ITEM # 11

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance

SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 CONFIRMATION OF ANNUAL TAX RATE FOR

VOTER APPROVED INDEBTEDNESS

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Review and adopt the attached Resolution No. 23-34 establishing property tax override (PTO) rates on voter approved indebtedness for retirement expenditures for the Fiscal Year 2023-24; and

2. Direct staff to forward the resolution to the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller within the required time limit; and

3. Direct staff to take whatever additional actions necessary to ensure collection of the property tax override.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Voters in the City of Montebello have twice approved a property tax override (PTO) rate to fund the City’s participation in the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). This voter approved property tax override revenue is utilized to fund annual debt service on the Series 2020 Pension Obligation Bonds (issued in June 2020 to retire the City’s unfunded actuarial liability) as well as pay for all ongoing pension related costs.

The table below presents historical actuals and the FY 2023-24 proposed (forecasted) revenue in Fund 205 (Retirement Fund):

Page 9 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 3 ends

As the table above shows, the FY 2021-22 actuals were $14.667 million, with FY 2022- 23 adopted budget of $14.541 million. The majority of that revenue is from property tax assessments – inclusive of former redevelopment agency project areas. For FY 2023- 24, the projected revenue for the Retirement Fund is $15.618 million.

The attached resolution sets the property tax override rate and allows it to be assessed for FY 2023-24. In turn, the revenue collected will be utilized for the purposes for which it was established: paying all expenses related to the City’s contract with PERS to provide retirement benefits to its safety and miscellaneous employees as well as annual debt service on the Series 2020 POBs.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Voters in the City of Montebello have twice approved a property tax override (PTO) rate to fund the City’s participation in the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). Elections were first held on July 9, 1946, initially establishing the PTO. A second vote was held on March 2, 1976, affirming the property tax override rate. The City Council subsequently adopted Ordinance No. 2148 in 1996 which codified the tax rate at $0.197875 per $100 of assessed valuation (City of Montebello Municipal Code Section

3.28.020).

The revenue from the property tax override can only be used to pay for retirement system related expenses. The City records receipt of these revenues – collected through the annual property tax assessment process – in a special fund (Fund 205). The revenues received are used to pay the annual unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) and normal cost (i.e., ongoing) expenses to PERS.

On May 13, 2020, the City Council approved issuance of $154 million in Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs) to address Montebello’s pension related unfunded actuarial liability (UAL). The issuance of the POBs extinguished the existing UAL, as of the June 30, 2018, actuarial valuation report. The PTO revenue is utilized to pay the debt service on the POBs, as well as all normal cost expenses and future UAL bases established by subsequent actuarial valuations.

The County of Los Angeles Auditor-Controller requires the City of Montebello submit an approved resolution each year that shows the setting of the rate. The attached resolution (Attachment 1 with Exhibit A) fulfills this requirement and allows the rate to be placed on property tax statements. There is no change to the rate, it remains fixed at the $0.197875 per $100 of assessed value amount.

ANALYSIS:

N/A

SUMMARY:

The retirement expenditures by the City are funded through voter-approved indebtedness authorized by elections held on July 9, 1946 and March 2, 1976. The proposed tax rate of $0.197875 was set by Montebello Municipal Code section 3.28.020, adopted by the City Council in 1996. There is no change to this tax rate for FY 2023-24, it remains the same as previous years.

The resolution setting the override tax rates must be submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller’s office at the beginning of each fiscal year in order for the tax rate to be placed on the property rolls. Assessing the property tax override will allow the City to meet its obligations to bond holders, paying annual debt service on the $154 million in POBs issued in 2020.

The retirement expenditures will be paid solely from the Retirement Special Revenue Fund (Fund 205), as codified in Montebello Municipal Code section 3.28.020. No General Fund revenues will be used to pay for the retirement expenditures.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance

SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 THIRD QUARTER BUDGET AMENDMENTS

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Amend the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget by increasing revenue and expenditure appropriations by the listed amounts in the various accounts listed on Attachment A;

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget was adopted on June 8, 2022. Since adoption, over twenty changes (amendments) to the budget have been made, impacting several different funds (e.g., General Fund, Transit, Proposition M, Grants, Gast Tax, Golf Course, etc.). Furthermore, there are now ten months of financial results that allow trends to be analyzed and additional updates to budget amounts to be made prior to the year-end close.

Using data through early May, 2023, budget amendments are necessary to account for year to date expenditures that currently exceed or are projected to exceed amended budget amounts. The required budget amendments detailed in this report and listed in Attachment A are necessary to match forecasted expenditures with budget amounts. One of the many areas the City’s independent auditors review in the financial statements at year-end is the accuracy of expenditure to budget “matching.” The auditors will highlight accounts where year-end expenditures exceed budget amounts. The budget amendments described in the following paragraphs are necessary to prevent such a finding and match expenses with final budget amounts.

Page 16 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 4 ends

The required budget amendments are in Public Works, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Non- Departmental and the Special Fund for Information Technology Upgrades. A detailed description of the amendments follows in the section below, and Attachment A provides additional information as well.

The net increase to appropriations across all funds is $1,961,000. This is the net amount when taking into account the increase in revenue (Transfers In) against specific expenses.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

N/A

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A

ANALYSIS:

The attached budget amendments (Attachment A) request additional appropriations in Public Works (Engineering), Parks and Recreation and Fire (Administration and Fire).

There are also required budget amendments in Non-Departmental (General Fund) and the Special Revenue Fund created for the citywide information technology and security upgrade project (Fund 325, Information Technology Upgrades).

The Non-Departmental/Information Technology Upgrades project requires a $3,145,024 budget amendment to utilize Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) towards the citywide information technology security, network, storage and productivity project currently underway. As noted in prior reports and communication to the City Council, the entire CSLFRF award amount of $16.59 million was booked as “unrecognized” revenue, per required accounting procedures. As the revenue is used (i.e., as expenses are incurred), it is “recognized” in the appropriate fund and account.

The budget adjustment in Attachment A recognizes $3.145 million in CSLFRF revenue and applies it towards year to date expenses in the capital project fund created to track the information technology project expenses (Fund 325). Because the CSLFRF funds are recorded as unrecognized revenue in the General Fund, accounting principles and rules require a three-step process to recognize the revenue in Fund 325. First, revenue is recognized in the General Fund (Account Nol 100-99-4023.10), then a Transfer Out (expense) is done in the General Fund to move the revenue to Fund 325 (100-99- 7000.85). The final step is to recognize the revenue in Fund 325, to offset the approved expenses already incurred (325-99-4999.30).

There is another Non-Departmental budget adjustment necessary. The $350,000 budget adjustment is required to provide appropriations for the payment of a City Council approved settlement agreement (recorded in the Non-Departmental account of the General Fund, 100-99-6036).

Page 17 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 3 of 4 ends

There is a budget amendment needed in Public Works for $429,000. This amount is what the City was required to remit to CalTrans after conclusion of an incurred cost audit in 2021. The findings from the audit revealed that the City’s prior engineering vendor improperly charged certain costs to a CalTrans grant funded project. The City was required to re-pay these funds, and the expense has been recorded in the General Fund, Engineering Division (Account No. 100-30-330-7050). The audit findings and required reimbursement payment to CalTrans were summarized in an agenda report approved by the City Council in June, 2022.

Parks and Recreation is projecting an additional $508,000 in expenses through the end of the fiscal year-end, spread across full and part-time wages, supplies and contract services. As the City expands its offerings of special events and maintains City Hall screening/lobby staffing, part-time salary expenses are trending higher than budgeted in Parks and Recreation. The adopted budget did not anticipate a “full-time” presence in the City Hall lobby, necessary to abide by pandemic restrictions as well as to provide better customer service to those doing business at City Hall.

There are required budget adjustments by the Parks and Recreation Department (Attachment A) to address these particular expenditure areas. Specifically, $250,000 is required to cover additional part-time wages and overtime related to expanded special events and additional (new) special events managed by the Parks and Recreation Department. Related to these additional/expanded events, an additional $223,000 is needed in supplies and contract services. A portion of the $223,000 is related to refinishing of the gym floor, consultant services for grant applications and additional maintenance at park facilities.

The Fire Department is currently trending to have an additional $674,000 in expenses that requires budget amendments. There are a few primary causes for this: regular (full- time) salaries for MCAP staff are currently being charged to the General Fund and constant staffing overtime in the Suppression Division is trending higher (vacancies in full-time positions).

Recent grant awards for MCAP services will help offset some of the full-time salaries and overtime hitting the General Fund. However, the budget will require an increase ($274,000) as certain grant funding has been used up and new grant funding has tighter restrictions, limiting the amount of time MCAP staff can charge. The additional expenses in constant staffing overtime in the Suppression Division are directly attributable to vacancies in the Firefighter ranks. In order to maintain the required staffing of each unit, additional overtime is necessary. The City Council recently approved hiring and referral bonuses (similar to those approved for the Police Department) in an effort to improve recruitment efforts to help with filling vacancies. Regardless, constant staffing overtime is trending higher, requiring the $400,000 budget amendment.

Every adopted budget is a plan, and the plan changes during the course of a fiscal year. The required budget amendments detailed in this report and listed in Attachment A are necessary to match forecasted expenditures with budget amounts. One of the many areas the City’s independent auditors review in the financial statements at year- end is the expenditure to budget “matching.” The auditors will highlight accounts where

Page 18 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 4 of 4 ends

year-end expenditures exceed budget amounts as part of their required annual review of internal controls. These budget amendments are necessary to prevent such a finding and match expenses with final budget amounts.

SUMMARY:

That City Council amend the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget by increasing revenue and expenditure appropriations by the listed amounts in the various accounts listed on Attachment A and take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: Adrianna Kendricks, Director of Transportation

SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 3883 WITH RL CONTROLS, LLC, TO EXTEND THE

COMPLETION DATE FOR THE BUS CAMERA SURVEILLANCE

SYSTEM PROJECT

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement No. 3883 with RL Controls, LLC to extend the completion date for the Bus Camera Surveillance System Project; and

2. Authorize the City Manager and/or his designee to execute Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 3883 on behalf of the City; and

3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Bus Camera Surveillance System Project (hereinafter, the “Project”) is funded using the following sources: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Grant CA-2019-033, Senate Bill – 1/State Transit Assistance (SB1/STA) funds for Fiscal Years 2017-18 and 2020-21, and the 2018 Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement and Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA) Grants. All necessary funding was previously appropriated, including contingency funds, and approved by the City Council when Agreement No. 3883 was awarded to RL Controls. Therefore, a budget amendment is not needed as part of the recommended action.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On April 28, 2021, the City awarded Agreement No. 3883 (Attachment “A”) with RL

Page 21 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 2 ends

Controls to provide a fully integrated and functional bus camera surveillance system for the Transportation Department (Transportation). The Project was developed to ensure that Transportation would have a turnkey bus camera surveillance system to increase video camera resolution, digital storage capabilities (13 months of video footage), and a cloud-based network infrastructure accessible to administrative personnel.

RL Controls designed and engineered a bus camera surveillance system to meet the City's needs with an estimated date of completion of March 15, 2023. In January 2022, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 3883 (Attachment “B”), to use contingency funds for the Server Project, a subproject of the original Project.

However, On May 9, 2023, RL Controls submitted a formal request to extend the Project completion date due to unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to, troubleshooting the existing Cloudian server system and configuration changes to the recording capability of the camera system. Transportation staff has reviewed the formal request and circumstances and has agreed to the proposed extended completion date, provided the City Council approves the proposed Amendment No. 2 presented here for consideration (Attachment “C").

Amendment No. 2 will exercise the option to extend the agreement for an additional seven (7) months; from March 15, 2023, to October 15, 2023—leaving all other provisions of the original Agreement in effect.

Subject: Project Completion Amendment
Dear Mr. Anderson,
Per conversation, please amend the contract completion date from March 15, 2023 to October 15, 2023. The reason for the delay in the schedule is a result of the following factors:
1) Front Camera Adjustments needing done on twenty-two buses per request of MBL. 2) Troubleshooting of existing Cloudian system being required. 3) Configuration changes needing to be made such as modifying recording times and lookback times.
4) Baseline Power Testing performed by RL Controls field team. 5) RL Controls field resources needing to recover videos directly off buses. 6) Potential change to scope needed to ensure consistent power.

RLC is committed to install and handover all sixty-six (66) buses on or before October 15, 2023. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,
David Kearns

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: Adrianna Kendricks, Director of Transportation

SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 23-32 APPROVING MONTEBELLO BUS LINES’ FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 AND 2024-2025 FREE FARE

SCHEDULE

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No 23-32 approving Montebello Bus Lines (MBL) Fiscal Year 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 Free Fare Schedule; and

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of the proposed Free Fare Schedule is most accurately calculated by averaging the average daily fare revenue for Fiscal Years 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022- 23 as follows:

Page 45 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 3 ends

By applying the fare revenue average for those three fiscal years to the nineteen (19) proposed Free Fare days, the total cost for MBL’s proposed Free Fare Schedule for FY 2023–24 is approximately $48,870 and for FY 2024-25 is approximately $57,830.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In FY 2020-21, MBL began collaborating with neighboring transit agencies to waive fares on designated days to honor holidays or raise awareness of important events (known as “Free-Fare Days”). The Free-Fare Days program waives fares on designated holidays and important events for all passengers, including passengers transferring from a participating neighboring agency to MBL. By participating in Free-Fare Days, MBL promotes environmental awareness by recognizing days that include Clean Air Day and Earth Day while providing exceptional service and rewards to loyal passengers.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A

ANALYSIS:

By continuing to provide Free-Fare Days, MBL will partner with other Los Angeles County transit partners, including the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority (“Metro”), to improve the customer experience while commemorating important holidays. By waiving fares on select days, MBL can promote various initiatives (Earth Day, California Clean Air Day, and Transit Equity Day), reward loyal ridership, and encourage new riders to use the agency’s services. For FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25, MBL will join other transit agencies in commemorating Transit Equity Day, a National Day of Action honoring civil rights leader Rosa Parks, who protested about ending segregated seating on public buses.

The proposed Free-Fare Days include:

• October 4, 2023 (Clean Air Day)
• November 7, 2023 (Municipal Election)
• November 23, 2023 (Thanksgiving)
• December 24, 2023 (Christmas Eve)
• December 25, 2023 (Christmas Day)
• December 31, 2023 (New Year’s Eve)
• January 1, 2024 (New Year’s Day)

• November 5, 2024 (General Election)
• November 28, 2024 (Thanksgiving)

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City of Montebello (the “City”), as a transit bus owner by and through Montebello Bus Lines provides transportation services to residents of Montebello and neighboring cities; and

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: Adrianna Kendricks, Director of Transportation

SUBJECT: APPROVE ISSUING A RESTROOM RENOVATION SERVICES REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) NO. 23-14

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve issuing a Restroom Renovation Services Request for Proposal, No. 23- 14 (RFP No. 23-14); and

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to issuing RFP No. 23-14 for Restroom Renovation Services Request (Attachment “A”). Once a contractor is selected for award, the City Council will be asked to consider approving a Professional Services Agreement and amend the City of Montebello Department of Transportation’s budget as necessary. Funding for this project will be allocated primarily from Transportation’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 operating budget: Transit Operating Budget – Outside Contracts.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City of Montebello, Montebello Bus Lines (MBL), is soliciting proposals from highly qualified contractors to provide restroom renovation services to the Operation Division at the Transportation Facility. The selected contractor will remove and replace existing fixtures, piping, and equipment, as well as associated components (e.g., urinals, toilets, sinks, drains, countertops, lighting, finishes, vents, bathroom exhaust fans, heating and cooling systems, etc.), with modern functional restroom equipment and supplies to serve the sanitary needs of the department.

Page 51 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 3 ends

The Operation Division has four (4) restrooms which were a part of the original Transit building constructed over 25 years ago. The restrooms have never undergone any renovations, are outdated, and in desperate need of equipment replacement and maintenance services. After a recent inspection, MBL staff concluded that there was significant water damage near the shower area of the restrooms. Due to the extent of the damage, it was recommended to completely rebuild all four restrooms in the Operation Division of MBL’s Transportation Facility.

MBL developed RFP No. 23-14, setting clear expectations and a detailed scope of work, to ensure that the selected contractor will assess the current conditions of each restroom’s layout, structure, stalls, equipment, piping and plumbing, lighting, etc., and design and install modern equipment and fixtures to increase efficiency while improving the ambiance of each room.

Once approved, the notice inviting proposals will be published using Planetbids.com, Masstransitmag.com, Transittalent.com, and the Wave Newspaper, beginning May 25, 2023. All bids will be submitted through the Planetbids.com platform. The due date for all proposals will be July 20, 2023. It is anticipated that a vendor will be selected in August with the award of a professional services agreement presented to the City Council for consideration shortly thereafter.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A

ANALYSIS:

Staff requests approval to issue RFP No. 23-14, to identify a contractor that will undertake the necessary restroom renovations for the agency. The contractor will provide the requested services outlined in RFP No. 23-14, over a six-month (6-month) period.

A selection process will be used to evaluate proposals based on various qualitative components, and award an agreement based on a combination of price and qualitative considerations. Qualitative considerations include a management plan, proposed project team, qualifications and experience, and technical approach.

The award selection will be based on a combination of qualitative and price factors to determine the proposal deemed most advantageous to the City.

EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
MBL uses a selection process in which proposals contain qualitative considerations. Qualitative considerations may include experience and qualifications, technical approach, quality of proposed personnel, and/or a project management plan. The award selecti on is based upon consideration of qualitative factors to determine the offer deemed most advantageous to MBL.

An Evaluation Committee will be appointed to review all proposals. The committee will be comprised of MBL staff. Committee members will initially evaluate each proposal using the pass or fail criteria identified herein. Proposers who pass this first stage of testing will progress to the next step in the evaluation.

MBL will evaluate the offers based on the following criteria: Pass/Fail Criteria • The Proposer has demonstrated the ability to meet the insurance requirements described in the Agreement. Proof of ability, for example, a sample certificate with another agency, or a statement

Page 68 of 354 ends

RFP No. 23-14

16 Montebello Bus Lines

that the proposer can meet the insurance requirements in the RFP shoul d be attached to the proposal.
• The proposer has demonstrated evidence of good standing. If the Proposer is a corporation or limited liability company, provide evidence that it is in good standing in the state of its incorporation/organization and qualified to do business in California. If the Proposer is a partnership or joint venture, provide such evidence for all partners or members. Evidence provided must be in the form of (i) an official certificate of good standing issued by the state of incorporation/organization and (ii) qualification to do business issued by the California Secretary of State. If the Proposer is operating under a fictitious name or trade name, provide evidence that the Proposer has filed for and/or registered the fictitious name with the county where the Proposer’s business is located.

On the completion of the initial Pass/Fail review, the committee will evaluate proposals using the two - step process. Qualitative considerations will be reviewed and scored first without attention to the price.

The committee will then open the cost and price proposals and evaluate and score them a ccordingly.

During the qualitative evaluation, the Evaluation Committee, at its sole discretion may contact any or all the Proposers with specific question s or requests for clarification. After both the qua litative and cost/price proposals have been evaluated and scored, the Evaluation Committee will arrive at a “comprehensive proposal score” for each proposal. A list of top -ranked proposals within a competitive range will be developed based upon the total comprehensive scores provided by the Evaluation Committee members. At this time, the Evaluation C ommittee may decide that the evaluation process is complete and submit a final recommendation to the Director of Transportation.

The Evaluation Committee may ask the Proposers to consider the dialog of negotiations and revise their proposals. A deadline will be set for the submission of the revised proposals. If a Proposer is unable to meet the deadline or chooses not to revise its proposal, its existing Proposal will be re-scored along with revised Proposals in the same manner as the original Proposals.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: James Enriquez, Director of Public Works

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF B-MAP – PHASE B1 FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 82725 FOR A PORTION OF VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 82725 IN

CONNECTION WITH THE MONTEBELLO HILLS SPECIFIC PLAN

PROJECT

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 23-33:

1. Finding that the approval of the B-Map – Phase B1 Final Tract Map No. 82725 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to (i) CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3) Ministerial Projects (approval of final subdivision maps), (ii) Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), and (iii) CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 and Government Code Section 65457, which expressly exempts residential projects undertaken to implement, and that are consistent with, an approved specific plan for which an EIR was certified after January 1, 1980 and none of the events under Public Resources Code Section 21166 have occurred; and

2. Approving the B-Map – Phase B1 Final Tract Map No. 82725 for a portion of Vesting Tentative Tract Map (“VTTM”) No. 82725 in connection with the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project; and

3. Authorizing the City Clerk, City Treasurer, and City Engineer to execute the Certificate on the map showing the City’s approval of B-Map -– Phase B1 Final Tract Map No. 82725 for a portion of VTTM No. 82725; and

4. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this particular action. Construction of, and the eventual sales of, these residential units will generate additional property tax. Future

Page 112 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 3 ends

budgets will include the positive revenue impacts once the units are built, appraised, placed on the County tax role and sold.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In 2015, the City of Montebello approved the Montebello Hills Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”) for the development of a master planned residential community on the Montebello Hills Property (“Project”). The Specific Plan is a comprehensive plan for the development of up to 1,200 residential dwelling units on approximately 174 acres of an overall larger area of approximately 488 acres. The Project consists of a combination of residential development, public and private parks, and 343 combined acres of open space, 263.2 acres of which will be dedicated as habitat reserve for the California Gnatcatcher (“Gnatcatcher”).

Following approval in 2015, opponents challenged the Project in court where the Project was litigated before the Superior Court and Courts of Appeal levels for nearly three (3) years. At each level, the courts found that the Project complied with CEQA, the Brown Act, and was consistent with the City’s General Plan and California Planning and Zoning Laws.

On July 10, 2019, the City of Montebello approved the Final “A” Map for Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 70420 (commonly referred to as an “A” level subdivision map or the “A- Map”) subdividing the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project area into 78 larger lots.

On November 10, 2021, the City approved the VTTM No. 82725, a “B” level subdivision map, subdividing 4 legal lots on portions of the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project Area into 199 legal lots to allow the development of 851 residential condominium dwelling units, consisting of 551 attached residential dwelling units and 300 detached single-family residential dwelling units, and related amenities (“B-Map - Phase B1 Final Map”). The subject site is located within Planning Areas 3, 4, and 5 as established in the Montebello Hills Specific Plan and the A-Map, which consisted of generally undisturbed vacant land within the City of Montebello. Final Tract Map No. 82725 is the final tract map for a portion of VTTM No. 82725 for the development of 133 detached single family residential dwelling units and 281 attached residential dwelling units for Phase “B1” of the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

An Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was certified for the Montebello Hills Project on June 10, 2015 pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines and local procedures for CEQA implementation. The approval of the B-Map – Phase B1 Final Tract Map No. 82725 is a ministerial action and is exempt under CEQA pursuant to the following:(i) CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3) Ministerial Projects (approval of final subdivision maps), (ii) Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), and (iii) Government Code Section 65457, which expressly exempts residential projects undertaken to implement, and that are consistent with, an approved specific plan for which an EIR was certified

Page 113 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 3 of 3 ends

after January 1, 1980 and none of the events under Public Resources Code Section 21166 have occurred.

Upon approval of this Final Map by the City Council, a Notice of Exemption will be filed with the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office.

ANALYSIS:

Consistent with the previously approved VTTM No. 82725, the B-Map - Phase B1 Final Tract Map No. 82725 for the Project is being submitted for approval. The B-Map - Phase B1 Final Tract Map No. 82725 is in substantial conformance to the approved VTTM No. 82725.

This B-Map - Phase B Final Tract Map has been examined and checked for compliance with Title 16 of the Montebello Municipal Code and the California Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code [“Gov. Code”] Section 66410, et seq.). Under the Subdivision Map Act, the approval of a final subdivision map is ministerial in nature and “shall be disapproved only for failure to meet or perform requirements or conditions which were applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map” (Gov. Code § 66473) and a “legislative body shall not deny approval of a final or parcel map if it has previously approved a tentative map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the final or parcel map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map.” ((Gov.

Code § 66474.1). The City Engineer has reviewed and determined that the B-Map - Phase B Final Tract Map substantially complies with all conditions and requirements of the previously approved VTTM No. 82725, the Specific Plan, and EIR. In addition, the City’s Director of Planning and Community Development has also determined that the B- Map - Phase B1 Final Tract Map is in substantial conformance with the Specific Plan and the above-referenced approvals.

SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approval of the B-Map - Phase B1 Final Tract Map for VTTM No. 82725 for the development of 300 detached single family residential dwelling units and 551 attached residential dwelling condominium units for Phase “B” of the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: James Enriquez, Director of Public Works

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 82727 FOR A PORTION OF VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 70420 FOR PUBLIC OPEN

SPACE CONVEYANCE IN CONNECTION WITH THE MONTEBELLO

HILLS SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Finding that the approval of the Final Tract Map No. 82727 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to (i) CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3) Ministerial Projects (approval of final subdivision maps), (ii) Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), and (iii) CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 and Government Code Section 65457, which expressly exempts residential projects undertaken to implement, and that are consistent with, an approved specific plan for which an EIR was certified after January 1, 1980, and none of the events under Public Resources Code Section 21166 have occurred; and

2. Approving the Final Tract Map No. 82727 for a portion of Vesting Tentative Tract Map (“VTTM”) No. 70420 in connection with the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project; and

3. Authorizing the City Clerk, City Treasurer, and City Engineer to execute the Certificate on the map showing the City’s approval of the Final Tract Map No. 82727; and

4. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this particular action. This action complies with a condition of approval requiring open space for the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project. Construction of, and the eventual sales of, these residential units will generate

Page 138 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 3 ends

additional property tax. Future budgets will include the positive revenue impacts once the units are built and sold.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In 2015, the City of Montebello (“City”) approved the Final “A” Map for Vesting Tentative Tract Map (“VTTM”) No. 70420 subdividing the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project area into 78 larger lots. Per the requirements of United States Fish & Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) and the Montebello Hills Project Specific Plan, VTTM No. 70420 (approved on July 10, 2019) was established for the Habitat Reserve area originally comprised of 27 lots totaling approximately 246.76 acres along with the establishment of an endowment fund to pay for the management and maintenance of the Habitat Reserve in perpetuity. No development is permitted in the Habitat Reserve. The Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project approved the development of up to 1,200 residential units, public parks, hiking trails, and other related amenities (the “Montebello Hills Project”). As part of the Montebello Hills Project entitlements, the project was required to dedicate habitat land for the perseveration of habitat for the California Gnatcatcher measuring approximately 246 acres (“Habitat Reserve”). Recently, Toll Brothers (“Toll”) informed the City that the USFWS has inquired as to the status regarding the Habitat Reserve.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

An Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was certified for the Montebello Hills Project on June 10, 2015 pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines and local procedures for CEQA implementation. The approval of the Final Tract Map No. 82727 is a ministerial action and is exempt under CEQA pursuant to the following:(i) CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3) Ministerial Projects (approval of final subdivision maps), (ii) Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), and (iii) Government Code Section 65457, which expressly exempts residential projects undertaken to implement, and that are consistent with, an approved specific plan for which an EIR was certified after January 1, 1980 and none of the events under Public Resources Code Section 21166 have occurred.

Upon approval of this Final Map by the City Council, a Notice of Exemption will be filed with the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office.

ANALYSIS:

Toll Brothers propose Final Tract Map No. 82727 for the Habitat Reserve area to satisfy USFWS requests to keep the total acreage of the first phase conservation easement and the second phase conservation easement the same as compared to the Biological Opinion issued by USFW on December 10, 2020. Final Tract Map No. 82727 is in substantial conformance with VTTM No. 70420 as it relates to the Habitat Reserve area.

As noted in the conveyance map for Final Tract Map No. 82727, the total number of lots remain the same and the total acreage associated with those lots does not change. The total number of lots associated with Final Tract Map No. 82727 will continue to be 27 lots totaling approximately 246.76 acres as demonstrated in the substantial conformance exhibit for the open space contained in the conveyance map. This is consistent with

Page 139 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 3 of 3 ends

VTTM No. 70420, which was approved on July 10, 2019. The table contained in Final Tract Map No. 82727 is intended to show the adjustment to existing lot lines from the prior map. These are all open space lots and do not have any rights for building residential units as any residential uses are prohibited in the Habitat Reserve. The proposed changes to lot lines are made to satisfy USFWS requests to keep the total acreage of the first phase conservation easement and the second phase conservation easement the same as compared with the above-referenced Biological Opinion. In addition, the realigned lots would reduce the acreage of the areas with oil operations to a minimum which is also part of the open space conservation area.

The City’s approval of Final Tract Map No. 82727 is the first step in creating the Habitat Reserve required by USFWS. Once the Final Tract Map No. 82727 is approved by the City, it will be recorded with the County and thereby allowing the conveyance of the open space to a land manager and creation of the Habitat Reserve by way of a conservation easement preserving the land in perpetuity as required by USFWS.

SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approval of the Final Tract Map No. 82727 for open space conveyance in connection with the Montebello Hills Specific Plan Project.

Rita Montalvo, PE
Assistant Public Works Director
City of Montebello
1600 W Beverly Boulevard
Montebello, CA 90640
RE: Paving The Way Program (Montebello Blvd from Los Angeles Avenue to Lincoln Avenue)
Dear Rita:

We are pleased to submit our scope of services and fee proposal to provide engineering services for the Paving The Way Program Project for Montebello Boulevard from Los Angeles Avenue to Lincoln Avenue. The following scope, fee and schedule are based upon the review of the 90% construction plans prepared by Infrastructure Engineers, topographic survey exhibits prepared by OnPoint Land Surveying, geotechnical report prepared by P.A. & Associates, and proposed median exhibits prepared by the City.

Mark Thomas will assume the responsibility and associated liability for stamping and signing of the project plans, thus requiring due diligence in ensuring the intent and accuracy of the previously prepared plans. With the lack of CAD files, we will rebuild the plan set, using the prior design as the starting point. Our team will conduct a field review to verify all field elements and site conditions are adequately represented on the plans. Additionally, we will prepare the necessary details of the curb ramps to facilitate construction and reduce contractor change orders.

The raised landscaped median is a new element to the proposed project that significantly impacts the existing plans as prepared. The project plan preparation will be altered to include the median layout and top of median curb profiles. Additionally, supplemental survey will be required.

Scope of Work

1. Design Development

1.1 Project Management
Project Administration
We will perform project administration. The tasks will include documentation, meeting management, budget tracking, scheduling, project task tracking, etc. to help the project stay on track.

Meetings (4)
A kickoff meeting will be held with the appropriate team members to establish the key contacts, design directives protocol, discuss issues, confirm objectives and schedule of deliverables.

Page 183 of 354 ends

PAGE 2 OF 4
Preliminary design (35% Design), 90% design, and final design comment review meetings will be held with the appropriate team members to review city comments, discuss design issues, and develop the project’s PS&E.

1.2 Research and Investigation
Site Investigation
We will field walk site and inventory existing asphalt concrete condition, severe distress and deteriorated asphalt concrete areas, ADA and non-ADA curb ramps, broken concrete (curb, gutter, sidewalk, and driveway), visible utility, topography, drainage, and other notable features to consider in engineering design. Additionally, We will generate field notes and photograph log of the field walk.

Research and Obtain Record Maps and As-builts
We will obtain available research and as-builts from the City including R/W maps, roadway plans, utility plans, signing and striping plans, etc.

1.3 Project Survey
Topographic Survey Review
We will review the topographic survey, survey base map and data provided by the City’s hired consultant, OnPoint Land Surveying Inc. (On Point), and compare the survey data with the collected data from our field investigation.

Supplemental Design Survey
OnPoint will perform a topographic survey on the painted lane lines at 25’ intervals and shots on pavement adjacent to the proposed raised medians. OnPoint will also perform supplement survey at curb returns to facilitate curb ramp design and/or reflect a new ramp built after the original topo. On Point will provide updated topographic survey in AutoCAD format and updated project-wide DTM.

1.4 Utility Coordination
We will verify all utility owners and contacts within the project limits using Underground Search Alert. We will generate Introductory Letters/Records Requests, Utility Letter A, on City letterhead and request utility as-builts. Follow-ups with each utility owners will occur to verify the existence of any utilities and to secure available records and as-built information. We will prepare a utility base map by adding the verified utilities from the records and as-builts.

We will prepare and send Utility B and C letters to utility owners. Utility B letter will be the Relocation Claim Letter with Utility Conflict Sheets after the 35% submittal. Utility C letter will be the Notice to Owners Letters after the 90% submittal to appropriate utility owners.

Coordination will include preparation of a Utility Matrix that will capture all utility owner contact information and document correspondence/communication with utility owners throughout the project duration.

ITEM # 21

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager

BY: James Enriquez, Director of Public Works

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 ANNUAL PLAN FOR THE

LOS ANGELES REGION MEASURE W (SAFE, CLEAN WATER

PROGRAM) EXPENDITURES

DATE: May 24, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Annual Plan for Los Angeles Region Measure W (Attachment A) that programs expenditures for the fiscal year; and

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Safe, Clean Water Program (SCWP) is estimated to generate up to $112.54 million in annual revenue for the entire County. The FY 2022-23 local return allocation for Montebello is estimated at approximately $930,084. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Plan provides an expenditure plan for this allotment.

The $930,084 in revenue will be recorded in Account No. 229-99-3630.70 (Special Revenue Measure W). The $930,084 in expenses will be recorded in Account No. 229- 30-315- 6040.10 (Outside Contracts). Subsequent budgets will include the anticipated revenue and planned expenditures in Fund 229.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On November 6, 2018, Los Angeles County voters successfully passed Measure W.

Measure W established a parcel tax to fund projects and programs throughout the County to improve the quality of storm water runoff. The first annual parcel tax was collected on the tax bills for Fiscal Year 2019-20.

Page 199 of 354 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 24, 2023

Page 2 of 3 ends

Following the tax collection, SCWP revenues will be allocated as follows: 1) Ten percent (10%) to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD); 2) Forty percent (40%) to the municipalities within the District; and 3) Fifty percent (50%) to the nine watershed areas to fund regional watershed-based multi-benefit projects to be implemented by project developers, and to provide technical resources, and conduct scientific studies.

The transfer agreement (“Agreement”) for the Municipal Program required by the LACFCD in order to disburse funds to the municipalities on an annual basis was approved by the City Council on August 26, 2020. The Agreement for the Municipal Program will expire every four years, and funds received are to be used for implementation, operations and maintenance, and administration of eligible storm water quality improvement projects and programs as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement requires submittal of an Annual Plan that lists and describes the projects and programs the City plans to fund each year using Measure W funds.

On February 26, 2020, the City Council approved a Partnership Agreement with Los Angeles County for the East Los Angeles Sustainable Median Stormwater Capture Project. Construction of this $33.3 million project is complete. The City’s original contribution was $5,080,000; however, this contribution has been reduced to $4,532,423 as a result of the reconciliation of final project expenditures and available grant funding.

The City will also contribute annually for the operation and maintenance once the amount is determined.

Both the construction payments and the annual maintenance cost will be programmed from the Measure W fund and, therefore, will not impact the General Fund. The payment schedule per the terms of the agreement is as follows:

Invoice No. Amount Payment Date
1 $700,000 Paid, June 10, 2021
2 $800,000 Paid, June 9, 2022
3 $758,106 12/30/2022
4 $758,106 12/30/2023
5 $758,106 12/30/2024
6 $758,106 12/30/2025
Total: $ 4,532,424

The Annual Plan Program for FY 2022-23 includes the continued contribution to the East Los Angeles Sustainable Median Stormwater Capture Project in the amount of $758,106.

The balance of the annual funds is programmed for administrative programs, operation and maintenance activities related to regulatory compliance.
