1 Background and Assignment

Assignment
The assignment per the Scope of Work on Proforma 92161 was to prepare a Pre-Construction Impact Report for asphalt and roadway work to be conducted along B Street, from Foothill Boulevard to 5th Street, in the City of La Verne, California. The subject trees were located on the east side of B Street. The site visits were conducted September 25, 30, October 1 and 2, 2024 and included an evaluation of all trees in the project area.

The Project will involve grinding of existing asphalt, repaving and curb work where necessary.

One hundred eighty (180) trees were listed in the inventory for the project area. Fourteen (14) of the trees listed in the inventory were removed prior to the field visit, leaving a total of one hundred sixty-six (166) to be evaluated.

Limits of the Assignment
The assignment did not include any excavation of soil to determine the location of tree roots prior to the beginning of construction work. The recommendations in this report are generalized protocols if roots from the subject tree are encountered during construction activities.

The report is not intended to be legal advice and does not represent legal advice as such.

Purpose and Use of the Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the City of La Verne staff with an evaluation of the suitability for preservation for each subject tree and recommended procedures to protect the roots of the subject trees during the construction activities. The decisions as to which recommendations will be adopted and how they will be implemented will be the responsibility of City of La Verne staff as the Controlling Authority.

Results of the Site Visit

Site visits were conducted September 25, 30, October 1 and 2, 2024, to evaluate the current status of the subject trees, site conditions, and suitability for preservation given the project specifications. A total of one hundred sixty-six (166) trees were inspected including fifty-seven (57) Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis), twenty (20) Cajeput tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia), seventeen (17) Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), twelve (12) carrot wood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides), twelve (12) Shamel ash (Fraxinus uhdei), eight (8) weeping bottlebrush (Callistemon viminalis), six (6) white mulberry (Morus alba), six (6) flaxleaf paperbark (Melaleuca linariifolia), five (5) Peruvian pepper (Schinus polygamus), four (4) oleander

Page 113 of 513 ends

Tree Care Professionals Serving Communities Who Care About Trees www.WCAINC.com

2 (Nerium oleander), two (2) Carolina laurel cherry (Prunus caroliniana), two (2) holly oak (Quercus ilex), two (2) Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia), one (1) lemon bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus), one (1) river she-oak (Casuarina cunninghamiana), one (1) hopseed (Dodonaea viscosa), one (1) river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), one (1) African sumac (Searsia lancia), and one (1) Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta).

General Site Conditions
The subject trees are located in a parkway strip along the east side of B Street. The parkway is approximately five feet (5’) wide and is bordered to the west by a concrete curb and the roadway for B street and a concrete drainage channel to the east. The parkway is divided into five sections: Foothill Boulevard to 12 Street; 12th Street to Peyton Road; Peyton Road to 7th Street; 7th Street to 6th Street; and 6th Street to 5th Street from north to south. The sections and the corresponding address from the ArborAccess inventory are listed in Table 1. Vegetation within the parkways consisted of dense, taller shrubs along with the subject trees, creating an overcrowded canopy, on average approximately eight to ten feet (8’ – 10’) high.

Tree Conditions

Table 3 lists the health, structure, form, suitability for preservation, minimum calculated Tree Protection Zone, and condition notes for each of the trees evaluated.

Page 121 of 513 ends

Tree Care Professionals Serving Communities Who Care About Trees www.WCAINC.com

10 Suitability for Preservation ratings are based on the ISA Trees and Construction Best Management Practices, Third Edition. Trees rated “high” are in good condition, have a long remaining life span, are desirable, and are species that tolerate construction damage. A “low” rating is assigned to trees in poor condition, have a short remaining life span, have poor aesthetics, are intolerant of construction damage, or are invasive species. “Moderate” rated trees are trees with issues that may be mitigated with arboriculture treatments.

The minimum calculated Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) was calculated according to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 Standards (Part 5) Management of Trees and Shrubs During Site Planning, Site Development, and Construction and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Best Management Practices (BMPs) Managing Trees During Site Development and Construction Third Edition. Table 2 is taken from the ISA BMPs and indicates the minimum TPZ distance from the base of a tree as a multiple of the DBH and based on species tolerance for construction damage and relative tree age.

Table 2: Guidelines for calculating tree protection zone radius (Taken from ISA BMPs Managing Trees During Site Development and Construction Third Edition. Page 19.)

Appendix A contains photos of each tree and any observed defects. Photos of each tree evaluated have been attached to each tree site in the City of La Verne ArborAccess Inventory.

22 Potential Project Impacts and Recommendations

Cracking or displacement of the adjacent curb was observed for one hundred sixteen (116) of one hundred sixty-six (166) trees surveyed. Additionally, damage to the asphalt in the adjacent roadway was observed for seventeen (17) of the subject trees (Table 4). Six of the subject trees were dead and one (1) stump was found. With the extent of curb replacement that will likely be needed and the overcrowding of the tree and shrub canopy, all subject trees were listed with a Low Suitability for Preservation. Preservation of individual trees may be possible once the extent of the asphalt and curb work is determined. An ISA Certified Arborist should be present to determine the extent of root damage during construction for any trees that the City of La Verne intends to retain. If the decision is made to retain these trees, construction should be monitored by a Certified Arborist and the following mitigation measures, based on ANSI A300 Standards and ISA BMPs, should be followed.

1. An International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist (Arborist) should be present during excavation.

2. Do not disturb or cut roots greater than 2” in diameter without first being inspected by the Arborist.
a. Roots greater than 2” diameter inadvertently cut should be reported to the Arborist to be inspected.

3. Clean cut all roots still connected to the tree root system at the edge of the excavation zone to encourage compartmentalization of the wounds and reduce the likelihood of pathogen infection.

4. Cover roots exposed during excavation with moist burlap to prevent desiccation. The burlap should be kept in place and moist until they are covered with soil or other materials associated with the project work.
a. If the burlap must be removed for project activities, the time the roots are uncovered should be minimized to the extent possible. The burlap should remain in place unless immediate work is being conducted in the protected area. b. To the extent possible, work that will require removal of the root protection should be conducted when temperatures are below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and exposure should be avoided during the heat of the day.
c. The Arborist will inspect the exposed roots after work is completed in the area for signs of desiccation.
i. If exposed roots are damaged or desiccated, the root should be clean cut back to the remaining healthy tissue.

5. If large roots are encountered in the excavation area, they must be inspected by the Arborist.
a. If possible, larger roots should be left in place and protected in burlap or foam. i. Excavation can continue around and below the protected root.

Page 134 of 513 ends

Tree Care Professionals Serving Communities Who Care About Trees www.WCAINC.com

23 ii. Backfill and compaction can occur as required by project specifications with the root protected and intact.
b. Where preservation and protection of larger roots is not possible, the Arborist will determine if there is a risk to either the health or stability of the subject tree.

Standard of Care has been met with regards to this project within reasonable and normal conditions.

2. The Consultant will not be required to give testimony or to attend court due to this report unless subsequent contractual arrangements are made, including payment of an additional fee for such services as described in the fee schedule and contract of engagement.

3. Loss or alteration of any part of this report invalidates the entire report.

4. Possession of this report or a copy thereof does not imply right of publication or use for any purpose by any other than the person to whom it is addressed, without the prior written consent of the Consultant.

5. This report and any values expressed herein represent the opinion of the Consultant, and the Consultant’s fee is in no way contingent upon the reporting of a stipulated result, a specified value, the occurrence of a subsequent event, nor upon any finding to be reported.

6. Unless expressed otherwise: 1) information contained in this report covers only those items that were examined and reflects the condition of those items at the time of inspection; and 2) the inspection is limited to visual examination of accessible items without dissection, excavation, or coring, unless otherwise stated. There is no warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, that problems or deficiencies of the tree(s) or property in question may not arise in the future.

Agenda Report

DATE: October 21, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Colin Purdy, Maintenance Manager
Meg McWade, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING $45,000 FROM LARGE BUILDING CFD FUND AND AWARD A CONTRACT TO FC & SONS ROOFING, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $192,495 FOR THE FIRE STATION 2 ROOF PROJECT

SUMMARY
The roof at Fire Station 2 is failing due to age. The City Council is recommended to adopt a Resolution appropriating an additional $45,000 from the Large Building CFD Fund reserve balance to the FY 2024-25 CIP Roofing Project (fully funding the project at $200,000) and award a construction contract to FC & Sons Roofing Incorporated, the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $192,495.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget in the amount of $45,000 from the Large Building CFD Fund (Fund 252) to fund the Fire Station 2 Roof Project (Project No. CF2402);

2. Award a Public Works Construction contract to FC & Sons Roofing Incorporated, the lowest, most responsible bidder, in the amount of $192,495 for the Fire Station 2 Roof Project, No. CF2402, and authorize the City Manager to execute applicable documents; and,

3. Authorize staff to issue change orders up to $7,505, for a total possible construction contract of $200,000.

DISCUSSION
The City has an urgent need to address the deteriorating condition of the roof at Fire Station 2 located on Wheeler Avenue. This roof has been plagued by leaks during storm events. As a result, this project was included in the FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program Budget in the amount of $155,000. Originally, the project scope was replacement of the entire roofing system, including refurbishment of the decorative tile roof areas. Due to budget constraints, the project was re-scoped to focus on the flat roof areas.

The bid process for the roof replacement project has been conducted in strict accordance with the California Public Contract Code, specifically Section 22032, which allows for informal bidding procedures for projects under $200,000. Additionally, all contractors involved have been verified for active licensing and Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration, ensuring

Adopt a Resolution Appropriating $45,000 from Large Building CFD Fund and Award a Contract to FC & Sons Roofing, Inc. in the amount of $192,495 for the Fire Station 2 Roof Project, Page 2

full legal compliance with municipal and state regulations. Through the informal process, the City received three bids by the due date, with the results as follows:

Bidder Bid Amount
AME Builders, Inc. $222,400
Chapman Coast Roof Co., Inc. $228,790
FC & Sons Roofing Incorporated $192,495

All three bidders attended the mandatory job walk in advance of bid submittal. FC & Sons Roofing, Inc. emerged as the lowest responsible bidder at $192,495.00. Staff recommends awarding the contract, along with a provision for change orders up to $7,505, for a total project cost not to exceed $200,000, ensuring compliance with the California Public Contract Code.

This project is funded through the CIP Fire Station 2 Roof Project (Project CF2402) budget and tonight's recommended additional funding in the amount of $45,000 from Large Building CFD, Fund 252.

An environmental analysis was conducted prior to the commencement of the roofing project, which included comprehensive asbestos and lead surveys. The results confirmed the absence of both asbestos and lead in the existing materials, allowing for the safe execution of the roof replacement without additional environmental concerns.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
An amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget is recommended to increase the total budget for the Fire Station 2 Roof Project (No. CF2402) to $200,000. The current project budget is $155,000, funded by the Large Building CFD Fund 252 and included in the approved budget. To cover the recommended construction contract award of $192,495 and potential change orders up to $7,505, an additional appropriation of $45,000 from the reserve balance of the Large Building CFD Fund 252 is 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.

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

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: October 21, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Eric Scherer, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY ORDINANCE FOR HOUSING ELEMENT, HOUSING PROGRAM NO. 25: PROVIDE ADEQUATE SITES FOR LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS ON NON-VACANT AND VACANT SITES PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED.

SUMMARY
Housing Element Program No. 25 from the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element required the City to implement a program to allow by-right development of non-vacant inventory sites that were also included in the City’s 5th Cycle Housing Element. The program was to be implemented by October 2024, but provided that the City would implement the requirement immediately before the formal adoption of the Zoning Amendment. On October 8, 2024, the City Manager received correspondence from YIMBY Law inquiring about the status of the program. While staff and the City Attorney’s office believe that the Housing Element remains compliant, in order to affirm the City’s commitment to providing affordable housing and avoid a builder’s remedy project from being filed which could lead to costly and needless litigation, an Urgency Ordinance has been prepared to immediately implement this program. There are 11 properties, all of which are in the Old Town La Verne Specific Plan area.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the Urgency Ordinance implementing the requirements of Housing Element Program Number 25, allowing by-right development on designated properties for projects that provide at least 20% affordable units, and directing staff to also process the Ordinance through the normal Ordinance process.

DISCUSSION
On November 21, 2022, the City Council approved the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element, which received a letter of compliance from the Department of Housing and Community Development on December 21, 2022. The City had sufficient site capacity analysis and was not required to change the zoning designation or increase the density on any parcels within the City to satisfy the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). However, the Housing Element included Housing Program No. 25 which provides that the City will “rezone” to allow development by right pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2(i) when 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower income households. This was to apply to sites that were non-vacant and identified in the previous (5th Cycle) Housing Element. By-right development means that such projects can proceed without discretionary approvals, such as Conditional Use Permits (CUP) or public hearings, removing potential delays in the approval process.

The schedule proposed to do this by October 2024, but the program specifically provided, “[i]n

Page 356 of 513 ends

Emergency Ordinance for Housing Element, Housing Program No. 25: Provide Adequate Sites for Lower Income Households on Non-vacant and Vacant Sites Previously Identified., Page 2

the interim, the City will comply with State law pursuant to 65583.2(c).” There were eleven sites identified in the Housing Element that were also included in the 5th Cycle Element, all of which are in the Old Town La Verne Specific Plan area. (See Exhibits A and B to attached Urgency Ordinance.)

On October 8, 2024, the City Manager received correspondence from YIMBY Law asking about the status of the rezoning. After responding that the City had sufficient parcels available within the existing General Plan and Zoning, YIMBY Law responded that “[a]s long as the city is compliant with those programs and their timelines, then the city will be in compliance with its Housing Element.” This correspondence can be seen as a strategy allowing YIMBY Law, or some other group, to file a builder’s remedy project and seek to have the City’s Housing Element certification revoked. If a builder’s remedy project were to be filed before January 1, 2025, there is no limit on the amount of density that could be proposed. Even after January 1, 2025, when new laws take effect, the allowed density is beyond what is provided for by the zoning.

While City staff and the City Attorney’s office strongly believe that the City remains compliant in its Housing Element, the filing of a builder’s remedy project could lead to expensive and needless litigation. Therefore, in order to protect the City from this risk and uncertainty, staff has prepared the attached Urgency Ordinance which will immediately implement Housing Program No. 25 to allow by-right development on the 11 identified parcels.

The Ordinance also directs staff to process the Ordinance through the normal hearing process, i.e., publicly noticed hearings before both the Planning Commission and City Council. It is expected that this will occur in November/December when staff brings forth the other Ordinances that are required to be implemented under the Housing Element.

Because this is an urgency ordinance, it requires a four-fifths vote of the City Council.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” pursuant CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) because the proposed change to the Zoning Ordinance is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment in that the Ordinance will not impact the type or intensity of use already allowed on the properties, but rather simply recognizes that there is no discretionary permit or review required. Furthermore, even if the amendment was considered to be a project, it would be exempt from environmental review pursuant to the “common sense exemption” per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as the City has already implemented this requirement through the adoption of the 6th Cycle Housing Element.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report and the Urgency Ordinance.

URGENCY ORDINANCE

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA

VERNE, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE LA VERNE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A NEW CHAPTER 18.66 RELATING TO MINISTERIAL APPROVAL

FOR DESIGNATED HOUSING ELEMENT SITES AND DECLARING THE

ORDINANCE TO BE AN EMERGENCY MEASURE TO TAKE EFFECT

IMMEDIATELY UPON ADOPTION
WHEREAS, on November 21, 2022 the City Council of the City of La Verne approved its 6th Cycle Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Element provided sufficient sites to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) without the need to rezone or upzone any sites; and WHEREAS, on December 21, 2022 the Department of Housing and Community Development issued a letter finding that the City’s Housing Element is in full compliance with the State Housing Element Law; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Element included a program that provided that nonvacant sites that were identified in the 5th cycle housing element would be rezoned to allow development by right in accordance with Government Code section 66583.2 by October 2024; and WHEREAS, the City has already put that program into effect by the terms of the program itself which provides that “[i]n the interim, the City will comply with State law pursuant to 65583.2(c); and
WHEREAS, on October 8, 2024, the City received correspondence from YIMBY Law, indicating that City had to accomplish by “rezoning” by October 2024 or it would not be in compliance with its Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the YIMBY Law correspondence can be seen as a “strategy” that it will file a builder’s remedy project and seek to have the City’s Housing Element certification revoked; and WHEREAS, a builder’s remedy project that is filed prior to January 1, 2025 does not have any limits on the density that could be proposed; and
WHEREAS, despite the fact that the City is already in compliance with the Housing Element law as it has already agreed to comply with the State law and believes such a position to be without merit, the City wishes to affirm its commitment to providing affordable housing and does not wish to risk having a “builder’s remedy” project filed which will lead to expensive and needless litigation; and
WHEREAS, there is not sufficient time to process this Ordinance through the normal procedure in order to avoid the possibility of a “builder’s remedy” project being filed, even though the Department of Housing and Community Development has declared the City in

Page 359 of 513 ends

Page 2 ends

compliance with the State Housing Element Law; and
WHEREAS, adoption of this Ordinance is consistent with the City’s General Plan, in particular the 6th Cycle Housing Element, and the City’s Zoning Code, including the provisions of the Old Town La Verne Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, enacting the provisions in this ordinance on an urgency basis is necessary to protect the City from the risk and uncertainty of litigation and to ensure that the City’s compliance with State Housing Element Law is without question; and WHEREAS, based upon all matters presented to it in connection with its consideration of this ordinance, the City Council finds and declares that the legislative findings and declarations made herein are true, correct, and binding, and that all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance have been duly performed.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUCNIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Whereas clauses listed above are incorporated herein as findings of fact.

SECTION 2. Section 18.28.010 of the La Verne Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding a new zoning designation to read as follows:

H-E-O Housing Element Sites Overlay zone
SECTION 3.Chapter 18.66 is hereby added to the La Verne Municipal Code to read as follows:

Chapter 18.66
H-E-O Housing Element Sites Overlay Zone

18.66.010 Housing Element Sites Overlay
A.Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the Housing Element Sites Overlay zone (HEO) is to establish the maximum density requirements and ministerial review rights for certain properties that are designated for lower income housing pursuant to California Housing Law as part of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element, consistent with Government Code Section 65583.2.

18.66.020 Ministerial Review
Any residential development project, including a mixed-use development project, on a site designated as HEO shall be considered a permitted use and approved if it meets the following requirements:

1.The project provides 20 percent or more of the units as affordable to lower- income households. A recorded affordability restriction shall be required for a 55 year period for affordable rental housing units and for a 45 year period for affordable for-sale units, or

Page 360 of 513 ends

Page 3 ends

such other period as required by an applicable provision of law.

2.The Community Development Director has reviewed the plans to ensure that it complies with all applicable objective provisions of the zoning ordinance, municipal code, general plan, and any applicable specific plans or city regulations/standards. No other findings shall be required.

3.Nothing herein exempts a project requesting any type of map from going through the procedures required under the state Subdivision Map Act and Title 16 of this Code as provided for in Government Code section 65583.2(i).

SECTION 4. Zoning Map Amendment.

The City Council hereby adopts the revisions to the La Verne Zoning Map, attached hereto as Exhibit A, to place the HEO zone over those properties listed on Exhibit B.

SECTION 5. CEQA. The amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” pursuant CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) because the proposed change to the Zoning Ordinance is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment in that the Ordinance will not impact the type or intensity of use already allowed on the properties, but rather simply recognizes that there is no discretionary permit or review required. Furthermore, even if the amendment was considered to be a project, it would be exempt from environmental review pursuant to the “common sense exemption” per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as the City has already implemented this requirement through the adoption of the 6th Cycle Housing Element which contained the program referred to in the Recitals above. Staff is directed to file a Notice of Exemption.

SECTION 6.Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance, or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase be declared unconstitutional.

SECTION 7. Emergency Declaration/Effective Date. The City Council declares this Ordinance to be an emergency measure, to take effect immediately upon adoption pursuant to California Government Code sections 36934 and 36937(b). The facts constituting the emergency are as set forth above in the recitals of this ordinance and as follows: A claim has been asserted that the City is required to rezone parcels previously designated by the City as being developable as of right pursuant to California Government Code section 65583.2(c). While the City believes that it is in full compliance with California Housing Element Law and has had its Housing Element certified as in compliance with that law, an emergency measure is necessary to ensure that the lawfully adopted and approved Housing Element of the City is not challenged, disrupting the City’s zoning laws and its plan for orderly development in the City, and to reduce the threat and risk of litigation.

SECTION 8. Staff is directed further to process this Ordinance through the normal hearing process.

SECTION 9.The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: October 21, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING 2024 ENGINEERING AND

TRAFFIC SURVEY AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE SETTING

PROPOSED SPEED LIMITS

SUMMARY
Local speed limits are established by findings of an engineering study pursuant to California Vehicle Code Division 11 Chapter 7. Such studies are conducted to ensure speed limits are reflective of current conditions and to support enforcement of speed law with radar or other electronic equipment as used by the La Verne Police Department.The only roadway that is proposed to receive a speed limit increase within this report is Wheeler Avenue from Arrow Highway to Puddingstone Drive, increasing from 30 MPH to the proposed 35 MPH. All other speed limits will remain unchanged.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

LA VERNE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY JUSTIFYING THE SPEED LIMIT ON CITY STREETS," and

2. Introduce by title only and waive further reading of an Ordinance titled, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of La Verne, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, RESCINDING ORDINANCE NO. 1066 AND SETTING LOCAL SPEED LIMITS," establishing local speed limits in accordance with the La Verne Municipal Code.

DISCUSSION
Division 11, Chapter 7 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes the “Basic Speed Law” for roadways. The basic speed law states that “no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.”

Requirements for specific speed limits to be set for roadways are further described in the CVC and feature “prima facie” (on the face of it) speed limits, which include both automatic speed limits and those that are established by an engineering and traffic study as determined by free flowing traffic data. These requirements for establishing speed limits are applied to the local city streets and thus utilized for the basis of enforcement.

Page 365 of 513 ends

Adoption of a Resolution Approving 2024 Engineering and Traffic Survey and Introduction of An Ordinance Setting Proposed Speed Limits, Page 2

Prima facie speed limits are speed limits that are established automatically and are done so on the basis of the roadway features or conditions adjacent to the roadway. Examples of automatic prima facie speed limits include residential streets, business districts, and marked school zones, all of which have a speed limit of 25 Miles Per Hour (MPH) unless otherwise posted. These automatic speed limits are established per CVC Section 22352, along with the conditions that have to be present to allow for the implementation of such automatic speed limits.

For roadways that don’t fit into the criteria of the automatic speed limits, or the City has identified that maximum speeds above those of the default limits will result in the safe and orderly movement of traffic, such speed limits are established through analysis of roadway conditions by an engineering and traffic study. The basic speed law establishes that the speed limit shall be rounded to the nearest 5 mph from the engineering and traffic study results for 85th –percentile speed. This is determined by free flowing traffic data acquired in the process of the study, and reflects what an acceptable speed limit is for a roadway, as navigated by the consensus of the roadway users.

In addition to the speed survey data gathered in the field, accident history and roadway conditions are also evaluated and used in the process of a final recommended speed limit.

Features including the geometry of the roadway, including the curvature, grade or other conditions are included in this process as they contribute to establishing a reasonable and prudent speed for the roadway maximum limit should be. The resulting speed limit recommendations are developed to facilitate the safe and orderly movement of traffic. In the absence of other factors allowed for the consideration of lowering speed limits by the CVC, this also applies to the reduction of speed limits below 85-percentile speed data for a street. Slower speed limits would also not result in orderly movement of traffic.

Modifications to the CVC on the subject of rounding the posted speed limits to the 85th percentile were put into effect on January 1, 2023. These modifications to the code further allow for reductions of the posted speed limit from the 85th-percentile, granting the ability, where justified, to maintain existing speed limits as established by prior engineering and traffic studies if the results of the latest study present speeds that are determined to be more than reasonable or safe for a roadway.

The speed survey update is based on data obtained from field measurements that occurred in 2022 and was updated in 2024 for streets that were re-evaluated based on the Traffic Engineer’s recommendations. In both field sample efforts, speeds were gathered on dates falling mid-week and while local public schools were in session in order to mimic typical conditions. Accident history was also evaluated for a period of two years.

A total of 53 roadway segments were included in the study. The conclusion of the study findings and the proposed speed limits is attached to this staff report and can be found in the 2024 Engineering and Traffic Study as Appendix “A”. Notably, all but one of the 53 roadway segments that were studied are proposed to remain at the existing speed limit. The roadway that is proposed to receive a speed limit increase is Wheeler Avenue from Arrow Highway to Puddingstone Drive, increasing from 30 MPH to the proposed 35 MPH. At the time of the previous Engineering and Traffic Survey, which is dated 2016, Wheeler Avenue was not

Adoption of a Resolution Approving 2024 Engineering and Traffic Survey and Introduction of An Ordinance Setting Proposed Speed Limits, Page 3

connected to Puddingstone Drive. The conditions present at that time resulted in Wheeler Avenue terminating near the intersection with Verne Orr Way, a private road that serves the University of La Verne Campus West Athletics Facilities. Since that time, the remaining gap to connect Wheeler Avenue to Puddingstone Drive was constructed, improving the local traffic circulation in the area along with other commercial development that has taken place.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The speed limit signs along the roadway segment recommended for modification will be replaced 30 days after the passage of the Ordinance establishing the local speed limits, as recommended by the 2024 Engineering and Traffic Study. The estimated material cost for replacing the signs is $2,000. The City’s Street Crews will install the signs and mounting hardware, and sufficient appropriations were budgeted and are available within the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget.

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

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

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: October 21, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR A WORKERS’

COMPENSATION ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION WITH THE POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION

SUMMARY
The La Verne Police Officers’ Association (POA) recently approached the City and requested consideration of a Workers’ Compensation Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for claims made by the City’s sworn police personnel. ADR’s provide an expeditious review, treatment, and dispute process for workers’ compensation claims. The City has come to an agreement with the POA on an ADR process and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) is the final step before implementation.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Approve a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of La Verne and the La Verne Police Officers’ Association; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding with the La Verne Police Officers’ Association.

DISCUSSION
The state workers’ compensation system is inherently complex, cumbersome, and contentious. The state system is a labyrinth of statutory processes and procedures that every workers’ compensation claim must pass through. The nature of this system leads to frequent delays and conflicts which increase worker disability periods, overtime to back fill sidelined workers, administrative costs, and legal costs. Some of the most significant factors that lead to increased costs include:
• Unclear options and pathways to medical specialists and treatments, which leads to delays in treatment and recovery;
• Seemingly arbitrary and perfunctory denials of treatment requests by utilization review (UR), which leads to conflicts and delays in treatment and recovery; • Ambiguous and complex administrative notices to employers and employees, which leads to confusion and processing errors;
• Ambiguous and complex administrative processes and requirements, which leads to administrative errors and delays;
• Cumbersome appeals process, which leads to administrative duplication and delays;

Page 500 of 513 ends

Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding for a Workers’ Compensation Alternative Dispute Resolution with the Police Officers’ Association, Page 2

• Lack of clear and timely medical information regarding employee return-to-work statuses (modified duty/full duty), which leads to unnecessary delays in bringing employees back to work on modified or full duty.

Further exacerbating the factors outlined above is the fact that a significant portion of workers’ compensation claims made by sworn police personnel are for presumptive injuries. Labor Code 3212 and 3213 make several types of injuries presumptive for sworn police personnel because of the nature of their work. A presumptive injury is a legal concept that takes into consideration the nature of work and shifts the burden onto the employer to rebut the injury. So, if a sworn police officer makes a claim for an injury that carries a presumption, then the burden of proof shifts to the employer to rebut the presumptive injury. Successfully rebutting a presumptive injury is a very difficult and costly endeavor and rebuttal should only be pursued in a few instances. The conventional workers’ compensation system runs in direct conflict with presumptive claims, resulting in the unnecessary delay and dispute of a significant portion of workers’ compensation claims made by sworn safety personnel from the very onset of those claims. All of these factors result in increased delays, conflicts, disability periods, overtime, administrative overhead, litigation, and costs.

The ADR addresses the inherent conflicts between the workers’ compensation system and claims made by sworn police personnel by establishing the following:

• A streamlined and expedited process for reviewing and settling medical disputes. This eases disputes and facilitates more timely resolutions (the majority of all conflicts arise from this area).
• A dedicated panel of primary care and specialty physicians. This facilitates more direct pathways to treatment and decision-making.
• A mediation process for resolving legal disputes. This eases the ligation process and reduces costs.
• A Joint Labor Management Committee (JLMC) comprised of members from executive management, employee union, and the City’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier (CJPIA). The JLMC meets quarterly to review program performance, to consider and develop ADR policies and procedures, to address program issues and concerns, and to ensure the program’s objectives are being met in accordance with the agreement.

Although the ADR does not cure all the challenges within the current workers compensation system, it does ease and streamline the medical review, treatment, and dispute processes for workers once a claim is filed. The ADR eases these processes by establishing a dedicated panel of medical review physicians as well as a clearer pathway for the review and resolution of disputed claims. These factors mitigate a few significant pain points that employees and employers often experience within the system, and as such, it creates the potential to reduce the overall cost of claims.

The ADR requires the approval of the La Verne Police Officer Association (POA), California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), management, and City Council. The POA, CJPIA,

Page 501 of 513 ends

Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding for a Workers’ Compensation Alternative Dispute Resolution with the Police Officers’ Association, Page 3

and management have come to an agreement on the respective ADR MOU (Attachment) and staff now seeks City Council’s approval.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The ADR program is expected to streamline the City’s workers’ compensation process for POA personnel by addressing the inherent conflicts between the statutory workers’ compensation system and their claims. These conflicts tend to result in increased disputes, worker disability periods, overtime to back fill sidelined workers, administrative overhead, and legal costs for litigated claims. While there is no direct fiscal impact associated with this item, staff conservatively anticipate that the program will either have no negative fiscal impact or help reduce workers’ compensation costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

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

LABOR MANAGEMENT WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ALTERNATIVE

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LA VERNE

AND THE LA VERNE POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
THIS LABOR MANAGEMENT WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the City of La Verne (“City”) and the La Verne Police Officers Association Local 3507 (“POA”). This Agreement is created pursuant to California Labor Code §3201.7(a) (3) (c).

Nothing in this agreement diminishes the entitlement of a covered employee to compensation payments for total or partial permanent disability, total or partial temporary disability, Labor Code §4850 benefits, or medical treatment fully paid by the employer and otherwise provided for in Division 4 of the Labor Code. Nothing in this agreement denies any covered employee the right to representation by counsel at all stages during this alternative and expedited resolution process.

The City of La Verne and POA negotiated this agreement by forming a partnership known as the Joint Labor Management team (JLM); this team is comprised of Executive Management, TPA and staff members. The Labor Team is comprised of the POA Board President, or designee. The Labor Representatives will be appointed by the Union President or designee.

The purpose of the Joint Labor Management team (JLM) is to develop policy and procedures of the Alternative Dispute Resolution program; to review implementation and the progress of the program and address any issues at time frames agreed to by the committee and to ensure that the program terms and conditions are administered in harmony with this agreement.

Article I: Purpose

Page 503 of 513 ends

2 The purposes of this Agreement are:

1. To provide active employees claiming compensable injuries and retirees who claim a presumptive injury as defined by California Labor Code Section 3212 et seq: under Division 4 of the California Labor Code (“Workers’ Compensation Law”) with an expedited procedure to resolve disputes in accordance with the provision of this Agreement and to facilitate those employees’ prompt recovery and return to work.

2. To reduce the number and severity of disputes between the CITY and covered employee, when those disputes relate to workers’ compensation.

3. To provide workers’ compensation coverage in a way that improves labor management relations, improves organizational effectiveness, and reduces costs for the CITY.

These purposes will be achieved by:

Utilizing an exclusive list of medical providers to be the sole and exclusive source of medical-legal evaluations for disputed issues surrounding covered employees in accordance with Labor Code §3201.7(c).

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual terms, covenants, and conditions herein, the parties agree as follows:

Article II: Term of Agreement
The CITY and POA enter into this Agreement with the understanding that the law authorizing this Agreement is new and evolving. The parties further understand that this Agreement governs a pilot program and that it shall become effective after it is executed by the parties, submitted to the Administrative Director of the State of California, Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Workers’ Compensation in accordance with Title 8, California Code of Regulations §10202(d), and accepted by the Administrative Director as evidenced by the Director’s letter to the parties indicating approval of the Agreement. This

Page 504 of 513 ends

3 Agreement shall be in effect for two years from the date of the Administrative Director’s letter of acceptance to the parties. Thereafter, it shall continue and remain in force from year to year unless terminated by either party as provided for below. Any claim arising from an industrial injury sustained before the termination of this Agreement shall continue to be covered by the terms of this Agreement, until all medical issues related to the pending claim are resolved.

The parties reserve the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for good cause, by mutual agreement or by act of the Legislature. The terminating party must give thirty (30) calendar-days written notice to the other party of the intent to terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement, the parties shall become fully subject to the provisions of the applicable Labor Code provisions to the same extent as they were prior to the implementation of this Agreement, except as otherwise specified herein.

Article III: Scope of Agreement
A. This Agreement applies only to injuries, as defined by Workers’ Compensation Law, claimed by the following referred to herein as “Covered Individuals” 1) active employees; 2) retirees, who claim a presumptive injury as defined by California Labor Code Section 3212 et seq. 3) active employees and retirees who file a petition to reopen of an existing claim to seek new and further disability. This agreement does not apply to any other retired employees.

B. Injuries occurring and claims filed after termination of this Agreement are not covered by this Agreement.

C. This Agreement is restricted to establishing an exclusive list of medical providers to be used for medical and medical-legal dispute resolution for the above covered employees in accordance with California Labor Code section 3201.7(c).

Page 505 of 513 ends

4 D. For purposes of this Agreement a “claimed injury” is one for which either a (1) DWC-1 workers’ compensation claim form or (2) an Application for Adjudication of Claim has been filed with the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (“WCAB”).

Article IV. Expedited Medical-Legal Process
A. Physicians who serve in the capacity as Independent Medical Examiner (“IME”) pursuant to this Agreement will receive enhanced compensation for services performed as outlined in the physician contract in exchange for expedited examinations and report preparation.

B. This Agreement does not constitute a Medical Provider Network (“MPN”). Physicians who act as a Covered Individual’s treating physician or have provided treatment to the Covered Individual shall not act as the Independent Medical Examiner (IME) in the Covered Individual’s claim. Pre-designation of a physician must comply with the requirements set forth in Labor Code section 4600(d) (1).

C. All employees with a disputed medical issue as described in Article IV, Paragraph E must be evaluated by an approved physician from the exclusive list of IME’s. Should the employee claim injuries requiring more than one medical specialist, the employee shall be provided an IME appointment in each area of specialty. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is an exclusive list of IMES agreed upon by the parties. If the IME requires the opinion of an additional sub-specialist, the IME shall refer the employee to a physician of the IME’s choice, who need not be on the IME list or in the MPN. The consulting specialist charges are subject to the Official Medical Fee Schedule (OMFS). The IME may not refer the employee to his treating physician for this purpose.

D. The exclusive list of IME’s shall include the specialties as agreed upon by the parties.

Page 506 of 513 ends

5 E. An IME shall be used for all medical disputes that arise in connection with a workers’ compensation claim including but not limited to:
1) The determination of AOE/COE causation.
2) The nature and extent of TTD/4850.
3) The nature and extent of permanent disability and apportionment. 4) Work restrictions.
5) Ability to return to work, (including transitional duty); and 6) All medical treatment denials or modifications from UR. 7) All Future Medical treatment issues.

The parties agree that the covered individual shall use the originally chosen IME for all subsequent disputes and injuries claimed arising under this agreement.

In the event that said IME is no longer available, the parties shall utilize the next specialist on the list pursuant to Article IV, paragraph (I)(5), as set forth herein.

F. The IME process described above will be triggered when either party provides the other written notice of an objection in connection with any issues set forth in Article IV paragraph E above. For example, a delay notice to the claim will trigger the IME process. Objections from the CITY or TPA shall be sent to the employee with a copy to the employee’s legal representative if represented.

Objections from the employee or employee’s legal representative shall be sent to the employee’s assigned claims examiner with a copy to the CITY’s legal representative, if applicable.

G. Objections shall be sent within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of a medical report or a utilization review decision addressing any of the issues set forth above. A letter delaying acceptance of the claim automatically creates a dispute; further, all denials and or delays of benefits including a denial of the claim automatically creates a dispute. Delayed decisions based on legal issues shall not trigger the IME process. A subsequent acceptance of the claim and/or

Page 507 of 513 ends

6 resolution of the disputed issue may eliminate the need for completion of the dispute resolution process set forth in this Agreement.

H. The exclusive list of IME’s shall serve as the exclusive source of medical legal evaluations for all disputed medical issues arising from a claimed injury, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.

I. The parties hereby agree that from time to time the exclusive list of IME’s may be amended. For either party to propose adding an IME to the exclusive list of medical providers, the party must provide notice, in writing, to the other party of its request to add a physician to the list. The parties must mutually agree in writing to the addition of physicians to the IME list. A physician may only be deleted from the exclusive list of medical providers if s/he breaches the terms and conditions of the contract with the CITY or by written mutual agreement of the parties. The list shall be reviewed quarterly by the JLM from the execution date of the Agreement and quarterly thereafter for additions and deletions of newly selected or deleted IME’S. Any IME proposed for consideration of addition or deletion after the review period will be reviewed at the next interval review period of the JLM unless there is a breach of the terms and conditions of the Agreement or by mutual written agreement of the parties.

J. Appointments.

1. The TPA shall schedule appointment(s) with the IME and provide notice of the appointment within ten (10) calendar days of the date of receipt of the objection issued by any party subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The notice of the appointment location, date and time shall be sent to the employee and to his legal representative, if there is one.

2. The employee shall be responsible for providing the City or the TPA with his/her work schedule prior to an appointment being made so that appointments can be made, if possible, during an employee’s non-working

Page 508 of 513 ends

7 hours. In the event, if an employee misses the IME appointment the parties will need to meet and confer on the reason for the missed evaluation and will reset the evaluation. If the employee continues to miss the IME evaluation, the TPA may file a motion with the WCAB to suspend proceedings and seek costs for the missed exam.

3. Compensation for attending medical appointments under this Agreement shall be consistent with CITY practice.

4. Mileage reimbursement to covered employees shall be in accordance with Labor Code § 4600(e) (2) unless transportation is provided by the CITY or TPA.

5. For purposes of appointments, TPA shall select the IME(s) by starting with the first name from the exclusive list of approved medical providers within the pertinent specialty, and continuing down the list, in order, until the list is exhausted, at which time the TPA will resume using the first name on the list.

6. The IME shall submit the medical reports thirty (30) days following examination of the employee, pursuant to the contract terms, unless a longer period of time is agreed to by the parties.

K. The CITY or TPA is not liable for the cost of any medical examination used to resolve the parties’ disputes governed by this Agreement where said examination is furnished by a medical provider that is not authorized by this Agreement. Medical evaluations shall not be obtained outside of this Agreement for disputes covered by this agreement, notwithstanding Labor Code Section §4605.

L. Both parties shall be bound by the opinions and recommendations of the IME selected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to legal challenges brought by the parties before the WCAB.

Page 509 of 513 ends

8 M. Either party who receives records prepared or maintained by the treating physician(s) or records, either medical or nonmedical, that are relevant to the determination of the medical issue shall serve those records on the other party immediately upon receipt. If one party objects to the provision of any nonmedical records to the IME, the party shall object within twenty (20) calendar days of the service of records. Objection to the provision of nonmedical records may result in the denial of the claim on the basis that the IME did not have complete and accurate information. There shall be no objection to the provision of medical records to the IME, subject to the provisions of the Labor Code.

N. The CITY or the TPA shall provide to the IME records prepared or maintained by the employee’s treating physician(s) and medical and nonmedical records relevant to the determination of the medical issue(s). The TPA shall prepare a list of all documents provided to the IME and shall serve a copy of the list on the employee and/or on his/her representative.

O. All communications with the IME shall be in writing and shall be served on the opposing party. This provision does not apply to oral or written communications by the employee or, if the employee is deceased, the employee’s dependent, in the course of the examination or at the request of the evaluator in connection with the examination, or to administrative communications with the IME’s staff.

P. Ex parte communication with the IME is prohibited. If a party communicates with the IME in violation of paragraph O and P of Article IV, the aggrieved party may elect to terminate the medical evaluation and seek a new evaluation from the next IME chosen from the list pursuant to paragraph J, (5). If a new examination is required, the party making the communication prohibited herein may be liable for the cost, pursuant to Labor Code §5811, or as ordered by the WCAB.

Page 510 of 513 ends

9 Q. If either party disputes a medical or medical-legal finding of the IME, they shall notify the other party of this dispute by way of written objection within thirty (30) calendar days of actual receipt of the IME’s report. All disputes of this nature shall be resolved either by way of supplemental interrogatory and report or by way of deposition.

Article V: Discovery
A. Covered Individual shall provide the City or TPA with fully executed medical releases, and any other documents and information reasonably necessary for the City or the TPA to resolve the employee’s claim, when requested. If the employee fails to return the release and it is determined that the medical information is not sufficient for the IME to provide a comprehensive evaluation, the parties shall meet within 30 calendar days to resolve the issue(s) prior to setting an evaluation. This Article does not supplant or diminish the parties’ rights to pursue or contest discovery issues pursuant to the remedies provided in the Labor Code, through the WCAB. If a deposition is being conducted in lieu of a statement as part of the discovery process, the timeframes in setting the IME’s may be extended to complete the discovery.

B. This Agreement does not preclude a formal deposition of a covered employee or an IME when necessary. Attorney’s fees for depositions of covered employees shall be paid at the rate of $385 per hour, consistent with Labor Code §5710. This rate of reimbursement for attorney’s fees for depositions of covered employees is subject to an annual review to determine if adjustments to said rate of reimbursement should be made. There shall be no attorney’s fees for

Page 511 of 513 ends

10 depositions of IMEs. The deposition rate under Labor Code section 5710 may be modified by the JLM.

Article VI: General Provisions
A. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes all other agreements, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter in this Agreement.

B. This Agreement shall be governed and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California.

C. This Agreement, including all attachments and exhibits, shall not be amended, nor any provisions waived, except in writing signed by the parties which expressly refers to this Agreement. Any dispute regarding the terms of the agreement will be resolved by the Joint-Labor Management Committee.

D. If any portion of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or illegal the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

E. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.
