Commenter Request/Issue/Concern Action/Comment
Alejandro Yanez
(via email)
Questioned the City’s
transparency, claiming that
the public is being left out of
public comment during City
Council meetings and that it
is difficult for residents to
share their concerns.

The Public Comment period
during meetings of the City
Council has always been made
available to any member of the
public wishing to address the City
Council or City staff, in accordance
with State law. Even when local
COVID-19 regulations limiting
public gatherings were in place,
the City never wavered in its
standards for transparency, as it
was one of the first agencies in the
region to offer live remote public
comment via telephone and email,
broadcast live on YouTube.

As always, any member of the
public may contact the City
Council or City staff in a number of
ways, including telephone, email,
social media, mail, or in-person:

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Heidi Luce, City Clerk
Date: February 15, 2022
Subject: RESOLUTION NO. 22:012 – CONTINUING THE DECLARED STATE OF

EMERGENCY AND REAUTHORIZING THE USE OF REMOTE

TELECONFERENCING PROVISIONS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTION 54953 THROUGH MARCH 17, 2022

BACKGROUND
On March 17, 2020 the Governor issued Executive Order N-29-20 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to this Executive Order, certain requirements under the Brown Act were suspended allowing legislative bodies of public agencies across the State to conduct meetings remotely. Specifically, the Executive Order suspended the requirement that each teleconference location be provided on the agenda for those members of the legislative body participating in the meeting; that each teleconference location be accessible to the public; that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference location; that local agencies post agendas at all teleconference locations; and that at least a quorum of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which they exercise jurisdiction.

Executive Order N-29-20 expired on September 30, 2021. On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed into law AB 361 which became effective on October 1, 2021. Similar to the Executive Order, AB 361 provides for the same modified requirements listed above under certain circumstances at an individual city’s discretion upon adoption of a resolution. AB 361 has since been chaptered into law as Government Code Section 54953(e). The provisions of AB 361 regarding remote meetings apply in the event there is: (1) a Governor issued state of emergency that is active under the California Emergency Services Act; and (2) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.

Over the summer, fall and winter months, as COVID-19 cases declined and the County of Los Angeles Health Department loosened restrictions on gatherings, the City resumed in person meetings with proper health and safety protocols in place.

However, as a result of a spike in COVID-19 cases at the end of 2021 and in early 2022; and recognizing that the Governor’s state of emergency enacted on March 4, 2020 remains in effect, and state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, the City Council, at its meeting on January 4, 2022 adopted Agenda Report February 15, 2022
RESOLUTION NO. 22:012 Page 2
H:\CityManager\AGENDA\REPORTS\REPORTS 2022\Continuing Emergency Declaration_Remote Meetings.docx; 2/9/2022 9:35 AM Resolution No. 22:002 authorizing the use of remote meetings to protect the health and safety of the City Council, residents and staff. Resolution No. 22:002 authorized the use of remote meetings for a period of 30 days from the first use of remote meetings. The City Council held its first remote meeting on January 18, 2022

DISCUSSION
Under AB 361, the City Council may authorize the use of remote meetings for a period of 30 days from the first use of remote meetings; and thereafter the City Council must take action to reauthorize the use of remote meetings every 30 days, confirming that the Governor’s state of emergency enacted on March 4, 2020 remains in effect, and that state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing Given the current uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, continued concern regarding the numbers of COVID-19 cases as a result of the Delta and Omicron variants and that both qualifying criteria are still in place, staff recommends adopting a resolution continuing the declared state of emergency and reauthorizing the use of remote teleconferencing provisions if necessary. If adopted, the resolution would provide the City Manager the authority to continue conducting the meetings remotely if necessary and would be in effect for 30 days. At the conclusion of the 30 day period, the resolution would sunset unless extended by further action 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 Strategic Outcome No. 1: Safe Community to provide a safe place to live, work and visit and Strategic Outcome No. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible to deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 22:012 continuing the declared state of emergency and reauthorizing the use of remote teleconferencing provisions pursuant to Government Code Section 54953 through March 17, 2022.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’

RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT TO
TERMINATE THE POLICE MEMBER RETIREMENT GROUP PLAN.”
Attached is the agenda report from the February 1, 2022 meeting.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only, waive further reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1161.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Andrew Vialpando, Assistant City Manager
Date: February 1, 2022
Subject: ORDINANCE NO. 1161

AMENDING THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE BOARD OF
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’

RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT TO

TERMINATE THE POLICE MEMBER RETIREMENT GROUP PLAN
At its meeting on January 18, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22:003 declaring its intention to approve an amendment to the contract between the City and the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS) to terminate the police member retirement group plan. Amending the contract involves a two-step process over three public meetings, initiated by the City Council adopting a Resolution of Intention to amend the contract, which was completed on January 18. The next step is to adopt an Ordinance authorizing the amendment to the contract between the City and the CalPERS to terminate the police member retirement group plan. The corresponding Ordinance is attached.

BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount is a member of the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS). CalPERS provides the City with retirement and healthcare programs for fulltime employees. Through its retirement arm, CalPERS guides the City in setting its retirement formula for full-time employees under contract. CalPERS member retirement formulas establish future retirement savings payouts based on annual income and years of service. For “Classic” miscellaneous members, the City’s current formula is 2.5% at 55 years. For miscellaneous members who joined CalPERS after 2013, the Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) limited the retirement formula to 2% at 62 years.

In addition to miscellaneous retirement formula plans, agencies may also establish “public safety” member retirement formula plans. Public safety retirement plans are typically reserved for sworn employees in high-hazard public safety roles, such as law enforcement and fire personnel. CalPERS public safety retirement plans are common in cities that employ sworn police officers or firefighters to appropriately compensate for their high-hazard responsibilities. Paramount is a “Contract City” that does not employ any sworn personnel.

Agenda Report February 1, 2022
ORDINANCE NO. 1161 Page 2

DISCUSSION
The City’s contract with CalPERS currently includes a police member group retirement plan activated in 1993. At that time, the City offered this plan to one non-sworn employee who was a former police officer before being employed by the City of Paramount. The City no longer uses the police member group retirement plan and does not have any active members in the plan. The public safety retirement fund no longer has any purpose and creates the potential for additional future pension liability costs. As of June 30, 2020, the Annual Valuation Report reflects the safety plan as super-funded by $192,446, with a total asset of $284,650, exceeding the total liability of $92,204. State law prohibits offering this plan to miscellaneous employees since the passage of PEPRA in 2013.

Staff consulted with CalPERS to reduce the City’s pension liabilities since the police retirement group plan is idle with no active members in the group. As a result, staff is recommending that the police member group retirement plan be removed from the City’s contract with the CalPERS and any accumulated excess contributions be transferred to the City’s miscellaneous retirement pool. The recommended action will reduce the City’s UAL and make year-end budgetary closing procedures more efficient.

In order to remove this retirement plan, the City must terminate the inactive police retirement group plan through an amendment to the City’s contract with CalPERS, which involves adoption of a Resolution of Intent and Ordinance.

The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible – Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent, and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only, waive further reading, introduce Ordinance No. 1161, and place it on the February 15, 2022 agenda for adoption.

Subject: ORAL REPORT – CITY ATTORNEY PRESENTATION OF CITY OF PARAMOUNT’S STREET RACING ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
In August 2020, the City Council pioneered the establishment of the City of Paramount Street Racing Enforcement Program. This program consisted of the adoption of two ordinances aimed at addressing the growing problem of (1) street racing and intersection takeovers occurring within the City’s streets and intersections, and (2) spectators at these illegal events. Ordinance No. 1134 established a comprehensive legal process whereby the City can declare street racing, as defined under California Vehicle Code Section 23109(a) and (c) (vehicles engaged in motor vehicle speed contests or exhibitions of speed) to be a public nuisance and to authorize forfeiture proceedings. Ordinance No. 1135 created penalties for spectators at illegal motor vehicle speed contests and exhibitions of speed. Following an educational campaign designed to inform the public of the penalties associated with both street racing activities and spectators at these illegal activities, enforcement of both ordinances began in the fall of 2020 This oral report will provide a detailed overview of the City of Paramount’s Street Racing Enforcement Program.

Subject: RESOLUTION NO. 22:013 – ACQUISITION OF 16247 VERMONT AVENUE

This item is a resolution approving the acquisition of property located at 16247 Vermont Avenue in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone. This acquisition follows direction given to staff, at a closed session on June 8, 2021 by the City Council. The 11,250 square foot site has been vacant since 2009 when two legal nonconforming residential units and a garage were demolished in preparation for construction. The approval for the intended project expired in 2013. The site will be acquired with American Rescue Plan Act funds for $618,805.00. The City will develop the property for public water infrastructure, which could include a municipal well, a water treatment facility, and/or an above-ground reservoir. We are commissioning a water infrastructure study that will guide us in the best use of this property.

The acquisition of the site will meet a number of goals specified in the General Plan, including the provision of water services to meet the needs of the community, implementation of the Water Master Plan, and the maintenance of water quality.

AGREEMENT WITH BUCKNAM & ASSOCIATES FOR CONTINUED
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT FOR WATER WELL 16
(CITY PROJECT NO. 9116)

BACKGROUND
In May of 2020, the City Council approved agreements with AKM Consulting Engineers (AKM) and Bucknam & Associates to provide construction management/inspection services and program management, respectively for the Water Well 16 Project (Project No. 9116). In November 2020, Amendment No. 1 to Bucknam & Associates’ contract was approved, adding $38,000 to the original contract amount of $60,500 given unanticipated technical reviews that were necessary for the start of the project. As previously indicated, Bucknam & Associates is providing technical program management support to the City, similar to that of a City Engineer for construction projects. Their experience and expertise has been incredibly valuable to the project and has helped to keep the project moving forward.

AKM provides on-site construction management/inspection services for our Water Well 16 Project. Inspection during construction is critical for a water well project. There are many moving parts that require meticulous coordination and in some cases specialized water engineering services were necessary throughout the project.

DISCUSSION
In September 2021, the City Council approved contract amendments for both AKM and Bucknam & Associates given delays that had been identified from our construction contractor, mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which extended the project completion date to December 2021. Unfortunately, we have encountered continued unexpected delays with the project. These delays are due to, once again, the COVID-19 pandemic and the supply chain both of which impacted the timing in the manufacturing of materials.

Additionally, the need arose to upgrade the treatment system due to a fluctuation in arsenic levels. Given the critical nature of this project, it is imperative that we continue Amendments to Professional Services Agreements February 15, 2022 Water Well 16 – Project No. 9116 Page 2
the construction management and program management support through project completion.

Amendment No. 2 to AKM’s contract in the amount of $172,801 and Amendment No. 3 to Bucknam & Associates contract in the amount of $30,000 are necessary given the additional support anticipated through June 2022.

Given the nature of these delays, we are proposing to include funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 in the mid-year budget process as it meets the funding criteria for ARPA.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Kim Sao, Finance Director
Clyde Alexander, Assistant Finance Director
Date: February 15, 2022
Subject: RESOLUTION NO. 22:009
APPROVING FY 2022 MIDYEAR BUDGET
We are pleased to present to you our FY 2022 Midyear Budget. Every year we evaluate the budget at the midyear mark to see how we are doing relative to our Approved Budget projections. A more detailed oral presentation of midyear changes will be presented at the City Council meeting.

Citywide Financial Information
We are now going into the third year of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Like the rest of the nation, the City has experienced business disruption through mandated and voluntary closings of businesses, along with some shelter in place orders during fiscal years 2020 and 2021. As a result of the considerable uncertainty about its long-term economic impact on our society, the FY 2022 Budget was approved at a very conservative level. While the pandemic is no longer expected to end anytime soon, California lifted most of its restrictions on businesses allowing people to dine indoor and travel as long as they follow safety and health regulations. As such, we are pleased to report that the economy is rebounding in FY 2022.

As of midyear, the General Fund projected revenue is $36.9 million, which is an increase of $3.8 million, or 11.4%, from the $33.2 million approved in June 2021. Much of the revenue increase is used to cover the increases in one-time operating expenditures and capital projects that would have required us to use our capital reserve funds. Accordingly, the estimated total General Fund expenditure increases from the Approved budget of $33.2 million to the midyear budget of $36.8 million, leaving a projected surplus of $110,000 at June 30, 2022.

Across all funds, which includes the General Fund, Restricted Funds and the Water Utility Fund, the City will generate approximately $73.3 million in revenues/other sources and expend about $79.5 million, leaving a budgetary shortfall of approximately $6.2 million; however, $3.3 million of this shortfall is due to the nature of accounting for restricted fund revenues. A more detailed explanation can be found in the respective fund sections of this report.

Despite the positive economic growth that we are seeing, staff continues to be vigilant and fiscally responsible in our spending habits. In addition to the additional resources from the new Measure Y revenue, which have allowed us to once again weather a financial crisis for this budget year, we are able to utilize Federal monies such as Agenda Report February 15, 2022
RESOLUTION NO. 22:009 – APPROVING FY 2022 MIDYEAR BUDGET Page 2 H:\Finance\Admin\BUDGET\AGENDA\FY 2022 Agenda Reports\MY 2022 Budget Agenda Report - Draft.doc; 2/10/2022 5:01 PM CDBG-CV and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funding to augment existing COVID-19 mitigation programs and provide financial assistance for residents and businesses and embark on new major infrastructure projects.

The positive outlook in the economy gives us the confidence to make certain proposals and include some employee-related cost and other potential impacts to employee benefits in the midyear budget:

• Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) of 4% - $139,450 - we are proposing a 4% COLA for full-time employees to meet the rising inflation rate. The COLA is proposed to take effect January 29, 2022. The General Fund absorbs $125,300 of this increase.
• Restructuring of PT Salary Table – There is no impact to the midyear budget as funding was already included in the FY22 Approved Budget; however, the salary table, which is proposed to take effect on January 29, 2022, incorporates changes to comply with the required California minimum wage law that took effect January 1, 2016. Since that time, as a temporary measure, we have been adjusting employees’ hourly rates to meet the minimum wage. In 2020, staff hired a consultant to conduct a compensation study to help align the part-time pay rates with appropriate job functions and revise the salary schedule accordingly.

The cost of this increase is estimated at $30K for the remaining fiscal year period.
• Pension Cost - $592,000 – Recently, the City issued the Pension Obligation Bond (POB) to take advantage of the low interest rate and to pay down the City’s unfunded accrued pension liability. The cost of issuing the bond is $592,000, which comprises the issuance cost of $393,450 and the first interest payment of $198,550. The General Fund absorbs $500,000 of this cost. • Bilingual Pay – $26,500 for anticipated discretionary benefit • Cell Phone Reimbursement - $13,750 for anticipated discretionary benefit The following table summarizes the operations of the City:

As stated earlier, back in June, we took a conservative approach in projecting our major revenue sources such as Sales Tax, Utility Users Tax, and Licenses and Fees in anticipation of a continued economic downturn due to the pandemic. At this time, staff is forecasting a better revenue projection. General Fund revenue is projected to bring in an additional $3.8M. This is mainly due to the increase in Sales Tax of $1.1M, Transaction Tax (Measure Y) of $1.6M, Utility Users Tax of $523K, Development Fees of $232K, and Motor Vehicle License Fees of $187K. On the expenditure side, items that are added to the budget are related to one-time expenditures, capital projects, and increases in operating cost to provide services, emergency repairs and other necessary programs/services that various departments are proposing at this time.

Restricted Funds/Capital Improvement Projects
Restricted Funds are funds we receive that are allocated for specific (“restricted”) purposes and include grants and special funding from Federal, State, and local sources.

At midyear, we anticipated and accounted for a budget shortfall of $3.3 million. It should be noted that the term “deficit” means current revenue minus current expenditures; therefore, the timing difference between the advance receipt of restricted funds and the delayed use of those funds result in a deficit in the current year for these special funds.

However, by standard practice, because some grant revenues were received and recorded in prior years, the City will tap into the prior year fund balance to cover the expenditures of the current year.

The City was allocated $18,895,185 from the American Rescue Plan Act Fund of 2021 that needs to be obligated by December 31, 2024 and expended by December 31, 2026. For midyear 2022, we budgeted approximately $2.4 million to fund CIP’s. In Agenda Report February 15, 2022
RESOLUTION NO. 22:009 – APPROVING FY 2022 MIDYEAR BUDGET Page 5 H:\Finance\Admin\BUDGET\AGENDA\FY 2022 Agenda Reports\MY 2022 Budget Agenda Report - Draft.doc; 2/10/2022 5:01 PM addition, the City received an unexpected additional STAR allocation of $309K, which allows us to meet increased cost of providing the STAR program.

In the Water Fund, there are a few proposed changes at Midyear as listed below. First, out of an abundance of caution related to a detection of PFAS, production at Well 14 was stopped in February of 2020. Consequently, we anticipated purchasing an increased amount of imported water to keep up with the demand, as well as continuing to operate Well 15. In addition, the opening of the new constructed Well 16 is being delayed due to the presence and treatment of arsenic. To address the rising cost of providing water, the City recently approved the water rate increase to generate a projected 9% increase in Water revenue. The rate increase will phase in over the next five years, beginning with the first rate increase that took effect on January 1, 2022. As a result of phasing in the rate increase, the City is anticipating that the Water Fund will still post a deficit of $3.0 million at June 30, 2022, and the Water Fund reserve will temporarily cover this deficit.
