On October 13, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 98-177, approving a settlement in the matter of Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Lynwood. One of the conditions of the settlement was to fix the rate of the tax related to the Retirement Fund at $0.125 per $100 of assessed valuation. (FIN)

Comments:

The City’s existing agreement with Waterworks Technology, Inc. is set to expire on June 30, 2024. Staff is working on awarding a new contract for Utility Support services for the next three (3) fiscal years. As the expiration of the existing contract is near, Staff is recommending to City Council to approve an amendment to the existing agreement with Waterworks Technology, Inc. to continue to provide Professional Utility Support services for up to two (2) additional months. (PW)
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING A

THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH WATERWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC. FOR THE INTERIM MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER AND SEWER OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO MONTHS;

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS RELATED TO THE AGREEMENTS”.

Comments:

From time to time, the City Council approves a list of vendors and purchasing limits for these vendors who provide materials, supplies and products used by the Public Works Department in the daily course of business. Due to changes in the City’s purchasing policy and based on recent purchasing history, staff recommends approving the vendor list and purchasing limits to allow purchase orders to be opened quickly. By approving the vendors’ list and the individual expenditure limits and approving contracts with consultants for services, the purchasing process will be somewhat streamlined and will provide for more cost effective and efficient operations. The-approval of this list will not eliminate the need to compare prices where required under the Lynwood Municipal Code and for staff to stay within the City Council approved budget.

Background:

City Council City Council Special Meeting 11
The City of Lynwood is a federal entitlement grant recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As part of the process to receive funding, the City must undertake development of a Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. It is called a Consolidated Plan because it consolidates the application process for HUD’s four entitlement grants into one consolidated plan and application. The four grants are CDBG, HOME, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). All four grants are driven by an entitlement formula process set by the federal government. The City is eligible to participate in two of these programs (CDBG and HOME).

As part of the requirements of the federal Consolidated Plan process, the City is required to hold a public hearing regarding the projected use of funds prior to adoption of its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. In order to receive the FY 2024-25 allocations, the City must comply with the following requirements of the Consolidated Plan final rule regarding pre- submission requirements:

Fulfill citizen participation requirements by conducting a public hearing to receive citizen input regarding annual funding needs;
Publish a draft Plan and Annual Action Plan for a 30-day comment period in order to receive citizen input regarding the final document; and Conduct a public hearing adopting the final Plan and the Annual Action Plan.

The Annual Action Plan is part of the Consolidated Plan, which takes all HUD requirements regarding planning, needs analysis, reporting, budgeting, citizen participation and certifications and incorporates them into one process. The full Consolidated Plan must be completed once every five years and the Annual Action Plan must be completed annually.

On March 18, 2024, the CDBG Advisory Board conducted a public hearing to receive input on the development of the City’s Annual Action Plan for the period of July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025. On May 1, 2024, the CDBG Advisory Board reviewed and finalized the FY 2024-25 CDBG and HOME funding recommendations for the City Council’s consideration, which are included in this staff report.

Discussion and Analysis:

Federal funding awards have been announced by HUD and it is proposed that the City will receive approximately $983,091 in CDBG funds and $415,790 in HOME funds. When combined with projected reallocated carryover funds and anticipated program income, the City anticipates having a total of $1,083,091 of CDBG funds available to allocate and $2,002,021 in HOME funds available to allocate for the 2024-25 fiscal year.

In addition, the City will also be
carrying over approximately $200,000 in allocated CDBG-CV funds.

After much deliberation
and thought, it is being proposed that the below activities be funded under the CDBG and City Council City Council Special Meeting 12
HOME programs and included in the City’s Annual Action Plan for the FY 2024-25.

CDBG Funds
In reviewing the CDBG recommendations it would be appropriate for the City Council
to
remember that only three broad funding categories are considered eligible under CDBG- regulations. A project must either provide benefits to low- or moderate-income persons, eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or satisfies an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15% ($147,000) of the annual grant amount plus anticipated program income can be used for social service activities, no more than 20% ($196,618) of the grant amount plus anticipated program income can be used for Planning and Administrative services, and, at least, 70% of all funds must be used for low-to-moderate income activities.

There were seven (7) funding requests submitted to the City. Six (6) of these requests qualify under the social service activity cap (City of Lynwood Afterschool Program, City of Lynwood Senior Center, City of Lynwood Sports Program, HOPICS, Lynwood Athletics Community Services, The Harmony Project) and one (1) request qualifies under the Planning and Administrative services cap (Fair Housing Foundation). In addition, one (1) first time request (Lynwood Rotary Club) submitted an application after the deadline. While these are all worthwhile organizations, based on limited CDBG funding, it will be impossible to fund all of them at the level requested. In evaluating each of the agencies requests, funding is being recommended based on the agency’s past performance, compliance with program guidelines, and need for service. The CDBG Advisory Board did not recommend any funding for Lynwood Rotary Club. A detail list of funding request versus funding recommendation can be found in Attachment “A”.

A detailed list of funding recommendations under the CDBG program is provided below.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
Lynwood is one of the Gateway Cities in the County of Los Angeles. It is centrally located between two freeways, Interstate 105 and Interstate 710 and just 10 minutes from the Los Angeles International Airport. Incorporated in 1921, Lynwood is approximately 4.9 square miles with a population of approximately 70,700 residents. It is a dense and diversely multi-cultural City, and historically remains a bedroom community with a predominantly young population.

Each year between May and July, the City submits an Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”) covering the period July 1st of that year through June 30th of the following year to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). An Action Plan is required by HUD in order for the City to receive federal funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs. The Action Plan includes the proposed activities, resources and expenditures for the CDBG and HOME programs. This is the fifth out of five Action Plans under the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

A more general summary of each project and each amount the City is proposing in the FY 2024-25 can be found under section AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives.

During the development of the Con Plan, the City solicited input from residents to identify and prioritize the various community needs. Furthermore, the City consulted with local public and private service providers to assess the housing and community development needs of low- to moderate-income households and special needs households. The City consulted with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (formally the Los Angeles County Development Commission) and nonprofit organizations to determine funding needs for housing and services for homeless persons, low- to moderate-income persons, and low-income neighborhoods.

Priority areas of need as determined from public participation and research for the Con Plan include the following:

1. Promote, increase, and maintain homeownership for low- and moderate-income (LMI) households;

2. Provide safe, affordable, and decent housing for LMI renters;

3. Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock for LMI households in the O to 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) category;

4. Provide homelessness prevention services to individuals and families who are at imminent risk of homelessness;

5. Provide supportive services to homeless individuals and families;

6. Provide supportive services to seniors and youth;

7. Provide accessibility improvements to public roads and facilities; and

8. Promote fair housing among all income categories.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

The City's is in its fifth year (2024) of it Five Year Con Plan (FY 2020-2024). Overall, the strategies and goals outlined in the Con Plan are evaluated and reported out annually through the CAPER process. The CAPER covers a program year (July 1st-June 30th) and is prepared by the City's Community Development Department.

The City has made progress meeting Con Plan goals and priority needs. Many of the activities performed have contributed to stabilizing the City's low-income neighborhoods and improved the living conditions of low- to moderate-income families and individuals.
 Major activities focused on preservation of the City's affordable housing stock through renovations performed on owner-occupied housing. The scope of the renovations varied depending on the program and household needs with improvements ranging from basic health and safety improvements to full-scale renovation projects eliminating blighted conditions. 20 Annual Action Plan
2024

 Improvements to the City’s public infrastructures help improve the appearance of neighborhoods and create a more appealing environment.
 Funding of non-profit agencies that serve the low- and moderate-income seniors and youth help organizations better meet the needs of their clients.
 Housing, supportive services, and case management were provided to homeless persons through services offered by HOPICS (a City CDBG subrecipient) and Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority. Emergency, transitional, and permanent support was provided based on client need.

Funding of non-profit facilities that serve the homeless and other eligible recipients and neighborhoods align with the goals and strategies outlined in the Con Plan. The City continues to strategically collaborate with partner organizations in order to leverage limited available funds and expertise to provide resources to address ongoing affordable housing issues.  Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) administered by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) on behalf of the City, offered tenant assistance for those qualifying low- to moderate-income residents.

The most recent past performance evaluation and reporting can be found in the FY 2022-23 Comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). This report provides both summary and details of resources, distribution, and accomplishments for CDBG and HOME funded programs.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The allocation priorities are established based on the results of the Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, and public input (which takes place annually as part of the Action Plan process). These assessments, coupled with the City's capacity to address needs with available funds, resulted in these projects being selected. All of these projects meet various needs, as identified in the Priority Needs section of this Plan. The City of Lynwood faces a number of potential obstacles in meeting affordable housing needs, community development needs, and underserved needs including the lack of affordable land for housing development, funding constraints to address the stated needs, and continued reductions of CDBG, HOME, and other federal funding sources in each fiscal year. The City will continue to look for non-traditional ways to develop affordable housing units and meet community development needs; work to combine funding sources and leverage private funds to develop affordable housing; and, to work with the federal government to ensure that sufficient funding continues in order to meet needs. 54 Annual Action Plan

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 Area Benefit
CDBG Infrastructure/Public Works improvements are considered an area benefit activity. An area benefit is an activity that meets the identified needs of low and moderate-income persons residing in an area where at least 51% of the residents are low and moderate-income persons. The benefits of this type of activity are available to all persons in the area regardless of income. Potentially eligible activities include street improvements, façade improvements in neighborhood commercial districts, graffiti removal, and code enforcement.

Citywide
In order to prevent the concentration of low-income persons, City housing programs and social service programs are marketed and available throughout the City. The programs are not directed to any one geographical area but rather the extremely low to moderate-income (0 to 80% of the MFI) persons and families. The City wants to promote a balanced and integrated community and is committed to providing assistance throughout the City.

Deteriorated/Deteriorating Areas
Code Enforcement activities are limited to eligible low- and moderate-income block groups based on an official designation of deteriorating and/or deteriorated areas. On August 20, 2013, the City transmitted a letter to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, LA Office that described the City’s Low and Moderate-Income “Target Area” and “Deteriorating Areas” and the qualifying conditions in each census tract. The five census tracts comprising the deteriorated areas include 5400, 5402, 5403, 5405, and 5418.

Not Applicable
The not applicable area is for CDBG and HOME Administration activities.

The City has traditionally used 80% 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% low/mod benefit level for CDBG activities). In order to continue to achieve this high ratio of low/mod benefit for its CDBG resources, and because of the compelling need to assist 67 Annual Action Plan

Introduction
The demand for affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households in Lynwood has been persistent, as the analyses in the Consolidated Plan have demonstrated. The City established maintenance of affordable housing as a high priority need, and established a goal of rehabilitating 50 owner-occupied housing units in order to maintain the City’s stock of affordable units over the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan. In addition, the City is focusing on creating new affordable units in cooperation with a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO).

The City does not own any public housing units or provide a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. Instead, the City works with the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles who administers a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program within Lynwood.

The needs of the homeless are handled through nonprofit organizations and the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA), is the lead agency in the Los Angeles Continuum of Care and coordinates funds for programs providing shelter, housing, and services to homeless persons in Los Angeles County. LAHSA partners with the County of Los Angeles to integrate services and housing opportunities to ensure a wide distribution of service and housing options throughout the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. The City of Lynwood is located in Service Planning Area (SPA) 6 and will continue to collaborate with LAHSA and other local agencies in providing services for homeless persons.

In addition, the City of Lynwood provides funding towards HOPICS, which is a resource center to assist the homeless or those at-risk of homelessness. HOPICS’ provides a full range of social services for clients including providing temporary housing.

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 Lynwood is not a direct provider of homeless services. Through the CDBG program for FY 2024- 25, the City will be providing funding towards HOPICS, which is a resource center to assist the homeless or those at-risk of homelessness. HOPICS’ provides a full range of social services for clients including providing temporary housing. In addition, the City refers homeless persons to emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing operated by public and private agencies located near the City.

The City also collaborates and is an active partner with LAHSA. The City participated in LAHSA’s 2024 Homeless Youth and Homeless Adult Count, which were conducted in January 2024.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Lynwood is not a direct provider of homeless services. Through the CDBG program for FY 2024- 25, the City will be providing funding towards HOPICS, which is a resource center to assist the homeless or those at-risk of homelessness. HOPICS’ provides a full range of social services for clients including providing temporary housing. In addition, the City refers homeless persons to emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing operated by public and private agencies located near the City. The City also amended the Zoning Code to include provisions for transitional and supportive housing.

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
As stated above, the City coordinates efforts with LAHSA and HOPICS to assist homeless persons in making 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. In addition, as previously mentioned, the City amended the Zoning Code to permit the development of transitional and supportive housing.

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.

In addition to the agencies listed above, the City will continue to seek and work with local non-profit agencies who provide emergency food, clothing, and referral services to low-income Lynwood residents (i.e. LAHSA, 2-1-1, food banks, etc.).

Introduction:

See discussion below.

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
The City of Lynwood 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 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.

Over the years, Lynwood has demonstrated a willingness to encourage housing development of all types. It has approved several zone changes and Code amendments to allow for development of a variety of housing types, including those that benefit low and moderate-income people. It also makes an effort to fast-track projects and process permits in a timely manner. The City maintains its current posture of openness and willingness to entertain 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.

In addition, the City continues to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints and worked to develop and/or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing development and assistance.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

The priority needs established in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan, which are as follows:
 Address obstacles to meet underserved needs;
 Foster and maintain affordable housing;
 Reduce lead-based paint hazards;
 Promote equal housing opportunity;
 Reduce the number of poverty-level families;
 Develop institutional structure;
 Enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies; and  Planning and Administration.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Lynwood faces a number of potential obstacles in meeting affordable housing and community development needs and underserved needs through the CDBG and HOME program including lack of affordable land for housing development, funding constraints to address community development needs, and continued reductions for CDBG, HOME, and other federal funding sources in each fiscal year.

As entitlement grants shrink or remain level-funded, the cost of delivering services and completing projects increase, resulting in financial obstacles to meet needs. Although the availability of federal, state and other private resources continue to decline, the City has been able to meet underserved needs by leveraging General funds with CDBG and HOME funds. Lynwood provides people with special needs with various services, activities, and programs operated by the City and public and private agencies and institutions.

The City will continue to look for non-traditional ways to develop affordable housing units and meet community development needs; work to combine funding sources and leverage private funds to develop affordable housing; and, to work with the federal government to ensure that sufficient funding continues in order to meet needs.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City of Lynwood will foster and maintain affordable housing through the different programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds. Home improvement financial assistance will continue to be provided to low- and moderate-income families to reserve housing standards. Code enforcement activities will remain an important component for maintaining and improving Lynwood’s housing stock, focusing on problems that 74 Annual Action Plan
2024
59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
threaten safety and security.

The City will also continue to collaborative with public agencies, government agencies, housing developers, non-profit agencies, and residents to further maintain housing affordability. The City will use its own City newsletter and website, as well as community events to promote these services, and to promote its housing and community service programs. Through these efforts, it is the City’s goal to maintain housing affordability.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As of FY 2001-02, the City of Lynwood began implementing the new HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires all federally assisted housing programs, including rehabilitation, homeownership, and tenant-based subsidy systems, to address lead hazards.

The City will continue its program of education and eradication of lead-based paint through the operation of its Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs. This program provides assistance to low- and moderate- income homeowners; the target groups most likely to be living in older housing with lead-based paint.

The City has procured the service of a State Certified Lead Consultant to provide the following:
 Lead-based paint and soil inspection
 Lead-based paint risk assessment
 Lead-based paint hazard reduction monitoring
 Post-hazard reduction clearance test.

Under the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, the City will continue to provide each owner who participates with both oral and written information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint and what to do about it. Owners of properties constructed prior to 1978 will be required to meet certain lead-based paint requirements prior to being assisted. These requirements include the following:
 Distribution of lead-based paint notification pamphlets to all households occupying assisted units.  Inspection of all properties for defective paint surfaces.  Abatement of all defective paint surfaces identified at the time of the inspection.

Through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance will be provided to eradicate the problem. Full abatement will be undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It is the responsibility of the City's Administrative Analyst II to the Community Development Department to ensure that properties constructed prior to 1978 meet the lead-based paint requirements and any abatement of defective paint surfaces are completed by contractors certified by the State of California Department of 75 Annual Action Plan
2024
60 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Health Services. A copy of the contractor's certification is kept on file.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City will continue to provide resources to households living in poverty through networks of social and public service agencies and programs. Specifically, poverty-level families will receive: health education services, fair housing services, recreational services, improved infrastructure, and referrals to County services offering other financial assistance. In addition, during FY 2024-25, the City will collaborate with the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles where rental assistance vouchers will be provided to Lynwood families.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Lynwood is governed by a five-member City Council. The City Council reviews, holds hearings, approves the funding priorities, and approves the submission of the Action Plan to HUD. The City’s Community Development Department is the lead agency in the coordination of the Action Plan. It coordinates the economic activities, develops and implements the programs that rehabilitate and preserve the neighborhoods, develops and rehabilitates affordable housing, and provides rental assistance to the very low-income and special-needs segments of the City's population.

While the Community Development Department has the major responsibility for the Action Plan budgeting, project formulation, and program implementation, other City departments, government agencies, social service agencies, and Lynwood residents play an important role. There are several inter- departmental programs, primarily in the area of neighborhood quality of life that are composed of a wide variety of City agencies. All are funded through the CDBG or HOME as a funding source; but in many cases, departmental funds and other funding augment and leverage Action Plan Resources. Guidelines for expenditure of CDBG and HOME funds are provided as needed or when changes to programs occur.

Periodically, the Community Development Department provides departments and City-related agencies with training in HUD grant regulations.

There are many organizations that actively collaborate in the areas of housing, homeless services, and community and economic development, and coordinate closely in both the preparation and implementation of the Action Plan. The City, for its part, will promote and encourage fair housing and single-family home rehabilitation.

One of the biggest challenges facing the City is the lack of or ever-decreasing amount of funds available in maintaining and furthering housing and community development goals. In addition, foundation giving is declining. A related challenge is the need for better coordination and cooperation between the City and social service and health providers. For homeless activities, a seamless approach to provision of transitional and permanent housing services requires that such providers be actively involved in each facet of the Continuum of Care. However, other housing activities, such as rehabilitation, demolition of abandoned or hazardous units, acquisition of sites for potential single family and multifamily affordable 76 Annual Action Plan
2024
61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
housing, home ownership assistance, and new construction need to be integrated within the social service and health provider community as well.

The key to a strong institutional structure is the ability to develop and share data on the progress and status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated information systems. There are now several data information systems in place that, to various degrees, track the progress of a variety of beneficiaries from initial intake, through provision of services, and to completion of participation Institutions playing a major role in delivery of community development programs often have different mandates, and consequently different priorities and strategies to achieve them. These mandates are most often imposed by Congress, and reflected through the regulations of federal funding agencies. In several cases, goals may overlap or conflict.

The City will continue to work with a wide range of public and community social service agencies to meet and address the various needs of the community. The City is an active member of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, an organization that is a key element of the institutional structure.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will carry out this Action Plan through various organizations including a number of social service agencies funded through CDBG grant funds (HOPICS, Lucy Avalos Community Center, Lynwood Athletics Community Services, Lynwood Senior Center, The Harmony Project, Lynwood Sports Program, Lynwood Marlins Swim Team, Budding Artists and the Fair Housing Foundation). In addition, various City departments will work together to achieve the goals of this Action Plan, including the Public Safety Division (Code Enforcement), the Housing Services Division (Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Programs), and the Public Works Department (Infrastructure improvements).

The City also works with the State, other local governments (County of Los Angeles), private industry construction contractors, non-profit organizations and social service providers to provide community, housing, and social service programs and projects. In addition, the City works with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to provide critical information regarding homeless services and identifying and prioritizing gaps and needs in the regional system of care. The City participated in the January 2024 Homeless Count organized by LAHSA.

The City is committed to extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit organizations. The means of cooperation and coordination with these various groups will continue to enhance the services provided to our residents.

The City of Lynwood does not use atypical loans or grant instruments of non-conforming loan guarantees. The City plans to use only the forms of investment and assistance that are explicitly listed in 92.205(b). No other forms of investment and assistance are planned in FY 2024-25.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:

The City does not plan to use more than one set of provisions. While the City will be updating the Down Payment Assistance Program guidelines, the City will use "Recapture" Provisions when applicable as indicated below. Recapture revisions reflect the following model: "The City will recapture the entire direct amount of HOME assistance." Summary of Provisions:
 The provisions indicate the direct subsidy to be recaptured.  The provisions limit the amount to be recaptured to the net proceeds for sale of property.  No resale provision, only recapture.
 Fair return is calculated during recapture; owner investment is returned first and the owner is allowed to recover property investments or costs for improvements.  No use of presumption of affordability. Again, the City will be developing updated guidelines for the City's Down Payment Assistance Program. The guidelines will establish provisions for the recapture of the HOME investment according to the federal regulations (Section 92.254). The resale and recapture provisions will be described in the guidelines. In addition, the provisions will be described to the program participants prior to the purchase of the home. The guidelines will contain the following Resale/Recapture provisions: RECAPTURE. This requirement is a mechanism to recapture the entire direct amount of HOME assistance if the HOME recipient decides to sell the house within the affordability period at whatever price the market will bear. Recaptured funds may be used for any HOME-eligible activity. To ensure affordability, the City has established the following recapture requirements:

1. The homebuyer may sell the property to any willing buyer.

2. The sale of the property during the affordability period triggers repayment of the direct HOME subsidy that the buyer received when he/she originally purchased the home.

3. The City will recapture the entire amount of the HOME assistance from the homeowner under the following conditions: a) upon the sale of property; b) upon the transfer of title; c) when the property is no longer the participant’s principal residence; d) when the house 80 Annual Action Plan
2024
65 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
is refinanced with cash out. (Refinancing is permitted only to reduce the homeowner’s monthly payment).

4. Owner investment returned first. The City will allow the homeowner to recover the homeowner’s entire investment (down payment and capital improvements made by the owner since the purchase of the property) before recapturing the HOME investment.

5. Amount subject to recapture. The HOME investment that is subject to recapture is based on the amount of HOME assistance that enabled the homeowner to buy the dwelling unit.

This includes any HOME assistance that reduced the purchase price from the fair market value to an affordable price. The recaptured funds will be used by the City to carry out HOME-eligible activities.

6. The recapture requirement will be enforced by the following legal documents that will include the recapture requirements: a) A recorded Subordinate Deed of Trust securing repayment of the HOME subsidy; b) A recorded promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:

See above.

4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:

A non-homeless person with special needs is considered as being benefited, however, only if the provision of supportive services is linked to the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of a housing unit and/or the provision of rental assistance during the year. Households or persons who will benefit from more than one program activity must be counted only once. To be included in the goals, the housing unit must, at a minimum, satisfy the HUD Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (see 24 CFR section 882.109).

Definition of “deteriorated/deteriorating” for the purpose of code enforcement eligible under 570.202 (c).

Lynwood defines a “deteriorated or deteriorating” neighborhood as one in which three or more of the deficiencies below are present in a significant number of units. Stagnant or declining property values because of blighted conditions in the identified areas are typical conditions that are significantly affecting once vibrant neighborhoods. In these areas, at least 51 percent of the residents have incomes below the 80 percent income median.

1. Abundant substandard housing, to include illegal garage conversions and illegal additions

2. Inadequate or unsafe plumbing, heating, or electrical facilities 100

2024
85 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

3. Aging and obsolete housing stock

4. Conditions resulting from a defect that normal maintenance cannot correct;

5. Vacant, condemned or demolished properties due to noncompliance with laws, ordinances or regulations

6. Structures with creaks or holes in ceilings, walls, floors

7. Broken or cracked plaster, peeling paint;

8. Rodent vermin infestation;

9. Inadequate heat or no heating

10.Damaged roofing and broken windows

11.Unsafe, congested, poorly designed, or deficient streets;

12.Other equally significant building or environmental deficiencies.

Description of Code Enforcement Activity 24 CFR 570.202(c) The City proposes to use CDBG funds to partially fund code enforcement activities as related to the enforcement of state and local codes. Although Lynwood’s code enforcement inspections are conducted City-wide, the use of the proposed CDBG funds would be limited to inspections within the City’s designated deteriorated areas as part of the City’s overall goal of improving the deteriorated areas.

In addition to the code enforcement program, the City will also concurrently provide other activities to arrest the decline in each area, which includes offering fair housing services for rental properties, a City-supported Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program to help improve the housing stock, funding (as available) for public improvements as well as encourage private improvements, economic development, and other related services.

Upon the completion of an inspection where issues are found, the Public Safety Officer will provide either information as related to the City’s Fair Housing Program for renters or the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program for homeowners.

The City expects to charge the salaries of Public Safety Officers conducting code enforcement inspections, along with related overhead costs, within the eligible “deteriorating” areas. Inspections outside of the designated code enforcement areas would be paid from the City's general funds. The Public Safety Officer’s daily logs for inspections within the eligible “deteriorating” areas would be the source documentation for charging the CDBG program for inspections/enforcement and include the Census Tract/Block Group, the type of inspection, and information given to assist in correcting any found violation.

CITY OF LYNWOOD

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
(For all Federally Funded Grant Programs)

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Section 104(a)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as amended, the City of Lynwood first adopted this Citizen Participation Plan in 1978 and processed revisions as needed from time-to-time. 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 (CDBG) program, the HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) program, and all other Federally Funded Grant programs.

This document outlines basic tenets of the citizen participation regulations and will remain in effect throughout the implementation of the City's entitlement awards from the federal government, or until these funds are completely exhausted. The following details Lynwood's Citizen Participation Plan:

POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the City of Lynwood to provide for full involvement by the community and its residents in the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of programs funded under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, including the CDBG and HOME programs.

CDBG is a federal entitlement grant that allows entitlement jurisdictions to undertake a variety of housing and community development programming for persons who are primarily low to moderate income. The HOME program provides funding for a variety of affordable housing development and assistance.

This Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the procedures and guidelines to be implemented by the City to provide for the continuing participation by the citizens of Lynwood. The City acknowledges the need for, and the role, of citizen involvement, but also recognizes that the final determination and responsibility for policy development rests with the City Council.
107
Annual Action Plan
2024
92 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
This plan may be amended from time-to-time and shall remain in effect until superseded by a new plan or until the City no longer participates in programs that require such a plan.

Citizen Participation does not restrict the responsibility or the authority of the City for the development execution of its Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

A. Consolidated Plan
A Consolidated Plan consolidates the application process for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) four entitlement grants into one consolidated plan and application. The four grants are CDBG, HOME, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). All four grants are driven by an entitlement formula process set by the federal government. The City is eligible to participate in two of these programs (CDBG and HOME). The full Consolidated Plan must be completed once every five years
B. Annual Action Plan
The Annual Action Plan is a part of the Consolidated Plan, which takes all HUD requirements regarding planning, needs analysis, reporting, budgeting, citizen participation and certifications and incorporates them into one process. The Annual Action Plan must be completed annually.

C. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Plan (CAPER) The CAPER describes the overall use of federal CDBG and HOME funds received from HUD in relationship to the needs of the community as outlined in the City’s Annual Action Plan.

D. 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.

E. Urgency Needs
A Federal, State, or Local declared Emergency or Crisis. 108

Residential Benefits:
 Actual moving and related expenses, as the Agency determines to be reasonable and necessary, including expenses outlined in 49 CFR 24.301.  Fixed payment for moving expenses as described in 49 CFR 24.302.

Non-Residential Benefits:
 Payment for actual reasonable moving and related expenses as described in 49 CFR 24.303.
 Reestablishment expense as described in 49 CFR 24.304.  Ineligible moving and related expenses as described in 49 CFR 24.304(b) and 49 CFR 24.305 will not be provided.
 Fixed payments for moving expenses as described in 49 CFR 24.306.

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.

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 City’s Community Development Department 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 120

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
will become permanent records of the City’s Community Development Department 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 City’s Community Development Department 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.

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.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVE THE

FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION VENDOR PROCUREMENT LIST AND VENDOR CONTRACTS, WITH INDIVIDUAL EXPENDITURE LIMITS”
Background:

Discussion and Analysis:

Section 6-3.7 of the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) and the Amended Contracting and Purchasing Policy include various procedures for the procurement of supplies depending upon the dollar amount. Expenditures greater than $5,000 require a Purchase Order in advance to procurement. Purchases up to $50,000 may be approved by the City Manager and expenditures greater than $50,000 require City Council approval.

Pursuant to the City’s Contracting and Purchasing Policy, acquisition of actuarial service, bond advisory, temporary staffing service, armored truck service, and printing and mailing services, etc., were exempt from the formal bidding process. However, a contract and/or purchase order is still required.

City Council City Council Special Meeting 223
6-26-2024 Exhibit A - Vendor Procurement List.pdf
6-26-2024 Vendor Procurement List (Resolution).pdf

Some of the vendors, although on the list, may not be used, depending on the current level of work and price quotes. From time-to-time during the fiscal year, staff will compare prices from vendors to ensure reasonable pricing is provided to the City. The level of use of each vendor on the list is also limited by the budget adopted by the City Council.

These vendors and consultants/contractors have provided reliable services and reasonable pricing. They accept the City’s purchase orders, and agree to work within the City’s purchasing policies and procedures. By establishing the vendors’ list and the individual expenditure limits, and updating such list periodically, the purchasing process will be somewhat streamlined and will provide for more cost effective and efficient operation. However, the pre-approval of this list will not eliminate the need to compare prices and forming contracts/purchase orders where required under the Lynwood Municipal Code nor will it eliminate the need to stay within the City Council’s approved budget

Fiscal Impact:

No additional funding is needed with the recommended action.

ANNUAL RETIREMENT FUND TAX LEVY CERTIFICATION
Agenda Item # 9.7.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled, “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO ORDER THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF TAXES FOR THE CITY’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE RETIREMENT FUND”.

Background:

On April 16, 1946, the City of Lynwood’s residents approved and adopted a property levy tax (Retirement Tax). The City’s retirement tax was approved by voters to support City employees’ and former public safety employees’ retirement costs and contributions to the City’s State- administered retirement system (CalPERS). On October 13, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 98-177, approving a settlement in the matter of Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Lynwood. One of the conditions of the settlement was to fix the rate of the tax related to the Retirement Fund at $0.125 per $100 of assessed valuation.

Discussion and Analysis:

Annually, the City has to submit a statement certified by the City Clerk to the County of Los Angeles for the inclusion of the City’s tax rate on the tax bills. The City Clerk should certify that the City Council approved the tax rate and forward a copy of a resolution or ordinance City Council City Council Special Meeting 229
Reso_Retirement Fund Tax Levy_240618.docx
Reso No. 98-177.pdf
approving the tax rate. In addition, the City shall submit to the County, the required form (CR52 Report A input form) certifying the retirement tax rate at .125000 ($0.125 for each $100 of assessed value) along with the Resolution and the statement from the City Clerk certifying the resolution.

Fiscal Impact:

The action recommended in this report will not have a fiscal impact on the City.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBJECT:

APPROVE

iWATER

INC
,

TO PROVIDE LEAD LINE SURVEY AND
WATER METER INVENTORY SERVICES PER THE U.S EPA’S LEAD
AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS, CIP PROJECT NO. 4011.68.097 & 4011.68.135
Agenda Item # 9.8.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled:
“A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING iWATER
INC.FOR LEAD AND COPPER SURVEYAND WATER METER INVENTORY SERVICES, CIP PROJECT NO. 4011.68.097 & 4011.68.135,
FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $977,405.00.”
Background:

The new Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) developed by the U.S. EPA, aims to better protect communities from lead exposure in drinking water. LCRR protocols include identifying sources of lead in drinking water, initiating mitigation measures and lead service line replacements, testing in schools and childcare facilities, and making the locations of lead service lines publicly available.

Discussion and Analysis:

Staff has determined that a consultant is needed to assist and provide services, in order to City Council City Council Special Meeting 236
develop an inventory list to identify water service line material from the public water distribution system and the property owner’s water service line from the meter to the customer’s residential or commercial building. The inventory list must include all service lines connected to the water system’s distribution system, regardless of ownership status and needs to be submitted to the State Water Resources Board, Division of Drinking Water (DDW) by October 16, 2024.

Staff will also be requesting the consultant to provide additional data such as the size of the existing water meter box, material and condition, as well as the meter lid size and material, type of meter with serial number, customer pipe size and material, customer shutoff valve and other appurtenances.

In addition, the inventory list of the property owner’s water service will include the existing condition of the meter box and lids. This redundant task will assist in more accurately determining the extent of the work needed for the request for proposals (RFP) for the Automated Meter Infrastructure (AMI) installation project in the future.

On April 18, 2024, staff uploaded a RFP to the City website (PlanetBids) for Lead and Copper Survey and Inventory services. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting held on April 30, 2024 was attended by four (4) firms. The proposals were due on May 21, 2024, at 5:00 pm. Staff received the following proposals:

Company
Proposal Amount
iWater, Inc.
$977,405.00
Alisto Engineering Group
$1,625,940.00

After reviewing both firm’s proposals, Staff is recommending that the City Council move forward with iWater, Inc. The firm has shown that is has the necessary experience, scope of work, and schedule that best meet the City’s needs. With the selected firm, staff will be able to submit the inventory list to DDW by the required date.
