Paramount Resident
Concerned about the
number of disabled person

Commenter Request/Issue/Concern Action/Comment
Residents from
Elijah Mobile Park
(continued)
Staff recently met with the property
owner of the Elijah Park mobile
home park. The owner advised
they have plans to make
improvements on the property that
includes installation of new mobile
home units. Their attorney has
been reviewing all documentation
that is sent to their tenants.

Lauren Yokomizo,
LA County
Supervisor Janice
Hahn’s Field Rep
Delivering a message to the
City Council from Supervisor
Hahn encouraging the City
to adopt a mobile home rent
stabilization ordinance.

The issue is not solely based on
rental rates. As such, the City is
referring residents of the Elijah
Mobilehome Park to the proper
agencies to assist them. This is a
more targeted approach. Many
other factors are involved in this
civil dispute that require legal
attention. The City is not able to
involve itself in civil matters.

Residents from
Town Center
Terrace (Waldy
Vargas & Alber
Toma)
Requested help from the city
for rent increases and lack of
security in a senior building.

Staff spoke with Miss Vargas
following the meeting. Staff was
unable to contact Mr. Toma due to
not having his contact information.

Staff informed Miss Vargas that
the reported issues with property
management appear to be of a
civil matter. She was provided the
contact information for the Fair
Housing Foundation.

Mike Radis,
Paramount Resident
Submitted email requesting
the City Manager and staff
enforce the municipal code
regarding an illegal
hazardous waste facility
operating on Vermont
Avenue.

The agreement for the

process for the subject business is

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.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Grissel Chavez, Assistant City Manager
Andres Gonzalez, Management Analyst
Date: October 8, 2024
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT WITH VIDIFLO, LLC FOR

AUDIO-VISUAL MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES

BACKGROUND
Since 2018, the City has been using Vidiflo, LLC of Long Beach, CA as the audio visual (AV) maintenance and support services provider. Most recently, on July 25, 2023, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Vidiflo for continued audiovisual maintenance and support services for a three-year term with the option to extend for two additional one-year terms. The initial amount was not to exceed $28,536 in the first year, with CPI rate increases for the following years. Vidiflo’s service to the City helps ensure that its AV systems are well maintained to ensure proper operation during events and meetings at various facilities.

DISCUSSION
The City’s AV equipment serving the Council Chamber has an existing component that is in need of replacement as it has reached its end of life and could fail without notice. This component operates as a software and video server which is necessary to automate, and schedule live and pre-recorded meeting videos. A new Cablecast Omni server unit costs $28,506, including installation and annual multi-year subscription costs for system/equipment support and closed captioning services. Additionally, staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to approve additional compensation up to $22,000 throughout the duration of the agreement, as needed in the event of other unforeseen equipment failure, or to supplement existing equipment and services to ensure proper operation of the City’s AV system.

The proposed purchase and authorization for additional compensation requires City Council approval of the attached amendment to the existing agreement. If approved by City Council, staff would work with the vendor to secure the unit and complete installation by December 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2024-25 Administrative Services IT support budget includes an appropriation of $40,000 for audio visual support and maintenance support services. An additional Agenda Report October 8, 2024
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT WITH VIDIFLO LLC Page 2
appropriation of $25,000 is needed to fund the new server purchase along with unexpected equipment/support needs through this fiscal year. This additional funding could come from the ERF (Equipment Replacement) fund.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Appropriate an additional $25,000 in ERF funding to cover the increased cost in FY 2024-25 for the new Cablecast server unit and unanticipated equipment/support needs; and 2) Approve Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Vidiflo for the increased scope and compensation associated with the purchase and installation of the new Cablecast server unit and unanticipated equipment/system needs up to $22,000. 51436209006266.00001

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR AUDIO-VISUAL MAINTENANCE &

RECITALS

Additionally, Consultant shall replace the existing video and live streaming server equipment, with an updated Cablecast system, for an additional cost of $28,506; as shown in Exhibit A. Consultant shall also complete additional services throughout the remaining term of this Agreement, as requested by the City for unforeseen equipment failure or to supplement existing AV services, for an additional amount not to exceed $22,000.

Throughout the remaining term of this Agreement, the City Manager is authorized to approve additional compensation not to exceed $22,000, as needed in the event of unforeseen equipment failure, or to supplement existing services. (B) Full Force and Effect. Except as herein modified, all other provisions of the AGREEMENT dated August 8, 2023, shall remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect.
51436209006266.00001
(C) Counterparts. This AMENDMENT may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.

A facsimile signature shall be deemed an original signature.

The City Council approves the position classification listings and salary ranges for City employees during each Fiscal Year budget adoption. From time to time, modifications to position classifications and specifications are needed to ensure effective and efficient business operations. Pursuant to the Paramount Municipal Code, the City Manager has the authority to make personnel changes in their capacity as the City’s Personnel Officer.

However, modifications that impact the City’s Budget (i.e. compensation, Authorized Position Listing) must be approved by the City Council. Staff requests City Council amend the FY 2024-25 Authorized Position Listing for Full-Time employees to include the addition of one full-time Building Permit Technician and elimination of one full-time Office Assistant II in the Planning Department. The classification for the Building Permit Technician position already exists in the City’s personnel system. However, it had not been included in the City’s full-time position listing in recent years due to the City formerly contracting for building permit technician services.

DISCUSSION
The Building and Safety Division of the Planning Department is currently staffed with one City part-time Building Permit Technician and one contract full-time Building Permit Technician through Scott Fazekas and Associates. The Department desires to eliminate the existing contract full-time Building Permit Technician position and reinstate the City’s full-time Building Permit Technician position. Additionally, the Department proposes to replace the existing full-time Office Assistant II position (currently vacant) with two new part-time Office Assistant I positions. This change to staffing would result in no change to the number of full-time employees in the Planning Department.

Bringing the full-time Building Permit Technician position from contract to in-house will enhance customer service to the public and provide greater department supervision. A continuing increase in demand to accommodate complex projects (such as World Energy) and to keep up with processes such as online permit processing, online plan check submittal, extensive document scanning, permit reporting, and online record retention in a timely manner have resulted in this need for additional dedicated in-house personnel.

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
RESOLUTION NO. 24:036 Page 2
The change will also reduce costs in FY 2024-25 by approximately $65,000 as described below. Authorizing one full-time Building Permit Technician coupled with the additional part-time staff support would greatly improve the Planning Department’s efficiency. If approved, the new classification of Building Permit Technician would be added to the FY 2024-25 authorized position listing for full-time employees, as attached.

FISCAL IMPACT
As shown in the below chart, the annual salary and benefits cost for the new Building Permit Technician is $110,500. The salary cost for the two new part-time Office Assistant Positions is approximately $48,250. The total cost for these new positions is approximately $158,750. To offset this increased cost, the Planning Department would eliminate the full-time Office Assistant II ($101,350) and eliminate the contract Building Permit position ($130,400), for a combined total cost reduction of $231,750. This reduction would cover the increase in salary cost associated with the new positions and result in FY 2024-25 budget savings of approximately $73,000. If approved, no additional budget is needed for FY 2024-25 due to these savings.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH CRAFTWATER ENGINEERING, INC. FOR SPANE PARK STORMWATER CAPTURE
PROJECT (CITY PROJECT NO. 9295)

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.

The Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group previously funded a concept/feasibility study that was completed by Craftwater Engineering, which found that an approximate 3.5-acre stormwater storage vault would be an optimum design for an infiltration project to be constructed under Spane Park. With this project, stormwater would be intercepted from the existing storm drain under Rosecrans Avenue.

In December of 2021, the City Council approved a transfer agreement with the Los Angeles County Safe, Clean Water (SCW) Program to receive $891,984 in funding for the design and planning of a regional stormwater project at Spane Park. The SCW Program funding for Spane Park comes from its regional program allocation and is only for planning and design.

In February 2022, the City Council approved the agreement with Craftwater Engineering, for the development of the Spane Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project design.

After reviewing the initially proposed design, staff requested that the Craftwater team change the type of restroom facility that was originally proposed, as the initial design included a prefabricated building rather than new construction. As a result, City Council approved Amendment No.1 in September 2022.

DISCUSSION
With design well underway, the development has identified the need for the replacement of site facilities not originally anticipated to be affected. This component refers to the existing pond and stream and the need to reconstruct them in its entirety. This was determined to be the most feasible option due to the unknown conditions of the existing Agenda Report October 8, 2024
AMENDMENT NO. 2 – CRAFTWATER ENGINEERING, INC. Page 2
pond that is over 40 years old, that can only be uncovered once the project construction is underway. As a result of the age of the pond, the costs associated with the necessary changes to retrofit, will likely exceed the cost of reconstruction.

Amendment No. 2 to Craftwater’s contract in the amount of $79,749 is necessary given the need to incorporate the design of a new pond and stream that will replace the existing one. It should be noted that the new pond and stream will operate in line with the proposed stormwater capture and treatment system.

FISCAL IMPACT
This amendment was not included in the FY 2024-2025 budget, therefore an appropriation in the amount of $79,750 is needed utilizing annual municipal Measure W 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 WellMaintained 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 $79,750 from Measure W funds for the added design services; and 2) Approve Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Craftwater Engineering for design services to integrate the pond design into the overall project design that will include civil, landscape, and electrical design, for Spane Park Stormwater Capture Project (City Project No. 9295), in the amount of $79,749 and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the agreement.

Subject: Change Order Proposal for Modification to Existing Contract for the Design of a new pond and stream as part of the Spane Park Stormwater Capture Project Dear Ms. Figueroa:

Craftwater Engineering appreciates the opportunity to submit the enclosed Fee Proposal (Scope of Work and Cost Proposal) to provide consulting services to further develop the Spane Park Stormwater Capture Project.

The development of the project to the 60% level has identified the need for the replacement of site facilities not originally anticipated to be affected. Through discussion with the City of Paramount the need to remove the existing pond and stream and construct a new one has been identified. The new pond and stream will operate with the proposed stormwater capture and treatment system proposed on the west side of the site. Specialized pond designers are needed to develop the design for the pond improvements and as such Craftwater has added Aquatic Design Group as a new subconsultant to the team. This Change Order proposal is to provide the necessary design services for the development of construction drawings for the new pond and stream.

Additional efforts are required by existing design team members to integrate the pond design into the overall site design. This includes civil, landscape, and electrical designs.

It is anticipated that the new pond drawings and specifications will be added and integrated into the current drawing set being prepared for the stormwater capture design 90% deliverable. The following is our proposed scope of work as it relates to full design of the pond and stream.

Scope of Work
Task 1. Project Coordination, Administration, and Initial Programming This scope includes the increase in coordination and administration efforts currently being completed under the original contract.

Additionally, the Craftwater team will attend meetings with the City to document specific instructions to address the facility requirements, verify space relationships, and confirm general aesthetics. Craftwater will also be available for as-needed design coordination calls with the design team or other project stakeholders. This task assumes two (2) meetings will be required and that these meetings will be held virtually. Aside from these two meetings held specifically to discuss the pond design, it is assumed that additional coordination for development of the construction documents will take place at the regularly scheduled project progress meetings.

Ms. Figueroa
August 6, 2024

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS FOR

ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE WEST PARAMOUNT
UTILITY EASEMENT MULTI-USE PATH – PHASE 1 (CITY PROJECT NO. 9532)

BACKGROUND
On September 10, 2024, City Council awarded a contract for engineering design services related to the West Paramount Utility Easement Multi-Use Path – Phase 1 to Psomas, Los Angeles, CA in the amount of $749,487. However, the correct contract amount should have been $774,487, which included tasks related to environmental review, engineering design, and the preparation of necessary right-of-way permits with Southern California Edison (SCE).

Staff is recommending the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 for an additional $25,000 to cover all components and a revised amount not to exceed $774,487, to reflect the correct contract total. This design services contract is related to a pathway that will connect to the proposed West Santa Ana Branch Bikeway Trail north of Rosecrans Avenue and extend south to Salud Park at Somerset Boulevard, along the SCE right-ofway.

DISCUSSION
On July 11, 2024, the City published in the Paramount Journal and on the City’s website a Request for Proposals for engineering design services related to this project. On August 15, 2024, the Director of Public Works opened and examined the bids. One bid was received and deemed responsive and responsible. The selection of the consultant was completed via the Request for Proposal process. The Psomas proposal included all necessary tasks and related costs. However, the amount listed on the award of contract agenda report dated September 10, 2024 was incorrect. Amendment No. 1 includes the additional $25,000 needed and a total not to exceed amount of $774,487 will align the contract with the tasks and cost as listed in the Psomas proposal.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City. Funding in the amount of $775,000 was included in the FY 2024-25 budget utilizing Active Transportation Program funds to cover engineering Agenda Report October 8, 2024
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS (CIP 9352) Page 2 design services. Additionally, the City Council had previously approved an additional $50,000 in Measure R funds to cover any contingency costs in design services.

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.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Psomas, Los Angeles, CA for the West Paramount Utility Easement Multi-Use Path – Phase 1 for an additional $25,000 for a revised not to exceed total amount of $774,487 and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the amendment.

SUBJECT: LETTER OF NON-OBJECTION FOR WEST SANTA ANA BRANCH

PHASE II PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE PATH PROJECT WITHIN LADWP
RIGHT-OF-WAY – PARAMOUNT PARK

BACKGROUND
For several years, the City has been in the planning phase to construct the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Bikeway Class I bicycle and pedestrian trail along the railroad rightof-way that runs diagonally across the City. This project is being planned in phases, allowing the City to acquire appropriate funding from different sources and negotiate various lease agreements to complete the approximate 2.3-mile trail that will connect users from the Los Angeles River to the San Gabriel River through the cities of Paramount and Bellflower.

Phase I of this project that runs from Lakewood Boulevard to Somerset Boulevard has already been constructed. Phase II will be from Somerset Boulevard to Rosecrans Avenue, Phase III will be from Rosecrans Avenue to Garfield Avenue, and Phase IV will run from Garfield Avenue to the Los Angeles River. In addition to the trail, each phase offers bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements including fencing, energy efficient LED pedestrian lighting, landscaping, decomposed granite, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps, at-grade pedestrian/cyclist railroad crossing, and street furniture for trail users. This project will continue to improve mobility and connectivity through the City by expanding recreational opportunities for community members.

DISCUSSION
Phase II of the WSAB trail requires both, a Letter of Non-Objection for the Paramount Park area and a license agreement for the rest of the segments with the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) as they are the owners of the rightof-way property on which the bikeway trail would be constructed. Following months of discussions with LADWP staff, City staff and the City’s contract engineer, LADWP provided a Letter of Non-Objection to the City for the Paramount Park area to begin construction of the WSAB Phase II project on this segment.

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH LADWP FOR WSAB BIKEWAY Page 2
The Letter of Non-Objection highlights specific conditions that the City must follow to not interfere with existing LADWP operations. The letter will allow the City to begin construction of Phase II of the WASB along Paramount Park, while discussions continue to occur between LADWP and City for the proposed construction of the remaining segments on the LADWP right-of-way. Although the City Manager has already executed the Letter of Non-Objection and returned it to LADWP so that construction coordination efforts can progress, the LADWP still requires the Paramount City Council to ratify the City Manager’s action of executing the Letter of Non-Objection.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact related to the City’s execution of LADWP’s Letter of NonObjection.

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.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Ratify the City Manager’s execution of the Letter of Non-Objection between the City of Paramount and the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for the West Santa Ana Bikeway Phase II Pedestrian and Bike Path Project segment located at Paramount Park.

Date: October 8, 2024
SUBJECT: NEIGHBORHOOD PERMIT PARKING REQUEST FOR THE
14900 BLOCK OF CALLE LAS BRISAS

BACKGROUND
On October 6, 2020, the City Council voted to adopt Resolution No. 20:029, which amended the existing procedures for establishing Neighborhood Permit Parking in the City. Resolution No. 20:029 provides both staff-initiated and resident-initiated requests for Neighborhood Permit Parking.

In March 2024, the Public Safety Department received a Neighborhood Permit Parking application and petition from residents on the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas. The petition included signatures from residents supporting the implementation of Neighborhood Permit Parking.

In accordance with Resolution No. 20:029, the Public Safety Department conducted a parking study in the proposed neighborhood from May 13, 2024, to June 13, 2024, to assess the parking challenges and determine if permit parking is justified. Resolution No. 20:029 allows for the establishment of Neighborhood Permit Parking if parking challenges are due to non-resident vehicles and if 75 percent or more of the property owners vote in favor of the program.

DISCUSSION
The parking study results indicated that the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas experiences significant parking congestion due to vehicles registered outside the proposed neighborhood. During the study period, Public Safety staff conducted regular patrols, monitoring vehicle registrations and parking violations. The findings showed that many vehicles belong to non-residents, contributing to parking challenges residents face.

Following the parking study, a voter survey was distributed to property owners on the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas. The results showed that more than 85 percent of the property owners voted in favor of implementing Neighborhood Permit Parking.

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
PERMIT PARKING REQUEST FOR 14900 BLK OF CALLE LAS BRISAS Page 2 In accordance with the guidelines set forth in Resolution No. 20:029, more than 75 percent of the property owners voted in favor of Neighborhood Permit Parking. On September 17, 2024, the proposal moved to the Public Safety Commission phase for review. The Public Safety Commission recommended that the request move to the last phase of the process, which is for the City Council to approve or deny Neighborhood Permit Parking on the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas.

ANALYSIS
The criteria established by Resolution No. 20:029 have been met for the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas. The proposed neighborhood submitted a signature petition to establish Neighborhood Permit Parking. The Public Safety Department conducted a month-long parking study that indicated many vehicles parked are non-residents. A voter survey was sent to the property owners, and more than 75 percent expressed support for Neighborhood Permit Parking. The item was taken to the Public Safety Commission with a recommendation for approval. The Public Safety Department identified fourteen parcels along the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas that would be part of the Neighborhood Permit Parking program. The addresses identified for the permit parking proposal are:
• 14903 Calle Las Brisas
• 14907 Calle Las Brisas
• 14911 Calle Las Brisas
• 14915 Calle Las Brisas
• 14919 Calle Las Brisas
• 14923 Calle Las Brisas
• 14927 Calle Las Brisas
• 14926 Calle Las Brisas
• 14922 Calle Las Brisas
• 14918 Calle Las Brisas
• 14914 Calle Las Brisas
• 14910 Calle Las Brisas
• 14906 Calle Las Brisas
• 14902 Calle Las Brisas

PROPOSAL
Staff proposes the implementation of Neighborhood Permit Parking for the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas under the criteria outlined by Resolution No. 20:029. This residentinitiated request would help alleviate parking congestion caused by non-residents and provide residents with the opportunity to secure parking near their homes.

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
PERMIT PARKING REQUEST FOR 14900 BLK OF CALLE LAS BRISAS Page 3

FISCAL IMPACT
Adding the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas to the Neighborhood Permit Parking program would have minimal fiscal impact. The City purchases a surplus of permanent and guest parking passes for the program due to lost or stolen parking passes reported by residents.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the authorization of Neighborhood Permit Parking on the 14900 block of Calle Las Brisas.

SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH EPD SOLUTIONS, INC.

IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $52,825 TO PROVIDE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) ANALYSIS SERVICES AND

PREPARATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT FOR THE

REPUBLIC SERVICES/ECDC ENVIRONMENTAL, LC UNCLASSIFIED

USE PERMIT PROJECT

BACKGROUND
This item is a request to approve a professional services agreement with EPD Solutions, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $52,825 to provide California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis services and preparation of supporting environmental document services for the Republic Services/ECDC Environmental, LC Unclassified Use Permit project.

In October 2023, Republic Services submitted a business license application under their Consolidated Services Division for their business operations in Paramount based at 7727 Jackson Street. In the application, Republic Services indicated a business start date of 2019. Given the unique business model of Republic Services, City staff determined that an unclassified use permit application would be the appropriate means to review the business operations.

In January 2024, Republic Services submitted an application – Unclassified Use Permit No. 24-01 under an ancillary business, ECDC Environmental, LC. Planning Department staff determined that the application was incomplete until an environmental analysis under CEQA accompanied the application (as required of all discretionary permits such as an unclassified use permit). Upon review of environmental consultants, EPD Solutions was identified as a leading environmental planning firm with the expertise to review such unclassified use permit application. On May 16, 2024, following research into the subject matter, EPD Solutions responded to a request for proposal (copy included).

In July 2024, Republic Services submitted a revised unclassified use permit application reflecting changes to their internal staffing.

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
AGREEMENT – EPD SOLUTIONS Page 2
On September 17, 2024, the City received a check from Republic Services for the environmental analysis services EPD Solutions will provide upon City Council approval of a professional services agreement.

DISCUSSION
Republic Services is applying for an unclassified use permit for current operations related only to the transport of hazardous waste and materials through the City using City roads and facilities to the site surrounding 7727 Jackson Street. The purpose of the unclassified use permit is to ensure Republic Services is in compliance with all applicable City transport law. Currently, the transport operations include trucking of sealed bins containing Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and non-RCRA waste from various sites through the City to the Southern Cal Trans/Rail Site where they are then transported by rail to landfills in Utah and Idaho operated by Republic Services.

The purpose of the unclassified use permit is not to review the operation of the transfer station. The City Attorney’s Office has determined that the transfer station is regulated by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) under State law and federal law (RCRA). Therefore, according to the City Attorney, jurisdiction over the operations of the transfer station site lies with the State DTSC and not with the City. As part of the review, EPD will review compliance with DTSC requirements as that relates to transport by gathering DTSC materials through the review of electronically available documentation.

Following completion of any needed technical studies, EPD Solutions will prepare draft and final environmental analyses including any mitigation measures.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract amount will not exceed $52,825. As Republic Services is compensating the City for the services to be completed by EPD Solutions, there is no net impact to the Planning Department budget.

Pursuant to Chapter 3.12 Purchasing of Supplies and Equipment of the Paramount Municipal Code, this acquisition 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. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

INSURANCE

1. Time for Compliance. CONSULTANT shall not commence work under this Agreement until it has provided evidence satisfactory to the CITY that it has secured all insurance required under this section. In addition, CONSULTANT shall not allow any sub CONSULTANT to commence work on any subcontract until it has provided evidence satisfactory to the CITY that the sub CONSULTANT has secured all insurance required under this section.

2. Types of Insurance Required. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement for work to be performed hereunder, and without limiting the indemnity provisions of the Agreement, the CONSULTANT, in partial performance of its obligations under such Agreement, shall procure and maintain in full force and effect during the term of the Agreement the following policies of insurance. If the existing policies do not meet the insurance requirements set forth herein, CONSULTANT agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the policies to do so.
(A) Commercial General Liability: Commercial General Liability Insurance which affords coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office "occurrence" form CG 0001, or the exact equivalent, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and no less than $2,000,000 in the general aggregate. Defense costs shall be paid in addition to the limits. The policy shall contain no endorsements or provisions (1) limiting coverage for contractual liability; (2) excluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another (cross-liability); or (3) containing any other exclusion(s) contrary to the terms or purposes of this Agreement.
(B) Automobile Liability Insurance: Automobile Liability Insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Form CA 0001 covering "Any Auto" (Symbol 1), or the exact equivalent, covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities with limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined limit for each occurrence.

If CONSULTANT does not own any company vehicles or may not be able to purchase a Business Automobile Insurance Policy, the requirement may be satisfied by providing either of the following: (1) a Personal Automobile Liability policy for the CONSULTANT's own vehicle stipulating "Automobile Liability Insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each accident"; and (2) a non-owned auto endorsement to the Commercial General Liability policy if CONSULTANT uses vehicles of others (e.g., vehicles of employees). {00009748.DOCX V1} 14
(C) Workers' Compensation: Workers' Compensation Insurance, as required by the State of California and Employer's Liability Insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and disease.
(D) Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions): Professional Liability insurance or Errors & Omissions insurance appropriate to CONSULTANT’s profession with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. Covered professional services shall specifically include all work to be performed under the Agreement and delete any exclusions that may potentially affect the work to be performed (for example, any exclusions relating to lead, asbestos, pollution, testing, underground storage tanks, laboratory analysis, soil work, etc.). If coverage is written on a claims-made basis, the retroactive date shall precede the effective date of the initial Agreement and continuous coverage will be maintained or an extended reporting period will be exercised for a period of at least three (3) years from termination or expiration of this Agreement. (E) 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.
(i) Each such policy shall be endorsed with the following language:

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. (iv) The Additional Insured coverage under the CONSULTANT’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. (F) 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 {00009748.DOCX V1} 15
volunteers; or CONSULTANT 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.

3. Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall specifically allow CONSULTANT or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss.

CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

4. Evidence of Insurance. The CONSULTANT, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, shall deliver either certified copies of the required policies, or original certificates on forms approved by the City, together with all endorsements affecting each policy. Required insurance policies shall not be in compliance if they include any limiting provision or endorsement that has not been submitted to the CITY for approval. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. At least fifteen (15 days) prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CONSULTANT shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the CITY evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies.

5. Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

6. Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A- VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.

7. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non-estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of {00009748.DOCX V1} 16
non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

8. Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

9. Insurance for Subconsultants. CONSULTANT shall include all subconsultants engaged in any work for CONSULTANT relating to this Agreement as additional insureds under the CONSULTANT's policies, or the CONSULTANT shall be responsible for causing subconsultants to purchase the appropriate insurance in compliance with the terms of these Insurance Requirements, including adding the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers as additional insureds to the subconsultant's policies. All policies of Commercial General Liability insurance provided by CONSULTANT’s subconsultants performing work relating to this Agreement shall be endorsed to name the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds using endorsement form ISO CG 20 38 04 13 or an endorsement providing equivalent coverage. CONSULTANT shall not allow any subconsultant to commence work on any subcontract relating to this Agreement until it has received satisfactory evidence of subconsultant’s compliance with all insurance requirements under this Agreement, to the extent applicable. The CONSULTANT shall provide satisfactory evidence of compliance with this section upon request of the CITY.

Currently, the transport operations include trucking of sealed bins containing hazardous and non-hazardous waste from various sites through the City to the Southern Cal Trans/Rail Site where they are then transported via rail to Republic’s landfills in Utah or Idaho for ultimate disposal.

SCOPE OF WORK
The following tasks will be required to complete the CEQA documentation for the project. In the sections that follow, more details are provided regarding how each task will be accomplished and the work products that will be produced.

Task 1: Project Kickoff Initiation and Preparation of Project Description Task 2: Preparation of Environmental Compliance Audit
Task 3: CEQA Determination
Task 4: Meetings and Project Management
Task 1. Project Kickoff Meeting and Preparation of Project Description Task 1.1. Project Kickoff Meeting
Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, the EPD team will schedule a kickoff meeting with the project team. Key topics to be discussed during this meeting may include the following:

Task 2. Preparation of Environmental Compliance Audit
To assist with the CEQA determination, EPD Solutions has requested that Roux Associates, Inc (Roux) perform an environmental compliance audit of the transfer facility to better understand potential environmental liabilities and impacts.

Roux will access and monitor available documentation records to determine perform an on-Site facility inspection and on-Site document reviews (including records up to five years old); and conduct employee interviews. During the Site visit, Roux will assess the facility’s present compliance with various applicable federal and state, and local environmental regulations as well as any outstanding complaints. Roux also will focus on the carriers used by Republic for the transport of waste, incident reports of spills or accidents at the facility and City streets, noise and other complaints, to determine compliance with City requirements. generally accepted management practices. The on-site compliance evaluation will be performed over one and a half days, with additional time off-site time spent reviewing documents. Roux will review and assess the development and implementation of various compliance programs such as Hazardous Material Business Plans (HMBPs) and emergency response documents and will assess how effectively the facility has planned to prevent or mitigate environmental impacts that have the potential to occur during foreseeable emergency situations on and off-Site (e.g., periodically completing spill response drills, evaluating success of drills, documented training of employees).

Roux will also perform a search of publicly available documents and information applicable to the transportation of waste to the facility (e.g., air permits, Notice of Violations [NOVs]) to verify that the necessary permits and documentation are in place.

Roux will schedule a facility visit to meet with Republic to chart and understand the transport process. , Roux will arrange a conference call with EPD Solutions, City personnel, and applicable Republic personnel to discuss the audit format, expectations, and logistics (e.g., general facility information, required personal protective equipment [PPE], site safety requirements, start, and end times for each day, the necessity to have key facility staff available during the audits). If necessary, after this call, Roux will provide the facility with a document request list and a pre-audit questionnaire to assist facility personnel to prepare for onsite activities.

During the on-site audit activities, Roux will proceed as follows:
• Conduct a brief opening meeting (10-20 minutes) with facility management and staff with environmental responsibilities to discuss the audit’s scope, team, and execution. Any facility safety requirements (e.g., emergency egress procedures) should also be covered by Republic personnel during the opening meeting.
• Perform a targeted site walk through, with key personnel, to understand the facility’s processes and to observe conditions and practices which could lead to environmental compliance issues and risks or constitute a regulatory violation. • Review procedures and applicable written programs, permits, and if necessary, correspondence with authorities Roux will review materials extending back as far as five years, when necessary, to evaluate compliance with applicable regulatory recordkeeping and reporting provisions.
• Complete brief interviews with key facility personnel.

The environmental compliance review may cover topics including the following as they apply to the transport on City streets impacting City facilities, such as storm drains:
• Waste transfer practices
• Air pollution sources, emissions and permitting
• Greenhouse gas emissions
• Water supply and stormwater discharges
• Wastewater generation and discharges
• Solid waste management/disposal
• Hazardous material/waste handling
• Nonhazardous material/waste handling
• Spill contingency planning
In coordination with EPD Solutions and the City, Roux may hold daily wrap-up meetings with key facility employees to discuss identified risks and any outstanding documentation, as appropriate.

Similarly, any conditions that could be immediately dangerous to life and health/environmental situations identified during the audit may be communicated to facility contacts immediately.

The compliance audit will be performed by a seasoned professional who has a thorough knowledge of federal regulations, as well as any applicable state and local regulations.

A draft report presenting our findings will be prepared and submitted to the City Attorney within three weeks of the completion of on-site audit activities. That draft shall remain confidential. The report will be a standard tabular report format that identifies findings based on compliance deficiencies and risk. The report will include adverse findings, applicable requirements, pinpoint regulatory references, and recommended corrective action(s). A final report will be produced within one week of receiving a consolidated set of comments on the draft.

Task 3. CEQA Determination
Based on the findings of the Environmental Compliance Audit, EPD will work with City Staff and the City Attorney to compare the Audit against CEQA thresholds to determine the proper CEQA compliance path. EPD will work with the City Attorney’s office to draft the CEQA documentation.

If the CEQA compliance path requires preparation of further environmental review, additional scope and budget would be required. Once the project is approved, EPD will file the Notice of Determination (NOD) or Exemption (NOE) with the Los Angeles County Clerk.

Task 4. Meetings & Project Management
Throughout the process, EPD will coordinate with City staff in ensuring the project is accurately and appropriately assessed in the environmental document. EPD assumes bi-weekly follow up meetings, and attendance at one public hearing (Planning Commission) by the project manager and project principal.

The project manager will be the key contact and will be responsible for managing: (1) task scheduling and assignments, management of resources, monitoring of costs, and schedule adherence; (2) consultation and coordination with local and state agencies relative to the environmental document and the environmental review process; (3) coordination and communications with the project team to ensure that City policies, procedures, and any applicable codes are complied with and, where applicable, are incorporated into the exemption justification; and (4) ensuring that the environmental review process and the exemption justification satisfy the statutes and guidelines of CEQA and CEQA procedures.

This scope of work assumes ongoing project management at an estimated 1 hour/week for the project manager and 2 hours/month for the project principal, for the duration of the schedule.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC ART MASTER PLAN DRAFT UPDATE
Gail Goldman from Gail M. Goldman Associates, LLC will give an oral presentation updating progress on the Public Art Master Plan.

In anticipation of the City Council reviewing the Public Art Master Plan at an upcoming meeting, this presentation will introduce themes, vision, and goals of the plan, artist and artwork selection, procedures for public art, and outcomes from the community engagement process.

The framework of the artist and artwork selection guidelines will touch on goals for the artist selection process, including methods for artist selection, options for artist solicitation, evaluation criteria, and a proposed artist selection panel. One specific recommendation is to transfer Development Review Board review and approval of publicly accessible art on private property to the City Council.

Procedures for public art will outline the process for public art installations on private property and municipal property that will include procedures for routine maintenance based on best practices.

Regarding public outreach, interviews and focus groups were held during the period between December 2023 and June 2024. Both residents and members of the business community had opportunities to participate in several workshops that were held throughout the City. Themes, vision, and goals of the Public Art Master Plan have been drafted with consideration of input received from select stakeholders and the community at large.

SUBJECT: STATION CITIES PUBLIC SAFETY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY

AGREEMENT

BACKGROUND
Improving public safety requires a comprehensive set of accountability and prevention strategies that can be acquired by forming a Station Cities Public Safety Joint Powers Authority (JPA) for community safety services. For the past several months, the cities of Paramount, Bellflower, and Lakewood have been collaborating to create a platform to help supplement (not take the place of) each cities’ law enforcement contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD). This item is a request to enter into a JPA for community safety services with the neighboring cities of Bellflower and Lakewood.

All three cities feel that the law enforcement services provided by LASD could be improved, particularly when it comes to enhancing the quality-of-life response resources available to our residents. However, due to lack of staffing, LASD continues to have a growth moratorium in effect, preventing cities from adding new deputies or increasing services through new overtime shifts. The Sheriff has recently committed to reducing deputy overtime even further due to personnel fatigue, ineffective performance, and the overall mental health deterioration of LASD staff. Rather than each city attempting to supplement these service deficiencies independently, joining forces would provide a more cost-effective approach.

DISCUSSION
There are several reasons why Paramount, Bellflower, and Lakewood should form this JPA. First, the three cities are the three largest cities served by the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station and share the same command structure, incarceration facility, and other general law enforcement overhead. We also face many of the same regional public safety issues; for instance, Paramount and Bellflower consistently deal with street intersection takeovers on the border between the two jurisdictions. The cities have previously established overlapping and shared resources to address these regional issues as well; for instance, Paramount currently shares the services of Deputy District Attorney. Kelly Tatman with Lakewood. All three cities also share the same “tough on crime” public safety philosophy and staff work exceptionally well together to support and enact this mutual approach.

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
STATION CITIES PUBLIC SAFETY JPA AGREEMENT Page 2
If formed, this authority will create a legislative Policy Board made up of a member from each of the participating cities for the purpose of promoting collaboration among the cities to plan, coordinate, and provide for a variety of public safety services that will enhance the quality of life and improve the overall safety of the respective communities. Following are the general descriptions of the measures the Authority can enact in furtherance of its purpose. More detailed action items are listed under Exhibit A.

A. Develop new or enhance/augment existing contract services for sworn/non-sworn personnel/retirees to supplement existing contract policing services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department;
B. Develop the framework to share existing individual city resources as a supplemental or on an as-needed substitute basis;
C. Provide homeless and mental health response coordination between the public agencies, neighboring communities, and regional service providers; D. Develop a public safety focused legislative platform to assess proposed legislation and advocate for policy and legislative changes that promote quality of life and public safety;
E. Establish a shared traffic and road safety program that supplements existing traffic safety enforcement efforts to include, but not limited to, minor traffic violations, noninjury collision reports, traffic control, and traffic investigations; F. Share prosecutorial services to more effectively address criminal violations that directly impact quality of life in neighborhoods and business districts; G. Plan and coordinate emergency management and preparedness for public agency staff and community members; and
H. Other purposes related to improving and enhancing public safety including, without limitation, obtaining federal, state and county funding.

The legislative body of each of the participating cities shall appoint one member and one alternate board member from among its council. Each member and alternate of the Board shall serve a two-year term commencing July 1 of each even-numbered year, except that the first term shall commence on the date of appointment and expire on June 30, 2026.

Board members and alternates may be removed at any time by the appointing legislative body. A vacancy shall be declared if any member or alternate shall cease serving on the appointing legislative body. Vice Mayor Lemons has already been appointed by the Mayor to serve as Paramount’s representative to this Board. An alternate board member will still need to be appointed to the Board.

BONDS, SERIES A, ALONG WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF

A LOAN AGREEMENT, AN ESCROW AGREEMENT AND OTHER

DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LOAN, AND AUTHORIZING

CERTAIN OTHER RELATED ACTIONS

BACKGROUND
On August 22, 2023, the governing board (the “Governing Board”) of the Successor Agency to the Paramount Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) adopted Resolution No. 23:002 approving the purchase of a reserve account insurance policy to satisfy the reserve requirement for the outstanding Paramount Redevelopment Agency Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 2010 Tax Allocation Bonds, Series A (the “2010A Bonds”). Upon the deposit of such policy with the trustee of the 2010A Bonds, the amounts on deposit in the reserve account established for the 2010A Bonds were to be released to the Successor Agency for expenditure in accordance with the bond covenants, including the financing of infrastructure and affordable housing to the extent permitted by law (such as the Methodist Church Affordable Housing project in the City of Paramount).

On March 19, 2024, the Fourth Supervisorial District Consolidated Oversight Board of Los Angeles County (the “County”) adopted Resolution No. ARC-46 approving the purchase of such reserve account insurance policy, provided that certain conditions were satisfied, including that the purchase be “revenue-neutral” to the County and affected taxing entities.

Staff subsequently met and conferred with the California Department of Finance (the “Department of Finance”) regarding Resolution No. 23:002. By letter dated May 14, 2024, the Department of Finance disapproved the actions taken in Resolution No. 23:002 and Resolution No. ARC-46.

The Department of Finance has informed staff that it will approve the release of funds on deposit in the reserve account for the 2010A Bonds in connection with a refunding of the Agenda Report October 8, 2024
2010A Bonds Refunding Page 2
2010A Bonds that meets the savings parameters in Section 34177.5(a)(1) of the California Health and Safety Code.

Accordingly, Staff is returning to the Governing Board seeking the adoption of the attached resolution authorizing the Successor Agency to enter into a loan agreement to refund the outstanding 2010A Bonds. The 2010A Bonds are anticipated to be refunded with proceeds of a loan to be made by EverBank N.A. (together with its successors and assigns, “EverBank”), in accordance with the savings parameters in Section 34177.5(a)(1) of the California Health and Safety Code. Based on the revised bid proposal of EverBank, the refunding of the 2010A Bonds is anticipated to generate debt service savings more than $38,000, which would result in higher property tax distributions to taxing entities within Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 of the former Paramount Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Agency”).

The Successor Agency currently has unexpended proceeds in the reserve account for the 2010A Bonds and the 2010B Bonds (defined below) totaling approximately $1.8 million. The proposed resolution also approves the transfer of such proceeds to the City for expenditure in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants in the indenture for such bonds (the “Indenture”), pursuant to Section 34191.4(c)(2)(B) of the California Health and Safety Code and the existing Agreement Regarding Expenditure of Excess Bond Proceeds effective on January 24, 2017, between the Successor Agency and the City of Paramount (the “Bond Expenditure Agreement”).

Of the approximate $1.8 million on deposit in such reserve account, staff anticipates causing approximately $1.3 million to be transferred to the City for expenditure in accordance with the Bond Expenditure Agreement on the Methodist Church Affordable Housing project or other eligible capital projects. The remaining $500,000 would be used to refund the outstanding 2010A Bonds, which represents the amount that would have been used to make the final debt service payment on the 2010A Bonds if the 2010A Bonds were not refunded.

DISCUSSION
Redevelopment agencies were dissolved by the passage of ABx1 26 by the California Legislature. The California Supreme Court upheld the dissolution statute in December of 2011, and the dissolution of redevelopment agencies occurred effective February 1, 2012.

Outstanding Tax Allocation Bonds
Prior to its dissolution, the Former Agency issued various bonds including the Paramount Redevelopment Agency Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 Compound Interest Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Issue of 1998 (the “1998 Bonds”), the Paramount Redevelopment Agency Redevelopment Project Area. No. 1 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Issue of 2003 (the “2003 Bonds”), the 2010A Bonds and the Paramount Redevelopment Agency Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 2010 Taxable Tax Allocation Bonds, Series B (the “2010B Bonds”). In 2015, the Successor Agency issued a series of Agenda Report October 8, 2024
2010A Bonds Refunding Page 3
bonds to refund the 2003 Bonds. Only the 1998 Bonds and the 2010A Bonds remain outstanding.

Bids Received for Private Placement Loan
The Successor Agency’s independent municipal advisor, Kosmont Financial Services (the “Municipal Advisor”), solicited bids/indicative rates from several financial institutions that offer tax-exempt loans. The following bids were received in response:

1. EverBank: 4.45% per annum

2. Umqua Bank: 4.75% to 5.00% per annum

3. JP Morgan: 4.85% to 5.00% per annum
Based on the above, EverBank provided the lowest, conforming bid.

After the Federal Reserve Bank’s meeting in July 2024, at the request of the Successor Agency, EverBank agreed to lower their bid to 4.38% per annum, in anticipation of a future rate reduction. EverBank’s rate is subject to final review and approval.

Staff recommends that the Successor Agency approve a loan from EverBank (the “Loan”) in the principal amount not to exceed $2,282,500 to refund the outstanding 2010A Bonds.

Staff also recommends that the Governing Board waive the savings goal for refundings in the City’s Debt Management Policy, which is being approved as part of these proceedings. The Loan will be secured by tax revenues in the Successor Agency’s Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund on a basis subordinate to the payment of debt service on the outstanding 1998 Bonds.

Savings Parameters
The provisions of the California Health and Safety Code governing the dissolution of redevelopment agencies (the “Dissolution Act”) authorize the Successor Agency to issue refunding bonds or incur other indebtedness (including loans) to refinance the outstanding 2010A Bonds as long as (i) the total interest cost to maturity on the refunding bonds or other indebtedness, plus the principal amount of the refunding bonds or other indebtedness, does not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded, plus the remaining principal of the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded; and (ii) the principal amount of the refunding bonds or other indebtedness does not exceed the amount required to defease the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded, to establish customary debt service reserves and to pay related costs of issuance (collectively, the “Savings Parameters”).

To determine compliance with the Savings Parameters, at request of the Successor Agency, the Municipal Advisor prepared an analysis of the potential debt service savings (the “Debt Service Savings Analysis”; see Attachment 4).

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
2010A Bonds Refunding Page 4
The refunding of the 2010A Bonds is anticipated to produce debt service savings of approximately $38,000, or approximately 1.7% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2010A Bonds. In addition, the Loan is anticipated to mature on August 1, 2026, one year prior to the original maturity of the 2010A Bonds. A small percentage of the projected savings will accrue to the City (approximately 8%), and the remaining savings will be distributed to the affected taxing entities.

Bond Expenditure Agreement
The attached resolution also approves:
(i) the transfer of all unexpended proceeds of the 2010A Bonds and the 2010B Bonds on deposit in the reserve account established under the Indenture for such bonds to the City for expenditure in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants in the Indenture pursuant to Section 34191.4(c)(2)(B) of the California Health and Safety Code and the existing Bond Expenditure Agreement, and
(ii) to the extent it is determined by the Successor Agency that any such proceeds cannot be so spent, the use of any proceeds that cannot be so spent to defease and redeem the 2010A Bonds in accordance with Section 34191.4(c)(2)(C) of the California Health and Safety Code.

The Bond Expenditure Agreement was approved by the Governing Board pursuant to Resolution No. SAPRA 17:001, adopted by on January 24, 2017, and by the former Oversight Board for the Successor Agency for the Paramount Redevelopment Agency pursuant to Resolution No. OB 17:001, adopted on January 30, 2017. The Department of Finance approved Resolution No. OB 17:0021 by letter dated March 13, 2017. The Bond Expenditure Agreement was approved in connection with other unexpended proceeds of the 2010A Bonds and the 2010B Bonds held by the Successor Agency at such time.

Approximately $1.8 million, representing proceeds of the 2010A Bonds and 2010B Bonds, are on deposit in the reserve account held under the Indenture. Upon the closing of the Loan, Staff anticipates causing approximately $1.3 million to be transferred to the City for expenditure in accordance with the Bond Expenditure Agreement to finance a portion of the cost of the proposed affordable housing project at the Methodist Church in the City, or other eligible capital projects. The remaining $500,000 would be used to refund the outstanding 2010A Bonds, which represents the amount that would have been used to make the final debt service payment on the 2010A Bonds if the 2010A Bonds were not refunded.

Methodist Church Affordable Housing Conversion Project (Proposed Project) The Methodist Church Affordable Housing Conversion Project is a proposed 20-unit project located on three parcels at a severely blighted corner. A former Methodist Church, a dilapidated bar, and an auto body shop are currently situated on the parcels.

Agenda Report October 8, 2024
2010A Bonds Refunding Page 5
The project calls for 15% to 20% affordable for-purchase townhomes at no more than 80% AMI (low to moderate affordability), which translates into four subsidized home ownership opportunities for low-to-moderate income families in the community.

The project has a $2 million funding gap to provide first-time homeowner down payment assistance. The project presents an opportunity to address the City’s affordable housing needs and the revitalization of a blighted area in Paramount’s core. Staff has identified the refunding of the 2010A Bonds as an opportunity for the Successor Agency to assist the City with funding a portion of the Methodist Church Affordable Housing Conversion Project.

Waiver of Savings Target Debt Management Policy
Under the City’s Debt Management Policy, which is being adopted by the Successor Agency as part of these proceedings, it is a policy goal to realize, whenever possible, and subject to any overriding non-financial policy considerations, minimum net present value debt service savings equal to or greater than 4% of the refunded principal amount of the refunded debt. As described above, the proposed refunding of the 2010A Bonds is anticipated to achieve net present value debt service savings less than the stated savings goal.

The 4.0% savings target was generally established for a traditional refunding issue, with 10 to 20 years remaining to maturity. The proposed refunding of the 2010A Bonds provides less than a 1.0% interest rate differential; however, there are only 2 years remaining to maturity. Accordingly, the proposed refunding of the 2010A Bonds is the final opportunity to realize savings. In addition, the proposed refunding will enable the Successor Agency to assist the City to help fund a portion of the funding shortfall for the Methodist Church Affordable Housing Conversion Project, as described above.

Therefore, Successor Agency staff recommends that such policy goal be waived by the Governing Board as to the proposed refunding of the 2010A Bonds.

Recommended Actions of the Governing Board
The first step in moving forward with the refunding of the 2010A Bonds is for the Governing Board to adopt the attached resolution approving the incurrence of the Loan in the principal amount not to exceed $2,282,500, authorizing the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement (Attachment 2) and the Escrow Agreement (Attachment 3) substantially in the forms presented at this meeting with such changes as are authorized in the resolution, and authorizing certain other actions in connection therewith, as described above.

In addition, under the proposed resolution, Anzel Galvan LLP is approved and appointed as Special Counsel to the Successor Agency, Kosmont Financial Services is appointed as municipal advisor to the Successor Agency, and Rutan & Tucker, LLP is appointed as special redevelopment counsel to the Successor Agency, in connection with the refunding of the 2010A Bonds. The Authorized Officers (as defined in the proposed resolution), Agenda Report October 8, 2024
2010A Bonds Refunding Page 6
each acting alone, are authorized to execute professional services agreement with each such firm; provided that all fees of such firms are paid by the City of Paramount, not the Successor Agency.

Approval by Consolidated Oversight Board and Department of Finance The Fourth Supervisorial District Consolidated Oversight Board will meet on October 15, 2024, to consider the proposed Loan to refund the outstanding 2010A Bonds and the other actions approved in by the Governing Board in the proposed resolution.

Upon approval of the Fourth Supervisorial District Consolidated Oversight Board, the proposed resolution of the Governing Board, the resolution of the Fourth Supervisorial District Consolidated Oversight Board, the Loan Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Debt Service Savings Analysis will be submitted by staff to the Department of Finance.

The Department of Finance will have up to 65 days to approve the resolution of the Fourth Supervisorial District Consolidated Oversight Board. If approved by the Department of Finance, Staff anticipates that the Loan will close approximately two weeks after such approval is received by the Successor Agency.

FISCAL IMPACT
As set forth in the Debt Service Savings Analysis, based on the rate proposed by EverBank of 4.38%, it is anticipated that the refunding of the 2010A Bonds will produce net present value savings of approximately $38,000, or approximately 1.7% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2010A Bonds. The reduction in debt service will generate additional property tax revenues for distribution to the other affected taxing entities.

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.
