SUBJECT: TRANSFER AGREEMENTS WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT FOR THE SAFE, CLEAN WATER (SCW)
PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region issued a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit to all cities in Los Angeles County. The measures identified by the MS4 Permit require municipalities to reduce the level of pollutants entering the Los Angeles River. As a result of these requirements, the City, along with its partners in the Lower Los Angeles River (LLAR) Watershed Management Group (WMG), developed a Watershed Management Program (WMP) identifying potential locations for regional facilities to capture, treat, and reuse stormwater runoff.
The MS4 Permit also established deadlines for the construction of these costly regional treatment facilities. The Safe, Clean Water (SCW) Program ballot measure, passed by the voters in 2018, provides some funding through a competitive Regional Program. In 2021, the SCW Program selected Spane Park to receive $891,984 in funding for the design and planning of a regional stormwater project. Since receiving the funding, the City is actively working with a consultant on the development of the design plans.
In addition to the Regional Program that is more project specific, the SCW Program also maintains a Municipal Program that affords the opportunity for funding various stormwater programs, projects, and services. Since 2020, the City has maximized this funding opportunity that continues to allow the implementation of important measures, aimed at increasing stormwater and urban runoff capture and reducing stormwater and urban runoff pollution.
DISCUSSION
Regional Transfer Agreements
The SCW Program has selected two City projects for funding, which includes Spane Park and Progress Park.
Agenda Report September 10, 2024
APPROVAL OF TRANSFER AGREEMENTS FOR SCW PROGRAM Page 2
Progress Park: The City has been awarded $2.2 million in funding for the design and planning components of a stormwater infiltration project, similar to the one being designed for Spane Park.
Funding for construction at Progress Park would be a separate application to the SCW Program in the future, once the design is completed and construction cost estimates are available. Replacement of surface features and (future) operations and maintenance are eligible reimbursable expenses under the SCW Program.
Spane Park: The City has been awarded $9.4 million for construction of the regional stormwater project at this park. The design, which was also funded through this program is currently underway and close to being finalized.
The Transfer Agreement for each project within the Measure W Program will allow the Los Angeles County Flood Control District to disburse these funds to the City. The agreement requires that the City adhere to program implementation requirements, which include: submitting a Budget Plan, conducting outreach to the community, completing design and engineering plans, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review process, and retaining records for a specified period after project completion.
Municipal Transfer Agreement
As part of the administrative process for the municipal program, the SCW Program is requiring the renewal of the existing agreements with participating municipalities, which will remain in effect through the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2027-2028. It is anticipated that the City will receive approximately $640,000 annually for the term of the agreement. It is projected that funding will become available in December 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will allow the City to accept these funds from the SCW program to be used towards stormwater projects at Spane Park, Progress Park, and for the city’s municipal program. There is no fiscal impact at this time.
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 - Promote, protect, and enhance a healthy, sustainably built, and natural environment. 5:
Attractive and Well-Maintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.

B-19. Integration
This is an integrated Agreement. This Agreement is intended to be a full and complete statement of the terms of the agreement between the District and Municipality, and expressly supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements, covenants, representations and warranties, express or implied, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.

Municipal Program
Agreement No.2024MP58
EXHIBIT C – NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Municipalities shall consider incorporation of Nature-based solutions (NBS) into their projects. NBS refers to the sustainable management and use of nature for undertaking socio-environmental challenges, including climate change, water security, water pollution, food security, human health, and disaster risk management. As this environmental management practice is increasingly incorporated into projects for the SCW Program, this guidance document may be expanded upon to further quantify NBS practices based on benefits derived from their incorporation on projects.
The SCW Program defines NBS as a Project that utilizes natural processes that slow, detain, infiltrate or filter Stormwater or Urban Runoff. These methods may include relying predominantly on soils and vegetation; increasing the permeability of Impermeable Areas; protecting undeveloped mountains and floodplains; creating and restoring riparian habitat and wetlands; creating rain gardens, bioswales, and parkway basins; enhancing soil through composting, mulching; and, planting trees and vegetation, with preference for native species. NBS may also be designed to provide additional benefits such as sequestering carbon, supporting biodiversity, providing shade, creating and enhancing parks and open space, and improving quality of life for surrounding communities. NBS include Projects that mimic natural processes, such as green streets, spreading grounds and planted areas with water storage capacity. NBS may capture stormwater to improve water quality, collect water for reuse or aquifer recharge, or to support vegetation growth utilizing natural processes.
Municipalities are to include in eachAnnual Progress/Expenditure Report whether and how their project achieves a good, better, or best for each of the 6 NBS methods in accordance with the guidance below. Additionally, Annual Progress/ Expenditure Reports should include discussion on any considerations taken to maximize the class within each method. If at least 3 methods score within a single class, the overall project can be characterized as that class.
Municipalities must attach a copy of the matrix for each project with the good, better, or best column indicated for each method, to facilitate District tracking of methods being utilized.

Date: September 10, 2024
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS TRAFFIC
SIGNAL, STREET NAME, AND HIGHWAY LIGHTING MAINTENANCE
AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT
BACKGROUND
Since 1995, the City of Santa Fe Springs has maintained the City’s traffic signals, street name signs, and highway safety lighting. This arrangement between the cities of Santa Fe Springs and Paramount is outlined in an Agreement and subsequent amendments.
This arrangement was made as a cost savings measure when maintenance of the City’s traffic signals, signs and safety lighting was originally maintained by Los Angeles County.
DISCUSSION
The city recently installed a new traffic signal at Alondra Boulevard and Passage Avenue.
As such, the agreement with Santa Fe Springs needs to be amended to include this additional traffic signal location as part of its maintenance schedule. Additionally, the maintenance rates are being adjusted as follows:
Old Monthly Rate New Monthly Rate
$70 per signal $ 75 per signal
$35 per flasher or equivalent devices $ 40 per flasher or equivalent devices The city currently has approximately 54 signals and 23 flashers or equivalent devices that are included in the maintenance agreement. The new annual cost will be $59,640.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding was included in the FY 2024-25 Public Works Road Maintenance budget. With the new monthly rates, however, an appropriation of $4,650 in General Funds is needed to cover the increased annual maintenance cost.
Agenda Report September 10, 2024

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Grissel Chavez, Assistant City Manager
Date: September 10, 2024
SUBJECT: COUNCIL CHAMBER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT – NEW FIXED
SEATING, WORKSTATION, AND FLOORING
BACKGROUND
Included in the Fiscal Year 2025 Adopted Budget is $300,000 to replace the audience seating, the flooring, and the Audio/Visual Workstation in the City Hall Council Chamber.
The replacement of furnishings and flooring is long overdue as these fixtures have become worn and deteriorated. The goal of the Council Chamber Improvement project is to enhance the long-term viability of the public meeting area so it may continue serving the public for many years. To advance this project, staff recommends approval of agreements with Sierra School Equipment Company (Sierra) and Mohawk Commercial, Incorporated (Mohawk) for the purchase and installation of new audience seating, workstation and flooring, in a combined amount not-to-exceed $135,597 (plus contingency).
DISCUSSION
Staff has obtained costs from Sierra for the replacement of the existing seventy-seven (77) fixed audience seats for $72,653 and one (1) staff workstation for $16,237, for a total amount of $88,890. The new furnishings will consist of eighty-eight (88) new fixed seats (including the required ADA spaces) and one (1) new workstation, with finishes as shown in the attached renderings. The new audience seating will have maple wood armrests with a blueish/grayish fabric panel. The new workstation will remain in the rear section but will be moved to the opposite corner. It will be larger in size to provide ample room for both staff and the translator personnel. The unit will contain walnut laminate panels with light beige colored fabric walls.
Staff has also obtained costs from Mohawk for the replacement of the existing carpet flooring throughout the entire Chamber, including the back conference room, and adjacent walkway/entrance areas, in the amount of $46,707. The new carpet for the front dais area, conference room, and adjacent walkway is similar to the existing deep navyblue carpet. The new carpet selection for the public seating area and entrance landing will have contrasting grayish tones with various line patterns, somewhat similar to the downstairs conference room carpeting.
Agenda Report September 10, 2024
COUNCIL CHAMBER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Page 2
There are no other changes planned for the interior of the Council Chamber at this time.
The City's professional interior designer recommended the selected color and finish schemes to have rich, warm contrast that is not too bold. These finishes will also be compatible with a potential future City Hall lobby redesign. Subject to City Council approval of the proposed contracts, staff would place an order for the new furniture and flooring. Due to manufacturer lead times, staff anticipates a 3-month timeframe for delivery. Staff anticipates the new furniture and flooring installation would be completed by end of January 2025.
Compliance with Purchasing Policy
Under Section 3.20.070 of the Paramount Municipal Code, the City's purchasing policy allows for exemption from bidding as follows:
3.12.070. Exemption from bidding upon determination of Purchasing Officer or City Council.
The bidding requirements set forth in Sections 3.12.050 and 3.12.060 may be waived, at the discretion of the Purchasing Officer, when any of the following is applicable:
D. Supplies or equipment are procured through a cooperative purchasing program with Federal, State, County or other public agencies.
Sierra School Equipment
On October 17, 2023, Sierra was awarded a contract by the Arvin Union School District for School Furnishings, Office Furnishings, and Accessories. This award was a result of the School District’s bid process through Bid No. 2023-24-012 (issued September 13, 2023) for School Furnishings, Office Furnishings, and Accessories. The bid and contract documentation includes a piggyback clause, allowing other school districts and any public agency, including any city in California, to purchase, lease-purchase, or rent the identical item(s) at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions pursuant to sections 201 18 (K-12) and 20652 (Community Colleges) of the Public Contract Code.
Pricing for the new furnishings is based on the current Arvin Union School District contract pricing structure. The proposed contract with Sierra through piggybacking off the Arvin Union School District contract satisfies the City’s purchasing ordinance requirements.
Mohawk
On June 5, 2024, Mohawk Commercial, Inc. was awarded a contract under the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS 4-24-06-1007) by the California Department of General Services for the purchase, warranty, removal, disposal, preparation, and installation of Agenda Report September 10, 2024
COUNCIL CHAMBER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Page 3
hard- and soft-surface commercial flooring, and furniture moving services. Public Contract Code (PCC) 10298 allows any city, county, district or other local governmental body to contract with suppliers awarded CMAS contracts without further competitive bidding.
Pricing for the new flooring is based on the current CMAS contract pricing structure. The proposed contract with Mohawk through piggybacking off the State CMAS contract satisfies the City’s purchasing ordinance requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the proposed furnishing and flooring improvement is $135,597 (plus added contingency of $13,559), for a total not to exceed amount of $149,156. The FY 2024-25 Council Chamber Improvement Project (City Project No. 9479) budget includes an appropriation of $300,000, consisting of $150,000 of PEG (Public, Educational, Governmental) franchise fees and $150,000 in ERF (Equipment Replacement) funds. A portion of the remaining balance will be used for electrical rewiring due to the workstation move and for needed Chamber audio visual equipment replacement and enhancements, such as the addition of a new microphone at the rear workstation.
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 5: Attractive and WellMaintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.

Award a contract to Sierra School Equipment for new fixed seating and a new workstation in the City Council Chamber, in the amount of $88,890; authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney; and authorize the City Manager to utilize a project contingency of up to 10% in the event of unforeseen conditions.

7. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT WITHOUT CAUSE (a) The City may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend or terminate this Agreement, or any portion hereof, by serving upon the Vendor at least thirty (30) days prior written notices. Upon receipt of said notice, the Vendor shall immediately cease all work under this Agreement, unless the notice provides otherwise. If the City suspends or terminates a portion of this 3 Rev. 07/18/2023

Upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Section, the Vendor will submit an invoice to the City pursuant to Section 5.
8. DEFAULT OF VENDOR
(a) The Vendor's failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that Vendor is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Vendor for any work performed after the date of default and can terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Vendor. If such failure by the Vendor to make progress in the performance of work hereunder arises out of causes beyond the Vendor's control, and without fault or negligence of the Vendor, it shall not be considered a default. (b) If the City determines that the Vendor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, City shall cause to be served upon the Vendor a written notice of the default. The Vendor shall have ten (10) days after service upon it of said notice in which to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance. In the event that the Vendor fails to cure its default within such period of time, the City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Vendor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, and its officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the Vendor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the operations conducted by Vendor, including the City’s active or passive negligence, except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City. In the event the City indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from Vendor’s performance of this Agreement, the Vendor shall provide a defense to the City indemnitees or at the City’s option, reimburse the City indemnities their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.
Payment by City is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity. In the event of any dispute between Vendor and City, as to whether liability arises from the sole negligence of the City or its officers, employees, or agents, Vendor will be obligated to pay for City’s defense until such time as a final judgment has 4 Rev. 07/18/2023
been entered adjudicating the City as solely negligent. Vendor will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation.
10. NON-LIABILITY OF City OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
No officer or employee of City will be personally liable to Vendor, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount that may become due to Vendor.

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 Vendor or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Vendor 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.

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 Vendor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Vendor hereby waives its own right of recovery against City and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its sub-vendors.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Vendor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Vendor 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 6 Rev. 07/18/2023
type. If the Vendor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Vendor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Notice of cancellation. Vendor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to 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.
Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability 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 Vendor’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. Vendor agrees to ensure that its sub-vendors, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Vendor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Vendor. Vendor 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. Vendor agrees that upon request, all Agreements with Vendors, sub-vendors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
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. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
Timely notice of claims. Vendor shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Vendor’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. Vendor 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. 7 Rev. 07/18/2023

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH GATEWAY CITIES COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
FOR THE ALONDRA BOULEVARD COMPLETE STREET STUDY
BACKGROUND
On March 6, 2024, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG) Board of Directors approved the Implementation Agreement for the Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study. Alondra Boulevard is a high-priority, high-quality transit arterial within the Gateway COG region. The project crosses through the cities of La Mirada, Santa Fe Springs, Cerritos, Norwalk, Bellflower, Paramount, Compton, and unincorporated County of Los Angeles. This plan puts the corridor in line for construction funding opportunities that individual cities or a consortium of cities along the corridor could pursue in the future.
DISCUSSION
The Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study is the seventh arterial Complete Streets corridor study being advanced under the COG’s transportation program. The estimated cost of the study, which is expected to take one and a half years to complete, is $229,200.
The study will be partially funded by each participating agency under a formula based on the linear miles of the Alondra Boulevard street frontage. The COG coordinated with Metro to provide a grant totaling $163,414 for this effort. Each participating agency will need to sign an Implementation Agreement with the COG to fully fund the project, which includes a 29% match totaling $67,786 for all cities and County combined. Based on the linear miles formula, the City of Paramount’s portion would be $10,311.35.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study was not included in the FY2024-25 Budget, therefore, an appropriation of $10,350 will be needed utilizing Prop C funds.
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 5: Attractive and Well- Agenda Report September 10, 2024
ALONDRA BOULEVARD STUDY IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT Page 2 Maintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Appropriate $10,350 from the City’s Prop C funding allocation; and 2) Authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the Implementation Agreement with Gateway Cities Council of Governments for the Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study.

(c) The City, along with other agencies through which the Alondra Boulevard Corridor (“Corridor”) runs, is desirous of establishing a “Complete Streets” study for a subregional arterial corridor plan for this major Corridor to relieve traffic congestion and to enhance active transportation opportunities in the neighboring communities, and for GCCOG to coordinate and implement such a study (“Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study” or the “Study”). (d) The development of the Study would position the participating agencies to apply for, and receive, federal, state, and regional funding for improvement of the Corridor.
(e) Section 21 of Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, to which the City is a signatory, provides that when authorized by the Board of Directors, affected Members may execute an implementation agreement for the purpose of authorizing GCCOG to implement, manage and administer area-wide and regional programs in the interest of the local public welfare, and that the costs incurred by such program, including indirect costs, shall be assessed only to those members who are parties to an implementation agreement.
Section 2. Implementation of Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study. To the fullest extent of its authority, the City authorizes GCCOG to implement and initiate the Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study, including any initial feasibility studies required to coordinate with other transportation studies. Further, the City authorizes GCCOG to request funding from and to partner with other public agencies for the Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study (including, but not limited to, Caltrans, SCAG, and Metro).
Section 3. Scope of Work. The Scope of Work to be performed for the Study under this Agreement is described in Attachment A attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.
Section 4. Assessment for Proportional Costs of Study. The City agrees to pay to GCCOG upon execution of this Agreement an assessment in the amount set forth in Attachment A for City’s proportional share of the projected costs of the Study.
Section 5. Committees.
(a) Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study Committee. There is hereby established a committee to be known as the Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study Committee. The Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study Committee shall consist of an elected member of the legislative body of each agency that has entered into a Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study Implementation Agreement with GCCOG, designated by the respective legislative bodies. The Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study Committee will work in coordination with the Alondra Boulevard Complete Street Study Technical Advisory Committee to provide policy assistance, guidance, and direction to GCCOG regarding the Study.

Each Party certifies that it has adequate self-insured retention of funds to meet any obligation arising from this Agreement, and it shall continue to maintain such funds throughout the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require any Party to defend and indemnify the other Party from any Claim arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party. Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing an award of attorney fees in any action on or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. This obligation shall apply to all Claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. Any policy limits shall not act as a limitation upon the amount of defense or indemnification to be provided. (b) At its sole discretion, the Indemnified Party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any claim, action or proceeding, but such participation shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation imposed by this Agreement. The Parties shall notify each other promptly of any claim, action or proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense. The Parties agree to defend themselves from any claim, action or proceeding arising out of the concurrent acts or omissions of each Party. In such cases, the Parties agree to retain their own legal counsel, bear their own defense costs, and waive their right to seek reimbursement of such costs. Where a trial verdict or arbitration award allocates or determines the comparative fault of the Parties, the Parties may seek reimbursement and/or reallocation of defense costs, settlement payments, judgments and awards, consistent with such comparative fault.

SUBJECT: PARADE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY CHURCH – OCTOBER 5, 2024
BACKGROUND
Our Lady of the Rosary Church has submitted a parade permit application for a procession to be held on Saturday, October 5, 2024. The event will consist of approximately 1,000 participants, including a musical band and individuals holding banners, paying homage to Our Lady of the Rosary as they walk through the streets of Paramount.
To ensure the safety of the parade participants, eight private motorcade units will be required to be contracted by the hosting organization and the City will provide 12 Public Safety Officers (Community Service Officers and Code Enforcement Officers) along with a supervisor to oversee the operations. The City will also require Our Lady of the Rosary Church to acquire liability insurance and make the City of Paramount, its officials, employees, and agents additionally insured parties.
DISCUSSION
Parade participants will assemble at Paramount City Hall (16400 Colorado Avenue) before departing westbound on Jackson Avenue. The parade will then turn northbound on Vermont Avenue, eastbound on Madison Street, northbound on Colorado Avenue, eastbound on Somerset Boulevard, and northbound through the Paramount Substation parking lot, where it will conclude at the north end of the business park. Participants will then walk on the sidewalk on Paramount Boulevard to enter Our Lady of the Rosary Church. Please refer to the parade map (Attachment A) and a copy of the application (Attachment B).
The Public Safety Commission recommended approval of the parade permit at the regular Public Safety Commission meeting on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, with the understanding that Our Lady of the Rosary Church will reimburse the City for the cost of City officers to work the event.

SUBJECT: APPROVING ZONE CHANGE NO. 244, A REQUEST BY PARAMOUNT GATEWAY, LLC TO REPLACE ORDINANCE NO. 560/ZONE CHANGE
NO. 92 TO CHANGE THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP FROM PD-PS
(PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH PERFORMANCE
STANDARDS)/LUMBER YARD AND HARDWARE STORE TO PDPS/COMMERCIAL TO ALLOW A SUPERMARKET AND THREE RESTAURANTS AT 15101 PARAMOUNT BOULEVARD
BACKGROUND
This item is a request from Paramount Gateway, LLC for a zone change for a commercial redevelopment project at the former Lindsay Lumber site. The 3.3-acre location is at 15101 Paramount Boulevard (southwest corner of Paramount Boulevard and Somerset Boulevard) in the PD-PS (Planned Development with Performance Standards) zone.
Lindsay Lumber is a legacy business in Paramount. Operating in Paramount since 1921, the business relocated to the subject location in the early 1980s as a hardware store and lumber yard. Due to changing market conditions, the Lindsay family sold the property in early 2023 to the applicant. Lindsay Lumber has ceased operations and is in the process of relocating to Chino Hills.
Located at the geographic heart of Paramount and at the crossroads of the Central Business District and the Clearwater Specific Plan area (which includes the Paramount Swap Meet), the property has attracted much attention from a range of interests and possible businesses. The City has worked with the seller and potential buyers, including the applicant, to ensure a mix of commercial businesses that would positively benefit the City community.
Complementary to City Council review of Ordinance No. 1189/Zone Change No. 244, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 939 on August 7, 2024. The CUP allows the operation of two restaurants, each with a drive-thru and indoor and outdoor seating, and a third restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. (As with our traditional commercial zones (C-3, C-M), a “supermarket” is already listed in this zone as a permitted use. That is why Sprouts Market, the anchor tenant for the site, does not need an approved CUP for grocery use. However, Sprouts will need a CUP in the future for the sale of alcoholic beverages.) Also on August 7, 2024, the Development Review Board Agenda Report September 10, 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 1189 Page 2
approved Development Review Application No. 23:008 regarding the design of the proposed buildings and site. On September 4, 2024, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 084335 regarding the subdivision of the site into three properties.

DISCUSSION
Plans
Plans are included for reference. The following is the proposed site plan:
Agenda Report September 10, 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 1189 Page 4
The following are proposed building elevations:
Proposed Zone Change
In 1987, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 560, approving Zone Change No. 92.
This approval changed the zone at the subject site from C-M (Commercial Manufacturing) and M-1 (Light Manufacturing) to PD-PS. The existing PD-PS zone regulations are attached.
Zone changes are processed in compliance with State law and Chapter 17.52 of the Paramount Municipal Code. On August 7, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council.
While the PD-PS zone designation would remain the same, the applicant is requesting the existing wholesale and retail hardware store and lumber mill uses in the zone be replaced with specific commercial uses.
Agenda Report September 10, 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 1189 Page 5
The proposed zone change primarily replaces the existing uses with the following as possible uses:
• Alcoholic beverage sales for consumption off-premises – with Conditional Use Permit
• Any establishment offering alcoholic beverages for sale for consumption on the premises – with Conditional Use Permit
• Automated teller machines (ATMs) accessible from the interior or exterior of a specialty food store or supermarket
• Drive-thru establishments of any kind – with Conditional Use Permit • Exterior display of merchandise of any kind other than as a special event sale or grand opening – with Conditional Use Permit
• Freestanding automated teller machines (ATMs) – with Conditional Use Permit • Restaurants (walk-in), bakeries with customer seating, coffee shops, quick serve food uses, fast casual food uses, take-out food service, or other such retail food establishments – with Conditional Use Permit
• Retail kiosks (permanent and temporary) – with Conditional Use Permit • Specialty food store
• Supermarket
Other proposed changes include incorporating regulations that have been adopted for traditional commercial zones in recent years. Examples include drought tolerant landscaping requirements, the prohibition of window security bars and other specific window coverings, the prohibition of razor wire and barbed wire, and clarifying that housing is not a permitted use.
Sustainability
In compliance with the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), adopted by the City Council in 2021, the project has been designed to incorporate energy reducing and sustainability features.
The project will include rooftop solar on all buildings and will provide battery storage for solar generation. The solar panels will target capacity to address 60% of each building’s load. Batteries will have a minimum capacity of 5 kWh for each building. The project will provide four parking stalls with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and two stalls that will be EV charging-capable for the future, including truck charging.
The project also provides multiple benefits for pedestrians and bicyclists, including bike racks and/or lockers at every building. In terms of land use and community design, the project brings neighborhood commercial uses into the area, within a mile or less of existing residential neighborhoods. The project will include low-water using fixtures, and drip irrigation for all landscaping except trees. Regarding waste reduction and recycling, the project will recycle or salvage 65% of all construction waste. In addition, the project Agenda Report September 10, 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 1189 Page 6
will include operational waste diversion components, including grease separation, mixed and food waste recycling storage at the grocery store, and recycling bins in the trash enclosures at each building.
Environmental Analysis
Terra Nova Planning & Research, Inc. prepared an Initial Study in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines to determine whether the project would have a significant impact on the environment. The Initial Study determined that with mitigation, the project would not result in any significant impacts on the environment, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is recommended for this project. The environmental analysis looked at areas such as aesthetics, noise, cultural resources, tribal cultural resources, air quality, and transportation and traffic.
Mitigation measures related to geology and soils and tribal cultural resources are included in the MND. The applicant will be required to adhere to the recommendations set forth in the project-specific geotechnical investigation. The applicant will also be required to retain a Native American Monitor before starting ground-disturbing activities, and a process is required for the unanticipated discovery of (1) tribal cultural resource objects (nonfunerary/non-ceremonial) and (2) human remains and associated funerary or ceremonial objects. The report is attached.
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 City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit; No. 3: Economic Health - Support a healthy, sustainable economy reflecting community values; and No. 4:
Environmental Health - Promote, protect, and enhance a healthy, sustainably built, and natural environment.
