142
People with Disabilities: Individuals with disabilities may rely on power for mobility devices, communication aids, or medical equipment, making them particularly susceptible to the impacts of outages. Inaccessible emergency shelters or information systems can further increase th eir vulnerability.
Minority Communities: Language barriers can limit access to information and resources for minority populations during power outages.
Unhoused: There are no specific impacts from power outages on unhoused people.
143
4.3.7 Cyberattack/IT Disruption
4.3.7.1 Overall Vulnerability and Impact
The City of Montebello, like governments throughout the country, are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Cyberattacks can impact local government, services, and businesses in a variety of ways, depending on the type and severity of the attack.
Laptops generally have 4 -5 hours of power capacity, so in the event of a power outage, they could quickly run down without available power sources. And without an operating network to log in to, their utility would be seriously compromised. This becomes an issue in the case of another pandemic or other situation requiring widespread remote work as during the beginning of the COVID -19 pandemic – ensuring operation of the network will be key to ensuring the continued functioning of the City.
4.3.7.2 Population
The general population may be subject to cyberattack through attacks on other institutions or individual responses to phishing or other online scams. In addition, certain populations such as the elderly, disabled, and unhoused people may be more vulnerable to the impacts of cyberattacks on local government and services. For example, if emergency services or public utilities are disrupted, these populations may have a more difficult time accessing the resources they need to stay safe and healthy.
4.3.7.3 Critical Facilities
Every facility today is to some degree supported by IT technology, from access systems to the power grid. Beyond specific critical facilities, other elements of infrastructure could be affected, from traffic lights to modern electric vehicles.
Local Government:
• Emergency Services: Cyberattacks can disrupt emergency services such as 911 systems, which can prevent people from getting the help they need in a timely manner. • Public Utilities: Cyberattacks can target public utilities such as water and power systems, potentially causing widespread outages and other disruptions. • Transportation Networks: Cyberattacks can target transportation networks such as traffic signals and public transit systems, causing delays and safety hazards. • Public Records: Cyberattacks can compromise public records such as birth certificates, social security numbers, and other sensitive information.
144
Services:
• Financial Services: Cyberattacks can target financial institutions such as banks and credit unions, potentially compromising sensitive financial data and disrupting financial transactions.
• Healthcare: Cyberattacks can compromise healthcare systems, putting patient data and even lives at risk.
4.3.7.4 Non-Critical Facilities
Virtually all non-critical facilities are vulnerable to cyberattack, although to lesser degrees.
Businesses:
• Intellectual Property: Cyberattacks can target businesses' intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, and other sensitive information. • Financial Information: Cyberattacks can compromise businesses' financial data, potentially leading to financial losses and reputational damage. • Supply Chain Disruptions: Cyberattacks can disrupt businesses' supply chains, causing delays and financial losses.
4.3.7.5 Environment
Cyberattack has no direct impact on the environment. Shutdowns of certain systems may cause events that have impacts on the environment, however.
4.3.7.6 Changes in Development Since Last Approved Plan
Development: There have been no significant changes in development since the last approved plan. However, as networked systems and new forms of information technology such as artificial intelligence become more common, the City’s vulnerability to cyberattack will only grow.
Vulnerability to cyberattack has increased since the last approved plan.
Land Use: There have been no significant changes in land use since the last approved plan.
Vulnerability to cyberattack has remained the same since the last approved plan.
Population shifts: Population has increased but not significantly so since the last approved plan.
Cyberattacks have also become more sophisticated and widespread in the past several years Therefore, overall population vulnerability to cyberattack has increased since the last approved plan.
145
4.3.7.7 Impacts on Vulnerable Populations
Low-Income Residents: Low-income individuals may face difficulties during IT disruptions due to limited access to reliable internet or alternative communication channels.
Elderly Individuals: Elderly populations are particularly vulnerable as they often depend on digitally managed healthcare services. Cyberattacks on these systems can delay access to critical medical care or disrupt emergency response services.
People with Disabilities : Individuals with disabilities who rely on assistive technologies and connected devices are significantly affected by IT disruptions. Cyberattacks on emergency or medical systems can hinder their ability to receive necessary services.
Minority Communities: There are no specific impacts from cyberattack or IT disruption on minority communities.
Unhoused: There are no specific impacts from cyberattack or IT disruption on unhoused people.
146
4.3.8 Floods
4.3.8.1 Overall Vulnerability and Impact
High density and associated impervious surfaces can impede natural water absorption and increase runoff during heavy rain events, potentially leading to localized flooding. The City's terrain includes hilly and sloped areas in its north, which can contribute to runoff during heavy rains. The Rio Hondo riverbed during prolonged and severe precipitation events could be an issue as well.
4.3.8.2 Population
Impact on population is limited mostly to development in proximity to the Rio Hondo River. The potential for harm to any unhoused persons camping in the Rio Hondo riverbed could be higher, however.
4.3.8.3 Critical Facilities
No specific critical facilities in the City of Montebello stand out for their greater vulnerability to flooding. However, during heavy rain events, stormwater can quickly overwhelm the capacity of storm drains, leading to flooding in streets and neighborhoods and potentially impacting critical facilities in the vicinity. This excess water can also flow into the sewer system, causing it to become overloaded and leading to backups and overflows in other areas.
In addition, stormwater runoff can carry pollutants, such as debris, trash, chemicals, and sediment, into the sewer system. These pollutants can cause blockages and damage to pipes and equipment, as well as pose a risk to human health and the environment.
4.3.8.4 Non-Critical Facilities.
No specific categories of n on-critical facilities stand out in the City of Montebello for their vulnerability to flooding. Flooding can cause damage to structures, utilities, transportation routes, and communication resulting in loss of revenue and ability to provide emergency, essential, and non-essential services.
As described above, flash flooding after extreme events may impact both critical and non-critical facilities. Roads may act as channels for floodwaters, making crossing roads hazardous and damaging or even washing away vehicles.
The extent and nature of property damage from floods depend on the velocity and depth of floodwaters. Basement flooding and soil saturation from flood events can lead to significant
147
damage. Most flood damage occurs from water penetrating materials that are vulnerable to loss, such as wood, insulation, wallboard, fabric, furnishings, floor coverings, and appliances.
In some cases, flood damage can make homes unlivable.
4.3.8.5 Environment
Any sustained flood ing event is likely to impact the City’s natural environment by potentially putting stress on aging trees and vegetation.
4.3.8.6 Changes in Development Since Last Approved Plan
Development: There have been no significant changes in development since the last approved plan. However, as the intensity of extreme rain events increases due to climate change, the risk of anomalous events impacting the City of Montebello is growing. Therefore, vulnerability to flooding has increased since the last approved plan.
Land Use: There have been no significant changes in land use since the last approved plan.
However, as the intensity of extreme rain events increases due to climate change, the risk of anomalous events impacting the City of Montebello is growing. Therefore, vulnerability to flooding has increased since the last approved plan.
Population shifts: Population has increased but not significantly so since the last approved plan.

4.3.8.7 Impacts on Vulnerable Populations
Low-Income Residents: Limited financial resources may constrain their ability to recover or relocate after flood events.
Elderly Individuals : Older adults are particularly vulnerable during floods due to mobility challenges, which may impede their ability to evacuate to safer locations.
People with Disabilities: Individuals with disabilities are affected by flooding due to challenges in evacuation, access to accessible shelters, and disruptions to specialized services.
Minority Communities: Minority populations may experience reduced access to emergency information and resources relating to floods.
Unhoused: Unhoused populations are at risk during floods as they lack permanent shelter and are directly exposed to floodwaters and hazardous conditions.
148
4.3.9 Dam Failure
4.3.9.1 Overall Vulnerability and Impact
Failure of the Whittier Narrows Dam could lead to catastrophic flooding, impacting densely populated areas downstream. The impact would be severe, causing extensive property damage, economic losses, potential casualties, and long-term environmental damage.
4.3.9.2 Population
The population at risk includes residents of the communities located downstream of Whittier Narrows Dam and Garvey Reservoir including Montebello. These areas are densely populated, and a dam failure could directly affect a large number of households.
4.3.9.3 Critical Facilities
While there may be no specific identified critical facilities at risk, the failure of a dam could severely disrupt essential services, complicating rescue operations and causing long -term outages in utilities, water supply, and emergency medical services.
4.3.9.4 Non-Critical Facilities
Non-critical facilities could suffer severe damage or destruction, leading to long-term economic impacts and displacement of residents and businesses.
4.3.9.5 Environment
The environmental impact of a dam failure would be substantial, including severe erosion, habitat destruction, and water contamination. Floodwaters could carry debris, chemicals, and sewage downstream, leading to long -term damage to aquatic ecosystems and a loss of biodiversity in affected areas.
4.3.9.6 Changes in Development Since Last Approved Plan
Development: There have been no significant changes in development since the last approved plan. Vulnerability to dam failure from development has remained the same since the last approved plan.
Land Use: There have been no significant changes in land use since the last approved plan.
Vulnerability to dam failure from land use has remained the same since the last approved plan.
149
Population shifts: Population has decreased but not significantly so since the last approved plan. Overall population vulnerability to dam failure from population shifts has remained the same since the last approved plan.
4.3.9.7 Impacts on Vulnerable Populations
Low-Income Residents: Limited financial resources hinder the ability of low-income residents to relocate or rebuild in the aftermath.
Elderly Individuals: Elderly residents are at risk during a dam failure event due to potential mobility issues that can delay evacuation. Additionally, disruptions to infrastructure may cut off access to critical healthcare services.
People with Disabilities : Individuals with disabilities face heightened vulnerabilities in the event of dam failure, as evacuation procedures and emergency shelter facilities may not be adequately accessible.
Minority Communities: Language barriers may complicate communication during evacuation and recovery efforts.
Unhoused: The unhoused population is at risk during dam failures due to a lack of permanent shelter and immediate exposure to flooding.
150
4.3.10 Terrorism/Armed Assailant and Civil Unrest
4.3.10.1 Overall Vulnerability and Impact
Terrorism, whether from an organized group or from a lone active assailant, is a constant shadow over many aspects of life in the United States. These kind of events can be carried out not only with guns but with explosive devices or sabotage of infrastructure such as attacks on electrical transformers or attempts to poison water supplies.
Civil unrest occurs at various times in communities and happens at a broader scale. Civil unrest generally lacks a component of deliberate planning for malicious intent. This can make it harder to plan for than intentional violent actors.
4.3.10.2 Population
Overall population vulnerability is difficult to ascertain. The entire population is vulnerable to larger-scale attacks or disruptions from civil unrest.
4.3.10.3 Critical Facilities
Critical infrastructure, such as power plants, water treatment facilities, and communication systems, are essential to the functioning of the City. An attack on these facilities could disrupt vital services and cause significant damage to the City’s infras tructure. Civil unrest does not pose a significant threat to these facilities.
4.3.10.4 Non-Critical Facilities
Businesses are vulnerable both to terrorism and civil unrest. Public spaces, such as parks, shopping districts, and public transportation hubs, are potential targets for terrorist attacks. For example, an attack on a crowded public space could cause mass casualties and widespread panic. Civil unrest may sometimes result in participants peripherally damaging property or deliberately engaging in property destruction as a tactic.
4.3.10.5 Environment
The natural environment itself is not a major target of potential terrorist, active assailant, or civil unrest-related incidents in the City of Montebello. Terrorist attacks may have environmental impacts based on the target.
151
4.3.10.6 Changes in Development Since Last Approved Plan
Development: There have been no significant changes in development since the last approved plan. However, the political climate in the United States has fostered an increase in armed groups and individuals motivated by ideology that are capable of violenc e. The political and socioeconomic climate in the United States has also grown more tense in many places Therefore, vulnerability to terrorism and civil unrest due to development has increased since the last approved plan.
Land Use: There have been no significant changes in land use since the last approved plan.
Vulnerability to terrorism and civil unrest has remained the same since the last approved plan.
Population shifts: Population has decreased but not significantly so since the last approved plan. Therefore, vulnerability to terrorism and civil unrest due to population shifts has decreased since the last approved plan.
4.3.10.7 Impacts on Vulnerable Populations
Low-Income Residents : Low -income individuals may experience heightened vulnerability during incidents of terrorism or civil unrest due to limited access to reliable information, transportation for evacuation, or secure housing. Recovery can also be slower due to financial constraints.
Elderly Individuals: The elderly population may struggle with timely evacuation or sheltering during acts of terrorism or civil unrest. Their reliance on healthcare services, which could be disrupted, further exacerbates their vulnerability.
People with Disabilities : Individuals with disabilities face barriers in evacuating safely or accessing emergency resources during such events. Communication challenges and inaccessible shelters may further hinder their ability to stay safe and recover.
Minority Communities: Minority populations may be disproportionately targeted or impacted by acts of terrorism, especially those motivated by bias or hate. Language barriers can also delay access to emergency resources and information.
Unhoused: The unhoused population is particularly at risk as they lack access to secure locations or resources to protect themselves during incidents of terrorism or civil unrest. Their visibility in public spaces can increase their exposure to harm during such events. .
152
4.3.11 Infectious Disease
4.3.11.1 Overall Vulnerability and Impact
The City of Montebello is vulnerable to infectious disease. The vulnerability of a specific population to epidemic or pandemic is affected by several variables, including virus type, affected demographics, and environmental factors such as seasonality and individual medical conditions. While the Spanish Flu of 1920 impacted largely healthy young people, the COVID- 19 pandemic was most impactful for elderly individuals, with morbidity and mortality rates highest among those aged 65 and older, particularly those 85 and older.
4.3.11.2 Population
The entire population of the City of Montebello is vulnerable to infectious disease . Most diseases impact certain segments of the population more than others; COVID -19 disproportionally affected the elderly and others with existing co-morbidities. Future pandemics may impact different population sectors.
4.3.11.3 Critical Facilities
As infectious disease impacts humans directly, it does not directly impact critical physical infrastructure. It would, however, impact staffing and human systems that support the physical infrastructure of the City. The City’s recent experience of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic revealed both strengths and vulnerabilities that could be considered in future pandemic planning.
4.3.11.4 Non-Critical Facilities
Infectious disease does not directly impact non-critical physical infrastructure. Businesses and other entities may be impacted, however, due to closures and other mitigation measures. The economy can be Impacted by infectious disease outbreaks through measures such as limiting travel and public events, and closing non -essential businesses, creating a high demand for healthcare resources.
4.3.11.5 Environment
Infectious disease impacting humans does not directly impact the natural environment. Some diseases originating in animals may impact humans under the right conditions.
153
4.3.11.6 Changes in Development Since Last Approved Plan
Development: There have been no significant changes in development since the last approved plan. Vulnerability to infectious disease from development has remained the same since the last approved plan.
Land Use: There have been no significant changes in land use since the last approved plan.
Vulnerability to infectious disease from land use has remained the same since the last approved plan.
Population shifts: Population has increased but not significantly so since the last approved plan.
Overall population vulnerability to infectious disease from population shifts has remained the same since the last approved plan.
4.3.11.7 Impacts on Vulnerable Populations
Low-Income Residents : Low -income populations are at increased risk during infectious disease outbreaks due to limited access to healthcare services, higher likelihood of residing in crowded living conditions, and barriers to preventive care such as vaccinations.
Elderly Individuals: Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to infectious diseases, with higher morbidity and mortality rates as seen during the COVID -19 pandemic. Limited mobility and reliance on medical care can exacerbate risks during outbreaks.
People with Disabilities : Those with disabilities may face challenges in accessing timely medical care or critical resources during infectious disease outbreaks. Dependence on specialized services, which can be disrupted, increases their vulnerability.
Minority Communities : Systemic inequities in healthcare access and potential language barriers place minority communities at greater risk during infectious disease outbreaks.
Unhoused: Unhoused populations are at high risk during infectious disease events due to lack of access to sanitation, shelter, and medical facilities. Close living conditions in temporary shelters can further exacerbate transmission risks.

ANGELES
COUNTY
6/28/74 6/18/87 (NSFHA) 6/18/87 No
The City of Montebello currently participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. Created by Congress in 1968, the NFIP makes flood insurance available in communities that enact minimum floodplain management rules consistent with the Code of Federal Regulations §60.3.
Flood zones are geographic areas that the FEMA has defined according to varying levels of flood risk. These zones are depicted on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Flood Hazard Boundary Map. Each zone reflects the severity or type of flooding in the area.
The built areas of the City are in “Flood Zone X” and “Flood Zone D”. Zone X is defined as the area outside the 500-year flood and protected by levee from 100-year flood. Zone D is defined as areas in which flood hazards are undetermined (no analysis of flood hazards has been conducted), but possible.
According to FEMA, the City of Montebello is designated a No Special Flood Hazard Area (NSFHA). A Non-Special Flood Hazard Area (NSFHA) is an area that is in a moderate- to low- risk flood zone (Zones B, C, X Pre- and Post-FIRM). An NSFHA is not in any immediate danger from flooding caused by overflowing rivers or hard rains. However, it’s important to note that structures within a NSFHA are still at risk. In fact, over 20- percent of all flood insurance claims come from areas outside of mapped high-risk flood zones.
Moderate to Low Risk Areas
In communities that participate in the NFIP, flood insurance is available to all property owners and renters in these zones:
155
ZONE DESCRIPTION
B and X
(shaded)
Area of moderate flood hazard, usually the area between the limits of the 100- year and 500-year floods. B Zones are also used to designate base floodplains of lesser hazards, such as areas protected by levees from 100-year flood, or shallow flooding areas with average depths of less than one foot or drainage areas less than 1 square mile.
C and X
(unshaded)
Area of minimal flood hazard, usually depicted on FIRMs as above the 500- year flood level. Zone C may have ponding and local drainage problems that don't warrant a detailed study or designation as base floodplain. Zone X is the area determined to be outside the 500 -year flood and protected by levee from 100-year flood.
High Risk Areas
In communities that participate in the NFIP, mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply to all of these zones:
ZONE DESCRIPTION
A
Areas with a 1% annual chance of flooding and a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30 -year mortgage. Because detailed analyses are not performed for such areas; no depths or base flood elevations are shown within these zones.
AE The base floodplain where base flood elevations are provided. AE Zones are now used on new format FIRMs instead of A1-A30 Zones.
A1-30 These are known as numbered A Zones (e.g., A7 or A14). This is the base floodplain where the FIRM shows a BFE (old format).
AH
Areas with a 1% annual chance of shallow flooding, usually in the form of a pond, with an average depth ranging from 1 to 3 feet. These areas have a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30 -year mortgage. Base flood elevations derived from detailed analyses are shown at selected intervals within these zones.
AO
River or stream flood hazard areas, and areas with a 1% or greater chance of shallow flooding each year, usually in the form of sheet flow, with an average depth ranging from 1 to 3 feet. These areas have a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage. Average flood depths derived from detailed analyses are shown within these zones.
156
ZONE DESCRIPTION
AR
Areas with a temporarily increased flood risk due to the building or restoration of a flood control system (such as a levee or a dam). Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements will apply, but rates will not exceed the rates for unnumbered A zones if the structure is built or restored in compliance with Zone AR floodplain management regulations.
A99
Areas with a 1% annual chance of flooding that will be protected by a Federal flood control system where construction has reached specified legal requirements. No depths or base flood elevations are shown within these zones.
Undetermined Risk Areas
ZONE DESCRIPTION
D
Areas with possible but undetermined flood hazards. No flood hazard analysis has been conducted. Flood insurance rates are commensurate with the uncertainty of the flood risk.
• Adoption of NFIP minimum floodplain management criteria via local regulation.
No portions of Montebello lie within a federally designated mandatory flood insurance zone.
• Adoption of the latest effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The City of Montebello adopted the latest effective Flood Insurance Rate Map on September 26, 2008.
• Implementation and enforcement of local floodplain management regulations to regulate and permit development in SFHA’s. The City of Montebello’s Planning Manager is responsible for enforcement of local floodplain regulations in the portions of the City within zones A and AE.
• Appointment of a designee or agency to implement the addressed commitments and requirements of the NFIP. The City of Montebello’s Planning Manager is responsible for implementing the addressed commitments and requirements of the NFIP.
• Description of how participants implement the substantial improvement/substantial damage provisions of their floodplain management regulations after an event. The City of Montebello’s Planning Manager will implement all applicable provisions after a flood event. Chapter 15.40, Flood Damage

Prevention
(https://library.municode.com/ca/montebello/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT 15BUCO_CH15.40FLDAPR_15.40.020FI) details Montebello’s specific floodplain management regulations.
Repetitive Loss Properties (RLPs) are most susceptible to flood damages; therefore, they have been the focus of flood hazard mitigation programs. Unlike a Countywide program, the Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) for repetitive loss properties involves high ly diversified property profiles, drainage issues, and property owner’s interest. It also requires public involvement processes unique to each RLP area. The objective of an FMP is to provide specific potential mitigation measures and activities to best add ress the problems and needs of communities with repetitive loss properties. A repetitive loss property is one for which two or more claims of $1,000 or more have been paid by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) within any given ten-year period.
There are no repetitive loss properties within the boundaries of the City of Montebello.
158
SECTION 5 – CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
Element C: Mitigation Strategy Requirements
C1. Does the plan document each jurisdiction’s existing authorities, policies, programs and resources and its ability to expand on and improve these existing policies and programs? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3))
C2. Does the plan address each jurisdiction’s participation in the NFIP and continued compliance with NFIP requirements, as appropriate? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(ii))
A capability assessment is an in-depth look at community mechanisms (such as plans, codes, ordinances, staffing, etc.) in place to support proposed mitigation activities. Performing the capability assessment helps communities identify regulatory, administr ative, technical, and fiscal capacities and capabilities, and to consider ways that these tools can be used to further hazard mitigation and disaster resiliency goals.
5.1 Planning and Regulatory Capabilities
The Planning & Community Development Department plays a crucial role in shaping the city's growth, development, and overall community well-being. The department oversees several key areas, including the Planning Division, Economic Development Division, Housing Division, and Code Enforcement Division. Each of these divisions is integral to ensuring that Montebello remains a vibrant and livable city, balancing the need for development with the preservation of the community’s character and resources. The depar tment's responsibilities range from implementing the city's General Plan and Zoning Code to managing economic initiatives that stimulate local businesses and support job creation.
The Housing Division within the department is particularly focused on providing affordable housing solutions, ensuring that low and moderate -income residents have access to safe and adequate housing. This includes the management of Community Development Bl ock Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships programs, which fund various housing and community improvement projects. The department also handles building safety, code enforcement, and parking enforcement, ensuring that the city’s buildings and infras tructure meet safety standards and that community standards are maintained through regular inspections and enforcement actions.
159
The Fire Department is also involved in efforts to enhance the city's resilience to natural disasters. This includes integrating hazard mitigation strategies into the General Plan and other long-term planning documents. The department also collaborates with other city departments, such as Public Works, to ensure that infrastructure improvements align with disaster preparedness goals.

5.2 Technical and Fiscal Capabilities
The City of Montebello’s Finance Department is integral to managing the city's financial health, overseeing various functions such as budgeting, revenue collection, and financial reporting.
The department handles major revenue streams including property ta xes, sales taxes, and utility user taxes, which are essential for funding city services and projects. Additionally, the Finance Department is responsible for accounts payable, payroll, purchasing, and managing the city's investment portfolio.
From a fiscal perspective, Montebello’s ability to finance mitigation options is supported by its taxation authority and access to funding through grants and bonds. The city can leverage its revenue streams, such as property taxes and special assessments, t o fund climate -related projects. Additionally, Montebello can apply for state and federal grants aimed at disaster resilience and environmental sustainability, providing further financial resources for mitigation efforts.
The City of Montebello can apply for funding under FEMA programs such as the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) or the Building Resilient Infrastructure in Communities (BRIC) program. Another potential source of funding for hazard mitigation projects is through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program provides funding to local communities for a variety of projects, including those related to hazard mitigati on. The City can apply for CDBG funding to implement projects such as drainage improvements, erosion control, or wildfire fuel reduction.
The City of Montebello can also consider issuing bonds to fund hazard mitigation projects.
These bonds would be repaid over time through property taxes or other revenue sources and would allow the City to implement projects such as retrofitting critical infrastructure, building fire breaks, or developing early warning systems. Finally, the City can partner with other organizations and agencies to fund hazard mitigation projects. For example, the City can work with local businesses or non -profits to fund pr ojects such as emergency preparedness education or the development of community-wide evacuation plans.
163
5.3 Education/Outreach
The City of Montebello has developed a robust educational and public outreach program focused on hazard mitigation, primarily coordinated through its Fire Department and Community Risk Reduction Division (CRRD). The department places significant emphasis on educating the community about safety practices and identifying hazardous conditions that could pose risks to life, property, and the environment. This includes a variety of public education initiatives designed to raise awareness about fire safety, disaster prepared ness, and general risk reduction strategies. Through these efforts, the city aims to reduce the incidence of emergencies and enhance the community's overall resilience to disasters.
A key component of Montebello's public outreach capabilities is the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. This program provides residents with essential training on disaster response, including how to safely turn off utilities, provide first ai d, and manage emergency supplies. The CERT program is designed to empower community members to protect themselves, their families, and their neighbors during emergencies, thus enhancing the city's overall disaster preparedness. The Fire Department also con ducts regular inspections and public safety communications to ensure that residents and businesses are informed and prepared for potential hazards.
Montebello's Fire Community Services & Outreach Division (FCS&OD) further extends these efforts by focusing on vulnerable populations, such as seniors, the unhoused, and those with medical or behavioral health challenges. Programs like the Montebello Community Assistance Program (MCAP) offer field -based outreach and support to these groups, helping to reduce their reliance on emergency services for non -emergency issues and improving their quality of life.
164
5.4 Potential for Improvement
Section 6, Mitigation Strategy, includes not only a list of actions that could expand upon and improve the City’s capabilities but also a discussion of how best to implement them.
5.4.1 Policy/Regulatory
Close coordination internally with the Planning & Community Development Department and cultivation of relationships with the City Council to introduce and pass new and updated policy and codes will be essential. Planning and zoning regulations largely shape the physical nature of a community, and as such present a tremendous opportunity in building resilience.
Enhanced building codes deriving from the work of the Institute for Building and Home Safety among other organizations can also aid in steadily increasing the overall level of resilience.
The city’s General Plan and Hazard Mitigation Plan provide a foundation, but more robust integration of hazard mitigation into land -use planning, zoning regulations, and building codes could further reduce risks. Additionally, the city could adopt stricter enforcement mechanisms for existing regulations, ensuring that new developments are resilient to these hazards.
5.4.2 Admin/Technical
From an administrative and technical perspective, Montebello could benefit from enhancing its internal capabilities related to hazard mitigation. This could include investing in advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for better hazard mapping and risk assessment, which would allow the city to identify and prioritize vulnerable areas more effectively. Additionally, increasing staffing or providing specialized training for existing personnel in emergency management and urban planning would improve the city's ability to plan for and respond to disasters. Developing stronger inter-departmental coordination, particularly between planning, public works, and emergency services, would ensure that mitigation strategies are implemented efficiently and effectively across all city operations.
A major vulnerability of the City, and of virtually all organizations, public and private, is their increasing dependence on information technology. Cyberattacks often are first in mind, but just as important are the infrastructure networks such as electricity that enable the network to work.
COVID-19 was in many ways a test case for larger disasters, but it was easier to deal with given that it had no direct physical impact except to human health. A large earthquake, a Carrington event or other natural event that reduced or eliminated power to large areas for extended periods of time would be far more devastating to IT networks.
Montebello can consult directly with business continuity and resilience specialist firms to identify best practices to maintain cybersecurity and IT network resilience. Maintaining access to
165
alternate internet and cloud storage providers that can serve as backups will be vital. The City can also maintain its own independent network with dedicated, independent power sources and dedicated access through VPN or other methods. These should also include localized data backups that do not rely on the cloud. Working with business continuity specialists may be helpful as individual business operations rely much more on IT networks than on the kinds of physical structures that cities do.
5.4.3 Education/Outreach
Montebello’s current public outreach efforts could be expanded to further engage and educate the community on hazard mitigation. The city could develop targeted outreach programs that focus on specific hazards, such as earthquake preparedness, flood safety , and wildfire risk reduction. These programs could utilize various communication channels, including social media, community workshops, and school programs, to reach a broader audience.
Furthermore, enhancing the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) p rogram by offering more frequent training sessions and expanding participation would empower residents to take an active role in disaster preparedness.
5.4.4 Financial
To improve its fiscal standing and support resilience and mitigation, the City of Montebello could take several strategic actions. Following the California State Auditor’s recommendations from its 2021 report would greatly assist in improving the City’s financial capabilities. I ncreasing its reserve funds and reducing reliance on short -term borrowing would strengthen its financial position and provide a buffer against unexpected economic downturns or emergencies.
Montebello should also focus on reducing its pension liabilities through negotiation of more fiscally-sustainable pension plans or by making additional contributions to reduce unfunded liabilities.
In terms of supporting resilience and mitigation, Montebello can prioritize investments in infrastructure projects that enhance the city’s ability to withstand natural disasters, such as improving drainage systems to reduce flood risk or retrofitting build ings to better resist earthquakes. Establishing a dedicated hazard mitigation fund would be an excellent option to support these investments. By securing grants and partnerships for these projects, the city can minimize the financial burden on its budget while still achieving significant improvements in community safety and resilience. Additionally, adopting green infrastructure solutions and increasing energy efficiency across municipal operations can help the city reduce long -term operational costs and promote sustainability, aligning with broader climate adaptation goals.
166
Finally, rising insurance costs across the country pose a problem to local and state government.
Finding new methods of insurance and other forms of risk pooling will become ever -more important as disasters increase in frequency and intensity.

SECTION 6 – MITIGATION STRATEGY
Element C: Mitigation Strategy Requirements
C1. Does the plan document each jurisdiction’s existing authorities, policies, programs and resources and its ability to expand on and improve these existing policies and programs? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3))
C2. Does the plan address each jurisdiction’s participation in the NFIP and continued compliance with NFIP requirements, as appropriate? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(ii))
C3. Does the plan include goals to reduce/avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(i)) C4. Does the plan identify and analyze a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects for each jurisdiction being considered to reduce the effects of hazards, with emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(ii))
C5. Does the plan contain an action plan that describes how the actions identified will be prioritized (including cost benefit review), implemented and administered by each jurisdiction? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(iii)); (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(iv))
6.1 Introduction
The Mitigation Strategy serves as a comprehensive guide for the City of Montebello in its pursuit of enhancing disaster resilience by reducing vulnerability to identified hazards. Through the identification of specific Mitigation Goals and Objectives, strategies and initiatives are formulated to prevent, minimize, and alleviate the impa cts of both natural and manmade disasters on the local population and property within the planning area.
Strengthening community resilience involves the implementation of building codes, zoning ordinances, and other regulatory measures. During the review or update of these planning mechanisms, there is an opportunity to assess the feasibility of integrating mitigation strategies into policy changes. These proactive efforts contribute significantly to ensuring the City's sustained resilience in the face of hazard events.
City Staff make recommendations to the Montebello City Council regarding prioritization and funding of the above and future projects, yet the decision lies ultimately with the Councilmembers. Capital Improvement Projects and other Mitigation Projects may r eceive
168
public hearings as either part of the budgeting process or as individual staff items for City Council which allows for public input.
6.2 Mitigation Goals and Objectives
The Planning Team developed mitigation goals to avoid or reduce long -term vulnerabilities to hazards. These general principles clarify desired outcomes..
The goals are based on the risk assessment and Planning Team input and represent a long - term vision for hazard reduction or enhanced mitigation capabilities. They are compatible with community needs and goals expressed in other planning documents prepared by the City.
Each goal is supported by mitigation action items. The Planning Team developed these action items through its knowledge of the local area, risk assessment, review of past efforts, identification of mitigation activities, and qualitative analysis.
The five mitigation goals and descriptions are listed below.
Goal 1: Protect Life and Property
• Implement activities that assist in protecting lives by making homes, businesses, infrastructure, critical facilities, and other property more resistant to losses from natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.
• Improve hazard assessment information to make recommendations for avoiding new development in high hazard areas and encouraging preventative measures for existing development in areas vulnerable to natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.
Goal 2: Enhance Public Awareness
• Develop and implement education and outreach programs to increase public awareness of the risks associated with natural, human-caused, and technological hazards. • Provide information on tools; partnership opportunities, and funding resources to assist in implementing mitigation activities.
Goal 3: Preserve Natural Systems
• Support management and land use planning practices with hazard mitigation to protect life. Preserve, rehabilitate, and enhance natural systems to serve hazard mitigation functions.
169
Goal 4: Encourage Partnerships and Implementation
• Strengthen communication and coordinate participation with public agencies, citizens, non-profit organizations, business, and industry to support implementation. • Encourage leadership within the City and public organizations to prioritize and implement local and regional hazard mitigation activities.
Goal 5: Strengthen Emergency Services
• Establish policy to ensure mitigation projects for critical facilities, services, and infrastructure.
• Strengthen emergency operations by increasing collaboration and coordination among public agencies, non-profit organizations, business, and industry. • Coordinate and integrate hazard mitigation activities where appropriate, with emergency operations plans and procedures.
• The Planning Team also developed hazard -specific mitigation goals, which appear in the Mitigation Strategies Section.
170
6.3 Mitigation Actions
The action items are a listing of activities in which City agencies and citizens can be engaged to reduce risk. Each action item includes an estimate of the timeline for implementation.
The action items are organized within the following Mitigation Actions Matrix, which lists all of the multi -hazard (actions that reduce risks for more than one specific hazard) and hazard - specific action items included in the mitigation plan. Data collection and research and the public participation process resulted in the development of these action items. The Matrix includes the following information for each action item:
Funding Source
The action items can be funded through a variety of sources, possibly including: operating budget/general fund, development fees, grants such as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), private funding, Capital Improvement Plan, and other funding opportunities.
Coordinating Organization
The Mitigation Actions Matrix assigns primary responsibility for each of the action items. The hierarchies of the assignments vary – some are positions, others departments, and other committees.
Plan Goals Addressed
The plan goals addressed by each action item are included as a way to monitor and evaluate how well the mitigation plan is achieving its goals once implementation begins.
The plan goals are organized into the following five areas:
• Protect Life and Property
• Enhance Public Awareness
• Preserve Natural Systems
• Encourage Partnerships and Implementation
• Strengthen Emergency Services

Public campaign to
promote non-
structural
earthquake
mitigation
Prepare a campaign for City facilities,
residents, and businesses to utilize non-
structural mitigation techniques. Many
injuries in earthquakes are caused by
non-structural hazards, such as
attachments to buildings. These include
lighting fixtures, windows (glass),
pictures, tall bookcases, computers,
ornamental decorations on the outside of
the buildings (like parapets), gas lines,
etc. Activities that can reduce the risk of
injury and damage include: anchoring tall
bookcases and file cabinets, installing
latches on drawers and cabinet doors,
restraining desktop computers and
appliances, using flexible connections on
gas and water lines, mounting framed
pictures and mirrors securely, and
anchoring and bracing propane tanks
and gas cylinders.

Unnecessary or old and structurally unsound dams should be removed. Planning for dam breaks can include constructing emergency access roads as well as automating pump and
flood gate operation. And it never hurts to regulate
development in a dam’s hydraulic shadow, where flooding would occur if there were a severe dam failure.

6.6 Mitigation Prioritization and Implementation
Mitigation actions were prioritized and ranked on a scale from 1 -4, 1 being a priority for most immediate implementation and/or foundational for other actions and 4 being determined to have the least need for immediate implementation. Please note that this ranking is not a ranking of the overall worth of an action – merely of prioritization over time and actions that may serve as a foundation for other actions to build upon.
The following factors were considered when prioritizing mitigation projects:
Does the action:
• solve the problem?
• reduce the exposure or vulnerability to the highest priority hazard? • address multiple hazards?
• benefits equal or exceed costs?
• implement a goal, policy, or project identified in the General Plan or Capital Improvement Plan?
Can the action:
• be implemented with existing funds?
• be implemented by existing state or federal grant programs? • be completed within the 5-year life cycle of the LHMP? • be implemented with currently available technologies? Will the action:
• be accepted by the community?
• be supported by community leaders?
• adversely impact segments of the population or neighborhoods? • require a change in local ordinances or zoning laws?
• positive or neutral impact on the environment?
• comply with all local, state and federal environmental laws and regulations? Is there:
• sufficient staffing to undertake the project?
• existing authority to undertake the project?
210
Evaluating the proposed projects will be done by each responsible department by surveying City staff assigned and members of the public, reviewing citizen complaints and public safety records, and conducting a cost analysis. In leaner budget years, some projects may lack funding, but staff will continue to identify potential funding streams as well as to set priorities based on a needs assessment in addition to the costs and benefits.

7.1 Planning Process
This LHMP (Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) is designed to meet the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and to ensure that the City is eligible for all appropriate benefits under state and federal law and practices. The LHMP planning process considers natural and human -caused hazards facing the City, making sure that all federal and state requirements are met and supporting HMP review. The LHMP planning team gathered information from a variety of sources, including participating mun icipal and county agencies, local organizations and utilities, federal and state agencies, and residents of the City. They solicited information from individuals with specific knowledge of natural hazards, historical events, planning and zoning codes, and recent planning decisions affecting hazard mitigation.
The natural hazard mitigation strategies were developed through an extensive planning process involving City agencies/officials and City
Throughout the project, the City followed its traditional approach to developing policy documents which included preparation of a First Draft Plan for review by the City’s Hazard Mitigation Planning Team who served as the primary stakeholders. Next, following necessary updates from the internal review, a Second Draft Plan was shared with secondary
212
stakeholders including: general public, external agencies (utilities, special districts the, adjoining jurisdictions), and community meetings - all during the plan writing phase. Next, the comments gathered from the secondary stakeholders were incorporated into the Third Draft Plan and forwarded to Cal OES and FEMA for review and conditional approval. Mandated revisions were incorporated into the Final Plan, which was returned to CalOES and FEMA for final approval. After approval, the Plan was presented to City Council for adoption, and the adoption resolution was sent to FEMA for acknowledgement and final approval. before presentation to City Council.

Other external resources utilized included maps, histories of California hazards, as well as other city and county hazard mitigation plans. The information gathered from these documents was incorporated into the introduction, the risk assessment, and the mitigation strategies sections of this plan.
A planning meeting was held in advance of the scheduled plan update. At this meeting, members of the planning team outlined and assigned all of the necessary tasks for updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Afterwards, individual follow-up meetings/phone calls were used to complete subsequent edits. Precise documentation of the initial planning team meeting is unavailable, but the process was similar to previous Hazard Mitigation Plan updates.
215
7.2 Plan Update
Element E: Plan Update Requirements
E1. Was the plan revised to reflect changes in development? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3))
E2. Was the plan revised to reflect changes in priorities and progress in local mitigation efforts? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3))
The City of Montebello’s most recent LHMP update was completed in 2017. This update uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the recently-completed (as of 2024) Montebello General Plan to examine the impact of development changes on the residents of the City, with particular attention to renters and lower-income residents. Further information on development patterns can be found in Section 2.
This update to the City’s LHMP is a more comprehensive update than previous versions. It expands the scope of the LHMP to reflect new FEMA guidance as of April 2023.
• This LHMP update incorporates climate impacts into every relevant hazard to add a new depth to descriptions as well as into mitigation action to encourage adaptation to climate change.
• This update also weaves equity throughout the plan, centering where appropriate vulnerable populations.
7.3 Stakeholder Involvement
Stakeholders were involved at multiple stages in the plan development process. As part of the initial research and analysis setting the foundation for the Plan, documents from not only the City of Montebello but also from neighboring jurisdictions were used to inform the Plan’s context development.
Meetings of the core planning team were held biweekly and as otherwise required.
• Local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities o Southern California Area Governments
o Los Angeles County
216
• Agencies that have the authority to regulate development o City of Montebello Community Development
• Neighboring communities
o Neighboring local governments were contacted at several stages during the process, and copies of the initial draft LHMP were sent for review and comment to the cities of:
▪ City of Pico Rivera
▪ City of Commerce
▪ City of Monterey Park
▪ City of Rosemead
▪ City of Bell Gardens
▪ City of Downey
• Representatives of businesses, academia, and other private organizations o Outreach took place by phone and by email to entities with both relevant knowledge and major local employers including
▪ Southern California Edison
▪ SoCalGas
▪ Montebello Chamber of Commerce
• Representatives of nonprofit organizations, including community-based organizations, that work directly with and/or provide support to underserved communities and socially vulnerable populations, among others o Attempts to solicit involvement and comment were made from the following organizations:
▪ City of Montebello Community Services
▪ Montebello Housing Development Corporation
▪ Westchester YMCA
▪ Cesar Chavez Foundation
▪ Athena Services
Upon completion of the initial draft, a copy of the Plan was made available for review on the City’s website. Public comment was invited, as well as further comment from several communities that work closely with Montebello to enhance their common resilience from disasters. Finally, the CERT Team was given an opportunity to comment on the Plan.
217
7.4 Public Involvement
The City of Montebello provided members of the public several opportunities to participate in the planning, design, and review phases of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Public input and discussion were possible during staff presentations and also during “public comment” at various City Council meetings. addition, members of the public, Commissioners, and Council members were given the opportunity to provide staff with recommendations both verbally and via e-mail.
Public outreach for input on the Plan took place in several ways.
• An advertisement in the July 2024 edition of the Montebello Reporter, a free mailed publication sent to over 11,500 households and businesses. • Notification on the City’s website and social media channels. • A survey in English and Spanish was made available on the City’s website through July 31, 2023, allowing residents to comment on their views of hazards impacting the City and actions to be taken to mitigate them.
• An in-person public meeting was held at Reggie Rodriguez Park on July 17, 2024. • A virtual meeting was held on July 23, 2024, using the same format as the in -person meeting, and allowing residents to comment remotely.
• The Draft LHMP was published to the City’s website for a two-week public comment period.
Survey results summaries are included in the Appendices to the Plan as well as notices placed in print and social media as well as the City’s website.
Public involvement was influential in the development and refining of mitigation actions as well as the characterization of several hazards, most notably in reference to extreme heat and wildfire. Frequent mention was also made of potential transportation bottlenecks and related issues and resulted in the development of additional language throughout the LHMP as well as specific mitigation actions focused on mitigating those issues. Overall public feedback also provided greater context to community concerns over hazard impacts beyond the 5-year LHMP planning horizon, per FEMA guidance requiring communities to consider climate impacts which by their nature extend beyond that 5-year cycle.
Outreach to identified vulnerable communities took place through both outreach to local organizations and through relevant City departments as discussed in Section 7.3, Stakeholder Involvement, as well as through direct mailings as described above. For un housed and
218
populations with behavioral health issues, outreach to organizations working with those populations was the only feasible method to pursue a level of engagement and involvement.
Copies of the Plan will be catalogued and made available at City Hall and Montebello Public Library. The existence and location of these copies will be publicized on City websites and social media. A copy of the Plan and any proposed changes will be posted on the City’s website. The website will also include an email address and phone nu mber to which people can direct their comments, recommendations, and concerns.
The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will work with stakeholders within City government to provide opportunities for the public to be involved throughout the five -year cycle, not just during the actual plan development phase. Opportunities may include piggyb acking off existing public outreach meetings held by police or fire departments, booths at farmer’s markets or other public events in the City, and periodic updates to City Council in public meetings.
Specific events that will be promoted as part of hazard mitigation planning public involvement will include:
• National Fire Protection Association Fire Week
• City of Montebello Police Area Command Meeting
7.5 Plan Incorporation
The City of Montebello addresses statewide planning goals and legislative requirements through its General Plan, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and city building and safety codes.
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) provides a series of recommendation s, many of which are closely related to the goals and objectives of existing planning programs. The City of Montebello implements recommended mitigation action items through existing programs and procedures to ensure hazard mitigation remains an integral part of city planning efforts.
The 2017 LHMP was incorporated as an Annex to the Safety Element of the City’s General Plan The Safety Element was referenced by the City’s new General Plan as of 2024 , per the requirements of California SB 379. Other planning mechanisms such as the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) referred to the 2017 LHMP on a case-by-case basis when needed.
The City of Montebello’s Planning and Community Development Department is responsible for adhering to the State of California’s Building and Safety Codes. Additionally, the department collaborates with state agencies to review, develop, and ensure that building and safety codes effectively mitigate or prevent damage caused by hazards. This process ensures that life-safety criteria are met for all new construction and significant renovations.
219
Some of the goals and action items in the LHMP will be achieved through activities recommended in the CIP. Various City departments develop the CIP and review it on an annual basis. During the annual CIP review process, the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will work with City departments to assess where LHMP action items align with CIP goals and incorporate them where appropriate.
Upon FEMA approval of the LHMP, the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will initiate a structured process for integrating the mitigation plan into relevant city planning mechanisms. The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator and the Planning Team will meet at least annually to track the integration of mitigation strategies, ensure alignment with city policies, and review progress. These meetings will provide an opportunity for Planning Team members to report on integration efforts and recommend necessary adjustments to improve implementation.
7.6 Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan
Element D: Plan Maintenance Requirements
D1. Is there discussion of how each community will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(4)(iii)) D2. Is there a description of the method and schedule for keeping the plan current (monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a five-year cycle)? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(4)(i))
D3. Does the plan describe a process by which each community will integrate the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms, such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(4)(ii))
Monitoring
Under the direction of the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator, the Planning Team will take responsibility for plan maintenance and implementation. The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will facilitate Planning Team meetings and assign tasks such as updating and pre senting the Plan to the members of the Planning Team. This individual will maintain a yearly record of necessary revisions to ensure that the most accurate and up-to-date information is included in the Plan.
The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will also coordinate with relevant City departments to integrate their tracking updates for mitigation actions that overlap with the LHMP. Plan
220
implementation and evaluation will be a shared responsibility among all members of the Planning Team. The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will also coordinate with City leadership to ensure funding is secured for required five-year updates to the Plan in accordance with FEMA requirements.
The Planning Team will be responsible for coordinating implementation of LHMP action items and overseeing the formal review process. The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will be authorized to reassign Planning Team members as needed.
The Planning Team will meet at least once per year. Meeting dates will be scheduled after the final Planning Team has been confirmed. These meetings will provide an opportunity to review progress on action items and maintain interdepartmental partnerships essential for the long - term success of the mitigation plan.
Evaluating
The Mitigation Plan will be evaluated annually to assess the effectiveness of existing programs and to account for changes in land use, development trends, and other factors that may impact mitigation priorities. The evaluation process will follow a firm schedule and outline the agencies and organizations responsible for reviewing the Plan. The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator or their designee will be responsible for coordinating with Planning Team members and organizing the annual evaluation meeting.
The Planning Team will review the goals and action items to determine their continued relevance based on changes in local conditions, State or Federal policies, and newly available hazard data. Additionally, the Risk Assessment portion of the Plan will be reviewed to determine if updates or modifications are necessary. Coordinating agencies responsible for various action items will report on the status of their projects, including:
• Success of implementation efforts
• Challenges or difficulties encountered
• Effectiveness of interagency coordination
• Recommended revisions to action items
The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will assign Planning Team members to implement necessary Plan updates. The designated members will have three months to draft changes before submitting revisions to the full Planning Team. All Plan holders and relevant Cit y departments will be notified when changes have been made. Every five years, the updated Plan will be submitted to the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and FEMA for review and approval.
221
During the annual Planning Team meeting, each mitigation action will be reviewed to ensure continued alignment with current conditions and policy changes. The risk assessment portion of the Plan will also be reviewed for necessary updates. The Planning Team will report on:
• Any changes in the nature or magnitude of identified risks • The status of mitigation actions, including successes and challenges • Difficulties encountered and proposed solutions
• Effectiveness of interagency coordination and potential adjustments to mitigation strategies
The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will lead the evaluation process and engage with key stakeholders, including:
• Neighborhood groups
• Fire and law enforcement agencies
• Community-based organizations
• Social service agencies
• Transportation and public works departments
These stakeholders will contribute to ongoing hazard mitigation planning efforts by providing updates on relevant conditions and identifying emerging needs.
Updating
The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will oversee plan monitoring and evaluation to ensure adequate funding is secured for mitigation activities. After the City’s budget is approved by the City Council, the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will work with the Pla n Development Team to apply for hazard mitigation grants to support mitigation projects not covered under the City’s budget.
Beginning in Year Four of the Plan cycle, the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator will initiate the formal five-year update process. The revised Hazard Mitigation Plan will be presented to the City Council for formal adoption.
Public engagement will be a key component of the update process. Citywide meetings will be widely advertised using social media and traditional outreach methods to encourage participation from residents, property owners, business owners, and other stakehol ders. The updated Hazard Mitigation Plan will be catalogued and distributed to all relevant City departments and made available online and physically at public request
222
7.7 Plan Adoption
Element F: Plan Adoption
F1. For single-jurisdictional plans, has the governing body of the jurisdiction formally adopted the plan to be eligible for certain FEMA assistance?
(Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(5))
F2. For multi-jurisdictional plans, has the governing body of each jurisdiction officially adopted the plan to be eligible for certain FEMA assistance?
(Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(5))
Adoption of the Mitigation Plan by the City’s governing body is one of the prime requirements for approval of the plan. Once the plan is completed, the City Council will be responsible for adopting the Mitigation Plan. The governing body has the responsibi lity and authority to promote sound public policy regarding hazards. The City Council will have the authority to periodically update the plan as it is revised to meet changes in the hazard risks and exposures in the City. The approved Mitigation Plan will be significant in the future growth and development of the City.
On August 27, 2025, during the monthly city council meeting, the Montebello City Council formally adopted the Montebello Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The resolution of adoption by the City Council is in Appendix A.

ITEM # 10
CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: John Soria, Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-73 APPROVING THE CITY OF
MONTEBELLO TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE FIRST PUBLIC
HYDROGEN (FPH2) JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
DATE: August 27, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-73 approving the City of Montebello to become a member of the First Public Hydrogen (FPH2) Joint Powers Authority (JPA); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with FPH2 on the City’s behalf; and
3. Take any additional related actions as deemed necessary
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for FPH2 membership.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Lancaster, in partnership with the City of Industry, has established the FPH2 to facilitate the development of green hydrogen. This initiative aims to create a sustainable and economically viable hydrogen ecosystem by aggregating demand from various public and private stakeholders, thereby achieving lower hydrogen prices through bulk procurement. FPH2’s operational model is designed to aggregate hydrogen demand across a wide array of stakeholders including transit agencies, municipalities, and port authorities. This collective demand will enable the procurement of green hydrogen at significantly reduced prices compared to current market rates, promoting wider adoption and utilization.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2025
ENVIRONMENTAL:
N/A
ANALYSIS:
On October 23, 2024, the City Council awarded Agreement No. 4231, to the Center for Transportation and the Environment, Inc. (CTE), to provide consulting services specific to Montebello Bus Lines’ (MBL) Zero-Emission Bus (ZEB) Facilities and Fleet Transition Plan. Since March 2025, CTE has been working with MBL staff and providing recommendations and guidance for activities specific to hydrogen fuel storage, monitoring, dispensing, fire suppression, and infrastructure modifications to existing facilities to accommodate daily fueling and maintenance.
Recently, the City released Request for Proposals (RFP), No. 25-12, to procure a temporary hydrogen refueling solution to support the City’s transition to cleaner transportation options. This temporary solution is intended to serve as a bridge while the City prepares to release a separate RFP later this fiscal year for the development of a permanent hydrogen fueling station.
Joining FPH2 provides the City with a strategic opportunity to become a partner in a regional network aimed at aggregating hydrogen demand to secure more competitive pricing. By becoming a member, the City will gain access to bulk purchasing agreements and shared resources, which will significantly reduce the per-unit cost of hydrogen fuel compared to purchasing it independently on the open market. This partnership will not only reduce costs but also enhance the City’s ability to meet long-term sustainable innovation objectives and transition to a zero-emission fleet in accordance with MBLs ZEB Rollout Plan, which calls for a full transition to a fuel cell electric bus (FCEB) fleet by 2040.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-73 approving the City to become a member of the FPH2 JPA; authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with FPH2; and take any additional related actions as deemed necessary.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Cesar Roldan, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-75 APPROVING THE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2025-2030 FINAL REPORT
DATE: August 27, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-75 approving the Pavement Management System 2025- 2030 Final Report; and
2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution. The Pavement Management System plan provides guidance for future capital improvement projects aimed at road repair and improvement. Subsequent fiscal year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets will utilize the report to plan paving projects and appropriate funds accordingly.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Pavement Management System takes a systematic approach that analyzes and summarizes pavement information for use in selecting and implementing cost-effective pavement construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance program needs. Factors considered in the evaluation of the streets included pavement materials (i.e. concrete or asphalt), traffic patterns, year-round climate, maintenance levels, drainage, and life-cycle costs.
The Pavement Management System involves the identification of optimum strategies at
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2025
various Pavement Condition Index (PCI) levels and maintains pavements at an adequate PCI threshold (level of serviceability). Once the evaluations were completed, the field data was inputted into a database application and a numerical value between 0 and 100 was generated for the condition of the pavement.

oxidation may occur.
(II) Fair, Non-Loaded 50-69 Pavements which have a significant level of distress that is predominantly non-load
related such as longitudinal/transverse
cracks, bleeding, block cracking, weathering
and raveling, etc. The pavement structure is
sound, and some oxidation has occurred.
(III) Fair, Load-Related 50-69 Pavements which have a significant level of distress that are predominantly load related
such as alligator cracking and minor rutting,
etc. The pavement structure is becoming
deficient (minimal base failure).
(IV) Poor 25-49 The pavement has moderate to severe
surface distresses. Extensive weathering or
raveling, block cracking, and load-related
distresses such as alligator cracking, rutting,
and potholes may occur.
(V) Very Poor 0-24 The pavement has severe weather-related distress as well as large quantities of load-
related distress. The pavement is nearing the
end of its service life.
The City’s average weighted PCI is 68.1 out of 100, which is considered a “Fair” condition.
However, the average PCI does not completely describe the City’s street network. A better representation of the overall network condition includes a breakdown by the functional classification as shown in the table below.

A critical concept in overall pavement life is the timing of maintenance and rehabilitation (resurfacing or reconstruction) actions being undertaken before the pavement fails beyond the optimum rehabilitation point. The pavement management tools developed in this report will assist staff in determining which streets need immediate attention and which streets can be placed on a multi-year plan for future pavement and rehabilitation projects.
The City primarily utilizes special county, state and federal funding sources for street improvement projects. Some of these funds are administered by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), such as Proposition A and C funds (i.e., Local Return Funds). Consistent with the California Streets & Highways Code Section 2108.1, Proposition C funds require that the City develop a Pavement Management System and update it in order to use Proposition C funds to improve the City’s roadway network. Additionally, the State of California requires local agencies to utilize a Pavement Management System to properly evaluate and report pavement conditions in order to be eligible for gas tax revenue. The City Engineer is required to certify that the City maintains and updates a Pavement Management System as a condition of the receipt of this State funding.

Definitions
Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
The PCI serves as the default condition index for the pavement management system. It is a numerical index ranging from 0 for a failed pavement to 100 for a pavement in perfect condition.
Calculation of the PCI is based on the results of a visual condition survey in which distress type, severity, and quantity are identified. It was developed to provide a numerical measurement of the pavement’s structural integrity and surface operational condition.
Pavement Network
A pavement network serves as a logical unit for organizing pavements into a structure for the purpose of pavement management. It typically c onsists of one or more pavement branches, which in turn may consist of one or more pavement sections. The network is the point of origin for the hierarchy of pavement management structures.
Pavement Branch
A branch is a readily identifiable part of the pavement network and has a distinct function. For example, an individual street or a parking lot would each be considered a separate branch of the pavement network. Similarly, an airfield pavement such as a runway or a taxiway would each be considered a separate branch.
Pavement Section
A section should be viewed as the smallest management unit when considering the application and selection of treatments. It is a logical unit assigned to a stretch of pavement that exhibits a common age, construction type, traffic, and other criteria. A pavement section will be defined as a subordinate of a pavement branch, which in turn will be a subordinate of a parent pavement network.
Critical PCI
Defined as the PCI value at which the rate of PCI loss increases with time, or the cost of applying localized preventive maintenance increases significantly. Refer to Appendix A for examples of different PCI Scores.
Global Preventive Maintenance & Repair (M&R)
Defined as activities applied to entire pavement sections with the primary objective of slowing the rate of deterioration. This policy is applied to pavements above the critical PCI.
Localized Stop-Gap (Safety) Maintenance and Repair (Stop-Gap) Stop-gap maintenance and repair (M&R) is defined as the localized M&R needed to keep the pavement operational surface in a safe condition. This policy is applied to pavements below the critical PCI.
Localized Preventive M&R (Preventative)
Defined as distress maintenance activities performed with the primary objective of slowing the rate of deterioration. This policy is applied to pavements above the critical PCI.
Major M&R
Repairs applied to the entire pavement section to correct or improve existing structural or functional conditions. It is also used to upgrade pavements below the critical PCI.

SECTION I
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
NEED FOR PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
It is necessary for the City of Montebello to update its Pavement Management System (PMS) to develop a better way to track pavement conditions, life cycles, and maintenance of the City’s street network. Bowman company have been contracted to perform the analysis of the conditions of the roadways and develop a maintenance plan for the system. A citywide windshield survey has been performed and documented as part of the field work.
The PMS has been developed to assist City personnel by providing current data on the City’s street network and to develop cost-effective management strategies to maintain a desirable level of performance of the street network while optimizing the use of limited fiscal resources.
Specifically, the PMS report provides administrators and maintenance personnel with:
• A list of recently completed projects in the City,
• A current inventory of all City routes (Residential, Arterial, Collector),
• A current assessment of the pavement conditions for all City routes (Residential, Arterial, Collector),
• A listing of streets which identifies all sections of pavement needing maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement, and
• A forecast of budget needs for maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement of deficient pavement sections of the city streets for a five (5) year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Because pavements are dynamic structures , the pavement management system needs to be updated on a regular basis to reflect changes in pavement conditions, work completed and changes in maintenance strategies based upon budgetary constraints. This report reflects the current state of the City’s pavement network and recommended maintenance strategies for the next five (5) years. This report does not include the effects on the pavement of any pending street improvement projects.
CITY’S PAVEMENT NETWORK
To create an organized maintenance plan, the City's existing road system was broken into classifications based upon their importance in the road network, as shown in Table 1, Table 2, and Exhibit 1.

PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX (PCI)
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a numerical index, ranging from 0 for a failed pavement to 100 for a pavement in perfect condition. A visual representation of the PCI scale is illustrated in Appendix A. Calculation of the PCI is based on the results of a visual condition survey in which distress type, severity, and quantity are identifi ed. PCI was developed to provide a measure of the pavement’s structural integrity and surface operational condition. The PCI is the default condition index for the pavement management system. Tables 3, Table 4, Table 5, Exhibit 2, and Exhibit 3 shown below summarize the pavement section breakdown for the entire City of Montebello.

Exhibit 3
Overall Condition Distribution by Section of Pavement for All Streets (by Square Footage)
As of 2025, the overall condition of the City’s pavement network is rated as “Fair,” with a weighted average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 68.1. This average is calculated based on the surface area of each street segment. In comparison, the citywide weighted average PCI in 2021 was 58.1, reflecting an improvement of 10 points over a four-year period. This increase indicates measurable progress in the City’s pavement maintenance and rehabilitation efforts.

MAINTENANCE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
Based on the results of the condition survey and input from the City, pavement maintenance/rehabilitation strategies were developed. A standard agreement at the outset was to identify the City’s maintenance work program for the next five years, based upon the objective to maintain a “good” condition of the City’s streets and to reduce street maintenance backlog.
Bowman company has recommended a minimal Pavement Condition Index (PCI) threshold, which serves as a key criterion for determining pavement maintenance needs. Based on the City’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, and maintenance practices, our team has identified a PCI of 59 as the minimum threshold. This means that any pavement section with a PCI below 60 may be recommended for treatment, which could include slurry seal, cape seal, grind and overlay, or full reconstruction.
As shown in Exhibit 3, 28% of the pavement sections in the City are in “Very Poor” to “Fair” not including Fair conditions. These sections should be targeted at Major Maintenance and Repair (M&R), which include grind & overlay and recons truction. Initially, however, stop-gap measures can be applied for safety purposes until funds can be allocated for the Major M&R work. The reasoning in doing this is to extend the life cycl es of those pavement sections while accruing additional capital funds to aggressively rehabilitate those pavement sections that are below the minimal “LOS.”
There are 21% of the pavement sections in the city rated as Fair. These sections should be targeted for medium grind & overlay.
Additionally, 51% of the pavement sections in the City are rated Good to Very Good. These streets should be targeted for global preventative maintenance and localized repairs, such as crack sealing, patching, and slurry seal.
To implement an effective and optimum program for the City, several strategies have been selected. Appendix “B” is a listing of the maintenance activities utilized in strategy development.
Each maintenance activity is representative of the types of work that have been implemented as part of the long-term maintenance requirements of the City’s street network.

ANNUAL BUDGET SCENARIO PROJECTIONS
The budgeting process was guided by the goal of developing a five-year work program based on actual pavement conditions, with the intent to maintain and improve the City’s average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) over the durat ion of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Based on current and projected pavement maintenance needs, annual work programs have been prepared, and the corresponding budget summary is provided below.
An annual budget of $3.5 million is allocated fo r roadway’s pavement improvements. To ensure these funds are used effectively, a comprehensive selection process was conducted to identify street segments most in need of repair. The evaluation considered several key factors, all of which included an assessment of pavement condition:
1. The condition of street pavements across various districts, to ensure an equitable distribution of improvements citywide.
2. Consistence with the City’s established prio rities, as outlined in Resolution No. 25-43; and
3. Project readiness, giving preference to streets that have already been designed for improvement and are construction-ready under SB1 funding for Fiscal Year 2024–2025, with a plan to continue over the next five fiscal years.
Funds were distributed between the two classifications of streets: collector and residential streets. The amount of funds distributed are based on a variety of factors including cost, demand, current PCI values of the streets and above 3 reasons.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The purpose of the budget is to improve the PCI conditions of the City with the optimal usage of the resources provided. Table 6 presents a scenario that incorporates various maintenance and repair work types aimed at maintaining a Citywide acceptable Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
Considering the average statewide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 65 and the Los Angeles County average of 67, the City’s PCI of 68.1 fiscal year 2025-2026 is higher than both benchmarks, indicating a relatively strong overall pavement condition. This indicates that the city's roads are generally in better condition than the statewide average and are comparable to or better than the roads in Los Angeles County. This suggests that the maintenance and repair work types implemented in the city have been effective in maintaining a higher PCI and ensuring relatively good road conditions for residents and visitors.
Planned Roadway Selections:
FY 2025-26 – Roadways were selected based on Resolution No. 25-43.
FY 2026-27 – Roadways were selected based on Resolution No. 25-43.
FY 2027-28 – Roadways were selected based on Resolution No. 25-43 , with the addition of 11 roadway segments from the FY 2024-25 SB1 program.
FY 2028-29 – Remaining roadways from Resolution No. 25-43 were selected, along with additional roadways from the FY 2024-25 SB1 program.
City of Montebello
Pavement Management System - 2025
FY 2029-30 – The final set of roadways from Resolution No. 25-43 and the FY 2024-25 SB1 program were selected, along with additional roadway segments identified as having low PCI scores and in need of improvement.
All work program budgets generated in Table 6 are presented in terms of current 2025 dollars.
All repair activities were solely based on the pavement distresses observed during the field survey of the street. Also, Table 6 shows the before-and-after PCIs for each year when the funds are expended to repair the roadways. The city-wide PCI score is the weighted average determined by square footage of area.

After applying the allocated funds to repair the recommended streets, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) scores are expected to remain stable for the 2025–2026 fiscal year. The PCI is projected to stay above 66.8 for both the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 fiscal years. However, by 2027–2028, the PCI is expected to decrease to 64.7, and further decline to 63.6 in 2028–2029, and 62 in 2029–2030. To achieve a citywide PCI score higher than 67, additional funding beyond the current budget will be necessary. The relatively low PCI scores can be attributed to several factors, including the exclusion of arterial streets and alleys from the project scope and PCI calculations. These areas typically maintain higher PCI scores for longer periods due to their stronger pavement structure. Additionally, we believe that the unit cost for pavement improvements may be conservatively estimated on the higher side.
To optimally maintain the overall PCI of residential streets, slurry sealing and cape sealing are the most cost-effective solutions. These treatments help raise the overall PCI while keeping costs low. However, based on our field assessments, we have selected more durable improvement methods that are expected to last longer than just slurry seal or cape seal.
Due to budget limitations, the evaluation and consider ation of improvements to the City’s alleys, Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement, and arterial roads are beyond the scope of this report.
Given current fiscal constraints, the most cost-effective approach is to prioritize the treatment of streets with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) between 75 and 85, where slurry seal and cape
City of Montebello
Pavement Management System - 2025
seal applications can extend pavement life at a relatively low cost. However, it remains essential for the City to address all streets with the appropriate treatment methods as outlined in the report, even if doing so may result in a temporary decrease in overall average PCI. This ensures long-term system preservation and prevents more costly repairs in the future. Additionally, a phased rehabilitation approach is recommended beginning with medium grinding and overlay for applicable streets and reserving heavy grind and overlay treatments for locations where more extensive repairs are warranted. This strategy allows for efficient use of available resources while maintaining the overall integrity of the roadway network.
In general terms, pavements with high PCIs that are not exhibiting significant load-related distress will benefit from preventive maintenance actions, such as crack sealing and surface treatments. As the PCI drops, the pavements may require major rehabilitation, such as an overlay. In some situations where the PCI has dropped low enough, reconstruction may be the only viable alternative due to the substantial damage to the pavement structure. Appendix A illustrates how the appropriate repair type varies with the PCI of a pavement section.
As shown in Exhibit 4, the City has been divided into five districts. These district matches the five geographic districts to optimize the use of resources for residential slurry seal improvements. By concentrating efforts on one section per year, the City can reduce overall costs associated with material transport and im prove contractor efficiency through localized operations. The recommended maintenance schedule is based on pavement distresses observed during the most recent field survey and does not account for ongoing construction or future Capital Improvement Program (CIP) proj ects. The section map serves as a planning tool to guide which residential streets should be prioritized each fiscal year. This prioritization is determined by a combination of the average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the total area of each District.
As projects are scheduled for overlays or reconstruction, Bowman recommends that additional pavement testing, or R-value soil sampling be done prior to determining final project requirements. Soil testing can help to specifically define overlay requirements for a given pavement section. These tests will assist in minimizing the costs associated with each project.
The management of the City of Montebello’ pavement network will be a continuous effort. The dataset will require updates and revisions as time progresses. These revisions will consist of changes in Public Works policy, priority, and budgetary modifications. This will allow work to be scheduled based on the most current data available.

MAINTENANCE STRATEGY ASSIGNMENTS
The PCI is used by the system to schedule each pavement segment for maintenance activities.
The City was presented with a list of suggested maintenance and rehabilitation strategies and recommended selecting the activities and unit costs that were appropriate for their purposes.
Definitions of each maintenance activity per category are defined as follows:
1. General Repairs (Incidental)
Surface treatments are generally used as "holding actions" to delay the need for more extensive structural pavement rehabilitation. These maintenance activities typically include crack sealing, deep patching, skin patching, and leveling.
2. Slurry Seals / Cape Seals / Oil Seals (Minor)
Slurry Seal - Surface treatments applied to pavements with minimal surface distress to provide new wearing surfaces and extend pavement life. Generally, it consists of a mixture of conventional or latex-modified emulsified asphalt, well-graded fine aggregate, mineral filler, and water placed over the existing surface.
Cape Seals - Cape seal adds little to no structural strength to the roadway; however, it offers several surface-level benefits. It helps reduce surface defects, improves skid resistance, and minimizes chip loss due to the slurry seal overlay. The resulting surface combines the rough, textured finish of a chip seal—which helps reduce hydroplaning—with the durable sand matrix of a slurry seal. Cape seal typically extends pavement life by at least five years. Depending on roadway classification and existing condition at the time of application, it can be applied as either a preventative or major maintenance treatment.
Oil Seals - This technique involves the spraying of a light coat of a bituminous material on the surface of an existing pavement using a distributor. It is used to prolong the life of an asphalt concrete pavement by helping to reduce raveling and to improve waterproofing. Oil seals are especially good for treating pavements that carry little or no traffic. Without traffic, asphalt concrete pavements tend to ravel and harden faster than pavements that support moderate to heavy traffic.
3. Overlays (Major)
Medium (1.5”) AC Overlay - Placement of a layer of hot-mixed asphalt concrete (1.5” in thickness) over the existing pavement surface (may include pavement fabric). Cold planing is performed prior to the overlay to reduce the total height of asphalt and assure alignment with existing gutter line. This also includes “dig-outs” and crack sealing prior to the application of an overlay. This treatment pr ovides a new wearing surface and increases structural strength to the pavement section. A conventional overlay should be designed for a ten-year life.
Heavy (2.0” to 2.5”) AC Overlay - A conventional 2.0” to 2.5” overlay preceded by the placement of a woven reinforcing fabric set in a prescribed amount of asphalt binder. Cold planing, “dig-outs” and crack sealing are performed, as well. A reinforced fabric overlay should provide at least ten (10+) years of additional service before preventive maintenance is required. Typically used where structural strengthening is required and deflective cracking

is found.
4. Reconstruction (Major)
The process involves removing the existing pavement to a specified depth, followed by the installation of a new pavement section. This can either be a conventional flexible pavement structure, consisting of an aggregate subbase, aggregate base, and asphalt concrete, or a full-depth asphalt section, depending on the specific requirements of the roadway. The design and construction of each road type are tailored to its classification, with the pavement cross-section typically determined by the expected traffic load and anticipated wear over time. This ensures that the new pavement is properly engineered to handle the specific demands placed on the road, optimizing both performance and longevity.

Pavement Management System - 2025
STRATEGY ASSIGNMENT TABLE
Once the City identifies the appropriate treatments from the recommended maintenance strategies, a Maintenance Strategy Table will be developed within the system to assign specific actions tailored to the condition and needs of each street segment. A key objective in this process is to ensure that the available budget is distributed balance and effectively across all five Districts of the City , promoting equity in pavement maintenance and rehabilitation efforts.
In preparing the strategy list, careful attent ion is given to establishing pavement condition thresholds based on Pavement Condition Index (PCI) values to guide the selection of the most suitable maintenance activity within each category. This data-driven approach supports both strategic investment and balanced improvements citywide.
The Strategy Assignments List, shown in Table 7, was developed to identify the most critical segments in the work program. Segment priorities were established by determining the range of PCI values requiring first attention based on the relative value of each segment’s PCI, thus maximizing the annual maintenance budget. Maintenance activities are recommended by considering segment PCI‘s functional class (collector, residential pavement sections), extents of distresses over the section areas, and/or where the existing distress on the section fits the pavement activity criteria (i.e., distress = pothole = fill pothole).

41-59 Poor Heavy 2.0” to 2.5” AC

0-40 Very Poor Reconstruction
A minimal “level of service” has been recommended to proactively maintain fair to excellent conditions while striving to identify poor to failed sections that need major rehabilitation. Using this strategy will allow the City to identify spec ific pavement sections to include in the yearly allocation of pavement maintenance funding. Without continued funding for “below level of service” streets, the maintenance backlog will increase through the forecasted CIP projections.

street pavement improvements and pertinent items within the roadway, from the edge of the gutter to the opposite edge of the gutter. At the time of design and construction of any of these streets, all items within the street right-of-way, such as sidewalks, curbs and gutters, concrete ramps, driveways, tree wells, etc., shall be surveyed, and the construction plans should reflect the necessary improvements for each.
Once the strategy assignments are set within the system, the work assignments budget is generated for each work program on an annual basis. To forecast future maintenance needs, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each segment is projected to decline annually at a deterioration rate of approximately 2 to 3 PCI points per year. Likewise, maintenance activities performed in a given year increase the PCI va lue as they are applied to the segment. The overall program is dynamic in that each strategy consists of a cyclic series of actions that simulates the pavement section’s anticipated life cycle. However, if the PCI is rated 15 or lower, we do not apply a deterioration rate per year, as it is considered negligible for these failed street segments.
FIVE-YEAR ANNUAL WORK PROGRAM PROJECTIONS
The goal of these projections is to assist City’s policy makers in implementing the recommendations based on the current windshield survey. By using the City of Montebello’ current budgets and maintenance practices, the system develops “section unique” improvements and strategies.
Each segment is tied to a specific fiscal y ear. As shown below, the budget has been assessed and projected to meet the maintenance and rehabilitations needed to maximize the City’s return on investment:
Establishing a proactive 5-year Maintenance & Repair (M&R) program. Developing a preventative maintenance program; and
Selecting the most cost-effective repairs based on City strategies; and Dividing the City into five sections to lower mobilization costs in order to optimize the spending cost for slurry sealing.
A comprehensive selection process was conducted to identify street segments in greatest need of repair, ensuring equitable improvements across dist ricts in alignment with the City’s priorities outlined in Resolution No. 25-43. Priority was also given to construction-ready projects under SB1 funding for FY 2024–2025, with plans to extend over the next five fiscal years.

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REPORTS
In addition to the annual budget, this report contains a comprehensive and complementary assemblage of pavement management reports ranging from summary reports to annual maintenance and rehabilitation schedules. Collectively as well as individually, the reports represent reasonable projections of pavement maintenance needs and performance based on visual condition assessments, unit cost estimates, and pavement deterioration values.
It is important to note that pavement segment dimensions and surface area, along with the action and repair costs, as presented in the reports, are accurate within tolerable limits. This is noteworthy due to the "implied" accuracy of reporting length and width to the nearest foot, surface area to the nearest square foot, and action and repair unit costs and projected estimates to the nearest penny and dollar, respectively.
NEXT STEPS
City personnel should maintain their commitment to the preventive maintenance programs that are in place, while working toward reducing the City's present backlog of rehabilitation projects.
To ensure that report outputs are accurate and credible, it is essential that the integrity of all data files be maintained. This will require performing all necessary updates when changes are made to scheduling scenarios, unit cost information, historical data, etc. This will not only allow work to be scheduled based on the most current condition data available but will also provide City personnel with a means to monitor actual rates of pavement deterioration to include for the appropriate modifications into the system.

CONDITION DISTRIBUTION REPORT
This report graphically depicts the distribution of the pavement condition throughout the street network by area. The condition distribution ranges from “Very Poor” to “Very Good,” with a “Very Good” condition corresponding to a pavement at the beginning of its life cycle, and a “Very Poor” condition representing a severely deteriorated pavement with virtually no remaining life.
Exhibit 5, Exhibit 6, Exhibit 7, and Exhibit 8 show the various condition distribution charts.
The list below shows the general description for each pavement condition:
Condition Description
Very Good - No significant distress
Good – Some utility patches in good condition, or minor to moderate hairline cracks; typically, lightly weathered.
Fair - Light to moderate weathering, light load related base failure, moderate linear cracking.
Poor - Severely weathered, moderate levels of distress, moderate to heavy linear cracking.
Very Poor – Extensive weathering, moderate to severe base failure and extensive heavy linear cracking
PCI RANGE CONDITION
86 - 100 Very Good
75 - 85 Good
60 - 74 Fair

PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX (PCI) REPORT
Listed alphabetically by street name or PCI, this report provides the City with a listing of pertinent inventory and pavement condition data for each inventory unit within the City's pavement network. The Pavement Management System notes the names, limits, classification, dimension, surface type, and lane configuration of each inventory unit.
PCI – Pavement Condition Indexes were determined for the inventory based on severity and extent of distress observed from the windshield survey. Ranging between 0 and 100, a PCI of "100" corresponds to a pavement at the beginning of its life cycle, while a PCI of "0" corresponds to a severely deteriorate ed pavement which is at the end of its life cycle.
