COUNCIL AGENDA
February 13, 2024
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Report of City Council Committees’ Activities

INTRODUCTION
A brief update is provided for City Council review on the activities of the following standing committees: Audit, Public Safety, and Capital Improvement Plan committees.

STATEMENT OF FACT
On December 4, 2023, the Audit Committee met and discussed:

As part of the city’s independent audit procedures and “direct communication with the government board” best practices, Mr. Kenneth Pun (Engagement Partner with The Pun Group) presented the results of the recent audit, including a draft of the city’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and key financial indicators. The report was subsequently presented to the City Council at the December 12, 2023 meeting. Mr. Julio Morales from Kosmont Financial Services presented a variety of financing tools to further enhance funding of the city’s pension obligations. More information for discussion will be brought to the Committee and Council in 2024. The Recreation and Community Services Department presented several changes regarding risk mitigation and business license policies for recreation contract instructors. Lastly, staff presented an overview of cybersecurity measures recently implemented across various city systems. This was a follow up to prior discussions between the Committee, staff, and The Pun Group regarding the increasing importance of cybersecurity.

On January 12, the Public Safety Committee met and discussed:

Local Roadway Traffic Safety Update
The City Manager reviewed a report that addressed city-wide traffic safety measures completed and referenced the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) that includes recommended improvement projects for future consideration. Per the Committee’s request, a dedicated meeting will be scheduled for an extensive review of the presented traffic safety issues.

Purchase of Security Camera Trailers
Additional security camera trailers would assist law enforcement with improved response times and provide footage for use in prosecution, if needed. Staff recommended for the Committee to recommend for City Council to approve the purchase of three mobile security camera trailers.

Chairman Rogers moved and Member Pe seconded without objection.

Salvation Army Bell Shelter Update
Staff provided an update on services delivered by Bell Shelter in the first six months of the shelter bed program. Recently,there has been a wait list for current dedicated beds. Staff proposed to increase the number of beds from four to eight. Staff recommended for the Committee to recommend for City Council to approve an amendment to the agreement with Salvation Army to increase dedicated beds.

The Committee agreed.

Debrief of Social Media Meet-Up at Lakewood Center
Staff, LASD and mall security were prepared and proactive in efforts to prevent a planned disturbance at Lakewood Center Mall on December 23, 2023 after learning of a social media post promoting the meet up. The deployment of personnel and resources to deter the disturbance were deemed successful.

There were no incidents to report.

Crime Trends and Statistics
Overall, Part 1 Crimes within the city are down. At Lakewood Mall, the number of crimes have decreased as well.

Abatement Deputy Update
Updates were provided on several locations. Outreach services were offered alongside Homeless Services Liaison.

Community Prosecutor Program Update
Updates were provided on various locations. Deputy District Attorney attended court matters for incidents in Lakewood.

Public Safety Department Update
Community Safety Officer recruitments progressed through the final stages. Holiday programs were well received by residents. Emergency Management meetings will continue with staff to maintain emergency readiness.

Public Outreach
Highlights of Southwest Patrol, the city’s Service Provider of the Year, will be shared with residents.

Homeless assistance success stories, Neighborhood Safety Enhancement Plan elements and traffic safety efforts will be publicized as well.

Follow-Up Items
Staff recommended to amend complaint on Zero Bail issues with surrounding cities. The Committee agreed to move forward.

TNT Fireworks requested to amend current ordinance to allow for an increase in the amount collected from organizations for rent. Currently, there is a cap of $1,000 that organizations pay for rent, with TNT absorbing the balance. Because rent for the various sites has increased significantly since the ordinance was adopted in the early 2000s, TNT pays more and more of those costs every year, which TNT saysis unsustainable. They would like to increase the cap to reflect more of a 50/50 split of the costs. The Committee was reluctant to approve a 50/50 split, but after a review of data and further discussion agreed to recommend to the full Council, increasing the cap to $1,750 and directed staff to develop a methodology that would spread the impacts of the increase equitably amongst all groups.

On January 17, the Capital Improvement Plan Committee met and discussed:

CIP Project Updates
Weingart Senior Center Improvements - Dahlin Group plans have been approved. The project has received $2,000,000 from Senator Lena Gonzalez and is expected to go out to bid once we receive the final earmark and community project funding from Congresswoman Nanette Barragan.

Palms Community Center Improvements-Dahlin Group submitted the construction set of drawings; staff has requested a proposal from consultant Ardurra for a constructability review, concurrently with staff review of the plans. This may result in more corrections before the final plan check.

Mayfair Water Capture Project-The water sampling required by Los Angeles County Public Health Department is expected to continue through April of 2024. Golden Meter is preparing a report to submit to Los Angeles County Sanitation District to satisfy the permit requirements.

City Hall Modular Office Improvements -The pending items include the receipt and installation of the new gates on the east and west sides of the trailer. Also, staff is working with SCE to upgrade the electrical service to the trailer.

The Centre Lighting; Ceiling, Carpet, and Painting Improvements - With the exception of final programming from Leviton, construction is substantially complete. In addition, staff intends to ask the contractor for a price to install lights and ceiling tile replacement for the council chambers.

City Hall and Centre Generator Modernization -The plans are being modified. Staff has requested to swap the generator to a Kohler generator. Staff intends to proceed with the replacement of the transfer switch in advance of the construction and the cost is estimated to be approximately $9,000, Willdan -Desiun Proposal for Street Improvements
Willdan Engineering has submitted a proposal to provide design services for street improvements in an amount of $1,268,535. Staff will determine priority based on available funding from Measures R, M, and SB-1, and phased scheduling of the construction improvements. The project will resurface streets that are in need of improvements since 2013 when the city completed a city-wide street resurfacing project. The city has sufficient funding in Measures R and M available for design of the pavement rehab on the street segments identified for the current project.

Letter of Intent with Southland Industries
On December 11, 2023, Southland Industries presented proposals for energy projects that could be conducted through the utilization of GC 4217 to the CIP Committee. Southland Industries proposed to complete the projects that have ahead}' been designed and slated for the electrical, HVAC, and roof infrastructure improvements as well as adding The Centre and City Hall. Their proposed scope of work includes addition of new facility controls and LED lighting improvements at the listed facilities. The city needs to provide Southland with a Letter of Intent to initiate the process and proceed with the Investment Grade Audit to determine the feasibility of entering into a negotiated contract with Southland utilizing GC 4217, for energy conservation, air quality improvements, and infrastructure upgrades at the facilities requiring improvements.

Update on City Hall Improvements
Water damage was discovered to the front lobby roof, walls and floors. Staff is still determining the best course of action, and costs for repairs are still being determined. In addition, $30,000 of project funding was required for asbestos abatement testing, specifications, and oversight from our on-call environmental consultant SCS Engineers.

City Council authorized work on the development of City Hall office improvements master plan per a proposal by on-call architect Dahlin Group to develop a conceptual and schematic design for the improvements. Staff has asked Dahlin for a proposal for “phase 3” of City Hall office improvements.

This would include creating construction documents suitable for negotiating a change order for the remainder of City Hall, inclusive of the Administration, Public Information, and RCS departments of City Hall. In addition, the proposal provides construction administration, such as responding to RFIs and submittal reviews. The total fee is not-to-exceed $63,500.

CIP Funding Sheet Overview
Presented was an overview of the financial aspects of the newr draft seven-year CIP Budget. The summary sheets address anticipated funding by source of funds, anticipated expenditures by source of funds, net annual fund balances and cumulative annual fund balances denoting the differences between funding and expenditures. The estimated Measure L expenditures by project and fiscal year are also included.

Comer Lot Development RFP
Staff is working with our consultant Ardurra on the development of an RFP for the design development on the dirt corner lot of the Civic Center. Within the RFP, staff will need to provide to the architectural/engineering firms a scope of work for the project. Based on preliminary concept drawings completed by City Architect, and meetings with city staff, a potential scope of work has been identified. Features include a stage, seating area, restrooms, storage facility, entry archways, landscape buffers and soundwalls, a main parking lot, a flex lot, and children’s activity area.

INTRODUCTION
On June 27, 2023, City Council awarded a construction contract to All Cities, Engineering, Inc. (ACE), in the amount of $4,350,000, to replace 11,000 feet of old 4-inch cast iron water main, installed in the 1950s, in the residential area bounded by Candlewood, Del Amo, Obispo and Downey. The project included the installation of new 8-in PVC water mains and appurtenances, to improve water-quality, serviceability, fire protection and water supply reliability to the area.

On October 24, 2023, City Council approved Change Order No. 1 to ACE, in the amount of $433,420 to install an additional 1,360 feet of 8” PVC pipe in Sandwood St., between Levelside Ave. and Downey Ave., and authorized staff to issue the corresponding change order to the Water Main Replacement Project FY24 contract.

On December 18, 2023, ACE completed this project, having installed approximately 12,400-feet of waterline, 23 fire hydrants and 340 service laterals within the project area.

STATEMENT OF FACT
Locations of the 12,400-feet of installed water mains are listed below:

COUNCIL AGENDA
February 13, 2024
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Water Main Easement Grant Deed, 3120-3180 Carson Street

INTRODUCTION
A developer, 2H PROPERTY 3060, LLC, is constructing a commercial building on a parcel located at 3120-3180 Carson Street. City staff required the Developer to relocate and construct a new waterline (which is on private property). Since the new water main is on private property, staff required the developer to provide the City a Water Main Easement Grant Deed, for future access and maintenance purposes.

STATEMENT OF FACT
2H PROPERTY 3060, LLC, isin the process of constructing a retail building, known as The Drive, located at 3120-3180 Carson Street, just East of the Walmart Supercenter. The new building will be located on top of the city’s existing 8-inch diameter waterline. Consequently, staff required the Developer to relocate the existing waterline and install a new waterline within the new shopping center. Because the new waterline is within private property, a Water Main Easement Grant Deed is required to allow City staff to access for future maintenance or replacement of appurtenances.

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the subject Water Main Easement Grant Deed.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Accept the attached Water Main Easement granted by 2H Property 3060 LLC as shown in Exhibits A & B.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign on behalf ofthe City, and direct the City Clerk to record with the County as approved by the City Attorney.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
February 13, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant Action Plan Fiscal Year 2023-2024, Substantial Amendment No. 1

INTRODUCTION
The City of Lakewood (“City”) is seeking a Substantial Amendment of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 Action Plan to shift funds dedicated to the Weingart Senior Center Project to a Curb Replacement Project. The City Council approved the Weingart Senior Center Improvement Project that was proposed in the FY 19-20 Annual Action Plan. Since then, the City has earmarked $1,071,253 of the City’s annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds for the Weingart Senior Center Project. The City has also secured grant funding from State Senator Lena Gonzalez and Congresswoman Nanette Barragan. The City received funding from Senator Gonzalez but Federal budgetary delays have delayed funds from Congresswoman Barragan. Federal funding is now expected in November 2024.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that grantees retain no more than 1.5 times their annual allocation at any time. Each year on May 2, HUD runs a timeliness test to determine compliance of this regulation. On May 2, 2023, the City’s ratio of unspent funds to the annual entitlement amount was 1.51 times the allocation, or just 0.01 over the maximum allowed. HUD met with City staff to discuss a strategy to expend some of the allocated funds to fall below the 1.5 ratio threshold prior to May 2, 2024, which is when HUD will conduct the next timeliness test.

While the City has earmarked $1,026,512 in CDBG funds for the project, per California Public Contract Code, the City cannot go out to bid for a project until all funding issecured. Because of this regulation, construction on the Weingart Senior Center Project cannot start in time to bring the City in to compliance with the 1.5 ratio, therefore the City is seeking approval to transfer $200,000 of the Weingart CDBG funds to a Curb Replacement Project in order to meet the May 2, 2024 deadline.

The Curb Replacement Project is located within Census Tract No. 5551.05 which is designated by HUD as Target Area because at least 51% of the population in that Tract is defined as low income. The existing curbs do not comply with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), in terms of slope and many lack detectable warning strips, therefore the curbs are in need of replacement.

If approved, the City will have enough time to complete the Curb Replacement Project by the May 2, 2024 deadline. The City anticipates receiving the federal grant in November of 2024, and additional CDBG funding which can be allocated to replace the transferred funds from this amendment, With funding in place, the Weingart Senior Center Improvements is expected begin in early 2025.

PUBLIC NOTICE
HUD has previously approved the City’s required Citizen Participation Plan. Pursuant to the Participation Plan, a notice of the public hearing and commencement of a 30-day comment period to obtain citizen input on the Action Plan Substantial Amendment was published in the Press Telegram, posted at Lakewood City Hall in the City Clerk’s office, and posted in two Lakewood public parks, Bloomfield Park and Mayfair Park on December 21, 2023.

The notice advertised that the FY 2023-2024 Action Plan, Substantial Amendment No. 1 would be considered by the Planning and Environment Commission during their January 4, 2024 meeting and at the City Council meeting on February 13, 2024. A copy of the Action Plan Substantial Amendment has been made available for public review on Thursday, January 4, 2024 through February 13, 2024 in the City Clerk’s office and Community Development Department at Lakewood City Hall and at the Angelo M. Iacoboni Library. All comments received will be reviewed and considered at the public hearing by the City Council on February 13, 2024.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed Action Plan Amendment and following the public hearing, approve the FY 2023-2024 Action Plan,-Substantial Amendment No. 1 and authorize the City Manager to direct staff to submit ft) HUOfhe approved Action Plan Amendment.

1. Introduction
The City of Lakewood (“City”) is seeking a Substantial Amendment of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 Action Plan to shift funds dedicated to the Weingart Senior Center Project to a Curb Replacement Project. The City Council approved the Weingart Senior Center Improvement Project that was proposed in the FY 19- 20 Annual Action Plan. Since then, the City has diligently earmarked approximately $1,071,000 of the City’s annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds for the Weingart Senior Center Project. The City has also secured funding with the State well as some other Federal funding.

Initially, these funds were to be available in November of 2023 but budget delays within the State and Federal governments has delayed the grants from coming to Lakewood. State funding is now expected in April of 2024 and Federal funding is now expected in November 2024.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that grantees retain no more than

1.5 times their annual allocation. HUD runs a timeliness test on May 2 of each year for each entitlement community to determine compliance. On May 2, 2023, the City’s ratio of unspent funds to entitlement amount was 1.51 times the allocation or just 0.01 over the maximum allowed. Because of this noncompliance, the City received a letter from HUD explaining that non-compliance could lead to a reduction of next year’s allocation to bring the City in to compliance. On May 2, 2024, HUD will conduct another timeliness test to verify compliance with the 1.5 ratio.

During FYs 21-22 and 22-23, the City spent a total of $340,512 on plans for the Weingart Senior Center.

The plans are now complete and ready to go out for bid. However, the City is subject to California Public Contract Code which stipulates that a government cannot go out to bid for a project until all funding is secured. Because of this regulation, construction on the Weingart Senior Center Project cannot start in time to bring the City in to compliance with the 1.5 ratio, therefore the City is seeking approval to reallocate $200,000 of CDBG funds to the Curb Replacement Project in order to bring the City in compliance with HUD’s regulations before the May 2, 2024 test.

The FY 2023-2024 Action Plan for the City satisfies the statutory HUD requirements for the CDBG Program.

The Action Plan is prepared as an annual implementing tool for the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan to establish current year priorities, resources and strategies. The City is an entitlement community for the CDBG Program. The CDBG Program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Pursuant to the Act, the primary objective of the CDBG Program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, promoting a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, primarily for low and moderate income persons.

To achieve these goals, CDBG activities must meet at least one of the three national objectives:
 Benefit low to moderate income persons.
 Aid in the prevention of slum and blight.
 Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency.

Annual Action Plan, Substantial Amendment No. 1 3
2023
OMB Control No. 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
CDBG activities implemented by the City are used to pursue the above-listed statutory goals for CDBG as detailed by the Community Development and Housing programs listed in the City’s FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. These activities are designed to improve Lakewood’s neighborhoods and increase its capacity to address the needs of low and moderate income households, including special needs groups, seniors, and persons with disabilities.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The City of Lakewood has prepared a strategy for addressing the housing and community development needs described in the Consolidated Plan during the fiscal years 2020-2024.

During FY 2023-2024, the City of Lakewood will assist the homeless through a contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department and partnerships with People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACOLA), and Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG). Lakewood will also assist homeless persons at the Burns Community Center by providing referrals to services, bus vouchers, and use of the phone. Using CDBG funds, the City will assist Su Casa Ending Domestic Violence, a non-profit organization providing a continuum of care program for victims of domestic violence. Su Casa provides emergency and temporary shelter to women and their children who would otherwise be homeless.

The City also uses CDBG funds to help support other various public service organizations including Human Services Association, a non-profit organization that provides congregate and home delivered meals to Lakewood’s elderly residents; Meals on Wheels which provides home delivered meals to Lakewood’s elderly residents; Community Family Guidance, an organization that provides counseling to emotionally disturbed children; and to Pathways Volunteer Hospice, an organization that provides care to terminally ill patients. Lakewood also contracts with a Fair Housing consultant to assist Lakewood’s residents in housing discrimination, complaints, and education.

The City is in preparation for a renovation of the Weingart Senior Center. Structural plans have been approved and construction is now expected to begin by winter 2024. The improvements include removing the existing barriers to the disabled, replacing the flooring, converting excess assembly space to offices for social service delivery, enclosing the billiards room, remodeling the lobby and installing a new HVAC system designed to eliminate viruses including Corona Virus.

Lakewood will continue its efforts to eliminate slum and blight throughout the City through the use code enforcement. Other means to eliminate slum and blight include providing loans and grants to low income residents to rehabilitate their homes.

Lastly, the City is proposing to replace existing curbs with ADA compliant curb ramps in CDBG Target Area Census Tract 5551.05.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied While the City does not leverage additional funds, the City partners with a private waste disposal company to offer an annual Neighborhood Clean-Up Program that is operated through the City’s Code Enforcement program. The program provides assistance to tenants and property owners in disposing of unsightly and unwanted debris in neighborhoods identified as needing assistance. Each year a total of six clean-up events are scheduled and each event has three 40-yard roll-off bins or more available to the residents in the vicinity of the bin. Neighborhood residents are notified of the event date and community volunteer assistance is provided. The private waste disposal company donates the bins for this yearly event saving the City $11,111.94 in rental fees.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
According to the five year 2011-2015 American Community Survey, the City has about 37% of its households earning low and moderate incomes. Additionally, according to a 2016 Survey conducted by Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), approximately 13% of Lakewood’s population consists of persons 65 years and older. Programs such as those offered by Human Services Association which provide congregate meals and delivered meals to low income seniors helps low income seniors stay in their homes.

Lakewood is also prioritizing completing improvements for the Weingart Senior Center. This center provides services to over 200 seniors monthly. Services include educational and social engagement programs, fitness programs, special events, passive recreational programs, case management referrals, food assistance programs such as the congregate meals provided by Human Services Association, tax assistance and volunteer opportunities. The biggest obstacle to addressing the underserved needs is lack of funding.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City’s housing programs are marketed and available throughout the City which assists in the reduction of concentration of low income persons. The program is not directed to any one geographical area but rather to extremely low to low income (0 to 80% of the County MFI) persons and households. The City wants to promote a balanced and integrated community and is committed to providing assistance throughout the City.

The only exception to this policy is that some activities (Code Enforcement, Public Facilities and Street Improvements) are limited to special CDBG Target Areas, which are known as area benefit activities. An area benefit activity is an activity that meets the identified needs of low income persons residing in an area where at least 51 percent of the residents (or less if the exception criteria are applicable) are low income persons. An area where at least 44.19 percent of the residents are low to moderate income persons is considered an area where the exception criteria are applied. The proposed curb replacement project will be conducted in Census Tract 5551.05 which is designated as a Target area. This Census Tract has at least 51% of the population below the low-moderate income level.

The benefits of the activity are available to everyone in that area despite their income. A map of these Target Areas is included in the Action Plan. The City has traditionally used 80 percent or more of its CDBG resources to benefit these special areas and/or to operate programs available exclusively to low and moderate income people (whereas HUD regulations only require a minimum 70 percent low and moderate benefit for CDBG activities). To continue to achieve this high ratio of low and moderate benefit for its CDBG resources, and because of the compelling need to assist these target areas, the City will continue to target CDBG resources to these special geographic areas. The allocation of funds is evenly distributed to the targeted Census Tracts.

The geographic areas of entitlement include 17 Block Groups within 10 Census Tracts where the majority of land is dedicated to residential uses and are populated with low-income families. There are a total of 5,712 parcels of land within those 17 Block Groups. Of those 5,712 parcels, 4,437 parcels are zoned SingleFamily Residential, 1,087 parcels are zoned Multiple-Family Residential, two parcels are located in the Mobile Home Park zone, and the remaining 186 parcels are zoned for open space, agricultural, commercial uses, and manufacturing uses.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Lakewood’s Housing and Community Development Strategy includes general priorities for allocating funds geographically in the City; the rationale for assigning the priority; the quantifiable objective to meet the priority; the funding sources used to meet the objective; and the activities approved to meet the objectives. To prevent the concentration of low-income persons, the majority of the City’s programs are provided throughout the City and marketed to all neighborhood areas. However, based on federal eligibility issues for low-income households, some areas of the City may experience greater CDBG investment than others.

HUD defines a community’s priority need levels as follows:
 High Priority: Activities to address this need will be funded by the City during the five-year period.
 Medium Priority: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded during the five-year period. Also, the City may take other actions to help this group locate other sources of funds.
 Low Priority: The City will not directly fund activities using funds to address this need during the five-year period, but other agencies’ applications for federal assistance might be supported and found to be consistent with this plan.
 No Such Need: The City finds there is no need or that this need is already substantially addressed. The City will not support other entities applications for federal assistance for Annual Action Plan, Substantial Amendment No. 1

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
Lakewood’s one-year goals for the number of households to be supported are quantified as those homeless assisted by Su Casa Ending Domestic Violence, Burns Center staff, LAHSA, the Department of the Los Angeles County Sheriff, and PATH, and the number of affordable housing units that are located in the City. There are three senior developments, a three-unit Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) development and two Redevelopment Agency properties each with one affordable unit for a total of five affordable units. The senior housing developments include Candlewood Apartments, an 81 one-bedroom unit development, Whispering Fountains, a 201 unit development and Seasons Senior Apartments, an 85 unit development. The special needs to be supported are quantified as Adult Residential Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, Group Homes, and Small Family Homes.

The City amended its zoning ordinance in 2018 to allow the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) on Single-Family Residentially (R-1) zoned properties as mandated by the State of California. In January of 2022, Senate Bill 9 (SB9) was mandated by the State of California to requiring cities to allow the construction of up to two units on a single lot. SB9 also mandates that cities allow single family lots to be split in two allowing for the construction of two units on each of the newly formed lots for up to four units replacing the one single-family dwelling unit. The City has not yet received an application to split a lot, however, the city has received several applications for a second unit in conjunction with an ADU and JADU.

During FY 21-22 the construction of 43 ADUs were approved by the City and completed. Currently, 39 ADUs have been and approved and completed during FY 22-23. It is anticipated that during FY 23-24, the construction of 75 ADUs will be approved by the City and construction completed.

The one-year goals for the number of households supported through Rental Assistance are quantified through Section 8 Rental Assistance which is operated by HACOLA. The number of households supported through the rehabilitation of existing units is derived from the number of loans and grants the City processes each year.

Discussion
As shown in Table 11, the City proposes to assist 98 homeless persons. This number is derived from the number of victims of domestic violence Su Casa Ending Domestic Violence proposes to house (40), the number of homeless persons (43) PATH proposes to assist in Lakewood during FY 23-24 plus the proposed number of homeless persons (15) to be assisted at Burns Community Center during FY 23-24.

Su Casa provides transitional housing for up to one year in an apartment complex, which facilitates residents’ ability to adapt to independent living and break the cycle of abuse. The City has provided funding for Su Casa operations in the past. The City has secured the transitional shelter with affordable housing covenants, which will run through December 2063.

The City anticipates the construction of 75 ADUs which contributes to the City’s low-income housing inventory. Lakewood has one Neighborhood Stabilization Property (NSP) and two Redevelopment Agency properties that are developed with a total of five units and are occupied by extremely low to moderateincome families.

There are three affordable senior housing developments located in the City offering a combined total of 367 affordable units. The City has secured a covenant on each development to maintain as affordable senior housing.

Although Lakewood does not directly provide affordable housing, the City is in the negotiation process of an affordable housing developer to develop 37 affordable for-sale townhomes on nine vacant properties remaining from the Housing Successor Agency.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City assists the homeless at the Burns Community Center and partners with PATH, Gateway Cities Council of Governments, HACOLA and LAHSA. The City also partners and provides CDBG funding to Su Casa Ending Domestic Violence.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of Lakewood contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. A sheriff’s deputy routinely performs outreach to persons experiencing homeless to connect the homeless to services.

Services are provided to people experiencing homelessness in Lakewood by LAHSA and PATH.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Su Casa Family Crisis and Support Center is a private non-profit organization that provides both short term emergency housing and transitional housing in two separate locations in the city. Su Casa’s 26 bed and emergency shelter serves 6-8 families at a time and meeting all their needs at no cost. Families receive individual and group counseling, case management, legal social advocacy, and life skills training.

At the second location, Su Casa provides a 24-bed transitional housing with five shared apartments, a children’s area, counseling offices, and an outside area that provide families with longer term housing (3- 12 months) and space for ongoing services. The maximum capacity at this facility is 24 persons and the residents are provided counseling, parenting classes, life skills training, case management, financial literacy training, household establishment assistance, budgeting and job search assistance. All clients in the shelter programs save 75% of their incomes, which provides the financial resources necessary to help obtain permanent housing in the future.

Admittance to the program is strictly on a referral basis. The City has secured the transitional shelter with affordable housing covenants, which run through December 2063.

The City will continue to coordinate efforts to provide information and resources for transitional housing through the Burns Community Center. It is anticipated that City staff will assist 15 individuals by providing information and referrals to appropriate social service agencies, provide emergency food (canned good and can openers), assistance for transportation on local bus services and use of the telephone for local calls when seeking assistance.

Annual Action Plan, Substantial Amendment No. 1

33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In February 2012, the City amended the Zoning Ordinance to permit emergency shelters by right in the M-2 zone. This is to comply with State law (SB2) requiring that a zone be identified to permit emergency shelters by right. This was also identified as a program in the certified Housing Element.

In January 2022, LAHSA released the Los Angeles Continuum of Care Housing Inventory Count. The Count shows that there are 14,402 emergency shelters within Los Angeles County offering 20,087 beds. There are 3,053 transitional housing units offering 4,144 transitional housing beds. SPA 7 offers 1,315 emergency shelters with 1,497 beds and 323 transitional housing units with 329 beds. The City will continue its work with community non-profit groups and community based organizations interested in providing transitional housing services to the homeless.

Another form of transitional housing in the City is Adult Residential Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, Group Homes and Small Family Homes and is described as follows:
 There are a total of 16 Adult Residential Facilities located in the City of Lakewood. The facilities provide 24 hour non-medical care to individuals who may be physically, mentally or developmentally disabled. Each home can house up to six adults aged 18-59.  There are a total of 10 Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly located in the City of Lakewood.

Each of these facilities house up to six persons aged 60 or older. These facilities were accepted as transitional housing by the State Department of Housing and Community Development during the FY 2013-2021 Housing Element update.
 There is one Small Family Home located in the City of Lakewood that provides 24-hour care for families with less than six children who are in need of assistance because of a physical, mental or developmental disability.

In addition to assisting in providing emergency shelter and transitional housing, the City will continue to provide support services such as job training and counseling. The County of Los Angeles also offers an array of work training programs, housing placement assistance, and other support resources.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. A sheriff’s deputy takes the lead in providing duplicated outreach to over 750 homeless persons annually in the City of Lakewood connecting them to PATH and LAHSA for services. Many homeless persons reject the services offered while many accept the support services provided.

Annual Action Plan, Substantial Amendment No. 1

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

The City will continue its work with community non-profit groups and community based organizations interested in assisting individuals and families avoid becoming homeless by providing rapid-rehousing, emergency shelter and transitional housing, the City will continue to provide support services such as job training and counseling. The County of Los Angeles also offers an array of work training programs, housing placement assistance, and other support resources.

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program was voluntarily transferred back to the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACOLA) as of July 1, 2011. Residents on the program’s waiting list who are seeking Section 8 Housing Assistance are still given priority over non-residents, even though affordable housing within the city limits is difficult to find. New potential participants who are not currently on the waiting list are referred to the HACOLA for further assistance.

The Assistance Directory at the Burns Community Center enables staff to assist the low-income individuals and families, especially extremely low-income individuals and families, who are likely to become homeless or who are receiving assistance from public or private agencies to address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

The City is committed to addressing the negative effects of public policies over which it has control. In order to promote integration and prevent low income concentrations, the City has designed its affordable housing programs to be available Citywide. This priority also serves to make sure that the City does not have any policies, rules, or regulations that would lead to minority or racial concentrations.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Since 1989, Lakewood has demonstrated a willingness to encourage housing development of all types. It has approved several zone changes to allow the construction of housing including General Commercial (C-4) to Multiple Family Residential (M-F-R) to allow for the building of a 201-unit senior citizen apartment complex in 1989, Light Manufacturing (M-1) to Planned Development Single Family (PDSF), to allow for the building of 184 single family residences in 1994, Open Space (O-S) to MFR, to allow for the building of a 85-unit senior citizen apartment complex in 1996, C-4 to MFR, to allow for the conversion a motel into apartments in 1999, Intermediate Commercial (C-3) to PDSF to all a 20 unit single-family residential project in 2003, C-4 to M-F-R in 2014 allowing an existing apartment complex to expand by adding 22 additional apartments, O-S to M-F-R to allow a three-unit condominium project in 2015, and Code amendments to allow for development of a variety of housing types, including those that benefit low and moderate income people. The City makes an effort to fast track projects and process permits in a timely manner. The City intends to maintain its current posture of openness and willingness to consider new ideas and eliminate any regulatory barriers under its control in the provision of a variety of housing to meet the needs of all income groups.

During 2018, the City amended its zoning ordinance to allow the construction of ADUs in Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoned properties, as mandated by State Law. The California Government Code provides that ADUs facilitate and expedite the construction of affordable housing; they provide housing for family members, students, the elderly, in-home health providers, the disabled, and others at below market prices within existing neighborhoods; they may add income and an increased sense of security to homeowners; they will provide additional rental housing stock; they offer lower cost housing to meet the needs of existing and future residents within existing neighborhoods, while respecting architectural character; and they are an essential component of California's housing supply. The ordinance is consistent with current state law and establishes local control of the regulations related to ADUs.

During the next year, the City will continue to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints to develop or encourage public policies that foster affordable housing development and assistance.

Introduction:

The City continues to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, to foster and maintain affordable housing, to reduce lead-based paint hazards, to reduce the number of poverty-level families, to develop institutional structure, enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. These efforts are discussed in more detail below.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Like most communities, a major obstacle to meeting the needs of the community is funding. Over the years, community partnerships with county, state, and federal agencies have been integral to meeting the needs of the underserved community. During the FY 2023-2024 program year, the City intends to aggressively continue these relationships as well as foster new ones to ensure that the needs of the community are adequately fulfilled.

The City promotes its housing and community service programs in the areas with the highest concentration of low and moderate income households to address the continuing needs of the underserved population. The City will use the Chamber of Commerce, local newspaper, City newsletter, and community events to promote these services. The City will continue to provide the services listed below for low and moderate income Renter Households and Owner-occupied Households.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing As articulated in the Consolidated Plan, the City will implement Coordination with Los Angeles County Housing Authority and will collaborate with the Los Angeles County Community Development Department for the following actions to foster and maintain affordable housing:

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families A fundamental way to reduce poverty is through job creation and enhancement. There are a number of local, state and Federal programs that focus on job creation and retention. The most notable is the State of California’s welfare reform plan, known as CalWORKS. CalWORKS is designed to move welfare recipients from dependency to self-sufficiency through employment and to divert potential recipients from dependency. Job related education and training are provided through the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Social Services.

The County’s Department of Public Social Services also administers various programs that provide cash aid and other benefits and services to individuals and families in need. These programs are designed to alleviate hardship and promote family health, personal responsibility, and economic independence.

According to the County, the majority of persons who seek these programs are primarily in need of medical assistance and in-home support services.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutions involved in carrying out the aforesaid Priority actions include the Lakewood Community Development Department, the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles, and private sector owners of rental property. The City, for its part, will promote and encourage fair housing, housing assistance and single-family home rehabilitation through:
 Continued utilization of the services of a Fair Housing Contractor or organization to promote, educate and enforce fair housing in the community.
 Continued use of the Los Angeles County Housing Authority to refer residents who are interested in receiving affordable housing assistance.
 Continued use of CDBG funds to assist low income homeowners in rehabilitating their homes and in eliminating substandard conditions. The City will continue to encourage the Single Family Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program by advertising in local publications to attract qualified applicants.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City’s housing programs, which will be administered over the next year, are limited by resources to housing rehabilitation and rental assistance referral (Section 8). These two programs do not require a lot of coordination efforts.

The Single Family Residential Rehabilitation Loan and Fix-Up Paint-Up Grant Program are funded with Housing Successor Agency Loan Payback funds. The Section 8 Existing Housing Program is federally funded and is administered entirely by Housing Authority of County of Los Angeles. City staff continues to refer residents who are interested in affordable housing to contact HACOLA. No other special coordination efforts will be required during the next Federal Fiscal Year to administer these programs.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN

CITY OF LAKEWOOD

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
(For all Federally Funded Grant Programs)
A. INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Section 104(a)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, the City adopted this Citizen Participation Plan in July 1978 (revised October 1981, June 1988, June 1995, May 2001, May 2005, and April 2020.) By doing so, the City acknowledges the integral role of citizen participation in the process of planning and development and the execution of the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and all other Federally funded grant programs.

The plan outlines basic tenets of the citizen participation process and regulations. The citizen participation regulations remain in effect throughout the implementation of the City’s entitlement award from the federal government, or until the funds are completely exhausted.

The Lakewood’s Citizen Participation Plan is composed of the following parts:

A. Lakewood Citizen Participation Plan (Purpose)
B. Definitions
C. Role of Citizens
D. Guidelines for Citizen Participation

1. Consolidated Plan and Action Plan

2. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)

3. Public Hearings

4. Information Access

5. Non-English Speaking Residents

6. Persons with Disabilities

7. Program Amendments

8. Technical Assistance
E. Citizen Service Requests and Grievance Procedure
B. LAKEWOOD CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
The Citizen Participation Plan is designed to facilitate two-way communication between the City and its residents on matters pertaining to the use of all Federal Grant funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under this plan, citizens are encouraged to participate in application development, program implementation, assessment of performance, submission of views and proposals, consideration of objections to applications, complaints, technical assistance, public hearings, bilingual dissemination, when appropriate, and program amendments. The Lakewood Citizen Participation Plan:
 Provides greater visibility of the City of Lakewood Community Development Department’s improvement programs;
 Encourages citizen involvement in neighborhood improvement activities;  Ensures equitable representation of all segments of the population; and  Describes the process to enlist citizen participation in the development of the City’s Five-year Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan, the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), and any Substantial Amendments to the Consolidated Plan or Action Plan.

DEFINITIONS
Five-Year Consolidated Plan: This document is submitted to HUD every five years and serves as the 5-year planning document of the City and application for funding for CDBG, HOME, and other federally funded programs. The Consolidated Plan consists of the following primary components: a needs assessment and an analysis which identifies priorities and a strategy which establishes goals and objectives for addressing priority needs and time frames for achievements.

One-Year Action Plan: This document is submitted to HUD every year and updates the Consolidated Plan and allocates one year’s CDBG funding, including any program income generated from CDBG. The Action Plan is developed to identify the actions that will be taken and projects that will be funded to meet the strategy’s goals and objectives.

Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER): This document reports on the progress made in carrying out the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan.

Public Hearing: A public hearing is a public meeting that has been publicly noticed in a local newspaper of general circulation, or noticed in a fashion which otherwise follows local procedures for formal noticing of public hearings. Public hearings are required prior to the adoption of the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, and Substantial Amendments to either plan.

Urgency Needs: A Federal, State or Local declared Emergency or Crisis.

C. ROLE OF CITIZENS
Citizen involvement is vital to assure that neighborhood improvement policies, procedures, programs and activities are well suited to local needs. Individual neighborhoods possess unique qualities that are more fully understood at the community level among those who reside, own property, or work within these areas. This knowledge is invaluable to the successful revitalization of communities.

Residents’ concerns and ideas may be articulated to the City’s Planning and Environment Commission (PEC). The PEC is an advisory body to the City Council regarding community development improvement issues. The PEC addresses itself to the development, review, and adoption of the following ideas:
 The City’s Consolidated Plan and Action Plan (includes all Federal Grant Applications);  The submission of the City’s Performance Report (CAPER);  Community development strategies, programs, policies, and procedures;  The Citizen Participation Plan
Regular meetings of the PEC are conducted on a monthly basis, and special meetings may also be held during any month at the order the Commission Chairperson, should the need arise. A current schedule of PEC meetings can be obtained from the City Clerk’s office located at City Hall, 5050 North Clark Avenue, Lakewood, California 90712, or by calling (562) 866-9771.

All meetings take place in the Council Chambers at the Civic Center, 5000 Clark Avenue, Lakewood, California 90712 unless another location is publicized in advance. In the event of Urgency Needs, specific procedural changes such as conducting virtual meetings or via tele/video conferencing may be implemented. The agenda for each PEC meeting is posted at the Council Chambers and on the City’s website at www.lakewoodcity.org at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. Public hearing notices for PEC meetings are posted at the following locations at least 72 hours prior to any hearing:

Lakewood City Hall
City Clerk’s Office
5050 Clark Avenue
Lakewood, CA 90712
Bloomfield Park
21420 Pioneer Blvd.

Lakewood, CA 90715
Mayfair Park
5720 N. Clark Avenue
Lakewood, CA 90712
D. GUIDELINES FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The Citizen Participation Plan process provides residents of the City the formal opportunity to take part in the development of community development programs and amendments to adopted plans, at the community wide-level in a public forum, before the PEC. The specific guidelines governing information access, public notices, and technical assistance, among others, that the City will follow to encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan and submission of the Performance Report are listed below:

Consolidated Plan and Action Plan:

Following the preparation of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan, the following steps will be taken to afford the public an adequate opportunity to review and comment on the document:

1. Summary describing the contents of the purpose of the proposed Consolidated Plan/Action Plan will be public in at least one local City newspaper of general circulation.

The summary will also include a list of locations where a complete draft of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan can be obtained.

2. The publication of the summary will commence a 30-day public review period during which citizens will have the opportunity to examine the proposed Consolidated Plan/Action Plan and submit comments regarding the draft document. Complete copies of the draft Consolidated Plan/Action Plan will be available for review at the City’s website at www.lakewoodcity.org and at the following locations:

Lakewood City Hall
Community Development Department
5050 Clark Avenue
Lakewood, CA 90712
Lakewood City Hall
City Clerk’s Office
5050 Clark Avenue
Lakewood, CA 90712
Iacoboni Library
4990 N. Clark Avenue
Lakewood, CA 90712

3. A public hearing before the PEC will be held to further provide citizens an opportunity to comment on the draft Consolidated Plan/Action Plan. All guidelines set forth under the Public Hearing section of this document will be followed to ensure and encourage citizen participation.

Consolidated Plan Amendments
The City shall complete a substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan when a Priority Need is added or removed from the Consolidated Plan.

Action Plan Amendments
The City shall follow the following procedure to complete substantial and minor amendments to the Action Plan, as needed.

The City shall substantially amend the Action Plan if a substantial change is proposed by City staff or the City Council. For the purpose of the Action Plan, a "substantial change" is defined as:
▪ Addition of a new activity not previously identified in the Action Plan, without regard to funding source;
▪ Cancellation of an existing activity identified in the Action Plan, without regard to funding source;
▪ A change in the purpose, scope, location or beneficiaries of an activity; or ▪ Changes in the use of CDBG funds from one eligible activity to another eligible activity meeting the following thresholds:

Net Increase or Decrease Trigger of Substantial
Amendment*
Minor Amendment*
Net Increase > 30% of the most recent
grant allocation
<30% of the most recent grant
allocation
Net Decrease > 30% of the most recent
grant allocation
<30% of the most recent grant
allocation
* (Amended amounts will not be cumulative, that is, each amendment will stand on its own for purposes of determining the 30 percent threshold.)
The City may make minor changes to the Action Plan, including any changes not included in the definition of a “substantial change” above, as needed, so long as the changes do not constitute a substantial amendment as described above. Such minor changes to the Action Plan do not require a public review and comment period or a public hearing. However, City Council approval of activity funding changes may be required based on the amount and City policy.

Urgency Needs:

Upon the Declaration of a Federal, State, or Local Emergency, the public participation process may be modified as determined by the HUD.

Performance Report
Upon completion of the Performance Report, and prior to its submission to HUD, a public notice will be published in at least one local newspaper servicing the residents of Lakewood announcing the availability of the report for review and comment. Publication of this notice will commence a 15-day period during which citizens will have the opportunity to examine the Performance Report and submit comments regarding the document.

Analysis of Impediments or Assessment of Fair Housing (AI or AFH) The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) or Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) is a five-year plan completed by the City individually or as part of a local consortium of other HUD grantees pursuant to HUD guidance for the evaluation of local housing conditions, economics, policies and practices and the extent to which these factors impact the range of housing choices and opportunities available to all residents in an environment free from discrimination. As of April 2019, HUD has suspended the AFH planning framework. HUD currently requires the submission of an AI for grantees submitting Consolidated Plans for FY 2020-2024. If HUD renews the AFH planning framework, the AFH will replace the AI in the context and implementation of this section.

Public Hearings:

Public hearings shall provide the major source of citizen input on the proposed community development program, activities, policies, and procedures. At a minimum, the City will conduct two separate public hearings—one for the purpose of reviewing the draft Consolidated Plan and the second for the purpose of reviewing program performance and progress through the submission of the Performance Report. All public hearings will be made accessible to persons with disabilities upon request.

To ensure that all City residents have ample opportunity to take notice of all scheduled public hearings, all notices regarding such hearings, including the date, time, and location shall be published in at least one local City newspaper of general circulation a minimum of 14 days prior to the date of the public hearing.

Information Access
Included in the Consolidated Plan will be the estimated amount of federal funding available to the City, and the range of eligible activities, programs, and projects designed to utilize these available funds. Copies of the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, Citizen Participation Plan, CAPER, and documents regarding other important program requirements, including contracting procedures, environmental policies, fair housing/equal opportunity requirements, and relocation provisions will be available to the public at the City’s website at www.lakewoodcity.org and during the regular business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday and alternative Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. City Hall is closed every other Friday.

The City’s Community Development Department is located at 5050 N. Clark Avenue, Lakewood, CA 90712. Additional information and assistance may be obtained by calling 562-866-9771.

Non-English Speaking Residents
It is the intent of the City to also allow for input by all non-English speaking persons, as well as English speaking residents, in the public hearing process. The City will provide bilingual assistance whenever it has been determined necessary to adequately allow persons to express their views regarding the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of community development improvement activities. All advertisement for public hearing will note that arrangements for an interpreter can be made by contacting the City’s Community Development Department.

E. CITIZEN SERVICES REQUESTS AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Citizens should be aware that any questions or grievances, regarding any facet of City operations, can be submitted to the Community Development Department located at 5050 N.

Clark Ave., Lakewood, CA 90712. During the development of the Consolidated Plan submission, written concerns or complaints regarding the Plan shall initiate a written response indicating assessment of the complaint and/or proposals and actions taken to address the complaints and/or proposals before the final submission of the Consolidated Plan to HUD. The City shall ensure that reasonable attempts are made to respond to questions or complaints in a timely manner, usually within 15 working days after receipt of the inquiry. If the content of the complaint is based on a probable misunderstanding (i.e., scope of block grant activities), the response communication will so state and give the complaining party the opportunity of alternative forms of redress.

Although HUD will consider objections submitted at any time, such objections should be submitted within 30 days of the submission of the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, or CAPER to HUD. Any written inquiries submitted to HUD should be addressed as follows:

US DEPT. OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Los Angeles Area Office
Community Planning and Development Division
300 North Los Angeles Street, Suite 4045
Los Angeles, CA 90012

▪ The description of the needs and objectives are plainly inconsistent with available facts and data.
▪ The activities to be undertaken are plainly inappropriate to meeting the needs and objectives defined by jurisdiction.
▪ The submission does not comply with specific requirements or law. ▪ The submission proposed the undertaking of ineligible activities.

RESIDENTIAL ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND

RELOCATION PLAN
RESIDENTIAL ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN – CITY OF LAKEWOOD FISCAL YEAR 2016-2017
I. INTRODUCTION
Section 509 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 amended Section 104 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 by adding a new subsection.

The new Section 104(d) of the Act became effective October 1, 1988, and provides that a grant under Section 106, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Programs may be made only if the grantee certifies that it is following a residential anti-displacement and relocation assistance plan. The residential anti-displacement and relocation assistance plan under Section 104(d) must contain two components: (1) A requirement to replace all low and moderate income dwelling units that are demolished or converted to a use other than low and moderate income housing as a direct result of the use of CDBG assistance and, (2) a relocation assistance component.

A certification and plan is required even if the grant will not result in demolition or in the conversion of a low and moderate income unit to use other than low and moderate income housing.

The document serves as the residential anti-displacement and relocation assistance plan for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. In implementation of the relocation activities related to this plan, Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisitions Policies Act of 1970 as amended will be followed. The following details the City of Lakewood’s Plan.

II. RESIDENTIAL ANTI DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN UNDER SECTION 104 (d) OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED.

A. The City of Lakewood will replace all occupied and vacant unoccupied low and moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low and moderate income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as described in 24 CFR, 570.606 (b)(1).

B. All replacement housing will be provided within three (3) years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion.

Before obligating or expending funding that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the City of Lakewood will make public and submit to the HUD Field Office the following information in writing.

1. A description of the proposed assisted activity;

2. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than low and moderate income dwelling units as a result of the assisted activity;

3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion;

4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units;

5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units, and

6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low and moderate income dwelling unit for at least ten (10) years from the date of initial occupancy.

C. The City of Lakewood will provide relocation assistance, as described in 24 CFR 570.606 (b)(2), to each low and moderate income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low and moderate income dwelling unit to another use as a direct result to assisted activities.

D. Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the City of Lakewood will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:

One for One replacement units – all occupied and vacant low and moderate income dwelling units (units that could be occupied) that are demolished or converted to a use other than low and moderate income dwelling units as a direct result of CDBG activities will be replaced by the City by private developers with low and moderate income dwelling units.

The replacement of low and moderate income dwelling units may include public housing or existing housing receiving Section 8 project-based assistance.

The replacement of low and moderate income dwelling units will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation related to the conversion and will meet the following requirements; a. The unit will be located within the City’s jurisdiction. b. The units will be sufficient in number and size to house the number of occupants that could have been housed in the units that are demolished or converted. The number of occupants that may be housed shall be determined in accordance with local housing occupancy codes. c. The units will be provided in standard condition and may include units which have been raised from substandard to standard.

III. RELOCATION ADVISORY ASSISTANCE
A. The City will administer its relocation program, including providing relocation assistance and the preparation of claims for processing by the Community Development Department, City of Lakewood.

B. The Relocation Program will provide maximum assistance to minimize the hardship of displacement to all persons displaced from their dwellings and to displaced businesses to assure their re-establishment with a minimum of delay.

C. Personal and continuing contact will be maintained with those to be displaced until they are satisfactorily relocated, and where hardship is evident, a follow-up call will be made to ease the transition of the move.

1. The following specific services will be provided;
a. Each person or business required to move will be personally interviewed, and a detailed and clear explanation of benefits will be made. The interview will be conducted in the language most easily understood by the displaced person.
b. The U.S. Department of Housing Development informational brochures will be delivered to residential and commercial owners and tenants in a timely manner.
c. A member of the staff will continuously make field surveys to locate housing resources and business vacancies for referrals. Referrals will be made to standard housing comparable to the occupied housing and in close proximity to employment, medical, shopping, transportation and eating facilities. Additionally, real estate brokers will be informed of the displacement, and their cooperation will be solicited in making referrals.

Referrals to commercial sites will be made relative to commercial operators’ needs in location, square footage requirements, trade area, and other business location criteria. Inspection of housing resources will be undertaken prior to referral and after the move of the displaced person.
d. If transportation is needed to field check referrals, the staff member or consultant will provide such transportation.
e. Assistance will be given by explaining procedures to purchase a home, including the purpose of and charges made through escrow. f. If social service agencies in the community could provide a needed service, referrals will be made and follow-up programs will be instituted.

g. Where necessary, efforts will be made to trace self-relocatees. h. Assistance will be given in filing relocation claims, and these claims will be submitted to the Community Development Department, City of Lakewood.
i. Delivery of benefit check will be made promptly and follow-up claims will be made.

IV. RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
Each low and moderate income household that is displaced as a direct result of CDBG assisted activities shall be provided with relocation assistance. The low and moderate income household may elect to receive assistance described in 24 CFR Part 49 (HUD’s regulations implementing the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970) or assistance as described under Section 104 (d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended by Section 509 of the 1987 HCD Act provisions.

Displaced low and moderate income households will receive relocation assistance provided to displaced persons required under 24 CFR 49, Subpart C (General Relocation Requirements) and Subpart D (Payment for Moving and Related Expenses) whether the households receive assistance under the CFR or Section 104 (d) of the Act. Briefly, those benefits are as follows:

Residential Benefits:

1. Actual moving and related expenses, as the Agency determines to be reasonable and necessary, including expenses outlined in 49 CFR 24.301.

2. Fixed payment for moving expenses as described in 49 CFR 24.302.

Non Residential Benefits:

1. Payment for actual reasonable moving and related expenses as described in 49 CFR

24.303.

2. Reestablishment expense as described in 49 CFR 24.304.

3. Ineligible moving and related expenses as described in 49 CFR 24.304 (b) and 49 CFR

24.305 will not be provided.

4. Fixed payments for moving expenses as described in 49 CFR.306.

V. COST ESTIMATE OF RELOCATION BENEFITS
Since no relocation activity is contemplated, it is not possible to provide a cost estimate of relocating payment at this time. However, should it become necessary to make relocation payments, these payments will be funded with CDBG funds.

VI. PLAN FOR DISBURSEMENTS OF RELOCATION BENEFITS
The disbursement of relocation benefits will be made in an orderly and readily available manner.

All claims for relocation payments must be submitted within 18 months after the displacement of the claimant. Relocation claim forms will be prepared by the relocation staff; the forms will be explained in detail to the claimant. Once the signature of the displacee has been obtained, the prepared forms, accompanied by a memorandum explaining the particular need, etc., of the claimant will be promptly delivered to the Community Development Department, City of Lakewood, for review, approval and preparation of warrants. Upon verification of vacating the acquired property, the relocation benefits will be delivered.

Advanced payments will be processed when it is evident that there is a hardship. These payments will be delivered in a timely way to assure ease in securing relocated housing commitments.

A claim must be supported by the necessary documentation which may include itemized receipted moving bills, income tax returns, opening/closing escrow statements, verification of rental data and any other information deemed appropriate and necessary to support the claim.

Payments will be processed in All claim papers and related evidence will become permanent records of the Community Development Department, City of Lakewood, as part of the individual files maintained for each displaced person or business.

If a business does not file a claim for any of the above benefits, it may file for In-Lieu of Moving and Related Expenses Payment. No payment of this kind shall be made unless the Community Development Department, City of Lakewood, is satisfied that the business cannot be relocated without substantial loss of patronage and is not part of a commercial enterprise having at least one other establishment not being acquired, which is engaged in the same or similar business.

This payment represents the average annual net income for the two years prior to displacement, except that the payment may not be less than $1,000 or more than $20,000 (49 FR 24.306 {a}).

Payments will be processed in a timely manner to minimize hardship.

VII. LAST RESORT HOUSING
Last resort housing is not contemplated as it has been determined comparable replacement housing will be available for project residents within a reasonable period prior to displacement.

However, if it is necessary, procedures as referenced in the Uniform Act will be followed.

COUNCIL AGENDA
February 13, 2024
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Midyear Budget Review and Adjustments and Presentation of the FY 2024-26 Two-Year Budget Preparation Calendar

INTRODUCTION
The City is currently in the second year of the FY 2022-24 Two-Year Budget adopted in June 2023. With approximately seven months of FY 2023-24 data available, it is appropriate to review current budget estimates and revise where needed. Despite volatility and levels of uncertainty regarding the state of the economy, the City is faring well and expects to continue on this path.

Revenues have trended favorably and anticipated expenditures have been largely in-line with forecasted amounts, The City is positioned to continue providing services and funding infrastructure improvements without foreseeable difficulties.

The focus of this report is on the City's operations and the two major funds, the General Fund and the Water Utility Enterprise Fund. Subsequently, however, there are several recommended adjustments to a few Special Revenue Fund accounts.

STATEMENT OF FACT
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s largest fund and one which the Council has discretionary authority.

The Council approved the City’s budget last summer and has since adopted various adjustments to General Fund expenditures. As a result, the currently adopted budget projects a surplus of $1,562,600 where revenues would be greater than expenditures by this amount at the end the year.

After taking into account year-to-date information, fiscal trends, and organizational needs, a newly calculated revised budget projection is expected to result in a surplus of $1,698,053, or $135,453 more than anticipated in the Adopted Budget. The table below summarizes the Adopted and Revised Budget snapshots:

General Fund - Revenues
As a whole, General Fund revenues are expected to total $78,654,770 for the year, or $564,692 more than previously budgeted. Within the increase there are a number of contributing items that are worth highlighting, The following table provides an overall view of General Fund revenues, with further noteworthy details below:

TOTAL REVENUE $ 78,090,078 $ 78,654,770 $ 564,692
• Sales and Use Tax: Bradley Bums and Measure L-Combined for a projected decrease of $578,111 or 1.8%. Overall, the City’s major industry sectors(i.e., general consumer goods and building & construction) have remained strong through a fairly mixed economic environment. Yet, the City is not immune to broader economic factors. In addition to anticipated lower fuel prices, higher interest rates adversely impacted local auto sales and building/construction sales particularly early in the fiscal year. Despite some headwinds, most economists forecast modest growth in the foreseeable future with no economic contraction.
• Use of Money & Property - $1,041,072 increase. The majority of this amount is due to an anticipated increase in investment earnings($500,000) and similarly a decrease ($500,000) in projected unrealized investment losses as interest rates have risen sharply. • Utility User’s Tax - $378,000 increase. This adjustment is largely the result of higher electricity and natural gas costs over the course of the year. This phenomenon positively affects City revenues, however, it is offset on the expenditure side as the City is also a consumer.

• Current Service Charge - $236,269 decrease. This category includes a wide range of revenue items with sizable increases and decreases. The City exchanged more Proposition A Funds in the year than anticipated, generating an extra $700,000 in General Fund proceeds. Additionally, the state provided $158,000 in state mandated cost reimbursements that are issued sporadically and not included in the original budget. In contrast, annual building plan check fees are expected to decrease by $250,000 as a result of overall slower building and construction activity. Likewise, anticipated contributions of $419,000 from neighboring cities choosing to participate in the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Departments’ (LASD) Mental Health Evaluation Team (MET) will not be realized as the program will not materialize this year. Lastly, revenue generated by the sale of feed/hay at the Lakewood Equestrian Center (LEC) is expected to be significantly lower than anticipated as fewer boarders are purchasing feed. For practical purposes these revenues were combined with monthly boarding fees reflected in the Use of Money & Property category. Combined, this presents a decrease of $460,800 in Current Service Charge with a somewhat commensurate decrease in anticipated expenditures for LEC feed/hay.

General Fund - Expenditures
Operational expenditures are largely trending as expected and in alignment with the adopted budget. Thatsaid, it is anticipated that they will increase by $429,239 or about 0.6%, with greater adjustments stemming from changes in Employee Services, Contractual Services, and Capital Outlay categories. Following is a table summarizing those changes, with further specifics for the more substantive change below the table:

On a Citywide basis, this category includes various items that offset each other. An additional $105,000 are needed in employee overtime to support after-hour emergency call-outs and construction activities at City facilities. $37,000 have been added to fund part-time employee sick leave pay as a result of a new State law increasing the number of hours employers must provide. The increased amounts Fiscal Year 2023-24 Midyear-Budget Review and Adjustments February 13, 2024

are partially offset by savings realized during the required closure of Mayfair Pool last summer.
• Contract Services- $225,720 increase. This amount includes $248,000 in additional Public Works traffic/survey engineering services, street light relamping, and HVAC repairs. $50,000 are included for the development of an economic development plan for the City.

Additionally, there is an increase of $71,725 for contractual preschool and youth classes in order to accommodate higher demand. These increases are partially offset by decreases totaling $111,500 in the Building & Safety Division where plan check activity has slowed and various Los Angeles County contract positions have not been filled. Lastly, it is worth noting that while the LASD MET will not be in place, existing expenditure allocations to fund the program are being maintained and intended to fund additional programs and projects that will be presented to the Public Safety Committee and subsequently the City Council for approval.
• Special Department Supplies - $193,230 decrease. As indicated in the revenue section, LEC feed/hay expenditures are also anticipated to decrease ($350,110) as a large number of boarders provide their own feed. This is offset by a $50,775 increase in the amount budgeted for LEC horse stall shavings as well as additional Public Works and Recreation and Community Services (RCS) supplies.
• Capital Outlay - $305,100 increase. The primary item is the purchase of replacement computers for all 200 PC workstations at City facilities ($255,100). Current PCs are approaching the end of their useful life, with some already failing. The replacement would be made in conjunction with an upgrade in system software for all PCs.

Water Utility Enterprise Fund
The Water Utility Enterprise Fund is the City’s second largest fund. It accounts for the full operation of the City’srobust water system.

The adopted budget anticipated a deficit of $21,203. After taking into account year-to-date information and fiscal trends, a new budget projection results in a revised deficit amount of $563,253 or an increase to the deficit by $542,050.

Water Fund - Revenues
Overall, water revenues are anticipated to be $14,581,500 or $534,000 less than originally budgeted. As the City has experienced historically, water meter sales (the largest revenue source) are highly sensitive to weather patterns and may vary significantly.

• Employee Services - $12,000 increase. Additional employee overtime is necessary to support overnight flushing operations and after-hour customer service calls.

Special Revenue Funds
There is a need to modify several allocations that are designated for specific projects as allowed by the restricted funding source. Following is brief description for each:
• County Measure W Local Fund - Increase revenue by $1,098,616. This is to formally allocate available funds for the Local Safe Clean Water Program. • County Proposition A and State’s Natural Resources Agency Grant- Combined revenue increase of $80,478. Thisisto recognize revenue reimbursements from the previous fiscal year.
• County Proposition A Local Return Incentive Fund - Increase revenue by $51,991 and appropriations by $1,000,000. Formally allocate available funds for the Incentive Fund and to increase the Prop A exchange with the City of West Hollywood by an additional $1,000,000.
• County Proposition C Local Return - Increase appropriation by $8,900 due to the increase in sick leave usage by part-time employees.
• Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) for Non-Profit Organizations - Decrease revenue by $2,314. CDBG program requirements cap the amount of funds that can be allocated to groups under the Public Services category based on a percentage of CDBG monies available. While historically this has not been an issue, lower revenues this year limited the funds that could be allocated. As a result, the groups were made whole with General Fund monies.
• State Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) and Los Angeles County Measure R Funds - Increase each fund appropriations by $180,000 to cover additional cost for hardscape repair.
• State SB1383 Grant - Increase appropriation by $114,000. Formally allocate available funds for the efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste generated by residents/businesses.

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPAt Funds-Internal Exchange This year’s midyear budget review includes an additional component as staff proposes addressing funds previously received through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

The ARPA was signed into law by the federal government in March 2021, providing funds for state and local governments to build an equitable economic recovery from the devastating effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the City of Lakewood received a one-time allocation of $11.3 million. Subsequently, the City Council appropriated the majority of the funds into several operating programs and capital improvement projects with varying expenditure Fiscal Year 2023-24 Midyear-Budget Review and Adjustments February 13, 2024

Page 7 ends

timeframes. Since then, the City has spent $2,776,531 of the $11.3 million through December 31, 2023, with about $8,5 million remaining. ARPA guidelines specify that all funds must be committed for specific uses by December 31, 2024 and fully spent by December 31, 2026, After discussion at the staff level, it is proposed that the City internally exchange all remaining ARPA funds with City General Fund monies (on a dollar for dollar basis) to more effectively and efficiently pursue the programs and projects adopted by the City Council. The structure of the exchange would call for ARPA funds to be spent on basic governmental services (i.e., public safety, maintenance, etc.) usually funded by the General Fund. In return, the “savings” realized by the General Fund would be used to fund the ARPA programs and projects previously adopted by theCity Council. Given that ARPA guidelines recognize the City’s $11,3 million allocation aslost revenue due to the pandemic, the City is not restricted and able to spend it on broader basic governmental services.

The exchange would allow for ARPA funds to be fully spent in an expedited manner while providing for more time to complete the programs and projects. Additionally, it would allow for capital projects to proceed without having to follow more onerous and costly federal requirements.

Review: FY 2024-26 Two-Year Budget Preparation Calendar As planning begins for the review of the City’s FY 2024-26 Two-Year Budget, staff has prepared a calendar of milestone dates culminating with the Council’sreview and scheduled adoption of the revised budget on June 11, 2024. Attached is a draft calendar.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt the noted changes for inclusion into the City’s FY 2023-24 Revised Budget and direct staff to make all related adjustments to the City’s budget appropriations. 2) Receive and file the FY 2024-26 Two-Year Budget Preparation Calendar and provide direction to staff regarding the preparation of the upcoming budget.

COUNCIL AGENDA
February 13, 2024
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Meals on Wheels of Long Beach Update

INTRODUCTION
Since February 6, 2023, Meals on Wheels of Long Beach has delivered nutritious mealsto disabled and elderly homebound residents in Lakewood. This report will provide an update on Meals on Wheels of Long Beach and the services they provide to Lakewood clients.

STATEMENT OF FACT
Meals on Wheels of Long Beach (MOWLB) continues to serve Lakewood clients enrolled in the program, utilizing one office and a kitchen/storage space at the Bums Community Center. Meals on Wheels of Long Beach has obtained 56 new clients since taking over last year. Clientsstart and stop service on an as needed basis. With this in mind, the program is currently serving 38 Lakewood clients.

MOWLB charges clients $10,50 a day for a hot dinner, cold lunch, dessert and beverage. The organization is currently utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to subsidize all Lakewood clients, only charging them $9.75 per day. They are also fully subsidizing five Lakewood clients, covering the full cost of the meal.

Donations from Lakewood fundraisers also continue to benefit Lakewood clients. Donations are utilized to reduce or fully pay for the meal price for low-income clients, pay volunteers mileage, and cover direct costs associated with serving Lakewood clients not covered by CDBG funding.

MOWLB hosted a car show at Bolivar Park in August 2023. City staff connected MOWLB with opportunities to host a food truck at Lakewood Youth Sports Opening Day and the Lollipop Lane craft boutique, with a percentage of sales being donated back to the organization. Additionally, MOWLB was featured in Lakewood Briefs, with a donation return envelope included in resident water bills.These fundraising efforts will continue to help offset rising costs and keep daily pricing low for Lakewood clients.

MOWLB organizes 61 volunteers to deliver to four Lakewood routes. Forty-one volunteers from the east Long Beach routes also report to the site manager at the Lakewood location. MOWLB utilizes interns from California State University, Long Beach each semester to assist with program operations and as alternate route drivers. A volunteer appreciation picnic was held at Monte Verde Park last June as a thank you to all volunteers.
