SUBJECT: ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT WITH CHEVRON PIPELINE RELATED

TO THE WEST SANTA ANA BRANCH (WSAB) BIKEWAY TRAIL (CITY PROJECT NO. 9932)

BACKGROUND
For a number of years, the City has been pursuing funding 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. The project has been planned in phases, allowing the City to request funding from different sources and negotiate the various lease agreements in order to complete the approximate 2.3-mile trail that connects users from the Los Angeles River to the San Gabriel River through the cities of Paramount and Bellflower. Phase II Section 1 of this WSAB trail is currently in construction and City needs to complete an encroachment agreement with Chevron Pipeline given that pipelines exist along sections of the trail and the reconfigured parking lot area.

DISCUSSION
Phase I from Lakewood Boulevard to Somerset Boulevard has already been constructed.

The other three phases are as follows: Phase II will run from Somerset Boulevard to Rosecrans Avenue; Phase III will be from Rosecrans Avenue to Garfield Avenue; and Phase IV will be from Garfield Avenue to the Los Angeles River. Construction is currently underway for Phase II along the north side of Paramount Park. Since there are existing Chevron pipelines that traverse through a section of the construction area, an encroachment agreement was needed, which would allow the City to construct the WSAB trail and sections of the parking lot above the Chevron pipelines. The encroachment agreement highlights conditions that the City must follow to not interfere with existing Chevron operations, including access to their underground pipelines at all times.

Chevron recognizes the importance of this project and has concurrently been working with staff to prepare the encroachment agreement while being involved with construction activities. The draft agreement is attached for reference. Once the encroachment agreement is executed, the document will be submitted for County recording.

SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF

THE ART STATUES AT PARAMOUNT POND AND CITY HALL

MEMORIAL PLAZA

BACKGROUND
At the July 8, 2025 City Council meeting, City Council approved a budget adjustment of $76,890 to repair and/or replace five bronze statues that had been damaged or stolen this past May 2025, from the Paramount Pond, located on the northeast corner of Paramount Boulevard and Jackson Street, and at the City Hall’s Memorial Plaza. City Council also authorized the National Sculptors’ Guild to perform the sculpture replacement/repair work. The City has recently obtained an updated cost from the National Sculptors’ Guild in the amount of $105,195 after having the foundry closely inspect the damaged sculptures. There is additional work needed to properly repair and reinforce the damaged pieces. Also, the Battlefield Cross sculpture is not repairable after all, so it must be recast in the original foundry. Due to these additional costs, a budget adjustment is necessary to proceed. The National Sculptors’ Guild has been working closely with the City to expedite the return of the new /repaired sculptures in time for the City’s Veterans Day and Christmas Tree Lighting ceremonies.

DISCUSSION
During the theft incidents, a total of five art sculptures were vandalized and/or stolen.

Below is a list of the damaged and/or missing statues for ease of reference, and a brief description of the extent of repair and/or replacement work needed:

Location: Paramount Pond
• “Speedskater” – repair and recast severed section(s)
• “Polished Performance” (figure skater) – repair and recast severed section(s) • “Come On, Dad” (father and son sitting on the bench) – repair and recast severed • section(s)
• “Crack the Whip” (one of two statues) – recast and replace stolen statue Agenda Report August 26, 2025
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF THE ART STATUES Page 2
Location: City Hall Memorial Plaza
• “Armed Forces Memorial” – recast and replace damaged statue due to extent of damage; cannot be repaired

FISCAL IMPACT
An additional appropriation in the amount of $28,305 from the Art Fund is necessary to address the additional expense related to the repair and recasting of the sculptures. If approved, the total Funding for the repair and replacement cost will be increased from $76,890 to $105,195 in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget.

Fund Department Account Service Description Amount
Public Art Public Works 292-96-76-7146 Repair and replacement of Five Art Pieces
$105,195
Staff is completing the claims process with the City’s insurance carrier to reflect the increased cost. The City’s policy carries a $10,000 deductible per incident. Once the claim is approved, the City will receive payment from the insurance carrier and the funds (minus deductible) will be deposited back to the Art Fund.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Appropriate an additional $28,305 from the Art Fund for the necessary repairs and recasting of the damaged/stolen bronze statues by National Sculptors' Guild, for a total amount not to exceed $105,195.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS FOR

PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENGINEERING DESIGN

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

BACKGROUND
The City has been working on the development of the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) bikeway 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 bikeway trail will be from Somerset Boulevard to Rosecrans Avenue. The City has been working concurrently to secure the necessary approvals and license agreements with Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and Chevron. Section 1 of the WSAB Phase II is currently in construction, which traverses through the north side of Paramount Park.

DISCUSSION
In March 2020, the City Council awarded a professional services agreement in the amount of $685,866 to Psomas for environmental and engineering design services for the WSAB Phase II project (City Project No. 9932). Since that time, the City Council has approved subsequent amendments to the original agreement as the project progressed, as listed below.
• October 2021 (Amendment No. 1): Increased consideration amount by an additional $135,090 for the re-design of the north parking lot at Paramount Park to accommodate necessary modifications to replace existing parking spaces that would be impacted by the WSAB Phase II project.
• October 2022 (Amendment No. 2): Increased consideration amount by an additional $37,955 for Psomas to re-format WSAB Phase II design plans into three (3) separate segments, so that construction can commence at Paramount Park, while the City continues to obtain the necessary approvals.

Agenda Report August 26, 2025
AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS Page 2
Since construction for WSAB Phase II at Paramount Park has begun, Psomas has been regularly attending project status meetings, responding to Request for Information (RFIs) from the contractor, preparing the necessary exhibits as required by Chevron, and providing as-needed engineering design support for this project. As the designers for the project, the agreement will need to be further amended to account for additional time needed for Psomas to continue responding to RFIs and provide design related support for the remainder of the WSAB Phase II project.

The additional estimated cost for Psomas’s continued support for the remainder of the WSAB Phase II project is $212,460 and the City will be billed as services are rendered.

FISCAL IMPACT
Any necessary budget modifications for this project will be included as part of the midyear budget process.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Amendment No. 3 to the agreement with Psomas for an additional amount not to exceed $212,460 for engineering design services and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the Amendment.

SUBJECT: 2025 PARAMOUNT HOMELESS CENSUS
The City of Paramount has contracted with City Net to conduct a homeless census, which aims to establish a baseline number of individuals living without housing. This baseline serves as a reference point for evaluating the City’s homelessness prevention and intervention efforts. Additionally, the census provides demographic data, assets, and other unique characteristics of individuals experiencing homelessness to better inform resource allocation.

City Net carried out the 2025 Paramount Homeless Census on two occasions: early in the morning on June 24 and late in the evening on June 26, 2025. This census is a distinct but complementary project to the HUD-mandated county-wide Point-in-Time Count. The City-specific census allows for a more focused approach, utilizing additional time, staff resources, and tailored questions that go beyond those typically included in the Point-inTime Count. During tonight’s City Council meeting, Mr. Matt Bates, Vice President of City Net, will present the final report for the 2025 Paramount Homeless Census.

SUBJECT: PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR ACQUISITION OF HAY TREE PROPERTY (APNS 7102-027-019 & 020) AND CONVEYANCE OF

ACCESS EASEMENT TO PARAMOUNT GENERAL HOSPITAL

BACKGROUND
At the March 11, 2025 City Council meeting, City Council approved Resolution 25:009 authorizing the acquisition by eminent domain of the fee interest in the Hay Tree Property (Assessor Parcel Nos. 7102-027-019 & 020) in connection with the Civic Center Improvement Project. The City’s intent in seeking to acquire the Hay Tree Property is to use the parcel for public use, namely for preservation of a historic resource, improvement of public parking facilities, and improvements to existing public facilities and public recreation space. Adjacent to the Hay Tree is a private property (located at 16493 Paramount Blvd) with a vacant building formerly known as Paramount Saw. Through the City’s Development and Disposition Agreement with that property owner, once the Paramount Saw renovations are completed over the next year, the City will occupy approximately one-third of the building for a community room, kitchenette, restrooms, a City historic museum, and an event area for the community. The Hay Tree Property will add great value by providing more space for outdoor enjoyment and complement that new City recreational use.

DISCUSSION
Prior to the City Council’s approval of Resolution 25:009, pursuant to Government Code Section 7260, et seq., the City obtained a fair market value appraisal of the Hay Tree Property. The City set just compensation for the Hay Tree Property in accordance with the fair market value. The City extended a written offer to the property owner (Paramount General Hospital Company) pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2. The City has engaged in good faith negotiations for the acquisition of the Hay Tree Property and has negotiated the attached final agreement for the purchase of the Hay Tree Property at a price of $700,000.

Included in the proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement is a closing condition that requires the City to convey an access easement to the seller, Paramount General Hospital Co., over the driveway at Civic Center Drive off of Paramount Blvd. The Hospital wanted to ensure that, after closing, the City did not close this point of entry for the Agenda Report August 26, 2025
SALE AGREEMENT & EASEMENT – HAY TREE PROPERTY Page 2
Hospital. The northerly access driveway/area that the hospital uses to gain entry onto the Hospital grounds is partly on the Hay Tree Property and partly on another adjacent Cityowned parcel. It is very unlikely that the City would ever close that portion of the driveway as that would block access to City Hall. Staff supports granting access to the Hospital over this parcel for the purposes of accessing their property. The Hospital has agreed to cover the cost of the legal description for the access easement using the City’s surveyor.

The access easement within the purchase and sale agreement is still in draft form pending completion of the legal description to confirm the configuration of the easement. Staff recommends approving the easement in a form approved by the City Attorney so as not to further delay the purchase of the property. The finalization of the easement will be made a condition of closing.

This proposed purchase of the Hay Tree Property will allow the City to have more control over and provide a more supportive environment for this historic landmark. In addition, the City will make improvements to the surrounding open space to provide outdoor community event space. Proposed improvements include a dining platform with overhead structure and integrated lighting adjacent to the Saw Building, flexible lawn space, lighting, signage, a mural and public art, as well as walkways and seating areas with picnic tables. The outdoor community space is intended to support community and cultural programming and activities/events. These improvements would be within the larger open space area. The physical improvements would not be constructed directly adjacent to the Hay Tree.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s FY 2025-26 budget has $881,000 budgeted for the Hay Tree acquisition. This cost will cover the purchase and sale of the property for $700,000 and the associated legal and real estate transaction fees.

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
Approve the attached purchase and sale agreement for the Hay Tree Property, including the access easement; and authorize the City Manager to make additional minor edits to the draft easement that do not increase the purchase price until it is finalized. -1-

(a) Property acquired by a public entity by any means set forth in subdivision (e) that is subject to a resolution of necessity adopted pursuant to this article shall only be used for the public use stated in the resolution unless the governing body of the public entity adopts a resolution authorizing a different use of the property by a vote of at least two-thirds of all members of the governing body of the public entity, or a greater vote as required by statute, charter, or ordinance. The resolution shall contain all of the following:

(2) A description of the general location and extent of the property proposed to be used for the new use, with sufficient detail for reasonable identification. (3) A declaration that the governing body has found and determined each of the following:
(A) The public interest and necessity require the proposed use.

(C) The property described in the resolution is necessary for the proposed use. (b) Property acquired by a public entity by any means set forth in subdivision (e) that is subject to a resolution of necessity pursuant to this article, and is not used for the public use stated in the resolution of necessity within 10 years of the adoption of the resolution of necessity, shall be sold in accordance with the terms of subdivisions (f) and (g), unless the governing body adopts a resolution according to the terms of subdivision (a) or a resolution according to the terms of this subdivision reauthorizing the existing stated public use of the property by a vote of at least two-thirds of all members of the governing body of the public entity or a greater vote as required by statute, charter, or ordinance.

(c) In addition to any notice required by law, the notice required for a new or reauthorization resolution sought pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) shall comply with Section 1245.235 and shall be sent to each person who was given notice required by Section 1245.235 in connection with the original acquisition of the property by the public entity.
(d) Judicial review of an action pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) may be obtained by a person who had an interest in the property described in the resolution at the time that the property was acquired by the public entity, and shall be governed by Section 1085.
(e) The following property acquisitions are subject to the requirements of this section:
(1) Any acquisition by a public entity pursuant to eminent domain. (2) Any acquisition by a public entity following adoption of a resolution of necessity pursuant to this article for the property.
(3) Any acquisition by a public entity prior to the adoption of a resolution of necessity pursuant to this article for the property, but subsequent to a written notice that the public entity may take the property by eminent domain. (f) If the public entity fails to adopt either a new resolution pursuant to subdivision (a) or a reauthorization resolution pursuant to subdivision (b), as required by this section, and that property was not used for the public use stated in a resolution of necessity adopted pursuant to this article or a resolution adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) between the time of its acquisition and the time of the public entity’s failure to adopt a resolution pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b), the public entity shall offer the person or persons from whom the property was acquired the right of first refusal to purchase the property pursuant to this section, as follows:
(1) At the present market value, as determined by independent licensed appraisers. (2) For property that was a single-family residence at the time of acquisition, at an affordable price, which price shall not be greater than the price paid by the agency for the original acquisition, adjusted for inflation, and shall not be greater than fair market value, if the following requirements are met:
(A) The person or persons from whom the property was acquired certify their income to the public entity as persons or families of low or moderate income.

(C) If the single-family residence is offered at a price that is less than fair market value, the public entity shall impose terms, conditions, and restrictions to ensure that the residence will either:
(i) Remain owner-occupied by the person or persons from whom the property was acquired for at least five years.
(ii) Remain available to persons or families of low or moderate income and households with incomes no greater than the incomes of the present occupants in proportion to the area median income for the longest feasible time, but for not less than 55 years for rental units and 45 years for home ownership units. (D) The Department of Housing and Community Development shall provide to the public entity recommendations of standards and criteria for those prices, terms, conditions, and restrictions.
(g) If after a diligent effort the public entity is unable to locate the person from whom the property was acquired, if the person from whom the property was acquired does not choose to purchase the property as provided in subdivision (f), or if the public entity fails to adopt a resolution as required pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) but is not required to offer a right of first refusal pursuant to subdivision (f), the public entity shall sell the property as surplus property pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with Section 54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code.
(h) If residential property acquired by a public entity by any means set forth in subdivision (e) is sold as surplus property pursuant to subdivision (g), and that property was not used for the public use stated in a resolution of necessity adopted pursuant to this article or a resolution adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) between the time of its acquisition and the time of its sale as surplus property, the public entity shall pay to the person or persons from whom the public entity acquired the property the sum of any financial gain between the original acquisition price, adjusted for inflation, and the final sale price.
(i) Upon completion of any acquisition described in subdivision (e) or upon the adoption of a resolution of necessity pursuant to this section, whichever is later, the public entity shall give written notice to the person or persons from whom the property was acquired as described in subdivision (e) stating that the notice, right of first refusal, and return of financial gain rights discussed in this section may accrue. (j) At least 60 days before selling the property pursuant to subdivision (g), the public entity shall make a diligent effort to locate the person from whom the property was acquired. At any time before the proposed sale, the person from whom the property was acquired may exercise the rights provided by this section. As used in this section, “diligent effort” means that the public entity has done all of the following:
(1) Mailed the notice of the proposed sale by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of the person from whom the property was acquired. (2) Mailed the notice of the proposed sale by certified mail, return receipt requested, to each person with the same name as the person from whom the property was acquired at any other address on the last equalized assessment roll. (3) Published the notice of the proposed sale pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the city or county in which the property is located.
(4) Posted the notice of the proposed sale in at least three public places within the city or county in which the property is located.
(5) Posted the notice of the proposed sale on the property proposed to be sold. (k) For purposes of this section, “adjusted for inflation” means the original acquisition price increased to reflect the proportional increase in the Consumer Price Index for all items for the State of California, as determined by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the period from the date of acquisition to the date the property is offered for sale.
