The City of Laguna Hills is preparing a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) with the assistance of De Novo Planning Group.

A LHMP is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved plan that identifies natural hazards with the potential to impact a community, discusses the risks to the community associated with the natural hazards, and identifies mitigation actions to reduce the risks. A FEMA-approved plan provides opportunities for the City to seek grant funding for hazard mitigation activities.

We are seeking involvement from the community to help inform the plan.

In addition to addressing impacts to the community at large, the plan will identify vulnerable populations that could be more significantly impacted in the event of a natural hazard.

The City would like to host a meeting with service providers and organizations who work with underserved and vulnerable populations to provide an overview of the plan and obtain input specific to the natural hazards, vulnerabilities and risks, and potential mitigation actions specific to vulnerable populations.

We kindly ask you or a representative from your agency/organization to participate in the meeting, which will be held via Zoom:

Date: Thursday, July 25, 2024
Time: 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Item No. 4.8
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: February 25, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Issue: Proposed T-Ball Infield Installation at Costeau Park Recommendation: That the City Council direct the Public Works Director to install an infield at the existing backstop area at Costeau Park for “T-Ball” play.

Background:

City staff received a request to establish a T-ball field at Costeau Park.

Baseball facilities within the City of Laguna Hills are predominately used by Laguna Hills Little League (LHLL). LHLL is in favor of creating a more formal T-ball field at Costeau Park because they currently use this field for practice and are interested in hosting Tball games at this park on Saturdays during the baseball season. Further, LHLL reported there is an uptick in enrollment for players starting little league at the T-ball level.

Currently, LHLL uses the following City of Laguna Hills fields:

1. Community Center Sports Complex Little League Field

2. Community Center Sports Complex Softball Field

3. Upper Cabot Park Field

4. Lower Cabot Park Field

5. Stockport Park

6. Costeau Park
Therefore, it is proposed to install an infield at the existing backstop area at Costeau Park for T-ball play. This project would involve removing a small section of grass and adding infield dirt in front of the existing chain-link backstop area (see Images 1 – 4 in

Page 519 of 542 ends

Item No. 4.8
the attachments). An aerial photo image of Costeau Park is provided as Image 5 in the attachments for reference.

The estimated cost for this proposed project is less than $30,000 and would also include the following work:
• Sod removal and adding infill mix,
• Laser grading on infield dirt,
• Installation of bases at 50’ and 60’ placements (to accommodate different levels of play), and
• Removal of solids and disposal.

No pitcher's mound is contemplated because Little League batters use a tee.

Images of the infield at the Laguna Hills Community Center and Sports Complex Little League Field are provided in the attachments (see Images 6 – 8) to depict the infield work to be done at Costeau Park.

City staff presented this item for discussion on the Parks and Recreation Commission's February 5, 2025, meeting agenda.

Prior to the February 5, 2025, meeting, City staff sent mailed notices regarding the proposed project to residents within 300 feet of Costeau Park, including all the residents that front the Park. The notice encouraged residents to attend the meeting and/or provide electronic comments. City staff received no comments in writing or at the meeting.

Based on the information above and the absence of public comments opposing the installation, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that “City Council move forward with this project with specifications to be determined based on cost as a way to support LHLL growth and their program.”
Subsequent to the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, on February 14, City staff met with LHLL to further clarify their needs. They requested to retain a grass infield but with dirt base paths; however, this is not a requirement, and they would be appreciative of the extra infield at Costeau Park.

Consequently, City staff recommends that the City Council direct the Public Works Director to install an infield at the existing backstop area at Costeau Park for “T-Ball” play.

Item No. 4.8
CEQA Findings:

Environmental review is not required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15301 as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption – “Existing Facilities.” Fiscal Impact:

The estimated construction cost is less than $30,000. No budget adjustment is necessary since there is sufficient funding in account 100-355-720700 (Landscape Maintenance) to cover the cost of this work.

Item No. 4.9
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: February 25, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Issue: Laguna Hills Civic Center Termite Fumigation
Recommendation: That the City Council: 1) Find and determine it is appropriate to waive formal bidding requirements of the Laguna Hills Municipal Code (LHMC) for the award of termite fumigation services due to the following reasons: a) No bids or proposals were received through the formal bid process (LHMC Section 3-08.090(G)); b) A reasonable attempt has been made to obtain informal bids or proposals; and c) It has been determined by the Purchasing Officer that three bids or proposals cannot be obtained (LHMC Section 3-08.110(C)); 2) Approve and award the Work Order Agreement with Western Exterminator Company; and 3) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Work Order Agreement.

Background:

In 2002, the City of Laguna Hills acquired what is now the Laguna Hills Civic Center at 24031-24035 El Toro Road. In late 2004, renovation work to the building was completed.

To City staff’s knowledge, since 2004, the Civic Center has never been treated for termites. Essex Property Management, the property management company for the Laguna Hills Civic Center, and termite fumigation companies recommended that the Laguna Hills Civic Center be tented and treated for termites with sulfuryl fluoride gas.

City staff prepared formal bid documents and specifications for termite fumigation services with the aim of having the work done during the City Hall winter closure of December 25, 2024 – January 1, 2025. On October 9, 2024, the City released the Notice Inviting Bids and Specifications for termite fumigation services. Bids were to be opened

Page 525 of 542 ends

Item No. 4.9
November 4, 2024; however, no bids were received despite multiple vendors touring City Hall to review the building prior to the bid opening date. City staff believes the lack of bids is due to termite fumigation companies requiring their customers to enter into their specific agreements rather than the City’s template maintenance services agreement.

Laguna Hills Municipal Code Section 3-08.090(G) provides that “if no bids or proposals are received, the purchase may be let in the open market or by the informal procedures set forth in Section 3-08.080, subject to City Council approval.” Further, Laguna Hills Municipal Code Section 3-08.090(G) provides that “when after a reasonable attempt has been made to obtain informal bids or proposals, and it has been determined by the Purchasing Officer that three bids or proposals cannot be obtained” the procurement policies in Sections 3.08-080 and 3.08-090 may be dispensed with.

On behalf of the City, Essex Property Management was able to subsequently procure two bids from reputable termite fumigation companies. Western Exterminator Company was the lowest bid with a bid of $109,987.

If the work is approved by City Council, City staff plan to require the contractor to conduct this work during the period of August 4 – 8, which is during the City Council summer recess, and plans to set up the Heritage Room at the Community Center as a remote work area. In addition, City staff plans to set up a temporary “public counter” to receive citizen inquiries just as the City currently does at the Civic Center. Essex Property Management has already advised the building tenants of the possible work and will notify building tenants of the final work dates so they can make other arrangements.

While City staff had planned to try to conduct the termite fumigation work during this past winter closure, none of the termite fumigation companies would guarantee that roof tiles would not be broken during the tenting placement and removal operations.

Therefore, City staff believe it is in the best interest of the City to conduct this work during the non-rainy season.

Consequently, City staff recommends that the City Council award the Work Order Agreement to Western Exterminator Company and authorize the City Manager to sign the Work Order Agreement.

CEQA Findings:

Environmental review is not required under the California Environmental Quality Act

Page 526 of 542 ends

Item No. 4.9
(CEQA) pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15301 as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption – “Existing Facilities.” Fiscal Impact:

The work is estimated to cost $109,987. In addition, the leases with the Civic Center tenants provides that tenants shall have unfettered access to their suites, except for emergency repairs. Because this is not emergency work, rent abatement for the period of one week will need to be provided at an estimated cost of $15,000. CIP 505 has an available budget of $462,415; therefore, sufficient funding in account 600-255-950505 (Civic Center Improvements) exists to cover the cost of this work. The Civic Center Enterprise fund has sufficient funding to cover the loss of rent revenue.
