Sol Bejarano, Management Analyst
Date: October 10, 2023

Subject: ORDINANCE NO. 1176/ZONE CHANGE NO. 246
16305 HUNSAKER AVENUE

BACKGROUND
The Zoning Map, adopted with the Zoning Ordinance in 1962, can be amended in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.52 of the Municipal Code. Following a Planning Commission recommendation, the City Council can consider a proposed zone change.

This item is a request to change the official Zoning Map from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to PD-PS (Planned Development with Performance Standards)/SingleFamily Residential at 16305 Hunsaker Avenue. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed zone change with a public hearing on July 5, 2023, and unanimously recommended approval.

This zone change precedes the transfer of the property at 16305 Hunsaker Avenue to a nonprofit affordable housing developer and the subdivision of the property into two separate parcels. One single-family home will be constructed on each of the two resulting properties for the future sale to income-qualifying households.

The property is 7,840 square feet and consists of two detached housing units. The first structure measures 1,642 square feet, and the second structure measures 814 square feet. As evidenced by the following site photos, the property has been in an extremely dilapidated condition for several years and has had a long history of numerous code violations over the years.

In 2019, the City Council authorized acquisition of the 7,840 square-foot site using the former Redevelopment Agency’s Low-to-Moderate Income Housing Fund with the purpose of building affordable housing.

Site Photos
Below is a photo looking west at the front of the subject property and one photo looking south at the rear of the property.

DISCUSSION
Pending City Council review and approval of a Development and Disposition Agreement at a later date, staff will be proposing to partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, Inc., to develop the property. As a California nonprofit organization, Habitat for Humanity works with families, local communities, volunteers, and partners from around the world so more people can live in affordable and safe homes.

Agenda Report OCTOBER 10, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 1176/ZONE CHANGE NO. 246 Page 3
With the unique shape of the lot, the particular size, and the current R-2 (Medium Residential Density) zoning designation, only one single-family residential unit could be constructed at the site. The PD-PS proposal will allow for the development of two singlefamily homes on individual parcels. Doing so will allow for an additional affordable unit to benefit an additional qualifying household. Both lots will be accessed from the public street and have an easement for a shared driveway approach and driveway leading to each unit’s two-car garage.

Aerial Photo
Below is an aerial photograph indicating the location of the subject site.

Project
As seen in the following site plan, the project consists of subdividing the property into two parcels for the construction of two attached two-story single-family homes that will share one common wall along the garages. Each home will have three bedrooms, two and onehalf bathrooms, and a laundry closet. The lots are 3,360 square feet and 4,310 square feet respectively. The street-facing lot (Lot 1) will measure 3,360 square feet, and the home will contain 1,352 square feet of livable space with an attached 441 square foot two-car garage. The rear lot (Lot 2) will measure 4,310 square feet, and the home will contain 1,368 square feet of livable space with an attached 441 square foot two-car garage. The parcels in this project will incorporate the appropriate setback requirements in proportion to the lot size, and the design will be reviewed administratively.

Agenda Report OCTOBER 10, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 1176/ZONE CHANGE NO. 246 Page 4
Site Plan
Below is the proposed site plan.

Analysis
The existing R-2 zone allows one housing unit for every 3,750 square feet of lot area, with each property having a side yard of not less than five feet, a rear yard of not less than 10 feet, and a front yard of not less than 20 feet. As mentioned above, the proposed project involves constructing two 2-story single-family homes on individual lots that will be sold separately. The proposed zone change represents an increase in the number of units at the site. The zone change will meet a market need for low-density residential development and will provide two affordable homes for low-to-moderate income households.

The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Multiple-Family Residential, which allows single-family and multifamily residential uses.

Given that the current R-2 zoning standards permit two single-family residential units at the property and the proposal is to construct two single-family units, the project is not out of character with the General Plan. Finally, the project will integrate well with the surrounding neighborhood, which is comprised of single-family residential properties developed at varying densities.

Agenda Report OCTOBER 10, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 1176/ZONE CHANGE NO. 246 Page 5
Proposed Zone Change
The existing and proposed Zoning Map are included as attachments. Maps representing land use and the General Plan Land Use Designation are also included for reference.

Summary
The requested zone change will allow for the development and individual sale of two single-family residential parcels. The proposal will successfully integrate into the surrounding neighborhood. Approval of the proposed project will allow for a significant aesthetic improvement to the physical environment on Hunsaker Avenue. Additionally, the project will be similar to the Gold Key Development housing tract off of Atlantic Place, a highly successful residential project with smaller lots and building setbacks than a typical single-family residential development.

Environmental Assessment
The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption – infill development projects in urban areas.

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. 1176, and place it on the November 14, 2023 agenda for adoption. https://paramountcity1957.sharepoint.com/sites/Planning/Shared Documents/PLANNINGDIV/SOL/Reports 2023/ord1176zc246rptcc.docx

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only, waive further reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1178.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: John Carver, Planning Director
John King, AICP, Assistant Planning
Director
Date: October 10, 2023

Subject: ORDINANCE NO. 1178/ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 32 IMPLEMENTING THE PROVISIONS OF SENATE BILL 9

BACKGROUND
This item is a request for the City Council to approve Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (ZOTA) No. 32, implementing the provisions of Senate Bill (SB) 9.

On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed SB 9 into law. SB 9, which took effect January 1, 2022, requires cities to approve Urban Lot Split and Two-Unit Residential Development applications on property zoned single-family in an urbanized (not rural) area when all related requirements are met. SB 9 took effect January 1, 2022. In Paramount, SB 9 is applicable to properties in the R-1 (Single-Family Residential) zone.

The City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1157 on December 14, 2021 in order to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents within the City of Paramount while complying with State law.

On January 18, 2022, the City Council approved the extension of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1157 up to 10 months and 15 days to allow time to fully develop regulations for SB 9-related applications.

At its meeting on September 6, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance regarding SB 9.

DISCUSSION
SB 9 severely limited a City’s ability to adopt traditional design and development standards. Staff has drafted an ordinance that attempts to maintain as many of Paramount’s traditional design standards while remaining in compliance with the provisions of SB 9. The following are proposed provisions of the draft ordinance. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the proposed changes reflected in this ordinance.  Definitions. Definitions related to Urban Lot Splits and Two-Unit Residential Development will be incorporated into Section 17.08.020(I) of the Municipal Code.

Agenda Report October 10, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 1178/ZOTA NO. 32 Page 2
 Zone. Language restricting Urban Lot Splits and ministerial Two-Unit Residential Developments to the R-1 zone is in Section 17.08.140(C)(1).  Short-term rentals. Short-term rentals are prohibited.  Impact fees. Any applicable development fees adopted by the City Council shall be paid before issuance of a building permit.
 Objective standards. Design standards are included for roofs, doors, exterior materials, garage doors, tarps, roof-mounted equipment, balconies, water heaters, building height, driveways, and utility connections.
 Fire sprinklers. Housing units created through the Two-Unit Residential Development process shall be fire-sprinklered.
 Yard requirements. Two-Unit Residential Developments must have a minimum rear yard and side yard setback of four feet. The State requires cities to allow these reduced setbacks. As a comparison, the Municipal Code requires a 15-foot rear yard setback and a five-foot side yard setback for “traditional” developments in the R-1 zone.
 Parking. Two-Unit Residential Developments shall provide off-street parking of one space per housing unit unless the parcel is located within one-half mile walking distance of a “high-quality transit corridor” as defined by the State. Presently there are no high-quality transit corridors in Paramount.
 Landscaping. Landscaping shall be drought tolerant, and at least one 24-inch box shade/canopy tree per housing unit must be planted in compliance with Chapter 17.96 (Water-Efficient Landscape Provisions) of the Paramount Municipal Code.  Accessory dwelling units (ADUs). No ADU or Junior ADU shall be allowed on or within any unit or lot for which the Urban Lot Split process and the Two-Unit Residential Development process is employed.

Environmental Assessment
This ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305, minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20% that do not result in any changes in land use or density and Section 15061(b)(3) which is 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.

Subject: TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

BACKGROUND
The City’s Finance Department is responsible for managing the cash and investment portfolio for the City, Successor Agency for the Paramount Redevelopment Agency, and Paramount Housing Authority. The City’s investment policy was last revised and adopted on June 13, 2023. The California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) certified that the investment policy of the City of Paramount complies with the current State statutes governing the investment practices of local government entities located within the State of California. The City’s primary investment objectives are to preserve the safety of principal, maintain an adequate level of liquidity, and maximize investment income while remaining consistent with the other more important objectives.

DISCUSSION
As of September 30, 2023, the City’s portfolio totaled $68,914,744. This was composed of $11,684,452 in liquid balances and $57,230,291 in investments. For the quarter, the total interest earned was approximately $675,293.

The City maintains its liquid balances mainly in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) Pool account to take advantage of the higher interest rate that averaged

5.46%, while LAIF only averaged 3.59% for this quarter. The CAMP account has a same day liquidity similar to LAIF.

The investments, which include agencies, treasuries, and certificates of deposits, have a par value of $58,457,000 with an average yield of 4.05% and maturity dates ranging from one month to five years. The City’s investments are purchased and held until maturity.

For the quarter ending September, the City purchased 61 investments at a par value of $24,570,000. In the same period, four investments matured.

The City’s investment portfolio is in compliance with the City’s Investment Policy and has sufficient cash flow from a combination of liquid balances, maturing securities, and income to meet the City’s expenditure requirements for the next six months.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: David Johnson, Community Services Director
Date: November 14, 2023
Subject: RESOLUTION NO. 23:036 - APPROVING APPLICATION FOR GRANT

FUNDS FROM THE CALIFORNIA PARKS AND RECREATION OFFICE OF

GRANTS AND LOCAL SERVICES FOR THE OUTDOOR EQUITY

GRANTS PROGRAM

BACKGROUND
On November 8, 2016, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 209 which created the Outdoor Equity Grants Program. Unlike previous competitive grants being offered from the California Parks and Recreation Office of Grants and Local Services, the Outdoor Equity Grants Program focuses on programming and not capital projects. The grant aims to increase the ability of residents in low income urban and rural communities to participate in outdoor experiences at State parks and other public lands.

DISCUSSION
The City applied for funding in the 2021 grant cycle but was not awarded a grant. Staff is seeking to apply for the 2023 grant cycle (Round 2) for the Outdoor Equity Grants program. In this round, there will be approximately $50 million in competitive programming grants statewide. The maximum grant amount is $700,000 and the minimum amount is $20,000. Agencies can submit multiple programming grant applications and there is no matching requirement; the entire cost of the program can be fully grant funded. Each grant is associated with a “home base” which will act as the meeting place for both enrichment related activities in the community and trips from the community to natural areas. The program is intended for children from Kindergarten to 12th grade but can also be multi-generational. We intend to apply for one grant and the Mariposa Center would be our “home base”.

The grant application is due December 14, 2023 and requires a resolution from the City Council approving the application as part of the grant submittal process. Attached is Resolution No. 23:036 that authorizes the submittal of our applications under the Outdoor Equity Grants Program.

FISCAL IMPACT
Should grant funding for this project be awarded, the operation of an Outdoor Equity program out of Mariposa Center would be fully funded by the grant and not impact the General Fund.

MISSION, VISION, VALUE 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 read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 23:036.

LIGHT RAIL PROJECT

BACKGROUND
In September 2020, the City Council approved a Master Cooperative Agreement with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) for the West Santa Ana Branch Light Rail Project. This project will connect southeast Los Angeles County to downtown Los Angeles through a 19-mile light rail corridor with a proposed transit station in the City of Paramount.

DISCUSSION
Given that LACMTA, with eight other cities involved in the project, has finalized, and agreed to a Master Cooperative Agreement, they are now proposing amendments to ensure alignment and equal benefits to all cities. These proposed amendments entail adding expressed acknowledgements, further clarifications, and other various administrative adjustments. Please see attached letter from LACMTA for the full list of changes from previous agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is currently 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 decisionmaking.

Between

THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT
and

LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AMENDMENT NO. 1
____________________________________________________________________________ This first amendment ("Amendment No. 1") to the Master Cooperative Agreement for the design, construction and operation and maintenance of a portion of the WSAB Project ("MCA"), is entered into by and between the City of Paramount (as defined more fully in the MCA, the "City") and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (as defined more fully in the MCA, "LACMTA").

In consideration of the mutual covenants of the Parties as set out below, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Unless expressly defined in this Amendment No. 1 or the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings given in the MCA.

2. Pursuant to Section 10.7 (Amendments) of the MCA and subject to the terms of this Amendment No. 1, the Parties mutually agree to modify the MCA with effect from the date on which this Amendment No. 1 has been fully executed on behalf of the City and LACMTA ("Effective Date") as follows:
a) Amendment to Recitals. The Recitals of the MCA are hereby amended by re-numbering the existing Recital C of the MCA to Recital D and adding a new Recital C as follows:
"(C) The Measure M ordinance requires local jurisdictions to pay three per cent of the total project cost of a major Measure M rail project (known as the "3% Contribution"). The Measure M guidelines reflect provisions adopted by the LACMTA Board (including Motion 14.2 (2016-0451) passed on May 26, 2016) that allow for local jurisdictions, through an agreement with LACMTA, to meet all or a portion of their 3% local contribution obligation through first/last mile investments (such portion being the "3% Local Funding Contribution Credit"). This Agreement does not address, and is not intended to address any terms and conditions with respect to any 3% Contribution for the WSAB Project by the City nor any 3% Local Funding Contribution Credit for first/last mile investments. Any terms and conditions with respect to any 3% Contribution for the WSAB Project by the City, including any terms relating to any 3% Local Funding Contribution Credit or other in-kind contributions, will be discussed, negotiated and agreed by LACMTA and the City under separate agreements. Further, this Agreement does not address, and is not intended to address any terms and conditions with respect to the LACMTA Board’s Land Bank Pilot Partnership with Los Angeles County Motion (June 2022 and any other relevant dates). Any City participation in, and the terms and conditions with respect to any City participation in, any such programs and initiatives would be discussed, negotiated and agreed by responsible parties under a separate agreement. The City disclaims any liability arising out of or related to the Land Bank Pilot Partnership Motion (June 2022) under this Agreement." b) Amendment to Section 1.1(a). Section 1.1(a) (Scope of Agreement) of the MCA is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the Section:
"The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is being entered into while the environmental process is ongoing and the final EIS/EIR is being prepared and the signing of this Agreement by the City does not prejudice its right to participate in the environmental process nor does it predetermine the outcome of that process."
Strictly Private & Confidential Draft for Discussion: 01/10/2023 2 c) Amendment to Section 2.3(b). Section 2.3(b) (Work Orders) of the MCA is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:

Section 2.3(d) (Work Orders) of the MCA is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:
"(d) If LACMTA requests changes or additions (including any additional or supplemental provisions) to a Form 60 submitted to it by the City with respect to a scope of work under Section 2.3(a) (Work Orders) prior to issuing a Work Order, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith such changes or additions. Upon agreement of any such changes or additions (and any necessary City council approval for such changes or additions), LACMTA will issue a Work Order to the City for the applicable scope of work, with the agreed changes or additions and following receipt of that Work Order, the City must promptly and without delay (and in any case within 10 days of issuance by LACMTA) accept any agreed changes or additions to the applicable Form 60 by counter-signing the Work Order or otherwise by written acceptance by the City Representative, in each case followed by prompt commencement of the work authorized under that Work Order. If the City fails to accept the Work Order within 10 days, the Work Order will be deemed to be accepted by the City. Nothing in this Section 2.3(d) shall prohibit LACMTA from approving a Form 60 under Section 2.3(b) (Work Orders) in part and authorizing the City to commence the approved part of the scope of work in accordance with that Form 60." e) Amendment to Section 2.3(f). Section 2.3(f) (Work Orders) of the MCA is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:
"(f) Except in the case of a change required due to an emergency (which notification may be given orally and any emergency work commenced before being confirmed in writing to LACTMA within three days), the City may submit proposed changes to a Work Order in writing to LACMTA for approval, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If the City determines that, notwithstanding its compliance with its obligations under this Section 2.4(a), additional personnel or other resources (including through the use of City Contractors) are required to mitigate the risk of delay in performing the scope of work within the defined schedule, the City may submit a proposed change to a Work Order in accordance with Section 2.3(f) (Work Orders)."
g) Amendment to Section 2.4(d). Section 2.4(d) (Project Schedule) of the MCA is hereby amended by adding the language in bold as follows:

results in a delay to the performance of the City's work under a Work Order, the City will be entitled to an equivalent extension to the affected deadline and any other relief expressly contemplated under the terms of the applicable Work Order (including, where the City is performing Design or Construction work, any costs associated with such delay)."

DANIEL FREEDMAN/JEFFER MANGELS BUTLER & MITCHELL, LLC

FOR SOBEIDA FILIPPI
This application is a request by Daniel Freedman/Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell, LLC for Sobeida Filippi for a development agreement with the City of Paramount for the construction, installation, and operation of a freeway-oriented digital billboard on vacant land north of Rosecrans Avenue, between the Los Angeles River and 710-Freeway [Assessor Parcel Number 6236-035-013] in the M-2 (Heavy Manufacturing) zone.

On September 6, 2023, the Development Review Board approved Development Review Application No. 23:013 to construct and install a freeway-oriented digital billboard on vacant land. On the same date, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the newly proposed development agreement.

On October 10, 2023, the City Council opened and continued the public hearing for Ordinance No. 1177 to the November 14, 2023 City Council meeting in response to the applicant’s request. The applicant and City Attorney require additional time to further discuss the revenue sharing aspects of the development agreement. As such, staff recommends that the City Council continue the public hearing to the November 28, 2023 City Council meeting.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council continue the public hearing for Ordinance No. 1177 to the November 28, 2023 City Council meeting.

As the City’s reliance on cloud-based technologies grows for internal processes, staff is proactively seeking technology solutions capable of integrating City online services that can provide seamless interaction with residents and community stakeholders.

Consolidating the wide scale of service requests under a single platform will reduce inefficiencies, provide economy of scale, and enable a for a convenient one-stop-shop for residents.

Staff will present the City Council with a demonstration of a new type of technology known as a Software as a Solution (SaaS) platform capable of providing customers with a “virtual City Hall” that would result in an overhaul of the City’s website and service request system.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Margarita Matson, Public Safety Director
Date: November 14, 2023
Subject: AGREEMENT WITH CARE SOLACE, INC. FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024

BACKGROUND
Recently, City staff were approached by Care Solace to discuss a proposal to initiate a pilot program to provide mental health care coordinator services to all City of Paramount residents, similar to what they are already providing to neighboring cities and various school districts. Care Solace is a social purpose company on a mission to improve equitable access to mental health and substance use treatment. Care Solace is not a direct provider of services but instead helps people navigate through the complex maze of available services involving both public and private mental health providers.

DISCUSSION
Care Solace provides online resources including a live 24/7 concierge designed to assist individuals in finding local mental health-related programs, substance use treatment providers, and counseling services. Care Solace’s proprietary database is integrated into every medical provider and insurance plan in the State of California, including free and sliding scale services for families with no medical insurance. Care Solace helps individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or financial situation, with particular focus dedicated to the inclusion of the unhoused population in various social services.

The key benefits of Care Solace are that the platform provides real-time data on community mental health needs, including treatment categories, appointments booked, and demographics, which are critical in providing insights and developing action plans.

Care Solace would also help connect City staff and Paramount residents to the right help at the right time. The program supports equitable access to care regardless of medical coverage, including private insurance, Medicaid, and other sliding scale options for those without insurance.

On Tuesday, October 10th, Mr. Chad Castruita, Founder & CEO of Care Solace, provided a comprehensive overview of the program to the Homeless Ad Hoc Committee comprised of City Council members Peggy Lemons and Brenda Olmos.

AGREEMENT WITH CARE SOLACE, INC. FOR FY 2023-2024 Page 2

FISCAL IMPACT
An initial pilot program spanning seven months is proposed. Residents would not be charged for using the service, instead the City would pay a flat rate of $1.50 per resident annually based on the City’s overall population, which comes to a total amount of $46,813 for the pro-rated seven month pilot period. Funding for this program was included in the FY 2023-24 Community Preservation Division budget under the Opioid Prevention Settlement Fund for $13,700. An additional appropriation of $33,113 from the Community Benefits Agreement Fund using funds from the Alt Air Community Benefit Agreement, is required to fully fund this pilot program. The agreement is included as Exhibit A.

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 and Strategic Outcome No. 2: Community Health.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council: 1) appropriate $33,113 from the Community Benefits Agreement Fund for this program; and 2) award the contract for professional services to Care Solace, Inc., in the amount of $46,813 and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the agreement.

City and Care Solace may be referred to individually as “Party,” or collectively as “Parties.”

RECITALS
WHEREAS, Care Solace provides a web-based navigation system to assist its clients and the City's residents in locating and connecting with mental health treatment providers (hereinafter the “Services”), and agrees to provide the Services to City on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and WHEREAS, City desires for Care Solace to assist it in connecting its employees and residents with mental health treatment providers.

Scope of Services

1. Care Solace shall provide the Services as follows:

1.1 Care Solace owns and operates a website located at the URL caresolace.org which provides information related to mental health treatment providers (hereinafter the “Main Site”). As part of this Agreement, Care Solace will manage and operate a version of the Main Site that is branded with City’s name (hereinafter the “Branded Site”). Care Solace will take all reasonable steps to ensure the Branded Site is live in December 2023.

The Care Companions are available to work directly with Authorized Users to connect them with Treatment Providers. Care Companions are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

1.4 Care Solace connects Authorized Users with Treatment Providers based on criteria such as geographic proximity, whether the provider accepts the Authorized User’s insurance, and whether the provider is accepting new patients.

Implementation Process

The obligations and responsibilities set forth in this Paragraph 39 shall apply only in the event that Care Solace or its insurer agree to provide a defense and/or indemnification.

41. Naming City as an additional insured does not alter the limitations, obligations and conditions set forth in paragraphs 38-40 and in no circumstances will Citybe entitled to coverage beyond the contracted for amount of $2,000,000 per occurrence contained in Paragraph 38.

Subject: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HISTORIC

RESOURCES GROUP TO PREPARE A CITYWIDE HISTORIC CONTEXT

STATEMENT AND HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY

BACKGROUND
This item is a request to approve a professional services agreement with Historic Resources Group (HRG) in an amount not to exceed $90,000 to prepare a citywide historic context statement and historic resources survey.

The City of Paramount and the Paramount community have long maintained a strong interest in honoring the past – the people, buildings, events, and the natural environment.

For example, in 1964 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 64:003 commemorating the “Old School Bell” at Lincoln Elementary School as a City landmark. In 1974, Ethel Hillyard wrote Fiestas, Farms and Freeways, which she updated in 1988 as The Story of Paramount, published as the definitive local history book. In 2003, the Hay Tree was designated California Historic Landmark No. 1038.

This interest has galvanized in recent years with the formation and official nonprofit establishment of the Paramount Historical Society. The Historical Society has embarked on a number of efforts to celebrate and preserve the past. In addition to informational and practical benefits to residents, business owners, property owners, and others, a professional historic context statement and historic resources survey of the approximately 10,693 parcels in the City of Paramount will supplement the Historical Society’s work.

An historic context statement establishes themes that outline important development patterns, events, and historical people in the history of a given place. A survey helps identify potential historic resources.

DISCUSSION
The comprehensive citywide Historic Context Statement will include an illustrated narrative overview history of the development of Paramount starting with the earliest inhabitants of the region through the recent past; associated themes and property types reflecting extant built resources in the city; and eligibility standards that provide guidance for how to identify potentially significant properties in the city. This document will provide Agenda Report November 14, 2023
AGREEMENT– HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP Page 2
the baseline information needed to understand the built environment in Paramount and can be used by the City moving forward for any potential history or preservation-related endeavors.

The survey will look at all potentially significant property types, including residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial properties; significant non-structural resources, sites, and landscape features; and geographically related properties that may be eligible as potential historic districts.

Historic Resources Firm
To ensure a superior work product that will lay the foundation for historic resources documentation and preservation into the future, the services of a preeminent firm with professional historians and researchers is critical. Following a thorough search and review of completed historic context statements and surveys for cities and other jurisdictions, staff recommends HRG. HRG, established in 1989, is a leading firm devoted solely to historic preservation planning, historic architecture consulting, and development services for historic resources in California. HRG has successfully completed numerous historic resources studies for municipalities throughout Southern California. HRG staff is composed of historians, architectural historians, architects, and urban planners who have extensive knowledge and understanding of the development patterns, architectural movements, and the unique character and history of the region.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract amount will not exceed $90,000 and is included in the FY 2023-24 General Fund budget. The term of the Agreement with HRG is from January 2024 to December 2024. As the project will continue into FY 2024-2025, any unused portion of the $90,000 will be reallocated to next fiscal year.

Pursuant to Chapter 3.12 Purchasing of Supplies and Equipment of the Paramount Municipal Code, this agreement is exempt from competitive bidding due to this being a professional service contract as specified in Section 3.12.080 of the Municipal Code.

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 City’s Vision of a city that is safe, healthy, and attractive.

This item aligns with all Strategic Outcomes.

Dear Mr. King:

Historic Resources Group is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare a Historic Context Statement and Historic Resources Survey for the City of Paramount. We look forward to the opportunity to work with City staff and the community on this exciting project.

HRG staff is composed of historians, urban planners,
architects, and historic preservation specialists who are experts in the history and development of the built environment in Southern California. HRG has led preservation planning efforts for municipalities throughout California, and conducting historic resources surveys and developing historic contexts constitutes a large part of our practice. All professional staff meet or exceed the relevant Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications for Historic Preservation
Professionals and all components of the project will be undertaken based on current best practices.

We have developed an approach to the project that we believe will meet the needs of the City. However, we are happy to work with City staff to refine any component of the project to ensure a successful outcome. Enclosed herein is a proposed budget for the project, description of the scope of work, and summary of related qualifications.

Historic Resources Group City of Paramount Historic Context Statement & Survey Thank you for considering our proposal. Please feel free to contact Leah Solomon Rolf, Development Manager, at [email protected] or 626-793-2400 x115, if you have any questions or need any additional information.

Sincerely,
Christine Lazzaretto
Managing Principal
Historic Resources Group City of Paramount Historic Context Statement & Survey

SCOPE OF WORK
Historic Resources Group understands the value of historic context statements and historic resources surveys to local communities, as a way to document the stories and places that make each city unique. The development of a historic context and identification of potential historic resources are also valuable planning tools and can provide background information to inform future land use decisions and potential historic preservation efforts in the community. All HRG staff members have worked with public agencies throughout California on the development of historic context statements and the identification and evaluation of potential historic resources.

Our approach has been designed according to guidance and standards developed by the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) and the National Park Service (NPS), along with best practices for conducting historic resources studies based on the team’s professional experience.

The following work plan addresses the development of a Citywide Historic Context Statement (HCS) and historic resources survey of the approximately 10,693 parcels in the City of Paramount.

We recommend a period of study that encompasses the first inhabitants of the area that now comprises Paramount, through approximately 1979. The survey will look at all potentially significant property types, including residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial properties; significant non-structural resources, sites, and landscape features; and geographically related properties that may be eligible as potential historic districts. HRG will work with City staff throughout the process to make any necessary adjustments to the methodology, approach, or timeline based on the needs of the City or the community. At project kick-off, HRG will coordinate the schedule and anticipated milestones with City staff.

Historic Context Statement
The comprehensive citywide Historic Context Statement (HCS) will include an illustrated narrative overview history of the development of Paramount starting with the earliest inhabitants of the region through the recent past; associated themes and property types reflecting extant built resources in the city; and eligibility standards that provide guidance for how to identify potentially significant properties in the city. This document will provide the baseline information needed to understand the built environment in Paramount and can be used by the City moving forward for any potential history or preservation-related endeavors.

Research for the HCS will include primary and secondary sources, including contemporary news articles and periodicals, aerial and historic photographs, tract maps, City directories, archival materials in local repositories, and consultation with local experts. The HCS will provide an intersectional approach to understanding the layers of history in Paramount, weaving together events and development patterns, social and cultural movements, important people and diverse populations, and architectural influences. The overarching goal is to provide a clear and Historic Resources Group City of Paramount Historic Context Statement & Survey comprehensive document that tells the story of Paramount and provides a solid foundation for the City.

Deliverables for the HCS would include:
x Historic Context Statement Outline: Following completion of preliminary research, HRG will develop an outline illustrating the framework and potential themes of HCS. x Draft HCS: The fee proposal anticipates two drafts of the HCS. HRG will coordinate the schedule for the delivery and review of the drafts with City staff; it is recommended that following each draft there would be time in the schedule for internal review, and the potential for either sharing the draft or providing an overview presentation to the community.
x Final HCS: The final version of the HCS would be prepared at the conclusion of the project in order to include research and input received throughout the project, as well as information about the built environment obtained as part of the historic resources survey.

Historic Resources Survey
The project will include a historic resources survey to identify potentially historic properties throughout the city. The historic resources survey will be informed by the themes established in the HCS, which outline important development patterns, events, and historical personages in the city’s history. Prior to embarking on any fieldwork, the team will compile existing information about the development of the city, any properties that have been identified in previous studies as historically significant, any property-specific information obtained as part of the development of the HCS, and any input on potentially significant places from City staff or the community.

Following compilation of this background information, the team will conduct a preliminary windshield or reconnaissance survey of all parcels in the city. As part of this effort, the team will confirm previously identified properties, and flag additional properties that appear potentially significant for additional research. Once the reconnaissance study is complete, the team will conduct property-specific research to confirm construction dates, architects, and potential historic associations in order to identify a list of those properties in Paramount that are appear historically significant. Following the completion of this work, the team will share preliminary recommendations with City staff for review. At this stage, these recommendations could also be shared with the community for feedback, to create consensus for the preliminary findings prior to embarking on the intensive level survey.

Based on the results of the reconnaissance survey and any additional research and community input, the project team will conduct an intensive-level survey of the individual properties and historic districts that appear historically significant. To streamline data collection in the field, the team will use an open source, cloud-based data collection application called Fulcrum. Fulcrum is a Historic Resources Group City of Paramount Historic Context Statement & Survey fully customizable, user-friendly application with the flexibility of desktop or mobile use with online and offline capabilities. Information gathered during the survey can be tailored to the City’s needs; it is compatible with ESRI’s GIS solutions; and all data can be exported to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or other format for uploading to the City’s GIS system, if required.

Documentation for individually eligible properties will include baseline information about each property, digital photograph, relevant research information (architect, occupant, or other information as needed to complete the evaluation), and statement of significance under the appropriate theme in the HCS. Architectural descriptions will be in bullet-point format as generated from the database, in order to streamline the process and provide a clear and concise description of each property. Documentation of potential historic districts will include the boundary and boundary justification, significance statement and period of significance, general description of the character of the district, and list of contributors and non-contributors.

The information obtained as part of this project can be used by the City as needed for the planning of local history displays; to inform future land use decisions; and for the potential development of a local preservation program if the City and community should decide to pursue a local ordinance or other regulations for historic properties. The identification of a property as potentially significant as part of a historic resources survey does not result in the formal designation of that property; listing in the California or National Registers would require a separate nomination process that includes a public hearing. The City of Paramount currently does not have a mechanism for local designation. The City Council can determine at the conclusion of the project how the information may be used moving forward.

Deliverables for the historic resources survey would include:
x Map and list of preliminary survey recommendations for review and discussion. x Forms generated from the database with the information outlined above for significant properties and potential historic districts.
x Survey Report that outlines the survey methodology, summarizes the survey findings, and provides recommendations for future study or preservation efforts. x Data (including GIS layers and data exported from the database) as requested by City staff for integration with other City programs.

Meetings & Community Engagement
HRG looks forward to working with City staff and the community throughout the project to inform research efforts, build consensus, and create a project that meets the needs of the City as well as the local community. The team will meet with City staff at critical junctures throughout Historic Resources Group City of Paramount Historic Context Statement & Survey the project and recommends two meetings with the community: 1) to provide an overview of the HCS; and 2) to provide an overview of the survey recommendations. We also recommend preparing online content in order to keep the community apprised of the progress of the project and solicit input and feedback on places and stories that are meaningful to residents of Paramount. The fee proposal includes a presentation to the City Council, if requested.

SURVEY EXPERIENCE
Historic Resources Group was established in 1989 and is one of the leading firms devoted solely to historic preservation planning, historic architecture consulting, and development services for historic resources in California. HRG has successfully completed numerous historic resources studies for municipalities throughout Southern California, and conducting historic resources studies constitutes a significant part of our practice. HRG staff is composed of historians, architectural historians, architects, and urban planners who have extensive knowledge and understanding of the development patterns, architectural movements, and the unique character and history of the region.

Christine Lazzaretto will be the principal-in-charge of the project. The development of the HCS and the field survey will be overseen by senior staff members who specialize in this work. Our team will provide services for the City of Paramount which are based on current best practices and lessons learned on previous projects and is rooted in our collective decades of experience identifying and evaluating historic properties in Southern California. Our collaborative approach allows for internal peer review throughout the process, and the opportunity to include different perspectives and professional viewpoints in the development of a sound and comprehensive HCS and survey.

Subject: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH

HAZEN AND SAWYER FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATED TO
WELL 16 START UP AND PROJECT CLOSEOUT

BACKGROUND
Water Well 16 started construction in 2020 and has been under development since. Well 16 is a 3,400 gallons per minute high capacity well that includes the required treatment systems to support the City’s potable water needs. This project faced many delays starting with the COVID-19 pandemic, equipment manufacturing delays, and State required additional treatment systems, which have all been completed.

The general contractor for this project is MMC, Inc. We noticed additional delays with the project earlier this year that were directly caused by this contractor’s lack of experienced project management. Letters were sent to MMC, Inc., in May and July to address this issue and bring the project to completion. However, project management staffing from MMC, Inc., have continued to deteriorate and very little progress is being made to conduct start-up procedures and close out this project.

The California Green Book, which governs public contracts, allows the local agency to procure professional services and direct the general contractor to utilize those services in order to complete the project. Specifically, Section 6-2 titled “Prosecution of the Work” allows the public agency to take over the work required and deduct the cost from the monies due to the contractor.

DISCUSSION
Staff solicited proposals from qualified engineering firms to perform these highly specialized services. Two (2) engineering firms responded but only one proposal was received by the submittal deadline. The proposal received is from Hazen and Sawyer in the amount of $87,920. Hazen and Sawyer is a highly experienced firm with experts in water quality and treatment, system hydraulics, hydrogeology, well design, and operations. They have technical experts and experience that extend into the construction and start-up phase of well and treatment plant projects.

Agenda Report November 14, 2023
HAZEN AND SAWYER AGREEMENT Page 2
Hazen and Sawyer was previously retained by the City to complete the application for an amended water supply permit for Well 16 and treatment plant with the State’s Division of Drinking Water (DDW), and is familiar with the plant processes and requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
As per Section 6-2 of the California Green Book, the total contract amount of $87,920 will be paid using MMC, Inc’s project retention deposit. Currently, that retention amount has a balance of $368,251.11. Therefore, there is no additional fiscal impact to the 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 decisionmaking. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 5: Attractive and WellMaintained Infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council approve an agreement with Hazen and Sawyer in the amount of $87,920 for engineering services related to Well 16 startup and project closeout.

Subject: AWARD OF CONTRACT TO COLLECTION BUREAU OF AMERICA (CBA)

FOR DELINQUENT REVENUE COLLECTIONS

BACKGROUND
The City’s Finance Department attempts to recover delinquent revenue for services, fees, or property damage owed to the City through standard invoicing, ultimately acting as an in-house first party collection entity. After staff has exhausted all collection efforts and the City is unable to recover debt owed, the remaining debt is essentially considered lost revenue. Procuring a professional collection agency to provide professional collection services equips the City with a sound strategy to increase the recovery of delinquent revenue.

DISCUSSION
Section 3.12.80 of the Paramount Municipal Code (PMC) authorizes the City to enter into a contract for professional services without competitive formal bidding requirements.

Contracts awarded under PMC 3.12.080 are awarded based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications, including the fairness and reasonableness of the cost of the services. The City Manager may award a professional services contract if the cost does not exceed $40,000; however, if the cost of the services exceeds $40,000 then City Council approval is required. Given the various delinquent revenue accounts, staff is uncertain if the annual collection fees will exceed $40,000. Therefore, staff finds it prudent as good governance to present this action to the City Council for consideration of approval.

Although PMC 3.12.080 grants exemption from the competitive bidding process, Finance staff conducted an informal bidding process of three collection agencies that offer its own unique approach and distinct competitive strategy to perform services. Those three collection agencies are:

1. Coast Professionals

2. Collection Bureau of America

3. Syncom
Agenda Report November 14, 2023
COLLECTION SERVICES Page 2
After meticulous review of all three agencies, it is determined that Collection Bureau of America (CBA) has the necessary knowledge and experience needed to serve the City’s collection needs. Collection Bureau of America is a privately held corporation based in Hayward, California with over 50 years of experience. As an expert in the collection industry, CBA services 60 client cities in California, including seven cities in Los Angeles County. The agency specializes in local government and public utilities debt recovery with a 30% success recovery rate. CBA demonstrates its ability to meet the City’s requirements for debt collections through the following actions:
• Comply with all Federal, State, and local laws with particular attention to the Consumer Credit Protection Act, Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and all other applicable laws.
• Manage delinquent accounts with ethics, courtesy, and professionalism. • Adhere to confidentiality practices, HIPAA laws, and discretion. • Apply flexible recovery strategies and approaches to collections. • Use advanced technology recovery and skip tracing services. • Provide an online client web portal and trust account for debt payments, invoices, progress reports, and account management.

If approved by the City Council, Collection Bureau of America would assume responsibility for collecting delinquent revenue on behalf of the City as the third party collector for the following delinquent revenue accounts:
• Damage to City property (Landscapes, traffic signs, autos, fire hydrants, etc.) • Bulky waste material disposal fees
• Emergency services fees (DUI-related traffic collisions requiring emergency response)
• Closed/inactive water accounts (does not include delinquent accounts that are active)
• Various accounts receivable (fees, charges, permits, etc.) Furthermore, the National Consumer Assistance Plan mandates that “involuntary debt,” such as the ones listed above except for closed water accounts, do not arise from a contract or agreement to pay, and therefore, cannot be reported to the three credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Closed water accounts arise from an agreement to pay in accordance with PMC Chapter 13.04 of the Water Works System.

This means that the actions of this collection effort will not impact one’s consumer credit report, which is an important measure of financial reliability that is used in a variety of situations, such as obtaining a credit card, applying for a home loan, or even applying for a job.

Attached is the Agreement with Exhibit A – CBA Scope of Services and Cost Proposal.

Agenda Report November 14, 2023
COLLECTION SERVICES Page 3

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for this service is contingent upon the successful collection of the delinquent revenue. CBA will retain a 25% collection fee of the principal amount collected. That means for every 1 dollar collected, CBA will keep 25 cents and the City will get the remaining 75 cents. Funding for this action was not included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget as the City will receive only the revenue after the cost is deducted.

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.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council award the contract for delinquent revenue collection services to Collection Bureau of America.

Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the CITY (if agreed to in a written contract) before the CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers.

The insurance provided by these policies shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the CITY.
(c) Additional Insured. The CITY will be named as an additional insured for all liability arising out of the operations by or on behalf of the named insured, and this policy protects the additional insured, its officers, agents and employees against liability for personal and bodily injuries, deaths or property damage or destruction arising in any respect, directly or indirectly, in the performance of the contract. -12-

The CITY of Paramount, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers are included as insureds with regard to damages and defense of claims arising from: (a) activities performed by or on behalf of the Named Insured, including the insured's general supervision of the Named Insured, (b) products and completed operations of the Named Insured, or (c) premises owned, leased or used by the Named Insured.
(ii) This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it. (iii) The inclusion of more than one insured shall not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another insured, and the coverages afforded shall apply as though separate policies had been issued to each insured.

The Additional Insured coverage under the SERVICE PROVIDER’s policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the CITY’s insurance or self-insurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 13. (d) Deductibles and Self Insured Retentions. All self-insured retentions (SIR) must be disclosed to the CITY’s Risk Management for approval and shall not reduce the limits of liability. At the option of CITY, either: the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insurance retention as respects the CITY, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers; or SERVICE PROVIDER shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

Policies containing any self-insured (SIR) provision shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be satisfied by either the named insured or the CITY. The CITY reserves the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise later.

17. NON-LIABILITY OF OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 3 RFP for Collection Services Scope of Services and Price Proposal
City’s responsibility to the Proposer -- With all new contracts, CBA likes to have onboarding meetings to review all new and future requirements, so that our partnerships get off to and continues with great success. CBA can setup specific client codes for the City if they wish to track all activity under unique codes. In addition, if the City would like their entire portfolio to have comprehensive, consolidated reporting, CBA can roll all unique codes up into a single, unified reporting code to show both an individual view as well as a comprehensive view to the City’s recovery success.

CBA has an “on-boarding” process and checklist, which is used when any new client is brought onboard takes a few days (10-20 business days) to execute and bring on a new client. This has been developed over our 60+ years of experience in bringing on hundreds of new clients from small to large.

Deliverables will be outlined through CBA’s Onboarding checklist (Shown below).

Recovery Milestones are set during our Onboarding with new clients, so they meet the City’s specific needs, not generic, average goals, but specific goals for each Accounts Receivable category outlined by the City.

Risk and assumptions can be covered in our initial two-to-four-week onboarding process, but generally there are no risk areas that CBA knows of, based upon the RFP information.

With all new clients, CBA will work closely with the client to discuss and develop the following:
o Collection strategy which best fits the client needs and recovery goals. o Client service needs and setup with CBA client services team o Client procedures and work standards
o IT and information transfer formats and methods
o Client specific requirements and training
We will work closely with the City staff to ensure a smooth transition of all customer accounts and data. CBA has detailed logs and procedures to ensure that the transition is error-free.

The full implementation and transition process take approximately two to four weeks depending on specific needs and requirements of the client.

CBA will provide either on-site or web training for the City personnel in regard to CBA systems, file exchanges and MyCBA.
©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 4 RFP for Collection Services Each of CBA’s clients are assigned a Single-Point-Of-Contact (SPOC) from our Client Services department. The contact information (phone number, fax number and email) for the SPOC will be given to the client along with the contact information for the SPOC’s manager and members of our executive team. The SPOC develops a close relationship with each of their clients and allows the client to interface with the same person daily. Any problems or issues would be brought to the attention of the client’s assigned SPOC who will work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. The SPOC will involve CBA management or executives as necessary and will keep the client updated on the status of the issue. The client has direct access to contact any of our management or executive team members if they desire. The contact information for members of the management and executive teams is provided to each client. CBA also welcomes clients to visit our facilities at any time. We will also make any necessary arrangements to visit the client location as needed. Below are some further resources we provide to make the relationships with our clients work very productively together:
o CBA offers a business card that can be placed at the front desk of the City’s finance department, so that when a customer comes in to pay a bill and needs to be referred to CBA, this is a quick reference tool for both the customer and the City to handle the payment process with discretion and ease. o CBA provides our clients with a contact card that they can use with their personnel to address any stage of a collection problem for resolution, from a level 1 general customer service inquiry all the way up to a level 5 executive management immediate response to review any customer service interaction or customer collection situation:
©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 5 RFP for Collection Services Coordination between City, CBA and Customer is approached from a customer service perspective. We want the best experience for the customer, so CBA will work with the customer to coordinate collection efforts with the City. CBA will not refer a customer back to the City, once the account is in collection. We will work with the customer to obtain the best result possible. But if a customer demands to work with the City as well, based upon the City’s policies, CBA can work to coordinate all our efforts, so the customer gets resolution to their outstanding account. If the City business rules provide for an option to warm transfer the customer back to the City, once they have completed or paid their collection debt, then CBA can transfer the customer back to the City to engage or reactivate services with the City. This approach generally works well for utility accounts or business licenses, where the customer wants to be re-activated immediately.

An additional coordination point is that CBA believes that we must offer all methods of payment for a customer to be able to pay their debt in full at their easiest convenience.

We accept all major credit cards, including American Express. CBA can process credit card and checking information by live agent on a call, by web (www.paycba.com) (experience our web payment system at this link – paycba.com) or by IVR (888-454-0313, then select 1, then enter 101 to test the IVR payment system), with the latter two available twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year. Payments by check, cash or cashier’s check are accepted by mail, walk-in, or express mail remittance as well. ©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 6 RFP for Collection Services Collection Workflow Overview

1. Project Approach - Methodology for Performing Collection Services A. CBA’s methodology and work approach to debt recovery is to treat all debtors with dignity and respect and to operate within the code of ethics provided by the American Collectors Association (ACA). The current trend in debt collection recovery is to utilize an empathy-based approach in working with the customer/debtor to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome for the customer and our client. Our approach with collection technologies is to utilize our systems as a tool to improve our performance and add value to the collection cycle. We take the time and effort to learn the nuances of the client portfolio to maximize recoveries and avoid using a “cookie-cutter” approach to collections. We work with each client to develop processes which work best for that client and do not force rigid guidelines on the clients. This is the key reason why CBA’s approach works, and the following will demonstrate how we tailor our recovery programs to the client’s portfolio to maximize recoveries while delivering world-class customer service. CBA uses all 30 collection representatives in the recovery of the City’s delinquent accounts. Our collection representatives are the main drivers for success. Their tenure, experience and training is what yields the best results with the City’s customers in delivering the best customer experience while being able to communicate effectively with the best tools used at the right cadence to maximize recoveries.

Below is information that addresses CBA’s unique collection methodologies:

Unless client requirements dictate another time frame, first notices are sent 24 – 72 hours after accounts are loaded. (Please see the sample notices located in the Attachments section of this document.) Generally, we will make phone calls every 3-days for the first 3-6 months, then one phone attempts every 7-days thereafter for 6-12 months. Then after that period, the account is cycled into our different aged recovery strategies that makes additional phone calls and has special letters sent to specifically address the situation. CBA does not have a specific target for the number of written notices or telephone attempts; each account is unique and receives a unique collection approach.

CBA’s collection recovery strategies are designed as client-specific, unique recovery programs that maximize the synergies between our comprehensive skip-tracing methods, leading-edge collection technologies, advanced predictive/interactive dialing capabilities, and intensive inbound and outbound contact and notice strategies that are tailored for each of our clients. CBA’s extensive experience and deep understanding of a clients’ collection portfolio is a unique, competitive advantage that has been achieved by retaining experienced management staff, developing specialized training and fostering precise employee skill sets that produces successful results. Results are not just measured by dollars collected, but also by other factors such as positive customer interactions, being able to show respect at all times, and having the compassion to be able to recognize a challenging financial situation that can be resolved to have a mutually beneficial outcome for the customer, our client and CBA. CBA’s in-depth knowledge of the ©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 11 RFP for Collection Services complexities of financial collections derived from our over fifty years of experience which results in the highest levels of customer satisfaction combined with maximized recovery rates.

CBA’s unique market position and agency size, mid-market, allows for us to work a strong range of client portfolio, specifically in the Municipal, Cable, Utility, Water, and Healthcare industries.

Our long history has given us a wide range of experience with portfolio placements, so CBA has worked on the recovery spectrum from Live to Early Out to Primes/Secondary/Tertiary accounts all the way to Warehousing of account portfolios. Below are the key technologies that are used to execute CBA’s overall recovery strategy for each of our clients:

Servicing platform – CBA was one of the first collection agencies to automate our recovery process onto the CUBS collection platform. CUBS is the leader in debt collection recovery software. Integrated with our CUBS collection system is our IAT automated call platform, which is used for all of our core call activities. The standard CUBS system provides for all the fundamental collection functions and compliance requirements, but CBA has extended the capabilities of this comprehensive collection system with thirty years of continual customized development through our own internal resources. CBA has developed specific modules to manage health information, so that we not only can control the security of this information, but also provide our clients detailed reporting down to the individual charge, physician, or visit level. CBA’s collection system has specific custom programming and custom screens and fields that were developed to meet the unique needs of our current client portfolios. Another unique feature of our system capabilities is our integration with the client system that allows for data files to be easily exchanged for handling new assignments, account payments and account updates. CBA developed custom processes and workflows to fully utilize the data being received from our client’s system. Our deep knowledge, being able to utilize every data point and key element and our experience allow CBA to deliver the best collection solution for the City, because CBA can maximize recovery efforts while providing the highest-level of customer service.

Core call activities are performed by our Information Access Technology (IAT) automated dialing platform called CT Center. This is a leading-edge dialing system specifically designed for CUBS and collection portfolios. IAT is fully integrated with our CUBS collection software to be able to produce a fully blended call center environment, where all calls are routed through our dialing system, whether outbound or inbound or transfers.

Our representatives are presented with the account information on screen simultaneous with the call being routed to their extension, so as soon as the customer pickups up the phone call, they are greeted with our representative addressing them by name, confirming their information and then beginning the collection conversation.

CBA was an early adopter of a comprehensive content management system that centralizes all customer information and puts it at our collector’s fingertips, so all account related content can be accessed through our CUBS collector system for our agents to see invoice copies, customer correspondence and CBA’s outbound correspondence. All collection data is backed up using our Universe data backup system and our network is backed up utilizing Unitrends backup systems. CBA utilizes CXM call and desktop screen recording system to complete our comprehensive archival system. All backup data is stored off-site through a professionally bonded backup storage service company. All documents and account records are available for audit by our clients at any time during normal business hours. Account records may be accessed 24/7 through our secure, client, web-access portal (MyCBA).

CBA has recently implemented a cloud-based learning/knowledge reinforcement application called KnowledgeLink. This application allows CBA to:
• Implement a continuous knowledge reinforcement training cycle using contents called “Topics”.
©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 12 RFP for Collection Services • Enhance training programs by easily creating content specific training modules for Topics.
• Present company and client policies of any type at desired frequencies for review and acceptance, and to promote accountability.
• Create and administer tests to validate knowledge and certify staff. • Conduct surveys to gain valuable employee feedback.
©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 13 RFP for Collection Services Sample Reports and Letters
A. CBA has the flexibility in our systems to provide virtually any report layout and format that the City may need either on a continuous monthly basis or Ad Hoc to provide the best statistical information, customer knowledge and data visualization, so that the City can ascertain trends and patterns in their account data that can assist in approving front-end changes to reduce the number of accounts that are turned over for collection work. All reporting can be generated or downloaded via MyCBA, so the City will have secure access and retrieval from archive to all customer reporting. In developing our partnership together, reporting is one of the most important areas that CBA’s team and the City team can work together to deliver reporting that best depicts the City’s account and financial information.

Monthly Status Report
CBA refers to this report as the Client Inventory report that provides a debtor status report and detail and can be tailored to include fields required for the City business needs. Below is a sample of some of the fields CBA can provide in a report, but these fields are customizable and downloadable into an Excel or PDF file format for further analysis by the City.

Enhanced Training and Compliance are extremely important in collecting debts; thus, CBA has developed a detailed training program for all collectors. All new collectors are required to complete a four-week training course before they can work any client inventory on their own. This course includes a two-week classroom training which covers all the laws and regulations, our methods, and all tools available to a collector:

After successfully passing tests in the classroom the collector spends two-weeks training “on the floor” with multiple experienced collectors and managers.

Collectors are also required to completed on-going, weekly training courses. These courses cover a wide variety of topics which are all geared toward making sure each collector is comfortable with everything learned in their initial training as well as covering any new laws, rules or regulations. Courses may also be conducted on topics specifically requested by collectors or by management.

CBA is continually monitoring client portfolios and adjusting staffing resources as necessary to provide adequate staffing for each client.

KnowB4 Cyber Training, keeping our staff aware of the latest cyber threats through awareness videos with quizzes and tracking progress.

KnowledgeSource Training, training portal with up-to-date contents of FDCPA, TCPA, FCRA, GLBA AND HIPPA, tracking progress with multiple questions and answers with leaderboard results.

Robust Compliance Management System (CMS), call recording, coaching and continual learning.

Virtual online help assist (Virtual Agent Larry) for our Agents, providing customers with accurate answers/solutions instantaneously.

The following list shows the Municipal Clients CBA has had a partnership with starting since 1986:
©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 28 RFP for Collection Services Additional Data about CBA
CBA is SOC II type II certified, which provides our clients with highest level of confidence in our people, process, and performance.

CBA hosts an annual web meeting / conference call to provide an outlook and update for the year to come, which includes all changes to laws or upcoming proposed changes that can impact the City and the debt collection process.

CBA is a member of several industry associations, so we generally meet with and see our clients, especially municipal clients, and annual meetings such as the CMRTA conference and other regional and local meetings that CBA both attends and presents at throughout California.

CBA provides its clients with a monthly newsletter that is a pipeline to the American Collector’s Association News and Legal insights as well as the California Association of Collector magazine that provide important updates and information about the collection industry specifically for California.
©2023 Collection Bureau of America, Ltd. 29 RFP for Collection Services Collection Bureau of America is a privately held company certified as a minority-owned enterprise (MBE) through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). A copy of the certificate is included as an Attachment.

We can transmit and receive files in virtually any method the client requests, allowing the customer to work in the method with which they are most comfortable.

We will work to customize or create any reports necessary for each client instead of only using standard reporting, thus allowing a client a better, more comprehensive look at their inventory.

We take the time and effort to learn the nuances of the client portfolio to maximize recoveries and avoid using a “cookie-cutter” approach to collections.

We are licensed or hold certificates of authority in all 50 states depending on the state’s individual requirements.

CBA provides our clients with a dedicated client services team that works directly with them daily to assist them in achieving the highest recovery rate while providing worldclass customer service. Clients have access to our team via toll-free number, email, fax and through MyCBA.

MyCBA is CBA’s online client portal that the City will be provided with a login to do remote auditing. CBA can setup a training login at the City’s request. MyCBA provides access to account information, updates, reports, and data exchanges. See screenshots below of MyCBA and its capabilities our clients enjoy in reviewing, updating and access their accounts 24x7x365:

CBA works to truly partner with our clients, especially our municipal clients, and we will work to develop customized trial or pilot recovery programs that our clients may want to test but may not have the right partner to work with to execute a specific strategy or extend a program that the City has implemented and follow it all the way through to the collection process with their third party debt collection agency. As an example, since letter service was deemed illegal a few years ago, CBA works with our clients on creative and progressive new programs to supplement or replace a letter service, so our client may obtain their same results / goals while working within the constructs of collection laws.
