2-B. DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS ON CITY’S UPDATED INCLUSIONARY HOUSING

ORDINANCE FEASIBILITY/FEE STUDY

On September 6, 2023, the City Council adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance ("IHO”) and an in -lieu fee formula to encourage affordable housing in Monterey Park. The Council also directed the City Manager to assess the IHO’s financial feasibility and recommend in-lieu fees where necessary. To assist in this evaluation, the City partnered with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (“SGVCOG”) and engaged Economic & Planning Systems (“EPS”) for a tailored feasibility study.

On January 17, 2024, the feasibility study was presented to City Council and found that the IHO's requirements could present financial challenges for new residential projects, particularly smaller and mid-sized developments. Based on this analysis, the City Council directed staff to pause enforcement of the IHO for one year and revisit its financial feasibility in the coming year.

EPS was hired to review the previously prepared feasibility study and update it to reflect current market conditions. In updating the feasibility study, during the Council-directed IHO enforcement pause, EPS looked at both direct and indirect factors that may change the financial feasibility of implementing the IHO. The study’s overall conclusion states that while the requirements of the IHO are likely to remain financially challenging for new residential development within the City and may constrain new projects, current market conditions have demonstrated improved feasibility of new residential projects overall since the previous analysis.

Discussion: Director of Community Development Serrano and Planning Manager Chow introduced Senior Associate Chinmay Damle and Principal Julie Cooper from Economic and Planning Systems Inc. (EPS) to present the City’s feasibility study.

Senior Associate Damle and Principal Cooper from EPS presented a PowerPoint Presentation about the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO) feasibility study and provided potential options of consideration to the City Council.

Action Taken: The City Council received and filed the report and presentation and provided direction to staff to as follows: temporarily pause the IHO requirements for at least 9 months - 12 months and return to City Council with an updated financial feasibility study for consideration by the Council in December or January (2026). During this pause, Staff is directed to ( 1) adjust the requirements of IHO relating to projects automatically qualifying for the State Density Bonus and (2) the adoption of an in- lieu fee at a level that is higher or equivalent of providing units on-site.

1-A. DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY: WINDSTORM AND FIRESTORM EVENTS

On January 7, 2025, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties experienced severe wind events and devastating fires that caused widespread damage to private and public property in local communities leaving infrastructure, buildings, and roads damaged or destroyed. The events also resulted in power outages, downed trees, and significant debris. Locally, the City of Monterey Park (“City”) was impacted by these events resulting in the need of immediate response from City employees and contractors. While City employees continue to assess the impacts from these events, the Public Works Director (“Director”) and Fire Chief (“Chief”) ident ified risks to City operations and emergency responses. The Director and Chief recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution ratifying the City Manager’s administrative declaration of emergency regarding the recent wind events and fires to protect public health, safety, and general welfare.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

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.

Action Taken: The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-R3 declaring a local emergency resulting from the windstorm and firestorm events identified on or about January 7, 2025, ratifying the City Manager’s administrative Declaration of Emergency dated January 16, 2025, ratifying the City Manager’s Order for Urgency Abatement, and authorizing the City Manager to directly negotiate contracts pursuant to Public Contract Code §§ 20168 and 2205 and authorized the Public Works Director to approve change orders and contingency as appropriate up to 15% of the contract amount for these projects.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: March 5, 2025
AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Martha Garcia, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution declaring unclaimed monies as property of the City of Monterey Park and ordering it transferred to the City’s General Fund pursuant to Government Code §§ 50050, et. seq.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider:

1. Adopting a Resolution declaring unclaimed monies as property of the City of Monterey Park and ordering it transferred to the City’s General Fund; and

2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Adopting the attached Resolution will transfer unclaimed money that has remained in the City’s possession for at least three years (one year for unclaimed money in an amount that is less than $15) into the City’s General Fund. Unclaimed money may be eschea ted to the City’s General Fund pursuant to Government Code §§ 50050 to 50055, as described in the City’s Administrative Policy No. 20 -26 (Attachment 2), provided that the City first publishes notice in a newspaper of general circulation for at least two consecutive weeks.

Unless claimed or challenged by a verified complaint, the unclaimed monies become the property of the City at least 45 days, but no more than 60 days, after the initial public notice pursuant to Government Code §§ 50050 and 50051. The Finance Director (“Director”) caused notice to be published in the Monterey Park Progress newspaper for two consecutive weeks on January 16, 2025, and January 23, 2025 ( the “Notice”). The Director has not received any claims or complaints concerning the unclaimed monies.

BACKGROUND:

Escheat is a legal process of transferring ownership of unclaimed property to a governmental entity by operation of law. California Government Code §§ 50050 to 50055, as described in the City’s Administrative Policy No. 20-26, implements a legal process for the City to escheat unclaimed monies and transfer them to the General Fund.

To escheat the unclaimed monies to the City, Government Code § 50051 requires the City to publish in a local newspaper of general circulation a public notice which states the Consent Calendar - 3C

Staff Report

amount of money ($15.00 or greater and at least three years old) , the fund in which it is held, and that it is proposed that the mon ies will become the property of the City on a designated date not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days after the first publication of the notice. Unless claimed or challenged by a verified complaint by the designated due date in the public notice, unclaimed monies become the property of the City and the City Council may transfer the funds to the General Fund. Pursuant to Government Code § 50055, individual unclaimed monies less than $15.00 and at least one year old may be transferred to the General Fund by the City Council without the necessity of public notification in the local newspaper.

The Notice was published for two consecutive weeks on January 16, 2025, and January 23, 2025, in the Monterey Park Progress newspaper, identified the escheat date as March 3, 2025, and listed unclaimed monies totaling $13,660.05 Additionally, the Director proactively contacts payees on the list via email or phone to inquire about the status of the outstanding payments and reissue any misplaced or lost checks.

The Director has not received any claims or written comments concerning the unclaimed monies by the due date designated in the public notice of March 3, 2025. The attached Resolution contains a list of the unclaimed monies in the public notice ($15.00 or greater and at least three years old) that remain unclaimed and/or unchallenged by the escheat date. Attachment 1 also includes other individual unclaimed monies less than $15.00 and at least one year old that are not subject to a public notice requirement before being escheated.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the City Council approves this recommendation, the General Fund would increase by $13,660.05

A RESOLUTION DECLARING UNCLAIMED MONIES AS PROPERTY OF

THE CITY OF MONTEREY PARK AND TRANSFERRING IT TO THE
CITY’S GENERAL FUND PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE §
50053.

BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park as follows:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. This resolution escheats $13,660.05 in unclaimed money to the City.

B. Government Code § § 50050, et. seq., establishes a legal process for the City to escheat unclaimed monies and transfer them to the General Fund.

C. A public notice was duly published for two consecutive weeks on January 16, 2025, and January 23, 2025, in the Monterey Park Progress newspaper , and identified the escheat date as March 3, 2025.

D. The City did not receive any claims or written comments concerning the unclaimed monies on or before March 3, 2025.

E. The City reviewed this Resolution’s environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et set., the “CEQA” Guidelines”), and the City’s Environmental Guidelines.

F. The findings in this Resolution are made based on the entire administrative record including testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at its March 5, 2025, regular meeting including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Finance Director.

SECTION 2 . Environmental Assessment. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the Project 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 Guidel ines”). CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 exempt activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, activities where there is possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined, respectively. This Resolution is for general policies and procedure -making. Any subsequent expenditures will be evaluated separately under the CEQA Guidelines. Accordingly, this Resolution is exempt from further review.

City of Monterey Park
Resolution No. 24-XX

SECTION 3. Action. Pursuant to Government Code § 50053, the City Council:

A. Declares the unclaimed monies on the attached Exhibit “A,” which is incorporated by reference, in the total amount of $13,660.05 escheated to the City; and B. Authorizes and directs the City Manager, or designee, to transfer the escheated funds totaling $13,660.05 to the City’s General Fund’s cash account.

SECTION 4. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 5. Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 6. Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution . It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 7. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its Application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

SECTION 8. Electronic Signatures . This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 9. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to affix its signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park, and the City Clerk, or its duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest.

SECTION 10. Effective Date. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.

A RESOLUTION REQUESTING APPOINTMENT PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 21221(H) AND EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. N-25- 20 FOR THE POSITION OF INTERIM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

DIRECTOR

The City Council of the City of Monterey Park does resolve as follows:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:

A. Government Code section 21221(h) of the Public Employees’ Retirement Law permits the governing body to appoint a CalPERS retiree to a vacant position requiring specialized skills during recruitment for a permanent appointment, and provides that such appointment will not subject the retired person to reinstatement from retirement or loss of benefits so long as it is a single appointment that does not exceed 960 hours in a fiscal year;

B. The City Council desires to appoint Philip S. Lanzafame (“Lanzafame”) as an interim appointment retired annuitant to the vacant position of Community Development Director under Gov. Code section 21221(h), effective March 5, 2025;

C. The City Council, the City and Lanzafame certify that Lanzafame has not and will not receive a “Golden Handshake” or any other retirement-related incentive;

D. An appointment under Government Code section 21221(h) requires the retiree is appointed into the interim appointment during recruitment for a permanent appointment;

E. The City Council authorized the search for a permanent appointment on February 14, 2025;

F. This Government Code section 21221(h) appointment shall only be made once and therefore will end on September 30, 2025;

G. The entire employment agreement between Lanzafame and the City was reviewed by the City Council and is attached as Exhibit “A,” and incorporated by reference;

H. The compensation paid to retirees cannot be less than the minimum nor exceed the maximum monthly base salary paid to other employees performing comparable duties, divided by 173.333 to equal the hourly rate;

I. The maximum annual base salary for this position is $245,640 and the hourly equivalent is $118.10 per hour; the minimum annual base salary for this position is 154,932 and the hourly equivalent is $74.49 per hour;

J. The hourly rate paid to Lanzafame will be $118.10; and

K. Lanzafame has not and will not receive any other benefit, incentive, compensation in lieu of benefit or other form of compensation in addition to this hourly pay rate.

SECTION 2: The City Council certifies the nature of the employment of Lanzafame as described and detailed in the attached employment agreement demonstrates that this appointment is necessary to fill the critically needed position of interim Community Development Director for the City by March 5, 2025 because, among other things, the City is legally obligated to meet the schedules within its certified Housing Element for rezoning properties within the City; it is obligated to implement the direction of voters in enacting the Land Use Element of the General Plan in 2020 including, without limitation, drafting new regulations to allow residential housing within the Saturn Park area; and ensuring that pending applications for residential projects within the City are timely processed in accordance with California law. The City Council anticipates that the City Manager will swiftly fill the vacancy for Community Development Director and report back to the City Council once that is accomplished.

SECTION 3: This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code of the State of California §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 4: The City Clerk is directed to certify the adoption of this Resolution.

SECTION 5: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption.

The following section s provide an update of the status and implementation of each element of the Monterey Park General Plan.

Urban Design and Land Use Element
A comprehensive update to the Urban Design and Land Use Element (“LUE”) was adopted in 2019 and approved by voters in November 2020. Since this time, the City has processed a variety of new land use developments and adopted new land use regulations that have continually upheld the LUE.

The following ordinances related to land uses were initiated and adopted in 2024:
• Aligning residential density standards consistent with the General Plan; • Modifying parking requirements related to multi-family housing developments; • Modifying emergency shelters regulations consistent with state law; • Modifying supportive housing regulations consistent with state law; and • Creating standards for data centers.

Addressing the inconsistencies between the LUE and the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”), which implements the LUE, is ongoing. In fall of 2023, the Community Development Department launched the Our City, Our Plan campaign to make changes to zoning and update the MPMC with the intention revitalization of the downtown, expanding housing opportunities and streamlin ing development. Two sets of zone changes were approved in early and late 2024 addressing the consistency between the LUE and MPMC. The City continues to implement the Our City, Our Plan effort.

Economic Development Element
The Economic Development Element , last updated in 2001, helps guide City efforts to maintain an economically viable range of housing and employment opportunities that meet the needs of residents and workers . In August of 2024, City Council approved the Economic Development Strategic Plan.

Last year, the City progressed in helping local small businesses in the following areas:
• Launching the Monterey Park Business Alliance to support business owners in the City of Monterey Park;
• Hosting a small business expo to provide business owners with resources and an opportunity to network;
• Hosting roundtable meetings with developers and property owners to create connections and provide information on opportunities; and • Providing monthly e-newsletters with information on training, grants and other resources to the City’s business community.

Through the efforts listed above and others in recent years, the City was awarded the 2024 Most Business -Friendly City Award by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Co rporation. This award recognizes the City’s outstanding effort s in creating a supportive and thriving business environment . The City’s dedication to

Staff Report

proactive business attraction and retention strategies were key factors in securing this award.

Circulation Element
The purpose of the Circulation Element, last updated in 2001, is to define a safe, efficient, and adequate circulation system in the City. The element also focuses on identif ication and evaluation of local circulation needs, while balancing those needs with regional circulation, public transportation, and bicycle and pedestrian circulation in the Monterey Park community.

The City has continued to make a variety of street and traffic improvements to its existing network of public streets and sidewalks including street resurfacing, sidewalk repair, Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) compliance, installation of bike lanes, and traffic signal modifications.

These street and traffic improvements are identified as Capital Improvement Projects (“CIPs”) in which federal, state and local funding sources are utilized to execute the projects. Some of the projects completed in 2024 include 7.8 miles of resurfaced streets and 4.5 miles of slurry sealed streets in several residential neighborhoods. The Monterey Pass Road Rehabilitation occurred in 2024, with a majority of the construction complete and awaiting final closeout in 2025. Additional improvements to the circulation system related to traffic signals and sidewalk repairs occurred at key intersections.

Related to transit services, the City completed its evaluation of the Spirit Bus fixed-route transportation program and is considering changes. These changes may include adjusting routes and introducing on-demand trip planning, allowing riders to book trips as needed instead of following fixed routes or schedules like traditional shuttle services. On- demand systems modernize transit services by incorporating new technology trends, offering flexible and efficient solutions that respond to the evolving needs of the community. Decisions related to any changes will be reviewed by Staff and Council in the future.

Housing Element
The Housing Element (“HE”) underwent a comprehensive update in 202 2 and was certified by HCD in March 2023. The HE describes actions the City took and will take to meet existing and future housing needs during the 6th Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”) cycle which runs between 2021 -2029. The HE outlines existing and proposed housing programs and text amendments that are needed to meet statutory requirements.

The implementation of the housing programs was ongoing throughout the planning cycle.

Staff Report

The table below identifies the number of housing units which were allocated to the City for the 6th RHNA cycle:
6th RHNA CYCLE (2021-2029)

INCOME GROUP NUMBER PERCENT
Extremely Low 653 12.4%
Very Low (<50% of AMI*) 671 12.7%
Low (51% to 80% of AMI) 822 15.6%
Moderate (81% to 120% of AMI) 848 16.1%
Above Moderate (>120% of AMI) 2,263 43.0%
Total 5,257 100.0%
*AMI = Los Angeles County Area Median Income

Attachment 1 includes the tables related to the implementation status of housing programs contained in the adopted 2021-2029 HE that were implemented during the 2024 calendar year, including a summary of residential units created in 2024.

In the past year, the City worked on implementation of the HE in order to help reach RHNA goals. The City took steps to adopt ordinances that addressed housing with the following actions in Program 7 of the HE:
• Aligning residential density standards consistent with the General Plan; • Modifying parking requirements related to multi-family housing developments; • Modifying emergency shelters regulations consistent with state law; and • Modifying supportive housing regulations consistent with state law;

Other steps the City took to implement the HE included:
• Creating an interactive map of the City’s Sites Inventory (Program 6 and 8) • Hosting an affordable housing developers’ roundtable (Program 1) • Hosting Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Counseling events (Program 17)

The City continues to be a member of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust (“SGVRHT”) in 2024. SGVRHT is a joint powers authority to help fund and finance the planning and construction of homeless housing, and extremely low, very low and low - income housing projects. In joining SGVRT, the City is better positioned to take advantage of funding opportunities as projects develop in the City.

Safety and Community Services Element
A comprehensive update to the Safety Element was completed in 2022. Throughout 2024, the Director of Community and Economic Development (“Director”) conducted and completed trainings related to national disasters including trainings through the Standardized Emergency Management System ( “SEMS”) and the National Incident Management System (“NIMS”). Trainings have also engaged the community through the Community Emergency Response Team ( “CERT”), Community Preparedness Clinics, and Neighborhood Watch programs.

The latest adoption of the Safety Element also prioritized climate change and seismic hazards. To better address climate change , the Monterey Park Going Green program continued throughout 2024 which included outreach and education resulting in the City’s new Sustainability Plan, adopted in April of 2024.

Additionally, the City continued efforts to update its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (“LHMP”). The LHMP assess es local hazard vulnerabilities and identif ies mitigation actions that the City will pursue to reduce impacts in the case of a hazard. In July 2024, the City continued to seek community participation through an on-going survey related to Hazard Mitigation. Once the new plan is adopted by the City Council and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( “FEMA”), the City will be eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (“HMGP”) and other mitigation-related funding.

Resources Element
The Resources Element, last updated in 2001, addresses open space and conservation.

Because Monterey Park is a built-out urban community, there are few “natural” resources such as forests or wildlife habitat or agricultural land. The Resources Element, therefore, directs policy toward preserving those resources important in the urban environment of Monterey Park and critical to preserving this City’s heritage for future generations. These resources include City parks and other improved open space areas, historic resources, water resources, and air quality.

To further the goals within the Resources Element, the Director has diligently worked to preserve, enhance, and upgrade open space areas such as the updates and upgrades to playground equipment throughout the City. Maintenance and upgrade of the City’s open space facilities are an on -going extension of CIP’s that the City carries out. T he following improvements were completed in 2024 to various City parks and facilities:
• Sequoia Park – new playground installation;
• Bella Vista Park – new playground installation;
• Highlands Park - new playground installation;
• Garvey Ranch Park - new playground installation; and
• Edison Trails Park – new playground installation.

Other efforts to implement the Resources Element included the launch of the City’s first Parks System Master Plan to help shape the future of the City’s open space network and recreation services. Efforts such as surveys, open house events, and other engagement activities were employed to help garner community input.

Healthy Community Element
A Healthy Community Element was adopted in 2014 and provides goals and policies to guide City’s efforts to support and promote a healthier community by “making the healthy choice the easy choice” for every community member . In 2024, the City provided free COVID-19 test kits which were distributed at Barnes Park, Bruggemeyer Library, and the Langley Senior Center. The community was also able to benefit from free health clinics, flu shots, and COVID-19 vaccines. The City has partnered with service providers through

the Los Angeles County Department of Health and Chinatown Service Center, among others to offer these services free to residents . Other physical well -being efforts were offered via e xercise, dance and other recreational fitness classes , which are on-going and change seasonally.

Mental health continues as a key area of focus in 2024. After the City’s mass casualty incident in January 2023, the City and its partners sought and provided mental health services to those who were directly and indirectly impacted by the event, including victims, employees, and community members . This past year saw t he MPK Hope Resiliency Center find a permanent home in a commercial tenant space within the City . Ongoing drop-in and check-in mental health services are also offered at Bruggemeyer Library and Langley Senior Center.

Sustainable Community Element
A Sustainable Community Element was adopted in 2014. This element establishes goals and policies to guide City efforts to become a more sustainable and resilient community through changes to municipal operations and by promoting and supporting sustainable behaviors of individual community members . The City held or partnered in events that featured electronic waste disposal, document shredding, landscape chipping, tree planting, compost giveaways, and ride-free public transportation days.

The Monterey Park Going Green program was introduced in 2022 and efforts to develop a plan to help the City and its residents be resilient to climate change culminated in the City’s new Sustainability Plan through the Going Green program was adopted in April of 2024.

Environmental Justice Element
An Environmental Justice Element was added to the General Plan in 2022 . 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. Through 2024, the City has strived to promote and provide the public opportunities with civic engagement including workshops.

Various community efforts have promoted civic engagement, including:
• Community Input Sessions for the Economic Development Strategic Plan; • Engagement Workshops to discuss ballot measures and the City’s fiscal health; • Open House meetings for the Parks System Master Plan; • Monterey Park Going Green survey, outreach, and public workshops to evaluate programs and plans for the City’s efforts in sustainability; and • Community feedback meeting and survey on federal funding efforts related to Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) and HOME Investment Partnership funds for the creation of a 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

When possible, the meetings listed above have been conducted in both virtual and in- person platforms. In-person events were held at various locations around the City and

Targeted Investments and Place-Based: Target capital investments in areas of most need focused on improving community assets such as schools, recreational facilities and programs, social service programs, parks, streets, active transportation and infrastructure. Primarily focus these efforts in the moderate-resource areas in the north, southeast, and southwest portions of the City. Incorporate this priority into the City’s Consolidated Plan 2020- 2024 and/or the next update to the City’s Capital Improvement Plan.

9. Targeted Investments and Place-Based: Implement tree-planting to reduce heat impacts. with the goal of planting trees in at least 3 AFFH target neighborhoods by the end of the planning period. Assess local park distribution with the goal of developing 3 new parks by the end of the planning period. Ensure equitable park-access to have a ratio of at least three acres of parkland per 1,000 residents by the end of the planning period.

Promote/facilitate the conversion of existing public ROWs into green space by integrating parks and landscaping with the goal of 4 new projects in coordination with proposed mixed-use developments by the end of the planning period. Pursue joint use agreements and expanded public hours for school parks and recreation facilities in underserved areas of the City. Target at least 3 agreements by the end of the planning period. Expand bike/lanes across the City by implementing proposed improvements along identified deficiency areas. Complete at least 3 improvements by the end of the planning period. Provide translated signage and hiring multilingual staff – initiate this work by 2024 and throughout the planning period. Hire at least one multilingual staff. Provide streets that are clean/comfortable/attractive for pedestrian travel, especially in neighborhoods, the larger downtown area, and areas around pedestrian “attractors” such as public facilities, transit stops, schools, parks, and commercial uses. Complete 3 improvements to implement this goal by the end of the planning period. South Garfield Village Specific Plan covers the Southern side of the City bordering Montebello which is also a focus area for AFFH. This area is envisioned to have a future transit station with walkable and bikeable area that serves transit uses.

The goals of this plan include revitalization, improved mobility and public improvements. The City Council allocated $900,000 for public improvements in this area including mid-block pedestrian crossing and street trees along with connectivity and aesthetics. The City will target to complete at least 5 improvements during the planning period

City Council Staff Report
DATE: March 5, 2025
AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
Subject: Consideration and possible action to adopt a Resolution Amending the Capital Improvement Plan and receive and file a summary of The Windstorm and Firestorm Local Emergency
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Receiving and Filing this staff report summarizing the status of windstorm and firestorm local emergency;

2. Adopting a Resolution to add projects to the Fiscal Y ear 2024- 25 Capital Improvement Program; and

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

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the extension 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”). CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 exempt activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, activities where there is possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined, respectively.

This activity reflects administrative changes and policy making. Accordingly, this activity is exempt from further review.

BACKGROUND:

On January 21, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-R3 declaring a local emergency due to windstorm and firestorm events beginning on January 7, 2025 , as reflected in the Governor’s Executive Order dated January 12, 2025 . At its January 21, 2025 meeting, the City Council authorized the City Manager to take necessary measures to protect public health, safety, and general welfare including urgency abatement and direct negotiation of contracts pursuant to Public Contract Code §§ 20168 and 22050 for the completion of capital improvement plan (“CIP”) projects. These actions were necessary for several reasons including, without limitation, the following:
• The widespread structure destruction and damage from the windstorm and firestorm events will result in increased prices for construction products and Consent Calendar - 3F

contractor services. Expediting the City’s ability to secure contracts for capital improvement projects is in the public interest. Many of the approved public works projects are intended to improve vital infrastructure such as roads, water, stormwater, and wastewater facilities.

• The Governor’s Executive Order dated January 12, 2025, directs state agencies to streamline building approvals. It is in the public interest for the City to jumpstart that process to assist with developers seeking to build within the City’s jurisdiction.

• Fire prevention is always critical. The current emergency, however, starkly emphasized the immediate need to exercise the City’s police powers to protect public health and safety. This, among other things, includes undergrounding power lines to the greatest extent practicable.

• The City expended public resources (personnel, equipment, gas, etc.) while assisting neighboring jurisdictions during this emergency. It is in the public interest for the City to seek reimbursement from federal and state agencies for these costs.

Since the adoption of Resolution 2025- R3 the City has directly negotiated the following public works contracts:

While the CIP is prepared and adopted during the annual budget process, new or updated projects may arise during the year that may need to formally be added to the CIP. At mid- year budget review, the Public Works Director (“Director”) identified two new projects that needed to be added to the CIP. This includes the City Hall parking lot and Citywide solar, batteries and EV charging stations projects.

The scope of work for the City Hall parking lot includes the addition of public parking spaces, installation of EV charging stations, lighting and stormwater treatment. The total budget for this project is $750,000.

The scope of work for the Citywide solar, batteries and EV charging stations includes the implementation of solar power and energy storage systems and installation of electric vehicle chargers at various locations throughout the City. The total cost for this project is

Staff Report

not yet determined. The Director will return to Council once costs and a contractor are identified.

At t his time, it is recommended that City Council approve a Resolution amending Resolution 2024-R48 to add both the City Hall parking lot and Citywide solar, batteries and EV charging stations to the FY 2024-25 CIP.
2024-25 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:

The adopted resolution meets the City’s goal to m aintain, build and modernize infrastructure and facilities to support the current and future needs of our city and community.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The costs for the recently awarded contracts are budgeted within the City’s FY 2024- 25 CIP. The costs for the proposed City Hall parking lot project were approved with the FY 2024-25 midyear budget. The proposed Citywide solar, batteries and EV charging stations project will remain unfunded at this time to allow for additional planning and identification of total estimated costs.

PLAN (“CIP”) AND FINDING SUCH AMENDMENT CONFORMS WITH
THE GENERAL PLAN.

BE IT
RESOLVED by the City Council of the city of Monterey Park as follows:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. Thi
s Resolution amends Resolution 2024-R48 by adding both the City Hall parking lot and Citywide solar, batteries and EV charging stations to the FY 2024-25 Capital Improvements Program (“CIP”) (the “Project”).

B. The
Projects was not previously included within the CIP, as approved by Resolution No. 2022-R48 on June 18, 2024.

C. Pur
suant to Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) § 2.56.020(B), the City Council is the Monterey Park Planning Agency for purposes of this Resolution.

D. Annu
al review of the CIP will occur on a future date, and any revisions proposed at the annual CIP review will be duly noticed pursuant to applicable law.

E. The C
ity reviewed this Resolution’s environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et set., the “CEQA” Guidelines”), and the City’s Environmental Guidelines.

F. Thi
s Resolution is adopted based upon the entirety of the administrative record including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Director of Public Works (“Director”).

SECTION 2: Findings. Pursuant to Government Code § 65401, the City Council finds that the CIP, as amended by adding Project s, is consistent with the Monterey Park General Plan. Among other things the CIP meets the following goals in the General Plan:
• Goal

2.0 of the Circulation Element: Provide a local street system that accommodates current and future traffic volumes;
• Goal

5.0 of the Circulation Element: Create and maintain a connected system of bicycle routes and pedestrian facilities that meets the need of City residents;
• Goal

6.0 of the Circulation Element: Ensure that all development projects

2 provide well -designed parking facilities that are safe, convenient, and attractive;
• Goal

9.0 of the Natural Resources Element: Promote the installation of small-scale renewable energy systems such as solar panels and wind turbines in new and existing development.
• Goal

10.0 of the Natural Resources Element: Promote the use of renewable energy in City-owned facilities to reduce the municipal “carbon footprint” (total greenhouse gas emissions from energy production).

SECTION 3: Action . The City Council adopts this Resolution amending Resolution 2024-R48 by adding the City Hall parking lot and Citywide solar, batteries and EV charging stations to the FY 2024-25 CIP as set forth in the attached Exhibit “A” which is incorporated by reference. To the extent that Resolution 2024-R48 conflicts with this R
esolution, it is superseded.

SECTION 4: Design I mmunity; City Engineer. The City Council wishes to obtain the immunities set forth in Government Code § 830.6 regarding the plans and construction of the Projects. Accordingly, in addition to the other projects in the CIP, the City Council authorizes the City Engineer to exercise discretionary approval for plans or designs for the Projects in advance of the construction or improvement as set forth in Resolution No. 2024-R48.

SECTION 5: Environmental Assessment. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the extension under t he California Environmental Q uality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). CEQA Gui delines § § 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 exempt activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, activities where there is possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and activities t hat do not co nstitute a “project” as def
ined, r espectively. T his act ivity r eflects adm inistrative changes an d policy making.

Accordingly, this activity is exempt from further review.

SECTION 6: Notice of Exemption. The Director of Public Works, or designee, is directed to file a Notice of Exemption in accordance with CEQA §§ 15062, and any other applicable law.

SECTION 7: Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions.

Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

3 SECTION 8: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 9: Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 10: Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its Application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

SECTION 11: Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 12: Recordation. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to sign this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, may attest thereto.

SECTION 13: Effective Date. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: March 5, 2025
AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chris Thompson, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Receive and File Staff Report Summarizing the Status of the Emergency Replacement of Fire Department Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Receive and file this staff report summarizing the status of the emergency replacement of self-contained breathing apparatus; and

2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

BACKGROUND:

On December 18, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024 -R98 authorizing the City Manager to take necessary measures for the emergency replacement of self- contained breathing apparatus (“SCBA”) for the Fire Department. SCBAs are critical personal protective equipment for fire suppression staff , and the Fire Department’s (“Department”) current inventory is no longer supported for repairs and replacement parts as of December 16, 2024. To ensure fire suppression staff are properly protected, the current inventory of SCBAs needs immediate replacement.

The Fire Chief (“Chief”) obtained a quote from Bauer Compressors, Inc. for the replacement of SCBAs, which includes both the items and a comprehensive service warranty for $633,812.92.

The City ordered the replacement SCBAs f rom Bauer Compressors on December 19, 2024. The Department received the first shipment of SCBAs the second week of January 2025, which contained about 30% of the needed SCBAs and parts. Bauer confirmed that the remainder of the order is slated to ship out the second week of March. Once the full order has been received, the necessary training and calibration will take place before the SCBA’s are deployed for use.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project is being funded by the General Fund. The estimated cost of the project is $635,000.

FROM: Jessica Serrano, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Adoption of a resolution implementing the Small Business Assistance Program using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and a resolution to award a Memorandum of Understanding to the Chinatown Service Center for the implementation and administration of the Small Business Assistance Program
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Open the public hearing, take testimonial evidence, and close the public hearing;

2. Approv e the implementation of the Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP) using an initial allocation of $200,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, 20% of which would be allocated for program administration, to support local businesses facing economic challenges and the lingering effects of the mass shooting tragedy and COVID -19 pandemic . Subject to funding availability, the City may allocate additional funds to support the program;

3. Adopt a resolution to adopt policies and procedures for distributing CDBG funds to qualified expenses and businesses and/or property owners participating in the SBAP to ensure compliance with all applicable CDBG regulations;

Public Hearing - 4A

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

After dissolving redevelopment agencies, the California Legislature adopted “Economic Opportunity” legislation in 2014, which allows use of public funds to promote economic development (SB 470, Wright 2013). Depending on the type of economic development a city is seeking to promote, a city may be required to make findings to demonstrate that the use of public funds towards economic development initiatives will likely create jobs, improve tax revenues, or satisfy a need for affordable housing.

Th
e City Council’s 2024-2025 Strategic Plan includes a goal to “Strengthen our local economy and enhance housing opportunities ”. Using elements of the Economic Opportunity legislation may help advance this goal.

The SB
AP presents a valuable opportunity to leverage CDBG funding to directly support the local business community. By providing targeted financial assistance, the program can contribute to the economic recovery, growth, and long-term prosperity of Monterey Park.

Staff requests that the City Council approve the implementation of the SBAP, adopt a resolution establishing the program’s policies and procedures as described in Attachment 2 of this report, and authorize the City Manager to execute a n MOU with CSC in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for a term of 5 years for the administration of the SBAP.

BACKGROUND:

Government Code §§ 52200 to 52203 generally allows cities to expend public monies to help private enterprises for “economic opportunity.” Under this legislation, a city may also issue an economic development subsidy, such as a bond, loan, or incentive. Doing so requires a city to comply with certain notice and hearing requirements before granting an “economic development subsidy” in the amount of $100,000 or more and must provide a report showing the efficacy of the subsidy.

An “
economic development subsidy” is defined as:
“any
expenditure of public funds or loss of revenue to a
local agency in the amount of one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) or more, for the purpose of stimulating economic development within the jurisdiction of a local agency including, without limitat ion, bonds, grants, loans, loan guarantees, enterprise zone or empowerment zone
incentives, fee waivers, land price subsidies, matching funds, tax abatements, tax exemptions, and tax credits.” Bef
ore approving an economic development subsidy, a city must provide certain information in a publicly available written form and on the city website. That information must remain available during the term of the subsidy. That information includes identifying information pertaining to entities (aside from sole proprietorships) receiving March 5, 2025

the subsidy; a description of the subsidy and its purpose; and the estimated number of tax revenue and jobs generated by the subsidy. The city also must provide public notice and a hearing before the subsidy may be granted.

Wi
thin the term of the grant subsidy, but not later than five years following the grant of an economic development subsidy, a city must issue a report regarding the subsidy.

That report must be available to the public and posted on the city website. The report must contain the same information provided when the subsidy was first approved. In addition, it must include information related to the success of the subsidy, such as tax revenue and number of jobs created. During that time, the city must also hold a hearing to consider oral commentary on the report. If a particular economic development subsidy has a term of ten years or longer, the city must also hold a hearing when the term of the subsidy concludes.

On M
arch 26, 2024, the City Council approved a City -wide Business Assistance Plan for the City to use as a central platform to allow the use of public funds for developing programs and initiatives related to business attraction and retention, such as tenant improvements, façade/sign improvements, and other financial assistance to business owners, operators, and developers to promote economic development.

In ac
cordance with the Business Assistance Plan, the City seeks to establish SBAP using an initial allocation of $200,000 in CDBG funds to provide forgivable loans to eligible businesses and startups. Subject to funding availability, the City may allocate additional funds to support the program. The following outlines additional details about the SBAP:

Goa
ls:
• Promote Business Retention: Incentivize businesses to remain and thrive in Monterey Park and reduce commercial vacancies in the City. • Stimulate Economic Growth: Encourage investments in business improvements and expansion.
• Enhance Accessibility: Support businesses in making their facilities accessible to all customers.
• Improve Community Aesthetics: Encourage businesses to enhance their exteriors and interiors and contribute to a more vibrant City.
• Foster Entrepreneurship: Support the launch and growth of new businesses in Monterey Park.

Pro
gram Structure:

SBAP will offer forgivable loans up to $2 5,000 to help businesses with exterior and interior improvements, equipment purchases, and accessibility upgrades.

Qual
ified businesses include startup restaurant s and retail businesses that began operating in Monterey Park on or after January 1, 2023; or existing restaurant and retail businesses operating in Monterey Park before January 1, 2023, that can show financial hardship or sales decline in the last two years.

March 5, 2025

No loan repayment is required within the first three years. The loan may be forgiven if the qualified business operates in Monterey Park for three years following receipt of the grant. If the business and/or property is sold or transferred before the three- year period ends, the remaining balance of the loan will be due upon sale/transfer. Loan repayment is a 1% fixed interest rate with a 3- year term if the business leaves or ceases operation within three years.

Pr
ogram Administration:

City staff requested a proposal from Chinatown Service Center , which has extensive expertise in economic development, small business support, and local community engagement, for the SBAP administration, including:
• progr
am development and implementation
• application processing and review
• outreach and marketing
• technical assistance to businesses
• reimbursement and disbursement management
• program monitoring and reporting, and
• CDBG compliance
Staff
recommends Chinatown Service Center to administer the SBAP since it currently has offices within the City which provide community economic development related services to Monterey Park businesses . Chinatown Service Center proposes a fee of 20% of the allotted funding to administer the program, as indicated in Attachment 1. If $200,000 is initially allotted to the program, the funding would be spent as follows:
• $165,
000 dispersed to qualifying businesses
• $33,000 dispersed to Chinatown Service Center (20% of CDBG funds allocated to the SBAP) for program administration
The D
raft SBAP Program Summary ( Attachment 2) summarizes additional details regarding eligibility criteria, allowed expenses, and application process. While these details represent the current program structure, please note that adjustments may be made as needed to ensure the program’s effectiveness and responsiveness to evolving community needs and economic conditions.
2024-25 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:

The SBAP supports the City’s goal to strengthen our local economy and enhance housing opportunities by offering financial assistance to local businesses to address ongoing economic challenges and foster local economic recovery , stability, and growth.

LEGAL NOTIFICATION:

The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Monterey Park Progress and posted at City Hall, Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library, and Langley Center on February 20, 2025, affidavits of posting on file.

March 5, 2025

FISCAL I
MPACT:

Funding for the SBAP forgivable loans and administration fee paid to Chinatown Service Center will be paid using CDBG funds, which is consistent with the adopted Annual Action Plan. Funds have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget.

Chinatown Service Center Proposal
Staff Report
March 5, 2025

Proposal for CSC Involvement in Monterey
Park Small Business Assistance Program
Introduction
Chinatown Service Center (CSC) is committed to supporting small businesses in Monterey Park by serving as the technical assistance (TA) provider for the City’s Small Business Assistance Program (“the City”). This program, funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, provides forgivable loans of up to $20,000 for up to $200,000 in total funding available for eligible businesses to support economic stability and growth. CSC’s role will focus on identifying, evaluating, and assisting businesses through the application, approval, and post- award processes.

CSC’s Planned Involvement
Business Outreach and Identification
To locate eligible businesses, CSC will:

Identify clusters of the most impacted sectors including retail and food services  Canvass key business areas in Monterey Park, engaging directly with business owners. (English & Mandarin & Cantonese)
 Develop and distribute flyers to inform businesses about the program and encourage applications. (English & Traditional Chinese)
 Leverage City data (if available) on declining sales tax trends to target businesses facing financial hardship.
 Schedule consultations for businesses identified through canvassing or sales data to further assess eligibility and collect necessary documentation.

Business Eligibility Assessment
CSC will conduct consultations to assess eligibility based on:

Operational status: Business must be located in Monterey Park and hold a valid business license.

 Financial Hardship (for businesses operating before January 1, 2023): Must demonstrate financial hardship or declining sales over the past two years.  Required Documentation:
o Two years of tax returns
o Three months of bank statements
o Profit and loss statements (past two years)
o Business plan and financial projections (CSC will assist in developing these if needed)
o 941s if available to evaluate job retention / job creation o Sources and uses
o Any additional documents necessary to verify eligibility, financial need, and project feasibility.

Scoring Rubric for Eligibility Assessment
CSC will utilize a structured scoring rubric based on the program’s eligibility criteria:
 Feasibility (1-10 points): If the client has quotes readily available and is in a "ready to buy" situation, they receive full points. If they need to find a contractor, obtain licensing, or develop proposals, fewer points are allocated.
o Example: A business with a contractor and pricing already secured scores higher than one still seeking quotes.
 Impact (1-10 points): Evaluates job retention and job creation, with businesses that preserve or create more jobs scoring higher.
o Example: If two businesses apply and both meet the criteria, the one that will save or create more jobs will be weighted more favorably. o The remaining five points will be allocated based on the proposed use of funds:
 Equipment Purchases: Full points if the equipment directly improves core operations, drives revenue, or increases capacity.  Accessibility Improvements: Businesses that demonstrate increased client access or reduce barriers receive full points; fewer points for minor upgrades.
 Facade Improvements:
 Full points for fixing dangerous or broken infrastructure (e.g., leaks, structural repairs).
 Full points for major visual upgrades that enhance business visibility.
 Fewer points for small aesthetic updates with minimal impact. 
Alignment (1-10 points): Measures how well the proposed project aligns with the program’s goals, such as promoting business retention, stimulating economic growth,

enhancing accessibility, supporting job creation, improving community aesthetics, and fostering entrepreneurship.
o Example: A business project aimed at expanding services to underserved communities scores higher than a purely aesthetic renovation.  Priority Sectors (3 points):
o For the first three months after project launch, retail and food service business applications will be prioritized for review and approval. If they are within these sectors, they will have additional
Application Submission & Client Support
 CSC will assist businesses in submitting applications via a dedicated portal. o If the City provides a dedicated portal, CSC will utilize that portal o If the City does not provide a dedicated portal, CSC will develop in-language (English & Traditional Chinese) application form via Google Forms or Microsoft Forms.

PARK, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING AND RECOGNIZING THE MONTH

BE I
T RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Monterey Park as follows:

SECT
ION 1: The City Council finds as follows:

A. Claris
sa (Clara) Harlowe Barton is one of the most honored women in American history known for her astounding devotion and dedication to helping others. Barton is considered a visionary whose humanitarian spirit helped change the world, and on May 21, 1881, founded the American Red Cross.

B. Aft
er hearing of the Swiss-inspired global Red Cross network while visiting Europe following the Civil War, Barton and a few of her acquaintances campaigned for an American Red Cross and ratification of the Geneva Convention protecting the war- injured, which the United States ratified in 1882.

C. Bart
on led the American Red Cross for 23 years and conducted its very first domestic and overseas disaster relief efforts. The American Red Cross also aided the U.S. military during the Spanish-American War and successfully campaigned for the inclusion of peacetime relief work as part of the global Red Cross network.

D. The Am
erican Red Cross introduced its first aid, water safety, and public health nursing program prior to World War I, and by 1918, local chapters grew from 107 to 3,864 with more than 30 million adult and junior Red Cross members. Following the war, the Red Cross focused its service to veterans and enhanced its programs in safety training, accident prevention, in-home care, and nutrition education.

E. Ext
ensive services provided by the American Red Cross were once again needed for the U.S. military in World War II. This request initiated a national blood program that collected 13.3 million pints of blood for use by the armed forces. Following World War II, the Red Cross introduced the first nationwide civilian blood program that now supplies more than 40% of the blood and blood products in the United States today.

F. The Am
erican Red Cross has since expanded its services to include civil defense, CPR/AED training, HIV/AIDS education, and the provision of emotional care and support in the wake of disasters and continues to assist government agencies and community organizations plan, coordinate and provide feeding, sheltering , and family reunification services for people affected by disasters.

G. Today,
the American Red Cross provides compassionate care in five critical areas:
people affected by disasters in America; support for members of the military and their families; blood collection, processing, and distribution; health and safety education and training; and international relief and development.

March 5, 2025
City Communications - 6B

H. Since 1943, every United States President regardless of political party has issued messages and proclamations recognizing the tremendous efforts made by the American Red Cross including providing aid during disasters, ensuring access to lifesaving blood, providing education and training, and alleviating human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

I. T he Monterey Park City Council recognizes the compassion of people in the Monterey Park community and reaffirms their commitment to care for one another in times of crisis . K indhearted individuals in Monterey Park exemplify Barton’s commitment as they step up through humanitarian efforts to provide a beacon of hope for those in need. Their voluntary and selfless contributions make a lifesaving difference and strengthen the Monterey Park community.

J. The Monterey Park City Council hereby proclaims March 2025 as American Red Cross Month and encourages all residents of Monterey Park to reach out and support its humanitarian mission whether it is volunteering, donating blood, giving financially, or saving a life with first aid and CPR skills.

SECTION 2: Electronic Signatures . This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 3: Recordation. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to sign this Resolution, signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park , and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, may attest thereto.

SECTION 4: Effective Date. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.

SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:

A. In Febr
uary 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued a presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. The proclamation stated, “From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. However, the achievements, leadership, courage, strength, and love of the women who built America were as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.”
B. Wom
en’s History Month originated as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Public Law 97-28 which authorized the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982, as Women’s History Week. Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as Women’s History Week.

C. In 1987,
after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Public Law 100-9 which designed the month of March 1987 as Women’s History Month.

D. Betw
een 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, U.S. Presidents, regardless of political party, have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as Women’s History Month. These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made and recognize the specific achievements women have made throughout American history in a variety of fields.

E. Wom
en’s History Month corresponds with International Women’s Day which is celebrated on March 8 worldwide. I t provides an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality.

F. The Na
tional Women’s History Alliance designates a yearly theme for Women’s History Month. For 2025, the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) proudly presents the theme “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” This theme celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership.
