Subject: PROPOSED VOLUNTEERING IS PARAMOUNT (V.I.P.) STUDENT
RECOGNITION PROGRAM
Background
Community volunteering is an important tool for our young residents to use for college admissions, job training and personal growth. We currently recognize the Top 5 Paramount High School student volunteers that have received the highest number of volunteer hours as recognized by the high school. However, some level of City recognition for all student volunteers that achieve a defined threshold of volunteer hours beyond the Top 5 would be valuable in encouraging continued volunteerism that will hopefully extend beyond high school.
Volunteering is Paramount
Staff is proposing a new program that would be called Volunteering is Paramount, or the V.I.P. program, where high school students who have worked to make a difference in the Paramount community by volunteering can be recognized.
All high school students residing in the City of Paramount or attending a high school in the Paramount Unified School District would be eligible to participate. Students could begin accumulating volunteer hours as early as the summer prior to their freshman year.
Below are other proposed program parameters:
1. Volunteer hours must be served with a pre-approved organization: non-profit agency, government agency, or private organization.
2. Volunteers cannot receive compensation for these opportunities or volunteer for a family-operated business/organization.
3. Volunteer hours for Paramount High School events and activities are also excluded thus focusing recognition away from school volunteer hours and more on volunteer hours in the broader community.
4. Volunteers must complete the Pre-Approval Form in order for the hours to qualify for the City Certificate of Recognition.
5. Volunteers must use the City of Paramount’s V.I.P. official tracking form that would be found on the City’s website to record their hours and receive a verification signature from the organization.
Agenda Report January 4, 2022
VOLUNTEERING IS PARAMOUNT (V.I.P.) PROGRAM Page 2
Annually, V.I.P. Certificates of Recognition signed by the Mayor would be mailed to all qualified volunteer high school students that have obtained a minimum of 50 volunteer hours in a given school year (July-June) with a pre-approved organization(s). The students’ names will be highlighted on the City of Paramount’s Instagram and Facebook story pages in the month of June.
Lastly, marketing of the recognition program will be through the City's website, social media platforms, the Around Town, and Pulse Beat.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council approve or modify the proposed Volunteering is Paramount (V.I.P.) student recognition program.

APPROVAL OF THE CITY’S 2022 LEGISLATIVE POSITION PLATFORM
BACKGROUND
In January 2021, the City Council adopted the City of Paramount’s first Legislative Platform, providing a framework for the City when taking a position on legislative and regional issues that affect the City. The Legislative Platform is based on the City’s Vision, Mission, Values, and Strategic Outcomes established by the City Council.
When staff or the City Council receives information on legislative or regional issues that warrant taking a position, staff refers to the Legislative Platform to confirm that the issue aligns with the City’s goals and objectives. Staff then drafts a letter that is reviewed and signed by the Mayor. Copies of the letters are provided to the City Council on a regular basis.
In 2021, staff utilized the Legislative Platform to take positions on 19 legislative and regional initiatives. All of the position letters sent, either in support or in opposition, aligned with the City’s 2021 Legislative Platform. The Legislative Platform was a key reference point that assisted City staff in expediting formal positions on legislation, especially those that were time sensitive. The Legislative Platform should be reviewed annually to update the City’s legislative priorities.
2022 Legislative Platform
For the Legislative Platform annual review, staff consulted with City Departments and the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) to ensure the City’s legislative priorities are relevant with today’s legislative climate, and are aligned with potential ballot initiatives for 2022. To strengthen the City’s legislative efforts, staff reviewed the adopted Cal Cities 2022 Action Agenda and determined that the League’s strategic advocacy priorities align with the City’s legislative priorities, goals, and objectives.
Agenda Report January 4, 2022
RESOLUTION NO. 22:001 Page 2
In the 2021 Legislative Platform, staff included broadband infrastructure and homeless prevention as focus points under the Public Works and Public Safety Areas of Focus.
However, as these emerging issues continue to affect the City, staff recommends incorporating Broadband Infrastructure Development and Homeless Outreach and Prevention as separate Areas of Focus that augment the City’s 2022 Legislative Platform as a key resource to take formal positions on legislation involving these important issues.
Areas of Focus - Broadband Infrastructure Development
As broadband connectivity continues to grow in California, so do the benefits of connecting Paramount residents and local businesses with a reliable broadband network.
For instance, broadband connectivity supports local underserved communities, such as Paramount by closing the digital equity gap. It improves the profitability of large, small, and home-based local businesses to compete and grow in the business markets.
Despite our efforts to make strides to channel economic and social resources to Paramount, the City remains underserved in its broadband infrastructure. Known as the “Digital Divide,” low-income cities tend to lack the technological infrastructure to support its community through sufficient internet and broadband. Supporting legislation that enhances broadband infrastructure development equips Paramount with more affordable and efficient access to basic amenities such as education, health care, public safety, and City services.
Broadband networks provide students and teachers with access to a plethora of educational resources. Given today’s environment with limited digital access made apparent during COVID-19 pandemic, reliable digital access expands classroom walls, giving students the opportunity to participate in distance learning at any time from any location, such as the library, school, and home. Additionally, Broadband networks serve as an important tool to address the needs of people with disabilities, and a working class who needs to work from home.
Areas of Focus – Homeless Outreach and Prevention
The fight to end homelessness in our nation has become an emerging goal, which has taken center stage for many cities throughout California. In Paramount, ongoing efforts by the City, County, and non-profit agencies to help those experiencing homelessness move off the streets and into permanent housing has become a daily mission.
Securing funding and resources to prevent homelessness and assist individuals experiencing homelessness, strengthens City, County, and non-profit partnerships to ensure adequate outreach services are available in Paramount for adults and youths at risk experiencing homelessness. Supporting legislation, initiatives, and funding opportunities to combat homelessness, further memorializes the City’s commitment in ending homelessness.
Agenda Report January 4, 2022
RESOLUTION NO. 22:001 Page 3
Conclusion
The City’s Legislative Platform will continue to serve as a valuable resource to enable Paramount’s voice to be heard before a vote is taken in Sacramento and Washington D.C. on legislation. Furthermore, it provides the most effective way to quickly and efficiently turnaround letters of support or opposition on pieces of legislation, while clearly capturing the collective input and values of all members of the City Council.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization; establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with all Strategic Outcomes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 22:001 approving the City of Paramount 2022 Legislative Platform.

Legislative Platform
for Calendar Year 2022
Rev. January 2022
Exhibit A
Mission Statement
The City of Paramount’s
Legislative Platform establishes
a framework for the City’s
collective principles on matters
of legislation and regional issues
similar in nature.
The Paramount City Council
recognizes the need for an
active legislative program to
protect the City’s interests in the
region, Sacramento, and
Washington, D.C. This
document outlines the City’s
position on legislative matters.
Purpose
On September 1, 2020, the City Council approved implementation of a Legislative Platform that streamlines a process for staff to follow when the City receives a request to take a position on legislative matters. Adopted annually by the City Council, the Legislative Platform is the foundation of a focused advocacy strategy and serves as a reference guide for legislative positions and objectives. The purpose of the Legislative Platform is to give clear direction to staff when determining the City’s position on legislation. The Legislative Platform is developed and maintained by using the goals and objectives of the City Council, and incorporates the City’s Vision, Mission, Values, and Strategic Outcomes. It is based on input from the City Council and staff, as well as local legislative staff and the City’s legislative advocates.
Implementation
The City Council will review and adopt the Legislative
platform at the start of each legislative session and revisit it mid-year. Federal and State legislation that is consistent with the Legislative Platform may be supported by the City.
Federal and State legislation that is inconsistent with the Legislative Platform may be opposed by the City. When
legislation is supported or opposed by the Legislative
Platform, City staff will prepare position letters to be approved by the Mayor. Legislation that is not addressed in the Legislative Platform may require further direction from the City Council. Legislative priorities may only address issues directly related to or impacting the provision of municipal services.
The Legislative Platform… [uses] the goals and
objectives of the City Council, and incorporates the
City’s Vision, Mission, Values, and Strategic Outcomes. 2 Partner Organizations
Generally, the City supports the legislative positions of the City’s partner organizations. However, there may be some instances where the City does not support a certain legislative position by a partner organization.

Subject: ORDINANCE NO. 1158: ESTABLISHING UPDATED WATER
CONSERVATION AND WATER SUPPLY PROGRAM AND
REGULATIONS
BACKGROUND
Communities across California are experiencing more frequent drought conditions in recent years. Over the last six years the Paramount City Council has adopted multiple drought related resolutions and an ordinance to comply with State imposed water conservation mandates.
Every five years the City adopts an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) a required document that supports water suppliers’ long term planning efforts to ensure adequate water supplies to meet existing and future needs. One of the required chapters, known as the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), is devoted to an analysis of water supply and demand, and includes measures we can take to conserve water and if necessary implement reduction measures city wide. The WSCP outlines specific water reduction strategies to be implemented in stages based on the level of conservation either mandated or requested by State officials.
DISCUSSION
In the City’s most recent 2020 UWMP we expanded the WSCP from three stages to a total of six stages as required by the State. Over the years, guidelines for the UWMP change based on research and water trends throughout the region and the expansion of stages is one of those newer requirements. The effects of climate change are being seen nationwide, and water supply reliability is one that needs considerable attention.
Furthermore, the updated levels reflect a percentage reduction that will more effectively align with the Governor’s executive orders that call for water use reduction.
The six stages outline actions to take and policies to implement in order to minimize the impacts of water shortage, prepare for an increase in shortage and attempt to conserve water to prevent further shortages. As a result, our municipal code requires an update to reflect the additional stages. Ordinance No. 1158 incorporates all of these changes by amending the Water Conservation section found in Title 13, Article 5 of our municipal code. Once the ordinance is adopted, City Council approval by resolution is required in Agenda Report January 4, 2022
ORDINANCE NO. 1158 Page 2
order to implement any of the stages. Each stage is described in detail in our WSCP, but are briefly outlined in the table below for your review:
Stage Water Reduction Strategy
Approximate
Percentage
Reduction
1 Limits on watering days for landscaped areas (April – October, 3 days per week; November – March, 2 days per week)
Customers must fix repairs in a timely manner (72 hours) 10% No excessive water flow or run off

40%
Residential car washing prohibited
No filling of residential pools or spas
Planting of new grass is prohibited
Outdoor evaporative mist coolers are prohibited
Main line flushing for emergency purposes only
5 All Stage 1,2,3 and 4 strategies and:
No watering allowed for landscaped areas 50%
Customers must fix repairs in a timely manner (24 hours) 6 All Stage 1,2,3,4 and 5 strategies and: Over 50% Additional prohibited uses as determined by City Council The Governor recently signed Executive Order N-10-21 proclaiming that a state of emergency related to water supply conditions exists in total of 50 counties throughout the state. While Los Angeles is not currently listed as one of these counties in a State of Emergency, the Governor has encouraged statewide voluntary water conservation.
At this time, staff does not recommend implementing any stages of the WSCP, however we do want to encourage residents to begin evaluating their water uses in order to plan for reductions in the future. Staff will utilize our social media and other messaging platforms to begin an educational campaign to encourage water conservation to align with the City’s regional water providers.

A growing population, climate change, environmental concerns and other factors in other parts of the State and western United States, make the region highly susceptible to water supply reliability issues; and
WHEREAS, careful water management that includes active water conservation measures not only in times of drought, but at all times, is essential to ensure reliable minimum supply of water to meet current and future water supply needs; and
WHEREAS, Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution declares that the general welfare requires that water resources be put to beneficial use, waste or unreasonable use or unreasonable method of use of water be prevented, and conservation of water be fully exercised with a view to the reasonable and beneficial use thereof; and
WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 375 et seq. requires water suppliers to adopt and enforce a comprehensive water conservation program to reduce water consumption and conserve supplies; and
WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 350 et seq. authorizes any public entity, including a special district, to declare a water shortage emergency and, upon declaration of that emergency, adopt regulations and restrictions on the delivery and consumption of water in order to conserve water resources during the period of the emergency and until the supply of water available for distribution by the suppliers has been replenished or augmented; and
WHEREAS, the adoption and enforcement of water conservation and supply shortage program is necessary to manage the City’s potable water supply in the short- and long-term and to avoid or minimize the impacts of drought and shortage within the City. Such a program is essential to ensure a reliable and sustainable minimum supply of water for the public health, safety and welfare; and ORDINANCE NO. 1158
