This proclamation is presented to the City’s Senior Advisory Committee, who continue to provide essential input on the needs of older Americans in La Verne.

Military Appreciation Month Proclamation. May is recognized nationally to honor and recognize the contributions of current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces. This month-long observance aims to raise awareness and encourage appreciation for those who serve or have served in the military.

Jack Huntington Pride of La Verne Recognition. The "Jack Huntington Award" was named after S.

Jack Huntington, who moved to La Verne in 1970. Despite heavy professional obligations and time commitments to the U.S. Naval Reserve, Jack became actively involved in the community as a volunteer. He was active in various local organizations, including the La Verne Jaycees, Little League and the Youth Basketball program. Jack also served as a City of La Verne Commissioner for more than 15 years, completing two terms on the Parks & Recreation Commission as well as two terms on the Planning Commission. Jack Huntington was a citizen volunteer who exemplified the “Pride of La Verne” through selfless service to the community.

This year the "Jack Huntington Pride of La Verne Award" is being presented to Harvey Good. Harvey is a former ULV Professor of Biology and biology department chair for 20 years, is also a 42- year board member for the Inland Valley Humane Society. The Good Mobile was named in his honor, allowing the Humane Society to bring their services directly to the communities they serve. Outside of his volunteer efforts with the Humane Society, Harvey Good previously worked for more than 30 years as a volunteer firefighter and member of the Mountain Search and Rescue team of the Mt.

Baldy Village. Harvey Good is now a resident of the Hillcrest Community. Congratulations Harvey! Introduction of Firefighter Jared Tietgen.

Public Comments: None

Council Comments: Council Member Crosby appreciates this nominal fee for all of the residents. The Council in 1980 did great things for our city, and we should continue it.

Council Member Johnson stated this is something that has been coming back every year and it gets bumped up a bit. There are different issues, but I think it’s a wonderful service and a little cost.

Mayor Hepburn identified this is one of those services that is an amazing resource for our residents, and we’ve got the finest fire department. These fees are minuscule compared to the services that we actually provide.

It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Kashifalghita, and approved by a vote of 5-0.

8. Public Hearing to Approve the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Comprehensive Fee Schedule. The City's Comprehensive Fee Schedule is reviewed each year as part of the annual budget process.

Mayor Hepburn mirrored the comments regarding the red line version and also the way that the mitigation fees for the fire department were listed chronologically so the reimbursements could be billed properly. It also explains completely what’s going on.

It was moved by Kashifalghita, seconded by Crosby, and approved by a vote of 5-0.

DISCUSSION CALENDAR (FORMERLY KNOWN AS OTHER MATTERS)

9. First Reading of an Ordinance Reorganizing the City's Public Advisory Committees, Commissions, and Boards and Setting General Provisions for Membership and Operations. City Council is asked to conduct a First Reading of an Ordinance restructuring the City's advisory Commissions, Committees, and Boards and setting general provisions for committee membership and operations. The proposed changes provide more advisory opportunities for residents as well as create advisory committees across the major policy issues of the City Council.

Recommendation: That the City Council introduce by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance 25-XX, entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 2.46 AND AMENDING CHAPTERS 2.48 AND 2.54 OF TITLE 2 OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE MUNICIPAL CODE SETTING FORTH GENERAL

PROVISIONS GOVERNING BOARD, COMMISSION, AND COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS AND OFFICE."

City Manager Domer reported on this item.

Council Discussion/Comments: Council Member Crosby inquired about the change in the Measure LV Oversight Committee to the Finance Committee, are we still allowed to change that? And the Youth and Family Action Committee what change does that make to this. Also, the bylaws state appointments are done by the Mayor, however in the past the entire council appoints.

City Attorney Hall Barlow responded regarding the Measure LV Committee, stating as long as no duties were reduced or modified to the duties portion of that committee, a change in the name is ok, and expanding additional duties.

City Manager Domer responded regarding the Youth and Family Action Committee, it is advisory and there’s not a lot that comes back to City Council for approval. Staff would propose bylaws for each of the committees. A lot of committees don’t have bylaws, there will be conversations regarding the need for a bylaw or if the resolution process can be those guidelines.

Council Member Lau would like staff to come back with that information to better understand what the uniformity of it looks like and how we’re establishing committees and continuing them. Also, to make sure that we are doing likewise when it comes to bylaws or minutes. It should be standardized to the extent that all residents know that this is a commission of the city or a subcommittee and where they can expect to find the information and it will be the same format.

Mayor Hepburn agrees we need to be careful, with these different organization chart moves and rewording, as we’ve had issues in the past. Will there still be Council Members on these committees, so we can address any issues through our city management, and our directors of the different organizations.

City Manager Domer responded that one of the reasons for the liaison activity of the City Council is to continue to provide understanding. The committee or commission is for resident advisory purposes to make sure the residents are providing that advisory input back to the City Council. We will continue to advertise through legal advertising in the newspaper, social media, and postings. Applications will be required from everybody and distributed to all the Council, there will be an interview process, and the person need not reside in the district.

Public Comments: Robyn Walker, Lily Brainard, Danita Beauchamp, Cynthia Gabaldon, Richard Bowen, Craig Walters, and Matt Lyons.

Mayor Pro Tem Kashifalghita would love to see individuals join the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol, (the RSVP) and make more of an impact. He doesn’t see that this as just a straight appointment. The Council affords opportunity in this bylaw section here 2.46.040 Appointment and Removal which specifically states, the City Council shall use the many following appointment process.

City Attorney Hall Barlow clarified that applications are required for all of these committees and commissions, we are required by law to request applications and to post notice of vacancies in all the committees and commissions. While this does provide for direct appointments by individual council, there is also a provision that allows for a majority of the council to remove somebody if they are behaving in an improper or inappropriate way in the view of those council members. It is an individual appointment, but it is subject to a majority vote for removal. This is in full compliance with California law.

Council Member Johnson wants to ensure that committee members are still providing Council with the necessary information, that there is continuity there, which is important.

Council Member Crosby believes that a good job was done in trying to get a representation across La Verne and looking at our districts as well to be represented.

Council Member Lau clarified when we ask for participants in items, we try and let everyone know when meetings are happening. The meetings are still open, even if you aren’t appointed to a position, there are still ways to be involved within the City and opportunities to be heard.

Minutes City Council 4/21/2025 Page 8

Mayor Hepburn stated we are doing this for a reason, to organize what’s unorganized, we’re putting it on paper. Our process for people applying is fair. I’ve made appointments outside my district. People are more than welcome to come to committee meetings. We are following the letter of the law.

It was moved by Crosby, seconded by Kashifalghita, and approved by a vote of 5-0.

10. Architectural Enhancements for the Metro A-Line (formerly Gold Line) Transit Oriented Development Pedestrian Bridge Project. This discussion is to review decorative design options for architectural enhancements for the Metro A-Line (formerly Gold Line) Transit Oriented Development Pedestrian Bridge Project. These architectural features are not required for the bridge function and use, but if selected to be included in the final design documents, they will integrate common architectural treatment strategies to create a more cohesive and visually pleasing connection to the Metro A-Line La Verne/Fairplex Station.

Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction and feedback for the architectural features presented in the staff report, including “Decorative Concrete Slip Forms”, “Architectural Lighting” and “Bridge Signage.”

City Engineer Howing reported on this item.

Public Comments: None

Council Discussion/Comments: Various elements of the bridge were discussed, lighting, fencing and signage. It was decided to use the Oranges graphic as part of the design, Up Lighting was chosen, and Council inquired into the use of permanent signage using a spancrete mold which would integrate the City name into the concrete.

City Engineer Howing will discuss the spancrete mold option with the design team and bring back another concept on this subject.

It was moved by Kashifalghita, seconded by Lau, and approved by a vote of 5-0.

Comments were received from: Robyn Walker, Lily Brainard, Richard Bowen, and Cynthia Gabaldon.

COUNCIL COMMENTS AND CONFERENCE/MEETING REPORTS

Page 14 of 109 ends

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
Minutes City Council 4/21/2025 Page 9

Each Council Member may address the Council and public on matters of general information and/or concern. This is also the time for Council Members to report on conferences and/or meetings they have attended per Assembly Bill 1234.

Council Member Lau reminded everyone of the YFAC meeting tomorrow, the Fourth to July meeting on Wednesday, and the ULV Scholarship Gala on May 3 Community Services Director Duran and her team were thanked for helping to bring the Autism Highway Chalk Festival to the City. Cool Cruise was a big success, and the K-9 Foundation held a great raffle. Also, a tribute to longtime resident Eric Prince who passed away recently. He was known by many folks in the community and amongst City Staff and others. Eric attended Bonita High School and is survived by his wife April and two daughters, Sammy and Danny. He was known as Big Papa to his grandchildren Violet, Nico, Anya and Valen. Eric happily coached girls soccer in La Verne for over 15 years. He is also survived by his parents Roy and Sharon, his brothers, Shawn and Jason, their wives and several nieces and nephews. Eric is not only know because of his residency here in La Verne, but through his many connections through the lives that he touched.

Council Member Crosby would like to see some signage acknowledging the City on the 210 freeway, maybe across one of the overpasses or one of the utility places, possibly bring this back at another meeting. Also, he would like to start a process at the end of Council meetings whereby the meetings are closed in honor of someone that’s passed, acknowledge that, tell that family and sign a card for them. Just a little token from us to them and tonight, starting with Eric.

Council Member Johnson stated the Car Show was a great day this past Saturday, and recently attended the City Selection Committee meeting which did have a quorum.

Mayor Pro Tem Kashifalghita appreciates all his colleagues on the Council then took a moment to acknowledge the passing of Pope Francis, and is grateful for the support his family received while he was deployed. He shared two quotes that are emblematic of the Pope’s service, one was calling the church a field hospital, which is call to attend to those battered by the burdens of life and the other was urging priests to serve the people deeply to the point of acting as shepherds who have the smell of the sheep.

Mayor Hepburn thanked his colleagues for nominating him again for Mayor, then acknowledged the amount of time required to serve and support various committees, residents who contact council members, via phone calls and texts whether they’re in District 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We all take it very seriously. On behalf of himself thanked all of the Council, City Management and Staff for how much we do in our Community and outside our Community. As a reminder the LVPOA Golf Tournament is on the 28, and the Wine Walk is coming up. The Autism Highway Chalk Festival and the Senior Craft Fair all incredible events. Lastly, if you are interested in public service, the next time elections are coming around, put your hat in the ring.

ADJOURNMENT – the meeting was adjourned at 9:49 PM.

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: May 5, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Yvonne Duran, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: OAK MESA PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT.

SUMMARY
The existing playground, now over 28 years old, no longer meets safety or accessibility standards and must be replaced. Staff recommends awarding a contract to Miracle Recreation Equipment Company through the SourceWell cooperative purchasing program for the installation of a new, ADA-compliant play structure with rubberized surfacing and integrated shade. The project is anticipated to be completed by mid-September 2025.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Award a contract to Miracle Recreation Equipment Company in the amount of $284,408.57 for the removal, site preparation, and installation of playground equipment at Oak Mesa Park; and

DISCUSSION
The existing playground equipment, currently more than 28 years old, no longer complies with modern playground safety regulations. Due to its age, replacement parts are no longer available, and the structure cannot be retrofitted to meet current standards. In addition to the deteriorating condition of interactive features, compromised wall barriers, and inadequate safety surfacing, the site poses safety hazards and has been closed to the public. For these reasons, the existing playground must be removed and replaced with a new, compliant structure.

City staff have partnered with Miracle Recreation Equipment Company to design a dynamic and inclusive play structure tailored to children ages 5 to 12. The proposed playground design meets all current safety and ADA accessibility standards (see Attachment). The design features accessible bridges and interactive activities to promote inclusive play. To ensure accessibility and safety, the structure will be installed with a rubberized pour-in-place surfacing system, replacing the traditional engineered wood chips. An integrated shade structure will also be included to provide critical sun protection for children and equipment alike.

The City of La Verne is a participating member of SourceWell, a cooperative purchasing program that provides access to nationally bid contracts. SourceWell contracts leverage

Page 28 of 109 ends

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
Oak Mesa Playground Replacement. , Page 2

national buying power, resulting in competitive pricing and streamlined procurement processes for its members. Miracle Recreation Equipment Co. is an approved vendor under a current SourceWell contract for playground equipment and related services. The pricing for the proposed structure is based on SourceWell’s pre-negotiated rates, allowing the City to achieve cost savings on both equipment and delivery.

Pursuant to Section F.10 of the City’s Purchasing Policies and Procedures, the use of cooperative purchasing contracts such as SourceWell is permitted and consistent with California Public Contract Code Section 10298.

Pending Council approval and award of the contract, Miracle Recreation Equipment Co. will proceed with ordering the new playground structure. Equipment delivery is expected within approximately eight weeks, followed by a four-week installation period, placing the anticipated project completion around mid-September 2025.

Miracle Recreation Equipment Co. has demonstrated outstanding service throughout the design and planning process. The company has been highly responsive to the City’s unique design needs and committed to delivering a turnkey solution. From prior playground improvements, their team provided exemplary customer service and thorough attention to detail, helping the City ensure our residents a high-quality and fully integrated playground experience.

The project proposal was thoroughly reviewed by staff from the Public Works Department and Engineering Division to assess the scope of work and ensure that the planned improvements support the delivery of a high-quality, successful outcome.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Appropriations in the amount of $300,000 for the Oak Mesa Playground project PK2402 were included in the 2024-2025 Adopted Budget as a Capital Project within the Park Development Fund (Fund 412). These funds will need to be unappropriated and reallocated to the Measure A Fund (Fund 237), with a new appropriation of $299,409 to cover the construction and related engineering costs associated with the project. The total cost of the Oak Mesa Playground Equipment Project is estimated at $299,408.57 and will be fully funded through the City of La Verne’s annual allocation from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD). This includes $284,408.57 for the purchase, construction, and installation of the new playground equipment, and $15,000 for engineering services, including project management and inspection. RPOSD administers the Los Angeles County Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks and Beaches Measure of 2016 (Measure A), which provides funding for park improvement projects throughout the county.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, and is also consistent with the environmental guidelines established by the City of La Verne.

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

WHY MIRACLE ®

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
Miracle brings you the thrills of a lifetime.

Miracle is one of the nation’s ﬁ rst and most innovative playground equipment manufacturers. We ﬁ rst began shaping the future of play in 1927 when our founder Johnnie Ahrens created the Whirl — a tilting, kid-powered merry-go-round — based on the timeless insight that, “Kids want action.” That same inspiration has driven more than 90 years of innovation, including the introductions of the ﬁ rst ﬁ berglass slide (1963), the 25-foot Mega Tower® (2000s), and the Avalanche Inclusive Slide (2015). Our latest advance, the Extreme Generation adventure playground, delivers challenging physical events for kids seeking extreme play. Its design brings play to new heights, with innovative, fully-enclosed skyways that provide elaborate rope-course-inspired activities far above ground, safely adding an element of perceived risk to any play space.

This never-ending dedication to innovation is the reason why, even after more than 90 years, the Miracle legacy remains focused on building yours.

VERSALOK
®
Our clamp design
eliminates the need for
stacking multiple clamps
and features a stainless
steel tamper resistant
fastener.

GATOR GRIP
®
The 3D textured pattern
makes it easy for kids to
make their next moves.

MIRA-THERM™
This textured vinyl
coating for deck surfaces
helps prevent rapid
heat transfer, while the
hole pattern keeps little
ﬁ ngers safe.

COMPOUNDED RESIN
Provides superior strength
and durability, advanced
color fastness and UV
resistance.

The Miracle Advantage
We believe the experience of building a playground should be as intuitive as playing on it. From design, speciﬁ cation, funding, purchasing and installation, we’ll be with you every step of the way. Our customized design process is free because there should never be a charge to dream.

Let’s get you started by envisioning a playground that is meant for your community and right for your budget. It’s why our legacy has always been about building yours.

SAFETY
We’re c
ommitted to providing equipment that meets and/or
exceeds the performance safety speciﬁ cations established by organizations such as ASTM, CPSC, CSA, CPSIA, IPEMA and EN.

Miracle® uses high quality materials and state of the art manufacturing processes. Commercial playgrounds and products are subjected to years of environmental and solar exposure. Such extreme exposure takes its toll on paints and pigments, and all colors will fade over time. So Miracle® does not warrant against color fading or discoloration. It is important to properly maintain your playground to ensure its longevity. Depending on environmental conditions at your location, the installation of fabric shade structures may help to delay fading and discoloration.

Agenda Report

DATE: May 5, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: 1941 WHITE AVENUE, OFFER OF DEDICATION FOR SIDEWALK AND PARKWAY EASEMENT.

SUMMARY
Novipax Buyer LLC, the applicant for a mixed-use development project located at 1941 White Avenue, is presenting an offer of dedication for an irrevocable sidewalk and parkway easement. The offer of dedication is a condition of approval for the approved project and the easement will facilitate public improvements along the north curb line of Arrow Highway reflective of the features in the adopted Old Town La Verne Specific Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Clerk to accept the dedication of a sidewalk and parkway easement for areas identified in the conceptual plans for public use.

DISCUSSION
On June 25, 2024, the Development Review Committee approved Case Nos. 38-23PPR, 26- 24TR, 27-24LM, and 28-24DB for a mixed-use project proposed at 1941 White Avenue. The applicant, Novipax Buyer LLC, has proposed a 367-dwelling unit, five-story wrap development project that includes 1,500 square feet of retail space. The project location will be situated on the northwest corner of the intersection of Arrow Highway and White Avenue on a site that has an approximate area of 4.8 acres.

The location of the project is zoned under the Old Town La Verne Specific Plan (OTLVSP) which was adopted in March 2013. The OTLVSP identifies the site within the Mixed-Use 1 District area that supports transit-oriented development with retail use on the ground floor and residential or office uses located above, within walking distance of the A-Line (Gold Line) rail station. Inclusive of the OTLVSP for the frontage of the project site on Arrow Highway are enhanced pedestrian corridor features that include widened sidewalks and landscaped parkways.

Aligned with the recommendations of the OTLVSP, the project was approved with a condition that required the applicant to submit an offer of dedication for the purpose of a sidewalk and parkway easement. The subject area of the easement will include the improvements displayed on the conceptual plans intended for public use, allowing for the widened sidewalk and landscaped parkways to be accessible to the public.

1941 White Avenue, Offer of Dedication for Sidewalk and Parkway Easement. , Page 2

The action to accept the offer of dedication for sidewalk and parkway easement along the project frontage will not result in any cost to the City. Future improvements to the parkway and sidewalk to implement the OTLVSP features will be the burden of the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved of this agenda item, including the attached Offer of Dedication documents.

Agenda Report

DATE: May 5, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Domer, City Manager
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE REORGANIZING

THE CITY'S PUBLIC ADVISORY COMMITTEES, COMMISSIONS, AND

BOARDS AND SETTING GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP AND OPERATIONS.

SUMMARY
City Council is asked to adopt an Ordinance restructuring the City's advisory Commissions, Committees, and Boards and setting general provisions for committee membership and operations. The proposed changes provide more advisory opportunities for residents as well as create advisory committees across the major policy issues of the City Council.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Ordinance 25-1130, entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 2.46 AND AMENDING CHAPTERS 2.48 AND 2.54 OF TITLE 2 OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE MUNICIPAL CODE

SETTING FORTH GENERAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING BOARD, COMMISSION, AND COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS AND OFFICE."

DISCUSSION
The proposed Ordinance to establish Chapter 2.46 – Boards, Commissions, and Committees – General Provisions was first introduced at the April 21, 2025, City Council meeting. This Ordinance is the result of a study session held in October 2024, where the Council directed staff to create a consistent framework for forming, organizing, and managing the City’s advisory bodies. The Ordinance establishes standard procedures for committee membership, including qualifications, appointment processes, term limits, and leadership roles. It also outlines the creation or reorganization of several committees—such as the Active Transportation and Infrastructure Commission, Finance Commission, and Parks and Recreation Commission—to broaden their scopes and improve alignment with the City’s strategic priorities. As these committees are newly established committees, these will be presented before City Council at a later date with specific scope of responsibility and meeting schedules, to be adopted by Resolution. Each committee will remain advisory in nature and composed of La Verne residents, with opportunities for City Council liaisons to facilitate communication without influencing committee decisions.

The following table identifies how existing committees are being revamped into the new, proposed committees listed above.

Agenda Report

DATE: May 5, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: QUARTERLY TREASURER'S REPORT ENDING MARCH 31, 2025.

SUMMARY
The Quarterly Treasurer’s Report provides an overview of the City’s cash and investment holdings as of March 31, 2025. The report confirms compliance with the City’s investment policy as set forth in Administrative Regulation Number 215, the Statement of Investment Policy, and the State of California’s Government Code (GC) Section 53646.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file the Quarterly Treasurer’s Report for the period ending March 31, 2025.

DISCUSSION
The attached Treasurer’s Report is provided to the City Council per the City of La Verne Administrative Regulation Number 215, Investment Policy, and as provided under the State of California’s Government Code (GC) Section 53646. GC 53646 provides that a quarterly report (or monthly if legislatively elected) may be submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis.

This report details cash and investments held by the City, a statement that the portfolio complies with the Investment Policy and confirms the City’s ability to meet pooled expenditure requirements for the next three months.

As of the reporting date, the City’s total cash and investments amount to $120,392,105, with a market value of $104,344,044. The variance between par and market value is primarily due to rising interest rates, which reduce the present value of future cash flows for fixed-income agency securities. Since these securities are held to maturity and not intended for sale, the resulting unrealized losses, reflected in a par value of $37.7 million versus a market value of $22.1 million, do not impact the portfolio’s realized returns or liquidity.

Of the $120 million, $14,973,342 is held in a fiduciary capacity for the Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Taskforce (LA IMPACT), while the remaining $105,418,763 is held by the City. Additionally, $1,793,911 is held outside the treasury by a fiscal agent to meet the 1996 Revenue Bond covenant.

The investment portfolio is structured to prioritize safety, liquidity, and yield. It is divided into on- call deposits and long-term investments:

On-Call Deposits:

Page 67 of 109 ends

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
Quarterly Treasurer's Report Ending March 31, 2025. , Page 2

• Totaling $32,997,105, these funds are held in various checking accounts and liquid investment pools to ensure immediate availability.
• Notable balances include California CLASS ($12.1M), LA IMPACT in California CLASS ($13.15M), and the City LAIF account ($3.09M).

Long-Term Investments:
• Totaling $87,395,000 in par value with a market value of $71,346,939, these holdings span a diverse array of instruments, including agency securities, U.S. Treasuries, municipal and corporate bonds, asset-backed securities (ABS), and certificates of deposit (CDs).
o U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds form the largest components of the portfolio, with market values of $20.67M and $20.47M respectively. o Mortgage pools have been called in this reporting period. o Weighted average yields remain competitive, with many investments offering yields above 4%.

Investment Policy Compliance:
• The portfolio complies with all policy constraints related to credit quality, issuer limits, maturity limits, and sector allocations.
• The City Treasurer certifies that all investments conform to the current investment policy and applicable state regulations.

nment code requirements, there are adequate funds available to meet the City of La Verne's budgeted and actual expenditures for the next six months. *The variance between par and market value is primarily due to rising interest rates, which reduce the present value of future cash flows for fixed-income agency securities. As these securities are held to maturity and not intended for sale, the unrealized losses have no impact on the portfolio's realized returns or liquidity.

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: May 5, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: ANNUAL AB 2561 STAFFING VACANCIES REPORT.

SUMMARY
Signed by Governor Newsome in 2024, AB 2561 requires a public agency to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per year prior to budget adoption, allowing recognized employee organizations to present at the hearing. This report outlines the City’s compliance with this new obligation.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council conduct the Public Hearing for compliance with new legal obligations related to AB 2561.

DISCUSSION
California's Assembly Bill 2561, which took effect on January 1, 2025, aims to address ongoing staffing shortages within public agencies by mandating greater transparency in workforce data.

The law requires agencies to present staffing information at public hearings before finalizing their budgets, including vacancy rates, recruitment information, employee retention metrics, and a review of policies that may hinder hiring or retention. This increased transparency is intended to help agencies better understand and address staffing challenges, while also fostering accountability and collaboration by involving employee organizations in the discussions.

The passage of AB 2561 recognizes the following challenges in local government employment:
• Job vacancies in local government are widespread and significantly impact public sector service delivery.
• High vacancy rates contribute to increased workloads for existing employees, leading to burnout and higher turnover.
• There is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agencies are adequately staffed to support public service functions.

In compliance with AB 2561, the City of La Verne is required to undertake the following actions:

1. Public Hearing: At least once each fiscal year, at a public hearing before the City Council, the City shall present information regarding the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(1)) and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(3)). If the City Council adopts an annual

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
Annual AB 2561 Staffing Vacancies Report., Page 2

budget during the fiscal year, the presentation must occur before the adoption of the final budget. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(2)).

2. Employee Organization Participation: Allow the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. There are three (3) represented bargaining units at the City. (Gov. Code §3502.3(b)). All employee associations were contacted and received a copy of this report as part of the City’s compliance efforts.

3. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates: If vacancies in a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of authorized full-time positions, the City must provide additional reporting at the request of the employee organization, including:
• Total number of vacancies
• Number of applicants
• Average time to fill positions
• Opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions (Gov. Code§ 3502.3(c)) Position Data
In the past year, the City budgeted for 193 full-time employees. • 14 full-time employees separated from employment
• 23 full-time employees were hired
• Through March 2025, the City of La Verne had 13 staff vacancies, representing a 6.77% vacancy rate:
o La Verne City Employees’ Association = 3.39% vacancy rate o La Verne Police Officers’ Association = 17.95% vacancy rate o La Verne Police Middle Management Association = 0% vacancy rate o La Verne Firefighters’ Association = 3.33% vacancy rate o Ambulance Operators = 8.33% vacancy rate
o Middle Management = 5.26% vacancy rate
o Executive Management = 0% vacancy rate
The City is currently recruiting for 6 full-time positions with only one open/active recruitment (the other 5 are at the applicant screening, interview, or testing phases).

Recruitment Efforts
In the past year, the City enhanced recruitment efforts, including:
• Improving use of NEOGOV recruitment software to manage and attract applicants • Prioritizing recruitment requests based on departmental need • Holding individual pre-recruitment process meetings prior to initiating recruitment requests
• Implementing a new onboarding process developed by the newly formed Human Resources team, providing a structured introduction to the City • Developing a benefits summary program to educate prospective employees on the City’s offerings

Page 73 of 109 ends

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
Annual AB 2561 Staffing Vacancies Report., Page 3

• Increasing knowledge through lunch and learn sessions to engage employees • Expanding leadership training initiatives to build internal talent pipelines • City Council approved hiring incentives for lateral Police Officer positions • Including employee association members on interview panels to evaluate potential candidates
• All employee classifications received salary increases in the past year in recognition of the regional market and the City’s ability to fiscally sustain a compensation level based on local economic circumstances
Retention Efforts
The City also implemented strategies to improve retention, including:
• Providing continuing education and training opportunities • Enhancing employee wellness programs, including mental health resources • Offering ULV’s tuition remission program as well as tuition reimbursement programs to support employee career development
• Increasing opportunities for internal promotions and career path planning • Recognizing employee contributions through employee appreciation events and award programs
• All employee classifications received salary increases in the past year in recognition of the regional market and the City’s ability to fiscally sustain a compensation level based on local economic circumstances

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with conducting the public hearing required under Government Code section 3205.3. However, addressing recruitment and retention issues may involve future budget and bargaining considerations, which will be presented to the City Council as necessary.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

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

CAL FIRE has completed its latest assessment of fire hazards in our jurisdiction and has provided updated Local Responsibility Area maps that reflect current conditions and risk factors.

California law requires the City to adopt the maps through an ordinance to ensure compliance with state law and support the City’s wildfire prevention and safety efforts.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council introduce and waive further reading of Ordinance entitled, "AN

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES," accepting and implementing the updated California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Local Responsibility Area (LRA) maps for La Verne.

DISCUSSION
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) periodically updates fire hazard severity zone maps for Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs) throughout the state. These maps identify varying levels of fire hazard (Moderate, High, and Very High) based on factors including vegetation, topography, weather, crown fire potential, and ember production and movement. State law requires local jurisdictions to formally adopt these maps by ordinance to ensure proper implementation of associated building standards and fire safety requirements in identified hazard zones. CAL FIRE has completed its latest assessment of fire hazards in our jurisdiction and has provided updated LRA maps that reflect current conditions and risk factors.

The proposed ordinance formally adopts these updated maps and authorizes their use for:

1. Determining applicable building standards for new construction

2. Implementing defensible space requirements

3. Disclosure requirements during real estate transactions

4. Emergency planning and fire prevention efforts

The updated maps incorporate the latest scientific methodologies and data, including vegetation mapping, fire history, weather patterns, and terrain analysis. These improvements enhance our ability to identify at-risk areas and implement appropriate mitigation measures.

ORDINANCE NO. XX-XX

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE,

CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES

A. RECITALS.
(i) The Legislature has declared in Government Code Section 51175(a):
“Wildfires are extremely costly, not only to property owners and residents, but also to local agencies. Wildfires pose a serious threat to the preservation of the public peace, health, or safety. The wildfire front is not the only source of risk since embers, or firebrands, travel far beyond the area impacted by the front and pose a risk of ignition to a structure or fuel on a site for a longer time. Since fires ignore civil boundaries, it is necessary that cities, counties, special districts, state agencies, and federal agencies work together to bring raging fires under control. Preventative measures are needed to ensure the preservation of the public peace, health and safety.”
(ii) Pursuant to Government Code Section 51179(a), the City is required to designate, by ordinance, Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in its jurisdiction, within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Government Code Section 51178.
(iii) In March, 2025, the State Fire Marshal updated and established Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones for Los Angeles, California, including the City of La Verne, and published a map showing those zones (“Fire Zone Map”.) (iv) The La Verne Fire Department has reviewed the Fire Zone Map and believes it accurately represents the Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City.

Page 78 of 109 ends

Council Packet for May, 5, 2025
(v) On or about March 24, 2025, information concerning the State Fire Marshal’s recommendation for the designation of fire severity zones was made available for public review.
(vi) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

B. ORDINANCE.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Verne does hereby find and ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. The facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance, are true and correct.

SECTION 2. The City of La Verne hereby designates the Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones as those areas identified in the attached Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference.

SECTION 3. Any and all provisions in any previously adopted City ordinances designating Fire Severity Zones within the City of La Verne’s jurisdiction, are superseded by the provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. The Deputy City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.

FROM: Nicole Houston, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE - CITY COUNCIL STAKEHOLDER PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION.

SUMMARY
The Community Services and Public Works Departments, in partnership with the consulting firm KTUA, are leading the development of a Parks and Recreation Master Plan, funded through Measure A. The Plan will serve as a long-term strategic guide for the development, enhancement, and maintenance of parks, facilities, and recreational programs in response to the community’s evolving needs. The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the City Council with a project update and to request input to ensure alignment with Citywide priorities.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council provide input and appropriate direction to Staff regarding the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update.

DISCUSSION
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan project commenced in December 2024 and is scheduled for completion in December 2025. KTUA was selected as the consultant to support the City in developing a data-driven and community-informed plan. A Parks and Recreation Master Plan acts as a comprehensive roadmap that reflects current conditions, identifies future opportunities, and ensures that resources are allocated effectively to meet community needs.

To date, the project team has completed a comprehensive initial assessment of existing facilities, programs, and policies. Community engagement efforts have been robust, including a public workshop, two committee presentations, and an online survey. These activities have yielded valuable insights into community preferences, priorities, and emerging needs, helping to inform the project's next steps.

Additional outreach and technical analysis are scheduled through the remainder of this year. This presentation by KTUA provides a status update on completed and upcoming milestones and requests Council input via a brief questionnaire, which will inform the development of draft recommendations and ensure that the plan reflects the City Council’s vision.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is funded through the City of La Verne’s annual allocation from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD). RPOSD administers the Los Angeles County Safe,
