ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The Resolution itself and the actions anticipated by the Resolution were reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Based upon that review, this action is exempt from furt her review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15269(a) because the protection of public and private property is necessary to maintain service essential to the public, health and welfare.
1 Action Taken: The City Council a dopted Resolution No. 2022-R1 ratifying certain actions completed by the City Manager regarding COVID-19 Pandemic, continue to extend the existence of a local emergency and authorize public meetings via teleconferencing on Consent Calendar.
Resolution No. 2022-R1, entitled:
A RESOLUTION RATIFYING CERTAIN ACTIONS COMPLETED BY THE CITY MANAGER; EXTENDING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY; AND
AUTHORIZING PUBLIC MEETINGS VIA TELECONFERENCING
3E. CITY HALL FIRE ALARM PANEL REPLACEMENT
The existing City Hall fire alarm panel is unreliable. It is currently maintained by Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP (Johnson Controls) which is the only supplier for the system. Based upon information from Johnson Controls, it is apparent that parts and software are no longer av ailable for the existing system; it requires a routine upgrade with a replacement panel.
Infrastructure for the fire alarm remains in place and is proprietary with Johnson Control’s equipment. Maintaining the fire panel is contemplated as part of the scope of work in the contract with Johnson Control; the cost needed to upgrade the fire panel, however, was not included within the contract amount. If authorized by the City Council, Johnson Controls will upgrade the City’s Simplex 4100+ panel with a 4100ES and ensure that existing smoke detectors remain operable. The proposed work will likely be completed within 12 weeks of approval. A budget appropriation of $112,000 is needed from the City’s General Fund balance for the additional maintenance costs.
Action Taken: The City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an Amendment, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to the Fire Alarm System Maintenance Agreement with Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP in the amount of $136,000; and appropriated an additional $112,000 from the General Fund balance to replace the existing City Hall fire alarm panel on Consent Calendar.
1 CEQA findings regarding an anticipated imminent emergency are valid (see CalBeach Advocates v. City of Solana Beach (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 529).

January 19, 2022
3F. PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENTS FOR ON- CALL GENERAL
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Staff recommends executing on-call professional services agreements with KOA Corporation, Transtech Engineers, RKA Consulting and Valued Engineering. Three out of the four firms have previously been under contract with the City to assist staff in delivering the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) pr ojects on an as - needed basis, as well as the occasional temporary staffing needs. These firms have provided exceptional services which include civil, structural, geotechnical, traffic engineering, land surveying, building and landscape architecture services. The fourth firm is a highly qualified and experienced Engineering firm deemed suitable to meet the City’s needs. Individual task orders assigned to each firm will not exceed $60,000, however multiple task orders may be issued.
Action Taken: The City Council authorized the City Manager, or designee, to execute 3-year professional service agreements, with KOA Corporation, Transtech Engineers, RKA Consulting, and Valued Engineering to provide On-Call Engineering Services, in a form approved by the City Attorney on Consent Calendar.

1B. LEGAL SERVICES AGGREMENT WITH LEHAVI STARGARDTER, LLP.
The City retained Ms. Limor Lehavi in 2019 for special counsel work (insurance coverage) in the Starstone litigation matter. This stems from federal litigation between the reinsurance company for ICRMA (Starstone National Insurance Company), ICRMA, the City of Alhambra, and the City of Monterey Park. Underlying that case is the 2018 settlement agreement between the City of Alhambra and City of Monterey Park where Alhambra agreed to take 100% of the liability stemming from the collision of two firetrucks belonging to Alhambra and Monterey Park. The City Attorney’s office was informed in December 2021 that Ms. Lehavi was forming her own firm. The proposed retainer agreement would ensure her continued representation for the City.
Carried over from the open session of the January 19, 2022, 5:30 p.m. special meeting.

California law requires counties and cities to prepare and adopt a housing element as part of its General Plan. The Housing Element must provide goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs to preserve, improve, and develop housing. Additionally, the Housing Element must identify and analyze existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community .
Separately, the Safety and Community Services Element is being updated to bring the General Plan into compliance with current California law.
The Government Code requires the City to add an Environmental Justice Element when the City Council concurrentl y updates two or more General Plan Elements.
The Environmental Justice Element includes goals, policies, and objectives that aim to reduce health risks to any identified disadvantaged communities, promote civic engagement, and prioritize the needs of disadvantaged communities.
In accordance with these mandates, the City prepared the required documents, conducted public outreach and is now submitting to the City Council for its consideration.

The City prepared a comprehensive update to the Housing Element, a revision of the existing Safety and Community Services Element, and drafted a new Environmental Justice Element to the City of Monterey Park General Plan (collectively, the “Project).

January 19, 2022
(“CEQA”). Consequently, an Addendum was drafted for City Council consideration in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15164 and is incorporated as Exhibit 1 to the draft Resolution. I f adopted, the Resolution would approve the Addendum to the FEIR for purposes of analyzing the Project.
