BY: CALVIN KO, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING RESOLUTION NO. 6337 APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP APPLICATION PC23-04 (TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 84166) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council, after holding a public hearing, adopt Resolution No. 6337, approving Tentative Parcel Map application No. PC23-04, to merge parcels located at 4539 East 59th Place, Assessors Parcel Number ("APN") 6313-011-021 and 4545 East 59th Place, APN 6313-011-20 into one parcel and find the merger exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15332.
BACKGROUND:
Mathur Investments, LLC ("Applicant") is requesting approval of the merger of two adjacent parcels into one parcel for future development. The parcels are located on East 59th Place, between Atlantic Boulevard on the west, and King Avenue to the east. The current parcels have a zoning designation of Residential (R-3). The surrounding properties to the west, east, and south are also residential dwellings in the Residential (R-3) zone.
The lot was originally part of Tract 3648 lot number 1369. This lot was later divided into 4 parcels, two of which are the parcels that the applicant would like to merge.
The two parcels are owned by the applicant. Parcel "A" is located at 4539 East 59th Place. Parcel "B" is located directly above Parcel A on the same lot, and is given the address 4545 East 59th Place. The Applicant is proposing a residential addition to the existing structure. The City cannot approve development of a noncompliant structure and parcels. Parcel A contains a single family dwelling unit. The dimensions of Parcel A are approximately 39 feet wide by 70 feet deep. Parcel B contains a detached garage and is considered a flag lot. Parcel B dimensions are 1 foot wide by 70 feet deep on East 59th Place, and the remaining land is 40 feet wide by 70 feet deep. The parcels shall be merged to conform with the minimum city requirements.
On January 16, 2024 the Planning Commission of the City of Maywood held a noticed public hearing to review Tentative Parcel Map application No. PC23-04, to merge parcels located at 4539 East 59th Place, Assessors Parcel Number ("APN") 6313-011-021 and 4545 East 59th Place, APN 6313-011-20 into one parcel. The Planning Commission passed resolution No. 24-472 recommending that the Maywood City Council approve the Tentative Parcel Map Application PC23-04 (TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 84166).
DISCUSSION:
According to the City of Maywood Subdivision Ordinance Section 9 (b) the City Council shall hear all the evidence and shall act upon the Planning Commission's report, and shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the tentative map.
In accordance to Government Code Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the following findings must be made.
A. That the proposed map is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451.
The parcel merger is located in a residential zoned area of the General Plan. The consolidation of the parcels will meet the minimum lot width requirement of 40 feet as required in the Maywood Zoning Ordinance (MZO). Additionally, it will allow for the proper review of the proposed development of the lot based on the new property lines that will be established. The parcels have a zoning designation of Residential (R-3); they are not within a specific plan area. According to subsection 4010.50 of the MZO, the minimum lot size shall be 5,000 square feet. Parcel "A" is approximately 2,816 square feet.
Parcel "B" is approximately 2,877 square feet. Once the parcels are merged, it will be approximately 5,693 square feet. According to subsection 4010.60, the minimum lot width should be 40 feet. The dimensions of Parcel A are approximately 39 feet by 70 feet. Parcel B contains the detached garage and is considered a flag lot. Parcel B dimensions are 1 foot by 70 feet from East 59th Place, and 40 feet by 70 feet in the rear. The consolidated parcel will have a lot of width of 40 feet and a depth of 140 feet.
B. That the design or improvement of the proposed merger is consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
The proposed merger is consistent with the MZO zoning and usage as indicated below. The subject parcels along with the adjacent parcels are zoned Residential (R-3) and contain similar allowed uses.
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning for 4539 East 59th Place North - Garage, Residential (R-3)
South - Multifamily dwelling, Residential (R-3)
West - Multifamily dwelling, Residential (R-3)
East - Single family dwelling, Residential (R-3)
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning for 4545 East 59th Place North - Motel, Commercial (CM)
South - Singly family dwelling, Residential (R-3)
West - Multifamily dwelling, Residential (R-3)
East - Single family dwelling, Residential (R-3)
C. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.
The site is physically suitable for the type of residential development proposed. There is no change in the use of parcels. This is a consolidation of properties owned by the applicant. Parcel "A" contains a single family dwelling and Parcel "B" contains a garage.
D. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development. According to Section 4010.80 of the MZO, irrespective of its square footage, a lot with less than 50 feet in width can only have a single-family dwelling or a primary dwelling unit and second dwelling unit constructed pursuant to the provisions of Appendix C. The proposed addition is to the existing single family dwelling unit, along with the proposed detached accessory dwelling unit of 585 square feet.
E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantial and avoidable injuries to fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The merger is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that the merger is proposed within an entirely urbanized area and the parcels are graded and paved. The newly created parcel is 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 merged parcel or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the proposed merger is for parcel consolidation and continued use of the existing parcel.
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.
The design of the parcel does not contain easements for access through, or use of, property within the proposed merged parcels.
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 site.
Staff completed an initial environmental assessment of the proposed matter in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and recommends that the City Council determine the parcel merger is Categorically Exempt from CEQA review as a Class 32 exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 because the project falls within exemption requirements for the in-fill development projects.
Based on these findings, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6337 approving tentative parcel map application PC23-04 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 84166).

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, including the staff report, and pursuant to the provisions of the Maywood Subdivision Ordinance, the City Council finds as follows:
A. That the proposed TPM is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451. The parcel merger is located in a residential zoned area
of the General Plan. The consolidation of the parcels will meet the minimum lot width requirement of 40 feet as required in the Maywood Zoning Ordinance (MZO).

According to subsection 4010.60, the minimum lot width shall be 40 feet. The dimensions of Parcel A are approximately 39 feet by 70 feet. Parcel B contains the detached garage and is considered a flag lot. Parcel B dimensions are 1 foot by 70 feet from East 59th Place, and 40 feet by 70 feet in the rear. The consolidated parcel will have a lot width of 40 feet and a lot depth of 140 feet.
B. That the design or improvement of the proposed parcel merger is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. The proposed merger is consistent with the MZO zoning and usage as indicated below. The subject parcels along with the adjacent parcels are zoned Residential (R-3) and contain similar allowed uses.
C. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated. There is no change in use for the parcels. This is a consolidation of properties owned by the Applicant. Parcel "A" contains a single-family dwelling and Parcel "B" contains a garage

The proposed addition is to the existing single family dwelling unit, along with the proposed detached accessory dwelling unit.
E. That the design of the parcel merger or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantial and avoidable injuries to fish or wildlife or their habitat. The merger is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that the parcel merger is proposed within an entirely urbanized area and the parcel is graded and paved.

Section 2. The City Council finds that the Application is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council has analyzed the Application and has concluded that it is appropriate in this case to grant a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 because the proposed parcel merger is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; the site is within City limits on a site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; the site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; and approval would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: STEVE FOWLER, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION AND WAIVER OF FULL READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 24-02 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD ADDING SUBSECTION 4070.120 TO CHAPTER 4070 OF THE MAYWOOD ZONING ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH
CRITERIA FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce by title only and waive full reading of Ordinance 24-02, an Ordinance of the City of Maywood adding Subsection 4070.120 to Chapter 4070 to establish criteria for Accessory Dwelling Units.
BACKGROUND:
On January 30, 2024 the City of Maywood Planning Commission held a noticed public hearing to review Zone Text Amendment ZTA24-01 to amend the Maywood Zoning Ordinance to add Subsection 4070.120 to Chapter 4070 to establish criteria for Accessory Dwelling Units. The Planning Commission passed Resolution No. 24- 473 recommending that the Maywood City Council approve the Zone Text Amendment.
California’s housing production is not keeping pace with demand. In the last decade, fewer than half of the homes needed to keep up with the population growth were built. Additionally, new homes are often constructed away from job-rich areas. This lack of housing that meets people’s needs is impacting affordability and causing average housing costs, particularly for renters in California, to rise significantly.
Beyond traditional construction, widening the range of housing types can increase the housing supply and help more low-income Californians thrive. Examples of some of these housing types are accessory dwelling units (ADUs – also referred to as second units, in-law units, casitas, or granny flats) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). An ADU is accessory to a primary residence and has complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. These units can be attached, detached, or converted existing space. JADU is a specific type of conversion of existing space that is contained entirely within an existing or proposed singlefamily residence. ADUs tend to be significantly less expensive to build than new detached single-family homes and offer benefits that address common development barriers, such as environmental quality. Because ADUs must be built on lots with existing or proposed housing, they do not require a builder to pay for new land or other costly infrastructure that is often required when building a new single-family home.
In Government Code Section 65852.150, the California Legislature found and declared that, among other things, allowing ADUs in zones that allow single-family and multifamily uses provides additional rental housing and is an essential component in addressing California’s housing needs. Over the years, State ADU Law has been revised to improve its effectiveness at creating more housing units. Changes to State ADU Law effective
January 1, 2021, further reduce barriers, streamline approval processes, and expand capacity to accommodate the development of ADUs and JADUs.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Maywood (“City”) desires to adopt an accessory dwelling unit ordinance reflecting the state legislative changes that went into effect on January 1, 2023, as enacted under SB 897 and AB 2221 regarding Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (“JADUs”). The ordinance is to comply with State Law as well as the desire to retain local control to the maximum extent permitted by California Government Code Section 65852.2. The ordinance seeks to set guidelines and regulations in line with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) handbook that was created to assist local governments, homeowners, architects, and the public in encouraging the development of ADUs.
The Ordinance includes incentives to promote and encourage the construction of affordable ADUs. If a property owner would like to construct an affordable housing unit, the property owner must limit by deed restriction, covenant, and/or other instrument the occupancy of the ADU, based on the income limits and applicable rental rates established annually by the State of California. This document shall remain in effect for a minimum of 10 years and be recorded with the County Recorders Office on the property to notify any future buyers of the restrictions in place. The incentive includes all city planning, zoning, and impact fees shall be refunded after the building permit is final, excluding consultant review fees.
Additionally, the Ordinance, as included in the state requirements, will streamline the process for review. An application will need to be approved or denied within 60 days from the date the City receives a completed application. The information to help streamline this process is included in Subsection 4070.120 (D & E). These sections provide all the information needed by the applicant to obtain approval from the planning division. By including this in the Zoning Ordinance, it allows the applicants to design and plan for the project efficiently.
Furthermore, by creating the Development Standards included in this Ordinance, the City is simplifying and/or streamlining the process by providing a list of the requirements in one section of the code.
The proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the adoption of this ordinance is not a “project” pursuant to Section 15060 (c)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. Specifically, this ordinance only establishes criteria and a streamlined process for permitting accessory dwelling units and issuing permits and is merely authorizing administrative activities which will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

An ADU shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single- or multi-family primary dwelling. An ADU also includes the following: an efficiency unit as defined in Section 17958.1 of the Health and Safety Code and a manufactured home as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code. Accessory dwelling units may be attached to the primary dwelling unit, detached from the primary dwelling unit, or involve the conversion of floor area of an existing structure.

7. Junior Accessory Dwelling (“JADU”) is a unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size an contained entirely within a single-family residence. A JADU may include separate sanitation facilities or may share sanitation facilities with the existing dwelling unit. The JADU shall include a separate entrance from the main dwelling.
8. Accessory Structure means a structure that is accessory and incidental to a dwelling on the same lot.
C. General Provisions
1. Effect of Consistency
An ADU or JADU that conforms to the requirements of this chapter is:
a) Deemed consistent with the allowable density for the lot upon which such unit is proposed to be established.
b) Deemed consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot.
2. Exceptions to Ministerial Review.
Discretionary review may be required for ADU and JADU applications that deviate from the objective standards of this chapter may still be permitted but shall not qualify for ministerial review. Such applications shall be subject to applicable design review, variance, and other entitlements pursuant to Title 4070.120.
3. Processing Time
Zoning plan check shall be required for compliance with applicable zoning regulations and applicable building and construction requirements as set forth in Title 8 (Buildings Regulations) and Title 6 (Sanitation and Health). a) Ministerial Review Time. Except as set forth in Paragraph (2) below, applications must be approved or denied within 60 days from the date the City receives a complete application if there is an existing single- or multi-family dwelling on the lot or the application shall be deemed approved. Where an application deviates from the objective standards of this Chapter, the application may be reviewed pursuant to the procedures of Section 4070.120 (C)(2) Exceptions to Ministerial Review.
b) If the applicant requests a delay, the 60-day period shall be tolled for the period of the delay.
c) Exception to Review Time. If the permit application to create a purely ministerial ADU or JADU is submitted with an application to construct a new dwelling, the following shall apply:
i. The ADU or JADU shall not be subject to the 60-day approval period but shall instead be subject to the approval period for the new dwelling. However, the ADU and JADU itself shall be considered without a public hearing. ii. An ADU or JADU may only be constructed concurrently with or after the construction of a new dwelling unit on the same lot. A certificate of occupancy for an ADU shall not be issued prior to the certificate of occupancy for the new primary dwelling unit.
d) The City shall not deny a permit to an unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018 due to violations of building standards or this chapter provided that correction of the violation is not necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants of the structure. This provision shall not apply to substandard buildings.
e) If the City denies an application for an ADU or JADU, a full set of comments shall be included with the denial listing the items that are defective of deficient and shall describe how the application can be remediated by the applicant.

Examples of violations that require correction include, but are not limited to, gas line connections, electrical wiring of improper size and terminations, no venting for mechanical equipment, no natural light and ventilation, and structural stability.
The Director shall grant the delay in enforcement if the Director determines that correcting the violation is not necessary to protect health and safety, including but not limited to, building standards and fire and safety standards.
Section 2. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination.
The proposed Zoning Ordinance is not subject to CEQA because the adoption of this Zoning Ordinance is not a “project” pursuant to Section 15060 (c )(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, without regard to whether any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 4. Effective Date of Ordinance. This ordinance shall go into effect and be in full force and operation from and after thirty (30) days after its final passage and adoption.
Section 5. Certification and Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published or posted in the manner prescribed by law.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
DATE: February 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
BY: RAUL HERRERA, SENIOR ACCOUNTANT
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT FOR JANUARY 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report from July 2023 - January 2024.
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 2023 - January 2024 totaled $9,204,556.17, 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.
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 2023 through January 2024.
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.

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
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 36516 authorizes general law cities, including the City of Maywood, to pay city council members a monthly salary for their service up to a statutory limit based on city population; WHEREAS, the current City Council monthly salary is $556.45 per month, which was last adopted by Ordinance No. 93-405 on August 24,1993; WHEREAS, on June 23, 2023, the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 329 (“SB 329”), which made changes both to the amount of salary council members may receive and changes to the manner in which salary adjustments can be made; WHEREAS, Senate Bill 329 was adopted to “reset” city council salaries to take into account that the salary amounts listed in the Government Code had not been revised since 1984 and thus had not kept pace with inflation. 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;
WHEREAS, the monthly salary for members of the City Council can be adjusted in accordance with Government Code Section 36516 as amended by SB 329.

2 had an approximate 300% increase in the cost of living since 1984; (iii) the privilege to serve on the city council requires the expenditure of significant time during weekdays and weekends to attend meetings of the City as well as other meeting assignments as well as attend events in the community; (iv) city council service also involves time and work in reviewing staff reports, other agenda reports, legal documents, and state legislation that would impact the city; attending to representative assignments at regional government body meetings; staying informed on current local and state issues; and reviewing financial materials, budgets and reports among the many duties of a council member; and (v) increasing city council compensation will reflect the time and work being performed by members of the city council but more importantly, will create opportunities to assist the city in encouraging that its council become more diverse as stated by the findings of Senate Bill 329 that 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.
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:

AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
DATE: February 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY CITY CLERK/ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 6340 COMMITMENT TO
END CHILD MARRIAGE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 6340, announcing its commitment to end child marriage.
BACKGROUND:
Statistics from both the California Department of Public Health and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey indicate that child marriages have been steadily declining over the last couple of decades at the state and national level, but there continues to be 44 states that allow child marriages (defined as a marriage where one or both of the individuals is 17 years and younger). Since 2018, six states have banned child marriages without exceptions. As it stands, California is one of nine states that has no minimum age for child marriage when all exemptions are taken into account. These circumstances include the consent of a court clerk or judge, consent of one of the parents or legal guardians of the minor, if one of the parties is pregnant or has given birth to a child, or if the minor is emancipated.
Existing California Law
Current California law requires the parents and partners of minors wishing to marry to meet with court officials separately to determine if there is any coercion. Additionally, minors have to wait 30 days to get married unless they are 17 and have completed high school, or one of the partners is pregnant. However, there is still no minimum age for children to marry, if these conditions are met.
Recent Efforts to Change the Law in California
In 2018, in an attempt to set the course for banning child marriages in California, state legislature passed Senate Bill No. 273 (SB 273), which requires Family Court Services to separately interview the parties intending to marry or establish a domestic partnership and to prepare and submit to the court a written report containing recommendations for either granting or denying the parties permission to marry or establish a domestic partnership.
In 2021, Assembly Bill No. 1286 (AB 1286) was introduced to require local registrars to submit a report four times per year that included information concerning issued and denied marriage certificates involving minors. Existing law requires a local registrar of marriages to submit to the State Registrar, at least annually, all information concerning marriage certificates accepted during the calendar year in which one of both of the parties were minors at the time of solemnization of the marriage, but authorizes the local registrar to dispose of information like number of certificates, age of each party, and gender of each party after only two years. This information is available upon request through the California Department of Public Health the Office of Vital Records with an estimated wait time of five to seven weeks. This law restricts local registrars from submitting such information if the registrar did not accept any marriage
certificates in the same calendar year. California stopped tracking ages on marriage certificates in the 1980s, making statewide data less accessible. According to a study by the Pew Research Center, almost 5.5 of every 1,000 15-to 17-year-olds are married in California based on census data from 2014. AB 1286, however, died in January 2022.
Potential Effects of Child Marriages
Studies show that early marriages carry significant and long-term risk for children by increasing the risk of domestic and sexual violence, a negative impact on mental health and social life, lack of independence, and lack of education. A 2013 study by the Human Rights Watch indicated that approximately 14 million girls are married each year worldwide, and one in seven girls in developing countries is married before her 15th birthday.
According to Tahirih Justice Center’s publication, “Child Marriage Poses Serious Risks to Children”, child marriage has negative physical, economic, social, and mental impacts on children, especially girls. Teen girls who marry tend to have more children earlier and more closely spaced. They are more likely to have their first child before the age of 18 and 40 percent more likely to have a second within two years of their first. Young women and girls aged 16 to 19 face intimate partner violence victimization rates at almost three times the national level.
Child brides tend to come from poverty and remain in poverty. Girls who marry under the age of 19 are 50 percent more likely to drop out of high school and four times less likely to graduate from college. Women who marry before the age of 18 are more likely to report stressful life events, as well as present significantly more psychiatric disorders such as mood and anxiety disorders, including major depression and antisocial personality disorder.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed resolution formally expresses the City of Maywood's commitment to protecting all minors by ending child marriage and supporting an "End Child Marriage Under 18, No Exceptions" law. The resolution authorizes the City to use its website to publish necessary information pertaining to child marriage and to encourage other municipalities to take similar actions. Additionally, the resolution also calls on the state legislature to introduce and pass legislations that ends child marriage.
The attached resolution was drafted by Global Hope 365 for City Council consideration. This resolution unanimously passed in 13 cities, including the City of Culver City, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Mission Viejo, Costa Mesa, Tustin, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Buena Park, Santa Ana, and Villa Park. The resolution is currently pending approval in over 30 cities and counties.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no significant fiscal impact related to this action.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
DATE: February 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY CITY CLERK/ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVE AN INTERAGENCY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (LACMTA), IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE REGIONAL INTEGRATION OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ("RIITS"), LOCATED AT 1 GATEWAY PLAZA, LOS ANGELES, CA 90012, AND THE CITY OF
MAYWOOD
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve an Interagency Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), in its capacity as the Administrator of the Regional Integration of Intelligent Transportation Systems (RIITS), located at 1 Gateway Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and the City of Maywood; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the finalized agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2004, the State of California, Department of Transportation for District 7 (“Caltrans”), the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), and LACMTA entered into an Interagency MOU to establish RIITS for the purpose of exchanging infrastructure and operational resources, including, but not limited to, near real time traffic, transit, video, and other data relating to all modes of transportation.
In December 2004, LACMTA, Caltrans, and LADOT entered into Amendment No. 1 to the RIITS MOU to name LACMTA as the Administrator and delegate authority to LACMTA to administer, maintain, operate, manage and monitor RIITS access, codify system changes, process Member, Associate, and User agreements, and enforce the terms and conditions of the processed agreements; and establish a Configuration Management Committee (CMC) to oversee RIITS.
In July 2013, the City Council approved an MOU with LACMTA for an interagency CSP project to help support Metro Rapid operations. Following the execution of the agreement, LACMTA installed wireless local area network (WLAN) equipment associated with new CSP technologies for use on Rapid buses at designated intersections along the countywide Rapid bus route, which runs along a segment of Atlantic Boulevard through the City of Maywood. This ultimately helped close the technology gap in the system. The implementation of CSP technologies demonstrated its ability to enhance Metro Rapid services, resulting in substantial travel time
savings for the public without negatively impacting the overall transportation network. LACMTA has already installed CSP technologies in neighboring cities and in various parts of Los Angeles County.
On June 2, 2023, after a successful track record of completed infrastructure projects, the CMC voted and approved the City of Maywood to join the CMC as a voting Member on the condition that City exchanges information through RIITS.
DISCUSSION:
The City received a written notice dated January 31, 2024, from LACMTA, regarding NextGen CSP Upgrade and Expansion along Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard in Maywood, between Maywood Avenue and Alamo Avenue on Slauson Avenue, and between 55th Street and 61st Street on Atlantic Boulevard. The project will upgrade existing CSP corridors to support Metro Lines 108 and 260. In order to move forward and fulfill partnership commitments for both projects, LACMTA has requested that the City execute the attached RIITS agreement. If the City Council approves the agreement, it will allow for multi-agency coordination and collaboration through CSP and ICM. RIITS will collaborate with partners to implement the intelligent transportation systems architecture, reduce redundancies, leverage investments, and facilitate systemwide operational improvements that support regional mobility, safety, and sustainability goals. The CSP Program aims to enhance transit service throughout Los Angeles County by granting signal priority to buses, while the ICM Program seeks to actively manage traffic congestion.
By approving the MOU, the City agrees to:
• Share operational and infrastructure resources for CSP; • Share operational and infrastructure resources for ICM; • Agrees to participate in CSP and ICM projects;
• Agrees that all information, except Transportation Data, shall be kept private; and • Abide by and uphold the terms set forth in the agreement.
There is no implementation schedule associated with the project at this time. Staff recommends that the Maywood City Council approve the MOU and authorize the City Manager to execute the finalized agreement and allow staff to work with LACMTA in the implementation of any future CSP, ICM, and RIITS technology projects.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact with the approval of this MOU. However, should the MOU be approved between the City and LACMTA, the City retains responsibility for cost associated with the operations and maintenance of the local traffic control system, including CSP improvements, currently supported by Street Lightning Assessment District funds.

Next Gen Countywide Signal Priority Upgrade and Expansion
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Countywide Signal Priority (CSP) Upgrade and Expansion NextGen Project (NextGen) will deploy Bus Signal Priority (BSP) systems along several corridors throughout Los Angeles County. The CSP systems to be deployed will be based on the technologies, hardware, and software developed, tested, and placed into “on the street” operation as defined by Metro’s CSP Standard.
CSP Compliant Systems have been deployed throughout Los Angeles County along several major corridors.
This project seeks to commission new BSP systems along some corridors and modernize existing systems for others.
The project includes the design, procurement, installation, and testing of a bus signal priority (BSP) system to support Metro’s Bus service. Traffic signal improvements other than controller and controller software upgrades, such as cabinet change-outs and installation of new traffic signal cables, and street improvements, such as ADA improvements, curb replacements, median modifications, and access ramps are not included in the scope of work.
As part of the project, the design team will conduct meetings with each of the affected local agencies responsible for traffic signal operations and maintenance to discuss the placement of the WLAN equipment including antennas, enclosures, and hardware mounted in the intersection controller cabinets as well as the use of existing conduits, the possible use of existing signal interconnect, communication, traffic controller and controller cabinet upgrades, and equipment installation requirements in the following corridors:
• Line 260 Atlantic Blvd
• Line 180 Colorado Blvd
• Line 210: Crenshaw Blvd
• Line 70 Garvey Ave/Cesar Chavez Ave
• Line 212: Hawthorne Blvd
• Line 60: Long Beach Blvd
• Line 111: Florence Ave
• Line 115: Manchester Blvd

Why ICM?
Questions?
I-710 ICM Corridor
Integrated Corridor Management (ICM)
Fact Sheet
Overview:
With financial and political
constraints placed on reducing
congestion, one optimal solution is
to integrate the operation of all
transportation networks within a
corridor to maximize the
effectiveness of its infrastructure
capacity and to proactively manage
incident response. Integrated
Corridor Management (ICM) is an
Intelligent Transportation System
(ITS) strategy to manage the
capacity of a corridor utilizing
existing and innovative technologies.
ICM maximizes the use of ITS
infrastructure to streamline operations
while minimizing the financial impact.
Source: FHWA
After concluding the Los Angeles Regional Integrated Corridor Management Assessment (LARICMA) study in 2019, Interstate 710 (I-710) was identified as a suitable corridor for ICM deployment. While development of advanced traffic management control systems on major arterials has provided great benefits, local agencies/operators currently work independently with different systems among the corridor. Using integrated technologies and proactive response strategies, the I-710 ICM Corridor will be able to effectively manage congestion during incidents and emergencies.
Key Facts
Stakeholders
Limits: SR-91 (Alondra Blvd) to SR-60 (Caesar
Chavez Ave) - 12 miles long
Parallel Arterials: Atlantic Blvd., Garfield Ave.,
Eastern Ave., and Mednik Ave.
Improvements: Communication Upgrades,
Signal Upgrades, Signal Timing, Changeable
Message Signs (CMS), Ramp Metering,
Detection, CCTVs, Lane Closure System (LCS), &
Travel Time Systems
Costs:
Project Area
$40,000,000 - $45,000,000
It’s time to come together to
manage the corridor as a
system rather than individual
transportation networks.
ICM can:
• Increase corridor throughput
• Optimize efficiency of nearby
corridor capacity to manage
congestion on overloaded
networks
• Develop response plans for
incidents and emergencies in
the region
• Facilitate route/mode shifts and
intermodal transfers
• Increase reliability and
predictability of travel time
We can’t build our way out of congestion.
So we have to change how we manage it.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.
DATE: February 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: CLAUDIA ZAVALA, COMMUNITY SERVICES SUPERVISOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROPRIATING $88,814 FROM THE LOCAL FISCAL
RECOVERY FUND TO SPONSOR YEARLY PROGRAMMING FOR MAYWOOD
RESIDENTS AT THE YMCA
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider appropriating funds in the amount of $88,814 from the Local Fiscal Recovery funds to sponsor yearly programming for Maywood residents at the YMCA.
BACKGROUND:
On February 22, 2023, the City Council approved financial assistance for Maywood residents to access swim lessons, open swim opportunities, water aerobics, youth sports, and access to summer day camp. On April 22, 2023 the City Council also approved financial assistance for teen sleepaway camp and summer family sleepaway camp.
The budget for the spring and summer programming totaled $98,575.
The following provides a summary of the budget allocated, and the actual funds expended for the spring and summer 2023 programming:
Program Allocated Actual
Swim Lesson Sessions - $50 per participant 280 lessons x $50 = $14,000 (40 participants each session/month for 7 months)
243 lessons x $50 = $12,150 (37 participants)
Summer Day Camp - $99 per participant for 8
weeks
50 participants x 8 weeks = $39,600 46 participants x 9 weeks = $40,986 4 participants x 5 weeks = $1,980
4 participants x 3 weeks = $1,188
Total - $44,154
Family Sleepaway Summer Camp - $645 per family 15 families x $645 = $9,675 + $1,700 (bus) = $11,375
22 families x $645 = $14,190 + $1,700 (bus) =
$15,890
Teen Sleepaway Summer Camp - $755 per
participant
20 participants x $755 = $15,100 + $1,700 (bus) =
$16,800
5 participants x $755 = $3,775 + $1,700 (bus) =
$5,475
Water Aerobics - June - September (Staffing Fee
only)
June -September = $2,400 for staff hours No funds were expended. The YMCA received a grant that was used to cover the expenses for
water aerobics totaling $2,400. Seventeen (17)
Maywood residents registered for the class.
Youth Sports League
Dodgers Dreamteam - $20 per participant
Jr. Clippers Basketball I & II - $80 per participant
Jr. Galaxy Soccer - $60 per participant
LA Kings Ball Hockey - $25 per participant
40 participant per league
Dodgers Dreamteam - $20 x 40 participants = $800
Jr. Clippers Basketball I - $80 x 40 participants =
$3,200
Jr. Clippers Basketball II - $80 x 40 participants =
$3,200
No funds were expended. Following the Council's
funding approval, the YMCA opted to incorporate
sports leagues into its membership offerings.
While there was interest from Maywood residents
without YMCA memberships, half of the available
slots were claimed by existing YMCA members
Jr. Galaxy Soccer - $60 x 40 participants = $2,400
LA Kings Ball Hockey - $20 x 40 participants =
$1,000
Total for 200 participants = $10,600
residing in Maywood, with the remainder taken by
other members of other communities.
Family Swim Passes - $4 entry fee for non-YMCA
members for pool usage
April - August 2023 | 950 swim passes x $4 =
$3,800
No funds were expended. YMCA received a grant
that was used to cover the expenses for family
swim. 950 swim passes were given to non-YMCA
Maywood residents, totaling $3,800.
Total $98,575 funds allocated for programming for
residents in 2023
$77,669 was the actual expense for
programming.
DISCUSSION:
Due to the lack of participation by residents and other community members, the YMCA will not be offering Teen Camp, Jr. Clippers Basketball II League and LA Kings Hockey League. All participants must be residents of the City of Maywood and non-ymca member to participate.
In preparation for the upcoming spring/summer season, staff has worked with the YMCA to develop and create the following programming to be considered by the City Council:
Family Swim
Dates Number of Passes Cost per Person Total
April - September 2024 1000 $4.00 1000 passes x $4/person = $4,000 Swim Lessons
Classes are available for the ages of 6-36 months (Parent & Child) classes, ages 3-12, Youth Swim Lessons, and Teen & Adult Lessons for ages 13 and up.
Class Dates Number of participants Cost Total
April-October 2024 (Saturdays) 40 participants per month, 280 participants for 7 months
$60.00 per participant 280 participants x $60/participant = $16,800
Summer Day Camp
Summer Day Camp at the YMCA will be available Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Camp is for children 5 – 12 years of age.
Dates Number of participants Cost Total
June 17-August 9, 2024 (8 week) 50 participants $109.00 per participant 50 participants x $109/perticipant = $43,600
Water Aerobics
Water exercise classes are a fun way to use the resistance and buoyancy of the water to improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility. Classes will be offered twice (2) a week during the months of July – September 2024. Class will have twenty-five (25) non-YMCA Maywood residents. The City will only be charged for staffing costs.
Staff Pay-rate Total Hours for July-September Total
Instructor Rate $20/hour (2 hour/class) 50 total staff hours worked $20/hr x 50 total hrs = $1,000 AQ Clerk Rate $16.78/hour (2 hour/class) 50 total staff hours worked $16.78/hr x 50 total hrs = $839 Lifeguard Rate $18/hour (2 hour/class) 50 total staff hours worked $18/hr x 50 total hrs = $900 Total Cost Total cost for staff hours = $2,739
Family Sleepaway Summer Camp
The activities offered include swimming, hiking, wall climbing, archery, and crafts, along with breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided. The price covers lodge accommodation, meals, and activities. However, transportation fees are not included. We have budgeted for two (2) buses to accommodate an average family of 4–6 members. If transportation by bus is not required, no charges will be applied to the City. Tentative dates will be the end of July or first weekend of August 2023 (Friday - Sunday).
Number of families Cost per family Cost for charter bus Total 15 families $675 cost per family x 15 families =
$10,125
Two (2) charter buses are needed.
Each bus costs $3,400.
$3,400 x 2 (buses) = $6,800
$10,125 cost + $6,800 (bus) =
$16,925
Sports Programs
Age group (5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 years old). To ensure that Maywood residents without a YMCA membership have the opportunity to participate, the YMCA will reserve 25 spots for each league exclusively for these individuals.
Sports League Cost per participant Number of participants Total Dodgers RBI Spring $25 25 $25/participant x 25 participants = $625
Dodgers RBI Summer $25 25 $25/participant x 25 participants = $625
LA Galaxy Soccer Fall $60 25 $60/participant x 25 participants = $1,500
Jr. Clippers Basketball Fall $80 25 $80/participant x 25 participants = $2,000
Total cost for 100 participants =
$4,750
Total Sponsorship - $88,814

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 15.
DATE: February 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: CLAUDIA ZAVALA, COMMUNITY SERVICES SUPERVISOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND
APPLICATION FROM MAYWOOD CENTER FOR ENRICHED STUDIES (MACES) IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider approving the Community Benefit Fund Application from MaCES in the amount of $10,000.
BACKGROUND:
The Application is dated January 19, 2024, and was received by email from the applicant. The City of Maywood has established a “Community Based Fund” to support community-based programs and activities.
Applicant eligibility is determined by the City’s Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Procedures (“Guidelines”) for the distribution of funds to eligible organizations that provide community-based programs, community activities and educational activities.
Most recently, on October 12, 2022, the City Council awarded MaCES $9,800 for the funding of the following programs: Marching Band Camp and the student incentives to promote school attendance. The final report is attached to this report.
DISCUSSION:
The school's application is requesting funds for the following student programs:
A – MaCES Boys and Girls Wrestling Team Tournament: $5,000 Funds will be used for a total of eleven (11) tournament entry fees for both the boys and girls wrestling teams.
Due to a rise in student enrollment in wrestling, there is a shortage of head/ear protection and knee pads for the athletes. Funds will be allocated toward acquiring additional headgear and knee pads to ensure the safety and well-being of the athletes.
B – MaCES Student Attendance incentive Funds: $5,000
The attendance incentive funds will be used to promote a school environment where students feel safe, welcomed, and excited to be physically in school learning. Funds will be used to purchase items 100th Day Celebration, 125th Day Attendance Celebration, 150th Day Attendance Celebration, 175th Day of School, End of Year Festival 2024 and End of Year Graduation, awards, and raffles.
Qualification Review:
Per the grant guidelines, the applicant, MaCES, is eligible as it is a local school that provides programs and services to residents of the city. MaCES serves students in grades 6-12th with 80% of the student body being residents of the City. In addition, per the Grant guidelines, the maximum amount will be no more than $5,000.
However, in limited circumstances, the City Council has the discretion to award grants in the amount not to exceed $10,000.00.
MaCES meets all the grant requirements, staff recommends that the city council approve the application for funding.
Accordingly, based on the documentation provided by the applicant in support of their application, Staff recommends that the City Council approve their request.

MaCES Magnet Wresting Team: $5,000
MACES Student Attendance Incentive Funds: $5,000
Objective: Improve Chronic Student Absences
Regular and punctual school attendance is expected of all Maywood Center for Enriched (MaCES) students. LAUSD’s current goal is to ensure outstanding attendance to support consistent in-class learning and for all students to maintain a Proficient/Advanced attendance rate of 96% (Less than 7 absences per school year).
We extend our sincere appreciation for your generous support last 2022-23 school year, which significantly contributed to the success of our attendance incentive program. During the 2021- 22 school year, we had 45.58% (565 students) of our student population who were not meeting the district goal of 96% attendance as a result of the pandemic and students adjusting to returning to school. However, your commitment to our students has had a lasting impact.
Please see the chart below that illustrates our attendance growth, thanks to your funding to support our attendance incentive program:
School Year Overall attendance
2021-22 92.1%
2022-23 95%
2023-24 As of Dec 2023 96.1%
MaCES currently has 1,133 enrolled students and we are committed to continue creating a school environment where students feel safe, welcomed, and excited to be physically in school learning. As of December 2023, we are meeting the district goal of 96% attendance, however, to ensure that we maintain our proficient attendance and meet the district goal of 100% graduation, we need to continue our attendance incentive program for all students, including recognition events, attendance celebrations every 25 days, and spirit days.
