City Council Minutes Page 4 of 8 August 4, 2026
Regular Meeting
A brief break was taken and the meeting resumed at 6:47 p.m.
City Attorney Guerra explained the five categories of financial interests identified by the FPPC that could create a conflict of interest. He clarified that having a checking or interest-bearing account with Wells Fargo does not count as the type of "investment" that leads to a conflict in this decision. Even if interest is earned, it is standardized and not significantly affected by the approval or denial of this specific sign. Therefore, he does not believe there is a disqualifying financial conflict under FPPC rules for Councilmembers who simply bank at Wells Fargo, allowing them to participate in the decision-making process.
Mayor Hobson stated that she believes she does not need to recuse herself and can make an objective decision.
Councilman Eich still chose to recuse himself out of an abundance of caution.

After a brief discussion and deliberation, the City Council acknowledge that businesses should be able to read the City’s sign rules, comply, and reasonably expect approval without “one‑off” extra conditions. Overall, the City Council agreed on content neutrality, supported consistency with past approvals, and acknowledged fair treatment of businesses that follow the sign code.
A MOTION was made by Councilmember Bowman, seconded by Mayor Hobson, and carried (4 – 0, Councilman Eich recused) to find the project exempt from CEQA and adopt a City Council Resolution 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.

By consensus, the City Council agreed to explore hybrid format for commissions and committees as a pilot program, but they do not intend to roll it out all at once. They directed staff to develop a phased pilot program that will identify which commissions and committees should transition to a hybrid format first, along with the necessary staffing and audiovisual (AV) requirements, as well as cost estimates.

Councilman Eich requested a future agenda item to revisit the City’s community groups funding policy.

Discussion/Analysis:
A. PROJECTS IN CONSTRUCTION PHASE
1. 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.
2. 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. Staff completed the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the project. On February 17, 2026, the City Council adopted the PS&E and authorized Public Works to advertise the project for construction bids. On April 7, 2026, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Gentry Brothers, Inc., in the amount of $222,185, and construction started on May 11, 2026 and was substantially completed on July 31, 2026. Contractor is currently working on the punch list items and submittal of final documentation.
3. Mid-Block Pedestrian Crosswalk Traffic Signal (HAWK) at 200 Foothill Boulevard (Project No. 31/2610/07-2423d): The project consists of upgrading the existing flashing beacon on Foothill Boulevard at 200 Foothill Boulevard (near Saint Francis High School) to a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK).

Any and all such documents shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete and detailed. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of the City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Contractor’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to the City, and access shall be provided by Contractor’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law, including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.
6.2 Reports.
Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require.
6.3 Ownership of Documents.
All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents, and other materials (the “documents and materials”) prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to the City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by the City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use,
PW Agreement – Vendor/Contractor Name (Project Title, Plan No) Council Date 20 reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use.
Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to the City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify the City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.
6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) Information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than the City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer.
(b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or admissions, or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Contractor gives the City sufficient notice of such court order or subpoena to allow it to raise appropriate objections.
(c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs, and fees, including attorneys’ fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. (d) Contractor shall promptly notify the City should Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions, or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide the City with sufficient opportunity to review, comment, or file appropriate objections to any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. This right to review any such response, however, does not imply or mean the right by the City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be
PW Agreement – Vendor/Contractor Name (Project Title, Plan No) Council Date 21 instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes.
(a) Default; Cure. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Project Manager. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on such invoices only when the default is cured to the satisfaction of the City. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. (b) Dispute Resolution. To the extent applicable, this Agreement is subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Additionally, Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims. Article 1.5 mandates certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein and the intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code with respect to any such claims by Contractor. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes.
For purposes of these procedures, the term “claim(s)” means a separate demand by the Contractor, after the City has denied Contractor’s timely and duly made request for payment for extra work and/or a time extension, for: (i) a time extension, (ii) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to this Agreement and payment of which is not otherwise expressly provided for or the Contractor is not otherwise entitled to, or (iii) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the City.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Contractor hereby authorizes the City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate the City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by the City, and (ii) all amounts for which the City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform
PW Agreement – Vendor/Contractor Name (Project Title, Plan No) Council Date 22 Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, the City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim.
The failure of the City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect the City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any Party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by the City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct, or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to California Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Liquidated Damages.
Because the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Fifteen Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($1,500.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the services required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit “D”). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the Project when such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities.
PW Agreement – Vendor/Contractor Name (Project Title, Plan No) Council Date 23
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Contractor, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating Party need not provide the non-terminating Party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor.
If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, the City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and the City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.
If either Party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a Party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a Party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
7.11 Unfair Business Practices Claims.
In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the California Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the City renders final payment to the Contractor without further acknowledgment by the Parties.
PW Agreement – Vendor/Contractor Name (Project Title, Plan No) Council Date 24 ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.

8.2 Conflict of Interest.
Contractor covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of the City or which would in any way hinder Contractor’s performance of services under this Agreement.

Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or other protected class.
8.4 Unauthorized Aliens.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: September 1, 2026
Subject: Approval and Delegation of Authority to City Manager to Execute a Task Order, in the Amount of $93,350, to Aufbau Corporation for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Green Alley II Project (Valley Sun Lane from Angeles Crest Highway to Grand Avenue)
Presenter: Maged El-Rabaa, P.E., Director of Public Works Proposed Action: Motion to: (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from Aufbau Corporation, in the Amount of $93,350, for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the Green Alley II Project (Valley Sun Lane from Angeles Crest Highway to Grand Avenue) and to Include $6,650 for Contingencies for a Total Not-to-Exceed Fee Amount of $100,000; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $93,350 and any Change Orders up to $6,650, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Fee Amount of $100,000
Environmental Impact: Appropriate Environmental Findings will be considered by the City Council at the time of Approval of Project
Fiscal Impact: $150,000 in Measure W funds is included in the FY 2026-27 Budget under Account 18-00-7000 to finance the PS&E costs
Background:
The Green Alley II Project is part of the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 CIP. The pavement on the Public Alley (Valley Sun Lane between Grand Avenue to Angeles Crest Highway) is in poor condition and requires resurfacing. As an alternative to conventional asphalt pavement resurfacing, the site can be redesigned to capture rainwater and reuse it on site to allow rainwater to infiltrate back into the ground, which provides stormwater quality and MS4 Permit compliance benefits.
On February 3, 2026, the City Council took the following action(s): i) approved a Fee Proposal from Aufbau Corporation, in the amount of $48,200, for the preparation of a Feasibility Study for the Green Alley II Project (Valley Sun Lane from Angeles Crest Highway to Grand Avenue) and included $5,200 for contingencies for a total fee of $54,000; and (ii) authorized the City Manager to execute the Task Order in the amount of $48,200 and any change orders up to $5,200, provided such change orders do not exceed the total Fee Amount of $54,000.
The scope of the Feasibility Study consisted of the performance of a geotechnical investigation to determine the suitability of the existing soils for water infiltration; collection of hydrology data to determine the amount of water that would be generated from the surrounding drainage area; a
topographical survey and various conceptual design alternatives. Upon review of various concept design alternatives, a preferred concept design alternative was selected for the development of the PS&E.
Discussion/Analysis:
Public Works solicited a Task Order from Aufbau Corporation again, who is one of the selected OnCall consultants, for the preparation of the PS&E based on the selected concept design alternative in the Feasibility Study. The attached Fee Proposal from Aufbau Corporation in the amount of $93,350 for the said services is found to be fair and reasonable fee. Staff requests an additional amount of $6,650 for contingencies for a total not-to-exceed fee of $100,000.
Since the fee is more than the amount of $25,000 previously authorized by the City Council to the City Manager, Staff recommends that the City Council approves the Fee Proposal submitted by Aufbau Corporation for the preparation of PS&E and authorizes the City Manager to execute the Task Order.
Options:
1. Motion to: (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from Aufbau Corporation, in the Amount of $93,350, for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the Green Alley II Project (Valley Sun Lane from Angeles Crest Highway to Grand Avenue) and to Include $6,650 for Contingencies for a Total Not-to-Exceed Fee Amount of $100,000; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $93,350 and any Change Orders up to $6,650, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Fee Amount of $100,000; or
2. Provide further directions to staff
Recommendation:
Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from Aufbau Corporation, in the Amount of $93,350, for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the Green Alley II Project (Valley Sun Lane from Angeles Crest Highway to Grand Avenue) and to Include $6,650 for Contingencies for a Total Notto-Exceed Fee Amount of $100,000; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $93,350 and any Change Orders up to $6,650, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Fee Amount of $100,000

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: September 1, 2026
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution for the Installation of Red Curb on the Approach to Various Marked and Unmarked Crosswalks in
Accordance with AB 413
Presenter: Maged El-Rabaa, P.E., Director of Public Works Proposed Action: (i) Adopt the Attached Resolution for the Installation of Red Curb on the Approach to Various Marked and Unmarked Crosswalks in Accordance with AB 413; and (ii) Approve the Installation of Red Curb at the Attached Locations in Accordance with AB 413
Environmental Impact: None
Fiscal Impact: Painting of red curb and installation of signage is estimated to be $12,000. Sufficient funds are included in Account 01-42-7113 Background:
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.
