BACKGROUND
The council-manager form is the system of local government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a council or other governing body with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. The form establishes a representative system where all power is concentrated in the elected council and where the council hires a professionally trained manager to oversee the delivery of public services. In council-manager government, council members are the leaders and policymakers elected to represent various segments of the community and concentrate on policy issues responsive to citizens’ needs and wishes. The council appoints the City Manager to carry out policy and ensure the entire community is served.
Section 2-3.405(c) of the Huntington Park Municipal Code (“HPMC”) outlines the powers and duties of the City Manager in the City of Huntington Park, including role, responsibilities, powers, and authority of the City Manager.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING

City Council Agenda Report

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:
TRANSPARENT REVIEW OF UNJUST TRANSFERS AND HOLDS (TRUTH) ACT
COMMUNITY FORUM
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Pursuant to Government Code section 7283.1, present this item as a Community Form to inform members of the public of access to individual(s) granted to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency by the Huntington Park Police Department during 2023; and
2. Receive and file this information provided by the Huntington Park Police Department regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency access to individuals in 2023.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
California’s Transparent Review of Unjust Transfers and Holds (TRUTH) Act (Government Code sections 7283 and 7283.1), requires that a Community Forum be held each calendar year to inform members of the public of information pertaining to access to individuals granted to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency by the Huntington Park Police Department during the preceding year (2022).
Government Code Section 7282, subdivision (d), defines “ICE access” as follows:
“ICE access” means, for the purposes of civil immigration enforcement, including when an individual is stopped with or without their consent, arrested, detained, or otherwise under the control of the local law enforcement agency, all of the following:
(1) Responding to an ICE hold, notification, or transfer request. (2) Providing notification to ICE in advance of the public that an individual is being or will be released at a certain date and time through data sharing or otherwise.

COMMUNITY FORUM
December 2, 2024
(3) Providing ICE non-publicly available information regarding release dates, home addresses, or work addresses, whether through computer databases, jail logs, or otherwise.
(4) Allowing ICE to interview an individual.
(5) Providing ICE information regarding dates and times of probation or parole checkins.
The Huntington Park Police Department (HPPD) maintains jail policy and operating procedures which align with the mandates of the TRUTH Act and all other legal requirements. HPPD’s jail policy Section 414 prohibits any transfer of an inmate to ICE’s custody unless the transfer is in accordance with established law. HPPD does not enforce immigration law and an individual is never arrested or held in custody by HPPD solely on a violation of immigration law. Individual(s) ultimately transferred to ICE custody by HPPD are initially arrested on a local or state charge; and only transferred to ICE custody after a request for transfer by ICE is received; and only after legal qualifying transfer criteria is verified.
REPORTING DATA
In accordance with legal criteria, in 2023 HPPD made no transfers to ICE’s custody.

OTS determines grant funding amounts based on tangible criteria pertaining to the potential positive traffic safety community impact, traffic collision statistics, seriousness of existing traffic-related issues, and performance under previous OTS grants.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Huntington Park is a culturally diverse community with a population of 54,883 (US Census Bureau: 2020). Also included in the US Census study, it's reported that the city of Huntington Park is the 14th most populated city per square mile of the 265 cities in Los Angeles County, averaging 20,223 per square mile. Located approximately ten miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles, this urban area is a mix of single family and multi-unit housing, commercial establishments, light industry, and one major hospital. The city is governed by a mayor and a four-member City Council and has provided local law enforcement services since incorporation in 1906.
In recent years, the Department has noticed a steady number of traffic crashes that have occurred in the city. Since 2021 (423), traffic crashes have slightly increased in 2022 (487 crashes), and significantly increased in 2023 (547 crashes). The number of injured people involved in traffic crashes during the same interval has also remained consistent (approximately 228 injured in 2021) with a significant increase in 2022 (279 injured), and a slight decrease in 2023 (257 injured).
The department has observed (0) fatalities in 2021, with a slight increase in 2022 to three. In 2023, traffic fatalities significantly increased to (6) for the year.
The number of DUI arrests has slowly begun to increase over the past 3 years. In 2021, a total of (106) drivers were arrested for DUI. In 2022, the number of DUI arrests remained consistent from the previous year (106). In 2023, the number of DUI arrests increased to (118). With the OTS grant funding awarded to deploy additional officers to target the days of the week, and times that are most likely to yield a DUI arrest, we have shown a steady increase in DUI arrests.
In addition to the aforementioned increase in traffic crashes and alcohol involved traffic crashes, the city anticipates a significant increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic due to the lack of manpower and focused enforcement during nighttime hours, and an increase in vehicle traffic due to spurring of night-time activities and a push for night life by city officials. There was a total of (28 crashes) nighttime injury traffic crashes in 2021. In 2022, there was an increase to (35 crashes) and a slight decrease to (32 crashes) in 2023.
An increase in traffic crashes combined with the anticipated increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic has led the department to actively seek solutions to increase traffic safety within the community. The department hopes to conduct several traffic enforcement details to reduce the number of traffic crashes and victims by targeting drivers that are engaged in driving habits that have been identified as primary crash factors. This includes speed, driving under the influence, and inattentive/distracted drivers. In the year FY 22/23 we saw an increase in Traffic Officers from 2 officers to 4 officers. In 2023, we have maintained the 1 Motor Officer, 1 Traffic Officer, added a Traffic Sergeant and Traffic Lieutenant. Within the upcoming year, the department anticipates in adding an additional Traffic Officer; making a total of 5 officers assigned to the traffic unit.
The Huntington Park Police Department has seen a significant rise of crashes within the past few years, including a six hundred (600) percent rise in fatal traffic crashes. Speed continues to be a problem in Huntington Park. On average person month the department encounters (3) injury crashes where speed is the primary crash factor. The department issues approximately (26) citations per month for speed which is also due to our focused efforts. The totals for calendar year 2023 were (23) injury crashes and (0) fatal crashes where speed is the primary factor. The department issued (224) speed citations in 2023. Sixty (60) percent of the crashes in 2023 occurred as the result of “unsafe speed,” (based on our statistics). Despite conducting extra patrol enforcement, it has caused little to no effect in reducing the numbers of crashes caused by speeding violations.
The Huntington Park Police Department conducted research in tools that may assist us in this matter and found that a Speed Radar/Message Trailer may have a significant impact in deterring speed violators. The Radar Trailer will be placed in different parts of the city where a high number of crashes occur and will be rotating throughout impacted arras in the city. The Radar Trailer also features a “Message Board” which 10/1/2024 2:30:19 PM Page 4 of 19
would assist our agency with educating the public on road safety, safe driving practices, and any OTS operations. The goal of the Huntington Park Police Department is deterring unsafe driving and create safe roads for our community and our children.

SPECIFIC ASSURANCES
More specifically, and without limiting the above general Assurance, the Recipient agrees with and gives the following Assurances with respect to its Federally assisted Highway Safety Grant Program:
1. The Recipient agrees that each “activity,” “facility,” or “program,” as defined in 49 CFR part 21 will be (with regard to an “activity”) facilitated, or will be (with regard to a “facility”) operated, or will be (with regard to a “program”) conducted in compliance with all requirements imposed by, or pursuant to the Acts and the Regulations.

SECTION 1. It is the policy of the City of Huntington Park (City) not to deny or condition the approval of an application for services to, or reduce the amount of services applied for by, a proposed development that includes housing units affordable to lower-income households, unless the City makes specific written findings that the denial, condition, or reduction is necessary due to the existence of one or more of the following:

payment of necessary fees or charges, and construction of on-site or offsite improvements as needed to serve the proposed development to standards determined by the City.
SECTION 2. In the event of service limitations due to supply, capacity or regulatory constraints, priority for new service connections shall be granted to proposed developments within the City’s jurisdiction that include housing units affordable to lower-income households in accordance with Government Code Section 65589.7 (SB 1087, 2005) and the limitations set forth herein. To be eligible for this priority, the applicant must provide the City with written certification from appropriate federal, state or local agencies that the proposed development includes housing units at an affordable housing cost, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or at an affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code to lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code.
SECTION 3. Application of new service connection priority to any individual proposed development, when such application results in the denial or reduction of new service connections to other non-priority proposed developments, will be based on an engineering and planning analysis which considers all proposed developments and their anticipated demands on the City’s available supply, distribution and treatment capacity and recommends a means of distributing the available capacity in conformance with Government Code Section 65589.7 (SB 1087, 2005) and this policy.
The analysis shall rely in part on the plans, documents and information provided by the applicants for the various proposed developments and the City’s Urban Water Management Plan. The analysis shall be accepted by the City prior to provision of service to any of the proposed developments.
SECTION 4. To the extent practical, the City will develop projected water demands for single-family and multi-family residential housing for lower-income households as identified in the City’s Housing Element in conformance with Section 10631.1 of the Water Code and these projections will be included in the City’s Urban Water Management Plan.
SECTION 5. The City will adopt this policy and any related procedures concurrent with, but separate from, its adoption of updated Urban Water Management Plans which will occur regularly but not less than once every five years.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. - 3 -

2. Requesting City Council’s approval to accept the EECBG Voucher Grant award and directing the Finance Department to establish an account for tracking the funds; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The State of California has mandated that commercial fleets convert to alternative forms of power by 2026 and later depending on the size of the commercial fleet. As such, the City of Huntington Park has begun the conversion to clean energy vehicles and has purchased six (6) electric vehicles. The City may intend to continue this trend in the near future with the purchase of electric vehicles during its upgrade of fleet vehicles as they become “aged out”. The electrical system at the Public Works Yard does not have the capacity to provide power to an electric vehicle charging area currently.
To facilitate on site charging of electric vehicles, plans need to be developed and submitted to Southern California Edison (SCE) for approval to add a transformer dedicated to EV charging. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on July 21, 2024, for qualified engineering firms to prepare plans, specifications, estimate and secure approval from SCE for the on-site charging system. Five (5) proposals were received ranging from a cost of $39,022 to $119,868. One proposal was non-responsive as they did not attach a fee proposal. The selected firm will be tasked with developing detailed plans, specifications and cost estimates and securing the necessary approval from SCE.

Upon CITY’S written request, CONTRACTOR shall also provide CITY with certified copies of all required insurance policies and endorsements.
IV. INDEMNIFICATION
4.1 The Parties agree that CITY and CITY’S elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers (hereinafter, the “CITY Indemnitees”) should, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be protected from any and all loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, cost, expense, attorneys’ fees, litigation costs, or any other cost arising out of or in any way related to the performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the Parties to be interpreted and construed to provide the CITY Indemnitees with the fullest protection possible under the law. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that CITY would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of CONTRACTOR’S commitment to indemnify, defend and protect CITY as set forth herein.
4.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the CITY Indemnitees from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR’S performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement.
4.3 CITY shall have the right to offset against the amount of any compensation due CONTRACTOR under this Agreement any amount due CITY from CONTRACTOR as a result of CONTRACTOR’S failure to pay CITY promptly any indemnification arising under this Article and related to CONTRACTOR’S failure to either (i) pay taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) comply with applicable workers’ compensation laws.
4.4 The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this Article will not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. CONTRACTOR expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to CITY and CITY’S elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers.
4.5 CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this Article from each and every CONTRACTOR or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY and CITY’S elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all claims and losses, costs or expenses for any damage due to death or injury to any person and injury to any property resulting from any alleged intentional, reckless, negligent, or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR’S, SUB-CONTRACTOR or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by counsel of CITY’S choice.
4.6 CITY does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against CONTRACTOR because of the acceptance by CITY, or the deposit with CITY, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. This hold harmless and indemnification provision shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the claim, demand, damage, liability, loss, cost or expense.

C. CITY shall cure any Event of Default asserted by CONTRACTOR within forty-five (45) calendar days of CONTRACTOR’S issuance of a Default Notice, unless the Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 45-day cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 45-day cure period, CITY may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CITY has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 45-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, an Event of Default dealing with CITY’S failure to timely pay any undisputed sums to CONTRACTOR as provided under Section 1.4, above, shall be cured by CITY within five (5) calendar days from the date of CONTRACTOR’S Default Notice to CITY.
D. CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also immediately suspend CONTRACTOR’S performance under this Agreement pending CONTRACTOR’S cure of any Event of Default by giving CONTRACTOR written notice of CITY’S intent to suspend CONTRACTOR’S performance (hereinafter, a “Suspension Notice”). CITY may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon such suspension, CONTRACTOR shall be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONTRACTOR to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY shall operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY’S ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.
E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.
F. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.

February. Scarify and add Angel Mix as needed. Las Add Hilltopper mound clay as needed. Salt Lake Park detaching the perimeter of the infield (2' from the infield edge) and around the warning track of fields once (1) per year.
Laser Leveling -Annually, starting on the second week of December of 2025.
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 top½", 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 Hilltopper 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 topdressing 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 P a g e | 12

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 thelanding area).

Field Turf Maintenance Guidelines- Salt Lake Park Bermuda Grass maintenance (April – October)
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 of½"-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 lbs. per 1000 square feet or an additional application of ½ lb. per 1000 square feet can be applied two weeks following the 1 lb. 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 Julythis 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 turf 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 isnot anoption then core aerating to a minimum of 3" is recommended. Cores must be collected from the field at the conclusion of each work day.
