Technical Disruptions - If a technical issue prevents remote public observation or participation and City personnel cannot immediately correct the problem, the City Council will recess the meeting while the City takes further corrective action. If remote access cannot be restored within one hour, the City Council may continue the meeting only after confirming that the City made good faith efforts to restore service and finding that the public interest in proceeding outweighs the need for remote access. These procedures also apply to disruptions affecting Councilmembers participating remotely.

Comments from the Public - The public is encouraged to address the City Council on any matter posted on the agenda or on any other matter within its jurisdiction. If you wish to address the City Council, you may do so during the Comments from the Public period noted on the agenda. Each person is allowed 3-minutes speaking time.

Pursuant to provisions of the Brown Act, no action may be taken on a matter unless it is listed on the agenda, or unless certain emergency or special circumstances exist. The City Council may direct staff to investigate and/or schedule certain matters for consideration at a future City Council meeting.

Levine Act - To promote transparency and fairness in government decision-making, the Levine Act imposes contribution prohibitions and disclosure requirements. Specifically, any elected or appointed City officer is prohibited from making or attempting to influence a decision in a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use if the officer received a contribution of more than $500 within the preceding 12 months from a party or their agent. (Gov. Code § 84308(c)(1).) Additionally, parties to proceedings involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use pending before any elected or appointed City officer must disclose any campaign contributions exceeding $500 that they made within the preceding 12 months. (Gov. Code § 84308(e)(1).) For more information please visit: https://lcf.ca.gov/city-clerk/levine-act/.

Discussion/Analysis:

A. PROJECTS IN CONSTRUCTION PHASE

1. Mayor’s Discovery Park Improvement (CIP 31-2213): The project consists of expanding recreational activities and various maintenance improvements to the park. On July 15, 2025, the City Council adopted the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) and authorized staff to advertise the project for construction bids. The project was then advertised on July 24, 2025, and bids were uploaded to Planet Bids on August 28, 2025. On September 16, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Crosby Plumbing, Inc. On December 2, 2025, the City Council approved Transtech’s Cost Proposal in the amount of $138,032 to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services during construction of the project and authorized the City Manager to sign a Task Order in the said amount. Construction started on December 1, 2025, and was substantially completed on May 30, 2026. Contractor completed punch list items and submittal of final documentation. The Landscape Maintenance Period started on May 15, 2026 and will end on November 13, 2026. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on June 25, 2026, after which the park was open to public. The City Council will consider approval and acceptance of the Contractor’s work under a separate item on tonight’s agenda.

2. Foothill Boulevard Street Remediation (Dip) – (CIP 31-2306): The project consists of the repair of the road segment between EL Camino Porto and Cypress Drive by pressure grouting method to stabilize the subgrade to a depth of approximately 45 feet; repair of the existing Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) located at approximately 45 feet under this segment of Foothill Boulevard and the parking lot of Lutheran Church in the Foothills (LCIF) by jacking a 36” High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe to strengthen the existing CMP; construction of a jacking pit in the parking lot of the LCIF; installation of FMWD’s temporary diversion water line during construction; installation of FMWD’s permanent 24-inch water line; removal and replacement of the median, curb and gutter; landscaping improvements; resurfacing of the pavement; and other related work.

On December 3, 2024, the City Council awarded the design contract to GMU Geotechnical and Geologists, Inc. for the preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) and design support during construction. On May 6, 2025, the City Council awarded a contract to Willdan Engineering to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services during construction of the Project.

Construction is expected to be done in three phases. The first phase consists of construction of a jacking pit in LCIF parking lot; jacking a 36” High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe northerly and southerly from the jacking pit to strengthen the existing CMP located at approximately 45 feet under Foothill Boulevard and the LCIF parking lot; and other related work. On February 17, 2026, the City Council approved the right of entry agreement with LCIF, adopted the PS&E and authorized Public Works to advertise the first phase the project for construction bids. Three bids were uploaded to Planet Bids on March 19, 2026. Upon staff review of all bid proposals, the apparent lowest bidder was found to be non-responsive due to missing vital information in the proposal and discrepancies in pricing of many items. Also, the bidder was found not responsible due to lack of experience in projects with similar scope and complexity. On April 17, 2026, the City Council rejected all bids. Staff will explore and recommend to the City Council other construction methods at a future meeting. Staff conducted another survey on July 29, 2026, and found out of 73 survey points, of which 29 points showed additional settlement between 0.03 and less than 0.06 feet and 44 points showed additional settlement less than 0.03 feet. The additional settlement is considered negligible compared to the previous results dated April 15, 2024. Staff is currently working with a contractor who is experienced in similar projects for the development of an alternative scope to strengthen the existing CMP.

3. 2026 Citywide Miscellaneous Concrete Repairs (CIP 31-2602): As part of the City’s annual maintenance program, the City proposes to repair sidewalk, curbs, and gutters that are damaged by traffic or by tree roots or have simply deteriorated due to age or use and repair/install ADA curb ramps throughout the City to meet ADA requirements.

On November 18, 2025, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc., in the amount of $313,137. On December 18, 2025, a Notice to Proceed was issued to the contractor for the procurement of the materials and staff completed the review of all material submittals related to the long lead traffic signal equipment. Contractor has completed potholing at the location of the new poles to verify any conflict with existing utilities. As a result, one pole needs to be modified due to its relocation to avoid conflict with utility. Construction started on June 22, 2026 and to be completed on September 9, 2026. Majority of the civil works was completed on July 31, 2026, and the installation of the signal poles is scheduled in late August pending their delivery on schedule.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
Subject: Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments for Participation in the San Gabriel Valley Regional Food Recovery Program Through June 30, 2028
Presenter: Maged El-Rabaa, P.E., Director of Public Works Proposed Action: Motion to: (i) Approve the Attached Memorandum of Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments for Participation in the San Gabriel Valley Regional Food Recovery Program Through June 30, 2028; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Sign the Agreement Subject to Approval as to Form by the City Attorney
Environmental Impact: None
Fiscal Impact: The City’s total share of the cost for the 20-month Agreement is $28,990. The City’s FY 2026-27 costs are $9,220. Sufficient funds are included in the FY 2026-27 Budget in Account 01-52-6061 and will be budgeted appropriately in the following fiscal year.

Background:

SB 1383 (2016) requires all jurisdictions to implement an edible food recovery program that (i) identifies edible food generators (EFGs) and food recovery organizations (FROs) within the jurisdiction, (ii) provides education and outreach of SB 1383 requirements to EFGs and FROs, and (iii) implements compliance procedures. The goal of SB 1383 edible food recovery requirements is to recover at least 20% of currently disposed edible food for human consumption that would otherwise be sent to landfills.

Discussion/Analysis:

Since 2021, the City has participated in the development and implementation of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments’ (SGVCOG) Regional Food Recovery Program. Development and implementation of the program to date has been funded through CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant funds.

In the original 2021 MOA, participating jurisdictions, including La Cañada Flintridge, applied for and received CalRecycle grant funds directly to pay SGVCOG for program expenses.

In 2023, SGVCOG applied as the lead agency on behalf of participating jurisdictions to administer the program and received funds directly. On September 23, 2024, the City Council approved the current MOA, which expires when grant funds expire on November 1, 2026. The proposed MOA continues the City’s participation in the regional program through a new financial model.

Program Highlights
Through the SGVCOG regional program, the City benefits from specialized consultants performing compliance inspections of the nearly 20 edible food generators within the City. Businesses such as supermarkets, grocery stores, restaurants, and other edible food generators must meet certain criteria to be subject to SB 1383 edible food recovery requirements. SGVCOG and their consultants help identify and inspect locations, as well as provide ongoing outreach and education. The City continues to be responsible for enforcement through Notices of Violation, Letters of NonCompliance, and/or assessment of penalties.

MOA Terms and Financial Impact
The proposed MOA is a 20-month term beginning November 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2028.

Expenses include program administration, a per-inspection fee, and continued regional development of food recovery organizations and other food recovery pilot programs.

Based on the current number of EFGs identified in the City, FY 2026-27 costs are estimated to be $9,220 and FY 2027-28 costs are estimated to be $19,770, for a total cost of $28,990. Sufficient funds are included in FY 2026-27 Budget and will be budgeted appropriately in the following fiscal year.

Options:

1. Motion to: (i) Approve the Memorandum of Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments for Participation in the San Gabriel Valley Regional Food Recovery Program Through June 30, 2028; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Sign the Agreement Subject to Approval as to Form by the City Attorney; or

2. Provide staff with further direction.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): (i) Approve the Memorandum of Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments for Participation in the San Gabriel Valley Regional Food Recovery Program Through June 30, 2028; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Sign the Agreement Subject to Approval as to Form by the City Attorney Attachments:

RECITALS
A. The passage of SB 1383 (Lara, 2016) implemented statewide targets to reduce statewide disposal of organic waste and increase recovery of currently disposed edible food for human consumption. Specifically, SB 1383 aims to recover at least 20% of currently disposed edible food for human consumption by 2025. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has developed regulations entitled “Short-lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Reductions” (hereafter “SLCP Regulations”), which regulations are codified at Chapter 12 of Division 7 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, sections 18981.1 et seq.

B. To recover 20% of edible food that would otherwise be sent to landfills by 2025, SB 1383 requires local jurisdictions to establish food recovery programs and strengthen their existing food recovery networks.

C. The SGVCOG was established to have a unified voice to maximize resources and advocate for regional and member interests to improve the quality of life in the San Gabriel Valley by the member cities and other local governmental agencies and has established and is administering a Regional Food Recovery Program (the “Program”).

Exhibit “A”
Scope of Services
Task 1: Program Management
SGVCOG will oversee Program implementation, including but not limited to managing consultants, facilitating the completing of inspections, managing the inspection contract (including the inspection, education, and enforcement process) and supporting compliance reporting with the City for its annual CalRecycle reporting.

Task 2: Inspections and Enforcement
Inspections: SGVCOG and its consultants will complete Inspections of Tier 1 and Tier 2 edible food generators (EFGs) and food recovery organizations (FROs) based on the schedule shown in Table 1.
• Compliance Inspections: Inspections of all Tier 1 and Tier 2 EFGs and FROs to determine compliance with SB 1383, as enumerated in Table 3 of Exhibit B. The following Tier and Tier 2 businesses are defined by CalRecycle:
o Tier 1: Businesses that may have more produce, fresh grocery, and shelf-stable food to donate, including: wholesale food vendors, food service providers, food distributors, and supermarkets & grocery store equal to or less than 10,000 sq. ft. o Tier 2: Businesses that may have prepared food to donate, which often require more careful handing to meet food safety requirements, including: hotels, restaurant facilities, health facilities, state agency cafeterias, local education agencies, and large venues & events.
• Non-Compliance Inspections: Inspections of non-compliant businesses at least 60 days following enforcement actions by the City (including letters of non-compliance and Notices of Violation). For the purposes of this MOA, SGVCOG assumes that 65% of Tier 1 and Tier 2 businesses will require 2 non-compliant inspections, which will be completed in alignment with Table 1. Should the actual percentage of non-compliant businesses be different, SGVCOG and its consultants will complete non-compliant inspections of the actual number of non-compliant businesses.

Enforcement: City staff will be responsible for completing enforcement actions in conjunction with the SGVCOG in accordance with the schedule in Table 1. SGVCOG and its consultants will provide all necessary documentation to City following inspections to facilitate City’s enforcement actions (e.g. notices of violation (NOVs), letters of non-compliance, or financial penalties). • Notice of Violation (NOV): Formal notice issued to a non-compliant EFG or FRO specifying SB 1383 violations, required corrective actions, and a timeline for compliance and financial penalties.
• Letter of Non-Compliance: Notice issued to a non-compliant EFG or FRO specifying SB 1383 violations and corrective actions needed to achieve compliance without issuing financial penalties.
• Financial Penalties: Monetary fines issued to EFGs or FROs that remain out of compliance after a non-compliance inspection following the issuance of an NOV.

AB 413, passed by the California legislature in 2025 and codified in California Vehicle Code §22500, prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within twenty feet (20’) on the approach side of a marked or unmarked crosswalk, or within fifteen feet (15') on the approach side of a curb extension with a crosswalk. AB 413 aims to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety at intersections by “daylighting” their visibility through the reduction of visual obstructions caused by parked cars.

Discussion/Analysis:

The Public Works and Traffic Commission held public hearings on February 19, 2025, and October 22, 2025, to provide feedback to staff on proposed AB 413 red curbing guidelines. These guidelines were approved by the City Council on November 18, 2025, and include the installation of red curbs on the approach side of all marked and unmarked crosswalks in the following high-volume pedestrian areas:
• Signalized arterial intersections
• School zones
• Trail crossings
• Mid-block crosswalks
The guidelines also recognized the intent to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods by limiting the installation of red curb on residential streets to a case-by-case basis.

After City Council approval of the AB 413 installation guidelines, the City Traffic Engineer identified all marked and unmarked crosswalks subject to the guidelines and the Public Works and Traffic

Commission held a public hearing on April 22, 2026, and May 27, 2026, to review and finalize the list of proposed locations (Attachment 1).

Per LCFMC §4.04.047, changes to curb markings may be established for the purpose of alleviating traffic, traffic flow, congestion, and/or hazards detrimental to the public’s health, safety, and/or welfare; shall have the City Traffic Engineer’s specific recommendation; and shall be subject to the review and approval of the Public Works and Traffic Commission. Per LCFMC §8.10.020, the City Council may, by resolution, prohibit or restrict the parking of vehicles.

It should be noted that AB 413 parking restrictions are enforceable through California Vehicle Code §22500 even without the installation of red curb and/or signage. However, the installation of red curb and/or signage increases awareness of the restriction, as well as eases enforcement, thereby improving pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Options:

1. (i) Adopt the Attached Resolution for the Installation of Red Curbing on the Approach to Various Marked and Unmarked Crosswalks in Accordance with AB 413; and (ii) Approve the Installation of Red Curbing at the Attached Locations in Accordance with AB 413; or

2. Provide further direction to staff
Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): (i) Adopt the Attached Resolution for the Installation of Red Curbing on the Approach to Various Marked and Unmarked Crosswalks in Accordance with AB 413; and (ii) Approve the Installation of Red Curbing at the Attached Locations in Accordance with AB 413.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
Subject: Approval of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Between the City of La Cañada Flintridge and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and Eighteen Agencies Regarding the Administration and Cost Sharing for Implementing the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) and Watershed Management Plan (WMP) for the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area
Presenter: Maged El-Rabaa, P.E., Director of Public Works Proposed Action: Motion to: (i) Approve the attached Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Between the City of La Cañada Flintridge and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments and Eighteen Agencies Regarding the Administration and Cost Sharing for Implementing the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) and Watershed Management Plan (WMP) for the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement subject to Approval as to Final Form by the City Attorney Environmental Impact: None
Fiscal Impact: The City’s total share of the cost for the five (5) year Agreement is $145,519. The City’s FY 2026-27 costs are $28,052. Sufficient funds are included in the FY 2026-27 budget in Account 01-53-6061 and will be budgeted appropriately in future years
Background:

In 2012, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) adopted a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4 Permit) for the Los Angeles Region, which identifies permittees consisting of nineteen cities, including the City of La Cañada Flintridge, with responsibilities for compliance within a watershed management area. The 2012 MS4 permit was superseded by the currently active MS4 permit with Order No. R4-2021-0105 in 2021.

In 2013, the City Council approved participation of the City in the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group (ULAR) and authorized the City’s participation in the development of a Watershed Management Plan (WMP) and the associated Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan (CIMP) to comply with the Regional clean water regulations and to share corresponding compliance costs.

In 2015, the City and eighteen other cities entered into an MOA for the administration and cost sharing of the implementation of the CIMP for the ULAR Group. In 2018, the group added the use of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) for contracting services and financial

management of the MOA to provide program efficiencies. This MOA expired in 2023 and was replaced by the current MOA.

On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved the current MOA with the SGVCOG and eighteen other cities, for the administration and cost sharing for implementing the CIMP and WMP for the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area (ULAR), which expired on June 30, 2026.

The Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group (ULAR Group) recently negotiated a new MOA with the same financial and administrative structure. The proposed MOA is being presented to continue the administration and establish an updated cost share based on services used by each member of the ULAR Group.

Discussion/Analysis:

Since 2018, as one of the nineteen agencies of the MOA, the City of Los Angeles has performed monitoring and WMP activities within the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed and proposes to continue to perform the monitoring and WMP services. The proposed MOA will include the following:

CIMP Related Costs
A wide range of monitoring events must be performed among the nineteen agencies. The City will receive the benefit of receiving water monitoring, stormwater outfall monitoring, non-stormwater outfall monitoring, data management, maintenance activities (including equipment maintenance and replacement), development of monitoring sections of the Annual Report, and any additional activities, revisions, and/or requirements related to the CIMP. The City of Los Angeles will be responsible for completing the monitoring services.

WMP Related Costs
The MOA covers a wide range of WMP-related services which must be divided among the nineteen agencies. Services that are being funded through this portion of the MOA are:
(1) The cost of preparing the ULAR Group annual and semi-annual reports, which are required by the Regional Board;
(2) The Adaptive Management review of the WMP;
(3) Effort associated with the Trash Monitoring and Reporting Plan for the Los Angeles River Trash Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL);
(4) Any necessary revision to the WMP;
(5) Website management (lastormh2o.org);
(6) the ULAR Group’s California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) Annual Membership;
(7) Coordination with the Group regarding the MS4 Permit renewal; and (8) Potential penalties or fines from the Regional Board for Permit Notices of Violation or similar violations.

MOA Terms
The proposed MOA has a base term of three (3)-year term with two (2) one-year options for extension, to be agreed upon by the ULAR WMG, and includes the same financial and administrative structure as the expiring MOA.

SGVCOG will continue to manage the financial and contracting obligations of this MOA for an annual fee, included in the cost sharing of the MOA. Cost sharing will continue to be based off ofeach jurisdiction's land area percentage within the ULAR WMA; the City of La Cañada Flintridge’s land area percentage of the ULAR WMA is 1.79%.

The City’s cost share is summarized below. Sufficient funds are included in the FY 2026-27 Budget and funds will be budgeted appropriately in fiscal future years.

Fiscal Year City Cost
FY 2025-26 $28,052
FY 2026-27 $27,589
FY 2027-28 $33,656
FY 2028-29 $27,884

A payment not made within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days after receipt of the invoice from the SGVCOG shall result in the SGVCOG notifying the Regional Board and the PARTIES that the delinquent PARTY is no longer a participating member of the CIMP or WMP. The PARTY shall be deemed to have withdrawn from this MOA and the remaining PARTIES' cost share allocation shall be adjusted in accordance with the cost allocation formula in Table 1 of Exhibit B. Withdrawal shall not relieve a PARTY’s obligation to pay its proportionate share of costs that were due at the time of the deemed withdrawal.
e. Contingency. Each PARTY’s annual invoice will include a contingency of fifteen percent (15%) for MONITORING SERVICES and fifteen percent (15%) for WMPRELATED TASKS, as shown in Exhibit B. Contingency funds will be held by SGVCOG until such time as they are needed. Contingency funds that are used will be applied to each PARTY based on its proportional share. No PARTY will be obligated to pay for additional expenditures which exceed its contingency amounts without an amendment to this MOA.
i. Monitoring Services Contingency. The CITY shall have access to the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency, for paying for or otherwise implementing the MONITORING SERVICES defined in Exhibit A of this MOA. The CITY shall notify the PARTIES before use of the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency is appropriate or required as soon as practicable

2026 – 2031 Upper LA River Watershed MOA
6 but any failure to notify any PARTY or the PARTIES shall not alter, eliminate, or affect the CITY’s right to payment. The CITY will indicate the amount of MONITORING SERVICES Contingency used in its applicable invoice(s) to SGVCOG for implementation of the MONITORING SERVICES. Should the CITY determine in its reasonable discretion that the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency not be necessary for
MONITORING SERVICES, the PARTIES may administratively shift these funds to be used for WMP-RELATED TASKS, consistent with Sections 8(f) and 9(c).
ii. WMP-Related Tasks Contingency. The PARTIES may utilize WMPRELATED TASKS Contingency to complete projects consistent with the WMP-RELATED TASKS defined in Exhibit A. To utilize WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency for a particular purpose or task, the ULAR WMG must come to a majority consensus, using the process defined in Section 9(c), as to whether use of the contingency for the purpose or task proposed is appropriate, as well as the process by which such purpose or task will be implemented. SGVCOG shall reimburse the entity responsible for implementing the approved purpose or task with WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency. Should the WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency not be necessary for WMP-RELATED TASKS, the PARTIES may administratively shift these funds to be used for MONITORING SERVICES, consistent with Sections 8(f) and 9(c).
iii. Other Uses of Contingency. A PARTY or the PARTIES may utilize all or a portion of the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency and WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency to pay for any penalties or fines assessed by the Regional Board. The PARTIES shall agree upon an approach pursuant to the process in Section 9(c) to utilize these funds for this purpose. f. Shifting of Funds. The PARTIES may shift funds collected under this MOA between MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS administratively, without an amendment to this MOA, provided that the overall amount does not exceed the total not-to-exceed amount of this MOA or a PARTY’S annual proportional cost, as set forth in Table 1 of Exhibit B, and if approved by a majority consensus, using the process defined in Section 9(c). Should the CITY require a shift in funds between MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS to implement the MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS, it shall notify the SGVCOG before shifting these funds.
g. Contract Management Fee. The SGVCOG will receive a Contract Management Fee of $100,000 per year for administration of this MOA by the SGVCOG. Each PARTY will be assessed its proportionate share of the annual Contract Management Fee as shown in Table 4 of Exhibit B.

2026 – 2031 Upper LA River Watershed MOA
7 h. Reconciliation of this MOA. SGVCOG and CITY will provide the PARTIES with an annual accounting of expenditures for the prior fiscal year, generally consistent with the format shown in Exhibit E. The annual accounting is intended to provide transparency regarding funds received, expenditures incurred, and any remaining balances associated with the WMG activities. At the end of the MOA, SGVCOG will provide the PARTIES with an accounting of actual expenditures, consistent with the format as shown in Exhibit E, within ninety (90) days of receipt of the necessary information from the CITY. Any unexpended funds held by SGVCOG at the termination of this MOA will be rolled over to cover expenses in any subsequent MOA.

Any other PARTY that does not desire to participate in an additional activity can submit a written request to the SGVCOG that they do not desire to be part of the activity. The non-participating PARTY will not be responsible for its proportionate share of funds to complete the additional project, and the cost will be recalculated amongst the remaining PARTIES.

Section 10. Indemnification. Each PARTY shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each other PARTY, on a pro rata basis, including its special districts, their member agencies, elected and appointed officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and designated volunteers from and against any and all liability, including, but not limited to, demands, claims, actions, fees, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys and expert witness fees), arising from or connected with this MOA; provided, however, that no PARTY shall indemnify another PARTY for that PARTY’s own negligence or willful misconduct.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
Subject: Update on the Implementation of CivicPlus for Agenda Management Software and Media Streaming Services for City Council and City Commission/Committee Meetings
Presenter: Kristin Cook, Director of Administrative Services Tania Garcia, City Clerk
Proposed Action: Receive an update on the implementation of CivicPlus for Agenda Management Software and Media Streaming Services for City Council and City Commission/Committee Meetings
Environmental Impact: This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines Fiscal Impact: None at this time
Background:

In November 2025, the City Council approved an agreement for services with CivicPlus for Agenda Management Software and Media Streaming Services for the City Council and City Commission/Committee meetings. CivicPlus replaced Granicus for these services.

Discussion/Analysis:

The City previously utilized Granicus for managing its City Council and City Commissions/Committees meetings. Granicus was used solely for uploading agenda packets and livestreaming. The change to CivicPlus addressed a labor-intensive agenda creation process and ongoing concerns and challenges regarding the reliability of live-streaming, cybersecurity, and aging hardware. CivicPlus’ software streamlines agenda and packet creation. This means that all agenda reports, agenda packets, and notices of cancellation are now created and approved entirely in the new system. CivicPlus automates the collation of meeting agendas and reports into a single, cohesive, bookmarked PDF packet, regardless of the packet’s size. It also offers secure, dedicated hosting and disaster recovery services. Staff can now easily timestamp meetings in real time and create clear bookmarks for residents using the public portal. This results in interactive, skippable video bookmarks.

Staff spent three months training on the system in early 2026 and launched its first live CivicPlus meeting with the Public Works and Traffic Commission meeting on April 22, 2026. City Council and nearly all Commissions and Committees have had their first meeting with the CivicPlus system.

While staff are still working out some minor issues, the implementation is going well. An ongoing struggle is to make sure that all Commissioners can log into the CivicPlus platform with their @lcf email accounts, but they are improving accessing the platform with each meeting.

Another change made this past year was to institute a policy to do Action Minutes. The transition to Action Minutes has resulted in notable efficiencies; staff is now able to tackle other projects rather than spending countless hours transcribing lengthy meeting minutes. For those who prefer to listen to the entire meeting, the recordings for all meetings are readily available on CivicPlus via the City's website. There are several AI-type options available to transcribe those recordings. Some examples include otter.ai, rev.com, and transcriptionpuppy.com. AI platforms generally start with free tiers or charge around $20 per user per month, while professional human transcription services run between $100 and $200 per audio hour, depending on turnaround time.

Options:

1. Receive an update on the implementation of CivicPlus for Agenda Management Software and Media Streaming Services for City Council and City Commission/Committee Meetings;or

2. Defer action at this time.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): Receive an update and discuss the implementation of CivicPlus for Agenda Management Software and Media Streaming Services for City Council and City Commission/Committee Meetings.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
Subject: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Updated Bail Schedule for Municipal Code and Vehicle Code Violations
Presenter: Madison Dederick, Senior Management Analyst I Proposed Action: Adopt the Resolution approving the updated City of La Cañada Flintridge Bail Schedule for Municipal Code and Vehicle Code violations and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take all administrative actions necessary to implement the updated schedule.

Environmental Impact: This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, as it involves an administrative action related to enforcement penalties and does not have the potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Fiscal Impact: Adoption of the updated bail schedule may result in additional citation revenue depending on the number and type of violations issued.

However, the purpose of the bail schedule is not revenue generation.

The purpose is to establish penalty amounts that support compliance with the La Cañada Flintridge Municipal Code and applicable California Vehicle Code provisions and provide an appropriate deterrent for violations.

Background:

The City’s current bail schedule was last adopted in 2011. Since that time, the cost of living, operational costs, enforcement costs, and general penalty standards have increased substantially.

The 2011 bail amounts are now significantly outdated and, in many cases, are set at levels that may no longer serve as a meaningful deterrent to violations of the La Cañada Flintridge Municipal Code and applicable California Vehicle Code provisions.

A bail schedule is used to establish the penalty amount associated with specific violations of the La Cañada Flintridge Municipal Code and applicable California Vehicle Code provisions enforced by or on behalf of the City. The schedule provides consistency for enforcement, citation processing, and public understanding of applicable penalties. Periodic updates are necessary to ensure penalty amounts remain proportionate, current, and effective.The updated bail schedule before the City Council adjusts the City’s 2011 bail amounts based on the inflation rate from 2011 to 2026. This approach provides a reasonable and objective basis for updating the schedule without creating a wholly new penalty structure.In addition to the inflationary adjustment, staff has incorporated several Municipal Code provisions that were already part of the City’s adopted code but were not previously included in the bail schedule. These include:

• LCFMC § 4.04.100 – Vehicle over six feet high parked within 100 feet of an intersection; • LCFMC § 4.06.020 – Mobile billboard parking/display in public right-of-way or public parking lot;
• LCFMC § 4.04.080(A)(1) – Overnight parking prohibited on Foothill Boulevard between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.; and
• LCFMC § 8.11.020 – Recreational vehicle parking prohibited, subject to permit exceptions.

These sections are already enforceable under the City’s Municipal Code. Their addition to the bail schedule is intended to provide clear penalty amounts for enforcement and citation processing purposes.

Discussion/Analysis:

The City’s existing bail schedule has not been updated since 2011. As a result, the penalty amounts are substantially lower than current enforcement and deterrence standards. In practical terms, some existing penalty amounts are so low that violators may view the citation as an acceptable cost rather than a meaningful consequence for noncompliance. This is particularly important for violations involving parking restrictions, oversized vehicles, overnight parking, mobile billboard displays, recreational vehicle parking, and other parking or traffic-related violations. If the penalty amount is too low, the citation may not effectively discourage repeat violations or encourage compliance with City standards.

Updating the bail schedule based on inflation from 2011 to 2026 provides a measured and defensible adjustment. It recognizes that the City’s existing schedule is outdated while avoiding a more aggressive increase that may result from adopting another agency’s penalty structure wholesale.

The proposed updated bail schedule also incorporates several Municipal Code sections that already exist in the City’s code but were not previously reflected in the bail schedule. These additions do not create new Municipal Code regulations. Rather, they establish bail amounts for existing City regulations so that enforcement personnel, citation processing staff, and members of the public have clear and consistent penalty information.

The newly incorporated sections are summarized below:

Including these provisions in the bail schedule supports consistent enforcement and improves transparency regarding the penalty for each violation.

Code Section Description
LCFMC § 4.04.100 Vehicle over six feet high parked within 100 feet of an intersection
LCFMC § 4.06.020 Mobile billboard parking/display in public rightof-way or public parking lot LCFMC § 4.04.080(A)(1) Overnight parking prohibited on Foothill Boulevard between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

LCFMC § 8.11.020 Recreational vehicle parking prohibited, subject to permit exceptions

The proposed bail schedule updates the City’s existing 2011 bail amounts by applying a 53% inflationary increase, reflecting the approximate inflation rate from 2011 to 2026. This approach preserves the City’s existing policy framework while updating the penalty amounts to reflect current conditions. The attached bail schedule table identifies the prior bail amounts and outlines the corresponding increase for each proposed fee.

Staff recommends this approach because it is:
• Objective and based on inflationary change;
• Consistent with the City’s prior bail schedule structure; • Less aggressive than adopting County penalty amounts wholesale; • Easier for the City to explain and administer; and
• Sufficient to improve deterrence while remaining proportionate.

The updated schedule would apply to the La Cañada Flintridge Municipal Code and California Vehicle Code violations included in the bail schedule.

As an alternative, the City Council may direct staff to prepare or approve a bail schedule that includes the City’s Municipal Code provisions while also adopting the County of Los Angeles bail schedule by reference for applicable violations. This option would create broader alignment with County enforcement penalty levels. However, it is important to note that the County of Los Angeles generally imposes higher bail amounts than the City’s proposed inflation-adjusted schedule. As a result, adopting the County bail schedule by reference would significantly increase citation amounts beyond the proposed City update.

The advantage of this approach is that it may create stronger deterrence and better alignment with County enforcement practices. The disadvantage is that the resulting penalty amounts may be substantially higher than the City’s current municipal code and vehicle code bail structure, which could raise public sensitivity and policy concerns, particularly for parking and vehicle-related violations. If the City Council prefers this alternative, staff recommends that Council provide direction to return with a revised bail schedule and resolution that expressly adopts the County of Los Angeles bail schedule by reference, while retaining City-specific bail amounts for La Cañada Flintridge Municipal Code provisions not otherwise covered by the County schedule.

Staff recommends adoption of the proposed inflation-adjusted City bail schedule. This approach updates a significantly outdated 2011 schedule, improves deterrence, incorporates existing Municipal Code provisions that were not previously included, and maintains a measured penalty structure tailored to the City’s Municipal Code and applicable California Vehicle Code provisions.

Options:

1. Adopt the Resolution approving the updated City of La Cañada Flintridge Bail Schedule for Municipal Code and Vehicle Code violations based on the inflation-adjusted 2011 bail schedule and incorporating additional existing Municipal Code provisions; or

2. Direct staff to prepare a revised bail schedule that incorporates the City’s Municipal Code provisions and adopts the County of Los Angeles bail schedule by reference, recognizing that this option would significantly increase bail amounts beyond the proposed City schedule; or

3. Take no action and provide alternative direction to staff.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): Adopt the Resolution approving the updated City of La Cañada Flintridge Bail Schedule for Municipal Code and Vehicle Code violations and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take all administrative

actions necessary to implement the updated schedule.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
Subject: Approve Letter of Support for the California JPIA Formation of the Coalition to Protect Community Services
Presenter: Arabo Parseghian, Assistant City Manager
Proposed Action: Approve the support letter for the California JPIA Coalition to Protect Community Services and authorize the Mayor to execute the letter.

Environmental Impact:

This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, as it involves an administrative action and does not have the potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approval of the support letter.

However, the issues addressed by the Coalition may have long-term fiscal implications for local governments, including the City, as liability claim costs, insurance premiums, and risk exposure continue to impact municipal budgets statewide.

Background:

The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, which provides risk management, liability coverage, training, and related services to local public agencies throughout California.

The California JPIA has formed the Coalition to Protect Community Services to advance policy discussions regarding the growing liability costs impacting local governments. According to the California JPIA, local agencies throughout the state are experiencing increased liability exposure, higher claim costs, and substantial increases in insurance premiums. These costs can divert public funds from essential community services, including public safety, infrastructure maintenance, parks, senior services, youth programs, and other core municipal services.

The California JPIA has requested that member agencies consider submitting letters of support for the Coalition. The support letter would express the City’s support for balanced liability reform

principles that maintain accountability for local government negligence while ensuring liability exposure remains proportionate to actual responsibility.

Discussion/Analysis:

The proposed support letter does not endorse specific legislation at this time. Instead, it supports the Coalition’s general principles regarding proportionality, accountability, and stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

The Coalition’s stated principles include:

1. Proportionality
Liability should be assigned based on each party’s actual share of fault. Local governments should not be required to absorb disproportionate liability for damages primarily caused by other parties.

2. Accountability
Local governments should remain responsible for their own negligence. The proposed policy discussion does not seek blanket immunity or elimination of legitimate claims.

3. Stewardship of Taxpayer Dollars
Public funds should be protected for their intended public purposes, including maintaining essential local services and infrastructure.

Staff believes the proposed support letter is consistent with the City’s interest in maintaining fiscal responsibility, protecting public resources, and supporting fair liability standards for local governments.

Approval of the support letter would allow the City to formally indicate support for the Coalition’s policy principles while preserving the City Council’s ability to evaluate any future legislative proposals separately if specific bills or policy actions are introduced.

Options:

1. Approve the support letter for the California JPIA Coalition to Protect Community Services and authorize the Mayor to execute the letter; or

2. Modify the support letter and authorize the Mayor to execute the revised letter; or

3. Take no action and provide an alternative direction to staff.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): Approve the support letter for the California JPIA Coalition to Protect Community Services and authorize the Mayor to execute the letter on behalf of the City.

RE: Coalition to Protect Community Services – Statement of Support Dear California Joint Powers Insurance Authority Board of Directors:

On behalf of the [City / District] of [NAME], we write to express our strong support for the Coalition to Protect Community Services and its efforts to keep local taxpayer dollars available for the essential services our residents depend on.

Local governments across California are facing a growing liability crisis. Large claims against local agencies—arising from public roadways, public property, and routine government services—have increased sharply, and the rising costs are unsustainable.

According to an analysis of claims data from 1,979 local government agencies conducted by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities, claims exceeding $1 million increased 67% between 2015 and 2022. Insurance premiums rose from $115 million in 2016 to $541 million in 2025—an increase of 370%. Every dollar consumed by excessive liability judgments and settlements is a dollar taken away from parks, libraries, public safety, road maintenance, senior services and youth programs.

Individuals who sustain legitimate injuries resulting from local government negligence deserve fair compensation. We are fully committed to that obligation. But balanced reforms are needed to ensure that compensation reflects true harm and proportionate responsibility, which serves the interests of both injured parties and the communities who rely on public services.

As you work to address this issue, we encourage you to consider the following principles:

Proportionality
Each party responsible for harm should bear liability in proportion to their actual share of fault—not based on which defendant happens to have the deepest pocket. Local government agencies should not be forced to subsidize damages caused by drunk drivers, uninsured motorists, careless contractors, or criminal actors who bear primary responsibility. An equitable system ensures that responsibility follows conduct, and that no single party is unfairly targeted simply because they have the ability to pay.

Accountability
Local governments must remain fully responsible for their own negligence. Sound reforms should preserve that accountability—not create blanket immunity and not prevent injured parties from recovering the share of damages attributable to a local agency.

Stewardship of Taxpayer Dollars
Public funds are a public trust. Policy solutions should protect taxpayer dollars for their intended public purposes and prevent local agencies from being used as a backstop for the liabilities of others. Durable, forward-looking reforms are needed to protect the long-term sustainability of local government services—the current trajectory of claim costs and insurance premiums is not sustainable.

We stand ready to support the Coalition and build the kind of just liability system our communities deserve.

Thank you for your consideration. Please contact [NAME, TITLE] at [PHONE] or [EMAIL] if we can provide additional information.

Sincerely,
Jeanne Kim Hobson
Mayor

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
Subject: Appeal of Design Review (DEV-2026-0012) by RNF Signs for New Signage Associated with Wells Fargo Bank located at 555 Foothill Boulevard
Presenter: Kurtis Fabela, Assistant Planner
Proposed Action: Find the project exempt from CEQA and adopt City Council Resolution No. 26-XX upholding the appeal and approving Design Review (DEV2026-0012) for Wells Fargo Bank at 555 Foothill Boulevard, with the removal of Condition #11 requiring that all wall signs are not illuminated and do not include raceways
Environmental Impact: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Fiscal Impact: If the appeal is upheld, there will be new permit fees associated with the installation of the signs.

Background:

The Wells Fargo bank located at 555 Foothill Boulevard contains existing approved signage, including a non-illuminated wall sign on the south elevation facing Foothill Boulevard.

On May 21, 2026, the Design Commission approved Design Review (DEV-2026-0012) for approval of new wall, monument, and directional signs. The Design Commission voiced concerns over the south facing wall sign, including sign color and internal illumination, ultimately voting 3-0 to approve the project, but requiring that the wall signs not be illuminated and not use a raceway to affix the sign to the wall facia.

On June 5, 2026, the applicant filed an appeal specific to the restrictive condition of approval.

Discussion/Analysis:

While Design Review (DEV-2026-0012) for the signage was approved, based on the Design Commission’s concerns over the wall sign color, the internal illumination, and the shadow cast by the raceway that houses electrical components for the wall sign, the approval included condition of approval #11 prohibiting internally illuminated wall signs and requiring the raceways be removed.

The appeal request is specifically requesting this restrictive condition be removed.

Staff evaluated the appeal in relation to the City's sign ordinance (Zoning Code Chapter 11.37), previous approvals for similar commercial signage, and the appellant's stated grounds for appeal, as discussed below.

Raceway / Internal Illumination
The Design Commission asked the applicant if the raceway between the building face and the new south-facing wall sign was necessary. In response, the applicant stated that it houses electrical components for illumination of the sign, eliminates the need for additional penetrations on the fascia for each letter, and would be painted white to match the white veranda and associated columns along the face of the building. The applicant added that prohibiting illumination would not dissuade, or eliminate, their preference for using a raceway as an attachment mechanism for the sign as it is used to mount the entire lettering to a flat surface. It was also noted that the rendering does not properly illustrate that the raceway would be painted white to match the color of the building face.

The Design Commission noted that removing the raceway allows individual channel letters to be placed flush against the mounting surface. The applicant noted that similar signage with the same internal illumination and raceway were approved nearby.

Corporate Color and Branding
In addition to the raceway, the Design Commission stated that the existing yellow sign was preferred to the shade and color of red proposed for the wall signs. The Design Commission deemed the “Wells Fargo red” inconsistent with the institutional style and context of the building. The brighter, vibrant appearance of the color, when paired with internal illumination of the letters, was deemed highly visible. The Design Commission suggested a different color palette should be required based on the consensus that the “Wells Fargo red” color was too vibrant for the subject building. Staff cautioned that national brand colors cannot be altered and that regulating Wells Fargo Bank’s trademarked color and branding is a content-based action that goes beyond the allowable limits of how the sign ordinance regulates according to time, place, and manner considerations. Furthermore, staff noted that the sign ordinance does not include explicit prohibitions on specific colors and only discourages certain colors.

In response, the Design Commission shifted focus from color to the internal illumination of the wall sign. Staff remarked that a substantiated reason would be needed for denial of the illumination as precedent was set for allowing similarly lit signs. Staff reiterated that the visibility of the raceway is diminished when considering the 60-to-70-foot setback from Foothill Boulevard and the sign’s scale in relation to the building’s width and size.

Points of Appeal:

1. Every other bank within the city has an illuminated storefront building, and denying Wells Fargo the right to use illuminated building letters singles them out amongst all of their business competition for no valid reason.

The appellant has provided examples of neighboring businesses, banks in particular, that exhibit internal illumination. Examples include Chase Bank at 749 Foothill Boulevard, Citibank at 742 Foothill Boulevard, Bank of America at 537 Foothill Boulevard, and US Bank at 485 Foothill Boulevard. These banks are located within the same area of Foothill Boulevard and the Downtown Village Specific Plan corridor as the Wells Fargo bank. Each business maintains internal channel letter illumination, as shown in the appeal application within Attachment 2. In addition to nearby banks, the appellant also provides imagery in their application from retail and service establishments within the DVSP that contain wall signs with internal illumination.

Response: The standards and guidelines outlined within the sign ordinance (Zoning Code Chapter

11.37) are intended to be content-neutral policies that include time, place, and manner restrictions on when, where, and how signs are presented within commercial districts in the city. The signage is

compliant with the sign ordinance and the prohibition of illumination for the wall sign is inconsistent with established precedent allowing internally illuminated signs for other businesses within the Downtown Village Specific Plan and along the greater Foothill Boulevard corridor. Many of these applicable businesses maintain frontage closer to Foothill Boulevard than the subject building and their internally illuminated channel letter signs are mounted on narrower storefronts with closer distances from the street. Based on this information, staff believes that there are sufficient grounds to uphold the appeal, and overturn Condition of Approval #11 requiring that the wall signs not be illuminated.

2. The color red played a significant part in why the Design Commission rejected the application for any illuminated signage.

As previously described, at the Design Review hearing, the Design Commission stated that eliminating illumination of the wall signs would reduce the vibrant appearance of the “Wells Fargo red” color of the sign and lead to conditions that would make use of the raceway unnecessary.

Response: The “Wells Fargo red” color included in the applicant’s request is a part of a nationally trademarked logo and color palette. Any restriction of the color scheme involves content-based regulation of commercial signage. The primary reason for the appeal is the elimination of the illumination and raceway that internally houses the necessary electrical components.

3. Other banks in town have a raceway and illuminated letters. Wells Fargo’s raceway is small in nature and painted the same color as the building (white), unlike other examples in the city.

Other businesses within the Downtown Village Specific Plan, including Chase Bank, use raceways to house electrical components and mount wall signs. Raceways are primarily incidental components used for the installation of wall signs and lighting components.

Response: The regulation of raceways is a content-neutral action, and raceways have not been prohibited or regulated for other businesses in the proximate area and are not prohibited by the City's sign ordinance. The visual detriment of the raceway is less verifiable considering building scale and distance from Foothill Boulevard. In all, the use of raceways for wall signs is generally accepted for the commercial buildings along Foothill Boulevard. Prohibiting the use of a raceway for the Wells Fargo bank is inconsistent with prior Design Commission decisions. If illumination of the wall sign is permitted, a raceway is practically necessary for the sign installation. Based on this information, there are sufficient grounds to uphold the appeal, and overturn condition of approval #11 requiring that the wall signs do not contain raceways.

4. During the Design Commission hearing, the applicant’s representative was not offered the opportunity to speak and have dialog regarding condition #11. The applicant should have a chance to respond and provide feedback to the commission.

The applicant states that they did not have the ability to discuss alternative solutions or provide feedback on the proposed condition because public comment had already ended. The Design Commission and applicant had a dialogue about the appearance of the raceway, the red color of the new wall sign, and if the raceway was only necessary to install illumination. Once public comment ended, the Design Commission included a condition of approval prohibiting the use of illumination and raceways for the new wall signs.

Response: Given that an appeal has been requested to overturn condition of approval #11, the applicant/appellant will have the opportunity to discuss and present their request for illumination of the wall signs and the associated raceway to the City Council.

Based on the analysis above, staff’s professional opinion is that the proposed illuminated wall signs and raceways are consistent with applicable sign regulations and prior approvals within the Foothill Boulevard corridor, and that retaining Condition of Approval #11 would be inconsistent with established precedent for similar commercial signage. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council uphold the appeal by adopting a resolution removing Condition of Approval #11.

Options:

1. Find the project exempt from CEQA and adopt City Council Resolution No. 26-XX upholding the appeal and approving Design Review (DEV-2026-0012) for Wells Fargo Bank at 555 Foothill Boulevard, with the removal of Condition #11 requiring that all wall signs are not illuminated and do not include raceways; or

2. Deny the appeal, upholding the Design Commission's approval of Design Review (DEV-2026- 0012) for Wells Fargo Bank at 555 Foothill Boulevard, retaining Condition of Approval #11 prohibiting illumination and the use of a raceway for the sign; or

3. Defer action at this time.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action: Find the project exempt from CEQA and adopt City Council Resolution No. 26-XX upholding the appeal and approving Design Review (DEV-2026-0012) for Wells Fargo Bank at 555 Foothill Boulevard, with the removal of Condition #11 requiring that all wall signs are not illuminated and do not include raceways.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Cañada Flintridge does

DEV-2026-0012 (Appeal) 2
resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct, and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. Based upon the foregoing facts and based upon substantial evidence, the City Council hereby finds as follows:

A. All aspects of the project were reviewed in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. Based on the extent of the project, it has been determined that the project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15311 (Accessory Structures) for the installation of new on-premise signage. Class 11 consists of construction, or placement of minor structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, including but not limited to: on premise signs. The project consists of a new wall sign on the east façade of the bank building, replacement of an existing wall sign on the south façade facing Foothill Boulevard, replacement of the monument sign, and replacement of directional ground signs. None of the exceptions identified within Section 15300.2 are applicable to the project as the location is not in a particularly sensitive environment, it not a successive project that may lead to cumulative impacts, there are no unusual circumstances at the project site, it is not located along a scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not on the City’s Official Register of Historic Properties.

B. The City Council hereby directs a Notice of Exemption be filed for the project.

C. The custodian of records for the Notice of Exemption and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council’s decision is based, is the Director of Community Development of the City of La Cañada Flintridge.

Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Division of the City of La Cañada Flintridge located at One Civic Center Drive, La Cañada Flintridge, California, 91011, telephone (818) 790-8881.

SECTION 3. Findings Required for Design Review Approval. The City Council finds as follows:

A. The design and layout of the proposed signage is consistent with the general plan and any design criteria adopted for specialized areas, such as designated historic or other special districts, planned developments, master plans, or specific plans, or adopted for the project through conditions of approval or development agreements. The signs’ arrangement, material, font style and color work well with the composition of the subject building to provide clear description of the business’s name. The area of the Downtown Village Specific Plan (DVSP) that the property is located in is primary commercial, with the closest residential uses located to the northeast of the subject lot. The proposed signage will not impact these areas, is consistent with the commercial character along the Foothill

DEV-2026-0012 (Appeal) 3
Boulevard corridor, and no guidelines or development standards for specialized areas or overlay zones exist or apply to the property that would impact the design and location of the proposed signage. This request includes a standalone signage restoration and remodel project not adopted for the project through a development agreement for another project.

The proposed signage compliments the Colonial Revival architectural style of the existing building, is consistent with signage proposed within the Mixed Use 2 (DVSP) zone, and includes a mix of new and replacement signage that does not significantly alter the character of the area or the property. With the removal of Condition #11 as adopted by the Design Commission, the proposed signage is consistent with all other approved conditions.

B. The design and layout of the proposed signage will accommodate the functions and activities that are proposed for the property, will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring property, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. The signage is not located within the public right-of-way, will maintain limited illumination external to the monument sign, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.

Though the illuminated monument sign is visible to traffic on Foothill Boulevard, it will not introduce adverse impacts or hazards on vehicular traffic due to the proposed design, appropriate and proportional size, and indirect, external illumination. The south-facing internally illuminated wall sign does not draw unwarranted attention, but would be legible from Foothill Boulevard. The directional ground signs reinforce safe vehicular circulation within the property. The structure is mostly isolated from all other businesses on the northwest corner of the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Indianola Way, and due to this, the proposed signage will not interfere with the use of other properties or signage in the area.

C. The architectural design of the proposed signage is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and that all reasonable design efforts have been made to maintain the harmonious, orderly, and attractive development contemplated by this title and the general plan. The new signage is clear and visible to automobiles and pedestrians along Foothill Boulevard, and with the new wall sign located on the side of the building, this characteristic also applies to customer visibility from Indianola Way. The new illuminated replacement wall sign is marginally increasing in size by three square feet and will be located in the same location as the existing sign with an updated red color. Though red is a regularly discouraged sign color on commercial properties, the red wall signs that are proposed blend effectively with the red brick of the structure and are not of size which would be considered excessive along the building’s front façade. The white veranda, railing, columns, and red brick siding that act as the immediate background to the new red wall signs provide contrast for legibility and clarity of the logo. The existing monument sign is being replaced with a sign of the same size and red background, but with new white lettering instead of the existing yellow logo to reflect Wells Fargo’s brand refresh. The new directional signs, though proposed with a brighter white background and replacing more recessive grey and red signs, will replace existing worn and weathered signage with new signs of greater contrast that improve visibility of the directional information presented on the signs.

D. The design of the proposed signage will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors and that it is aesthetically of good
