SUBJECT: Extending a Local Emergency for the Goodviews Abatement Project (“GAP”)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Extending the local emergency for the GAP pursuant to Section 3 of Resolution No. 2022-R101 (adopted December 21, 2022) to July 1, 2023; and
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On December 21, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-R101 that extended the GAP local emergency until March 1, 2023; that emergency was subsequently extended in a series of City Council actions until June 1, 2023.
On May 10, 2023, the City’s project manager informed the City Manager and City Attorney that the contractor, C.A. Rasmussen, requested additional time to complete the GAP based upon delays from the 2023 winter storms. Completion is now estimated for the end of June.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Resolution Nos. (collectively, the “Emergency Resolutions”) 12255 (adopted June 16, 2021); 2022-R22 (adopted April 20, 2022); 2022-R34 (adopted May 18, 2022); 2022-R63 (adopted August 1, 2022); 2022-R101 (adopted December 21, 2022); and by minute orders from March 1, 2023 and April 5, 2023, the City Manager and City Attorney are exercising emergency powers to abate a public nuisance in accordance with the Settlement Agreement in the civil case captioned The People of the State of California, ex rel., Mark D. Hensley, City Attorney for the City of Monterey Park v. Center Int’l Investments, Inc., et al. (filed December 31, 2015) LASC Case No. BC605788. This is identified as the Goodviews Abatement Project (“GAP”). The Emergency Resolutions allow the City Council to extend the local emergency by minute order, i.e., without the need for a written resolution.

Staff Report
May 17, 2023
The GAP is still behind its original schedule because of the winter storms. As a result, the engineer’s revised estimate for completion is now end of June; it is recommended that the emergency be extended until July 1, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact directly associated with the recommended action. All costs associated with the GAP are well document including, without limitation, in the abatement liens recorded against the real property.

FROM: Ron Bow, City Manager & Director of Emergency Services SUBJECT: Adopt a resolution terminating 2023 Winter Storms local emergency RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Adopting a resolution terminating 2023 Winter Storms local emergency; and
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
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 further 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
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 18, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-R5 which confirmed the existence of a local emergency related to the 2023 Winter Storms. Resolution No. 2023-R5 authorized the City Manager to undertake all actions needed to preserve public health and safety in accordance with applicable law.
The conditions of emergency no longer exist. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council terminate the local emergency, effective immediately.
BACKGROUND:
On January 4, 2023, the Governor declared a statewide emergency because of the multiple Winter Storms sweeping over California. The President of the United States subsequently issued a federal declaration of emergency on January 8, 2023 for the same 1 CEQA findings regarding an anticipated imminent emergency are valid (see CalBeach Advocates v. City of Solana Beach (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 529).

reasons. In response, on January 12, 2023, the City Manager signed an administrative declaration of emergency (the “Declaration”). The Declaration was effective January 8 th
and responded to conditions resulting from heavy rainfall associated with multiple Winter Storms starting on or about January 3, 2023. The City Manager issued the administrative declaration following a statewide declaration of emergency by the Governor of California and a federal declaration of emergency issued by the President.
Declaring a local emergency provided flexibility to the City for rapidly responding to any potential crisis. At this time, the conditions of emergency no longer exist.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There were no significant fiscal impacts.

FROM: Joseph Torres, Economic Development Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement 2231-AA with Colu Technologies for the software licensing of Monterey Park Rewards shop local app program RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an Amendment to Agreement 2231-AA with Colu Technologies, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the extension of the software licensing agreement for the Monterey Park Rewards Program, an innovative shop local app incentive program, through December 31, 2023.
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In April 2021, the City signed a software licensing agreement with Colu Technologies to help launch the Monterey Park Rewards program using digital technology to spur economic recovery for our small business community during and post-pandemic. The Monterey Park Rewards app is a digital shop and dine local program that uses smartphones to leverage the power of our local community. With $1 earned for every $10 spent, we believe funneling money back to our residents and visitors from neighboring cities incentivizes them to continue shopping and dining locally. The City pays that $1 earned to keep the participating merchants whole. The program creates a sense of civic pride and leverages the power of our communities to spur economic growth by promoting a circular economy.
The Colu Technologies software licensing agreement expires on June 1, 2023. Staff are requesting City Council approve an Amendment to Professional Services Agreement 2231-AA with Colu Technologies to extend the agreement from June 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, after which the Monterey Park Rewards program itself will expire.
City Council approval is requested, as the agreement extension increases the total value of the agreement beyond the City Manager’s authorized amount of $60,000.
BACKGROUND:
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, small business owners braced for what seemed like a short-term inconvenience. But as the pandemic dragged on, many small businesses in our community were operating at limited capacity or have closed their doors completely.
Although the federal, state, and county agencies were quick to provide business assistance during the pandemic, those resources were limited. It has become more Consent Calendar - 3H

critical than ever for the City to help support our local businesses, with an emphasis on many of our retail businesses that have struggled. Given the City’s limited resources, we knew the best way to support our local businesses was to leverage the power of our community and develop and implement a shop and dine local program. However, we wanted to stay away from the traditional shop local program, such as discount cards and punch cards. The pandemic was already putting significant financial burdens on our small businesses, so the last thing the City wanted them to do was to discount their products and services. We also did not want to have a shop local program that businesses would have to actively manage, because we knew they were busy enough just trying to keep their doors open. Consequently, the City launched the smartphone app-driven Monterey Park Rewards Program in November 2021. Since then, the program has achieved a lot of traction, generating more than $400,000 in local transactions , achieving the circular economic growth it was designed to do, as shown in Appendix A.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Partial funds for this Amendment have been included in the City’s fiscal year 2022-2023 budget. Additional funds needed for the Amendment will be included in the City’s fiscal year 2023-2024 budget. Funds are allocated and paid out of the Economic Development Division budget.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the designs for the playgrounds located at Bella Vista, Garvey Ranch Park, Highlands, and Sequoia Parks;
2. Approve a purchase order for Superior Recreation Products to procure playground equipment in the amount of $869,551.32; and
3. Taking such additional, related action that may be desirable.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The proposed projects are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Recreation and Community Services staff have been working with playground providers to develop themed play structure designs to be installed at Bella Vista, Garvey Ranch, Highlands, and Sequoia Parks. Department staff wants to improve the residents’ experience by providing themed playgrounds that will encourage users to visit various parks in the City. The unique designs will also enhance the usage of playground users’ imagination and foster interaction between the youth in the community.
After working with playground providers on design themes, staff presented playground concepts at the February Recreation & Parks Commission meeting to gain input and feedback from Commissioners. Following the Feb ruary Recreation and Parks Commission meeting, staff worked to develop the design themes with the commissioner’s comments and to meet the approved design and construction budget .
At the May 1, 2023 , Recreation and Parks Commission meeting, staff presented updated designs for the Commission to vote on. The Recreation and Parks Commission voted unanimously to recommend proceeding with the theme designs provided by Zoom Recreation/Superior Recreational Products.

Zoom Recreation is Superior Recreational Products’ California playground dealer. City staff identified BuyBoard as a company that has an agreement with Superior Recreational Products for procurement of its playground equipment. The play pieces will include recycled materials with 26,000 pounds of post-consumer recycled plastic, all of which are Green Circle certified. The BuyBoard agreement will allow staff to purchase playground pieces at the lowest price available, including all custom pieces.
BACKGROUND:
The Bella Vista, Garvey Ranch, Highlands, and Sequoia Park playground projects include removing the old playground equipment; site preparation; concrete work; installation of playground equipment; and installation of specialized rubberized surfacing. The new pla yground equipment will be installed in the existing playground location.
Monterey Park Municipal Code § 3.20.050 (2) allows City Council to approve the purchase of items when the supply can be obtained from only one vendor , or there are circumstances demonstrating that only one vendor is best qualified to provide the supplies. Zoom Recreation/S uperior Recreational Products demonstrated that its uniquely themed pl ayground designs, including custom pieces, can only be purchased from that company. City staff has also identified BuyBoard as a company with an agreement for procurement of the Zoom Recreation/Superior Recreational Products playground equipment with pre-negotiated costs. A review of the BuyBoard agreement, compared to the State of California Mult iple Award Schedule (CMAS) purchasing agreement, shows that the City may purchase the selected playground pieces from Zoom Recreation/Superior Recreational Products at the lowest price available.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the design themes and a purchase order to procure playground equipment from Zoom Recreation/Super ior Recreational Products utilizing the discounted pricing provided by the BuyBoard agreement. The request is for the playground equipment procurement only, and it includes the theme playgrounds located at Bell a Vista Park (5-12-year-old age category), Garvey Ranch Park (Two separate playgrounds, both 2-12-year-old age category), Highlands Park (Two separate playgrounds, one 2-5-year-old age category, and one 5-12-year-old age category), Sequoia Park (2-12-year-old age category). Staff will separately advertise a public works contract for the site preparation, which includes grading, concrete work, and installation of playground equipment.
The purchase method is permitted per Monterey Park Municipal Code § 3.20.050(2).
This method allows the purchase of items when the supply can be obtained from only one vendor, or there are circumstances demonstrating that only one vendor is best qualified to p rovide the supplies. The the med playground equipment is unique to th e vendor Superior Recreational Products and their California representative, Zoom Recreation. Furthermore, this method will help the City save time and cost.
Staff Report
May 17, 2023
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project is included in the FY 2022-23 adopted budget and will be funded with ARPA funds in the amount of $1,700, 000.

After equipment installation bids are finalized, staff will return to the City Council to request authorization to award the construction contract and establish the final project cost, including installation.

It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to apply for, receive, and appropriate grant funds for the Clean California Local Grant Program; and
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Clean California Local Grant Program provides competitive grants of up to $5 million to local communities to support capital projects that beatify and improve streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, and transit centers. The ultimate goal is to restore pride in California’s public spaces.
If adopted, the proposed resolution would authorize the City Manager, or designee, to apply for the Clean California Local Grant Program, to execute the grant agreement, and to implement a budget amendment if the City is awarded funds. The deadline to apply is May 31, 2023, funds will be awarded in the fall of 2023 and the project completion date is June 30, 2026.
BACKGROUND:
The Clean California Local Grant Program is a competitive grant program for local communities looking to beautify and improve local streets, parks, paths and transit facilities. The grant program funds both infrastructure improvements and non- infrastructure campaigns focused on community litter and abatement and education.
Staff worked to identify several potential infrastructure projects that would qualify for this grant. Parks restrooms were identified as a high priority project which meets the grant requirements. Although agencies may apply for up to $5 million in grant funding, staff anticipates that the City’s total request will be for $3 million dollars.

AGENDA ITEM NO:
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Agreement for the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program and Watershed Management Plan for the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area for Fiscal Years 2024 - 2026 RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to cooperatively share costs in the implementation of the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program and Watershed Management Plan for the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area for Fiscal Years 2024 - 2026; and
2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed action under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). The action is categorically exempt from additional environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §§15262, 15306, 15307, and 15308. The project consists of comprehensive data collection efforts to monitor water quality in downstream receiving waters. The purpose of the project is to determine if possible actions are necessary to protect natural resources and the environment.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 18, 2015, Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LA Regional Board) approved the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) that Monterey Park, along with 18 other jurisdictions in the Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) group, had submitted to the Regional Board for review. On April 20, 2016, the Regional Board also approved the Watershed Management Plan (WMP) that the ULAR group had also submitted. The ULAR group is required to implement the CIMP and WMP.

The CIMP and WMP Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is a cost-sharing agreement to perform and coordinate the monitoring and reporting services required per the CIMP as well as certain planning and reporting services per the WMP. The previous CIMP and WMP MOA will expire on June 30, 2023. Staff is requesting the City Counc il’s approval to enter into a new 3-year agreement with 18 other jurisdictions. Monterey Park’s cost share is $25,626 for FY 23-24, $2 4,809 for FY 24-25, and $29, 610 for FY 25-26, for a total cost of $80,045 over three years.
BACKGROUND:
On November 6, 2013, the City Council approved Monterey Park’s participation in the City of Los Angeles' (City of LA) collaborative effort to develop the CIMP and WMP to comply with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) permit that w as adopted by the Regional Board. The collaboration with the City of LA includes Monterey Park along with 18 other jurisdictions (table below).
On June 26, 2014, the ULAR group submitted the CIMP to the Regional Board for their review and the Regional Board approved the plan on N ovember 18, 2015. A revised CIMP was submitted to the Regional Board on March 13, 2023 as required by the MS4 Permit. The ULAR group also submitted the WMP to the Regional Board for review in March 2015 and the Regional Board approved the plan on April 20, 2016. A revised WMP was submitted to the Regional Board on June 28, 2021 as required by the MS4 Permit. Each jurisdiction’s cost share is based on the percentage of land area that discharges into the ULAR Watershed Management Area.
On February 3, 2016, t he City Council approved a 3-year CIMP and W MP MOA in the amount of $125,611 for Fiscal Years 2016 – 2018. On May 5, 2018, the City Council approved a 5-year CIMP and WMP MOA in the amount of $80,464 for Fiscal Years 2019- 2023. The ULAR group has proposed a new 3-year MOA for continued monitoring (CIMP) and non-monitoring (WMP) tasks. For Fiscal Years 2024 – 2026, the City’s cost share for the CIMP and WMP services is $56,247 and $19,242 respectively. In addition, the ULAR group coordinates with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) as the 20
th jurisdiction to perform WMP-related tasks, oversee the MOA, and provide administrative support to the ULAR group . The City’s cost share for SGVCOG services for Fiscal Years 2024 – 2026 is $4,556. The City's total cost share for Fiscal Years 2024-2026 for CIMP, WMP, and SGVCOG fees is $80,045. The table below lists the jurisdictions that compose the ULAR group:
City of Los Angeles City of Rosemead
City of Alhambra City of San Fernando
City of Burbank City of San Gabriel
City of Calabasas City of San Marino
City of Glendale City of South El Monte
City of Hidden Hills City of South Pasadena
City of La Canada Flintridge City of Temple City
Staff Report

City of Montebello Los Angeles Flood Control District
City of Monterey Park County of Los Angeles
City of Pasadena San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
The scope of work for the CIMP includes installation , maintenance, and monitoring of sampling sites to determine level s of contamination of storm water discharges into the watershed area. The scope of work for the WMP includes reporting and compliance planning to meet requirements of the MS4 Permit. The CIMP and WMP are highly technical programs: The cost for the City to undertak e this effort alone would be much higher than a collaborated effort with other jurisdictions.
Monterey Park contracts with John L . Hunter & Associates (JLHA) to assist with its MS4 permit compliance, including its current participation in the WMP and CIM P. JLHA has assisted the City throughout the MOA process and will continue to represent Monterey Park at ULAR group meetings and activities, and provide technical guidance for storm water related activities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City’s cost share to participate in the proposed CIM P and WMP MOA is $25,626 for FY 23-24, $24,809 for FY 24-25, and $29, 610 for FY 25-26, for a total cost of $80, 045 over three years. Funds for the first-year costs have been included in the proposed FY23- 24 budget as part of the City’s NPDES program.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: May 17, 2023
AGENDA ITEM NO:
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Receive and File Staff Report Summarizing the Status of Emergency Repairs of the Monterey Pass Road Water Line
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Receive and File the staff report summarizing the status of emergency repairs of the Monterey Pass Road water line; and
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
BACKGROUND:
On August 17, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-R69 authorizing the City Manager to take necessary measures for emergency repair of a water main line on Monterey Pass Road. Recurring water main leaks in several areas within Monterey Pass Road between the intersections of Vagabond Drive and Brightwood street resulted in extensive infrastructure damage to the roadway and necessary water main pipe repairs to ensure continued water service to residences and businesses in the area.
The design phase was completed in December 2022 followed by research of available material and cost during the months of December and January to ensure the project could be expedited due to the significant material delivery delays. Construction started on March 2023 and is scheduled to be complete by October 2023.
As part of the City’s outreach efforts, the construction manager visited business along the project area prior to the start of the project to notify them of the upcoming construction.
The Economic Development Division also mailed out letters to businesses that may be impacted by this project. Message boards were placed within the project area prior to construction commencing to alert drivers of the impact to their commutes. The City will continue to provide project updates to the community for the duration of the project through the City website, social media, and City Council meetings. A dedicated webpage has been established on the city’s website as, www.Montereypark.ca.gov/Montereypass, to inform the public about the project and provide progress updates. Residents and businesses can also sign up to receive project updates by subscribing to NIXLE, by texting "MPSS" to 888777.

New Business - 5A
Staff Report
May 17, 2023
At this time, there are two projects that applied for a time extension before the April 1, 2023 deadline:
1. TM-17-01 – subdivision of one lot into four lots for the construction of four new single-family dwelling units; and
2. TM-18-01 and CUP -18-01 – subdivision and development of a 40-unit senior housing complex at 130-206 S. Chandler Avenue.
Pursuant to Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) § 20.04.120(c), the City Council may “approve, conditionally approve or deny extension requests” with the total time of extensions not exceeding six years from the initial expiration. Additionally, MPMC §
21.32.160 allows the City Council to extend time limitations of conditional use permits not to exceed one year without a public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
Tentative Map No. 71473 (TM-17-01) - SWC Orange Avenue/Pepper Street On February 6, 2023, Paul Cheung of Goldstar Development Inc., applied for a one-year time extension for TM-17-01 to subdivide one lot into four lots at the southeast corner of South Orange Avenue and Pepper Street (Attachment 1). The property is zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential) and is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) in the General Plan.
Originally, on June 26, 2018, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 10-18 approving TM-17-01, which provided two years to record the final map. On June 20, 2020, the Applicant filed a written extension application with the City Planner and the one-year extension was granted by City Council on August 19, 2020. Other Council actions including Resolution No. 12164, and Ordinance No. 2219, extended the expiration of TM- 17-01 until April 1, 2023.
Because the final map requires a subdivision improvement agreement (which the City Council must consider), the Engineering Division anticipates that the final map will be presented to the City Council in June of 2023. The applicant also submitted an anticipated schedule for the project to begin grading in June 2023 with an anticipated completion by December 2023.
This is the second one-year extension requested by the Applicant. The request for the tentative map extension does not exceed a total of six years from the initial expiration date which is consistent with MPMC § 20.04.120(c). If approved, the deadline for TM- 17-01 will extend to April 1, 2024.
Tentative Map No. 73741 (TM-18-01) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP-18-01); On February 22, 2022, Kenny Gao of Latigo Canyon Development, LLC, applied for a
Staff Report
May 17, 2023
one-year time extension, pursuant to Title 20 and 21 of the MPMC, for TM-18-01 and CUP-18-01 (Attachment 2). The project includes subdividing three parcels to construct a 40-unit senior housing development at 130-206 S. Chandler Avenue, located on the east side of Chandler Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Newmark Avenue.
On February 5, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12135 approving TM-18- 01 and CUP-18-01, which provided two years to record the final map and one year to exercise the CUP. Actions by the City during COVID-19 extended the expiration of both TM-18-01 and CUP-1 8-01 until April 1, 2023.
On August 23, 2020, the applicant submitted construction plans and initiated plan check review for the development, but has not yet finalized the tentative map or exercised the CUP.
This is the first one-year time extension request for TM-18-01. The request for the tentative map extension does not exceed a total of six years from the initial expiration date which is consistent with MPMC § 20.04.120(c). Additionally, this is the first extension request for the CUP, which may be extended without a public hearing pursuant to MPMC §21.32.16; this request is also for an extension of one year.
Based on the information provided on the projects since their respective entitlement, the recommended action includes consideration of an extension of an approved tentative map and a CUP. Pursuant
to MPMC § 20.04.120, the City Council may extend the time to record a final map, where such extensions do not exceed an aggregate of six years.
Further, MPMC §21.32.16 allows a one-time extension of a CUP without a public hearing.
If approved, TM-18-01 and CUP-1 801 will expire on April 1, 2024.

Dear Jessica,
I am writing in regards to the Final map application PM71473.
The Final Map application is in its final stage of review. But since the application expiration date is at the end of March 2023, we would like to request an extension to cover the last couple review before approval.
Presently, the parcel map has been approved and the City Attorney is reviewing our submitted CC&R. The only other document needed for final approval of the subdivision is the Subdivision Agreement which should be ready for City review sometime next month.
Our plan is to have the project started in June and grading completed before December of this year.
We have been working with the Public Works department and the civil/ grading plans was approved about a month ago. We are now in the process of obtaining a set of construction bonds that satisfy the City’s requirement for the release of the grading permit.
We have secured project funding needed for construction, and already have a contractor line up to start construction once the permit is released.
We understand the subdivision agreement approval and recording may take a couple more months, we would appreciate if you can consider and approve this extension request so we can complete this Final Map application process.
Thank you very much for your considerations.
Sincerely,
Paul Cheung, CFO
Goldstar Development Inc.

RE: Title Extension re: 130-206 S. Chandler Avenue
Dear Honorable City Council,
I write this letter on behalf of my client, Latigo Canyon Development, LLC, with regard to the status of the development of the property located at 130-206 S. Chandler Avenue and to update my client’s prior letter of February 21, 2023. This pertains specifically to Tentative Map No. 73741 (TM- 18-01) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP-18-01).
My client respectfully requests an extension of BOTH the Tentative Map No. 73741 (TM- 18-01) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP-18-01).
The pandemic required my client to stop work on the project due to the unavailability of labor. As a result of that delay, my client lost its financing for the project. Now that things have stabilized, my client has been able to obtain new financing and expects the construction loan to close escrow this month (May, 2023). My client expects to have all financing in place and to be ready to commence construction July 1, 2023.
The proposed schedule is as follows:
Construction Financing: May 22, 2023
Completion of Plan Check: June 30, 2023
Commencement of Construction: July 1, 2023
Completion of Construction: December 31, 2024
Certificate of Occupancy: February 28, 2025
My client believes that he will be providing an attractive finished construction project which will benefit the City of Monterey Park and provide much needed relief to the acute housing shortage. I hope that you can approve this extension so that this project can get underway. Please feel free to contact me or my client directly with any questions, comments, or concerns.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Steven P. Scandura, Esq.

FROM: Robert Aguirre, Director of Recreation & Community Services SUBJECT: Donation of Mural at George Elder Park for AAPI Heritage Month RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Accepting the donation of a mural submitted by the Los Angeles Rams and artist D.J. Javier for George Elder Park in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month; and
2. Taking such additional, related action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 4, 2023, the Recreation & Community Services Department was contacted by the Los Angeles Rams. The Los Angeles Rams organization expressed their interest in partnering with Monterey Park to create a permanent mural at a community facility considering the horrific January 21, 2023 shooting incident. The Rams wanted to focus on community beautification and highlight the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) culture. The Rams organization commissioned artist D.J. Javier to create a mural to uplift the Monterey Park community and honor AAPI month.
Artist D.J. Javier expressed that he drew inspiration from the following:
“Resilient Forever.” - In the midst of hardship, turmoil, and hate, the Asian American community has stood unwavered, unshaken, and resilient.
Continually stirring up the courage, strength, and boldness to keep moving forward, regardless of what pushes back.
The Rams organization will fund all costs associated with a mural including, without limitation, to the commissioning of the artist, supplies and materials, and rental equipment. City staff set up meetings with the Los Angeles Rams and artist D.J. Javier to discuss the vision and view a draft rendering. The design features a waving/flying dragon that symbolizes strength, courage, and boldness and is revered as a protector in many Asian cultures. The mural design has 11 stars, symbolizing and honoring the 11 deceased victims of the shooting incident, and the dragon contains hidden stylized Rams logo horns.
The mural project aims to bring beauty to the community and celebrate all AAPI cultures while honoring and paying respect to all those affected by the recent tragedy. The mural New Business - 5B

provides a space of healing and inspiration for community members to visit and reflect on the resilience of the Monterey Park community, celebrate our diversity, and commemorate AAPI Heritage Month. The artist also hopes to bring joy and inspire the Monterey Park community and the next generation of young AAPI artists.
On Wednesday, May 10, the Community Participation Commission reviewed the Artist’s mural rendering. The Commissioners were ecstatic to learn about the opportunity to have a mural celebrating AAPI Heritage Month at George Elder Park and voted unanimously to recommend City Council accept the donation from the Los Angeles Rams. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the donation of a mural for George Elder Park from the Los Angeles Rams in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month.
BACKGROUND:
The Los Angeles Rams organization, in partnership with artist D.J. Javier, selected May in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Month recognizes the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the United States' history, culture, and achievements.

SUBJECT: National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend RECO
MMENDATION:

EXECU
TIVE SUMMARY:
Eve
ry day, 110 people in America are killed with guns. The gun homicide rate in the U.S. is 26 times higher than that of other developed countries, but research shows that common-sense and public safety laws can reduce gun violence. Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend began on June 2, 2015, comm emorating the shooting death of Hadiya Pendleton, an honor student from Chicago, and remembering all those lives lost to gun violence throughout the country. We are enlisting your support in the form of a resolution to honor the victims of the January 21, 2023 shooting incident, and all victims who have been killed due to gun violence.
BACKGRO
UND:
On
January 21, 2013, Hadiya Pendleton marched in President Obama’s second inaugural parade. One week later, Hadiya was shot and killed on a playground in Chicago. Soon after this tragedy, Hadiya’s childhood friends decided to commemorate her life by wearing orange. Orange is commonly worn by hunters to protect themselves and others. Orange has become the defining color of the gun violence prevent ion movement. Wear Orange is now observed every June on the first Friday of that month.
Thousands of people wear orange to honor Hadiya and the more than 40,000 people who are killed with guns and approximately 85,000 who are shot and wounded every year.
