SPECIAL MEETING
APRIL 16, 2025
The City Council, the Financing Authority (MPFA), the Housing Authority (MPHA), the Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD), and the Successor Agency (SA) of the City of Monterey Park held a Special Meeting of the Council in Room 266, Second Floor of City Hall located at 320 West Newmark Avenue in the City of Monterey Park, Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 5:30 p.m.
CALL TO ORDER:
Mayor Ngo called the meeting to order at 5:34 p.m.
ROLL CALL:
City Manager Inez Alvarez called the roll:
Council Members Present: Henry Lo arrived at 5:37 p.m. , Vinh Ngo, Jose Sanchez Thomas Wong, Elizabeth Yang
Council Members Absent: None.
ALSO PRESENT : City Attorney Karl Berger, Assistant City Manager Diana Garcia , Director of Human Resources and Risk Management Christine Tomikawa , Director of Public Works Shawn Igoe, Director of Finance Martha Garcia
VIRTUALLY PRESENT: Assistant City Attorney Tim Campen
AGENDA ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, CHANGES AND ADOPTIONS:
City Attorney Berger announced the consideration of an addition of an item to the agenda.
City Attorney Berger reported the following:
“It is recommended that the City Council, upon 2/3 vote (four council members), amend the agenda to add an item to tonight’s agenda. Government Code § 54954.2 allows items to be added to the agenda if the City Council finds that the matter arose after posting of the agenda and requires a decision before the next regular meeting.”
xx-xx
April 16, 2025
The reason for amending the agenda is that at approximately 2:11 p.m., the City Manager was informed that TRC may have breached its Development Agreement with the City (see Ordinance No. 2251). Specifically, TRC is obligated under Section 4.2.3 of the Development Agreement to bring forward – not later than April 20, 2025 - multiple documents for City Council consideration and potential approval. Based upon an email sent by TRC’s representatives dated April 16, 2025 and time stamped 11:52 a.m., it does not appear TRC will meet that deadline. There are no further regular Council meetings scheduled for April.
Accordingly, the agenda is amended to add a new closed session item noted as Agenda Item No. 2D captioned:
CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL – INITIATION OF LITIGATION - GOVERNMENT CODE § 54956.9(d)(4) Number of Cases: One. A copy of the April 16, 2025 email is on file with the City Clerk (not required by applicable law; voluntarily disclosed).”
Action Taken: The City Council upon 2/3 vote (4 members present), add ed the proposed item to the agenda as Agenda Item No. 2D pursuant to Government Code § 54954.2.
Motion: Moved by Council Member Wong and seconded by Council Member Sanchez, motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members: Wong, Sanchez, Lo, Yang, Ngo
Noes: Council Members: None
Absent: Council Members: None.
Abstain: Council Members: None
Recusal: Council Members: None
PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS: None.
[1.] OPEN SESSION
1-A. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO CONTRACT
WITHOUT THE NEED FOR BIDDING PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE § 22050 TO ABATE PUBLIC NUISANCES AT 795 WEST GARVEY
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider:
(1) Adopting a Resolution declaring an emergency and authorizing contracting without formal bidding pursuant to Public Contracts Code § 22050;
xx-xx
April 16, 2025
(2) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a standard public works contract, in a form approved with the City Attorney, in accordance with the draft Resolution and select a contractor to abate public nuisance conditions at real property located at 795 West Garvey Avenue (the “Property”);
(3) Authorizing the City Attorney to take all legal actions required to ensure payment of all costs associated with the City’s abatement by the Property owner pursuant to MPMC Chapter 4.30 or as may otherwise be ordered by the Court; and
(4) Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
In 2017, the City issued a construction permit to build a commercial retail structure and related improvements for the Property. Construction is estimated to be approximately 80% complete, but has stagnated since at least 2021 with no discernable progress since. This left the property in a state of unfinished construction and blight; the City issued more than $20,000 in unpaid administrative fines primarily for illicit stormwater runoff from the Property resulting from the Property’s state of unfinished construction. Despite the City’s efforts to obtain voluntary compliance, construction activity still has not commenced. Adopting the draft Resolution will facilitate the City’s ability to abate the property.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The City Council’s actions are exempt from additional CEQA review as they are being made to protect public and private property and necessary to maintain services essential to the public, health and welfare (see Ca/Beach Advocates v.
City of Solana Beach (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 529: CEQA findings regarding an anticipated imminent emergency are valid)
Action Taken: By Consensus, the City Council carried this item over to the April 16, 2025 Regular City Council Meeting at 6:30 p.m.
1-B. APPOINTMENT OF REAL PROPERTY NEGOTIATORS
Action Taken: The City Council appointed the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Director of Finance, and City Attorney as the real property negotiators for Closed Session Item No. 2-B.

The City expended nearly $16 million to stabilize an unstable hillside on CII’s property located at to 1688 W. Garvey that presented an imminent threat to public safety, after CII failed to abate this public nuisance pursuant to a settlement agreement between the parties.

El Monte, CA 91733 (APN 5281012011, 5281012012) (the “Property”) as a performance deed of trust to compensate the City in the event it had to directly abate the Property. Upon CII’s failure to reimburse the City for the cost of abatement, the City initiated sale of the Property by a trustee foreclosure auction. Because the Property did not sell at the auction, title to the Property is transferred to the City.
S.B.S. Trust Deed Network served as the City’s agent handling all aspects of foreclosure on the Property. Its fees and costs, totaling $83,231.78 (approximately
3.5% of the appraised value of the Property), must be paid for title of the Property to be transferred to the City.

Ordinance – DRB Dissolution
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL
CODE DISSOLVING THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
The City Council of the City of Monterey Park does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1:Findings. The City Council finds and declares that:
A. On February 27, 1984 City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1615 and created the Architectural Review Board, to act as an advisory body, to ensure a high quality of architectural and design standards in buildings, landscaping, signed and general appearance of development projects so as to conserve use of land and maintain a proper relationship between the taxable value of real property and the cost of providing municipal services.
B. On April 13, 1987 City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1696 revising the Architectural Review Board and renaming it the “Design Review Boards” (“DRB”) to provide a professional and coordinated process of development review and administration.
C. On July 15, 2020 City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2181 revising the duties and responsibilities of the Planning Commission and DRB in order to streamline the City’s land use planning and permitting process, by adjusting responsibilities to be absorbed by the city staff, City Planner, or the Planning Commission. Referral of projects to the DRB can be made by the City Planner, Planning Commission, or the City Council.
D. Since the enactment of Ordinance No. 2181, city staff, the City Planner, and Planning Commission have provided design decisions and recommendations to applicants and developers. Further, new state laws have encouraged or mandated objective design standards to ensure a more efficient development process.
Consequently, a DRB meeting has not been requested to review projects related to design.
E. Special Joint Commission meetings scheduled in 2022 and 2024 and the DRB did not have a quorum, further demonstrating the diminished need for its functions.
F. After careful consideration and evaluation, the DRB’s functions and responsibilities are adequately dispersed to the City Planner, Planning Commission, and City Council, and the dissolution of the DRB is in the best interest of the City.
SECTION 2:Amendment. Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) sections
1.10.010(d), 2.56.030, and 2.56.040 are repealed in their entirety. MPMC section
21.14.140 is amended to replace references to the “Design Review Board” with “City Planner.”
Ordinance No.
SECTION 3:Environmental Review. This Ordinance was 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 Ordinance is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 4:Renumbering. All MPMC subsections affected by changes implemented by this Ordinance are appropriately renumbered.
SECTION 5:Electronic Signatures. This Ordinance 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 6:Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 7:Severability. If any part of this Ordinance 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 Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 8:Recordation. The City Clerk, or designee, is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of Monterey Park’s book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within 15 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, and cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.
SECTION 9:Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective 30 days after second reading and adoption.
(Mayor signature and attestation must be on the same page.) PASSED AND ADOPTED this ____ day of _________, 2025.

City Council Staff Report
Date: May 21, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 11.B.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Philip Lanzafame, Interim Director of Community Development Subject: Consider dissolution of the Design Review Board (DRB) and creating the Economic and Business Development Commission (EBDC) by consolidating the Business Improvement Advisory Committee (BIDAC) and Economic Development Advisory Commission (EDAC)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Introducing and waiving first reading of an Ordinance _________ dissolving the Design Review Board (“DRB”);
2. Adopting a resolution consolidating the Business Improvement Advisory Committee (“BIDAC”) and the Economic Development Advisory Commission (“EDAC”) into the Economic and Business Development Commission (“EBDC”);
3. Appointing the members of the EBDC; and
4. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the draft Ordinance and Resolution according to 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"). This activity is for general policies and procedure-making intended to promote economic development and streamlining of planning processes.
Accordingly, this activity is exempt from further review.
Executive Summary:
The dissolution and consolidation of committees and commissions aims to streamline operations, enhance collaboration, and provide a more comprehensive approach to planning and economic development within the City. Since 2020, the Planning Commission assumed most responsibilities of the DRB; that Board has not met in five years. The newly created EBDC will maintain the core responsibilities of both existing BIDAC and EDAC commissions.
Background:
To help in City governance, City Council established several commissions, boards, and committees (collectively, a "commission") in accordance with Monterey Park Municipal Code
("MPMC") Chapter 2.82. The Commissions are advisory to the City Council and are provided with limited decision making authority, which is conferred by MPMC 2.82 and City Council resolution.
Design Review Board (“DRB”)
The DRB is a body that was originally established as the Architectural Review Board by Ordinance No. 1615 (1984). Through its evolution as a body, the panel met to advise the Planning Commission and/or City Council regarding high quality design standards in building and development projects in order to conserve and maintain the aesthetic value of the community.
In July 2020, Ordinance No. 2181 established that DRB meetings would be required "on an annual basis, or as requested by the City Planner, the Planning Commission, or the City Council." The last DRB meeting took place on February 18, 2020. Between February and July 2020, all DRB meetings were canceled due to the pandemic. With the enactment of Ordinance No. 2181, the DRB became an ad hoc committee, meeting only when necessary.
While DRB meetings were scheduled in 2022 and 2024, they were canceled for lack of a quorum.
Ordinance No. 2181, shifted many of the DRB's responsibilities to the City Planner and, when necessary, the Planning Commission and/or City Council.
Dissolution of the DRB supports the City's Business Recovery Program, which seeks to streamline the development process by reducing the number of public meetings or hearings required for development projects. Additionally, in recent years, many new State laws also encourage and require streamlining of projects, especially those related to housing to ensure more efficient development process.
Business Improvement District Advisory Committee (“BIDAC”) and Economic Development Advisory Committee (“EDAC”)
Two City advisory commissions focus on overlapping areas of economic development and business improvement district operations:
1. The BIDAC is primarily responsible for the oversight and recommendations related to the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID).
2. The EDAC focuses on the broader economic development strategic plan and the City's overall economic health.
Each commission is comprised of five members and holds separate meetings (quarterly for BIDAC and monthly for EDAC). Both commissions operate under the City's guidance, with the Economic Development Manager as their staff liaison.
Maintaining two separate economic development advisory commissions results in redundancy and a lack of integrated strategic planning. To streamline advisory functions, improve communication, and ensure consistency, it is proposed to consolidate these two commissions into one unified advisory commission.
1. Proposed Commission Name:
o The new commission will be named the Economic and Business Development Commission (“EBDC”) to indicate the commission's advisory focus on economic development and business improvement.
2. Frequency of Meetings:
o The Commission will hold quarterly meetings with special meetings as needed, ensuring more consistent oversight and coordination.
3. Number of Commission Members:
o The number of commissioners will be set at five. This provides a broad range of expertise and representation while maintaining a manageable quorum, balancing Downtown business interests and Citywide economic development perspectives, with at least three commissioners owning property or operating a business in the Downtown Business Improvement District (“BID”). o Initial Appointment: It is recommended that the new commission be populated with active participants from the membership of the two existing commissions.
While EDAC and BIDAC are structured to have five seats each, current circumstances have resulted in fewer actively participating members. EDAC presently has one vacant seat and two active members. There are two other EDAC commissioners (EDAC Seat 3 and Seat 5) whose other obligations have caused them to miss meetings and become disengaged. BIDAC currently has one vacant seat and four active members; two members have “termed-out” and are serving on extended terms until a replacement is identified.
To ensure continuity and leverage the experience of the actively engaged members, it is recommended that the City Council appoint the existing two active members of EDAC and three of the four existing active members of BIDAC to become commissioners of the new EBDC. In addition to thanking the inactive commissioners for their service and phasing out those seats as part of the consolidation, the Commissioner occupying BIDAC Seat #3 has agreed to end his extended term and withdraw from service. This would result in five commissioners for the newly formed EBDC. It is necessary to reassign appointed seats and in some cases, the appointing Council member to reconcile the new commission as identified in the adopting resolution.
4. Economic and Business Development Commission Core Roles and Responsibilities:
o Economic Development Strategic Plan: Monitor and recommend the City's Economic Development Strategic Plan updates.
o Downtown Business District Management: Make recommendations to the City staff regarding the BID's operations, marketing, and revenue management. o BID Revenue Management: Make recommendations to the City staff regarding how revenue is derived from the charges, assessments, and contributions imposed by MPMC Chapter 5.82 and Streets and Highways Code § 36500, et seg.
o Business Support and Advocacy: Serve as liaison between the City and the business community, providing recommendations for support, resources, and
advocacy for local businesses.
5. Commission Membership Criteria:
o Downtown District Representation: At least three commissioners must own property or operate/manage a business within the BID.
o Citywide Representation: Commissioners must be Monterey Park residents with business experience or have a finance, economic, or development background.
6. City Staff Liaison Role:
o The Economic Development Manager, who currently serves as the liaison for BIDAC and EDAC, will serve as the staff liaison for the new commission.
7. The proposed EBDC will provide the following benefits:
o Streamlined Operations: Consolidating BIDAC and EDAC will reduce redundancy and enhance efficiency by having a single advisory commission, combining resources and staff time for a single commission rather than two. o Comprehensive Economic Vision: Unifying EDAC and BIDAC into the new EBDC will provide a more holistic and integrated approach to economic development, encompassing Downtown revitalization and Citywide initiatives, allowing for consistent, timely recommendations for both Downtown-specific and Citywide economic issues.
o Enhanced Collaboration: The consolidated commission will facilitate integrated discussions among Downtown stakeholders, residents, and business professionals with Citywide interests.
o Increased Efficiency and Effectiveness: The new commission will have fewer meetings overall and a more focused agenda during quarterly or special meetings.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This proposed commission consolidation supports the City's goal to strengthen the local economy and enhance housing opportunities by dissolving the DRB and consolidating BIDAC and EDAC into the EBDC. The consolidation will reduce redundancy, increase effectiveness and efficiency, enhance the City's ability to address the needs of its businesses and residents and promote sustainable economic growth and development.
Fiscal Impact:
No fiscal impact is associated with consolidating the BIDAC and EDAC commissions and dissolving the DRB (other than administrative costs associated with codifying the Ordinance).
Instead, the City may realize modest savings by reducing the frequency of separate meetings, consolidating noticing requirements, and centralizing staff support.

City Council Staff Report
Date: June 4, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.E.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: 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; and
2. 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.
Executive Summary:
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. The conditions giving rise to the declared local emergency continue to exist. This includes, without limitation, the following:
• Recovery efforts to address the widespread structure destruction and damage from the
windstorm and firestorm events are ongoing. This will continue to result in increased prices for construction products and contractor services. Additionally, recently implemented tariffs on construction material further increase prices for services and products. 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. This order remains effective. It is in the public interest for the City to jumpstart that process to assist 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 Attorney’s Office is working with SCE to move undergrounding forward as expeditiously as possible.
• 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 reimbursementfrom federal and state agencies for these costs.
Since the adoption of Resolution 2025-R3 the City awarded the following public works contracts:
Strategic Plan Goal:
Resolution No. 2025-R3 meets the City’s goal to maintain, build and modernize infrastructure and facilities to support the current and future needs of our city and community.
Fiscal Impact:
The costs for awarded contracts are budgeted within the City’s FY 2024-25 CIP.

City Council Staff Report
Date: June 4, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.F.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Amendment to Agreement 1980-A with Sebastian Waterworks, Inc., DBA Mr.
Rooter Plumbing of South San Gabriel
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Sixth Amendment with Sebastian Waterworks, Inc., DBA Mr. Rooter Plumbing of South San Gabriel, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for on-call commercial plumbing services at City-owned facilities in an amount not to exceed $205,000. The Amendment extends the term through June 30, 2026; and
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The Project results in minor alterations to existing public facilities involving no significant expansion of the existing use. The Project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts regarding noise, air quality, or water quality.
Executive Summary:
Sebastian Waterworks, Inc., DBA Mr. Rooter Plumbing of South San Gabriel currently provides on-call and after-hour emergency commercial plumbing services at various City-Owned facilities. It is recommended City Council authorize an amendment to the current contract for a not to exceed amount of $205,000 and extend the agreement for 12 months through June 30, 2026. The extension will allow staff to complete necessary replacements to the failing floor drains in the Engineering and PD jail areas, and prepare a notice inviting bids for a new on-call commercial plumbing services contract.
Background:
The City contracted with Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southern San Gabriel (“Mr. Rooter”) following a competitive bidding process for on-call commercial plumbing services held in 2017. Mr.
Rooter has since provided the City with reliable on-call commercial plumbing and after-hour emergency services at their original service rates through 2023 and with an increase effective
2024. Mr. Rooter’s maintenance services support the Public Works maintenance operations for various facilities. Additionally, the Recreation Department may use Mr. Rooter’s services for pool maintenance services. It is recommended that City Council authorize an Amendment to their agreement to consolidate services from various divisions to one agreement and extend the agreement for continuation of services through Fiscal Year 2025-26. Staff obtained service rates from other local vendors such as Lots Plumbing, Inc. and Crosby Plumbing, Inc. and Mr.
Rooter’s rates were still lower than their competitors. The proposed Amendment would extend the agreement’s term through June 30, 2026, allowing the Public Works Director to prepare a notice inviting bids for a new commercial plumbing services contract.
Strategic Plan Goal:
The proposed Amendment supports the City’s goal to maintain, build and modernize infrastructure and facilities to support the current and future needs of our City and Community.
Commercial plumbing services are essential to maintaining facilities and completing necessary public facility improvements.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost for the proposed amendment is $145,000. Commercial plumbing services are primarily funded by the City’s Building Maintenance Fund (506). There are sufficient funds in the FY 2024-2025 budget for services through June 30th, 2025. A budget of $145,000 for plumbing services is included in the FY 2025-2026 budget.

City Council Staff Report
Date: June 4, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.G.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Martha Garcia, Director of Finance
Subject: Receive and file the Cost Allocation Plan Study
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Receiving and filing the Cost Allocation Plan study; and
2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
Executive Summary:
The Finance Department oversees the comprehensive cost allocation process, which includes the Indirect Cost Allocation Plan (CAP). The primary purpose of the cost allocation plan is to ensure that the City's method of identifying and distributing indirect costs is fair, comprehensive, well-documented, and defendable.
The last CAP was completed in 2018, by Willdan Financial Services (Willdan). Considering Willdan’s extensive experience with the City, both with allocation plan preparation as well as cost-of-service analysis for the City’s user fees, in August of 2024, the City contracted with it to prepare an updated CAP Study.
Background:
The purpose of the CAP is to ensure the City identifies all costs associated with activities, including administrative overhead, to determine the true cost of providing various City services, as well as indirect costs attributable to enterprise and other chargeable funds.
The CAP determines the appropriate allocation of costs from internal service departments to the operating departments. Examples of internal services are City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Finance, and City Council. The direct cost centers, which are considered operating departments, are the divisions and funds that require support from internal services and provide services directly to the community through their day-to-day operations. Examples of operating departments are Police, Public Works, and the Community Development Department. The CAP allocates the costs of the internal services to the operating departments, based on the nature of the functions of each internal service upon which the operating
departments depend. This is done to determine the total cost associated with providing direct services. The overall goal of the cost allocation plan process is to allow cities to allocate a portion of the internal service costs to the operating departments, thus 1) accounting for “all” costs, direct and indirect, for each operating department, and 2) facilitating the calculation of a fully burdened cost estimate of providing services to the public.
The City’s current cost allocation rate of 25.4% is based on a CAP study last conducted in 2018 by Willdan. Considering that it has been six years since the last study, in August of 2024, city staff again contracted with Willdan to prepare a new CAP study to develop a current methodology, and associated outcomes linked to present day City organization and practices.
The new study supports an increase in the CAP in FY 2025-2026 budget of up to 45%.
This study includes two primary components: an Indirect Cost Allocation Plan (Indirect Costs) and an Internal Service Funds Cost Allocation Methodology. The Indirect Cost Allocation Plan aims to recover the General Fund's overhead costs of providing indirect support services to operating departments and programs. The Internal Service Funds Cost Allocation Methodology aims to develop a full cost allocation methodology to recover all associated annual operating costs of internal service funds from interagency customers.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This item supports Council Strategic Goal 2, "To Maintain Fiscal Stability of our City's Financial Resources". This comprehensive review and analysis of indirect costs ensures the City charges accurately reflect the cost of services.
Fiscal Impact:
The maximum proposed indirect cost rate of 45% is the recommended rate from Willdan to allow the City to adequately recover the full administration of indirect costs. This rate impacts certain fees identified in the City’s Master Schedule of Fees and Charges, which will be considered by the City Council at a future date. The Council may, at that time, determine whether to utilize the full indirect cost for individual fees, or adopt a lower rate.

1 Cost Allocation Plan
Certification of Cost Allocation Plan
This is to certify that I have reviewed the cost allocation plan submitted herewith and to the best of my knowledge and belief:
(1) All costs included in this proposal 3/31/2025 to establish cost allocations or billings for Fiscal Year 2025 are allowable in accordance with the requirements of this Part and the Federal award(s) to which they apply.
Unallowable costs have been adjusted for in allocating costs as indicated in the cost allocation plan. (2) All costs included in this proposal are properly allocable to Federal awards on the basis of a beneficial or causal relationship between the expenses incurred and the Federal awards to which they are allocated in accordance with applicable requirements. Further, the same costs that have been treated as indirect costs have not been claimed as direct costs. Similar types of costs have been accounted for consistently.
I declare that the foregoing is true and correct.

2 Cost Allocation Plan
Executive Summary
This cost allocation plan (“CAP”) summarizes a comprehensive analysis that has been completed for the City of Monterey Park, California (the “City”) to determine the appropriate allocation of costs from central service departments to the operating departments. The primary objective is to allocate costs from departments that provide services internally to operating departments that conduct the day-to-day operations necessary to serve the community. The internal service costs typically represent (a) incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective, and (b) not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. The term "indirect costs," as used herein, applies to costs of this type originating in the central service departments.
To ensure central service department costs are appropriately allocated to the operating departments, Willdan analyzed the City’s cost code structure to determine which types of costs are allowable versus unallowable in accordance with standard and accepted cost allocation principles. The term “allocable costs” as used herein, applies to costs that are allowable for allocation. Internal Service allocations to the operating departments are not included in the total central service allocation column below and as such are not included in the indirect cost rates listed.
The study is comprised of two separate allocation plans. Table 1 is the summary results of the allocation in compliance with the Office of Management and Budget Super Circular (the OMB Super Circular) and CFR Part 200 (Cost Principles). Table 2 that follows is the summary results of the full plan. The report below includes descriptions of the differences between the two plans, their separate purposes, and specific details of when the plans deviate from each other.

5 Cost Allocation Plan
Introduction
In the early 1970s, the cost allocation plan concept was introduced to many government agencies. The purpose of a typical cost allocation plan is to identify costs related to rendering internal central support services and allocate those costs to operating departments or programs that utilize and benefit from them, in a fair and equitable manner.
Before indirect costs and central support service charges may be claimed for reimbursement by an operating department, there must be some formal means of identifying, accumulating and distributing these types of costs to all benefiting departments. Regardless of whether an agency has a formal comprehensive cost accounting system, the best method of accumulating, identifying, and determining a distribution of indirect costs is a cost allocation plan.
A City is made up of many departments, each with their own specific purposes or functions. Departments whose primary function is to provide support internally to other City departments are called central services.
Examples of central services are City Manager, Finance, Human Resources, and City Council. Within these groups there are numerous functions performed that provide support to the direct cost centers. The direct cost centers, or departments and funds, that require support from Central Services and provide services directly to the community through their day-to-day operations, are called operating departments. Examples of operating departments are Police, Public Works, Community Development, and Recreation and Community Services. The cost allocation plan allocates the costs of the central services to the operating departments based on the nature of the functions of each central service, upon which the operating departments depend. This is done to determine the total cost associated with providing direct services. The overall goal of the cost allocation plan process is to allow cities to allocate a portion of the central service costs to the operating departments, thus 1) accounting for “all” costs, direct and indirect, for each operating department, and 2) facilitating the calculation of a fully burdened cost estimate of providing services to the public.
The purpose of this study is to:
Identify the central support and operating departments in the City; Identify the functions and services provided by the central departments; Identify allocable and non-allocable costs associated with the City’s central service departments; and
Distribute those costs to operating entities in a fair and equitable manner.
6 Cost Allocation Plan
Approach
Methodology
The way in which each Indirect Service provides support to the operating departments is determined in order to perform allocations in a manner consistent with the nature of that Indirect Service. This ensures that the costs can be allocated to each operating department in a fair and equitable way. The cost allocation plan identifies the functions of each central service department, and then determines a methodology to allocate or spread the central service costs in a manner that best represents the nature of those functions.
The mathematical representations of central service functions used to allocate indirect costs are commonly called distribution bases. A distribution basis is a set of data displayed as the level of measure of each department’s participation in a specific activity or City function. This basis is then used to distribute costs that reasonably relate to the activity or City function that the basis represents. Some examples of distribution bases are salary and benefits costs, number of full-time equivalent employees, frequencies of City council agenda items, and number of processed transactions. The data sets associated with these distribution bases for each department are collected to facilitate the allocation of indirect costs.
The methodology used for this cost allocation plan is the iterative method, which is one of the most equitable methods for allocating costs from central services to operating departments. While not used as prevalently as simpler allocation methods, it is widely considered to be the most accurate. The iterative method utilizes a recursive application of central service cost distribution to allocate indirect costs. In the first step, the allocable costs of central service departments are identified and distributed to all departments including the central service departments themselves, based on the appropriate allocation bases that were selected to represent the manner in which central services are utilized. This is repeated ad infinitum until all costs have been distributed to the operating departments, and none remain with the central service departments.
As an example, consider the allocation of central service costs associated with the Human Resources Department. The function of Human Resources is identified, and the appropriate distribution basis is determined to be the total full time equivalent personnel and salaries and benefits per department and fund. The allowable costs are then distributed to all City departments and funds based on their proportional share of full time equivalent personnel and salaries and benefits, including other central services. The costs allocated from central service to central service in the initial allocation are then allocated out using the same distribution methodology. This function is performed as many times as necessary until all costs for Human Resources have been allocated.
All central service departments are treated equally. That is to say, this method is performed concurrently for the allowable costs in each of the central service departments for each iteration until all costs associated with the central service departments have been allocated to each direct service department. The method is complete when the total amount of allocable costs remaining in the central service departments is equal to zero.
7 Cost Allocation Plan
Applications
Public agencies use cost allocation plans for many purposes such as internal accounting, the justification of user fees, application for reimbursement from federal programs or the determination of administrative effort associated with special districts and/or municipal service activities. In many of these cases, the agency will be required to certify that the costs identified are “reasonable”. Per the Code of Federal Regulations, a cost is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the cost. The question of reasonableness is particularly important when determining the amount that a public agency should be reimbursed for central service overhead activities associated with a federally funded program. Additionally, public agencies should consider special care to only identify the portion of central service costs that have not been reimbursed through other means (such as grants, user fee revenues, transfers from other departments or internal service funds) to avoid double-counting. These cost reductions are done before the allocation methodologies are used and are detailed within the model itself.
OMB Super Circular and 2 CFR Part 200
This report details the allocations for two separate cost allocation plans. The primary model, presented in text and tables in the below sections and in Appendix A, provides a plan that complies with the Office of Management and Budget Super Circular (the OMB Super Circular) and CFR Part 200 (Cost Principles) that are used to determine central overhead costs incurred while carrying out activities associated with Federal awards, cost reimbursement contracts and some other intergovernmental agreements (as required). The secondary model presented in Appendix B of this report is the full cost allocation plan, which the City should use for standard City operations and budgeting. Unless otherwise indicated, the details of this report and Appendix A contain the OMB compliant allocation plan. The Appendix B tables contain the full cost plan and utilizes the same distribution methodology as the OMB Compliant plan. While the overall methodology used for both plans is the same, there are specific guidelines that require additional cost exemptions for OMB Super Circular compliance outside of what was done for the full cost plan. Where such exemptions are done in the methodology has been explained below. Some commonly encountered examples that are usually exempt under OMB Super Circular guidelines are:
General Advertising
Bad Debt
Contingencies
Litigation
Debt Service
Entertainment
Capital
Lobbying
Legislative Body (City Council)

9 Cost Allocation Plan
Distribution Bases
Distribution bases are the allocation factors that may be used to distribute the allocable costs to all departments and funds. As discussed previously, distribution bases are measurable and readily available data that are utilized to represent activities or functions, and which are then used to distribute costs matching that activity or function. Below are the bases that were analyzed in this study and used to allocate Central Services costs to operating departments. Number of FTE Employees – The number of full-time equivalent personnel for each department and fund.
Modified Total Direct Cost – The total allowable expenditures budgeted for each department and fund for fiscal year 2025 which excludes capital and debt, and non-operational transfers. City Council Agenda Frequency – City Council agendas spanning a 12-month period were used to determine the number of times each department and fund had matters brought before the City Council.
Total Invoices – The total number of invoices processed for each department and fund for a year. Total Purchase Orders– The total number of purchase orders processed for each department and fund for a year.
Number of Recruitments– The total number of recruitments for each department and fund for a year.
Total Retirement Expenses within Fund 202– The total retirement expenses expense within Fund 202.

Allocable Costs and Distribution Bases
Allocable Costs
Table 3 identifies the allocable cost of each central service department for the OMB compliant allocation plan, with the total allocable costs for this study being $12,365,568. The total expenditures from the central service departments were $20,866,207. However, $8,500,640 of the expenditures identified as unallowable by the 200 CFR Part 200 and have been excluded from allocation for the OMB compliant plan. The primary exclusions were related to the City Council, Retiree Payouts, Lobbying, Election, City, California League of Cities membership, contingency, debt service, and capital outlay expenses. The remaining amount was distributed to the operating departments and the central services departments by distribution factor(s) that best represents the functions of each central service department and the demand placed on that central service by all City departments, as previously described in the Methodology section of this report. The allocation methodology for each central service is detailed in the following section of this report.

Iterative Allocation
The total allocable expenditures of each central service department were allocated to other departments (including both operating departments and other central service departments) based on the individual methodologies outlined above in Sections 1 through 11 of the Allocation Percentages chapter. Any cost allocated from central service to central service is then reallocated using the same methodology. This operation is done iteratively until all allocable costs are received by the operating departments and funds, and none remain with the central services. After completion of the iterative allocation method, a total combined allocable cost of $12,365,568 was distributed to all departments and funds until the allocable cost remained only in the operating departments and funds, and the amount of allocable costs remaining in central service departments was equal to zero.
The full cost plan follows the same methodology with the exception that all costs that were excluded solely for OMB compliance, but were reasonable for the full plan, were made allowable and included in the allocation. See Table B-1 for additional details for the full cost plan.
After implementing the iterative allocation methodology, all allocable central service costs have been distributed to the operating departments and funds. Table 1 in the Executive Summary of this report summarized the distribution of the total allocable cost of $12,365,568 to each recipient department for the OMB compliant CAP. Table 2 summarized the distribution of the total allocable cost of $13,526,488 to each recipient department for the full cost CAP.

Appendix B
Appendix B provides the table detailing the allocation performed in allocating central service costs for the full cost allocation plan. The methodology for the full plan is the same as for the OMB compliant plan, as it is reasonable and represents how indirect support is provided in the City. The difference between the two plans, as has been described in this report, is in the costs that can be allocated.

City Council Staff Report
Date: June 4, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.H.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Amendment to Agreement No. 2466-AB, and Task Order 2455-AA concerning the S. Garfield and S. Atlantic Water Projects
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to Agreement No. 2466-AB with J.A. Salazar, to increase the contract amount by $153,612; for a total of $3,736,402, plus $346,728 contingency; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a revised Task Order 2455-AA1, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with SA Associates., for an additional $137,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $367,000 for construction management and construction inspection services; and
3. Taking such additional, related action that may be desirable.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The Project results in minor alterations to existing public facilities involving no significant expansion of the existing use. The Project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
Executive Summary:
Capital Improvements Project (“CIP) No. 99032 – S. Atlantic Blvd and S. Garfield Ave Phase VI Water Main Improvements (“Project”) consists of the installation of water main along S.
Atlantic Blvd, S. Garfield Ave, and Harding Ave, including the construction of water service line replacement, installation of new fire hydrants and laterals, fire services lines, and appurtenances, valves, abandonment of existing water mains, tie-in to existing systems, and trench repair restoration. The City Council awarded the project construction to J.A. Salazar (“Contractor”) on February 19, 2025. Unforeseen conditions resulted in the need for change orders and extending the duration of the project. The Public Works Director (“Director”) recommends amending the current agreement with J.A. Salazar, increasing the contract amount by $153,612; for a total of $3,736,402, plus $346,728 contingency and revising the
Task Order 2455-AA1, with SA Associates., for an additional $137,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $367,000.

The City Council awarded the Project construction to J.A. Salazar on February 19, 2025. Once the project started, it was discovered that there exists a concrete road under the asphalt surface. City staff did pothole at various locations before the start of the project, to identify locations of utilities but did not encounter the concrete surface. The potholes were in the lanes adjacent to the curb, while the concrete road was under the two lanes on both sides of the centerline. None of the available plans and records showed the concrete road.
This discovery resulted in the Contractor providing the City with a change order proposal, to sawcut and haul away the concrete in the amount of $313,975.35 for the saw cutting and removal of the asphalt and concrete from both S. Atlantic and S. Garfield. The process also resulted in the increase of the project duration by 54 days as requested by the Contractor. The Director obtained independent cost estimate to verify the reasonability of the proposed cost estimate and the requested duration increase of the project and determined that is was fair.
In addition, due an increase in the size of a proposed vault for operation and maintenance, the Contractor provided a proposal of $13,036.97 for the cost difference with the original smaller vault. Staff also verified that the cost provided is fair. The increased size of the vault will not result in any increase in the project duration.
The Director is approving part of the required work on Atlantic and the vault increase using the existing contingency, and is requesting an increase in the Agreement with the Contractor to be able to pay for the additional required services.
As a result of the duration increase of the project, SA Associates provided the City with a proposal to amend their task order to reflect the new project duration, for an increase of $137,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $367,000.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the amendment to the J.A. Salazar Agreement to a not to exceed amount of $3,736,402, plus $346,728 contingency and approve the revision of Task Order 2455-AA1, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with SA Associates., a new not to exceed amount of $367,000.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This Project meets the City’s goal to maintain, build and modernize infrastructure and facilities to support the current and future needs of our city and community as it aims to replace old water lines and bring our water infrastructure up to current standards. Additionally, this project is part of the City’s water bond-funded projects intended to enhance water infrastructure in the City.
Fiscal Impact:
The FY 24-25 budget includes funding for CIP 99031 – S. Garfield and S. Atlantic Water Main replacements. If approved, the proposed Amendment to Agreement 2466-AB with J.A. Salazar would result in a new contract amount of $3,630,887 plus a revised contingency amount of $520,092 for a total of $4,140,979.
Additionally, the proposed revision to SA Associates Task Order 2455-AA1 would result in a new not to exceed amount of $367,000. Available funds from other Water CIP projects, that have not yet started, will be used to cover the increased costs for this project.

City Council Staff Report
Date: June 4, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.I.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Robert Aguirre, Director of Recreation & Community Services Memo Chavez, Recreation Supervisor
Subject: Amendment to agreement 2314-A with Corporate Coach Charters & Tours and increase the contract amount by $35,000 to provide recreation trips and event shuttle services in Fiscal Year 2025-26
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Approving an amendment to the agreement with Corporate Coach Charters & Tours to increase the contract amount by $35,000 to provide recreation trips and event shuttle services in Fiscal Year 2025-26; and
2. 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”). This activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, no further review is required.
Executive Summary:
The Recreation and Community Services Department utilizes Corporate Coach Charters & Tours to provide essential transportation services that support the department’s recreational programs, including daycare field trips, senior trips, and special event shuttles. The current agreement term is from July 2023 to June 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $60,000 which Corporate Coach Charters & Tours is approaching. City Council approval is required to increase the contract amount in excess of $60,000.
Due to increased participation and expanded program offerings, transportation needs have grown beyond that contemplated in the current agreement. To ensure continuity of service and avoid disruptions to scheduled activities, the Recreation and Community Services Director ("Director") is recommending the City Council approve an amendment to the agreement and authorize an increase of $35,000 to the contract amount, for a total of $95,000.
This action will enable the Recreation and Community Services Department ("Department") to maintain its programming schedule and continue delivering recreational opportunities that enhance community engagement and quality of life for residents of all ages.
Background:
Corporate Coach Charters & Tours provides transportation services for the Department, supporting various community programs. These programs include daycare field trips, the annual Hollywood Bowl trip, senior leisure trips, and special event shuttles for the Lunar New Year and Cherry Blossom festivals. These services are essential to the specialized recreational programs, which cater to diverse populations within the community.
The proposed amendment is exempt from bidding pursuant to Monterey Park Municipal Code ("MPMC") section 3.20.050(2) as the City has an existing agreement with Corporate Coach Charters & Tours.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Fiscal Impact:
An amendment to the agreement with Corporate Coach Charters & Tours will increase the agreement amount by $35,000, for a total of $95,000, to cover the anticipated expenditures in the 2025-26 Fiscal Year. These funds will be budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025-26 with Prop A fund 238-6511 as part of the regular budgeting process.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY PARK DECLARING JUNE 6, 2025, NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE
AWARENESS DAY AND JUNE 7-8, 2025, AS WEAR ORANGE
WEEKEND IN MONTEREY PARK
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Monterey Park as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:
A. Every day in the United States, more than 120 people are killed as a result of gun violence. Every year in the United States, over 40,000 people are killed with guns and approximately 85,000 are shot and wounded.
B. The gun homicide rate in the United States is 26 times higher than that of other developed countries, but research shows that common sense and public safety laws can regulate gun violence.
C. The first Friday in June marks the beginning of a three-day movement honoring the victims and survivors of gun violence and calling for an end to the epidemic. In 2025, National Gun Violence Awareness Day is observed on June 6 and Wear Orange Weekend is observed on June 7-8.
D. National Gun Violence Awareness Day began on June 2, 2015, in honor of what would have been Hadiya Pendleton’s 18th birthday. Hadiya was a 15-year-old girl who was tragically shot and killed in Chicago on January 29, 2013.
E. In response to this tragedy, Haidya’s friends wore orange to honor her and encouraged others to also do so to raise awareness and to advocate for a future that is free from gun violence.
F. Wear Orange Weekend follows National Gun Violence Awareness Day and honors the thousands of people in the United States whose lives are taken or forever changed by gun violence each year. Orange was chosen because it represents the color hunters wear to protect themselves from gunfire.
G. The Monterey Park City Council has advocated for gun safety and gun violence prevention. In light of the January 21, 2023, mass shooting incident, the Monterey Park City Council adopted firearm safety ordinances and added new chapters to the Monterey Park Municipal Code to protect the community from violence resulting from firearms.
H. In an effort to practice and promote greater awareness of gun violence and gun safety initiatives, the Monterey Park City Council also hosted a Gun Violence
Resolution No.
Restraining Order (GVRO) Training to educate the public on how to a GVRO can protect themselves, their loved ones, and the community.
I. The City of Monterey Park calls on its residents to practice and promote greater awareness of gun violence and gun safety and give heightened attention to gun violence awareness during the summer months when there is a prominent increase in gun violence. More information regarding firearm safety, rules, and other resources can be found on the City of Monterey Park’s website at https://www.montereypark.ca.gov/1592/Firearms.
J. The City of Monterey Park encourages residents to wear orange on Wear Orange Weekend to show that they are not targets and do not have to live in fear that gunfire can ring out at any moment. Community members and leaders are also encouraged to collaboratively work together towards finding ways to make Monterey Park a safer community.
K. The City of Monterey Park memorializes the victims of the Star Ballroom shooting, as well as all the victims who have been killed or injured due to gun violence, in declaring June 6, 2025, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day and June 7-8, 2025, as Wear Orange Weekend in the City of Monterey Park.
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.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of June, 2025.

City Council Staff Report
Date: June 4, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 10.A.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Philip Lanzafame, Interim Director of Community Development Subject: Continued public hearing to consider introduction and first reading of an Ordinance amending the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) to implement the General Plan regulating mixed use development and development standards (ZCA 25-02)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Opening the public hearing and taking testimonial and documentary evidence;
2. After closing the public hearing and considering the evidence submitted during that public hearing, introducing and waiving first reading of Ordinance No. _____ amending the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) to implement the General Plan regulating mixed use development and development standards; and
3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Ordinance pursuant to 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”). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15062, the City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is not subject to further review under CEQA because the previous CEQA documents adopted by the City Council (see Resolution Nos. 12124 and 2022-R2) adequately analyze the changes contemplated by this Ordinance.
Type of Action (Legislative; Quasi-Judicial; or Advisory):
In considering the Zoning Code Amendment, the City Council acts in its discretionary legislative capacity. The City Council must make the following findings pursuant to MPMC §
21.38.050:
• That the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan;
• That the proposed amendment will not adversely affect surrounding properties; and • That the proposed amendment promotes public health, safety, and general welfare and serves the goals and purposes of the Zoning Code.
These findings are included in the attached Ordinance.
Executive Summary:
The City’s General Plan contains the Revised Monterey Park 2040 Land Use Element (“LUE”) and 6th cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element (“HE”) establishing a vision and long-term goals for development, housing, and redevelopment within the City.
The attached Ordinance implements the LUE and HE by amending the MPMC to allow residential and mixed use development in mixed use zones, consistent with the LUE, subject to those development standards in the underlying zone. These changes clarify that the General Plan applies to all properties, takes precedence over conflicting or obsolete regulations, and creates a consistent framework that allows for expanded housing opportunities consistent with the City’s vision and long-term development goals.
This item was originally noticed for public hearing at the May 7, 2025, City Council meeting at which time the Interim Director of Community Development (“Director”) requested a continuance. The City Council continued the public hearing to June 4, 2025. The draft ordinance is attached for the Council’s consideration.
Background:
On November 3, 2020, City voters approved Measure JJ (Ordinance No. 2198) which adopted the Revised LUE and authorized the City Council to take all appropriate action to implement the LUE.
In March 2023, the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), certified the City’s HE. Government Code § 65583(c) requires that cities include programs which set forth a schedule of actions the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the HE.
HE and LUE Programs
The HE and LUE included several programs that reconcile the General Plan and MPMC to encourage the production of a variety of housing types and at various affordability levels, including:
HE Program 7 and LUE Implementation Program 6 require the City to either amend or repeal the North Atlantic, Mid Atlantic and Garvey-Garfield Specific Plans (collectively, the “Specific Plans”) and replace them with zoning designations consistent with the LUE.
HE Program 11 and LUE Implementation Program 1 require the City to resolve inconsistencies between the MPMC and the General Plan related to mixed-use areas.
Currently, the P-D overlay serves as the mechanism through which the MPMC implements the LUE’s mixed-use designation. The HE and LUE, however, contemplate creating a new zoning designation to implement the mixed-use designation. Creating a new zoning designation requires, among other things, the development of standards and procedures, zone changes, and amendments to the adopted zoning map which are anticipated to exceed staff’s capacity and take more time to carefully implement.
Additionally, the detailed Specific Plans require an extensive analysis of land use, circulation, and right-of-way requirements before being amended or repealed. Such analysis requires additional time to ensure that important land use and infrastructure requirements are not inadvertently altered or repealed. To reconcile the time needed for such analysis with the deadlines adopted by the City Council in the HE resulted in the proposed action: a third way to both implement the General Plan and preserve important policy considerations regulated by the existing Specific Plans.
If adopted, the proposed ordinance immediately implements various programs of the HE and LUE while more comprehensive updates are planned and prepared. Specifically, the ordinance amends the MPMC’s general provisions by providing that residential and mixed-use development are permitted when allowed by the LUE designation, subject to the development standards in the underlying zone. The LUE mixed-use designation allows for, both, residential and mixed-use development. Accordingly, the ordinance will allow residential and mixed-use development within the LUE’s mixed-use designation.
Strategic Plan Goal:
The attached ordinance satisfies the 2025-26 Strategic Plan Goal to “Strengthen our local economy and enhance housing opportunities” by achieving the goals and programs set forth in the HE, reducing barriers to encourage housing development, and supporting economic growth in the City.
Legal Notification:
A public hearing was scheduled for May 7, 2025, and a legal notice was duly posted at City Hall, Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library, and Langley Center and published in Monterey Park Press on April 17, 2025, with affidavits of posting on file. Additionally, 358 notices were mailed to affected property owners. At the May 7, 2025 meeting, the City Council continued the hearing to June 4, 2025.
Fiscal Impact:
There are no identifiable fiscal impacts associated with adopting the Ordinance itself (other than costs associated with codifying the Ordinance).

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL
CODE TO IMPLEMENT THE GENERAL PLAN CONCERNING MIXED
USE DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The City Council of the City of Monterey Park does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. The City initiated the proposed amendments to the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) pursuant to MPMC § 21.38.020 and § 21.42.010.
B. This Ordinance was reviewed by the Interim City Planner for, in part, consistency with the General Plan, and conformity with the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”).
C. The Interim City Planner completed review and scheduled a public hearing regarding this Ordinance before the City Council for June 4, 2025.
D. On June 4, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed Ordinance including, without limitation, information provided to the City Council by the City Planner and public testimony; and
E. The findings in this Ordinance are made based on the entire administrative record including testimony and evidence presented the City Council at its March 19, 2025, public hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the City Planner.
SECTION 2:Zone Text Amendment Findings. Pursuant to Government Code § 65860 and MPMC § 21.38.050, the City Council finds as follows:
A. Amendments to the MPMC accomplished by this Ordinance are consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan including, without limitation:
1. General Plan Policy 19.8— Encourage a diverse mix of uses that are innovative, competitive, entrepreneurial, local, and sustainable, thereby promoting economic development, increasing City revenues, expanding job growth, increasing property values, and meeting residents’ and visitors’ desires and needs.
2. General Plan Policy 19.9— Accommodate a variety of housing
Ordinance No.
options, including medium- and high-density apartments and condominiums, live/work units, and mixed-use buildings with a residential component.
3. Housing Element Goal 2— Remove governmental constraints to the provision of housing to the greatest extent feasible
4. Housing Element Policy 2.4—Update the MPMC to facilitate residential and mixed-use development in the community.
B. The proposed text amendments are aimed at meeting and implementing the objectives of the General Plan and compliance with all applicable zoning regulations will ensure that any future project will not adversely affect surrounding properties.
C. These regulations promote public health, safety, and general welfare and serve the goals and purposes of the MPMC’s zoning regulations. Among other things, the regulations will reduce barriers to the development of housing to address the California Legislature’s determination regarding a statewide housing shortage.
SECTION 4: Environmental Review. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Ordinance pursuant to 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 City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is not subject to further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) for the following reasons:
A. This Ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2)); B. There is no possibility that the Ordinance itself may have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3));
C. The Ordinance, by itself, does not constitute a “project” as defined in the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). The Ordinance is for general policies and procedure-making. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment; and
D. The previous CEQA documents adopted by the City Council (see, Resolution Nos. 12124 and 2022-R2) adequately analyze the changes contemplated by this Ordinance:
1. On December 5, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12124 certifying the Monterey Park Focused General Plan Update
Ordinance No.
Final Environmental Impact Report (the “FEIR”) (State Clearing House (SCH) No. 2001-01-1074) (Exhibit A), which is incorporated by reference and found at:
https://www.montereypark.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/16507/Re so-12124---attachments-included.
2. On January 19, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022- R2 adopting an addendum to the FEIR analyzing the impacts of the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element update (“FEIR Addendum”), which is incorporated by reference and found at:
https://www.montereypark.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/16506/20 22-R2---Addendum-to-the-Final-Environmental-Impact-Report.
3. The Housing Goals are an activity contemplated by the EIR and Addendum.
4. The Housing Goals do not contemplate any changes which will require major revisions to the EIR or Addendum, nor are there any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the EIR and Addendum were undertaken.
5. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR and Addendum were certified showing: (1) the Housing Goals will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR or Addendum; and (2) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR or Addendum.
SECTION 5: Planning Agency. Pursuant to MPMC § 2.56.020(a), the City Council is acting as the Planning Agency for purposes of the Project.
SECTION 6: Amendment. MPMC § 21.02.070 is amended and restated as follows:
“§ 21.02.070 Relationship with the General Plan.
This Title is applicable to all real property within the City, and provides the legislative framework for implementing the goals, policies, plans, principles, and standards of the General Plan.
Notwithstanding anything in the applicable zone, residential and mixed-use development are permitted when allowed by the General Plan, subject to discretionary entitlements that may be required pursuant to this Title. Development standards are those contained in the General Plan and the underlying zoning designation.”
Ordinance No.
SECTION 7: Electronic Signatures. This Ordinance 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 8: Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 9: 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 10: Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determination in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 11: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance 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 Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 12: Preservation. This Resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or prelude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Resolution’s effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 13: 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 have been 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 14: Recordation. The City Clerk, or designee, is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of Monterey Park’s book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of
Ordinance No.
this meeting; and, within 15 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, and cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.
SECTION 15: Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective 30 days after second reading and adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this ____ day of _________, 2025.

City Council Staff Report
Date: June 4, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 10.B.
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Martha Garcia, Director of Finance
Subject: Public Hearing and Approval of the FY2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, and FY2025-2026 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Programs
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Conduct a public hearing and receive public comments and testimony on the FY 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan (“CP”), and FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan (“AAP”);
2. Approve and authorize the submittal of the FY 2025-2029 CP, and FY 2025-2026 AAP, including Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) and HOME Investment Partnerships (“HOME”) funding recommendations;
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute all appropriate and necessary documents to receive funding and implement approved use and make necessary budget adjustments based on HUD's final allocation amount;
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute sub-recipient agreements with the non-profit organizations receiving CDBG and HOME allocations in the AAP; and
5. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
Executive Summary:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) provides Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) and HOME Investment Partnerships (“HOME”) funds to the City of Monterey Park. As part of the process to receive funding, the City must develop and submit the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan (“CP”), and the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan (“AAP”). The City’s current documents will expire on June 30, 2025. These documents outline extensive strategies that align community needs with available resources to achieve statutory goals of promoting decent housing, creating a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, particularly for low- and moderate income persons.
Background:
The City’s CP and AAP are essential planning documents that collectively guide the City’s approach to housing, community development, and equitable access to federal funding.
Together, these plans create a framework to address local needs while ensuring compliance with HUD regulations.
Preparation for the FY 2025-2029 CP and FY 2025-2026 AAP began at the end of 2024, and included community and stakeholder surveys and community meetings. The purpose of the public hearing is to approve the community needs and priorities for the FY 2025-2029 CP; it serves as an opportunity for the public to provide comments on the FY 2025-2029 CP and the FY 2025-2026 AAP before the City Council’s approval. In addition, the AAP provides City Council with the opportunity to approve the FY 2025-2026 CDBG and HOME Funding Allocations.
The details and purpose of each document are provided below:
• CP: The CP serves as a comprehensive housing affordability strategy, community development plan, and submission for funding under any of HUD’s entitlement formula grant programs. The CP establishes priority needs and goals that align with community needs and ensures compliance with HUD national objectives and regulations.
• AAP: The AAP is an operational document that details how the City of Monterey Park will implement the CP on a yearly basis. It also serves as the annual application for federal funds under the HUD CDBG and HOME formula grant program.
HUD has released the City’s entitlement allocation for FY 2025-2026, and staff is anticipating approximately $563,008 in CDBG funding and approximately $285,787.37 in HOME funds. All proposed activities' budgets will be proportionally increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match actual allocation amounts. After extensive consideration, staff is recommending that the activities receive funding through the CDBG and HOME programs, as detailed in the City's FY 2025-2026 AAP (Attachment A) and summarized below:
CDBG Program: There are three broad funding categories that are considered eligible under CDBG regulations. A project must either (1) provide benefits to low- or moderate-income persons, (2) eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or (3) satisfy an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15% ($84,451) of the annual grant amount can be used for public service; no more than 20% ($112,601) of the grant amount can be used for Planning and Administration, and at least 70% ($394,106) of all funds must be used for low-to- moderate-income activities.
The proposed PY 2025-2026 One Year Action Plan proposed activities and funding are as follows:
2025-26 CDBG ACTIVITIES
Administration $112,601.00
Fair Housing $ 20,000.00
ADA/Sidewalk Improvement Project $215,203.50
Facility Improvement Project $215,203.50
Total 2025-2026 Allocation $563,008.00
HOME Program: In reviewing the HOME funds recommendations, no more than 10% ($28,578) can be used for Planning and Administration. The balance of funds ($257,209) can
only be used for housing activities. Previous amounts were carried over from prior years and budgeted for Affordable Housing projects.
The proposed Program Year (PY) 2025-2026 One Year Action Plan proposed activities and funding are as follows:
2025-26 HOME ACTIVITIES
Administration $28,578.00
Rehabilitation Projects $214,340.37
CHDO Project $ 42,869.00
Total 2025-2026 Allocation $285,787.37
Citizen Participation Process
Federal laws relating to HUD funds require cities to provide citizens with specific information about the amount of monies expected for the programs and the range of activities that may be undertaken with those funds. Federal regulations also require a jurisdiction to hold a public hearing to obtain the views of citizens on such issues as housing, other community development needs, and the use of the CDBG and HOME monies.
The public notice was published on May 2, 2025, in the Monterey Park Progress newspaper to inform the public of the 30-day public review period and Public Hearing for discussions on the 2025-2029 CP, and 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan. The documents were available for public review from May 2, 2025, through June 3, 2025. At the time of preparing this staff report, City staff have not received any written comments concerning the documents.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This item supports Council Strategic Goal 3
"Strengthen our Local Economy and
Enhance Housing Opportunities" by
facilitating housing development and
affordability, by way of the adoption of a
new 5-Year Consolidated Plan for HUD
HOME/CDBG funding programs.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund. The FY 2025-2026 AAP includes HUD funding allocation for CDBG, and HOME programs.

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires the City of Monterey Park to complete a Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) to receive funds under Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) programs. ConPlans are required to be prepared every five years and include five Annual Action Plans to be produced for each year.
The ConPlan serves four functions:
• It is a planning document, built upon public participation and input. • It is the application for funds under HUD's formula grant programs: CDBG and HOME. • It articulates local priorities.
• It is a five-year strategy the jurisdiction will follow in implementing HUD programs.
The City of Monterey Park (“City”) has developed the ConPlan through comprehensive consultation and citizen input. The ConPlan identifies the City’s needs in housing, community development, and economic development. It also presents the City’s long -term strategies to address the identified needs. The One- Year Action Plans provide the activities that will be carried out for the specific year and funding amounts for each activity.
A completed ConPlan describes the lead agency responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the plan and agencies, groups, and organizations that participate in the process. It also includes a summary of the citizen participation process, public comments, and efforts made to broaden public participation in preparing the plan.
The ConPlan includes the following sections:
• Executive Summary
• The Process
• Needs Assessment
• Market Analysis
• Strategic Plan
• First Year Annual Action Plan
The first year's annual action plan (Action Plan) for fiscal year 2025 (FY25) is a part of the ConPlan. The FY 25 Action Plan identifies specific goals consistent with the Five-Year Strategy and lists projects, programs and resources that will be used to implement the Strategy during Fiscal Year 2025-2026. This ConP lan covers the period from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029.
Consolidated Plan MONTEREY PARK 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The strategies and projects outlined in the Con Plan are intended to benefit low- and moderate-income residents, improve distressed and blighted neighborhoods with high concentrations of low - and moderate-income residents, and positively impact the City as a whole. These Strategies will be coordinated with other federal and state grant programs and local initiatives to meet the objectives outlined in the plan. The Annual Action Plan will focus on goals established within the Five -Year 2025- 2029 Con Plan-Strategic Plan.
The primary objective of the CDBG Program is the development of viable urban communities, which is achieved by providing the following General Objective Categories. The City of Monterey Park incorporated outcome measures for activities in accordance with the Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006, which require the following Performance Measure Objectives/Outcomes to be associated with each activity funded:
General Objective Categories - Activities will meet one of the following:
• Decent Housing (DH)
• A Suitable Living Environment (SL)
• Economic Opportunity (EO) General
Outcome Categories - Activities will meet one of the following:
• Availability/Accessibility (1)
• Affordability (2)
• Sustainability (3)
The City of Monterey Park has a range of housing and community development needs. CDBG funds alone are not adequate to address the myriad of needs identified during the public outreach process and summarized in the Needs Assessment of this ConPlan . Recognizing the national objectives of the CDBG program and specific program regulations, the City intends to use CDBG funds to coordinate programs, services, and projects to create a decent and suitable living environment to benefit low - and moderate- income households and those with special needs. Needs which have been determined to be a High Priority level will receive funding during the Five -Year ConPlan. The Low Priority Need may be funded based on the availability of funds. The priorities for the FY 2025 -2029 ConPlan established in consu ltation with residents and community groups will be prioritized in the following order:
Consolidated Plan MONTEREY PARK 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
High Priority
• Improve, Maintain, and Expand Affordable Housing
• Promote Equal Housing Opportunity
• Support Economic Development Opportunities
• Planning and Administration
Evaluation of past performance
The City has made progress meeting Con Plan goals and priority needs. Many of the activities performed have contributed to stabilizing the City's low -income neighborhoods and improved the living conditions of low- to moderate-income families and individuals. Overall, the strategies and goals outlined in the Con Plan are evaluated and reported out annually through the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) process. The CAPER covers a program year (July 1 st-June 30th) and is prepared by the City’s Housing Department.
The City has made progress meeting Con Plan goals and priority needs. Many of the activities performed have contributed to stabilizing the City's low -income neighborhoods and improved the living conditions of low- to moderate-income families and individuals.
• Major activities focused on preservation of the City’s affordable housing stock through renovations performed on owner -occupied housing. The scope of the renovations varied depending on the program and household needs with improvements ranging from basic health and safety improvements to full-scale renovation projects eliminating blighted conditions. • Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) administered by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) on behalf of the City of Monterey Park, offered tenant assistance for those qualifying low- to moderate-income residents.
• Housing, supportive services and case management were provided to homeless persons through several of the City's County partners such as Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority. • The City’s subrecipient, Housing Rights Center, continued to assist the City in meeting its obligations to affirmatively further fair housing choice within Monterey Park.
The most recent past performance evaluation and reporting can be found in the FY 20 23–2024 Comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). This report provides both a summary and details of resources, distribution, and accomplishments for CDBG and HOME funded programs.

Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City launched a comprehensive outreach strategy to enhance and broaden citizen participation in the preparation of the ConPlan. The City informed the public that it was in the process of creating the 2025- 2029 ConPlan and encouraged public participation by hosting community workshops, a focus group meeting, numerous one-on-one interviews, and a public hearing.
In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development of the 2025-2029 ConPlan through community workshops, focus group meeting, and a public hearing. Efforts were made to encourag e participation by low - and moderate- income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Efforts were made to encourage the participation of minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities.
The City conducted a combined community participation process for its 2025 -2029 ConPlan and Assessment of Fair Housing as outlined in the Citizen Participation Plan. The City engaged in a multi - pronged approach to seek and obtain meaningful feedback from residents, agencies, and service providers, along with members of the public.
