AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: ANTHONY RAINEY, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD AND

SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE MAYWOOD COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT

AGENCY APPROVING THE WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council receive, approve and file the warrant registers, wire transfers dated June 27th through July 1st 2022, and net payrolls dated June 5th through June 18th and adopt Resolution 6257 approving Warrants for Payment.

BACKGROUND:

Staff provides warrant registers and wire transfers to City Council as part of Management Controls, which as a whole are the policies, procedures, and practices conceived and put in place to assure the following:
 the economical, efficient, and effective achievement of the City's objectives.  adherence to laws, regulations, rules for policies;
 the safeguarding of assets and information;
 the prevention and detection of fraud and error; and
 the quality of accounting records and the timely production of reliable financial and management information.

Furthermore, Internal Controls are a set of rules, procedures, and practices developed and employed to facilitate the safeguarding of the City’s assets, be they liquid (cash or investments) or fixed (infrastructure or equipment), or intangible (credit rating or information). Internal Controls are represented on Exhibit A - Warrant Summary Demand under Accounts Payable section that is supported by Exhibit B – Detail Warrants for Payment and represented on Exhibit A - Warrant Summary Demand under Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions section that details all wire and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. These serve as the basis of support of the City’s Management Controls and serves as representations that the Warrant Summary Demands are fairly presented.

The City utilizes resolutions for approving warrants for payment in accordance with Section 3-2.06 of the Municipal Code regarding Warrants for Payments. Exhibit A - Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH transactions serves as a Management Control for complying with Section 3-2.06. Exhibit A serves as evidence of Internal Controls utilized by City Finance staff that support these Management Controls for payments made by the City. These controls are carried out through the submission of all required

documents supporting the invoices submitted for payment. Prior to payment, the Finance staff reviews all disbursement documents to ensure that they meet the approval requirements.

DISCUSSION:

A - PAYMENT APPROVAL - Pursuant to paragraph 37202 of the California Government Code, demands (called Warrant Demand) against the City for payment shall be audited and thereafter submitted to the City Council for approval or rejection prior to payment, either separately or in a register of audited demands and shall have attached thereto affirmation of the City Treasurer and City Finance Director certifying the accuracy of the demands and the availability of funds for payment. This is accomplished using:

A1 - Warrants Registers or checks certified or approved by the City Treasurer and Finance Director as conforming to authorized expenditures set forth in the City Council adopted City Budget.

A1.1 Prepayments – pre-paying allows the City to take advantage of allowable prompt payment discounts and make payments on due dates of invoices. This involves the issuance of checks prior to final warrant approval. Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions are made using a network that electronically moves money between the City’s bank accounts to a payee’s bank account. This is reflected in the Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions as Accounts Payable prepaid warrants for payment. Wire Transfer is a method of electronic funds transfer from the City of Maywood to one person or organization (payrolls and fees for electronic transfers).

A1.2 Regular Payment – To avoid late fees for payments made beyond due dates of invoices, checks are prepared prior to final warrant approval by the City Council. This is reflected in the Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions as Accounts Payable regular warrants for payment. After City Council approval, the checks are signed and distributed.

B - DOCUMENTATION – The City uses a Management Control by producing a summary document (Exhibit A - Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH transactions) that represents the cash disbursements required and the City uses an Internal Control by producing a detailed document (Exhibit B – Detail Warrants for Payment) that details information about each check issued for Prepaids and or to-be-paid for Regular Payments. These “disbursements” are accounted for in the FY 2021-22 budget.

B1 – SUMMARY WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT AND WIRE TRANSFERS/ACH TRANSACTIONS provide an accounting of the Accounts Payable Registers, wire transfers (method of electronic funds transfer from the City of Maywood to one person or organization), and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions.

B2 – DETAIL WARRANTS FOR PAYMENTS provides the detailed information of approved payments made to the City's vendors and contractors by check number, identification of prepaid, date of warrant, vendor name, check amount, transaction description, and fund source. Wire transfers also enable the City to send electronic funds to the bank accounts of the City's vendors and contractors. The warrant registers, wire transfers, and net payrolls reflect the financial obligations of the City for the above-referenced dates.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Total warrants, transfers, and wires issued (net of any voided payments) during the period of June 14th through July 1st of 2022 are $606,012.51

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: ANTHONY RAINEY, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT FROM JULY 2021 - MAY 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report from July 2021 – May 2022 for Fiscal Year 2021/2022.

BACKGROUND:

In an effort to maintain transparency, the City’s Finance Department prepares a monthly Revenue report for the City Council’s review. The Revenue Report is a tool used by the Council to monitor and oversee the financial health of the City.

DISCUSSION:

The total revenue received from July 2021 – May 2022 – see the last row in Column B - Current Fiscal Year to Date Revenue - totaled $20,436,498.43, that is 18.65% higher than the same period last fiscal year. The month of May represents 92% of Fiscal Year 2021/2022 that has transpired. From a “Projected Revenue” to “Actual Revenue” comparative perspective, the percentages in Column H - % of FY 2021-2022 YTD Revenue Received of the Revenue Report provide a benchmark to assess the City’s revenue trend against 92%.  GENERAL FUND - The total General Fund – see the row entitled General Fund Revenue Totals - received totaled $11,990,464.77 (Column B) which is 5.59% lower than the same period last year (Column E). This decrease is due to the CARES Act Reimbursements (see the column entitled “Miscellaneous”) that the City received during the last fiscal year that was a one time revenue from the Federal Government that was provided to municipalities to offset the adverse fiscal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, there is a 33.13% decrease in Cannabis Sales Tax (see the column entitled “Taxes”) compared to the same period during the prior fiscal year.  SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - The total Special Revenue Fund received totaled $8,446,033.66 (Column B) that is 86.71% higher than the same period last fiscal year. The contributing factor for the difference in Special Revenue Fund is due to the payment received from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 – the acronym ARPA - depicted in the row entitled Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. The Local Fiscal Recovery Fund is intended support municipalities in their efforts to mitigate the fiscal effects created by the public health emergency caused by COVID-19. The first of two installments were received in the

amount of $3,226,257 and the second and final installment is expected to be received in one year. The use of these funds is restricted to “one-time” and not “on-going” expenditures. The row entitled Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) has some pending reimbursements.

Overall July 2021 through May 2022 represents 92% of the Fiscal Year and the City's Total Revenues (see the last row under Column H) are at 105.44% of the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 projected revenues.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact involved with this item.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: SHIRLEY QUINONES, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT/DEPUTY CITY CLERK SUBJECT: RECONSIDERATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE COVID-19 STATE OF

EMERGENCY AND DETERMINE THAT THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD

MEETINGS VIA TELECONFERENCING AND MAKING FINDINGS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(e)(3).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a motion finding that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members of the City’s legislative bodies to meet safely in person, and that State and County of Los Angeles officials continue to recommend residents to get vaccinated and continue the measures to promote social distancing and therefore, the legislative body meetings of the City shall continue in a virtual teleconference format in compliance with Government Code Section 54953(e).

BACKGROUND:

The City Council has met remotely throughout the pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. Since the June 22, 2022 City Council meeting when this item was discussed, the highly infectious BA.2 subvariant and sub-lineages has driven the increase in COVID-19 case and the factual circumstances exist for the City's legislative bodies to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB361.

DISCUSSION:

Since the beginning of the year, there have been several COVID-19 variants, including the Delta variant, the Omicron variant (which was prevalent in the beginning of the year), and the subvariant BA2, which is sometimes referred to as the "stealth omicron" and is a subvariant of Omicron. In addition, there are two new Omicron strains (BA.4 and BA.5) that have become dominant nationwide. Because of that, Los Angeles County’s coronavirus case rate is at its highest point in nearly five months.

With the start of summer, the number of coronavirus cases has significantly increased and Los Angeles County is averaging 5,189 cases a day. If the trend continues, Los Angeles County would be on track to move into the high COVID-19 community level and will, as a result, see a return of the universal mask order for indoor settings.

The CDC placed 34 California counties at the high COVID-19 community level. For the past 14 days, there have been 134 new cases in Maywood.

To that end, the State of California and the County of Los Angeles have continued to recommend measures to promote social distancing. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health still requires that employers provide training on the effectiveness of physical distancing in the workplace. Cal OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards continue to recognize the importance of social distancing and state that the fact that particles

containing the virus can travel more than six feet, especially indoors, training and instruction should be given to employees in that regard as well as inform that physical distancing, face coverings, increased ventilation indoors, and respiratory protection decrease the spread of COVID-19 and are most effective when used in combination.

Based on the additional research conducted since the last City Council meeting, the factual circumstances exist for the City’s legislative bodies to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361.

The flexibility of a virtual format will allow the continuation of the City’s business so that Council meetings would not have to be cancelled should members have health concerns or are sick and would provide the flexibility for each member of a legislative body to determine for themselves based on their own health matters whether attending a meeting will be a risk to their health and safety or that of the other attendees. By reconsidering the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic and finding that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person, and that state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, the public meetings of the City can continue to be conducted by teleconference (i.e. Zoom) for the next 30 days pursuant to Section 54953(e)(3).

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact if the City Council makes the determination under AB 361 as the City has been meeting in a remote format since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: KAREN INIGUEZ, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ANALYST
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 22-02 FOR FIRST READING ADDING ARTICLE 6 TO TITLE 6 OF CHAPTER 2 OF THE MUNICPAL CODE REGARDING

SINGLE USE FOODWARE ACCESSORIES AND STANDARD CONDIMENTS RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council read Ordinance No. 22-02 "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Maywood Adding Article 6 (Single-Use Foodware Accessories and Standard Condiments) to Title 6, Chapter 2 of the Municipal Code" by title only, waive further reading and introduce Ordinance No. 22-02.

BACKGROUND:

Assembly Bill (AB) 1276 (Carrillo) amended an existing law regulating plastic straws and was signed by Governor Newsom in October 2021. The legislation expanded on the prior “straws on request only” law, expanding it to also include single-use cutlery, condiment packs and chopsticks. This law prohibits a food facility from providing any single-use food ware accessory or standard condiment to customers unless it is requested specifically by the customer, as well as bundling or packaging foodware accessories or condiments.

In continuation, it also prohibits a third-party delivery platform from providing these accessories to consumers unless specifically requested by the consumer.

DISCUSSION:

The goal of AB1276 is to reduce the use of waste that is generated by all single-use food service products by changing the Public Resource Code in the area of single-use food accessories and standard condiments.

AB1276 focuses on the inclusion of single-use food accessories and prohibits a food facility or a third-party food delivery platform from providing these accessories to consumers unless they are specifically requested by the consumer. Under AB1276, bundling and packaging foodware accessories or condiments is prohibited. The consumer must request the specific foodware or condiment they would like, and they must be given the foodware as it was requested. Self-serve stations that have access to disposable foodware and condiments are still allowed as long all the items are provided separately and they are not bundled together.

Preparation and execution of AB1276 would come at no cost to the City and would not impact businesses financially. This law would financially help businesses in the long run as they would be able to cut down on disposable foodware accessories. Customers might feel impacted because they now need to request

disposable foodware accessories or condiments when also ordering through online third-party food delivery platforms.

Food facilities that are expected to comply under AB1276 include restaurants, take-out food delivery services, coffee shops, caterers, cafeterias, grocery stores, delis, event venue concessions, mobile food vendors, and certified farmers' markets.

Facilities that are not expected to comply under AB1276 include residential care facilities as well as public and private school cafeterias, health care facilities, and Correctional facilities.

A food facility may offer the consumer through a drive-through and walk-through, a single-use foodware accessory. The single-use foodware accessory can be offered to the consumer if it is deemed necessary for the consumer to consume ready-to-eat food, to prevent spills or to safely transport ready-to-eat food.

Food facilities and third-party food delivery platforms that do not comply with this regulation may be subject to a fine. City enforcement will begin once the ordinance is effective and staff will respond to any reported violations. The first and second violations will result in a notice of violation. Any subsequent violations will result in a twenty-five dollar ($25) fine per day for each violation, but not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300) annually.

Environmental Review
AB1276 helps with the reduction of the amount of plastic waste that is being generated by Californians. Many of these items end up in our landfills or they result in non-biodegradable pollution, entering our creeks and into our oceans. Plastic pollution is an on-going global issue that continues to affect California’s beaches, scenic routes, riverbanks, etc.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the City due to adopting the proposed Ordinance.

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: KAREN INIGUEZ, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ANALYST
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL

SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MUNICIPAL WASTE SOLUTIONS TO INCREASE THE COMPENSATION BY $16,500 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 AND AMEND THE

AGREEMENT TO REVISE THE SCOPE OF SERVICES AND INCREASE THE COMPENSATION BY $15,500 PER YEAR FOR THE REMAINING TERM FOR AN ANNUAL NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $60,500.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Municipal Waste Solutions (MWS) to increase the compensation by $16,500 for fiscal year 2021-2022, amend the scope of services and increase the annual compensation for the remaining term for a not to exceed annual amount of $60,500 in the form finalized and approved by the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND:

On February 13, 2019, the City entered into an agreement for an amount to not exceed $45,000 a year with the consultant, Municipal Waste Solutions (MWS) for Solid Waste Consulting and Management Services. This agreement was due to the City's desire to hire a consultant to ensure that the City and the City's waste hauler was complying with all State mandates for solid waste and recycling services. Now with the implementation of Senate Bill (SB(1383 (Organic Recycling), the City needs to expand the scope of work to include oversight and program implementation for the recycling of organic waste.

On April 27, 2022, the City of Maywood was awarded the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant which is awarded to cities to assist with implementing an organics program.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed amendment will update the scope of services for MWS; which includes an Action Plan that oversees the implementation of Cal Recycle SB1383. The Action Plan: a) discusses Mandatory Commercial Recycling and Organics Recycling, b) reviews program requirements, c) provides ongoing SB1383 oversight and d) provides for City liaison services. This new scope of services increases the annual budget by $15,500 for each of the remaining fiscal years. The $15,500 will allow for MWS to continue to execute the mandatory California Legislation requirements involving solid waste and recycling for the City.

To offset the cost increase, the City applied for and was awarded the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program to use the grant funds for the City’s Consultant SB1383 Implementation services. The grant was

designed specifically for the implementation of SB1383 and will help pay for the new scope of services that MWS will provide for the fiscal years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The tasks carrying out these scope of services include but are not limited to i) overseeing enforcement, ii) researching, iii) compiling data, iv) submitting information for the Capacity Plan, v) coordination with SB1383 education and outreach workshops, and vi) any other tasks that are required by the implementation process called for in the Action Plan.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed agreement and approved as to form FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding to appropriate $16,500 from Fund 01 - General Fund from Fiscal Year of 2021-2022. The Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program is anticipated to be awarded at $40,025 over fiscal years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The funding source will be allocated from one-third of Fund 38 Local Fiscal Recovery Fund and two-thirds of the Fund 01 - General Fund department 645 Building and Planning under Account 5430 Contractual Services.

Subject: Proposal for Solid Waste & Recycling Consulting Services SB 1383 Action Plan Implementation and Ongoing SB 1383 Services Dear Jennifer;
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that Municipal Waste Solutions (MWS) provides the City of Maywood with this Proposal for Solid Waste & Recycling Consulting Services to oversee the implementation of the SB 1383 Action Plan (Proposal). Having worked in the solid waste consulting and contract management industry for over 30 years, and with the City of Maywood for the last three years, we feel our services are well suited for the City of Maywood, particularly with compliance in the midst of California Legislation relating to solid waste and recycling such as AB 939, AB 341, AB 1826, SB 1383 and other related legislation. Attached you will find our Proposal and Statement of Qualifications.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This Proposal is to assist in implementing the City’s SB 1383 Action Plan (Exhibit II) in response to the CalRecycle Notice of Program Gaps. With the recent CalRecycle Review of Maywood’s Implementation of AB 1826 - Mandatory Organic Recycling (MORe) program deficiencies, it is crucial to promptly address the program gaps as outlined in the Revised Action Plan’s timeline submitted to CalRecycle. The Revised Action Plan Timeline was approved by CalRecycle and the implementation will be closely monitored for the next 12 – 18 months as stated in the June 25, 2020 Letter (Exhibit III). If adequate progress to address the gaps is not achieved, the City will be notified and referred to the JCU for investigation which could result in a Compliance Oder and fines of up to $10,000 per day. In addition to enforcement, there are various Commercial Food Generator, Edible Food Recovery & Self Hauler records and reports that the City is required to review and maintain to ensure compliance as well as specific City reporting requirements.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS

SUSAN CONTRERAS
Municipal Waste Solutions (MWS) is owned and operated by Susan Contreras since 2013. Mrs.

Contreras has been involved in recycling and solid waste management in California since 1991 and the inception of the California Integrated Waste Management Act working for Emcon Associates, Inc. and assisting in the Recycling Plan development for over 32 municipalities. Mrs. Contreras also assisted RIS and Huls Environmental Management in the preparation of waste characterizations, spreadsheets and conducting research to finalize the development of Recycling Plans required by Assembly Bill 939. MWS has worked with many jurisdictions on compliance implementation and oversight to meet CalRecycle AB 341 (MCR) and AB 1826 (MORe) requirements.

Mrs. Contreras is currently providing consulting services for the cities of Maywood, Huntington Park, La Puente, Lynwood Unified School District and performing the following project work for each city:

City of Huntington Park February 2020 - Current
MWS developed an action plan to address the Program Gaps identified by CalRecycle. The necessary tasks to close program gaps within the State’s desired timeline were determined as well as enforcement methods to compel participation. In addition to managing the City’s Used Oil and Beverage Container Grants, MWS has written the City's Organics Ordinance and provides oversight.

City of El Monte December 2004 to 2016; May, 2020- Current May, 2020 - Current
MWS provides support services to the Environmental Services Department to ensure Hauler and CalRecycle Compliance. In addition, MWS Services has been retained to review the hauler franchise agreement and reports to estimate the financial value to determine a starting point in negotiations on an extension as well as to review the Hauler delinquent Accounts tax roll process.

Municipal Waste Solutions, P.O. Box 2045, Blue Jay, CA 92317 (909)-234-9099 Page 7 December 2004 to 2016;
Beginning in 2004, in partnership with Huls Environmental, Mrs. Contreras coordinated the structure and transition of the residential waste and recycling service to two exclusive haulers and continued to monitor the Franchise compliance. In 2007-2008, Mrs. Contreras was instrumental in coordinating the structure and transition of the Commercial, Multi-Family and Temporary Services routes into an equitable split amongst four haulers with seven Franchise Agreements. Continuous monitoring of the haulers was performed to insure compliance with the Franchise Agreements. In addition, two comprehensive compliance and performance audits were conducted on all seven existing franchise agreements and have uncovered & recouped over $1.5 million dollars due to the city. Beginning in 2009, Mrs. Contreras went in-house to fully manage the City’s Environmental Services Department as well as the HHW Facility, the Beverage Container and Used Oil Grant Programs.

Tasks and projects conducted by MWS include:
 Hauler Franchise Compliance, Management and Municipal Code Enforcement  Comprehensive Hauler Audits uncovering over $1.5 million dollars  Programs for Construction & Demolition Debris
 Hauler Contract Negotiations and Transition Oversight  Recycling Diversion Programs and AB 341, SB 32 and AB 939 Compliance & Reporting  Used Oil Recycling Grant and Beverage Container Grant Management  Household Hazardous Waste Facility Management
City of Maywood December 2016 to Current
MWS was contracted in December 2016 to bring the City of Maywood into compliance with CalRecycle’s Compliance Order and Mandates as well as filing quarterly and annual CalRecycle reports. As a result, we were able to substantially reduce penalties and extend the timeframe for compliance. MWS drafted the Revised C&D Ordinance in 2017 to comply with CalRecycle and CalGreen and drafted the Mandatory Recycling Ordinance which was implemented in January, 2019.

In addition, MWS conducted a performance review of the then contracted hauler and due to default, evaluated proposals in response to an RFP as well as performed oversight of the transitioning and performance of the new hauler. MWS also obtained and administrated the annual Beverage MWS is currently in the process of drafting the City's Organics Ordinance and providing Organic Recycling Program implementation oversight.

Municipal Waste Solutions, P.O. Box 2045, Blue Jay, CA 92317 (909)-234-9099 Page 8 Container Grants and Expenditure Reports. In addition, as a result of low participation in the Organics Program, MWS developed an action plan to address these Program Gaps identified by CalRecycle. The necessary tasks to close program gaps within the State’s desired timeline were determined as well as enforcement methods to compel participation.

City of La Puente June 2015 to Current
In 2015, MWS was contracted in La Puente to further prepare and implement the City’s SRRE and HHWE. MWS maintains and monitors both elements and prepares all reports required by CalRecycle. The disposal tonnage is analyzed and reported to CalRecycle as the City is bordered by Unincorporated LA County and 50% of their waste reported to the DRS is mis-allocated which affects compliance. MWS has been successful in assisting the City in achieving compliance with CalRecycle. The franchised hauler’s performance and compliance with their contract and CalRecycle mandates is monitored and reviewed. In addition, as a result of low participation in the Organics Program, MWS developed an action plan to address the Program Gaps identified by CalRecycle.

The necessary tasks to close program gaps within the State’s desired timeline were determined as well as enforcement methods to compel participation. MWS is currently drafting the City's Organic Recycling Ordinance and providing Organic Recycling Program implementation oversight.

Lynwood Unified School District June 2015 to Current
In 2016, MWS began working with the Lynwood Unified School District to bring them into compliance with State Environmental Laws by developing a benchmark of solid waste output, recyclable materials, recycling program recommendations and diversion program development and implementation. MWS developed and managed a Request for Proposal process which resulted in selecting a qualified solid waste and recycling company to implement the recycling programs.

City of Lynwood May 2014 to December, 2019
Beginning in 2014, MWS setup and initiated the Administrative Program and developed required City and State Reports for AB 939 Compliance. In addition, MWS manages and monitors compliance by the waste hauler with the terms of their Franchise Agreement to ensure compliance of the terms and conditions contained in the Franchise Agreement and Compliance with CalRecycle. During the initial Comprehensive Audit, MWS uncovered and recouped $1,500,000 due to the City. Currently, MWS is assisting the City and Hauler with programs to increase diversion and participation with mandatory recycling and organics diversion programs as well as administrating CalRecycle Grants.

Municipal Waste Solutions, P.O. Box 2045, Blue Jay, CA 92317 (909)-234-9099 Page 9 City of Bell August 2012 to August 2014
In August of 2012, Mrs. Contreras began auditing the hauler transition for the City of Bell and reviewing the Prop 218 requirement. In addition, she reviewed all hauler reporting and payments for accuracy and compliance and ensured AB939 and AB341 compliance and reporting. Due to her work on this contract, the City achieved the goal to become more self-sufficient in overseeing the hauler activities.

Dear Mr. Mango,
We are writing regarding the status of CalRecycle’s review of whether the City of Maywood is complying with meeting AB 939 requirements. Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 41825 specifies a schedule for this review and requires CalRecycle to make a finding of whether or not each jurisdiction complies with PRC Section 41780 during the review period. Additionally, both AB 341 and AB 1826 specifically authorize CalRecycle to conduct reviews of mandatory commercial recycling programs (PRC Section 42649.3(h)) and/or mandatory commercial organics recycling programs (PRC Section 42649.82(g)(2)) at any time. These laws require that your Jurisdiction conducts education, outreach, and monitoring activities annually to covered businesses and multifamily dwellings and provides an update to CalRecycle each reporting year. AB 1826 also requires that each jurisdiction address other activities, such as infrastructure, etc., and report that annually to CalRecycle. As a result of this review the City of Maywood was found to be deficient in implementing its Mandatory Commercial Recycling (MCR) and the Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling (MORe) program.

Since being informed of the program gaps, your City submitted a strategy to adequately address the gaps as indicated in the Request For Approval dated June 16, 2020.  Develop new long term exclusive hauler agreement to ensure the MCR and MORe program can be extended to all regulated businesses.
 Adopt an ordinance that requires covered businesses to participate in MCR and MORe collection services and that includes enforcement provisions. The jurisdiction has also provided a date by which enforcement would be implemented after a period of education and outreach about the requirements.
 Require Franchise Hauler to provide recycling and/or organics collection services to all covered businesses that require service(s).
 Identification of businesses that self-haul. Establish method of data collection and monitoring of self-haulers.
 Provide MCR and MORe services automatically to all covered businesses. The jurisdiction has provided a date by when containers would be delivered.

EXHIBIT III

 Review of current MCR and MORe programs to ensure effective follow up with those not recycling and that education and outreach materials are up to date.  Identify food recovery services/opportunities, and conduct outreach to edible food generators to connect them with food recovery services/organizations.

CalRecycle staff will begin monitoring implementation based on the jurisdiction’s submitted plan timeline to ensure that the program gaps are fully addressed. During that time, if the jurisdiction is not making adequate progress to address the gaps, the City will be notified and the program will be referred to the Jurisdiction Compliance Unit (JCU) for investigation.

We appreciate the City’s attention to fully addressing the program gaps. Should you have any questions, please contact Melissa Gomez at [email protected] or at (562) 595 – 1950.

Sincerely,

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL
To: Matt Henigan, Deputy Director
Materials Management and Local Assistance Division
From: Cara Morgan, Branch Chief
Local Assistance and Market Development
Request Date: May 19, 2020
Decision Subject: Compliance Investigation Results Regarding the Implementation of Mandatory Commercial Recycling (MCR) and/or Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling (MORe) Programs for the Jurisdictions listed in Attachment 1.

Action By: June 16, 2020
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of Request:

A key component in maintaining the success of the Mandatory Commercial Recycling (MCR) and Mandatory Organics Recycling (MORe) laws is CalRecycle's role in overseeing how well jurisdictions are implementing these programs. Pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 42649.3(g) and 42649.82((g)(1), CalRecycle reviews each jurisdiction’s compliance with these laws as part of the reviews required by PRC Section 41825. Additionally, CalRecycle may evaluate at any time whether a jurisdiction is in compliance with these two laws pursuant to PRC Sections 42649.3(h) and 42649.82(g)(2).

In January 2017, CalRecycle’s Director sent a letter to all jurisdictions informing them of the “At Any Time Review” process. The process specifies that if staff identifies a gap in how a jurisdiction is implementing the requirements of either of these laws, then:
• Staff will inform the jurisdiction that a formal Letter of Concern from CalRecycle to the jurisdiction is coming. Once the letter is received, the jurisdiction will have 30 days to respond.
• After CalRecycle receives the jurisdiction’s response to the letter, or lack thereof, an agenda item for approval by CalRecycle’s MMLA Deputy Director will be presented at a CalRecycle monthly public meeting. The agenda item will indicate one of three potential staff recommendations:

1. The jurisdiction failed to respond and staff recommends that the jurisdiction be referred to CalRecycle’s enforcement unit for consideration of a compliance order; or

2. The jurisdiction’s response to the letter is inadequate and staff recommends that the jurisdiction be referred to the enforcement unit for consideration of a compliance order; or

3. The jurisdiction’s response to the letter is adequate and staff recommends that the program be monitored. However, if the same gaps still persist within the next

year, an agenda item that refers the jurisdiction to the Jurisdiction Compliance unit for consideration of a compliance order will be presented at CalRecycle’s next monthly public meeting.

This Request for Approval addresses Local Assistance and Market Development (LAMD) staff’s review finding that 27 jurisdictions have significant gaps in program implementation for MCR and/or MORe. These gaps were determined during LAMD staff’s annual review of each jurisdiction. LAMD staff informed each of these jurisdictions of the identified program gaps, sent them a Letter of Concern, and gave them 30 days to submit a response that explained how they would address the program gaps. All of the jurisdictions responded with appropriate information.

LAMD staff will also closely monitor each of these jurisdictions over the next 12-18 months. If at any time during this period LAMD staff finds that any of these jurisdictions have not made adequate progress on implementing the plans that they submitted to CalRecycle, then they will be referred immediately to JCU. JCU will then conduct an independent investigation and consider whether a compliance order should be issued.

Jurisdictions that fail to satisfy the conditions of a subsequent compliance order may be subject to a fine of up to $10,000 per day.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that it be determined that the jurisdictions noted in Attachment 1 have submitted adequate plans and that they be monitored over the next 12-18 months. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deputy Director Action:

Based on the information and analysis in this Request for Action and the findings set out above, I hereby approve the recommendation that these jurisdictions have submitted adequate responses in accordance with the “At Any Time Review Process” and that they will not be referred to JCU at this time. I direct staff to further monitor all of these jurisdictions over the next 12-18 months. If, at any time during this period, any jurisdiction is found to not be fully implementing its plan to address the identified gaps, that jurisdiction will be referred to JCU for consideration of whether a compliance order should be issued.

Dated: 6/16/2020

Attachment 1 contains a listing of the Jurisdictions referenced in this Request for Approval.

Background Information
Over the past several years, the Legislature and Governor have set ambitious goals to increase recycling and reduce solid waste disposal, in part driven by associated greenhouse gas emission reductions. In particular, Assembly Bill 341 set a goal of reducing landfill disposal by 75 percent by 2020 and established MCR requirements, and Assembly Bill 1826 established MORe requirements. The purpose of MCR and MORe is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting commercial solid waste to recycling efforts and to expand the opportunity for additional recycling services and recycling manufacturing facilities in California. PRC sections 42649 and 42649.8 et seq. requires each jurisdiction to implement a mandatory commercial solid waste recycling and organics recycling program appropriate for that jurisdiction. The program is to be designed to divert commercial solid waste from regulated businesses, whether or not the jurisdiction has met the requirements of PRC section 41780. Each jurisdiction is also required to report its progress achieved in implementing the MCR and MORe laws, including education and outreach, identification, monitoring, and if applicable, enforcement efforts, by providing updates in the annual report required by PRC Sections 41821.

Statute requires CalRecycle to review whether a jurisdiction has complied with, or made a good faith effort to comply with, the requirements of the MCR and MORe laws. For purposes of this evaluation, “good faith effort” means all reasonable and feasible efforts by a jurisdiction to implement its commercial recycling program in accordance with the MCR and MORe laws (See PRC Sections 42649.3(i) and 42649.82(h)). CalRecycle may also evaluate whether a jurisdiction is in compliance at any time CalRecycle receives information the jurisdiction has not implemented, or is not making a good faith effort, to implement its mandatory commercial recycling and mandatory commercial organics recycling programs (See PRC section 42649.3(h) and 42649.82(g)(2)).

In determining compliance with this requirement, CalRecycle’s evaluation may include, but is not limited to, the following factors:
• The extent to which businesses have implemented recycling programs; • The recovery rate of the commercial waste from the material recovery facilities that are utilized by the businesses;
• The extent to which the jurisdiction is conducting education and outreach to businesses; and
• The extent to which the jurisdiction is monitoring businesses, and notifying those businesses that are out of compliance.
• The availability of markets for collected recyclables. • Budgetary constraints.
• In the case of rural jurisdictions, the effects of small geographic size, low population density, or distance to markets.

As a result of its review, CalRecycle may find that a jurisdiction:
1) has made a good faith effort to implement its MCR and/or MORe programs; or 2) has failed to adequately implement its MCR and/or MORe program and consider issuance of a compliance order. Jurisdictions that fail to satisfy the conditions of a subsequent compliance order may be subject to a fine of up to $10,000 per day.

Staff’s analysis of program implementation is based upon the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan Enforcement Policy Part II, originally adopted in August 2001 (by CalRecycle's predecessor, the California Integrated Waste Management Board) and revised in June 2015 pursuant to AB 341, AB 1826, and AB 1594. Pursuant to PRC section 41825(e)(3), staff utilizes the criteria delineated in the Enforcement Policy to determine the extent to which a jurisdiction has implemented, or has shown a good faith effort to implement, its MCR and MORe programs. The scenarios in the Enforcement Policy Part II provide illustrative criteria to serve as examples of the issues staff utilizes in examining local jurisdiction program implementation.

Findings
CalRecycle's LAMD staff extensively reviewed each jurisdiction during 2019 as a part of its annual review by conducting conference calls and on-site visits to verify program implementation and by reviewing documentation, including annual reports, hauler data, outreach and education materials, etc. This investigation determined the extent to which each jurisdiction has implemented PRC Sections 42649 et seq. and 42649.8 et seq.

As a result of reviewing each jurisdiction, LAMD staff identified program gaps for the jurisdictions identified in this Request for Approval. For these jurisdictions, staff looked at a variety of factors, including if annual monitoring was conducted, trends in regulated entity compliance rates, etc.

LAMD staff discussed these program gaps with each jurisdiction and, pursuant to the “At Any Time Review Process” described above, sent a Letter of Concern and provided each one 30 days to submit a plan to correct the gaps. Subsequently, these jurisdictions responded with information detailing how the gap(s) would be addressed.

LAMD staff will closely monitor each of these jurisdictions over the next 12-18 months. If at any time during this period LAMD staff finds that any of these jurisdictions have not made adequate progress on implementing the plans that they submitted to CalRecycle, then they will be referred immediately to JCU. JCU will then conduct an independent investigation and consider whether a compliance order should be issued. Jurisdictions that fail to satisfy the conditions of a subsequent compliance order may be subject to a fine of up to $10,000 per day.

The following is a summary of the program gaps for each of these jurisdictions. This summary also includes the information that the jurisdictions provided on how they will correct the program gaps.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: STEVE FOWLER, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6258 AMENDING THE CITY'S

CLASSIFICATION PLAN TO ADD PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT AND

ADOPTING THE SALARY RANGE FOR THIS POSITION
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution No. 6258 amending the Employee Classification Plan to add Public Works Superintendent and adopt the corresponding salary range, authorize the funding for the additional position and allocate a salary range of $64,272 - $82,029.17 plus benefits annually from the available fund balances for the salary and benefits of this position.

BACKGROUND:

It is the intent of the city staff to be efficient and customer-service-oriented. Given this goal, the City Manager is proposing the following classification: Public Works Superintendent be added to the city classification plan.

The City's Building and Planning Department oversees the orderly physical growth of the community while promoting the quality of life and safety of those who live and work in the city. Currently, the Director of Building and Planning oversees the Public Works Lead position, who oversees the public works maintenance staff and their functions for the City of Maywood. The Public Works Lead provides significant support to the City Manager and Director of Building and Planning but is not a managerial position. There is currently only one part-time support staff member that assists the Public Works Lead with these duties. Additional staff is budgeted for this division and recruitment will be conducted for a full-time position and a part-time position during this fiscal year. With this growing workforce that is responsible for construction, repair, and maintenance work in the public right of way, parks, city facilities, and vehicle maintenance, the need for a managerial position is vital. The added personnel that is budgeted for this fiscal year and the additional help we have been receiving through a training program from HUB Cities to train City of Maywood residents to work as maintenance workers have proven that a stronger leadership position is necessary to continue rebuilding this division.

DISCUSSION:

Staff is recommending the addition of a Public Works Superintendent to the employee classification plan. With the loss of our Public Works Coordinator, the addition of staff members and the growing need for public works duties, staff analyzed the needs of the division. The division is expected to move to the City Yard and a managerial type position is necessary to promote good work habits and keep the division moving forward. This position would not only oversee the crews but also be a figure that contacts our field consultants and helps to

schedule necessary work in all the fields that public works oversees. This position would also perform administrative and analytical functions in support of City programs and services. It would help to administer contracts by working with the contractors and keep records of these contracts and any future needs to assist the director with preparing the annual budget and meeting the needs of the community.

This position would supervise, evaluate and participate in the work of crews responsible for construction, repair, maintenance and operational work in Public Works maintenance units such as streets and sewers, parks, parkways, trees, landscaped areas, vehicles and equipment, building and grounds maintenance. The position ensures safe work practices, work quality and accuracy while maintaining appropriate work records, which may include time cards and work orders, and serves as a technical resource for assigned work crews and the Director of Building and Planning or the City Manager.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed to form.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The new position has a salary scale of $64,272 - $82,029.17 annually plus benefits. The funds to be utilized for this position are from Fund 04 - Gas Tax Fund, Fund 12 - Measure R, Fund 20 - Measure M and Fund 01 - General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: STEVE FOWLER, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING
SUBJECT: TO CONSIDER THE RENEWAL OF A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS RETAIL LICENSE

FOR FIREHOUSE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED DBA FIREHOUSE 365
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the application for a commercial cannabis retail license renewal for Firehouse Healthcare Industries, Incorporated dba Firehouse 365 located at 6118 Atlantic Boulevard, for a one-year term expiring on May 12, 2023, and authorize the Director of Building and Planning to notify the applicant in writing of the City Council's decision but require a 90 day review of the business to determine if any futher action is required.

BACKGROUND:

On August 28, 2019, the Maywood City Council adopted Ordinance 19-03 that changed the status of commercial cannabis uses and businesses in the City. Most significantly, the ordinance banned the issuance of any new commercial cannabis licenses. Applications that were in the process had to have received their license and conditional use permit prior to the effective date of the Ordinance. The adoption of this Ordinance also made any existing commercial cannabis business a non-conforming use subject to the provisions of Section 15.2 of Appendix C of the Zoning Code.

Ordinance 19-03 ("Ordinance") created a process for the renewal of existing licenses. The ordinance details the application renewal process by establishing requirements to determine if an application can be renewed or denied. These requirements must be met to allow the City Council to determine whether a license should be renewed, or if there are grounds for denial as set forth in Section 5-46.05 of the Maywood Municipal Code.

This process requires that the City Council determines if the cannabis entities operate lawfully. The information necessary to make this determination is provided by Hinderliter, de Llamas & Associates (“HdL”). Every year the business is inspected quarterly to determine if the business is operating in compliance with State law and the City's Ordinance. The inspection also ensures the business operates in a safe manner to protect both employees and customers at each business. Staff accompanies Hdl on these inspections to verify compliance with the approved Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Permit. These inspections with their suggested remedial actions help to ensure proper operation prior to license renewal.

As part of this renewal process HdL conducts criminal background checks on all owners, managers,

employees, contractors and volunteers, employed in Maywood’s commercial cannabis industry. All who are found to have disqualifying factors will not be permitted to work, own, manage or volunteer for a cannabis business in Maywood. HdL will also conduct a financial audit annually, which includes the verification of the tracking and tracing of the product and of matching the product with its respective transaction. This measure will detect illegal diversion or the sale of unlicensed (illegal) product, which is central to the verification of the lawful and complete remittance of the local cannabis tax.

DISCUSSION:

Firehouse 365’s Conditional Use Permit was approved on August 21, 2018. Firehouse 365 is a cannabis retailer that obtained their business license in December 2018. All audits and sales tax payments have been made.

Firehouse 365 currently operates as a brick-and-mortar dispensary with a single component; retail. They are licensed by the State of California Bureau of Cannabis Control (license #C10-0000478-LIC) as a Type 10 Retailer, and their license is valid through July 21, 2022.

Renewals per the ordinance are to be renewed annually. The renewal process began last year and is continued throughout the year with quarterly inspections and an annual audit. As a result of the adherence to the regulations, the evaluation of Firehouse's commercial cannabis license renewal application was completed.

Background Check:

Applications for two (2) owners and seven (7) employees were submitted and all background checks were subsequently cleared. Firehouse 365 is in full compliance with this requirement.

Facility Inspection:

HdL has conducted several on-site inspections since Firehouse opened, including a virtual inspection during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last (3) inspections, the business has had issues. During the October11, 2021 inspection, the inspection team found (6) six regulatory items that needed to be corrected(See attached Results of Compliance Inspection Letter) . During the March 16, 2022 inspection, the Licensed premises was still having issues with the surveillance system (See attached Results of Compliance Inspection Letter). The latest inspection was conducted on June 14, 2022 where it was discovered that a theft had taken place and was not reported to the City. City staff and a Compliance Inspector from HdL conducted all the facility inspections. In a previous inspection conducted last year, a wall was moved within the building without obtaining planning approval or permits. They have since submitted plans to address this problem but not obtained permits for the unpermitted work. As of the date of this report there were corrections to the pans that needed to be addressed.

The facility is considered to not be in full compliance.

Financial Audit:

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: STEVE FOWLER, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING
SUBJECT: TO CONSIDER THE RENEWAL OF A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS DISTRIBUTOR, AND

NON-STOREFRONT RETAILER LICENSE FOR UNIVERSAL HERBAL CENTER,

INCORPORATED DBA PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the application for a commercial cannabis distributor, and nonstorefront retail license for the renewal of Universal Herbal Center, Inc, dba Pineapple Express located at 5200 60th Street, for a one-year term expiring on May 12, 2023, and authorize the Director of Building and Planning to notify the applicant in writing of the City Council's decision. The applicant is not renewing their manufacturing license as the state license has expired.

BACKGROUND:

On August 28, 2019, the Maywood City Council adopted ordinance 19-03 that changed the status of commercial cannabis uses and businesses in the City. Most significantly, the ordinance banned the issuance of any new commercial cannabis licenses. Applications that were in the process had to have received their license and conditional use permit prior to the effective date of the Ordinance. The adoption of this Ordinance also made any existing commercial cannabis business a non-conforming use subject to the provisions of section 15.2 of Appendix C of the Zoning Code.

Ordinance 19-03 ("Ordinance") created a process for the renewal of existing licenses. The ordinance details the application renewal process by establishing requirements to determine if an application can be renewed or denied. These requirements must be met to allow the City Council to determine whether a license should be renewed, or if there are grounds for denial.

This process requires that the City Council determines if the cannabis entities operate lawfully. The information necessary to make this determination is provided by Hinderliter, de Llamas & Associates (“HdL”).

Every year the business is inspected quarterly to determine if the business is operating in compliance with State law and the City's Ordinances. The inspection also ensures the business operates in a safe manner to protect both employees and customers at each business. Staff accompanies Hdl on these inspections to verify compliance with the approved Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Permit. These inspections with their suggested remedial actions help to ensure proper operation prior to license renewal.

As part of this renewal process HdL conducts criminal background checks on all owners, managers, employees, contractors and volunteers, employed in Maywood’s commercial cannabis industry. All who are found to have disqualifying factors will not be permitted to work, own, manage or volunteer for a cannabis

business in Maywood. HdL will also conduct a financial audit annually, which includes the verification of the tracking and tracing of the product and of matching the product with its respective transaction. This measure will detect illegal diversion or the sale of unlicensed (illegal) product, which is central to the verification of the lawful and complete remittance of the local cannabis tax.

DISCUSSION:

Pineapple Express’ Conditional Use Permit was approved on August 7, 2018. Pineapple Express is a cannabis manufacturer, distributor, and non-storefront retailer that obtained their business license in August 2019. All audits and sales tax payments have been made.

Pineapple Express is currently operating and approved as a commercial cannabis distributor, and nonstorefront retailer. They are licensed by the State of California Bureau of Cannabis Control (license # C11- 0000313-LIC, and C9-0000082-LIC), as a Type 9 – Distributor, Type 11 – Non-Storefront Retailer and their two licenses are valid through June 10, 2023 and the third license is not valid as of June 12, 2022 which is (CDPH-10003451) a Type 6 Manufacturer (Non-volatile). This license is not being renewed.

Renewals per the ordinance are to be renewed annually. The renewal process began last year and is continued throughout the year with quarterly inspections and an annual audit. As a result of the adherence to the regulations, the evaluation of Pineapple Express' commercial cannabis license renewal application was completed.

Background Check:

Applications for one (1) owners and twenty-two (22) employees were submitted and all background checks were subsequently cleared. Pineapple Express is in full compliance with this requirement.

Facility Inspection:

HdL has conducted several on-site inspections since Haven opened, including a virtual inspection during the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest inspection was conducted on June 14, 2022 with City staff in attendance. City staff and a Compliance Inspector from HdL conducted a facility inspection. The inspection revealed no noncompliant issues. As a result, the facility is considered to be in full compliance.

Financial Audit:

Pineapple Express is current on all audits and sales tax payments.

In conclusion, based on the inspections, investigations and audits described in this report, Staff has determined that the business is in compliance and that none of the conditions in Section 5-46.05(b) exist and therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the renewal of the license, with the exception of the manufacturing license. The applicant is not renewing their manufacturing license as their state license has expired. Staff confirmed this information with the licensee.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed to form.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Pineapple Express pays the 10% Cannabis Sales Tax (revenue account 4238) which is directly to the City on a quarterly basis and generates State Sales Tax which is distributed from the State to the City (revenue account 4100). Both taxes collected help support the City and the services provided. All tax payments are current.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MIGUEL LEON, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

WITH HUB CITIES CAREER CENTER FOR THE MAYWOOD YOUTH WORKFORCE

PROGRAM SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement with Hub Cities Career Center to provide the Maywood Youth Workforce Program services in the form finalized and approved by the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND:

On June 03, 2022, the City of Maywood, in partnership with the Office of Planning and Research/California Volunteers, was awarded $296,000 for implementing the Maywood Youth Workforce Development Program.

As entailed in the grant conditions, the City, in association with the Hub Cities Career Center, will employ youth and early career staff members in response to the impact of food insecurity, the outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic recovery.

The workforce program will consist of two cohorts, for (25) twenty-five local youth participants ranging from 16 to 30 years old to learn essential job skills, develop career pathways, and serve their communities. The Maywood Youth Workforce Development Program will employ youth individuals in offices of the City Administration, City Clerks, Community Development, Public Works, and participation in Leadership, Educational, and Professional Development.

DISCUSSION:

The awarded grant agreement outlines a partnership with the City and Hub Cities Career Center with the primary goal of implementing the Maywood Youth Workforce Program. The categorical outcomes of the program would accelerate the City's program development and economic development and leverage public and private resource objectives. Additionally, the workforce program is structured to recruit (25) twenty-five underserved youth and provide over 220 hours of paid work experience on various career paths consisting of civic engagement, higher education development, internships, and leadership development.

The creation of a workforce program provides opportunities and job experience for local youth that is intended

to assist in restoring valuable local programs in Maywood that had to shut down or curtailed during the COVID19 pandemic. The youth participants will have the opportunity to build on an organizational infrastructure to improve its ability to reduce food insecurity and support the COVID-19 recovery.

The program objectives include the following:
 Leadership Development: participate in interactive learning and Hands-on Flight Deck and Disney’s Leadership Program. It would cultivate leadership abilities and allow youth to explore an alternative field;
 Education and Professional Workshops: 20-hour workshop module held virtually, or in person will enhance youths’ job skills and strengthen current skills;  Paid Work Experience: up to 220 hours of paid work experience to advance career preparation; this can expose participants to potential career interests within the government sector;  Higher Education: youth will participate in the exploration of informative university, Apprenticeship training, or Vocational Education paths;
 Civic Engagement: youth participants under the guidance of Hub Cities will work to create and coordinate a “Maywood Giving Back” event. Youth will develop knowledge of developing regional events, implementation, and an understanding of the region’s needs;  Future Career Pathways: receive and apply information and resources from regional job fairs and coordinate a Maywood Resource Fair;
 Graduation Ceremony and Dinner: celebrate the youth’s accomplishments to further encourage and motivate them to pursue education and/or professional paths introduced to them.

The proposed start date for the outreach and recruitment is scheduled to begin on August 1, 2022, and end on May 01, 2024. The program will include (2) two cohorts with different commencement start and end dates.

During the first cohort, active outreach and recruitment will begin and so forth for the next group. The City and Hub Cities will have ongoing meetings to implement outreach plans based on best practices in recruitment, interviews, and determination of youth eligibility for the program.

The outreach methods include program promotion, distribution, and prioritizing of the target population of the program. Priority goes to those applicants ranging from 16 to 30 years of age, and who are in Low-Income, Cal-Works, disconnected youth, and high school dropouts. The Hub Cities Career Center is well equipped to collect and provide metrics and outcomes for reporting as they have been recipients of various state and federal funds. Lastly, the scope of the proposal includes an evaluation plan that includes a pre-survey and exit survey to capture the participants' knowledge and abilities from the start to the end of the program.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with Hub Cities Career Center for the administration of the Maywood Youth Workforce Program, projects, and reporting requirements associated with the Office of Planning and Research/California Volunteers Grant.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The approval of this action has no impact on the City’s General Fund.

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MIGUEL LEON, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
SUBJECT: DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING THE SOUTHEAST LOS

ANGELES (SELA) REGIONAL YOUTH WORKFORCE PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF

MAYWOOD
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is requesting that the City Council discuss and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) Regional Youth Workforce Program.

BACKGROUND:

Hub Cities Consortium (HCC), an agency located in the City of Huntington Park, is the lead operator of the Southeast Los Angeles America’s Job Center of California (AJCC). Its mission is to advance and develop a world-class workforce by providing universal access to information and resources for job seekers and workforce development services to local job seekers and businesses, to build a strong and vibrant economy within the region.

On September 22, 2021, the City Council approved a partnership with the Hub Cities Consortium (HCC) for the establishment of the SELA Regional Youth Workforce Program (Program) in Maywood to enhance youth development in the areas of education. The program promotes long-term intervention strategies to improve basic skills, leadership, and pre-employment preparation for underserved youth in the City of Maywood that were disproportionally affected throughout the pandemic.

The Program was proposed to be a partnership with Hub-Cities to introduce (18) eighteen underserved youth to career paths, civic engagement, higher education, and leadership development, providing 20 hours of educational and professional workshops, and participants will receive (100) one hundred hours of paid work experience. It was also a program that was being considered by other SELA cities.

The Maywood workforce program included the following objectives:
 Leadership development: participation in immersive and informative excursions will cultivate leadership abilities such as decision-making skills, interpersonal skills, strong work-ethic styles, and the ability to lead projects and teams.
 Educational & Professional Workshops: 20-hour module of career and academic development workshops that promote the enhancement of youth’s current skills and knowledge;

 Paid Work Experience: up to 220 hours of paid work experience to advance career preparation; this can expose participants to potential career interests within the government sector;  Higher Education: participate in informative college and university tours and learn about vocational trades and apprenticeship pathways;
 Future Career Paths: receive and apply information and resources from regional job fairs and events;  Civic Engagement: develop and implement innovative solutions to issues affecting the SELA region; and
 Graduation Ceremony & Dinner: Celebrate youths' accomplishments to further encourage and motivate them to pursue educational and/or professional paths introduced to them.

The City's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding was allocated for the program operations. Under the ARPA guidelines, the Program is eligible as it provides Job Training Assistance and Workforce Development to improve economic development in the city and region.

DISCUSSION:

The program's timeline upon adoption was set to operate between November 1, 2021, and September 30, 2022. The program was estimated to cost $98,136, with leverage funding of $51,229 by the Hub Cities Consortium covering the additional expenses with a total cost of $149,373 to allow the participation of (18) youth in the program.

However, on June 03, 2022, the City of Maywood was awarded a grant from the Office of Planning and Research/California Volunteers to establish the Maywood Youth Workforce Program in partnership with Hub Cities Career Center to serve (25) twenty-five local youth. At the City Council's discretion, the ARPA funding allocated to the Program could be re-directed to add an additional cohort like that which will be established under the California Volunteers grant program.

Staff is seeking City Council to discuss and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) Regional Youth Workforce Program.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The approval of this action has no impact on the City’s General Fund. The estimated cost for the performance and administration of the youth workforce program is determined by the number of youths, programming, and administration fees. Any additional appropriation of (ARPA) funding (Fund 38 -Local Fiscal Recovery Fund) is subject to City Council approval for the continuation of the program.
