BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Caltrans administers the Community Cleanup and Employment Pathway (CCEP) Grant Program, which is a key initiative under the Clean California Program. This grant program is designed to support litter abatement and public space beautification efforts on locally owned public righst-of-way while creating workforce development opportunities for individuals facing barriers to employment.

The focal point of this cleanup effort would be Lincoln Avenue between Avenida De La Merced and San Gabriel Boulevard. Part of a successful grant application is working with a local nonprofit organization. The City is coordinating with the Los Angeles Conservation Corp (LACC) to provide services. Working with LACC fosters community engagement and creates career pathways for individuals overcoming employment barriers. The proposal is to conduct targeted litter cleanup and graffiti removal activities, complemented by educational and engagement efforts that foster community pride and long-term maintenance.

The program emphasizes serving disadvantaged and underserved communities and encourages local commitment. The City’s focus, if selected to receive funding, will strongly emphasize equity and inclusion, prioritizing assistance to the unhoused while supporting pathways to community self-sufficiency. This program supports transformational programs which invest directly in communities that work to remove litter, create safety enhancements, beautify public spaces, and foster sustainable green initiatives.

Applications are due before the close of business on November 3, 2025.

Introduction

The Community Cleanup and Employment Pathway (CCEP) Grant Program is a signature initiative under the Clean California Program, administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). This grant program is designed to support litter abatement and public space beautification efforts on locally owned public right-of- way while creating workforce development opportunities for individuals facing barriers to employment.

Through competitive grants, the program provides funding to local agencies (including federally recognized tribal governments) to conduct targeted litter cleanup and graffiti removal activities, complemented by educational and engagement efforts that foster community pride and long-term maintenance. The program places strong emphasis on serving disadvantaged and underserved communities (as identified in Section 4.1 of grant application template) and encourages local commitment through participation in the Clean California Community designation pledge

1. A core component of this program is the creation of employment pathways through partnerships with workforce development organizations or use of existing employment development departments. These partnerships will connect justice- impacted individuals, those experiencing homelessness, at-risk youth, and others with meaningful job training and paid transitional employment opportunities focused on litter abatement, landscaping, and environmental stewardship.

Program Objectives

 Litter and Graffiti Abatement: Support sustained litter cleanup and graffiti removal on local right-of-way.

 Workforce Development: Create transitional employment and training opportunities for vulnerable populations either through partnerships with workforce development organizations or use of existing employment development departments.

 Equity and Inclusion: Prioritize disadvantaged communities and support pathways to community self-sufficiency.

 Sustainable Community Engagement: Promote public education and anti- littering campaigns. Take the online Clean California Community designation pledge to ensure sustainability and long-term impact.

By integrating cleanup, workforce development, and community engagement, the CCEP Grant Program seeks to create cleaner, safer, and more equitable public spaces throughout California.

Funding Mechanism

The funding mechanism for the CCEP proposals involves a restricted grant agreement (RGA) between the Caltrans district and the grant recipient (local agency, including federally recognized tribe) which is a legal mechanism that outlines the terms and conditions of the financial commitments for the awarded grant funding . It serves as a formal contract that establishes the roles and responsibilities of each party in the CCEP proposal.

The agreement includes the following elements:

 Proposal Scope: The RGA defines the scope of the proposal, detailing the specific improvements and enhancements to be undertaken within the local right-of-way.

 Funding Commitment: It outlines the financial contributions, specifying the amount that Caltrans will provide for the proposal and any in-kind contribution from the grant applicant.

 Timeline and Milestones: The agreement sets forth a clear timeline for proposal development, implementation, , and completion, including key milestones to be achieved during each phase.

 Roles and Responsibilities: It outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Caltrans district and the local agency in the proposal's execution, ensuring seamless coordination and cooperation.

 Compliance and Reporting: The RGA may include requirements for compliance with relevant regulations, reporting on proposal progress, and any necessary documentation and record-keeping.

 Dispute Resolution: In the event of any disputes or disagreements, the RGA may outline a mechanism for resolving issues between the Caltrans district and the local agency.

Matching Funds / In-Kind Contributions
The CCEP Grant Program is designed to reduce financial barriers for local agencies, nonprofits, and community-based organizations. As such, no cash match requirement is imposed on applicants. However, applicants are encouraged to identify and document in-kind contributions and other non-state resources that will help maximize the impact of state funds.

Eligible In-Kind Contributions may include:
 Staff time dedicated to project planning, implementation, or coordination.  Volunteer labor associated with cleanup events, outreach, or community engagement.
 Donated materials or equipment used directly in cleanup or beautification activities.
 Facilities and meeting space contributed for trainings, workforce activities, or project planning.
 Complementary programs or services provided by partner agencies or organizations that directly support grant objectives.

Program Expectations:
 In-kind contributions are not required to apply for or receive funding.  Applicants who provide in-kind support should quantify contributions where possible (e.g., estimated dollar value of staff time, equipment, or materials).  In-kind contributions will be considered during proposal evaluation as evidence of community commitment, partnership strength, and project sustainability.  Documentation of in-kind contributions should be included in the proposal budget narrative at the time of application and reported during proposal implementation.

ITEM # 17

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
Ramon Figueroa, Director of Human Resources

SUBJECT: ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN FUNDED VACANT POSITIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 OPERATING BUDGET

DATE: October 22, 2025

RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the elimination of certain funded vacant positions for Fiscal Year 2025- 26; and

2. Approve the updated Master Position Control (Attachment A); and,

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Master Position Control lists positions by classification for each department. The Master Position Control dictates what positions – and in certain circumstances how many of each classification – can be filled through an approved recruitment process. There are always vacancies across departments, based on department needs, the ability to recruit, and other factors. No public agency – especially one the size and complexity of Montebello – ever has a zero vacancy factor.

The salary and benefits budget for each fiscal year is developed using assumptions about whether certain vacant positions will be filled – if at all -- during the upcoming year. Over the last several years, as the City has improved service delivery by adding much needed positions across all departments, certain positions have remained vacant.

The updated Master Position Control (Attachment A) lists 14.0 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions to be eliminated. The fully burdened value of these positions – salary

Page 468 of 509 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 22, 2025

Page 2 of 4 ends

plus benefits – is approximately $1.748 million. Elimination of these positions will not impact service to the public, and will contribute to better management of overall salary and benefit expenses in this and future budgets.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City has been on the California State Auditor’s list of “high risk” agencies since 2018.

The 2024 update to the State Audit report focused on the few remaining items to be rectified in order to remove the City from the State’s “high-risk” designation list. One of the items refers broadly to the City’s financial condition. While tremendous strides have been made over the past six fiscal years to improve the City’s financial stability, there are always improvements to be made which can further strengthen the City’s financial standing.

One area of focus is to eliminate no longer needed and/or long-vacant full-time positions from the Master Position Control (Attachment A). There has been a thorough review by each Department of vacant positions and recommendations on which ones to eliminate without negatively impacting employees or services.

Applicable bargaining units have been notified of the proposed elimination of the vacant positions. Across all Departments, there are 14.0 vacant positions to be eliminated. The funding for these positions represents approximately $1.748 million in fully-burdened salary/benefits expenses in the General Fund.

Removing these vacant – and in a few cases never-filled – positions indicates the City’s commitment to right-sizing the organization. Services will not be impacted by the elimination of these positions. Furthermore, by this action, the City is committing to maintaining overall salary and benefits costs by focusing on funding only those positions deemed mission-critical. Moreover, none of the eliminated positions are public safety; no sworn Police or Fire positions are being eliminated.

ITEM # 18

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Joseph Palombi, Director of Planning & Community Development

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION DEFINING AND CONFIRMING CERTAIN

POLICIES TO BE IMPLEMENTED RELATING TO MONTEBELLO
MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 5.90 - COMMERCIAL CANNABIS

ACTIVITIES

DATE: October 22, 2025

RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-92 to confirm the City’s intent to cease accepting applications from any new potential cannabis operators and to establish and implement policies consistent with the provisions of Chapter 5.90 - Commercial Cannabis Activities of the Montebello Municipal Code (“MMC”); and

2. DETERMINE AND FIND that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption; and

3. Take such additional and/or related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

N/A

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On September 13, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2399 which amended the MMC to include Chapter 5.90 entitled Cannabis Cultivation, Manufacturing, Distribution, and Testing with a required Development Agreement and Conditional Use Permit.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 22, 2025

Page 2 of 3 ends

The purpose and intent of MMC Chapter 5.90 is to regulate the cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution, non-storefront retailer-delivery only, and microbusinesses of medicinal and adult-use cannabis and cannabis products, and the ancillary transportation and delivery of same, in a responsible manner to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Montebello (the “City”) and to enforce rules and regulations consistent with the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, and related laws, regulations, and policies issued by the State of California.

On June 12, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2404 amending the MMC to include Non-Storefront Retail Delivery along with Cultivation, Manufacturing, and Distribution as conditionally approved activities/uses in the M-1 and M-2 zones with an approved Development Agreement (DA) and also adding a sensitive use buffer of 600- feet from residential zones.

On February 13, 2019, the City Council held a public hearing and recommended the selection of potential cannabis operators for Phase 3 consideration and adoption of fees.

The City Council selected 24 potential operators and established a Conditional Use Permit filing due date of March 4, 2019, for said operators.

A total of 24 Conditional Use Permits were approved by the Planning Commission as part of the City’s cannabis program, all of which had executed development agreements. Of the 24 conditionally approved, on January 7, 2025, the City’s Planning Commission revoked two Conditional Use Permits due to the operators’ failure to comply with the Conditions of Approval and for failure to fulfill their obligations and commitments pursuant to their respective Development Agreements.

Of the 22 remaining cannabis operators, two (2) are active, current, and in good standing, thirteen (13) have either been suspended by the State or have failed to fulfill their obligations to the City, one (1) is currently under construction, and six (6) have been at a standstill with no measurable progress or good faith effort to advance the development or operation of their cannabis business.

Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed Resolution confirming the implementation of policies related to the City’s commercial cannabis program qualifies for a statutory exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption. This exemption applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

Since the adoption of a Resolution confirming the implementation of policies does not, in itself, result in any physical changes to the environment or authorize any specific development activity, it can be determined with certainty that the proposed action will not have a significant environmental impact. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 22, 2025

Page 3 of 3 ends

ANALYSIS:

Chapter 5.90 was established to set regulations for cannabis businesses that were looking to locate within the City of Montebello. This Chapter established the process by which applications were considered, reviewed, amended, as well as enforcement for the Ordinance.

It is requested that the City Council confirm a policy decision, pursuant to Section

5.90.050(B) - Application requirements; development agreement and conditional use permit required - to prohibit the acceptance of any new commercial cannabis applications. In addition, the City Council hereby establishes a policy to deny modifications to existing cannabis Conditional Use Permits and Development Agreements for any cannabis operator who meets any of the following criteria:
a. Has not fulfilled financial obligations to the City, including but not limited to payments stipulated in a Development Agreement;
b. Is not in compliance with all applicable local and state laws, regulations, and ordinances governing cannabis operations; or
c. Has failed to make measurable progress in the development or operation of the cannabis business, including but not limited to:
o Failure to submit tenant improvement plans within the required timeframe; o Submission of plans that have expired without renewal or resubmission; or o Lack of active construction or site development activity within a reasonable period as determined by the City.

SUMMARY:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-92, defining and confirming certain policies to be implemented relating to Chapter 5.90 – Commercial Cannabis Activities of the Montebello Municipal Code.

Additionally, staff recommends that the City Council determine the proposed project also qualifies for a Statutory Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption, as there is no possibility that the adoption of a resolution confirming the implementation of policies would result in a significant effect on the environment.

WHEREAS, the purpose and intent of MMC Chapter 5.90 is to regulate the cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution, non-storefront retailer-delivery only, and microbusinesses of medicinal and adult-use cannabis and cannabis products, and the ancillary transportation and delivery of same, in a responsible manner to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Montebello (the “City”) and to enforce rules and regulations consistent with the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, and related laws, regulations, and policies issued by the State of California.; and

Of the 24 conditionally approved permits, on January 7, 2025, the City’s Planning Commission revoked two Conditional Use Permits due to the operators’ failure to comply with the Conditions of Approval and for failure to fulfill their obligations and commitments pursuant to their respective Development Agreements; and
WHEREAS, of the 22 remaining cannabis operators, two (2) are active, current, and in good standing, thirteen (13) have either been suspended by the State or have failed to fulfill their obligations to the City, one (1) is currently under construction, and six (6) have been at a standstill with no measurable progress or good faith effort to advance the development or operation of their cannabis business; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to confirm its intent to cease accepting applications from any new potential cannabis operators and to establish and implement policies consistent with the provisions of MMC, Chapter 5.90, including, but not limited to reject any request from any current licensed operator to transfer or change in ownership or location of their Conditional Use Permit and/or Development Agreement, as set forth herein.
