AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1.

DATE: January 24, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: STEVE FOWLER, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING
SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6330 TO AMEND THE CITY'S

UPDATED GENERAL PLAN BY ADDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

AND MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINE 15061(B)(3)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council, after holding a public hearing, adopt Resolution No. 6330 approving an amendment to the General Plan by adding the Environmental Justice Element and find that adoption of the resolution is exempt under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15061(b)(3).

BACKGROUND:

On April 14, 2021, the City of Maywood City Council authorized a Professional Service Agreement with a consultant, Stantec, to update the City's Housing Element which led to the need to update the City's Circulation, Safety, and Land Use Elements. The update of these elements require the creation of an Environmental Justice Element to the City's General Plan.

In 2016, the State of California passed Senate Bill 1000 Government Code Section 65302(h) (SB 1000) adding an Environmental Justice (EJ) element to municipal general plans. Communities must identify whether they have environmental justice (or “disadvantaged communities”) within their jurisdiction and, if disadvantaged communities are identified, develop an Environmental Justice element, or incorporate Environmental Justice into their other general plan elements. This requirement went into effect in 2018 and applies when a community updates two or more of its general plan elements. The other elements were approved by the Maywood City Council at the November 23, 2023 City Council meeting by approving Resolution 6327. The Environmental Justice Element needed additional review so it is being presented to the City Council separately at this City Council meeting.

General Plans are typically updated approximately every 10 to 20 years to set a vision for the future direction and growth for a City. The City last updated the proposed elements of the General Plan in 1989 and 2007.

DISCUSSION:

This is the City of Maywood’s first Environmental Justice (EJ) Element. The purpose of an EJ element is to address public health and other environmental issues for the vulnerable populations in EJ communities. These populations have long borne the brunt of inequitable policies. California Government Code Section 65040.12 works to minimize adverse effects of environmental hazards on populations most at risk of harm and create a healthy environment for all groups, again with a particular focus on improving health outcomes of

disadvantaged populations. The purpose of EJ policies is to reduce impacts on populations experiencing adverse environmental affects, ensure equitable access to services and facilities, promote meaningful community engagement from those populations in municipal government and its decision-making process, and improve public health outcomes.

Under SB 1000, a disadvantaged community is one that is identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency under pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code and/or an area that is a low-income area that is disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and/or other hazards that can lead to negative health impacts, exposure, or environmental degradation. Low-income areas are defined as those areas with household incomes at or below 80% of the statewide median income or household incomes at or below the low-income threshold identified by the Department of Housing and Community Development’s list of state income levels adopted pursuant to Section 50093.

There are several indicators that can be used to identify or corroborate the presences of disadvantaged communities. These indicators include educational attainment, employment levels, housing cost burdened lowincome households, linguistic isolation, poverty, race and ethnicity, single-parent households, citizenship, violent crime rates, and voter participation – both among residents eligible to vote and the share of residents ineligible to vote. Given the City of Maywood’s demographics and proximity to sources of pollution (industrial areas and freeway), the entire City of Maywood qualifies for prioritization of disadvantaged communities. The entire City of Maywood is considered a disadvantaged community based on three identification methods based on statutory language in Government Code section 65302(h). Other indicators of a disadvantaged community are demographics, exposure to pollution and environmental hazards, health indicators, As part of the process of creating the EJ element community outreach was conducted. This happened throughout the General Plan update, which ran from 2021 to 2023, the Maywood community was consulted using a variety of methods and approaches. All materials were prepared in English and Spanish, and the three general plan workshops were bilingual with the presentation and materials presented in both languages. By far, the most successful outreach activities were asking open-ended questions of residents already participating in other community events. Over the course of the project, hundreds of comment cards were handed out at events like Trunk or Treat, tree planting events, the National Night Out/Take Back The Night, holiday celebrations, the health resource fair, and the mobile food pantry. Project posters and fliers were also available and posted at these events, but residents strongly preferred the open-ended comment cards, and nobody wrote on any of the posters. Comment cards were also available at City Hall and Library. In all, city staff passed out comment cards at more than a dozen local events.

In addition to public engagement, members of the project team met regularly with other municipal officials and shared regular progress reports. Coordination meetings were held with other consultants working with the City as well as with several community groups and advocacy organizations including the YMCA, East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice, and Amigos de los Rios.

This element seeks to address environmental justice through a set of comprehensive goals, policies, and programs aimed at increasing the influence of target populations in the public decision-making process and reducing their exposure to environmental hazards. The element will be used by the Maywood City Council and the Planning Commission, other boards, commissions and agencies, developers, and the public in planning for the physical development of the City. As a General Plan element, the Environmental Justice Element is closely linked to the remainder of the General Plan and carries equal weight with the other General Plan elements. The City of Maywood’s Environmental Justice Plan is organized into sections:
• Reduce Exposure to Pollution (Including Improved Air Quality); • Promote Public Facilities;
• Promote Food Access;
• Promote Safe and Sanitary Homes;
• Promote Physical Activity;
• Reduce Unique or Compound Health Risks, Not Otherwise Addressed; • Promote Civic Engagement in the Public Decision-Making Process; and

• Prioritize Improvements and Programs to Address Community Needs.

Each of these sections identifies one or more goals and several planning policies to support the goal. These goals and policies were developed with community input and reflect the needs identified through the planning process. Below are the goals for the EJ element with the number of policies. These policies educate, encourage, and minimize impacts among other active efforts. • Land Use Compatibility: Minimize exposure to pollution with a particular focus on improving outdoor and indoor air quality using planning and educational approaches. There are nineteen (19) policies related to this goal.
• Promote Public Facilities: Ensure equitable distribution and access of high-quality public facilities throughout Maywood. There are fourteen (14) polices related to this goal. • Promote Food Access: Expand access to healthy food options and reduce the number of residents experiencing food insecurity. There are nine (9) policies related to this goal. • Promote Safe and Sanitary Homes: Expand access to safe and sanitary homes, bring substandard units into compliance with the building code and health and safety regulations. There are eight (8) policies related to this goal.
• Promote Physical Activity Goal is: Provide opportunities for residents to easily incorporate physical activity into their daily lives. There are 24 policies with this goal. • Reduce Unique or Compound Health Risks Not Otherwise Addressed: Reduce the debilitating impact that poverty has on individuals, families, and community health and well-being. There are nine (9) policies related to this goal.
• Promote Civic Engagement in the Public Decision-Making Process: Increase civic engagement in Maywood, build public trust and ownership of public actions by bringing residents from across the community into the city’s social fabric. Increase participation rates in community events including voting, youth activities, adult education, senior activities, and family-oriented programs. There are sixteen (16) policies related to this goal.
• Prioritize Improvements and Programs to Address Community Needs: Improve support networks and program offerings, increase economic and social opportunity for Maywood residents. There are five (5) policies related to this goal.

All these goals and policies are tied in with other elements within the General Plan. They all work to provide a vision for the future of the City of Maywood.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no fiscal impacts related to this action. The funding for this part of the General Plan amendment is from a Senate Bill (SB2) Grant.

UPDATED GENERAL PLAN TO ADD THE EVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ELEMENT AND MAKING A FINDING Of

EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINE 15061 (B)(3).

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, the State of California requires that cities and counties adopt a comprehensive longterm General Plan for the physical development of the City; and WHEREAS, the State of California requires the City of Maywood to have a General Plan that contains certain mandatory elements for all jurisdictions which include the land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, and safety elements. These elements are mandated elements listed in Government Code section 65302; and WHEREAS, the State of California in 2016 passed Senate Bill 1000 amending the Government Code to add Section 65302(h) “SB 1000” requiring cities to add an Environmental Justice Element to its General Plan, when two or more elements are updated; and
WHEREAS, the City initiated an update to the Safety, Circulation, and Land Use Elements of the City of Maywood General Plan when the mandated 6th Cycle Housing Element update was being updated. This also required the City to create an Environmental Justice Element to the General Plan. The elements are required to be internally consistent with the other elements; and
WHEREAS, public outreach regarding the updated elements was conducted throughout the drafting process of the documents at events such as health fairs, National Night out, General Plan workshop as well as a workshop held during a Planning Commission meeting; and WHEREAS, on January 24, 2024, the City Council of the City of Maywood conducted a duly noticed public hearing at a meeting of the City Council regarding the Environmental Justice Element.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The recitals set forth in this Resolution are true and correct and incorporated herein as if set forth in full.

Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined that the adoption of this resolution amending the updated General Plan to add the Environmental Justice Element will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt form CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 16061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) consists of activities covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Justice Element would not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. Because the Environmental Justice Element would not approve any development project or change any land use or development regulations, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that its adoption would have a significant effect on the environment.

Section 3. By adopting the Environmental Justice Element the General Plan is internally consistent, including consistency with the 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element and the previously approved Safety, Circulation and Land Use Elements.

Section 4. Based on the forgoing, City Council of the City of Maywood hereby adopts the Environmental Justice Element as set forth in Exhibit A of this Resolution and adds it to the General Plan.

Section 5. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its passage and approval.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 24TH DAY OF JANUARY 2024. _______________________

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

1.2 1.0 INTRODUCTION
In 2016, the State of California passed Senate Bill 1000 Government Code Section 65302(h) (SB 1000) adding an Environmental Justice (EJ) element to municipal general plans. Communities must identify whether they have environmental justice (or “disadvantaged communities”) within their jurisdiction and, if disadvantaged communities are identified, develop an Environmental Justice element, or incorporate Environmental Justice into their other general plan elements.

This requirement went into effect in 2018 and applies when a community updates two or more of its general plan elements.

This is the City of Maywood’s first Environmental Justice element. The purpose of an EJ element is to address public health and other environmental issues for the vulnerable populations in EJ communities. These populations have long borne the brunt of inequitable policies. California Government Code Section 65040.12 works to minimize adverse effects of environmental hazards on populations most at risk of harm and create a healthy environment for all groups, again with a particular focus on improving health outcomes of disadvantaged populations. The purpose of EJ policies is to reduce impacts on populations experiencing adverse environmental affects, ensure equitable access to services and facilities, promote meaningful community engagement from those populations in municipal government and its decision-making process, and improve public health outcomes.

Under SB 1000, a disadvantaged community is one that is identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency under pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code and/or an area that is a low-income area that is disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and/or other hazards that can lead to negative health impacts, exposure, or environmental degradation. Low-income areas are defined as those areas with household incomes at or below 80% of the statewide median income or household incomes at or below the low-income threshold identified by the Department of Housing and Community Development’s list of state income levels adopted pursuant to Section 50093.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

1.3 Figure 1: Process for Determining and Addressing EJ Requirements (Source: General Plan Guidelines Chapter 4: Environmental Justice) Government Code 65302(h) identifies two criterion jurisdictions should use to determine whether an EJ element is required. The first is whether the jurisdiction is concurrently revising two or more elements on or after January 1, 2018. Concurrent with its Sixth Cycle Housing Element, the City of Maywood is updating its Land Use, Circulation, and Safety elements. The second criterion is for the jurisdiction to determine whether “disadvantaged communities” exist within the jurisdiction. “’Disadvantaged communities’ means an area identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency Pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code or an area that is a low-income area that is disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and other hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure, or environmental degradation.” (Gov. Code, Section 65302, subd. (h)(4)(A)). Low-income area is further defined as “an area with household incomes at or below 80% of the statewide median income or with household incomes at or below the threshold designated as low income by the Department of Housing and Community Development’s list of state income limits adopted pursuant to Section 50093.” (Gov.

Code, Section 65302, subd. (h)(4)(C)).

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

1.4 1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE POLICY FRAMEWORK
Environmental justice (EJ) is regulated under several federal and state law and policies. Several of the most relevant laws and policies are mentioned below, however this is not an exhaustive list of EJ and EJ-related laws and policies. In addition to legislative protections, the environmental justice movement is often driven by, and in fact was born from, the advocacy of non-governmental organizations.

1.1.1 Federal Laws and Policies
The foundation for EJ in federal law can be traced back to the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, states may not “deny to any person within [their] jurisdiction, the equal protection of the laws.” EJ was brought to the forefront when President Clinton signed Executive Order (EO) 12898 in 1994. This EO is titled “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations” and was based on a 1992 report written by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that found that “(r)axial minority and low-income populations experience higher than average exposures to selected air pollutants, hazardous waste facilities, and other forms of environmental pollution.”
EO 12898 requires federal agencies to incorporate EJ into their missions and programs and evaluate the impact of federal actions on EJ populations. EO 12898 relies on several other federal laws that can be used to support EJ policies and evaluations as well as further EJ policies and principles. These federal laws include the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits any entity receiving federal funds from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origins in its programs or activities. NEPA requires an environmental review of proposed federal and/or federally-funded actions.

1.1.2 State Laws and Policies
The first California EJ law was passed in 1999, but anti-discrimination laws existed in the state prior to that. The California Constitution prohibits discrimination in public employment, public education, and public contracting (Article 1, Section 31) and state law further prohibits discrimination in any state-funded or administered program or activity (Gov. Code Section 11135). State Planning and Zoning Law prohibits local entities from denying any individual or group the enjoyment of residence, land ownership, tenancy, or any other land use due to race, sex, gender, color, religion, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, lawful occupation, or age (among other bases) of the individual or group of individuals (Gov. Code Section 65008, subd. (a)).

Additionally, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) specifically prohibits housing

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

1.5 discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry familiar status disability or source of income (Gov. Code, Section 12900, et seq.). SB 115 (Chapter 690, Statues of 1999) was signed into law in 1999 and defined EJ in statute and identified the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) as the State’s coordinating agency for State EJ programs. Guidance was updated with AB 1553 (Chapter 762, Statutes of 2001) which required OPR to develop general plan guidelines by 2003; since 2003, the general plan guidelines have outlined ways for EJ to be integrated into the general plans written by local jurisdictions. SB 1000 made the EJ element a mandatory element or topic for inclusion in general plans for jurisdictions with disadvantaged populations. OPR updated its EJ guidance and provides a process by which jurisdictions can determine whether they are required to develop an EJ element or not.

In addition to the laws outlined above, several state agencies administer programs and initiatives that address EJ issues. Among them are the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) maintains both an EJ Program and an EJ Task Force that coordinates compliance and enforcement work of CalEPA’s boards, departments, and officers.

1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVOCACY
In addition to legislative protections, the environmental justice movement is often driven by, and in fact was born from, the advocacy of non-governmental organizations. The First National People of Color Environmental Justice Leadership Summit was held in 1991 and resulted in the 17 Principles of Environmental Justice (https://www.ejnet.org/ej/principles.html). Many advocacy groups at all levels – grassroots, local, regional, state, and national – continue to work to advance environmental justice and ensure that our most vulnerable neighbors are protected and included in the decisions that impact their health, neighborhoods, and communities.

The City of Maywood maintains relationships with several non-governmental advocacy organizations and coordinates regularly with a variety of groups to plan community events and support municipal outreach efforts.

1.3 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS
Maywood’s General Plan is the City’s long-range comprehensive planning document that will guide development and other municipal activities over the coming years. State statute (California Government Code Section 65302 et seq.) requires general plans to contain seven elements to address important municipal issues: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, and safety. Following the adoption of SB 1000 in 2016, plans developed in 2018 and onward must also address Environmental Justice.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

1.6 While the City of Maywood has elected to develop a standalone Environmental Justice Element, there is still significant overlap between this EJ element and the City’s other general plan elements. Planning decisions related to the types of land uses, location, density and intensity of use, transportation systems, and street design have a profound impact on both public health and environmental justice. This EJ element should be read and considered in the context of the other General Plan elements.

In addition to providing background information and data, the goals and policies in this element are organized into the following topics: Reduce Exposure to Pollution (Including Improved Air Quality); Promote Public Facilities; Promote Food Access; Promote Safe and Sanitary Homes; Promote Physical Activity; Reduce Unique or Compound Health Risks Not Otherwise Addressed; Promote Civic Engagement in the Public Decision-Making Process; and Prioritize Improvements and Programs to Address Community Needs.

Environmental justice and policies to address inequity as well as to serve Maywood’s disadvantaged and/or vulnerable populations are included in the plan’s other elements. Some of those goals and policies from other elements are brought into this element. Even where not explicitly noted, this element is consistent with the remaining sections of the Maywood General Plan.

1.4 MAYWOOD’S ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT
Centrally located in the urbanized area of Los Angeles County, approximately eight miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles, Maywood is south of an industrial district that includes Los Angeles’s Boyle Heights neighborhood as well as industrial areas located in the cities of Vernon and Commerce. Maywood and other communities to the south, east, and west of Los Angeles have traditionally served as residential communities for those working in the nearby industrial areas. Maywood is surrounded by Vernon to the north, Commerce to the east, Bell to the South, and Huntington Park to the west. Along with its neighbors in Southeast Los Angeles County, Maywood is considered one of the “Gateway Communities.” This moniker is due to their location between Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

Maywood is a densely developed, predominately residential community that faces the challenge of preserving the character of its neighborhoods and business districts while accommodating growth in response to regional needs for new housing and jobs. Industrial uses in Maywood are primarily concentrated along the City’s northern and western boundaries with pockets of industrial uses along the eastern border. Commercial uses are concentrated along the City’s two main thoroughfares – Atlantic Avenue and Slauson Boulevard. The City of Maywood is one of California’s smallest – and most densely populated. The Census Bureau estimates that more than 25,000 people live in Maywood’s 1.18 square miles (as of the 2020 US Census).

Anecdotally, Maywood’s population is likely much higher – closer to 35,000.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

2.7 2.0 IDENTIFYING DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
The statutory language in Government Code section 65302(h) identifies three potential methods for identifying whether a disadvantaged community exists within a jurisdiction. Jurisdictions can choose which method to use but are encouraged to do a thorough screening analysis using each of the three definitions and then verifying the findings with local/regional agencies as well as community input to ensure that disadvantage communities have been properly identified.

The three methods OPR recommends jurisdictions use are:

1. Use CalEnviroScreen1 to determine whether the planning area for the general plan contains census tracts that have a combined score of 75% or higher. (Method 1)

2. Map household median income by census tract in the planning area at or below the statewide median income and examine for disproportionate pollution burden. (Method 2)

3. Map household median income by census tract in the planning area at or below the Department of Housing and Community Development’s state income levels and examine for disproportionate pollution burden. (Method 3)
After these three analyses are completed, OPR recommends that jurisdictions incorporate and analyze community-specific data and examine for additional pollution burden and health risk factors.

In addition to the methods outlined above, there are several other indicators that can be used to identify or corroborate the presences of disadvantaged communities. These indicators include educational attainment, employment levels, housing cost burdened lowincome households, linguistic isolation, poverty, race and ethnicity, single-parent households, citizenship, violent crime rates, and voter participation – both among residents eligible to vote and the share of residents ineligible to vote. Given the City of Maywood’s demographics and proximity to sources of pollution (industrial areas and freeway), the entire City of Maywood qualifies for prioritization of disadvantaged communities. 1 CalEnviroScreen is a statewide mapping tool that identifies California communities that are most affected by many sources of pollution and identifies locations where residents are especially vulnerable to the effects of pollution. CalEnviroScreen uses 20 indicators to calculate health scores by census tract. The 20 indicators include: pollution exposure, location of toxic chemicals in or near communities, the location of sensitive populations, and a variety of socioeconomic factors. Scores are calculated, by census tract, out of 100 based on the 20 indictors.

2.8 2.1 METHOD 1
Use CalEnviroScreen to determine whether the planning area for the general plan contains census tracts that have a combined score of 75% or higher.

Figure 2: Maywood CalEnviroScreen
Every census tract in the City of Maywood has at least an 80% combined score in CalEnviroScreen. The lowest pollution burden score is 79. Under Method 1, the entire City of Maywood is considered a disadvantaged population.

2.2 METHOD 2
Map household median income by census tract in the planning area at or below the statewide median income and examine for disproportionate pollution burden.

Every census tract within in the City of Maywood has a household median income lower than the statewide household median income and has a disproportionate pollution burden. Under Method 2, the entire City of Maywood is considered a disadvantaged population.

2.3 METHOD 3
Map household median income by census tract in the planning area at or below the Department of Housing and Community Development’s state income levels and examine for disproportionate pollution burden. In 2019, the Area Median Income for Los Angeles County was $73,100 (https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/income-limits/state-and-federal-incomelimits/docs/Income-Limits-2019.pdf).

As shown in Table 1, all census tracts in Maywood have a household median income significantly less than the area median income as defined by the Department of Housing and Community Development and bear a disproportionate pollution burden. Under Method 3, the entire City of Maywood is considered a disadvantaged population.

2.4 OTHER INDICATORS

2.4.1 Demographics
As of January 1, 2020, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Pre-Certified Local Housing Data estimates that the City of Maywood had 27,904 residents. As mentioned previously, anecdotal evidence indicates that the City’s population is likely much higher. The City’s population density is approximately 21,000 people per square mile making it among the most densely populated cities in California and across the United States.

Maywood’s population is more than 98% Hispanic/Latino in origin and almost half (47.0%) of Maywood’s residents were born outside of the United States. This is significantly higher than in Los Angels County where only about 34% of residents are foreign-born. Of Maywood’s foreignborn population, only approximately a third (32.9%) are naturalized citizens. The City’s

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

2.10 household median income is approximately $44,000. Approximately a fifth (19.7%) of Maywood households are living in poverty.

Only 8.1% of Maywood residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Twenty-seven percent of residents 25 and older have a high school diploma or the equivalent.

Maywood’s 12,362 workers work in 13 major industrial sectors (SCAG Pre-Certified Local Housing Data). More Maywood residents work in Manufacturing (2,285 employees or 18.5% of Maywood workers) than in any other sector. The second-largest sector is Education & Social Services (1,884 employees or 15.2% of Maywood workers). More than a thousand Maywood workers work in each of the following sectors: Retail Trade (1,497 employees), Transportation (1,487 employees), Construction (1,132 employees), and Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation (1,083 employees).

CalEnviroScreen includes the following socioeconomic characteristics in its analysis: education, linguistic isolation, poverty, unemployment, and housing burden. Maywood’s census tracts all rank at high risk (75+ on a 0-100 scale) in each of these categories except unemployment. (See Table 2). One census tract (5334.02) also rants at high risk for unemployment.

2.4.2 Exposure to Pollution and Environmental Hazards
The City of Maywood and its residents are exposed to air pollution from a variety of sources.

Much of this exposure is due to the City’s proximity to industrial land uses and associated local truck traffic. As shown in Table 1, Maywood’s census tracts earned a score of between 79 and 93 indicating a high pollution burden citywide. Exposure varies by pollutant type, as shown in Table 3.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

2.11 Ozone
Ozone is the main component of smog. The main sources of ozone include trucks, cars, planes, trains, factories, farms, construction, and dry cleaners. Ozone is one of the most common and significant air pollution health threats in California. It is one of the United States EPA’s top six commonly found criteria air pollutants and can cause lung irritation, inflammation, and worsening of existing chronic health conditions – even at low levels of exposure. While ozone is a common pollutant in California, Maywood’s census tracts are at relatively low risk.

PM 2.5
PM 2.5 stands for particulate matter 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter. This is approximately 1 10,000th of an inch or less than the thickness of a human hair. PM 2.5 can include organic chemicals, dust, soot, and metals and come from cars and tricks, factories, wood burning, and other activities. Like ozone, PM 2.5 is one of the United States EPA’s top six criteria air pollutants. Exposure to PM 2.5 has been shown to cause many serious health problems including heart and lung disease. Particles can settle deep in the lungs as we breathe.

Maywood’s census tracts are at moderately high risk of PM 2.5 exposure.

Diesel Particulate Matter
Diesel particulate matter is caused by exhaust from trucks, buses, trains, ships, and other dieselpowered engines and is comprised of both gases and solid particles. The solid particles contain hundreds of chemicals, many of which are harmful to health. People living and/or working in cities, industrial areas, and hear heavy truck or train traffic are most likely to be exposed to diesel particulate matter. Diesel particulate matter can settle deep in the lungs and cause health issues including eye, throat, and nose irritation, heart and lung disease, and lung cancer.

Maywood’s census tracts are at moderate risk of exposure to Diesel Particulate Matter.

Pesticides
Pesticides are chemicals used to control insects, weeds, and/or plant/animal diseases and are applied to fields by air, farm machinery, or workers on the ground. Farmworkers, their families, and others who live near agricultural fields are most at risk of exposure to pesticides. Pesticides can cause immediate illness as well as conditions that present themselves later in life such as birth defects and cancer. Maywood is a densely developed urban area far from California’s agricultural centers and its census tracts are at no risk of pesticide exposure. Maywood is home to a very small number of farmworkers (84 farmworkers) who may experience health impacts due to exposure to pesticides; however, this number is approximately 0.3% of Maywood’s population so it does not rise to the level of a public health hazard.

Toxic Releases

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

2.12 Industrial facilities that make or use toxic chemicals can release these chemicals into the air, impacting local air quality. Release information is available for more than 500 chemicals used at large facilities in the United States. Health impacts vary by chemical release type and size.

These releases can occur regularly or during an accident. Given Maywood’s industrial land uses and its proximity to industrial land uses in nearby communities, Maywood’s census tracts are all at high risk of exposure to toxic releases.

Traffic
Local traffic is synonymous with city life; California, and the Los Angeles area in particular, is infamous for its heavy traffic. This traffic releases significant amounts of exhaust into the local air. Even though the state of California has very strict vehicle-emissions standards, vehicle exhaust is one of the state’s main sources of air pollution. Vehicle exhaust is comprised of a wide variety of chemicals, many of them toxic, that can cause health impacts including making breathing difficult, causing cancer, damage DNA, and cause low birth weight and premature births. CalEnviroScreen includes traffic risk for six of Maywood’s seven census tracts, most of which are at high risk.

Drinking Water Contaminants
Most of California’s drinking water sources meet a variety of health and safety requirements, but water can still become contaminated. Contaminated drinking water can cause a variety of health hazards from different contaminants from natural and human sources. Human sources of water contamination include factories, sewerage, and farm runoff. Poor communities and people in rural areas are most at risk of exposure to contaminated drinking water. Maywood’s location within a dense, urban area where all buildings are connected to public water supply reduces its residents’ risk of exposure to contaminated drinking water. In fact, all of Maywood’s census tracts are at low risk of exposure to contaminated drinking water.

Cleanup Sites
Cleanup sites are locations that have been contaminated with harmful chemicals and must be cleaned up. Impacts can be hyper-local or more widespread depending on the type and scale of contamination. The closer to a contaminated site one lives or works, the more likely they are to be exposed and experience health impacts. Health impacts vary depending on the type of exposure and chemical type. Cleanup activities may take years or decades to clean up. Studies regularly show that low-income and/or minority neighborhoods are more likely to have cleanup sites. Due to the presence of industrial sites and historic land use patterns, Maywood’s census tracts are at high to very high risk of exposure to cleanup sites.

Groundwater Threats

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

2.13 Groundwater can be impacted by leaking storage containers. Common pollutants from leaks include gasoline and diesel fuel, solvents, heavy metals, and pesticides. Dairy farms and other concentrated animal-feeding operations can also pose a threat to groundwater due to the large quantities of animal manure produced at these operations. Since groundwater can be impacted by a variety of pollutants, health risks and impacts vary. Only one of Maywood’s census tracts is at high risk of groundwater pollution threat. This is likely due to the type of industrial uses in this area of the City; business operations include oil filter cleaning, warehousing, food distribution, and other warehouses.

Hazardous Waste Generators and Facilities
Commercial and industrial activities create waste that can contain a variety of dangerous chemicals. Facilities that treat, store, or dispose of this kind of waste must be specially regulated. Hazardous waste is transported from the businesses that generate the waste to specially permitted facilities for recycling, treatment, storage, and/or disposal. Community exposure can occur during accidents and/or as a regular course of operation. Health impacts vary depending on the scale and type of exposure. Similar to other noxious land uses, poorer communities and minority communities are more likely to be located near hazardous waste facilities. Given the distribution of industrial uses in Maywood, some if its census tracts are at very high risk of exposure of hazardous waste while others are at little to no risk.

Impaired Water Bodies
Similar to groundwater, surface water can be contaminated by a variety of pollutants, causing the water body to become impaired. Maywood is adjacent to the Los Angeles River, an urban waterway that has been identified as impaired. Exposure and health impacts can vary greatly.

Given Maywood’s location adjacent to the Los Angeles River, the City’s census tracts are considered at moderate risk of exposure.

Solid Waste Sites and Facilities
Solid waste facilities (landfills, transfer stations, and composting facilities) collect, process, and/or store household garbage and other types of waste. Maywood does not have any of these types of facilities, so its census tracts are at no risk.

2.15 2.4.3 Health Indicators
CalEnviroScreen provides information on three health indicators: asthma, low birth weight, and the rate of cardiovascular disease. Cancer is another common health indicator of pollution exposure. The Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study IV (MATES – IV) evaluated the background cancer risk for the greater Los Angeles Region.

Asthma
Asthma affects the lungs and makes it hard to breathe. Symptoms of asthma include breathlessness, coughing, and chest tightness along with its hallmark wheezing. Environmental factors are closely related to the incidence of asthma in the general population. While asthma can be an underlying condition, outdoor air quality often triggers asthma attacks and/or worsens symptoms. Maywood’s census tracts are a relatively low risk of asthma risk, indicating an about-average incidence of the disease in the City. See Table 4.

Low Birth Weight
Low birth weight is diagnosed in babies born weighing less than 5.5 pounds. There are a wide variety of factors, including poor nutrition, a lack of prenatal care, stress and smoking by the pregnant mother, neighborhood violence, living in an impoverished neighborhood, exposure to air pollution, industry, and/or agriculture have all been shown to influence low birth weight.

Maywood’s census tracts vary widely for risk of low birth weight. See Table 4.

Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease includes several conditions involving blocked or narrowed blood vessels that can lead to heart attack or other heart problems. As with low birth weight, there are a wide variety of risk factors that lead to cardiovascular disease, including: diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and exposure to air pollution. Maywood’s census tracts are generally at a moderate risk of cardiovascular disease. See Table 4.

2.16 Background Cancer Risk (MATES-IV Study)
Maywood is part of the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), a highly urbanized area that is home to approximately 17 million people, 11 million vehicles, and a very high concentration of industrial and commercial activities. This area has one of the highest densities of commercial and industrial activities in the entire United States. These factors combine to cause some of the worst air quality across the United States. To evaluate the background cancer risk exposure for residents in the SCAB area, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) prepared the MATES-IV study. MATES-IV examines 40 air pollutants, including particulate matter, lead, and benzene, at 10 monitoring sites for one year (2012-13). The study found that the background cancer risk in the SCAB is approximately 897 in one million. This risk is primarily due to diesel exhaust (which accounted for 68% of estimate air toxic risk).

Exide Contamination and Cleanup
Nearly all of Maywood is affected by the release of lead and other toxic chemicals from the Exide Technologies facility in Vernon. These releases occurred over the course of decades that the plant was active. Residents and officials forced the plant’s closure in 2015, but the massive cleanup effort is ongoing. According to the state’s Department of Toxic Substances Control, more than 10,000 residential lots and 20,000 homes were impacted by exposure to lead dust from the plant.2 Almost the entire city of Maywood is included in the County’s map of affected areas and related clean-up zone. Per the Department of Toxic Substances Control, the site was still understood to pose an “imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare or to the environment” as of 2020. Lead exposure has many long-lasting effects, especially in kids, and lead is notoriously very hard to clean up; the LA County of Department of Public Health recommends nearby residents take advantage of blood testing and paint hazard testing resources to understand their risks and pursue clean-up resources provided by the County and State.

2.5 SUMMARY
The entire City of Maywood is a disadvantaged population. Using each of the three methods outlined in Government Code section 65302(h) to identify disadvantaged populations, each census tract in the City is identified as a disadvantaged population. Examining many of the other indicators of disadvantaged populations also shows that the City of Maywood is a disadvantaged population. This finding is consistent with municipal data and community input.

3.0 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Truly effective and inclusive community engagement is a listening art. It is not about implementing a formula or checking a box, but instead customizing a process reflective of the community’s goals and needs. Meaningful civic and community engagement is guided by engaging in meaningful and relevant dialogue, prioritizing inclusive representation, providing

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

3.18 equitable access to information and opportunities; making sure contributions have impact, and creating empowering experiences.

State law requires that the local planning agency provides opportunities for community involvement in the planning process. Such involvement should include a variety of public entities as well as community groups and individuals during public hearings and other appropriate methods (Gov. Code Section 65351). This general planning effort relied primarily on “other appropriate methods” only holding public hearings as required for review and approval by the municipal regulatory boards.

Throughout the General Plan update, which ran from 2021 to 2023, the Maywood community was consulted using a variety of methods and approaches. All materials were prepared in English and Spanish, and the three general plan workshops were bilingual with the presentation and materials presented in both languages.

A project website hosted plan documents, announced meeting and event dates, and provided a platform on which residents and other stakeholders could interact and provide feedback. Three public meetings were held, both in person and virtually, to solicit public comment and feedback and the project team presented at both City Council and Planning Commission meetings. Two of the three public meetings were held virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. These workshops were held in July 2021 and February 2022 and attracted a handful of participants. An in-person public workshop focused on the environmental justice element held in June 2023 had approximately 30 participants.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

3.19 Figure 4: Photos from the June 2023 Public Workshop By far, the most successful outreach activities were asking open-ended questions of residents already participating in other community events. Over the course of the project, hundreds of comment cards were handed out at events like Trunk or Treat, tree planting events, the National Night Out/Take Back The Night, holiday celebrations, the health resource fair, and the mobile food pantry. Project posters and fliers were also available and posted at these events, but residents strongly preferred the open-ended comment cards, and nobody wrote on any of the posters. Comment cards were also available at City Hall and Library. In all, city staff passed out comment cards at more than a dozen local events.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

3.20 Figure 5: Sample of Comment Cards Received at Public Engagement Events While ultimately successful, engaging the Maywood community was challenging. This engagement effort has taught the City a lot about the best ways to reach the public. From the beginning, this project’s goal was two-fold: receiving input on the general plan update was important, but the project team saw this effort as primarily an initial engagement effort designed to begin building a foundation of meaningful engagement of city residents with the goal of improved and ongoing engagement. Engaging the community was a challenge. Except for the Housing Element, the City has not undertaken a general plan update since the late 1980s,

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.21 so residents are entirely unfamiliar with the concept of a general plan as well as with the overall planning process. The City is actively rebuilding community trust after a period of corruption in the City’s municipal operations. The City’s demographics also contribute to the engagement challenges. The United States does planning differently than many other countries; with such a large segment of the city’s population born abroad, many are unfamiliar with municipal planning efforts making them less inclined to participate. Many Maywood residents work multiple jobs, working long hours to make ends meet. Additionally, many Maywood residents are undocumented, which can make residents uninterested in engaging with public officials.

Language and educational barriers can also make participation difficult.

In addition to public engagement, members of the project team met regularly with other municipal officials and shared regular progress reports. Coordination meetings were held with other consultants working with the City as well as with several community groups and advocacy organizations including the YMCA, East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice, and Amigos de los Rios. During this project, the City of Maywood hired several staff people to serve as community liaisons and foster ongoing community relations. City Hall is actively cultivating relationships with these organizations and others to increase community engagement and participation.

The project team received a variety of input that influenced each of the general plan elements.

Residents were most concerned with rent increases and housing insecurity and traffic and parking. Additional comments related to increasing the tree canopy, public safety, and bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure. Generally, residents enjoy living in Maywood, placing high value on the community and the relationships they have. Overall, respondents felt more positively about Maywood than negatively. However, the items residents most dislike are parking, traffic, and unsafe/unsanitary homes. Additionally, several residents pointed out that Maywood and the surrounding communities are underserved compared to other communities in the Greater Los Angeles Region.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PLANNING VISION
Maywood is completing and environmental Justice (EJ) Element as part of its General Plan for the first time. This Element seeks to address environmental justice through a set of comprehensive goals, policies, and programs aimed at increasing the influence of target populations in the public decision-making process and reducing their exposure to environmental hazards. The Element will be used by the Maywood City Council and the Planning Commission, other boards, commissions and agencies, developers, and the public in planning for the physical development of the City. As a General Plan element, the Environmental Justice Element is closely linked to the remainder of the General Plan and carries equal weight with the other General Plan elements. The City of Maywood’s Environmental Justice Plan is organized into sections:

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.22 • Reduce Exposure to Pollution (Including Improved Air Quality). • Promote Public Facilities.
• Promote Food Access.
• Promote Safe and Sanitary Homes.
• Promote Physical Activity.
• Reduce Unique or Compound Health Risks Not Otherwise Addressed. • Promote Civic Engagement in the Public Decision-Making Process; and • Prioritize Improvements and Programs to Address Community Needs.

Each of these sections identifies one or more goals and several planning policies to support the goal. These goals and policies were developed with community input and reflect the needs identified through the planning process. While cities can opt to create a separate Environmental Justice Element, as Maywood has done, environmental justice is inextricably woven into each of the other General Plan elements. Throughout this section, environmental justice goals and policies are identified alongside goals and policies from the other plan elements. Goals and policies that appear in other elements are identified and generally appear at the bottom of the section. EJ is one of the threads that weaves through the entire general plan and should be treated as an extension of each of the other plans.

4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES IN THE CITY OF MAYWOOD As discussed previously in this element, there are several issues and factors in the City of Maywood that are directly related to environmental justice. The City is surrounded by freeways with heavy truck traffic, major rail yards, and a variety of industrial facilities including those that conduct metal heat treating activities, welding steel forging, oil refining and recycling, and battery manufacturing. Traffic in and around Maywood is significant.

The City is in the Southern California Air Basin and is approximately 5 miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles. The area historically has some of the worst air quality in the United States. Implementation of strict regulations over the recent decades has led to significantly improved air quality. Despite these improvements, however, socioeconomically disadvantaged communities in the region still experience a disproportionately high pollution burden. In addition to air pollution, Maywood residents have a relatively high likelihood of experiencing other forms of pollution leading to a variety of public health impacts.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.23 Maywood is densely developed and many housing units are overcrowded due to issues of housing affordability and availability. Many residents are immigrants and educational attainment in Maywood is relatively low.

As an under-resourced community, the City of Maywood has already implemented a variety of environmental justice policies and programs. Given that the entire community is identified as environmental justice, all aspects of municipal services are designed to service EJ populations.

Working with its partners, the City has implemented several policies and programs including having dedicated community service professionals on staff at City Hall, supporting a mobile food bank and daily meal service, zoning for supportive housing and encouraging the development of safe, sanitary, and affordable housing. The City is constantly pursuing grant opportunities to implement additional programs and services as well as contribute to residents’ quality of life without increasing the tax burden.

4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE GOALS AND POLICIES
This Environmental Justice Element is the City of Maywood’s first Environmental Justice element. As the City implements and gains experience with these efforts, it is anticipated that strategies and approaches will change to better meet Maywood’s unique community. The Environmental Justice element is meant to be a living document that is revisited and updated regularly as conditions change to ensure that residents’ most pressing needs are addressed.

California General Plan Guidelines identify eight categories each Environmental Justice element must address: reducing exposure to pollution (including improved air quality), promoting public facilities, promoting food access, promoting safe and sanitary homes, promoting physical activity, reducing any unique or compound health risks, promoting civic engagement, and prioritizing improvements and programs that address the needs of EJ populations. Over the course of several months, Maywood residents had the opportunity to rank the importance of each of these categories either during a public workshop held in June 2023 or in the following weeks at City Hall. By far, participants ranked promoting safe and sanitary homes as their highest priority. More than a quarter of the votes cast (26%) identified this as a priority. The next-highest ranked priorities were reducing unique or compound health risks, promoting physical activity, and promoting public facilities. Each of these received 14% of votes cast.

Reducing exposure to pollution and improving air quality was close behind with 13% of the vote.

Each of the categories received at least 9% of votes cast.

4.2.1 Reduce Exposure to pollution (Including Improved Air Quality) While generally desirable places to live, urban environments often present adverse environmental conditions that negatively impact individual and community health.

Unfortunately, our most at-risk populations typically bear the brunt of the impacts from pollution, including poor air quality. While air quality is a regional issue, there are actions the City

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.24 can take to reduce exposure to pollution and improve air quality. Even when these exposures cannot be eliminated, education and outreach can give residents the tools and knowledge they need to lessen the impacts of exposure to adverse environmental conditions for themselves and their families. Environmental justice populations have traditionally borne the brunt of environmental pollution and worsened air quality, resulting in poorer public health outcomes. A good quality of life must include a clean and healthy living environment. This is achieved through a variety of means, including good land use policy that plans development to improve and enhance quality of life.

Land Use Compatibility
Land use compatibility is the way a City’s land use plan and zoning ordinances arrange uses within the community to reduce the instances of incompatible uses while still allowing each use to thrive. Industrial and manufacturing land uses contribute to air pollution, but also provide valuable jobs and contribute to the local economy. This EJ element, in conjunction with the land use element, aims to reinforce improvements to past land use planning that resulted in heavy industrial/high polluting uses operating in very close proximity to residential neighborhoods.

The City is actively working to buffer residential neighborhoods from the industrial uses with the goal of allowing industrial uses to continue operating, but to adjust operations to minimize community impacts and protect residents from noxious uses and sources of pollution while encouraging more efficient/cleaner industrial uses, supporting community revitalization, and introducing additional commercial uses. See the Land Use Element for more information.

Goals and Policies
Minimize exposure to pollution with a particular focus on improving outdoor and indoor air quality using planning and educational approaches.

Policies
• Educate the public on air quality impacts and strategies to improve air quality as well as mitigation strategies to lessen the impact of exposure. • Encourage the use of indoor air filtration systems through educational programming and materials and explore funding incentives (including grant programs) to support the installation of indoor air filtration systems.
• Encourage, and whenever possible, contribute to the development of transportation demand management (TDM) measures such as: alternative work schedules, bicycle facilities, ridesharing, and preferential parking for car/vanpools. • Develop a greenhouse gas emissions reduction program that measures baseline and future anticipated greenhouse gas emissions, sets reduction targets for all sector (including municipal operations), outlines public-private and nonprofit partnerships to

4.2.2 Promote Public Facilities
Public facilities include City Hall and community facilities including schools, libraries, parks, community centers, and other recreational facilities that serve the community. Equitable access to, and distribution of, these facilities and services ensures all residents can benefit from the services and programming provided at these facilities. Building connections to and within these facilities is key to a vibrant and active community and can often serve as one of the key features of a community, bringing residents from all walks of life together to create a shared identity.

The City of Maywood operates a variety of public facilities throughout the community. These facilities include City Hall, the Maywood Cesar Chavez Library, seven public school buildings (operated by the Los Angeles Unified School District), the YMCA, and public parks. The City has four public parks and several smaller, neighborhood pocket parks. Public recreational facilities are supplemented with a shared use agreement between the City and school district. Facilities are distributed throughout the community. See the Land Use Element for more information.

Goals and Policies
Ensure equitable distribution and access of high-quality public facilities throughout the City of Maywood.

Policies

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.27 • Locate new public facilities that provide youth, family, and/or senior services near transit stops and in mixed use neighborhoods when feasible.
• Continue increasing public parks including pocket parks and public plazas to increase public access to open space and providing more opportunities for recreation closer to residential neighborhoods ensuring that all residents have relatively easy access to parks, community centers, fields, and other community amenities. Consistent maintenance and improvement of these facilities will encourage more people to utilize these important community resources.
• Prioritize investment in the improvement and maintenance of parks and other public facilities, using the capital improvement program, grant funding, nonprofit partnerships, and other available means to invest in public facilities and services. • The City will seek to create more recreational open space and tot lots in neighborhoods where there is a need to serve existing and new residents (Housing Element). • The City of Maywood will plan for and support infrastructure availability to ensure the ability to support its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The City will implement its infrastructure capacity plan to… ensure adequate infrastructure is available for all Maywood residents, present and future… (Housing Element) • Properly locate and adequately size public facilities to meet existing and projected demand (Land Use Element).
• Coordinate with public and private agencies to improve public facilities as density increases (Land Use Element).
• Periodically inventory and monitor the condition of the City’s sewer, water, storm drainage, streets, and parks, libraries, schools, health care facilities, and other supporting appurtenances (Land Use Element).
• Work with public and quasi-public service providers to ensure that the City’s investment in its infrastructure is protected (Land Use Element).
• Support the rehabilitation and expansion of the Maywood Cesar Chavez Library to meet the community’s changing needs (Land Use Element).

4.28 • Explore creating a cooling center or “resilience hub” within the City of Maywood (Safety Element)
• Coordinate with community groups, nonprofit organizations, and others to identify existing resources and networks that can support cooling effort (Safety Element).

4.2.3 Promote Food Access
Hunger makes everything more challenging. Students are not able to adequately focus on their studies and are less likely to break the cycle of poverty when they do not have access to enough or healthy food. Adults are similarly affected by hunger and more likely to forgo meals if food is scarce to give their children maximum access to food resources.

Goals & Policies
Expand access to healthy food options and reduce the number of food insecure residents.

Policies
• Work to expand public awareness of, and participation in, federal food assistance programs including the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by sharing program information on the City’s website and in newsletters, providing pamphlets and other information at public facilities including schools, and encouraging merchants to accept WIC and SNAP payments.
• Work with partner organizations, including the YMCA, to expand meal programs and food bank events. While sustainable, permanent funding to support these programs is preferred, grants and other external funding sources can be accessed to jump-start expanded offerings and/or provide cash infusions when most critically needed. • Provide healthy food options at city buildings, public vending machines, and public events.
• Encourage residents to plant fruit trees and other edible landscaping and explore opportunities for grant funding to support edible landscaping education and make plants/trees available to residents.
• With the Los Angeles County School District and other stakeholders, explore the feasibility of “edible school yards” that provide gardens and gardening programs on school property.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.29 • Consider ways to allow and encourage small-scale urban agriculture in parks, schools, and neighborhoods.
• Ensure that residents are permitted to grow fruits and vegetables in their yards, provided there are not significant negative impacts to adjacent property owners. • Allow public facilities to be used as pickup sites for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs.
• Work to bring a farmer’s market to Maywood.

4.2.4 Promote Safe and Sanitary Homes
Housing is a primary focus for Maywood residents, the vast majority of whom are renters.

Renters typically are at a significantly higher risk of displacement and have limited ability to address deficiencies in their units. The Housing Element discusses the condition of Maywood’s housing stock in detail. The City is making progress to bring substandard and/or illegal units into compliance, but much work remains to be done. The City has recently passed a rent stabilization ordinance that seeks to provide relief and predictability for tenants. The safety and adequacy of housing is a leading concern for the City and its residents alike.

Goals & Policies
Expand access to safe and sanitary homes, bringing substandard units into compliance with the building code and health and safety regulations.

Policies
• The City, working with nonprofit and other partners, will educate residents on the requirements of standard housing and their rights.
• Maywood will encourage the rehabilitation and preservation of substandard units owned/occupied by lower income households.
• The City will continue to utilize the code enforcement program to bring substandard units into compliance with applicable codes to improve overall housing conditions in Maywood (Housing Element).
• The City will promote increased awareness among property owners and residents of the importance of property maintenance to long-term housing quality (Housing Element). • The City will continue to promote rehabilitation programs that provide financial and technical assistance to lower-income property owners (Housing Element).

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.30 • The City will continue to use the code enforcement program to bring substandard units into compliance with applicable codes to improve overall housing conditions in Maywood (Housing Element).
• Develop a program to bring unpermitted accessory dwelling units (ADUs) into compliance. This program will promote the legalization of unpermitted or undocumented ADUs to ensure safe, healthy, and habitable living conditions. This program will… ensure safe, healthy, and habitable living conditions… provide a means for tenants to improve potentially substandard and/or unsafe conditions in their homes… (Housing Element). • Promote efforts to correct housing deficiencies including housing stock quality and availability. Policies include: providing adequate funding and staffing to support code enforcement programs; continued enforcement of building, zoning health, and safety codes to improve quality of life for residents; reducing overcrowding; encouraging conservation and rehabilitation programs aimed at improving and maintaining the quality of the existing housing stock in the City; establishing, maintaining, and enforcing multi-family development standards that regulate the use of properties in a manner that protects the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and maintains neighborhood character; and promoting efforts to correct housing deficiencies including housing stock quality and availability (Land Use Element).

4.2.5 Promote Physical Activity
Physical activity is important for improving public health. People who are physically fit tend to recover more quickly and more completely from injuries and illness and regular exercise contributes to longer lifespans. However, a densely developed urban environment does not always lend itself to easy access to physical activity. The City of Maywood has been actively expanding and improving its parks, providing additional opportunities for exercise including a new fitness court, improved playing fields, and a renovated pool. This aspect of the environmental justice element directly related air quality and pollution because outdoor exercise must be limited when air quality is poor.

Goals & Policies
Provide opportunities for residents to easily incorporate physical activity into their daily lives.

Policies
• Seek grant and other funding sources to provide secure bicycle parking and other bicycle facilities at all public buildings.
• Improve the use of existing parks and programs through marketing and promotion.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.31 • Make land use and urban design decisions that promote physical activity, access to nutritious food, and reduce air pollution.
• Actively engage the public in promoting walking and biking through educational programming and materials.
• Seek grant funding to provide additional Fitness Courts. • Allow sufficient pedestrian cross times when setting traffic light timing. • Work with the Los Angeles County School District, YMCA, and other organizations to identify funding sources for expanded after school fitness and education programs for Maywood’s youth.

Policies include continuing to share public school recreation land and facilities for City recreation and/or community uses (Land Use Element)

4.2.6 Reduce Unique or Compound Health Risks Not Otherwise Addressed Environmental justice populations are uniquely at risk of compounded health risks as a direct result of their life circumstances. Income is one of the strongest determinants of overall health; this is compounded by the likelihood someone lives in substandard housing, has access to healthy food, has opportunities for physical exercise, and can access routine or preventative healthcare.

Goals & Policies
Reduce the debilitating impact that poverty has on individual, familiar, and community health and well-being.

Policies
• Promote wrap-around, multi-pronged efforts and partnerships to increase access to income, support programs, safe, healthy, and stable affordable housing options, and opportunities for social mobility.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.33 • Coordinate with Los Angeles County, nearby communities, non-profit organizations, and other governmental and non-governmental organization to increase regional access to adequate, affordable health care facilities.
• Work with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, nonprofit organizations, community groups, and other stakeholders to monitor health and wellness trends, conditions, and outcomes in Maywood.
• Reduce alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use by creating a social and physical environment that supports healthy choices, ensuring access to treatment services, and enforcing existing regulations.
• Encourage mobile healthcare clinics to bring healthcare into the community, reduce barriers to care, and promote preventative screenings and care. Work with local healthcare providers to implement and coordinate services with primary care clinics. • Provide healthy food options at city buildings, public vending machines, and public events.
• Work to limit the impacts of climate change on the City’s most vulnerable populations by focusing on planning programs and intervention activities in the communities with the highest needs.
• Plan for the public health impacts of climate change including disease and temperature impacts. Seek to work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and/or similar health organizations to identify Maywood’s critical public health issues. • Safely and systematically address toxins, legacy pollutants, and hazardous materials by continuing to work with state, federal, regional, and local agencies to eliminate and reduce concentrations of regulated legacy pollutants.

Goals & Policies

4.34 also discuss health risks associated with poor air quality, water and soil contamination, and exposure to other contaminants such as lead paint, asbestos, mercury, etc. • Encourage increased enrollment in affordable healthcare programs by making information readily available to residents, broadly advertising enrollment periods, and partnering with health clinics.
• Support community education programs on healthy eating habits and lifestyles, including topics such as nutrition, physical activity, and vegetable gardening.

4.2.7 Promote Civic Engagement in the Public Decision-Making Process Robust and extensive civic engagement are at the center of community. Maywood has successfully emerged from a very challenging period but must still earn back the trust of many residents. Previous administration suffered from corruption, which has resulted in an engaged citizenry taking power back and demanding changes and accountability. While these challenges have ignited civic engagement for many residents, it is has also served as a discouragement for many others. Maywood sits at this intersection and must continue to operate in a fair and transparent manner to win back the trust it has lost. Meaningful public engagement and involvement is one of the hallmarks of the environmental justice movement, which calls on everyone to participate in the decision-making process. Historically under-resourced populations are most at risk and face particular challenges engaging in public discourse but must be welcomed and brought into the process as public decisions have an outsized impact on these disadvantaged populations. It is critical that the City continue to actively seek out these residents, bringing them into the process. Offering incentives and going out into the community builds public trust and provides the best opportunity to engage with the city’s residents; every neighborhood in Maywood is identified as environmental justice areas.

Goals & Policies
Increase civic engagement in Maywood, building public trust and ownership of public actions and bringing residents from across the community into the city’s social fabric. Increase participation rates in community events including voting, youth activities, adult education, senior activities, and family-oriented programs.

Policies
• Ensure City government functions are operated in an open and transparent manner and that decisions are reached in a consistent and predictable manner. • Encourage residents to register to vote and to vote in elections.

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.35 • Continue utilizing ongoing, regular outreach and communication strategies in both English and Spanish to increase public knowledge and understanding of municipal operations and services.
• Expand distribution of the Maywood Today Newsletter, providing hard copies at local businesses, civic institutions, and other places residents congregate and explore the creation of an email distribution list.
• Ensure that public activities are accessible and welcoming to all. Continue to ensure that residents will find people who speak their language at City Hall and other public facilities. City staff and/or interpreters will be readily available to assist residents in English, Spanish, and other languages as necessary.
• Educate public decision-makers including employees, elected, and appointed officials on the principles of environmental justice and meaningful public engagement. • The City will continue and expand its partnerships with the YMCA and other communitybased organizations to build trust and relationships with community residents. • Establish guidelines for universal public communication, working to reach residents in as many different methods possible, utilizing a variety of techniques and social media tools.

A Youth Commission was established in November 2023. • Maintain transparency and integrity in the decision-making process by proactively and meaningfully engaging residents in planning decisions that impact their housing and neighborhoods.
• Continue to regularly engage residents in neighborhood efforts including issues concerning safety, neighborhood character, planning, and redevelopment. • Environmental justice principles will be embedded into the City’s planning processes and practices.
• Routinely survey residents to assess the performance of local circulation infrastructure (Circulation Element).
•

CITY OF MAYWOOD – ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT

4.36 • Assure the effective participation of Maywood residents in land use decisions (Land Use Element).
• Continue supporting and encouraging the members and activities of the Youth Commission (Established in November 2023).

4.2.8 Prioritize Improvements and Programs to Address Community Needs The entire City of Maywood is a disadvantaged population, so all programs designed to serve the community are environmental justice activities. The City is actively working with community partners and grant agencies to expand service programs and increase its ability to respond to community needs as they arise.

Goals & Policies
Improve support networks and program offerings, increasing economic and social opportunity for Maywood residents.

Policies
• In economic development activities, work to attract and retain industries and businesses that can provide a living wage and health insurance benefits while meeting existing levels of workforce education.
• Decrease the number of Maywood residents commuting to other communities by preserving and expanding the match between residents’ skills and available jobs by encouraging collaboration between local industries and local high schools with the goal of developing job training programs and encouraging local businesses to hire Maywood residents by developing a local job board that advertises vacancies and supporting local job fairs.
• Work with interested organizations, service providers, local businesses, and other stakeholders to develop a youth job partnership that connects Maywood teenagers with after school and summer jobs, volunteer opportunities, and other workforce development opportunities. The Youth Commission may be able to support this activity. • Support community organizations and other groups that address social equity issues. • The City of Maywood will continue to support efforts to mobilize assets and improve social support networks to provide much-needed services and programming.

Staff recommends that the City Council, after holding a public hearing, adopt Resolution No. 6331, approving Tentative Parcel Map Application No. PC23-03, to subdivide an approximately 1.51 acre vacated railroad parcel, Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 6315-002-015 and merge the two portions of that parcel into the adjacent parcels located at 6019 District Boulevard and 6135 District Boulevard.

BACKGROUND:

MPL Properties, LLC ("Applicant") is requesting the approval of the division of an approximately 1.51 acre vacated railroad parcel and to merge the two portions of that parcel into the adjacent parcels located at 6019 District Boulevard and 6135 District Boulevard. The vacated railroad parcel is located between Walker Avenue to the west, District Boulevard to the east, East 60th Street to the north, and Randolph Street to the south. The current parcel has a zoning designation of Manufacturing (M). The parcel has manufacturing uses to the east and west. A City park is to the north and railroad tracks to the south. The northern access for the parcel is located along East 60th Street.

The southern access is located along Randolph Street. An image of the location is attached.

The railroad parcel has joint owners comprised of MPL Properties LLC and RFR Investments LLC. Each party also owns the adjacent parcels, with RFR Investments LLC owning 6019 District and MPL Properties LLC owning 6135 District, where the portions of the railroad parcel will be merged as part of this parcel map.

On November 21, 2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Maywood conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Tentative Parcel Map No. 82930, at which time the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. PC23-0451 recommending that the Maywood City Council approve the tentative map.

DISCUSSION:

Section 6(a) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance sets forth the City Council's responsibility for land divisions as follows:
"The City Council shall have final jurisdiction in the approval, conditional approval, or disapproval of tentative maps, final tract maps, reversions to acreage and improvement agreements and the acceptance by the City of such lands and/or improvements as may be proposed for dedication to the City of land divisions." Per the City Council's responsibility for land divisions, staff has reviewed the project pursuant to the provisions (as

presented below as "A" through "G") of the Maywood Subdivision Ordinance and is recommending the following findings to the City Council:

A. That the proposed map is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451.

The project is located in an industrial designated area of the General Plan. The increased size of the parcels helps to provide more land area that can assist with providing more on-site parking as Policy 3.3 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan states. The project is not in a specific plan but does meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The project site has a Maywood Zoning Ordinance (MZO) designation as Manufacturing. According to 4040.50 of the MZO, the minimum net lot size shall be 5,000 square feet.

Parcel "A", located at 6019 District Boulevard, will be 87,152 square feet. Parcel "B," located at 6135 District Boulevard, will be 110,675 square feet. According to 4040.60 of the MZO, no lot shall be established or utilized which is less than 50 feet in width. Parcel "A" width is 360 feet and Parcel "B" width is 293 feet; both meet the minimum requirement.

B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans.

The proposed subdivision is consistent with the MZO with usage and zoning as indicated below. The adjacent parcels are also designated for Manufacturing (M) and their uses are within scope. The proposed design of the divided parcel will be merged with existing parcels to be consistent with the General Plan and MZO. These parcels are warehouse manufacturing uses and the addition of the parcel area to the existing parcels will allow for additional improvements to the sites such as parking.

C. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.

There is no proposed development within the scope of the project. There is no change in use for the respective parcels. This is a consolidation of properties between their respective owners. The existing parcel is paved with asphalt. The respective owners have utilized the parcel as an additional vehicle maneuvering area. As it stands, there is no established legal separation of the parcel. The tentative parcel map will establish parcels property lines for their respective owners.

D. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

There is no proposed development with the scope to increase the parcels' size. The site is suitable for the additional square footage of land. The maximum amount of lot coverage allowed is up to 90 percent of the total lot area.

E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantial and avoidable injuries to fish or wildlife or their habitat.

The subdivision and merger is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that the subdivision is proposed within an entirely urbanized area and the parcel is graded and paved. The newly created parcels are connected to all urbanized utilities.

F. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health

problems.

The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the proposed subdivision and merger is for parcel consolidation only. There is no grading or construction proposed in the scope of work.

G. That the design of the subdivisions or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. .

The design of the subdivision does not contain easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project.

This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Bell/Maywood Industrial Post newspaper, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site.

The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the proposed subdivision and merger is for parcel consolidation only. There is no grading or construction proposed in the scope of work.

G. That the design of the subdivisions or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.

Section 2. The City Council finds that the Project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15 – Minor Land Divisions) because the Project is in urbanized areas zoned for industrial use into four or fewer parcels; the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning; no variances or exceptions are required; all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available; the subject parcels were not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years; and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than twenty percent.

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

DATE: January 24, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DIANA CHO
SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PROPOSED USES OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ALLOCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6332 APPROVING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council, after holding a public hearing, adopt Resolution No. 6332 approving the FY 2024-2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program budget.

BACKGROUND:

Each program year, the City receives an annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). The CDBG allocation from the LACDA for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 will form part of the City’s Overall Budget in Fund 243 entitled CDBG.

It is estimated that the City’s allocated funding will be $352,970. The City will also have $173,952 in unallocated funds from prior years’ project close-outs for a total of $526,922 to use for programs and projects.

As a CDBG Subrecipient of the LACDA, the City of Maywood must submit a CDBG Program Planning Summary describing the proposed programs and funding allocations for FY 2024-2025 by February 1, 2024.

The intended use of this funding is for various community development programs and projects to benefit lowand moderate-income persons.

DISCUSSION:

The CDBG Program seeks to ensure that the needs and resources of the community are included in a comprehensive planning effort to revitalize distressed neighborhoods and help low- and moderate-income residents.

Currently, CDBG funds are used to fund a portion of the Graffiti Removal Program, Code Enforcement activities, and the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project. HUD encourages and requires that the City involve the general public in the development of the City’s CDBG Program. Accordingly, this public hearing was noticed through the attached public hearing notice, pursuant to HUD and LACDA requirements, and complies with citizen participation regulations.

The public hearing is a part of HUD’s public participation process and is one of the primary vehicles for community involvement in the City’s CDBG planning process.

PROPOSED FY 2024-2025 CDBG PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

Graffiti Removal Program:

The Graffiti Removal program provides for the removal of graffiti from public areas and private property where graffiti is visible from the public right-of-way. CDBG funds pay for graffiti removal contractor services. CDBG program regulations identify graffiti abatement as a public service, which is subject to a fifteen percent (15%) cap of the annual allocation (15% of $352,970 = $52,945). Note that the LACDA has re-instated the public service cap from 20% to 15% for FY 2024-2025. FY 2024-2025 funding request is $52,945.

Code Enforcement Activities:

The Code Enforcement program aids in the elimination of substandard housing, removal of blighted conditions, promoting property maintenance, and ensuring conformance with City zoning and building ordinances, as well as the enforcement of applicable State and County Health codes. Fund 243 CDBG is allocated to support Personal Services (PS) [Salaries and Benefits] of 100% of the Code Enforcement Officer I, 20% of the Director of Building and Planning, 5% of the Senior Accountant, and for Non-Personal Services (NPS) costs associated with program implementation. In addition, CDBG funds are used for project administration, which is up to a maximum of 20% of the project allocation. The allocation for CDBG administration is $35,000 (20% of $175,000). FY 2024-2025 funding request is $175,000.

Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project:

The Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project will provide funding for various repairs to damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters, driveway approaches, adjacent asphalt pavement, and additional items associated with sidewalk repairs in targeted locations throughout the City. CDBG funds are used for design, engineering, plans and specifications, and construction costs associated with project implementation. The proposed allocation includes funding for CDBG project administration and contract compliance. The FY 2024-2025 funding request is $98,977.

Park Improvements Project:

The Park Improvements Project will provide funding for various repairs, including but not limited to replacing aging and deteriorated park amenities, playground equipment, walkways, and additional items associated with park site improvements. CDBG funds are used for design, engineering, plans and specifications, construction, and costs associated with project implementation. The proposed allocation includes funding for CDBG project administration and contract compliance. The FY 2024-2025 funding request is $200,000.

The cost of project administration, coordination, monitoring, reporting, and contract compliance services are charged on a project-based model which allows the City to pay for costs associated with meeting the regulatory requirements on a per project basis. CDBG funds are used to reimburse the City for personnel and non-personnel costs, including the funding for contract services required for CDBG project administration. The City’s CDBG contracted services include the CDBG Program Consultant.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Fiscal Year 2024-2025 funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is estimated at $526,922 - Department Code 150 - Community Development Block Grant. Approval of the proposed CDBG funding allocations will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 City Budget. The CDBG Program does not impact the City's General Fund budget.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

DATE: January 24, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RAUL HERRERA, SENIOR ACCOUNTANT
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT DECEMBER 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report from July - December 2023.

BACKGROUND:

In an effort to maintain transparency, the City’s Finance Department prepares a monthly Revenue Report for the City Council’s review.

DISCUSSION:

The total revenue received from July - December 2023 totaled $5,034,599.08, which is lower than the same period last year. This is primarily due to the fact that the City received its second one-time installment in the amount of $3,226,257 from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) in July 2022. Additionally, the City received $177,031.59 in July 2022 from the Safe Clean Water Program; staff is expecting the County to disburse the funds in the near future.

In addition, we have encountered a drop in the issuance of building and public works permits. This also accounted for a lower amount of funds recorded for the months of July through December 2023.

The attached analysis compares prior YTD and current YTD Revenue.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the attached cash and investment report for December 2023.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with the City of Maywood’s Adopted Investment Policy (Resolution No. 6132 dated 08/12/2020) and to provide information to the City Council, the City’s Finance Department prepares a Monthly Cash and Investment Report for the City Council’s review.

The purpose of this report is to show the cash and investment balances as reported on a date only and does not represent the City’s available fund balance. The investment program provides sufficient liquidity to meet six months of estimated expenditures. All investments are in compliance with California state code 503600 and the City of Maywood Investment Policy.

The City maintains cash in a General Account, investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), investments in the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) a Section 115 trust fund dedicated to prefunding other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), and investments in the California Employers' Pension Prefunding Trust (CEPPT). The attached report shows the cash and investments as of December 31, 2023.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.

DATE: January 24, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: LUZ MARIA, ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 6333 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD AND

SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE MAYWOOD COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT

AGENCY APPROVING THE WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive, approve and file the warrant registers, wire transfers dated 12/05/2023 through 1/17/2024, and net payrolls dated 12/07/2023 through 1/04/2024 and adopt Resolution No. 6333 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.

Exhibit A entitled Summary of Warrants and Wire Transfers/ Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transactions serves as a Management Control for complying with Section 3-2.06.

Exhibit B entitled Detail of Warrants 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 - as an Internal Control that supports the Management Control - all disbursement documents to ensure that they meet the approval requirements.

DISCUSSION:

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. This is reflected in the Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions as Accounts Payable

prepaid warrants for payment.

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.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.

DATE: January 24, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: NANCY RODRIGUEZ, HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 24-01, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE MAYWOOD

MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADJUST THE COMPENSATION OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS PURSUANT TO AND CONSISTENT WITH SENATE BILL 329 RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council introduce Ordinance No.24-01 for first reading by title only and waive full reading of Ordinance No. 24-01, amending the Maywood Municipal Code to adjust City Council member compensation consistent with Senate Bill 329.

BACKGROUND:

In August 1993, the City Council of the City of Maywood adopted Ordinance 93-405 to amend the monthly salary for members of the City Council. Relying on the formula found in California Government Code section 36516, the City Council set the salary at $556.45 per month. On June 29, 2023, the Governor signed Senate Bill 329 ("SB 329"), which amends Government Code Section 36516, allowing for the first statewide city council member pay cap increases in nearly four decades. SB 329 allows cities a one-time chance to “reset” city council salaries to take into account inflation, the work done by local government officials, and the need to ensure that people are not discouraged from seeking city office due to the low pay and high demands of that office.

On November 15, 2023, the City Council received a report on SB 329 and its short- and long-term impacts on Council compensation. At the conclusion of the City Council’s discussion, staff was directed by consensus to bring back an ordinance to codify the SB 329 compensation changes to effectuate the purposes of the bill.

DISCUSSION:

Government Code section 36516 set certain defined salary limits up to a certain maximum amount for city council members in general law cities depending on the size of a city’s residential population. The maximum amount is referred to as the "salary cap." The salary cap has stayed the same since 1984 and has not kept pace with inflation. SB 329 has increased the salary cap to account for inflation. Per the League of California Cities, California has seen an approximate 300% increase in the cost of living since 1984. The Legislature in adopting SB 329 declared that allowing cities to adjust their compensation for inflation “may help city councils become more diverse because increased compensation can help individuals from across different income levels receive sufficient income from their service to help ensure that they can continue to serve the public and support their families.” The League of California Cities in supporting the legislation said that lengthy time commitments and limited pay may discourage many individuals from running for council. Pursuant to SB 329,

the new salary cap or base pay amount for City council members in the City of Maywood and all other cities that have a population of 0 to 35,000 residents is $950 per month. A full analysis of SB 329 is in the November 15 staff report.

Accordingly, the proposed ordinance adjusts the monthly City Council salary to $950 per month. As required by SB 329, any increases to council member compensation must be enacted by ordinance and the ordinance must include findings demonstrating the need for the increased compensation. Those findings are set forth in the proposed ordinance and take into consideration that the statewide council salary cap has not been adjusted since 1984 and there has been an approximate 300% increase in the cost of living since 1984. In addition, the findings provide that serving as a member of the city council requires the expenditure of significant time and work in attending council meetings and other meeting assignments, including regional government body meetings, attending community events, reviewing and studying agenda reports, legal documents and state legislation, and reviewing financial materials, budgets and reports. More importantly, the findings agree with the Legislature’s declaration that increasing the compensation will assist in the creation of opportunities to encourage more diverse city councils. Specifically, increased compensation can help individuals from across different income levels receive sufficient income from their service to help ensure that they can continue to serve the public and support themselves and their families.

In compliance with Government Code section 36516.5, the increase in compensation, if adopted by the City Council, will not apply to the current members of the Council. The change will go into effect after the general municipal election in November 2024 when new council members are reelected or elected. At that time, current Ordinance No. 93-405 will be repealed.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Future budgets would reflect any increase in City Council salaries.

Moreover, in adopting SB 329, the State Legislature found and declared allowing cities to adjust council member salaries would help city councils become more diverse and would encourage more persons to consider public service as council members because the increased compensation could help individuals from across different income levels receive sufficient income to help ensure that they can continue to serve and support their families; WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and discussed the purpose and impact of SB 329 on the future governance of the City of Maywood at its meeting of November 15, 2023;

Section 3. A new Section 2-1.10 is hereby added to Chapter 1 (“City Council”) of Title 2 (“Administration”) of the Maywood Municipal Code to read as follows:

FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MOHAMMAD MOSTAHKAMI, PE
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO SUPERB ENGINEERING, INC. FOR THE CITY OF MAYWOOD BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT (CLEAN CALIFORNIA GRANT CYCLE 1)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council (1) approve the plans and specifications and award the construction contract to Superb Engineering, Inc. for the City of Maywood Beautification Project (Clean California Grant Cycle 1) for a total amount of $830,429.80 and authorize up to 20% for construction contingencies; and (2) Authorize Transtech Engineers, Inc. to proceed with Construction Management and Inspection Service, pursuant to their existing on-call agreement for consultant services.

BACKGROUND:

The Local Beautification project through Clean California Local Grant Program Cycle 1 was awarded to the City on June 1, 2022, for a total of $1,388,940. The improvements will be maintained through a combination of Gas Tax Funds and General Funds. This project is going to target multiple high priority areas in need. The scope of work on this project will include the beautification of target areas through greening, landscaping, and infrastructure improvement. Targeting these areas allows for an increase in accessibility and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians, on multiple segments of parkways and sidewalks, medians, and twenty (20) signal cabinets/utility boxes throughout the City. Some of the locations of the improvements will take place at:
• Carmelita Avenue and Loma Vista Avenue, between Fruitland Avenue and 52nd Street • Loma Vista Avenue and 52nd Street King Avenue, between Slauson Avenue and 59th Place • Mayflower Avenue between Slauson Avenue and 59th Place On September 14, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6265 authorizing the acceptance of grant funds awarded to the City through the Clean California Grant program. On March 22, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Professional Design Services for the City of Maywood Beautification Project (Clean California Grant Cycle 1).

On May 24, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Lost West to provide professional design services for the City of Maywood Beautification Project (Clean California Grant Cycle 1). Shortly after Lost West commenced design services and plans and specifications were completed in October 2023.

DISCUSSION:

On November 07, 2023, staff advertised the bid package for the City of Maywood Beautification Project.

However, no bids were received during the bid opening. On December 27, 2023, staff advertised the bid package for the Project once again. On January 18, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., a total of four (4) bids were received as shown below:

Contractor Name (from low to high cost) Base Bid Amount Superb Engineering, Inc. $830,429.80
Mariposa Landscape, Inc. $1,006,134.99
Green Giant Landscape, Inc. $1,266,380.00
PUB Construction, Inc. $1,621,225.44
Staff conducted a bid analysis for the apparent 1st low bidder, Superb Engineering, Inc., and verified CA contractor’s licensing, Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration, state and federal debarment files, and references. Based on the bid analysis, Superb Engineering, Inc. was found to be the lowest responsive bidder.

The proposed project is subject to CEQA Guidelines. Staff has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that it is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1:

Existing Facilities; (b) in that the proposed project consists of maintenance and minor alteration of existing topographical features that do not create additional automobile lanes.

The design plans and specifications conform to current professional engineering standards. The City's contract engineer has reviewed the design plans for the project and finds that the design is reasonable and meets professional engineering standards. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council also approve the plan and specifications, which are on file in the Department of Public Works.

Accordingly, Staff recommends that City Council approve the plans and specifications, award a contract to Superb Engineering, Inc. for a total amount of $830,429.80 and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract, authorize up to 20% for construction contingencies, and authorize Transtech Engineers, Inc. to proceed with Construction Management and Inspection Services, pursuant to their existing on-call agreement for consultant services.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total estimated construction cost including contingencies and construction management and inspection services is $1,145,993.12, which will be covered through Clean California Local Grant Program Cycle I grant allocation in the amount of $1,388,940 based on reimbursement; budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in FY 2023/2024.

Construction Contract $830,429.80
