Commenter Request/Issue/Concern Action/Comment
Henrietta
Williamson,
Paramount resident
(Towne Center
Terrace)
Rent control for all seniors,
whether they live in houses,
apartments, or mobile
homes.

Staff met with the managing
supervisor of Towne Center
Terrace to discuss their current
billing structure among other
concerns relayed by tenants.

Management company reported
that they froze rents for current
year and instead, began charging
resident for utilities (water, trash,
pest control). The property is
currently occupied with
approximately 70% Section 8
tenancy; they are still open to
receiving more Section 8
applicants based on available
occupancy. Staff requested
additional information such as
their past issued rent increases
which is still pending. The City
requested to connect Senior
Center staff with the onsite
manager to establish a positive
relationship and open
communications going forward.

Rent control that’s not
limited to mobile home parks
but the entire city. Would like
rent freezes until a rent
control ordinance is
established, as well as
seeking protection from
landlords who harass
tenants. Some mentioned
concerns with high rent
increases of 8% at 15325
Orange Avenue, along with
public safety concerns.

Staff have begun conducting
research on the mobile home
properties in the City and their
actions relating to rent increases.

Staff have contacted MH Action
and some tenants to explain that
this research will take some time
for the City to gather necessary
data and evaluate options. Staff is
also working on arranging
meetings with the respective
property owners/managers,

including those at the Orange
Avenue Mobile Home Park.

Staff will keep the organization
informed of any progress and
actions to be taken.

Mike Radis,
Paramount Resident
Requesting City Council
direct staff to enforce the
Municipal Code regarding an
illegal hazardous waste
facility operating on Vermont
Avenue.

Also requested the City to
process records requests in
a timely manner.

The City acknowledges and the
City Attorney disagrees with Mr.

Radis' assertions. Contrary to his
statement, he repeatedly has
spoken with or emailed a number
of City staff members to argue his
point of view. As of today, the
transfer station is in compliance
with all DTSC regulations. The
City is proceeding with a
Unclassified Use Permit (UUP)
within its land use authority. The
agreement for the environmental
analysis required for the UUP
process for the subject business
was approved by City Council at
the October 8 City Council
meeting. The UUP is anticipated
to be scheduled before the
Planning Commission in mid2025.

Since June 2023, Mr. Radis has
submitted 22 public records
requests. As of October 11, 2024,
16 of those requests are complete.

Of the 6 outstanding requests, 3
were submitted on September 26,
and 1 was submitted on October 4;
the City has responded to all of
those requests as required under
the California State law. The
remaining two outstanding
requests involve a voluminous
amount of records that are being
compiled and reviewed.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE SHOPPING UNDER THE LIGHTS TRAFFIC

CONTROL PLAN AND AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR ON-CALL

TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES

BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount and the Chamber of Commerce are collaborating on the "Shopping Under the Lights" event, scheduled for December 14, 2024. This initiative will take place along Paramount Boulevard, from Alondra Boulevard to Jackson Street, to promote local shopping and community engagement during the holiday season. In preparation for the event, the City prepared a traffic control plan for the event’s street closure and completed the Request for Proposal process to solicit a contractor to provide on-call traffic control services for this event and potential future events, with hours and dates subject to change.

DISCUSSION
On Thursday, September 12, 2024, the City published the Request for Proposals in the Paramount Journal and on the City’s website for on-call traffic control services including the upcoming Shopping Under the Lights event.

On October 4, 2024, the Director of Public Works opened and examined the bids for oncall traffic control services. The bids were opened at 11:00 AM at the City Yard.

One (1) bid was submitted by Statewide Traffic Safety and Signs, Inc. DBA AWP Safety, in the amount of $13,314.50 for the upcoming Shopping Under the Lights event and an hourly rate sheet for on-call services for future events. A bid analysis was conducted and approved for completeness, accurateness, and possession of the appropriate licenses to fulfill this service. Statewide Traffic Safety and Signs, Inc. DBA AWP is a reputable company and has assisted the City, in the past, with traffic control services for the Heritage Festival.

The term of this agreement is for one (1) year, with the option to renew administratively for two (2) one-year extensions. During the term of this agreement, the City may utilize the contractor’s services for as-needed traffic control services, based on the hourly rates provided under this solicitation.

Agenda Report October 22, 2024
ON-CALL TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES Page 2
Additionally, a traffic control plan was prepared for the “Shopping Under the Lights” event.

The traffic plan, similar to the Heritage Festival event, has a closure of Paramount Boulevard, between Alondra Boulevard and Harrison Street. However, there will be one lane open on the southbound side of Paramount Boulevard, for access to the shopping center on Town Center West by the Carl’s Jr., and vehicles can exit the shopping center via Colorado Avenue.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $13,000 was included in the FY 2024-25 Budget for the “Shopping Under the Lights” event. A minor shortage of $350 will be covered by savings in other budget line items. Staff will return to the City Council for additional funding appropriation(s), if there is a need for additional traffic control services for other events in the future.

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
A) Approve the Shopping Under the Lights traffic control plan.

B) Award the contract for traffic control services for the “Shopping Under the Lights” event in the amount of $13,314.50 and on-call traffic control services at the hourly rates specified to Statewide Traffic Safety Signs, Inc.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH LONG BEACH TRANSIT FOR TRANSPORTATION

SERVICES

BACKGROUND
In 2019, the City entered into a five (5) year agreement with Long Beach Transit (LBT) to provide transportation services within the City. The City of Paramount’s Transit program currently consists of a fixed route bus system, an on-demand Dial-A-Lift taxi service, and a Transit Assistance Pass (TAP) system for residents attending local colleges and an Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP) service.

At the time the agreement was approved, it provided for an extended fixed bus route system, an improved on-demand Dial-A-Lift taxi service program, and added additional locations to the TAP program. The fixed bus route system currently provides service to the City’s Downtown area and two sub-routes which were added to circulate in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, providing a turnaround loop bounded by Garfield Ave., Rosecrans Ave., Paramount Blvd., and Alondra Blvd. Additionally, Route 71 was extended to continue past Garfield Ave., and travel along Rosecrans Ave. to the Walmart shopping center.

Additional changes included an updated Dial-A-Lift taxi service and the ENP program to allow eligible riders the ability to schedule direct service to their desired destination. The TAP program was also extended from (2) colleges to (6) six. Given that the agreement is set to expire, the City and LBT now seek to renew the agreement, providing the same level of service as the previous agreement, for an additional (5) five years until June 30, 2029.

DISCUSSION
Following City Council approval in 2019, several improvements and changes were made to the City’s transit system that were incorporated into the existing agreement with Long Beach Transit (LBT). The changes provided for expanded services and cost efficiencies.

Outlined below is the current service model provided by LBT for each of the City’s transit programs, which will continue through the new contract term:

FISCAL IMPACT
The City has currently budgeted for the contract amount in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The cost for the transit services from Long Beach Transit (LBT) is set at a fixed 40 percent of the City’s Proposition A (Prop A) allocation each year for the (5) five-year term. This percentage will remain the same, regardless of whether the Proposition A revenue increases or decreases. As a result, the annual payment to LBT could be higher or lower depending on the Prop A allocation, however service levels provided by LBT will remain the same, regardless of funding levels. There is no additional fiscal impact, beyond what is currently budgeted.

"The City of Paramount, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are included as insureds for damages and defense of claims arising from: (a) activities performed by or on behalf of the Named Insured, (b) products and completed operations of the Named Insured, or (c) premises owned, leased, or used by the Named Insured."

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Heidi Luce, City Clerk
Date: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: BIENNIAL REVIEW OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE

BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act requires all public agencies to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code.

The Conflict of Interest Code designates positions required to file a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) and assigns disclosure categories specifying the types of financial interests to be reported.

In 1990, Government Code Section 87306.5 was added to the Political Reform Act requiring a review of the Conflict of Interest Code be performed by the code reviewing body each even-numbered year.

DISCUSSION
The City Council last amended the Conflict of Interest Code in 2022 and adopted Resolution No. 22:047 (attached) memorializing the amendments. The City Clerk has reviewed the City’s current Conflict of Interest Code, in consultation with the City Attorney, and determined that there have been no changes affecting the current officers and agencies that would necessitate an amendment to the code this year. Resolution No. 22:047 accurately reflects the most current list of designated employees required to comply with the City's Conflict of Interest Code and respective disclosure categories.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.

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 - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the report on the biennial review of the City’s conflict of interest code.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: John King, AICP, Interim Planning Director
Sol Bejarano, Management Analyst
Date: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE

EVALUATION REPORT (CAPER)

BACKGROUND
The City is a recipient of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As such, the City is required to prepare and submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to HUD for review and approval. The CAPER is a yearly review of the City’s effectiveness in meeting the objectives specified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for use of CDBG and HOME funds.

A public notice was published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram on September 13, 2024.

The purpose of the notice is to solicit public comments from interested residents and invite them to the City Council meeting if they wish to comment on this item. The draft CAPER was made available to the public for the required 15-day review period starting on September 13, 2024 and ending September 27, 2024.

DISCUSSION
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan provides HUD with a complete assessment of the City’s housing and community development needs. The plan also outlines the City’s priorities, objectives, and strategies for the investment of CDBG and HOME funds to address the needs over a five-year period and as identified in the Annual Action Plan for each year of the five-year period.

The City’s comprehensive Five-Year Consolidated Plan which covers Fiscal Years 2022- 26 was approved by the City Council in May of 2022. The City Council approved a substantial amendment to the Five-Year Consolidated Plan in May of 2023 along with the Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its Strategic Plan and its Action Plan.

91.520(a)
This 2023-2024 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the City of Paramount’s report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) describing the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The CAPER reports on the second Program Year of the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan period, covering July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and activities in furtherance of the Consolidated Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Paramount residents, as discussed below.

For the 2023-2024 program year, the City received $761,014.00 of CDBG funds and $303,074.00 of HOME funds in addition to $163,300.00 of available unallocated CDBG funds and $13,675.40 of HOME program income for a total grant allocation of $1,241,063.40. These funds were used to meet the Action Plan goals, including funding for fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation services, senior enrichment activities, and housing rehabilitation.

The City received $1,087,336 of HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funds from HUD under the 2021 Action Plan. The City’s substantial amendment to the 2021 Action Plan adding the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan was approved February 14, 2023. The HOME-ARP Allocation Plan includes $217,467 for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance, $652,402 for Supportive Services, $54,367 for Non-Profit Operating Assistance and $163,100 for Administration and Planning. During the reporting period, a total of $119,497.78 was expended on HOME-ARP activities.

Table 1 provides a summary of the five-year and one-year accomplishments for the period ending June 30, 2024, listed by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan of the Consolidated Plan.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the Action Plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

As shown in Table 1, the City and its housing and community development partners made significant progress toward achieving the 2023-2024 Program Year goals established in the Action Plan. Each of the CDBG and HOME funded activities addressed specific high priority objectives identified in the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan.

The City of Paramount allocated CDBG and HOME funds to activities that affirmatively furthered fair housing choice, provided neighborhood services, enhanced economic opportunities, preserved affordable housing and provided for the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs. The City also used General Funds to fund public service activities.

Each of the activities that were underway during the 2023-2024 Program Year are listed in Figure 1, including the amount of CDBG or HOME funds allocated to the activity and the amount spent as of June 30, 2024. Figure 2 provides the numeric accomplishment goal, and the amount accomplished as of June 30, 2024.

The City did not designate specific CDBG or HOME target areas in the 2022- 2026 Consolidated Plan; therefore, 100 percent of all CDBG and HOME funds are represented under the “Citywide Area” designation.

CITY OF PARAMOUNT - 9 - 2023-2024 CAPER
Narrative
For the 2023-2024 Program Year, the City allocated 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG and HOME investments for Program Year 2023-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons throughout the City of Paramount.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the Action Plan.

To address housing and community development needs in Paramount, CDBG and HOME entitlement grants are used to leverage a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City’s former Redevelopment Agency was the primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the City’s ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City and its development partners continue to seek new opportunities to leverage other resources.

HUD requires HOME Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJ’s satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. The match reductions are granted due to fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress, and Presidential disaster declarations. For those PJs with both fiscal distress and Presidential disaster match reductions, the PJ may take the higher match reduction for the current fiscal year.

When a local jurisdiction meets one of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction satisfies both of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100 percent reduction of match. The City of Paramount has received a 50% match reduction from HUD, and therefore, will match 50 percent of HOME Funds using non-federal funds.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

One high priority affordable housing goal was identified in the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan to provide the framework necessary to invest CDBG and HOME funds to address affordable housing needs. This included Affordable Housing Preservation, Development and Access.

Tables 11 and 12 indicate the number of households supported with affordable housing assistance through the HOME program during the 2023-2024 Program Year.

As the City’s housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes. As such, the 2023-2024 Action Plan allocated $244,660 of CITY OF PARAMOUNT - 14 - 2023-2024 CAPER
CDBG funds and $240,981 of HOME funds for the preservation of owner-occupied singlefamily dwellings as part of the Home Improvement Program. The Home Improvement Program served one (1) extremely low-income and three (3) low-income households during the year.

Affordable housing renovations are typically multi-year projects and are subject to the ability to secure funding from various sources. Often, the ability to meet the anticipated goals is dictated by various factors that can create disparities between goals and actual outcomes such as: funding availability, costs of raw materials, timing, and project schedules.

Unexpected challenges are commonly encountered during the repair phase of the project which causes delays that impact project delivery.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan identified a high priority need to preserve the supply of affordable housing. During the 2023-2024 Program Year, the City of Paramount invested HOME funds in the rehabilitation of four (4) owner-occupied single-family dwellings.

In future annual action plans, the City anticipates continuing to invest in affordable housing preservation in addition to investing in projects that will create new affordable housing opportunities for low-income residents.

As community needs change the City may need to undertake additional activities to best achieve the City's ability to meet its affordable housing goals. All future Annual Action Plans will provide additional information on any on-going affordable housing activities and the City will continue to assess and determine affordable housing needs that best utilize available funding sources.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families or households served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

Narrative Information
The 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan identified high priority affordable housing needs including preserving the supply of affordable rental and owner-occupied housing. To CITY OF PARAMOUNT - 15 - 2023-2024 CAPER
preserve housing that is already affordable to low-income homeowners, the City of Paramount's Home Improvement Program rehabilitated four (4) owner-occupied units.

To address what HUD defines as “worst case housing need” the City provided funds in the 2023-2024 Action Plan for the preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and extremely low-income residents who would otherwise continue to live in substandard housing because they were not in the financial position to properly maintain their home. This includes attempts to meet the needs of persons with disabilities by making necessary improvements which aid the mobility of the elderly and physically disabled such as shower units with seats, handrails, ramping and reconstructing doorways.

Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities is a costeffective way to invest limited resources to retain housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income residents and ensure all economic segments of the community have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of Paramount is not the recipient of federal or state funds targeted to homeless individuals and families. However, the City of Paramount supported homeless and other special needs activities through community grants administered by the Public Safety Department.

Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community-based organizations and faith-based groups. To reach out to unsheltered homeless persons and assess their individual needs for the purpose of connecting them with available emergency shelter and transitional housing resources, the City of Paramount provided information and referrals to the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC) led by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the organizations receiving CDBG funds for homelessness prevention activities.

During LAHSA’s most recent homeless count in 2024, the City of Paramount had a total of 42 homeless persons counted. Of the 42 homeless persons counted, 0 were in cars, 9 had makeshift shelters, 0 were in RV’s/campers, 0 were in vans, 11 were in tents, and 22 were not in a dwelling.

During the reporting period, the City allocated General Funds to support community-based nonprofits – many of which focus their work on addressing homelessness and providing services to special needs populations. The City also continued its partnership with Family Promise of South Bay during the 2023-2024 Program Year to provide homeless prevention services consisting of emergency shelter and supportive services to Paramount residents and expended $119,497.78 of HOME-ARP funds to provide supportive services designed to assist the homeless populations.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system in order to address the immediate needs of Los Angeles County’s homeless population. -16-
CITY OF PARAMOUNT 2023-2024 CAPER
Los Angeles County has implemented policy and program changes aimed at ensuring homeless persons in Los Angeles County are rapidly housed and offered an appropriate level of support services to meet their circumstances and keep them stably housed. An increase in permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable populations is attributed to Los Angeles County homeless service providers re-tooling their programs and shifting their focus to moving people quickly into permanent supportive housing throughout the County.

To address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons, the City continues to support the Family Promise of South Bay which provides emergency shelter and transitional housing assistance, counseling, and case management for families who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. During the Program Year, Family Promise of South Bay served 29 unduplicated persons via its Homeless Prevention Program.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs To help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, the City provided HOME-ARP funds to Family Promise of South Bay to provide supportive services to assist homeless populations. As a result of these efforts, the City was able to assist a total of 29 households.

Inadequate discharge planning and coordination contributes to homelessness in situations where people are released from public institutions or public systems of care without having an appropriate mainstream or supportive housing option available upon discharge from an institutional setting. Public institutions such as jails, hospitals, treatment facilities, mental health facilities, youth facilities, and foster care homes are central to limiting the creation of newly homeless persons upon discharge.

In California, discharge coordination and planning is largely unregulated unless county or municipal ordinances provide rules preventing public institutions from discharging people into homelessness. One of the goals included in the Los Angeles Ten Year Strategy to End Homelessness is to formalize protocols and improve the coordination of discharge planning among key institutional systems of care and supervision. The goal calls for the CoC to close the “revolving door” to homelessness so that new persons do not find themselves living in the community without the social and economic support necessary to access and maintain themselves in a safe environment.

The City coordinated with the CoC and other subrecipients receiving CDBG funds to ensure -17-
CITY OF PARAMOUNT 2023-2024 CAPER
that its HUD-funded programs are targeted, to the greatest extent feasible, to address the discharge of persons from publicly funded institutions or systems of care so that these individuals and families have access to public services and affordable housing opportunities necessary to prevent homelessness. The City will continue to explore additional ways to prevent and address homelessness caused by discharge from public institutions.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again To address the needs of homeless families, families with children, veterans and their families, the City provided HOME-ARP funds for the Family Promise of South Bay to provide supportive services necessary for families to achieve stability. Paramount’s non-profit partner makes certain that individuals and families have the tools necessary to succeed.

Additionally, the City’s partnership with LAHSA provides intensive, field-based engagement services and support that meets clients and their families where they live. As a result, the City has been able to leverage its partnerships with the County agencies to bolster its homeless outreach.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The Paramount Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing; however, the City is within the service area of the Los Angeles Community Development Agency (LACDA), formerly known as the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing.

LACDA continues to serve the needs of residents through public housing and Section 8 vouchers. LACDA administered Housing Choice Vouchers throughout Los Angeles County and monitors all units to ensure they are in adequate condition, meeting the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
LACDA actively encourages residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement. LACDA also maintains quarterly newsletters for Section 8 tenants, public housing residents, and Section 8 property owners.

LACDA encourages residents to explore homeownership opportunities. LACDA currently administers Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program for public conventional housing and Housing Choice Voucher program residents. The FSS program provides critical tools and supportive services to foster a resident’s transition from financial and housing assistance to economic and housing self-sufficiency, most importantly homeownership.

To support this effort, LACDA utilizes marketing materials to outreach and further promote the program’s requirements and benefits to all public housing residents. For families that are eligible to participate, a Contract of Participation (COP) is prepared to govern the terms and conditions of their participation and an Individual Training Service Plan (ITSP) is created that outlines the following: supportive services to be provided, activities to be completed by the participant, and agreed upon completion dates for the services and activities. The COP is valid for five years and may be extended to allow the family to meet their ITSP goals.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
N/A, LACDA is designated as a High Performing Public Housing Agency. -19-
CITY OF PARAMOUNT 2023-2024 CAPER
CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the Housing Element, and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Paramount continue to be housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City's Strategic Plan calls for the investment of a portion of HOME funds reserved for CHDOs to leverage possible acquisition, rehabilitation and resale activities in conjunction with Housing Asset Funds or other State or local resources. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City continued to leverage its HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources to facilitate additional affordable housing. In future Program Years, the City will also leverage the forthcoming American Rescue Plan HOME funds to facilitate affordable housing development.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry.

To address these obstacles, the City continued to invest CDBG and HOME funds through the 2023-2024 Action Plan in projects that provided assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners for home improvements, projects that provide public and neighborhood services to low- and moderate-income people and projects that prevent homelessness. -20-
CITY OF PARAMOUNT 2023-2024 CAPER
To address underserved needs, the City allocated 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG and HOME funds for program year 2023-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.

The Home Improvement Program provides financing for home improvements necessary to ensure Paramount residents can continue to live in quality housing that is already affordable to the occupants.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. To reduce leadbased paint hazards, the City of Paramount's Home Improvement Program conducted leadbased paint testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978 and incorporated safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) During the Program Year, the City supported the following strategies and actions to reduce the number of poverty-level families:
• Supported activities that ensure equal access to housing opportunities; • Supported activities that improve neighborhoods, facilities & infrastructure; • Supported activities that promote economic opportunity; • Supported activities that preserve the supply of housing that is affordable to lowand moderate-income residents; and • Supported activities that provide services to low-income residents, those with special needs and the homeless.

In addition to these efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contributed to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provided a pathway out of poverty for families who were ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Poverty-level families also had access to CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together these programs provided individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) -21-
CITY OF PARAMOUNT 2023-2024 CAPER
The institutional delivery system in Paramount is high-functioning and collaborative — particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents.

In order to support and enhance this existing institutional structure, the City of Paramount collaborated with nonprofit agencies to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate-income residents were met as envisioned within the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City continued consulting with and inviting a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate-income residents to participate in Paramount - particularly in low- and moderate-income areas.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) Activities implemented during the 2023-2024 Program Year followed the following goals established in the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice that was adopted by the City Council on May 3, 2022:

During the program year, FHF assisted 131 Paramount residents with general fair housing education services throughout the City.

Outreach included two informational booths at community events; four fair housing presentations to community-based organizations, resident associations, and government agencies, and two walk-in clinics tailored to specific audiences, and including mobile home/ manufactured home residents. Topics included federal and state fair housing laws, including protected classes, prohibited practices, and disability accommodations. -23-

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
To ensure that CDBG and HOME funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City provided technical assistance to all subrecipients at least once per year and monitored subrecipients throughout the program year.

Technical Assistance
To enhance compliance with federal program regulations, the Planning Department provided technical assistance to prospective applicants for any CDBG or HOME Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) upon request to review the Strategic Plan goals, program requirements and available resources with potential applicants. Additionally, technical assistance was provided during the implementation of CDBG or HOME funded projects to ensure that appropriate resources were provided in furtherance of compliance with the program regulations.

Activity Monitoring
All activities were monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with an Action Plan goal. This review also examined the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, the intended beneficiaries, and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment list, prevailing wage, Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3 and federal acquisition and relocation regulations, as applicable.

Subrecipients were required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their capacity, and any findings noted in the audit were reviewed with the applicant. Eligible applications were then considered for funding. Neighborhood Services Division staff reviewed quarterly performance reports and invoices throughout the year as part of desk monitoring. For CDBG public service activities, an on-site and teleconference monitoring was conducted to ensure compliance. These reviews will include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activities. The reviews will determine that each subrecipient is in compliance with the program regulations and City contract. Areas of review will include overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals. Following the monitoring visit, a written report will be provided delineating the results of the review and any findings of noncompliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients will be given 30 days to provide -24-
CITY OF PARAMOUNT 2023-2024 CAPER
the City with corrective actions taken to address any noted findings. For CDBG capital projects, monitoring also includes compliance with Regulatory Agreement requirements.

For HOME funded activities, annual monitoring is conducted to ensure compliance on renter occupied units to ensure that household income, rents and utility allowances are in compliance with applicable limits pursuant to the affordability covenant. For ownership units, annual monitoring of occupancy is also conducted throughout the affordability period.

Date: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS FOR

PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENGINEERING DESIGN

SERVICES FOR THE WEST SANTA ANA BIKEWAY (WSAB) TRAIL
– PHASE II PROJECT (CITY PROJECT NO. 9932)

BACKGROUND
The City has been working on the development of the West Santa Ana Bikeway (WSAB) trail, a 2.3-mile trail located within multiple utilities right-of-way that runs diagonally across the city and connect users from the Los Angeles River to the San Gabriel River through the cities of Paramount and Bellflower. The project is being completed in phases. Phase II of the WSAB trail project will be from Somerset Boulevard to Rosecrans Avenue.

The City has been actively working with the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and Chevron, to obtain the necessary approvals and license agreements. To-date, the City has received the Letter of Non-Objection from LADWP to begin construction in the Paramount Park area, while discussions continue for the remaining segments on the LADWP right-of-way. Staff is also working on finalizing the amendment to the license agreement with Chevron. Concurrently, staff has been working with the consultant, Psomas, and its subconsultants, on the environmental and engineering design for WSAB Phase II.

DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2020, the City Council awarded a professional services agreement to Psomas for environmental and engineering design services for the WSAB Phase II project (CIP No 9932). Subsequently, on October 19, 2021, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $135,090 for the re-design of the north parking lot at Paramount Park to accommodate necessary modifications in order to replace existing parking spaces that would be impacted by the WSAB Phase II project.

Construction for this project was awarded on October 24, 2023. Given the fact that the licensing agreement with LADWP is being provided in stages, the final design for this project needs to be reconfigured to accommodate full construction completion also in stages.

Agenda Report October 22, 2024
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS Page 2
The WSAB Phase II design plans will be sub-divided into three (3) separate segments, so that construction can commence at Paramount Park, while the City continues to obtain the necessary approvals from LADWP. Amendment No. 2 to the existing agreement with Psomas will cover the costs and effort to re-format the WSAB Phase II design plans into three segments with updates to the recycled water irrigation plans and planting plans, electrical connectivity for pedestrian lights, and other necessary design features and permitting requirements. The cost for these services is $37,955.

FISCAL IMPACT
The additional cost to modify the design plans into three (3) separate stages for the construction of the WSAB Phase II was not included in the FY 2024-25 budget. However, this work will be covered by the interest income from the Priority Legislative Budget Project (PLBP) Funds Transfer Agreement, through which the City had previously received $2 million to fund project management, construction costs, inspection, testing, and construction management for this project.

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 $38,000 of the interest income from the Priority Legislative Budget Project (PLBP) fund to cover the expense; and 2) Approve Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Psomas in an amount not to exceed $37,955 for engineering redesign services and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the amendment.

SUBJECT: APPROVING A REQUEST BY CATE’S CORNER FOR AN AMENDMENT TO A CITY COUNCIL PERMIT FOR LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AT 8400

ALONDRA BOULEVARD

BACKGROUND
This application is a request by Cate’s Corner for an amendment to a City Council Permit for live entertainment at 8400 Alondra Boulevard in the C-3 (General Commercial) zone.

Cate’s Corner is a sit-down restaurant specializing in burgers, sandwiches, and desserts from Thailand. The property is the Plaza Gamino development at the southeast corner of Alondra Boulevard and Indiana Avenue. The one-acre site is developed with a 12,880 square foot multi-tenant building facing Alondra Boulevard. The business is licensed by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for “Type 41” sales of beer and wine for onsite consumption.

The applicant originally began operating the business as Kate’s Ice Cream in 2018. In December 2021, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 911 to operate a restaurant with beer and wine for onsite consumption. At that time, the business rebranded as Cate’s Corner with business operations Tuesday through Sunday between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

In September 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 22:044 to allow karaoke on Saturdays from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Mondays from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

DISCUSSION
Request
The applicant is requesting an amendment to their City Council Permit to allow extended hours on Saturdays from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and adding Sundays from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The request to extend Saturday live entertainment hours beyond the currently approved closing time of 9:00 p.m. would be contingent upon an amendment to CUP No. 911, which will be processed through an application to the Planning Commission.

Date: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: APPROVING A REQUEST BY MR. J’S BAR FOR A CITY COUNCIL PERMIT FOR LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AT 7824 ALONDRA BOULEVARD

BACKGROUND
This application is a request by Mr. J’s Bar for a City Council Permit for live entertainment (karaoke, DJ, live band) at 7824 Alondra Boulevard in the C-3 (General Commercial) zone. The property is located at the southwest corner of Alondra Boulevard and Colorado Avenue. The 7,500 square foot site is developed with a 1,680 square foot standalone building facing Alondra Boulevard. Construction of a 1,312 square foot addition to the building is underway. The applicant purchased the bar in 2022.

On November 2, 2022, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 921, a request to upgrade from a bar with the sales of beer for onsite consumption to a bar with the sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for onsite consumption. The business is licensed by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for “Type 48” sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits. The purpose of the hearing was to consider the additional sales of full-service liquor, establish new conditions to comply with City regulations, and bring this legal nonconforming business into conformance with zoning regulations.

To enhance the existing structure on the subject site, the Planning Commission required an exterior building façade remodel in compliance with the Central Business District Architectural Guidelines (as stipulated under Section 12.24.050 of the Paramount Municipal Code) as part of the conditions of approval of CUP No. 921. Approval of the proposed addition and the building façade remodel was required prior to the sale of wine and distilled spirits.

In March 2023, the Development Review Board approved Development Review Application (DRA) No. 23:004, a remodel to the exterior of the existing 1,680 square foot building and construct a 1,312 square foot addition. When complete, the gross floor area of the bar will be 2,992 square feet. The proposed addition area will consist of a billiard floor area, walk-in cooler, two restrooms, liquor storage area, and an office. An interior remodel of the existing 1,680 square foot bar includes a new wraparound bar counter with prep area, new seating arrangement, and counter space for alcohol. The 33 indoor customer seats will remain the same.

Agenda Report October 22, 2024
RESOLUTION NO. 24:038 Page 2
Parking
As part of the DRA review, staff conducted a parking analysis based on the vehicle parking requirement of one parking space per three customer seats. Mr. J’s Bar historically operated with 9 parking spaces. With the proposed expansion for the dining area, the applicant reconfigured the onsite parking area for a total of 10 parking spaces.

Additionally, the owner of the bar has reached an agreement with the neighboring Hynes D.E.S. (Portuguese Hall) to allow for overflow parking, which will help effectively manage parking demand. Patrons of Mr. J’s Bar will have access to the entire Hynes D.E.S. parking lot when space is available. A condition of approval requiring the applicant to provide the City with a signed parking agreement regarding Mr. J’s Bar and Hynes D.E.S has been included with the resolution. In cases when Hynes D.E.S. events preclude shared parking, overflow parking from Mr. J’s Bar will be directed to the nearby Town Center West public parking lot to the east of Colorado Avenue and south of Alondra Boulevard.

Live Entertainment
Chapter 5.28 of the Paramount Municipal Code states that a City Council Permit is required for live performances. The applicant is proposing an entertainment package featuring karaoke, live band performances, and DJ sessions that would alternate on different days of the week. With a vision to restore the bar’s former appeal, the applicant aims to introduce dynamic live entertainment that will enhance the atmosphere and attract a broader audience.

The City Council may grant or deny a request for a City Council Permit based on the impact that the proposed use will have on public health, safety, or welfare. The City Council may also impose conditions upon the granting of a City Council Permit to ensure that the use is not in conflict with surrounding land uses.

Request
The applicant is requesting a City Council Permit to allow a variety of live entertainment on each day of the week between the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.

Public Outreach
In July 2024, Planning Department staff along with the owner of the business conducted a neighborhood survey at the properties south of Alondra Boulevard between Colorado Avenue and Vermont Avenue. The purpose of the survey was to gather feedback to assess resident interest about proposed live entertainment, gauge preferences, and understand any concerns about noise, crowd management or potential disruptions. 17 surveys were distributed in the vicinity and were conducted door-to-door. For those households unavailable to take the survey, a copy inviting response, including a link to an online survey, was left.

The Planning Department conducted additional outreach on September 12 to the remaining properties that did not submit a survey, including three properties located on the west side of Vermont Avenue that were not previously surveyed. A Spanish version of the survey was also included as part of this outreach.

In summary, 7 of 20 households completed a survey. Two respondents were opposed to the proposed live entertainment permit. One respondent did not oppose the application provided the City maintains stringent monitoring of noise and neighborhood concerns.

The remaining four respondents voiced either full or moderate support.

DISCUSSION
Law Enforcement Review
As required by the Municipal Code, the Public Safety Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have reviewed the application, and they have several recommendations that the business shall adhere prior to the issuance of this permit.

A security camera system that includes comprehensive views of the interior, exterior, and parking area shall be installed on the premises will be reviewed by the Public Safety Department. Other recommended conditions of approval will prevent music and singing from disturbing neighboring tenants or property owners. Loitering in the parking lot will be expressly prohibited, and all doors will be required to remain closed during the hours of operation except for the entering and exiting of customers and employees.

Initial Recommendation
Based on public feedback and the unknown level of business upon opening, staff recommends introducing live entertainment on two specific days of week (Friday and Saturday) to start. This measured approach will allow monitoring of any potential impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. If no complaints have been received and the business is in good standing, staff will then recommend expanding the live entertainment to additional days at a six-month City Council review. It is recommended as a condition to ensure long-term compliance of the conditions of approval and safeguard the surrounding businesses and neighborhood.

SUBJECT: COST ALLOCATION AND USER FEE STUDY ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND
In 2018, Willdan Financial Services conducted a comprehensive analysis of the City’s User Fees. An in-depth analysis of the City’s User Fees had not been done in recent history and, therefore, was considered a multi-year project. The objective of the User Fee Study was to identify the full cost of fee-related activities and determine the level to which related fee revenue recovers those costs. At the time, the current fee schedule did not reflect the actual costs of certain public services primarily benefiting specific users.

In May 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21:026, approving a new schedule of fees including rates and charges for development application, permit processing, and user fees for other municipal services, which took effect on January 1, 2022.

The comprehensive analysis by Willdan Financial Services of the City’s user fees was based on data between 2018-2021. By the time the new fees took effect in 2022, direct labor costs, central services overhead, and department overhead costs used to calculate the current fees had increased dramatically due to the fast-rising inflation, resulting in the user fees being outdated or under charged.

DISCUSSION
Fees comprise a broad category of locally imposed revenues generally intended to recover all or a portion of the City’s cost for providing its services, accessing its public property, or mitigating the effects of the fee payer’s activities on the City. A City’s fee may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged. Fees are commonly referred to as charges and are called rates in the context of utilities, such as water rates. Generally, there are two broad categories of fees, commonly referred to as user fees and regulatory fees. User fees are for the use of a public service or program whereas regulatory fees are to pay for the cost of a City program, which regulates the activities of the fee payer. All user fees and regulatory fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service, facility, or program.

Agenda Report October 22, 2024
COST ALLOCATION AND USER FEE STUDY ANALYSIS Page 2
The basic concept of a User Fee Study is to determine the “reasonable cost” of each fee service provided by the City to produce a schedule of fees, rates, and charges. When calculated, these allowable costs constitute the fully burdened cost of a service. The fully burdened cost considers direct labor (salaries and benefits), central services overhead, and departmental overhead, including supplies and materials required for each department to function. The City has adopted its user fee schedule to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community at large. To the extent that fee revenues do not cover the full cost of providing services, the difference is subsidized by tax dollars from the City’s General Fund.

Revenue & Cost Specialists
In April 2024, the City commissioned Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC (RCS) for a Cost Allocation Plan and Comprehensive User Fee study to identify the full costs of all operational services that are charged a fee or could be charged a fee. The study outlines a proposed fee structure that recovers costs in the most equitable and efficient way possible. The user fee portion of the study represents how operations are conducted in the City, and may involve flat fees, deposits, valuation-based fees, step-increase fees, or a combination of these.

Cost Allocation Plan
RCS produced a Cost Allocation Plan by calculating the fully burdened hourly rates for employees, which is an effective way to distribute the overhead costs to other funds, departments, and end-user services. The Cost Allocation Plan is a powerful method in capturing the maximum overhead charges to enterprise funds, such as the City’s Water Fund. RCS engaged with City staff to develop the allocation factors for each central service identified, such as payroll, risk management, or facility maintenance. These cost allocation factors formed the basis for determining the fully burdened hourly rates and allocating central service costs.

The cost allocation factors are used for the general overhead component of the Fee Study and can also be used to determine the amounts for transfers to the General Fund for support to other funds. RCS developed the cost allocation factors to easily replicate from year to year but still equitably allocate central service costs. RCS has also provided a computer-based model for adjusting these fees and charges for the City’s current and future needs. The firm has assured City staff that the cost allocation plan is defensible in the event of audits or other challenges.

User Fee Study
As part of the User Fee component, RCS reviewed the staff time and program costs involved with each service and calculated the full cost of services for each fee. RCS Agenda Report October 22, 2024
COST ALLOCATION AND USER FEE STUDY ANALYSIS Page 3
identified 100% of the staff time on 100% of the services provide by staff. This process gives City staff a complete perspective on their time allocations instead of merely looking at time allocations for individual services in a vacuum. These methods will ensure that City staff feels confident about the data and, therefore, confident in supporting the results in public hearings.

The other key result of identifying 100% of City services is that RCS identified not only the cost of fee services, but of community-supported services, such as sheriff, street, and park maintenance services. This allows City staff to dialogue with real numbers with the City Council about any tax subsidy policies. Since the study identifies the full costs of fee services, it also identifies the current subsidy of General Fund and Special Revenue Fund dollars for these services. Therefore, City staff can show the City Council how much fee services are subsidized at the expense of community-supported services.

Summary
During the study process, RCS used only professional principals with more than 20-plus years of experience to conduct user fee study meetings with staff, which makes the process quicker and the results more accurate. The process provided the City with welldocumented and defensible service costs that were used to develop fees that comply with Propositions 4, 218, and 26. The User Fee recommendations included in the final study and master fee resolution are defensible, easy to understand, and can be supported by City staff.

Request for Direction
State law requires that any increase to the City’s user fees must undergo procedural and substantive requirements before the City Council may consider approval of such changes to the user fee schedule. For tonight’s City Council meeting, staff has provided the City Council with the Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee Study for the Council’s review. The intent for this evening’s agenda item is to provide the City Council with an opportunity to offer any feedback, voice any concerns, or clarify any information highlighted in the Study.

Once adopted by the City Council, the new and increased fees could go into effect immediately, except for development fees, which have a 60-day waiting period. To streamline implementation, staff recommends that all adopted fees become effective 60 days after approval. Staff respectfully requests direction from the City Council to further present the recommended User Fee Schedule at the next City Council meeting for approval.

FISCAL IMPACT
No budgetary impact is available at this time.

Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Manager:

This Report is submitted pursuant to our contract with the City to perform a revenue and cost analysis for the City for its services, and this will result in updated user fees for the City of Paramount.

The motivation for this cost of services study is the need of both the City Council and City staff to maintain City’s services at a level commensurate with the standards previously set by the City Council, and to maintain effective policy and management control of City services.

RCS wishes to thank all City department heads and staff for their assistance and cooperation extended to us during the accomplishment of our work, without whose aid this Report could not have been produced. The response, awareness and information gathered and supplied by numerous City employees make this Report the sound one we believe it to be.

Respectfully submitted,

By adopting RCS’ recommendations, far more equity between taxpayers and fee-payers would be gained, and the City’s financial picture would be improved.

Comprehensive Approach
Paramount’s fee study kicked off in January 2024, followed by a series of focused meetings going into the details of every user fee. All the data were reviewed multiple times to ensure confidence by City staff. The draft and final reports were reviewed by Paramount administration from July 2024 through September 2024 This fee study addressed all departments, providing development services, public works, public safety, and administration. This study also produced a cost allocation plan, which calculated the general fund overhead costs.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
5 Pg. 06 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
RCS’ Cost of Services Study did more than calculate the full cost of all city services. This process gave the City an opportunity to add new fees for services which the City is already providing without a fee. We also recommended removal of fees which are no longer valid and modifying some user fee structures to improve city services. Our comprehensive approach includes a review of city fees and their legal feasibility, a discussion of fee invoicing and collections, and conversation of user fee trends and market demands.

RCS highly encourage the City to adopt updated user fees based on our study, as our findings include fees that are grossly subsidized, no longer valid, can be legally challenged or currently inefficient to use.

6 Pg. 07 CHAPTER I – BACKGROUND OF STUDY
CHAPTER I – BACKGROUND OF
STUDY Impact of Propositions 13, 4, 218 and 26
Proposition 13 passed by California voters in 1978, forever changing city budgets. Prior to 1978, cities and counties balanced their budgets with a property tax formula. The property tax which property owners paid could increase dramatically year over year, creating hardship for those with fixed incomes. Proposition 13 capped property tax rates at 1%, with annual inflation increase no more than 2%. The passage of Proposition 13 immediately reduced property tax payments from homes, businesses and farms by 57%.

The following year, Proposition 4 was passed primarily to clean up language related to taxes and appropriations limits after the wake of Proposition 13. However, there is one phrase in section 8(c) of the proposition text which better defines user charges and user fees. “Proceeds of taxes” shall include, but not be restricted to, all tax revenues and the proceeds to an entity of government, from (1) regulatory licenses, user charges, and user fees to the extent that those proceeds exceed the costs reasonably borne by that entity in providing the regulation, product, or service…” City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
7 Pg. 08 CHAPTER I – BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Restated, any proceeds from user charges and user fees which exceed the “costs reasonably borne” are considered taxes. The legal ability for government agencies to charge fees in California in the wake of all of the changes wrought by Proposition 13 comes out of that little phrase. The importance, and the deeper meaning, is detailed in this section of the author’s intent documents:
“The phrase ‘costs reasonably borne by such entity in providing the regulation, product, or service’ is intended to incorporate all appropriations by an entity for reasonable costs appropriate for the continuation of service over time. This includes ongoing expenses such as operation costs and a reasonable allocation for overhead and administration, but it also includes responsible allocations for capital replacement, expansion of services, and repayment of related bond issuances would be considered ‘costs reasonably borne’.”
Then, Proposition 218, passed in 1996 and becoming Articles XIIIC & D, further restricting municipal utility rates charged on property owners. Prop 13, 4 and 218 have had, and will continue to have, a profound effect on California governments.

But it was left to the passage of Proposition 26, passed in 2010, to codify many of the fee setting practices of the previous 30 years. Article XIII C of the State Constitution was amended to formally declare that fees are not considered taxes if they do not exceed the reasonable costs of the service.

Government Code Section 66014 further defined that statement for development fees.

Some of the types of services for which reasonable fees are allowable are:

A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.

A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.

A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof.

Article XIII C also provides that a local government agency must demonstrate that the amount of revenue to be generated by a fee is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
8 Pg. 09 CHAPTER I – BACKGROUND OF STUDY
governmental activity supported by the fee, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Therefore, a fee on liquor store owners to fund an alcohol education program would not be allowed.

While Proposition 26 was built on the foundations of Propositions 4 and 218, it provided a sharper definition of the reach and limits of service fees, and the courts have looked to it when reviewing fee challenges.

Legal Approach to Cost of Services Study
This report presents the analytical advantages which are available to the City through the institution of a comprehensive system designed by RCS to implement Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.

Systematic and Documented Approach. This analysis was designed to provide the City with a systematic and documented approach to understand, control, and recapture the costs which are forced on it by normal service demands, growth and general economic inflation.

Constitutional Methodology. The methodology used for this analysis is the "costs reasonably borne" test established by Section 8(c) of Proposition 4, now Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. In following that process, RCS has analyzed the ways in which City services can be financed more equitably to assure the City's future financial viability.

Full Business Costs Determined. The methodology followed by both the Authors of Proposition 4, and consequently by RCS, determines the full business cost of providing the reported City services.

It also identifies the beneficiaries of those services and determines if they are paying in relationship to benefits derived or if they are deserving of a subsidy paid from the taxes paid by all local citizens and businesses. Thus, the City Council will have full knowledge and cannot ignore costs which are actually occurring.

Financial Integrity Established. This text summarizes the work accomplished and presents recommendations. These recommendations, if implemented, would firmly establish the financial integrity of the analyzed City services and would establish a continuing cost control system following the business principles which are generally espoused for government, but often are ignored in application.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
10 Pg. 11 CHAPTER II – CALCULATING THE FULL COSTS
CHAPTER II – CALCULATING THE FULL
COSTS
There are three basic steps in the process used by RCS to identify and cost out service centers. The first step is to identify the services offered by the City. Next, the service costs are calculated.

Finally, the revenue currently received is matched to the cost of providing the service to determine if there is a subsidy from taxes.

Identifying Service Centers
Two techniques were utilized to identify the service centers for which revenue and cost data were gathered and around which the service cost analysis of this Report is built.

Revenue Analysis. The first technique involved gathering revenue information for the past fiscal year, and then updating and revising the budget estimates for the same revenue sources for the fiscal year during which the analysis was performed by RCS. The Budget and financial reports for the current fiscal year were secured and analyzed. Budgeted and received revenues for all feesupported services were extracted from those reports, where such information was available. RCS has divided services into far smaller "service centers" than the City has traditionally designated.

Service Center Identification. The second technique involved several scheduled meetings with City staff to identify each type of service being provided with or without charge. In a series of meetings held with City staff, department by department, RCS developed a comprehensive list of services, and then allocated staff time to the appropriate services. This service time was refined over the course of these meetings until all available staff time was allocated and represented an accurate allocation.

Resultant Service Centers
"Service Center" Defined. The "service revenue," fee or charge for a service, and the related "service cost" comprise a "service center". Each service center has a unique "Revenue and Cost Summary Worksheet" and a matching "Cost Detail Worksheet”, which are found in Appendix B of this Report. These "Service Center Worksheets" are matched to one another on facing pages.

Detailed Back-Up Workpapers. The costs are backed up by detailed analyses, which have been turned over to the City in several volumes of work papers and detailed cost distribution reports.

Basis for Cost of Services
The costs determined by RCS for the various service centers are based on the definitions of “costs reasonably borne” as utilized in Article XIIIB (Proposition 4) and as further defined by its Authors City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
11 Pg. 12 CHAPTER II – CALCULATING THE FULL COSTS
in their background documents. The Authors of Proposition 4 intended their full business costing definitions to be used by California governments. Thus, the City can know and control its costs, using those Constitutionally-set business principles and legally set elements and definitions of “costs reasonably borne”.

Listing of Detailed Full Business Cost Definitions. Thus, the following are put forward by the Authors as the accepted elements of "costs reasonably borne":
a) Labor costs
b) Employee benefit costs
c) Operational services and supply expenses
d) Overhead expense
e) Administrative costs
f) Start-up costs
g) Future capital expenses
h) Capital replacement expense
i) Costs of expansion of services
j) Repayment of debt
Authors' Background. It is not surprising that the authors used such business definitions and elements of "cost" as quoted herein. They represented several known business organizations:

The California Taxpayers Association
The California Chamber of Commerce
The National Tax Limitation Committee
The California Association of Realtors
In effect, the pillars of California business and their thinking were represented, and their ideas were adopted overwhelmingly by the electorate of California at referendum. Thus, by definition, the premises of this report process have a California electoral mandate.

Principle Involved. A basic principle involved in this report was the recognition of those full business costs as used and as defined by the authors of the Constitutional amendment.

Types of Costs
The following costs, identified above as part of "costs reasonably borne" by the Authors of Proposition 4, make up the cost detail found on the right-hand page in Appendix B for each service center.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
12 Pg. 13 CHAPTER II – CALCULATING THE FULL COSTS
Salaries and Wages. City government is in fact a service industry, and therefore, it is natural that salaries make up the largest single element of cost for most services. In order to allocate the salaries, lengthy interviews were held, documents sought and researched, and reports and accounting records examined by RCS. The result was, in most cases, a percentage or hours distribution of individual employee personal services costs.

To validate the
reasonableness of
the Study, 100% of
the available work
hours for all City
employees were
distributed and
accounted for,
To validate the reasonableness of the Study, 100% of the available work hours for all City employees were distributed and accounted for, even if it’s not public serving. In other words, one staff member cannot state they overworked on fee services beyond 100% of their hours, and another staff member cannot account for 100% of their time. No judgments were made about what personnel should or might be doing. Their time was distributed to those service centers where the time was expended.
even if it’s not
Employee Fringe Benefits. Since fractional time, to as low as three minutes per unit of service or one-twentieth of a percent of the annual time of an employee has been allocated to service centers, fringe benefit costs also must be fractionalized to carefully and accurately distribute those ancillary personnel costs.
public serving.

The City finances numerous benefits for its employees, thereby incurring measurable costs for these items, including:

Retirement and Social Security
Group Health Insurance
Survivor Benefits
Life Insurance
Long Term Disability and Accidental Death and Disability Pension Trust
Deferred Compensation Plan
Medicare Insurance
All of these costs are current operating expenses, and the amounts were isolated. Actual costs were determined and reduced to a percentage of salary for each of the positions.

Available Work-Hours. After the individual elements of cost for positions was compiled, the total cost for each position was divided by the number of available work-hours. Available work hours were calculated as the total possible work-hours in a year, 1,654, less the following away-fromwork benefit hours:

Holidays

Vacations

Sick Leave
Morning/Afternoon Breaks
Start Up/Down Time
Maintenance and Operation Costs. All maintenance and operation costs, including non-personnel expenses such as professional services, insurance, operating supplies etc., were derived from the current year Council-approved budget and allocated via percentages or through actual allocation to each of the service centers identified in a department or division.

General and Departmental Overhead Costs. Overhead costs provide the vital glue that holds an organization together operationally and provide important coordinating capabilities. They also provide the day-to-day support services and facilities required for the organization to function effectively. RCS calculated the city’s Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) to identify and allocate these costs to the remainder of the City organization. In the CAP, costs were allocated to end-user departments and divisions by applying an agreed-upon overhead allocation factor. Each factor was related to the work effort of its particular overhead element and was assessed for relevance and reasonableness.

Full Cost Distribution. The purpose of deriving overhead costs to apportion these amounts to direct service program costs. By adopting this method, the City will be aware of its true costs and be able to emulate business methods. Article XIIIB’s (Proposition 4 of 1979) authors intended this, defining as part of “costs reasonably borne” a calculated “reasonable allocation for overhead and administration.”

General City Overhead. These services primarily set policy and support other departments without providing a deliverable service to the public. Where they do perform an end-user service, such costs have not been allocated to other departments.

Departmental Administration. Costs in this category involve intra-departmental support functions, outside the above listed general City overhead functions, and involve the allocation of staff time within and among departmental functions. These services also do not provide end-user deliverables to the public, but instead provide vital administrative support within specific departments.

Comparing Full Costs to Revenue Sources
Local government funding for city services comes from a multitude of revenue sources such as taxes, fines, grants, use of property, user fees, utility rates, etc. Our Study accounts for all revenues and focuses on the relationship between fees and taxes. As an example, [S-001] CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT in the following schedule estimates the full costs at $92,487. These expenses are offset by current fee revenues of $21,250, and $71,237 of the City’s limited tax revenues must be used to pay for the remaining. The city is currently recovering 23.0% from these CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT fees, and to the extent that fees are NOT increased, general City taxes paid by all taxpayers are the only alternative revenue source.

RECOMMENDATIONS Service Groups
RCS has organized Personal Choice Services into the following service groups for purposes of discussion:

1. Development Services

2. Public Safety

3. Community Services

4. Maintenance

5. Administration
These groups, explained in turn, are program oriented. Each group includes a table summarizing the revenues and costs of each service. The table summarizing the group tables is found at the end of this Chapter.

Appendix A, following the text, summarizes the current fees and the proposed fees for each of the Personal Choice service centers.

Service Center details found in Appendix B, are in sequence by the Reference Number (Column 1 on each of the following Tables), include detail information for each service on two facing pages.

The left page has textual and summary information including RCS’s suggested service fee. The right page has the service cost detail.

Explanation of Table Columns
Each table has eight columns, explained here:

Column 1 is the Report Reference Number.

Column 2 is the title of the service.

Columns 3, 4 & 5 are the same amounts for revenue, cost and profit (subsidy) found on the left page of the detail service sheets in Appendix B.

Column 6 is the current percentage of costs recovered from the user fees and charges with the difference being subsidized by taxes.

Column 7 is the percentage of user fee cost recovery which might be obtainable without tax subsidy. Of course, decisions regarding tax subsidies to a service are a City Council policy decision on how to allocate its tax and general revenues.

Column 8 contains the estimated amount of revenues which RCS suggests could be raised or reduced.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
21 Pg. 22 CHAPTER III – COST RECOVERY RECOMMENDATIONS
Special Circumstances
The table also footnotes which identify special circumstances for some fees. For a service that is marked (a), there is insufficient data to determine the financial impact. When a service is marked (b), the fee is deposit based and financial estimations are not possible. Services marked (c), are restricted by law, and cannot be adjusted for full cost recovery. Services marked (d), are market sensitive. Finally, services marked (d) are suggested to be removed from the City’s fee schedule for various reasons.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
22 Pg. 23 CHAPTER III – COST RECOVERY RECOMMENDATIONS
Development Services
When basic City development services are supported by general taxes, there is little reason for taxes to also finance those Personal Choice services which mainly benefit a developer or specific property owner. Thus, the expenses distributed across these service centers are primarily the incremental additional expenses caused by development. Were no development to take place, most of these costs could be eliminated, or at least significantly reduced.

This report recommends that Community Service cost recovery goals be set as a percentage of revenues over direct costs, excluding indirect costs. This practice is quite common in local government operations, not because indirect costs do not exist and are not important, but rather to ensure that the cost recovery goals remain relevant, market competitive, and are easily reproducible.

The infrequency of annual CPI fee updates or irregular comprehensive fee studies cannot meet the timing and pricing demands of the services offered by Community Services (i.e.. seasonal facility rental rates & new aquatics programs). It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to set Parks and Recreation fees, as recommended by the Community Services Director, on a quarterly basis. Community Services fees cannot be adjusted more than twice per year, and must be noticed 30 days prior to taking effect. The City Manager will summarize the fee adjustments, and overall effect of those adjustments, to the City Council within the annual budget process, so that City Council may provide future policy guidance on program cost recovery and service levels.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
26 Pg. 27 CHAPTER III – COST RECOVERY RECOMMENDATIONS
Social Policy. The City Council should develop a conscious policy as to what programs and service centers, and to what extent, should be subsidized with tax monies in promoting social benefit. It may well be that some level of subsidy for many of the services identified in this group is not only necessary, but also appropriate. If that is deemed to be the case, subsidy levels can be set as part of a budgetary or programmatic policy statement. These policy statements can also explicitly describe the social reasoning involved in the decision-making process.

ALL FEE SERVICES $4,719,123 $16,191,580 ($11,472,457) 29.1% $810,350 If all the recommendations made in this Chapter and suggested fees in Appendix A are adopted, the City would raise $810,350 on an annual basis.

The above table shows that the City is subsidizing $11,472,457 of Personal Choice Services with City tax dollars. Should the City Council feel that tax dollars are insufficient, or use for different purposes, this chapter has shown that there are opportunities to either increase the user fees or lower the cost of Personal Choice Services.

A Master Fee Resolution
RCS recommends that the City adopt a Master Fee Resolution which the Finance Department updates and the City Council adopts annually. RCS will work with Finance to help implement this Resolution.

Policy Regarding “New” Services
RCS also recommends that the City Council adopt a policy of not starting any new service without a cost analysis, using the costing approach utilized in this Report, so as to determine ways in which the service could be fee-financed, if at all possible. This approach could be used when considering new parks or public buildings, improved police protection, or any other desired function or service.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
30 Pg. 31 CHAPTER IV – CONCLUSION
CHAPTER IV –
RCS has subjected the City's operations to a detailed analysis seeking alternate and more equitable CONCLUSION ways to finance its services. This report presents the analytical advantages which are available to the City through the institution of a comprehensive system designed by RCS to implement Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.

Elimination of Subsidies
This Report highlights and recommends that most tax subsidies be eliminated as being unintentional. Service users thus can vote with their dollars and not use a service for which they are unwilling or unable to pay. Hidden subsidies, which have existed for many of the City’s supposedly self-financed and self-supporting services, can now be re-evaluated.

Result of Acceptance of Fee Suggestions
If RCS’ suggested fee recommendations are adopted, then a significant amount of added revenues will be available to the City, which would provide taxpayer equity. Most of these new revenues will be from fee increases to replace tax monies used to make up the difference between fees collected and costs incurred in providing the services, which will then be available for those services which can only be funded from taxes.

These tax "diversions" are the now-documented tax subsidies to potentially self-supporting City services. Thus, additional monies could be made available for police services, infrastructure maintenance, and other City services which are not generally conducive to service charges, thereby achieving much closer equity between benefits and associated payments.

Policy Guidance. More importantly, the Council would be able to make its decisions based on business principles as much as is possible.

Understanding of Equitable Charging for Government. The City Council now has to assist its constituents to understand that under the California Constitution the intent is that:

Taxes finance services for which there is no alternative way to finance them.

Service charges should be utilized to finance those things for which benefits can be determined.

Beneficiaries of such services be charged in direct relationship to the benefits derived.

City of Paramount Cost of Services Study
31 Pg. 32 CHAPTER IV – CONCLUSION
Final Thoughts
The City has appropriately responded to the mandate and spirit of Proposition 4. It is utilizing the passage of Propositions 4, 13 and 218 and the attention given to them as an opportunity to review its financial structure and philosophy, and to institute a businesslike cost control system, tailored to the City's needs, to supplement its governmental accounting and budgeting systems.

The cooperation, excellent support and data provided in accomplishment of the work reported herein speaks well of the way in which a City organization can adapt to the so-called "new realities" of California governmental finance.
