PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
In 2017, the City Council authorized a four (4) year agreement with Infrastructure Engineers Inc. (I.E.) to provide professional engineering services and building and safety services. The agreement commenced on January 1, 2018, and concluded on December 31, 2021. The City Council authorized language in the contract to allow for three (3) one (1) year contract extension options at the discretion of the City Council. Infrastructure Engineers first extension was approved by the City Council on December 7, 2021, and expired on December 31, 2022. A second extension was authorized on December 20, 2022, and expired on December 31, 2023. The third and final extension, per the contract, is set to expire on December 31, 2024.

November 4, 2024
Council’s agenda. RFPs have been developed to the specific requirements of the various disciplines. City Council will have the opportunity to select various firms who are known for their technical abilities, staffing resources and cost.
The following is a tentative schedule:
RFP(s) ISSUED 11/5/24

TENTATIVE CITY COUNCIL AWARD DATE 1/6/25
NOTICE TO PROCEED DATE 2/1/25
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.
The City Clerk’s Office shall publish the RFP in the local newspaper of general circulation, the City’s website and other forms of electronic media. The RFP shall describe the project and provide the tasks required from qualified firms. The time and location to submit proposals shall also be placed within the published RFP. The RFP shall be published for a minimum period of twenty-one (21) calendar days. Once proposals are submitted, reviewed and scored, staff will come back to the City Council with a recommendation to award.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
At this time, there is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of the solicitation of proposals to perform the requested professional services. Once proposals are submitted and evaluated, staff will return with a well-defined budget for consideration and approval at a future City Council meeting. The current services are included in the FY24/25 budget.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO SOLICIT ON CALL BUILDING AND SAFETY, PLANNING, AND ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES.

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

For state and federally funded programs and grant administration, MNS will offer the City of Huntington Park weekly or bi-weekly meetings to review the progress of each of the projects they are working with. This allows us to course correct should any changes or concerns arise from the city staff.
Additionally, all reports that are to be submitted to HUD are reviewed by the Project Manager (first draft and final version) and the Housing Practice Lead (final version). We will also submit at least one draft version for the City’s review of any documentation we produce, before a final version is approved.
Labor Compliance
QA/QC is applied through each of the labor compliance phases outlined in the Project Approach section of this proposal. Quality assurance and compliance are both important for the safety of customers and the quality of products. Quality assurance is optional and focuses on the quality of products, while compliance is mandatory and focuses on meeting regulations.
Our labor compliance program involves regular meetings with the City of Huntington Park, as well as Monthly Labor Compliance Status Report. Our Labor Compliance Officer works directly with our Housing Practice Lead to ensure that workers and contractors on public works projects are compensated fairly and treated fairly and meeting program goals.

If no appointment is made within sixty (60) days of assuming office, or from the adoption of this Resolution, or from a vacancy occurring for said Commission position, the Mayor shall appoint a member to the vacant seat.
Commission members may be removed from their appointment due to disqualification as provided for in this Resolution or upon the sole decision by the Councilmember who appointed that Commissioner.

SECTION 7: Quorum.
A majority of the total number of members of the Commission shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn from time to time for want of quorum and until a quorum can be obtained. - 2 -

City Council Agenda Report
November 4, 2024
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF TWO RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTING THE CITY’S APPLICATION TO THE PROHOUSING DESIGNATION PROGRAM AND THE
PROHOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Take public testimony;
3. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-26 supporting the City’s application to the California Housing and Community Development Department Prohousing Designation Program and authorizing City staff to submit the application for formal review; and
4. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-27 supporting the City’s application to the California Housing and Community Development Department Prohousing Incentive Program and authorizing City staff to submit the grant application with any corrections per the formal review.
5. Authorize the City Manager to sign all documents relative to the application.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Prohousing Designation is a California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) program that recognizes cities and counties that demonstrate a commitment to creating and supporting housing affordability and development. This recognition could position the City to receive additional grant funding from the State. By pursuing the designation, the City will advance its commitment to Housing Element goals, reinforcing its efforts to accelerate housing production to meet its share of the regional housing need, and address the housing needs of the community.
Receiving a Prohousing Designation documents a jurisdiction’s commitment to implementing local policies that remove obstacles to new housing and recognizes the work that has already been done by a jurisdiction to address California’s severe housing shortage and affordability crisis. Applicants seeking to build affordable housing projects
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF TWO RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTING THE CITY’S APPLICATION TO THE PROHOUSING DESIGNATION PROGRAM AND THE
PROHOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM
in local governments that receive the Prohousing Designation can receive priority processing or funding points when applying for several funding programs, including Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG), Transformative Climate Communities (TCC), and more.
Furthermore, becoming prohousing designated allows the City to qualify for the Prohousing Incentive Program, an HCD grant program that can be used for the following eligible uses:
1. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households, including necessary operating subsidies.
2. Affordable rental and ownership housing that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120 percent of area median income, or 150 percent of area median income in high-cost areas.
3. Matching portions of funds placed into local or regional housing trust funds.
4. Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 34176 of the Health and Safety Code.
5. Capitalized reserves for services connected to the creation of new permanent supportive housing, including, but not limited to, developments funded through the Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Bond Act of 2014.
6. Assisting people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.
7. Accessibility modifications.
8. Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes.
9. Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance.
10.Fiscal incentives or matching funds to local agencies that approve new housing for extremely low, very low, low-, and moderate-income households.
Local governments that receive the Prohousing Designation can also receive priority processing or funding points when applying for several funding programs, including:
•
Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (AHSC)
• Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG)
•
Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)
•
Solutions for Congested Corridors
• Local Partnership Program
• Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP)
The City expects to be eligible for $1,000,000 from the Prohousing Incentive Program.
Achieving prohousing designation and enacting the policies that will qualify the City for
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF TWO RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTING THE CITY’S APPLICATION TO THE PROHOUSING DESIGNATION PROGRAM AND THE
PROHOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM
designation alignment with the goals and objectives in the City’s 2021-2039 Housing Element, including:
GOAL 1: Provide opportunities for the development of suitable housing to meet the diverse needs of existing and future residents.
POLICY 1.4 Provide for housing for people with special needs, including people with disabilities, large households, and seniors, through the use of zoning incentives, dedication of funding, and flexible and/or objective design standards.
GOAL 2: Maintain and enhance the quality of existing housing and residential neighborhoods and provide greater housing stability for households at all income levels.
POLICY 2.5 Promote quality rental housing and strategies to address substandard conditions of units. Establish procedures to use the City’s existing Code Enforcement program to hold landlords accountable for rental housing repairs. Dedicate funding to rental housing rehabilitation and connect owners of rental properties with code violations with funding programs.
GOAL 3: Minimize the impact of governmental constraints on the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing.
POLICY 3.2 Reduce barriers to building new housing and amend the Zoning Code and other ordinances to allow for more flexibility and faster processing time.
Furthermore, applying for the Prohousing Incentive Program grant aligns with several Housing Element actions to seek funding for affordable housing:
Action 4-1. Rehabilitation Grants and Loans
The Home Repair Program and the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program have lacked funding in recent years, but the city will allocate CDBG and HOME funding to them, and will seek additional funding to assist more households.
Action 5-2. Preservation of At-Risk Units
When available, the City will utilize resources such as HOME funds, CDBG funds, Project-Based Vouchers, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Programs and other state or federal funding sources to stimulate private developer and non¬ profit entity efforts in the preservation of housing for lower-income households.
Action 5-4. Rental Housing Rehabilitation
Apply for additional funding to preserve the existing stock of affordable and market-rate rental housing, including providing loans, grants, and/or rebates to owners of rental properties to make needed repairs and rehabilitation of property.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF TWO RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTING THE CITY’S APPLICATION TO THE PROHOUSING DESIGNATION PROGRAM AND THE
PROHOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Action 13-2. Homeless Services and Housing
To address the local and regional need for homeless services and housing, the City will administer programs and funding, including
•
The City will seek new funding for the development and operation of emergency shelters, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and emergency housing assistance. Potential new funding sources include Project Homekey, and the Continuum of Care program.
Application
The Prohousing Designation application consists of five elements:
1. A formal resolution authorizing a jurisdiction to apply for a Prohousing Designation
2. The City’s proposed policy completion schedule
3. The City’s project proposal scoring sheet
4. Examples of enhancement factors
5. Supporting documentation
There are also threshold requirements that include having a certified Housing Element, engaging in a public participation process, complying with applicable state housing law related to the Permit Streamlining Act and CEQA, and demonstrated adherence to the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness "7 Principles of Addressing Encampments.” The core of the Prohousing Designation Program application is focused on Appendix 3, the jurisdiction’s project proposal scoring sheet. There are four categories in which jurisdictions receive points. The four categories include:
1. Favorable Zoning and Land Use
2. Acceleration of Housing Production Timeframes
3. Reduction of Construction and Development Costs
4. Providing Financial Subsidies
A minimum of 30 points must be reached to achieve Prohousing Designation across the four categories. There are also enhancement factors, where each category can receive extra points if policies in the four categories align with state priorities, such as, but not limited to, mitigating climate change, promoting fair housing, and preventing displacement. Points are received for both enacted and proposed policies. Proposed policies must be implemented within two years of application submittal.
Application Process
The City will make the Prohousing Designation Program application (Attachment C) available to the public for the required 30 days following approval of Resolution 2024-26. During that time, the City will consider any written comments on the
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF TWO RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTING THE CITY’S APPLICATION TO THE PROHOUSING DESIGNATION PROGRAM AND THE
PROHOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM
application and revise, if necessary, before submitting the formal application to HCD for review. The application will be posted at the City’s website (https://hpca.QOv/847/Prohousinq-Desiqnation-Program) and the Housing Element project website (https://huntinqtonparkqpupdates.com/housinq-element/).
Once the public review period is complete, City staff will submit the completed Prohousing Designation Program application to HCD for its official review.
The City will also apply for the Prohousing Incentive Program, as authorized by Resolution 2024-27. Achieving Prohousing Designation status is a threshold requirement for the Prohousing Incentive Program. The City’s preliminary application for the Prohousing Incentive Program is attached as Attachment D.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
There will be no fiscal impact resulting from the City’s submittal of an application to the Prohousing Designation Program. Becoming Prohousing Designated will make the city eligible or more competitive for many state grant programs.
CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval of the resolutions, staff will proceed with the actions authorized by the resolutions and submit both the Prohousing Designation Program and Prohousing Incentive Program applications by December 31, 2024.

Category 2N demonstrates alignment
with Enhancement Category 2
because the proposed adaptive reuse
ordinance meets part (a) of
Government Code Section 65041.1,
which demonstrates that state
planning priorities are "To promote
infill development and equity by
rehabilitating, maintaining, and
improving existing infrastructure that
supports infill development and
appropriate reuse and redevelopment
of previously developed, underutilized
land that is presently served by
transit, streets, water, sewer, and
other essential services, particularly
in underserved areas, and to
preserving cultural and historic
resources."
Flexible adaptive reuse regulations
would enable infill development in
transit-rich areas, lower the cost of
development, and therefore create
affordable housing opportunities for
people who weren’t previously able to
access parts of the city with access to
high-quality transit.

Each Jurisdiction’s response to homelessness is based on the unique needs of the population they serve. Based on these efforts, the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness’ 7 Principles for Addressing Encampments provides best practice guidance to support communities as they develop and implement a comprehensive response to encampments. Please provide a response on how the Jurisdiction meets each of the principles noted below. Attach and reference any supporting documentation along with the page numbers accordingly.
• Principle 1: Establish a Cross-Agency, Multi-Sector Response to Encampments (Describe how system partners work together. Attach communication and coordination plans. 350 characters max) Members of the Huntington Park Police Department (HPPD) Special Emergency Response Team (SERT), in collaboration with patrol officers, public works personnel, county health departments, and Inner City Visions (ICV). identify areas frequented by individuals experiencing homelessness. Their operations take a layered approach, providing social services and shelter options for those who seek them, while also addressing blight caused by encampments and removing bulky trash. (Attachment A) • Principle 2: Engage Encampment Residents to Develop Solutions (Describe street outreach efforts to engage with encampment residents to find alternative shelter, housing, and service options before an existing encampment is closed. 350 characters max)
Individuals identified and pre-screened by our Street Outreach and Supportive Services Team will receive a warm handoff to one of our case managers. The case manager will assess the individual’s needs and develop an Individualized Housing and Transition Plan with input from the unhoused individual or family. Case managers will also act as advocates and liaisons to ensure that the individual receives necessary services and benefits, including housing from partnering organizations.
• Principle 3: Conduct Comprehensive and Coordinated Outreach (Describe multidisciplinary connection strategies and linkages to resources and permanent housing solutions. If applicable, describe how the jurisdiction uses the coordinated entry system to connect individuals to resources and permanent housing. 350 characters max)
We have collaborative efforts in place with LAHSA, PATH, Hotline Youth Counseling, Jovenes Inc., The Whole Child. Salvation Army Bell Shelter. SCHARP. Whittier First. Proyecto Pastoral. DMH H.O.M.E. Team, and Union Rescue Mission to ensure that eligible participants needing housing assistance are entered into the HMIS system
• Principle 4: Address Basic Needs and Provide Storage (Describe efforts to meet basic needs, health, safety, and access to storage for people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. 350 characters max)
Our collaborative efforts have enabled us to provide hygiene kits, snack packs, and hot meals to unsheltered individuals. We partner with Baby2Baby to meet family needs such as diapers, wipes, formula, socks, and blankets Wa also collaborate with The Salvation Army for hot meals and with— Showers of Hope for individuals requesting bathing facilities. The Department of Health Services provides mobile clinic assistance for those with medical needs Rev 4/8/24
• Principle 5: Ensure Access to Shelter or Housing Options (Include a list of shelter or housing options, such as transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, emergency shelters, etc., within the jurisdiction and/or accessible within nearby communities. Also, indicate the shelter/housing name, address, target population and funding sources applied towards the development(s).) Shelter/Housinq Name

• Principle 6: Develop Pathways to Permanent Housing and Supports (Describe Housing First strategies emphasizing low barriers, a harm-reduction model, and services to support people obtaining permanent housing more efficiently. Identify efforts to align federal, state, and local funding/programs to provide clear pathways to permanent housing. 350 characters max) We have partnered with agencies such as The Whole Child, LAHSA - Problem Solving, DPSS, and BAKS Investments to support participants with financial rental assistance. This includes helping Section 8 voucher holders with permanent housing, first month’s rent, and security deposits. (Attachment A) This innovated use of outlined resources can be seen through one of our success stories. (Attachment B) • Principle 7: Create a Plan for What Will Happen to Encampment Sites After Closure (Describe plans for former encampment spaces. Include efforts to emphasize safety, accessibility, and inclusivity that improve infrastructure. Example: Communities can include curb cuts to increase mobility access and enhanced lighting to encourage safety. 350 characters max) The clan after an encampment site closure is to monitor the locations and offer resources through the Huntington Park Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) and Inner City Visions (ICV) for individuals who return to the site. The Public Works team removes trash and debris and continues monitoring the site to discourage the creation of new encampments. The Code Enforcement learn contacts property owners to ensure they are also monitoring and reporting any re-establishment of encampments Rev 4/8/24

Success Story: A Path to Redemption
During a HOST night—a collaborative outreach effort between the HPPD SERMENTTeam and Inner City Visions (ICV)—we encountered a man known only as Resident X. Mr. X was strugglingwith a severe addiction to methamphetamine and had a troubled history with a localgang.
After several visits from the Helpline Youth Counseling (HYC) team, Mr. X made the pivotal decision to enter a rehabilitation facility. Initially hesitant, he eventually agreed to stay for detox and extended his commitment to a 30-day program. However, he exceeded expectations, remainingin rehab for three months.
As Mr. X neared the end of his stay, he reached out to ICV for support in his transition back into society. We facilitated a referral to the Salvation Army BellShelter, where he was admitted and began a new chapter in his life.
Over the course of a year at the shelter, Mr. X achieved remarkable milestones. He completed his GED through our referral to the 5 Keys continued education program and crafted his first work resume with the help of ICV staff. Motivated and determined, he began applyingfor jobs, and his hard work paid off when he was hired by the City of Huntington Park’s maintenance department. In his own words, he said,“I clean up allthe graffiti I used to create,” reflecting on the profound change in his life.
With newfound stability, Mr. X moved out of the shelter and into his very first apartment.
Inspired by his journey, he expressed a strong desire to give back to the community that helped him. He approached ICV with a wish to volunteer and reach out to those still facing the struggles he once did.
Mr. X’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of community support in the journey of recovery.

City Council Agenda Report
November 4, 2024
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 ADOPTION OF THE RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Conduct a public hearing to review and discuss the proposed Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
2. Take public testimony regarding the ordinance.
3. Waive first reading and introduce Ordinance establishing rent stabilization measures for the City of Huntington Park.
4. Schedule the second reading and adoption of the ordinance for the November 18, 2024, meeting.
BACKGROUND
Rent stabilization and tenant protection ordinances have existed at the local level in some California cities since the 1970’s. Prior to existing law, local governments were able to enact such ordinances with few constraints specifically imposed by state law. In 1995, however, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (1995) (the “Costa-Hawkins Act”) introduced three significant limitations. First, it exempted certain types of rental units from local rental stabilization (most notably single-family homes and condominiums). Second, it exempted units build after the February 1, 1995, effective date of the Costa-Hawkins Act. Third, it prohibited “vacancy control”—referring to regulations aimed at curving the amount a landlord may charge for a new lease of a vacant unit. Under the Costa-Hawkins Act, a landlord is not restricted in the amount of rent charged in a new lease.
On January 1, 2020, rent stabilization and tenant eviction protections became state law and tool effect with the enactment of the Tenant Protections Act. The Tenant Protection Act includes significant provisions, including but not limited to the following:
• Application to units that are more than 15 years old;
RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE
November 4, 2024
• Application to single-family homes and condominiums if those units are owned by a real estate trust or corporation;
• Establishes a ceiling or cap on rent increases in a 12-month period of 5% plus inflation –a local Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) not to exceed 10%; • It codifies definitions of “at-fault” and “no-fault” evictions and establishes that when a tenant is evicted under a “no fault” cause, the tenant shall receive compensation equivalent to one (1) month’s rent;
• Establishes that the Tenant Protection Act sunsets on January 1, 2030; and • Requires no local enforcement, and disputes are left to the resolved among the parties through the legal system.
Through the community engagement process, many local residents, particularly those in low-income households have expressed their struggles with paying for the rising costs of housing and meeting other basic needs such as food, transportation, and health care.
The effect of high rents coupled with low incomes, critical shortages of affordable housing, and the rapidly rise of costs for other basic necessities leaves residents vulnerable to economic hardship, housing insecurity and displacement, threatening the public safety, and welfare of the City’s residents. The proposed Rent Stabilization Ordinance is intended to provide stability with respect to rent increases and housing by establishing additional tenant protections exceeding those set forth in state law.
Cities in California can no longer adopt full rent control, which would regulate the amount of initial rent, due to the Costa-Hawkins Act. Instead, cities which choose to act, must focus on rent stabilization which protects tenants during the tenancies by limiting how much the rent by be increased each year.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
At the August 20, 2024, City Council meeting, a motion was made and passed unanimously directing staff to conduct internal research using all available methods to provide a report and feasibility study for a rent stabilization plan within 60 days. In response, the proposed Rent Stabilization Ordinance aims to address housing affordability and promote tenant stability while ensuring landlords receive a fair return on their investments.
The proposed Rent Stabilization Ordinance includes provisions for:
• Exceptions for those properties protected under state and/or federal law, including units, spaces and residents covered under mobile home state laws. • Rent caps set at 3% per year or CPI, whichever is lower, with one increase allowed every 12 months.
• Capital improvement pass-throughs, allowing landlords to recover 50% of approved improvement costs over a minimum of five years. • Just-cause or “at-fault” eviction protections, requiring landlords to provide a valid reason, notice, and an opportunity to tenants to cure alleged violations. • Allows for “no-fault” evictions with buyout offers/options protecting tenants by providing them with proper notice, ability to reject offers and offers two months’ rent as relocation assistance.
RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE
November 4, 2024
• Security deposit limits in accordance with Section 1950.5 of the Civil Code. • Mandatory annual registration of rental units to ensure compliance and accurate data collection.
• Enforcement mechanisms, including the ability of the City to issue administrative citations, civil and criminal penalties of up to $1,000 per violation. • Establishment of an appeal and hearing process for final decisions made by the City, including the process of designating of an impartial hearing officer. • Ability for Landlords and Tenants to seek administrative and judicial review for any alleged violation of the Chapter.
This measure has been developed following feedback from neighboring cities like Bell Gardens, Cudahy, Maywood, Santa Ana, and Santa Monica, and aligns with the City Council’s goals of promoting housing security and community stability. On October 25, 2024, the City of Huntington Park published a notice in the local newspaper regarding the public hearing scheduled for November 4, 2024. The publication date was at least 10 days prior to the hearing, fulfilling the city’s noticing requirements as mandated by municipal code and applicable state law. Additionally, the City’s Department of Communications and Community Relations supplemented the public outreach by utilizing the city’s social media platforms and public email communications to ensure broader community awareness.
LEGAL REQUIREMENT
The proposed ordinance complies with current state laws, including the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act and the Ellis Act. The proposed ordinances have been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office to ensure legal compliance.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Funding for the implementation and administration of the rent stabilization program will be refined through a comprehensive fee study. The program will be self-sustained by revenues generated from the landlord registry fee, ensuring that operational costs are covered without additional financial burden on the city’s general fund.
CONCLUSION
Upon City Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions, including implementing the ordinance, conducting outreach, and ensuring compliance.
Respectfully submitted,
RICARDO REYES

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 31, 2024
To: Ricardo Reyes, City Manager, City of Huntington Park From: Chu Thai, Partner, Revenue & Cost Specialists
Subject: Rent Stabilization Program Cost Feasibility
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
RCS discussed with City Manager Ricardo Reyes about the City’s objectives and needs for a Rent Stabilization Program (RSP) Cost Feasibility study. RCS reviewed the proposed Ordinance to determine the effectiveness and potential impact to the City. RCS conducted a thorough review of the City’s property tax database to determine eligibility or exemption from the RSP.
Based on our experience and analysis of Huntington Park data, we determined that the City’s proposed Rent Stabilization Ordinance is reasonable. RCS suggests a program budget target between $740,000 to $920,000, allowing the City to dedicate 4-6 full-time employees, or full-time equivalent using a greater combination of full-time and part-time staffing. The target rental registration fee would be $120-156 per dwelling units, paid by the landlords.
BACKGROUND
Introduction and Scope of Project
On Friday, October 4, 2024, RCS received a phone call between Huntington Park City Manager, Ricardo Reyes asking about RCS’ experience with rent stabilization programs. Mr. Reyes plans to present a draft Rent Stabilization Ordinance to the City Council and wants to evaluate the cost feasibility of such program.
Within the past two years, RCS has completed rent stabilization cost studies for the cities of Santa Ana, Bell Gardens, Maywood and Cudahy, and suggested producing a cost feasibility memorandum, outlining the impact, cost and comparison of Huntington Park’s program.
Mr. Reyes directed RCS to being the project immediately and emailed the draft ordinance to RCS.
Shortly after a spreadsheet of Huntington Park’s property tax records were also provided to RCS. The majority of RCS’s work was to thoroughly review the draft ordinance and property tax data.
This project turnaround is quick, taking several weeks to complete, while a typical rent stabilization fee study would take several months. The contents of this memorandum is enough to provide direction to the City, however more work is needed to create the program and collect fees.

Mapping out the Rent Stabilization Program tasks helps readers visualize the amount of work that is expected of staff. It also helps to identify typical tasks that are not included within the proposed Ordinance and tasks that may lack clarity.
Huntington Park’s proposed Ordinance is a good foundation for a successful rent stabilization program, however RCS can see future updates will help clarify some of the policies and processes.
One part of a rent control ordinance that many cities grapple with is the decision to exempt or include two-unit properties from the program. Many cities also rely on the administrative citation process to enforce compliance to the rent stabilization programs, but these citation process tend to be time consuming and not cost effective.
Reviewed Eligible Units Within Parcel Tax Data
City staff provided RCS with a complete property tax database for the City of Huntington Park, which included the situs address, mailing address, property owner name, parcel number, original year built, living area square footage, lot square footage, use code description, and a unit count, for each parcel.
The database categorizes every Huntington Park parcel into the following land use categories:
• Commercial • Government Owned • Industrial • Institutional • Miscellaneous • Recreational • Residential • Vacant
From the complete list of parcels within the City, RCS reviewed Huntington Park’s Ordinance to determine which properties are eligible under the proposed Rent Stabilization Program, as well as units exempt from the Program. While other cities have some unique program eligibility and registration exemption language, Huntington Park’s program is straightforward and easy to understand and enforce:
Eligible and Must Register for Rent Stabilization Program:
Properties with 3 or more dwelling units are eligible and require registration to the RSP Mobile home rental unit or space
Exempt from Rent Stabilization Program:
Dwelling units with a certificate of occupancy issued after February 1, 1995 are exempt Accommodation in hotels, motels, inns, and other short-term housing are exempt Hospitals, religious facilities, care facilities and subsidized housing are exempt Single family residents, condominiums and townhomes are generally exempt Uncertainty:
? Two-unit properties where the owner occupies one as their primary residence are exempt from the City’s Rent Stabilization Program. However, the City will need to annually review these two-unit properties to ensure that the owner is still occupying the property.
? Some properties categorized as condominiums or townhomes may be operating as apartments, and City staff will need to make a determination of their Rent Stabilization Program eligibility.
? It is unclear if senior housing is eligible or exempt from the RSP ? It is assumed that long-term rental of a bedroom or house sharing is exempt 4 | P a g e
RCS reviewed just about every property to determine program eligibility. Properties within the Government Owned and Vacant categories were quickly counted as exempt, as well as properties newer than 1995. RCS used online map imagery and online search for questionable properties. For instance, we were able to get the correct unit count from using mapping imagery and found some motels listed themselves online as an apartment. RCS reviewed properties where the use description (e.g. 3 Units) differ from the Unit count (e.g. 5).
Based on comprehensive analysis of the data, RCS estimates that 6,499 housing units are covered under the Rent Stabilization Program Ordinance. Rental units in Huntington Park are found mostly in residential properties, with a few under the commercial category and Store and Residence Use Description. None were found in the other land use categories. A complete list of parcels by category is included as Appendix A in this report.
Table 2: Rent Stabilization Program Eligible Units
A significant factor to the program eligibility are the two-unit properties where the owner resides in one and rents out the other. If the owner decides to vacate his residency and rents out both units, then both properties would be covered by the Rent Stabilization Program. RCS identified 1,429 such units, and reviewing the eligibility of these units annually would take a significant amount of staff resources. RCS included the 1,429 units identified as exempt-annual application within the 6,499 eligible units.
The City may consider a one-time review of other properties to verify exemption, based on the age, categorization or use. RCS identified 432 units. These are marked for one-time review, because their status would not change.
Table 3: Possible Exempt Units
Itwill be a significant task for the City to enforce rental registration and achieve a good citywide count of rental units. However, such information is necessary to the calculation of the rental registration fee, and for the equitable distribution of city costs among the renters and landlords.

Estimated Personnel and Budget
RCS compared Huntington Park to other cities with rent stabilization programs. We compared the cities’ populations, number of rental units, their program budgets, staffing levels, service metrics, and rental registration fees. Based on our comparison and direct experience in these programs, RCS estimates the following for the City.
Table 4: Rent Stabilization Program Estimates
Category Estimate
Staffing Level 4-6 full-time positions
Available Work Hours 6,400 to 9,600 hours per year
Annual Budget $740,000 to $920,00 per year
Rental Registration Fee $120 to $156 per dwelling unit
In the establishment of the program Huntington Park would likely need 1-2 line staff to oversee the rental registration process and assist with public outreach. The program would also have a housing coordinator or management to assist with more technical processes, and proactively develop the program. Next, higher management is needed to communicate goals and establish policies for the program. As the program grows, the City can add code enforcement staffing, and a second administrative clerk, etc.
Below are the typical positions involved in a Rent Stabilization Program. • Administrative Clerk • Administrative Specialist
• Associate/Assistant/Senior Planner • Community Development Director • Code Enforcement Officer • Planning Manager
• RSP Manager • RSP Specialist
The estimated 4-6 full-time employees would translate to 6,400 to 9,600 hours of productivity. When you subtract vacation times, holidays, and average sick time, a typical employee only has 1,600 available work hours within a year. With the estimated 6,499 eligible units, dedicating 4-6 full-time employees (and 6,400 to 9,600 hours) is reasonable. A full fee-study at a later date would solidify this reasoning.

Table 5 from the previous page is a sample of service level metrics from the City of East Palo Alto.
The Huntington Park Pro-Rated column was to have the same levels. Appendix B presents service metrics from other cities.
RCS estimates a budget between $740,000 to $920,000 for Huntington Park’s Rent Stabilization Program. This includes expenses for salaries, benefits, specialized contractual services, general office costs, and citywide overhead.
Separately, the City of Huntington Park is undergoing a complete and comprehensive fee study, which the Finance Department is leading. The aim is to align the findings of this citywide study with the rent stabilization program’s budgetary needs. The comprehensive fee study will finalize the proposed budget and staffing levels, ensuring that both priorities are integrated effectively.
Table 6: Estimated Budget
To fully recover the program costs, the following fees are needed.
For both options, the program exemption fee is based on 1 hour of labor multiplied by the 1,429 units that need to be verified for exemption annually. For the four-employee model, a $120 rental registration fee is needed to fully recover for all expenses. The six employee model requires a registration fee of $156 per unit. Appendix C provides a survey of other rent stabilization programs.

Alameda Landlords are limited to the base rent charged as of 9/1/19 plus the Annual General Adjustment (AGA). For
tenancies beginning after 9/1/19, the base rent is the
initial rent amount. The AGA is calculated using 70% of the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a 1% floor and 5% ceiling. Each year in May the Program
Administrator announces the AGA effective September
1st. A Landlord who does not increase rent by the full
amount allowed annually can "bank" the unused portion
and impose it in a later year. A new AGA of 3.5% went into effect on September 1, 2022. However, special Pandemic
"wind-down" rules apply. See the Alameda Rent Program
FAQ.

Rent (MAR) for any unit is its base rent plus the increase allowed per the annual GA.
In November 2022 voters approved Measure RC, which
caps future general adjustments at 3% beginning
February 2023, and reduces the MAR to .8% through
August 2023 - effectively bringing the 2023 average rent increase to 3%. The city has a helpful webpage for
determining allowable increases here.
