COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUDGET
SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT NO. 2
Recommendation:
1. Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to update the fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 and 2024-25 budget and submit revisions of the Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into agreements with eligible subrecipients and purchase of supplies, programs, and equipment as noted in the FY 2023-24 and 2024-25 Action Plan and Budget.
Fiscal Impact:
The update to the FY 2023-24 and 2024-25 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget has no financial impact on the General Fund. The attached budget (Enclosures 2 and 3) reflects the FY 2023-24 remaining balance, FY 2024-25 allocation and the proposed funding distribution.
Background:
The City of Pico Rivera (City) receives an annual funding allocation in CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are used for programs or projects that expand economic opportunities for low and moderateincome households. Examples include public service projects, social services programs, and economic development activities. Each year, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan in connection with the five-year Consolidated Plan, which details how the City will spend its allocated CDBG funds.

Staff recommends allocating funds to the above-listed activities, which are further outlined below:
• Program administration funds are utilized for administration and planning activities, such as general management, oversight, preparing budgets and schedules, and preparing reports and other HUD-required documents. These funds help cover the consultant costs for the administration of the program.
Planning and administration costs are capped to 20% of the program year’s allocated CDBG entitlement, plus any program income received during that year. • The City is required to provide fair housing resources via a provider who can provide guidance and mediation for fair housing issues and complaints involving landlords and tenants. Fair housing activities are eligible administrative activities, and these costs are also subject to the 20% administration cap. • The Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority (SASSFA) provides congregate meals at the Senior Center and home delivered meals to senior residents of Pico Rivera. In addition to meals, SASSFA provides home chores/personal care and respite services. These are public service activities with costs capped to 15% of the program year’s allocated CDBG entitlement, plus any program income received during that year.
• Heart of Compassion offers direct assistance to low-income Pico Rivera residents by distributing fresh fruits, vegetables, and other essential items twice a week. As public service activities these costs are also subject to the 15% public service cap.
• The Handyworker Grant Program is a home rehabilitation program. It allows up to $30,000 in grant funds for low-income homeowners with critical home repair needs. Staff recommends allocating $125,000 to this program for the upcoming fiscal year.
• Teen Center Project – No additional funds are required. A balance of $125,544 will be rolled over to FY 2024-25 to cover minor outstanding improvements and retention payments. The funds support necessary improvements for the completion of this project.
• Citywide Sidewalk Infrastructure Improvements (NEW)- This project is a new CDBG project for FY 2024-25 to make substantial improvements of sidewalks throughout the City that improves the useful life of more than eight (8) years.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 AND 2024-25 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUDGET SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT NO. 2
Environmental Analysis:
In accordance with Section 15378 and Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines and Section 24 CFR 58.34(a) of the National Environmental Protection Act (“NEPA”), the approval of Substantial Amendment No. 2 is exempt from CEQA and NEPA respectively. Under CEQA, the approval of Substantial Amendment No. 2 is exempt from CEQA under the Section 15061(b)(3)’s common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Moreover, CEQA regulations Section 15378(b)(4) also provides that a “project” does not include government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
In this instance, Substantial Amendment No. 2 is merely a governmental fiscal activity required by HUD and does not approve or authorize any specific project that would have a significant effect on the environment.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to submit an updated FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 Action Plan and budget to HUD and enter into agreements with eligible subrecipients for the purchase of supplies, programs and equipment.

1. Introduction
The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan for the City of Pico Rivera satisfies the requirements to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program was created by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1974. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.
Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the three national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight. • Meeting a community development need having a particular urgency.
As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City is required to prepare a five-year strategic plan that identifies housing and community needs, prioritizes these needs, and develops a strategic plan to address priority needs. This document is called the Consolidated Plan. The City’s most recent Consolidated Plan covers the fiscal years 2020-2025. On an annual basis, the City prepares an annual action plan that identifies the specific activities the City will undertake with its annual CDBG allocation to meet the priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 is the fifth year of the Consolidated Plan cycle.
For FY 2024-25, the City’s CDBG Entitlement grant is estimated at $589,071. The City does not anticipate any carryover or program income.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic plan that utilizes an extensive analysis of housing and community market data to identify priority needs. Corresponding goals and objectives for the use of CDBG funds are established and are carried out through the development of the Annual Action Plan.
The following are high priority activities that have been identified as part of the five-year Consolidated Plan period:
• Housing Rehabilitation

1. Introduction
As required by HUD, nonprofits and community residents were provided an opportunity to review and comment on the draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan.
Residents were encouraged to participate in a public hearing held on April 23, 2024. The draft Annual Action Plan was available for public review and comment for a minimum of 30 days, March 22, 2024 to April 23, 2024. Copies of the Action Plan were available to the public on the City’s website.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The principal provider of community development and economic development programs, housing projects, and financial support is the City of Pico Rivera. The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency administers the Section 8 Voucher program. Activities to be undertaken by the Housing Assistance Agency are identified in the Public Housing Agency (PHA) Five-Year Action Plan.
Activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies are conducted on a regular basis including inviting applications from various (i.e., housing, mental health, etc.) providers.
Continued coordination is anticipated for planning efforts, as well as project implementation, between all these groups.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City coordinates the delivery of homeless services with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). For over 20 years, LAHSA has been the primary applicant to HUD on behalf of the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. LAHSA provides grants to homeless organizations in Pico Rivera. These programs provide support services and shelter opportunities for situationally homeless individuals and families, and the chronically homeless.
The City of Pico Rivera is also a member of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG) which leads efforts to address homelessness within the southeast Los Angeles County Annual Action Plan 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
region. COG members collaborate and continually seek funding to develop a plan to advance individuals from homelessness to a stable and productive life. Existing models of success have been identified in the work of the Gateway Cities Ad Hoc Committee on Homelessness.
CDBG funding is also provided to social services organizations to assist low-income Pico Rivera residents in need of assistance.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS.
The City of Pico Rivera is not a recipient of ESG funds thus it is not involved in the allocation of ESG funds, developing performance standards, program outcomes, or operational/Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) policies and procedures.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Pico Rivera recognizes its responsibility to assist at risk households and the homeless as such, it has designated homelessness prevention as a high priority for the community; emergency and transitional shelters are also designated as high priority needs. City partnerships with local agencies support client outreach and assessment.
Describe the jurisdiction’s one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless people (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs.
The City makes use of and partners with available County resources to outreach and address issues pertaining to homelessness. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) operates the Los Angeles County Homeless Outreach Portal where anyone in the City (i.e., City staff, business owners, residents) can request that a County homeless outreach team be dispatched to assess a person’s needs and potentially make a referral for additional services.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless people.
The City is an active participant in regional homeless planning efforts including those of LAHSA. Through these efforts, the City can coordinate the use of limited CDBG funds to address local homeless needs and contribute to a regional strategy to reduce homelessness. CDBG public service grants may be used to provide a safety net for area residentsthat are also at risk of becoming homeless.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Permanent housing and independent living are the end goal of the City’s homeless prevention efforts. To this end, the City will encourage service providers to make every effort to minimize the amount of time an individual/household remain homeless, provide access to affordable housing, and to minimize recidivism. In recent years, the "housing first" model has been implemented by several homeless service providers. These rapid rehousing programs have helped reduce the number of those experiencing homelessness Annual Action Plan 28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
by providing permanentshelter and criticalsupportive services.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
Although the City has limited funds, it is committed to assisting low-income individuals and families to avoid experiencing homelessness. The City is an active participant in regional homeless planning efforts including those of LAHSA. Through these efforts, the City can coordinate the use of limited CDBG funds to address local homeless needs and contribute to a regional strategy to reduce homelessness. CDBG public service grants can provide a safety net for area residents that are also at risk of becoming homeless.
The City of Pico Rivera is actively engaged in a range of coordinated efforts and active collaboration among community organizations, the business community and concerned residents dedicated to overcoming homelessness in our community. The City currently engages a full-time Sheriff’s Deputy who assists the unsheltered in the city. The City of Pico Rivera partners with the following non-profits that assist low-income individuals and families to avoid homelessness:
Whittier First Day- local non-profit organization which provides the following services:
transitional bridge housing, on-site meals, clothing, 12 step meetings, education, training, employment assistance, transportation, on-site health clinic, health screenings, mental health services, and case management.
The Whole Child - provides children, adolescents, and families in the community with affordable, culturally sensitive, and professional mental services.

Discussion
The City also makes referrals to 2-1-1 which is a comprehensive informational and referral system linking Los Angeles County residents to community health and human services and support. 2-1-1 connects people every day to shelters, food, low-cost counseling, subsidized childcare, employment services, and a range of services for individual and family selfsufficiency.
The programs identified above, which address various needs that can help support individuals or families avoid homelessness, demonstrate that addressing this issue is complex and requires many partners to come to the table. The City is fortunate that it can utilize this network of agencies to provide housing and supportive services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome barriers are detailed in the City’s Housing Element and mirrored in the Consolidated Plan.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment.
The City will utilize several policies intended to provide additional flexibility in housing site planning and promote more intense development where appropriate:
• The City’s Housing Sites Inventory Program helps ensure that the City continuously monitors available sites in the area that may be appropriate for residential uses. • Density Floor is another tool that can be used to promote the maximum use of residential land. The Density Floor would establish a minimum density requirement within a given residential land-use designation. The availability of developable acreage in upper density ranges allows for the development of certain types of housing.
• The City will continue to consider alternate forms of residential development, including various types of small-lot, single-family subdivisions; mobile home parks that allow owner-occupied spaces; senior citizen multifamily housing developments offering various degrees of care and assistance; mixed-use residential, and planned unit developments.
• Developers will be encouraged to pursue projects providing low- and moderateincome housing. California has provided regulations to govern the approval process, permitting greater density for affordable housing projects that include additional incentives to the developer. The City utilizes this Density Bonus to encourage developers interested in additional density with an incentive to develop a portion of their market rate project as affordable to low- and moderate- income households.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
Outlined below are the actions the City will implement to address the “Other” sub-strategies of the Consolidated Plan.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
The City of Pico Rivera’s 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan proposes projects and activities to meet housing and community priorities needs. The Plan includes programs, projects, and activities to be undertaken that address the needs of the underserved in Pico Rivera.
Specific activities to be carried out during FY 2024-25 include the following:
• Support for nonprofit agencies, particularly those that provide social services for special needs populations, i.e. – senior and lower income households with a cost burden.
• Programs that improve the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in substandard housing, e.g., handy worker repairs/improvements, public facility/infrastructure improvements. • Programsthat promote fair housing, especially among lower income households.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing.
In general, the City will utilize several policies to provide flexibility in housing site planning and to promote more intense development where appropriate. The City’s Housing Sites Inventory Program helps ensure that the City monitors available sites that may be appropriate for residential uses. The City will also continue to consider alternate forms of residential development, including small-lot, single-family subdivisions; mobile home parks that allow owner-occupied spaces; senior citizen multifamily housing developments offering various degrees of care and assistance; mixed-use residential, office and commercial developments; and planned unit developments. Additionally, the City will encourage developers to pursue projects providing low- and moderate-income housing by providing incentives such as a density bonus. If appropriate and available, subsidies to offset the cost of acquisition, development or project-related off-site improvements may be considered.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards.
HUD’s Lead Based Paint regulations require all units assisted with CDBG and HOME Annual Action Plan 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
funds be inspected and abated. The City does not receive HOME funds, but its CDBG Handyworker program guidelines include measures to ensure compliance with the regulations which comply with the requirements of Lead Safe Housing Regulation 24 CFR Part 35 effective September 15, 2000, and the subsequent September 2000 HUD transition assistance policy. The City will refer any cases of suspected lead poisoning to the Los Angeles County Public Health Department for investigation.
Additionally, in accordance with current federal regulations, the City of Pico Rivera’s policy regarding lead-based paint hazards states that all housing units that receive some form of City housing rehabilitation assistance, that were built prior to 1978, must undergo lead- based paint testing prior to receiving funding for rehabilitation. If deteriorated lead-based paint surfaces are found, they must be stabilized during the rehabilitation of the property. Abatement must be performed by a certified lead-based paint professional, and a Clearance Inspection must be issued by the certified lead-based paint assessor prior to the issuance of a Notice of Completion.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families.
The activities and services the City will provide during FY 2024-25 to combat and prevent poverty include the following:
• Preserve affordable housing options for residents including housing rehabilitation assistance and federal rental assistance via Housing Choice Voucher and Certificates administered by the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency. • Provide public services to assist lower-income seniors and households to improve their quality of life.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure.
The City has tried to develop an institutional structure that will help identify and access resources to improve the community. The City will continue to work with nonprofit entities to deliver public services. As a partner of LAHSA, the City will provide critical information to the County of Los Angeles for preparation of the County’s Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grant applications. Pico Rivera will provide critical information regarding mainstream funds the City will make available to serve the homeless and will also assist in identifying and prioritizing gaps and needs in the regional system of care. Additionally, the Annual Action Plan 34
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
City will continue to assist the Housing Authority implement its Five-year Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan.
The City is also a participant in the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG) which is addressing homelessness in the southeast Los Angeles County region. COG members represent a variety of local, County, and special districts government agencies. The COG model helps break down existing institutional barriers and create new opportunities for cooperative-based regional solutions.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.
The City’s Community and Economic Development Department works closely with other City departments and the community to develop programs and activities that improve lowand moderate-income neighborhoods throughout Pico Rivera. The administration of program activities includes housing, public facility and infrastructure improvements, public and social service activities, and economic development activities. The City collaborates with public agencies, for-profit agencies, and non-profit organizations to provide the programming and services. As outlined above,the City also participatesin numerous efforts to coordinate short- term and long-term solutions to regional issues.
Discussion:
HUD regulations require that the City prepare an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing choice (Al). In addition to identifying fair housing impediments, a strategy to overcome barriers must be developed and implemented; accomplishments are to be reported annually. The City has updated the document and prepared a new AI for the time-period of FY 2020-21 through 2024-25.
The City's current AI evaluates existing demographic data, past fair housing enforcement activity, city- specific mortgage lender data, and existing housing and land use public policies. Based on an analysis of this data, and the input of residents, a list of impediments to fair housing choice was developed. A corresponding set of action steps to ameliorate these barriers was also prepared.

For FY 2023-2024, the City received $559,364 in CDBG funds. For FY 2024-2025, the City received $589,071 in CDBG funds. As part of the proposed FY 2023-2024 Substantial Amendment No.2, the City anticipates reducing the FY 2023-2024 Teen Center Renovation funds by $93,000 and roll over a balance of $33,000 to FY 2024-2025.

Subject: CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
SERVICES – AUTHORIZED AGENT SIGNATURE FORM130 FOR NON-STATE AGENCIES Recommendation:
1. Approve a resolution recognizing the State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies – Form-130 and appoint the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Director of Administrative Services as authorized agents of the City of Pico Rivera to file and engage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the State of California for grants and disaster assistance applied for by the City.

4 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 2024 CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES – AUTHORIZED AGENT SIGNATURE FORM-130 FOR NON-STATE AGENCIES
Discussion:
During an emergency, a statewide or regional disaster can be declared by the Governor of California. A disaster can also be declared by the President of the United States to make federal financial assistance available under Public Law 93-288. To apply for financial assistance, the City Council must authorize certain individuals to submit documentation to Cal OES and FEMA.
Cal OES has provided guidance with clear instructions to provide titles, rather than names of approved personnel on the Cal OES Form-130. This will ensure that the list of authorized personnel remains current should there be a change in personnel and will not require an update for another three (3) years. The three (3) staff positions identified in the resolution that may submit a request for public assistance to Cal OES and FEMA on behalf of the City are as follows:
1. City Manager
2. Assistant City Manager
3. Director of Administrative Services
Conclusion:
Staff recommends approving a resolution recognizing the State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for NonState Agencies – Form-130 and appoint the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Director of Administrative Services as authorized agents of the City of Pico Rivera.

Subject: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF
APPLICATIONS FOR THE BEVERAGE CONTAINER
RECYCLING GRANT PROGRAM OF THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES RECYCLING AND
RECOVERY
Recommendation:
1. Approve a resolution authorizing the City of Pico Rivera (City) to submit applications for funding under the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) – Beverage Container Recycling Grant Program; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all program-related documents and administer funding if the City’s application is selected for CalRecycle’s Beverage Container Recycling Program.
Fiscal Impact:
The costs associated with the activities of CalRecycle’s Beverage Container Recycling Grant Program – RBC36 (Grant Program) are funded entirely by awarded monies received from the grant program. Funding allocations are awarded based on the thoroughness and quality of the project; however, if the application is selected, the City is eligible to receive a maximum of $222,000. There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund from this action.
Background:
CalRecycle offers the Grant Program pursuant to Section 14581(a)(4) of the Public Resources Code. The purpose of the Grant Program is to issue up to $1,500,000 annually in the form of grants for beverage container recycling and litter reduction programs that aim to promote increased recycling of beverage containers throughout California and reduce beverage container litter in the waste stream.
The City has never applied for the competitive Beverage Container Recycling Grant before. It has, however, received and managed funds from the Beverage Container Payment Program ranging from $15,000 to $18,000 per award. These funds were previously used to purchase multiple waste-stream systems to improve recycling efforts 5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 2024
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS FOR THE
BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING GRANT PROGRAM OF THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES RECYCLING AND RECOVERY
at City facilities and events, install water filling stations, and conduct public outreach and education. If the grant is awarded, the City will proceed with a recycling program that includes the purchase two (2) water refill trailers, a portable recycling bin system (including: 20 bins, bin bases, signage, liners, and transportation cart) and marketing materials to carry out an online and in-person public outreach effort.
Discussion:
CalRecycle administers $1,500,000 annually for cities and counties with eligible programs, for activities and projects that support the beverage container recycling goal of 80%, such as:
• Litter reduction through waste streams that include beverage container recycling; • Litter clean-up events;
• Water refill stations; and
• Public education promoting beverage container recycling.
CalRecycle’s guidelines require jurisdictions to submit its completed funding request certification along with an approved resolution that authorizes application submission, identifies the specific CalRecycle program for which the applicant is eligible, designates staff for administration of the program-related documentation, and establishes the time period for which the authorizations are valid, preferably until rescinded. Program expenditures may start no earlier than the date of the award, which will tentatively begin March 2025. Distribution of payments will begin April 2025, and the term will end April 1, 2027. The City must approve and submit a new resolution to CalRecycle to participate and be eligible for the Grant Program funds.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City’s submission of an application for the Grant Program and authorizing the City Manager to execute all program-related documents and administer the program if the City’s application is selected for funding.

Meeting Date: October 8, 2024
Subject: RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE, ETHICS, AND
ACCOUNTABILITY CHARTER AMENDMENT – MEASURE G
Recommendation:
1. Approve a resolution supporting the Los Angeles County Government Structure, Ethics, and Accountability Charter Amendment, also known as Measure G on the November 2024 ballot.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of approving this resolution.
Background:
Los Angeles County (County), the most populous county in the United States, has operated under a governance structure that has remained largely unchanged since 1912. The County is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors, each representing approximately two million residents, and is responsible for addressing a wide array of complex issues such as homelessness, public safety, transportation, and public health.
The Board of Supervisors adopted a budget of $45.6 billion for fiscal year 2025. The current governance model has been criticized for its inability to provide equitable representation and adequately respond to the diverse needs of all County residents.
In response to these challenges, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has introduced Measure G, the Los Angeles County Government Structure, Ethics, and Accountability Charter Amendment. This measure aims to modernize the County's governance by expanding the Board of Supervisors from five to nine members, establishing an elected County Executive, and creating an independent Ethics Commission. These reforms are designed to enhance accountability, transparency, and representation within County government.
Measure G will be placed on the ballot for voter approval for the November 2024 election.
The measure is supported by several local and regional organizations, including the California Contract Cities Association (CCCA), which represents over 80 cities in the 6 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 2024
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE, ETHICS AND ACCOUNTABILITY CHARTER AMENDMENT – MEASURE G
County and has expressed strong support for the reform efforts.
Discussion:
Los Angeles County's population has increased from 500,000 in 1912 to over 10 million today, yet the governance structure has remained stagnant. Each of the five (5) Supervisors currently represents two million residents, far exceeding the representation ratios seen in most other counties or municipalities across the nation. This limited representation has made it increasingly difficult for Supervisors to effectively serve their constituents, address local issues, and manage the vast responsibilities of County government.
Key Reforms in Measure G
Expanding the Board of Supervisors from five to nine members is a critical component of Measure G. This change would significantly improve representation by reducing the number of residents per district from two million to approximately 1.1 million, enabling Supervisors to better engage with their communities and address local concerns. For cities like Pico Rivera, this increased representation could lead to more focused attention on issues such as homelessness, transportation, and economic development.
The creation of an elected County Executive will introduce a system of checks and balances similar to those found in state and city governments. The County Executive will oversee day-to-day operations, including budget management, and provide accountability for County departments and programs. This role is essential for ensuring the efficient management of County resources and will make the County more responsive to the needs of residents. By creating an elected County Executive, Measure G aims to improve operational transparency and reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Measure G establishes an independent Ethics Commission tasked with investigating allegations of misconduct, enforcing ethics regulations, and ensuring compliance with County rules. This Commission will serve as a safeguard against corruption and will foster public trust by holding elected officials and County employees accountable for their actions.
With transparency and ethics being core components of Measure G, this reform will help create a more open and accountable government, addressing concerns about lobbying, conflicts of interest, and improper use of County resources.
Measure G also includes the creation of a Director of Budget and Management, a County Legislative Analyst, and a Governance Reform Task Force to oversee the implementation of the proposed changes. Additionally, the measure mandates open budget hearings for departments and requires regular review of the County Charter to ensure the governance structure remains responsive to evolving needs. The measure will also authorize the suspension, with or without pay, of an elective County officer who has been criminally charged with a felony related to a violation of official duties.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 2024
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE, ETHICS AND ACCOUNTABILITY CHARTER AMENDMENT – MEASURE G
Measure G has garnered support from a wide coalition of community leaders and organizations, labor unions, civil rights groups, and elected and local government officials.
The CCCA has endorsed the measure, recognizing that the proposed reforms will lead to more equitable representation and improve the responsiveness of County government to the needs of its member cities. The CCCA's endorsement reflects the widespread belief that reform is necessary to address pressing challenges such as homelessness, public safety, and public health across Los Angeles County.
As a city with ongoing concerns about homelessness, public safety, and improved transportation infrastructure, Pico Rivera stands to gain from a more representative and efficient County government. The City’s support for Measure G aligns with its commitment to improving governance and ensuring that the voices of its residents are heard at the County level.
The Measure will be funded with existing County funding resources and result in no additional costs, or taxes imposed on taxpayers, with any implementation costs to be offset by cost savings, as determined through the annual County budgeting process.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution in support of Measure G, the Los Angeles County Government Structure, Ethics, and Accountability Charter Amendment. By supporting Measure G, the City of Pico Rivera will be advocating for reforms that will benefit the City and its residents, particularly in areas such as homelessness, public safety, and County resource allocation.

Subject: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO MAINTENANCE SERVICES
AGREEMENT NO. 21-2018 WITH WEST COAST
ARBORISTS, INC. FOR TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Recommendation:
1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to Maintenance Services Agreement No. 21-2018 with West Coast Arborists, Inc. to provide additional tree maintenance services in the amount not-to-exceed $65,000; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment in a form approved by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 Adopted Budget in Account No. 100.40.4030-54500 (Street Maintenance, Contracted Services) has adequate appropriations to cover the $65,000 cost of the recommended amendment. No additional appropriations are required at this time.
Background:
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 pre-designated grid, allowing for efficient block trimming and cost savings.
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 7 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 2024 AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 21-2018 WITH WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC. FOR TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
of trees Citywide. On July 9, 2024, the City and WCA mutually agreed to exercise the first of two (2) one-year option renewals for an annual cost of $440,000, increasing the total agreement amount to $1,640,000.
Discussion:
The Rosemead Boulevard Median and Parkways Beautification Project, CIP No. 50076 will beautify the corridor and reduce the urban heat island effect. The improvements included in the project consist of the installation of drought-tolerant plants and trees, irrigation systems, decomposed granite, boulders, cobblestone, iron fence, anti-litter signs, artistic elements, historical markers, trash containers, iron bus benches where needed, and wayfinding signage.
In a section of Rosemead Boulevard where the project will be renovated, large Ficus trees require extensive pruning and crown reduction. Although they are scheduled for pruning at a future date as part of the overall pre-designated grid, staff would like to expedite the pruning of these trees and this work is being the normal prune. The crown of the tree will be reduced along with a “thinning” of the tree branches. Expediting the trimming of the Ficus trees on Rosemead Boulevard would align with the construction completion of the Rosemead Boulevard Median and Parkways Beautification Project and will ensure uniformity with the overall aesthetic of the new medians and parkways. Coordinating this work while still under construction will allow for the work to be completed more expeditiously.
Staff is satisfied with the quality of work provided by WCA, the current citywide tree maintenance contractor, and would like to proceed with awarding this work to them.

Future years will be budgeted during the City' s annual budget process. 9 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT — MEETING OF AUGUST 10, 2021
CONTRACT FOR TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES WITH WEST COAST
ARBORISTS, INC.
Discussion:
Based on a tree inventory conducted in 2020, the City has approximately 12, 500 street, park and parkway trees comprising its urban forestry with an estimated value of 36, 500, 000. Trees provide many benefits, including reduced pollution, energy conservation, economic stability, beautification and increased property values.
On August 19, 2019, the Tree Maintenance Services Request for Proposals ( RFP) was posted on the City' s
website through PlanetBids. com, a web -based procurement company. On September 5, 2019, Public Works received two ( 2) proposals. After reviewing the proposals, West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) was determined to be the best contractor for tree maintenance services. WCA has a 47 -year track record of working for more than 300 California and Arizona municipalities, as well as other agencies. The company has been in business since 1972 and specializes in Class C61 ( Tree Service) as well as Class C27 ( Landscaping). WCA employs over 80 Certified Arborists and over 140 Certified Tree workers, as recognized by the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. Current and former clients include, but not limited to the County of Los Angeles, and the cities of Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, Temple City, and Pico Rivera. On December 10, 2019, a tree maintenance service contract in the amount of 859, 75 was awarded to WCA based on a five- year trimming cycle.
To better serve the community, more effectively preserve the urban tree canopy, and mitigate the negative environmental effects of the urban heat sink, the City intends to change the tree trimming cycle from five ( 5) years to three ( 3) years. The term of the current contract with WCA is for three ( 3) years ending on December 10, 2022 with two 2) one- year optional renewals ending in December 10, 2024. The options considered were to extend and modify the current agreement with WCA, or seek proposals for services and enter into a new contract with the lowest responsible bidder. At the July 13, 2021, City Council meeting, Staff was directed to seek new bids to ensure the City was getting the best possible value for services.
Staff investigated a new request for proposal process and also researched current regional pricing. During this process it was discovered that the City of Santa Fe Springs had recently concluded a proposal process for the same services. The proposals were received in January 2021 and the award was made by Council in April 2021. The pricing received during that bid was very favorable compared to the City' s current pricing and in
comparison to cities in the region. With consideration to gaining the best value for the City and eliminating the risk of potentially receiving higher bids, staff investigated utilizing the City of Santa Fe Springs' bid process.
The City' s Municipal Code, Section 3. 20. 030( c) allows for a purchase to be made as indicated below:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT — MEETING OF AUGUST 10, 2021
CONTRACT FOR TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES WITH WEST COAST
ARBORISTS, INC.
by, through, or in concert with another public agency provided the other public agency makes such purchase in accordance with the state laws or local rules and regulations governing such purchasefor the other public agency.
Staff has evaluated the tree trimming proposal process used by the City of Santa Fe Springs and has determined that all the appropriate rules and regulations have been followed and recommends that the City utilize this provision in the Municipal Code to award a contract to WCA for tree trimming services.
Conclusion:
Implementing an adequate annual tree maintenance program is critical in ensuring the proper upkeep, maintenance, and safety of the City' s
urban forest. A comprehensive
maintenance program includes grid ( block -by -block) trimming and removal of hazardous and declining trees. Staff recommends approving an agreement for tree maintenance services with WCA for a base three- year period with two ( 2) one- year renewal options.

Subject: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT NO. 19-1887 WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND
ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE WASHINGTON TRANSITORIENTED DEVELOPMENT SPECIFIC PLAN Recommendation:
1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement No. 19-1887 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. extending the contract to June 30, 2025;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment in a form approved by the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize an additional appropriation of $38,000 from the Economic Sustainability Fund (F255) for the Specific Plan Project.
Fiscal Impact:
The project is currently budgeted in the amount of $620,196 as follows: Measure R State Grant (207.70.7300-54500-CIP 50015 - $390,000), Economic Sustainability Fund (255.70.7300-54500-CIP 50015 - $210,196), and “in-kind” Planning/Economic Development staff time in the CIP Fund (400.70.7300-54500–CIP.50015 - $20,000). An additional appropriation of $38,000 will be needed to complete the project. Should the City Council approve the budget adjustment, $38,000 will be appropriated from the Economic Sustainability Fund balance to Account No. 255.70.7300-54500-CIP. 50015 (Contracted Services) increasing the total budget to $658,196.
Background:
On March 27, 2018, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority awarded the City of Pico Rivera (City) a $390,000 grant to prepare a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan within a half-mile radius of the proposed Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project. The project would potentially extend the L-Line 8 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 2024 AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 19-1887

DEVELOPMENT SPECIFIC PLAN
(formerly Gold Line) from East Los Angeles through the cities of Commerce, Montebello, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Whittier, and the unincorporated communities of East Los Angeles and West Whittier-Los Nietos. The TOD Specific Plan will identify land use policy, create development standards, and define economic revitalization goals for a transit-oriented neighborhood centered at the Washington Boulevard and Rosemead Boulevard intersection which is within the half-mile radius of the proposed rail extension.
Discussion:
On June 11, 2019, the City awarded Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) a contract for the creation of a Washington Boulevard TOD Specific Plan. Kimley-Horn is a full-service planning, engineering, and environmental consulting firm providing services since 1967 to private and public clients nationwide. Kimley-Horn has been involved in numerous transit-oriented development and specific plan projects throughout the nation and within Los Angeles County, including Metro grant-funded projects.
These include the City of Duarte’s Gold Line Station Area Development Specific Plan and the City of Downey’s Rancho Los Amigos South Campus TOD Specific Plan.
Due to unforeseen events, the Consultant’s project manager and the City project manager are no longer able to lead the project. The contract agreement expired on June 30, 2024, and staff is requesting that the agreement be extended to June 30, 2025. The extension will give the Consultant and staff sufficient time to produce a comprehensive final product.
In the course of creating this plan, it was necessary to amend components of the plan, such as the traffic, land use, and parking study produced by the consultant team. As such an increase of $38,000 is needed to complete the project.
The revised total project budget is summarized as follows:
Funding Category Amount
Metro TOD Grant (Measure R) $390,000
Local Match – Economic Sustainability Fund $210,196
Local Match – Additional Being Requested $38,000
In-Kind Staff Time (Planning/Economic Development) $20,000 TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET $658,196

RE: Contract Amendment No. 2 (to Original Contract dated June 12, 2019) Washington/Rosemead TOD Specific Plan and EIR
Dear Alvie:
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) appreciates the opportunity to submit this contract amendment to provide continued planning and environmental support servicesto the City of Pico Rivera (“the Client”) for Washington/Rosemead TOD Specific Plan and EIR (“the Project”). This contract amendment has been prepared to identify additional scope and budget requirements to make the requested additional Specific Plan land use revisions, as well as associated additional project management and meeting costs. We have also identified scope of work modifications and budget reallocationsthat could offset the estimated additional costs.
Finally, as our last contract amendment extended the agreement until June 30, 2024, we have identified the need to extend the agreement further, as well as provide for a 5% rate adjustment for work done after August 31, 2024.
SCOPE OF WORK
TASKS RELATED TO THE REVISED LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS
Task 1 – SP Revisions (additional budget)
The City has requested that Kimley-Horn revise the land use plan and associated density assumptions in the Specific Plan. This task requires Kimley-Horn to revise the land use tables, land use plan, and associated text and graphics throughout the Specific Plan. In addition, this task provides for additional coordination time with City staff to finalize the land use assumptions (up to 10 hours of staff time for additional coordination related to the land use assumptions). In addition, following this land use revision, this task assumes that there will be no further revisions to the Specific Plan land use assumptions, and any remaining Specific Plan comments from City staff will be provided as consolidated reconciled comments in one batch, and will be relatively minor (mostly editorial). This task assumes one final round of City review, followed by City review of a “check copy” of the Draft Specific Plan.
Exhibit 1-C
kimley-horn.com 3801 University Avenue, Suite 300, Riverside, CA 92501 951 543 9868 Task 2 –Draft EIR (additional budget)
The Specific Plan land use assumption revisions will require revisions throughout the Administrative Draft EIR, including updating quantitative discussionsthat are based on the land uses and associated densities. This task also includes additional time for the EIR staff to coordinate with the Specific Plan and traffic team regarding the revised land use assumptions (up to 10 hours of Kimley-Horn staff time). This task assumes that City staff will provide any remaining EIR comments as one consolidated reconciled set of comments, per Task 5.4 of our March 4, 2019 proposal. The multiple rounds of Administrative Draft EIR comments and extended timeframe in EIR coordination has expended our Administrative Draft and Draft EIR budgets.
Up to 100 hours of Kimley-Horn staff time is assumed for Administrative Draft EIR preparation, final revisions based on City comments, and Draft EIR public release. In addition, we assume that any remaining EIR comments are relatively minor and do not require any new or revised technical analyses. To reduce our additional costs for this task, Kimley-Horn assumes that City staff will handle all Draft EIR noticing and distribution. KimleyHorn will review the notices and distribution list and will provide bookmarked PDF copies and camera-ready copies for the City’s use in noticing, distribution, and posting the EIR on the City’s website and with the State Clearinghouse.
Task 3 – Traffic Study Revisions (additional budget)
In order to address the land use assumption revisions, the Mobility Assessment will need to be updated.
− Update Trip Generation by Block based on revised land use and density information, including internal capture reduction calculations
− Update Trip assignment to each study intersection using Vistro model − Update Synchro model with new volumes and run intersection level of service (LOS) analysis
− Review updated LOS to determine if there are new project deficiencies and recommend roadway improvements, if needed
− Update Mobility Assessment report and figures with new volumes, LOS results, and recommendations
This task includes up to 10 hours in Kimley-Horn staff time for coordinating the Mobility Assessment revision with City staff and assumes that any further comments from City staff are relatively minor, and do not require any substantive revisions to exhibits or analyses
kimley-horn.com 3801 University Avenue, Suite 300, Riverside, CA 92501 951 543 9868 (up to 10 hours of Kimley-Horn staff time is assumed for responding to City comments on the revised Mobility Assessment).
TASKS RELATED TO PROJECT SCHEDULE EXTENSION
Our prior contract amendment (No. 1) extended our Agreement to June 30, 2024. With the extended duration of project coordination and with the new land use assumption revisions requested by City staff, we recommend that the Agreement be extended until June 30, 2025.
A detailed project schedule can be provided as soon as we have Notice to Proceed on this additional work. We estimate approximately six (6) weeks to produce the revised Specific Plan, revised Administrative Draft EIR, and revised Mobility Assessment following Notice to Proceed.
Task 4a – SP/EIR/Mobility Assessment Revisions/Coordination (additional coordination/meetings to date)
Due to extended project delays we have been requested to update the project schedule on multiple occasions. The extended project schedule and iterative nature of City comments to date has required considerably greater budget than we have for the Specific Plan, EIR and Mobility Assessment. Note that our contract stipulates that we will receive one consolidated set of comments on our work products, which has not been the actual practice to date.
Therefore we are requesting additional budget to offset this additional coordination over the extended period of time in past coordination, calls and document revisions (note that this is only a small fraction of the actual additional costs we have incurred to date).
Task 4b – Project Meetings and Management (future coordination/meetings) With the current requested land use assumption changes and associated additional work, we are now estimating that our work program will go through March 2025 (assuming Notice to Proceed on this additional work by the end of September). This represents an additional nine (9) months of project management and meeting time. In addition, our current contract providesfor monthly team meetings. Thistask assumesthat we have up to six (6) future project update meetings with City staff between now and Project approval hearings, and that these meetings are virtual, and typically attended by up to two (2) Kimley-Horn staff. Up to an additional 40 hours of Kimley-Horn staff time is assumed for project management and meetings through Project approval hearings.
SCOPE OF WORK MODIFICATIONS and BUDGET REALLOCATION REQUEST As discussed with City staff, and as provided for in our current contract (Exhibit 1-A of Agreement Amendment No. 1), Kimley-Horn is proposing as part of this contract amendment No. 2 that available remaining budgets be reallocated to offset the additional cost of this contract amendment. In addition to reallocating funds from tasks with remaining unused
kimley-horn.com 3801 University Avenue, Suite 300, Riverside, CA 92501 951 543 9868 budget (asshown in our latest invoice), the following tasks are assumed to no longer be needed to be completed:
− Implementation Action Plan (no further subconsultant support) − Community Workshop #3 (no further work or subconsultant costs needed) − Subconsultant Other Direct Costs (no further subconsultant costs are anticipated)
AGREEMENT END DATE EXTENSION
As noted above, Kimley-Horn is recommending that our Agreement be extended until June 30, 2025. A detailed schedule will be provided to City staff upon Notice to Proceed for this additional work.
RATE ESCALATION
Our last rate escalation was June 2023, with the Agreement running through June 30, 2024.
This contract amendment No. 2 incorporates a 5% rate increase for all work done effective September 1, 2024.
Additional Services
Any services not specifically provided for in the above Scope, if requested by the Client, will be billed as additional services, and performed at our then-current hourly rates.
SCHEDULE
Kimley-Horn will provide services as expeditiously as practicable with the goal of meeting a mutually agreed upon schedule.
FEE ESTIMATE
Kimley-Horn will perform the Scope of Services outlined above and as noted below in the Fee and Expenses Table. All Tasks will be invoiced on an hourly labor fee plus expense basis with the estimated labor fee shown, in accordance with our then current hourly rate schedule.
Individual task amounts are provided for budgeting purposes only. Kimley-Horn reserves the right to reallocate amounts among tasks as necessary.
Direct reimbursable expensessuch as express delivery services, fees, air travel, and other direct expenses will be billed at 1.15 times cost. Subconsultant charges will be invoiced at cost plus 15%.

kimley-horn.com 3801 University Avenue, Suite 300, Riverside, CA 92501 951 543 9868 the Client.

COVER LETTER

Mr. Steve Carmona, Director of Community and
Economic Development
City of Pico Rivera, Community & Economic Development Department 6615 Passons Boulevard
Pico Rivera, CA 90660
Re: Proposal for Consultant Services for Preparation of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan for the Gold Line Eastside Extension at Washington and Rosemead Boulevards Dear Mr. Carmona, Ms. Foulkes, and Members of the Selection Committee:
Our team’s collective, award winning experience, has shown that a successful implementation-oriented planning process will guide formative change for the City of Pico Rivera.
We stress the following “Success Factors”:
The Specific Plan as a Marketing Tool – An effective Specific Plan should be used to attract investment. To achieve this, it must resonate with potential investors, developers, business owners, and residents. The plan should explicitly describe the benefits to investment, development entitlement process, and other incentives that will attract quality development. The Specific Plan is akin to a Business Plan, providing the strategies and actions that bring the plan to fruition.
A Specific Plan that is Grounded in Reality – Big ideas are great, but a plan should be grounded in reality. We have seen other’s plans fail because they are not based on conditions ‘on the ground.’ The plan must consider the realities and limitations and develop a systematic approach, oftentimes learned by really listening to City and community members, to address and overcome these challenges.
Meaningful and Sustained Community Engagement – Meaningful and Sustained Community Engagement contributes to plans that fulfill the needs, wants, and desires of Pico Rivera residents and stakeholders.
The Planning Process in 360 degrees – Many times unsuccessful planning efforts create policy in silos. We believe that this TOD Specific Plan must be integrated, interconnected, and reinforce community values.
Our small team of experts is looking forward to serving the needs of the City, as set forth in the RFP. Our team, led by Project Manager and the City’s main contact, Dave Barquist, AICP, is made up of:
• Kimley-Horn – Specific Plan Preparation, Mobility/Circulation, Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Preparation, and
Community Engagement
• Keyser Marston – Economic Development/Fiscal Requirements • Crandall Arambula – TOD Urban Design
Our enclosed proposal demonstrates the history of quality, dedication, responsiveness, and experience that the City is looking for in a trusted consultant. We look forward to the next step in the selection process. Dave may be reached at Kimley-Horn, 765 The City Drive, Suite 200, Orange, CA 92868, or by phone at (714) 705-1317, or email at

PROPOSAL FOR
Consultant Services for preparation of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan for the
GOLD LINE EASTSIDE EXTENSION AT WASHINGTON AND ROSEMEAD BOULEVARDS City of Pico Rivera | LPPL77001.19 5
It is likely that development and/or financial incentives will be required to attract desirable, catalytic development. The catalytic development may be different for each Opportunity Site. Therefore, the recommendations and implementation plan will need to consider the resources available to the City as well as the unique characteristics of each Opportunity Site.
Ultimately, KMA will identify economic and financial incentives that can be deployed to enhance a project’s viability. While not exhaustive, the incentive tools that will be considered include:
• Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districs
• Assessment district formation for operation and maintenance of public improvements.
• Community Revitalization and Investment Authorities
• Expedited development processing to accelerate desired projects. • Revised development fee programs to target particular businesses. • Federal Opportunity Zone Investments
• Contribution of site specific public revenues to attract desired development or reuse of existing improvements.
• Alternative land scenarios (e.g. mixed-use development) • Other potential/fundgng/fianancing tools
KMA will prepare a matrix that summarizes the implementation mechanisms and suitability for the Opportunity Sites. The matrix will consider the following issues related to the funding mechanisms:
Task 2.1 Deliverables:
• KMA will synthesize the matrix into a narrative, which summarizes how the funding mechanisms would work in concert. The narrative will also provide a timeline identifying how the program would be implemented.
› TASK 2.2 – Conduct Market and Development Feasibility Study KMA will be keenly aware of the potential synergy for commercial and residential development adjacent to transit. To this end, KMA will rely on our experience with transit oriented developments in the region, particularly locations along Metrolink; the Metro Gold Line, Purple Line and Red Line; and other major TODs such as ARTIC in Anaheim. The scope of services below considers KMA’s extensive experience in the market area and its unique characteristics. To this end, the KMA analysis will include:
Market Area Review
KMA will analyze the makeup of the residents, employment and businesses within the following areas:
1. The pertinent market area;
2. The City of Pico Rivera; and
3. Los Angeles County.
There are a number of important demographic and economic characteristics that will profoundly impact the market support for residential and retail development. Included among these are the number of households, household formation, population, income levels and the resulting retail expenditures potential. In addition, KMA will summarize business patterns in the market area. This information will be obtained from state and local governmental agencies; private firms specializing in demographic and business data; a market area reconnaissance; a review of the general land use plan; any studies the City has performed; a review of reports prepared for the City; and market research conducted by KMA.
Assessment of Market Conditions
The Market Area Review will set the stage for KMA’s subsequent research.
By first identifying the salient factors that will impact future development, KMA can proceed with an assessment of market conditions to identify near- to long-term development opportunities.

› TASK 2.3 – Conduct Parking Study and Parking Management Plan Our approach is intended to provide the specific plan areas with a comprehensive parking strategy that will include parking inventory, review of shared parking arrangements, defining parking demand today and in the future, and presenting recommendations to improve the parking system and enhance economic vitality in the area. The following subtasks define the project approach:
Parking Data Collection – Kimley-Horn will perform a field visit to understand parking inventory, shared parking arrangements, and general parking occupancy for the specific plan area. The field review will strive to define the area parking supply in such a way as to differentiate between transit parking and parking supply for other public utility, allowing the project team to define current parking characteristics and potential arrangements that will better utilize the parking supply.
Parking Demand Evaluation – Using the data collected in the first task and the preferred land use scenario, Kimley-Horn will develop a Microsoft Excel based shared parking model for the study area based upon established industry standards such as ITE and ULI guidelines, with specific sub areas developed to represent consolidated mixed-use areas or areas of defined shared parking. The model will be calibrated to the collected conditions to more accurately reflect the parking demand characteristics in the area. Using these calibrated conditions, Kimley-Horn will model the demand for additional parking due to existing and proposed parking in the study area.
Recommendations – Following the development of parking demand projections, Kimley-Horn will utilize the existing data and proposed parking projections to evaluate supply, balancing through shared parking and incremental parking management strategies. The recommendations will
PROPOSAL FOR
Consultant Services for preparation of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan for the
GOLD LINE EASTSIDE EXTENSION AT WASHINGTON AND ROSEMEAD BOULEVARDS City of Pico Rivera | LPPL77001.19 7
be oriented towards promoting shared parking; a park once philosophy throughout the area; and a parking system that supports and promotes the economic vitality of the community. Following the completion of these tasks, Kimley-Horn will document the analysis, methodology, findings, and recommendations into a draft summary for submission to the City.
Task 2.3 Deliverables:
• Existing Conditions LOS, VMT,
and Parking Analysis Memo
along with tables and graphics
• Future Conditions with
mitigation strategies
with graphics
› TASK 2.4 – Mobility Assessment
Kimley-Horn will review up to three (3) land use scenarios and complete an analysis associated with the preferred land use scenario. This analysis could be utilized to determine the transportation impacts on the street system within the TOD Specific Plan area. We will complete a trip generation calculation and trip distribution assignment for the preferred land use scenario to forecast the potential effects of the preferred land use scenario on the street network.
We will analyze intersection operations based upon the City’s traffic analysis requirements. We have assumed up to 15 intersections and six (6) roadway segments in our analysis. The analysis will identify the level of service (LOS) at each intersection and for the roadway segments. Weekday peak hour intersection operations will be calculated for the following scenarios: Existing Conditions, Existing Conditions + Project, Future Conditions without Project, and Future Conditions + Project.
As part of this task, Kimley-Horn will augment the LOS analysis with a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis. Kimley-Horn will meet with the City’s VMT coordinator to identify the City’s VMT thresholds that would be based upon the recently issued SB 743 guidelines. Kimley-Horn will review the City’s VMT model trip generation assumptions for the study area and complete a VMT analysis based on the City’s VMT model output.
The analysis will provide a determination of significant impacts based on the City’s VMT thresholds. The VMT analysis will be incorporated into the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) currently being prepared.
Complete Streets aspects and non-vehicular mobility in the TOD specific plan area will be evaluated. Kimley-Horn will review the preferred land use scenario and identify locations where density changes or land use changes may affect the way streets are utilized. We will identify opportunities to incorporate complete streets elements to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, along with automobiles. As we incorporate these elements, we will determine the appropriate method to evaluate the LOS at these intersections and roadway segments. We will document the results in the transportation section of the Specific Plan document.
Task 2.4 Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Mobility Assessment
› TASK 2.5 – Community Workshop #2
A second public workshop/meeting will be conducted to discuss the preliminary findings of the background analysis, market and development feasibility, parking study, and traffic/circulation study; summarize the findings from the prior workshop and begin to development of the “two dimensional” land use concepts the may apply to the Specific Plan area.
The workshop will explore a variety of alternatives and seek additional thoughts and ideas from the public.
Task 2.5 Deliverables: • Meeting agenda; Powerpoint presentation; other materials, as necessary
• Meeting Notes

respond to changing market demands.
Task 3.1 Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Land Use Plan
› TASK 3.2 – Prepare Development Standards, Design Guidelines, and Public Improvements
Kimley-Horn will prepare development standards and design guidelines that address the current and proposed design concepts and supportive development for various types of TOD mixed-uses within and directly adjacent to the study area. Based on feedback from previous tasks, the design guidelines are intended to ensure that new development is compatible to the surrounding neighborhood and compliments LACMTA’s Transit Supportive Planning Toolkit’s 10 Characteristics of Transit Supportive Places.
Kimley Horn will identify the improvements needed for the street network and intersections within the specific plan area. Kimley-Horn will review relevant wet and dry infrastructure elements such as gas, power, telephone, communications, water, stormwater, and sewer within the specific plan area, and will determine applicable codes related to engineering and infrastructure design, and inform the project team.
Based upon the preferred land use scenario, we will identify potential improvements that will be required for these infrastructure elements. The analysis will not include detailed engineering calculations but will be more cursory in nature.
Task 3.2 Deliverables:
• Draft and Final development standards and design guidelines › TASK 3.3 – Implementation Action Plan
As the TOD Specific Plan is a long-term policy investment, it is important to have an actionable implementation plan to provide long term project success. The Implementation Action Plan will provide the tangible actions to be under-taken by various parties involved in the Specific Plan’s implementation. Based on the information and results gathered in Tasks 1-3, The Kimley-Horn Team will prepare an implementation plan that identifies and prioritizes issues/goals that require action in the short and/ or long term. To address specific issues within the implementation plan, the following tasks will be conducted:

Planning Services
Our team of planning professionals understands the interrelated nature of development policy and employs a “360 degree” view of planning.
We incorporate this holistic approach in our projects, and create plans, programs, and processes that are effective tools for guiding future growth and change. Our areas of expertise in support of the Pico Rivera TOD Specific Plan include:
Specific Plans and General Plans –Kimley-Horn has extensive experience in the development of Specific Plans (TOD and otherwise), primarily focused on existing urbanized environments. Our plans provide for customized development, design guidance, development standards, and entitlement procedures. Additionally, our expertise includes the development of public improvements such as streetscape/urban design, infrastructure,
parking facilities,
and community
amenities. Our team
has also developed
General Plan policies
for numerous
jurisdictions
throughout California
and is well-versed in
the new legislative
requirements,
including AB 1358,
the Complete Streets
Act, AB 32, and SB 375.
Transportation and Mobility – Kimley-Horn understands that quality of life can be improved by efficient mobility through land use patterns that produce greater efficiency, reduce trips, and provide more choices. Our team’s project experience includes a wide variety of transportation modes, including transit, roadways, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. We also have the benefit of in house capabilities to complete TIA’s and parking studies.
Community Engagement – Kimley-Horn’s planning staff has developed and implemented hundreds of community engagement processes throughout the country. We understand
the dynamic nature of outreach and
have utilized a variety of engagement
techniques, including bilingual facilitation
(we have multiple bilingual staff assigned
to your project), web-based participation,
visual preference surveys, community
workshops, design charrettes, phone
surveys, focus groups, and digital and print media. Our staff is also well versed in conducting workshops for policy makers on planning topics such as mixed-use policies.
Urban Design and Streetscape – Our design professionals have provided comprehensive services for streetscape and urban design projects from design through construction. For all our publicly initiated projects, we understand the important relationship between the public and private realm and provide streetscape and urban amenities that reflect community values and needs. Kimley-Horn’s design professionals have extensive experience in streetscape and landscape plans, city and area-wide design guideline manuals, and post-entitlement streetscape design guidelines. Our focus is on creating a sense of place through appropriate scale, density, land uses, and urban amenities.
For this project we are utilizing the specialized TOD design expertise of Crandall Arambula. Crandall Arambula was established in 1998 to blend visionary planning, design acumen, and practical knowledge in the creation of vibrant and transformative urban places. The firm works across scales of development— region, city, district, corridor, neighborhood and sites—to integrate each community’s vision for growth with land use and transportation planning that balances environmental responsibility, economic vitality, and community character.

highly visual, presentations, one-on-one meetings with key stakeholders, and use of ballot response sheets result in politically defensible plans that are supported by the community and adopted by the local agency. The Kimley-Horn Team’s inclusive approach ensures that planning and design efforts reflect the community’s vision for growth— strengthening community character and assets while promoting economic vitality.
Zoning Codes/Development Codes – Our land use regulatory experts have successfully updated zoning policy for multiple public agencies. Our team has authored comprehensive updates to zoning/development codes and provided tailored amendments, such as overlay zones, mixed-use development standards, affordable housing, and TODs.
CEQA/NEPA and Environmental Services – The Kimley-Horn
environmental services group provides complete natural resource and environmental regulatory compliance services for a broad range of practices, including land development, transportation, roadway, water resources, and aviation. Our CEQA practitioners, including biologists, environmental scientists, and engineers, are well versed in all aspects of environmental processes, from Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation. We can take a project from conception to final build-out. An in-house environmental services group offers the advantage of closer coordination with the design team, helping to avoid problems related to miscommunication or coordination because the two groups work side-by-side every day. Our environmental specialists and engineers have learned to “speak the same language” and work together to deliver a successful project.
Parking Management Plans – Kimley-Horn has considerable experience performing major parking studies for developments and downtown districts, surface and deck designs, and access, circulation, and parking studies for planned communities, transit centers, shopping centers, universities, and other high activity multimodal centers.
Kimley-Horn develops integrated parking strategies for TODs, mixed-use, and development projects, and is often asked to research parking trends and propose innovations ranging from policies to parking management implementation plans.
Sustainability/Healthy Communities –
Sustainability and healthy communities have
become part of the lexicon of planning. Our
plans and processes seek to incorporate
sustainability and healthy communities’
concepts into our planning projects.
Complete Streets, low impact development
(LID), mobility, safe routes to school, access
to healthy food, and bike/trail planning are
examples of sustainability concepts that
have been incorporated into our planning
documents. We have provided awardwinning sustainability policies to our municipal clients, including TODs, General Plan policies, and urban infill Specific Plans.
Economics – Economic Development and sustainability is key to a successful project. Kimley-Horn has partnered with Keyser Marston, a leader in economic development and fiscal viability to provide economic support on this project. Keyser Marston will utilize primary and secondary research, existing city plans, and previous studies and reports to provide a current description of the local and regional market, economic, demographic, and employment findings. Based on their extensive experience working with local public agencies, the team will provide the City a focused study of the Project Area’s real estate development conditions and will outline specific strategies for targeted TOD.
Infrastructure Master Plans – Infrastructure analysis is an integral part of our planning processes. Our civil engineering experts utilize comprehensive analysis and existing conditions, and provide accurate forecasting of infrastructure needs. Future improvement plans are conceptually designed to identify future facilities improvements and provide the basis for local capital improvement programming and funding.
LACMTA and Grant Program Experience - Our team has recent experience with three METRO grant funded TOD Specific Plans. This provides our team with a strong familiarity with the policies, programs, and toolkits they have available for LA County jurisdictions. Many of the toolkits are based upon fundamental principles of TOD Design, development, and sustainable design. Our collective team has applied, modified, and advanced
PROPOSAL FOR
Consultant Services for preparation of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan for the
GOLD LINE EASTSIDE EXTENSION AT WASHINGTON AND ROSEMEAD BOULEVARDS City of Pico Rivera | LPPL77001.19 15
many of these principles with our work throughout the United States.
We understand the management of grant programs and where efficiencies can be gained as he grant is administered. The Kimley-Horn Team understands the reporting requirements of the grants subject to this project and will help the city in streamlining their reporting requirements.
STRATEGY IN MANAGING SIMILAR PROJECTS
Communication is key. Accessibility and open communication are imperative steps in completing a successful project. The Kimley-Horn Team is committed to working as a team with Pico Rivera; we’re here to help.
We believe that the most effective and technically sound work products evolve through clear lines of communication between all participants. As such, we make sure that project assumptions are clearly understood by all project team members. These assumptions include each team member’s role on a project, the type of product to be prepared, and the approvals contemplated for the work program. Early and continual communication allows the team to resolve issues before they become problems leading to potential project delays and additional costs.
There are multiple ways to maintain good lines of communication, and Kimley-Horn will work with the City to determine which methods best fit the City’s style for this project. The City will have ongoing access to our Project Manager, Dave Barquist, AICP, as well as key team members, telephone and e-mail communications are monitored constantly to provide quick response. This communication will be supplemented by progress meetings with City staff and shareholders, as needed.
Schedule and QC/QA Control
Kimley-Horn insists that each project has a carefully structured scope of services, a corresponding schedule, and an accurately developed budget.
We don’t begin an assignment until these three elements are in place and mutually agreed upon by Kimley-Horn and the City. We know that schedule and quality control are equally important. A project that is behind schedule sacrifices the opportunity for quality reviews. We insist that our project managers build into their schedules adequate time for a thorough quality control review so that our project documents can be thorough, accurate, and complete.
To meet schedules and minimize down time, we move beyond a specific project schedule and work plan. To monitor our staff workload, KimleyHorn employs an intensive forecasting technique known as our “castahead” process. This effort involves assessing our project milestones and staff loading on a weekly, monthly, and six-month basis, drilling down to the project team level. This “cast-ahead” process enables us to assign ample staff and technical resources to complete each project on time and to our clients’ satisfaction.
Kimley-Horn’s formal QC/QA program is based upon assigning experienced, senior professionals who are otherwise qualified to manage a particular project, to serve in a quality control role. For the City of Pico Rivera TOD Specific Plan we have assigned two QC/QA reviewers. This fresh perspective and critical eye provides an extra layer of detailed review to provide the City the best experience possible.
Our internal QC/QA program will include:
• An internal kick-off meeting held with key team members assigned to the job to clearly define the scope, outline sub-task responsibilities, establish schedules, and identify project milestones and goals.
• At the end of each phase, a QC/QA review will be conducted as one of several final checks to make sure that the project deliverable is not only technically correct, but also consistent with your objectives. • Any changes or modifications required to respond to the comments and recommendations of the quality control team will be incorporated during the ongoing analysis prior to
submitting deliverables.

Project: Rancho Los Amigos South Campus TOD Specific Plan, Downey, CA
Kimley-Horn was selected by the City of Downey to develop a comprehensive TOD Specific Plan that will address revitalization and reuse of the existing 171-acre Rancho Los Amigos South Campus.
The Specific Plan will establish a high-intensity regional employment center, including a future Orange Line METRO station, that incorporates residential, commercial, retail and recreational land uses. The Specific Plan will contribute to the creation of a mixed-use, compact and multimodal environment; the promotion of sustainable principles in design and development; enhancement of the pedestrian scale and function of the built environment; the establishment of a complementary mix of cultural uses, public spaces, and outdoor activities; providing stronger connections with local neighborhoods and connectivity with mobility options; the promotion of a family-oriented, culturally-enriched healthy lifestyle; the celebration and reinforcement of Downey and Rancho Los Amigos’ character and history; the enhancement of economic development successes in the area; supporting future regional transportation and transit planning objectives; and positioning the City of Downey to be highly competitive in securing grant funding and alternative funding and financing options.
To date, Kimley-Horn has completed majorly successful outreach activities within the surrounding community, and developed the land use and design strategies through extensive project area analysis. Throughout the development of the Rancho Los Amigos Specific Plan, Kimley-Horn has maintained close communication with the County of Los Angeles, METRO, and the City of Downey to ensure cohesiveness with both the County of Los Angeles’ development plans and Metro’s WSAB corridor extension to the proposed Gardendale Station within the project area. Begun in 2017, Kimley-Horn is on track to complete the project within the proposed schedule per the guidelines of the Metro TOD grant received by the City.

Urban Design Task Lead
Don is recognized nationally as a creative urban designer and planner.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
Staying on schedule and meeting deadlines is a high priority for the Kimley-Horn Team. Critical elements in maintaining schedules include a clear definition of the responsibilities of team members and frequent communication relative to achieve goals in the work effort. Thus, schedule control begins with the preparation of a detailed schedule in Microsoft Project that includes milestone completion dates for specific tasks and the overall project. The schedule identifies task dependencies and relationships, which allows our project managers and clients to understand which tasks must be completed so that other tasks may be accomplished. We will develop for your project, a work plan that allocates commitments by individuals for each task. Twice monthly, our Management Information System generates a Project Effort Report showing effort expended by task. This internal control allows us to make, on a timely basis, any adjustments that may be necessary to maintain schedule and stay within budget.
