AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1.

DATE: August 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: KAREN INIGUEZ, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ANALYST
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 6376, A RESOLUTION OF THE

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING NEW PARK

USAGE FEES FOR THE USE OF THE DODGERS DREAMFIELD AT MAYWOOD

PARK AND NEW RENTAL REGISTRATION AND OTHER FEES AND PENALTIES

UNDER THE RENTAL REGISTRY PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF MAYWOOD RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing to adopt Resolution No. 6376, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood, California, adopting New Park Usage Fees for the use of The Dodgers Dreamfield at Maywood Park and New Rental Registration and other Fees and Penalties under the Rental Registry Program in the City of Maywood.

BACKGROUND:

On August 23, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 23-07 Establishing Rent Stabilization Regulations to the Maywood Municipal Code. This allowed for the establishment and creation of the Housing Division and the rental registry program. Once the program went into effect, the City Council directed staff to conduct a fee study to determine the full cost of administering and enforcing the new program. In addition, due to the renovation of the Dodgers Dreamfield at Maywood park, for cost recovery reasons, the Council directed staff to conduct a comprehensive fee study to determine fees such as maintenance, associated administrative costs for upkeep, adjacent bleachers, restrooms and batting cages.

On September 28, 2023, the City Council released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to advertise the comprehensive fee study for the Rent Stabilization Program and the rental of the Dodgers Dreamfield at Maywood Park. The City selected the most qualified proposal, Revenue & Cost Specialist, LLC, (RCS) to create the comprehensive fee study. RCS held weekly meetings with City staff to gather data regarding time and materials for various tasks, review neighboring city fees, and conduct relevant research. Based on these meetings, RCS developed several drafts of the fee schedules that were distributed to key City staff for review and updates.

On July 24, 2024, a City Council Meeting was held where the items were taken as Discussion/Action Items. At the meeting, the RCS consultant presented an overview of the fee study and methodology. The City Council reviewed and discussed each fee and agreed with the recommendation of the rent stabilization fees for Option A and directed staff on what changes to make to move forward with the new park usage fees, and to set a public hearing for August 28, 2024. The public hearing notice was published on August 15, 2024, and again on August 22, 2024, in a newspaper of general circulation as required by law.

Page 5 of 207 ends

Upon conclusion of the public hearing, staff recommends the City Council adopt the new park usage fees and rental registration and other fees and penalties.

DISCUSSION:

Once approved by the City Council, the Rent Stabilization fees and the Dodgers Dreamfield at Maywood Park will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact for Option A on Rent Stabilization is projected to be $434,592 annually for operating the Rent Stabilization Program. Ultimately, the park usage fee established by the City Council will assist with offsetting the maintenance of the field.

5. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.

6. Authorize the City Clerk to certify the adoption of the Resolutions of Necessity.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council has before it four proposed Resolutions of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests described above and in the attached Resolutions of Necessity in connection with the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (“Project”). The City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests for public use, namely for public street, roadway, utilities, drainage and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project.

The City seeks to construct the Project to alleviate congestion, increase capacity, and improve traffic flow operation within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The level of service at the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard (“Slauson/Atlantic intersection”) is deficient due to heavy demand of eastbound leftturning vehicles traveling to the I-710 onramp on Atlantic. This results in negative impacts to Slauson Avenue. The City seeks to improve circulation at Slauson/Atlantic intersection by adding a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements that upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve operations.

As part the Project, the City will also close the mid-block median opening along Slauson Avenue to provide a longer eastbound dual left turn storage pocket and eliminate the conflicting left turn movements to and from the Food4Less commercial center. The City plans to reduce the width of the existing median islands along the east and west legs of Slauson Avenue and north leg of Atlantic Boulevard and remove the existing median along the south leg of Atlantic Boulevard of the intersection to accommodate the dual left turn lanes. The existing landscaping/trees, utilities and City entry monument signs within these median islands would be removed or relocated. In addition, the City plans to construct new curb returns at all four quadrants of the Slauson /Atlantic intersection. Further, the City plans to restripe lanes and the crosswalks to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

Both Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard and the associated intersections will be accessible to motorists and pedestrians during the estimated 12-month construction period of the Project. During the morning and evening peak hours, however, there may be a need for temporary lane closures due to construction activities. The City Contractor

Page 13 of 207 ends

will prepare and implement a Traffic Control Plan (TCP) to reduce the impacts and provide continuous and safe operation of the roadways and intersections and worker safety during Project construction. The City’s construction and operational-related activities would be focused on the Slauson/ Atlantic intersection.

The Project is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which aims to accommodate the level of traffic generated by current and future development within the City and by present and future through traffic created by regional traffic growth. (Circulation Element, pg. 2). The Project furthers Goal 2 of the Circulation Element, which seeks to “provide a local street system that accommodates current and future traffic volumes” because the proposed roadway widening will better accommodate existing and projected traffic conditions. The existing conditions as of May 2022 indicate that the level of service (LOS) in the morning and evening are both at LOS “C”.

If the Project improvements are not constructed, it is expected that by 2035, the level of service will deteriorate to LOS D” in the a.m. hours and to LOS “F” in the evening. The implementation of the planned improvements for the Project is expected to improve the level of service to LOS “B” in the morning and LOS “C” in the evening.

The Project aids the implementation of Policy 2.1 and Policy 2.2 of the Circulation Element because the widening improvements at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection will reduce considerable traffic delays on the City’s Major Highwaysduring the morning and evening peak hours. The Project furthers Policy 2.7 of the Circulation Element by accommodating Caltrans Truck Turning Standards via roadway widening including reconstruction of the curb returns at all four corners of the intersection.

To secure grant funding, City Staff presented a funding request to the Los Angeles County Transportation Authority (Metro) Interstate-710 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the design and environmental phase of the Project in 2020. On September 1, 2020, the funding agreement between the City and Metro was executed and on July 19, 2021, the funding agreement was amended to extend the date of Project funds to June 30, 2024. City Council approved a professional services agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to provide design, Project Approval and Environmental Documents (PA/ED), and right of way acquisition services for the Project on April 13, 2023. The PA/ED and design phase commenced in May 2022 and is substantially complete, and the Right of Way acquisition process has been initiated. The funding agreement was further amended to extend the date of Project funds to June 30, 2027.

On March 27, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6342, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood, California, Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act for the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project. Prior to the adoption of Resolution No. 6342, the City met all requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) including preparation of an Initial Study and preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program based on the findings of the Initial Study. The evidence considered by the City Council is discussed in the Environmental Analysis section below.

Atlantic Boulevard and Slauson Avenue are the two Major Highways in the City of Maywood that provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the freeway system. (City of Maywood Circulation Element, pg. 10).

DISCUSSION:

Authorization for Acquisition by Eminent Domain of the Subject Property Interests and Findings Required for Adoption of Resolutions of Necessity
The City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests described above for public use, namely for the construction of public street, sidewalk, public utilities, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City to acquire property by eminent domain by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, California Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, and 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law.

To adopt each of the proposed Resolutions of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests, the City Council must find and determine with respect to each Resolution of Necessity that:

1. The public interest and necessity require the Project;

2. The Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury;

3. The Subject Property Interests described in each Resolution of Necessity are necessary for the

Page 14 of 207 ends

Project; and

4. The City has made an offer as required by Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner or owners of record of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire.

The amount of just compensation is not an issue before the City Council at this hearing. The hearing relates to issues A, B, C, and D above. The amount of just compensation would be determined in the eminent domain proceedings that would be filed if the City Council, in its sole discretion, adopts the proposed Resolutions of Necessity.

Environmental Analysis
The environmental effects of the Project and the acquisition of the real property interests needed for the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) prepared for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The City, as lead agency for the Project, prepared an initial study in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. Based on the findings of the IS, a MND, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”). The MND and MMRP concluded that the Project, with proposed mitigation measures, would not have a significant effect on the environment.

The IS, MND, and MMRP (collectively “Environmental Documents”) were released for a 30-day public comment period from February 21, 2024 until March 21, 2024 in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. The Environmental Documents were also posted with the State Clearinghouse, Los Angeles County Clerk’s Office, and on the City’s website. The City received one comment letter on the Environmental Documents regarding the proposed Project from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The City prepared and provided a response to the comment letter. No additional CEQA correspondence was received during the public review period.

The response to the comment is incorporated into the Final MND.

At its meeting on March 27, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 6342, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood California, Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act for the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvement Project. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council found that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals to Resolution No. 6342 are true and correct, and incorporated said Recitals into the Resolution.

In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found, in its independent judgment after considering all the evidence in the record of proceedings for the Project, including without limitation the MND and testimony, if any, presented at the public meeting, that: (i) the MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (ii) the Project will not result in a significant effect on the environment because the mitigation measures described in the MMRP are incorporated as part of the Project; and (iii) there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that the Project would result in any significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level through implementation of those mitigation measures identified in the MND and included in the MMRP.

Accordingly, the City Council found that the Project will not cause a significant unmitigated environmental effect.

Further, in adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found that the MMRP was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA and that such program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during Project implementation.

On August 19, 2024, City Staff reviewed Resolution No. 6342 and the Environmental Documents in connection with the City’s review of the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests and determined that the Project and acquisition of the Subject Property Interest are consistent with the MND and MMRP. Pursuant to the criteria of Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code, City Staff concluded that no substantial changes have occurred in the Project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under with the Project is undertaken and the City has not obtained any new information of substantial importance that would require further environmental analysis. These environmental findings are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project.

City’s Actions Pursuant to Government Code Section 7260 et seq.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 7260, et seq., the City of Maywood obtained fair market value appraisals of the Subject Property Interests and the larger parcels of which they are a part. The City set just compensation for the

Page 15 of 207 ends

Subject Property Interests in accordance with the fair market values. The City extended written offers pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. The City retained Epic Land Solutions, Inc. (Epic) as its acquisition consultant to assist the City with the City’s good faith negotiations for the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.

Pollo Loco Property Interests
The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record, El Pollo Loco Inc., a Delaware corporation. The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owner, as well as a Possession and Use Agreement which would grant the City the ability to move forward with construction while allowing the owner more time to consider the offers, obtain appraisals, and negotiate the purchase price with the City for the Subject Property Interests.

Epic reached out to the owner to discuss the written offer. Counsel for El Pollo Loco discussed the acquisition with the City Attorney’s Office. The permanent easement area was re-surveyed to ensure that the monument sign was outside of the public right of way and not impacted by the Project. As of August 15, 2024, El Pollo Loco and its counsel are analyzing the terms of the Possession and Use Agreement. A negotiated agreement has not been reached. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity at this time. The adoption of a Resolution does not preclude the parties from continuing their good faith negotiations for the City’s acquisition of the Pollo Loco Property Interests.

Maywood Village Property Interests
The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record, Maywood Village Center LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owner, as well as a Possession and Use Agreement which would grant the City the ability to move forward with construction while allowing the owner more time to consider the offers, obtain appraisals, and negotiate the purchase price with the City for the Subject Property Interests.

Epic and the owner’s representative discussed the offer in depth and the concerns of Maywood Village Center regarding the acquisition of the Maywood Village Property Interests and impact of the construction of the Project on the Maywood Village parcel. The parties engaged in good faith negotiations and have reached a verbal agreement on the purchase price. Maywood Village Center is reviewing the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents provided by the City. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity at this time. The adoption of a Resolution does not preclude the parties from continuing their good faith negotiations regarding the terms of the purchase of the Maywood Village Property Interests.

Kim Property Interests
The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owners of record, Tony Y. Kim and Joung-Sun Kim, husband and wife, a 1/2 interest to be held as community property and Yong-Tai Kim and Soon-Ai Kim, husband and wife, a 1/2 interest to be held as community property. The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owners, as well as a Possession and Use Agreement which would grant the City the ability to move forward with construction while allowing the owners more time to

Page 16 of 207 ends

consider the offers, obtain appraisals, and negotiate the purchase price with the City for the Kim Property Interests.

Epic contacted the owners and was informed by the owners that they will be obtaining their own independent appraisal. The owners also informed Epic that they will be making vesting changes to their deed because one of the vested owners passed away recently. The owners informed Epic that they are currently working on removing the deceased relative from the deed. On June 18, 2024, the owners informed Epic that they expect their independent appraisal to be complete in two-three weeks. The owners or their representative later informed Epic that the owners were considering selling their parcel. They did not, however, provide to Epic details regarding the potential purchaser. As of August 15, 2024, the owners have not confirmed that their appraisal is completed. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity at this time.

The adoption of a Resolution of Necessity does not preclude the parties from continuing their good faith negotiations regarding the City’s acquisition of the Kim Property Interests.

J&MGC Property Interests
The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record, J&MGC, LLC, a California limited liability company. The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025.

Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owners, as well as a Possession and Use Agreement which would grant the City the ability to move forward with construction while allowing the owners more time to consider the offers, obtain appraisals, and negotiate the purchase price with the City for the J&MGC Property Interests.

Epic contacted the owner to discuss the offer and the Project. J&MGC requested that the City purchase the approximate 99 square foot area proposed for the permanent right of way easement in fee instead of as an easement. The City and J&MGC negotiated in good faith the purchase price and terms of the acquisition of the property interests needed from the J&MGC Parcel and reached an agreement on the City’s purchase of the approximate 99 square foot fee area and approximate 1,906 square foot permanent easement. The City Attorney’s office has worked with counsel for J&MGC on the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents. The City understands that counsel for J&MGC circulated the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents to J&MGC for signature. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity at this time. If the signed Purchase and Sale Agreement is received before the hearing, City Staff will recommend that the City Council take off calendar the hearing regarding the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity for the J&MGC Property Interests.

City’s Actions Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 Pollo Loco Property Interests

REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project
The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity. The Project will alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood.

Page 18 of 207 ends

The proposed street improvements, sidewalk, public utility, drainage and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection. The City of Maywood’s circulation system bears a significant burden due to the City’s dense development and its location to the nearby freeway system.

Alleviating congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is in the public interest and necessity and will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways, which provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including Interstate 710 (I-710) and Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours.

The level of service at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is deficient due to heavy demand of eastbound left-turning vehicles traveling to the I-710 onramp on Atlantic. This results in negative impacts to Slauson Avenue. As planned and designed, the City seeks to improve circulation at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection by adding a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements that upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. The improved circulation is also in the public interest and necessity because it will allow emergency vehicles to have better access. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve operations.

As part the Project, the City will also close the mid-block median opening along Slauson Avenue to provide a longer eastbound dual left turn storage pocket and eliminate the conflicting left turn movements to and from the Food4Less commercial center. As planned and designed, the Project will reduce the width of the existing median islands along the east and west legs of Slauson Avenue and the north leg of Atlantic Boulevard and remove the existing median along the south leg of the Atlantic Boulevard intersection to accommodate the dual left turn lanes. The existing landscaping/trees, utilities and City entry monument signs within these median islands would be removed or relocated. In addition, the City plans to construct new curb returns at all four quadrants of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection. Further, the City plans to restripe lanes and the crosswalks to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

The Project, as planned and designed, is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which aims to accommodate the level of traffic generated by current and future development within the City and by present and future through traffic created by regional traffic growth. (Circulation Element, pg. 2). Goal 2 of the Circulation Element is to provide a local street system that accommodates current and future traffic volumes. Policy 2.1 of Goal 2 aims to update current roadway standards to reflect existing conditions and conform to County standards.

Policy 2.2 of Goal 2 aims to implement all circulation improvements pursuant to the Master Circulation Plan (depicted in Figure C-2 of the Circulation Element). The Project will further the goals of the Circulation Element by improving the poor operating conditions at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and alleviating the significant burden that Maywood’s circulation system currently bears. The widening of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and upgrading of traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance traffic safety will enable the City to better support current and future traffic volumes.

The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon). Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment

Page 19 of 207 ends

to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

The Project is Planned and Located in the Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury
The Project is planned and located in the manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. The Project is planned and designed to construct necessary public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements to alleviate congestion, improve safety and traffic circulation consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The Project is intended to improve the operation of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection, relieve congestion during both a.m. and p.m. peak hours, and alleviate existing queuing conditions to accommodate projected traffic in the area. The location of the Project’s road widening is at the intersection of the City’s only major highways. As mentioned above, Atlantic Boulevard and Slauson Avenue provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the I-710 and the I-5. The location of the Project, as planned and designed, is most compatible with the greatest public good because the proposed road widening is located at the intersection of the primary facilities in the City for local and through traffic. The City’s major highways currently experience poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors.

The Project, as planned and located, is also planned and designed to minimize the impact on private parcels. The Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of permanent easements and temporary construction easements that are necessary to accommodate dual left turn lanes at the intersection in the eastbound Slauson Avenue and northbound Atlantic Boulevard direction, reconstruct the curb returns at all four corners of the intersection, and re-stripe the roadway and intersection to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations. Further, the Subject Property Interests are required to construct new ADA-compliant curb ramps and to relocate certain utilities. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or people.

The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon). Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project

Page 20 of 207 ends

is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

The Subject Property Interests Described in each Resolution of Necessity are Necessary for the Project The City cannot construct the Project, as planned and designed, without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests. As discussed above, the Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of permanent easements and temporary construction easements that are necessary for the construction of the public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements in connection with the Project. The permanent easements from the Pollo Loco Parcel, Maywood Village Parcel, Kim Parcel, and J&MGC Parcel are required to construct the improvements proposed at the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard. The temporary construction easements on each of these parcels are needed for a term of twelve months to facilitate the construction of the Project. The Project cannot be constructed without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.

The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon). Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

To the extent that the Project will impact interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

RESOLUTION NO. 6377

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING CERTAIN REAL

PROPERTY INTERESTS NECESSARY FOR PUBLIC

PURPOSES AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION

THEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH THE SLAUSON AVENUE

AND ATLANTIC BOULEVARD CONGESTION RELIEF

IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
INTERESTS ON APNS 6313-010-001 6313-010-002, 6313-
010-003, & 6313-010-030)
WHEREAS, the City of Maywood, California (“City” or “Maywood”) seeks to construct the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (“Project”) to alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve congestion at the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard intersection (Slauson/Atlantic intersection). The City of Maywood’s circulation system bears a significant burden due to the City’s dense development and its location to the nearby freeway system; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the Project will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways that provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the Interstate 710 (I-710) and the Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours; and WHEREAS, as part of the Project, the City will construct a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements to upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve signal operation; and WHEREAS, the Project requires the acquisition of an approximate 100 square foot permanent easement and an approximate 636 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months (collectively “Subject Property Interests”) on the real property located at 4501 Slauson Avenue, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 6313-010-001 6313-010- 002, 6313-010-003, & 6313-010-030 (“Property”), which are described more particularly in Section 3 below; and

WHEREAS, the City is authorized to acquire the real property interests described in Section 3 below for public use, namely for the construction of public street, roadway, sidewalk, public utilities, drainage, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City to acquire property by eminent domain by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, California Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, and 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to El Pollo Loco Inc., a Delaware corporation, the record owner of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire.

The letter and notice informed the owner of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owner of the owner’s right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owner of the Subject Property Interests that the owner has an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owner of record are necessary for the Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a hearing on August 28, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers of the City of Maywood City Hall located at 4319 East Slauson Avenue, Maywood, California 90270. The City Council provided to each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain an opportunity to be heard on those matters specified in the City’s letter and notice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by at least a two-thirds vote of the City Council under Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.030, 1240.040, 1245.220, 1245.230 and 1245.240, that the City does hereby find and determine as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Findings and Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the above recitals of this Resolution are true and correct, are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference and constitute a material part of this Resolution.

Section 2. Adoption of a Resolution of Necessity. The City Council of the City of Maywood adopts Resolution No. 6377, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood, California, California, Declaring Certain Real Property Interests Necessary for Public Purposes and Authorizing the Acquisition Thereof in Connection with the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (Certain Real Property Interests on APNs 6313-010-001 6313-010-002, 6313-010-003, & 6313-010-

(Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law.

Section 3. Subject Property Interests. The City hereby authorizes the acquisition by eminent domain of the following Subject Property Interests on the Property, which is located at 4501 Slauson Avenue, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 6313-010-001 6313-010-002, 6313-010- 003, & 6313-010-030, for public use namely for the construction of public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project:

• An approximate 636 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of 12 months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference to facilitate the construction of the Project.

Section 4. Environmental Review.

A. The environmental effects of the Project and the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests needed for the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) prepared for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The City, as lead agency for the Project, prepared an Initial Study (“IS”) in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. Based on the findings of the IS, a MND, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) were prepared.

The MND and MMRP concluded that the Project, with proposed mitigation measures, would not have a significant effect on the environment.

B. The IS, MND, and MMRP (collectively, “Environmental Documents”) were released for a 30-day public comment period from February 21, 2024 until March 21, 2024 in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. The Environmental Documents

Page 26 of 207 ends

were also posted with the State Clearinghouse, Los Angeles County Clerk’s Office, and on the City’s website. The City received one comment letter on the Environmental Documents regarding the Project from the California Department of Transportation. The City prepared and provided a response to the comment letter. No additional CEQA correspondence was received during the public review period. The response to the comment is incorporated into the Final MND.

C. At its meeting on March 27, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 6342, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood California, Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act for the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvement Project. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council found that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals to Resolution No. 6342 are true and correct, and incorporated said Recitals into the Resolution.

D. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found, in its independent judgment after considering all the evidence in the record of proceedings for the Project, including without limitation the MND and testimony, if any, presented at the public meeting, that: (i) the MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (ii) the Project will not result in a significant effect on the environment because the mitigation measures described in the MMRP are incorporated as part of the Project; and (iii) there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that the Project would result in any significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level through implementation of those mitigation measures identified in the MND and included in the MMRP. Accordingly, the City Council found that the Project will not cause a significant unmitigated environmental effect. Further, in adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found that the MMRP was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA and that such program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during Project implementation.

E. On August 19, 2024, City Staff reviewed Resolution No. 6342 and the Environmental Documents in connection with the City’s review of the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests and determined that the Project and acquisition of the Subject Property Interest are consistent with the MND and MMRP.

Pursuant to the criteria of Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code, City Staff concluded that no substantial changes have occurred in the Project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under with the Project is undertaken and the City has not obtained any new information of substantial importance that would require further environmental analysis. These environmental findings are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project.

Section 5. The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project. The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity. The Project will alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, utility relocation and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve

Page 27 of 207 ends

congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

A. Alleviating congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is in the public interest and necessity and will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways, which provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including Interstate 710 (I-710) and Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours.

B. The level of service at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is deficient due to heavy demand of eastbound left-turning vehicles traveling to the I-710 onramp on Atlantic. This results in negative impacts to Slauson Avenue. As planned and designed, the City seeks to improve circulation at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection by adding a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements that upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. The improved circulation is also in the public interest and necessity because it will allow emergency vehicles to have better access. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve operations.

C. As part the Project, the City will also close the mid-block median opening along Slauson Avenue to provide a longer eastbound dual left turn storage pocket and eliminate the conflicting left turn movements to and from the Food4Less commercial center. As planned and designed, the Project will reduce the width of the existing median islands along the east and west legs of Slauson Avenue and the north leg of Atlantic Boulevard and remove the existing median along the south leg of the Atlantic Boulevard intersection to accommodate the dual left turn lanes. The existing landscaping/trees, utilities and City entry monument signs within these median islands would be removed or relocated. In addition, the City plans to construct new curb returns at all four quadrants of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection. Further, the City plans to restripe lanes and the crosswalks to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

D. The Project, as planned and designed, is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which aims to accommodate the level of traffic generated by current and future development within the City and by present and future through traffic created by regional traffic growth. (Circulation Element, pg. 2). Goal 2 of the Circulation Element is to provide a local street system that accommodates current and future traffic volumes. Policy 2.1 of Goal 2 aims to update current roadway standards to reflect existing conditions and conform to County standards. Policy 2.2 of Goal 2 aims to implement all circulation improvements pursuant to the Master Circulation Plan

Page 28 of 207 ends

(depicted in Figure C-2 of the Circulation Element). The Project will further the goals of the Circulation Element by improving the poor operating conditions at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and alleviating the significant burden that Maywood’s circulation system currently bears. The widening of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and upgrading of traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance traffic safety will enable the City to better support current and future traffic volumes.

E. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

F. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 6. The Project is Planned and Located in the Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury.

Page 29 of 207 ends

A. The Project is planned and located in the manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. The Project is planned and designed to construct necessary public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements to alleviate congestion, improve safety and traffic circulation consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The Project is intended to improve the operation of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection, relieve congestion during both a.m. and p.m. peak hours, and alleviate existing queuing conditions to accommodate projected traffic in the area. The location of the Project’s road widening is at the intersection of the City’s only major highways. As mentioned above, Atlantic Boulevard and Slauson Avenue provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the I-710 and the I-5. The location of the Project, as planned and designed, is most compatible with the greatest public good because the proposed road widening is located at the intersection of the primary facilities in the City for local and through traffic. The City’s major highways currently experience poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors.

B. The Project, as planned and located, is also planned and designed to minimize the impact on private parcels. The Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of permanent easements and temporary construction easements that are necessary to accommodate dual left turn lanes at the intersection in the eastbound Slauson Avenue and northbound Atlantic Boulevard direction, reconstruct the curb returns at all four corners of the intersection, and re-stripe the roadway and intersection to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations. Further, the Subject Property Interests are required to construct new ADA-compliant curb ramps and to relocate certain utilities. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or people.

C. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and

Page 30 of 207 ends

covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

D. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 7. The Subject Property Interests Described in the Resolution of Necessity are Necessary for the Project. The City cannot construct the Project, as planned and designed, without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.

Section 8. Offer Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record, El Pollo Loco Inc., a Delaware corporation. The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owner.

Section 9. Notice Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to the owner of record, El Pollo Loco Inc., a Delaware corporation, the record owner of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed the owner of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owner of the owner’s right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owner of the Subject Property Interests that the owner has an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise

Page 31 of 207 ends

questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owner of record are necessary for the Project.

The City also sent a courtesy copy of this letter and notice to counsel for the record owner.

Section 10. Findings. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing regarding the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project, including the Agenda Report, the documents referenced therein, and any oral or written testimony at the hearing, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:

A. The public interest and necessity require the Project; B. The Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury; C. The Subject Property Interests, consisting of the 100 square foot permanent easement described more particularly in EXHIBIT A-1 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-1 hereto and the approximate 636 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 hereto, are necessary for the Project; and D. The offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been made to the owner of record of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire Section 11. Existing Public Uses. To the extent that the Project will impact interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests.

Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

RESOLUTION NO. 6378

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING CERTAIN REAL

PROPERTY INTERESTS NECESSARY FOR PUBLIC

PURPOSES AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION

THEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH THE SLAUSON AVENUE

AND ATLANTIC BOULEVARD CONGESTION RELIEF

IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
INTERESTS ON APNS 6313-015-030, 6313-015-031, 6313-
015-032, & 6313-015-033)
WHEREAS, the City of Maywood, California (“City” or “Maywood”) seeks to construct the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (“Project”) to alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve congestion at the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard intersection (Slauson/Atlantic intersection). The City of Maywood’s circulation system bears a significant burden due to the City’s dense development and the its location to the nearby freeway system; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the Project will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways that provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the Interstate 710 (I-710) and the Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours; and WHEREAS, as part of the Project, the City will construct a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements to upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve signal operation; and WHEREAS, the Project requires the acquisition of an approximate 806 square foot permanent easement and an approximate 1,906 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months (collectively “Subject Property Interests”) on the real property located at 4457 and 4487 Slauson Avenue, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 6313-015- 033 & 6313-015-030 (“Property”), which are described more particularly in Section 3

Page 44 of 207 ends

below; and
WHEREAS, the City is authorized to acquire the real property interests described in Section 3 below for public use, namely for the construction of public street, roadway, sidewalk, public utilities, drainage, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City to acquire property by eminent domain by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, California Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, and 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to Maywood Village Center LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the record owner of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed the owner of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owner of the owner’s right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owner of the Subject Property Interests that the owner has an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owner of record are necessary for the Project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a hearing on August 28, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers of the City of Maywood City Hall located at 4319 East Slauson Avenue, Maywood, California 90270. The City Council provided to each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain an opportunity to be heard on those matters specified in the City’s letter and notice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by at least a two-thirds vote of the City Council under Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.030, 1240.040, 1245.220, 1245.230, and 1245.240, that the City does hereby find and determine as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Findings and Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the above recitals of this Resolution are true and correct, are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference and constitute a material part of this Resolution.

Section 2. Adoption of a Resolution of Necessity. The City Council of the City of Maywood adopts Resolution No. 6378, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood, California, California, Declaring Certain Real Property Interests Necessary for

Page 45 of 207 ends

Public Purposes and Authorizing the Acquisition Thereof in Connection with the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (Certain Real Property Interests on APNs 6313-015-033 & 6313-015-030) (“Resolution of Necessity”).

The City hereby adopts the Resolution of Necessity authorizing the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests, which consist of the approximate 806 square foot permanent easement and the approximate 1,906 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months described more particularly in Section 3. below in connection with the proposed construction of the Project pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City of Maywood to acquire property by eminent domain by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, California Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, and 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law.

Section 3. Subject Property Interests. The City hereby authorizes the acquisition by eminent domain of the following Subject Property Interests on the Property, which is located at 4457 and 4487 Slauson Avenue, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 6313-015-033 & 6313-015- 030, for public use namely for the construction of public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project:
• An approximate 806 square foot permanent easement described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-1 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference for public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto; and
• An approximate 1,906 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of 12 months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference to facilitate the construction of the Project.

Section 4. Environmental Review.

A. The environmental effects of the Project and the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests needed for the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) prepared for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The City, as lead agency for the Project, prepared an Initial Study (“IS”) in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. Based on the findings of the IS, a MND, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) were prepared.

The MND and MMRP concluded that the Project, with proposed mitigation measures, would not have a significant effect on the environment.

B. The IS, MND, and MMRP (collectively, “Environmental Documents”)

Page 46 of 207 ends

were released for a 30-day public comment period from February 21, 2024 until March 21, 2024 in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. The Environmental Documents were also posted with the State Clearinghouse, Los Angeles County Clerk’s Office, and on the City’s website. The City received one comment letter on the Environmental Documents regarding the Project from the California Department of Transportation. The City prepared and provided a response to the comment letter. No additional CEQA correspondence was received during the public review period. The response to the comment is incorporated into the Final MND.

C. At its meeting on March 27, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 6342, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood California, Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act for the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvement Project. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council found that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals to Resolution No. 6342 are true and correct, and incorporated said Recitals into the Resolution.

D. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found, in its independent judgment after considering all the evidence in the record of proceedings for the Project, including without limitation the MND and testimony, if any, presented at the public meeting, that: (i) the MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (ii) the Project will not result in a significant effect on the environment because the mitigation measures described in the MMRP are incorporated as part of the Project; and (iii) there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that the Project would result in any significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level through implementation of those mitigation measures identified in the MND and included in the MMRP. Accordingly, the City Council found that the Project will not cause a significant unmitigated environmental effect. Further, in adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found that the MMRP was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA and that such program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during Project implementation.

E. On August 19, 2024, City Staff reviewed Resolution No. 6342 and the Environmental Documents in connection with the City’s review of the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests and determined that the Project and acquisition of the Subject Property Interest are consistent with the MND and MMRP.

Pursuant to the criteria of Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code, City Staff concluded that no substantial changes have occurred in the Project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under with the Project is undertaken and the City has not obtained any new information of substantial importance that would require further environmental analysis. These environmental findings are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project.

Section 5. The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project. The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity. The Project will alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson

Page 47 of 207 ends

Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, utility relocation and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

A. Alleviating congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is in the public interest and necessity and will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways, which provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including Interstate 710 (I-710) and Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours.

B. The level of service at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is deficient due to heavy demand of eastbound left-turning vehicles traveling to the I-710 onramp on Atlantic. This results in negative impacts to Slauson Avenue. As planned and designed, the City seeks to improve circulation at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection by adding a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements that upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. The improved circulation is also in the public interest and necessity because it will allow emergency vehicles to have better access. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve operations.

C. As part the Project, the City will also close the mid-block median opening along Slauson Avenue to provide a longer eastbound dual left turn storage pocket and eliminate the conflicting left turn movements to and from the Food4Less commercial center. As planned and designed, the Project will reduce the width of the existing median islands along the east and west legs of Slauson Avenue and the north leg of Atlantic Boulevard and remove the existing median along the south leg of the Atlantic Boulevard intersection to accommodate the dual left turn lanes. The existing landscaping/trees, utilities and City entry monument signs within these median islands would be removed or relocated. In addition, the City plans to construct new curb returns at all four quadrants of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection. Further, the City plans to restripe lanes and the crosswalks to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

D. The Project, as planned and designed, is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which aims to accommodate the level of traffic generated by current and future development within the City and by present and future through traffic created by regional traffic growth. (Circulation Element, pg. 2). Goal 2 of the Circulation Element is to provide a local street system that accommodates current and future traffic volumes. Policy 2.1 of Goal 2 aims to update current roadway standards

Page 48 of 207 ends

to reflect existing conditions and conform to County standards. Policy 2.2 of Goal 2 aims to implement all circulation improvements pursuant to the Master Circulation Plan (depicted in Figure C-2 of the Circulation Element). The Project will further the goals of the Circulation Element by improving the poor operating conditions at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and alleviating the significant burden that Maywood’s circulation system currently bears. The widening of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and upgrading of traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance traffic safety will enable the City to better support current and future traffic volumes.

E. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

F. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 6. The Project is Planned and Located in the Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury.

A. The Project is planned and located in the manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. The Project is planned and designed to construct necessary public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements to alleviate congestion, improve safety and traffic circulation consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The Project is intended to improve the operation of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection, relieve congestion during both a.m. and p.m. peak hours, and alleviate existing queuing conditions to accommodate projected traffic in the area. The location of the Project’s road widening is at the intersection of the City’s only major highways. As mentioned above, Atlantic Boulevard and Slauson Avenue provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the I-710 and the I-5. The location of the Project, as planned and designed, is most compatible with the greatest public good because the proposed road widening is located at the intersection of the primary facilities in the City for local and through traffic. The City’s major highways currently experience poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors.

B. The Project, as planned and located, is also planned and designed to minimize the impact on private parcels. The Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of permanent easements and temporary construction easements that are necessary to accommodate dual left turn lanes at the intersection in the eastbound Slauson Avenue and northbound Atlantic Boulevard direction, reconstruct the curb returns at all four corners of the intersection, and re-stripe the roadway and intersection to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations. Further, the Subject Property Interests are required to construct new ADA-compliant curb ramps and to relocate certain utilities. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or people.

C. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Page 50 of 207 ends

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

D. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 7. The Subject Property Interests Described in the Resolution of Necessity are Necessary for the Project. The City cannot construct the Project, as planned and designed, without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.

Section 8. Offer Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record, Maywood Village Center LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owner.

Section 9. Notice Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to the owner of record, Maywood Village Center LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the record owner of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed the owner of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owner of the owner’s right to

Page 51 of 207 ends

appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owner of the Subject Property Interests that the owner has an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owner of record are necessary for the Project.

Section 10. Findings. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing regarding the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project, including the Agenda Report, the documents referenced therein, and any oral or written testimony at the hearing, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:

A. The public interest and necessity require the Project; B. The Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury; C. The Subject Property Interests, consisting of the 806 square foot permanent easement described more particularly in EXHIBIT A-1 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-1 hereto and the approximate 1,906 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 hereto, are necessary for the Project; and D. The offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been made to the owner of record of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire Section 11. Existing Public Uses. To the extent that the Project will impact interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests.

Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 12. Incorporation of Agenda Report and Documents Referenced Therein.

RESOLUTION NO. 6379

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING CERTAIN REAL

PROPERTY INTERESTS NECESSARY FOR PUBLIC

PURPOSES AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION

THEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH THE SLAUSON AVENUE

AND ATLANTIC BOULEVARD CONGESTION RELIEF

IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
INTERESTS ON APNS 6313-011-036 & 6313-011-028)
WHEREAS, the City of Maywood, California (“City” or “Maywood”) seeks to construct the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (“Project”) to alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve congestion at the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard intersection (Slauson/Atlantic intersection). The City of Maywood’s circulation system bears a significant burden due to the City’s dense development and its location to the nearby freeway system; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the Project will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways that provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the Interstate 710 (I-710) and the Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours; and WHEREAS, as part of the Project, the City will construct a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements to upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve signal operation; and WHEREAS, the Project requires the acquisition of an approximate 93 square foot permanent easement and an approximate 2,092 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months (collectively “Subject Property Interests”) on the real property located at 5900 and 5906 Atlantic Boulevard, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 6313-011- 036 & 6313-011-028 (“Property”), which are described more particularly in Section 3 below; and

Page 65 of 207 ends

WHEREAS, the City is authorized to acquire the real property interests described in Section 3 below for public use, namely for the construction of public street, roadway, sidewalk, public utilities, drainage, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City to acquire property by eminent domain by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, California Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, and 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to Tony Y. Kim, Joung-Sun Kim, Yong-Tai Kim and Soon Ai Kim, the record owners of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed the owners of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owners of the their right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owners of the Subject Property Interests that the owners have an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owners of record are necessary for the Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a hearing on August 28, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers of the City of Maywood City Hall located at 4319 East Slauson Avenue, Maywood, California 90270. The City Council provided to each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain an opportunity to be heard on those matters specified in the City’s letter and notice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by at least a two-thirds vote of the City Council under Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.030, 1240.040, 1245.220, 1245.230 and 1245.240, that the City does hereby find and determine as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Findings and Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the above recitals of this Resolution are true and correct, are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference and constitute a material part of this Resolution.

Section 2. Adoption of a Resolution of Necessity. The City Council of the City of Maywood adopts Resolution No. 6379, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood, California, California, Declaring Certain Real Property Interests Necessary for Public Purposes and Authorizing the Acquisition Thereof in Connection with the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (Certain Real Property Interests on APNs 6313-011-036 & 6313-011-028) (“Resolution of Necessity”).

Page 66 of 207 ends

The City hereby adopts the Resolution of Necessity authorizing the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests, which consist of the approximate 93 square foot permanent easement and the approximate 2,092 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months described more particularly in Section 3. below in connection with the proposed construction of the Project pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City of Maywood to acquire property by eminent domain by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, California Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, and 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law.

Section 3. Subject Property Interests. The City hereby authorizes the acquisition by eminent domain of the following Subject Property Interests on the Property, which is located at 5900 and 5906 Atlantic Boulevard, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 6313-011-036 & 6313-011- 028, for public use namely for the construction of public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project:
• An approximate 93 square foot permanent easement described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-1 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference for public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto; and
• An approximate 2,092 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of 12 months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference to facilitate the construction of the Project.

Section 4. Environmental Review.

A. The environmental effects of the Project and the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests needed for the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) prepared for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The City, as lead agency for the Project, prepared an Initial Study (“IS”) in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. Based on the findings of the IS, a MND, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) were prepared.

The MND and MMRP concluded that the Project, with proposed mitigation measures, would not have a significant effect on the environment.

B. The IS, MND, and MMRP (collectively, “Environmental Documents”) were released for a 30-day public comment period from February 21, 2024 until March 21, 2024 in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. The Environmental Documents were also posted with the State Clearinghouse, Los Angeles County Clerk’s Office, and

Page 67 of 207 ends

on the City’s website. The City received one comment letter on the Environmental Documents regarding the Project from the California Department of Transportation. The City prepared and provided a response to the comment letter. No additional CEQA correspondence was received during the public review period. The response to the comment is incorporated into the Final MND.

C. At its meeting on March 27, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 6342, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood California, Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act for the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvement Project. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council found that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals to Resolution No. 6342 are true and correct, and incorporated said Recitals into the Resolution.

D. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found, in its independent judgment after considering all the evidence in the record of proceedings for the Project, including without limitation the MND and testimony, if any, presented at the public meeting, that: (i) the MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (ii) the Project will not result in a significant effect on the environment because the mitigation measures described in the MMRP are incorporated as part of the Project; and (iii) there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that the Project would result in any significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level through implementation of those mitigation measures identified in the MND and included in the MMRP. Accordingly, the City Council found that the Project will not cause a significant unmitigated environmental effect. Further, in adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found that the MMRP was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA and that such program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during Project implementation.

E. On August 19, 2024, City Staff reviewed Resolution No. 6342 and the Environmental Documents in connection with the City’s review of the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests and determined that the Project and acquisition of the Subject Property Interest are consistent with the MND and MMRP.

Pursuant to the criteria of Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code, City Staff concluded that no substantial changes have occurred in the Project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under with the Project is undertaken and the City has not obtained any new information of substantial importance that would require further environmental analysis. These environmental findings are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project.

Section 5. The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project. The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity. The Project will alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, utility relocation and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve

Page 68 of 207 ends

congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

A. Alleviating congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is in the public interest and necessity and will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways, which provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including Interstate 710 (I-710) and Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours.

B. The level of service at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is deficient due to heavy demand of eastbound left-turning vehicles traveling to the I-710 onramp on Atlantic. This results in negative impacts to Slauson Avenue. As planned and designed, the City seeks to improve circulation at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection by adding a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements that upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. The improved circulation is also in the public interest and necessity because it will allow emergency vehicles to have better access. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve operations.

C. As part the Project, the City will also close the mid-block median opening along Slauson Avenue to provide a longer eastbound dual left turn storage pocket and eliminate the conflicting left turn movements to and from the Food4Less commercial center. As planned and designed, the Project will reduce the width of the existing median islands along the east and west legs of Slauson Avenue and the north leg of Atlantic Boulevard and remove the existing median along the south leg of the Atlantic Boulevard intersection to accommodate the dual left turn lanes. The existing landscaping/trees, utilities and City entry monument signs within these median islands would be removed or relocated. In addition, the City plans to construct new curb returns at all four quadrants of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection. Further, the City plans to restripe lanes and the crosswalks to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

D. The Project, as planned and designed, is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which aims to accommodate the level of traffic generated by current and future development within the City and by present and future through traffic created by regional traffic growth. (Circulation Element, pg. 2). Goal 2 of the Circulation Element is to provide a local street system that accommodates current and future traffic volumes. Policy 2.1 of Goal 2 aims to update current roadway standards to reflect existing conditions and conform to County standards. Policy 2.2 of Goal 2 aims

Page 69 of 207 ends

to implement all circulation improvements pursuant to the Master Circulation Plan (depicted in Figure C-2 of the Circulation Element). The Project will further the goals of the Circulation Element by improving the poor operating conditions at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and alleviating the significant burden that Maywood’s circulation system currently bears. The widening of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and upgrading of traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance traffic safety will enable the City to better support current and future traffic volumes.

E. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

F. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 6. The Project is Planned and Located in the Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury.

A. The Project is planned and located in the manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. The Project is planned and designed to construct necessary public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements to alleviate congestion, improve safety and traffic circulation consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The Project is intended to improve the operation of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection, relieve congestion during both a.m. and p.m. peak hours, and alleviate existing queuing conditions to accommodate projected traffic in the area. The location of the Project’s road widening is at the intersection of the City’s only major highways. As mentioned above, Atlantic Boulevard and Slauson Avenue provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the I-710 and the I-5. The location of the Project, as planned and designed, is most compatible with the greatest public good because the proposed road widening is located at the intersection of the primary facilities in the City for local and through traffic. The City’s major highways currently experience poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors.

B. The Project, as planned and located, is also planned and designed to minimize the impact on private parcels. The Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of permanent easements and temporary construction easements that are necessary to accommodate dual left turn lanes at the intersection in the eastbound Slauson Avenue and northbound Atlantic Boulevard direction, reconstruct the curb returns at all four corners of the intersection, and re-stripe the roadway and intersection to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations. Further, the Subject Property Interests are required to construct new ADA-compliant curb ramps and to relocate certain utilities. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or people.

C. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Page 71 of 207 ends

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

D. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 7. The Subject Property Interests Described in the Resolution of Necessity are Necessary for the Project. The City cannot construct the Project, as planned and designed, without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.

Section 8. Offer Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owners of record, Tony Y. Kim, Joung-Sun Kim, Yong-Tai Kim and Soon Ai Kim.

The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owners.

Section 9. Notice Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to the owners of record, Tony Y. Kim, Joung-Sun Kim, Yong-Tai Kim and Soon Ai Kim, the record owners of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed the owners of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the

Page 72 of 207 ends

Project. The notice advised the record owners of the their right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owners of the Subject Property Interests that the owners have an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owners of record are necessary for the Project.

Section 10. Findings. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing regarding the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project, including the Agenda Report, the documents referenced therein, and any oral or written testimony at the hearing, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:

A. The public interest and necessity require the Project; B. The Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury; C. The Subject Property Interests, consisting of the 93 square foot permanent easement described more particularly in EXHIBIT A-1 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-1 hereto and the approximate 2,092 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 hereto, are necessary for the Project; and D. The offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been made to the owners of record of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire Section 11. Existing Public Uses. To the extent that the Project will impact interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests.

Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 12. Incorporation of Agenda Report and Documents Referenced Therein.

1 RESOLUTION NO. 6380

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING CERTAIN REAL

PROPERTY INTERESTS NECESSARY FOR PUBLIC

PURPOSES AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION

THEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH THE SLAUSON AVENUE

AND ATLANTIC BOULEVARD CONGESTION RELIEF

IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
INTERESTS ON APN 6313-013-030)
WHEREAS, the City of Maywood, California (“City” or “Maywood”) seeks to construct the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (“Project”) to alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve congestion at the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard intersection (Slauson/Atlantic intersection). The City of Maywood’s circulation system bears a significant burden due to the City’s dense development and its location to the nearby freeway system; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the Project will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways that provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the Interstate 710 (I-710) and the Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours; and WHEREAS, as part of the Project, the City will construct a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements to upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve signal operation; and WHEREAS, the Project requires the acquisition of an approximate 99 square foot permanent easement and an approximate 177 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months (collectively “Subject Property Interests”) on the real property located at 5901 Atlantic Boulevard, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Number 6313-013-030 (“Property”), which are described more particularly in Section 3 below; and WHEREAS, the City is authorized to acquire the real property interests described

Page 87 of 207 ends

2 in Section 3 below for public use, namely for the construction of public street, roadway, sidewalk, public utilities, drainage, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City to acquire property by eminent domain by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, California Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, and 40404 and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to J&MGC, LLC, a California limited liability company, the record owner of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed the owner of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owner of the owner’s right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing.

The notice specifically informed the record owner of the Subject Property Interests that the owner has an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owner of record are necessary for the Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a hearing on August 28, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers of the City of Maywood City Hall located at 4319 East Slauson Avenue, Maywood, California 90270. The City Council provided to each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain an opportunity to be heard on those matters specified in the City’s letter and notice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by at least a two-thirds vote of the City Council under Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.030, 1240.040, 1245.220, 1245.230, and 1245.240, that the City does hereby find and determine as follows:

• An approximate 99 square foot permanent easement described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-1 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference for public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto; and
• An approximate 177 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of 12 months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference to facilitate the construction of the Project.

Section 4. Environmental Review.

A. The environmental effects of the Project and the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests needed for the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) prepared for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The City, as lead agency for the Project, prepared an Initial Study (“IS”) in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. Based on the findings of the IS, a MND, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) were prepared.

The MND and MMRP concluded that the Project, with proposed mitigation measures, would not have a significant effect on the environment.

B. The IS, MND, and MMRP (collectively “Environmental Documents”) were released for a 30-day public comment period from February 21, 2024 until March 21, 2024 in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. The Environmental Documents were also posted with the State Clearinghouse, Los Angeles County Clerk’s Office, and on the City’s website. The City received one comment letter on the Environmental Documents regarding the Project from the California Department of Transportation. The

Page 89 of 207 ends

4 City prepared and provided a response to the comment letter. No additional CEQA correspondence was received during the public review period. The response to the comment is incorporated into the Final MND.

C. At its meeting on March 27, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 6342, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maywood California, Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act for the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvement Project. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council found that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals to Resolution No. 6342 are true and correct, and incorporated said Recitals into the Resolution.

D. In adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found, in its independent judgment after considering all the evidence in the record of proceedings for the Project, including without limitation the MND and testimony, if any, presented at the public meeting, that: (i) the MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (ii) the Project will not result in a significant effect on the environment because the mitigation measures described in the MMRP are incorporated as part of the Project; and (iii) there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that the Project would result in any significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level through implementation of those mitigation measures identified in the MND and included in the MMRP. Accordingly, the City Council found that the Project will not cause a significant unmitigated environmental effect. Further, in adopting Resolution No. 6342, the City Council also found that the MMRP was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA and that such program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during Project implementation.

E. On August 19, 2024, City Staff reviewed Resolution No. 6342 and the Environmental Documents in connection with the City’s review of the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests and determined that the Project and acquisition of the Subject Property Interest are consistent with the MND and MMRP.

Pursuant to the criteria of Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code, City Staff concluded that no substantial changes have occurred in the Project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under with the Project is undertaken and the City has not obtained any new information of substantial importance that would require further environmental analysis. These environmental findings are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project.

Section 5. The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project. The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity. The Project will alleviate congestion, increase capacity, improve traffic circulation and safety within the Slauson Avenue Corridor in the City of Maywood. The proposed roadway improvements, utility relocation and related improvements in connection with the Project are required to relieve congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

A. Alleviating congestion at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is in the

Page 90 of 207 ends

5 public interest and necessity and will benefit the City and the public because Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard operate as the City’s only major highways, which provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including Interstate 710 (I-710) and Interstate 5 (I-5). The Slauson/Atlantic intersection is a primary intersection for local and through traffic. It currently experiences poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors. In addition, due to limited freeway access for Maywood and adjacent cities, the interchange of I-710 at Atlantic Boulevard is severely congested during the morning and evening peak hours.

B. The level of service at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection is deficient due to heavy demand of eastbound left-turning vehicles traveling to the I-710 onramp on Atlantic. This results in negative impacts to Slauson Avenue. As planned and designed, the City seeks to improve circulation at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection by adding a second left turn lane on eastbound Slauson Avenue, a second left turn lane on northbound Atlantic Boulevard, and other improvements that upgrade traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance pedestrian and traffic safety. The improved circulation is also in the public interest and necessity because it will allow emergency vehicles to have better access. Further, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will also upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve operations.

C. As part the Project, the City will also close the mid-block median opening along Slauson Avenue to provide a longer eastbound dual left turn storage pocket and eliminate the conflicting left turn movements to and from the Food4Less commercial center. As planned and designed, the Project will reduce the width of the existing median islands along the east and west legs of Slauson Avenue and the north leg of Atlantic Boulevard and remove the existing median along the south leg of the Atlantic Boulevard intersection to accommodate the dual left turn lanes. The existing landscaping/trees, utilities and City entry monument signs within these median islands would be removed or relocated. In addition, the City plans to construct new curb returns at all four quadrants of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection. Further, the City plans to restripe lanes and the crosswalks to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection.

D. The Project, as planned and designed, is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which aims to accommodate the level of traffic generated by current and future development within the City and by present and future through traffic created by regional traffic growth. (Circulation Element, pg. 2). Goal 2 of the Circulation Element is to provide a local street system that accommodates current and future traffic volumes. Policy 2.1 of Goal 2 aims to update current roadway standards to reflect existing conditions and conform to County standards. Policy 2.2 of Goal 2 aims to implement all circulation improvements pursuant to the Master Circulation Plan (depicted in Figure C-2 of the Circulation Element). The Project will further the goals of the Circulation Element by improving the poor operating conditions at the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and alleviating the significant burden that Maywood’s circulation system

Page 91 of 207 ends

6 currently bears. The widening of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection and upgrading of traffic signals along Slauson Avenue to enhance traffic safety will enable the City to better support current and future traffic volumes.

E. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

F. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 6. The Project is Planned and Located in the Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury.

A. The Project is planned and located in the manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. The Project is

Page 92 of 207 ends

7 planned and designed to construct necessary public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements to alleviate congestion, improve safety and traffic circulation consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan. The Project is intended to improve the operation of the Slauson/Atlantic intersection, relieve congestion during both a.m. and p.m. peak hours, and alleviate existing queuing conditions to accommodate projected traffic in the area. The location of the Project’s road widening is at the intersection of the City’s only major highways. As mentioned above, Atlantic Boulevard and Slauson Avenue provide access to all parts of the City and link Maywood to the nearby freeway system, including the I-710 and the I-5. The location of the Project, as planned and designed, is most compatible with the greatest public good because the proposed road widening is located at the intersection of the primary facilities in the City for local and through traffic. The City’s major highways currently experience poor operating conditions due to heavy southbound through traffic on Atlantic Boulevard, heavy volumes on both approaches of Slauson Avenue, and heavy truck conditions on these two corridors.

B. The Project, as planned and located, is also planned and designed to minimize the impact on private parcels. The Subject Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of permanent easements and temporary construction easements that are necessary to accommodate dual left turn lanes at the intersection in the eastbound Slauson Avenue and northbound Atlantic Boulevard direction, reconstruct the curb returns at all four corners of the intersection, and re-stripe the roadway and intersection to accommodate the new intersection geometries and lane configurations. Further, the Subject Property Interests are required to construct new ADA-compliant curb ramps and to relocate certain utilities. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or people.

C. The Project, as planned and designed, will require the relocation of certain utilities to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements of the Project. Some existing Southern California Edison-owned conduits and handholes may require relocation, adjustment, and/or removal. The Project may impact domestic water pipes in the Project area owned by Tri-City Mutual Water and Maywood Mutual Water Company’s Number 1 and Number 2 It may require the removal of three existing water services, meters, and backflow preventers serving the existing median landscaping; removal of existing and installation of one new water service and meter; removal and reconstruction of twelve existing water valve boxes and covers; removal of one existing water valve box and cover; and removal of existing and installation of two new fire hydrants. The sewer pipes in the Project area are owned by the City of Maywood and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Six existing sewer manhole frames and covers may require adjustment to grade. The telecommunications utilities in the Project are owned by AT&T Distribution, Charter (Spectrum), Crown Castle, and MCI (Verizon).

Some of these conduits may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. The gas utilities in the Project area are owned by Southern California Gas Company (Distribution). Eight existing gas valve boxes and covers may require adjustment to grade and some of the gas lines may need to be relocated to accommodate the road widening and traffic signal improvements. Additional utility adjustments, relocations, and/or removals may be required at each curb return

Page 93 of 207 ends

8 where traffic signal improvements are proposed.

D. To the extent that the Project will impact the interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

Section 7. The Subject Property Interests Described in the Resolution of Necessity are Necessary for the Project. The City cannot construct the Project, as planned and designed, without the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.

Section 8. Offer Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record, J&MGC, LLC, a California limited liability company. The offer letter contained an appraisal summary statement that described the zoning, highest and best use of the larger parcel, explained the appraiser’s valuation methodology, and included the comparable sales data relied on by the appraiser. The offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025. Further, the offer letter included an eminent domain pamphlet explaining the eminent domain process and the rights of the record owner.

Section 9. Notice Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.

Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first-class mail dated August 7, 2024 to the owner of record, J&MGC, LLC, a California limited liability company, the record owner of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed the owner of the City’s intent to consider at its August 28, 2024 meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised the record owner of the owner’s right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing, within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request with the City to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owner of the Subject Property Interests that the owner has an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property

Page 94 of 207 ends

9 Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owner of record are necessary for the Project.

Section 10. Findings. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing regarding the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for the Project, including the Agenda Report, the documents referenced therein, and any oral or written testimony at the hearing, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:

A. The public interest and necessity require the Project; B. The Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury; C. The Subject Property Interests, consisting of the 99 square foot permanent easement described more particularly in EXHIBIT A-1 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-1 hereto and the approximate 177 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months described more particularly on EXHIBIT A-2 and depicted on EXHIBIT B-2 hereto, are necessary for the Project; and D. The offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been made to the owner of record of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire Section 11. Existing Public Uses. To the extent that the Project will impact interests of easement holders in the area of the Subject Property Interests, the public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street, public utilities, drainage improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project is a joint and compatible use and will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that the Project will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by the Project, the City’s use of the Subject Property Interests for the Project is for a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests.

Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

DATE: August 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR

RAUL HERRERA, SENIOR ACCOUNTANT
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT JULY 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report for the month of July 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:

General Fund revenues are not received evenly throughout the fiscal year. During the first half of the fiscal year there is always an issue of timing difference whereby cash receipts do not align with the projected budget forecast, but during the second half of the year the cash receipts begin to align with the projected budget. See attachment 1 and 2 for revenue details comparison between July 2023 and July 2024 and explanations in the "Comments" column.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

DATE: August 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR

RAUL HERRERA, SENIOR ACCOUNTANT
SUBJECT: MONTHLY CASH AND INVESTMENT REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL JULY 2024 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the attached cash and investment report for July 2024.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with the City of Maywood’s Adopted Investment Policy (Resolution No. 6360 dated 6/26/2024) 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 report will show the City’s cash position at the month's end as well as investments.

DISCUSSION:

The cash and investment balances are across all funds of the City and include restricted, unrestricted, and budgeted amounts. These balances do not represent the available balance for spending as most are either restricted or have already been appropriated for in the City budget. 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 July 31, 2024.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact involved with approving this report.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

DATE: August 28, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: LUZ MARIA, ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST

RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6375 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 and ACH registers and payroll wire transfers dated 07/15/2024 through 08/15/2024, and adopt Resolution No. 6375 approving Warrants for Payment.

BACKGROUND:

Staff provides warrant registers and wire transfers to City Council as part of Management Controls. The City utilizes resolutions for approving warrants for payment to comply with Section 3-2.06 of the Municipal Code regarding Warrants for Payments. 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:

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

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

A1.1 Prepayments – pre-paying allows the City to take advantage of allowable prompt payment discounts and make payments on due dates of invoices. This involves the issuance of checks prior to final warrant approval.

Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions are made using a network that electronically moves money

Page 115 of 207 ends

between the City’s bank accounts to a payee’s bank account. This is reflected in the Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions as Accounts Payable prepaid warrants for payment. Wire Transfer is a method of electronic funds transfer from the City of Maywood to one person or organization (payrolls and fees for electronic transfers).

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

B - DOCUMENTATION – The City uses a Management Control by producing a summary document (Exhibit ASummary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH transactions) that represents the cash disbursements required and the City uses an Internal Control by producing a detailed document (Exhibit B – Detail Warrants for Payment) that details information about each check issued for Prepaids and or to-be-paid for Regular Payments. These “disbursements” are accounted for in the FY2023-24 budget.

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

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

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total disbursements for Warrant Registers are $1,897,156.81 for the period of 7/15/24 to 08/15/24. This amount consists of Warrant Registers of $1,172,022.48, ACH registers of $523,324.69, and Payroll Wire Transfers of $201,809.64

The grant budget includes funds to distribute 400 internet-enabled laptop computers and internet-enabled mobile hotpots with 12 months of free subsidized internet.

The resolution accompanying the letter of commitment emphasizes that the City Council recognizes the IBCC as the County, who will streamline and centralize the Countywide Competitive Grant Program administration and management process. The County staff will serve as the primary Competitive Grant Program administrator and manager for all Subrecipient Applicants.
