Discussion:

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency is a Public Housing Agency (PHA) that receives federal funding to administer the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) rental assistance program. The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program is administered under the Section 8 rental assistance program. The FSS program is a plan developed by Section 8 participants by setting goals that lead to self-sufficiency. Every time their income increases due to their progress, so does their rent portion. The FSS program matches the increase and deposits it into an escrow account. Participants may graduate and collect the escrow savings if they meet their goals, obtain a full-time job, and are free from welfare assistance at the time of graduation. 1 HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2023 PUBLIC HEARING – PICO RIVERA HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGENCY REVISION OF

III. C. – Estimate of Participating Families
Estimate of Participating Families
Over time, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency hopes to serve all families who are interested in participating in the FSS Program. The number of spaces available in the program at any given time, however, will be limited by the program’s resources, including the number of FSS coordinators funded to work with FSS participants. New families will be admitted to the FSS program as space permits.

Minimum Program Size. In accordance with CFR §984.105, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency has a remaining FSS program mandate to serve 2 families. This is calculated based on the table below. This is our best estimate at this time, and it includes the mandate for both the Public Housing program and the HCV program and counts graduates from both programs.

C. Screening for motivation.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will not use any motivational screening factors to measure a family’s interest and motivation to participate in the FSS program.

D. Compliance with nondiscrimination policies
It is the policy of the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency to comply with all Federal, State, and local nondiscrimination laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Fair Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. No person shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under the FSS program on the grounds of race, color, sex, religion, national or ethnic origin, family status, source of income, disability or perceived gender identity and sexual orientation. In addition, Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency’s FSS staff will, upon request, provide reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities to ensure they are able to take advantage of the services provided by the FSS program (see Requests for Reasonable Accommodations).

The FSS program staff has the primary responsibility to make sure that participants are not discriminated against in the selection process. For families or individuals whose potential enrollment is in question, the FSS coordinators will review the file in the staff review meeting to ensure that non-selection is not based on discriminatory factors before the final decision is made. Applicants will be notified in writing of the reason(s) they were not selected for participation and will have the opportunity to appeal the decision (see Hearing Procedures). At all times, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will select families for participation in the FSS program in accordance with FSS Regulations and HUD guidelines.

Outreach efforts will be targeted equally to all families, using materials in both English and other commonly spoken languages to ensure that non-English and limited English-speaking families receive information and have the opportunity to participate in the FSS Program. In conducting outreach, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will account for the needs of person with disabilities, including persons with impaired vision, hearing or mobility, and provide effective communications to ensure that all eligible who wish to participate are able to do so.

VI. FSS Escrow Account and Other Incentives for Participants FSS Escrow Account and Other Incentives for Participants FSS participants will be eligible to build savings from the FSS escrow account. Key policies and procedures applicable to the FSS escrow account, as well as any additional incentives offered by the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency, are described below.

11 VIII. Method of Identifying Family Support Needs and Delivering Appropriate Support Services
Method of Identifying Family Support Needs and Delivering Appropriate Support Services
A. Identifying Family Support Needs
To help determine the supportive services needs of each family, the FSS coordinator will work with the family to complete an initial informal needs assessment for that family before completion of the initial Individual Training Service Plan (ITSP) and signing of the contract of participation. After enrollment in the FSS program, the FSS coordinator may make referrals to partner agencies for completion of one or more formal needs assessments. These assessments may focus on such issues as: employment readiness and employment training needs, educational needs related to secondary and post-secondary education, financial health, and other topics, depending on the needs and interests of the family.

The formal assessments may lead to adjustments to the Individual Training Service Plan, if requested by the family.

B. Delivering Appropriate Support Services
Coaching. All families who participate in the FSS program will be assigned an FSS coordinator who will provide coaching services to help each participating family to:
• Understand the benefits of participating in the FSS program and how the program can help the family achieve its goals.
• Identify achievable, but challenging interim and final goals for participation in the FSS program, break down the goals into achievable steps and accompany the family through the process. • Identify existing family strengths and skills.
• Understand the needs that the family has for services and supports that may help the family make progress toward their goals.
• Access services available in the community through referral to appropriate service providers. • Overcome obstacles in the way of achieving a family’s goals.

C. Transitional supportive service assistance.

Families that have completed their CoP and remain in assisted housing may request assistance with referrals to service providers in order to continue their progress toward economic security. Subject to limitations on staff capacity, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will try to help these families with appropriate referrals. The time spent on these referrals will not be covered by funds designated by HUD to support the FSS program.
12 IX. Contract of Participation
Contract of Participation
All families enrolled in the FSS program will be required to sign a Contract of Participation (CoP) that includes an Individual Training and Services Plan (ITSP). This section describes the contents of the CoP and the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency’s policies and practices regarding the CoP.

A. Form and content of contract
The CoP, which will incorporate one ITSP for each participating member of the family, sets forth the principal terms and conditions governing participation in the FSS program. These include the rights and responsibilities of the FSS family and of the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency, the services to be provided to, and the activities to be completed by, each adult member of the FSS family who elects to participate in the program.

B. ITSP goals
Each individual’s ITSP will establish specific interim and final goals by which the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency and the family will measure the family’s progress towards fulfilling its obligations under the CoP. For any FSS family that is a recipient of welfare assistance at the outset of the CoP or that receives welfare assistance while in the FSS program, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will establish as a final goal that every member of the family become independent from welfare assistance before the expiration of the CoP. The ITSP of the head of FSS family will also include as a final goal that they seek and maintain suitable employment. The FSS coordinator will work with each participating individual to identify additional ITSP goals that are relevant, feasible and desirable. Any such additional goals will be realistic and individualized.

C. Determination of suitable employment
As defined in the FSS regulations (24 CFR 984.303(4)(iii)), a determination of what constitutes “suitable employment” for each family member with a goal of seeking and maintaining it will be made by the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency, with the agreement of the affected participant, based on the skills, education, job training and receipt of other benefits of the family member and based on the available job opportunities within the community.

D. Contract of Participation term and extensions
The CoP will go into effect on the first day of the month following the execution of the CoP. The initial term of the CoP will run the effective date through the five-year anniversary of the first reexamination of income that follows the execution date. Families may request up to two one-year extensions and are required to submit a written request that documents the need for the extension. The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will grant the extension if it finds that good cause exists to do so. In this context, good cause means:
(i) Circumstances beyond the control of the FSS family, as determined by the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency, such as a serious illness or involuntary loss of employment; (ii) Active pursuit of a current or additional goal that will result in furtherance of self-sufficiency during the period of the extension (e.g. completion of a college degree during which the participant is unemployed or under-employed, credit repair towards being homeownership ready, etc.) as determined by the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency or
(iii) Any other circumstances that the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency determines warrants an extension.

E. Completion of the contract
The CoP is completed, and a family’s participation in the FSS program is concluded when the FSS family has fulfilled all its obligations under the CoP, including all family members’ ITSPs, on or before the expiration of 13 the contract term. The family must provide appropriate documentation that each of the ITSP goals has been completed. The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will accept the following form of verification for completion of the ITSP goals:

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will require a combination of self-certification and third-party verification to document completion of ITSP goals.

F. Modification
The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency and the FSS family may mutually agree to modify the CoP with respect to the ITSP and/or the contract term, and/or designation of the head of FSS household. All modifications must be in writing and signed by the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency as well as the Head of FSS Family.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will allow for modifications to the CoP under the following circumstances:

When the modifications to the ITSP improve the participant’s ability to complete their obligations in the CoP or progress toward economic self-sufficiency
When the designated head of the FSS family ceases to reside with other family members in the assisted unit, and the remaining family members, after consultation with the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency, designate another family member to be the FSS head of family.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will allow modifications at any time during the term of the CoP.

G. Consequences of noncompliance with the contract
Participant non-compliance with the CoP may result in termination from the FSS program. See policies on Involuntary Termination in Section X(A).

X. Program Termination, Withholding of Services, and Available Grievance Procedures
Program Termination
A. Involuntary Termination
The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency may involuntarily terminate a family from FSS under the following circumstances:

I. If the participant fails to meet their obligations under the Contract of Participation, the Individual Training and Services Plan and related documentation. Non-compliance includes:
i. Missing scheduled meetings, failure to return phone calls, and/or maintain contact after written notification of non-compliance
ii. Failure to work on activities and/or goals set forth in the Individual Training and Services Plan, including employment activities
iii. Failure to complete activities and/or goals within the specified time frames; and/or 14 II. If the participant’s housing assistance has been terminated.

Participants who fail to meet their obligations under paragraph I above, as determined by an FSS coordinator, will be given the opportunity to attend a required meeting with the FSS Coordinator or assigned Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency representative to review the situation. At this meeting, a review of the Contract of Participation, Individual Training and Services Plan, and all related documentation will be conducted, and amendments will be made as necessary (within HUD guidelines) to allow for changes in circumstances.

Failure to contact the FSS Coordinator to schedule this meeting within fourteen (14) days of a written request by the FSS program to set up this a meeting or failure by the FSS Head of Household to attend this meeting without some type of correspondence to clarify the issue(s), may lead to termination from the program. The FSS Coordinator will also attempt to contact the participant via phone, text, in person and/or email prior to the review meeting. Participants who remain out of compliance after this meeting will be subject to termination from the FSS program.

If the initial meeting does not resolve the problem, or if the meeting is not requested by the family within the required period, notification of termination will be made to the family by letter stating:

1. The specific facts and reasons for termination;

2. A statement informing the family of their right to request an informal hearing and the date by which this request must be received (see Grievance Procedures);

3. A statement informing the family that termination from the FSS program for the reasons stated therein will not result in termination of the family’s housing assistance. Failure to request a hearing in writing by the deadline will result in closure of the family’s FSS file and all rights to a hearing will be waived. All escrow money held on the family’s behalf will be forfeited in accordance with HUD regulations. Housing assistance will not be terminated based on non-compliance with the FSS program. The current amount of escrow in the family’s escrow account will be included in the letter.

B. Voluntary Termination
Participants may also be terminated from the FSS program under the following circumstances:
• Mutual consent of both parties; and/or
• The family’s withdrawal from the program.

C. Termination with Escrow Disbursement [24 CFR 984.303(k)] In most cases, families whose FSS contracts are terminated will not be entitled to disbursement of their accrued FSS escrowed funds. However, the CoP will be terminated with FSS disbursement when one of the following situations occurs:
(i) Services that the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency and the FSS family have agreed are integral to the FSS family’s advancement towards self-sufficiency are unavailable. (ii) The head of the FSS family becomes permanently disabled and unable to work during the period of the contract, unless the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency and the FSS family determine that it is possible to modify the contract to designate a new head of the FSS family. (ii) An FSS family in good standing moves outside the jurisdiction of the PHA (in accordance with portability requirements at 24 CFR §982.353) for good cause, as determined by the PHA, and continuation of the CoP after the move, or completion of the CoP prior to the move, is not possible. 15 D. Grievance Procedures
All requests for an informal hearing must be received by Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency FSS Coordinator within ten (10) business days of the date of the FSS termination letter. If a hearing is requested by the FSS family, notification to the family regarding the date, time, and location of the informal hearing will be made by mail.

Persons included in the informal hearing shall include, but not be limited to:
• The FSS head of household;
• The FSS Coordinator; and
• The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency staff members, other than FSS program staff, serving as the Hearing Officer
All participants have the right to obtain legal representation and provide their witnesses.

The family may request to reschedule a hearing for good cause, or if it is needed as reasonable accommodation for a person with disabilities. Good cause is defined as an unavoidable conflict which seriously affects the health, safety, or welfare of the family. Requests to reschedule a hearing must be made in writing within (5) days prior to the hearing date.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency’s PHA Plan details the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency’s Grievance Procedures (See Informal Hearings for Participants in Chapter 16 Program Administration).

If the family does not appear at the scheduled time and was unable to reschedule the hearing in advance due to the nature of the emergency, the family must contact the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency within 24 hours of the scheduled hearing date, excluding weekends and holidays. The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will then reschedule the hearing. The Hearing Officer will issue a written decision to the family within ten (10) business days after the hearing. The decision made by the Hearing Officer will be final.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency reserves the right to overturn the Hearing Officer’s decision only in the event that the decision is contrary to the organization’s written policies.

XI. Assurance of Non-Interference
Assurance of Non-Interference
Participation in the FSS Program is voluntary. A family’s decision on whether to participate in FSS will have no bearing on the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency’s decision of whether to admit the family into the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. The family’s housing assistance will not be terminated based on whether they decide to participate in FSS, their successful completion of the CoP, or on their failure to comply with FSS program requirements.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will ensure that the voluntary nature of FSS program participation is clearly stated in all FSS outreach and recruitment efforts. 16 XII. Timetable

Portability
A. Portability in initial 12 months
FSS participants may not exercise portability within the initial 12 months after signing a CoP.

B. Moves into the PHA’s jurisdiction
If an FSS participant moves into the PHA’s jurisdiction, they will be admitted in good standing into the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency’s FSS program unless the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency is already serving the number of FSS families identified in this FSS Action Plan and determines that it does not have the resources to manage the FSS contract.

Regardless of whether the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency is able to receive an incoming family from another jurisdiction into the FSS program, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will agree to allow and support porting families to remain in their initial PHA’s FSS program after porting housing vouchers if the initial PHA requests that the family remain in the initial FSS program and can demonstrate the family is able to fulfill its responsibilities under the initial CoP, the move in jurisdictions notwithstanding.

C. FSS termination with disbursement for porting families If an FSS family seeks to move to a jurisdiction that does not offer an FSS program, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance agency will closely examine the family’s progress to determine if it would be appropriate to exercise FSS Termination with Disbursement as discussed above in the section on Termination.

Where continued FSS participation is not possible, the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency will discuss the options that may be available to the family, depending on the family's specific circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to, modification of the FSS contract, termination of the FSS contract and forfeiture of escrow, termination with FSS escrow disbursement in accordance with 24 CFR § 984.303(k)(1)(iii), or locating a receiving PHA that has the capacity to enroll the family into its FSS program. 21 XVI.

Date: February 28, 2023
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGENCY
(SECTION 8) 5-YEAR PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY (PHA)
PLAN 2020-2025 SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENT
Recommendation:

2. Approve the Housing Assistance Agency Section 8 Program 5-Year PHA Plan for 2020-2025 Significant Amendment; and

3. Authorize the submittal of the Civil Rights Certification form to the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Fiscal Impact:

The recommended action does not have a fiscal impact on the General Fund.

Discussion:

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires Public Housing Agencies (PHA) to prepare a 5-Year PHA Plan every five (5) years in order to identify the PHA’s goals and objectives that will enable the PHA to serve the needs of the community. The 5-Year PHA Plan for 2020-2025 was approved by the Board of Commissioners on March 10, 2020.

Section B.5 of the 5-Year PHA Plan identifies a significant amendment or modification to the plan as a discretionary change in the plan or policies of the PHA that changes the 2 HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2023 PUBLIC HEARING – HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGENCY (PHA) PLAN 2020-2025

SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENT

Page 2 of 2 ends

mission, goals, objectives, or plans. A significant amendment requires formal approval of the Board of Commissioners and a full public hearing process before the revised 5- Year PHA Plan is submitted to HUD for approval.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency administers the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program within the Section 8 rental assistance program and requires an FSS Action Plan that establishes the FSS program policies on matters for which the PHA has discretion based on the HUD regulations. On May 19, 2022, HUD published an FSS Final Rule in the Federal Register, that requires PHAs that administer the FSS program to implement the new regulations and revise the FSS Action Plan to incorporate the new regulations and discretionary policies.

The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency drafted a revision of the FSS Action Plan.

The revised FSS Action Plan is a significant amendment to the goals, objectives, and plans of the 5-Year PHA Plan for 2020-2025 that was approved by the Board of Commissioners and HUD in 2020.

An invitation was extended to the Section 8 participants to partake in the Resident Advisory Board and attend the public hearing to provide comments regarding the 5-Year PHA Plan for 2020-2025 significant amendment as a result of the revision of the FSS Action Plan. A copy of the 5-Year PHA Plan for 2020-2025 significant amendment is available for public review at the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency office in City Hall West and on the City of Pico Rivera website at https://www.picorivera.org/index.php/housing-services-division/.

The Civil Rights Certification form (HUD-50077-CR) certifies that the PHA will carry out the program in conformity with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Submission of the Civil Rights Certification form is required by HUD at least annually.

Environmental Analysis:

The attached resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3 15061(b)(3), because the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this Resolution may have a significant effect on the environment and none of the exceptions under Section 15300.2 apply.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency Board of HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2023 PUBLIC HEARING – HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGENCY (PHA) PLAN 2020-2025

SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENT

Acting on behalf of the Board of Commissioners of the Public Housing Agency (PHA) listed below, as its Chairperson or other authorized PHA official if there is no Board of Commissioners, I approve the submission of the 5-Year PHA Plan , hereinafter referred to as” the Plan”, of which this document is a part, and make the following certification and agreements with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the fiscal year beginning 2020-2025 in which the PHA receives assistance under 42 U.S.C. 1437f and/or 1437g in connection with the mission, goals, and objectives of the public housing agency and implementation thereof:

The PHA certifies that it will carry out the public housing program of the agency in conformity with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d-2000d—4), the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-19), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794), title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), and other applicable civil rights requirements and that it will affirmatively further fair housing in the administration of the program. In addition, if it administers a Housing Choice Voucher Program, the PHA certifies that it will administer the program in conformity with the Fair Housing Act, title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other applicable civil rights requirements, and that it will affirmatively further fair housing in the administration of the program. The PHA will affirmatively further fair housing, which means that it will take meaningful actions to further the goals identified in the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) conducted in accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR § 5.150 through 5.180, that it will take no action that is materially inconsistent with its obligation to affirmatively further fair housing, and that it will address fair housing issues and contributing factors in its programs, in accordance with 24 CFR § 903.7(o)(3). The PHA will fulfill the requirements at 24 CFR § 903.7(o) and 24 CFR § 903.15(d). Until such time as the PHA is required to submit an AFH, the PHA will fulfill the requirements at 24 CFR § 903.7(o) promulgated prior to August 17, 2015, which means that it examines its programs or proposed programs; identifies any impediments to fair housing choice within those programs; addresses those impediments in a reasonable fashion in view of the resources available; works with local jurisdictions to implement any of the jurisdiction’s initiatives to affirmatively further fair housing that require the PHA’s involvement; and maintains records reflecting these analyses and actions.

Meeting Date: February 28, 2023
Subject: APPROVE A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION
NO. 7054 WHICH DECLARED AND PROCLAIMED THE
EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID19
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution (Enclosure 1) to rescind Resolution No. 7054 (Enclosure 2), which declared in the City of Pico Rivera (City) and proclaimed the existence of a local emergency due to the effects of the COVID-19 virus and the effects and impact upon the operations of the City; and

2. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund due to the approval of this resolution.

Discussion:

On March 4, 2020, the Governor of the State of California, Gavin Newsom, proclaimed a State of Emergency as a result of the threat of COVID-19 in the State of California.

On March 12, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-25-20 stating that COVID-19 remained a threat and that local officials may issue guidance limiting or recommending limitations upon attendance at public assemblies, conferences, or other mass events.

In accordance with the proclaimed State of Emergency, on March 16, 2020, the City of Pico Rivera approved Resolution No. 7054 proclaiming and declaring a local emergency that would continue until termination by the City Council.

Governor Newsom is ending California’s State of Emergency on February 28, 2023.

The attached resolution, if approved, will rescind the City’s local emergency and any changes made to City operations due to the proclamation of the local emergency cease and revert to regular operations.
5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2023 APPROVE A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 7054 WHICH

DECLARED AND PROCLAIMED THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19

Page 2 of 2 ends

Although the State of Emergency expires on February 28, 2023, Assembly Bill 2449 (AB 2449), which went into effect January 1, 2023, authorizes members of the local legislative body to participate remotely in public meetings under specified circumstances, including “just cause” or “emergency circumstances,” subject to certain requirements and limitations under the law.

Conclusion:

Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution to rescind Resolution No. 7054, thereby lifting the local emergency due to COVID-19.

Discussion:

The Legislative Platform was developed to support the successful implementation of the City’s adopted Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan serves as the roadmap to advance the City’s mission, vision, and values by aligning the City’s resources and activities, the City Council’s policy direction, and the desires of residents, businesses, and community stakeholders.

Goals of the Legislative Platform
 Streamline the ability of City staff to act on legislation, policy, or funding opportunities that either impact or benefit the City.
 Identify and support Federal, State, and regional legislation, regulatory policies and funding programs that align with the Platform.
 Identify and oppose, Federal, State and Regional proposals or policies that do not align with the Platform.
 Authorize City staff to prepare position letters and Resolution language that supports, opposes, or directs staff to work with the author on proposed legislation.  Authorize City staff to actively and regularly brief and correspond with elected officials and their respective staff, regulatory partners, and stakeholders to advance policy priorities and funding opportunities.
 Authorize City staff, in coordination with the City Council, to invite elected officials, regulatory partners and stakeholders to attend and participate in City community events and programming.
 For emerging issues or situations not outlined in the Legislative Platform, City staff will work with the City Council for further direction.

Development of the Platform
Staff reviewed a robust list of existing legislative platforms, including those of neighboring cities, the California Contract Cities Association, the League of California Cities, Los Angeles County, water boards and local transportation commissions. The intent was to develop a platform that aligned with local and regional partners, but that also specified the unique needs and priorities of the City of Pico Rivera.

The platform was developed with input and review from staff and directors from each department including Administration, City Clerk, Community and Economic Development, Public Works, Parks and Recreation and Administrative Services. The collaborative process allowed for the Platform to cover policy priorities in all areas of city services and programs, in alignment with the adopted Strategic Plan. The Legislative Platform will attempt to address areas of opportunity and challenges the City currently faces by advocating for legislative and funding solutions at all levels of government.

Implementation of the Platform
Upon adoption of the 2023 Legislative Platform, staff will provide copies of the Platform to the City’s panel of on-call consultants providing federal, state, and regional advocacy and grant writing support services. Staff will work with the City Council and the on-call advocacy to implement the priorities outlined in the Platform, including but not limited to favorable legislative outcomes and funding requests for parks and open spaces, infrastructure projects, economic development, preservation of local control, and public health and safety initiatives.

The Legislative Platform will elevate the presence of the City at all levels of government and allow staff to work towards favorable outcomes when influencing policies, delivering projects, and competing for discretionary funding opportunities. The City will advocate to protect local resources to improve the quality of life of the residents of Pico Rivera, while becoming a regional partner. Recent examples where the City has experienced success in implementing its policy priorities at all levels of government include:
 The City has a 71% award rate when applying to local, state and federal grants, totaling over $50 million in awards since 2020.
 The City Council and staff had an opportunity to brief Senator Lena Gonzalez, Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, in Sacramento to advocate for Pico Rivera’s plans for a transit-oriented downtown, featuring a Bus Rapid Transit Corridor, Commuter Rail, and Light Rail Station.
 Secured $17 million through 2022 California state budget allocation requests for improvements to the Smith Aquatic Center and Rio Hondo Park in partnership with Senator Archuleta and Assemblymember Calderon.
 Successfully sponsored a motion that was introduced by Supervisor Hahn at the Los Angeles Metro Board of Directors to study the feasibility of a new commuter rail station in Pico Rivera, the motion was unanimously approved.  The City was invited to brief the California Senate and Assembly Transportation Committees on the Bus Rapid Transit and Commuter Rail projects.  The City was awarded $2.5 million for PFAS filtration projects and $1.05 million for the PAD Park through Congresswoman Linda Sánchez’s Congressional Community Project Funding Requests.
 Developed a broad coalition of support for the BRT and Commuter rail projects, elevating the City as a regional partner.

4 City of Pico Rivera 2023 Legislative Platform
Federal Brief
The City of Pico Rivera is uniquely
situated between the San Gabriel
Valley and Gateway Cities subregions of Los Angeles County and is surrounded and/or bifurcated by
nationally significant trade corridors
such as interstate highways and
Class-I freight railroads. The proximity
to these corridors has resulted in
heightened levels of congestion with
compounding effects on air quality,
road conditions, and overall quality of
life. The City of Pico Rivera has the
potential to address congestion and
improve mobility while integrating
into the larger regional transportation
system of national significance by
connecting to the Metro Light Rail
System, leveraging Alameda Corridor
East grade separations, introducing
Bus Rapid Transit corridors and
planning for the arrival of future HighSpeed Rail and enhanced regional commuter rail systems.

Pico Rivera is home to a bluecollar workforce that drives critical freight, logistics, distribution, and
manufacturing activity in the region.

The City also houses the Whittier
Narrows Dam, a central element of
the Los Angeles County Drainage
Area (LACDA) flood control system
operated by the U.S Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE). In 2005,
the USACE identified the Whittier
Narrows Dam as being structurally
unsafe and at risk of failure in the
event of a severe storm. To protect
over 1.1 million people from potentially
catastrophic flooding, the USACE has
initiated the $400 million Whittier
Narrows Dam Safety Modification
Project (Project). Although critical,
the Project’s collateral impacts
include the permanent loss of parks
and open space, roadways, local
Following a record-setting $100
billion budget surplus year, Governor
Gavin Newsom presented his
proposed 2023-2024 state budget
with a projected $22.5 billion deficit.

Though the budget shortfall will limit
opportunities for significant one-time
investments, the City of Pico Rivera
will remain steadfast in advocating for
available resources, favorable policy
language, and partnerships that can
advance the City’s priorities, deliver
infrastructure projects, and elevate
the City’s presence in the State
Legislature.

The City of Pico Rivera will position
itself to protect its existing local
revenues while remaining competitive
for limited State resources as
outlined in the Governor’s budget.

The Strategic Plan and vision for the
revitalization of Pico Rivera aligns
with several of the Governor’s policy
priorities. The City is committed
to advancing a zero-emissions
economy and reaching workforce
development goals through the
establishment of a silicon river district
which will attract and accommodate
a clean, green tech-businesses
sector. The City is working to design
and construct complete, safe, and
accessible multi-modal and transitoriented communities along major corridors, such as the Historic
Whittier Boulevard corridor, to meet
the State’s greenhouse gas emission
reduction, housing availability and
vision-zero goals while connecting to
the larger interconnected regional
transportation network. The City of
Pico Rivera is also actively working to
State Brief
jobs and revenue streams while also
displacing community institutions.

The City of Pico Rivera is
committed to working with the
Biden Administration and the Offices
of Senator Alex Padilla, Senator
Dianne Feinstein, Congresswoman
Linda Sánchez, Congresswoman
Grace Napolitano, and all relevant
stakeholders, governing partners, and
agencies to support and advance the
Whittier Narrows Dam project while
strategically addressing the impacts
to Pico Rivera.

The City of Pico Rivera will actively
advocate for federal funding and
resources to deliver infrastructure
projects, incorporate favorable
legislative language that improves the
quality of life of Pico Rivera residents,
and elevate the City’s presence at the
Federal level.
identify opportunities for significant
investment in the acquisition and
revitalization of parks and open
spaces as the City is set to lose
over 57% of its recreation space.

The City is committed to working
with the Office of Governor Gavin
Newsom and the Offices of Senator
Bob Archuleta, Assemblymember
Lisa Calderon and all relevant
stakeholders, governing partners and
agencies to strategically address the
challenges facing Pico Rivera while
positioning itself to meet the State’s
priorities and enable new and longlasting economic activity and quality of life improvements for the region.

City of Pico Rivera 2023 Legislative Platform 5
The City of Pico Rivera will strategically
elevate its role, influence and collaboration
with regional partners and stakeholders
such as neighboring cities, County
Board of Supervisors, transportation
authorities and operators, governing
councils and boards, metropolitan
planning organizations and business
groups. By leveraging regional resources
and partnerships, the City is committed
to implementing its Strategic Plan and
the Legislative Platform which outline
a vision for revitalization, sustainability,
mobility, public health, safety, housing
and development with a focus on regional
connectivity and economic vitality.

The quality of life, economic resiliency,
safety and welfare of all who live, work and
visit the City of Pico Rivera is foundational
to the City’s Strategic Plan and the
Legislative Platform. The City will continue
to innovate and modernize its governance
practices to promote civic engagement,
solicit community feedback and preserve
the City’s rich cultural history as it delivers
its vision for the future.

Subject: BEVERLY BOULEVARD TRAFFIC SIGNAL
SYNCHRONIZATION PROGRAM, CIP NO. 21354 –

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH COUNTY OF LOS

ANGELES
Recommendation:

1. Approve a cooperative agreement with County of Los Angeles (County) for the share cost of the design and construction of the Beverly Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (TSSP), CIP No. 21354; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement (Enclosure 1) in a form approved by the City Attorney.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal year (FY) 2022-23 adopted budget includes $325,000 in Prop C Funds (Fund 206) under Account No. 206.70.7300.54500-CIP21354. The current engineering estimate to complete the Beverly Boulevard TSSP Project within the City is estimated at $478,500 with a jurisdictional share cost in the amount of $305,500. This covers the total costs for design, construction, and staff time. There is no fiscal impact to the general fund.

Discussion:

The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors instituted the Countywide Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (TSSP) to help improve mobility on congested local highways and streets. The County has been implementing innovative, low-cost operational improvements to the network of traffic signals on major streets throughout the County with the assistance from numerous cities, State of California Department of Transportation, and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The Traffic Signal Synchronization Program Projects typically upgrade all the traffic signals along a route to keep the signals synchronized, install vehicle detectors, coordinate the traffic signals timing between successive intersections, and automatically adjust the traffic signals to facilitate the movement of vehicles through the intersections. 8 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 28, 2023

Page 2 of 2 ends

Beverly Boulevard as part of the individual TSSP projects to be improved is a major arterial in the city with regional significance carrying an estimated 69,000 vehicles per day through the city alone. In an effort to improve traffic conditions and traffic flow throughout Beverly Boulevard, the City of Pico Rivera is joining other jurisdictions such as the City of Montebello, City of Whittier and County (serving as the lead agency) by proposing to modify and synchronize the traffic signals along Beverly Boulevard between Pomona Boulevard and Pickering Avenue.

On June 19, 2007, the City and County executed an agreement to memorialize their understanding regarding their relative rights, obligations, and duties with respect to the County’s Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. Now that the Beverly Boulevard TSSP design has been completed, a cooperative agreement needs to be executed (Enclosure 1) to move forward with the construction phase.

The cooperative agreement includes the share costs, and financial contributions and responsibilities from the respective jurisdictions. The jurisdictional share cost for the Project within the City of Pico Rivera is estimated to be $478,500. After allocation of the Metro Grant and the County’s contribution, the share cost for the city is $305,500 as shown in the table below:

Jurisdictional Share Cost
Metro Grant $ 67,200
County Contribution $ 105,800
City of Pico Rivera share $ 305,500
Total Share Cost of Project $ 478,500
The anticipated schedule is:
• Authorization to Bid March 2023
• Start Construction October 2023
Conclusion:

Staff recommends approval of the cooperative agreement with County of Los Angeles and the authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement in an effort to improve traffic conditions and traffic flow throughout Beverly Boulevard.

Recommendation:

1. Award a Professional Services Agreement to BKF Engineers to provide an engineering feasibility study for the Historic Whittier Boulevard Bike Plan, (NonCIP No. 30056) for an amount not-to-exceed $248,425 and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney; and

2. Amend the fiscal year (FY) 2022-23 adopted budget by appropriating $20,000 in Measure R (Fund 207) to Account No. 207.70.7300.54500-NonCIP30056.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal year (FY) 2022-23 adopted budget includes appropriations from State Grant fund (Account No. 699.70.7300-54500-Non-CIP30056) in the amount of $244,100. An additional $20,000 in Measure R funds (Account No. 207.70.7300-54500-NonCIP30056) is needed to cover the full amount of the Professional Services, matching grant fund requirements and grant administration staff time. The total project budget will be $264,100. There is no fiscal impact to the general fund.

Discussion:

In May 2022, the City was awarded a State grant by the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivera and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) Small Grants Program under Prop 68 to conduct a feasibility study for a new Class-I bicycle and pedestrian bridge adjacent to the Historic Camino Real (State Route 72 - Whittier Boulevard) spanning the San Gabriel River. The proposed alignment will connect the Paseo del Rio trail network and the San Gabriel River Class-I regional bike path, as well as provide connectivity to the Rio Hondo Class-I Bike Path via Mines Avenue from the soon to be constructed Pico Rivera Regional Bikeway Project. The feasibility study will relocate the alignment proposed from the Pico Rivera Regional Project due to Southern California Edison’s denial of the current location.

The bike and pedestrian bridge will be planned and built in a new location based on the findings of the proposed feasibility study, alternatives analysis, cost estimates and conceptual designs developed. Community outreach for this project will be coordinated with the City's broader Historic Whittier Boulevard Revitalization Program to ensure the project reflects the general vision of the community.

To develop the feasibility study, it is necessary to secure professional services from an engineering consultant. On October 27, 2022, a Request for Proposals was published on Planet Bids via the City’s website. On December 14, 2022, two (2) proposals were received. A technical panel consisting of Public Works staff ranked the proposals. The technical panel used qualifications-based selection criteria to rank the consultants. The selection criteria weighed a number of factors such as project manager and team qualifications, experience on similar projects, and understanding of technical issues specific to this project.

A summary of the rankings is provided below:
