AGENDA ITEM NO. D-5
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: March 26, 2024 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: Jeffrey Buckwell, Chief/Director of Public Safety
John Di Mario, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

WITH HORIZON STRUCTURES, LLC FOR PREFAB MODULAR

COMMERCIAL DOG KENNEL STRUCTURES IN THE AMOUNT OF
$389,219.24 AND CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLULTION AMENDING THE FY 2023/2024 BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting of March 12, 2024, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with Community Works Design Group for the development of a new dog park on the City-owned vacant parcel of land located at the corner of Valley Boulevard and Old Valley Boulevard.

The proposed new dog park facility will include modular kennel structures to support the City’s animal control program. To meet the City’s needs, two identical kennel structures are being recommended that are 24’ x 60’ in size and include 16 dog runs, 48” wide feed alley and 12’x20’ lobby/service room.

The kennels will serve as the City’s primary intake and service animal shelter, serving our resident’s dogs, cats and captured strays, as well as provide a service and recovery hub for the City’s Trap, Neuter, Return (“TNR”) feral cat program.

The kennels may also provide other services such as overnight/extended days kenneling services for dogs and cats.

DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Section 2.21.090 - Cooperative or piggyback awards, of the City’s recently revised purchasing Ordinance, for all public works type projects, the City may use a cooperative competitive bidding procedure, or a “piggyback” contract prepared and processed by another local, state, or federal agency. This section requires that the piggyback contract must have been the result of a competitive bidding process of that agency, and the City may join into an existing awarded contract if it was obtained within 36 months of the City’s consideration of the contract.

To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: March 26, 2024 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: Troy O. Grunklee, CPA, Director of Administrative Services Alex Merkel Medina, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: PRESENTATION OF FEBRUARY 2024 BUDGET REPORT

BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget and Capital Improvement Program on May 31, 2023. The attached report examines fiscal activity taking place during the month of February 2024 and includes all funds within the operating budget. The report analyzes year-todate transactions in comparison to budgeted amounts for the entire fiscal year, expressing each category using a percentage-of-completion methodology. It additionally provides comparisons in activity level to the same time period last fiscal year.

DISCUSSION
As of February 29, 2024, sixty-seven (67) percent of the fiscal year has elapsed.

REVENUES
General Fund revenues to date have reached $10,122,471 or 52.7% of the annual budget. In February of 2023, 52.6% of revenues had been realized – showing revenue stability over periods.

Overall, Property Tax shows a 5% increase in collections over the last fiscal year. This increase has helped to offset the reduction in Sales and Use Tax and Measure LP revenues, which have declined by 2% and 8% respectively year-over-year. Licenses and Permits, Fines and Forfeitures, and Charges for Services all post results more than the 75% mark, outpacing the budget timeline and subsidizing General Fund activities.

EXPENDITURES

51.6% of budgeted General Fund operating expenditures have been realized, almost exactly equivalent to 50.9% at this time last fiscal year. Most departments have expended 65% or less of their annual budgets, indicating a pattern of fiscal restraint. An exception to this is General Services at 139.9%. This department now serves as the cost center for several transfers to the Internal Service Funds and simply represents a shift in budget categorization, not an increase in overall expenditures. In aggregate of all funds, 48.9% of the annual budget has been expended to date ($17,260,542) in comparison to 45.7% at this time last year.

By: John DiMario, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3.28 (BINGO) OF TITLE 3 (PUBLIC SAFETY AND MORALS) OF THE LA PUENTE

MUNICIPAL CODE

BACKGROUND
The City of La Puente (“City”) allows the operation of bingo games in the City for charitable purposes as described in Municipal Code Chapter 3.28. This chapter of the Municipal Code has not been updated since 1999 (Ord. No. 790 § 16, 1999). The City is not aware of any organizations currently offering bingo games in the City of La Puente.

Staff conducted research on bingo operations in six local jurisdictions including: Norwalk; Whittier; Bellflower; Walnut; Covina; and Downey. Staff compared code provisions and experience in each community with their perspective bingo operations. Additionally, staff reviewed current state law to see where updates to the City’s ordinance may need to be amended.

DISCUSSION
The proposed amendment to the City’s municipal code reflects current state law and local regulations on Bingo games in the City. Below are the most notable revisions:
 Aligned the Ordinance operation regulation with state law.  Decreased the number of years required for an organization to be eligible for a license to conduct bingo games, to have held their meetings in the City for at least three years, instead of five years.
 Added the specific charitable purpose of the organization to benefit the community of La Puente.
 Added required documentation for permit eligibility.
 Increased the prize limit (a total value of $500 per bingo game or the total value of prizes).  Increased the number of days of operation and frequency to a maximum of two days during a seven-day period.
 The terms and references throughout the ordinance are updated to be internally consistent grammatically and consistent with local and state regulations.  The titles reflect the current titles.
