Julian A. Miranda, City Manager __________________________ Background and Analysis:
On December 8, 2023, the City received a claim for damages from claimant Saida Gonzalez. Claimant Gonzalez alleges that while traveling eastbound on Live Oak Avenue, she made a left turn onto Arrow Highway and experienced an impact to the left front tire of her vehicle. Claimant alleges that this impact caused her vehicle to sustain damage to the left front tire, left strut, and left front carrier.
Additionally, two front tires were replaced and the car was aligned. Claimant alleges the City of Irwindale is responsible because there was a missing sign on the center divider, making the divider difficult to see when turning.
The claim was reviewed by the City’s claims adjuster, Carl Warren & Co., who has recommended the rejection of the claim. Their recommendation is made on the basis that this was an isolated incident with no prior complaints having been reported to the City of Irwindale. Furthermore, the median island on the north approach is approximately forty feet from the limit line for southbound traffic and there is double yellow striping from the limit line to the median that is visible to oncoming traffic.
Accordingly, staff is recommending that the City Council reject the claim and direct staff to send a standard letter of rejection. Alternatively, the City Council may direct the City Manager to negotiate resolution of the claim.

On January 8, 2020, the Irwindale City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020‐05‐3166 authorizing specific City personnel and consulting firm of Hinderliter, de Llamas & Associates, Inc. (HdL) to examine transactions and use tax records on behalf of the City. As with all sales tax records, the transactions and use tax information are highly confidential and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) will only release this information to authorized City staff and consultants.
Due to changes in personnel titles and positions, the Resolution must now be updated to reflect the changes. The amended resolution will remove the titles of Community Development Manager and Economic Development Coordinator from the list and adds lists of departments (City Manager’s Office, Finance and Community Development Departments) along with Office Specialist and Administrative Secretary under the Community Development Department as additional authorized personnel are now able to examine transactions and use tax records.

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager __________________________ Background and Analysis:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) Equitable Sharing Program (Asset Forfeiture) was federally enacted in 1984. The primary purpose of this program is to assist law enforcement in the deterrence of crime by depriving criminals of the profits and proceeds of their criminal activities and to weaken criminal enterprises by removing the instrumentalities of crime. An ancillary purpose of this program is to enhance cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies through the equitable sharing of federal forfeiture proceeds.
The Irwindale Police Department in cooperation with federal, state, and local agencies, has participated in several investigations over the past four years that have resulted in the seizure of personal property to include automobiles and U.S. currency. Through the Equitable Sharing Program, the police department applied for and received a portion of funds from each related investigation from both federal and state equitable sharing programs. Allocations of funds through these programs are determined by the percentage of time and effort that a participating agency puts toward the case investigation that resulted in seized property.
Federal and state laws dictate permissible and non‐permissible purchases that can be made with the received asset forfeiture funds under the asset forfeiture program. Permissible items for purchase with the received funds include law enforcement training in any area that is necessary to perform official law enforcement duties, equipment and operations for investigations and official law enforcement duties, telecommunications equipment, and law enforcement facilities and related items to include government furniture.
Asset forfeiture funds cannot be used for regular salaries of existing police officers, but may be used for the salary of police officers assigned to a specific task force for a specified period of time or under certain other conditions. The permissible appropriation of funds will include:
Salary and overtime costs associated with asset forfeiture investigations Law enforcement training
Hardware, software, wireless connectivity and other required equipment related to the department's reporting and telecommunications infrastructure Radio Communication Systems / In‐car camera system / MDC‐Mobile Data Video surveillance equipment
Equipment and operations related to investigations
Executive Conferences ‐ In State/Out of State
The police department has received an additional $846,160.51 for fiscal year 2023‐2024 in federal asset forfeiture proceeds and $1,560.81 in interest from the prior year. These IPD’s federal asset forfeiture funds, are held in the Federal Treasury Fund (Fund 16). These funds are separate from the General Fund, and supplemental to the current operating budget.
Fiscal Impact:
The attached resolution allows for the receipt of, and an appropriation of $847,721.32 in federal asset forfeiture revenue to be distributed to the City’s expenditure accounts as follows:
$119,171.32 to Operating Supplies Account No.16‐35‐370‐42200‐0000 $569,050.00 to Vehicles Account No. 16‐35‐370‐44400‐0000 $30,000.00 to Computer Systems Account No. 16‐35‐370‐44300‐0000 $49,500.00 to Contract Services Account No. 16‐35‐370‐42300‐0000 $80,000.00 to Large Tools Account No. 16‐35‐370‐44500‐0000

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager __________________________ Background and Analysis:
The California Governor's Office of Planning and Research, the California Growth Strategic Council (SGC) is responsible for advancing the state's key policy priorities through four (4) main categories:
investment programs, collaborative policy initiatives, integrated policy and planning, and capacity building and technical assistance. The newest program to advance these policies is the Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Program, which builds upon community partnerships that align with the California Climate Adaptation Strategy, the Extreme Heat Action Plan, and other statewide efforts that focus on building local resilience across California communities.
California set a historic climate budget package in 2021‐2022 to tackle wildfire and drought challenges, build more resilient communities, promote sustainable agriculture, and advance a nation‐leading climate agenda. The budget also allocated $100 million in funding for two rounds of new Community Resilience Centers (CRC) programs. Assembly Bill (AB) 179 (Ting, Chapter 249, Statues of 2022), the Budget Act of 2022, increased SGC's CRC Round 1 funding from $25 million to $110 million and CRC Round 2 funding from $75 million to $160 million.
Senate Bill (SB) 155 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 258, Statues of 2021) created SGC’s CRC program to fund new construction or retrofit existing facilities to address the public health impacts associated with extreme heat, rolling blackouts, windstorm events, hurricanes, and any other emergencies resulting from climate change. This bill also requires SGC to ensure community‐based organizations and residents participate in the decision‐making and ensure transparency when developing or retrofitting community resilience centers.
Staff has identified, per Resolution No. 2021‐25‐3237, which adopted and amended the Emergency Operations Plan and Continuity of Operations Plan for the City of Irwindale and identified the Dan Diaz Recreation Center as an Emergency Evacuation Center. As a result, the City would like to reclassify the Dan Diaz Recreation Center as a Community Resilience Center to be used in the case of any emergency related to climate change. In order to do so, the Dan Diaz Recreation Center requires improvements, including but not limited to a seismic retrofit, new HVAC units, new windows and doors, and the creation of additional restrooms and classrooms to better serve the community.
In order to apply for a grant to start the design phase of the development of the Dan Diaz Recreation Center improvements and creation of a sustainable Community Resilience Center, the City Council must adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or the City Manager's designer to apply for, accept, and negotiate and execute any related documents necessary to enter into an agreement with the California Strategic Growth Council.

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager __________________________ Background and Analysis:
The City of Irwindale is invested in providing support and economic opportunities that allow local businesses to grow and thrive. As part of a broader economic development program, the City is interested in establishing a Business Visitation Team which will conduct visits to local businesses to better understand the business community’s needs and develop actions that will help retain and grow a healthy economy and jobs.
In July 2023, the City retained RSG to analyze local economic data and business trends to identify key industry sectors for targeted outreach. The analysis was intended to help the City prioritize its limited resources and target industries that represent a significant part of the local economy and are poised for growth. The Targeted Business Outreach and Retention Strategy Memo (Attachment 1) summarizes RSG’s data-driven approach to identifying key industry sectors and presents recommendations for the City’s outreach campaign.
The analysis considered a variety of data points such as total employment, location quotient (LQ), longterm growth, and average wages in its evaluation of local industry sectors. A significant part of the analysis included calculating the LQ which measures the concentration of an industry within a local jurisdiction (Irwindale) compared to its regional (LA County) concentration. This helps identify which sectors the local jurisdictions have a strong standing in. The other highest-weighted factor in the analysis was long-term growth projections for each industry from 2020 to 2030. This helps the City set expectations about which sectors are expected to rise or decline.
RSG identified the 14 high-priority industry sectors, focusing on those with high LQ and growth projections, which are summarized in Table 1 below. Appendix 1 summarizes RSG’s analysis of all the industries in Irwindale. The memo provides a high-level summary along with examples of businesses in each priority industry sector.
To assist the City in its targeted outreach efforts the memo outlines two recommended strategies for the City to employ including:
1. Annual Business Walk, and
2. Monthly Visitation Program
The Annual Business Walks involve a team of City staff and other stakeholders visiting many local businesses in targeted sectors to engage in discussion and gain a better sense of the specific challenges and gaps in resources that businesses struggle with. This effort will also help build strong relationships with businesses, build brand loyalty with the City, and inform more targeted economic development planning.
Following the business walk, it is important for the City to follow up with a report that summarizes the results of their discussions, identifies common trends, shares feedback received from the participating businesses, and provides resources to help meet the businesses’ needs.
Similarly, the Monthly Visitation Program will consist of regular, ongoing visits to local businesses by a team of City staff, government officials, and other business and economic leaders of the community. The City should establish an achievable goal for the number of visits to be conducted a month, such as 1-2, and select different businesses to visit each month based on different criteria such as high employers or high tax producers within the targeted industry sectors. As with the business walks, the visitation team should prepare specific and relevant questions ahead of time in order to best utilize the time with the business and should follow up after the visit with any resources or unanswered questions.
These strategies will help the City gain a better understanding of the specific challenges and goals that businesses in Irwindale face and build strong relationships with the business community. The outreach strategies recommended in the memo are foundational to the City developing other targeted economic development initiatives that will support local businesses in the future. As with any engagement effort, preparation is key to successful outreach that best utilizes staff and the businesses’ time. Each industry is unique and by asking more specific questions at each visit, will demonstrate that the City is actively engaged in the local business ecosystem. The memo provides a list of example questions that the City might pose to each industry sector. While this list is not exhaustive, it is intended to help staff get started on planning their outreach.
With the guidance provided in the Targeted Business Outreach and Retention Strategy Memo, staff is prepared to begin developing a Business Visitation Team and conducting visits. At this time, staff is seeking direction from the Council to launch these efforts as well as any additional considerations that staff should take into account.

REQUEST
The Applicant, Rivergrade Holding LLC, is requesting approval of a Development Agreement to allow the conversion of a freeway‐oriented static billboard into a digital display billboard along Interstate 605 (I‐605) Freeway just north of the Rivergrade Road and Lower Azusa Road intersection at 4800 Rivergrade Road. Per Irwindale Municipal Code (IMC) Section 17.72.030, the repair, replacement, or new installation of a static or digital billboard requires the approval of a Development Agreement with appropriate standards and public benefits to be negotiated with the City and complying with all other standards imposed by the Irwindale Municipal Code (IMC).

The site is currently occupied by four (4) buildings having a total square footage of ± 63,209 square feet, formerly Hallett Boats. The subject billboard sits east of the buildings and faces the I‐605 freeway. There is an existing static billboard located north of the project site sitting roughly 500 feet from the subject billboard.

The proposed digital billboard is proposed to have the same height and face area as the existing static billboard it will be replacing. The proposed billboard will have a total height of 52’‐4.8”, falling below the 65‐foot maximum height.
Key provisions of the Development Agreement include the following:
1. Annual Development Fee. Developer will pay Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000.00) to the City of Irwindale per year (representing $35,000 per Digital Display) with a 12.5% increase every 5 years.
2. Community Benefit. Developer will provide advertising space on the Digital Displays to the City free of charge on a space‐available basis. Such advertising space shall only be made available for the use of City‐related events or agencies.
3. Prohibited Use. Developer will not utilize any of the displays on the Billboard to advertise tobacco, marijuana, hashish, “gentlemen’s clubs,” adult entertainment businesses, sexually oriented materials, or use sexually oriented images or language, including, but not limited to, ads such as “Adult Con”, vulgar or obscene images or language.
4. Annual Review. The City Council will have the right to review this Agreement annually at the Developer’s sole cost, on or before the anniversary of the Term, to ascertain the good faith compliance by Developer with the terms of the Agreement (“Annual Review”).
5. Indemnification. Developer will indemnify the City for any damages or claims related to its construction and operation of the subject billboard.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to the Irwindale Municipal Code Section 17.72.050, the proposed digital billboard complies with all of the required development standards, including, but not limited to the following (Refer to Exhibit B for a description of all general billboard standards):
A. Sign Face Dimensions.
1. The area of the sign face shall not exceed 675 square feet, excluding border, trim, cutouts and other special advertising features or additions and base or apron supports and other structural members.

3. Three‐dimensional design elements shall not extend more than 5 feet beyond the front of the sign face or sign side.
4. Bidirectional or double‐faced signs shall be located on the same structure. For parallel double‐ faced signs, the distance between sign faces shall not exceed 8 feet. For "V‐shaped" double‐faced signs, the distance between sign faces shall not exceed 45 feet at their widest point and shall not exceed 8 feet at their closest point.
5. Billboard identification signs shall have a minimum character height of two feet.
B. Structure Design. Each structure shall have no more than two poles, and shall be constructed of noncombustible material.
C. Height. The height shall not exceed 65 feet or, exclusive of cutouts or special additions, measured from the higher of either:
1. The finished grade of the roadway adjacent to the lot on which the structure is located and from which the advertising display is to be viewed; or
2. the finished grade of the base of the sign.

1. Structures shall be located only in area immediately adjacent to the I‐605 and I‐210 freeways that is zoned for commercial, quarry or industrial uses.
2. Structures shall not be located on public property or rights‐of‐way. No portion of any sign or structure shall located on, project into, beneath, or above the public right‐of‐way.
3. Maintenance, repair and other related operations shall be operated completely upon the billboard site and shall not use or encroach on any public right‐of‐way.
4. Structures shall not be located within the setbacks that apply to the zone in which the structure is located.
5. Structures shall not be located within 5 feet of a building or other structure.
6. New billboards shall not be located within 2,500 feet of another billboard on the same side of the public right‐of‐way.

Development Agreements for new billboard structures with digital displays may provide for a reduced buffer, but not less than 1,500 feet in due consideration of other public benefits provided in the development agreements, including, but not limited to, the concurrent takedown of existing static displays or digital displays within the City.
7. When the replacement of a static billboard results in the construction of a new digital display, the new billboard shall not be located within a 500‐foot radius of any existing billboards (static or digital) on the same side of the public right‐of‐way. For purposes of this section, measurements shall be made from the centerline of the support structure if a single pole and from the angle of intersection if a perpendicular (V‐shaped) sign.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FINDINGS
California Government Code Section 65867.5 provides the following:
(a) A Development Agreement is a legislative act that shall be approved by ordinance and is subject to referendum.
(b) A Development Agreement shall not be approved unless the legislative body finds that the provisions of the agreement are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. (c) A Development Agreement that includes a subdivision, as defined in Section 66473.7, shall not be approved unless the agreement provides that any tentative map prepared for the subdivision will comply with Section 66473.7.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 65803, this section shall also apply to a charter city.
Accordingly, in order to approve the ordinance granting the Development Agreement, the City Council is required to find that the provisions of the Development Agreement are consistent with the Irwindale General Plan. Staff recommends that the City Council make this finding based on the following:
The proposed digital billboard conversion per Development Agreement No. 01‐2020 is consistent with the General Plan, including the General Plan Land Use and Economic Development policies in the Community Development Element. These policies provide for comprehensive land use planning to preserve the overall mix of land uses and development in the community, which includes digital billboards, and provides for the pursuit and promotion of economic development to provide revenue to the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the City of Irwindale environmental guidelines, the City, as the Lead Agency, has analyzed the project and has determined that the Project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15302 (Class 2; Replacement and Reconstruction) and no further review is required. Also, the City has determined that this project will not have, either individually or cumulatively, an adverse impact on fish and wildlife resources.
Subject to approval of the project by the City Council based on a recommendation by the Planning Commission, a Notice of Exemption will be filed with the office of the Registrar‐Recorder/County Clerk, County of Los Angeles.
Fiscal Impact:
The Development Agreement application is deposit‐based and therefore does not have a negative impact on the City’s General Fund. An annual development fee has been made part of the agreement that will generate Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000) to the City of Irwindale per year (representing $35,000 per digital display) with a 12.5% increase every 5 years.
