Meeting Date: July 9, 2024
Subject: SECOND READING – ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO.
1185 AMENDING THE PICO RIVERA MUNICIPAL CODE,
ADDING CHAPTER 9.52 PROHIBITION AGAINST
CERTAIN CONDUCT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND
CHAPTER 9.56 STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY
ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
Recommendation:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 1185 establishing two new chapters to the Pico Rivera Municipal Code Title 9, Public Peace, Morals and Welfare as follows: Chapter
9.52 Prohibition Against Certain Conduct on Public Property and Chapter 9.56 Storage of Personal Property on Public Property.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this report.
Background:
On June 25, 2024, City Council introduced an Ordinance amending the Pico Rivera Municipal Code, adding Chapter 9.52 Prohibition Against Certain Conduct on Public Property and Chapter 9.56 Storage of Personal Property on Public Property at their regularly scheduled City Council meeting. The City Council approved and waived the first reading of Ordinance No. 1185.
Discussion:
In 2018 the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision in the case of Martin v.
City of Boise that altered how municipalities can regulate public camping and related activities. The decision was in response to a 2009 lawsuit by six (6) homeless plaintiffs against the city of Boise, Idaho regarding the city’s anti-camping ordinance. The ruling held that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough 3 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 9, 2024
SECOND READING – ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1185 AMENDING THE PICO RIVERA MUNICIPAL CODE, ADDING CHAPTER 9.52 PROHIBITION AGAINST CERTAIN CONDUCT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND CHAPTER 9.56 STORAGE OF
PERSONAL PROPERTY ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. It did not necessarily mean a city cannot enforce any restrictions on camping in public spaces. The courts have upheld ordinances that provide for the removal, notice and storage of personal property such as in the case of De-Occupy Honolulu v. City and County of Honolulu.
The City’s proposed Ordinance No. 1185(Enclosure 1) is designed to provide the City with the authority to remove trash, debris, and hazardous materials in the public right-ofway and to prevent the accumulation of those conditions on public property.
Detrimental impacts from illegal storage, dumping, or camping in public areas, which are not designed for such storage or human habitation, include lack of proper water and sanitary facilities, safety hazards for visitors and the inhabitants of substandard temporary structures, presence of trash and debris, criminal activities including illegal drug use, and other conditions that are inconsistent with the intended use and enjoyment of these areas by the general public.
The ordinance incorporates procedures based on best practices from other California municipalities regarding the noticing, storage and retrieval protocol that will apply when personal property is removed from public property. In instances when personal property placed on public property poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of the public, including, without limitation, a threat arising from the personal property containing biological materials, hazardous substances, or hazardous waste, the City may remove and discard it without prior notice.
The following are some highlights from the proposed ordinance regarding noticing and storage:
Notice to Remove Personal Property
• Pre-Removal Notice - In instances where there is abandoned essential and nonessential personal property pre-removal notice is required, such notice shall:
o Be posted no less than 24 hours prior to the removal; o Be posted at the site of the personal property;
o Include the date and time by which the personal property must be removed; and
o Explain that the City will remove and impound personal property if it is not removed from the City property.
• Post-Removal Notice - In instances where there is abandoned essential and nonessential personal property post-removal notice is required, such notice shall:
o Be posted immediately after the removal of personal property; o Be posted at the site from which the personal property was removed; and o Detail the procedures for retrieving personal property.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 9, 2024
SECOND READING – ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1185 AMENDING THE PICO RIVERA MUNICIPAL CODE, ADDING CHAPTER 9.52 PROHIBITION AGAINST CERTAIN CONDUCT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND CHAPTER 9.56 STORAGE OF
PERSONAL PROPERTY ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
Storage
• Manner and Timing - In instances where storage is required, the City or Sheriff shall store removed personal property for 90 days from the date of removal. • Location - The removed personal property shall be stored at a location or locations in the City that reasonably facilitate retrieval. • Records - The City or Sheriff shall keep written records, maintained for at least 90 days following removal, of any personal property stored. The records shall include the date that the personal property was removed, the location from which the personal property was removed, and a general description of the personal property.
Retrieval
During business hours, the City or Sheriff shall, within a reasonable time following a retrieval request assist any person seeking to retrieve property stored.
The City's streets, sidewalks, parking lots, parks and other public areas are intended for use by the public, not for storage of personal, stolen, or abandoned property, or for overnight occupancy. The proposed ordinance will address items such as the illegal storage and misuse of public areas including hindering or obstructing the free passage of other individuals, urination and defecation, storage and accumulation of trash, and inhabiting vehicles parked in restricted areas. In addition, the ordinance will address the need to remove trash debris and hazardous materials from public property while preserving the personal property of persons experiencing homelessness.
Environmental Analysis:
The ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2), (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 ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment and because the ordinance does not qualify as a "project" under CEQA and because the ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines defines a project as the whole of an action, which could potentially result in either a direct physical change, or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change, in the environment. The ordinance will not have any effect that would physically change the environment. The ordinance therefore does not qualify as a project subject to CEQA.

ORDINANCE NO. 1185
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PICO RIVERA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 9.52 PROHIBITION AGAINST
CERTAIN CONDUCT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND CHAPTER 9.56
STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ON PUBLIC PROPERTY TO
TITLE 9, PUBLIC PEACE, MORALS AND WELFARE, OF THE PICO
RIVERA MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, reducing homelessness and the impacts of encampments on public property pose challenges for California cities. In Martin v. City of Boise (9th Cir. 2018) 902 F.3d 1031, 1046, superseded, Martin v. City of Boise (9th Cir. 2019) 920 F.3d 584, the Ninth Circuit held “the Eighth Amendment prohibits the imposition of criminal penalties for sitting, sleeping, or lying outside on public property for homeless individuals who cannot obtain shelter.”; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance reflects the City Council’s desire to maintain public areas in clean, sanitary and accessible conditions to prevent harm to the health and safety of the public in a manner that includes adequate procedural safeguards governing the removal and storage of personal property; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Ordinance prohibits certain conduct on public property including a prohibition on hindering or obstructing the free passage of other individuals, urination and defecation, storing and accumulating trash, debris or personal property, and inhabiting vehicles that are parked in certain restricted area; and WHEREAS, it is the obligation of the City to keep its public right of way and public property clean and to protect the public health, safety, and access by City residents and guests; and
WHEREAS, the courts and the State Legislature have expressly recognized the power of a city to regulate conduct on streets, sidewalks, or other public places, and has upheld ordinances that provide for the removal, notice and storage of personal property (DeOccupy Honolulu v. City and County of Honolulu). Recent court decisions have prohibited state and local governments from imposing criminal penalties on homeless persons camping on public property, but the courts have explicitly upheld the authority of state and local governments to enact and enforce ordinances that maintain and protect public safety and public health; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance does not punish individuals facing homelessness in violation of the Ordinance with traditional punishments such as misdemeanor or fines; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Pico Rivera desires to amend the Pico Rivera Municipal Code as set forth herein.
Enclosure 1
3a
ORDINANCE NO. 1185
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Pico Rivera as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds that the above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein as part of the findings.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby finds and determines that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2), (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 Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment and because CEQA Guidelines section 15378 defines a project as the whole of an action, which could potentially result in either a direct physical change, or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change, in the environment. The Ordinance will not have any effect that would physically change the environment.
SECTION 3. The City Council finds that public areas within the city, including streets, sidewalks, parks, public buildings and public land, should be readily accessible and available to residents and the public at large for use in a safe and healthy manner. The use of these areas in a manner that hinders or obstructs the free passage of pedestrians, exercise of bodily functions, habitation in vehicles interferes with the ability of residents and the public to use the areas in the healthy and safe manner for the uses intended for.
SECTION 4. A new Chapter 9.52, Prohibition Against Certain Conduct on Public Property, is hereby added to Title 9 Public Peace, Morals and Welfare to read as follows:
CHAPTER 9.52 PROHIBITION AGAINST CERTAIN CONDUCT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
9.52.010 Purpose
9.52.020 Definitions
9.52.030 Free passage shall not be hindered or obstructed.
9.52.040 Public Urination and defecation prohibited.
9.52.050 Use of vehicles for human habitation restricted on city streets and public property.
9.52.060 Limitation on applicability.
9.52.070 Enforcement
9.52.010 Purpose
A. The courts and the State Legislature have expressly recognized the power of a city to regulate conduct on streets, sidewalks, or other public places, and has specifically authorized local ordinances governing the use of municipal parks and public property. Recent court decisions have prohibited state and local governments from imposing criminal penalties on homeless persons camping on public property, but the courts have explicitly upheld the authority of state and local ORDINANCE NO. 1185
governments to enact and enforce ordinances that maintain and protect public safety and public health.
B. In accordance with these court decisions, this Chapter prohibits certain conduct on public property which will adversely affect public health and public safety, including a prohibition on hindering or obstructing the free passage of other individuals, performing bodily functions, including urination and defecation, storing and accumulating trash, debris or personal property, and inhabiting vehicles in parked certain restricted areas. This conduct has resulted in significant adverse health and safety issues for the people in Pico Rivera.
C. The public areas within the city, including streets, sidewalks, parks, public buildings and public land, should be readily accessible and available to residents and the public at large for use in a safe and healthy manner. The use of these areas in a manner that hinders or obstructs the free passage of pedestrians, exercise of bodily functions, habitation in vehicles interferes with the ability of residents and the public at large to use the areas in the healthy and safe manner for the uses intended. Such activity and their attendant negative effects constitute a significant public health and safety hazard, which adversely impacts other members of the public and neighborhoods, as well as industrial, and commercial areas. The city's streets, sidewalks, parking lots, parks and other public areas are intended for free passage use without health and safety problems. Detrimental impacts from activity that hinders or obstructs the free passage of pedestrians, exercise of bodily functions, habitation in vehicles include lack of proper water and sanitary facilities, safety hazards for pedestrians and the inhabitants of vehicles, presence of trash and debris, criminal activities including illegal drug use, and other conditions which are inconsistent with the intended use and enjoyment of these areas by the general public, and constitutes a public health and safety hazard. A purpose of this chapter is to maintain public and private lands, streets, sidewalks, alleys, ways, waterways, parks, playgrounds, recreation areas, plazas, open spaces, lots, parcels and other public and private areas within the city, in a clean, sanitary and accessible condition. Nothing in this chapter is intended to interfere with otherwise lawful and ordinary uses of public areas.

SECTION 5. A new Chapter 9.56, Storage of personal property on public property, is hereby added to Title 9 Public Peace, Morals and Welfare to read as follows:
CHAPTER 9.56 STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
9.56.010 Purpose
9.56.020 Definitions
9.56.030 Prohibition on the storage of personal property on public property.
9.56.040 Prohibition on attachments.
9.56.050 Removal of stored personal property.
9.56.060 Removal, Storage and Retrieval
9.56.070 Illegal dumping.
ORDINANCE NO. 1185
9.56.080 Limitation on applicability.
9.56.010 Purpose
A. The courts and the State Legislature have expressly recognized the power of a city to regulate conduct on streets, sidewalks, or other public places, and has specifically authorized local ordinances governing the use of municipal parks and public property. Recent court decisions have prohibited state and local governments from imposing criminal penalties on homeless persons camping on public property, but the courts have explicitly upheld the authority of state and local governments to enact and enforce ordinances that maintain and protect public safety and public health.
B. In accordance with these court decisions, this Chapter prohibits certain conduct on public property which will adversely affect the public health and public safety on public property, including a prohibition on the storage and accumulation of trash, debris, and hazardous materials on public property. This conduct has resulted in significant adverse health and safety issues for the people in Pico Rivera.
C. The public areas within the city, including streets, sidewalks, parks, public building and public land, should be readily accessible and available to residents and the public at large for use in a safe and healthy manner. The use of these areas for storage and accumulation of trash, debris and personal property interferes with the ability of residents and the public at large to use these areas in a healthy and safe manner for the intended uses. Such storage of trash, debris and personal property and their attendant negative effects constitute a significant public health and safety hazard, which adversely impacts other members of the public and neighborhoods, as well as industrial and commercial areas. The city's streets, sidewalks, parking lots, parks and other public areas are intended for use by the general public, not for storage of personal, stolen, or abandoned property. Detrimental impacts from illegal storage, or dumping in these public areas which are not designed for such storage include lack of proper water and sanitary facilities to maintain storage areas, safety hazards for visitors and the inhabitants of substandard temporary structures, presence of trash and debris, harborage of disease-carrying rodents and vectors, criminal activities including illegal drug use, deposit and dumping of biological materials, hazardous substances, or hazardous waste, and other conditions which are inconsistent with the intended use and enjoyment of these areas by the general public. Moreover, the proliferation of lost, abandoned, or stolen shopping carts or wheeled carts around the city results in the obstruction of free access to sidewalks, streets, parking lots, and other ways; interferes with pedestrian and vehicular traffic on public and private streets; and impedes emergency services. A purpose of this chapter is to maintain public and private lands, streets, sidewalks, alleys, ways, creeks, waterways, parks, playgrounds, recreation areas, plazas, open spaces, lots, parcels and other public areas within the city, in a clean, sanitary and accessible condition. Nothing in this chapter is ORDINANCE NO. 1185

1186 APPROVING ZONE CODE AMENDMENT NO. 195
AMENDING TITLE 5, BUSINESS LICENSE AND
REGULATIONS AND TITLE 18, ZONING OF THE PICO
RIVERA MUNICIPAL CODE AND FIND THE PROPOSED
ORDINANCE NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Recommendation:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 1186 approving Zone Code Amendment No. 195, amending Title 5, Business License and Regulations and Title 18, Zoning, of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code and find the proposed ordinance not subject to the California environmental quality act (CEQA).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this report.
Background:
The Pico Rivera Municipal Code (PRMC) requires periodic updates due to new state laws and regulations that have gone into effect in the last several years. The proposed amendments, as shown in Enclosure 1, include updates to Title 5, Business Licenses and Regulations and Title, 18 Zoning. These updates will achieve consistency with state laws and provide greater clarity and certainty that will better serve the public.
Furthermore, in Enclosure 1, deleted language is shown with a strikethrough and new language is double underlined.
On June 3, 2024, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of Zone Code Amendment No. 195 to the City Council. On June 25, 2024, the City Council introduced Zone Code Amendment No. 195 at their regularly scheduled City Council meeting. The City Council approved and waived the first reading of Ordnance No. 1186.

SECOND READING – ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1186 APPROVING ZONE CODE AMENDMENT NO. 195 AMENDING TITLE 5 BUSINESS LICENSE AND REGULATIONS AND TITLE 18 ZONING OF THE PICO RIVERA MUNICIPAL CODE
AND FIND THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Discussion:
Title 5 Business License and Regulations
Section 5.75.060 Issuance and renewal of license. On March 8, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1154, Tobacco Retail License, establishing a ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products and established a Tobacco Retail Licensing Program as a mechanism to ensure compliance with the ordinance. The proposed amendment would require retailers to renew their Tobacco Retail License upon the anniversary date of said license and would eliminate the requirement for the renewal and fee to be due between 30 to 60 days prior to the expiration. This will ensure congruous coordination between Tobacco Retail License and Business License due dates, both set for the anniversary date.
Title 18 Zoning
The last comprehensive zoning code update took place in 1993. In the intervening years, it has been modified through a series of amendments that has resulted in an older code with outdated terminology and often cumbersome to navigate. In response, the City of Pico Rivera (City) has embarked on a Comprehensive Zoning Code Update that will make it user-friendly with contemporary terminology and reorganized for easier access. The update is underway and will be finalized by the end of the calendar year.
In the meantime, the proposed amendments will address the immediate needs of the City as it works towards addressing outdated development standards, land uses, and noticing requirements.
Table 18.40.040(D) Land use chart—Contents
• Smoke Shops – On September 28, 2021, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1145 prohibiting the establishment of smoke shops. Chapter 9.42 Smoke Shop Prohibition was added to Title 9 Public Peace, Morals and Welfare.
Section 18.40.040 Land Use Chart will be updated to reflect this amendment. • Massage – The PRMC categorizes massage establishments as an office type business. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for proposed massage establishments in the General Commercial (C-G) zone would ensure that new establishments comply with specific provisions for their operation including, but not limited to required training, appropriate documentation for massage technicians, appropriate hours of operation and prohibiting illicit activity. • Carwashes – On October 26, 2021, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1148 extending a car wash moratorium for 10 months, 15 days.
On August 23, 2022, the City Council extended the ordinance for an additional year. The proposed amendment will prohibit carwash establishments in all the commercial zones. The existing carwashes, with a valid business license would continue to operate. The amendment would only apply to new carwashes.

Section 18.42.050, Special Use Conditions and Chart Notes On September 12, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1174 amending Title 18 Zoning, for the creation of development standards for the R-40 Overlay Zone. The ordinance also established Objective Design Standards for ministerial and affordable housing proposals as required by state housing legislation. The proposed amendment clarifies that standalone residential development proposed in any commercial zone and mixed-use overlay zone must meet the objective design standards and the development regulations of the Multiple-Family Residential (R-M) zone.
18.62.230. Public hearing—Notice, conduct and decisions The proposed amendment would allow the City to forgo mailing notices when the number of owners to whom notice would be mailed is greater than one thousand (1,000) and allowing notice to be provided by placing a display advertisement in at least one (1) local newspaper in general circulation within the City.
Environmental Analysis:
The proposed ordinance is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15061 (b)(3). An activity is not subject to CEQA if: The activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378. The activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Here it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, therefore the proposed ordinance is not subject to CEQA.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance No. 1186 approving Zone Code Amendment No. 195 and find the proposed ordinance not subject to the California environmental quality act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15061 (b)(3).

SECTION 4. Amend Chapter 5.75, Tobacco Retail License, Section 5.75.060 Issuance and renewal of license to read as follows:
A. Upon the receipt of a complete application for a tobacco retailer’s license and the license fee required by this chapter, the department may approve or deny the application for a license, or it may delay action for a reasonable period of time to complete any investigation of the application or the applicant deemed necessary.
The department may deny an application for a tobacco retailer’s license based on any of the following:
1. The application is incomplete, inaccurate, false, or misleading;
2. The department has information that the applicant, or the applicant’s agent(s) or employee(s), violated any local, state, or federal tobacco control law within the preceding one hundred eighty days; or
3. The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing at an address where a previous tobacco retail license has been suspended, revoked, or is subject to suspension or revocation proceedings for any violation of any of the provisions of this chapter. However, this shall not constitute a basis for denial of a tobacco retail license if either or both of the following apply:
a. The applicant provides documentation which clearly demonstrates that the applicant has acquired or is in the process of acquiring the premises or business in an arm’s length transaction, or b. It has been more than five years since the most recent tobacco retail license for that location was revoked;
4. Any other suitable reason the granting of a license to the applicant is not consistent with the public health and welfare, including the applicant’s history of noncompliance with this chapter and other laws relating to the sale of tobacco products.
B. Renewal of Tobacco Retail License. A tobacco retail license shall be valid for one year and must be renewed upon the anniversary date of the license, and the fee for same shall then be immediately due and owing between thirty and sixty days prior to the expiration of the tobacco retail license. A tobacco retail license may be renewed for additional one year periods by submission of a renewal application and the applicable fee. Any tobacco retail license that is suspended, has been ORDINANCE NO. 1186
revoked within the previous five years, or is subject to suspension or revocation proceedings shall not be renewed until suspension or revocation proceedings are complete and the suspension or revocation period, if any, is over.

Subject: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT NO. 21-2018 WITH
WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC. FOR TREE
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Recommendation:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 21-2018 with West Coast Arborists Inc. to provide tree maintenance services for an annual amount not-to-exceed $440,000 and to exercise the first of two (2) one-year optional extensions for tree maintenance services;

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 in a form approved by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 Adopted Budget includes adequate appropriations to cover the annual cost of $440,000 for the amendment and potential contingency of $30,000 under Account No. 100.40.4030-54500 (Street Maintenance, Contracted Services). No additional appropriations are required at this time.
Discussion:
The Public Works Department, Field Operations Division, is responsible for maintaining trees citywide. Based on a tree inventory conducted in 2020, the City of Pico Rivera (City) has approximately 12,500 street, park, and parkway trees comprising its urban forest, having an estimated value of approximately $36,000,000. Tree trimming is carried out systematically in a predesignated grid, allowing for efficient block trimming and cost savings.
5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 9, 2024
AMENDMENT NO.1 TO AGREEMENT NO. 21-2018 WITH WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC. FOR TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
On August 10, 2021, the City Council awarded West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) a threeyear Maintenance Services Agreement for tree maintenance services for $1,200,000, or $400,000 annually. The agreement included two (2) one-year optional extensions based on mutual agreement between WCA and the City. WCA has previously provided tree maintenance services since 2019 and has explicit knowledge and insight into the species of trees found citywide.
The work provided by WCA has consistently been of high quality. They have been responsive and have assisted with emergency services and accommodating to the City’s last-minute Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) tree-related services. Staff has established a strong relationship with WCA and has tailored their services to meet the needs of Pico Rivera.
At this time, under mutual agreement, the City and WCA would like to exercise the first of two (2) one-year optional extensions. Since the initial three-year agreement was awarded to WCA in 2021, there have been no rate increases to the agreement. WCA requested a rate increase to accommodate the recent inflation in labor and material costs. The City and WCA have negotiated a 10% rate increase for the one-year extension. The recommended Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 21-2018 in the amount of $440,000 reflects the negotiated 10% increase. In addition, staff recommend including a not-toexceed 7% contingency for emergencies due to unforeseeable events.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 21-2018 with West Coast Arborists Inc. exercising the first of two (2) one-year extensions for tree maintenance services in the amount of $440,000. Additionally, authorize the City Manager or his designee to approve change orders, as needed in an amount not-toexceed $30,000 (approximately 7% of the total amendment amount) for contingency purposes and to execute Amendment No. 1.

Subject: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH JAS
PACIFIC FOR BUILDING PLAN CHECK AND INSPECTION
SERVICES
Recommendation:
1. Award a Professional Services Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney to JAS Pacific to provide building plan check and inspection services for a three (3) year term at an annual not-to-exceed amount of $300,000.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this action. Sufficient funding is available in the fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 Adopted Budget within General Fund Account No. 100.30.4020.54500. The expenditures for these services are projected during the budget review and adoption process and are calculated based on projected construction volumes.
Background:
The Building and Safety Division has consistently utilized contract plan review services to manage the high volume of construction activities in the City of Pico Rivera (City).
These external companies provide a comprehensive plan review service for large commercial projects, new residential developments, and complex remodels and additions. The fees for the services are paid by the applicant directly when they submit their building permit application.
The majority of small to mid-sized cities commonly contract for building code plan check compliance services to handle the influx of building permit applications. This enables the building inspection staff to concentrate on on-site construction inspections. Without these consulting firms, the City would require employing licensed structural, civil, and plan check engineers on staff. Currently, the City uses one consulting firm for these services.
However, the agreement with the firm expired on June 30, 2024. 6 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 9, 2024

The type of proposed plan check work may include new construction (residential, commercial, or industrial), remodeling, additions, green building, ADA, LID, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED"), Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems ("OWTS"), and public nuisance abatement, Fire Code related plan check and inspections services.
2. Confirm building use, occupancy, and type of construction, and review construction of buildings and structures to determine satisfaction of safety requirements.
3. Perform plan review of both regular and accelerated plan reviews within 10 working days from the date the city submits the plans to consultant for plan review for both initial plan reviews and subsequent plan review cycles.
4. The City will utilize 3Di and Bluebeam Reve. The Consultant will be provided appropriate licensing for 3Di and Bluebeam Reve, when implemented, and be expected to enter and monitor plan checking information into the portal.
5. Provide on-call Building Inspector and Code Enforcement officers staff augmentation.
The City has received a total of 14 submissions in response to the RFP. A panel board from the Community and Economic Development Department reviewed and scored the proposals based on the scoring criteria prescribed in the RFP and the qualifications presented by each firm. The score, on a 100-point system, was averaged to arrive at an order of ranking. In accordance with state and federal regulations, with respect to qualification-based selection of overall responsiveness, work experience, qualification, and cost, the evaluation and scoring were completed. Table 1 on the following page ranks the top five (5) firms.

This RFP process complies with Sections 4525 through 4529.5 of the California Government Code, known as the Mini-Brooks Act. This legislation requires public agencies in California to select engineering, architectural, and construction management firms based on qualifications, prohibiting competitive bidding for these services. After selecting a firm based on qualifications, a service fee can be negotiated. The negotiated rates for the various services to be provided by JAS Pacific are detailed in Exhibit A of the Professional Services Agreement.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council award a Professional Services Agreement to JAS Pacific for a three (3) year term at an annual not-to-exceed amount of $300,000, for building plan check and inspection services.

Plan Review
JAS Pacific shall provide the City with plan review services by utilizing certified Plans Examiner and Registered Engineers as needed. All assigned personnel shall meet all required qualifications, education, and certification/licensing as applicable for the field they will be working in. Additionally, all assigned personnel possess the requisite skills and experience required to perform multi-disciplinary plan checks as detailed below.
Off-Site Services
JAS Pacific proposes to provide the City with plan review services through our in-house plan review team administered at our headquarters. We believe this is the most comprehensive and efficient approach to providing building plan review services to the public and City staff. JAS Pacific has qualified and experienced staff that can provide technical assistance to architects and engineers, discuss and explain plan review corrections and meet any demands requested by the applicants or as directed by the City. This approach is detailed in the “Plan Review Activities” flowchart.
Project File Created
A project file is created in our cloud-based Workflow system with all of the appropriate project information including address, permit number, when the project was received, when the project is due, and the assigned team member.
Project Assignment
Once a project is received, it is evaluated to determine complexity based on type (residential/commercial/industrial), square footage, number of stories, type of construction, etc. Then, the project is assigned to a plan check engineer and the review begins. The project will remain with the assigned engineer for the duration of the project.
Comprehensive Review (Corrections & Approvals)
A review is conducted by our qualified plan check team, a correction list is prepared to identify the items that need correction and this list is provided to the City in a digital format. If/when a third review is necessary, JAS Pacific plan review team members will reach out to the applicant to clarify any potential outstanding corrections. To ensure new plan check corrections are not generated on supplemental reviews, the project will be reviewed by the team member originally assigned to the project. In the event supplemental comments are necessary due to an undisclosed modification in the scope of work, JAS Pacific will notify the City and the applicant immediately.
Plan Review Documents
Once a review is complete and is not ready for approval, JAS Pacific will provide a complete Correction List of items requiring correction, clarification, or change to be approved. The correction list will be prepared in an approved format and provided to the City in a paper and/or electronic format for paper plans and electronic format for electronic plans and will be sent directly to the applicant and City representatives. Additionally, a transmittal will be provided stating the date the plans were reviewed, disposition, address, permit number, and the hours spent on the review. All of these documents will be available in our cloud-based storage for reference as well.
Digital File of Approved Plans
Upon approval, JAS Pacific will provide the City with a digital file of the plans that have achieved approval status. This will relieve the City from performing this function within their offices and the digital file of the approved plans will be available when the approved plan sets are returned to the Building & Safety Department.
JAS PACIFIC | 55
Transmittals
Upon completion of each review, JAS Pacific will submit an Invoice Slip detailing the project address, permit number, date of completion, hours spent, status, and plan checker assigned.
Electronic Plan Review (E-Review)
JAS Pacific can provide the City with an Internet-based system in support of plan review services for electronic plan submission (E-Submittal). This document workflow solution will allow applicants and City personnel to initiate and complete the plan review process online (including the submission of electronic comments), rather than using a manual, paper-based process that requires printing and shipping. Said services will improve the plan review cycle, reduce costs (i.e. paper use, printing and storage costs, drive time, and gasoline consumption), and support JAS Pacific’s Business Friendly Policy of providing services in a streamlined and seamless fashion as efficiently as possible. JAS Pacific staff has worked with various programs including, but not limited to, Project Dox, Blue Beam, and E-Plan Soft.
File Transfer Portal
JAS Pacific will provide a cloud-based file transfer portal that will allow for the uploading of all electronic files. We use secure content collaboration, file sharing, and sync solution that supports all the document tasks and workflow needs of electronic plan review. All parties on the file box are notified when plans are uploaded, modified, or accessed.
Restrictions can easily be placed on the file to maintain control and ensure the files are up-to-date documents.
Marked-up | Approved Plans
JAS Pacific will provide the City and applicant with a file of the plans along with a clear and concise correction list. This review and correction list development will take place utilizing Bluebeam which allows for clear identification of corrections and their location on the plans. This process results in a quicker response time from applicants due to the simplicity of access to each area that requires correction.
Real-Time Plan Tracking
JAS Pacific utilizes a cloud-based system to provide up-to-the-minute “Real-Time” tracking of plans currently in our queue.
This system provides many features related to the management of projects, however, the key components include the project start date, due date, and the disposition. Notifications are sent when the project’s due date approaches, is completed, and approvals are given. The City would have full access to this program to view the status of each project currently under review with JAS Pacific.
Availability to the Public | Meetings
JAS Pacific will be available to all City staff and applicants to ensure an efficient plan review process is achieved and to maintain communication. Meetings – At the request of the City, JAS Pacific will be present for all necessary meetings, including but not limited to, project pre-submittal, during the review process, and after permit issuance. These meetings may take place in City Hall, over the phone, or via teleconference (Zoom or Teams). Phone Calls/Emails – JAS Pacific is always available via phone or email to discuss projects and technical data.
Reporting
JAS Pacific will provide detailed reports at the frequency most desired by the City. The software systems we utilize allow for custom reports to be prepared with as much or as little detail, including but not limited to, projects reviewed within a defined timeframe along with the status, assigned plan review engineer, contact information, date received, and date returned. These reports can be prepared in Excel or PDF format and provided as frequently as desired by the City.
JAS PACIFIC | 56
Turnaround Schedule
A well-defined schedule allows for a clear understanding of the expectations for the City, applicants, and JAS Pacific. The schedule details not only the task but how long it takes for the tasks to be completed. JAS Pacific has a robust team of over 25 plan check engineers and plans examiners of which each has more than 15 years of experience. The size and experience of our team allow for us to meet and exceed the requested turnaround times the City has defined. These tasks are completed within the timeframes in the table below.

Plan Review
JAS Pacific shall provide the City with plan review services by utilizing certified Plans Examiner and Registered Engineers as needed. All assigned personnel shall meet all required qualifications, education, and certification/licensing as applicable for the field they will be working in. Additionally, all assigned personnel possess the requisite skills and experience required to perform multi-disciplinary plan checks as detailed below.
Off-Site Services
JAS Pacific proposes to provide the City with plan review services through our in-house plan review team administered at our headquarters. We believe this is the most comprehensive and efficient approach to providing building plan review services to the public and City staff. JAS Pacific has qualified and experienced staff that can provide technical assistance to architects and engineers, discuss and explain plan review corrections and meet any demands requested by the applicants or as directed by the City. This approach is detailed in the “Plan Review Activities” flowchart.
Project File Created
A project file is created in our cloud-based Workflow system with all of the appropriate project information including address, permit number, when the project was received, when the project is due, and the assigned team member.
Project Assignment
Once a project is received, it is evaluated to determine complexity based on type (residential/commercial/industrial), square footage, number of stories, type of construction, etc. Then, the project is assigned to a plan check engineer and the review begins. The project will remain with the assigned engineer for the duration of the project.
Comprehensive Review (Corrections & Approvals)
A review is conducted by our qualified plan check team, a correction list is prepared to identify the items that need correction and this list is provided to the City in a digital format. If/when a third review is necessary, JAS Pacific plan review team members will reach out to the applicant to clarify any potential outstanding corrections. To ensure new plan check corrections are not generated on supplemental reviews, the project will be reviewed by the team member originally assigned to the project. In the event supplemental comments are necessary due to an undisclosed modification in the scope of work, JAS Pacific will notify the City and the applicant immediately.
Plan Review Documents
Once a review is complete and is not ready for approval, JAS Pacific will provide a complete Correction List of items requiring correction, clarification, or change to be approved. The correction list will be prepared in an approved format and provided to the City in a paper and/or electronic format for paper plans and electronic format for electronic plans and will be sent directly to the applicant and City representatives. Additionally, a transmittal will be provided stating the date the plans were reviewed, disposition, address, permit number, and the hours spent on the review. All of these documents will be available in our cloud-based storage for reference as well.
Digital File of Approved Plans
Upon approval, JAS Pacific will provide the City with a digital file of the plans that have achieved approval status. This will relieve the City from performing this function within their offices and the digital file of the approved plans will be available when the approved plan sets are returned to the Building & Safety Department.
JAS PACIFIC | 55
Transmittals
Upon completion of each review, JAS Pacific will submit an Invoice Slip detailing the project address, permit number, date of completion, hours spent, status, and plan checker assigned.
Electronic Plan Review (E-Review)
JAS Pacific can provide the City with an Internet-based system in support of plan review services for electronic plan submission (E-Submittal). This document workflow solution will allow applicants and City personnel to initiate and complete the plan review process online (including the submission of electronic comments), rather than using a manual, paper-based process that requires printing and shipping. Said services will improve the plan review cycle, reduce costs (i.e. paper use, printing and storage costs, drive time, and gasoline consumption), and support JAS Pacific’s Business Friendly Policy of providing services in a streamlined and seamless fashion as efficiently as possible. JAS Pacific staff has worked with various programs including, but not limited to, Project Dox, Blue Beam, and E-Plan Soft.
File Transfer Portal
JAS Pacific will provide a cloud-based file transfer portal that will allow for the uploading of all electronic files. We use secure content collaboration, file sharing, and sync solution that supports all the document tasks and workflow needs of electronic plan review. All parties on the file box are notified when plans are uploaded, modified, or accessed.
Restrictions can easily be placed on the file to maintain control and ensure the files are up-to-date documents.
Marked-up | Approved Plans
JAS Pacific will provide the City and applicant with a file of the plans along with a clear and concise correction list. This review and correction list development will take place utilizing Bluebeam which allows for clear identification of corrections and their location on the plans. This process results in a quicker response time from applicants due to the simplicity of access to each area that requires correction.
Real-Time Plan Tracking
JAS Pacific utilizes a cloud-based system to provide up-to-the-minute “Real-Time” tracking of plans currently in our queue.
This system provides many features related to the management of projects, however, the key components include the project start date, due date, and the disposition. Notifications are sent when the project’s due date approaches, is completed, and approvals are given. The City would have full access to this program to view the status of each project currently under review with JAS Pacific.
Availability to the Public | Meetings
JAS Pacific will be available to all City staff and applicants to ensure an efficient plan review process is achieved and to maintain communication. Meetings – At the request of the City, JAS Pacific will be present for all necessary meetings, including but not limited to, project pre-submittal, during the review process, and after permit issuance.
