City Council Staff Report

Date: December 17, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.C.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Martha Garcia, Director of Finance
Subject: Approval of Tax Agreement with Camino Real Chevrolet

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Closing Agreement with Camino Real Chevrolet in a form approved by the City Attorney, governing payment in lieu of business license tax; and

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

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

These actions are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because they establish rules and procedures to implement government funding mechanisms; do not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitute an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, neither of the propositions constitute a “project” that requires environmental review (see specifically 14 CCR § 15378(b)(4-5)).

Executive Summary:

A closing agreement between the City of Monterey Park and Camino Real Chevrolet is being proposed, in which Camino Real Chevrolet would provide fleet supply to the City in lieu of paying a Business License Tax for a specified period. The tax agreement is designed to offer a mutually beneficial arrangement where Camino Real Chevrolet continues to receive tax incentives while the City benefits from the use of a new vehicles, which could be deployed for public services, community programs, or city operations.

Background:

On November 5, 2024, voters adopted Measure BE which updated the structure of the City’s business license tax (BLT) to be based on a business’s gross receipts. This resulted in Camino Real Chevrolet’s BLT increasing from $1,520.25 in 2024 to $85,950 in 2025.

Page 282 of 362 ends

Camino Real Chevrolet questioned its BLT obligations pursuant to Monterey Park Municipal Code § 5.12.270. That section, in relevant part, states:

“whenever a decision or determination by the license collector of the application of any … rate herein with regard to an application is disputed by a particular applicant, the license collector or the applicant involved, as the case may be, shall request a decision thereon by the city council, whereupon the city council, after listening to the evidence and points of view involved shall make a determination on the particular application, and the city council's decision shall be final.”

MPMC § 5.12.270 and Section 9 of Ordinance No. 2254 (adopted December 10, 2024 aka Measure BE) authorizes the City Council to determine whether Camino Real Chevrolet’s dispute of its calculated tax liability may be resolved through alternative means. One method of resolving the dispute is for Camino Real Chevrolet and the City to execute a “closing agreement” that is authorized under both federal and California law.[1]

The courts universally recognize that closing agreements “are meant to determine finally and conclusively a taxpayer’s liability….”[2] A closing agreement

“is a written contract between the taxpayer and the [taxing authority]. Its purpose is to resolve a tax dispute and it can have an ongoing effect-to resolve an issue expected to rise in the future. The theory behind closing agreements is once and for all to terminate and dispose of tax controversies.”[3]

Camino Real Vehicle and Advertising Proposal
Camino Real proposes to provide the City with one new vehicle per year—owned by the City— and the use of two additional vehicles. The vehicles may be used by the City for any public purpose. The proposal is structured as follows:
• Calendar Year 2025
o Camino Real has made a BLT payment of $9,245 and has agreed to donate $5,000 towards a book mobile for the Bruggemeyer Library. In addition, a payment plan will be set up to collect $2,500 annually over a 10-year period. • Annual Vehicle Use (Beginning in Calendar Year 2026)
o Camino Real Chevrolet will provide the City with one Chevrolet Trax LT valued at $25,580, which will be City-owned.
o If the City elects to acquire a different vehicle, the City will pay the cost difference between the higher-priced vehicle and the present value of a Chevrolet Trax LT. o Camino Real will also provide the use of two additional vehicles, with a combined estimated annual value of $15,000.
o Two loaner vehicles must be approved by City staff and will be replaced every two years, or sooner.

• Advertising
o Camino Real will provide the City with advertising space on its programmable LED message display.
o Advertising rates in Southern California vary widely—from approximately $5,000

Page 283 of 362 ends

to over $50,000 per month—depending on location, size, and whether the display is static or digital.
o The LED message display is not currently being used but is planned to be refurbished. Once refurbishment is complete, Camino Real will begin providing advertising space to the City.
• City Vehicle Maintenance
o The City would be provided with a 30% discount on fleet service, including labor and parts. On average, the City expends approximately $30,000 annually on related repair costs for third party service.

Executing the closing agreement is in the public interest as it avoids an ongoing dispute with Camino Real Chevrolet regarding its business license tax obligations. In return, the City nevertheless receives value in the form of vehicles that may be used for public purposes including, without limitation, law enforcement and general fleet needs. The value received is substantially similar to the monies that would be otherwise paid by Camino Real Chevrolet under Measure BE.

Fiscal Impact:

Camino Real’s contributions in lieu of taxes are estimated to be $39,245 for the year 2025. In each subsequent year, the estimated annual value increases to $100,580. This arrangement enables the City to receive tangible assets, services, and promotional benefits while also avoiding substantial administrative and legal expenses associated with continued tax disputes.

City Council Staff Report

Date: December 17, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.D.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Christine Tomikawa, Human Resources/Risk Management Director Subject: Resolution approving FY 2025-2026 City of Monterey Park Comprehensive Salary schedule and Part-Time Salary Schedule

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Adopting a Resolution approving the revised FY 2025-2026 City of Monterey Park Comprehensive Salary Schedule;

2. Approving the Revised Part-Time Classification Salary Ranges; and

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

Executive Summary:

California law requires that the City maintain a publicly available comprehensive salary schedule listing all full-time and part-time employee classifications with associated salary ranges in a single document (2 Cal. Code of Regs. § 570.5). Beginning in June 2025, the City Council approved various memoranda of understanding ("MOUs") with the City's bargaining units. The MOUs approved by the City Council provided for salary range increases, necessitating updates to the City's comprehensive salary schedule. The Director is also requesting approval to increase part-time classification salary ranges to keep in line with California's minimum wage increases. The resolution will approve the revised comprehensive salary schedule, to include salary range increases for part-time classifications.

Background:

During 2025, the City negotiated six MOUs and one Executive team Resolution. Through this negotiation process, the City Council approved salary range increase for each of the City's bargaining units: POA Reso. 2025-R59, POMMA Reso. 2025-R65, Police Captains' Reso. 2025-R79, FFA Reso 2025-R80, PCOA Reso. 2025-R73, SEIU Reso. 2025-R67, MMCA Reso. 2025-R66, and Executive Management Reso. 2025-R77. The revised comprehensive salary schedule reflects the up-to-date salary ranges approved for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 by the City Council and compliant with California law and the Municipal Code.

The Director recommends that the City Council approve a salary range increase for part-time

Agenda Item Number: 9.E.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Bruggemeyer Library Project

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services agreement with Black, O’Dowd & Associates, dba BOA Architecture, for the preparation of Plans, Specifications and Engineer’s estimates (“PS&E”) for various library improvements in an amount not to exceed $89,000; and

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

Executive Summary:

The Bruggemeyer Library was constructed over 20 years ago and some of the interior spaces no longer meet the current space demands to accommodate the community needs. The proposed improvements will enable staff to use the various areas more efficiently, and to support various new public programs. Public Works Director (“Director”) requested a proposal from BOA Architecture for the proposed work. The Director requests City Council approval to enter into a professional services agreement with BOA Architecture in an amount not to exceed $89,000, for the preparation of PS&E for library improvements (the “Contract”).

Background:

The proposed improvements listed below (Project) is anticipated to include the following:

• Provide a new, dedicated space for passport services • Redesign the public circulation counter area to better fit the needs of the public and staff • Create entry lobby with a new public service counter

Page 295 of 362 ends

• Remove some walls in the circulation staff area to create an open staff office with workstations
• Install doors next to the stairs to separate the public from staff areas • Redesign the technical services area to create a large multi-purpose room for flexible public programming
• Provide ingress and egress to the outside for the multi-purpose area that is accessible to the public
• Ensure ADA compliance with all proposed modifications • Install new multi-language signage

The Director received a proposal from BOA Architecture for $89,000. The Director is currently working with BOA Architecture for the redesign of the City Council Chambers and is satisfied with the provided services.

It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with BOA Architecture in an amount not to exceed $89,000, for the preparation of PS&E for the Bruggemeyer Library Improvements.

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 continue public facility improvements and provide multiple forms of usage of the Bruggemeyer Library.

Ziad Mazboudi, PE, Project Manager, City of Monterey Park Nov. 19, 2025 Re: Fee for Architectural-Engineering Services for: Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library Remodel Based on our site meeting with you on 10-29-25 we are pleased to submit our Fee Proposal for PSE (plans, specs, estimate) for approval from the City Building Safety Dept. and for customary public bidding to general contractors. We will also provide Construction Support services. We will remodel parts of the 1st floor and parts of the 2nd floor. Our scope for this project is outlined below, and our itemized fee spreadsheet is attached. Also attached is a sketch floor plan showing the location of the area to be remodeled.

Scope for Interior Remodel

1. On the 1 st floor, 1) provide a new door for the passport services, 2) redesign the public circulation counter area to fit the current needs of the staff, 3) remove some walls in the staff area to create an open staff office with workstations, 4) install some doors next to the stairs to separate the public from the staff, 5) redesign the technical services area to create a large multi-purpose room for 40 to 50 people (with storage) for flexible programming, 6) preserve existing storage shelves, 7) maintain access for staff to the exterior loading area.

2. Maintain access for staff via the exterior loading area. The Client wants to create an entrance to the new programming, large multi-purpose space that is accessible to the public from the outside. This would allow the Client to provide programs before/after library hours. The understanding is to maintain a path-of- travel for ADA compliance, so the door would likely need to be on the east wall of the building leading out to the covered parking. Provide a ceiling mounted projector or wall mounted TV screen in the new large multi-purpose space for presentations.

3. On the 2 nd floor, at the Literacy Dept, create a small entry lobby with a new public service counter with easy access for the library staff. Multi-lingual signage is needed for this area. For the Literacy Dept., The Client likes the idea of maintaining separation between the Literacy Dept. and the Children’s Dept. and would like to keep the study room wall that separates the two spaces but convert that study room into the public service desk.

4. Provide design for ADA compliance for the area within the scope, as required by Building-Safety Dept.

5. Because of its high construction cost, work within the existing building envelope, avoid a building addition.

6. Verify site conditions w measurements and do a walk-thru with the library staff to verify desired functionality space allocation goals.

7. In the preliminary design phase, create conceptual 2-3 floor plan options for the Client to select the desired one that will be refined into a final recommendation. Provide 3-dimensional color renderings showing especially the library circulation public counter.

8. Project management and meetings to expedite the project and communicate with Client.

9. Provide submittals at 30%, 60%, 90%, 100%.

10. Provide Construction Cost Estimate.

11. Provide formal specifications.

12. Provide interior design improvements to enhance or be compatible with the existing Library architecture.

13. Provide structural engineering for new interior walls and openings.

14. Provide mechanical engineering for the new HVAC ducting for the new reconfigured layout. There is no new HVAC equipment for this project. We plan to use the existing HVAC equipment.

15. Provide electrical engineering for relocation of existing or new electrical lighting and power.

16. Provide acoustic engineering to mitigate echo and reverberation in the new Multi-purpose Room.

17. Provide Construction Support for bidding assistance and Construction Administration services Items Not Included
a. Land Survey with underground utility lines (available drawings will be provided by the Client) b. Asbestos, Lead paint, Hazardous Materials Report
c. Design of ADA parking stalls and path-of-travel, as the existing ADA parking stalls and path-of-travel are assumed to be ADA compliant.
d. Design of any part of the exterior sitework.
e. Landscape architecture and Civil Engineering
f. Audio-Visual design (however, BOA will coordinate with your IT Dept. to locate data ports and conduits). g. Furniture selection

City Council Staff Report

Date: December 17, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.F.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Fiber Optic Installation

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Adopting a Resolution waiving bidding requirements, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Arcadian Infracom 2, LLC. for the purchase of fiber optic conduits and fiber and related amenities, and authorizing the City Manager or designee to approve change orders not to exceed $35,000 over the total contract amount; and

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

Executive Summary:

Arcadian Infracom 2, LLC (“Arcadian”) is contracted with the State of California to build over 1,000 miles of the California’s Middle Mile Broadband Network. The Middle Mile Broadband Initiative was created in 2021 with the investment of over $3 billion dollars to bridge the digital divide and provide reliable, accessible and affordable internet access to every Californian. This access is used to support tele-health, tele-education, and economic development across the state.

Arcadian’s conduits pass through Monterey Park as part of their larger project from Downtown Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Arcadian’s conduits and fibers are proposed to be installed along Monterey Pass Road and Garvey Avenue. The City has two ongoing projects, Adaptive Traffic and Monterey Pass complete street require installation of fiber optics conduits and fiber at the same locations. Arcadian agreed that it could supply this fiber optic infrastructure for the City.

This would reduce impacts to the public.

The City obtained approval from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”) for using allocated funding for the project to enter into an agreement with Arcadian. The Public Works Director (“Director”) requests City Council approval to enter into an agreement with Arcadian in an amount not to exceed $350,000, plus 10% contingency, for the purchase of conduit, fiber and related amenities (the “Contract”).

Page 303 of 362 ends

Background:

The City is currently designing two major projects using Measure R– SR-710 North Mobility Improvements funds. The projects are the Adaptive/Responsive Traffic Signal Improvement Project along Atlantic Blvd., Garfield Blvd. and Garvey Avenue, and the Monterey Pass Road Complete Street project, from Floral Drive to Garvey Avenue. These two projects include the installation of conduits and fiber for traffic signal communication.

Arcadian is seeking an encroachment permit for its proposed work implementing the Middle Mile Broadband Network (“MMBN”). As part of this project, the California Department of Technology (“CDT”) partnered with Arcadian to construct 306 miles of the state’s open access network through urban and rural areas between Los Angeles and Needles, including Monterey Park. Arcadian was selected as a result of CDT’s 2023 Request for Innovative Ideas (“RFI2”) solicitation for the MMBN solutions. Partnering with Arcadian will reduce financial and construction impacts for the City. Arcadian provided a cost proposal of $350,000 to construct and install all fiber, conduits and ancillaries to meet the City’s needs. This cost was less than half of the Engineer’s estimate for the City’s two proposed projects.

Since the two projects are funded by SR710 funds administered by LACMTA, the Director sought LACMTA approval for funding and LACMTA approved the City’s request.

It is recommended that City Council adopt a Resolution waiving bidding requirements and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Arcadian Infracom 2, LLC in an amount not to exceed $350,000, for the installation of conduits, fibers and ancillaries per Attachment 2, with a contingency not to exceed $35,000. Arcadian’s project is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) as Project No. 20250569982. The City also verified its contractor, HP Communications, Inc. is a registered contractor with DIR.

Additionally, Arcadian – and its contractors – are required to pay prevailing wage in accordance with California law.

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 aims to improve traffic signal communication across the City.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed contract cost will not exceed $385,000. Funds for this project are budgeted as part of Capital Improvement Project No. 96026 and 96047.

RESOLUTION NO. __

A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DESIGN AND PLANS PURSUANT
TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 830.6, WAIVING CITY BID

REQUIREMENTS, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH ARCADIAN INFRACOM 2, LLC TO

CONSTRUCT CONDUIT AND FIBER NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS

ALONG GARVEY AVE AND MONTEREY PASS ROAD

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

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

A. The City’s Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) includes two projects requiring fiber optic infrastructure: the Adaptive/Responsive Traffic Signal Improvement Project along Atlantic Boulevard, Garfield Boulevard, and Garvey Avenue (CIP# 96026) and the Monterey Pass Road Complete Street project, from Floral Drive to Garvey Avenue (CIP # 96047) (collectively, the “Projects”).

B. The Engineer’s estimate for completing the technology portion of these Projects is $1,700,000. It is anticipated that the Projects would commence construction on or about February 2026.

C. On or about July 2025, Arcadian Infracom 2, LLC (“Arcadian”) filed an application for encroachment permits to commence construction of a conduit and fiber infrastructure project in accordance with California’s Middle Mile Broadband Network (“MMBN”). The MMBN is a statewide initiative and a partnership between the state of California and Arcadian.

D. The City Council wishes to obtain the immunities set forth in Government Code § 830.6 with regard to the plans and construction of the Project .

Arcadian’s plans and specifications for the MMBN conform with the City Engineer’s expectations and preliminary designs for implementing the Projects. The City Engineer reviewed the design and plans prepared by Arcadian and agrees they meet the specifications needed for the Projects.

E. Ordinarily, the City would need to comply with the competitive bidding requirements set forth in the California Public Contracts Code to construct the Projects.

F. The purpose of such bidding requirements is to guard against favoritism, improvidence, extravagance, fraud and corruption, to prevent waste of public funds, and to obtain the best economic result for the public.

G. The facts and circumstances of this Project, however, demonstrate that a competitive bid process performed by the City would be unavailing or would not produce an advantage, and the advertisement for competitive bid would

Page 306 of 362 ends

Page 2 of 4 ends

thus be undesirable and impractical for the following reasons:

1. Arcadian has an existing agreement with the California Department of Technology ( “CDT”) for MMBN solutions . That agreement complies with California law as to prevailing wage, bonding, and other crucial requirements that are part of the City’s standard public works contracts.

2. Arcadian’s MMBN work will be in the same place as contemplated for the Projects. By partnering with Arcadian, the City seeks to minimize impact to the public and complete needed conduit and fiber infrastructure at a reduced cost.

3. Arcadian agreed to construct fiber infrastructure for the City in accordance with its CDT agreement at City’s cost. HP
Communications, Inc. will construct conduit and fiber network on Arcadian’s behalf. As a result, the City will own an extension of fiber infrastructure along Monterey Pass road from Floral Drive to Garvey Avenue to Garvey Avenue and New Ave.

4. CDT and Arcadian are required to comply with competitive bidding requirements that are substantially similar to those governing City’s public works project.

5. It is in the public interest for City to allow Arcadian to complete the Project in accordance with the Architect’s approved plans and specifications.

6. To complete the Project, Arcadian must comply with payment of prevailing wages in accordance with the California Labor Code.

H. In waiving the competitive bid requirements otherwise required by the Monterey Park Municipal Code and Public Contracts Code, the City Council takes note of the analysis and decisions set forth in Graydon v.

Pasadena Redevelopment Agency (1980) 104 Cal.App.3d 631; Hodgeman v. City of San Diego (1942) 53 Cal. App.2
nd 610; Orange County Water
Dist. v. Bennett (1958) 156 Cal. App.2 nd 745; and Los Angeles G&E Corp. v. City of Los Angeles (1922) 188 Cal. 307.

SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment . The Projects, including Arcadian’s infrastructure construction and installation, are 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 Projects are not anticipated to have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. There are adequate utilities and public services to serve the Projects.

Page 307 of 362 ends

Page 3 of 4 ends

SECTION 3: Action. The City Council waives the bidding requirements for the Projects, authorizes the City Manager to enter into an agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Arcadian Infracom 2, LLC for the construction fiber optic conduits and fiber and related amenities , and authorizes the authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to approve change orders not to exceed $35,000 over the total contract amount.

SECTION 4: Design Immunity; Authorization.

A. The design and plans for the Projects are determined to be consistent with the City’s standards and are approved.

B. The design approval set forth in this Resolution occurred before actual work on the Projects’ construction commenced.

C. The approval granted by this Resolution conforms to the City’s General Plan.

D. The City Engineer, or designee, is authorized to act on the City’s behalf in approving any alterations or modifications of the design and plans approved by this Resolution.

E. The approval and authorization granted by this Resolution is intended to avail the City of the immunities set forth in Government Code § 830.6.

SECTION 5: Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

SECTION 6: Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations 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 7: Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City’s ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

Page 308 of 362 ends

Page 4 of 4 ends

SECTION 8: Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 9: 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 10:

The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to affix their signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council.

SECTION 11: The City Clerk is directed to certify the adoption of this Resolution.

SECTION 12:

This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption.

City Council Staff Report

Date: December 17, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.I.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Title VI Metro Plan Update

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Approving the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) Program Update;

2. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to submit the Title VI Program Update to the Los Angeles County Metro Office of Civil Rights and Federal Transit Administration (FTA); and

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

Executive Summary:

The Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs or activities that receive federal funding. The Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) requires agencies that receive their grant funds to demonstrate compliance with Title VI by submitting a Title VI Program Update every three years. The City Council last approved the Title VI Program in 2022. The Director of Public Works (“Director”) recommends City Council approve the City’s Title VI program update for continued compliance with FTA requirements as a sub-recipient of Los Angeles County Metro for pass-through funds. Failure to submit a Title VI Program Update could make the City ineligible for federal funding and result in loss of federal financial assistance.

Background:

As a recipient of federal funding, the City is required to comply with Title VI civil rights regulations.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states the following:

"No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

Page 327 of 362 ends

The Title VI Program Update document consists of a plan and supporting documentation that provides evidence of the equitable distribution of services; promotion of full and fair participation in public transportation decision-making without regard to race, color, or national origin, and meaningful access to transit-related programs and activities by persons with limited English proficiency. FTA reviews and approves the Title VI Program Update or may request additional information. Failure to submit a Title VI Program Update or have a Title VI Program Update approved by the FTA could result in the loss of Federal funding.

The Title VI Program Update report must incorporate the following requirements set forth in the FTA Circular 4702.1B:

1. A notice to the public that indicates the City is compliant with Title VI, and informs members of the public of the protections against discrimination afforded to them by Title VI;

2. Complaint procedures and complaint form(s) made available to members of the public to file a Title VI discrimination complaint;

3. A list of all transit-related complaints, investigations, or lawsuits filed within the last program cycle;

4. A Public Participation Plan;

5. A Language Assistance Plan for persons with limited English Proficiency;

6. A racial breakdown of transit-related planning and advisory committees;

7. Assistance to and monitoring of sub-recipients;

8. Equity evaluations relating to the site and location of facilities;

9. Service standards and system-wide service policies;

10. Collection and reporting of demographic data; and

11. Monitoring of transit service

City Council must approve the proposed Title VI Program Update report before submission to Los Angeles County Metro Office of Civil Rights and the FTA. A copy of the meeting minutes will be submitted to the FTA as evidence of its approval.

Strategic Plan Goal:

N/A

Fiscal Impact:

The City previously received FTA grant funds as a subrecipient of Los Angeles County Metro for the replacement of transit buses, and bus stop improvements including funding for the construction of the Transit Center at East Los Angeles Community College. These assets are still in service, and the City must continue to comply with FTA funding requirements, by adopting the Title VI Program update every three years.

5. Membership of Non-Elected Committees and Councils

The City of Monterey Park was incorporated on May 29, 1916 . It is a general law city as defined by the California Government Code. It operates under the Council-Manager form of government.

The City Council is elected at large for four-year, overlapping terms.

Three commissions may make decisions that affect the City's transit service: Planning Commission, Traffic Commission, and Environmental Commission . The Planning Commission is a legislative body consisting of five members who advise the Council on policies and legislation relating to the regulation of growth, development, and environmental conditions affecting the City. The Commission investigates and makes recommendations on zone changes, specific plan revisions, subdivision maps, and decides on zone variances and conditional use permits, subject to appeal to the City Council.

The Traffic Commission reviews traffic issues and recommends any needed changes. Issues range from traffic safety matters to parking restrictions that may be the result of a citizen's request or a staff recommendation. The Commission also makes recommendations to the City Council for installation of stop signs and amendments to the Monterey Park Municipal Code (MPMC) for traffic related items that may ease traffic congestion and help facilitate transportation throughout the City.

The Environmental Commission promotes the preservation of natural resources and the sustainability of the community. The Commission's responsibilities include serving in advisory capacity to the City C ouncil on related issues , assisting in issues that are deemed necessary for the environmental integrity of the city , and advocating and promoting programs to increase awareness of the environment.

While the City Council members are elected officials, Commissioners are appointed. Each of the five City Council members appoints a member to the Planning Commission , a member to the Traffic Commission and a member to the Environmental Commission . There are a total of five members at each commission. The make-up of the Commissions ha s historically been reflective of the City’s diverse community.

The City Council selects members to sit on the Planning Commission based on their knowledge of zone changes, specific plan revisions, subdivision maps, and zone variances and conditional use permits. The Traffic Commissioners should be familiar with issues that range from traffic safety matters to parking restrictions.

6. City Council Resolution Approving Updated Title VI Program

At the December 17, 2025 City Council meeting, the Monterey Park City Council approved this updated Title VI Program.

II. INCLUSIVE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

The City of Monterey Park’s public participation strategy includes a variety of communication mechanisms to ensure that all constituents have an opportunity to participate in service development and changes.

1. Public Outreach Efforts

Public participation will be engaged in all areas related to the Spirit Bus service including , but not limited to, service change, publicity and promotions, temporary changes (e.g., detours, special service), and fare media.

Depending on the type of service change that is contemplated , a variety of means are employed to encourage public participation. The measures taken are targeted to overcome linguistic, institutional, cultural, economic, historical, or other barriers that may prevent minority and low- income populations, persons with disabilities and persons with limited English proficiency from effectively participating in the decision-making process.

Any proposal for service change is advertised in the City newsletter, Cascades, which is distributed to every household and business in the City. Featured Stories in the Cascades are translated into both Spanish and Chinese languages. The Cascades is also available o n the City's website. Further outreach is a press release that may include mainstream newspapers, Chinese newspapers, Spanish newspapers and all elected officials who represent constituents who live within the City of Monterey Park. The potential for a change/enhancement to service/fares is a result of carefully evaluated data by appropriate staff.

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 6 of 13
The proposal will be placed on the agenda for Commissions’ review and discussion. Once public feedback has been collected, the proposal will proceed for City Council consideration. The City Council will make their decision based on public comments, Commission recommendations, and staff evaluation.

Public meetings will be held in facilities that are in compliance with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Most meetings will be scheduled at the City Hall. However, if funding allows for multiple meetings, geographically-diverse locations will be selected for venues. Meetings are scheduled in the early evening s or weekends and may be conducted remotely to accommodate working schedules.

The outreach will target low income individuals who may have limited access to transportation and the news media. Flyers and notices will be posted at City Hall, the Langley Senior Center and the Bruggemeyer Library where free or discounted services are made available. Flyers will also be posted on City buses to target riders. The City's monthly newsletter is mailed free of charge to every household.

Also, if financial condition permits, translators will be provided at the meetings. At a minimum, Chinese and Spanish translations will be provided. Efforts will be made to provide Vietnamese translators.

2. Incorporating Environmental Justice into Outreach and Planning

Environmental justice practices are incorporated into all City planning and outreach efforts .

Specific steps will be followed when conducting a transit service change, planning study or construction project:

• Compilation of population characteristics and identification of locations with populations of concern for environmental justice;
• Conducting public outreach;
• Identifying adverse effects on populations of concern; and, • Evaluating the project’s overall effects.

3. Outreach Efforts

In 2022, t he City held three community engagement sessions and distributed a community and student survey. The City promoted public participation for its evaluation of its fixed -route transit program. Outreach was conducted through social media, City website, and additional distribution through local schools. Additionally, flyers were posted at various City facilities and buses. The public was also encouraged to participate and voice their comments regarding transit services and areas of improvement at public meetings.

Based on community feedback received through survey research and community engagement and analysis of existing Spirit Bus services, key service design issues were identified. Such issues

Page 336 of 362 ends

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 7 of 13
include the need to simplify or redesign routes that are presently one-way loops which can result in “out of direction travel.” Also important is addressing connectivity to key trip attractors/generators that did not exist when the Spirit bus routes were first designed in the 1990’s.

On June 18, 2024, staff provided City Council results of the Spirit Bus evaluation completed by Arcadis-IBI, including recommended service improvement strategies. The service improvement strategies included changes to the fixed -route service and implementation of on -demand zones for micro transit services through a pilot program . A follow -up online community survey was released to gain feedback on the proposed program changes. The survey was introduced at the City’s Business Expo event held on August 8 , 2024 , and distributed to local school districts, shared through social media, Cascades, City website, posted at City facilities and Spirit buses.

On November 6, 2024, City Council approved the following route changes and a one -year pilot micro transit program:

• Route 1: Linear bi-direction route along Atlantic Blvd.

• Route 2: Linear bi-direction route along Garfield Ave.

• Route 3: Eliminate service south of Graves to Garvey Ranch and extend route west to Atlantic Blvd.

• Route 4: Eliminate route

• Route 5: Expand service to connect to the Metro E Line Station at Atlantic and Pomona and eliminate service east of Atlantic and Riggin.

Outreach efforts for the micro transit pilot program were shared through social media, City website, and flyers were posted at City facilities. Monthly articles are published in Cascades promoting the service and how to use it.

III. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN

1. Improving Access for People with Limited English Proficiency (LEP)

Recognizing the remarkable diversity of its constituents, the City Council adopted the Multi - lingual City Services policy to better serve the community. The Administrative Policy was the product of a multi -lingual task force that was formed as a sub -committee of the Community Relations Committee. The policy is available in Appendix D.

The City’s Language Assistance Plan incorporates all reasonable steps to ensure access to transportation services for LEP individuals.

Page 337 of 362 ends

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 8 of 13
The plan has the following key elements:
• Identification of LEP individuals who need language assistance in the City using the four-factor analysis;
• Determination of the appropriate language assistance measures; • Training employees on LEP policies and procedures;
• Notification to LEP persons of the language services offered by the City; and • Procedures to monitor and update the Language Assistance Plan.

2. Four Factor Analysis

The Four Factor Analysis considers:

1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be served by the Spirit Bus System;

2. The frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the Spirit Bus service;

3. The nature and importance of the Spirit Bus service in people’s lives; and,

4. The resources available to the City for LEP outreach.

1) Number/Proportion of LEP Persons

CENSUS DATA - The determination of the number of LEP persons is based on the U.S. Census Bureau “S1601: Census Bureau Table” 2023 Estimated data. The table below identifies "language spoken at home by ability to speak English for the population 5 years and over" in the City of Monterey Park.

S1601 2023
Speak only English 12,716 21.8%
Other Language Spoken at Home 45,695 78.2%
Speak English "very well" 23,404 51.2%
Speak English less than "very well" 22,291 48.8%
Total 58,411 100.00% 45,695 100.00%

A breakdown on the language spoken at home is provided in the following table:

Language Spoken

Speak English

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 9 of 13
Indo-European languages 1,070

877
193
Other languages: 37

31 6
TOTAL 58,411 21,331 24,364

Based on the data, the majority of LEP persons are identified as either speaking Spanish or an Asian/Pacific Island language. While approximately 7 8% speak a language other than English a home, about 41% speak it less than very well. The City currently has staff that can provide verbal and written translation assistance in multiple languages including Chinese, Vietnamese, and Spanish. The City also provides additional translation assistance through the use the Voiance Language Services, a telephone translation service. The City will continue to monitor the number of constituents who require assistance with translation , but at this time the City ’s policy is to require written translation of all vital documents in Spanish and Chinese only.

Currently, the reading level of LEP individuals is unknown. The City takes pride in its Literacy for All of Monterey Park (LAMP) that has been a leader in adult and family literacy programs since 1984. The learner-centered literacy services are provided at no cost. Trained volunteers in one - to-one, small group, and classroom settings provide tutoring and instruction. LAMP provides assistance through volunteer English-as-a-Second Language ( ESL) instructors who have some teaching experience and conduct basic English instruction in all levels of ESL.

2) Frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the Spirit Bus

The local bus service is contracted out to a private company that operates and maintains the City vehicles. The private firm is also responsible for setting up a customer information phone line for the public to call for information.

The existing contract will terminate on June 30, 20 26. The City works with the contractor to address issues regarding communication with LEP persons.

City staff currently does not track interaction with LEP persons either at the public counter or on the phone due to the rarity of these incidents (e.g., < 10 times per year).

3) The Nature and Importance of the Spirit Bus

The Spirit Bus is a critical public service to the community. Nearly 40 percent of the City's population is 55-year-old and older, and 23 percent are over 65 years old. The seniors depend on the Spirit Bus for transportation for their basic needs: access to food, doctor's appointments and recreation. Through complaints that City receives on a regular basis, staff becomes aware of bus riders’ concerns and needs. Most recently, the City released a community survey to further understand the public’s mobility needs.

Page 339 of 362 ends

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 10 of 13

City staff’s interaction with LEP individuals is currently not quantitatively tracked. Per the City's Administrative Policy, the City Manager meets with Department Directors on a regular basis to discuss the multi-lingual program and exchange solutions and share resources. City Manager and Director Meetings are held weekly.

4) The Resources Available to LEP Outreach

The City's contract with a publisher to produce its monthly newsletter - Cascades - requires the publication to translate “Featured Stories” into both Spanish and Chinese. The publisher can also provide translation services for other material as needed.

In addition to the Title VI documentation such as the complaint form, procedures and Civil Rights notice, documents that are translated include public suggestion/complaint forms and Dial-A-Ride registration and policy/guidelines. The Spirit Bus schedule and related articles that are published in the Cascades are translated into Spanish and Chinese.

One of the criteria in the hiring of employees who are responsible for interacting directly with the public is proficient Spanish and Chinese language skills. A portion of City staff speak s and understands Spanish or Chinese language, or both. Multi-lingual employees receive incentive pay to translate not only for their own department but also for other departments as necessary.

3. Language Assistance Measures

The Spirit Bus contractor will be required to submit their language assistance program that will be reviewed and approved by the Director of Public Works. The program will address how drivers and customer service representatives respond to passengers who are not proficient in English. The contractor has been informed of the Title VI requirements and has posted the notice on all service vehicles.

4. Training Staff

The Spirit Bus contract will require that drivers and customer service representative receive ongoing trainin g in language assistance. The c ontractor will be required to train all the new employees on the language assistance program.

City staff will receive updated training on the multi -lingual policy that includes providing language identification cards at public counters. New employees will be briefed on the language assistance program as part of their new hire orientation. Staff members who routinely interact with the public will be provided with updated lists of multi -lingual City employees, volunteer translators and interpreters.

5. Providing Notice to LEP Persons

Page 340 of 362 ends

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 11 of 13

LEP persons are notified of the language services available by notices posted on -board transit vehicles, City Hall, the City website, and at the information kiosk at the Transit Center at East Los Angeles College. Notices will also be available in both Spanish and Chinese.

Vital documents are translated into LEP identified languages. The City's Multilingual Service Plan is attached in Appendix D.

6. Monitoring and Updating the LEP Plan

The City's multi -lingual policy was adopted on December 18, 2003 and requires annual review and updates to ensure that measures are relevant and effective.

Every three years, the City will review census updates and other data to determine any changes in the proportion of LEP groups. Special attention will be paid to the Vietnamese community.

The City will review the c ontractor’s monthly complaint logs and identify any trends in language assistance needs. The City will also review the c ontractor's driver logs of the frequency of encounters with LEP individuals.

Assessment of these reviews will be used to update the LEP Plan.

IV. SERVICE POLICIES AND STANDARDS

The City has the following policies and standards as guidelines to assure the equitable distribution of services and the accessibility of the fixed-route services:

1. Vehicle Assignments/Age of Vehicles

The Spirit Bus fleet includes 9 vehicles: (3) 2018 Arboc Spirit of Mobility, (1) 2015 Arboc low floor cutaway, (3) 2013 El Dorado BRT mid-sized buses, , (1) 2011 El Dorado AeroElite cutaway, and (1) contractor-owned cutaway spare . The City-owned cutaway vehicles are typically assigned to lower ridership routes and the mid -size buses are rotated to the four community routes. No preference is given to any particular route for the assignment of a newer bus.

The City maintains a transit replacement schedule for the Spirit fleet. Five buses are scheduled for replacement in 2026 and 2029.

2. Vehicle Load

Vehicle load is expressed as the ratio of passengers to the total number of seats on a vehicle. The average daily ridership of the Spirit Bus between FY 2023 and FY 202 5 increased by 30%. Larger mid-sized buses are operated on these routes and can seat 23 passenger s. When school lets out,

Page 341 of 362 ends

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 12 of 13
the load on the buses can exceed 1.0 but at all other times there are no standees on the buses.

The buses seat 23 passengers with standing room for up to 40 adults. Vehicle load is 1.5.

The City currently uses Passio Go app software to collect boarding and alighting data.

3. Vehicle Headways (Frequencies)

Vehicle headway is the amount of time between two buses traveling in a bi-linear direction on a given route. Each of the three community routes - Routes 1, 2, and 3 – typically operates every 40 minutes. The business/employee route - Route 5 - and the Metrolink shuttle operate every 30 minutes. Service times can vary during times of modified or limited service.

4. On-Time Performance

On-time performance is a measure of runs completed as scheduled. The Spirit Bus contract holds the contractor accountable to operating 95% of all trips on -time on any monthly reporting period. On-time is defined as service trip departing less than 10 minutes in advance of scheduled time point and 15 minutes following the scheduled time point.

The contractor is liable for liquated damages for not meeting the standard. All routes must abide by the same performance standards.

5. Transit Access

The Spirit Bus system was designed to provide access to all public facilities including schools, parks and the Civic Center as well as the major commercial corridors. Bus stops locations are at attraction centers such as schools, shopping and business centers, and parks.

Generally, Spirit bu s service is accessible within half mile of any location within the City boundary. However, the steep terrain at certain locations can make access a challenge especially for the elderly.

Minority groups are well distributed within the City.

6. Distribution of Transit Amenities

Transit amenities include shelters, benches and trash containers. The site selection for bus shelters and seating are based on ridership and physical limitations of the bus stop . Nearly all shelters are located along commercial corridors. The maintenance of all shelters and bus stop signs is maintained by City staff. Inspections of these amenities are done on a periodic basis.

Replacement and addition of transit amenities are considered based on available budget resources.

7. Monitoring Service Standards

Page 342 of 362 ends

Title VI Program Update 2025 Page 13 of 13

Monitoring of the service standards is integral to operational planning. Vehicle replacement is included in capital planning that i s reviewed annually when preparing and adopting the fiscal budget. The vehicle load is reviewed when evaluating monthly ridership. Headways relate to the ability to maintain the schedule while on -time performance is monitored daily . Service accessibility and transit amenities are part of the on-going annual planning activities.

V. OTHER PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Equity Analysis for Facility

The City has completed the construction of a Transit Center at East Los Angeles College (ELAC).

The facility was previously an ELAC property that was exchanged with the City for 8 -feet of right- of-way on Collegian Avenue where the Transit Center is located. The removal of the right-of-way lane eliminated on-street parking on the west side of Collegian Avenue. The college utilized the 8 feet right of way to expand their Performing and Fine Arts Complex.

The college property that was exchanged to the City for the Transit Center was previously an open parking lot for college instructors and staff. A 5-story parking structure has since been constructed adjacent to the Transit Center to provide additional parking that was needed for the college's expansion.

The construction of the transit center did not require acquisition of land and did not displace people from homes or places of business and therefore an equity analysis was not conduct

Demographic Service Profile

The City operates five vehicles in peak fixed-route service; therefore, a demographic profile was not prepared for this plan.

City Council Staff Report

Date: December 17, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.J.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jason Hing, Fire Chief
Michelle Marquez, Principal Management Analyst
Subject: Amendment to Agreement No. 2488-AD with SVT Fleet Solutions, LLC

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to Agreement No. 2454-AD with SVT Fleet Solutions, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for maintenance and repair of fire engines, quint and other emergency vehicles for an amount not to exceed $176,000 through June 30, 2027;

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

Executive Summary:

Currently, the Fire Department has a maintenance contract with SVT Fleet Solutions, LLC for the maintenance and repairs of the Department’s emergency vehicles in an amount not to exceed $58,000 for FY 2025–26. While no immediate repair needs exist, ensuring that our emergency vehicles remain service-ready is critical for uninterrupted emergency response operations. Given current industry conditions, including rising costs, supply-chain disruptions, and frequent backorders of parts, it is prudent to amend the contract. This will allow the Department to respond promptly should unforeseen maintenance or repair needs arise, without delay.

As a precautionary measure, the Fire Chief (“Chief”) is requesting approval of a contract amendment that would provide the necessary flexibility to address unforeseen maintenance or repair needs without delay and extend the contract term through June 30, 2027, ensuring continuity of services across fiscal years.

Background:

The Fire Department (“Department”) has historically contracted with SVT Fleet Solutions (formerly known as SoCal Fleet), a trusted vendor with extensive experience servicing emergency response vehicles. Due to natural wear and tear on the fleet, several Department vehicles required extensive repairs within the last year. An increase to the contract was

Page 351 of 362 ends

approved last fiscal year; however, it was not fully expended because repairs for one engine were not completed until the current fiscal year.

As a regional Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team, MPFD provides specialized capabilities for complex emergencies and disasters. Within the last year, the Department assisted two regional strike teams, which added additional wear and tear to the fleet. In mid- December 2024, the Department deployed an engine and fire suppression staff to assist with the Franklin Fire in Malibu. In January, the Department deployed another engine and fire suppression staff to assist with the Palisades Fire. Routine maintenance is critical to ensure emergency vehicles remain reliable both within the City of Monterey Park and when deployed on regional strike teams. The Department also receives mutual aid reimbursement for these deployments, which includes personnel costs, equipment usage, and an administrative surcharge. This reimbursement offsets a portion of operational costs associated with regional responses.

The Fire Chief is recommending an amendment to Agreement No. 2488-AD to add $118,000 and extend the contract through June 30, 2027, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount to $176,000.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The proposed amendment meets the City’s goal to maintain public safety with a flexible and enhanced service model. By ensuring the Department’s emergency fleet is properly maintained and mission-ready, the City can continue to provide reliable and effective emergency response service.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost to amend the current agreement with SVT Fleet Solutions, LLC is $118,000 through June 30, 2027. The Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget has sufficient funds to support the proposed amendment. Funding for the maintenance and repair of fire emergency vehicles is included in the budget process.

City Council Staff Report

Date: December 17, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 11.A.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Atlantic Boulevard Bike Lanes

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Providing direction on the installation of bike lanes on S. Atlantic Boulevard between Newmark Avenue and Harding Avenue; and

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

Executive Summary:

There is an opportunity for the City to consider extending bicycle infrastructure along South Atlantic Boulevard between Newmark and Harding Avenues. This corridor is identified in the San Gabriel Valley Bike Master Plan as a key north–south connection, ultimately linking to Avenida Cesar Chavez, Riggins Street, 1st Street, Mednik Avenue, and the regional Los Angeles County bike network. Current projects on Garvey Avenue and Monterey Pass Road/Mabel Avenue also converge onto South Atlantic, making this segment essential for completing both local and regional connectivity. Installing a protected bike lane would advance the City’s active transportation goals, improve rider safety, and fulfill regional planning commitments.

The decision carries trade offs. A protected bike lane requires removal of approximately 56 on street parking spaces; however, most businesses along the affected corridor maintain on site parking lots, which may mitigate the impact. Atlantic is scheduled for resurfacing following completion of the water project, creating a unique opportunity to stripe the roadway now— either with a bike lane or without one. If the City defers the decision, future installation would require grinding out existing striping, damaging asphalt, blocking travel lanes, and incurring significant restriping costs. Council direction is therefore needed to determine whether to proceed with the protected bike lane or preserve existing parking supply.

Background:

In 2014, the City of Monterey Park partnered with BikeSGV, and the Cities of Baldwin Park, San Gabriel, El Monte and South El Monte to develop the San Gabriel Valley Bicycle Master

Plan (“Bike Plan”). The plan guides the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive bicycle network for the next 20 years with bicycling promotion, education and supportive policies. The City uses the Bike Plan as a guide when considering bicycle infrastructure as part of capital improvements throughout the City.

Currently, the proposed Garvey Avenue Improvement Project will introduce bike lanes connecting Newmark Ave. to Atlantic Blvd., while the Monterey Pass Project will extend bike lanes from Monterey Pass Road/ Mabel Ave. to Newmark Ave. These projects converge onto South Atlantic Blvd., making it a critical corridor for bicycle connectivity. The Bike Plan identifies South Atlantic Blvd. as a key north–south route, extending all the way to Avenida Cesar Chavez, where it connects with lanes from Riggins St., then to 1st Street, and ultimately to the Los Angeles bike lane on Mednik Ave. and the regional LA County network. Connecting bike lanes to South Atlantic Blvd. is therefore a critical part of the City’s north–south bicycle infrastructure.

Atlantic Blvd. is scheduled for resurfacing following completion of the Atlantic/Garfield Water Improvement project, creating a unique opportunity to stripe the roadway now—either with a bike lane or without one. Installing a protected bike lane would advance the City’s active transportation goals, improve rider safety, and fulfill regional planning commitments. Additional considerations for this improvement include:

• Protected lanes improve rider safety and complete critical links in the citywide bicycle network.
• Extending bike lanes onto South Atlantic Blvd. fulfills the San Gabriel Valley Bike Master Plan and connects to the regional LA County network.
• South Atlantic Blvd. is a critical part of the north–south connection of the City’s bicycle infrastructure.
• Striping now avoids future disruption, asphalt damage, lane closures, and added restriping costsInstallation of bike infrastructure reinforces the City’s prioritization of active transportation in the City

However, there are a few issues to consider regarding installation of a protected bike lane along this corridor:

Concerns:

South Atlantic Blvd. currently has a posted speed limit above 30 mph. While some cities use “sharrows” (shared lane markings consisting of a bicycle symbol with chevrons to indicate that bicycles and vehicles share the same travel lane), California law now prohibits their use on roads with speed limits greater than 30 mph. Specifically, Senate Bill 1216 (2024) bars agencies from installing sharrows on such corridors due to safety concerns. As a result, the only compliant option for South Atlantic is a protected bike lane consisting of a five foot lane with a three foot buffer.

In addition, installing this bike infrastructure would eliminate 56 on street parking spaces between Newmark and Harding. However, most businesses along the corridor maintain on site parking lots, which may reduce the overall impact of removing street parking.

The Public Works Director seeks Council direction on the potential installation of bike infrastructure along Atlantic at this time. The direction will determine if the road should be striped with a protected bike lane or left without a bicycle facility at this time.

If the City defers the decision, future installation of bike lanes would require grinding out existing striping, damaging asphalt, blocking travel lanes during construction, and incurring significant restriping costs. Striping now as part of the paving project avoids these costs and disruptions.

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. The proposed bike lanes are part of the regional Bike Plan and the City’s commitment to promote active transportation

including bike lanes.

Fiscal Impact:

If Council recommends the installation of bike lanes along Atlantic, the striping will be completed as part of planned striping following resurfacing under the current Atlantic/Garfield water project. The project is funded in FY 25-26 CIP # 96057.
