LA VERNE FILM PERMIT

PROCESS REVIEW AND

CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION

ON PROCESS REVISIONS

LA VERNE FILM PERMIT PROCESS REVIEW AND CITY COUNCIL
DIRECTION ON PROCESS REVISIONS - City of La Verne Municipal Code Title 5, Chapter 5.57, Filming and Video Taping, outlines the process and requirements to obtain a permit to professionally film in La Verne. The procedure and requirements for approval can make it difficult for efficient processing and is being reviewed for direction on possible improvements.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council review the current Municipal Code related to Film Permits and provide Staff direction for procedural improvements.

Mayor Hepburn called for Council Comments. Mayor Pro Tem Lau asked for information on what other cities are currently doing for this process. She had concerns regarding public safety, the inconvenience to residents, and also liability issues. Council Member Kash stated we should make it more desirable, easier for people. Council Member Crosby asked how many large-scale permits are requested in a year.

Assistant City Manager Ranells clarified the number was 3- 5 however this number was impacted by COVID. Mayor Hepburn stated he was in favor of outsourcing the process to free up staff time for other duties.

Mayor Hepburn called for public comment.

R. Bowen, La Verne resident had concerns about the city being covered, and the limit on city manager approvals.

T. Skahill, La Verne resident commented on compensation to business and residents that are inconvenienced by the filming.

M. Davis. La Verne resident felt keeping the process in-house was a better idea to cover the city and amending the process.

City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 14

L. Brainard, La Verne resident was concerned about street closures and being notified in advance.

J. Gabaldon , La Verne resident was not in favor of giving up local control.

Assistant City Manager Ranells clarified a third-party vendor would facilitate the film permit process, gathering the required documentation then presenting it to city staff. Control to approve the permit would stay with the city . Also, there is written notification given to any property owner affected by the filming process.

Mayor Pro Tem Lau summarized the consensus of all the comments :
staff should take a look at other cities and explore other options, retain local control, extend the 48-hour notice period as far as possible. The low impact items Council would be OK with being handled by an outside agency, the big items with the greater impact , should be brought to Council for review and approval. Additional details overall are necessary.

Mayor Hepburn agreed that modification, additional review and streamline, check what other cities are doing and look at outsource company and see what they do, making sure our residents come first.

Mayor Pro Tem Lau also stated Resident Skahill’s idea regarding revenue had merit, as the city could always use an additional revenue.

Council Member Johnson concurred with the comments of the other Council Members.

Council agreed and gave direction that additional information and research was necessary and will be brought back to the Council in the future.

S. Wiard, La Verne resident, stated the nomination period was announced through various means, announcements, publications etc.

Tonight’s decision is not about the right to vote or District voting, it ’s about the opportunity to save the taxpayers money. Please do not waste this money when no one wanted to run.

K. Kalouseck, La Verne resident, thanked both Crosby and Lau for their willingness to serve La Verne. Other council members ran unopposed and were appointed. This will save the city $54,000, no need for debates. Supports the resolution.

Y. Gallegos, La Verne resident, lives in District 2 and is happy with the representation by Crosby. Her family lives in District 5 and is also happy with their representation by Lau.

Mr. Rivera, La Verne resident, supports the no drama approach, residents are happy with their representation. Both candidates have his support.

City Attorney Hall Barlow provided the answer, 1996, 2006, 2010, and 2012 also 4 surrounding Cities within the last 4 years have canceled elections, the LA County Recorder’s office confirmed mu ltiple jurisdictions have cancelled elections due to lack of candidates.

City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 17 Council Member Kashifalghita felt the opportunity was available for people to come, regarding the nomination period. It was on social media and others came forward during public comment and talked about it. He feels everyone is doing a good job. The opportunities were there to put in and they didn’t.

Council Member Johnson had no additional comments.

Mayor Hepburn stated he was not happy with district voting, he voted against it, he wasn’t happy with the unelected Mayor, but it’s time to move on. He is proud of the two Council Members, that’s a testament to their work in their Districts. He’s proud of the Council overall, they work very well together, they have the support of leadership, the City is behind them, and they have the support of the residents. The deadline was there, the deadline passed. He does not agree with having an election for the possibility of a write in candidate. He supports the Resolution.

SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING VISION ZERO FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ACCEPTING THE F Y22/23 ACTIVE

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT

SUMMARY
This item requests adoption of a Resolution affirming the City’s Vision Zero philosophy to aid in future grant applications for traffic safety improvements and accepting the Active Transportation Committee’s Annual Report. The Annual Report summarizes the City’s Complete Streets activities and the Active Transportation Committee’s progress and accomplishments during fiscal year 2022/2023.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends t he City Council adopt the attached R esolution No. 24-01 affirming Vision Zero for traffic safety and accepting of the Active Transportation Committee Annual Report (Annual Report) for fiscal year 2022/2023.

DISCUSSION
On November 6, 2017, the City Council approved Resolution 17-71, adopting a Complete Streets Policy (Policy). Section 10 of the Policy requires an annual written report to be submitted to the City Council. The Policy provides guidance for the City’s transportation related planning efforts and guides the direction of future developments and improvements made to the City’s transportation network.

The Policy further advances the goal of creating a more sustainable transportation system that is safe and accessible for everyone. Complete Streets provide infrastructure that encourages active transportation such as walking, bicycling, transportation choices and increased connectivity. Through this Policy, the primary focus of street design is no longer based solely on the speed and efficiency of automobile travel, but on the safety and comfort of all users of the public right-of-way.

On June 17, 2019, the City Council approved Resolution 19- 36 (Resolution), approving the formation of an Active Transportation Committee (Committee). The Resolution established a 9- member committee to help facilitate policies to create multi -modal transportation options in the City of La Verne. The goal of the C ommittee is to enable safe, attractive, comfortable, and independent access and travel for people who walk, ride bicycles, drive, and use transit; provide Staff with recommendations for solutions; and serve as a conduit for community input. Some of the tasks that fall under the Committee’s scope include annual review of the City’s Complete Streets Policy and applicable projects City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 39 to ensure compliance; prioritizing project recommendations; and providing input regarding traffic and traffic enforcement issues. The Annual Report satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Policy.

At its October 10, 2023, meeting, the Active Transportation Committee recommended the City Council receive and file the FY22/23 Annual Report. The report highlights accessibility improvements made, Golden Streets event promoting sustainable/active modes of transportation, and mobility improvements such as sidewalk repairs , development activity improvements, and “E and Second Street Improvement Project”.

The report also highlights the revisions that were made to the City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan, a plan addressing traffic safety needs and strategies.

The ATC Annual Report also highlights future goals for the Committee including:
• Developing strategy to implement First Mile/Last Mile improvements in preparation for A Line opening.
• Prioritize ATP components to identify those that fit within maintenance projects versus new projects.
• Develop and implement a review process for injury incidents involving pedestrians or bicycles.
• Develop and implement a Social Media Campaign to enhance ATC community outreach.
• Recruit and appoint vacant ATC seat.

The attached resolution provides a formal mechanism for accepting the annual report.

Additionally, the resolution provides the opportunity for the City to affirm its commitment to Vision Zero. This traffic safety initiative has been highlighted in the City ’s approved Local Roadway Safety Plan which was developed with community input. The formal adoption of this resolution highlights the City’s desire to implement traffic safety initiatives that further our goal to eliminate traffic fatalities. The formal adoption of Vision Zero also aids in the competitiveness of grant applications for funding related to traffic safety and traffic-related roadway improvement projects.

Welcomed New Public Works Director – Meg McWade joined the City of La Verne as the new Director of Public Works. Meg has 32 years of public service experience including serving as the Director of Public Works for the cities of Fullerton and Pomona, where she also served as the Deputy Public Works Director, Utilities Manager, Business Services Manager, and Budget Officer.

Revision to the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) - The City of La Verne is committed to improving transportation safety. The LRSP addresses traffic safety needs and strategies, laying the groundwork to improve the health and safety of all residents and visitors. The intent of the LRSP is to:
• Analyze traffic incidents in the City of La Verne’s roadway network. • Determine traffic incident patterns and high-risk locations. • Identify safety partner agencies and gain insight from the local community. • Establish a vision and goals for traffic safety in the City of La Verne. • Develop a list of countermeasures to address key safety issues at high-risk locations.

The bridge will connect the La Verne Crossings Light Rail Station to the Fairplex, providing safe access to cross Arrow Highway. The cost to develop the bridge amounts to $22,157,615 and, as this grant requires a 20% match, the grant request amount was $17,726,092.

City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 45

Modeled after the thousands of other "open streets" or "ciclovia" events that have been organized around the world and across the United States, Golden Streets temporarily opened 6.5 miles of roadway for people to walk, jog, skate, bike and more in the San Gabriel Valley. The event series was organized by ActiveSGV, an SGV- based non-profit organization dedicated to realizing a safer, more sustainable and equitable San Gabriel Valley.

Event Goals:
• Promote sustainable, active modes of transportation.
• Encourage play, community connections, and exploration of the San Gabriel Valley's diverse communities.

City Sidewalk Repair Maintenance Program

The City Sidewalk Repair Maintenance Program (Program) is divided into a six-section area (see map below) within city boundaries. The purpose of the Program is to assess and improve sidewalk conditions throughout the city on a rolling 3-year cycle. Program goals are as follows:

• ADA Compliance – The City is committed to making our city accessible to everyone. The Program ensures that sidewalks meet ADA standards, providing equal access to all members of our community.
• Trip Hazard Elimination - With our Program, we're grinding down those trip hazards, making daily walks worry-free.
• Enhanced Safety - Safety is a top priority. Smoother sidewalks mean fewer accidents, especially for the elderly, children, and those with mobility challenges. • Improved Aesthetics - A well-maintained city is a beautiful city! The Program not only enhances safety but also boosts the overall look and feel of our streets.

E Street & 2nd Street Project

In 2017, the City established the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) to fund infrastructure projects that encourage transit-oriented development related to the extension of Metro’s Light-Rail to La Verne. This EIFD was one of the first formed in the State, first to partner with County of Los Angeles, and first to secure funding and construct a project in California. The E & Second Street Improvement Project widened sidewalks and enhanced bike lanes while retaining the landscaped parkway features enhancing the beauty of Old Town District. Bulb-out curbs installed at intersections reduce crossing length limiting pedestrian exposure and calming vehicle speeds.

Commitment to sustainability is evident in energy-efficient ornamental lighting, drought-tolerant landscaping choices, and innovative stormwater management features, such as decorative tree wells capturing and filtering runoff. This inaugural EIFD project, developed with community input, enhances connectivity, beauty, and safety -and highlights the City’s commitment to sustainability for future generations.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM:

Sam Gonzalez, Acting Chief of Police

SUBJECT:

PURCHASE OF GRANT FUNDED BEAM GATE VEHICLE BARRIER

SUMMARY
The Department received grant funding from a State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) to purchase protection barriers to be used to strengthen public safety. This item will appropriate funds to proceed with the purchase.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the purchase of a beam gate that includes four vehicle barriers from Meridian Rapid Defense Group for $51,000; and

2. Adopt Resolution No. 24-02 appropriating $51,000 from the Miscellaneous Grants Fund for the purchase of vehicle barriers; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the applicable documents.

DISCUSSION
The City hosts various downtown community events such as car shows, wine walks, street fairs, and sidewalk coloring contests. Many of the events require street closures to protect participants who are mingling within the roadway. Considering the recent events throughout the country involving vehicular accidents and attacks on pedestrians, the Department sought to enhance the security of these events. Current operational plans call for using water barriers or parked vehicles to protect the closed roadway from vehicular traffic. These vehicles and water barriers are susceptible to penetration from larger vehicles that can overcome those barriers.

The Department’s research determined that Meridian Rapid Defense Group’s product is best suited to meet the demanding needs to aid in efforts to provide safety and security to the community. The City previously purchased eight portable anti-vehicle barriers from Meridian to secure events and the Department has determined additional barriers will further enhance protection efforts.

Meridian’s barrier design provides mobility and security that water barriers and vehicles cannot. The City of Pasadena owns numerous bollards from Meridian Rapid Defense Group, and they have reported a positive experience to include a recent occurrence of a Meridian barrier at the Rose Parade successfully stopping a vehicle which tried to enter the parade route.

City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 58

FISCAL ANALYSIS
If approved, appropriations of $51,000 will need to be added to the Fiscal Year 2023- 24 Adopted Budget in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund. Funding for the security beam gate is fully supported by the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) Grant. There will be no fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM:

Cody A. Howing, City Engineer

SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 23- 24 CDBG FUNDED

CITY HALL ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT

SUMMARY
This action will provide funding and award a construction contract to ACE Capital Engineering in the amount of $395,132.25 for the 23-24 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) City Hall Accessibility Improvements Project. The project will be funded in part by CDBG funds for the accessibility enhancement focused portions of project scope, with the remaining amount of work (paint and c arpet) funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. A ward a public works construction contract to ACE Capital Engineering, the lowest, most responsible bidder, in the amount of $ 395,132.25 for the CDBG City Hall Accessibility Improvements Project (Project No. CF2304); and

2. A uthorize staff to issue change orders not exceeding 10% of the construction budget for a total possible cost of $434,645.48; and

3. Authorize staff to shift $45,000 of ARPA (Fund 290) appropriations previously designated by City Council for “CIP / Outdoor Improvements Project” to the 23-24 CDBG City Hall Accessibility Improvement Project (Project No. CF2304) to provide additional funding for the project.

DISCUSSION
The La Verne City Hall is a critical facility providing service to the public for various needs connected to City services . The focus of this project is to make improvements to accessibility for features that would be typically used by public visiting the facility. Such improvements will enhance and support in the continued service of all visitors including those with limitations that would otherwise find difficulty with current conditions.

Each of the City’s public service focused departments provides in -person customer service at the respective department counters in City Hall. Each of the three counter service areas will have the counters replaced with new material finishes and will include space that complies with the building code and Americans with Disabilities Act to ensure the counter height does not impede use by public visitors or employees.

City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 62 This project will also include updating the restrooms located adjacent to the Community Service Department counter. Improvements will include new flooring, modifications to the women’s restroom sink, lighting updates and fresh paint. Push button activated doors will be included in the City Hall restroom improvements. The accessible door systems will also be installed at restrooms in the community center, the exterior entryway door to the Community Services Department, and Council Chamber doors.

To accompany the accessibility improvements, the continuation of carpet replacement throughout City Hall and new interior paint will be included in the project to complement the accessibility focused enhancements included in the project scope.

Bid Process
The Public Works Department recently solicited bids for the project . The project was advertised on December 22nd and December 29th, 2023. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on December 28, 2023, to brief the potential bidders on details of labor compliance requirements that accompany the use of CDBG funds and to allow for bidders to walk through City Hall and review the scope of work prior to bidding. Out of five firms which downloaded the RFP, three firms attended the bid walk and a total of two bid proposals were received and opened via the electronic platform “Planet Bids” on January 2, 2024.

Following is a summary of the bid results including all base bid and additive alternate items recommended for award by City Staff:

BIDDER TOTAL
ACE Capital Engineering $395,132.25
Leonida Builders, Inc. $450,012.50

Should the City Council award the project as recommended, the start of work is intended to be in late January. The project is planned to be completed in spring of 2024. While this work will impact services to visitors of City Hall, there is a scheduling requirement in the project to allow for phasing of the work to minimize this impact where feasible. Staff will work with the contractor to plan and modify operations so that at least one counter will be available to provide typical services during normal business hours while construction is underway . Similarly, the restrooms impacted by this work will be substituted for staff and visitors by temporary use of restrooms at the Community Center.

Existing restrooms in City Hall near the Council Chambers will remain open during the work with minimal to no impact. Painting and carpet installation will also be scheduled to mostly occur during Friday and Saturdays to reduce impact to City Hall operations.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Engineer's Estimate for the base scope of work is $400,000. The contract award and potential contingencies result in a project budget of $434,645.48.

City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 63 The Fiscal Year 23-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $390,000 within the Capital Improvement Program appropriated for the City Hall Accessibility Improvements Project (Proj. No. CF2304). Of this amount, $200,000 is CDBG Funds (Fund 215) and $190,000 is General Capital Improvement Funds (Fund 405).

With the prior appropriation of $390,000, the budget estimated shortfall for this project is $45,000. Staff’s recommendation is to shift $45,000 in ARPA appropriations (Fund 290) from the “CIP / Outdoor Improvements Project” previously designated for that use by City Council to the City Hall Accessibility Improvements Project , resulting in no additional appropriations being needed.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 Existing Facilities, and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.

During the development of construction documents for this project testing for Lead and Asbestos was also conducted. Neither material was detected from lab analysis of samples obtained.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved of this report.

FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager

SUBJECT:

RESOLUTION NO. 24-03 ADOPTING A SALARY CHART FOR PART - TIME EMPLOYEES AND AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 23-85, A

SALARY CHART FOR FULL -TIME EMPLOYEES TO UPDATE THE

SALARY FOR AMBULANCE OPERATOR

SUMMARY
The attached resolution and associated part -time salary table reflect adjustments in compensation resulting from increases in the California Minimum Wage. The proposed changes also include an adjustment to the full -time Ambulance Operator position since they are also tied to the statutory minimum wage of $16 per hour.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council a dopt the attached Resolution titled, “ A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA,

ADOPTING A SALARY CHART FOR PART -TIME EMPLOYEES AND AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2 3-85, A SALARY CHART FOR FULL -TIME EMPLOYEES TO UPDATE THE SALARY FOR AMBULANCE OPERATOR.”

DISCUSSION
On January 1, 2024, the minimum wage in California increased from $15 .50 to $16 per hour. To be in compliance with State law, La Verne employees making under $16 per hour have been administratively adjusted. However, formal approval of the part -time salary table is needed to reflect the minimum wage increase as well as adjust other positions linked to minimum wage to prevent compaction issues between positions .

Generally, part -time positions linked to minimum wage will increase a little over three percent (3%).

As part of the Fire Department’s redeployment model, a classification and annual salary for full-time Ambulance Operator was approved by the City Council at the end of 2021.

The annual salary was based on the prior minimum wage an d adjustments need to be approved to reflect the current increase to $16.

Staff is requesting the changes be effective on December 31, 2023, which coincides with the beginning of the new pay period.

City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 67

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action is estimated to have a $39,905 fiscal impact for the remainder of the 202 3-24 Fiscal Year Budget . No appropriation is requested at this time as adjustments for the remainder of the fiscal year will be included in mid-year adjustments.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
This report was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

FROM:

Kimberly Hall Barlow, City Attorney

SUBJECT:

RESOLUTION APPOINTING CITY MANAGER AS CITY CLERK

SUMMARY
This item approves a Resolution appointing the City Manager as the City Clerk, with no additional compensation.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-04 titled, “A RESOLUTION OF

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, C ALIFORNIA, APPOINTING THE CITY MANAGER AS THE CITY CLERK.”

DISCUSSION
For years, the City, due to its staffing size, has staffed the City Clerk’s office with an Assistant City Clerk and has deputized the Administrative Clerk II position as a Deputy City Clerk. In such a system, the City Manager is typically designated as the City Clerk but all administrative and attesting duties are designated to the Assistant City Clerk or other deputized positions per La Verne Municipal Code (LVMC) Section 2.16.020. While the City Manager traditionally serves as the “City Clerk,” there is no resolution appointing the City Clerk position as called for by LVMC Section 2.16.030.

Accordingly, with the retirement of the Assistant City Clerk on January 11, 2024, who was designated by City Council Resolution on December 18, 2023, as the City Clerk, it is recommended that the City Council adopt a new Resolution appointing the City Manager as the City Clerk. The addition of the City Clerk title to the City Manager position will not include any increase of compensation and Section 2.16.010, which also includes the execution of a bond for faithful performance, will be waived. The City Clerk function within the Administrative Department will include the City Manager as City Clerk and a Deputy City Clerk position who will perform the administrative duties to include the majority of attestation of official records (resolutions, ordinances, etc.), and the Administrative Analyst position will be deputized to attest for redundancy purposes.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
No fiscal impact due to no compensation increase related to this action.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this item.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Candice Bowcock, Principal Planner

SUBJECT:

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM FOR 2024-
2025

SUMMARY
This is the 50th funding year for the Community Development Block Grant Program. According to the Los Angeles County CDBG Bulletin, the City of La Verne will be allocated approximately $154,782 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve Resolution No. 24- 05 titled, “ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING PARTICIPATION IN THE

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND SELECTING CERTAIN PROJECTS FOR FUNDING IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 – 2025.”

DISCUSSION
The City of La Verne will be eligible to receive an estimated $154,782 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for fiscal year 2024-25 . The recommendation for approval is made after consideration of the federal allocation requirements and the desire to continue the existing public service program given the estimated 2024-2025 CDBG allocations:

Public service programs, according to a Community Development Commission regulation, may not exceed 15% of the yearly grant ($23,217) and each program must be funded a minimum of $10,000. The Senior Hot Lunch Program has been operating successfully with CDBG funds for over 20 years. Staff is recommending the Senior Lunch Program be funded for the full 15% of the public service allocation, by funding the full amount of $23,217. As identified in previous years, due to expanding regulatory criteria, it is difficult for La Verne to find programs that will be deemed eligible, e.g. meeting the national objective of assisting low/moderate income persons.

One main challenge is the fact that there are no longer Census blocks within the City that qualify as 51% low/mod. This finding prohibits programs that would qualify as having an area wide benefit within the community such as park improvements, street or alley improvements and public facility improvements.

2024-2025 CDBG Allocation $154,782

Senior Hot Lunch Program $23,217
Sidewalk Repairs $100,000
Unallocated: $31,565
City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 82 The
following are proposed for City Council consideration:

PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAM – SENIOR HOT LUNCH PROGRAM

This year, staff recommends that the Senior Hot Lunch Program, which has been funded for the past several years, be continued and funded a total of $23,217. Staff cannot recommend funding or the creation of any additional new public service programs due to the limited funds available.

Based on the current year allocation, the maximum amount that can be used for public service programs is $23,217.

SIDEWALK REPAIRS
In previous years, the City Council allocated CDBG funding for the sidewalk repair program that provides for removal of architectural barriers on damaged sidewalks for various locations throughout the City, benefitting those with disabilities and seniors . Staff is asking that the City Council approve the allocation of $100,000 towards this program.

UNALLOCATED FUNDS
The total unallocated funds from this year is $31,565. While in the past the City has struggled to fund eligible projects, prior year allocations are scheduled to be expended, meeting federal and Community Development Commission timeline requirements. Current year unallocated funds will be combined in future years for projects within required expenditure timelines.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
No fiscal impact in the current fiscal year budget as funding will be appropriated in the next budget year.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
This item meets all applicable legal requirements of the CDBG program.

DATE: January 16, 2024

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Ken Domer, City Manager

SUBJECT:

COUNCIL MEMBER SALARY UPDATE PER SENATE BILL 329

SUMMARY
The California Government Code provides that a City Council may enact an ordinance providing that each member of the City Council shall receive a salary. Senate Bill 329 (SB 329) increases the maximum threshold for council member compensation.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the La Verne City Council provide Staff with further direction on Mayor and City Council salary and request for the item to be brought back for potential First Reading at the February 5, 2024, City Council meeting.

DISCUSSION
On June 29, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law SB 329 , effective January 1, 2024, which increases the maximum amount general law cities can pay council members. The limits on council member compensation set forth in Government Code Section 36516 are based on city population and have not been increased since 1984.

Increases under SB 329 are subject to specific adoption procedures and existing law which prohibits increases during the current term of office. However, per §36516.5, adjustment of compensation for all members of a C ouncil serving staggered terms is allowed whenever one or more members of the C ouncil becomes eligible for a salary increase by virtue of a Council Member beginning a new term of office. I f approved, all members of the Council would receive the higher compensation in April 2024.

Under SB 329, municipalities with a population under 35,000 can compensate council members up to $950 per month. Further, SB 329 allows council member salaries to be increased beyond the specified maximums. The increases shall not exceed the greater of the following two conditions:

1. The increase cannot exceed 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last salary adjustment, and;

2. The increase cannot exceed the amount of inflation since January 1, 2024, based on the California Consumer Price Index. The inflation-based increase is capped at 10% for each calendar year.

The City of La Verne last updated the Mayor and City Council Member salaries in 1999 to $519/month (Ordinance 938) which went into effect following the March 2001 election.

Since its adoption, compensation has not been updated accordingly. Per SB 329, if increased from the last adoption, the amount would be $1,090.90. The City of Glendora City Council Agenda Packet, Tuesday, January 16, 2024 Page 95 recently approved a first reading of an ordinance increasing their City Council compensation up to the population-based maximum for a city over 50,000 residents.

All adjustments to Mayor and City Council Member salaries must be adopted by Ordinance. With an adoption of a new salary for the Mayor and City Council Members by February 20, 2024, the pay increase will be implemented when the new terms for Districts 2 & 5 begin in April 2024.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Currently, the annual salary per Council Member is $6,228. Under the new population based maximum, the annual salary per Council Member could be up to $11,400.

Monthly Salary Annual Salary Total for 5 Council Members Current
Salary $519 $6,228 $31,140
New
Population
Based
Maximum
under SB 329
$950 $11,400 $57,000
Annual Fiscal Impact to the City >> $25,860

If adopted under the population- based maximum, t he proposed salary adjustments will result in an initial annual cost of up to approximately $25,860 for all 5 City Council Members.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved of this report.
