PUBLIC HEARING
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz asked about the heights of the buildings in the ORTIZ M1 and M2 zones, to which Mr. Pergakes advised that industrial buildings in the M2 zones can be a maximum of 40 feet high if located within 250 feet of a residence.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 2025
REGULAR MEETING PAGE 7
Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz noted that industrial buildings can be over 60 feet if located more than 250 feet away from a residential area and suggested that the height be lowered to 50 feet instead, to which Mr.
Pergakes noted that, though this was the Planning Commission’s recommendation, it could be changed by the Council.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Ambriz stated that he could understand why the AMBRIZ heights of buildings fronting the freeway could be higher, to which Mr.
Pergakes advised that there are properties that are being rezoned and that if a development comes in, they could utilize the zoning district category. However, properties that are zoned M2 would be subject to the action taken tonight.
Councilmember Ambriz stated that he is open to allowing buildings fronting freeways to be taller than 50 feet. He also requested that the conditions be re-worded to the authority’s threshold of 10%, not to exceed 15,000 square feet, and that the City Council should have the ultimate authority in decision making, with the Planning Commission providing review and recommendation support.
NICK PERGAKES Nick Pergakes stated that the Kaiser Permanente building is about 60 feet high, and that it was used in the review and research for building heights.
DIRECTOR SIMPSON Director Simpson noted that staff did not wish to create nonconformities with buildings that have recently been approved, which is why 60 feet maximum heights in M2 zones was recommended and noted that discussions were held about allowing building heights to be higher when fronting the freeway.
MAYOR BURROLA Mayor Burrola asked about the outcome of the workshops that were held to discuss the matter, to which Director Simpson stated that it was recommended for building heights to be a maximum of 60 feet, and residents were very interested in creating a buffer zone between industrial buildings and residential neighborhoods.
Responding to a question by Mayor Burrola, Director Simpson advised that the update originally would have allowed administrative review and approval for projects up to 25,000 square feet in size, though that was later reduced to 15% or a maximum of 15,000 square feet.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda stated that the residents wish to allow maximum building heights of 60 feet and that the Council should have final authority on all development projects. She also suggested that a buffer between industrial buildings and residential units be increased from 250 feet.

COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Ambriz asked about future commercialization in the AMBRIZ Arrow Highway / Live Oak Lane area, to which Senior Planner Jones advised that those businesses have historically never been commercial centers and that they have always been industrial.
However, to have commercial there, the City would have to create a new zoning designation that is compatible with regional commercial.

However, due to multiple factors such as additional analyses for coordination with the City of Azusa, transportation and air quality/GHG, Specific Plan revisions, site plan revisions, and additional cumulative project analysis, the timeline to complete the project has been delayed and the term of the contract needs to be extended in order for the Consultant to complete its services under the Contract.
A revised project schedule, dated May 7, 2025, has been included in Amendment No. 1 as Exhibit “D”, with an expected completion date of March 2026.
In addition to the time extension, the contract amount requires amendment to complete the additional tasks that are beyond the original contract scope:
Task 1: Transportation Analysis and Reports to Include Non-CEQA Issues (19 Intersections), Level of Service and Associated Improvements
Task 2: Additional Transportation Analysis Due to Applicant Initiated Changes in the Specific Plan (IDEFO to be included in EIR Analysis)
Task 3: Biological Surveys and Report for Special Status and Potential Jurisdictional Waters Including Mitigation to be included in the EIR (Peer Review of Applicant Reports) Task 4: Additional Air Quality, GHG and Energy Analysis and Mitigation for Transportation, Mineral Resources, Utilities and Biological Resources to be included in the EIR by UES due to IDEFO inclusion
Task 5: Additional Bi-Weekly Meeting and Project Management provided by UES
Task 6: Additional Graphics and Mapping Support
The original contract was approved for $249,510.00. The additional cost for the above noted tasks and 20% contingency totals $252,000.00, for a new contract totaling $501,510.00.
Fiscal Impact:
The entire cost for this consultant’s work will be covered by the Applicant/Developer, IBY Property Owner, LLC. The City's General Fund will not be impacted. Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement with the Applicant, the Applicant has agreed to reimburse the City of all costs and expenses incurred by the City related to the services agreed to in the Agreement for Contract Services with Universal Engineering Sciences (UES), Inc.

From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approve the purchase and outfitting of one (1) Prowler All-Terrain Vehicle and waive formal bidding bidding requirements, and the purchase of (1) enclosed trailer.
City Manager's Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-42-3630 entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
IRWINDALE WAIVING FORMAL BIDDING REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT TO IRWINDALE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 3.44.080(C), AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH ATV CORP. FOR THE PURCHASE AND OUTFITTING OF ONE POLICE ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE AND ONE ENCLOSED TRAILER, AND AUTHORIZING AN APPROPRIATION OF $70,373.35 FROM THE GENERAL FUND RESERVES FOR THE PURCHASE."

Christopher Hofford, Chief of Police

Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
In October 2023, the City Council approved an MOU between the cities of Azusa, Duarte, and Irwindale ("Cities") to collaborate on services to enhance public safety in the North San Gabriel River Area and formed the North San Gabriel River Working Group ("NSGRWG"). On June 26, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2024-32-3509, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Funding Memorandum of Agreement ("Agreement") between the Cities and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments ("SGVCOG") which set forth the terms for the distribution of $300,000 from Senate Bill 104, Section 19.564 (b)(57), Funds (Funds). The City is able to request reimbursement on eligible public safety expenditures from the SGVCOG through the City of Azusa. Azusa serves as the fiscal agent responsible for submitting invoices on behalf of the Cities and distributing each City's pro rata share of the reimbursement received.
Addressing public safety concerns related to the transient population occupying the San Gabriel Riverbed is a goal of the Funds. The cities agree that the strongest challenge to addressing the homeless issues is a lack of current accessibility to the riverbed. There are large portions of the riverbed that are not accessible to standard patrol vehicles. The cities have decided that the best way to access these areas is via off-road vehicles similar to ones already in use by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
As such, the Police Department is seeking approval for the purchase and outfitting of one (1) Prowler C4XM ERV (Emergency Rescue Vehicle) ("Vehicle") and one (1) enclosed trailer using these funds. The Agreement requires the City to submit invoices to Azusa for allowable expenditures. Azusa will submit the reimbursement to the SGVCOG and, upon receipt of funds, will reimburse the City for eligible expenditures. As a result, the City must first appropriate the funding related to the purchase of the vehicle and the enclosed trailer and then request reimbursement.
Irwindale Municipal Code section 3.44.080(C) provides that the City Council may dispense with formal bidding procedures when a commodity can be obtained from only one vendor which offers it for sale, lease or rental, or when only one vendor is able to do so within the timeframe and/or under the terms and conditions which reasonably meet the needs of the using agency, or when there is a sole distributor or manufacturer of a product or service such that there is no acceptable substitute within a specific geographical area. As explained below, the vehicle sought is only available from one vendor.
Staff recommend the purchase of the Prowler C4XM ERV as it is the best-suited vehicle for use in offroad conditions by our personnel, and no other manufacturer makes a model of this size and equipment configuration. Staff evaluated the all-terrain vehicles that are in use by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which have been in use for years. Their research and experience have led them to use the Prowler C4XM ERV exclusively, as it is the only all-terrain vehicle available in its configuration, equipment, layout and weight for use in off-road operations and certification training.
This vehicle is manufactured by Can-Am then modified by ATV Corp, which adds heavy-duty parts such as shock absorbers, bead-lock wheels, and winch, and also adds full-protective roll bars, emergency lights and sirens, and a wealth of other specialized equipment that makes the vehicle suitable for use by law enforcement and other emergency agencies. There is no other vehicle on the market which matches the Prowler C4XM ERV's configuration and capabilities needed for law enforcement operations. Vehicles from Honda, Yamaha and Polaris were also considered by the Sheriff's
Department, but do not meet the needed size and equipment configuration. The Prowler C4XM ERV has been in use by LASD for years and is the exclusive current fleet model for their homeless outreach team.
The vehicle is not legal for street use and requires a trailer for transportation to the riverbed entrances.
The Police Department's full-size truck will be used to tow the trailer to the riverbed. In order to protect the vehicle from the elements when not in use, staff recommend the purchase of an enclosed trailer. Staff obtained three informal quotes for the trailer and recommend purchasing the trailer from the second-lowest bidder, ATV Corp, as it was the most responsive quote received. Specifically, it includes a side door which is not available from the lowest bidder. The side door is essential because it provides access to the front of the trailer while the vehicle is inside, which is necessary to tie down the front end of the vehicle to secure it for transportation. Having a trailer with a side door makes this process far easier and may prevent injuries that might occur from having to climb over the top of the vehicle while it is inside the trailer if there is no side door. Additionally, the vehicle will be taken to ATV Corp. for regular preventive maintenance service. If the trailer requires service, ATV Corp will also service it, saving staff time from taking the trailer to another service provider. Furthermore, purchasing the trailer from ATV Corp ensures that the trailer is compatible with the vehicle.
Fiscal Impact:
If approved, the City will need to appropriate $75,500 from the General Fund Reserves for the purchase of the Prowler C4XM ERV including accessories ($60,278.50) and the 16' Double Axle Enclosed Trailer ($15,221.50). The City will then pursue reimbursement in accordance with the Agreement for the SB 104 Funds.

Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
On December 19, 2024, the City Council awarded the construction contract for the Morada Street – CMU Block Wall Improvement Project to Leonida Builders, Inc. in the amount of $118,200 plus a 10% construction contingency of $11,820, bringing the total to $130,020. The original scope of work for the project included construction of a new 6-ft-high CMU Block Wall; replacement of a portion of the existing V-Gutter, re-striping of the parking lot and refreshing of pavement signage & markings; replacement of trees impacted by the construction activities; and installation of a new box drain at the curb to improve drainage.
During the course of work, several change orders were incorporated into the project.
Additive change orders totaled $26,003.80 and included:
• Installation of a 3-inch drainage pipe at the footing of the north-facing CMU block wall to improve site drainage.
• Installation of chain link fencing,
• Placement of decomposed granite in designated areas
• Added another course of CMU block to raise the height of the block wall to meet the desired finished elevation.
Deductive change orders totaled $30,360 and included:
• Removal of the replacement of existing V-Gutter
• Removal of a box drain at the curb
• Reductions in quantities for various bid items based on field conditions.
The net change order amount resulted in a credit of $4,356.20 ($26,003.80 - $30,360). As a result, the final construction cost came to $113,843.80, which is less than the authorized amount of $130,020 ($118,200 + $11,820) for the construction contract with Leonida Builders, Inc.
The Morada Street – CMU Block Wall Improvement Project has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. The total project cost is $120,817.07, which is $79,182.93 less than the budgeted amount of $200,000.
Below is the breakdown of the total project cost:
Construction Contract $ 113,843.80
Inspection Services $ 540.00
Bidding Advertisement $ 6,433.27
Total Project Cost $ 120,817.07
The Project is now complete, and staff recommend that City Council ratify the changes to the original scope of work, accept completed improvements, and assume ongoing maintenance responsibility for the Morada Street – CMU Block Wall Improvement Project. Acceptance of the improvements by the City Council will render the project complete. Staff further recommend that the City Council authorize the City Clerk to record the Notice of Completion and authorize the Finance Director to release a 5% retention amount to Leonida Builders, Inc. for the construction project.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this project has been budgeted in the FY 2024-2025, project Morada Street – CMU Block Wall Improvement Project, 5239 Morada Street (Account No. 48-80-800-45200-8247). The total project cost is $120,817.07, which is $79,182.93 less than the budgeted amount of $200,000.00. The 5% retention amount for Leonida Builders, Inc. is $5,692.19. Sufficient funding is available to pay for this amount.

Background and Analysis:
In 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB1) established a Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) to address basic road maintenance and rehabilitation of state highways and local streets and roads.
Pursuant to Section 2032 of the Streets and Highways Code, a percentage of the funding from the new Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account will be allocated to eligible cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on local streets and roads.

Background and Analysis:
On or about June 28, 2001, in the Fiscal Year 2001-2002, the City Council of the City of Irwindale ("City Council") adopted the Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) and established a sewer maintenance charge for the Sewer Maintenance District for the manner of levying such charge and maximum amounts to be charged for the fiscal year pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets & Highways Code § 5000 et seq.) (“Act”);
Furthermore, in Fiscal Year 2001-2002, the City of Irwindale (“City”) formed the Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) Resolution Number 2001-42-1762, to generate revenue and finance the cost of providing maintenance for the existing public street lighting system within the Irwindale Business Center. The Irwindale Business Center is a 116-acre private industrial development and the improvements to be maintained within the Street Lighting Maintenance District are appurtenant thereto within and benefiting all assessable parcels of land within the Street Lighting Maintenance District.
In order to maintain the Sewer Assessment District and the Street Lighting Assessment District, both located within the Irwindale Business Center, (each, “Assessment District” and collectively, “Assessment Districts”) and to establish the charge rate for the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 assessments, the City retained a professional engineering consulting firm for the preparation of the Engineer's Report for each Assessment District. The Engineer's Report for the Irwindale Business Center Sanitation and Sewage System is prepared in accordance with the methodology stated in Section 5473 of the Health and Safety Code. The Engineer's Report for the Irwindale Business Center Street Lighting Maintenance District is prepared in accordance with the methodology stated in Article 4, Chapter 1, Part 2, Division
15 of the Streets and Highways Code, beginning with section 22565 et seq.
1. The proposed assessments will defray the City's costs in the administration of the Assessment Districts. The property owners will have an opportunity to address the City Council concerning the assessment district during the public hearing scheduled to be held during the virtual City Council Meeting on July 23, 2025. Following the completion of the public hearing, the City Council will vote on the property assessments for the street lighting and sewer maintenance charges for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and instruct the County Assessor’s office for the collection of tax bills.
2. Copies of the two draft Engineer’s Reports are included with the Resolution for each Assessment District.
a. The Sewer Maintenance District anticipated assessment levy is $1,608.62 per Benefit Unit for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, which is based on the estimated cost of operations, maintenance, and future lift station replacement for that year. b. The Street Lighting Maintenance District assessment to be levied is based upon each parcel within the boundaries of the District and the assessment was based solely on the benefit received from the streetlight maintenance. The Assessment per Benefit Unit is $155.33.
Fiscal Impact:
All costs for the maintenance and administration of the two Assessment Districts are budgeted and accounted for in the City’s Irwindale Business Center Assessment District Funds 44 and 45. There is no impact to General Fund expenditures, and there is nominal revenue reimbursed to the General Fund as administrative overhead for staff time allocated to the two assessment districts.

Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center)
I. Introduction
To establish a revenue source based on benefit to property for funding the maintenance of public sewer facilities in the 116-acre private development, Irwindale Business Center, the City Council directed the City Engineer to facilitate the formation of the Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) (the “District”) under the Health and Safety Code (“H&SC”), Sections 5470 et. seq., entitled "Sanitation and Sewerage Systems" which provides a method for collecting funds for the maintenance of sewer facilities on the property tax bills. The funding supported the maintenance of a sewer system and a lift station and the future replacement of the lift station (estimated for the year 2026) in the area known as the Irwindale Business Center.
In Fiscal Year 2001/2002, the City Council of the City of Irwindale (the “City”) established the Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center). The noticing and balloting requirements and other applicable provisions of Article XIIID of the California State Constitution were followed with respect to the formation of the Sewer Charge. It was determined that the sewer maintenance charge was a property-related charge and should be levied upon each parcel within the boundaries of the Irwindale Business Center. A maximum charge rate of $829.38 per benefit unit (“BU”) was established for Fiscal Year 2001/2002.
The rate imposed each year will be based on the estimated cost of operations, maintenance, and future lift station replacement for that year. For any year in which all other rates imposed under the Sewer Charge are adjusted by the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), the maximum rate will also be adjusted by the CPI.
Section 5473 of the H&SC requires this Engineer's Report (“Report”) to be prepared and filed with the City Clerk each year for the purpose of establishing the charge rate. The charge rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is presented herein in accordance with the methodology as set forth below.
Following approval of this Report, the City Council will hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the levy of the charge as proposed or as modified.
II. Description of the Improvements
The City's existing sewer system facilities in the Irwindale Business Center include approximately 7,500 L.F. of 8" to 12" VCP gravity public sewer main and a sewer lift station, (3'-6" X 14", 1400 GPM, 75 HP dry well pumps and a 12,000 gallon wet well) built to capacity for the project.

Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center)
III.Estimate of Cost
The cost of operation, maintenance, servicing of the improvements and the replacement of the lift station for Fiscal Year 2025/2026, as described above, are summarized herein and described as below.
SEWER MAINTENANCE COST ESTIMATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 Beginning Fund Balances (07/01/2025)
Lift Station Replacement Fund Balance $338,474
Total Beginning Fund Balances $338,474
Budget Items
Annual Maintenance Cost (Sewer) $14,110
Annual Maintenance Cost (Lift Station) 10,000
City Administration 23,380
District Administration 2,269
Public Notice Publication 620
Legal Fees 170
LA County Assessor’s – Admin Fee 56
Maintenance & Administration Costs $50,605
Replace Lift Station / Bypass System(1) $127,272
Balance to Levy (2) $177,876
Total BU 110.58
Levy per BU FY 2025/2026 $1,608.62
Max Rate per BU FY 2025/2026 $1,608.6230
Estimated Ending Fund Balances (06/30/2026)
Lift Station Replacement Fund Balance (1) $465,745
Total Ending Fund Balances $465,745
(1) Annual cost for the replacement of the lift station at the end of its useful life estimated to occur in the year 2016. This cost was estimated to be $750,000 in 2000. Due to increased equipment, material, and labor costs in 2007 the Los Angeles County Maintenance Division recommended a 30% increase to this estimate to a cost of replacement of $975,000. In addition, in 2014 the Los Angeles County Maintenance Division recommended construction of a bypass system to allow for continuous operation while routine maintenance continues to be performed on the gravity sewer main. Furthermore, the replacement of the station sewer piping shall use stainless steel pipes instead of ductile iron pipes. This increased the cost from $975,000 to $1,325,000.
The replacement of the gravity sewer main was scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 2014/2015 and was estimated to be completed in 2-3 years. As such, the total amount to collect became $1,325,000 - $825,000 (Collected through Fiscal Year 2013/2014) = $500,000 over the next 6 years starting Fiscal Year 2014/2015. Annual charge starting Fiscal Year 2014/2015 = $500,000/6 years = $83,333.33 per year. However, the City unexpectedly did emergency repair and replacement in Fiscal Year 2014/2015, as explained below, which depleted the funds. The City will continue to collect toward the Lift Station replacement to the maximum capacity allowed in order to replenish the fund.
(2) The net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District being the total operating, maintaining, and servicing costs. Actual levy to the Los Angeles County will vary due to rounding.

Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center)
IV. Method of Apportionment and Rate Calculator
The land use for all of the parcels within the boundaries of the Sewer Maintenance District area as the area fully develops will be industrial. It has been determined that the sewer maintenance charge is a property related charge, and that a charge based on parcel acreage is a reasonable method for apportioning the maintenance costs. The special benefit will be expressed as a Benefit Unit (“BU”). For every parcel one benefit unit (1.00 BU) will be assigned per acre.
• Developed and undeveloped parcels will be assessed one (1) benefit unit per acre. • Exempt from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public easements and rights-of-ways. Also exempt from assessment would be utility rights-of-way, common areas, and sliver parcels not developable, as these parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
The sewer lift station located on parcel 8417-036-900, the storm water detention basin on parcel 8417-027-094 which later became parcel 8417-027-908 and the utility easement to Valley County Water District on parcel 8417-035-900 do not benefit from the sewer system, and are exempt from the maintenance charge.
Southern California Edison has purchased parcel 8417-036-002 which became 8417- 036-800. This parcel is not exempt from the Sewer Maintenance District and is assessed as parcel 9014-800-001 (State Board of Equalization assigned parcel number or "SBE”).
The Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Sewer Maintenance District rate is calculated as follows:
The Maximum Allowable Assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is $1,608.6230. The rate is calculated by adjusting the maximum rate established for Fiscal Year 2001/02 of $829.38 per BU by the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for All Items, All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Area for the prior year (CPI April 2024 = 332.572, CPI April 2025 = 342.565, increase of 93.978% cumulatively).
Sewer Maintenance Total Costs: $177,876
Sewer Maintenance District Rate Fiscal Year 2025/2026:
$177,876.38 ÷ 110.58 Total BU = $1,608.62/BU
Maximum Sewer Maintenance District Rate: $1,608.6230/BU This maximum rate reflects the April 2024 to April 2025 CPI increase of 3.00% over last year’s maximum rate of $1,561.6977.

Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) V. Method of Apportionment of Assessment
A) General
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and servicing of street lights.
The 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. Section 22573 provides that:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” In addition, Article XIIID requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.
B) Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis
In conjunction with the provisions of the 1972 Act, Article XIIID addresses several key criteria for the levy of assessments, notably:
Article XIIID Section 2(d) defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”;
Article XIIID Section 2(i) defines Special benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.
General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIIID Section 4(a) defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be
2025/2026 City of Irwindale Page 6
Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”
This District was formed to establish and provide for the improvements that enhance the presentation of the surrounding properties and developments. These improvements will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape and lighting improvements within the existing District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the assessment revenues generated by District will be used solely for such purposes.
The costs of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support.
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.
To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements. The improvements and the associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District. The various public improvements and the associated costs have been identified as either “general benefit” (not assessed) or “special benefit”.
2025/2026 City of Irwindale Page 7
Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) C) Apportionment by Parcel Size
Acreage has been selected as the principal unit for calculating the special benefit conferred upon the parcels by the street lighting improvements and for apportioning the total assessment. The special benefit will be expressed as Benefit Unit (BU). Every parcel will be assigned one benefit unit (1.0 BU) per acre. • All developed and undeveloped parcels. All parcels will be assessed one (1) benefit unit per acre.
• Exempt. Exempt from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public easements and rights-of-ways. Also exempt from assessment would be utility rights-of-way, common areas, and sliver parcels not developable, as these parcels do not benefit from the improvements. The storm water detention basin on parcel 8417-027-094, which became 8417-027-908 and the utility easement to Valley County Water District on parcel 8417-035-900 do not benefit from the lighting system and are exempt from the lighting assessment.
Southern California Edison has purchased parcel 8417-036-002, which became 8417-036-800. This parcel is not exempt from the lighting assessment and is assessed as State Board of Equalization (“SBE”) parcel 9014-800-001.
The sewer lift station located on parcel 8417-036-900 benefits: therefore, it is not exempt and is included in the lighting assessment.
A summary of Benefit Unit (BU) rates is shown in the table below:
Land-Use Category Basic Unit BU Factor BU Rates
Exempt 0 acres X 0.0 = 0.0 BU/Acre
All other 1 acres X 1.0 = 1.0 BU/Acre
D) Special Benefit Determination
Street Lighting: Proper maintenance and operation of the street lighting system benefits all properties by enhancing overall safety, mitigating crime, alleviating the fear of crime, and promoting business and industry.
Street lighting provides special and direct benefit to all properties within the District as these lighting benefits are directly related to the positive enhancement of the area and therefore increase property desirability.

Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) E) Assessment Rate Calculation
The Maximum Allowable Assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is $188.6987.
This rate is calculated by adjusting the maximum rate established for Fiscal Year 2001/2002 of $97.2900 per Benefit Unit by the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for All Items, All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area.
The maximum rate reflects the April 2024 to April 2025 CPI increase of 3.00% over the maximum rate of $183.1942 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
As shown in the budget in section IV, the assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is $155.33 per BU.
Each year, as the City maintains the existing street lighting improvements, the rate per BU will be calculated according to the current year's operations and maintenance budget.

Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
During the current fiscal year, the City has completed multiple Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects under the budget listed herein, resulting in a surplus of existing CIP funds available in the fiscal year 2024-2025 and allowing for the reallocation of funds to additional CIP projects as follows:
1. The recent rainstorms have caused significant damage to the Community Center Skylight, causing it to leak due to various factors, including damaged roofing material, poor drainage, flashing. To make the necessary repairs, a Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) project must be established to address the issues. Staff estimate the repair cost to be approximately $300,000, of which there is sufficient funding in the existing FY 2024-2025 adopted budget that can be reallocated from the General Fund (“GF”) (01) to the CIP Fund (48), requiring the City Council’s approval.
2. On July 24, 2024, the contract for construction of the Swimming Pool Improvements Project Phase I was awarded and its Notice of Completion was approved by the City Council at the meeting of May 14, 2025. Time has come to start the design work for Phase II of the project, which predominantly consists of renovating both the downstairs and upstairs office areas. The estimated amount for the design and development of detailed plans, specifications, and construction documents necessary for this project is $500,000. Sufficient funding is also available in the current budget that can be reallocated from the GF (01) to the CIP Fund (48) in the amount of $39,308.28 plus transfer of $460,691.72 from the surplus of completed CIPs as follows:
• CIP No. 8206 - $11,421 – Close & remove from Budget
• CIP No. 8228 - $159,306 - The CIP # is still in use
• CIP No. 8243 – $32.56 – Close & remove from Budget
• CIP No. 8246 - $2,949.23 – Close & remove from Budget • CIP No. 8247 - $79,182.93 – Close & remove from Budget • CIP No. 8506 - $105,000 – After transfer of GF Close & remove from Budget • CIP No. 8804 - $102,800 – After transfer of GF Close & remove from Budget Sub-total $460,691.72
3. The Public Library Improvement Project (CIP No. 8230) carries budgeted amounts from
multiple sources that were approved by the City Council at various times. This project primarily carries funding from the State Library Building Forward Grant (SB129) funds plus the City’s matching amount. Additionally, its budget also includes: a $1,500,000 from GF approved on July 24, 2024, and $412,669.77 reimbursement from CJPIA insurance company for a sustained fire loss at the Irwindale Rock House. Staff are seeking to separate the project into two CIPs, with the new one being called “The Public Library Improvement Project Phase II (CIP No. 8251)” to ease the process of tracking and reporting of all grants covered expenditures expeditiously.
The CJPIA Proof of Loss and Subrogation Agreement also had a special clause holding back the amount of $174,899.77 which was to be disbursed if the city built a replacement structure, approximately 1070 square feet, at any location within 10 years ending July 2026.
On December 8, 2021, the City Council approved the use of the entire insurance proceeds, including the holdback amount, towards the Irwindale Public Library Expansion Project (now known as Public Library Improvement Project (CIP No. 8230)). Staff are also seeking the City Council's approval to record and appropriate this amount, if and when received, in the newly established CIP No. 8251.
On January 25, 2025, the City Council held the Irwindale Public Library’s Groundbreaking Ceremony. The costs of this event, totaling $6,896.92, were inadvertently paid for by the General Fund (account 01-44-440-42240-8230). The staff are seeking the City Council’s approval to reimburse the GF (01) from CIP No. 8230 Fund (48).
For the Civic Center - Exterior Improvement Project (CIP No. 8245), which was funded 68%, equaling $849,575 by Development Impact Fee (“DIF”) Funds, staff recommend defunding that portion of the funding and reverting it to its Fund Balance. Sometime in the near future, staff will provide the City Council with a new cost estimate and alternative funding source(s) for consideration.
Also, for the Highway Bridge Maintenance Program Project (CIP No. 8505), which was funded 82.6% by the Mining Impact Fund (“MIF”) and 17.4% Gas Tax Fund, staff is recommending defunding the MIF ($385,239) and reducing Gas Tax Fund from $81,152 to $50,000 allowing $31,152 to be reverted to its Fund Balance.
In an effort to start projects timely and to adjust, close, and remove completed projects off the current CIP budget list, staff recommend the City Council approve the budget amendment to the FY 2024-2025 adopted budget by adding these three new CIPs and authorizing budget transfers as prescribed to fund these projects.
Fiscal Impact:
Approving Resolution No. 2025-47-3635 will authorize the Finance Director to amend the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Adopted Budget by adding three new Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) Projects: 1) Community Center Skylight Replacement (CIP No. 8249) for $300,000; 2) Swimming Pool Improvements Project Phase II (design work only) (CIP No. 8250) for $500,000; 3) Public Library Improvement Project Phase II (CIP No. 8251) for $1,905,772.85. Also, transferring, closing, and removing all available budgets from certain accounts and/or completed projects to fund these
projects.

From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Recreational Vehicle Parking on City Streets
City Manager's Recommendation:
Discuss the parking of recreational vehicles on City streets and provide direction to staff.

Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
On April 9, 2025, staff provided information to the City Council relating to recreation vehicle parking on City streets, including the Council’s previous discussions related to this matter. At the conclusion of the meeting, Council requested staff to provide additional information on the following: Ordinance regulating recreational vehicle parking, property acquisition for recreational vehicle parking, and Code Enforcement / Safety concerns.
Ordinance
With the assistance of the City Clerk’s office, the staff solicited sample ordinances from California cities, receiving ordnances or the municipal code from the cities of Laguna Beach, Napa, Hollister, Hughson, La Puente, Manhattan Beach, Menlo Park, Monrovia, Napa, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, and Covina. Should the Council desire to implement an ordinance for recreational vehicle parking, then staff will need to work with the City Attorney’s office to draft the ordinance.
Property Acquisition
There are currently twelve available properties for purchase ranging from .40 acres to 2.55 acres and ranging from $4,475,000 to $11,003,000 in asking price (see attached List of Available Properties).
Should the City Council desire to explore purchasing a site for residents to park their recreational vehicles staff will report back on the condition of the property, infrastructure needs, City liability, security needs, and other purchasing considerations.
Code Enforcement / Safety Concerns
Code Enforcement has reported that they have received two calls related to recreational vehicle parking. The calls were related to private property owners making improvements within the front yard setback of their properties, enabling the property owners to park their recreational vehicles on their personal property. There is nothing in the Irwindale Municipal Code that prohibits this type of improvement on private property. Code enforcement is aware that some ordinances related to recreation vehicles require recreation vehicles parked on private property to be parked behind a fence or screened.
The Irwindale Police Department has observed individuals residing in their recreational vehicles fulltime and parking them for extended periods of time on Cypress and the railroad tracks (Los Angeles Street between Azusa Canyon Road and Park Street). Officers have seen visible stains on the ground consistent with people dumping their gray or black tanks, creating health concerns.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact related to this matter.

EXHIBIT A
Ordinance No. 1123
11.24.075 Removal of vehicles parked in violation of oversized vehicle restriction A. Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to reduce the adverse impacts associated with oversized vehicle parking. Such impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Oversized vehicle parking raises unique public safety concerns, including the obstruction of access to rights-of-way, reduced sight distance and reduced visibility at intersections.
2. Oversized vehicles are typically heavier vehicles or trailers and thus have the potential to cause excessive wear and tear on roadways.
3. Oversized vehicle parking has been the source of environmental hazards in the City by discharging waste into the street. Such waste includes gas, oil, human waste, and other forms of hazardous waste. These discharges create unsanitary conditions for members of the public and also result in downstream impacts such as waste flows into the City’s storm drains and receiving waterways.
4. Some oversized vehicles accumulate and discharge trash and debris in and around areas where vehicles are parked. The accumulation and storage of trash, debris, and other personal items in and around areas where oversized vehicles are parked has caused unsanitary conditions and accessibility hazards by obstructing and/or blocking walkways and preventing safe passage.

ii. exceeds seven and a half feet in width; or
iii. exceeds 22 feet in length; or
iv. exceeds 10,000 pounds in weight.
v. To determine the height, width or length of a vehicle, any extension to the vehicle caused by the mirrors, air conditioners, or similar attachments allowed by Vehicle Code §§35109, 35110, or 35111 of the Vehicle Code, shall not be included.
2. Any camp trailer, camper, fifth wheel travel trailer, house car, mobile home, trailer, trailer coach, as defined in Vehicle Code §§242, 243, 324, 362, 396, 630, 635, or any recreational vehicle as defined in Health and Safety Code §18010.
C. Parking of oversized vehicles prohibited.
Except as provided in subsection (d) below, no person shall stop, stand, park, or leave standing any oversized vehicle on any public street in the City between the hours of 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.
The city manager or their designee, shall place signage on streets sufficient to give adequate notice of this prohibition.
D. Exemptions.
The prohibition in subsection (c) shall not apply to any of the following:
1. Oversized vehicles involved in an emergency or being repaired under emergency conditions. Emergency parking may be allowed for eight consecutive hours where an Oversized vehicle is left parked on a city street because of a mechanical breakdown or because of physical incapacity of the driver or owner.
2. Oversized vehicles belonging to federal, state, local authorities, or utility companies or agencies that are parked while the operator of the oversized vehicle is conducting official business.

5. Oversized vehicles that are parked on public streets immediately abutting the oversized vehicle’s registered owner’s address of record for no more than twice during any seven-day period and for the purposes of loading and unloading, cleaning, or other activity preparatory or incident to travel.

The chief of police or their designee shall adopt administrative regulations governing the implementation of this Section. Said regulations may include notice, vehicle storage and property inventory policies.
F. Violations.
Violations of this Section shall be subject to the following penalties: (1) the issuance of citations in an amount set forth in the Menlo Park Master Fee Schedule, and/or (2) the towing of any oversized vehicle that remains in violation of this Section following issuance of notice of violation. Any member of the police department authorized by the chief of police may tow and/or cause to be removed a vehicle that is stopped, standing or parked in violation of this Section, from the street or highway in the manner and subject to the requirements of Vehicle Code §22650 et seq.

Good Morning Friend,
Below are links to the City of Covina Municipal Code. Let me know if you have any questions.
Covina Municipal Code - Parking
There is no overnight parking allowed in Covina between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. with certain exceptions.
https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Covina/#!/Covina10/Covina1032.html#10.32.180
10.32.180 All-night parking prohibited.
No person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle on any highway or in any off-street parking lot of the city between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., excepting therefrom those streets abutting RD residential zone (multifamily) property, permissibly developed under prior zoning and building standards, where off-street parking no longer conforms to the provisions of CMC Title 17 (Zoning) and a ratio of 0.5 or less parking stalls per bedroom unit exists with a resultant acute shortage of off-street parking spaces. Also excepting therefrom those alleys that are not in conflict with traffic circulation. The city council finds that the following streets are exempt from the above restriction:
A. That portion of Prospero Drive from a point 663 feet north of the centerline of Badillo Street to a point 1,530 feet north of the centerline of Badillo Street; B. That portion of Ruddock Street from Prospero Drive to the cul-de-sac east of the intersection with Vecino Drive;

pursuant to the on-street overnight parking program as established by the police chief. The provisions of CMC 10.32.180 shall also not apply to any person who owns or has possession, custody, or control of any recreational vehicle, and who obtains an on-street overnight parking permit from the police chief, or his or her designee, pursuant to the on-street parking program as established by the police chief.
1. Upon a person’s request for an on-street overnight parking permit, the police chief, or his or her designee, shall issue the permit, but only after he or she has determined that all of the following conditions exist:
a. A permit fee has been paid to the finance department or police department. b. The granting of the one-day on-street overnight parking permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
2. Upon a person’s application for an annual on-street overnight parking permit, upon a form provided by and filed with the finance department, the police chief, or his or her designee, shall issue the permit, but only after it is determined that all of the following conditions exist:
a. A permit fee has been paid to the finance department or the police department; b. There are unusual circumstances that prevent the person from accommodating the parking of family passenger vehicles upon the resident’s on-site parking area; c. The police chief, or his or her designee, has conducted an investigation of the property where the applicant resides and determines that there is insufficient parking area to park vehicles in the existing garage or driveway; d.

Item #21.D.
Date: May 28, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approving and Adopting the Vision Zero Policy and the Safe Streets for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
City Manager's Recommendation:
That the City Council (1) approve and adopt the Safe Streets for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan; and (2) approve and adopt the Vision Zero Policy Resolution No. 2025-36-3624 entitled, “A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE APPROVING AND ADOPTING A VISION ZERO POLICY AND THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ACTION PLAN.” Administrative Action:
Submitted by:
Eddie Chan, Director of Engineering/ Building Official
Prepared by:
Luis Pimentel, Associate Engineer
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the new Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program, with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years, 2022-2026. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. The SS4A program supports the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Roadway Safety Strategy and goal of zero roadway deaths.
On Feb. 1, 2023, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced $800 million in grant awards for 511 projects through the first round of funding for the SS4A grant program. The program supports the development of a comprehensive safety action plan (Action Plan) that identifies the most significant roadway safety concerns in a community and the implementation of projects and strategies to address roadway safety issues. Action Plans are the foundation of the SS4A grant program. SS4A requires an eligible Action Plan to be in place before applying to implement projects and strategies.
Action Plan grants assist communities that do not currently have a roadway safety plan in place to reduce roadway fatalities, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive set of actions.
The City of Irwindale was awarded an Action Plan grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the amount of $184,000. The Action Plan grant supports up to 80% of the total cost of developing an action plan for the City and the City provides a 20% share in the amount of $46,000. The total estimated cost of developing the action plan at grant submittal was $230,000.
At the City Council meeting on September 19, 2023, the SS4A Grant Agreement was approved and subsequently submitted to FHWA for execution. FHWA executed the agreement which is required in order for grant recipients to be eligible for reimbursement of SS4A Action Plan expenditures.
At the City Council meeting on April 10, 2024, a contract was awarded to GTS for the development of a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan in the amount of $183,860.
Over the past year, GTS along with Engineering staff, has been working diligently on drafting the City of Irwindale’s SS4A Action Plan based on historical crash data and public comments. These comments were received via three (3) Community Outreach events in which the community was surveyed and voiced their safety concerns within the city, five (5) Implementation Group meetings in which stakeholders were able to provide their concerns and give valuable insight on safety issues and also on the project website where users were able to leave comments on an interactive map of the city and fill out the surveys that were presented at the community outreach events. GTS and staff reviewed all the
comments and data and have composed the SS4A Action Plan based on the information received.
With the SS4A Action Plan and Vision Zero Resolution adopted, the City is eligible to apply for implementation grants to design and implement the safety improvements that are outlined in the plan.
Fiscal Impact:

VISION ZERO RESOLUTION
4 City of Irwindale - Safe Streets for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan The Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Comprehensive
Safety Action Plan for the City of Irwindale is
a framework for improving roadway safety by
significantly reducing or eliminating the number
of roadway fatalities and injuries in the City
of Irwindale. The SS4A program was established
as a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act.
Passed in 2021, the legislation provided funding
for a multitude of transportation projects,
including discretionary programs related to
transportation safety. The SS4A program in
particular focuses on supporting the United
States Department of Transportation’s (US DOT)
goal of eliminating roadway fatalities and their
National Roadway Safety Strategy.
The City of Irwindale, California (2020 Census
population: 1,472) is in eastern Los Angeles
County in the San Gabriel Valley, as shown in
Exhibit 1. Most of the city is zoned as commercial,
manufacturing, quarry, or open space, while the
residential areas are located in the southeastern
portion of the city adjacent to Irwindale Avenue
and Arrow Highway, as well as in the northwestern
part of the City.As a result, Irwindale sees a
large amount of truck and pass-through traffic,
including from the nearby interstates.
The City of Irwindale decided to pursue funding
through the SS4A program to improve the
safety of its transportation infrastructure.
This SS4A plan addresses safety for all users,
including those driving, walking, or biking.
Through collaboration with local stakeholders
and community members, as well as guidance
from FHWA’s Safe System approach and
SS4A’s Action Plan Components, the City has
developed this comprehensive safety action
plan. This plan will act as a guide for the City in
its implementation of prioritized roadway safety
improvements aimed at reducing the number
of fatal and injury collisions.
In addition to providing the City a framework to
reduce vehicle collisions and fatalities, this plan
will make the City eligible for implementation
grant funding through the SS4A program. Aside
from providing funds for projects outlined in
this plan, implementation grants can also be
used for demonstration activities and additional
planning for projects relating to this plan.
This plan was developed using the process
established by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), including the
following eight components:
1. Leadership Commitment and Goal
Setting
2. Planning Structure
3. Safety Analysis
4. Engagement and Collaboration
5. Equity Considerations
6. Policy and Process Changes
7. Strategy and Project Selections
8. Progress and Transparency
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Program
5 City of Irwindale - Safe Streets for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Title 23, Chapter 4, Section 407 of U.S. Code
states the following applicable to this report and
associated data:
Discovery and admission as evidence of certain
reports and surveys
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
reports, surveys, schedules, lists, or data compiled
or collected for the purpose of identifying,
evaluating, or planning the safety enhancement
of potential accident sites, hazardous roadway
conditions, or railway-highway crossings,
pursuant to sections 130, 144, and 148 of this title
or for the purpose of developing any highway
safety construction improvement project which
may be implemented utilizing Federal-aid
highway funds shall not be subject to discovery
or admitted into evidence in a Federal or State
court proceeding or considered for other
purposes in any action for damages arising
from any occurrence at a location mentioned or
addressed in such reports, surveys, schedules,
lists, or data.
The Safety Action Plan development process
was initiated with a kick-off meeting to establish
goals, objectives, and the requirements to be
met. This was followed by the establishment
of a multi-disciplinary Implementation Group,
charged with oversight of the plan’s development,
implementation, and monitoring, and consisting
of representatives from local and regional
stakeholder entities. The Implementation
Group held five meetings during a time period
that overlapped with an extensive community
engagement program. Community engagement
tools and activities included an interactive
website where users could post comments on
a City map and complete a survey; in-person
and virtual public meetings; and outreach via
social media and flyers in both Spanish and
English. Input received from the Implementation
Group and from the community (through the
various channels of input) was used to guide
the plan’s development and was instrumental in
developing the recommendations contained in
the plan.
In parallel with stakeholder and community
engagement activities, a baseline assessment
of collision data was carried out. Collision data,
as well as community and stakeholder input,
formed the basis for the analysis of existing
conditions and historical trends. This allowed
for the development of a baseline assessment
of collisions throughout the City, which includes
analysis of collision severity, collision type,
contributing factors, location, travel mode, time
of day, weather, and several other variables.

The initial assessment of collision trends was
followed by statistical network screening using
Highway Safety Manual Methods to identify
locations with higher-than-expected collision
activity. This resulted in the establishment of a
high-injury network, consisting of intersections
and corridors within the City with the highest
rates and/or incidence of injury and fatal
collisions. These intersections and corridors
were then ranked by collision frequency and
Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO)
scores, as documented in the Highway Safety
Manual. In this method, weighting factors
related to the societal costs of fatal, injury, and
property damage-only collisions are assigned to
collisions by severity to develop an equivalent
property damage-only score that considers the
frequency and severity of collisions.
