While the portfolio is subject to the ebb and flow of market yield fluctuations, it is largely protected from the stock market volatility as the CGC and the City’s investment policy narrowly define the authorized types of investments available.

Additionally, City staff works closely with PFM Asset Management, LLC (PFM), the City’s investment advisor, to seek out quality investments in proven sectors and keep investment allocations to any one issuer low as a percentage.

CITY COUNCIL
April 26, 2022
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council SUBJECT: Approve Purchase of Automated License Plate Reader Cameras

INTRODUCTION
Lakewood currently has a network of twenty Automated License Plate Reader cameras that have been in service since December 2012. These cameras have proven to be an invaluable crimefighting tool, alerting the Sheriffs Department of stolen or otherwise “wanted” vehicles and providing crucial information for criminal investigations. The system has aided Deputy Sheriffs in arresting hundreds of criminalsuspects over the years. Expanding the number of ALPR cameras in the city will greatly enhance public safety in Lakewood. !

STATEMENT OF FACT
On March 22, 2022, Council approved the Neighborhood Safety Enhancement Plan comprised of several new and enhanced public safety efforts. One component is to expand the use of ALPR cameras. Specifically, the plan adds ten fixed mount cameras and two cameras for installation on recently purchased radar trailers.

The fixed mount cameras will be strategically deployed along major thoroughfares coming into the city. Specific locations will be determined through a collaborative effort of Public Safety and Public Works staff along with Sheriffs Department personnel.

I
Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) camera technology has advanced significantly over the years. The newest cameras available are a smaller format with improved optics, internal batteries with different charging options (solar panel or hardwired 110V/12V) and integrated cellular connectivity. The smaller format also allows for a simplified installation process, making the cameras more versatile.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department has an existing purchase agreement with a preferred vendor, Vigilant Solutions, LLC, for the new small format ALPR cameras as a 5-year subscription service. The subscription service includes the camera, mounting hardware, choice of power solution, active cellular service, and warranty and replacement coverage. At the conclusion of the 5-year term,services may be continued for an additional term, upgrade cameras with an additional term, or discontinue service.

As a contract city with the Sheriffs Department, Lakewood is afforded an opportunity to purchase the new ALPR cameras at the same pricing as the Sheriffs Department through the subscription service. As an added benefit, the Sheriffs Department will provide installation and secure configuration to their existing ALPR system at no cost to the city.

Approve Purchase of Automated License Plate Reader Cameras April 26, 2022

Page 2 ends

Staffhasreceived a quote from Vigilant Solutions, LLC in the amount of $128,201.55 for a 5-year subscription of twelve L6Q ALPR cameras. The purchasing policy allows the purchase of equipment from a provider as a sole source based on factors that include performance capabilities and compatibility. Vigilant Solutions is the preferred vendor of the Sheriffs Department for ALPR cameras as they have met performance and compatibility specifications of the department, and there exists a pricing agreement between Vigilant Solutions and Sheriffs Department.

Therefore, purchase of ALPR cameras though Vigilant Solutions aligns with the purchasing policy as a sole source purchase.

Funds are available in the FY2021-22 budget for the purchase of the ALPR cameras.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of twelve (12) Automated License Plate Reader cameras as a 5-yearsubscription service at the proposed price of $128,201.55 from Vigilant Solutions, LLC of Livermore, California.

:

STATEMENT OF FACTS
The City of Lakewood’s(“City”) General Plan was adopted on November 12, 1996, and includesthe Policy Document, the Technical Background Report, and the Master Environmental Impact Report (“MEIR”). A Master Environmental Assessment(“MEA”) was prepared in 2007 to address changed conditions since the time the MEIR was adopted.

The Progress Report is required to discussthe progress made towards allowing for the development of housing asspecified by theRegional Housing Needs Assessment(“RHNA”) as well as the overall implementation of the General Plan. Lakewood prepared its Progress Reports for review and approval by the City Council each year prior to forwarding those reports to OPR and HCD.

A significant change during 2021 isthat Lakewood began the process of updating the General Plan’s Housing Element as required by state law. This Annual Progress Report focuses primarily on the Housing Element update. New state laws pertaining to housing elements, combined with a large RHNA target, must be reflected in the Housing Element update.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Environment Commission recommends that the CityCouncil receive and file the 2021 GenerahPlan Annual Progress Report and direct staff to submit the same to theDepartment of Housing ana Ccmrmunity Development and to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.

The City of Lakewood
2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report

INTRODUCTION
Government Code Section 65400(b) requires local planning agencies to provide an annual progress report to the legislative body on the status of the General Plan and the progress of its implementation.

The purpose of the annual progress report is to:
- Provide enough information to allow local legislative bodies to assess how the General Plan is being implemented in accordance with adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures; - Provide enough information to identify necessary course adjustments or modifications to the General Plan as a means to improve local implementation; - Provide a clear correlation between land use decisions, which have been made during the 12- month reporting period and the goals, policies, and implementation measures contained in the General Plan; and
- Provide information regarding local agency progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing (as defined in §65584 and §65583(c)(3)).

In November 1996, the Lakewood City Council adopted the update to the City of Lakewood (“City”) Comprehensive General Plan. A general plan is a state-mandated document, which a city uses to plan the framework for its physical, social and economic development for about 20 years into the future. A General Plans contain elements, which are similar to chapters one might find in a book. Each element addresses a certain component commonly found through all cities.

General plans consist of eight state-mandated elements. Lakewood’s General Plan also includes three optional elements. Lakewood’s General Plan elements are as follows:
- Land Use - Open Space - Air Quality (2)
- Circulation - Noise - Economic Development (2)
- Housing (1) - Safety
- Conservation - Recreation and Community Services (2)
(1) The Lakewood City Council adopted the current Housing Element on August 13, 2013 and the Department of Housing and Community Development certified the Housing Element on October 9, 2013. The current General Plan does not include the recently mandated Environmental Justice element.
(2) Optional general plan element.

Section 65400, et seq. of state law requires that an annual report be presented to the local legislative body, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, and the Department of Housing and Community Development. Furthermore, Government Code Section 65400 requires that the annual progress report 2 “be considered at an annual public meeting before the legislative body where members of the public shall be allowed to provide oral testimony and written comments.” This report is for the review period of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

STATUS OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND PROGRESS IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION The implementation status of each General Plan element is highlighted below.

Land Use Element
The focus of the Land Use Element is to preserve and enhance Lakewood’s desirable residential character while providing a commercial component for the convenience and enjoyment of residents.

Lakewood is primarily a “bedroom community” with most of its land devoted to residential uses and only a very small percentage of land area zoned for commercial, industrial, and other land uses.

Lakewood is approximately 99% built-out. Beginning in 2022, the City will begin amending certain land use designations in support of the recently adopted Housing Element.

Circulation Element
The focus of the Circulation Element is to promote the efficient movement of people and goods.

Accordingly, Lakewood continues to make improvements to its system of streets and roadways as it carries out the goals of the Circulation Element. There are 200 miles of streets in the City. Over the next few years, the City will begin updates to the Circulation Element.

Housing Element
The recently adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element update is discussed in detail in the “Progress in Meeting Our Share of Regional Housing Needs” section of this Progress Report.

Conservation Element
The Conservation Element focuses on the protection and management of local resources, including water for domestic use, and solid waste reduction and recycling. The City continues to reduce its solid waste stream in compliance with Assembly Bill 939 by implementing various recycling programs and through public education campaigns.

Open Space Element
Various amenities make Lakewood a desirable place to live. These amenities include is its outstanding park system, equestrian center, walking trails and the Centre at Sycamore Plaza. These amenities continue to be used for a variety of social, recreational, and business activities.

Noise Element
The Noise Element identifies and sets thresholds for various noise sources in the community. The City responds to noise complaints on a case-by-case basis. In reviewing new construction and business license applications, consideration is also given to potential noise impacts that may affect nearby uses.

If there is the potential for noise impacts, then appropriate mitigation measures are imposed. In some cases, periodic monitoring is necessary to ensure compliance with required mitigation measures. The Community Development Department uses a sound meter for enforcement purposes. The sound meter is capable of storing data for future retrieval or for downloading into a computer for analysis to determine compliance with the City’s Municipal Code.
3 Safety Element
The Safety Element discusses the protection of the community from risks, both man-made and natural.

Safety issues facing Lakewood include seismic activity, both direct (shaking and liquefaction) and indirect (fires and ruptured gas lines). Other issues include providing a sufficient law enforcement presence and fire response times. On January 11, 2002, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a Letter of Map Revision that restored the flood zone designation for Lakewood to flood zone “X” thus relieving previous flood insurance mandates. With flood control improvements along the Los Angeles River and insurance requirements lifted, Lakewood residents found relief from the threat of flooding as well as a savings in insurance premiums.

Government Code Section 65302 requires cities to amend the safety element of their general plan to include analysis and policies regarding flood hazard and flood management information upon the next revision of the Housing Element. With the Housing Element adopted, the City has begun the process of updating the Safety Element. As part of that process, the City will begin the process of updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan by selecting a consultant later in 2022.

Hazard Mitigation Plan
Congress passed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) on October 30, 2000 to provide assistance to local and state governments in reducing repetitive disaster damage. The Federal government sought to reduce the amount of assistance that it was paying out to the same communities for the same recurring disaster events. While these disasters typically occur in areas prone to periodic flooding, the Federal government recognizes that there are different types of natural disasters that may reoccur and negatively affect communities. Accordingly, DMA 2000 requires every local, county, and state government in the nation to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan to identify and mitigate caused by a natural disaster.

On August 9, 2016, the Council adopted Resolution 2016-57 approving the City of Lakewood Hazard Mitigation Plan. On April 24, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-15 approving the update to the Lakewood Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Hazard Mitigation Plan was certified by FEMA on May 10, 2018. FEMA’s approval of the HMP is valid for five years. The next update must be completed by May 10, 2023. Due to the technical nature of Lakewood’s Hazard Mitigation Plan, preparation and approval of the Plan required specialized assistance from a consultant.

Recreation and Community Services Element
The Recreation and Community Services Element is an optional element which addresses the recreation and human services programs that are offered by the City. In addition to administering recreational activities, the Recreation and Community Services Department oversees various programs designed to address the needs of seniors, families and persons with special needs.

Economic Development Element
The Economic Development Element is an optional element, which addresses Lakewood’s future economic growth through reuse of existing, developed sites and with a limited amount of vacant commercial land. This Element also underscores the social, fiscal, and aesthetic impacts caused by blight, deterioration, and obsolete commercial uses.
4 Air Quality Element
A regional approach to solving air quality problems is necessary since air quality issues are not confined by the boundaries of any one jurisdiction. Lakewood’s Air Quality Element is an optional element and was derived from the Model Air Quality Element prepared jointly by 21 jurisdictions during 1992 and early 1993. Lakewood has been utilizing a variety of tools to address this issue. Reduction of construction related airborne pollutants continues to be enforced through mitigation measures prescribed during the initial study process. These mitigation measures are placed on projects as part of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. Typical CEQA mitigation measures include compliance with SCAQMD regulations, including Rule 402, which specifies that there be no dust impacts off-site sufficient to cause a nuisance, and SCAQMD Rule 403, which restricts visible emissions from construction.

PROGRESS IN MEETING OUR SHARE OF REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS The focus of the Housing Element is to identify and make provisions for existing and projected housing needs. The Housing Element is an official policy statement in regards to the types and quantities of housing to be provided, it analyzes existing housing conditions in light of the constraints that are faced by the housing market, and it identifies opportunities for improving and expanding Lakewood’s housing supply. As reported to the Commission in December, the update to the Housing Element is nearly complete.

This update process included public workshops and presentations to the Planning and Environment Commission and City Council. The Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element was provided to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on September 17, 2021 for review and comment.

HCD acknowledged receipt on September 22, 2021. On November 16, 2021, HCD requested changes to the Draft Housing Element. Staff has addressed those changes and returned the revisions to HCD on December 21, 2021. Staff is completing the responses to the second round of comments received from HCD. On January 25, 2022, the City adopted the 2021-2029 Housing. The City will need to re-adopt the Housing Element after HCD approves the final revisions. The Housing Element has not yet been certified by HCD.

Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

The current (6
th) RHNA planning cycle for this region covers an eight-year period from October 1, 2021 to October 2029. State law requires that cities provide a fair share of sites to allow for and to facilitate production of the regional share of housing. To determine whether a jurisdiction has sufficient land to accommodate its share of regional housing needs for all income groups, that jurisdiction must identify “adequate sites.” These sites must be appropriately zoned, sized, and free of constraints that would inhibit residential development within the planning cycle. Lakewood is in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region, which received a regional allocation of 1,341,827 housing units. SCAG distribution of these housing units among all jurisdictions is known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). SCAG adopted its final allocations on March 4, 2021. Lakewood’s share of the RHNA for the 2021 to 2029 planning period (6th Cycle) is 3,922 total units. Lakewood’s allocation covers four income categories: Very Low; Low; Moderate; and Above Moderate. The table below shows Lakewood’s RHNA by income category. 5 Table 1: Lakewood’s RHNA 6th Cycle Allocation Plan: 2021-2029 Very Low Income Low Income Moderate Income Above Moderate Income Total 1,296 637 653 1,336 3,922

33.0% 16.2% 16.6% 34.1% 100%
Source: Lakewood 2021-2029 Housing Element
No Net Loss Buffer
State law (SB 166) requires cities to continuously maintain adequate capacity in their site inventories to meet their RHNA for all income levels. If a site is developed below the density projected in the Housing Element, or at a different income than projected, the City must review the inventory of sites and identify adequate sites available to accommodate the remaining balance of the RHNA.

If the City does not have any additional capacity within the existing zoning, it must identify and rezone for new sites that can accommodate the remaining need. To avoid having to rezone land, the Housing Element includes a buffer of 15 percent above the RHNA in each income category. Therefore,the City will provide adequate capacity for a total of 4,510 units as shown in the table below.

To identify how much of a household’s income may be used towards rent or mortgage, households are categorized based on their percentage of median household income. According to the 2010 U.S.

Census, Lakewood’s median household size is 2.58 (rounded up to three persons).

HCD State Income Limits for 2020 specifies that the median income for a four-person household in Los Angeles County is $80,000, which is based on federal income limits published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/income-limits/stateand-federal-income-limits/docs/income-limits-2021.pdf).

Next, the income threshold of each income category is defined as a percentage of the Category Median (30, 50, 60, 70, and 120%) and adjusted by HCD to reflect the annual income of that income category.

The adjusted income is then multiplied by .3 to determine the percentage of income available for rent or mortgage, and then divided by 12 months to determine the maximum amount available for monthly rent or mortgage. This information is then to classify new residential projects described in the HCD Tables shown below into the different income categories.

Table 3: Affordable Housing Costs - Rental

Table 5 Notes
(1) Lower income exceeding median income is an anomaly just for Los Angeles County due to HUD historical high-cost adjustments to median incomes. Household lower income figures are derived based on very-lowincome figures not adjusted by HUD to account for any exceptions. (2) For the moderate-income category, 35% of annual income is used towards mortgage instead of 30%.

RHNA Production in 2021
In most other years, the General Plan Annual Progress Report describes the number and type of dwelling units produced during the calendar year and the City receives RHNA credit for all of those dwelling units. In 2021, the 5th cycle ended and the 6th cycle began on October 15, 2021. Therefore, units constructed between January 1, 2021 and October 14, 2021 are credited towards the 5th RHNA cycle. Units constructed beginning on October 15, 2021 are credited towards the 6th RHNA cycle.

Recent changes to State law continue to promote ADU production across the state. Based on continued interest in ADU production, and affordability trends, along with the City’s strong commitment to facilitating ADU construction, the City estimates that 260 ADUs could be constructed during the 6th RHNA Cycle.
1 This equates to an average of 32.5 ADUs per year. Pursuant to HCD guidance, the City relies on the SCAG Regional Accessory Dwelling Unit Affordability Analysis for the 6thRHNA cycle.

The City is located in Los Angeles County Region II, which features the affordability assumptions for ADUs for the 6th RHNA Cycle as shown in Table 6 below.

Entitlements for 52 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) were approved during 2021. However, 38 of those ADUs were approved during the 5th cycle and will count towards the 5thRHNA cycle as shown in

1 City of Lakewood 2021-2029 Housing Element, page 83.
7 Table 5 below. The remaining 14 units approved after October 15, 2021 will be counted towards the 6th cycle and will be included in the 2022 General Plan Annual Progress Report.

In 2021, there were 38 ADUs are credited towards the 5
thRHNA Cycle and 14 ADUs credited towards
the 6
thRHNA Cycle. Total annual production was 52 units in 2021. This figure demonstrates that ADU production is capable of, and expected to, exceed the 32.5 ADU annual production anticipated in the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The General Plan Annual Progress Report typically includes the affordability level for all types of dwelling units during the review period. However, ADUs were the only type of housing for which entitlements were issued during this review period. HCD reporting regulations require information on unit production be prepared and submitted in a specific format as prescribed by HCD (see HCD Tables A through H described below).

Table A – Housing Development Applications Submitted.

This table only includes data on housing units and developments for which an application wassubmitted (and deemed complete) between January 1st and December 31st of the reporting year. An “application” is a project submitted and accepted for approval submitted to building plan check. This application is either an application for a discretionary entitlement, or where only a ministerial process is required (e.g., zoned by right), the application for a building permit. Table A is shown below.

Table A2, Tabs 1-4 - Annual Building Activity Report Summary - New Construction, Entitled, Permits and Completed Units.

Table A2 (shown below) tracks data projects based on housing affordability categories and for mixedincome projects. It includes data on net new housing units and developments that have received any 8 one of the following during the reporting year: an entitlement (plan check approval), a building permit or a certificate of occupancy or other form of readiness that was issued (final approval on a building permit).

Table B - Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress – Permitted Units Issued By Affordability.

Table B (shown below) summarized permitting activity in the current planning cycle, including permitting activity for the calendar year being reported. Table B also includes data reported to HCD from prior Annual Progress Reports.

Table C - Sites Identified or Rezoned to Accommodate Shortfall Housing Need.

Table C does not apply to Lakewood and applies only to other cities or counties that HCD identified as having unaccommodated need of sites from the previous Housing Element cycle. Accordingly, Table C is not included in this report.

SB-2 Application
In 2019 the City applied for a grant under SB-2, which is designed to provide a permanent source of funding to increase housing production statewide. Lakewood received an approval letter in April 2020.

Lakewood is eligible to receive the grant because it has a certified Housing Element, has consistently submitted a general plan Annual Progress Report, and submitted an application that demonstrated a nexus to accelerating housing production consistent with state planning priorities. Lakewood’s application package consisted of three programs: A Gateway Cities Council of Government (GCCOG) Assessment, an Expedited Approval Program, and an Administrative Cost Recovery program. Each of these programs are discussed in further detail below.

I. GCCOG Assessment - The Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) is an active partner 18 with the Gateway Cities on this grant opportunity. GCCOG pledged to dedicate a maximum of 1% of the grant award to be used to help fund a regional planner position with expertise in housing. The scope of work of this GCCOG position is to help cities promote and accelerate housing production through a variety of measures such as creating shared informational resources and identifying best practices from inside and outside the region. The GCCOG regional planner will develop educational materials on housing production practices and policies that are tailored to Gateway Cities, such as guides and fact sheets to fill knowledge and capacity gaps and engage in meetings and workshops to share and leverage resources. The GCCOG planner will help Gateway Cities staff better understand topics and processes regarding affordable housing production, tax credits, land acquisition policies and practices, and options for funding.

II. Expedited Approval Program - The City will replace the existing Community Development Department/Public Works Department public counter with a new public counter area. Currently, plans for new dwellings and other projects, which need to be reviewed or which are being submitted to plan check are delayed due to capacity and design ineffectiveness which can result in project delays. The new public counter area would offer greater capacity to accommodate multiple customers at a time, which will increase efficiency and thereby encourage development of new housing units.

III. Administrative Cost Recovery - Up to 5% may be used towards City administrative costs necessary to carry out SB 2 program activities.

The City must expend its own funds to carry out each program and then request reimbursement from HCD. The end of the grant term (deadline to complete expenditures) is June 30, 2022. The SB 2 program is an ongoing funding source. In the current program year, 50% of the funds collected are being made available to local governments for planning purposes. In subsequent years, SB 2 funding will be administered as the PLHA program (Permanent Local Housing Allocation) program. It is anticipated that there will be two types of assistance under PLHA:

1. Formula grants to entitlement and non-entitlement jurisdictions based on the formula prescribed under federal law for the Community Development Block Grant.

2. Competitive grants to non-entitlement jurisdictions. Funding amounts will vary based on annual revenues to the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund.

Staff expects this may be an ongoing funding stream to help support the Gateway Cities member jurisdictions. HCD is developing guidelines for how the future years of funding will be apportioned to local governments.

LEAP Grant
In December 2020, the City applied for the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant, which provides one-time grant funding to cities and counties to update their planning documents including updating Housing Elements (Lakewood’s Housing Element update is due in October 2021). HCD bases the maximum grant award amounts on the California Department of Finance population estimates of January 1, 2019. In February of this year, Lakewood received approval of its grant application for the maximum grant amount of $300,000. The table below lists each of the four tasks (Projects) that Lakewood is undertaking using the LEAP grant.
19 Project 1. Housing Element Update
Every jurisdiction in California is required to adopt a housing element to address the housing needs of a community. Over the past few years, there have been extensive changes to housing element law. These changes will impact how jurisdictions are able to comply with the upcoming housing element update.

Some cities, like Lakewood, are assigned higher RHNA allocations and stricter rules for identifying sites. The City is using a portion of its LEAP grant for a consultant to assist the City with the update of the Housing Element and the associated environmental review as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Project 2. Economic Housing Study
Using LEAP funds, the City retained a consultant to prepare a housing feasibility and development cost study. Lakewood’s draft RHNA allocation exceeds Lakewood’s ability to plan for such growth under current land supply (mostly sites zoned as Multiple-Family Residential) and maximum zoning densities under our current Housing Element. The housing study produced a modeling tool that the City may use to identify and maximize the economic benefits and costs of certain forms of housing development in order to determine the overall feasibility of those developments. The study evaluatesthe potential for housing and mixed-use development on vacant and underutilized commercial sites. The model helps estimate the optimal number of mixed-use residential units, analyze floor area ratios, appropriate infrastructure, reduction in vehicles miles travelled, identify optimal of mixed-use densities, and development guidelines. It also helps estimate potential economic impacts and provide recommendations for off-setting potential losses in tax revenues.

Project 3. Expedited Development Review Board
The Development Review Board (DRB) reviews development plans to ensure that project designs comply with the Lakewood Municipal Code and are consistent with the aesthetic character of the City.

This process lacked the benefits of having “live” interaction between and among the DRB members, applicants, and staff. A reliable platform for video and audio conferencing that incorporates real-time plan commenting is necessary to expedite projects by allowing remote stakeholders to interact with the DRB meetings. This will reduce plan re-submittals and allow DRB plan approval in an electronic format. A portion of the LEAP grant funds would be used to research and acquire reliable video and audio-conferencing software and hardware capable of capturing, saving, projecting, and transmitting clear visual images of the DRB and the residential plans as they are presented.

Project 4. LEAP 1% Allocation to Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) The City of Lakewood is located in the Gateway Cities region of Southeast Los Angeles County. The GCCOG is a collection of 27 cities and various unincorporated communities with a population of 2.1 million people, including 16 cities with a higher population density than the City of Los Angeles.

Housing expertise is needed at the regional level to help reconcile state policies and priorities with local jurisdiction concerns, identify and remove barriers to housing development, and assist cities in meeting housing production goals for the 6th cycle.

In recognition of these needs, 1% of the City’s maximum eligible LEAP funds ($3,000) wasset aside for the GCCOG to help continue the regional housing planning efforts begun in 2019 by a similar allocation of SB2 Planning Grant funds. Funding pays for a COG staff member to focus solely on helping cities accelerate housing production, by organizing region-wide housing workshops, creating shared informational resources, and identifying and promoting best practices from inside and outside the region.

The funded COG staff position provides necessary housing expertise, and helps Gateway Cities staff better understand affordable housing production, tax credits, land acquisition policies and practices, options for funding, and other relevant topics related to planning and process improvements to accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance with the 6th cycle housing element.

New Housing Legislation
Several state laws have been enacted over the past few years relating to housing elements and housing production. They are discussed here in light of the 6th cycle housing element update.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). An ADU is a second dwelling unit on a single- or multi-family lot.

The City adopted an ADU ordinance that implements the state ADU law, while reflecting local development standards and resident expectations regarding maintaining the current neighborhood lifestyle. Lakewood’s ADU production is discussed in more detail in the Housing Element portion of this report.

Places of Worship. AB 1851 (Assembly Member Buffy Wicks) – AB 1851 makes it easier for faithbased organizations to build affordable housing on their parking lots. Many places of worship have parking lots used only a few times a week. AB 1851 reduces or eliminates various local parking requirements that would otherwise preclude development of housing parking lots and prevents cities from forcing faith-based organizations to make up lost parking spaces at a later date when a parking lot is developed for housing. As part of the Housing Element update, such Lakewood sites are to be rezoned to M-F-R (Multiple Family Residential) in support of AB 1851. 21 AB 2345 (Assembly Members Lorena Gonzalez and Chiu) - State Density Bonus Law Amendments.

AB 2345 revised a number of provisions to provide additional benefits for projects that include qualifying affordable housing. The State Density Bonus Law has become an entitlement-processing staple for multifamily projects, especially where jurisdictions already require affordable units pursuant to inclusionary housing ordinances. There have been no residential developments built in Lakewood utilizing density bonuses. Section 9332.5 of the Lakewood Municipal Code allows for density bonuses by reference to state law. Below are some notable amendments under AB 2345:

Eligibility: In order to qualify for the density bonus provided by AB 1763 (allowing 80 percent or unlimited density bonus), 100 percent of the total units, including the base units and density bonus units, must be affordable for lower income households, except that 20 percent of those units may be affordable for moderate-income households.

Density Bonuses: Increases the maximum density bonus, to up to 50 percent, based on an updated sliding scale of housing affordability.

Incentives/Concessions: Lowers the threshold required to qualify for two incentives/concessions from 20 percent to 17 percent for lower income households and the threshold to qualify for three incentives/concessions from 30 percent to 24 percent for lower income households.

Development Standard Waiver: A housing development that receives an unlimited density bonus under AB 1763 is eligible for a development standard waiver if a jurisdiction agrees to grant such waiver.

Major Transit Stop: Clarifies how to measure half-mile of a major transit stop (for purposes of qualifying to additional benefits (e.g., parking reductions)) and defines the term "natural or constructed impediments" for purposes of determining whether a development has unobstructed access to a transit stop.

Parking: Decreases the maximum ratio of vehicular parking for developments with 2 to 3 bedrooms so that no more than 1.5 spaces may be required per unit. It also authorizes a developer to request that a jurisdiction not impose vehicular parking standards if the development is a for-rent housing development for individuals who are 62 years of age or older that will have either paratransit service or unobstructed access to a fixed bus route and meets other qualifying criteria.

City Ordinances: Provides that a jurisdiction that has adopted an ordinance and/or a program that allows for density bonuses that exceed the density bonuses required by the State Density Bonus Law is not required to amend or otherwise update its ordinance or housing program to comply with the amendments made by AB 2345.

General Plan Annual Report: Requires that a jurisdiction's General Plan annual progress report include specified information regarding density bonuses. This appears as a new section in the housing element portion of this report.

Because of the number and technicality of amendments, the amendments should be reviewed and 22 considered carefully in relation to the prior state law as well as an individual jurisdiction's Density Bonus Law ordinance and/or program. Review of density bonus law may be a program under the 6th cycle housing element update. Housing Program B-3 within the 2021-2019 Housing Element Update requires that the zoning ordinance to be amended to meet current state Density Bonus requirements (AB 2345, SB 1763, and AB 1227).

Planning AB 725 (Wicks). AB 725 imposes new requirements for housing element updates that are required to be prepared under the already-underway 6th cycle of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process. Existing RHNA requirements mandate designation of adequate overall housing sites to accommodate RHNA housing growth, as well as designation of adequate housing sites for low income and other specified subcategories of housing. AB 725 requires that cities designate sites to meet at least 25 percent of a jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need for moderate-income housing, and at least 25 percent of a jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need for above moderate-income housing. For these sites, zoning that allows at least four units of housing, but not more than 100 units per acre of housing, is required. Lakewood’s 2021-2019 Housing Element Update reflects this requirement.

AB 671 and AB 139[2]. Housing elements must now promote ADUs for affordable rent and HCD must provide financial incentives. Every General Plan’s Housing Element must now include, as part of its program to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community, a “plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of [ADUs] that can be offered at affordable rent ... for very low, low, and moderate-income households.” For its part, HCD is charged with developing “a list of existing state grants and financial incentives” for ADU developers and operators by the end of 2020. In practice, cities and counties will likely need to not only discuss their ADU ordinance and report on ADU development in their housing elements, but also report on what they are doing to promote affordable rental of those ADUs. ADUs may count toward fulfilling RHNA requirements.

Lakewood’s 2021-2019 Housing Element Update reflects this requirement.

AB 1255 Information and Reporting Requirements. Under existing law, counties are required to establish a central inventory of all surplus government property located in the county. AB 1255 amends the Government Code to extend this obligation to cities. It requires that on or before Dec. 31 of each year, each county and city create an inventory of surplus land (land no longer necessary for the agency’s use) and excess land (land in excess of the agency’s foreseeable needs) within its jurisdiction.

Upon request, the agencies are required to make the inventory available to a citizen, limited dividend corporation or nonprofit corporation free of charge. For each site identified in the inventory, the agency must provide a description of the parcel, its present uses, and report that information to HCD before April 1 of each year. HCD must then report that information to the Department of General Services for inclusion in an inventory of all state-owned parcels that are in excess of state needs. Housing Program A-3 within the 2021-2019 Housing Element Update reflects this requirement.

SB 6. Similar to AB 1255, requires the Department of General Services (DGS) to develop and host a publicly available database on its website that lists the “inventory sites” that local agencies have identified as suitable and available for residential development in their respective housing elements.

Under existing law — including, specifically, Housing Element Law Section 65583(a)(3) — these inventory sites are required to be included in each local agency’s housing element. SB 6 requires local agencies to prepare their respective inventory sites consistent not only with existing law, but also with 23 standards, form, and definitions adopted by HCD. SB 6 further authorizes HCD to adopt, amend and repeal these standards, forms, and definitions to implement Housing Element Law section 65583(a).

Housing Program A-3 within the 2021-2019 Housing Element Update reflects this requirement.

AB 686. AB 686 created new requirements for all state and local agencies to ensure that their laws, programs, and activities affirmatively further fair housing, and that they take no action inconsistent with this obligation. AB 686 also requires housing elements to include a program that promotes and affirmatively furthers fair housing opportunities throughout the community for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Government Code Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair housing and planning law. Additionally, all housing elements due on or after January 1, 2021, must contain an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) consistent with the core elements of the analysis required by the federal Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Final Rule of July 16, 2015. Many important terms relevant to the AFH are defined in HUD’s 2015 AFFH Rule. The housing element land inventory and identification of sites must be consistent with a jurisdiction’s duty to AFFH and the findings of its AFH. Under state law, affirmatively further fair housing means “taking meaningful actions, in addition to combatting discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics.” Appendix D: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing within the 2021-2019 Housing Element Update reflects this requirement.

Conclusion
Lakewood will continue to face new opportunities and challenges over the next several years because of changes in the economy, the demand for housing, and addressing various other challenges. From the time of its adoption in November 1996, implementation of the Lakewood Comprehensive General Plan continues to successfully guide improvements to Lakewood’s neighborhoods, parks, and businesses. 4 ORDINANCE NO. 2022-1

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

LAKEWOOD AMENDING ARTICLE III OF THE LAKEWOOD

MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO UNLAWFUL

POSSESSION OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
WHEREAS, the theft of catalytic converters has been an increasing problem regionally and nationally, and Lakewood is not immune to this trend; and 't= WHEREAS, catalytic converters contain expensive precious metals including platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which currently cost over $11,000 per ounce; and ;
WHEREAS, the average cost of replacing a stolen catalytic converter and repairing the damage to the vehicle is generally over $2,000 to the victim; and WHEREAS, individuals in possession of stolen catalytic converters often recycle them for
substantial profit while victims of these thefts suffer the consequences of paying thousands of dollars in repairs, the inconvenience of repairing their vehicles, and feeling unsafe in the community; and
i
WHEREAS, catalytic converter thefts are on the rise because individuals are incentivized to commit catalytic converter thefts for multiple reasons including, but not limited to: (1) the ease and undetectable nature of committing the thefts in a matter of seconds using common tools such as a reciprocating saw, (2) the ability to recycle the precious metals contained in catalytic converters at scrap metal yards for high dollar returns, and (3) the challenges with prosecuting criminals for catalytic converter theft where a victim cannot be identified; and :
j
:

WHEREAS, finding the victim of these crimes is nearly impossible due to the manner in which the catalytic converter thefts occur and lack of identifying markers on catalytic converters to link a stolen catalytic converter to the victim; and :
;
;
i WHEREAS, the inability to identify the victims of catalytic converter thefts has stymied the ability to successfully prosecute individuals for the thefts; and i
WHEREAS, due to lack of legislation addressing these thefts, the majority of catalytic converter theft cases are unresolved; and
WHEREAS, there is currently no city, state, or federal legislation applicable within the City of Lakewood requiring individuals to provide proof to law enforcement showing how they obtained detached catalytic converters, thus limiting law enforcement’s ability to protect the public by deterring catalytic converter thefts; and

COUNCIL AGENDA
April 26 , 2022
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Authorize Purchase of Modular Office Unit for Community Development and Public Works

INTRODUCTION
On September 28, 2021 Council authorized ARPA Ad Hoc committee’s recommended use of the Federal American Rescue Act (ARPA) funds, for the purchase and installation of a modular office unit to house the Code Enforcement Division of the Community Development Department and the Project Management Division of the Public Works Department. The project budget was preliminarily estimated at $550,000, inclusive of $182,000 for the modular unit from Pacific Mobile Structures Inc. This modular office unit will provide sufficientspace for 8 employees along with one single-use ADA-accessible restroom and plan and file storage. The additional space is needed to accommodate the Code Enforcement personnel who have been stationed at the Centre through the pandemic and who will need to be relocated as the Centre is returning to its prepandemic use, as well as some Public Works staff who cannot be safely accommodated in the already crowded City Hall.

STATEMENT OF FACT
Pacific Mobile Structures Inc, is a member of TIPS-USA, an acronym for the Interlocal Purchasing System, a national purchasing cooperative that offers access to competitively procured contracts to its membership. The City of Lakewood benefits by being a member of TIPS-USA by receiving access to competitively procured contracts with quality vendors, savings of time and financial resources necessary to fulfill bid requirements, assistance with purchasing process by qualified TIPS staff, and access to pricing based on national high profile contracts.

Pacific Mobile Structures Inc. has provided an updated quote for the purchase of the modular office unit. The price for the purchase of the unit is not to exceed $225,000, which represents a 24% increase in cost from the original quote due to current supply chain and market conditions, as well as modest refinements to the design based on a better understanding of the operational needs, This price includes a purchasing cooperative discount of $4,549.30 using TIPS-USA and is valid until May 5
th
. The current quote will expire soon. Therefore, purchasing the unit now will allow us to get into the manufacturing queue before prices increase again and lead times lengthen. The proposed not-to-exceed price of $225,000 is only for the purchase of the modular office unit, and does not include associated costs such as foundation, installation, site work, and utilities including the installation of telecom, water, electrical, storm drain, and a sewer connection, In addition to the price of the modular unit increasing from the original estimate back in September, our estimate of other associated projects costs have also increased due to similar market force dynamics as well as our more refined understanding of the project scope of work. The current project is estimated at $750,000, or $200,000 over our current project budget.

3.2 Authorize Purchase of Modular Office Unit for Community Development and Public Works April 26, 2022
Page Two
In preparation for the CIP Committee meeting held on April 18, 2022, staff requested an updated rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate based on preliminary schematic drawings. The ROM estimate presented was very conservative and included a 50% indirect cost markup due to uncertainties associated with market conditions, and an imprecise understanding ofsite conditions.

The ROM at the time of the CIP Committee meeting was $925,000. The ROM included redundancies between the mobile modular foundation and other site improvements, Staff has since scrutinized the preliminary ROM cost estimate and met with our consultant to refine the estimate, eliminating the redundancies and refining scope of work, leading us to our current project estimate of $750,000.

As site construction drawings are finalized, it is expected that the project cost will be further reduced; however current market conditions could continue to affect the pricing. If the Council approves the purchase of the Modular unit, the estimated delivery of the unit is November of 2022.

Staff will finalize the site improvements construction documents and will return to Council for award of associated work including foundation, installation and site work. Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of the modular unit at the not-to-exceed price of $225,000. There are sufficient funds in the account 10259922-58200-70120 for the purchase of the modular office unit.

Staff will return for a budget adjustment request once construction drawings are complete and the engineer’s estimate is finalized.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

Authorize staff to purchase the CD/PW modular office unit and installation in an amount not-to-exceed $225,000, and authorize the Mayor to sign the proposal, 0)

SUBJECT: Quarterly Budget Report of Major Funds- as of March 31, 2022 :

INTRODUCTION
The City is in the second year of a two-year budget, adopted in June 2020 and revised by the City Council in June 2021. Following is a quarterly budget review as of March 31, 2022 for the City’s two major funds, the General Fund and the Water Utility Enterprise Fund. ;
In addition to scheduled formal budget reviews, Staff continually monitors the year-round inflow and outflow of funds to make sure that the City remains on a sound fiscal path. Within the budget, particular attention is given to the City's two major funds as mentioned above. Together, the funds support the majority of the City's day-to-day operations with the General Fund being the City's most discretionary funding source.

Following is the quarterly review of the General Fund and the Water Utility Enterprise Fund Budgets as of March 31, 2022:
= STATEMENT OF FACT
General Fund
The General Fund is the largest City fund. Its operational expenditures are trending as expected and are aligned with final budget estimates for the current year developed as part of the upcoming FY 2022-24 Proposed Budget. Overall, 62.6% of the year’s total expenditure budget has been utilized through the end of the third quarter (or 75% of the fiscal year). See expenditure summary table on the following page. Given the normal time lag in receiving invoices and processing payments for costs incurred, the figure is appropriate. Employee Services and Contract Services represent the two largest expenditure categories and have expended 75.7% and 61.1% of their budgets, respectively. Employee Servicesis slightly higher than normal asit includes some annual costs incurred in the first quarter that are not realized during the rest of the year. :
'
Another area worth highlighting is the Other Operating Expenditure line item with 85.1% of the annual budget expended. Of the $2,468,830 expended in the year, almost $1 million represents paymentsfor the City’s various insurance coverages. These amounts are paid in lump sum during the month of July for annual coverage. Lastly, it is important to note that Capital Outlay / Capital Improvement Project (CIP) expenditures are irregular in their spending pattern with projects often spanning multiple fiscal years. When excluding them (and only including Operational Expenditures), the year-to-date (YTD) expenditure percentage increases from 62.6% to 68,7%.

General Fund revenues through the third quarter are also tracking as expected and according to annual seasonal trends. Not surprisingly, at 64.6% YTD, revenues lag behind the 75% marker for the third quarter. The delay stems from larger revenue sources necessarily having to flow through state and county collection processes prior to receipt by the City. Additionally, some large revenues are received as single payments later in the fiscal year (i.e. SCE and Gas Company franchise fees). In contrast, the City’s Business License Tax is mostly collected at the beginning of the fiscal year when licenses are renewed in-line with the City’s fiscal year. Additional (but relatively fewer) Business License Tax revenues are received throughout the rest of the year from new businesses or contractors coming into the city, with this year’s receipts exceeding estimates.

Sales tax revenue amounts look to remain strong. Bradley-Bums is anticipated to provide $15,275,000 for the year, having received $10,112,998, while Measure L is expected to generate $11,800,000 during the year, with $7,925,964 YTD. Current-year receipts for both will be remitted by the State through the end of August.

Water Utility Enterprise Fund
At 42.5% YTD, overall Water expenses are tracking under budget. Similar to trending with General Fund expenditures, there is a time lag in receiving and processing incurred costs. While Employee Servicesincludes annual lump sum costsincurred in the first quarter, overall it isslightly lower than normal as position vacancies have provided offsetting savings. The final estimate amount for Facilities Expenses includes anticipated year-end payments to the Water Replenishment District for carryover water rights.

COUNCIL AGENDA

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Pan Am Fiesta Preview

INTRODUCTION
The city will host the annual Pan Am Fiesta at Mayfair Park beginning Thursday, May 5 and concluding on Sunday, May 8, 2022.

STATEMENT OF FACT
Lakewood’s oldest community special event dates back to 1945 when Dr. Walter Montano, former Bolivian consul, and Jesse Solter, a local schoolteacher, shook hands over a backyard fence and pledged to begin a program that fostered good relations with Lakewood’s Latin American neighbors. This year’s Pan Am Fiesta will continue with special event elements, including amusement rides, food booths, a cultural mix of live entertainment, the Children’s Cultural Booth, a shoppers circle, and a display of Lakewood’s Pan American history. ;
