SUBJECT: Professional Service Agreement with SA Associates for On-Call Engineering Services
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Authorizing the City Manager, to execute a 3-year professional service agreement, with SA Associates to provide On-Call Engineering Services, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff recommends executing an on-call professional services agreement with SA Associates for General Engineering Services. SA Associates was previously under contract with the City, in which it provided both engineering and inspection services for various Capital Improvement Projects. While multiple task orders may be issued under the agreement, individual task orders will not exceed $60,000 each.
BACKGROUND:
The Engineering Division is responsible for completing projects in the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The list of budgeted CIP projects may include street, sewer, water, park, and building improvements and/or equipment upgrades requested by various city departments. The Engineering Division typically takes the lead in coordinating with each department, preparing bid specifications, administering the contracts, and managing construction. Additionally, the Engineering division addresses emergency projects and day-to-day tasks such as issuing public works permits, providing inspections, responding to all traffic-related issues, and attending to the public counter.
To best serve the community and address different priorities, the City contracts with pre- approved engineering firms, such as SA Associates, on an as-needed basis to provide engineering services such as preparation of engineered design drawings, construction specifications, cost estimates, construction management, project management, traffic engineering support, plan checking, inspection services and any related municipal engineering support.
The City’s previous on-call services agreement with SA Associates expired in 2021. The Public Works Department is requesting the City enter into a new agreement to continue to work with this qualified firm. SA Associates previous service to the City included, Consent Calendar - 3F

without limitation, inspection of the Centralized Groundwater Treatment System (CGTS) at the Delta plant ; preparation of plans and specifications for Water & Sewer Improvements; assistance with Sidewalk Improvements at East LA College and the Langley Center; and inspections services.

SA Associates staff is familiar with Monterey Park’s projects, processes, and community needs. If approved, SA Associates will support the City to implement multiple Capital Improvement Projects for the water and sewer divisions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Services from SA Associates will be provided on an as-needed basis and paid out of the specific Capital Improvement Project budget as they are assigned. The firm’s proposal and rate schedule is included with this staff report.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: June 01, 2022
AGENDA ITEM NO:
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anthony Antich, Interim Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution Identifying a Public Works Street Maintenance Project to be Included in the FY 2022-23 Budget and Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Adopting a resolution identifying a street maintenance project to be included in the FY 2022-23 budget and funded with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) funds, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and
2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 address es the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfall statewide. As of November 2017, portions of SB 1 revenues are deposited into a Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) and made available to eligible cities and counties, which must comply with RMRA funding requirements as determined by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
RMRA funds made available for the Local Streets and Roads Funding Program are prioritized for expenditure on basic road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, and on critical safety projects. The CTC provided a number of example projects and uses for RMRA funding that include, but are not limited to, the following : Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation, Safety Projects, Railroad Grade Separations , Complete Streets Components (including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project), and Traffic Control Devices.
BACKGROUND:
The most recent State estimates for FY 2022-23 project Monterey Park will receive $1,376,342 in RMRA funds. In order to be eligible to receive these funds, agencies must submit a proposed project list to the CTC by July 1, 2022, along with budget support documentation including the council meeting minutes and/or resolution of the City Council committing to the project list. This year, project lists are due July 1, 2022.
The proposed capital improvement project includes the resurfacing of various local streets as identified in the City’s Pavement Management Study, listed in the resolution. Staff Consent Calendar - 3G
Staff Report
June 1, 2022
reviewed the study and selected those street segments that would most benefit from a rehabilitation project based on their current conditions. Once the resolution is adopted and submitted, staff may begin the design. Once plans and specifications are complete construction of the project may be expected in the Summer of 2023. Rehabilitation can include isolated repairs and patching, concrete items such as sidewalk and ramp repairs, but is primarily grinding and overlay of the roadway surface with asphalt concret e and asphalt rubber hot mix.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As the City’s budget process for
FY 2022-23 is now underway, the adoption of the
resolution to include the capital improvement project in the upcoming budget and funded with RMRA funds will allow the City to receive the RMRA funding for street rehabilitation projects, and help the City improve the overall quality of the roadway system.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tim Shay, Support Services Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Updating User Fees and Charges RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Opening the public hearing for updating Master Fees and Charges;
2. After considering the testimonial and documentary evidence, adopting a Resolution for Citywide user fees and charges; and
3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council’s previously adopted Master Fee Schedules, most recently on September 15, 2021. Fees established by such resolutions are automatically adjusted on an annual basis on July 1 of each year by applying the percent change of the Los Angeles Area of Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the prior 12- month period ending on April 30 to the City’s costs for administering the services. The attached Resolution for City Council consideration is to adopt all user fees – both existing fees and new fees provided to the City Council during the public hearing process.
BACKGROUND:
Cities traditionally provide a range of municipal services for members of the community including constructing public facilities, providing recreational activities, and providing public safety services. The cost for such services is generally paid for through various sources of tax revenue including property tax and sales tax.
The cost of specialized services, however, is generally paid for by persons who use such services. Without charging user fees for these services, local government would be required to decrease funding of other, more traditional, public services that are utilized by a broader range of the public as police protection, animal control, street maintenance, park facilities and open space.
The amount of user fees must be carefully balanced: if charges are too high, e.g., if the fee amount exceeds the cost of providing the service, the fee may constitute a special tax Public Hearing - 4A

that (absent voter approval) cannot be collected (see, Cal. Const., art XIIIC, §1(e)). Charge too little for such services, and the City will be unable to fully recover its costs.
The law does not require
mathematical certainty in calculating fees; it only
requires a reasonable relationship between the cost of service and the fee amount.
There may be instances where a city finds that subsidizing the cost of certain services makes sense. For example, user fees for recreational activities may be less than full cost recovery since those services generally serve the public good. In contrast, it may be in the public interest to charge fees that ensure full cost recover for private development projects. The assumption in the fee amounts recommended by staff is that the cost of service benefiting individuals, and not the public in general, should be borne by the individual receiving the benefit. Setting user fees, therefore, is substantially similar to establishing prices for services.
For 2022-23 existing user fees and charges are proposed to be increased by up to 8.3% using the CPI for All Urban Consumers for the prior 12-month period ending on April 30. The new fees have been calculated with a reasonable relationship between the cost of service and the fee amount.
To any fee adjustment, a municipality must hold at least one public hearing, and publish notice of the hearing 10 days before the public hearing. Pursuant to Government Code § 66017, all fees related to the Economic and Community Development of the City set forth by resolution will become effective 60 days after adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded. All other fees and charges will become effective upon adopting a resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as of result of adopting the Master Fee Schedule.

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A FEE SCHEDULE TO RECOVER COSTS
INCURRED FROM PROVIDING VARIOUS PUBLIC SERVICES.
The City Council of the City of Monterey Park does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follow:
A. The City Council may establish fees for services under various provisions of California law including, without limitation, Business & Professions Code § 16000; Government Code §§ 54344, 65104, 65909.5, 65943, 66013, 66014, 66451.2; and Health & Safety Code §§ 17951, 17980.1, and 19852; B. Pursuant to Government Code § 66016, the City made data available regarding the cost, or estimated cost, of providing certain municipal services for the proposed user fees 10 days before the public hearing held on June 1, 2022;
C. On June 1, 2022, the City Council heard public testimony and considered evidence in a public hearing held and noticed in accordance with Government Code §§ 66016 and 66018; and
D. After careful consideration, including a review of the documentary and testimonial evidence submitted during the public hearing, the City Council finds that the user fees adopted by this Resolution are in the public interest to recover the costs of certain municipal services.
SECTION 2: The Fees, attached as Exhibit “A,” and incorporated into this Resolution as if fully set forth, are approved and adopted.
SECTION 3: Unless otherwise revised, the fees established by this Resolution will be automatically adjusted on an annual basis on July 1 of each year by applying the percent change of the Los Angeles Area of Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the prior 12 month period ending on April 30 to the City’s costs for administering the services set forth in Exhibit “A.” The first fee adjustment cannot be made before a minimum of nine months after the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 4: This Resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, modifies, structures, restructures, and approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses; purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service areas. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines § 15273.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: June 1, 2022
AGENDA ITEM NO:
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Martha Garcia, Director of Management Services
SUBJECT: The City is required to conduct a Public Hearing to consider assessments for the Citywide Maintenance District No. 93-1 for Fiscal Year 2022-23 pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §§ 22500, et seq.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Opening the public hearing and receive documentary and testimonial evidence;
2. Closing the public hearing and adopt a Resolution authorizing the Levy and Collection of Assessments for Fiscal Year 2022-23 in Citywide Maintenance District No. 93-1 pursuant to Streets and Highways Code § 22587; and
3. Taking such additional, related action that may be desirable.
CEQA:
The proposed action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, modifies, structures, restructures, and approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses; purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service areas. The proposed action, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines § 15273.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 1993 the City formed a citywide benefit assessment district to finance the operation and maintenance of public street lighting and landscaping. The assessment was renewed each of the past 29 years and must be renewed for 2022-23 in order for the City to continue collecting assessments. The City started the process to renew its Citywide Maintenance District No. 93-1 for the 2022-23 fiscal year at its April 20, 2022 meeting. At that time, the City Council approved the Engineer's Report; adopted the Resolu tion of Intention (Resolution No. 2022-R21) and scheduled the required public hearing for June 1, 2022.
Public Hearing - 4B
Staff Report
June 1, 2022
The district renewal will follow the City Council’s action at the conclusion of the June 1 st
public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
In 1993, the State implemented Education Revenue Augmentation (ERAF) transfer that shifts property tax revenues from local governments to schools. The City’s loss from ERAF was $1.2 million. In 1993, after considering various options to balance the budget, the City formed a benefit assessment district pursuant to the 1972 Lighting and Landscaping Act (Streets & Highways Code §§ 22500, et seq.). Assessment revenues are used to pay for the costs for maintaining street lighting and public landscaping. The funds freed up by the assessment revenues are used to maintain essential City services such as police, fire, public works, recreation, and library.
The law requires the City to renew the assessments each year. Revenue generated by the City’s assessment district is approximately $1,026 ,920 a year. The City has renewed the benefit assessment district every year for the past 29 years. During this time, the rate has only been increased once, in 1996 (from $39.97 to $40.97). Since 1996, the rates have not been adjusted and the City continues using General-Fund monies to supplement significant shortfalls that result from increased operating costs.
At its April 20, 2022 meeting, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention (Resolution No. 2022-R21) which, among other things, proposes an assessment per single-family home of $40.97 for 2022-23. The cost for the operation and maintenance of the City’s landscaping and lighting is approximately $1.4 million. The benefit assessment district will fund $1,026,920 of the cost and the City’s General Fund will cover the remaining $409,654.
The Resolution of Intention, which includes the public hearing date and protest procedures, was published in the Monterey Park Press on May 16, 2022. To date, no majority protest was received against the proposed assessment district renewal for 2022-23.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed assessment rates for 2022-23 are the same as they were for 2021-22. The benefit assessment district will raise approximately $1,026,920 for 2022-23. If the assessment district is not renewed, the City must reduce expenditures and/or seek new revenues to balance the budget.

D. Following a public hearing, the City Council did not receive a majority protest from the property owners affected by the proposed assessment before the close of the public hearing on June 1, 2022.
SECTION 2: In accordance with Streets and Highways Code §§ 22500, et seq., the City Council adopts an annual assessment of $40.97 for each Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) within the District during Fiscal Year 2022-23. The assessments levied and collected must be used for maintaining certain landscaping and street lighting improvements, as set forth in the Report.
SECTION 3: All monies collected for such assessments must be deposited in a special fund known as "Special Fund City of Monterey Park Citywide Maintenance District No. 93-1." Payment may be made out of said fund only for the purpose provided for in this Resolution.

SECTION 5: Any public property included within boundaries of the District are exempt from assessment.
Resolution No.
SECTION 6: Severability.
