BACKGROUND
The City of Lawndale's Records Management Program (RMP), City Council Policy No. 77-04, regulates the organization, maintenance, retention, preservation, and disposition of the City's records in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws, ordinances, regulations or rules, contractual requirements, and standard business practices. The program applies uniformly to all City departments and ensures that we preserve and maintain essential, original records and that we appropriately destroy non-essential, non-historical records when the need for their retention has ended. In accordance with the policy, the City Council must consent to the destruction of any City records.

STAFF REVIEW
The City Clerk’s Department, City Manager’s Office, Finance Department and Municipal Services Department staff have identified certain records that are no longer operationally needed and are not of historical value. Staff now deems the following records to be obsolete and requests the City Council's authorization to destroy them with the adoption of Resolution No. CC-2409-092.

It is notable that some of the records contain confidential personal information. As required by the RMP, the City Clerk’s Office will shred these confidential documents before disposing of them. In addition, as required by the program, the destruction of all records will be fully documented.

Resolution No. CC-2409-092 authorizes the destruction of these records. As required, the City Attorney has consented to the destruction in writing, as has the City Manager. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the destruction of the records by adopting this Resolution.

LEGAL REVIEW
In addition to reviewing the records destruction authorization forms and consenting to the destruction of the listed records, the City Attorney has reviewed the Resolution and approved it as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff estimates that the cost will be $600 to destroy the proposed records. The funds are budgeted in the City Clerk's Department’s Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget and no additional budget amendment is necessary.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No.CC-2409-092, approving the requests from the City Clerk’s Department, City Manager’s Office, Finance Department and Municipal Services Department for authorization to destroy routine records as listed in the exhibit of the resolution.

BACKGROUND
In 1983, the City of Lawndale entered into a joint powers agreement with the cities of El Segundo, Gardena, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach to establish an employment and training system under the Federal Job Training Partnership Act. The agreement established a Business Private Industry Council consisting of representatives from (a) the private sector and (b) educational agencies, organized labor, rehabilitation agencies, community-based organizations, economic development agencies, and the public employment service.

Each member city appoints representatives to the Business Private Sector Seat on the basis of the proportion of its respective share of funds received under the act.

2.) Eduardo Leiva - Leiva Group LLC, Leiva Holdings, Inc., and Azucanela LLC Term: July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026
The SBWIB was notified that Roderick Edison with MAX Out, Inc. moved his business out of the City of Lawndale into another neighboring city. This has created a vacancy for Lawndale representation on the business private sector seat. Mr. Edison continues to serve on the expired seat until the vacancy is filled, which is consistent with the SBWIB's procedures.

Any business organization in the City can make a recommendation to the City Council for an individual's appointment to the Business Private Sector seat, or the City Council can submit their own recommendation to the SBWIB. The SBWIB states that the business representative can be someone who has a business interest inside or outside of the City they represent.

The appointee must be available to attend eight (8) meetings per year, consisting of four (4) meetings of the quarterly SBWIB Board and four (4) quarterly committee meetings. The appointee will be assigned a committee during an orientation with Jan Vogel, SBWIB Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer, once the appointment process is completed. The completion of a Fair Political Practices Commission Statement of Economic Interest - Form 700 is also required.

STAFF REVIEW
The SBWIB has informed the City of Lawndale of a vacancy that will need to be filled due to the change in business location of Mr. Roderick Edison.

The SBWIB has submitted a name for consideration and supports the nomination of Christina Q. Smith, Founder & CEO of Curly Gurl Luv Beauty Supply, located in the city of Lawndale. Background information of Ms. Smith is attached. The term for the Business Private Sector Seat vacancy is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028. The exact term start date will be effective upon ratification by the City of Inglewood, currently serving as the Administrative Entity for all member cities in the SBWIB jurisdiction.

Therefore, the City of Lawndale's support of any applicant will be forwarded to the City of Inglewood (via the SBWIB) for final approval.

LEGAL REVIEW
None.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council re-affirm the SBWIB's nomination for appointment of Ms. Christina Q. Smith, Founder & CEO of Curly Gurl Luv Beauty Supply, as the City of Lawndale representative on the SBWIB Business Private Sector seat, for a new term beginning July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028.

Approve First Amendment to Contract Services Agreement with Michael Baker International for Planning Manager Services

BACKGROUND
In August 2024, the Community Development Manager resigned from City employment. With the relative short notice and departure of this key position, the City of Lawndale’s Community Development Department was understaffed leaving two (2) positions (Associate Planner and Administrative Assistant) to provide planning, zoning, general land use services, and administrative support for the City. Due to the immediate need to maintain the continuity of professional planning services and assist with the oversight of the Community Development Department, Michael Baker International was retained, within the City Manager’s signing authority, based on the firm’s background and immediate availability.

STAFF REVIEW
Preceding the departure of the Community Development Manager in August 2024, City staff requested proposals from professional firms (Civic Solutions, Munitemps, and Michael Baker International) to provide professional planning manager services. Unfortunately, due to the high demand and unavailability of planners, staff was able to obtain proposals from only two firms Civic Solutions, Inc. and Michael Baker International.

In September 2024, Michael Baker International was selected to immediately commence planning manager services in light of the department’s staffing shortage. While the City has just recently filled the budgeted Associate Planner position, the Director of Community Services position is vacant. As such, it is staff’s desire to amend the contract services agreement with Michael Baker International to continue to assist with the oversight of the daily activities of the department and other planning services as needed by the City Manager, pending the Director of Community Development recruitment efforts.

The current contract services agreement with Michael Baker International was established under the City Manager’s signing authority, for a total contract sum amount of $14,950 for a six (6) month period (September 9, 2024, through April 30, 2025). Additional contract funding is necessary to maintain service levels. As such, staff is recommending the approval of a first amendment to the contract services agreement with Michael Baker International to increase the contract sum amount by $187,850, for a maximum contract sum not exceed $202,800. The consultant’s current hourly rate will continue to be set at $195 per hour, between 36 to 40 hours per week. Any changes in duration will be discussed and approved in writing prior to implementation.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed contract amendment and has approved it to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
A budget amendment of $202,800 is needed in account 279-410-530.100 Community Development Contract Services. We expect to have salary savings from the vacant Director of Community Development and Community Development Manager positions in excess of $210,000, which will be used to cover the cost of the consultant.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council: a) approve the first amendment to the contract services agreement with Michael Baker International for Professional Planning Manager Services in a maximum contract sum not to exceed $202,800; and b) approve the budget amendment of $202,800 in account 279-410-530.100.

SUBJECT: First Amendment to Contract Services Agreement with Civic Solutions for Professional Planning Services

BACKGROUND
Effective August 8, 2024, the Community Development Manager resigned from City employment. Due to the relatively short notice of the resignation and the immediate need to maintain the continuity of professional planning services for the City of Lawndale’s Community Development Department, Civic Solutions, Inc. was retained, within the City Manager’s signing authority, based on the firm’s background and immediate availability.

STAFF REVIEW
With the departure of the Community Development Manager in August 2024, the Community Development Department was left with an Associate Planner and Administrative Assistant to provide planning, zoning, general land use services and administrative support for the department. Due to the department staffing shortage, staff immediately began searching for firms to provide temporary planning services for the department. However, due to the high demand and unavailability of planners in the industry, staff was able to obtain proposals from only two firms Civic Solutions, Inc. and Michael Baker International.

Civic Solutions was selected to provide immediate temporary assistance to the department by focusing on reviewing site plans and answering general zoning questions. The initial contract service agreement was established under the City Manager’s signing authority, for a total contract sum amount of $14,950 for a six (6) month period, to provide immediate planning services. In efforts to continue to assist the department in meeting the needs of its customers, additional contract funding is needed to support the part-time consulting hours. As such, staff is recommending the approval of a first amendment to the contract services agreement with Civic Solutions, Inc. to increase the contract sum amount by $93,600, for a maximum contract sum not exceed $108,550. The consultant’s current hourly rate will continue to be set at $150 per hour for 24 hours per week and all consultant hours spent reviewing site plans will be charged to the project’s deposit, which will cover the cost for this service. Any changes in duration will be discussed and approved in writing prior to implementation.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed contract amendment and has approved it to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
A budget amendment of $108,550 will be needed in account 279-410-530.100 Community Development Contract Services. With the Community Development Manager position now vacant the City is expected to have cost savings of $126,068 in salary and benefits. These saving will be used to offset the cost of this contract with Civic Solutions.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the first amendment to the contract services agreement with Civic Solutions, Inc. for professional planning services for a maximum contract sum not to exceed $108,550 and approve the budget amendment to account 279-410-530.100 for $108,550.

Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperative Agreement #D1104 for Metro Active Transport (MAT) Program

BACKGROUND
On January 28, 2021, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”) Board of Directors approved $6,600,000 in Measure M Metro Active Transport (MAT) Funds over five years for the design and construction of the Redondo Beach Boulevard Active Transportation Project, Metro Project #01104 (Project). Since then, City staff have been working with LACMTA's staff and consultant to advance the project through the planning, public outreach, and conceptual design stages. The purpose of the project is to improve pedestrian and bicycle amenities between El Camino College and Dominguez Park in Redondo Beach.

The Project proposes improved and new bicycle and pedestrian facilities along Redondo Beach Boulevard, Grant Avenue, Ripley Avenue, Lilienthal Lane, and 190th Street. The Project will connect and improve pedestrian and bicycle facilities from the Dominguez Channel Greenway at El Camino Community College to the east to Dominguez Park in Redondo Beach to the west. Project Co-Sponsors include the Cities of Lawndale and Redondo Beach, along with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.

STAFF REVIEW
The LACMTA Board action included $351,900 in funding for preliminary design, including early planning, environmental/planning, and the development of construction plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) (up to a 15%-level design). LACMTA agreed to lead the implementation of the first phase of the Project. The City and other agencies signed a Cooperative Agreement allowing Metro to use these funds on behalf of the Project. The Cooperative Agreement addresses the roles and responsibilities of the Co-Sponsors, and was approved by the Lawndale City Council on February 7, 2022. The City has no financial obligations for this phase.

At this time, LACMTA is seeking to increase the programmed funding amount identified in the Cooperative Agreement for the preliminary design phase from $351,900 to $410,900 based on Metro's actual contract with the consultant for this work. Redondo Beach, Lawndale and County staff have no obligation to the proposed adjustment.

LEGAL REVIEW
City Attorney has reviewed and approved the staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this item. The Project and preliminary design work is funded entirely by the $6.6M LACMTA grant.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

SUBJECT:

Execute a Cooperative Agreement with Los Angeles County for the Rosecrans Avenue Traffic Signal Synchronization Project and Appropriate Additional Funding

BACKGROUND
On March 15, 2021, Los Angeles County (LA County) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU P00F3310, Attachment A) with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) where LA County is sharing with cities the funding provided for in County/LACMTA MOU to finance a portion of the Two Million Nine Hundred Forty Three Thousand Eight Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($2,943,800.00) estimated cost of the Traffic Signal Synchronization project (TSSP). Under the MOU, LACMTA will provide to LA County a grant of up to a maximum of One Million Six Hundred Forty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($1,648,300.00). The City of Lawndale will receive Five Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand Six Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($594,600.00) for its share.

In addition, LA County agrees to contribute funds in the amount of Two Hundred Thirty-Nine Thousand Eight Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($239,800.00) to finance a portion of the City of Lawndale’s One Million Twenty Thousand Nine Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($1,020,900.00) total obligation for the project. The City of Lawndale’s remaining obligation to cover the cost of the project after the Grant share and the County's contribution are applied is One Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand Five Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($186,500.00) as shown in table below:

STAFF REVIEW
Upon Lawndale City Council approval, The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) is set to perform a Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (TSSP) on Rosecrans Ave. (East) arterial street route from Ocean Gate Avenue to Vermont Avenue, which is jurisdictionally shared among the cities of Gardena, Hawthorne, and Lawndale. Due to the scope and cost of the project, the County policy requires a Cooperative Agreement to be executed for the TSSP project. The estimated total cost of the project is $2,943,800.00 with Lawndale's estimated share cost to be $186,500.00, after the grant and county contributions are applied.

The City of Lawndale's $186,500.00 estimated share is the costs of actual construction quantities utilized within City jurisdiction, and it covers engineering, construction administration and 20% contingency.

Staff allocated in FY 2024-2025 an estimated construction cost of $170,000.00 for this project. However, the cost estimate of this project was prepared in 2021, and construction prices have significantly increased since.

The additional funding to cover the increased cost of construction, administration and contingencies is estimated to be approximately $18,600.00.

To have additional funds available until the construction is fully completed, in case other unforeseen costs arise, staff is requesting a total budget increase of $30,000.00 for a total budget of $200,000 for the project.

The County will be the lead agency for designing, advertising for bids and managing the construction of the project.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT
Appropriate $30,000.00 of additional Measure M funds to account 272-310-700.309 Rosecrans Avenue TSSP Project. There is currently $170,000.00 in the fiscal year budget for this project.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Agreement (Attachment B) between the City of Lawndale and Los Angeles County; and

2. Authorize the appropriation of funds in the amount of $30,000.00 to the Rosecrans Avenue Traffic Signal Synchronization Project for a total project budget of $200,000.00.

Scope of Work:

Meetings and Presentations
This work consists of interfacing and coordinating our overall efforts on a regularly scheduled basis with the affected jurisdictions through the South Bay Council of Governments’ Infrastructure Working Group (IWG). The IWG, which meets monthly, is composed of members from key South Bay cities and works closely with MTA, Caltrans and LA County to help ensure that the regional transportation needs of the South Bay area are addressed. Participants of the IWG, which primarily include public works directors and/or city traffic engineers from South Bay cities, has requested LA County staff to present project status reports. In addition to meeting with affected jurisdictions, this work will include meeting with the project administrators of other projects to interface and coordinate the deployment of computer software and hardware, communications infrastructure, and field devices.

Tracking Expenditures/Adhering to Project Schedule
This work consists of tracking expenditures and reviewing project schedules to ensure all projects adhere to their respective scopes of work and project milestones. The activities include: managing the distribution of Grant funds, preparing spreadsheets which track both actual and projected expenditures, maintaining status reports, and overseeing contracts for consultant services.

City Coordination Activities
The coordination activities include: distributing plans and reports to cities, IWG members, and other interested parties, following up to ensure timely comments on reports, and disseminating information on and enlisting participation of city staff and other interested parties in METRO or County sponsored training courses on ITS. This work also includes LA County staff meeting with individual cities to review the type, amount, and cost of ITS components which are recommended to be deployed within their respective jurisdictions.

Rev: 08.07.12 5 FA Attachment B-2

PHASE 2
With the Phase 2 funding of the Project, the County will construct the traffic signal synchronization improvements for the four arterial routes in the South Bay Cities area. This phase also includes the design and construction of ITS Improvements.

Tier 1 Projects – Traffic Signal Synchronization Construction

There are four TSSP projects in this grant: Avalon Boulevard, Imperial Highway, El Segundo Boulevard, and Rosecrans Avenue. The completion of traffic signal synchronization improvements on these routes will complement other synchronization projects in the area and is part of a long-range plan to synchronize and improve all major corridors in the area.

These synchronization projects are the first step toward building a smarter system of roadways. Future elements will build upon this strategy through the expansion of the County’s multijurisdictional traffic control system to provide centralized control, monitoring, and multi-jurisdictional response capabilities with all routes connected to a Traffic Management Center and local agencies’ workstations for regional operation.

The constriction of these four TSSP projects will improve traffic signal operation along those routes by upgrading each traffic signal, providing additional vehicle detection to enable operation as a fully traffic actuated signal, and installing the appropriate components to enable each signal to be capable of time-based coordination. The traffic signals will be retimed to improve the overall progression of traffic along and crossing the routes. Additionally, these components of the Project will install any warranted and feasible roadway improvements along the routes to improve overall progression which may include: modification of signing and striping; and/or minor roadway widening within existing right-of-way to provide for additional lanes. Lastly, these projects will upgrade equipment necessary to ensure the operational safety of all traffic signals along the routes which may include: upgrade of highway safety lights; cut back of median noses out of crosswalks; upgrade signal standards and mast arms to increase visibility of mast arm-mounted vehicle heads; and, modify signal phasing.

Due to unforeseen complications, field conditions, actual engineering costs, actual consultant contract amounts, construction bids, and a variety of other factors, it may become necessary to make adjustments to the scopes of work and revise the estimated costs as the projects progress. Upon completion of the design phases, detailed summaries of intersection improvements and cost estimates will be submitted to the Metro project manager and any project adjustments will be made with the Metro project manager’s approval.

Operational Improvements

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND COST ESTIMATE
Project Name: Operational Improvements
Project Limits: Locations to be determined.

Design/Project Engineering $225,600
Construction $68,514
Contingencies $44,800
Construction Engineering $44,800
Project Management $15,600
TOTAL $399,314
This element of the scope of work will construct appropriate operational improvements that may be recommended during the preliminary engineering and design of the four aforementioned arterial routes in the South Bay Forum. This project will implement warranted and feasible operational or intersection improvements to increase the overall capacity, efficiency, and safety of these routes and their intersections. Typical improvements include: left turn phasing; restriping to provide for additional lanes; minor widening within existing right of way; signing and striping modifications; traffic channelization improvements; and, new traffic signals.

These operational improvements are in addition to the improvements recommended in the scope of work for each arterial route. Additional operational improvements may be identified during pre-design interviews with the affected cities or during field reviews which occur during plan preparation. These operational improvements will only be implemented if they improve the operation and/or safety of the routes.

System Wide Coordination Timing

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK AND COST ESTIMATE
Project Name: System Wide Coordination Timing
Project Limits: South Bay Traffic Forum Region
Project Engineering $407,000
Timing Installation $120,000
Project Management $16,000
TOTAL $543,000
This project will augment the scope and magnitude of the system wide coordination timing to be implemented on various arterial routes in the South Bay Forum. The implementation of the traffic signal synchronization improvements identified in this Scope of Work will alter the traffic signal timing of intersecting arterial streets currently operating under coordinated timing. Therefore, revisions to the timing of the crossing arterials will be necessary. If not FTIP#: LAF3310 CFP# F3310
FA.P00F3310
Rev: 08.07.12 11 FA Attachment B-2
revised, these existing synchronized routes will experience deterioration in the effectiveness of their current signal timing plans, since the timing was designed on the basis of a single arterial and did not account for crossing arterials. The existing routes will need to be retimed employing timing methods based on a network of synchronized routes.

The project will determine the optimal cycle lengths, phase splits, and offsets for the a.m. peak, p.m. peak, and off-peak periods for all of these routes, which may require the use of a modeling software package such as Synchro to be accepted by some of the affected agencies.

This funding will be used to complete the optimizing model, prepare time-space diagrams, prepare timing sheets, install timing in the field controllers, and adjust timing in the field as necessary.

Scope of Work:

This element of the scope of work will implement Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) improvements to increase the capacity of the major arterials without adding lanes and enable the current transportation system in the South Bay Forum to operate at its maximum efficiency. Using advanced technologies for communications and information processing, the project will expand the improvements installed with prior grants and deploy an Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) which is expected to improve the overall regional traffic mobility and reduce traffic delays on arterial corridors. This project is a significant step towards building a smarter system of roadways.

This project’s scope of work includes expansion of the ATMS for the County and City maintained intersections along the project routes. The ATMS expansion will provide the FTIP#: LAF3310 CFP# F3310
FA.P00F3310
Rev: 08.07.12 12 FA Attachment B-2
traffic signal controller upgrades, traffic signal timing revisions, and communications infrastructure necessary to monitor and control the operation and timing of traffic signals; collect and manage real-time traffic information; exchange data and information with other jurisdictions; and monitor signal equipment status. The ATMS will also include the installation of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras to detect incidents and monitor traffic conditions, and a communications system to provide field-to-center and center-to-center connections. Once installed, these CCTV locations are proposed to be connected to the County’s Video Distribution System which will enable the exchange of camera images in real time across jurisdictional boundaries. In addition, the ATMS will include the deployment of travel time measurement devices to capture travel time and traffic counts for performance measurements. Appropriate security measures and levels of authority will be incorporated into these ITS elements to prevent any undesired access to data or control of field devices.

Another primary component of this project is the expansion of the County's Information Exchange Network (IEN) into the South Bay Forum. The IEN will provide an interjurisdictional data-sharing component to allow the implementation of arterial traffic management strategies such as cooperative efforts in timing plan development and coordinated response to arterial incidents, congestion and special events. These strategies will result in a substantial enhancement of traffic signal coordination and event management capabilities for the affected cities. The IEN also includes monitoring and control access permissions/restrictions among the agencies to prevent unauthorized access.

This project complements other ITS projects in the area and is part of a long-range plan to improve all major corridors in Los Angeles County. These ITS elements are part of the overall strategy to provide centralized control and monitoring and multi-jurisdictional response capabilities by tying all routes to a TMC for regional operation. These ITS elements will enable jurisdictions to respond more efficiently and effectively to traffic congestion caused by incidents, special events, and malfunctioning traffic signal equipment.

Due to unforeseen complications, field conditions, actual engineering costs, actual consultant contract amounts, construction bids, and a variety of other factors, it may become necessary to make adjustments to the scope of work and revise the estimated costs as the project progresses. Upon completion of the design phase, detailed summaries of the improvements and cost estimates will be submitted to the Metro project manager and any project adjustments will be made with the Metro project manager’s approval.

Some of the events that the Beautification Committee oversee are the twice-yearly Clean-up Week, the home decorating awards during the Christmas season and more recently, the art in public spaces program.

STAFF REVIEW
Currently the Beautification Committee consists of seven members and requires that four members are present at each meeting in order to have a quorum. This has proven to be a challenge as there have not been seven committee members for several years, with some members getting appointed to the Committee and never once attending a meeting or event. Currently only four Committee members have been consistent in their attendance and loyal to their roles and responsibilities. Meetings are held monthly, and because they must have four members in order to meet the requirements of the Quorum, these four members must often sacrifice personal time, postpone long vacations, and make other sacrifices so that meetings can continue.

The current members would like to lower the minimum membership from seven members to five members.

This change would allow the Beautification Committee to hold meetings with a quorum of three members, which would allow current members to occasionally miss meetings, while attending members could still move forward with the business of the Committee.

The Committee would also like to add a rule for removing members which would expel any member that misses three consecutive meetings, or that misses two meetings without notifying the other members. The active Beautification Committee members feel that these two changes will allow for more efficient meetings, and also guarantee that public meetings do not need to be canceled due to unplanned absences.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed this staff report and approves it to form.

FISCAL REVIEW
Staff anticipate no additional costs as a result of these recommendations.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve staff recommendations to lower the required minimum number of Beautification Committee members from seven members to five members, and to include a provision that allow Committee members to be removed for excessive absences.

BACKGROUND
For the past four years, in an effort to curb the number of illegal fireworks being sold and used within the City of Lawndale, the City Council has approved and supported funding for the Illegal Fireworks Suppression Plan. The plan has evolved over the past four years as each year brings new challenges and experience.

STAFF REVIEW
In 2021, in response to growing concerns from Lawndale residents regarding noise and pollution from the use of illegal fireworks in the City during the July 4
th holiday, City Staff created the Illegal Fireworks
Suppression Plan. The Plan was designed to create a special detail consisting of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) personnel to provide focused enforcement on the use of illegal fireworks being stored and launched within the City of Lawndale.

The 2024 Illegal Fireworks Suppression Plan was unique from previous years in that it did not include City Staff, nor did it use undercover vehicles to patrol the City. The 2024 Illegal Fireworks Suppression Detail consisted entirely of uniformed deputies, in marked black and white patrol cars, patrolling all regions of the City of Lawndale, and responding to service calls from residents about illegal fireworks.

This 2024 Detail consisted of 10 deputies patrolling as two-man units in five overtime patrol vehicles. The Deputies worked from 4:00 pm until 2:00 am and issued a total of 33 citations for illegal fireworks.

Of these 33 citations issued, 9 people appealed their citations, and hearings were held two weeks ago.

Of the nine hearings, five citations were upheld, and one citation was re-issued after the property owner who received the citation advised the hearing officer that it was his tenant lighting fireworks, and he was willing to testify to that.

Lt. Osburn also provided staff with a map of the City of Lawndale showing where each of the citations for illegal fireworks were issued this year. For record keeping and statistical purposes, LASD divides the City into four separate Reporting Districts. Based on the results of this year’s Illegal Fireworks Suppression Detail 9 citations were issued in RD 0331 which is the northeast quadrant of the City. 7 citations were issued in RD 0332, which is the northwest quadrant of the City. 12 citations were issued in RD 0333 which is the southwest quadrant of the City, and 5 citations were issued in RD0334 which is the southeast quadrant of the City.

While the 33 total citations that were issued is a lower number than the previous two years of enforcement, this is in part due to the new body worn cameras that our deputies are required to wear. The existing protocol for our deputies is that whenever a contact is made with the public that results in an action by the deputy, then the information that was recorded during that interaction must be downloaded and logged. This is a fairly time-consuming practice and as the recordings are evidence, the cameras may only be downloaded at the South Los Angeles Station, which requires all deputies who issued citations to leave the City several times during their shifts in order download their body worn cameras.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts as a result of this staff report.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file this staff report.

SUBJECT:

Adopt a Resolution Approving a Transfer Agreement Between the Los Angeles County Flood Control District and The City of Lawndale For Agreement No. 2024MP44 Safe, Clean Water Program

BACKGROUND
In July 2018, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors took action to place the Safe Clean Water (SCW) Program and Measure W on the ballot for consideration by voters in November 2018. The measure was passed with the approval of nearly 70% of the voters. Measure W implements a special tax of 2.5 cents per square foot of impermeable surface on property owners in Los Angeles County and generates approximately $285 million per year of dedicated funding for municipal and regional stormwater programs.

This tax is approximately $83 a year for the average single-family homeowner and exempts low-income seniors. The program is administered by the District and annual revenue will be distributed between: direct allocations to cities in proportion to the tax collected in each jurisdiction (40%), funding for regional projects (50%), and an administration fee for the District (10%).

As a requirement of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4 Permit), each city is responsible for implementing storm water projects in their jurisdiction (distributed projects) such as green streets and source reduction programs, as well as larger, multi-jurisdictional (regional) projects. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works has estimated that the total capital costs to implement these projects to comply with the MS4 Permit exceeds $20 billion for the County and cities. The SCW Program assists cities in meeting water quality compliance regulations by helping fund various projects and programs with an emphasis on implementing multi-benefit stormwater infrastructure.

STAFF REVIEW
In June 2024, the District directed all agencies to execute a newly revised transfer agreement to continue to be able to receive annual Safe Clean Water Municipal funding. The revised transfer agreement has a number of minor changes informed by feedback received over the initial years of the program’s implementation.

These changes include extending the agreement term from 3 to 4 years, revising the metrics required in annual reporting, increasing the length of the extension available for expending lapsed funds from six months to one year, and revising the requirements for information on benefits to disadvantaged communities in the annual reporting.

The City of Lawndale receives approximately $230,000 annually from the SCW Municipal Program for its municipal share. This amount varies depending on the number of exemptions granted and other adjustments to the assessments. This funding may be utilized for a variety of projects and programs that assist in achieving compliance with the MS4 Permit. Multi-benefit projects and nature-based solutions are strongly encouraged.

The transfer agreement must be executed by the City Manager and submitted to the District. Cities must spend 70% of annual allocations on new project and program expenditures, and each year’s funds must be spent within 5 years of receipt. The City has allocated these funds towards various stormwater capital projects, such as the Southern Revitalization Project. Cities must also submit expenditure reports at the end of each year detailing expenditures and maintenance and monitoring plans, as necessary. Additionally, the City must audit the program every three years.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City receives approximately $230,000 annually in SCW Municipal Funds. These funds are set aside in a separate fund to allow for tracking. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Transfer Agreement and related documents; and

2. Adopt the attached Resolution No. CC-2409-093 approving a Transfer Agreement between between the City of Lawndale, Agreement No. 2024MP44, and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District for the City’s annual allocation of funds from the Safe Clean Water (SCW) Program.

SUBJECT: Fund 286 SB1383 Local Assistance Program Grant Budget Amendment

BACKGROUND
In September 2016, Senate Bill 1383 was passed to serve as a statewide effort to reduce emissions of Short Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP) and reduce statewide disposal of organic waste and edible food. Methane gas is a SLCP that is created in landfills when organic waste naturally decomposes. In accordance with this law, all jurisdictions must provide recycling and organics waste collection services to all residential and commercial generators. This will help divert organic materials from landfills. In addition to organics recycling collection programs, SB1383 regulations also require businesses to minimize throwing out “edible food” by requiring the implementation of an Edible Food Program. To aid cities in meeting compliance with SB 1383, the State of California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) released funding opportunities through its Local Assistance Grant Program. The City applied for these grants under Resolution No. CC-1908-042 which authorizes the submittal of applications for all CalRecycle grants for which the City of Lawndale is eligible. The first grant, OWR1 was released in May 2022 to provide cities and counties with initial funding to implement SB 1383 required programs including education, outreach, food recovery, collection, capacity planning, procurement, record-keeping, enforcement, inspection, and program evaluation projects. A second phase, OWR4, was released in November 2023.

The City of Lawndale received grant awards from the Local Assistance Grant Program in the amount of $47,128 on or about, June 1, 2022 and $88,065 on June 4, 2024. The total of $135,193 from CalRecycle must meet the projects and activities performance requirements as outlined in the Local Assistance Grant Program.

STAFF REVIEW
The City of Lawndale is taking steps to encourage residents to properly dispose of their food waste. Staff is proposing to utilize the first grant, OWR1 to purchase counter-top kitchen food scrap pails and backyard composting bins. The pails will be offered to all single-family households and multi-family dwellings at no charge; one pail her household. These counter-top pails are to be used to collect kitchen food scraps until it is time to transfer them to a backyard compost bin or a curbside green cart. The selected food scrap pail has a two-gallon capacity and is portable and reusable with a tight-fitting lid. The 80-gallon backyard compost bin will provide the convenience of discarding the food scraps in their own backyard and producing their own compost for their garden. This method of composting is simple and effective.

The City Attorney has reviewed the staff report.

FISCAL IMPACT
A budget amendment to the Fund 286 budget to reflect the grant revenues of $135,093 and grant expenditures of $135,093, is necessary in the accounts shown below:

Fund 286 Local Assistance
Program Grant
Grant Revenues 286-000-465.451 $135,093
Grant Program Expenses
Personnel Cost Allocations Fund 286 $10,000
Allowed Grant Program
Expenses
Fund 286 $125,093
Total Fund 286 Expenses $135,093
There is no impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize Public Works staff to recognize the grant revenues and authorize the expenditure of the grant funds in compliance with the Local Assistance Grant Program guidelines.

A. Reso No. 1908-042 Auth Submittal of Apps for All CalRecycle Grants.pdf

LEGAL REVIEW
The second grant is proposed to enhance public education and outreach by producing a SB 1383 Organics Recycling Program Guide. This guide will include Frequently Asked Questions, What Goes Where, Acceptable/Unacceptable Items, and most importantly the guide will contain clear graphics and photos for a clear understanding regardless of any language barriers. In addition, the grant funds will be used to support local food recovery services and organizations with tools such as signage and receptacles to streamline their collection system and increase their performance and participation. This enhanced public education and outreach campaign will also be provided electronically on the City’s website, through hard copy materials, and through direct outreach.

Purchase of Vehicle for Community Development Department using ARPA Funding

BACKGROUND
The City of Lawndale was allocated a total of $7,748,138 from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program, a part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to support the City’s response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency.

The purpose of these funds is to provide state, local, and tribal governments with resources needed to respond to the pandemic and its economic effects and to build a stronger, more equitable economy during the recovery.

A replacement vehicle is needed for the Community Development Department. The vehicle they currently have is fully depreciated and has electrical and suspension issues. The cost for these repairs will be in excess of what the car is worth.

STAFF REVIEW
The current expenditures and appropriations to date are $7,687,125 leaving a balance of $61,013. Staff has decided to dedicate/appropriate $40,000 of the remaining ARPA funds to the purchase of a new vehicle for the Community Development Department.

Community Development staff use the vehicle for various reasons including inspections, site plan reviews, seminars and meetings outside the city.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office office has reviewed this staff report and approved it as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
A budget amendment for $40,000 will be needed in account number 285-410-550.300 ARPA Vehicles.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the purchase of a vehicle for the Community Development Department and approve the budget amendment of $40,000 in account number 285-410-550.300 ARPA Vehicles.

On November 1, 2009, $20,545,000 of Tax Allocation Bonds, Series 2009, were issued. Interest rates range from 2% to 5.6% with interest payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 and principal maturing annually on August 1. Debt service payments are included on the Lawndale Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) and funded through the Successor Agency to the former Lawndale Redevelopment Agency, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1X 26.

STAFF REVIEW
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, debt service of $1,298,575. ($370,000 principal and $928,575 interest) was paid and the same amount was received from the Successor Agency. The outstanding principal on the debt changed as follows:
