BACKGROUND:

Background
The City Council has before it a proposed Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the MCP Property Interests described above and in the attached Resolution of Necessity in connection with the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard Congestion Relief Improvements Project (“Project”). The City seeks to acquire the MCP 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 Project requires the City to acquire certain real property interests (generally referred to as the subject property interests) from a total of four properties located at the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard. The City negotiated, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement between J&MGC, LLC and the City, the City’s purchase of the necessary subject property interests on the J&MGC Property described below. On September 24, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6377 (detailed below under “Pollo Loco Property Interests”) and Resolution No. 6378 (detailed below under “Maywood Village Property Interests”), finding that the public interest and necessity require the Project; 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 subject property interests described in the respective Resolution of Necessity are necessary for the Project; and 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; and authorized the City Attorney’s Office to prosecute eminent domain proceedings for the condemnation of said subject property interests. This Agenda Report relates to the recommended adoption of the proposed Resolution of Necessity for the MCP Property Interests Description of Pollo Loco Property Interests, Maywood Village Property Interests and J&MGC Property Interests
and MCP Property Interests
Pollo Loco Property Interests
The subject property interests for Resolution No. 6377 consist of an approximate 100 square foot permanent easement and an approximate 636 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months on the real property located at 4501 Slauson Avenue, in the City of Maywood, California, also identified as APNs 6313-010-001, 6313-010-002, 6313-010-003, & 6313-010-030 (collectively, “Pollo Loco Property Interests”).

Page 152 of 1106 ends

months on the real property located at 4457 and 4487 Slauson Avenue, in the City of Maywood, California, also identified as APNs 6313-015-030, 6313-015-031, 6313-015-032, & 6313-015-033 (collectively, “Maywood Village Property Interests”). Maywood Village Center LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Maywood Village”) is the fee owner of the Maywood Village Property Interests. On behalf of the City, the City Attorney's office filed an eminent domain proceeding on October 14, 2024 for the City to acquire the Maywood Village Property Interests.

The eminent domain proceeding, identified as Case No. 24NWCV03641, is currently underway. Pursuant to an Order for Possession entered by the Court and served on April 16, 2025, the City gained possession of the Maywood Village Property Interests on May 16, 2025.

J&MGC Property Interests
The City acquired, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, an approximate 99 square foot area in fee and an approximate 177 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months from the real property located at 5901 Atlantic Avenue, in the City of Maywood, California, and identified as APN 6313-013-030 (collectively, “J&MGC Property Interests”). J&MGC, LLC, a California limited liability company, is the fee owner of the remainder property located on APN 6313-013-030.

MCP Property Interests
As explained below, the City desires to acquire certain property interests from the real property located at 5900 and 5906 Atlantic Boulevard in the City of Maywood and identified as APNs 6313-011-036 and 6313-011-028.

Specifically, the City seeks to acquire the following: (a) an approximate 93 square foot permanent easement for public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, related improvements, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto; and (b) an approximate 2,092 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months to facilitate the construction of the Project ("MCP Property Interests"). Maywood Center Properties LLC, a California limited liability company is the fee owner of the MCP Property Interests.

Description of 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 Boulevard. 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. The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works will upgrade all signalized intersections along Slauson Avenue to synchronize the traffic signals and include protected left turn phases to improve operations.

As part of the Project, the City will 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 will prepare and implement a Traffic Control Plan 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.

Page 153 of 1106 ends

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 Highways during 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.

Authorization for Acquisition by Eminent Domain of the MCP Property Interests and Findings Required for Adoption of Resolution of Necessity
The City seeks to acquire the MCP 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 the proposed Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the MCP Property Interests, the City Council must find and determine the Resolution of Necessity meets the following requirements:

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 the Resolution of Necessity are necessary for the 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.

Page 154 of 1106 ends

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 proceeding that would be filed if the City Council, in its sole discretion, adopts the proposed Resolution 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 Improvements 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 June 16, 2025, City Staff reviewed Resolution No. 6342 and the Environmental Documents in connection with the City’s review of the proposed acquisition of the MCP Property Interests and determined that the Project and acquisition of the MCP 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 MCP 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 a fair market value appraisal of the MCP Property Interests and the larger parcel of which they are a part. The City set just compensation for the MCP Property Interests in accordance with the fair market value. The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024, pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the former owners of the Property, Soon-Ai Kim, Tony Y.

Page 155 of 1106 ends

Kim and Joung-Sun Kim (“Former Owners”), to purchase the MCP Property Interests. A copy of said offer letter was later provided to Maywood Center Properties. 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, and the form of 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 MCP Property Interests.

Epic Land Solutions, Inc. (“Epic”), the City’s acquisition consultant, contacted the Former Owners and was informed by the Former Owners that they would obtain their own independent appraisal. The Former Owners also informed Epic that they would make vesting changes to their deed because one of the vested owners passed away. The Former Owners informed Epic that they were working on removing the deceased relative from the deed. On June 18, 2024, the Former Owners informed Epic that they expected their independent appraisal to be complete in several weeks. The City and the Former Owners entered into a Possession and Use Agreement with an effective date of October 4, 2024 (“MCP Possession and Use Agreement”). Consents to the MCP Possession and Use Agreement were executed by tenants of the parcel. The City did not consider the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity at the September 24, 2024, meeting because it received the Former Owners’ signatures to the Possession and Use Agreement prior to the City Council meeting and was informed by the Former Owners that they wished to continue negotiations with the City. Accordingly, the scheduled September 24, 2024, hearing for the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity for the MCP Property Interests was taken off the calendar.

Summary of Negotiations
The City and Former Owners negotiated in good faith for the City’s acquisition and use of the MCP Property Interests in connection with the Project and reached an agreement regarding the City’s purchase of the said real property interests, subject to ratification by the City Council. Before said Purchase and Sale Agreement was executed, the Former Owners sold the Property to Maywood Center Properties. Maywood Center Properties confirmed to Epic that the Former Owners informed Maywood Center Properties about the Project, the MCP Possession and Use Agreement, and the status of the draft Purchase and Sale Agreement negotiated between the City and the Former Owners. Maywood Center Properties requested that the City update the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents to reflect the change in ownership. After the updated documents were provided, Counsel for Maywood Center Properties informed the City’s counsel that Maywood Center Properties was not interested in finalizing the Purchase and Sale Agreement and requested that the City’s counsel proceed with the process to adopt a Resolution of Necessity and initiate an eminent domain proceeding for acquisition of the MCP Property Interests.

City’s Actions 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 June 6, 2025, to the owner of record, Maywood Center Properties, of the MCP Property Interests the City seeks to acquire. The letter and notice informed Maywood Center Properties of the City’s intent to consider at its June 25, 2025, meeting, the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the MCP Property Interests in connection with the Project. The notice advised Maywood Center Properties of its right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing a written request with the City to appear at the hearing within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed. The notice specifically informed Maywood Center Properties 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 MCP Property Interests the City seeks to acquire are necessary for the Project.

DISCUSSION:

REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY

Page 156 of 1106 ends

A. 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 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 I-710 and I5. 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 Boulevard. 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 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

Page 157 of 1106 ends

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 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.

B. 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 required for the Project 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 ADAcompliant curb ramps and to relocate certain utilities. The Project will not require the relocation of any businesses or people.

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

Page 158 of 1106 ends

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 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.

C. The MCP 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 MCP Property Interests. As discussed above, the MCP Property Interests consist of minor acquisitions of a permanent easement and temporary construction easement that are necessary for the construction of the public street, sidewalk, public utility, drainage, and related improvements in connection with the Project. The permanent easement from the Maywood Center Properties Parcel is required to construct the improvements proposed at the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard. The temporary construction easement on the Maywood Center Properties Parcel is needed for a term of twelve months to facilitate the construction of the Project. The Project cannot be constructed without the acquisition of the MCP Property Interests.

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 MCP Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.

D. The City has made an Offer as Required by Government Code Section 7267.2 to the Owner of

Page 159 of 1106 ends

Record of the MCP Property Interests
The City’s actions under Government Code Section 7260 et seq. in connection with the acquisition of the MCP Property Interests are detailed above and briefly below.

Government Code Section 7267.2 Offer — MCP Property Interests The City extended a written offer dated May 6, 2024 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the Former 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 Former Owners of the MCP Property Interests the City seeks to acquire to purchase the MCP Property Interests.

As detailed above, a copy of said offer letter was later provided to Maywood Center Properties. 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.

The Former Owners informed Epic that they would obtain their own independent appraisal. The Former Owners also informed Epic that they would make vesting changes to their deed because one of the vested owners passed away. Specifically, the Former Owners stated that it was necessary to remove the deceased relative from the deed.

On June 18, 2024, the Former Owners informed Epic that they expected their independent appraisal to be complete in several weeks. The City and the Former Owners later entered into a Possession and Use Agreement with an effective date of October 4, 2024 (“MCP Possession and Use Agreement”). Consents to the MCP Possession and Use Agreement were executed by tenants of the subject parcel. The Former Owners also confirmed that they were in escrow to sell the subject parcel to Maywood Center Properties. Maywood Center Properties confirmed that the Former Owners informed Maywood Center Properties about the Project, the MCP Possession and Use Agreement, and the status of the draft Purchase and Sale Agreement negotiated between the City and the Former Owners.

Maywood Center Properties requested that the City update the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents to reflect the change in ownership. After the documents were updated, Counsel for Maywood Center Properties informed the City’s counsel that Maywood Center Properties was not interested in finalizing the Purchase and Sale Agreement and requested that the City’s counsel proceed with the process to adopt a Resolution of Necessity and initiate an eminent domain proceeding for acquisition of the MCP Property Interests.

• 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

Page 164 of 1106 ends

4 3123400v2
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 June 16, 2025, 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

Page 165 of 1106 ends

5 3123400v2
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 the I-710 and 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 166 of 1106 ends

6 3123400v2
(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).

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 former owners of record, Tony Y. Kim, Joung-Sun Kim, Yong-Tai Kim and Soon Ai Kim (“Former Owners”). 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. The City and Former Owners entered into a Possession and Use Agreement on October 4, 2024. The tenants of the parcel signed consents in connection with the Possession and Use Agreement. Subsequently, the Former Owners sold the Property to Maywood Center Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Maywood Center Properties”). Maywood Center Properties received a copy of the written offer dated May 6, 2024, and confirmed that the Former Owners informed Maywood Center Properties about the Possession and Use Agreement. The City negotiated in good faith with Maywood Center Properties to acquire the Subject Property Interests and updated, at the request of Maywood Center Properties, the Purchase and Sale Agreement it had negotiated with the Former Owners. Counsel for Maywood Center Properties informed the City Attorney’s Office that Maywood Center Properties was not interested in pursuing a negotiated agreement at this time, and requested that the City proceed with the process to adopt a Resolution of Necessity and initiate an eminent domain proceeding for the City’s acquisition of the Subject Property

Interests.

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 June 5, 2025, to the owner of record, Maywood Center Properties LLC, 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 June 25, 2025, 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 its right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing a written request with the City to appear at the hearing within fifteen (15) days of the date the notice was mailed. 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. The City provided a courtesy copy of the 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 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 provided 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

Page 170 of 1106 ends

10 3123400v2
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.

The findings and declarations contained in this Resolution are based upon the record before the City Council, including the Agenda Report, and all documents referenced therein, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference and testimony and/or comments submitted to the City by the record owner or the owner’s representative(s).

These documents include, but are not limited to the City of Maywood General Plan, Circulation Element, offer letter sent to the owner pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2, notice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, and Environmental Documents relating to the Project.

Section 13. Authorization to File Eminent Domain Proceeding. The City Attorney’s Office is authorized to take all steps necessary to commence and prosecute legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to acquire the Subject Property Interests, consisting of the approximate 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.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.

DATE: June 25, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT MAY 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report for the months of July 2024–May 2025.

BACKGROUND:

In an effort to maintain transparency, the City's Finance Department prepares a monthly Revenue Report for the City's 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 gradually begin to align with the projected budget. See attachment 1 and 2 for revenue details comparison between July 2023-May 2024 and July 2024-May 2025 and explanations in the "Comments" column.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.

DATE: June 25, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6419 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 ACH registers and payroll wire transfers dated 5/14/2025 through 6/16/2025 and adopt Resolution N/o. 6419 approving the 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 all disbursement documents to ensure that they meet the approval requirements and adequate support documentation.

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's adopted City Budget.

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

Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions are made using a network that electronically moves money between the City's bank accounts to a payee's bank account. This is reflected in the Summary Warrants for

Page 206 of 1106 ends

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 BDetail Warrants for Payment) that details information about each check issued for Prepaid and or to-be-paid for Regular Payments. These "disbursements" are accounted for in the FY 2024-25 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.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

DATE: June 25, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: KAREN INIGUEZ, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CALIFORNIA CONSULTING INC. FOR GRANT WRITING AND REPORTING SERVICES FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM AT AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $146,700 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a professional services agreement with California Consulting Service, Inc. for Grant Writing and Reporting Services for a three-year term, in an amount not to exceed $146,700.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Maywood has contracted grant writing and reporting services from California Consulting, Inc. since 2016.

During the contract period, California Consulting, Inc. provided grant writing services and grant reporting assistance.

The City has been awarded funding from several governmental grant sources. During this time period, the city, with the assistance of California Consulting, Inc. has secured approximately $8.44 million in grant funding.

The California Consulting, Inc. contract for services is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

Staff work directly with a specific grant writer assigned to the City, David Marquez, who has been very accessible and knowledgeable about the City and the surrounding area. Mr. Marquez and his team at California Consulting assist city staff and its consultants to complete grant applications, navigate the award process and reporting.

The first allocated increase for grant-writing services was in 2022, from $3,250 to $3,500. The second allocated increase was in 2024, from $3,500 to $3,725. This year, California Consulting Inc. is requesting an annual increase of $175 to its monthly retainer over the next three years. If approved, the monthly retainer rates will be as follows:
o $3,900 for the period July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026
o $4,075 for the period July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027
o $4,250 for the period July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2028
Because of California Consulting’s ongoing success, and with the City and the staff’s capacity to continue pursuing outside funding on behalf of the City, staff is recommending that the City Council approve the professional services agreement.

LEGAL REVIEW:

Page 217 of 1106 ends

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total financial impact of the General Fund for FY 25-26 is $46,800, FY 26-27 is $48,900, and FY 27-28 is $51,000. For Fiscal Year FY2025-26, the City proposes a budget allocation of $44,700 for Grant Writing- $4,200 less than the projected need. This shortfall will be covered through cost savings in other areas of the General Fund.

E. Consultant’s Waiver of Subrogation. The insurance policies required under this Section shall not prohibit Consultant and Consultant’s employees, agents or subconsultants from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives all rights of subrogation against City.

F. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City.

G. Cancellations or Modifications to Coverage. Consultant shall not cancel, reduce or otherwise modify the insurance policies required by this Section during the term of this Agreement.

If any insurance policy required under this Section is canceled or reduced in coverage or limits, Consultant shall, within two Business Days of notice from the insurer, phone, fax or notify City via certified mail, return receipt requested, of the cancellation of or changes to the policy.

H. City Remedy for Noncompliance. If Consultant does not maintain the policies of insurance required under this Section in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or in the event any of Consultant’s policies do not comply with the requirements under this Section, City may either immediately terminate this Agreement or, if insurance is available at a reasonable cost, City may, but has no duty to, take out the necessary insurance and pay, at Consultant’s expense, the premium thereon.

Consultant shall promptly reimburse City for any premium paid by City or City may withhold amounts sufficient to pay the premiums from payments due to Consultant.

I. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to the performance of Services under this Agreement, Consultant shall furnish City’s Risk Manager or such other official designed by the City Manager with a certificate or certificates of insurance and all original endorsements evidencing and effecting the coverages required under this Section.

Page 225 of 1106 ends

-8- Ver. 02/2019
12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
copies of all required insurance policies to City. Consultant shall maintain current endorsements on file with City’s Risk Manager. Consultant shall provide proof to City’s Risk Manager that insurance policies expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage.

Consultant shall furnish such proof at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.

J. Indemnity Requirements not Limiting. Procurement of insurance by Consultant shall not be construed as a limitation of Consultant’s liability or as full performance of Consultant’s duty to indemnify City under Section 8 of this Agreement.

K. SubConsultant Insurance Requirements. Consultant shall require each of its subconsultants that perform Services under this Agreement to maintain insurance coverage that meets all of the requirements of this Section.

10. Mutual Cooperation.

A. City’s Cooperation. City shall provide Consultant with all pertinent Data, documents and other requested information as is reasonably available for Consultant’s proper performance of the Services required under this Agreement.

B. Consultant’s Cooperation. In the event any claim or action is brought against City relating to Consultant’s performance of Services rendered under this Agreement, Consultant shall render any reasonable assistance that City requires.

11. Records and Inspections. Consultant shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to time, costs, expenses, receipts, correspondence, and other such information required by City that relate to the performance of the Services. All such records shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be clearly identified and readily accessible. Consultant shall provide free access to City, its designees and representatives at reasonable times, and shall allow City to examine and audit the books and records, to make transcripts therefrom as necessary, and to inspect all work, data, documents, proceedings and activities related to this Agreement. Such records, together with supporting documents, shall be maintained for a period of three years after receipt of final payment.

12. Termination of Agreement.

12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
B. Obligations upon Termination. Consultant shall cease all work under this Agreement on or before the effective date of termination specified in the notice of termination. In the event of City’s termination of this Agreement due to no fault or failure of performance by Consultant, City shall pay Consultant based on the percentage of work satisfactorily performed up to the effective date of termination.

Consultant shall have no other claim against City by reason of such termination, including any claim for compensation.

13. Force Majeure. Consultant shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if Consultant presents acceptable evidence, in City’s sole judgment, that such failure was due to acts of God, embargoes, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond Consultant’s reasonable control and not due to any act by Consultant.

14. Default.

A. Consultant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that Consultant is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default.

B. In addition to the right to terminate pursuant to Section 12, if the City Manager determines that Consultant is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, City shall serve Consultant with written notice of the default. Consultant shall have ten calendar days after service upon it of the notice in which to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance. In the event that Consultant fails to cure its default within such period of time, City may, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

As used in this Section, “assignment” and “delegation” means any sale, gift, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other transfer of all or any portion of the rights, obligations, or liabilities in or arising from this Agreement to any person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and regardless of the legal form of the transaction in which the attempted transfer occurs.

18. No Third Party Beneficiaries Intended. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entity may have or acquire a right by virtue of this Agreement.

19. Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to City under this Agreement shall impair any right, power or remedy of City, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of, or consent to, any breach or default. No waiver of any breach, any failure of a condition, or any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be (1) effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party making the waiver, (2) deemed

Page 228 of 1106 ends

-11- Ver. 02/2019
12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
to be a waiver of, or consent to, any other breach, failure of a condition, or right or remedy, or (3) deemed to constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing expressly so states.

20. Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release. The acceptance by Consultant of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Consultant for anything done, furnished or relating to Consultant’s work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of City’s check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of Consultant, its employees, subconsultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Consultant, its employees, subconsultants and agents.

21. Corrections. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, Consultant shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City’s review of Consultant’s report or plans. Should Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Consultant. In addition to all other available remedies, City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by City or may withhold payment otherwise owed Consultant under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

22. Non-Appropriation of Funds. Payments to be made to Consultant by City for services performed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that City does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of Consultant’s services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover payment for Consultant’s services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which City appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

23. Exhibits. Exhibits A and B constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. If any inconsistency exists or arises between a provision of this Agreement and a provision of any exhibit, or between a provision of this Agreement and a provision of Consultant’s proposal, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

24. Entire Agreement and Modification of Agreement. This Agreement and all exhibits referred to in this Agreement constitute the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings and agreements of the Parties. No Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, nor is any Party relying on, any representation or warranty except

27. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in respect to all provisions of this Agreement that specify a time for performance; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to limit or deprive a Party of the benefits of any grace or use period allowed in this Agreement.

28. Business Days. “Business days” means days Maywood City Hall is open for business.

29. Governing Law and Choice of Forum. This Agreement, and any dispute arising from the relationship between the Parties to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in interpreting this Agreement. Any dispute that arises under or relates to this Agreement (whether contract, tort or both) shall be resolved in a superior court with geographic jurisdiction over the City of Maywood.

30. Attorneys’ Fees. In any litigation or other proceeding by which a Party seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement (whether in contract, tort or both) or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover all attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, and other costs actually incurred in connection with such litigation or other proceeding, in addition to all other relief to which that Party may be entitled.

31. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and continue in full force and effect.

A Proposal for the City of Maywood
History
Founded in 2004, California Consulting has an excellent reputation for hard work and a commitment to success for our clients. California Consulting is the largest grant writing firm in California. With offices in Southern California, Northern California and Central California, we have almost 135 clients statewide. We have 55 members of our team from Chico in the North, to San Diego in the South. California Consulting has developed an expertise in representing public agencies, and non-profit organizations. We have secured over $1.6 billion for our clients since inception. The California Consulting team boasts approximately 30 grant writers. Through years of experience our grant writers have a proven track record of success and have mastered their skills of identifying, researching, and obtaining funding for significant projects at every level of government. California Consulting grant writers have written over 1,650 competitive grant applications that have been funded.

Our aggressive, hard-working, and results-oriented style has translated into success for our clients.

Our professional grant writers are diligent and stay current on every Federal and State grant available on a myriad of different topics and public policy areas. Whether it is recreation, education, parks money, or public safety our grants team knows where to locate grant funds and how to successfully write the applications.

Grant Funding Services
California Consulting is a full service grant writing firm. We are experts in the fields of grant research and identification. We prepare comprehensive and concise grant application packages. We submit grants in a timely fashion and follow through after the grant has been submitted to determine the status of the grant. We also conduct post award compliance and administration. California Consulting has a fundamental business philosophy founded on open communication and tailoring the grants we pursue to fit our client’s needs.

1. Needs Assessment (Meetings with Department Heads to review priorities and funding needs): We learn about the client at the outset of the contract by conducting an in-depth Needs Assessment. Each client is assigned a lead Project Manager. The Project Manager communicates regularly with the client and on an ongoing basis. Thisrelationship building is the key to keeping the grants pursued on target with the client’s overall goals.

Sample questions asked during the Needs Assessment:
a) List and describe any program initiatives or priority projects. b) What needs, projects, or content areas would you like to target for funding? You can list specific projects or general areas in which you have funding needs. c) List any grants for which you are considering applying or have decided to apply. In addition, please list what kind of grant-writing support would be helpful for each grant. d) List past grants that your agency has received.
e) List past grant applications you would like to revise and submit again.

2. Facilitation of Department Decision Making Processes: Our Project Managers are experts on grant identification. With years of experience, your Project Manager will be

Page 234 of 1106 ends

Page 2 of 3 ends

able to assist your Staff in deciding which grants make the most sense to meet the funding needs identified.

3. Grant Research and Identification: Our Project Manager’s conduct thorough research on an ongoing basis. We track current and upcoming grants in order to let our client’s know what is available and what we recommend would fit their situation. By regularly tracking grant announcements we are able to present these grant opportunities to our clients as soon as they are released. California Consulting will provide you with a Grant Activity Report monthly detailing the grants available, grants in progress and grants submitted. You will also be provided with available grant opportunities on an ongoing basis.

4. Client Commitment: When identifying grants that meet your needs and funding priorities, your Project Manager will advise you of the estimated time commitment required from your staff.

5. Grant Preparation Process: When your staff and California Consulting agree to pursue a grant, we will develop a checklist and schedule. The checklist and schedule will include what things you will be responsible for and when we will need them submitted. We need your staff involved in the grant preparation process to provide required information we don’t have access to. The Project Manager will provide you with grant portions along the way to review for content accuracy. The more engaged you are able to be in this process, the higher quality the application will be. California Consulting retains copies of all grants we’ve submitted. If the application was successful, we use it as a guide for future grants.

Below is a list of general tasks for our grant process:
a. Create a task timeline with due dates
b. Ensure the proposed project meets the grant agency’s requirements c. Review similar successful grant applications and apply where possible d. Collect information on the project
e. Meet with staff to create an accurate scope of work, budget, timeline, narratives, and cost analysis
f. Obtain letters of support when necessary
g. Draft proposals and send to staff for review
h. Incorporate staff edits in final drafts
i. Submit completed application timely
j. Monitor funding agency until grant awards are announced.

6. Quality Assurance: California Consulting takes pride in our impeccable grant applications. We are successful in this area due to our thorough quality assurance measures. Our Grant Mangers conduct group meetings with all Project Managers regularly.

In addition, our Grant Managers meet individually with each Project Manager to review each client. These meetings thoroughly discuss each client’s needs, what grants are being worked on and what additional grants may be a good fit. We ensure the best quality product before the grant application is submitted.

7. Facilitation of Partnership Meetings: Our Project Managers will arrange and schedule meetings with key personnel to review all grants prior to submission to ensure application accuracy.

8. Timely Submission: We create a precise timeline to ensure the grant is submitted on time.

This timeline not only captures the submission deadline, but we create other deadlines in order to obtain the information needed for a quality submission. We believe if everyone is on the same page and is aware of what needs to be done, we can limit scrambling at the last minute.

9. Funding Agency Monitoring: California Consulting will monitor the Funding Agency until grant awards are announced.

Page 235 of 1106 ends

Page 3 of 3 ends

10. Grant Administration: Some grants require post award compliance, reporting and administration. California Consulting will prepare required agency reports and submit them by the required due date. We propose that to the extent legally allowed, the Client hire California Consulting as grant administrators when dollars are available from within the grant (at no additional cost to you). When grant dollars from the grant are not available for administration, reporting and evaluation purposes we will provide these services to the Client for a monthly fee, or a one-time fee based on the Client’s preference. If the Client chooses the monthly retainer option, grant administration services are included.

11. Monthly Progress Reporting: California Consulting will prepare a monthly report reflecting grants in progress, grants submitted and grants awarded. This will provide you and your Council with a clear report on our work.

References
California Consulting references include key leaders from around the State. All of our current clients are references. California Consulting currently has contracts with over 60 cities across California, almost 40 School Districts, Non-Profits and others.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

DATE: June 25, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY DIRECTORY OF BUILDING AND PLANNING SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL FOR ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT

TO FRIENDS OF THE LA RIVER TO HOST A LITTER CLEAN UP EVENT AT SPEAKER ANTHONY RENDON RIVERFRONT PARK LOCATION AT 5000 SLAUSON AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Special Event Permit submitted by Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) to host a community cleanup event at Riverfront Park on Friday, June 27, 2025, subject to all required conditions of approval.

BACKGROUND:

Per the Maywood Municipal Code Chapter 15, a Special Event Permit is required for any organized activity involving 75 or more individuals on public property. Section 5-15.02 specifically mandates City Council approval for such gatherings.

The Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR), a nonprofit organization dedicated to environmental stewardship and community education, has submitted a Special Event Permit Application to conduct a litter cleanup event in the City of Maywood. The event will take place at Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park (5000 Slauson Avenue).

DISCUSSION:

FoLAR’s proposed event supports the City’s goals of enhancing environmental quality and encouraging civic engagement. The applicant has submitted the completed application, insurance documentation, and a site map. The event is not anticipated to significantly disrupt traffic or City services.

Staff will coordinate internally to ensure appropriate conditions are applied, such as traffic safety measures, public right-of-way clearance, and sanitation requirements. Final approval will be contingent upon full compliance with permit conditions and receipt of the applicable permit fee.

As previously stated, FoLAR is proposing to host a community cleanup event on Friday, June 27, 2025, at Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park, and will include setup from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., followed by the cleanup activities from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and concluding with take-down from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Approximately 200 to 250 participants are expected to attend. The event will include the use of 3 to 4 tables and 3 to 4 pop-up tents (10'x10') to support volunteer coordination and material distribution. A small portable speaker will be used briefly for introductory remarks. The applicant has arranged for four portable restrooms (including two ADA-accessible units), a handwashing station, and a two-yard dumpster to be placed within the traffic circle between 59th Place and Walker Avenue. The dumpster will be positioned to avoid obstruction of

Page 241 of 1106 ends

traffic and will be dropped off and picked up on the same day. A Certificate of Insurance naming the City of Maywood as an additional insured has been submitted.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The standard Special Event Permit fee of $192 will be collected as part of the application process. There is no additional fiscal impact to the City, as the applicant will provide all necessary logistics and cleanup.

BY: MIGUEL LEON, DEPUTY CITY CLERK/ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATES (ESA) FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A

QUALIFIED CLIMATE ACTION, ADAPTATION, AND RESILIENCE PLAN (CAARP) RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Environmental Science Associates (ESA), in an amount not-to-exceed $162,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement for the development of a Qualified Climate Action, Adaptation, and Resilience Plan (CAARP), in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5.

BACKGROUND:

In March 2025, the City Council directed staff to pursue a formal proposal for the development of a Qualified Climate Action, Adaptation, and Resilience Plan (CAARP) and return with a recommendation for next steps. In April 2025, the City received a proposal from Environmental Science Associates (ESA), the City’s current consultant, outlining the scope of work and cost to develop the CAARP as a Qualified Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Strategy in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5.

In May 2025, the proposal was presented and discussed at the May 25 City Council meeting. At that time, the Council directed staff to bring forward a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for formal consideration and placement on the Consent Calendar, unless otherwise requested. In June 25, 2025, the item returns for Council consideration and action on the proposed Professional Services Agreement with ESA to initiate development of the Qualified CAARP.

DISCUSSION:

A Qualified CAARP would enable the City to streamline future CEQA reviews for applicable development projects, improve regulatory compliance, and support implementation of consistent greenhouse gas reduction strategies aligned with SB 32 and AB 1279.

Key services outlined in ESA’s proposal include:
• Preparation of a programmatic Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) • Development of a CEQA streamlining checklist
• Creation of a GHG monitoring and implementation tracking tool • Public hearing support and project documentation

Page 249 of 1106 ends

The Qualified CAARP will be integrated into the City’s ongoing CAARP planning effort currently funded by Caltrans. The proposed timeline anticipates project completion by December 2025, ensuring consistency with existing grant requirements and project milestones.

The scope of work and not-to-exceed cost are based on general assumptions outlined in ESA’s proposal, including the anticipated level of CEQA review, consolidated staff feedback, and no requirement for specialized technical studies or tribal consultation. Any significant variance may require a future contract amendment.

Upon approval of the Professional Services Agreement, staff will initiate project coordination with ESA and begin implementation of the approved scope of work in accordance with the project timeline and deliverables.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The not-to-exceed cost of the Professional Services Agreement is $162,000. This amount will be allocated from the General Fund's estimated available balance in FY 25-26 as shown below, and no grant funds will be used for this agreement. Any future costs associated with the CAARP will be assessed at a later date and presented to the City Council for further consideration, if necessary.

FY 25-26 Estimated Available Balance:
$365,961
Current Approved Item: $162,000
FY 25-26 Estimated Remaining
Available Balance: $203,961

12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
shall not be considered “voluntary,” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena.

B. Contractor shall promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or Subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed thereunder or with respect to any project or property located within the City. City may, but has no obligation to, represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor.

C. All Data required to be furnished to City in connection with this Agreement shall become City’s property, and City may use all or any portion of the Data submitted by Contractor as City deems appropriate. Upon completion of, or in the event of termination or suspension of this Agreement, all original documents, designs, drawings, maps, models, computer files containing data generated for the Services, surveys, notes, and other documents prepared in the course of providing the Services shall become City’s sole property and may be used, reused or otherwise disposed of by City without Contractor’s permission.

During the term of this Agreement, Contractor may perform similar Services for other clients, but Contractor and its officers, employees, associates and Subcontractors shall not, without the City Representative’s prior written approval, perform work for another person or entity for whom Contractor is not currently performing work that would require Contractor or one of its officers, employees, associates or subcontractors to abstain from a decision under this Agreement pursuant to a conflict of interest statute.

Contractor shall defend the Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in connection with any Liabilities with counsel of the Indemnitees’ choice, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including all attorneys’ fees and experts’ costs actually incurred in connection with such defense. Contractor shall reimburse the Indemnitees for any and all legal expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitees in connection therewith. 2) Contractor shall pay all required taxes on amounts paid to Contractor under this Agreement and indemnify and hold City harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against City by reason of the independent Contractor relationship created by this Agreement. Contractor shall fully comply with the workers’ compensation law regarding Contractor and Contractor’s employees. Contractor shall indemnify and hold City harmless from any failure of Contractor to comply with applicable workers’ compensation laws. City may offset against the amount of any fees due to Contractor under this Agreement any amount due to City from Contractor as a result of Contractor’s failure to promptly pay to City any reimbursement or indemnification arising under this subparagraph A.2). 3) Contractor shall obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those in this Section from each and every Subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance of this Agreement.

alleged or threatened, which arise out of, are claimed to arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the acts or omissions of Contractor’s Subcontractor, its officers, agents, servants, employees, Subcontractors, materialmen, Contractors or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual that Contractor’s Subcontractor shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of this Agreement, including the Indemnitees’ active or passive negligence, except for Liabilities arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees as determined by court decision or by the agreement of the Parties.

B. Workers’ Compensation Acts not Limiting. Contractor’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. Contractor expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.

C. Insurance Requirements not Limiting. City does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against Contractor because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement.

D. Survival of Terms. Contractor’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

9. Insurance.

If any insurance policy required under this Section is canceled or reduced in coverage or limits, Contractor shall, within two Business Days of notice from the insurer, phone, fax or notify City via certified mail, return receipt requested, of the cancellation of or changes to the policy.

H. City Remedy for Noncompliance. If Contractor does not maintain the policies of insurance required under this Section in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or in the event any of Contractor’s policies do not comply with the

Page 257 of 1106 ends

-8- Ver. 02/2019
12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
requirements under this Section, City may either immediately terminate this Agreement or, if insurance is available at a reasonable cost, City may, but has no duty to, take out the necessary insurance and pay, at Contractor’s expense, the premium thereon.

I. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to the performance of Services under this Agreement, Contractor shall furnish City’s Risk Manager or such other official designed by the City Manager with a certificate or certificates of insurance and all original endorsements evidencing and effecting the coverages required under this Section. The endorsements are subject to City’s approval. Contractor may provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies to City. Contractor shall maintain current endorsements on file with City’s Risk Manager. Contractor shall provide proof to City’s Risk Manager that insurance policies expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage.

Contractor shall furnish such proof at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.

J. Indemnity Requirements not Limiting. Procurement of insurance by Contractor shall not be construed as a limitation of Contractor’s liability or as full performance of Contractor’s duty to indemnify City under Section 8 of this Agreement.

10. Mutual Cooperation.

12. Termination of Agreement.

A. Right to Terminate. City may terminate this Agreement at any time, at will, for any reason or no reason, after giving written notice to Contractor at least ten calendar days before the termination is to be effective. Contractor may terminate this Agreement at any time, at will, for any reason or no reason, after giving written notice to City at least 60 calendar days before the termination is to be effective.

B. Obligations upon Termination. Contractor shall cease all work under this Agreement on or before the effective date of termination specified in the notice of termination. In the event of City’s termination of this Agreement due to no fault or failure of performance by Contractor, City shall pay Contractor based on the percentage of work satisfactorily performed up to the effective date of termination. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to receive more than the amount that would be paid to Contractor for the full performance of the Services required by this Agreement. Contractor shall have no other claim against City by reason of such termination, including any claim for compensation.

13. Force Majeure. Contractor shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if Contractor presents acceptable evidence, in City’s sole judgment, that such failure was due to acts of God, embargoes, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond Contractor’s reasonable control and not due to any act by Contractor.

14. Default.

A. Contractor’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that Contractor is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default.

B. In addition to the right to terminate pursuant to Section 12, if the City Manager determines that Contractor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, City shall serve Contractor with written notice of the default. Contractor shall have ten calendar days after service upon it of the notice in which to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance. In the event that Contractor fails to cure its default within such period of time, City may, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

16. Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity. In the performance of this Agreement, Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee, Subcontractor or applicant for employment because of race, color, religious creed, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, sexual orientation or other basis prohibited by law. Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that Subcontractors and applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religious creed, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information or sexual orientation.

17. Prohibition of Assignment and Delegation. Contractor shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement, either in whole or in part, without City’s prior written consent. City’s consent to an assignment of rights under this Agreement shall not release Contractor from any of its obligations or alter any of its primary obligations to be performed under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section shall be void and of no effect and shall entitle City to terminate this Agreement. As used in this Section, “assignment” and “delegation” means any sale, gift, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other transfer of all or any portion of the rights, obligations, or liabilities in or arising from this Agreement to any person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and regardless of the legal form of the transaction in which the attempted transfer occurs.

Page 260 of 1106 ends

-11- Ver. 02/2019
12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
breach, any failure of a condition, or any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be (1) effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party making the waiver, (2) deemed to be a waiver of, or consent to, any other breach, failure of a condition, or right or remedy, or (3) deemed to constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing expressly so states.

20. Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release. The acceptance by Contractor of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Contractor for anything done, furnished or relating to Contractor’s work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of City’s check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of Contractor, its employees, subContractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Contractor, its employees, subContractors and agents.

21. Corrections. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, Contractor shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City’s review of Contractor’s report or plans. Should Contractor fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Contractor. In addition to all other available remedies, City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by City or may withhold payment otherwise owed Contractor under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

22. Non-Appropriation of Funds. Payments to be made to Contractor by City for services performed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that City does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of Contractor’s services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover payment for Contractor’s services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which City appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

23. Exhibits. Exhibits A and B constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. If any inconsistency exists or arises between a provision of this Agreement and a provision of any exhibit, or between a provision of this Agreement and a provision of Contractor’s proposal, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

28. Business Days. “Business days” means days Maywood City Hall is open for business.

32. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

Subject: Proposal to Develop the City of Maywood Climate Action Adaptation and Resilience Plan (CAARP) as a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy
Dear Mr. Leon:

Environmental Science Associates (ESA) is pleased to submit this scope of work and cost estimate to support the City of Maywood with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review and other tasks needed to make the City of Maywood Climate Action Adaptation and Resilience Plan (CAARP) a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy under CEQA Guidelines 15183.5b, which provides a framework for programmatic greenhouse gas emissions reduction plans. The scope of work presented herein includes ESA’s understanding of the Project, our proposed approach for achieving CEQA compliance, an outline and brief description of proposed tasks, and a draft schedule timeline with milestones that coordinates with the ongoing development of your CAARP.

Regarding CEQA, ESA’s proposed scope of work assumes that, based on our current understanding of the policies, strategies and actions that are likely to be included in the CAARP, all potentially significant effects associated with the adoption of the CAARP can be reduced to less-than-significant levels with implementation of mitigation measures.

Therefore, we believe that an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) will be the appropriate CEQA document for the CAARP. Details on our proposed scope of work and fee estimate for CEQA compliance are provided within this letter proposal. In the event significant impacts are identified through the course of the Initial Study that cannot be reduced with mitigation, and an Environmental Impact Report is required, ESA can prepare a separate scope of work and cost estimate for such work.

ESA appreciates the opportunity to serve the City of Maywood. If you have any questions about this scope of work, please contact Jeff Caton.

Respectfully,
Jeff Caton
Vice President

Developing the CAARP as a “Qualified GHG Reduction Plan” Understanding and Approach
ESA understands that the City of Maywood may desire its CAARP (the Project) to be a Qualified GHG Reduction Plan, as defined by the CEQA Guidelines, which enables CEQA streamlining of future development projects to demonstrate a less-than-significant impact with respect to GHG emissions impacts by demonstrating consistency with policies, measures and performance standards in the CAARP. Technically, the CAARP must therefore be a “qualified” GHG reduction plan as outlined in Section 15183.5(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines (see inset).

The key benefit of a qualified CAARP is that it facilitates CEQA review of future development projects within the City by streamlining GHG impacts analyses by tiering from the programmatic environmental review contained in the CEQA document for the CAARP. In doing so, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(h)(3), 15130(d), and 15183(b), a project’s incremental contribution to climate change resulting from the project’s GHG emissions may be determined not to be cumulatively considerable.

A qualified GHG strategy must meet the following requirements, per CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b):

1. Community-wide GHG inventory and forecast: The strategy must include a comprehensive inventory of current GHG emissions and a forecast of future emissions.

2. GHG emission reduction targets: It must establish specific targets for reducing GHG emissions that align with State mandates (i.e., SB 32 and AB 1279).

3. Mitigation strategy: The plan must detail the measures and actions that will be implemented to achieve the reduction targets. It should specify measures, including performance standards, that substantial evidence demonstrates, if implemented on a project-by-project basis, would collectively achieve the specified emissions level.

4. Implementation and monitoring: There should be a clear plan for how the strategy will be implemented and monitored over time to ensure its effectiveness, and the plan should be monitored and adjusted on a periodic basis to ensure the city stays on track towards meeting the reduction targets.

5. Public process: The strategy must be adopted through a public process after environmental review (i.e., CEQA).

What is a Qualified CAP?
A “qualified” CAP (or GHG reduction plan), as
outlined in Section 15183.5(b) of the State
CEQA Guidelines, must include a GHG target
that is consistent with the goals of Senate Bill
32 (achieve 40 percent reduction compared
to 1990 by 2030) and Assembly Bill 1279 (85
reduction compared to 1990 by 2045) and a
clear road map to meet that target through
implementation of feasible measures to
reduce GHG emissions. To remain qualified, a
CAP must be monitored and adjusted on a
periodic basis, due to rapidly evolving state
policy, legislation, and climate science, as
well as the inherent uncertainty regarding the
success of individual GHG reduction
strategies.

ESA’s current contract to develop the CAARP can accommodate the first three requirements, but it should be noted that meeting the reduction targets will require relatively aggressive measures and performance goals for the energy, transportation and solid waste sectors, in particular. Our approach to developing a qualified CAARP will include advising the City on the best way to achieve state-aligned reduction targets based on community input, alignment with state and regional efforts, and feasibility considerations including staff time and implementation barriers (e.g., costs and funding availability).

Since 2022, ESA has been helping the City develop its CAARP. Based on this experience, ESA has developed a sound understanding of the community of Maywood and an understanding of the City’s and community’s priorities for the CAARP. Our approach and scope of work assume that implementation of the CAARP would generally provide beneficial changes and that the CAARP would not result in substantive changes to land uses, such as intensification in areas, or changes to infrastructure, such as transit or trails, that would warrant substantial analyses. Based on our current understanding of the policies, strategies and actions that are likely to be included in the CAARP, we anticipate that all potentially significant effects associated with the adoption of the CAARP can be reduced to less-than-significant levels with implementation of mitigation measures. Therefore, we believe that an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) will be the appropriate CEQA document for the CAARP. In addition, ESA assumes that public comment on the ND/MND will not be extensive given the beneficial nature of the CAARP. In the event significant impacts are identified through the course of the Initial Study that cannot be reduced with mitigation, and an Environmental Impact Report is required, ESA can prepare a separate scope of work and cost estimate for such work.

Scope of Work
Task 1: CEQA IS/MND
Task 1.1 – Initiation and Kickoff Meeting
Within one week of receiving the Notice to Proceed (NTP), ESA’s Management Team will schedule and conduct a virtual online project kickoff meeting with City staff. ESA will prepare an agenda before the meeting and will distribute meeting minutes within a week after the project kickoff meeting. The purposes of the project kickoff meeting will be as follows:
 Review the scope of work, establish team roles and clear lines of communication  Establish procedures for product review and task completion.  Obtain any additional technical reports, ordinances, and studies.  Establish a mutual understanding of the key IS/(M)ND issues and delve into project-related issues.  Discuss the project description.
 Identify a preliminary project schedule and key milestones, including delivery of and review of technical studies.

Deliverables
 Project kickoff meeting agenda.
 A virtual online initial project kickoff meeting with City staff.  Project kickoff meeting minutes.

Assumptions:

Page 279 of 1106 ends

Mr. Leon
April 17, 2025

Page 4 ends

 ESA assumes that the City of Maywood will be the CEQA lead agency. In this role as lead agency under CEQA, the City will have primary review of the CEQA document and approval of the Project.  Project site visit is not required since the project includes the entire City within its scope of analysis.

Task 1.2 – Prepare Project Description
ESA will prepare a draft and final Project description to provide the level of detail needed to support the CEQA impact analysis. ESA will coordinate with City staff and will utilize the knowledge and expertise of the ESA staff who prepared the draft CAARP (the Project). ESA assumes City staff will provide ESA with all relevant historical information applicable to the Project. After receipt of relevant technical reports, ESA will provide a list of data needs to City staff. Following receipt of the data needs, ESA will prepare a project description that will clearly describe the components of the project, as well as the timing of each of the project phases. It is important that the project description effectively identify project components that may not be fully defined. Effectively disclosing these parameters is important to the public’s confidence in the analysis, the legal adequacy of the environmental document, and the City’s flexibility in implementing the CAARP over time.

Deliverables: Draft (for City review and comment) and Final Project Description (electronic copies – MS Word) Task 1.3 – Prepare the Administrative Draft Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration
Under Task 3, ESA will prepare an administrative draft of the Initial Study (IS). The IS will present a basic description of the existing environmental setting, adequate to inform the Project’s analysis and provide an evaluation of impacts based on the CEQA Appendix G Guidelines. ESA will evaluate changes from the existing conditions and analyze potential Project impacts that could result from implementation of the CAARP. The IS narrative will include brief explanations for all effects (i.e., Potentially Significant, Potentially Significant without Mitigation Incorporated, Less Than Significant, and No Impact) that could impact the environment at or near the Project area. As necessary, ESA will develop Project-specific mitigation measures to avoid and/or minimize environmental impacts. ESA will include appropriate text demonstrating consistency with existing local and regional planning documents and zoning, as well as the Mandatory Findings of Significance section for the City of Maywood to review and input.

The IS will include all of the information required by Section 15063(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines, including:
 A description of the Project and its environmental setting  A map showing the location of the Project
 The probable environmental effects of the Project
 A discussion of ways to mitigate the significant effects  A discussion of whether the project would be consistent with existing zoning, plans, and other applicable land use controls
 Required entitlements and Project approvals
Based on our understanding of the Project and existing conditions, ESA anticipates that several resource topics may not result in significant impacts associated with implementation of the Project. For the resource areas

of Agricultural/Forestry Resources, Geology/Soils and Mineral Resources, Land Use, Population and Housing, Recreation, Public Services, Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire, simplified and brief discussions are proposed. Qualitative evaluations will be provided for the remainder of the environmental issues including Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Air Quality, Energy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Transportation and Tribal Cultural Resources. No technical reports are proposed to be prepared.

ESA will submit an electronic version (MS Word) of the complete Administrative Draft IS/MND to the City for review and comment in track-changes mode. Graphics and figures will also be submitted as a single pdf. ESA assumes that one consolidated round of review and comments on the Admin Draft IS/MND will be adequate for this task as provided from the City.

Deliverables: Administrative Draft IS/MND (electronic copy – MS Word); graphics and figures (electronic copies – pdf) Task 1.4 – Prepare Screencheck Draft IS/MND
ESA will incorporate the City’s comments on the Administrative Draft IS/MND and prepare a Screencheck Draft IS/MND for final City approval. All internal City comments on the Administrative Draft IS/MND will be provided to ESA in one consolidated MS Word file. ESA will incorporate City comments on the Administrative Draft IS/MND and submit one electronic version of the Screencheck Draft IS/MND. To further streamline the review process, any mitigation measures developed to address potential impacts will be organized in a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and included as a chapter in the IS/MND. In the MMRP, ESA will define details on the implementation procedures for mitigation measures listed in the Draft IS/MND. ESA anticipates that the comments on the Screencheck Draft IS/MND will direct revisions to the Administrative Draft IS/MND and assumes that no additional or new technical analysis will be needed or requested and that Administrative Draft IS/MND technical analyses will not need to be revised based on changes to the Project description. As indicated in the cost estimate, we have allocated a modest level of effort to this task based on our past experience that the level of effort decreases from the administrative draft stage to the screencheck stage.

This scope of work assumes one round of review of the Administrative Draft IS/MND.

Deliverables: Screencheck Draft IS/MND (electronic copies – MS Word and PDF including graphics and appendices) Task 1.5 – Prepare IS/MND for Public Review
This task includes publication of the Draft IS/MND. On behalf of the City, ESA will provide a Notice of Intent to Adopt (NOI) and the Public Review Draft IS/MND to 25 local entities. Two paper copies of the Draft IS/MND can be made available for public review at the City’s Planning Department counter and/or local library, if requested. We anticipate that, at minimum, the CEQA document will be posted electronically on the City’s website and posted to the CEQAnet website through the Governor’s Office of Land Use & Climate Innovation. ESA will also submit the NOI, Summary Form, and Notice of Completion to the CEQAnet portal.

ESA will attend one public meeting or virtual meeting to receive comments on the draft IS/MND during the public review period. We assume that the City will coordinate the public hearing and provide materials describing or illustrating the Project. We recommend commenters submit written comments on the draft IS/MND for public review. To the extent

Page 281 of 1106 ends

practical, ESA will take notes on issues raised by commenting individuals that could be addressed in the Response to Comments Memorandum. ESA can be available to provide an overview of the CEQA process and answer questions raised by the public regarding the CEQA process.

Deliverables:
 Public Review IS/MND; Notice of Completion and Notice of Intent to Adopt (electronic copies – MS Word and PDF) to be provided to City staff.
 Public Review Draft IS/MND and NOI, submitted electronically to the State Office of Land Use & Climate Innovation’s CEQAnet portal; up to 25 paper copies of the NOI to agencies and interested persons to be distributed by overnight FedEx mail.
 Up to two paper copies of the Public Review Draft IS/MND with the appendices on a USB flash drive on the back inside cover of the document, submitted by ESA to City staff for display at the Planning Department counter and/or local library.
 The NOI, to be placed in the local newspaper for at least one day by City staff.

Task 1.6 – Response to Comments Memorandum
After the close of the public review period, ESA will virtually meet with City staff to review comment letters from agencies and the public on the MND, as deemed necessary. We understand this Project is not likely to be contentious, however, public and agency comment letters are expected. For budgeting purposes, we assume up to 36 hours of technical staff and 8 hours of production staff to prepare a Responses to Comments memorandum. If comments require more time to prepare responses, ESA will inform the City of a need for a contract amendment. This document will be available for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council while they are considering adoption of the proposed MND.

The combination of the Public Review Draft IS/MND and Response to Comments constitute the Final IS/MND.

Deliverables: Responses to Comment Memorandum (electronic copies – MS Word and PDF) Task 1.7 – Project Approval with Presentation at Planning Commission and City Council Approval Meeting and Public Meeting
ESA will use Project information and analysis from the Initial Study and proposed MND as foundational information to prepare for public hearings where the Planning Commission and City Council will consider Project approval and adoption of the MND. If necessary, the Project Manager and/or Deputy Project Manager can be on hand to participate or answer questions about the CEQA process or results. ESA will prepare a Notice of Determination (NOD) for the City’s signature and submittal to the Los Angeles County Recorder/Clerk Office. This task assumes attendance at one Planning Commission hearing and one City Council hearing and assumes up to 20 hours for meeting attendance and preparation of the NOD. If additional, time is required for this task, ESA will inform City staff and request a contract amendment.

Deliverables: Provide Notice of Determination to City staff; Attend one Planning Commission and one City Council hearings.

Assumption: In-person attendance will be required at two public hearings.
