9.D. Declaration of Surplus Property - Fire Department SCBAs In December 2024, City Council approved an Emergency Declaration to waive the bidding process and purchase new Fire Department self-contained breathing apparatus ("SCBA"), which included cylinders and masks. The purchase was completed in April 2025 and the new equipment was placed in service on all apparatus. The new SCBA platform allows the City of Monterey Park Fire Department to remain compliant with the current standards set forth by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ("NIOSH") and Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") (OSHA 1910.134.2).

The Interim Fire Chief is requesting the City Manager to adopt a resolution allowing the City to donate the surplus SCBA equipment to Monterey Park's sister city, Morelia, in Mexico. The surplus equipment still operates correctly but is not certified for use within the United States of America.

3. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to administer these funds as needed in response to future immigration-related needs impacting the Monterey Park community.

Action Taken: The City Council approved the recommendations, on Consent Calendar.

9.F. Purchase of Fire Department Extrication Tools
The Monterey Park Fire Department ("Department") currently uses hydraulic extrication tools that are over 15 years old. While the Department has maintained the tools, they are heavier, slower to deploy, and require cumbersome hoses and power units, which can delay response times in critical situations. Recently, the Department was notified that the current extrication tools have become outdated per the manufacturer, and therefore, finding replacement parts will become increasingly difficult.

The Interim Fire Chief ("Chief") is requesting the purchase of replacement battery- powered extrication tools from Western Extrication Specialists to ensure the Department continues to maintain and enhance its ability to respond effectively to emergencies.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Waiving bidding requirements pursuant to Monterey Park Municipal Code §

3.20.050(2) and authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Western Extrication Specialists, Inc., in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the purchase of Fire Department extrication tools in an amount not to exceed $94,398.67; and

9.G. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to apply for, receive and appropriate grant funds for the California State Parks Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant
The Barnes Park Pool has remained closed since 2021 due to its deteriorating condition and inadequate recirculation system. Additionally, the facility no longer meets current accessibility requirements pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”
). The Recreation and Community Services Director (“Director”) previously pursued grant funding for this project in 2016, 2019, and 2021 but was unsuccessful.

The California State Parks Land and Water Conservation Fund (“LWCF”) provides an opportunity to apply for grant funding to support the development of new outdoor recreational amenities that promote public health and wellness. A resolution approving an application is a requirement of the LWCF grant, and therefore, the Director recommends the adoption of the attached resolution (to the staff report).

The Director requests City Council approval to enter into an agreement with BOA Architecture in an amount not to exceed $139,300, for the preparation of PS&E for City Hall Council Chamber and Restroom remodeling (the “Contract”).

The cost of services and facilities necessary to provide solid waste services to the City has increased since that time. Most notably, new state regulations for the collection and disposal of solid waste, recycling, and organic waste result in higher operational and administrative costs. In January 2024, the City entered into an agreement with R3 Consultants to complete a study on the costs for the management and administration of solid waste services. R3 developed refuse franchise fee rates that can effectively run the City's refuse enterprise.

On May 30, 2025, Proposition 218 notices were mailed to each parcel number in the City of Monterey Park. The 218 notices provided the proposed refuse franchise fee rates, instructions on how to protest the proposed rates, and a date of July 16, 2025 as the public hearing date when the proposed refused franchise fee rates would be considered for adoption.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Opening the public hearing;

2. Receiving all written and verbal testimony regarding the proposed refuse franchise fee rates;

3. Determining whether there is a majority protest against the proposed rates;

4. If no majority protest exists, that the City Council introduce and waive first reading of Ordinance No. _____ - Setting the Refuse Franchise Fee Rates (Attachment 1 to the staff report); and

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

Public Speakers:
• Vanessa Yeung spoke about the lack of translators at the City Council meetings, conveyed her concerns regarding facilities that have yet to be updated and questioned where the City's money was being used.

• Brian Chen expressed his frustrations with the proposed solid waste adjustments.

• Larry LaCross proclaimed his disapproval of the mailing process of Proposition 218. He believed the price increase is unnecessary to the community.

• Wing Law spoke about his previous experiences with Athens before his services were switched with WARE Disposal. He claimed the information received on the Proposition 218 ballot was insufficient for the public and believed the public should receive all necessary information to complete it.

• Vivian voiced her opposition to the solid waste price increase and requested an extension to allow residents more time to turn in their ballots.

• Teresa was given seven minutes as Astrid yielded her time to her. Teresa commented on the mass confusion regarding the Proposition 218 ballot. She claimed it leads to a lack of transparency and reminded the City Council of their ability to vote against or modify the proposed solid waste adjustments.

• John Lem conveyed his disapproval of the proposed solid waste adjustments and advocated for the residents who silently protested the adjustments.

• Sen Cheng, accompanied by volunteer translator Vivian, protested the proposed solid waste adjustments. He provided a comparison of the permit fees issued by neighboring cities, claiming Monterey Park was priced the highest and questioned how the money the city received from the residents was being used.

• Cham Kim Do spoke in opposition to the increased solid waste adjustments and conveyed her frustrations with the employees at WARE Disposal regarding the services provided to her.

• Lucia Roybal explained the process of issuing Proposition 218 and reiterated the alleged lack of transparency between the City and the residents.

• Serena Chen advocated for the silent protesters who are against the Proposition 218 ballot and depicted her frustrations regarding the price increase.

• Kathy Bahm claimed she did not receive the Proposition 218 ballot and spoke about her experience with the employees at WARE Disposal.

• City Clerk Yee received and filed to the record two written communications from Linda Bell and Steward Hiromi Phillips expressing their disapproval of the proposed solid waste adjustments.

Discussion: Public Works Manager Tipan shared a PowerPoint presentation explaining the process of Proposition 218, the mailing of the ballots and detailed the solid waste rate adjustments due to updated franchise fees.

The City Council ensued in a discussion regarding the proposed solid waste rates, the mailing of the ballots to property owners throughout the city and the opportunity to extend the public hearing to a later City Council meeting date.

City Council Staff Report

Date: August 20, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.B.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Adoption of an 1) Urgency Ordinance and 2) Regular Ordinance Establishing Solid Waste Franchise Fees

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Adopting an Urgency Ordinance by at least four-fifths (4/5) vote to establish solid waste franchise fees effective September 1, 2025;

2. Waiving the second reading, including by title, and adopting the Regular Ordinance to establish solid waste franchise fees; and

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

Executive Summary:

On July 16, 2025, the City Council began conducting a duly noticed Proposition 218 public hearing to consider the results of the protest proceeding and to consider first reading of the attached Regular Ordinance to establish proposed solid waste franchise fees (“Fees”). The City Council continued the public hearing to August 6, 2025 to allow additional time for eligible property owners to file protests.

At its August 6, 2025 City Council meeting, the Council conducted and concluded the continued Proposition 218 protest hearing and introduced the Regular Ordinance to set the amount of Fees indicated in Exhibit “A” to the Regular Ordinance. The Council directed that the City implement the adjusted Fees in phases: 50% retroactively as of September 1, 2025 and 100% of the Fees as of September 1, 2026. The Regular Ordinance would become effective 30 days following adoption.

In addition to the Regular Ordinance, the Public Works Director proposes an Urgency Ordinance for adoption to set the same Fees effective September 1, 2025, including the above-referenced phased-in approach. The Urgency Ordinance would become effective immediately upon four-fifths (4/5) City Council approval. Other than the findings needed to allow for its immediate effect, the Urgency Ordinance is the same as the regular ordinance.

ORDINANCE NO.

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE SETTING THE AMOUNT OF SOLID WASTE
FRANCHISE FEES PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE §
5471 AND MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.08.

The City Council does ordain as follows:

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

A. The City of Monterey Park requires a reliable solid waste and recycling collection service to protect the public general welfare, health and safety;

B. The purpose of solid waste franchise fees (“Fees”) is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by providing reliable and adequate solid waste collection services for the City;

C. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Fees and the cost of services and facilities necessary to deliver solid waste services to the residents and non-residential development of the City;

D. Notice regarding the Fees included in this Ordinance was provided in accordance with California Constitution Article XIIID, § 6(c) and Government Code § 54354.5;

E. On July 16, 2025, the City Council opened a public hearing to consider the results of the protest proceeding and to consider adoption of the proposed Fees. The City Council continued the public hearing to August 6, 2025 to allow additional time for eligible property owners to file protests;

F. On August 6, 2025, the City Council conducted and concluded the continued public hearing to consider the results of the protest proceeding and to consider adoption of the proposed Fees;

G. This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.; “CEQA Guidelines”) because it establishes, modifies, structures, restructures, and approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses; purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service areas. This Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines § 15273;

regarding this issue, the City Council believes that it is in the public interest to adopt this Ordinance;

J. To ensure the City efficiently and cost-effectively causes refuse services to be delivered to the public , it is in the public interest to immediately implement this Ordinance and implement the approved Fees as of September 1, 2025; and

K. Because of the findings set forth above, the City Council finds that this Ordinance should be adopted on an urgency basis to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare in accordance with Government Code §§ 36934 and 36937(b).

SECTION 2: AMOUNT OF RATES AND CHARGES. Pursuant to MPMC Chapter 14.12, the City Council establishes the amount of Fees as set forth in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by reference.

SECTION 3: COST ESTIMATES. The City Manager, or designee, will periodically, but not less than annually, review the Fees to determine whether revenues from such charges are meeting actual cost of services and facilities needed to deliver solid waste collection services to the residents and non-residential developments within the City. If the City Manager determines that revenues do not adequately meet costs, the City Manager will recommend to the City Council a revised rate and charge schedule to be adopted by this City Council by ordinance:

SECTION 4 : 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 6: 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 7: Invalidity.

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: 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 provision or application and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 9: Recordation. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to sign this Ordinance 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.

Exhibit A

The Franchise Fees for year 1 (beginning September 1, 2025) will be limited to 50% of the total Franchise Fees. This cap will not apply from year 2 (beginning September 1, 2026) forward. The Franchise Fees will annually include a consumer price index (“CPI”) adjustment, on September 1, consistent with all urban consumers, as calculated by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County area, all items. Such increase will be calculated by computing the percentage change in the CPI for the twelve-month period ending December 30th each year; multiplying that percentage with existing rates; and adding that sum to each rate. For example, x [new rate] = (CPI * y [existing rate]) + y. Fractions may be rounded up to the nearest dollar.

ORDINANCE NO.

AN ORDINANCE SETTING THE AMOUNT OF REFUSE RATES AND
CHARGES PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE § 5471 AND
MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.08.

The City Council does ordain as follows:

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

A. The City of Monterey Park requires a reliable solid waste and recycling collection service to protect the public general welfare, health and safety;

B. The purpose of solid waste franchise fees is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by providing reliable and adequate solid waste collection services for the City;

C. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the rates and charges and the cost of services and facilities necessary to deliver refuse service to the residents and non-residential development of the City;

D. Notice regarding the refuse rates included in this O rdinance was provided in accordance with California Constitution Article XIIID, § 6(c) and Government Code § 54354.5;

E. On July 16, 2025, the City Council began conducting a public hearing to consider the results of the protest proceeding and to consider adoption of the proposed refuse rates, and the City Council continued the public hearing to August 6, 2025 to allow additional time for eligible property owners to file fee protests;

F. This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14 Cal.

Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.; “CEQA Guidelines”) because it establishes, modifies, structures, restructures, and approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses; purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service areas. This Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines § 15273;

G. This Ordinance is adopted in accordance with Health and Safety Code § 5471 and Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) Chapter 6.08 to establish the City's current solid waste collection rates;

H. The City Council recognizes that California law including, without limitation, Melton v.

City of San Pablo (1967) 252 Cal.App.2d 794 and In re Cindy B. v. Eugene B. (1987) 192 Cal.App.3d 771, allows legislation to be retroactively applied when the legislative intent for such retroactivity is clear;

Ordinance No.

Page 2 of 4 ends

I. To ensure the City efficiently and cost-effectively causes refuse services to be delivered to the public, it is in the public interest to retroactively implement this Ordinance; and

J. The City Council has considered the evidence and testimony presented at the public hearing. Based in part upon that evidence, and the staff reports presented to the Council regarding this issue, the City Council believes that it is in the public interest to adopt this Ordinance.

SECTION 2: AMOUNT OF RATES AND CHARGES. Pursuant to MPMC Chapter 14.12, the City Council establishes the amount of franchise fees as set forth in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by reference ("Franchise Fees").

SECTION 3: COST ESTIMATES. The City Manager, or designee, will periodically, but not less than annually, review the Franchise Fees to determine whether revenues from such charges are meeting actual cost of services and facilities needed to deliver solid waste collection services to the residents and non- residential developments within the City. If the City Manager determines that revenues do not adequately meet costs, the City Manager will recommend to the City Council a revised rate and charge schedule to be adopted by this City Council by ordinance.

SECTION 6 : 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 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 provision or application and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 8: Recordation. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to sign this Ordinance 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 9: Retroactivity. The City Council specifically intends that all Franchise Fees implemented by this Ordinance be retroactively effective on September 1, 20 25 in the phases identified in this Ordinance.

City Council Staff Report

Date: August 6, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 10.B.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Consideration and Possible Action to Adopt Ordinance Establishing Refuse Rates

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Opening the continued public hearing;

2. Receiving all written and verbal testimony regarding the proposed rate increases;

3. Determining whether there is a majority protest against the proposed rate increases;

4. If no majority protest exists, introducing and waiving the first reading of Ordinance No. _____ - Setting the amount of Refuse Rates and Charges (Attachment 1); and

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

Executive Summary:

On May 30, 2025, Proposition 218 notices for proposed refuse franchise fee rates were mailed to each parcel number in the City of Monterey Park. The notices provided the date of July 16, 2025 as the public hearing date when the proposed refused franchise fee rates would be considered for adoption.

At the July 16, 2025 meeting, City Council approved the continuation of the public hearing to August 6, 2025 in order to provide more time for property owners to return protest ballots for the proposed rate increase. City Council also proposed phasing the rate increase, as described further below.

Background:

In 2024, City staff conducted a solid waste franchise fee study to identify costs for the management and administration of solid waste services. The last study for refuse rates was completed in 2014. Staff worked with R3 Consultants to develop a rate analysis inclusive of refuse rates and charges that can effectively fund the City’s refuse enterprise. Based on the results of the study, it was recommended the City consider a proposed 14.13% residential franchise fee and a 14.40% commercial franchise fee.

Page 576 of 600 ends

Page 69 of 105 ends

On May 7, 2025, City Council received and filed the Franchise Fee Study approved the Proposition 218 Notice for the proposed solid waste collection rates. The notice was mailed out on May 30, 2025. The notices included a ballot for property owners to protest the proposed increases and the date of July 16, 2025 as the public hearing when City Council would consider adopting the new rates.

At the July 16, 2025 public hearing, City Council opened the hearing and received verbal and written comments related to the proposed rate adjustments. After receiving public feedback regarding the Proposition 218 process, the City Council continued the public hearing to its August 6, 2025 meeting to allow more time for property owners to submit fee protests. The City Council also agreed to proceed with alternative, reduced rates that excluded the pavement impact costs originally proposed in the Study and at the May 7th Council meeting.

To further mitigate the impact of the higher rates, City Council proposed that the increase be implemented over phases to lessen the burden to rate payers.

Based on this direction and consultation with the City’s consultant, the City would only impose approximately 70% of the franchise fees, beginning September 1, 2025. In year two, beginning September 1, 2026, the fees would also include the remaining approximate 30%.

This results in the proposed rates shown below, which will be subject to annual consumer price index increases:

Page 577 of 600 ends

Page 70 of 105 ends

Page 578 of 600 ends

Page 71 of 105 ends

Strategic Plan Goal:

The proposed refuse franchise fee rates support the City's goal to maintain fiscal stability of the City's financial resources. Updating refuse rates will allow the City to recover costs for the delivery of solid waste services.

Fiscal Impact:

If the phased rate increases are approved, the proposed franchise fee rates would result in $785,693 ($624,425 for the residential franchise and $161,268 for the commercial franchise) in revenue for the first year and $347,838 ($276,442 for residential and $71,396 for commercial) in revenue for the second year.

An MOU is required by LACMTA for the distribution of funds for the Los Angeles County region. The MOU is provided to agencies that have successfully met all NTD and FTA requirements. The City of Monterey Park is one of the agencies that has provided FTA with NTD data for programs during FY 2022-23 and has met all NTD and FTA requirements.

It is recommended that the City continue to participate in the Prop A Discretionary Incentive Program by executing the proposed LACMTA agreement and requesting funding from FY 2022-23 NTD data. Upon execution of the MOU with LACMTA, the City will invoice LACMTA to receive $97,105 in Prop A revenue funds for FY 2025-26.
