From the September 20, 2022 City Council Meeting:

Commenter Request/Issue/Concern Action/Comment
Albert Wilmovsky Mr. Wilmovsky complained
about loud parties and loud
music disturbing his peace in
his neighborhood. He also
complained that when he
called to report the
nuisances to the Lakewood
Sheriff’s Station, he received
poor customer service and
his call was not responded
to.

Public Safety staff met with the
resident regarding his concerns.

As the City Council has
established a zero-tolerance
policy for this sort of nuisance
activity, staff explained to the
resident that the City employs a
dedicated Sheriff’s Deputy unit to
address loud parties and noise
disturbances at any time of the
day. A patrol check was created
for the location of the violations
and Deputies will be monitoring
for any future disturbances. The
resident was encouraged to
continue to report party and noise
complaints to the Sheriff’s
Department. Staff also relayed
the resident’s complaint about the
inadequate customer service
response by the Lakewood
Sheriff’s Station to Lt. Morales.

The City expects the highest
standards of customer service in
calls for service and will continue
to work with our Sheriff’s
Department partners to continue
to improve in this area.

DENSITY BONUSES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS

BACKGROUND
This item is a request for the City Council to approve the adoption of Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (ZOTA) No. 27 to establish regulations regarding density bonuses for affordable housing projects. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendment with a public hearing on August 9, 2022 and unanimously recommended approval.

The City has a long history of supporting affordable housing construction and preservation as a counterpart to new market-rate housing to maintain a vibrant community with a variety of household income levels. While redevelopment funds were successfully used toward affordable housing construction beginning in the early 1980s, the dissolution of the Paramount Redevelopment Agency by order of the State (as with all redevelopment agencies throughout California) ten years ago brought an end to that important funding source.

On October 20, 2020 and February 16, 2021, the City Council reviewed reports on inclusionary housing as a possible option to create affordable housing. As described, an inclusionary housing ordinance is a land use tool that some cities (such as Long Beach and South Gate) have adopted as a method to create housing that is affordable to lowerincome households and to ensure a healthy mix of household incomes. An inclusionary housing ordinance requires a set percentage of housing units in a newly constructed housing development to be rented or sold to households at a particular combined affordable household income level – very low income, low income, moderate income. At the time, the City Council response to such an affordable housing mandate was to take no action. (Please note that the Gateway Cities Council of Governments is presently working on a regional inclusionary housing ordinance for future consideration.) With no immediate City Council direction to pursue an inclusionary housing ordinance with a defined affordable housing unit percentage for new housing construction, the time is right to pivot to the density bonus concept. A housing density bonus is a State requirement intended to encourage affordable housing, and it is a requirement of the Agenda Report September 6, 2022
ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 27 Page 2
City’s Housing Element. Density bonus law is an incentive-based approach to creating affordable housing.

The Paramount Housing Element is the housing-related element of the Paramount General Plan. On March 1, 2022, the City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element, which includes a Housing Plan with implementation programs. As stated in the approved Housing Element, the City will adopt a Density Bonus Ordinance that will complement other affordable housing incentives.

DISCUSSION
Not to be confused with population density, which relates to the amount of people within a specified area, housing density is the amount of permitted housing units allowed per acre. Most of the residential areas of the City, including areas in the R-1 (Single-Family Residential) and the R-2 (Medium Density Residential) zones, maintain low housing density. Housing density is generally capped at 22 dwelling units per acre in area in the R-M (Multiple-Family Residential) zone due to a local ballot measure passed by Paramount voters in 1988. However, as of 2021 the City has considered the provisions of the 22 units per acre maximum inapplicable to comply with State law. The City Attorney has confirmed as such. There are certain areas of the City that will be formally rezoned to 30 units per acre to comply with State of California requirements and implement the adopted Housing Element.

As noted above, Density Bonus Law is a State requirement. When a housing developer proposes a housing project with a specified percentage of affordable housing units, cities are required to grant additional density according to the amount and type of affordable housing units provided as specified by State law. Cities are also required to grant incentives and concessions, such as a reduced amount of parking or waiver or reductions of development requirements.

In 2020, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 2345 (Lena Gonzalez), which expanded the State Density Bonus Law. The changes boost the bonus from 35% generally up to 50% in relation to the number and income level of deed-restricted affordable homes. There is an 80% bonus allowed for housing developments that are deed-restricted as 100% affordable. The update also reduces the required number of parking spaces from 2 to 1.5 parking spaces for each two-bedroom or three-bedroom housing unit.

Proposed Density Bonus Ordinance
The Assistant City Attorney worked with staff to develop the proposed Density Bonus Ordinance. The proposed ordinance integrates California Density Bonus Law into the Municipal Code. Anticipating future State changes, the proposed ordinance includes language confirming that the City will comply with all future State revisions to Density Bonus Law.

Agenda Report September 6, 2022
ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 27 Page 3
There are a number of types of housing projects that are eligible for a density bonus, including the following – (1) a mix of 80% low income and 20% moderate income units; (2) 5% of units for very low income households; (3) 10% of units for lower-income households; (4) a senior citizen development with a minimum of 35 housing units; and (5) 10% of units for foster youth.

As a means to encourage child care centers in housing developments, the proposed ordinance (as required by State law) allows for an additional density bonus that is an amount of square feet of residential space equal to or greater than the amount of square feet in the childcare facility.

The Density Bonus Ordinance does not apply to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or housing units created through the Senate Bill (SB) 9 urban lot split process.

A local ordinance is useful for a number of reasons. It provides a clear process for developers who seek to take advantage of the State mandate, avoids a situation in which a housing developer presupposes a density bonus or incentive without first receiving Planning Commission approval, protects the City from legal challenges from developers and housing advocates, and demonstrates to the State and the public that the City is part of the solution to the housing affordability crisis.

Environmental Assessment
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) – the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

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. 3: Economic Health.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only, waive further reading, introduce Ordinance No. 1163, and place it on the next regular agenda for adoption.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION REQUIREMENTS AND

REVIEW PROCESS

BACKGROUND
This item is a request for the City Council to approve the adoption of Ordinance No. 1164 to add Chapter 15.06 (Electric Vehicle Charging Station Requirements and Review Process) to Title 15 (Buildings and Construction) of the Paramount Municipal Code.

An electric vehicle charging station is any level of electric vehicle supply equipment station which delivers electricity from a source outside an electric vehicle into a plug-in electric vehicle. Paramount residents, businesses, and organizations are generally purchasing and registering more zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). According to data from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), there are presently 346 light-duty electric vehicles and 37,345 non-ZEVs registered to Paramount addresses. While still a small portion of the overall number of new vehicles, the numbers of electric vehicles demonstrate a growing community interest in replacing traditional internal combustion engine vehicles with electric vehicles. The graph below shows the upward trend of ZEV sales with Paramount as the registered city.

Agenda Report September 6, 2022
ORDINANCE NO. 1164 Page 2
The State of California adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 1236 in 2015 and AB 970 in 2021.

These bills require local agencies to adopt an ordinance that creates an expedited and streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging systems, including a checklist of requirements with which a permit application for an electric vehicle charging station will be eligible for expedited review must be created and made available.

Creation of an expedited permitting process would facilitate convenient charging of electric vehicles, thereby supporting the City’s sustainability goals. Doing so would help reduce reliance on environmentally damaging fossil fuels and support the growing demand for additional charging stations.

The City continually works to implement climate adaptation strategies outlined in the Climate Action Plan, which the City Council adopted in July 2021. The adoption of the Electric Vehicle Charging Station Requirements and Review Process aligns with Measure TR1 (Support Fuel-Efficient and Alternative-Fuel Vehicles) of the Plan. Strategy TR1b states, “Adopt an electric vehicle charging station ordinance that establishes minimum electric vehicles charging standards and streamlines the permitting process for all new residential and commercial developments.”

DISCUSSION
While the City has installed publicly accessible electric vehicle charging stations at the Clearwater Building/Civic Center and the Sheriff’s Station and is in the process of installing additional charging infrastructure, the proposed ordinance will encourage the installation of charging stations on private property.

Proposed Ordinance
An electric vehicle streamlining ordinance must be adopted by January 1, 2023. The proposed ordinance includes a number of provisions to comply with AB 1236 and AB 970. • Checklist. The proposed ordinance includes a section that requires the Building Official to create and implement a permitting checklist of requirements under which a permit application for an electric vehicle charging station will be eligible for expedited review. This checklist has been developed and included as Attachment A. The checklist contains objective requirements for the installation of an electric vehicle charging station and a process for electronic submittal of permit applications. The content of the checklist requires the permit applicant to check the features of the existing electrical service such as rating in amperes, system voltage, and location of the electric vehicle supply equipment.
• Parking requirements. A key section of the draft ordinance is regarding possible changes to parking spaces to accommodate a charging station. If an electric vehicle charging station and any associated equipment interfere with, reduce, eliminate, or in any way impact the required parking spaces for existing uses, State law requires cities to reduce the number of required parking spaces for the existing uses by the amount Agenda Report September 6, 2022
ORDINANCE NO. 1164 Page 3
necessary to accommodate the electric vehicle charging station and any associated equipment. While there may be a nominal loss of parking spaces, there can be no net loss of landscaped areas.
• Electronic submittals. Regarding electronic submittals, the ordinance notes that the City will accept electronic submittals of permit applications, including submittals by email and the City webpage. The Building and Safety Division will also accept electronic signatures on all forms, applications, and other documentation in lieu of a wet signature by any applicant.
• Timeframe – 1 to 25 charging stations. The proposed ordinance also includes approval timeframes as mandated by the State. For projects with 1 to 25 stations at a single site, an electric vehicle charging station application will be deemed complete if after 5 business days the City has not either (1) found the application to be complete or (2) issued a written deficiency notice (a) detailing all changes needed to make the application consistent with the permitting checklist or (b) identifying specific information necessary for the Building and Safety Division to conduct a limited review of whether the project meets all health and safety requirements. • Timeframe – 26 or more charging stations. When there are 26 or more stations proposed for a single site, the process described above is the same for applications except: an electric vehicle charging station application will be deemed complete after 10 business days and will be deemed approved 40 business days after deemed complete.

Environmental Assessment
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) – the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

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; No. 3: Economic Health; and No. 4:

Environmental Health.

ATTACHMENT A
1 Permitting, Installation, and Inspection
of Residential EV Chargers
Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers types.

Be aware that there are different types of electric vehicle (EV) chargers. There are 2 basic types of EV chargers for home use (Level 1 and Level 2). Level 1 Chargers are smaller units that plug directly into a standard 120 volt receptacle outlet. These types of chargers typically require a longer period of time to recharge the vehicle. As long as the receptacle outlet being used to plug in the Level 1 Charger is existing, there is no requirement to secure a permit from the Building and Safety Division. On the other hand, if you will be installing a new 120 volt receptacle outlet for the charger, you will need to obtain a permit – but you will not need to provide any plans or electrical load calculations as would be required for the more powerful Level 2 type charging systems.

A Level 2 EV charging system requires a 240 volt electrical circuit and charges the vehicle battery much faster than a Level 1 charger. Level 2 charger installations typically require an electrical permit and inspections of the installation. In order to obtain the permit you will need to provide some basic information to show that your existing electrical service can handle the added load.

What information do I need to provide in order to obtain the permit? These Residential EV Charger Permit Guidelines have been developed to streamline the permit, installation, and inspection process.

In most cases, you or your contractor merely need to fill in the blanks on this document, attach the manufacturer’s installation instructions and charger specifications, and submit them to the Building and Safety Divison for an over-the-counter review and permit issuance. If all of the information is provided and the proposal complies with the applicable codes, the review and approval process can usually be performed overthe-counter or within a day or two depending upon workloads and staffing levels at the time of submittal. Once the permit is issued, the installation may begin. When the installation is complete, an inspection of the work must be scheduled with the Building Inspector. Inspections are typically performed on the work day following your request for inspection. Keep in mind that someone will need to be present during the inspection so that the Building Inspector can access the location of the electrical meter and EV charger (typically in the garage).

Installing a Level 2 EV Charging system often requires changes to building’s electrical wiring.

Before installing the EV charging equipment and the associated wiring, talk to your EV manufacturer about the electrical requirements for the charger unit to be installed at your home.

When installing your EV charger, be sure to use a licensed electrical contractor whose State contractor’s license and insurance are current. The contractor should follow the installation instructions of the EV charger manufacturer and the requirements of California Electrical Code.

Why is the Electric Utility concerned about your EV charger installation? Though an individual Level 2 EV charger may have a negligible impact on the utility electric system, the combined effect of several chargers in the same neighborhood could result in overloads on utility secondary wires and transformers. It is important that the Electrical Utility provider be notified of any Level 2 charger installations to ensure that utility electrical system components are adequately sized to maintain high levels of service reliability.

Subject: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH

AMBIENT PRO FOR SOUND AND STAGE PRODUCTION SERVICES FOR

THE HOLIDAY TREE LIGHTING EVENT

BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount’s annual Holiday Tree Lighting event has provided the kick-off to the holiday season for our Paramount community for the past 24 years. What started as an event with a few hundred people is now one of the City’s most popular and attended event with attendance running over 4,000 people. The Holiday Tree Lighting event has evolved into a large and complex audio-visual production.

Unfortunately, pricing for sound engineers and stage production has increased dramatically following the COVID-19 pandemic and with labor and supply issues. Staff allocated $40,000 in the FY 2022-23 budget for the sound equipment and operation; stage and chair setup and rental; decorations; refreshments; and other enhancements for the Holiday Tree Lighting event. The majority of this budget is for the stage, chairs and sound engineer.

DISCUSSION
In preparation for the Holiday Tree Lighting event, staff reached out for sound and stage production quotes from various agencies that provide the level of sound and production expertise required to operate this event.

Bidders:

Ambien Pro - $43,200
PCE - $74,728.67
Samson Sound & Lighting - $39,942.50 (does not include proper stage size) Ambient Pro successfully executed the Heritage Festival two years in a row and our most recent Friday Night Paramount concert. The sound and stage provider from last year’s Holiday Tree Lighting had a number of technical, equipment, and personnel issues that we wish to avoid at future events. Staff is more confident in the technical expertise of Ambient Pro and their ability to successfully operate the Holiday Tree Lighting event to our expectations.

Agenda Report October 4, 2022
AGREEMENT FOR STAGE AND SOUND PRODUCTION Page 2
Paramount Municipal Code Section 3.12.080 exempts professional/technical services from bidding requirements. However, since the agreement for sound and stage services from Ambient Pro is over $40,000, City Council approval of the agreement is required.

FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amount of $43,200 for sound and stage production exceeds the entire budgeted event amount of $40,000 appropriated in the FY 2022-23 Community Promotion Budget. The event also requires $16,800 for the band, chair rental, refreshments and hot chocolate, cups, plates, decorations, and miscellaneous items. The revised budget for the Holiday Tree Lighting event would be $60,000, or $20,000 more than originally budgeted.

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.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council 1) appropriate an additional $20,000 from the available general fund for the Holiday Tree Lighting event 2) approve the agreement with Ambient Pro, in the amount not to exceed $43,200 for sound and stage production services at the Holiday Tree event, 3) authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement.

(f) In the event of the CONSULTANT’S non-compliance with the equal opportunity clauses of this AGREEMENT or with any of such rules, regulations, or orders, this AGREEMENT may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the CONSULTANT may be declared ineligible for further government contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law. 8 (g) The CONSULTANT will include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (6) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to Section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each sub-contractor or vendor. The CONSULTANT will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the CITY may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for non-compliance; provided, however, that in the event the CONSULTANT becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a sub-contractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the CITY, the CONSULTANT may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

B. CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, provides that no person 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.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting CONSULTANT’s indemnification of CITY, and prior to commencement of work and/or services under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and, in a form, satisfactory to CITY.

General liability insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

Automobile liability insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned, or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than 1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.

Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this agreement and CONSULTANT agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement.

Workers’ compensation insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (statutory limits) and Employer’s Liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).

CONSULTANT shall submit to CITY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of CITY, its elected and appointed boards, commissions, officers, employees and agents.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
13 Duration of coverage. CONSULTANT shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by CONSULTANT, their agents, representatives, employees, or sub-consultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONSULTANT shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and noncontributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the CITY’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONSULTANT or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its sub-consultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONSULTANT maintains higher limits than the minimums shown 14 above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONSULTANT. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

Notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the CONSULTANT’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then CONSULTANT shall have the responsibility of notifying the CITY immediately in the event of CONSULTANT’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.

Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONSULTANT’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by CONSULTANT (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONSULTANT under this Agreement.

CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.

However, in the event CONSULTANT’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the CITY, CONSULTANT may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided CONSULTANT shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the CONSULTANT, but in all other terms consistent with the CONSULTANT’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the CONSULTANT of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide CONSULTANT with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the CONSULTANT under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to CITY for review.
15 CITY’s right to revise specifications. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the CITY and CONSULTANT may renegotiate CONSULTANT’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.

Timely notice of claims. CONSULTANT shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONSULTANT’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. CONSULTANT shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

RELATED TO WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM, BUSINESS
RECOVERY/RETENTION AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

Date: October 4, 2022
Subject: AMENDMENT TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) PROJECT EXPENDITURE PLAN AND FY 2022-23 ADOPTED BUDGET

BACKGROUND
At its meeting on March 15, 2022, the City Council approved the City’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Project Expenditure Plan that encumbered $18,895,185 in ARPA funding for eligible community programs and projects. APRA provides $1.9 trillion in federal emergency relief to address the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses, states, and local governments nationwide. ARPA funds represent a one-time funding source with restrictions that prohibit projects that create ongoing financial obligations for the City, offset tax cuts, fund employee benefits/pensions, or finance “rainy day” reserves.

Staff explained in its presentation to the City Council that expending the funds may require periodic ministerial adjustments over the course of the funding period to meet reporting deadlines or align with changes to eligibility requirements.

DISCUSSION
As of June 30, 2022, $4,909,422 in ARPA funds have been spent, leaving a balance of $14,025,993, which included accrued interest. For the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget, staff only recommended approval of $4,061,500 in budget to cover the approved ARPA projects and programs that were anticipated to be delivered this fiscal year.

However, due to changes in project timelines and forecasts, staff is recommending the following amendments to the City’s ARPA Project Expenditure Plan and adjustments to the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget:

Amendments to Project Expenditure Plan – (Table 1)
• Move $200,000 from Homeless Support Services to Affordable Housing project:
o An increase of $200,000 to Affordable Housing from $1,500,000 to $1,700,000 will be used towards the property development at 16638-16675 Paramount Boulevard for affordable senior housing.

Agenda Report October 4, 2022
AMENDMENT TO ARPA EXPENDITURE PLAN AND BUDGET Page 2
o With a reduction of $200,000 to Homeless Support Services from $1,000,000 to $800,000, the City still has other funds available for homeless support services, with $350,000 budgeted for FY 2022-23 in the HOMEARP fund and $97,313 in the CDBG-CV fund. • Decrease the allocation of the Water Infrastructure category by $634,200 and Administrative Costs category by $84,500 to offset the following increases:
o $200,000 – Small Business Assistance program to fund ten additional small businesses at $20,000 per grant award.
o $310,000 - Community Enrichment for lighting upgrades at Progress Park and All-American Park
o $176,000 - Emergency Preparedness for purchase of road barricades and message board
o $32,700 - Infrastructure Enhancement projects LED retrofit lighting at City Hall
• Within the Water Infrastructure category, reallocate $250,000 for the Residential Turf Replacement program to promote conservation for households with dead or dying turf due to drought. Staff proposes to partner with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) by committing $250,000 in City-funded rebates to MWD’s already established program as an added incentive for residents to replace their grass with drought tolerant planting or artificial grass.

Adjustments to FY 2022-23 Budget – (Table 2)
With the above changes to the Expenditure Plan and the anticipation of the projects to begin this fiscal year, staff is requesting the additional budget requests:
• $250,000 for the Residential Turf Replacement program as an added incentive to promote conservation for residents with dead or dying turf due to drought.

• $1,370,000 in the Business Recovery, Retention, and Attraction category for the purchase of underused land for future economic development within the City and the Small Business Assistance grant program.
• $1,700,000 for the property acquisition at 16638-16675 Paramount Boulevard for senior housing development augmented by a reduction of $200,000 to the Homeless support services budget.
• $12,000 to Administrative Costs to fund the ten additional Small Business Assistance grant awards.

FISCAL IMPACT
An increase of $3,132,000 to the FY 2022-23 budget for projects related to water conservation program, business recovery/retention and affordable housing will be covered by the ARPA fund. With this amendment, the estimated ending ARPA fund balance at June 30, 2023 is $6,832,493.

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. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Margarita Matson, Public Safety Director
Steven Coumparoules, Community
Preservation Manager
Date: October 4, 2022
Subject: REVIEW OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT’S DRAFT HAZARD

MITIGATION PLAN

BACKGROUND
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, or Public Law 106-390, amended the Robert T.

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act allowing local governments to apply for assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for grant funding to support the alleviation of suffering and damage caused by hazard events.

In order to be eligible for funding, local jurisdictions are required to develop and update a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The LHMP is intended to identify potential natural and caused hazards and mitigate those impacts prior to a hazard event. The City of Paramount LHMP outlines a variety of hazards, including earthquake, drought, as well as less obvious or likely events, such as dam failures and fires, which have the potential to impact the community. While the City of Paramount has already taken steps to reduce exposure to many hazard events, five-year planning updates are a requirement to remain eligible to receive federal disaster relief funding. The LHMP includes historic data of past hazard events, locations of potential hazards such as earthquake faults, the potential economic effect of the hazards, and mitigation measures for these events.

DISCUSSION
In 2019, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Management (Cal OES) accepted applications from State and local governments, special districts, universities, and private non-profit organizations on behalf of FEMA for a Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant. The City of Paramount submitted the required documentation and was awarded a $37,500 grant. The PDM grant provided the necessary funding to update the City’s LHMP. The grant funded 75% of the eligible costs of the project and the City provided a 25% match.

Hazard mitigation planning is a dynamic process built on realistic assessments of past and present information that enables the City to anticipate future hazards and provide mitigation strategies to address possible impacts and identified needs. The overall approach to the LHMP included developing a baseline understanding of the natural and man-made hazards, determining ways to reduce risks, and prioritizing mitigation recommendations for implementation. To complete these objectives, the City compiled a Agenda Report October 4, 2022

MITIGATION PLAN
qualified team with various expertise, including risk management, public safety and health, engineering and public works, water infrastructure, and emergency response agencies, to participate on a Steering Committee to guide the development of the comprehensive City LHMP.

The most significant updates to our LHMP included the addition of homelessness as an identified hazard. By including homelessness as a recognized hazard into the plan, the City may be able to utilize Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding for relief. Additionally, notable changes to the plan included a refreshed discussion on climate change and discussions surrounding equity and sensitive populations.

To comply with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, which requires an “Open and Public Process” for developing the Hazard Mitigation Plan, a draft of the LHMP was posted on our City website on September 10, 2022 for residents to review. Residents were made aware that if they would like to comment on the plan, they could do so by email, or in person at the October 4, 2022 City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of updating the LHMP is $50,000: $37,500 or 75% was awarded to the City by Cal OES on behalf of FEMA and is reimbursable on a quarterly basis. The remaining $12,500 or 25% required match by the City is budgeted within the Public Safety Administration Division.

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 Vision of a city that is safe, healthy, and attractive. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 1: Safe Community.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council review the draft Hazard Mitigation Plan, take public comment, and authorize the City Manager or his designee to submit the City’s Draft Hazard Mitigation Plan to Cal OES and FEMA for initial review.

Subject: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MIG, INC. FOR THE PROVISION OF PARK MASTER PLANNING SERVICES

BACKGROUND
The FY 2022-23 budget provided an allocation of $150,000 to develop a Park Master Plan for the City of Paramount. This plan would inventory and analyze existing park spaces, evaluate community needs, identify opportunities for new park development and renovation, and prioritize park development activity.

DISCUSSION
MIG, Inc. is a multi-disciplinary planning agency that provides a variety of planning, design, and engineering services to public, private, and non-profit agencies. One of MIG’s specialties is evaluating parks and facilities, identifying community needs, defining workable park projects, and developing planning and implementation strategies.

MIG is also familiar with the Paramount community and engaging with our community stakeholders.

MIG has provided park master planning, park and sports facility design, development of Park & Open Space Elements for General Plans, playground designs, ADA evaluations for parks, and a variety of other park planning services for 14 different states and 50 local agencies in California. Locally, they have done park planning work for South Gate, Irvine, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County and Orange County.

MIG’s work plan would be structured around the following phases:
• Phase 1: Initiation and Existing Conditions
• Phase 2: Needs & Opportunities
• Phase 3: Recommendations & Prioritization
• Phase 4: Plan Development & Adoption

Subject: Parks and Recreation Master Planning Services
Dear Mr. Johnson:

Thank you for reaching out to MIG to request our assistance in developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan for the City of Paramount. MIG is a national leader in park and recreation planning, with expertise in evaluating parks and facilities, identifying community needs, defining realistic and actionable capital improvement plans, and summarizing implementation strategies in clear, concise documents.

By preparing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan, the City will gain an understanding of infrastructure and facility needs as well as community priorities for the future. This information will support informed discussion and decision-making related to gaps and opportunities. Through this process, City staff will be better able to strategically allocate resources and leverage grant and other funding options to ensure that the needs of the community are met into the future. MIG will collaborate with City staff to identify the appropriate steps and budget for this planning process.

Additionally, building off our recent experience in updating the Housing and Environmental Justice Elements for the Planning Department, MIG is familiar with the Paramount community and engaging with various community stakeholders. This knowledge will allow MIG to hit the ground running regarding community engagement activities and needs assessment tasks.

This letter confirms our interest in working with the City of Paramount. The attached materials provide an overview of MIG, highlight key staff who will lead this project, and identify our proposed approach and project tasks based on our 8/2/22 discussion with City staff. We are happy to tailor tasks to better meet City needs.

Please let us know if you have any questions or would like an additional information. I can be reached at 503-297-1005, x2100 or [email protected], and Jose at 626-744-9872, x3050 or [email protected]. We look forward to working with you.

Proposed Work Plan
Prepared by MIG
Dated August 24, 2022
Key Contacts: Cindy Mendoza, [email protected]

Allison Lee, [email protected]
Summary:

MIG will work with the City of Paramount to develop its first comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Plan will assess the existing system, identify key issues and opportunities, and make actionable recommendations to improve the overall park system with specific attention to in-fill development opportunities, park financing and funding strategies, creative partnerships, access and equity, and key park design and recreation trends. A comprehensive approach to community engagement, with meeting translation conducted in English and Spanish, will provide important community feedback, and establish a long-term vision for the future park system serving the entire City. Ultimately, MIG will help the City prepare a Parks and Recreation Master Plan that serves to guide future planning and services.

The work plan is structured around the following phases:
• Phase 1: Initiation and Existing Conditions
• Phase 2: Needs & Opportunities
• Phase 3: Recommendations & Prioritization
• Phase 4: Plan Development & Adoption
It includes reference to the following advisory groups:
• The Project Management Team (PMT) will be comprised of a small work team of three to five key staff that will meet in each phase to provide internal direction and ensure technical accuracy of deliverables.
• The Parks & Recreation Commission (PRC) will provide overarching direction and guidance at key project milestones. This group is anticipated to meet four times during the planning process. As part of the engagement strategy in Phase 1, we’ll discuss whether this group should be expanded to include additional stakeholders and key partners to comprise a broader Project Advisory Committee (PAC). • City Council members will be consulted to ensure the plan is consistent with, and supportive of, key City initiatives. The scope anticipates meeting with Councilmembers individually in Phase 1 interviews and in a regular Council meeting in Phase 4 to review the Draft Plan.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONSULTANT maintains higher limits than the minimums shown 13 above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONSULTANT. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

Notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the CONSULTANT’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then CONSULTANT shall have the responsibility of notifying the CITY immediately in the event of CONSULTANT’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.

Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONSULTANT’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by CONSULTANT (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONSULTANT under this Agreement.

CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.

However, in the event CONSULTANT’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the CITY, CONSULTANT may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided CONSULTANT shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the CONSULTANT, but in all other terms consistent with the CONSULTANT’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the CONSULTANT of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide CONSULTANT with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the CONSULTANT under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to CITY for review.
14 CITY’s right to revise specifications. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the CITY and CONSULTANT may renegotiate CONSULTANT’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.

Timely notice of claims. CONSULTANT shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONSULTANT’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. CONSULTANT shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

AUTHORIZING A CHANGE TO THE CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE

DEFAULT COMMUNITY RENEWABLE ENERGY RATE TO THE CLEAN

POWER TIER

BACKGROUND
The Clean Power Alliance (CPA) is a Joint Powers Authority tasked with purchasing clean power and Southern California Edison (SCE) delivers it through its existing electric utility infrastructure. In the spring of 2019, Paramount residents and businesses were automatically enrolled into CPA under the 36% renewable energy or Lean Power tier. At the September 20, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council authorized staff to transition all City electricity accounts within CPA from the 36% Lean Power energy tier to the 100% Green Power tier, as it looks for cleaner and renewable energy sources.

Additionally, staff received direction to bring to the City Council a request to move the City’s default renewable energy tier currently at the 36% Lean Power to the 50% Clean Power tier. The table below shows the energy tier percentages and names.

DISCUSSION
Community Default Rate
As the City transitions into a cleaner renewable energy source for its City facilities and other electrical accounts, it is important to consider the community’s renewable energy footprint and consider the opportunity to also transition the entire City’s default rate.

Making this change in renewable energy usage aligns with the City’s Climate Action Plan, specifically Measure RE2: Promote and Maximize Community Choice Energy (CCE) and Utility Clean Energy Offerings, Strategy RE2c: Collaborate with both SCE and CPA to increase the percent of electricity that is sourced from renewable systems.

H:\Public Works\PWAGENDA\COMMON FILE\Agenda Rpt - Reso 22048 CPA Default Rate.docx; 9/28/2022 2:03 PM Currently, residents and businesses are enrolled in the 36% Lean Power tier which is lower than SCE base rate. In an effort to gradually move the Paramount community in the direction of a cleaner renewable energy source, staff is asking to transition the default rate to the 50% Clean Power tier. This transition would result in an approximate 1% increase in the electricity rate citywide, bringing it in line with SCE’s current base rate.

The table below shows an example of what the increase looks like with the current rates and comparisons given an average bill of approximately $170.

While a default rate transition into the cleaner 50% Clean Power means a 1% increase to the energy rate payers citywide, the CPA has financial assistance programs available, such as the Power Share Program. This program provides low-income customers in qualifying communities with 100% Green Power energy and a 20% discount on their electricity monthly bills. A continued outreach campaign with CPA and City staff may increase enrollment into the Power Share Program which will allow residents to reap the benefits of 100% Green Power energy at a discounted rate.

Outreach Campaign
Part of the outreach campaign to inform the community about the transition in to the 50% Clean Power tier and the Power Share Program, would include information to residents and businesses on their available options. During the last City Council meeting, one of the biggest concerns expressed by the City Council was that residents have the option of moving up or down energy tiers based on their financial capabilities or qualifying program subsidies. If the City Council approves this transition, the default rate will become effective October 1, 2023. Staff will work with the Clean Power Alliance in the months leading up to the transition to inform the community on their available options and the importance clean renewable energy makes on our environment and our future.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City.

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.

Energy Product July 2022 (Typical Bill) % Difference
