City Council Agenda Report

ALIPORNIA
March 15, 2022
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY

TO CONTINUE ITS TELECONFERENCED OPEN MEETINGS PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-10 to Authorize the City of Huntington Park to Conduct Teleconferenced Open Meetings in Accordance with Assembly Bill 361.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The purpose of this resolution is to clarify that cities may continue to meet remotely in ccordance with the procedures outlined by previous executive orders issued. Assembl ill (AB) 361 allows cities to continue to meet remotely during gubernatorial states of emergency under modified Brown Act provisions. The provisions enacted in AB 361 providing flexibility to meet remotely during a proclaimed emergency will sunset on January 1, 2024.

AB 361 amends Government Code § 54953 to provide more clarity on the Brown Act's rules and restrictions surrounding the use of teleconferencing to conduct meetings. AB 361 provides relief from teleconferencing requirements, including the obligation to post meeting agendas at all teleconference locations for local agencies. However, the meeting must still be conducted in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties or the public appearing before the legislative body of a local agency. Meaning, although local agencies are relieved from this obligation, local agencies should endeavor to post meeting agendas at all usual locations where it remains feasible to do so.

ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2022-04 AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO IMPLEMENT TELECONFERENCED OPEN MEETINGS PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361 March 15, 2022

Additionally, AB 361 clarifies on the following:
(A) State of Emergency: Teleconferencing will be Allowed as long as There is an Active Gubernatorial State of Emergency
The bill amends the Brown Act to allow local agencies to continue using teleconferencing and virtual meeting technology as long as there is a gubernatorial "proclaimed state of emergency. "It is not sufficient that county and/or city officials have issued a local emergency declaration - the emergency declaration must be one that is made pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act (Gov't Code § 8625). (B) Public Participation and Public Comment
(1) Local agencies must ensure that the opportunity for the public to participate in a meeting remains as accessible as possible
This means that local agencies cannot discriminate against members of the public participating either remotely or in-person. For instance, local agencies must clearly advertise how members of the public can observe a public meeting or offer comment during a meeting remotely, via either a call-in or internet-based option. Additionally, local agencies are required to provide the remote access information which includes the URL, email addresses, phone numbers, etc. Any of the information related to participation must be included in the relevant meeting notice(s) and meeting agenda(s). (2) Legislative Bodies must offer the public a chance to comment in real time and until comment period is closed
Additionally, AB 361 requires a public comment period where the public can address the legislative body directly. It expressly prohibits the board from limiting public comments to only comments submitted in advance. Additionally, the legislative body must allow for public comment (written and/or remote) up until the public comment period is closed at the meetings. Until such time during a meeting that the chairperson (or other authorized person) calls for a close to the public comment period, members of the public are allowed to submit their public comments directly or indirectly, orally, written, or otherwise. An individual desiring to provide public comment through the use of an internet website, or other online platform, not under the control of the local legislative body that requires registration to log in to a teleconference, may be required to register as required by the third-party internet website or online platform to participate. (C) Technical Issues
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2022-04 AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO IMPLEMENT TELECONFERENCED OPEN MEETINGS PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361 March 15, 2022

As discussed above, the agenda must include information on the way the public may access the meeting and provide comments remotely. If technical problems arise that result in the public's access being disrupted, the local agency may not take any vote or other official action until the technical disruption is corrected and public access is restored. (Gov't Code § 54953(e)(2)(D).)
(D) Local agency must make findings every 30 days by majority vote to continue exemptions to teleconferencing rules
A local agency acting under the teleconference exemptions must make findings about whether the circumstances explained above still apply. Specifically, when there is a continuing state of emergency, or when state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, AB 361 requires a legislative body to make specified findings not later than 30 days after the first teleconferenced meeting pursuant to these provisions, and to make those findings every 30 days thereafter, in order to continue to meet under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures pursuant to AB 361.

As a result, it is recommended that a resolution be considered by City Council to make said findings (i.e., The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency; AND, Any of the following circumstances exist: (i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person; and/or ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing), consistent with AB 361, and reconsider said resolution every 30 days thereafter by a majority vote, should the City desire to move in that direction.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
There is no fiscal impact with this action.

CONCLUSION
The goal of AB 361 is "to improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic and future applicable state of emergencies, by allowing wider access through conducting teleconferencing meetings consistent with Executive Order N-29-20. In accordance, the City Attorney's Office has prepared a Resolution for City Council's consideration that would authorize the City to conduct teleconferenced public meetings in accordance to AB 361. Upon Council approval, we will proceed with the recommended actions.

The bill would require the legislative body to take no further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency's control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments, until public access is restored. The bill would specify that actions taken during the disruption are subject to challenge proceedings, as specified. his bill would prohibit the legislative body from requiring publi mments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specifv tha ne legislative body must provide an opportunity for the public to address he legislative bodv and offer comment in real time.

teleconferencing procedures.

This bill would exclude from that prohibition, a registration requiremen mposed by a third-party internet website or other online platform not unde the control of the legislative body.
(2) Existing law, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend any meeting of a state body.

City Council Agenda Report
March 15, 2022
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO AUTHORIZE A REIMBURSEMENT

AGREEMENT WITH THE SALVATION ARMY FOR CRISIS HOUSING
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:

1. Authorize an agreement with the Salvation Army for crisis shelter beds for a term March 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 for a not-to-exceed amount of $62,415.50;

2. Approve a budget appropriation in the amount of $62,415.50 from Account No. 111-9050-462.56-41 General Fund - American Rescue Funds Contractual Services; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

BACKGROUND
The City of Huntington Park is experiencing a historic rise in the number of un-housed/ homeless individuals within the community. This is a nationwide problem that has significant impacts on the quality of life for the businesses and residents within the community. Individuals may be tacing a variety of issues that are causing them to lose their ability to be sheltered. Historically, these issues can stem from financial difficulties, mental health issues, addictions, and other causes and has been compounded by the COVID 19 pandemic.

The Gateway Council of Governments COG) has established a sub-regional homeless services coordination with the Cities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, South Gate, Vernon, and the First Supervisory District of the County of Los Angeles as a local coordinating alliance (LCA1). The purpose of the LAC1 is to coordinate resources and services to address homelessness in south eastern Los Angeles.

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE HOMELESS OUTREACH SERVICES
March 15, 2022

The LCA1 is looking to partner with the Salvation Army for 40 crisis shelter beds. The beds are intended to house homeless individuals that are at least 18 years old and are low barrier/low demand. The shelter will also provide a litany of support services as part of the intake of homeless individuals. The ability of having a shelter bed as a resource will also encourage homeless individuals to get the help that they need and provide Public Safety staff with a tool that they can utilize to encourage individuals to be in a safe environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City would be responsible for their fair share (1/8'*) of the agreement divided equally between the agencies. The term to for consideration tonight is from March 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 at a cost of $62,415.50. The annual cost for Huntington Park will be $46,785.70 thereafter. The agreement would be allocated from the City's General Fund - American Rescue Funds. It is an allowable expenditure from these funds.

CONCLUSION
Upon Council's direction, staff will proceed with actions as directed.

Respectfully submitted,

RICARDO REYES
City Manager

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
FOR

SHELTER BEDS WITHIN THE SALVATION ARMY BELL SHELTER
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of March → 2022 ("Effective Date") by and among the CITY OF BELL, a California charter city ("Bell"), the CITY OF BELL GARDENS, a California general law city ("Bell Gardens"), the CITY OF COMMERCE, a California general law city ("Commerce"), the CITY OF CUDAHY, a California general law city ("Cudahy"), the CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK, a California general law city ("Huntington Park"), the CITY OF MAYWOOD, a California general law city ("Maywood"), the CITY OF SOUTH GATE, a California general law city (South Gate"), and the CITY OF VERNON, a California charter city and municipal corporation ("Vernon"), collectively referred to herein as the "LCA1 Members" and/or the "Parties".

RECITALS
A. The cities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, South Gate, and Vernon, are members of a Local Coordinating Alliance 1 ("LCAl"), a cooperative working group of eight (8) entities developed within the Gateway Cities Council of Governments for subregional homeless services coordination in the Southeast Los Angeles subregion of Service Planning Area 7 ("SPA 7"). The LCA1 Members have agreed to coordinate resources and services to address homelessness in the Southeastern Los Angeles region within a provisional pilot program as described / outlined pursuant to the terms in this Agreement.

B. Los Angeles County (First and Fourth Supervisorial Districts) ("County") will separately participate with The Salvation Army for the same services as set forth herein pursuant to separate agreements directly with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter.

C. A "Shelter Bed" is defined as an occupancy placement within a crisis housing bed or a bridge housing bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter located at 5600 Rickenbacker Rd, Bell, CA 9020, for a single adult (age 18 or over) participant referred into a program of comprehensive homeless support services within such shelter. Depending on the service needs of the particular unhoused individual, initial placement may occur in a crisis housing bed that is operated with a low barrier design or in a bridge housing bed. Both crisis and bridge housing beds are intended provide a safe and supportive twenty-four (24) hour residence to individuals experiencing homelessness while enabling assistance for them to obtain permanent housing. A low barrier design program is one in which no participant that is placed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter shall be required to commit to sobriety, or to commit to an adherence to medications for physical or mental health conditions. Low barrier crisis housing beds are expected to be provided at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in Building 1E. Bridge housing beds are expected to be provided at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter sober living dormitories in Building 2A/B for participants who prefer to live in a more stable environment. The number of beds provided in each housing type will be flexible to accommodate the shifting needs of the participants at any time.

D. It is expected that a number of participants entering the pilot program will have significant barriers to employment and housing. The Parties expect that there will be an on-site Salvation Army Bell Shelter employee who will provide group and individual psychotherapy for participants who need an advanced level of support and are open to engaging in behavioral health services.

E. Client level data for this pilot program will be entered into the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority's ("LAHSA") Homeless Management Information System ("HMIS"). HMIS collects participant demographic data, as well as program and service utilization data for auditing, reporting, and to facilitate participant transfer and coordination among available regional homeless services programs.

F. The LCA1 Members currently participate in the Los Angeles County Coordinated Entry System ("County CES"), which provides for placements of individuals experiencing homelessness within occupiable shelter beds in Los Angeles County.

Due to the high demand for shelter beds within Los Angeles County, a shelter bed may not be immediately available to address the needs of the local unhoused population in the Southeast Los Angeles County subregion. Thus, the City of Bell has negotiated an agreement with The Salvation Army to procure the prioritized use of thirty-six (36) shelter beds for the eight (8) participating LCA1 Members, in recognition of the local impacts of homelessness experienced by the LCA1 Members.

G. The LCAl Members, have collectively designated the City of Bell as the lead agency to coordinate the implementation of the pilot program proposed by this Agreement for the placement of homeless individuals within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in an effort to address the unhoused population that the LCA1 Members seek to assist.

H. This pilot program will require a great deal of cooperation among the LCA1 Members in order to enable the efficient placement of homeless individuals currently to a Shelter Bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter.

I. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter, one of the largest shelters in the nation, is located within the City of Bell in the Southeast Los Angeles County subregion and accepts placements from throughout the Los Angeles County area through the County CES.

The Shelter Beds are contracted by various governmental and nonprofit entities, and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, in recognition of the homeless housing impacts experienced by the LCA1 Members, has agreed to contract with the City of Bell for thirty-six (36) prioritized Shelter Beds to be allocated to the LCA1 Members' homeless population, based on certain conditions. 01135.0001/536707.2 -2-
J. The City of Bell will take the lead on behalf of the LCA1 Members plus the County to coordinate the prioritized use of forty-two (42) Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Shelter through a Homeless Liaison (as such term is defined below), which shall be a designated staff member selected by the City of Bell to implement the pilot program under this Agreement that is separately funded by a Measure H Innovation Fund Grant reimbursement through the Gateway Cities Council of Governments.

K. To this end, the City of Bell and The Salvation Army, a California corporation (Salvation Army") have entered into an agreement, dated March _ 2022, as set forth in Exhibit A (the "Salvation Army Agreement"), whereby the City of Bell, has acquired the prioritized right for thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, and additional supportive services to serve the LCA1 Members' homeless housing population.

L. Separately, the City of Bell, as lead agency, applied for and received a $500,000 Measure H Innovation Fund Grant ("Measure H Grant") from the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, which reduces the total cost of this pilot program to the eight (8) LCA1 Members. With Measure H Grant funds, the total estimated cost of the Salvation Army Agreement to the eight (8) participating LCA1 Members would be reduced by fifty percent (50%) from $999,324 to $499,324. In return for the Measure H Grant award, the LCA1 Members agree that if the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds cannot be filled by the LCA1 Members, open placements will be made available to other SPA 7 communities with pre-approval of the designated Homeless Liaison. The total number of SPA 7 placements from outside of the eight (8) LCA1 Members may not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds, which is eighteen (18) out of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds at any one time. Placements will not be available to other SPA 7 communities through this Agreement until Shelter Bed occupancy drops below ninety percent (90%) occupancy, or thirty-three (33) of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds.

M. The City of Bell shall appoint an individual to serve as a liaison to all LCA1 Members and the County (the "Homeless Liaison"), and shall work with the participating LCA1 Members and the County to coordinate the use of the prioritized Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in addition to any other beds that are made available through the County CES.

N. The Shelter Beds are designed to provide the LCAI Members with an additional dd to the unhoused population in the communities of the Southeast Los Angele ubregion. Thus, the pilot program proposed by the LCA1 Members is designed t rovide an enhanced level of support, resources, and communication in order 1 nsure any placement of individuals within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter rema 01135.0001/536707.2 -3-
O. The LCA1 Members agree that the costs of this Agreement will be shared equally mong all of the LCA1 Members and they shall be required to pay their equal shar ach month during the term of this Agreement. If a LCA1 Member chooses t my Bel Shelter (which adition may recor

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are hereby acknowledged and agreed to by the Parties and are incorporated in the terms of this Agreement. Specifically, the City of Bell is acknowledged and agreed to as the lead agency, and its appointed Homeless Liaison is acknowledged and agreed to, for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2. Term: Termination.
(a) The term of this Agreement will commence on March 1, 2022 and end on June 30, 2023 (the "Term") for a total of 487 days.
(b) In addition, this Agreement may be terminated after June 30, 2022, (i) at the convenience of any LCA1 Member following thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City of Bell, and/or (ii) upon a termination of the Salvation Army Agreement by the Salvation Army or the City of Bell pursuant to the terms of the Salvation Army Agreement.

The City of Bell, as lead agency, may replace any party that terminates this Agreement with another city within the SPA7 area that executes an acknowledgement and acceptance of the terms of this Agreement (which, at the City of Bell's discretion, may require an amendment to this Agreement).
(c) In the event of any termination by a LCA1 Member after June 30, 2022, and a replacement SPA 7 city is not immediately available to take such terminating Party's share of the costs/payments required herein, then the equitable share of costs for this Agreement (along with the allocation of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds for all LCA1 Members) provided in Section 3 below shall be adjusted accordingly.

Section 3. Cost and Payment. It is agreed and acknowledged that the Parties will share the costs of this pilot program equally, and that, regardless of any ability of the City of Bell, the Homeless Liaison, and / or the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to actually enable the utilization of any Shelter Bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for any LCA1 Member's homeless population, each LCA1 Member shall be required to pay the monthly 01135.0001/536707.2 -4-
amount due under this Agreement on the first day of each month of the Term of this Agreement to the City of Bell in order for the City of Bell to pay any and all monthly invoices received from the Salvation Army without delay. If the invoice received by the City of Bell from the Salvation Army for the use of the Shelter Beds in any given month is less than the amount collectively paid by the LCA1 Members for such month, then the City of Bell shall promptly refund any such overcharge to each of the LCA1 Members on an equal basis.

As the City of Bell, as lead agency, was successful in procuring $500,000 in Measure H Grant funds from the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, the total cost for each of the Parties (as set forth below) is proportionally reduced during the term of the Measure H Grant fund term.

Total Agreement Cost
The total cost of the Salvation Army Agreement is $999,324 calculated at thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds per day at a cost of $57 per bed / per day for 487 days.

The City of Bell will invoice the Gateway Cities Council of Governments for $500,000 in Measure H Grant fund reimbursements, which would reduce the total cost of this Agreement to $499,324.

Los Angeles County First Supervisorial District will enter directly into a separate agreement with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for four (4) additional Shelter Beds at a cost of $117,420. Los Angeles County Fourth Supervisorial District will enter directly into a separate agreement with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for two (2) additional Shelter Beds at a cost of $58,710, to bring the total number of coordinated Shelter Beds in the Southeast Los Angeles subregion to forty-two (42) under this pilot program.

The eight (8) LCA1 Members will be invoiced monthly by the City of Bell for an equal one-eighth (1/8th) share. Each of the eight (8) LCA1 Members will be billed a maximum of $62,415.50 of the total Agreement of $499,324.

Monthly Invoice
The City of Bell, as lead agency, will submit the monthly invoice it receives from the Salvation Army pursuant to the Salvation Army Agreement, to each LCA1 Member upon five (5) business days of its receipt therefor, with, if applicable, backup documentation and related reports for the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds.

Section 4. Specifications. The availability and use of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds allocated to each LCA1 Member shall be subject to the following specifications. In recognition of the complexity of the daily operations of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, and the unknown personal, regional, and local factors which affect Shelter Bed availability, the Parties agree that a high level of communication, coordination, and flexibility is necessary to effectively use all available Shelter Beds, and to refrain from submitting Shelter Bed placements when inventory is not available. There is no guarantee that a Shelter Bed is available at any specific time, as the complex and shifting factors that affect 01135.0001/536707.2 -5-
Shelter Bed inventory are beyond the control of the City of Bell and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. The purpose of this pilot program is to increase coordination and communication on homelessness within the LCA1 subregion, to develop data at a subregional level, and to develop improved and effective partnerships on a subregional level with regional service providers and nonprofit entities. (a) Initial Use of Crisis Housing Bed Inventory. Upon the notice from the Salvation Army of availability of Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, ten percent (10%) of the thirty-six (36) beds will be designated as public safety priority beds for emergency use by the public safety agencies of all LCA1 Members, for a total of four (4) beds. The remaining ninety percent (90%), or thirty-two (32) beds, will be prioritized as four (4) general inventory beds per each LCA1 Member. This distribution equals eight (8) LCA1 Members times four (4) beds each for a general inventory of thirty- two (32) beds. Initial intake into a public safety priority bed shall also require participation from a public safety agency (e.g., Bell Police Department, Bell Gardens Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff, South Gate Police Department, Vernon Police Department, etc.). Once the new resident is placed in a public safety bed and completes the facility intake process, they will be rotated from the priority public safety bed into one of the thirty- two (32) general beds, if a general bed is available. If the LCA1 Members cannot fill the Shelter Bed inventory, and the Shelter Bed occupancy drops below ninety percent (90%), the Homeless Liaison may refer participants from non LCA1 Member SPA 7 cities to ensure that the Shelter Bed inventory is used efficiently up to a maximum of eighteen (18) non LCA1 Member SPA 7 placements at any one time. The LCA1 Members shall use best efforts to efficiently and effectively coordinate the shared use of available Shelter Beds to maintain ninety percent (90%) occupancy and meet their specific local needs depending on bed availability. The Salvation Army has agreed, pursuant to the Salvation Army Agreement to coordinate in good faith to plan transfers of homeless individuals to other available support programs, based on participant eligibility (i.e., Veteran's Administration program shelter beds, Department of Mental Health program shelter beds, Substance Abuse Prevention and Control program shelter beds) to increase the annual number of participants that can benefit from the forty (40) prioritized Shelter Beds under the Salvation Army Agreement. The LCA1 Members acknowledge and agree that the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds are not actually reserved or dedicated to the LCA1 Members' homeless population, but are merely prioritized to them under the Salvation Army Agreement. Each day there shall be an analysis of the occupancy of Shelter Beds and allocations will be made available to each of the LCA1 Members through the Homeless Liaison in coordination with the LCA1 Members. As such, the effectiveness of this pilot program requires cooperation and consistent communication between the LCA1 Members and the Homeless Liaison, given the fluidity of available bed occupancy (and the rotation in and out of such beds by homeless individuals).
(b) Recalculation of Crisis Housing Bed Inventory. In order to ensure the full and efficient use of the thirty-six (36) prioritized Shelter Beds, cooperation and communication between the Parties is essential. Informal analysis and recalculation of Shelter Bed use ratios shall occur every week day during the Term of this Agreement, and as needed, to use the available Shelter Beds efficiently. An initial thirty (30) day use analysis will be provided to the LCA1 Members by the City of Bell and/or the Homeless 01135.0001/536707.2 -6-
Liaison after the Effective Date and a secondary sixty (60) day use analysis will be provided to the LCA1 Members, in order to determine and agree to the most efficient bed use ratios. Thereafter, quarterly reviews will occur to determine the efficient use of the Shelter Beds, and the effectiveness of this pilot program and how it could be improved.

Shelter Bed inventory flexibility is critical in order to effectively address conditions in the field (given the fact that individuals placed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter will likely be rotating in and out frequently) and in order to assess the success of program participants in receiving housing placement. As this program is a pilot program and requires participant flexibility, all Parties will designate a public safety contact and a staff contact for the Homeless Liaison to coordinate activities and improve communication, each of which are designated on the signature page for each of the Parties below.

Shelter Bed Availability Limitations. If the Salvation Army Bell Shelter is experiencing COVID-19 quarantine limits or holds on resident intake upon the execution of the Salvation Army Agreement, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter will not initiate invoicing for Shelter Beds until the beds are available. Limitations on Shelter Bed availability may exist depending on the number of available Shelter Beds in the Salvation Army Bell Shelter's daily inventory. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter does not provide family shelter resources; thus LCA1 Members must coordinate placement of any such families to other shelters through the Homeless Liaison during business hours or call 211 (www.211la.org) to find suitable shelter or motel options for families in need. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter does not provide a kennel to shelter the pets of unhoused individuals in need. The thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds addressed in this Agreement are merely a supplement to the shelter beds available through the County CES. (d) Intake. New resident intake shall occur during regular business hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter provides 24 hour a day, seven day a week staffing, however the shelter has an inventory of four (4) safe rooms for intake and staff are required to perform COVID-19 protocols upon intake that limit the ability of the shelter to perform intake outside of regular business hours.

After hours domestic violence and/or other emergency placements are subject to the availability of an unoccupied safe room at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. Emergency intake is available after hours, however due to a limited number of available safe rooms and due to COVID-19 protocols, after hours intake should only be for emergency situations. An after-hours call line that operates 24 hours a day will be provided to participating public safety agencies for use in the event of an after-hours emergency. (e) Length of Stay. Each participant will be limited to an initial stay of ninety (90) days. Two (90) day extensions are available upon request for participants actively working on a housing plan, for a maximum stay of 270 days for any individual participant.

COVID-19 Protocols and Processes. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter restarted limited intake of residents into quarantine facilities on August 19, 2021. COVID- 19 protocols for intake include but are not limited to, i) any incoming participant is tested n the day of or on the day after intake regardless of vaccine status, il) it an incomin articipant is vaccinated. the particinant may move into a public safety prioritized bed. i 01135.0001/536707.2 -7-
a participant is not vaccinated, they must remain in quarantine until two negative COVID- 19 tests are received. The second test occurs seven to eight days after the first, with results generally available within three days. Modular homes located on the greater Salvation Army Bell complex property serve as a first line of intake quarantine and are subject to availability.
(g) Homeless Liaison. The Homeless Liaison will coordinate daily with assigned Salvation Army Bell Shelter staff, in order to determine the daily inventory on weekdays of Shelter Bed availability and the roster of shelter residents, however, it shall not be required to ensure the availability of all thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds since such beds are only prioritized, they are not specifically reserved, and the LCAI Members must coordinate with the Homeless Liaison in order to ensure allocation of Shelter Beds for proposed participants. The Homeless Liaison will coordinate daily with assigned LCA1 public safety agency assigned staff (as designated on the signature page to this Agreement) to report shelter bed inventory availability and to determine any planned public safety needs. The Homeless Liaison will coordinate daily with designated Salvation Army Bell Shelter staff to determine how many residents can be transferred to general bed inventory or to other programs to maximize Shelter Bed use.

Drying agent for puddles
Tarps - to cover pitching mound and home field plate on Ball Park 4 - to remove and store in chalk shed during inclement weather
Baseball/Softball Infield Maintenance - Salt Lake Park
Skin/Baseline Areas
Maintain a level surface with uniform consistency throughout the areas. Problems areas include edges, player position areas, sliding, and lead-off areas.

Daily Maintenance: Drag, level, rake, wet down by 12:00 p.m. All standing water to be removed. If fields are not playable contractor should notify City designated staff by 11:00 a.m.

Weekly Maintenance: Scarify ½" deep, level depressions (pack firm with 3-ton roller if rain eminent).

Monthly Maintenance: Re-screen surface, scarify, and add Hilltopper mound clay, level.

Annual Maintenance: 2nd week of December through first week of February. Scarify and add Angel Mix as needed. Laser level every two (2) years. Add Hilltopper mound clay as needed. Salt Lake Park dethatching the perimeter of the infield (2' from infield edge) and around the warning track of fields once (1) per year.

Laser Leveling - Annually, starting on the second week of December of 2019.

Dragging Equipment / Techniques: The following dragging techniques shall be applied to all baseball/softball infields. All dragging should avoid the grass edges by staying at least one foot away - the area next to the grass edge should be hand raked. a. Scarifying drag; loosens and mixes the top ½", or so, of skin material (Hilltopper mound clay) with the conditioner (topdressing) material typically consisting of Hilltopper mound clay. Scarifying drags also level the cleat marks created in the skin base Hilltoppter mound clay. Baselines should be dragged by hand if there is grass on both sides. b. Leveling drag: fills in minor swales created from sliding and concentrated cleat activity at the player position areas and baselines. Care should always be taken when dragging near the grass edges to avoid moving any loose soil into the grass thus contributing to the lip problem. For best results on the skin area, dragging with a level drag should be in circles with a minimum turning radius of the equipment used to pull the drag. A medium turning radius at a slow speed prevents the tires on the equipment from digging into the Hilltopper mound clay base. Keeping the turning radius the same and overlapping the drag width half way from the previous drag pass will help ensure a more uniform and level surface.
c. Grooming drag: puts the finishing touches on the leveling process by eliminating any ridges created by the scarifying and leveling drags. It also helps establish a more uniform distribution of the conditioner or top dressing material.

Edges: The infield/outfield edges require daily maintenance. Lightly raking or sweeping away any loose infield material in the grass on a daily basis will greatly reduce lip buildup.

Periodically, the edges will require reestablishment every week by setting up a taught string line stretched from one base cutout to the other. Then, with a power edger, cut along the string line to cut grass stolon's and straighten the edge line. Once the edge has been cut remove any loose grass debris - this may involve the use of a hoe to remove any Bermuda grass that has become anchored on the skin side of the edge. With a re- defined edge add enough infield skin mix necessary to re-level the edge line and compact with a small hand roller. One should be able to stand on the edge line (straddling the grass and skin) without feeling any elevation difference.

Daily Maintenance: Rake/broom level.

Weekly Maintenance: Maintain level grade.

Monthly Maintenance: Re-screen surface, scarify, and add Hilltopper mound clay, level.

Annual Maintenance: Scarify, add Angel Mix as needed, laser level, add Hilltopper mound clay as needed.

Moisture Management: The key component to any good infield skin and baseline is proper moisture within the soil profile. Proper moisture can take a poor performing infield and turn it into one of superior performance.

Daily Maintenance: Apply even moisture.

Pitcher's Mound / Home Plate Area:

Daily pitcher's mound and home plate maintenance is required.

Repair holes on the mound and in the batter and catcher boxes utilizing this 5-step process:

Step 1: Using a kitchen broom remove all loose soil from holes - the base of the hole should be firm and hard.

Step 2: Using a pump-up sprayer or a hose with an on/off nozzle set to a trickle wet the base of the hole to the point where the Hilltopper mound clay in the bottom of the hole becomes sticky and slightly slimy - make sure the edges of the hole are wet as well.

Step 3: Add moist Hilltopper mound clay material to the hole.

Step 4: Compact the applied Hilltopper mound clay material with a tamper making sure the compaction is occurring throughout the entire area of the hole. Compact area until it is level with the surrounding surface.

Step 5: Keep Hilltopper mound clay moist for best playability and minimal disruption - apply light amounts of water as needed to prevent Hilltopper mound clay from drying out and cracking. Use of tarps will help retain moisture within the Hilltopper mound clay during hot sunny days.

Key mound repair areas will include the launch area (next to the rubber), the landing area (approximately 5 feet down the slope from the rubber), and the follow-through area (approximately 3 feet to the right and left of the landing area.

Key home plate areas will include the holes in both batters boxes, the catchers box, the start line toward 1st base (typically located just outside the right batter's box and in line with the foul line), and the sliding area into home plate from the 3rd base side.

Field Turf Maintenance Guidelines - Salt Lake Park
Bermuda grass maintenance (Apr-Oct)
Mowing: Once Bermuda grass comes out of dormancy begin mowing at ¾" height to reduce shade from cool-season grasses and allow more heat to the crown of the Bermuda plant with a reel mower. Mowing frequency should be 1x per week. Clippings can be left if the 1/3 rule is followed. Hybrid Bermuda prefers a mowing height of ½" - ¾".

Fertilization: Apply a complete fertilizer at a rate of 1 lb. of N per 1000 sf every month. In June and July the amount of N shall be increased to 1.5 Ibs. per 1000 square feet or an additional application of ½ Ib. per 1000 square feet can be applied two weeks following the 1 Ib. N application. The ratio of nitrogen (N) to potassium (K) should be close to equal with phosphorous (P) and ¼ that of N and K. Fertilizer selected should include some secondary nutrients (calcium, magnesium, and sulfur) as well. Apply micro nutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, copper and boron) at the label rate in June and July - this can be either in granular form or liquid form if spray equipment is available.

Dethatching: Vertical mow all turf grass areas in June or July at the completion of field activity. Vertical cutting blades should be spaced approximately every ¾" and set to the depth of the soil surface. If equipment has vertical blade spacing greater than 2" then make 2 passes at right angles over entire area. Debris should be removed. Vertical mowing will provide some viable stolon's that can be placed in heavily worn areas for establishment. Aeration: All sports field turt areas should be core aerified every month.

Deep-tine aeration is to be performed once a year in the summer when the fields are not in use. Depending on the depth of irrigation pipes aerating to a 12" depth is required. If deep-tine aeration is not an option then core aerating to a minimum of 3" is recommended.

Cores must be collected from the field at the conclusion of each work day.

Topdressing: Topdressing should be performed at the same time aeration takes place.

Topdressing mix should consist of 90% washed medium sand (.5mm- 25mm) and 10% finely composted organic material. Application rate should be approximately 40 cubic yards per acre.

Perennial Ryegrass / Tall Fescue Maintenance (Oct-Apr)
Mowing: Raise the height of cut to 1" and mow 1x per week. Mowing should be done with a reel type mower. Clippings can be left if the 1/3 rule is followed.

Hello Cesar Roland,
Congratulations to the City of Huntington Park on the grand opening of the new linear park, Veterans Park. The residents will enjoy a community park of this magnitude for many years to come.

Since 2019, North Star Land Care has been the City of Huntington Park's contracted landscaping maintenance company. Currently, we service all existing city parks, city facilities, and city-wide medians. Our current contract does not cover the maintenance of Veterans Park. Since the grand opening, we have assessed the maintenance needs of the new park, and we wish to offer the city our services. Based on our assessment, we concluded that it would take an additional two full-time staff persons and equipment, including a pickup truck, small power equipment, and an off-road vehicle. The additional monthly fee would cost $14,560, bringing the new monthly total to $37,635.

Over the years, we have built a great relationship with your staff, working together daily to provide the Huntington Park residents with clean, well-maintained parks and facilities.

We would love to add Veterans Park to our routine maintenance schedule, ensuring quality and continuity in the city.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with the city to provide the best possible maintenance services to the great community of Huntington Park. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
JAM

SE HINTINGTO City Council Agenda Report

CALIFORNA
March 15, 2022
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO ALLOW PUBLIC WORKS STAFF TO

PURCHASE A UTILITY SERVICE TRUCK
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:

1. Approve the purchasing of a utility service truck for the Public Works Department for a not to exceed fee of $45,000 payable from Account No. 741-8060-431.74-10 Fleet Fund Capital Equipment; and

2. Approve a budget transfer from Account No. 111-8095-431.61-50 General Fund Street Maintenance Supplies to Account No. 741-8060-431.74-10 (all City vehicles are purchased from the Fleet Fund); and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable agreements.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Department of Public Works has an ongoing requirement to purchase replacement vehicles to support mission critical operations performed by City departments. Time is of the essence when replacing vehicles to prevent interruptions in service and avoid higher repair and maintenance costs associated with keeping assets beyond their scheduled replacement. To expedite this process, this report recommends using cooperative purchase agreements and/or direct sales representation from reputable dealers to purchase a utility service truck. Additionally, as the Public Works Department continues to grow and add more personnel, so does the need to purchase vehicles in order to have personnel get to their designated work destinations.

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
In an ongoing effort to maximize cost savings and staff resources, many government agencies share contracting efforts through cooperative purchasing. This procurement CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO AMEND UTILITY SERVICE CO. INC'S (A SUEZ COMPANY) CONTRACT TO INSTALL A NEW ROOF AS PART OF CIP 2020- 03 COTTAGE RESERVOIR AT WELL 15

method increases pricing competitiveness and lowers capital costs through volume buying. When comparing the administrative costs of procurement, staff considers product research, source selection, specifications, advertising, staff reports, awarding, protests, and administration of the contract.

Cooperative purchasing enables City departments to evaluate a broader range of contracting opportunities and to share resources with other jurisdictions. Cooperative purchasing also leverages internal and external resources to maximize cost savings opportunities for the City.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Approval of this item will authorize the purchasing of a utility service truck for a not to exceed fee of $45,000 payable from Account No. 741-8060-431.74-10. There is sufficient budget in the General Fund Account No. 111-8095-431.61-50 for this budget transfer.

CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:

1. Award the design of Project Approval and Environmental Design of CIP 2019-14 ATP Cycle V Project No. ATPSB1L-5150(017) to West & Associates Engineering, Inc. for a not-to-exceed fee of $24,800;

2. Utilize Account No. 202-8080-431.76-23 as the $24,800 is reimbursable from the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans); and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the professional services agreement.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
At the regularly scheduled meeting of February 1, 2022, the City Council authorized staff to solicit proposals for the Project Approval and Environmental Design (PA&ED) of CIP 2019-14 ATP Cycle V Project No. ATPSB1L-5150(017) (Project). The proposed project will create pedestrian safety and mobility enhancements along Gage Avenue, State Street, California Avenue, and the intersection of Florence Avenue at Bissell Street. It builds off previous safety initiatives and targets persistent concerns along Gage Avenue, where pedestrian ramp improvements and sidewalk replacement will improve safety and encourage active transportation for ten schools along Gage Avenue and seven schools along State Street. The project also adds four transit bus pads that will provide ADA- access and stable station platforms for all ages that will promote more active transportation to and from bus services. Along the residential corridor of California Avenue, pedestrian ramps will be improved at 42 locations. Finally, HAWK beacons at three critical mid-block locations in the City, including the intersection of Florence Avenue and Bissell Street will improve north-south pedestrian safety to schools near Salt Lake

Park. These infrastructure improvements will increase pedestrian mode share for sixteen elementary, middle, and high schools with a cumulative enrollment of 14,595 students.

This will address a youth population with the highest rate of collision fatalities in the State and the highest rates of obesity and overweight children in the State.

The PA&ED constructability review assures that all of the alternatives and the proposed preferred alternative are constructible on the available level of detail. This review is particularly important during consultation with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that establishes project limits or place specific mitigation requirements on the project. The constructability review includes the review of the proposed work plan, schedule, environmental requirements, and construction impacts.

On February 4, 2022, the City Clerk's Office published the RFP in the local newspaper of general circulation and Public Work' posted the RFP on the City's website and other forms of electronic media. The RFP provided the guidance expected of professional engineering firms that perform similar type work.

The City solicited proposals from qualified firms and the date to submit proposals was March 3, 2022. The City received three (3) proposals.

1. West & Associates Engineering, Inc. $24,800

2. Infrastructure Engineers $34,390

3. Minagar & Associates, Inc. $47,935
City staff has relayed that engineering support from an outside consultant is necessary to accomplish the design of the environmental phase of the Project. Based on the need to commence this phase of the design, it is staffs recommendation to award the design proposal to West & Associates Engineering, Inc.

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Congress adopted the Brooks Act (P.L. 92-582), requiring the use of Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) for the procurement of architect and engineering services. The use of QBS ensures that taxpayers receive highly technical architect and engineering services from the most experienced and most qualified firms at a fair and reasonable cost.

California's QBS requirements can be found at Government Code sections 4525 et seq., also known as the Mini Brooks Act. City is awarding West & Associates Engineering, Inc. with the professional services agreement based on demonstrating competence and qualifications for this type of service.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
At its regularly scheduled meeting of December 8, 2021, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated funding in the amount of $50,000. A local City match is not required. West & Associates Engineering, Inc. has submitted a proposal and a fee schedule for a not-to-exceed fee of $24,800. Staff recommends utilizing Account No. 202-
