CONDOMINIUM CONVERSIONS
REQUEST
This item is a request for the City Council to approve the adoption of Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (ZOTA) No. 23 to revise regulations for condominium conversions in the R-M (Multiple-Family Residential) zone. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendment with a public hearing on March 8, 2022 and unanimously recommended approval.
BACKGROUND
The City has a longstanding policy of supporting a variety of housing types, including single-family homes, duplexes, apartments, and condominiums. The recently adopted Housing Element includes Policy 2.2 (Diversified Housing Types), which reads:
Facilitate the development of a range of residential development types which fulfill regional housing needs, including accessory dwelling units, lowto-moderate-density townhomes, and higher-density apartments and condominiums, and mixed-use projects.
Additionally, the Paramount Climate Action Plan (adopted by the City Council in July 2021) includes Strategy LU1a of Measure LU1: Promote Smart Growth, Transit-Oriented Development, and Complete Neighborhoods with the following implementing action:
Promote an appropriate mix of housing (for all household income levels), retail, and office space.
Maintaining quality rental housing is important to meet community needs. At the same time, homeownership is desirable as a means of enhancing neighborhood stability with the longer-term residency of owner-occupied housing. Condominiums, which are separately owned individual housing units in a larger property with common ownership in areas such as parking lots, common open space, common landscaping, and certain amenities, are generally somewhat more affordable than single-family properties.
Condominium housing can be an excellent entry to the housing market, some residents Agenda Report April 5, 2022
ORDINANCE NO. 1162 Page 2
prefer condominium living for minimal exterior maintenance, and condos are often an option for residents opting to downsize from a single-family home.
A process for existing apartments and other rental housing to be converted to condominiums has been in place for decades. The State regulates condo conversions, and Section 17.44.160 of the Municipal Code regulates condominium conversions at the City level following City Council adoption of Ordinance No. 786 in 1990.
The City Council most recently approved a condominium conversion application in 2006.
However, the applicants ultimately let their approval expire. The most recent completed condominium conversion project was at 8350-8356 Gardendale Avenue in 2005.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
Since the City last updated condominium conversion requirements, the State has periodically revised regulations. Additionally, a condominium conversion revival is reportedly underway as apartment owners and investors see opportunity in selling individual units. As such, it is important to proactively have revised regulations in place that balance the interests of applicants and tenants and bring consistency with other City regulations.
The Assistant City Attorney worked with staff to develop the proposed ordinance which includes the following:
Accommodates conversions of substantially rehabilitated housing developments that predate the 1982 Building Code. The existing regulations only allow buildings constructed following the 1982 Code to be eligible for conversion. Adds tenant notice requirements.
Restricts evictions – No eviction shall occur as a result of conversion for at least 180 days after the approval of a tentative map (the first step in the formal subdivision process).
Provides financial assistance – The applicant shall provide financial assistance equal to twice the average monthly rent for the three-month period prior to the filing of the tentative map to any tenant that relocates after the City Council approval of a tentative map. The financial assistance payment shall be made 30 days prior to the termination of the tenant's tenancy.

Subject: PUBLIC HEARING - ADOPTION OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN (FY 2022-2026), ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN (FY 2022-2023), AND ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING (FY 2022) FOR THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME INVESTMENT
PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) PROGRAMS
BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount receives federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
As a condition of the funding, the City is required to prepare a comprehensive Consolidated Plan every five years, an Annual Action Plan, and an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice.
DISCUSSION
2022-2026 Consolidated Plan, Strategic Plan
The Consolidated Plan provides HUD with a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis of the City’s housing and community needs and resources. The Consolidated Plan also includes a Strategic Plan to outline the City’s priorities, objectives, and strategies over a five year period. The Strategic Plan defines the framework for the investment of an anticipated $5.3 million in CDBG and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds to address priority needs. HUD requires that the City update its Consolidated Plan every five years, which was last done in 2017. The updated Consolidated Plan is attached and is effective July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2027.
The priority needs and goals established in the Strategic Plan are based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis. These analyses are informed by the City’s Resident and Stakeholder Surveys detailed under the Community Outreach section below, as well as housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system from the 2013‐2017 American Community Survey (ACS) 5‐ Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS).
Additional sources of information used to identify needs and establish priorities were obtained from publicly data and documents as well as through consultation with local Agenda Report May 3, 2022
CDBG AND HOME FUNDING PLANS Page 2
nonprofit agencies involved in the development of affordable housing and the delivery of public services to low‐ and moderate‐income people, persons with special needs and those at risk of homelessness.
Based on the community input and available data collected, the following priority needs are established as part of this Plan:
• Improve Neighborhoods, public facilities and infrastructure • Promote Economic Opportunity
• Preserve the supply of affordable housing
• Provide services to low‐income residents, those with special needs and the homeless
Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low‐ and moderate‐income residents, the priority needs will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG and HOME funded activities aligned with the following four measurable Strategic Plan goals:

Agenda Report May 3, 2022
CDBG AND HOME FUNDING PLANS Page 3
One-Year Action Plan (FY 23)
The Annual Action Plan (AAP) identifies the specific activities that City staff engage in to achieve the goals and objectives in the Consolidated Plan. The AAP covers activities to be implemented during the period starting July 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2023. The City’s housing, community, and economic development activities funded with CDBG, HOME, and other resources are reported each fall in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
For FY 2022-2023, the City estimates that it will receive $777,492 of new CDBG funds and $300,303 of new HOME funds. An additional $8,000 of HOME funding is being reprogrammed from the previous year, for a collective total of $1,085,795. These estimates are based on current funding levels. Once HUD releases final formula grant allocations, adjustments to the Action Plan budget will be made to conform to the grants received.
The Action Plan identifies the following CDBG and HOME activities to be implemented during the next fiscal year:
Community Development Block Grant:
1. City of Paramount CDBG Administration $139,498
2. Fair Housing Foundation Fair Housing Services $16,000
3. City of Paramount Graffiti Removal $116,623
4. City of Paramount Code Enforcement (LMA Res.) $250,000
5. City of Paramount Code Enforcement (SBA Com.) $150,000
6. City of Paramount Commercial Rehabilitation Program $105,371 TOTAL: $777,492
HOME Investment Partnerships:
1. City of Paramount HOME Administration (HOME) $30,030
2. City of Paramount Home Improvement Program $233,228
3. City of Paramount Affordable Housing Program- CHDO $45,045 TOTAL: $308,303
Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice
The AI to Fair Housing Choice is a document intended to inform the public of the City’s actions to promote fair housing which are requirements to receive annual and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) allocations from. This year HUD is requiring all CDBG and HOME grantees to certify they have taken an action to promote “one or more attributes of fair housing” that is “affordable, safe, decent, free of unlawful discrimination, and accessible as required under civil rights law.”
Agenda Report May 3, 2022
CDBG AND HOME FUNDING PLANS Page 4
To determine appropriate activities the City should engage in to promote fair housing, the 2022 AI analyzed data, engaged the community, identified fair housing issues, and established fair housing goals and reasonable and meaningful actions. As a result, the AI established five measurable goals to promote fair housing.
The goals established in the AI are based on analysis of the City’s Resident and Stakeholder Surveys detailed under the Community Outreach section below, the 2013‐ 2017 American Community Survey (ACS) 5‐Year Estimates, HUD’s Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) Data and Mapping Tool, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the California Environmental Protection Agency, and consultation with the Fair Housing Foundation.
Based on the community input and available data collected, the following chart describes the five goals established in the AI with measurable activities:

Community Outreach
As part of the City’s community participation process, residents and stakeholders were given multiple opportunities to engage in the planning process. A public notice was published in the Press Telegram on October 15, 2021 inviting residents to participate in two community meetings to help identify housing and community needs and priorities.
Information was also made available through flyers posted in City facilities, social media posts on Facebook and Instagram, and included in the Mayor’s Update and the City’s weekly e-newsletter.
The Resident Survey was open from October 29, 2021 through January 14, 2022.
Community Outreach included interaction with residents at the Halloween Festival, Friday Night Markets, and Farmers Markets at Progress Park. Over 300 residents responded to the survey online and 10 completed paper surveys. All responses were included in the analysis. The survey was anonymous and shared with all relevant and necessary stakeholders. Individual interviews were held with the Fair Housing Foundation.
As part of the City’s citizen participation process, the City was required to make available the Consolidated Plan, One-Year Action Plan, and AI for a period of 30 days for public comment. The public hearing notice was published in the Press Telegram on April 1, 2022. The public comment period began on April 4, 2022 and ran through May 5, 2022.
To date, the City has not received any comments from the public. Any public comments received during the City Council meeting for this item will be incorporated into the appropriate document before it is submitted to HUD.

REPORT
HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM – MOBILE HOME GUIDELINES
To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: John Carver, Planning Director
John King, AICP, Assistant Planning
Director
Date: May 3, 2022
Subject: HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM – MOBILE HOME GUIDELINES
BACKGROUND
Since the early 1980s, the Home Improvement Program – formerly known as the Residential Rehabilitation Program – has assisted numerous Paramount households improve the exterior of their owner-occupied, single-family homes. Federal HOME Investment Partnership funds have been the sole funding source for the program since 2013.
Grant funds only apply toward City-approved improvements, and applicants must meet strict guideline criteria as an income-qualifying senior (at least 62 years of age with household income at or below 80% of area median income) or as a low-to-moderateincome household (50% of the area median income for a particular household size).
The Home Improvement Program provides a grant to cover 80% of the construction costs, up to $21,600. Eligible homeowners provide the remainder of the costs. Senior households and “very low income” households as defined by the Federal government qualify for a grant of 90% of construction costs, up to $24,300.
DESCRIPTION
Expanded Program
From time to time, residents of mobile homes (also known as manufactured homes) inquire about the Home Improvement Program. According to the California Department of Finance, there are 1,133 mobile homes in Paramount, representing 7.7% of the total housing units. There are 17 mobile home parks in Paramount. As a need for assistance clearly exists for owners of mobile homes, funding to assist in exterior and safety upgrades to four manufactured homes was included in the FY 2022 budget.
Expanding the Home Improvement Program requires updating the existing guidelines that were most recently amended in 2007.
Agenda Report May 3, 2022
HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM – MOBILE HOME GUIDELINES Page 2 Attachment A is the proposed Home Improvement Program Guidelines – Single-Family and Mobile Homes document. These revised guidelines expand upon the existing guidelines for single-family home assistance, and the proposed changes maintain the same funding contribution percentages and maximum assistance amounts. As with single-family home eligibility, the applicant will need to be the homeowner. Mobile homes would be limited to those that have a Certificate of Title/Registration card through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Trailers that have a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) registration would not be eligible.
Additionally, the City does not have jurisdiction over the permitting construction of mobile homes within mobile home parks. Rather, HCD issues permits and inspects construction within mobile home parks. As such, the City’s fee schedule and next-day inspection policy will not apply to approved mobile home improvement projects. Building inspection services for mobile home projects will be subject to State of California fees, timeframes, and policies.
Outreach
The expanded program to include mobile homes will be promoted through a comprehensive public information campaign. Outreach will include door-to-door flyer distribution; letters; Neighborhood Watch meetings; social media and City website posts; and an article on the City environmental website.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed expansion of the Home Improvement Program to include mobile homes will increase the number of participants in the program. The four projects budgeted total $150,000. However, as the current fiscal year is nearing the end, much of the funding may require postponement into FY 2023. Federal HOME funds are sufficient to support the changes in the program.
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 decisionmaking.
The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the Vision of a city that is safe, healthy, and attractive. This item aligns with Strategic Outcomes No. 1: Safe Community; and No 4: Environmental Health.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the report.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: David Johnson, Community Services
Director
Date: May 3, 2022
Subject: DISCUSSION REGARDING DISBURSEMENT OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT’S ALLOCATION OF CMFA BOND ISSUANCE FEES
BACKGROUND
At the January 18, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council was presented with and selected several non-profit organizations to receive an allocation of the one-time bond issuance fee from the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA) of $125,000 specified for allocation to non-profit organizations. As was mentioned at the January 18 meeting, the City of Paramount also directly received a one-time bond issuance fee of $125,000 for use by the City. The City’s allocation of funds need to be allocated to an appropriate budget with identification of our proposed uses of these funds. As required by CMFA, all funds will be allocated to the FY 22 budget and disbursed or expensed prior to the end of the fiscal year.
As part of the non-profit disbursement, Pathways Hospice, Su Casa, and Community Family Guidance Center were scheduled to receive their portion of the non-profit CMFA disbursement according to the City Council approved allocation of 50% to Pathways, and 25% to both Su Casa and Community Family Guidance Center. Unfortunately, escrow disbursed the funds equally and each non-profit received approximately $41,600 each or one-third of the disbursement amount.
DISCUSSION
The City Council has discretion as to the allocation and disbursement of the City’s portion of the bond issuance fee. Below are some items for consideration:
Pathways Hospice
Since Pathways Hospice was originally promised an allocation of $62,500 (50% of the $125,000), staff is recommending that Pathways receive $20,000 from the City’s CMFA allocation to correct this error.
Other Community Organizations
There were 5 community organizations that provide a variety of services to our community that were not allocated funds from the CMFA non-profit disbursement agreed upon in January 2022. Staff is recommending allocating $60,000, or $12,000 each, to the 5 Agenda Report May 3, 2022

H:\Recreation\Admin\David\AGENDA\COUNCIL\Disbursement of CMFA Bond Issuance Fee from City Allocation.docx; 4/28/2022 9:34 AM community organizations we support each year that did not receive direct funding from the CMFA non-profit disbursement: Pools of Hope, Children’s Clinic, Children’s Dental Center, Helpline Youth Counseling, and Little House.
Paramount Arts in the Community
In support of our Paramount Arts in the Community Program, and to make it easier for our youth to participate and engage in the arts, staff is recommending $20,000 of the City CMFA allocation to go toward the purchase of youth art packets/gift cards. These art packets and gift cards will be used going forward to support our young residents with the supplies they need to engage in creating art for personal enjoyment and participation in the variety of art programming that we are offering to the community.
Eco-Friendly
The last recommended use of the City’s CMFA allocation is to purchase Big Belly Recycling Trash Units in the amount of $25,000 to place at City park facilities to encourage recycling of trash materials on the park and provide an aesthetically pleasing trash unit that provides maintenance efficiencies. The trash units actually communicate their status to maintenance staff regarding whether or not they need to be emptied allowing more efficient maintenance of the units.
SUMMARY
In summary, staff is proposing the following amounts to be assigned to our FY 22 budget for disbursement or purchase of the following items from the City’s CMFA $125,000 allocation.
Recommended
Allocation to FY 22 Budget Amount
Pathways Hospice $20,000
California Aquatic Therapy and
Wellness Center, Inc. $12,000
The Children’s Clinic $12,000
Children’s Dental Health Clinic $12,000
Little House $12,000
Helpline Youth Family
Counseling Services, Inc. $12,000
Paramount Arts in the
Community Youth Art Packets
& Gift Cards $20,000

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: David Johnson, Community Services
Director
Date: May 3, 2022
Subject: REVISIONS TO COMMUNITY GARDEN RULES AND GUIDELINES
BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount operates a community garden in the Orange/Cortland neighborhood to serve the gardening needs of our residents. The community garden is located on land that is leased from Southern California Edison. Paramount residents are allowed to lease garden plots from the City at $15 per plot, per year. Residents that lease plots are able to retain these plots for their use until such time they relinquish the plot, fail to follow City policies regarding garden use, fail to pay their annual lease payment, are unable to continue gardening due to age or disability, or they are deceased. Staff maintains a permanent waiting list for the gardens and we contact residents on the waiting list when garden plots become available.
In 2013, staff brought before the Parks and Recreation Commission a revised set of garden rules and guidelines that addressed issues not previously covered in the rules and guidelines including: lack of planting in garden plots, planting of non-edible plants, overly tall plants that shade adjacent plots, debris, over planting of cactus, and planting outside designated areas. While we attempt to address these issues with the gardeners, there have been some questions about some of the garden plots, including whether or not they’re Paramount residents and/or who was actually gardening the plots. Since 2013, several gardeners have been expelled because they were no longer Paramount residents or had essentially handed their gardens over to family members because they could no longer garden themselves. This finally allowed some movement on our garden wait list and allowed new gardeners to obtain available plots.
DISCUSSION
At the April 20, 2021 City Council meeting, staff presented a report providing a review of future community garden opportunities. Since that meeting several changes were implemented.

REVISIONS TO COMMUNITY GARDEN RULES Page 2
C:\Users\hluce\Desktop\Revisions to Community Garden Rules 4-22_Revised.docx; 4/28/2022 5:30 PM Garden Plot Policy Changes
At the Paramount City Council meeting on April 20, 2021 staff received direction from the City Council to limit future lease of the garden plots to only one versus the current two plots. This phased-in process will happen over the next two years. This has been done to increase the number of available plots so that more residents have the opportunity to garden. The gardeners received a letter back in May 2021 informing them of this policy change. We notified the gardeners that we would be reducing some of the garden plot leases to a single plot beginning in January 2022 and the remaining plots would be reduced in January 2023. The first phase reduction of plots occurred on the west side of the garden opening up 14 new plots in addition to 6 additional garden use reductions on the east side. As a result, 20 plots have been made available to residents on our waiting list.
Garden Upgrades
Much needed upgrades to the garden plots was recently completed. The garden plots are now clearly delineated using wood boards that did not exist prior to the renovation.
This made it difficult to identify separate garden spaces and allowed gardeners to grow beyond their allowed border. The dirt path running down the middle of the garden was replaced with a gravel path to improve cleanliness and aesthetics of the garden site.
Additionally, we are working with a non-profit agency, L.A. Compost, to install composting bins on site to allow the gardeners to create their own fertilizer from the composting of their organic waste material. Gardeners will receive composting instruction from the L.A.
Compost staff.
With the improvements to the garden, staff is recommending additional changes to the garden rules to improve the operation and accessibility of the community garden. Staff continues to address issues with existing gardeners following our garden rules and guidelines, specifically the maintenance of their gardens, planting of non-edible plants, overgrown or tall plants/shrubs, above-ground planters, and tools/equipment /chairs being left behind.
Proposed Changes to the Community Garden Rules
1. The growth and size of cactus planting - While cactus is an edible plant, the excessive planting of cactus creates shading issues for adjacent plots and creates a look in the gardens of neglect and non-use. We were recommending that we grandfather in the existing gardeners prior to January 2022 and allow them to keep their currently cultivated cactus but disallow cactus cultivation for new gardeners
2. Length of time a gardener can maintain a lease – Currently, a gardener can lease the same plots year after year. We have had gardeners control a garden space for 20-30 years, which often involves a violation of our rules with the original gardener allowing other family members to garden the site. We are recommending that garden leases to an individual be limited to 10 years, if there is a waiting list.

REVISIONS TO COMMUNITY GARDEN RULES Page 3
C:\Users\hluce\Desktop\Revisions to Community Garden Rules 4-22_Revised.docx; 4/28/2022 5:30 PM
3. Gardener and spouse – While the rules related to the gardens do not allow for the transfer of the garden to other members of the family, staff is recommending that upon the death or inability of the garden lease holder, the legal domestic spouse can assume the garden lease for any remaining time on the current lease and allowed period of renewals.
4. Garden Instruction – Staff is proposing that all gardeners attend one mandatory workshop per year hosted at the garden to go over rules and to instruct them about the proper disposal of nonorganic trash and the proper composting procedures for organic waste that they need to follow at the garden. These workshops would take place in November during the registration for the following year. Our gardens are intended to be actively maintained and gardened year-round to provide healthy fruits and vegetables for consumption by the gardener and their family.
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. 2: Community Health and No. 4: Environmental Health.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council approve or modify the proposed revisions to the community garden rules and guidelines.

Kim Sao, Finance Director
Date: May 3, 2022
Subject: AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS LICENSE COMPLIANCE AND
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT SERVICES WITH HDL COMPANIES, LLC
BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount requires all businesses performing any service or transaction to obtain a business operating license before doing business in the City. This requirement applies to all businesses, including one-person home-based operations. The City administers approximately 3,000 active business license accounts, renewed annually.
Business licenses generate approximately $530,000 per year in revenue.
The City’s business license program is administered by the Finance Department.
Administration of the program involves fielding inquiries and manually processing new business license applications and renewals. Current processing requires businesses to apply for their licenses in-person and renew in-person or by mail, which can only be processed during City Hall business hours. Another aspect of the business license program is compliance and enforcement. Although the City strives for 100 percent business license compliance, limited staffing and resources make the task virtually unfeasible. Moreover, the City temporarily eased its compliance and enforcement efforts to offer relief to businesses from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the economy reopened and fully functioning, the City desires to allocate resources to modernize its business license program and ramp up compliance and enforcement efforts.
DISCUSSION
The City has contracted with HdL Companies, LLC (HdL) for many years to provide management services for Property Tax, and Sales and Use Tax.
As part of their portfolio of services, HdL also offers business license administrative and technical support services. Through these services, HdL manages the overall business license process (initial applications and renewals) electronically. The services include processing of new business licenses and renewals; payment processing; on-line services; business support; collection services; compliance management; and, one-time consulting services to assist the City in exploring options regarding modifications to the current business license structure and updating the City’s Municipal Code.
Agenda Report May 3, 2022
AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS LICENSE SERVICES Page 2
HdL Business License Services Features
The following is an overview of the modernized and enhanced features offered by HdL for its business license administrative and technical support services. • Provides businesses with multiple support options for registering, renewing, making payments and for general inquiries in multiple languages via online, telephone, email, and fax. In-person support will still be available at City Hall. • The Compliance Management program is designed to identify, register and collect from business entities which are not compliant with the City’s Municipal Code.
HdL works closely with the City to send correspondence in multiple formats and languages to gain compliance.
• Enriched Data Portfolio (EDP) offers an enhanced listing of entities subjected to taxation in the City. These entities are electronically matched to the existing files of the City using advanced data matching algorithms, allowing HdL staff to identify which entities are compliant and which entities require follow up. • Experienced field crews, equipped with the most advanced tools available (mobile mapping/GPS systems, tablet computers pre-loaded with various City and statewide databases, etc.) will canvass commercial areas of the City to develop and enhance the leads identified in the EDP. Field Surveys provide additional inventories of active businesses as well as to provide on-site verifications of data pulled from other sources.
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve an Agreement with HdL to provide the City with Business License Compliance and Operations Management Services.
Contracting with HdL for business license operations management and compliance services is expected to improve the overall efficiency of business license application and renewal process. Specifically, the upgrades will result in expanded convenience and modernization of the business license system by offering online applications and renewals, an expanded customer service base using cutting-edge technology and resources, and streamlined account management. Moreover, the upgrade will likely increase revenues and enable the City to effectively enforce compliance of the Municipal Code.
The following is an abbreviated list of cities HdL provides business license administrative and technical support services:
• Commerce
• Covina
• Culver City
• Los Alamitos
• Santa Fe Springs
• Signal Hill
• South Pasadena
• West Covina
Agenda Report May 3, 2022
AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS LICENSE SERVICES Page 3
Entering into an Agreement with HdL for these services will not displace or affect any positions. The staff member who was most recently responsible for the day-to-day operations of the business license program was recently promoted to vacant supervisorial position and will now oversee the contract with HdL for these services as collateral duty.
Fiscal Impact
HdL charges a $16 processing fee for each business license account, adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The total cost for services is estimated to be $48,000 per year. HdL will also provide enforcement and compliance management services at a rate of 10 percent of all business license revenue received by the City. The estimated cost of $53,000 will be taken from the business license revenue upon completion of the project.
Pursuant to Paramount Municipal Code Section 18-30 of Article IV Purchasing of Supplies and Equipment, procurement of professional services is exempt from competitive bidding, subject to approval by the City Council for contractual services over $40,000.
The funding for these services is appropriated in the FY 2022 Adopted Budget.
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 No. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that City Council approve the agreement for HdL Companies, LLC to provide the City with Business License Compliance and Operations Management Services.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Adriana Figueroa, Public Works Director
Wendy Macias, Public Works Manager
Date: May 3, 2022
Subject: APPROVAL OF SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
PARAMOUNT AND TREEPEOPLE FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE URBAN
FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
At the November 16, 2021 City Council meeting, Council authorized the submittal of a grant application for funding from the California Urban and Community Forestry Grant, funded by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) through the State’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for the development of the City’s first Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). The application was submitted in partnership with TreePeople, an environmental non-profit organization, with the City as the lead agency.
The grant in the amount of $283,490.94 was awarded to the City, earlier this year.
The development of an UFMP allows the City to evaluate and manage its existing tree inventory while also focusing on its expansion. The deliberate actions outlined in an UFMP are meant to increase the City’s tree inventory and help alleviate the heat island effect caused by the higher frequency of extreme heat days caused by climate change.
This aligns with the City’s Climate Action Plan, Measure GA1: Support Urban TreePlanting, Park Access and Green Infrastructure’s outlined strategies, which include increasing the number of trees in the city and conducting outreach to spread awareness of the benefits associated with planting shade trees. The benefits of planting trees in urban areas are tremendous and include improving air quality and public health, promoting sustainable economics, and increasing social equity and community resilience.
DISCUSSION
The project will include potential recommendations for updates to City policies that relate to urban forestry in order to guarantee urban forest management continuity. After the UFMP is completed, the grant will provide for a community tree planting program with a 3-year care period. Tree planting sites and species will be guided by the UFMP. This project will also include an allocation for fruit tree giveaways that can be made available in conjunction with the City’s Eco-Friendly Fair.
The grant acknowledges the partnership between the City and TreePeople for the implementation of the UFMP program over a period of up to four (4) years. TreePeople will work on the development of a usable plan that will guide the community and City’s urban forest efforts, including a complete update of the City’s tree inventory which Agenda Report May 3, 2022
AGREEMENT Page 2
H:\Public Works\PWAGENDA\COMMON FILE\Agenda Rpt - TreePeople Service Agreement_ UFMP.docx; 4/27/2022 2:34 PM currently consist of over 8,000 trees. Ultimately, the main goal of the UFMP is to increase citywide tree canopy cover in order to maximize urban cooling, stormwater mitigation, and air pollution mitigation, while enhancing the aesthetics of our community. TreePeople’s estimate to complete this work is $250,490.94 and is further described in Exhibit A of the service agreement.
West Coast Arborists (WCA), the City’s tree maintenance contractor, will be overseeing the tree inventory update portion of the grant, as it is an intricate part of the UFMP program. The work performed by WCA is estimated to cost $32,207.20 and will be funded by the grant.
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. 2: Community Health, Strategic Outcome No.4: Environmental health, and Strategic Outcome No.5: Attractive and Well-Maintained Infrastructure.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council approve an agreement with TreePeople in the amount of $250,490.94 for management of the Urban Forest Management Plan Program and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the agreement.

Subject: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE CITY HALL LED RETROFIT LIGHTING PROJECT (CITY PROJECT NO. 9293)
BACKGROUND
As the City continues to implement climate adaptation strategies outlined in the recently adopted Climate Action Plan, staff is frequently looking for projects tailored to climate resiliency adaptation. As identified in the Climate Action Plan, Measure EE3: Improve Efficiency of Municipal Operations and Public Infrastructure, the outlined strategies include conducting assessments of municipal buildings and performing building retrofits and upgrades. Included in the Fiscal Year 22 budget is funding for the retrofit of interior lighting at City Hall to LED to further our Climate Action Plan goals.
DISCUSSION
On April 14, 2022, the Director of Public Works opened and examined the bids for the City Hall LED Retrofit Lighting Project. The bids were opened at 11:00 AM at the City Yard.
Three (3) bids were received and the apparent low bid submitted by Remmi Construction amounted to $22,785. Bids ranged from $22,785 to $140,500. Upon review of Remmi Construction’s bid proposal, staff determined that the bid schedule had some errors.
Remmi Construction submitted an email requesting to withdraw their bid.
Therefore, the lowest responsible and responsive bid for this project is in the amount of $97,668.37 from Junior’s Construction Inc. This amount is above the budgeted amount of $65,000 and will be adjusted during the Final Budget process.
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. 4: Environmental Health and No. 5: Attractive and Well-Maintained Infrastructure.
