of grant funds.

2. Prepare the environmental review for the project.

3. Assist with oversight including administration, reporting and billing review.

4. Provide technical assistance to staff with overall program administration.

5. Provide Labor Compliance services for the project.

B. Environmental Services

1. Michael Baker will prepare a Categorical Exclusion Statutory Checklist (CEST checklist) for the City. The content of the CEST checklist will be consistent with HUD’s recommended format for conducting CEST checklists pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58. The analysis will include all required determinations and compliance documentation for the laws and authorities at 24 CFR parts 50.4, 58.6, and 58.5. The following are the primary compliance factors of the CEST checklist: Airport Hazards, Coastal Barrier Resources, Flood Insurance, Clean Air, Coastal Zone Management, Contamination and Toxic Substances, Endangered Species, Explosive and Flammable Hazards, Farmlands Protection, Floodplain Management, Historic Preservation, Noise Abatement and Control, Sole Source Aquifers, Wetlands Protection, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and Environmental Justice. The CEST checklist will also include several HUD-required summary sections, including mitigation measures, funding breakdown, and summary of findings and conclusions.

Please note that this scope of work assumes that no mitigation or other compliance steps (i.e., additional reports, studies, consultations, permits, or agreements) would be required. Specifically, we assume that there would not be any ground disturbance associated with the proposed improvements, which would be limited to the exterior and the interior of the existing structure. Further, we understand that the structure is less than 50 years old and would not require evaluation per Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Since there would be no ground disturbance, we 3760 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 270 • Long Beach, CA 90806 • (562) 200-7177 3 | Page assume that Tribal consultation would not be required and that the Project would have no potential to cause effects to a historic resource per 36 CFR 800.3.

Additionally, we assume that no Project-related improvements would take place within a 100-year or 500-year floodplain and, thus, would not be subject to HUD’s 8- step decision making process.

Considering the assumptions above, we anticipate that the project would “convert to exempt” and publishing a Notice of Intent/Request for the Release of Funds (NOI/RROF) would not be necessary. Upon receipt of additional project information and/or other research as part of completing the CEST checklist detailed above, if sensitive resources or environmental concerns are identified that would require more detailed environmental analysis (i.e., additional reports/assessments, technical studies or regulatory agency permits) than included herein, we will notify the City immediately and supplemental services/work effort may be required.

Project Team
Micheal Neal, will serve as Project Advisor in this assignment. Shannon Andrews, Grants Specialist, will oversee the grant administration. Brent Schleck, Environmental Specialist, will oversee the 3760 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 270 • Long Beach, CA 90806 • (562) 200-7177 4 | Page environmental review process. Cristina Trevizo, Environmental Planner, will support the Environmental Specialist. Jessica Budin-Caloroso, Labor Compliance Specialist, will assist the Labor Compliance Manager and Analyst with tasks associated with maintaining the files in accordance with federal and state guidelines.
