RE: Irwindale’s failure to timely adopt a Sixth Cycle Housing Element.
Dear Ms. Simpson:
Californians for Homeownership is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that uses impact litigation to address California’s housing crisis. We are monitoring local compliance with the law governing housing elements. Our understanding is that the City has not adopted a sixth cycle housing element, which it was required to do by October 15, 2021.1 It also missed the second compliance deadline of February 12, 2022, subjecting it to additional penalties.2 We are currently preparing for litigation against cities that have not timely adopted housing elements, like yours.
In light of the City’s failure to timely adopt its housing element, our organization could immediately sue the City under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1085 to compel it to adopt a compliant housing element.3 As a result of this litigation, in addition to being ordered to adopt a housing element on a short timeline,4 the City could also face a number of serious penalties. For example, the court could suspend all non-residential permitting,5 or could judicially approve housing development projects within the City.6 And the court could impose these penalties while the litigation is pending, even before reaching a final decision.7 Housing element litigation is given priority in the court system,8 and a successful plaintiff can obtain attorneys’ fees under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1021.5. Indeed, in a recent case involving the City of Huntington Beach’s housing element, a court awarded another non-profit organization over $3.5 million in fees.9 The purpose of this letter is to offer the City a pathway to avoid immediate litigation by our organization. Enclosed is an Acknowledgment that sets forth some of the penalties to which the City is currently subject in light of the City’s failure to adopt a housing element. If the City signs and returns the Acknowledgment, we will not initiate litigation against the City at this time. 1 Gov. Code § 65588(e)(3).
2 Gov. Code §§ 65583(c)(1)(A), 65583.2(c), and 65588(e)(4)(C). 3 Gov. Code §§ 65587, 65751.
4 Gov. Code § 65754.
5 Gov. Code § 65755(a)(1).
6 Gov. Code § 65755(a)(4).
7 Gov. Code § 65757.
8 Gov. Code § 65752.
9 https://www.communitylegalsocal.org/kennedy-commission-awarded-3-5-million-in-attorneys-fees-for-advocacyin-huntington-beach-low-income-housing-case/ March 7, 2022
We ask that you return the Acknowledgement by March 14, 2022. If you decline to do so, understand that we may initiate litigation against the City, using the City’s refusal to acknowledge these basic requirements of state housing law to demonstrate the existence of a dispute necessitating judicial intervention. As part of the litigation, we would likely seek a judicial declaration that the City is subject to the same penalties described in the Acknowledgment, among other remedies. We have dedicated in-house resources sufficient to maintain at least 10 simultaneous housing element lawsuits as part of our commitment to enforcing this important aspect of state housing law.
We look forward to receiving the signed Acknowledgment. If you would like to discuss any of this with me, please do not hesitate to give me a call at (213) 739-8206.
Sincerely,
Matthew Gelfand

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The City of Irwindale hereby acknowledges that it has not timely adopted a sixth cycle revised housing element of its general plan within the deadline set forth in Government Code Section 65588, and that its housing element is therefore not in substantial compliance with Article
10.6 of the Government Code. As a result, the City is subject to the following:
1. Pursuant to Government Code Sections 65583(c)(1)(A), 65583.2(c), and 65588(e)(4)(C), the City will be required to complete any rezoning required under housing element law in connection with the City’s sixth cycle housing element by October 15, 2022.
2. The City is currently prohibited from rejecting housing development projects based on subdivisions (d)(1) and (d)(5) of the Housing Accountability Act (HAA), Government Code Section 65589.5. The City acknowledges that this means that, unless another exception within subdivision (d) applies, the City is prohibited from using its general plan and zoning standards to reject a proposal that meets the affordability requirements described in subdivision (h)(3) of the HAA.
The public, including without limitation any applicant to develop any project involving residential units, may rely on this Acknowledgment as the City’s binding commitment to comply with the provisions of state law described above.

She then suggested that each employee's performance be reviewed before reclassifying them.
Dena Zepeda complained that this matter has been heard on several occasions by the Council, complained about staff pay, and made allegations of theft against staff.
Carmen Roman complained that a housing applicant has received calls from several staffers instead of just one. She also requested that each Councilmember call her to justify the proposed staffing reclassifications. ·
Suzanne Gomez suggested that the reclassifications wait until the mid-year budget review.

Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz made a motion to discuss each
reclassification individually. The motion died due to a lack of a second.
Responding to several questions by Councilmember Ortiz, Manager Hull advised that the amount of $305k listed in the staff report for the Police Captain position is the fully burdened amount, which includes salary and benefits. She noted that the base salary for the position is $145k.
Councilmember Ortiz suggested that the reclassifications be postponed until after the mid-year budget review.
As requested by Mayor Burrola, Manager Hull discussed the fully burdened yearly amounts for the four proposed reclassifications.
Mayor Burrola agreed that the reclassifications should wait until after the mid-year budget review.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ortiz, seconded by Mayor Burrola, to postpone this matter until after the mid-year budget review.
Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz suggested the possibility of approving two Police Lieutenant positions instead of one Police Captain position.
The above-mentioned motion was unanimously approved.
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AMENDING THE
COMPENSATION PLAN
Manager Hull presented the staff report and clarified that the resolution would include the City Manager's salary as specified in the City Manager's contract, and that it would not include the funding for the reclassifications that were just postponed to the mid-year budget review.
In reply to a question by Councilmember Breceda, Manager Hull indicated that the salary for the new City Manager will be included in this resolution, which is a necessary step when updating CalPERS, since CalPERS would only recognize the salary resolution, and not the City Manager contract salary amount.
Councilmember Ortiz noted that the draft resolution includes the four reclassified positions that were just postponed, to which Manager Hull advised that the resolution would be revised to remove them.
As requested by Mayor Burrola, Manager Hull explained the "Y" rating detailed in the draft resolution included with the staff report.

Councilmember Breceda noted Councilmember Garcia's request that the Council consider allowing other groups, such as local schools, to conduct fireworks sales, to which City Manager Miranda stated that the request could be placed on the agenda for discussion at the next meeting.
Carmen Roman stated that she looked forward to all city residents getting together for a picnic, and suggested that schools sell their fireworks outside of the city so that the usual non-profit groups may sell theirs in Irwindale.
Dena Zepeda stated that Irwindale residents that live near the Duarte area are unable to watch the annual fireworks show from their homes.
She also supported the suggestion to have a citywide picnic but questioned why it would be scheduled a week from the 4th of July.
She spoke in favor of getting together with her neighbors on the 4th of July. She concurred that the usual non-profits continue setting up booths for fireworks sales and that outside groups sell outside of Irwindale.
Linda Marez agreed that a community picnic should be held to encourage attendance by city residents to help non-profit groups with their fundraisers.
Megan Zepeda suggested basing the fireworks show at the Skate Park.
Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz suggested keeping the same schedule as usual, or perhaps condensing the hours of the event. He spoke on the importance of the holiday and the need to keep and observe history and celebrations.
Councilmember Ortiz noted the information contained in the staff report and the recommendation by the Parks & Recreation Commission, and suggested implementing all three events described in the staff report.
Responding to a question by Councilmember Ortiz, Director Rodriguez advised that staff's recommendation includes holding only a fireworks show on the 4th of July, similar to what was done last year.

Mayor Burrola thanked staff and the Parks & Recreation Commission for their input, and concurred that efforts should be made to help the community get together. He suggested developing a policy of reserving a specific area of the park for residents only so that they could have a prime location to view the fireworks show, to which City Attorney Guerra advised that staff would need to look into the request.
In response to a question by Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, Director Rodriguez advised that the park and pool will remain open to all on the 4th of July.
A motion was made by Mayor Burrola, seconded by Councilmember Ortiz, to approve: 1) one additional concert for Music in the Park the week of the 4th of July, 2) a Community Independence Day Picnic the Saturday prior to the 4th of July, and 3) a Fireworks Spectacular show on the 4th of July.

could be cited for repeat violations. Misdemeanor offenses could be fined up to $500 and offenders may serve up to six months in jail.
Replying to a question by Councilmember Ortiz, Lieutenant Fraijo advised that officers attempt to gain compliance with the noise ordinance through voluntary means. However, when this does not occur, the officers have authority to issue citations if they need to return to the area.
Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz asked about instruments used to measure noise levels, to which Lieutenant Fraijo stated that staff possesses these instruments, though they would need to be calibrated if they are to be used more often. He added that Code Enforcement staff would also assist with noise concerns.
TEMPORARY HOMELESS HOUSING DISCUSSION (Requested by
Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz)
Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz noted his and Councilmember Ortiz's participation in an ad hoc committee along with the cities of Duarte and Azusa to address homelessness along the San Gabriel Valley Riverbed. He noted the complexities in addressing the crisis and advised that he is expected to present a report at the next ad hoc committee meeting regarding lrwindale's activities, and requested input by staff.
Mayor Burrola also spoke on the difficulties encountered when addressing homelessness, noted that Baldwin Park has received grant funds to develop bridge housing for the homeless, and asked whether the Council would be interested in implementing something similar in Irwindale.
Councilmember Breceda noted that participating cities also seem to be hesitant to set up housing for the homeless in their cities due to the spike in fires that occur at homeless encampments. He stated, however, that something needs to be done to address the growing problem of homelessness.
Councilmember Ortiz noted that the three cities have been dialoguing for three years in an effort to determine a solution. He noted that the City of Azusa has done a great job of cleaning the riverbed, although the homeless have since relocated from the riverbed to the Santa Fe Dam. He stated that, should it be decided to build housing in Irwindale, funds for such a project would also need to be identified, especially funding from county, state, and federal levels.
Councilmember Breceda suggested reaching out to Supervisor Solis'

Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz agreed that funding from the county, state, and federal levels would be needed. He also spoke on funding that the Army Corps of Engineers received to address the situation. He then suggested that staff develop suggestions and report to the Council.
City Manager Miranda advised that staff could look into the request along with the City Attorney and present its findings to the Council at the next meeting.
Councilmember Ortiz requested that updates on the status of the vacant units at the Las Casitas Senior Apartment Complex and the parking lots on Morada Street also be presented. He also noted that he has received many complaints about speeding cars on Irwindale Avenue and Cypress Street, and requested that Lieutenant Fraijo present an update at the next meeting regarding enforcement measures to deter speeding.
Councilmember Ortiz also asked about the availability of patrol officers, to which Lieutenant Fraijo advised that the motorcycle officer works Tuesdays through Thursdays during the day. However, there have been an increase in fatal traffic collisions that take time to investigate, which has tied up the officer's time.
Councilmember Ortiz also requested that consideration be given to hiring an additional motorcycle officer. He also asked about barricades at the intersection of Cypress and Azusa Canyon Road, to which Director Rodriguez advised that these temporary barricades are filled with water and will remain until the guardrails are built.
Councilmember Ortiz expressed his appreciation in the use of the highly-visible barriers, and suggested potentially leaving something similar to use in combination with the guardrails, to which Director Rodriguez said that staff will look into the request and wilHurther analyze Caltrans requirements.
City Manager Miranda noted that staff needed to search for special counsel to cover an appeal that was received from an applicant whose application for a vacant Las Casitas apartment was rejected, to which Councilmember Ortiz voiced his displeasure that the apartments have been vacant for almost a year.
There being no further business to conduct, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m., in memory of Ricardo Miranda and Frank and "Licha" Perez.

Background and Analysis:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared the existence of a state of emergency for the State of California in response to an outbreak of a respiratory illness known as a coronavirus ("COVID-19"). On March 4, 2020, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Department of Public Health declared a local and public health emergency in response to the increased spread of COVID-19 across the country.
On March 18, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-18-3178, pursuant to Chapter 2.44 of the Irwindale Municipal Code, confirming the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency due to COVID-19, as declared by the City's Director of Emergency Services on March 12, 2020.
On May 13, 2020 (Resolution No. 2020-32-3137), July 22, 2020 (Resolution No. 2020- 58-3218), September 9, 2020 (Resolution No. 2020-71-3231), October 28, 2020 (Resolution No. 2020-81-3241), January 10, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021-02-3264), March 10, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021-22-3234), April 28, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021-26-3248), June 23, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021-57-3269), August 25, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021- 70-3282), and October 13, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021-90-3302), December 8, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021-124-3246), and January 26, 2022 (Resolution No. 2022-08-3257), the City Council reviewed and extended the local emergency due to the continued existence of conditions of extreme peril caused by the effects of COVID-19.
While Los Angeles County's coronavirus metrics had been steadily dropping and the State has reopened, it is recommended that the City Council extend the local emergency for an additional period of 60 days to continue to make resources available to address the continuing effects ofCOVID-19.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact at this time in approving the 60-day extension of the COVID-19 local emergency.

Background and Analysis
The current Irwindale City Employees Association ("ICEA") MOU with the City of Irwindale ("City") was set to expire on June 30, 2020. The Parties met and conferred, and agreed to a one-year extension of the duration and terms of the ICEA MOU in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic. On June 18, 2020, ICEA and the City approved Amendment No. 1 to the ICEA MOU, extending the 2016-2020 ICEA MOU, which was approved by the City Council on June 24, 2020. The current ICEA MOU 2016-2021 expired on June 30, 2021. Pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), representatives from the City and ICEA commenced negotiations for a successor MOU in March 2021.
On April 28, 2021, the City Council approved an agreement with Ralph Andersen & Associates to perform a compensation study update to include a survey of all full-time and part-time positions and in addition, review job classifications for certain positions. All parties agreed to suspend negotiations until completion of the study. The results of the compensation study were presented to City Council on November 10, 2021, for receive and file and used to assist the City with current labor negotiations.
Based on the progress made to date, the City has reached a tentative agreement with the ICEA for a three-year term, retroactive from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2024 ("Tentative Agreement). On February 25, 2022, the ICEA membership voted to accept the proposed terms and conditions as stated in the Tentative Agreement, but it remains subject to formal acceptance, approval, and adoption by the City Council, per Government Code Section 3505.1, which provides:
"If a tentative agreement is reached by the authorized representatives of the public agency and a recognized employee organization or recognized employee organizations, the governing body shall vote to accept or reject the tentative agreement within 30 days of the date it is first considered at a duly noticed public meeting. A decision by the governing body to reject the tentative agreement shall not bar the filing of a charge of unfair practice for failure to meet and confer in good faith. If the governing body adopts the tentative agreement, the parties shall jointly prepare a written memorandum of understanding."
This Tentative Agreement is the product of MMBA-mandated meet and confer sessions that took place over the last several months between the City's negotiation team and the ICEA board members representing their unit. During the course of negotiations, management representatives met with the City Council to discuss the status and progress of these talks and received direction on specific items under consideration. The proposed agreement supports the City's goals of balancing continued fiscal responsibility while also ensuring the ability to attract and retain qualified and experienced personnel.
The Tentative Agreement includes the following key proposed changes:
Page2
• Term: July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2024.

Background and Analysis:
In June 2021, the City Council and the Housing Authority Board formally adopted their respective FY 2021-2022 Budgets. Typically, there are additional appropriations approved by the Council/Board for unanticipated items during the fiscal year. The Finance Department has conducted an analysis of the current fiscal year's revenues and expenditures, and evaluated the year-to-date numbers against the approved budget to determine how this year's financial activity is tracking.
As is consistent with prior years, the financial analysis has resulted in the need for certain budget adjustments recommended for the City's General Fund, Mining Impact Fund, AB939 and Capital Improvement Program, as well as the Irwindale Housing Authority's Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund.
Revenues
The City's adopted General Fund Revenue Budget includes $21,401,970 in operating revenues, and $10,382, 170 in capital/one-time revenues, for a total of $31,784, 140 at the start of the fiscal year. During the mid-year financial review, all revenues were analyzed for any changes in trends from what was originally budgeted. At this time, the City's General Fund revenues are not projecting to come within the adopted revenue budget levels.
The City's General Fund Revenue Operating Budget of $21,401,970 includes the primary tax revenue sources. The primary sources include Sales Tax/Measure I, Utility Users' Tax and Mining Taxes. Since Sales Tax increased by approximately 20% to 30%.
Although the economy has taken a significant hit due to COVID-19, it has primarily affected business sectors related to the service industry, such as tourism, hotels and restaurants. For the City, these business sectors make up a very small portion of its tax revenue base. Therefore, the City's primary revenues are tracking to come in at higher levels than previously budgeted. There is one-time revenue expected from Property Tax for the residual from the sale of the 17 acre site that was sold in December 2021. City staff is recommending to increase its revenue budgets by $4, 170, 150 for Sales Tax/Measure I, Property Taxes and Local Taxes.
The City's General Fund Revenue Budget also included $10,382, 170 in capital/one-time revenue related to building permits and plan check revenue for very large developments currently progressing in the City. The financial analysis conducted has confirmed that this one-time revenue is not on track to be realized in FY 2021-2022. The City's Public Works Engineering Department recently informed us that these projects are not being developed in the timeframes anticipated by the developers. This one-time anticipated revenue from engineering will have to be reduced during the mid-year and projected in the next fiscal year fee estimates. Accordingly, at mid-year we need to decrease the one-time revenue by $7,653,870, which will be reduced as a one-time revenue budget adjustment.
The table below lists the budget adjustments recommended for the increase/(decrease) in revenue budgets for the General Fund:

The City's adopted General Fund Expenditure Budget includes $20,699,950 in operating expenditures, $7,257,730 in capital/one-time expenditures and $5,991,400 in transfers to the Capital Projects Fund for capital project expenditures for FY 2021-2022.
In preparing for the mid-year budget review, several City Departments brought forth budget requests for additional items and personnel reclassifications needed in their departments. City management reviewed all requests and verified they are needed and justified.
Finance Staff conducted an in depth analysis of all year-to-date expenditures, and calculated projections through the end of the fiscal year to identify any expenditures that were tracking higher or lower than originally budgeted.
The following table lists the operating and capital/one-lime expenditure budget adjustments for the City Council's consideration.

A classification analysis was performed on certain classifications to ensure the duties performed by employees are within their current job specifications. Based on the analysis performed, many were working out of classification causing for reclassifications being proposed to more accurately reflect the level and scope of work being performed.
Finance Department has been understaffed for years and there has been a need for support staff to continue with all the new laws and deadline requirements. The City has transferred the Housing functions from Administration to the Community Development department. This has increased their work load and there is a need for more support staff in that department.

The FY 2021-2022 Budget was prepared in the spring of 2021, and the enduring impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were still uncertain at that time. As the pandemic has continued, the City has continued to abide by shelter in place and safe distancing orders.
The aquatics pool heater replacement and repairs total to $100,000, of which is funded by the General Fund, and will be transferred out to the capital improvement programs.
The City budgeted $5,991,400 from the General Fund for capital improvement programs.
A few projects will be deferred to the following fiscal year that total to $5,364,000, in which $627,400 will be used in the current fiscal year. Building Permits and Plan Check fees are based on the expected projects during the fiscal year. Unfortunately, some projects were not approved by City Council and some other projects got affected due to COVID or developers' decisions according to Engineering.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Issue: Rent Control Measures
City Manager's Recommendation:
CC Item 2C
It is recommended that the City. Council receive and file this Report or provide other direction to staff.
Administrative Action:
Prepared and Submitted by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney Electronically approved Reviewed by:
Jeanette Duran
Interim Finance Director I City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background:
At the request of Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, this report provides general background for municipal rent control. Regulation of the rent charged for residential rental units (duplexes, multifamily apartment buildings, and mobilehome spaces) is within cities' police power under the California Constitution. (Cal Const. art XI, §5 (charter cities), §7 (general law cities).) However, with few exceptions, units constructed after February 1, 1995, and units that are separately alienable from the title of any other dwelling (singlefamily homes and condominiums) are statutorily exempt from rent regulation. Moreover, cities cannot apply inclusionary zoning ordinances (requiring a percentage of newly constructed housing to be affordable) to rental housing unless the owner agrees by contract in exchange for an incentive. (Palmer/Sixth St. Props. LP v. City of Los Angeles (2009) 175 Cal. App. 4th 1396, 1410.)
A. The Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (Civil Code §§ 1954.50 - 1954.535)
California's Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing ("RHA") provides that, "notwithstanding any other provision of law" the owner of residential property for which a certificate of occupancy issued after 1995 "may establish the initial and all subsequent rental rates." The RHA places limits on municipal rent control ordinances in two major ways: (1) landlords have the right to raise the rent to market rate once a tenant in a rent controlled unit moves out by eliminating vacancy control (known as "vacancy decontrol"); and (2) cities cannot establish rent control - or capping rent - on units constructed after February 1995. (Civil Code §1954.50 et seq.) With certain exceptions, the RHA allows a landlord to increase the rent for an apartment otherwise subject to rent control once it is vacated. (Civil Code §§1954.52-1954.53.) Further, the RHA completely exempts from rent control units: (1) that had already been exempt from rent control by a local ordinance prior to February 1, 1995; and (2) any unit which title is separable from the title to any other dwelling unit or is a subdivided interest in a subdivision (includes most single family homes and condos). The RHA does not apply to mobile home parks.
Because the RHA creates an incentive for landlords to evict tenants paying "belowmarket" rent, so that they can set a new initial rent at current market levels, the RHA expressly preserves the authority of local governments to regulate the grounds for eviction.
An example of a municipal rent control ordinance is the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), which was enacted in 1979. The RSO restricts rent control to units built prior to October 1978. This date is frozen in place by the Costa-Hawkins RHA because it prevents cities from updating ordinances in place at the time of the Act's passage. Thus, Los Angeles officials cannot expand rent control to newer buildings even if they wanted to do so. Under the Los Angeles ordinance, yearly rent increases are capped at 3-8% yearly.
B. The Ellis Act (Gov. Code§§ 7060-7060.7)
The Ellis Act is a limitation on rent control. The Ellis Act gives landlords an absolute right to get out of the "rental business" by converting rental property to a non-rental use or selling the property, which trumps any existing rent stabilization or just-cause eviction laws. There are some conditions, however: (1) this does not apply to some "residential hotels" in large cities; (2) the landlord must evict a// tenants; (3) cities maintain their power to grant or deny any entitlement to use the property in a particular way; (4) cities maintain their power to mitigate adverse impacts on displaced persons, including requiring landlords to provide relocation assistance (within certain limits); (5) any withdrawn accommodations that are re-rented within 5 years of withdrawal will be subject to any existing rent controls as if the units were never taken off the market; (6) withdrawn accommodations re-rented within 2 years of withdrawal will give last-evicted tenants, as well as the municipality, a cause of action for damages against owner; furthermore, if rerented within 2 years of withdrawal, the accommodations must be first offered to lastevicted tenants who gave written notice of a forwarding address at time of eviction (the statute allows municipalities to extend the time period for this right of first refusal to Page2
accommodations re-rented within up to 1 O years after the withdrawal of accommodations). These latter two provisions - (5) and (6) - are designed to thwart efforts by landlords to circumvent rent control by evicting tenants under the false pretense that they want to go out of business, and then re-renting their property at market rates.
So-called "Ellis Act evictions" are often used to convert rental units to condominiums or to convert multi-unit buildings to single-family homes.
C. Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (Civil Code §§1946.2, 1947.12 and 1947.13)
In 2019, California Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1482 to cap rent increases statewide for the next 1 O years. Effective on January 1, 2020, the bill limits annual residential rent increases at 5 percent, plus any rise in the consumer price index, or 10 percent, whichever is lower. However, AB 1482 does not apply to cities that are already regulated by their own local rent control ordinances.
AB 1482 does not apply to all residential dwellings, such as buildings constructed within the past fifteen years. The bill impacts apartments and multi-family buildings containing two or more units, but exempts single-family residences, owner-occupied duplexes, and condominiums, except when owned by corporations or LLC in which at least one member is a corporation.
Discussion:
The following discussion deals with the ability of the City to impose rent control measures.
A. Can the City Impose Rent Control?
Generally speaking, yes. But any rent control measure will be limited in scope as provided by law, as summarized above. For example, the rent control measures can only apply to pre-1995 construction and cannot apply to single family homes or condos. Given the limited housing stock in the City, any rent control measure will, necessarily, affect very few properties.
Rent control is very rare in California. It appears only twenty (20) cities out of the 482 in the state have some form of rent control: Berkeley, Beverly Hills, East Palo Alto, Emeryville, Glendale, Hayward, Los Angeles, Los Gatos, Maywood, Mountain View, Oakland, Palm Springs, Richmond, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Monica, San Jose, Thousand Oaks, Union City, and West Hollywood. Of these, only Palm Springs falls outside of a major metropolitan area.
B. Legal Risks of Imposing Rent Control?
The constitutionality of rent control is settled law. The issues with rent control ordinances pertain more to compliance with statutory and due process requirements than fundamental constitutionality of the regulations as a governmental "taking" of property without just compensation under the state and federal constitutions. Except as modified or restricted by state law, municipal price controls on rent are within the police powers of 01005.00011772349.1 Page 3
a city, if reasonably calculated to eliminate excessive rents while providing landlords with a just and fair reasonable return from their property. A stated objective of preventing excessive and unreasonable rent increases caused by housing shortages is a valid governmental purpose that has been upheld against legal challenge. Additionally, the protection of existing tenants from displacement is, by itself, a legitimate government interest regardless of the income of the tenants.
Nonetheless, any ordinance can be subjected to a legal challenge as unconstitutional, if the ordinance is so restrictive that it precludes any possibility of a fair and reasonable return, if application of the ordinance cannot avoid what amounts to a confiscation of property, or if the ordinance denies a property owner due process. Further, any ordinance that does not recognize the numerous statutory restrictions of state law is subject to challenge.
Additionally, with any ordinance that provides government oversight of proposed rent increases, any landlord rent increase not approved may face a legal challenge as a regulatory taking.
C. STEPS TO CONSIDER IN ADOPTING A RENT CONTROL ORDINANCE
1. Studies. The City should first retain an expert consultant in the field to conduct the necessary studies needed for the findings to support the adoption of rent control. Factors to consider prior to the adoption of rent control include, but are not limited to, the following:
• current market rents and rent increase rates, income levels of seniors and non-seniors, number of seniors and non-seniors;
• number of potentially impacted units and exempt units; and • vacancy rates and market imbalances.
The expert consultant would also participate in drafting an ordinance with the City Attorney's Office and making presentations to the City on its options.
2. Community Participation. The City should conduct workshop(s) for the City Council and the community on what rent control entails and issues to be considered by the City Council in choosing a rent control ordinance.
Page4
3. Factors to Decide. The City will need to consider the following issues:
a) Applicability of the Ordinance. The City must decide whether the rent control ordinance will apply to seniors only, to a portion of the City, or to all buildings built before February 1, 1995. If the ordinance will apply to seniors only, the City must decide whether rent control will be on buildings occupied only by seniors, or other scenarios to avoid a disparate impact argument, discussed above.
b) Annual Rent Increases. All rent control ordinances must allow for annual rent increases. The following are common rent increase methods:
• increases tied to consumer price index (CPI) (100% or a lesser percentage of CPI for the previous year);
• increases of a fixed percentage (e.g. 5% annually); or • increases between a range of percentages (e.g., a floor of 3% and ceiling of 6% annually).
c) Fair Return Adjustments. All rent control ordinances must authorize petitions for fair return adjustments. The types of fair return standards that have been common under rent control ordinances are:
• An analysis of a non-exclusive list of factors without a specific formula;
• Return on Investment; or
• Maintenance of Net Operating Income (MNOI).
The City may choose some or all of the standards to apply in considering petitions for fair return adjustments. The City may also allow the Rent Review Commission or the City Council the discretion to decide what formula to apply.
d) Capital Improvement Adjustments. The City may choose whether to separately allow for capital improvement rent increases. e) Funding Mechanism. The City must determine how enforcement of the rent control ordinance will be funded. For example, some cities adopt a flat annual administrative fee for each building, while others adopt a fee ranging from $1 to $150/year per unit.
f) Administration. The City must decide which bodies will act as the policy- and quasi-judicial decision-makers, and the division of power between the City Council and the Rent Review Commission. The City must also determine which department and personnel will run the day-to-day operations of the rent control ordinance.
g) Eviction Standards. The City should determine what standards will apply for just-cause evictions, and the appeal process.
4. Drafting of Ordinance. Once the City receives satisfactory input from the community and the relevant studies, the City then drafts the ordinance.
5. Notice and Hearing Issues. The Costa-Hawkins Act does not require a public hearing or provide for specific notice requirements. Accordingly, the normal rules for the adoption of ordinances apply.
a) Notice. Pursuant to Gov. Code Section 54954(a), notice of any item to be discussed at a city council meeting, such as a proposed rent control ordinance, must be posted on the agenda for the city council meeting at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting.
01005.0001/772349.1 Pages
b) Public Hearing. Although the Costa-Hawkins Act does not specifically provide for a public hearing, it is recommended that the City conduct one if it anticipates the public would want to comment on the proposed ordinance.
If the ordinance is effective City-wide and if the City chooses to conduct a public hearing, the City would provide notice of the public hearing by publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the city at least 1 O days before the hearing.

On December 13, 2021 , staff provided an update regarding the Irwindale Rock House Replacement Structure, the Irwindale Public Library Capital Improvement Project, and the Dan Diaz Recreation Center Capital Improvement Project. At this meeting staff was directed to evaluate the ten-acre City-owned property on Allen Drive as a potential location for a new standalone library. Staff has completed its analysis for the ten-acre 01005.0001n72528.1

The site is designated in the General Plan as Residential. The property is currently zoned M-2 (Heavy Manufacturing). The following zones and uses surround the site:

If the City Council desires to utilize this site for the library, a General Plan Amendment would be required because the current designation is Residential and the library is not listed as a permissible use under Residential; the suggested designation is Public/Institutional Uses. This site would not require a zone change because the use permitted under C-2 (Heavy Commercial)- which zone would allow the use of the site as a library- is permitted under the site's current zoning designation of M-2 (Heavy Manufacturing).
Grass Area West of Existing Library
The site is designated in the General Plan as Parks. The property is currently zoned A-1 (Agricultural). The following zones and uses surround the site:

If the City Council desires to utilize the site for development of the library, a General Plan Amendment would be required because the current designation of Parks allows for public parks and public open space; the suggested designation is Public/Institutional Uses. This site would also require a zone change to either C-2 (Heavy Commercial) or OS (Open Space).
ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
Ingress and egress to the site would be achieved by utilizing Allen Drive. Although no formal traffic study was performed, it is estimated that vehicle daily trips to the new standalone library would result in an additional+/- 60 daily trips.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
On January 5, 2022, the Irwindale Parks and Recreation Commission was provided with an update regarding the Library Capital Improvement Project and the Dan Diaz Recreation Center Capital Improvement Project. At this meeting, the Commission expressed their desire to have the new standalone Library constructed near the Dan Diaz Recreation Center, west of the existing Library.
LIBRARY OPERATIONS
The Library operations includes programs and events that benefit community members of all ages. Many of the Library patrons participate in the programs and events offered by the Dan Diaz Recreation Center, making the close proximity of these two buildings ideal.
Throughout the year, the Recreation Department staff walks Kidzone participants to the Library to participate in homework help, story time, special events, and the summer reading program. Additionally, in the summer, the Library patrons include visitors from the Aquatics Center. The current location of the Library also allows school age children, who use the City's school transportation service to walk to the library to complete schoolwork, use the public computers or check out materials. During the school year, the library hosts monthly class visits from Merwin Elementary. The Library's current close proximity to Merwin allows students and teachers to safely walk and utilize existing crosswalks in a timely manner. Keeping the Library in close proximity to other City departments also provides a convenient meeting space for staff workshops and trainings. 01005.0001n72528.1
Alternatively, construction of a Library on the ten-acre site would allow a significantly larger library to be constructed. A larger library will require increased staffing to cover additional service points to provide continuity of operations and service delivery.
STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION
Based on the analysis above, it is staff's recommendation that the City Council consider constructing a new standalone Library in the grass area west of the existing library. This will allow the library, recreation, aquatic, local schools, and park patrons to easily access these facilities and participate in the various program and events offered to the community.

Background and Analysis:
1. At its special meeting held September 29, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-86-3298, declaring an exemption under AB 361 which allowed the legislative body to meet via teleconference and forego the Brown Act's traditional agenda posting, physical access, and quorum requirements for teleconferencing for the month of October 2021.
2. On October 13, 2021, the Successor Agency and Irwindale Housing Authority adopted Resolution Nos. SA 2021-92-3304 and HA 2021-05-104, which ratified the action taken by the City Council.
3. On October 13, 2021, the City Council directed staff to take the necessary steps to resume hybrid public meetings, thereby allowing the public to participate in a public meeting via teleconference or in-person, and foregoing the Brown Act's traditional agenda posting, physical access, and quorum requirements for teleconferencing for the month of November 2021.
4. On October 27, 2021, the City Council, Successor Agency and the Irwindale Housing Authority adopted Joint Resolution No. 2021-94-3306, Resolution No. SA 2021-95- 3307, and HA 2021-06-105, respectively, which re-ratified the existence of a local emergency and authorized remote hybrid meetings for all legislative bodies of the City of Irwindale for the month of November.

6. On December 8, 2021, the City Council, Successor Agency, Housing Authority and Reclamation Authority adopted joint Resolution No. 2021-109-3321, SA Resolution No. 2021-110-3322, HA Resolution No. HA 2021-09-108 and RA Resolution No. 2021-03-028, respectively, which re-ratified the existence of a local emergency and authorized remote hybrid meetings for all legislative bodies of the City of Irwindale for the thirty day period beginning December 9, 2021 through January 8, 2022; and
7. On January 12, 2022, the City Council, Successor Agency and Housing Authority adopted joint Resolution No. 2022-02-3251, SA Resolution No. 2022-03-3252 and HA Resolution No. 2022-01-111, respectively, which re-ratified the existence of a local emergency and authorized remote hybrid meetings for all legislative bodies of the City of Irwindale for the thirty day period beginning January 13, 2022 through February 12, 2022; and
8. On February 9, 2022, the City Council, Successor Agency and Housing Authority adopted joint Resolution No. 2022-11-3261, SA Resolution No. 2022-12-3262 and HA Page2
Resolution No. 2022-02-112, respectively, which re-ratified the existence of a local emergency and authorized remote hybrid meetings for all legislative bodies of the City of Irwindale for the thirty day period beginning February 13, 2022 through March 14, 2022;and
9. The attached joint resolution for the City Council, Successor Agency, and Housing Authority, make the findings necessary for the legislative bodies to declare an exemption under AB 361 as (1) there is an existing state of emergency declared by the Governor and (2) the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's guidance recommends to social distance (about 6 feet away) from people outside your household or when vaccination status is unknown.
10. As a result, joint Resolution modifies public meetings as follows:
a. AB 361, attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A, regarding teleconference requirements allowing City legislative bodies to hold public meetings by· teleconferencing or electronically, and in-person, without noticing the teleconferenced locations on the agenda, without making teleconferenced locations accessible to the public, without making physical locations accessible to the public, without posting agendas at teleconferenced locations, without requiring members of the legislative bodies to be physically present at the meeting, and without requiring a quorum of the members of the legislative body to participate from locations with the City's jurisdiction, as long as the agenda that is posted at least 72 hours in advance indicates that members of the legislative body may be participating electronically, provides the teleconference or webinar access information by which the public may participate electronically, and lists the procedure for individuals with disabilities to request reasonable accommodations;
b. All public meeting agendas shall be posted at least 72 hours prior to a regular meeting and at least 24 hours prior to a special meeting; c. Members of the public will have the ability to access the meeting and directly address the legislative body via a call-in option, an internet-based service provider, or in-person. Members of the public who wish to access the meeting inperson shall comply with all health and safety protocols imposed for in-person attendance to promote social distancing;
d. In the event of a service disruption that prevents broadcasting of the meeting, the meeting will stop and no further action on the agenda items will occur until (1) an attempt to restore service for a 10-minute period, and (2) adjourning the meeting to a new date and time when an unresolved issue exceeds the 10-minute time period.
Fiscal Impact:
Conducting remote hybrid public meetings will require city staff to assist with the meeting and public participation, remotely or in-person. The fiscal impact will be based on the amount of staff required and the duration of the meeting. The fiscal impact for all Council and Commission meetings for the 30-day period beginning March 15, 2022 through April 14, 2022 is estimated to be approximately $900.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE, SUCCESSOR
AGENCY TO THE FORMER IRWINDALE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY,
HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD AND RECLAMATION AUTHORITY BOARD OF THE
CITY OF IRWINDALE, CALIFORNIA DO HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council, Successor Agency Board, Housing Authority Board and Reclamation Authority Board determine that each of the findings set forth above is true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. The City Council, Successor Agency Board, Housing Authority Board and Reclamation Authority Board hereby consider the conditions of the state of emergency as proclaimed by the Governor, the existence of emergency conditions in the City of Irwindale, and reaffirm, reauthorize, and continue the existence of a local emergency throughout the City.
SECTION 3. The City Council, Successor Agency Board, Housing Authority Board and Reclamation Authority Board hereby find that the state of emergency declared by Governor Newsom on or about March 4, 2020 remains active and local health agencies continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, and that the risk of infection due to the Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 can cause an imminent risk to attendees to in-person meetings, despite vaccination status, but especially for unvaccinated attendees, and/or those who are immunocompromised, thereby prompting the City Council, Successor Agency Board, and Housing Authority Board to reaffirm, reauthorize, and maintain the existence of a local emergency, as required by Government Code section 54953(e) et seq.
SECTION 4. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health recommends implementing policies and practices that support physical distancing. Based on such facts, findings, and determinations, the City Council Successor Agency Board, and Housing Authority Board authorize staff to conduct remote hybrid meetings for all public meetings regular and special, including City Council, Successor Agency to the Irwindale Community Redevelopment Agency, and Irwindale Housing Authority Board of Commissioners, all City Commission and committee meetings, and any other meetings that would normally take place in the City Council Chambers under the provisions of Government Code Section 54953 subsection E. As a result, the public meetings are modified as follows:
a. AB 361, attached hereto as Exhibit A, regarding teleconference requirements allowing City legislative bodies to hold public meetings by teleconferencing or electronically, and in-person, without noticing the teleconferenced locations on the agenda, without making teleconferenced locations accessible to the public, Resolution No. 2022-20-3270

All public meeting agendas shall be posted at least 72 hours prior to a regular meeting and at least 24 hours prior to a special meeting; c. Members of the public will have the ability to access the meeting and directly address the legislative body via a call-in option, an internet-based service provider, or in-person.

LEGISI,ATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 361, Robert Rivas. Open meetings: state and local agencies:
teleconferences.
(I) Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate. The act contains specified provisions regarding the timelines for posting an agenda and providing for the ability of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public.
The act generally requires all regular and special meetings of the legislative body be held within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, subject to certain exceptions. The act allows for meetings to occur via teleconferencing subject to certain requirements, particularly that the legislative body notice each teleconference location of each member that will be participating in the public meeting, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, that members of the public be allowed to address the legislative body at each teleconference location, that the legislative body post an agenda at each teleconference location, and that at least a quorum of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of 1he local agency's jurisdiction. The act provides an exemption to the jurisdictional require1nent for health authorities, as defined. The act authorizes the district attorney or any interested person, subject to certain provisions, to commence an action by mandamus or injunction for the purpose of obtaining a judicial determination 1hat specified actions taken by a legislative body are null and void.
Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor, or the Director of Emergency Services when the governor is inaccessible, to proclaim a state of emergency under specified circumstances.
Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the Ralph M. Brown Act's requirements for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the legislative body at the meeting, and that a legislative body of a local agency has a procedure for receiving and swiftly 92 Ch.165 -2-
resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.
This bill, until January 1, 2024, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing withont complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act when a legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emergency held for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether meeting in person would present innninent risks to the health or safety of attendees, and during a proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present innninent risks to the health or safety of attendees, as provided.
This bill would require legislative bodies that hold teleconferenced meetings under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures to give notice of the meeting and post agendas, as described, to allow members of the public to access the meeting and address the legislative body, to give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option, and to conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties aud the public appearing before the legislative body. 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.
This bill would prohibit the legislative body from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specify that the legislative body must provide au opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and offer comment in real time. The bill would prohibit the legislative body from closing the public comment period and the opportunity to register to provide public comment, until the public comment period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, as specified. When there is a continuing state of emergency, or when state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, the bill would require 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.
Existing law prohibits a legislative body from requiring, as a condition to attend a meeting, a person to register the person's name, or to provide other information, or to fulfill any condition precedent to the person's attendance.
92 -3- Ch.165
This bill would exclude from that prohibition, a registration requirement imposed by a third-party internet website or other online platform not under 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 ariy meeting of a state body. The act requires at least one member of the state body to be physically present at the location specified in the notice of the meeting.
The Governor's Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the state body at the meeting, and that a state body has a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.
This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a state body to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe arid to address the state body. With respect to a state body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the state body at each teleconference location. Under the bill, a state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the state body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public cormnent. The bill would require that each state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge state bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(3) Existing law establishes the various campuses of the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and authorizes the establishment of student body organizations in connection with the operations of California State University campuses.
The Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act of 2000 generally requires a legislative body, as defined, of a student body organization to conduct its business in a meeting that is open and public. The act authorizes the legislative body to use teleconferencing, as defined, for the benefit of the public and the legislative body in connection with any meeting or proceeding authorized by law.
This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a legislative body, as defiued for purposes of the act, to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and 92 Ch.165 -4-
to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the legislative body. With respect to a legislative body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference location.
Under the bill, a legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the legislative body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge legislative bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(4) This bill would declare the Legislatore's intent, consistent with the Governor's Executive Order No. N-29-20, to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options.
(5) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by AB 339 to be operative only if this bill and AB 339 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
(6) The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (7) Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (8) This bill would declare that it is to take effect innnediately as an urgency statute.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SEC. 6. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options consistent with the Governor's Executive Order No. N-29-20 dated March 17, 2020, permitting expanded use of teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
SEC. 7. The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Govermnent Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:
This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in teleconference 1neetings during applicable emergencies.
SEC. 8. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that during the COVID-19 public health emergency, certain requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Govermnent Code) were suspended by Executive Order N-29-20. Audio and video teleconference were widely used to conduct public meetings in lieu of physical location meetings, and public meetings conducted by teleconference during the COVID-19 public health emergency have been productive, have increased public participation by all members of the public regardless of their location in the state and ability to travel to physical meeting locations, have protected the health and safety of civil servants and the public, and have reduced travel costs incurred by members of state bodies and reduced work hours spent traveling to and from meetings.
92 -19- Ch.165

Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the followiog findiogs to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that ioterest:
(1) By removiog the requirement that public meetings be conducted at a primary physical location with a quorum of members present, this act protects the health and safety of civil servants and the public and does not preference the experience of members of the public who might be able to attend a meeting in a physical location over members of the public who cannot travel or attend that meeting in a physical location. (2) By removing the requirement for agendas to be placed at the location of each public official participating in a public meetiog remotely, iocluding from the member's private home or hotel room, this act protects the personal, private information of public officials and their families while preserviog the public's right to access ioformation concerning the conduct of the people's busioess.
SEC. 9. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the hmnediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into ionnediate effect.
The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order to ensure that state and local agencies can continue holding public meetings while providing essential services like water, power, and fire protection to their constituents during public health, wildfire, or other states of emergencies, it is necessary that this act take effect iounediately. 0 92

Chief Assistant Authority Secretary Nieto presented the staff report.
Carmen Roman spoke in favor of maintaining hybrid legislative meetings.
Dena Zepeda questioned why Board Member Ortiz was unable to participate virtually in tonight's meeting, to which Board Attorney Guerra advised that the meeting agendas must identify that the proceedings are being held in accordance with AB361 to allow for the remote participation of a Councilmember. When the agenda for tonight's meeting was prepared, it was assumed that all Board Members would attend the meeting in person; as such, the agenda did not contain this language. However, staff learned on Monday that Board Member Ortiz would potentially not meet in person, and so staff amended the special meeting agenda to invoke AB361 in order to permit his off-site virtual attendance. However, due to technical errors, the agenda was not uploaded to the city's website. This is the reason Board Member Ortiz was unable to participate in tonight's meeting.

Replying to Vice Chair Ambriz's question, Board Attorney Guerra explained that the Council previously authorized hybrid meetings per AB361 through January 8. Unfortunately, Board Member Ortiz was unable to join tonight's meeting since the meeting was not noticed as an AB361 meeting. In order to avoid this happening again in the future, the Council will continue holding meetings every two weeks in order to meet the 30-day AB361 deadlines.
Board Member Breceda noted that a majority of cities are beginning to shut down again due to the pandemic, and expressed his preference that meetings be held via teleconference for the safety and protection of staff and residents.
Carmen Roman again spoke on her preference of hybrid meetings.
Dena Zepeda spoke highly of Chief Assistant Authority Secretary Nieto, and stated that the people deserve to have their elected Board Members attend the meetings in person.
Chair Burrola expressed concern for the safety of employees and residents.
A motion was made by Vice Chair Ambriz, seconded by Chair Burrola, to adopt:
Resolution No. HA 2022-01-111, entitled:

Director Simpson presented the staff report and made a PowerPoint presentation.
Vice Chair Ambriz thanked all staff involved in preparing this report.
Dena Zepeda, Carmen Roman, and Fred Barbosa all thanked everyone involved in this subject.
A motion was made by Vice Chair Ambriz to purchase the lease agreement for the Las Casitas Senior Apartments from Northridge Management. The motion died due to a lack of a second.
Board Member Garcia noted that his concerns regarding the financial component of the proposed deal have not been addressed. He expressed his worry that the proposal would cost millions to fund additional staffing and operational costs, among other things. He emphasized that he was not opposed to the proposal, but felt that these questions must be answered before proceeding.
Responding to several questions by Board Member Ortiz, Director Simpson advised that: 1) staff is not certain at this time the amount of additional staffers that would need to be hired as well as their relevant qualifications under the proposal; 2) there are certain elements in the operation of the complex that would need to be addressed due to the change from private to public operations, and 3) she is currently coordinating all housing-related activities, with assistance from Jesus Hernandez.
Board Member Garcia suggested looking into how other communities run their housing programs, such as Pico Rivera, to gain their input and knowledge.

Vice Chair Ambriz stated that he understood the concerns, but that he felt that the proposal to purchase the lease agreement and its related mechanisms would be handled well by staff, and spoke in favor of moving the proposal forward.
Chair Burrola concurred with Vice Chair Ambriz that the project was manageable.
Director Simpson requested clear direction by the Council, and advised that additional details would be presented to the Council as the project moves forward. She added that staff would look into the processes set in place by other communities to see if Irwindale could benefit from similar functions.
Dena Zepeda expressed her confidence in staff's abilities to properly manage the apartment complex, but spoke against looking into other cities' processes since Irwindale is unique. She also suggested recruiting residents to perform maintenance at the complex since they would probably not charge as much as other contractors.
Chair Burrola thanked staff for looking into the request.
A motion was made by Vice Chair Ambriz, seconded by Chair Burrola, to direct staff to work with Northridge Management to develop a Purchase and Sale Agreement and all related acquisition documents for the purchase of the lease agreement for Las Casitas Senior Apartment Complex, for presentation to the Council for additional consideration. The motion was unanimously approved; Board Member Garcia abstaining and Board Member Breceda absent.

Electronically Approved
Background and Analysis:
California Government Code Section 53646 requires that the City Treasurer submit a quarterly report of investments (Investment Report) to the City Council/Board Members for review and compliance with the City's adopted investment policy (City's Investment Policy).
The City's Investment Policy applies to all funds held by the City, Housing Authority, Successor Agency, and Reclamation Authority. The Reclamation Authority's funds are included in the City's cash and investment balances. The Investment Report for the quarter ending December 31, 2021 was presented to the City Council, Housing Authority, and Successor Agency Board on January 26, 2022. The Reclamation Authority was not scheduled to meet on that date, and therefore it is appropriate to present the same Quarterly Investment Report to the Reclamation Authority during their next regularly scheduled meeting.
The attached Investment Report summarizes the cash balances and investments as of December 31, 2021 for each agency. The City of lrwindale's balances include investments of all funds of the City and its agencies, which are pooled to maximize the interest yield. The cash balances in the general account with Bank of the West also include all funds of the City and its agencies, which also earn interest on the pooled cash balances. All investments comply with the City's Investment Policy.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to receive and file this report.
