In June of each year, the Wall of Distinction Review Committee (“Committee”) will meet as needed to review submitted applications per the provisions of this policy and to make a recommendation of potential inductees to be presented to the City Council.

Nominations will be accepted from any person who is a Lawndale resident at the time of their submission of a completed nomination package. All nominations will be evaluated by the Committee. Should the Committee recommend approval of a nominee in the Wall of Distinction program, the Committee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council.

PREPARED BY: Raylette Felton, Deputy City Manager/Director of Human Resources SUBJECT: Approval of Equipment Replacement for City Clerk Desk

BACKGROUND
In November 2023, City Council authorized an agreement with Western Audio Visual and Security (WAVS) for the City Council Audio and Visual Technology Upgrade Project. This project was necessary to replace and upgrade obsolete and fragile audio-visual technology. The project included the replacement of audio equipment; dais and city clerk monitors; projector screen and voting board; and added new digital nameplates for each dais seat. As the project has now reached its final implementation phase, staff is requesting City Council’s approval to remove and replace the monitors installed at the City Clerk’s workstation.

STAFF REVIEW
Since November 2023, WAVS and City staff have worked diligently to complete the installation of the City Council Chamber audio-visual equipment. During this process, a change in the scope of work was necessary to allow for professional electrical and major millwork that was outside of the initial proposal, for an additional cost of $15,149. This additional work was added to final agreement, as authorized by City Council, under the City Manager’s authority, bringing the total cost of this project up to $163,312.36, thereby using the 10% contingency funds approved for this project.

As the project progresses towards completion, staff noticed a need to make necessary changes to the City Clerk’s workspace by removing the two (2) 22” monitors and replacing them with one (1) 15” monitor. This change would preserve the needed workspace for the City Clerk. The cost for the change in equipment and installation would be $321.00, bringing the total cost of the project up to $163,633. As the City has exhausted the authorized budget for this project, staff is now requesting $321.00 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to complete the change out of equipment for the City Clerk.

LEGAL REVIEW
N/A

FISCAL IMPACT
A budget amendment for $321.00 is needed from ARPA funding. There is no impact to the General Fund. This project is being funded by ARPA.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends that City Council: 1) approve the purchase and installation of one (1) 15" monitor for the City Clerk workstation to replace the two (2) 22" monitors in the amount of $321.00; and 2) authorize the allocation of $321.00 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for this purchase and installation.

SUBJECT: Designation of Voting Delegate & Alternate(s) to the 2024 League of California Cities Conference

BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) annual conference will be held October 16-18, 2024 in Long Beach, California.

During the annual business meeting on Friday, October 18, 2024, the General Assembly will consider and act upon resolutions that establish Cal Cities policies.

Pursuant to the Cal Cities bylaws, to vote on the resolutions, each city must formally designate a voting delegate and up to two voting alternates to represent their city at this meeting. This year, Cal Cities requires receipt of each cities official voting delegate/alternate form no later than Wednesday, September 25, 2024 through the online submission portal, and advises Council action with sufficient time for staff to attest to and provide the online submission to Cal Cities.

STAFF REVIEW
Designation of Voting Delegate/Alternate(s): Cal Cities procedures allow each city council to designate its voting delegate and up to two alternate(s) via resolution or minute action. In the past, the Mayor has polled the City Council to determine which members wished to attend the conference and participate as the voting delegate or alternate. The City Council then designated a voting delegate and voting alternate(s) by minute action. Staff recommends to continue the same process.

The City's most recent voting delegate and voting alternate(s) are listed below:

Year Voting Delegate Voting Alternate(s)
2023 Mayor Pro Tem Cuevas Council Member Suarez
2022 Council Member Cuevas Council Member Kearney
2021 Council Member Cuevas Council Member Kearney
2020 Council Member Suarez Mayor Pro Tem Kearney
Conference Resolutions Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo: General Resolutions - Sixty days before the Annual Conference and Expo, Cal Cities members may submit policy proposals on issues of importance to cities. The resolution must have the concurrence of at least five additional member cities or individual members.

During the Annual Conference and Expo: Petitioned Resolutions - The petitioned resolution is an alternate method to introduce policy proposals during the annual conference. The petition must be signed by voting delegates from 10% of member cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities President at least 24 hours before the beginning of the General Assembly.

General Assembly: During the General Assembly, voting delegates debate and consider general and petitioned resolution forwarded by the Resolutions Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also considered at this meeting.

General Assembly Voting Guidelines are provided in Attachment A to this staff report.

The City Council may wish to take a position on a resolution and give direction to the City's voting delegate in accordance with the position. Should that occur, City Council Members should request that an item be placed on a special council meeting agenda. Staff recommends that such requests be forwarded to the City Manager as soon as possible.

Conference Registration and Expenses: In order to participate, the voting delegate and voting alternate(s) must be registered to attend the conference. They can register for the full conference, or they can register for the Friday only conference which is offered at a reduced one-day rate. To be eligible to cast a vote, one voting delegate or alternate must be present at the Business Meeting on Friday, October 18, 2024, and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool.

Each City is allowed one vote.

Conference registration is now open on the Cal Cities website. This year the conference is being held locally in Long Beach and will require minimal travel by car. Due to the proximity of the conference, hotel accommodations have not been included in this years budget for this conference.

Registration for the full 3-day conference is $700. Single day registration for the Business Meeting, or to attend any one day of sessions, is $350. Additional reimbursable travel expenses may include daily round-trip mileage for personal vehicle use, parking fees, and any incidental meals not included. A City vehicle may be requested and, if available, will reduce the reimbursable costs for daily travel to and from the conference site in Long Beach.

Staff estimates the total cost for one person to attend the full conference to be up to $850 each; a one-day session is estimated to cost up to $425 each.

LEGAL REVIEW
N/A

FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council travel and meetings account 100-110-510.620 is budgeted in this Fiscal Year 2024/25 for $1700 total for up to two attendees to attend the full conference including parking, mileage and incidental meal reimbursements.

If more than two council members wish to attend the conference, additional budget appropriations may be required and are estimated to be be $425 each for a one-day session only, or $850 each for the full 3-day conference, to include parking, mileage, and incidental meal reimbursements.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council A) Select a Voting Delegate and Voting Alternate(s) to represent the City at the 2024 League of California Cities Annual Conference; B) direct staff in the City Clerk Department to forward the appropriate formal minute action of such designation to the League of California Cities and the City Manager Department; C) determine if additional Council Members will attend the conference; and if yes D) direct the Finance Director/City Treasurer to identify and appropriate the additional funding required, and make the appropriate transfer of funds to the City Council Travel/Meetings Fund No. 100-110-510.620.

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 16-18, 2024 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 18, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 25. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

Council Action Advised by September 25, 2024
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 25. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

SUBJECT: Relocation of the Lawndale Historical Society

BACKGROUND
The Lawndale Historical Society has served the Lawndale community over the years by working to save and preserve various documents and materials highlighting the rich history of the City of Lawndale. This volunteer group has a collection of information, articles, pictures, and memorabilia currently stored in the City owned building located at 14616 Grevillea Avenue.

This location has been the primary site for all of the materials, as well as the Public History Museum, since 2011.

On March 5, 2012, the City Council approved a lease agreement with the Historical Society for use of the a room in the Municipal Services Department (MSD) located at 14616 Grevillea. Subsequently, on March 2, 2015, the City Council approved a first amendment to the lease agreement, extending their permitted use through 2018.

Currently the Historical Society is not an active organization, as there are no volunteers able to continue offering the service to the City. Therefore, the Public History Museum and all of the contents in storage are no longer available to the public. In addition, with the pending renovation of the building to the new Youth Development Center project, along with consultation with the City Manager, it was decided that an alternative location needs to be identified for the Historical Society and Public History Museum in order to ensure this service service is provided to the community.

STAFF REVIEW
Staff have toured the Historical Society (Public History Museum and storage areas) and met with one of the last volunteers to serve the Society, Mrs. Janice Givens. Mrs. Givens, along with other volunteers, had dedicated thousands of hours to preserving Lawndale's history through her work with the Historical Society. There is a great deal of interest in continuing to preserve the information, photos, and memorabilia that is currently at that location.

As there is no vacant space at any City facilities, staff worked to identify a location that could take on the storage and display of materials in a building that would still be accessible to the public. The one potential location is the Computer Room at the Harold E. Hofmann Community Center. The Computer Room is a 30 foot by 30 foot room with dedicated storage area on the second floor of the Community Center. It is currently filled with nine (9) computers and three (3) long desks, with operating hours from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm weekdays.

The Community Center Computer Room does not receive a great deal of use from the public, averaging only a few users per month. And with the Public Library right across the street, there are multiple computer stations available for youth, teens, and adults should they need computer access. The current recommendation is not to remove the Computer Room completely, however to relocate a small portion of it to the common area on the second floor. Staff have measured the current space and furniture, and confirmed that at least three (3) computers could be relocated to the space with only a minor disturbance to the current layout. Staff would have visible access of the proposed computer area and the computers would utilize the building's wireless network for internet access.

As for the Historical Society Museum, staff recommend turning the Computer Room (Attachment A) into the new Historical Center, utilizing as much of the Historical Society equipment as possible. The large storage room can be used for storage of binders, photo albums, and boxes of stored items, while rotating displays can be created highlighting the information, photos, and memorabilia that can be shared with the public during operating hours.

As this would be a rather large task, and given the fact that there are no Historical Society members available to serve as volunteers, staff are recommending that a part-time 20 hour per week position be created to serve as the City's Historian and Historical Center curator/manager. The position would need to be created and funded and would serve as both the public contact for the Center as well as the person responsible for inventory and management of all of the materials that would need to be transported from the Grevillea building to the second floor of the community center.

In addition to a new position, staff would be requesting one-time funds that could be used to prepare the former computer room for this transition, including new signage, window treatments to protect the documents on display, and new display cabinets and boards that can be used to properly and safely display the materials. And while the cost of these improvements is currently unknown, staff would begin researching this and potentially working with a consultant that has experience handling and displaying historic materials.

This potential relocation would save the valuable information that is currently being housed at the Grevillea location. The proposed renovation and conceptual design for the future Youth Development Center do not include space for the Museum, as it is dedicated to the Teen Center, Municipal Services Department, and Cable TV Offices.

LEGAL REVIEW
N/A

FISCAL IMPACT
A proposed budget will be created should the City Council provide direction to move towards the relocation of the Historical Society to the Harold E. Hofmann Community Center.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council consider and provide direction for the possible relocation of the Lawndale Historical Society and Public History Museum from the current location at 14616 Grevillea Avenue to the Harold E. Hofmann Community Center second floor computer room, located at 14700 Burin Avenue. Staff would prepare a staffing budget and estimated one-time costs for the City Council to review at a future meeting.

CITY OF LAWNDALE
14717 BURIN AVENUE, LAWNDALE, CALIFORNIA 90260
PHONE (310) 973-3200 ♦ www.lawndalecity.org
DATE: August 5, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean M. Moore, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Jason Minter, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract Services Agreement for Graphic Artist and Production Services

BACKGROUND
The Lawndalian City Newsletter was a publication that was mailed to all business and resident addresses in Lawndale with articles, updates, and special event information. Traditionally the Lawndalian was mailed out on a quarterly basis coinciding with the Community Services Department’s contract class and program schedule. The newsletter was also available for pickup at public counters and was available on the City’s website in an electronic format. Unfortunately the Lawndalian has not been printed over the last few years, however Council provided the direction and budget to bring the Lawndalian back in it’s printed format on a bi-annual basis.

STAFF REVIEW
In May of 2024, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued requesting proposals to reestablish the Lawndalian in its printed format. The RFP City Newsletter Graphic Artist and Production Services (RFP BN-2406-30), closed on June 3, 2024. There were five proposals received by the Clerk’s Office prior to the deadline. The five companies submitting proposals including the following:

Andrea Dawn Graphics
Marina Graphic Center
Q Press
The PM Group
We The Creative
A review team was created to review the proposals, including staff from the Community Services and Municipal Services Departments. Each proposal was rated based on the following categories:

Thoroughness of Proposal (20 points)
Demonstrated Experience (30 points)
Examples of Previous Work (15 points)
Service History/Reference Checks (15 points)
Overall Cost (20 points)
The three (3) person rating panel each submitted individual rating sheets after reviewing each of the five (5) proposals. All proposals submitted were very professional and met all of the criteria established in RFP. All three (3) raters scores were tallied and an average score was determined for each proposal. The vendors and their scores are ranked as follows:

1. Q Press (94.7)

2. We The Creative (89.0)

3. Andrea Dawn Graphics (87.0)

4. Marina Graphic Center (85.0)

5. The PM Group (85.0)
In comparing each of the vendors the rating panel agreed that all 5 vendors were well qualified to handle the scope of this project. Each had multiple years of experience doing similar work and included some of their quality products in their submissions. And while Q Press was not the most inexpensive proposal received, it was the second lowest, but scored higher in the other categories.

When the Lawndalian was last printed more than four years ago, the printer was Q Press, a Pasadena based business. Q Press had printed the Lawndalian for nearly 10 years at the time production was halted. During those years the Community Services Department had been extremely pleased with the services provided by Q Press. Their responsiveness, customer service, creative and solution-oriented thinking, and cost saving measures had benefited the City a great deal. Some of the benefits included in the proposal are as follows:

Recycled paper option at no extra charge
Spanish translation services charged per word
Newsletter formatting
Unlimited changes and revisions
Live flippable format for the website
The proposal received from Q Press can be found in the attached proposal (Attachment A). The total cost for four (4) newsletters is $27,050.88 (or $6,762.72 per issue), and includes the following:

Graphic Art, Layout and Design
Spanish Translation
Revisions Changes, Final Formatting
Prepress, Printing, Folding, Binding and Delivery (to a mail house, if necessary) The term identified in the RFP was for two (2) years, with two (2) issues produced per year. If at the completion of the two (2) year agreement, both the vendor and City are agreeable to continue service, the City Manager is authorized to two (2) separate one (1) year extensions provided the vendor agrees to hold pricing at the completion of the original two (2) year agreement.

This has been done with Q Press during previous contract periods, and would be reviewed and discussed with Q Press prior to the completion of the two (2) year agreement to ensure continuity of service to the community.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed the Contract Services Agreement and approved it as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact as there are adequate funds budgeted for this item in the FY 2024-2025 budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that City Council approve the Contract Services Agreement (Attachment B) with Q Press of Pasadena, CA, for a not-to-exceed amount of $27,050.88, for the term of two years, beginning August 5, 2024 and ending June 30, 2026, with the option for two (2) additional one (1) year extensions at the discretion of the City Manager.

Attention: City Clerk’s Office
City Newsletter Proposal
14717 Burin Avenue
Lawndale, CA 90260
Dear Lady/Gentleman,
Q Press was founded in 1997 with the purpose to create a one-stop-shop cities and school districts could turn to for their publicity (project planning, design, printing and mailing) needs.

Q Press’ niche is creating City Newsletters / Recreation Guides. This comes with the experience and (customer) service tailored to what municipalities look for.

Q Press is a family-owned graphic design studio, holder of a valid City of Lawndale Business License and all required insurances.

After working on the The Lawndalian in the past 15 years we elected to present this proposal to the City of Lawndale because we believe our services have been beneficial to “The Heart of the South Bay.”
With the help of the City’s staff, Q Press was able to take the publication to the next level:
• The Lawndalian is designed and printed in full color, on glossy paper (for less than what the previous vendor charged);
• Starting with the Fall 2010 issue the newsletter became available online in the reader friendly flipping-pages format;
• In March 2012 the publication got extended to 16 pages for no extra cost to the City; • Starting with the Fall 2015 issue, The Lawndalian is printed on recycled paper, also for no extra cost to the City;
• Q Press’ “date-checking” and proofreading services helped to catch inconsistencies and mistakes.

In our name “Q” stands for quality. We are here to continue to “make your project happen,” to “make you shine.” Please read more on the following pages about Q Press and the unique services we provide.

We understand that
the City is looking for a
vendor who it can trust
with the production of
The Lawndalian.
• For over a quarter of a century Q Press have successfully assisted cities and public schools putting their seasonal newsletters, brochures and marketing packages together. • By continuing with Q Press, the City would receive the same headache-free, quality, on-time and customer oriented service tailored to your needs you have been getting since 2009.

We understand that the
City’s goal is to put an
affordable, yet attractive
and reader friendly
bi-annual newsletter into
Lawndalians’ hands.
• Together with the City we were able to take the publication to the next level.
• Awarding the RFP to Q Press would guarantee that residents will find the same kind of colorful and engaging issues in their mailboxes they are used to getting in the past 15 years.

In the RFP it’s mentioned
that multiple rounds of
revisions are done before
The Lawndalian is released
to print.
• Please know, that like in the past, for no extra cost we’ll do as many revisions as needed.
• As a courtesy, Q Press will continue to proofread the newsletter.

Every issue is reviewed once more after receiving the “OK to print” release from the City.
• We would also continue “date-check” for you.

Example: if the Beginning Ballet class is on Tuesday, January 15 we would check if indeed 1/15 is a Tuesday
Q Press’ unique service caught serious errors for it’s happy clients.

The City of Lawndale
is looking for an
environmentally conscious
company which will be a
true help when it comes
to making the publication
inviting.
• When designing publications we always try to see with the “public’s eyes.” Can phone numbers, addresses and contact information be spotted at a glance? Is it easy to read and navigate through the newsletter?
• We have access to photos, graphics, fonts. We’ll continue using tasteful, matching seasonal illustrations (or pictures sent by the City) to compliment each issue.
• “The Lawndalian” to be produced on state of the art networked computers, printing presses and bindery equipment.
• We are very proud of the fruits of the collaboration between the City and Q Press: 16-pager full color issues, printed on FSC Certified Recycled Paper, produced in an environmentally friendly studio / plant.

How can Q Press assist the City with “The Lawndalian” project? What can Q Press do for the City of Lawndale?

Pasadena, CA 91107
To meet the community’s
needs, the seasonal
newsletter is translated to
Spanish.
• Q Press’ Certified State of California Court Translator is ready to continue to keep taking the task on!
The City might want
to meet time to time to
go over The Lawndalian
project.
• We always welcome our client’s feedback and suggestions.

Q Press will be available to discuss your recommendations with open ears.

The City of Lawndale
has certain insurance and
license requirements.
• Q Press has all the necessary coverage, along with a valid City of Lawndale Business License.

Possible various future
needs of the City of
Lawndale.
• Thank you for working with us on the Jazz Festival postcard, Youth Day posters and postcards, the Bus Brochure and other projects.

We are available for future needs the City might have
(regardless the outcome of this RFP).

The City of Hawthorne held a ribbon cutting ceremony
on March 12th to celebrate the beginning of renovation
improvements to several city properties. Several
apartment complexes, with 38 low-income affordable
housing units are getting renovations to the exterior
and interior parts of the apartment buildings. Some of
the renovations include new flooring, new heaters,
appliances and other upgrades. The project received

4.4 million from various grants to fund the project. The renovations are expected to be completed by 2025.

City of Hawthorne’s Public Works Department
converted 126th Street between Hawthorne Blvd.
and Grevillea Ave. into a one-way street; traveling
westbound. Forty-six stalls are now available, 12 of
which don’t require a permit during business hours.

Between the hours of 6am to 6pm, only City
employees are allowed to park on the one-way
street.

The change was approved by City Council to
alleviate parking due to the upcoming new City Hall
Expansion Project where the current parking lot will
be under construction.

Water
Saving Tips

1. Water your lawn only when it needs it. Step on your grass… if it springs back when you lift your foot, it doesn’t need water. So set your sprinklers for less frequent watering… saves 750 to 1,500 gallons a month. Better yet, in times of drought, water with a hose.

2. Fix all plumbing and irrigation leaks… saves about
20 gallons a day for each leak stopped.

3. Don’t run the hose while washing your car… use a
bucket of water and a quick hose rinse at the end… saves 150 gallons each time. That’s a significant amount of
water if you wash your cars frequently.

4. Run only full loads in the washing machine and
dishwasher… saves 300 to 800 gallons a month.

5. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks… saves 150 gallons or more each time. At once a week, that’s more than 600 gallons a month.

6. Don’t water the sidewalks, driveway, street, or the side of your house. Adjust sprinklers so the water lands on your lawn or garden – where it belongs… saves 500 gallons a
month.

7. Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants. Shredded leaves/bark, peat moss or gravel slows down evaporation… saves 750 to 1,500 gallons a month.

8. If you have a pool, use a cover to cut down on evaporation... it will also keep the pool cleaner… saves 1,000 gallons a month.

9. Water during the cool parts of the day. Early mornings are better than evenings since it will help prevent fungus and mildew growth… saves 300 gallons a month.

10. Take your car to a car wash if you can… generally, most car washes filter and recycle a high percentage of the wash/ rinse water which is very resource efficient.

STORMWATER

POLLUTION PREVENTION
Stormwater is the rain water that passes over city streets, roofs, and driveways picking up pollutants contained in litter, fertilizer, tires, and many other everyday objects. La Verne’s storm water flows to gutters and catch basins, eventually making its way to water bodies like Puddingstone and/or the Pacific Ocean. The storm water then pollutes the surface water, making it less suitable for wildlife, fishing and recreation. As one of the largest developed areas in the United States, Los Angeles County cities are being held to a very high standard when it comes to surface water pollution. The passage of Los Angeles Region Water Quality Control Board Order No. R4-2021- 0105 means that preventing pollutants from entering into our water bodies is a responsibility required of LA County cities, like La Verne.

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR MINIMIZING
STORMWATER POLLUTION?
All of us!
HOW? By following these tips, everyone can help improve water quality within our communities.
§ Place pet waste, cigarette butts and other trash in the appropriate receptacles to keep it from entering the ocean.
§ Walk, bike, skateboard or utilize other human powered modes of transportation for nearby trips. This will help reduce the amount of metals and chemicals falling onto the road.
§ Reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, especially within 48 hours of rainfall.
§ When washing your car at home, don’t wash the soapy or dirty water into the gutter.

If you are a senior, age 50+,
living alone in La Verne or
you have parents or friends
who live alone, the YANA (You
Are Not Alone) program may be a
perfect resource. YANA is a free
program started by the La Verne RSVPs.

Personal visits or phone calls on designated
day(s) and time(s) are made to check on program participants.

If you are interested in learning more about the program, give us a call at (909) 805-5932.

Business Assistance
for Crime Reduction
(BACR)
The La Verne Police Department is at the forefront of establishing the innovative Business Assistance for Crime Reduction (BACR) initiative, focusing on businesses susceptible to burglaries and other related property crimes.

The BACR initiative is strategically designed to bolster security through partnerships, the application of environmental design principles, the integration of cutting-edge technology, and fostering community collaboration. This initiative emerges as a direct countermeasure to the escalating incidents of “smash and grabs” affecting retail establishments along major travel routes in California. Through a blend of educational, preventative, and cooperative strategies, the BACR initiative is set to significantly uplift the security framework for businesses, thereby fostering a safer and more secure community environment.

More information about the BACR program and upcoming
events will be posted on the City website. For more information, contact us at [email protected].

5001 Via de Mansion
The City of La Verne’s Youth and Family Action Committee, local churches, associations, and community members are once again sponsoring a free summer lunch program for the community’s youth at Las Flores Park.

During the school year, eligible students receive free or reduced cost lunches.

However, once the school year ends, there is no longer a lunch program provided.

Members of the Youth and Family Action Committee created the free summer lunch program to fill that gap.

The City of La Verne Youth and Family Action Committee is a formal committee of the City, comprised of representatives from private agencies, non-profit organizations, La Verne Police Department, Bonita Unified School District, City staff, and many interested citizens.

With the committee’s focal point on addressing challenges that confront our youth before growing into greater concerns, we are constantly made aware of new trends. On the premise that knowledge is power, the committee has created the “YFAC Word” as a way to inform parents so they too can be aware of these potential issues.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Lisa Harris's recent return to
the Recreation field is driven
by an unwavering passion to
positively impact the lives of
others. Her journey began
in 2006, when she dedicated
herself as a volunteer in senior programming in Colton.

This initial involvement ignited her desire to contribute further, leading her to secure a part-time position within the Recreation Division, where she immersed herself in
several programs catering to various age groups until
late 2017.

Within the Recreation field, Lisa not only discovered
purpose in her work, but also found a nurturing
environment where she could enrich the lives of her
children through Community Services Department events
and programs, which stood out from neighboring cities.

As she reclaims her role in Recreation, Lisa primarily
focuses her efforts at the Hermosa Gardens Cemetery
office and grounds. Her integral role in facilitating
transitions for both new and returning patrons
underscores her commitment to the community's wellbeing. Lisa's dedication to effecting positive change on a daily basis stands as a testament to her passion for her job.

Beyond her professional pursuits, she finds joy in her
two passions: coffee and plants. During her downtime,
Lisa cherishes moments spent with her granddaughter,
particularly when they indulge in their shared love for gardening.

In recognition of her invaluable contributions, Lisa remains an essential piece within the Recreation Division, and
we extend our utmost appreciation for her unwavering
dedication to enhancing the Colton community.

This includes batteries of all types and sizes: Alkaline (AAA, AA, C, D, 9 volt), Lithium-ion (button cell, power tool batteries, camera batteries, other electronics), Ni-Cad (power tools), rechargeable and single use. Batteries can be taken to one of the San Bernardino County Household Hazardous Waste drop-off centers.

For additional information about the disposal of hazardous waste, please visit sbcfire.org or call 800.648-9228.

Do not place carts into the street where they block trac, or obstruct drivers from entering their cars.

RECYCLING WITH C. R. & R. INCORPORATED
Over the last year, existing
landscape on Cooley Drive
median from Mt. Vernon
Avenue to E. Washington
Street was removed and
replaced with new, lowwater use trees, shrubs
and groundcovers moving the City further along in
making Water Conservation a California Way of Life
here in Colton.

The full project consisted of the removal of over
175,000 square feet of existing turf, shrubs, trees
and outdated irrigation equipment as well as the
trimming of all remaining pine and magnolia trees.

New, low water use plant material and modernized
irrigation was installed and complemented by
several decorative rock types, aluminum edging and
(2) two, lighted City Monument signs.

Emergency regulations banning watering of
non-functional turf (mowed grass not used for
recreational or community activities) at businesses
and government properties are still in effect
by California’s State Water Resources Control
Board. The completion of the Cooley Drive Water
Conservation Landscape Rehabilitation Project not
only further beautifies City maintained properties, it
also reduces City staff time dedicated to landscape
maintenance. More importantly, it helps ensure
Colton complies with ongoing water regulations!
Durante el último año, el paisaje existente en la mediana de Cooley Drive desde Mt. Vernon Avenue hasta E.

Washington Street fue eliminado y reemplazado con
nuevos árboles y arbustos de bajo uso de agua, lo
que hizo que la ciudad avanzara más para hacer de la
conservación del agua una forma de vida en California. La vida aquí en Colton.

El proyecto completo consistió en la eliminación de
más de 175,000 pies cuadrados de césped, arbustos,
árboles y equipos de riego obsoletos existentes, así
como la poda de todos los pinos y magnolias restantes.

Se instaló material nuevo de bajo consumo de agua y
riego modernizado, que se complementó con varios
tipos de rocas decorativas, bordes de aluminio y (2) dos letreros iluminados del
Monumento a la Ciudad.

La Junta Estatal de
Control de Recursos
Hídricos de California
todavía está vigente
a las regulaciones de
emergencia que prohíben
el riego de césped no
funcional (césped cortado que no se usa para actividades recreativas o comunitarias) en empresas y propiedades
gobernamentales. La finalización del Proyecto de
Rehabilitación del Paisaje para la Conservación del
Agua de Cooley Drive no solo embellece aún más las
propiedades mantenidas por la Ciudad, sino que también
reduce el tiempo que el personal de la Ciudad dedica al mantenimiento del paisaje. Más importante aún, ¡ayuda
a garantizar que Colton cumpla con las regulaciones
vigentes sobre el agua!
