c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
Under this approach each insurer contributes
equal amounts until it has paid its applicable
limit of insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this method, each insurers
share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit
of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.
d. Primary And Non -Contributory Insurance If
Required By Written Contract
If you specifically agree in a written contract or
agreement that the insurance afforded to an
insured under this Coverage Part must apply on
a primary basis, or a primary and non-
contributory basis, this insurance is primary to
other insurance that is available to such insured
which covers such insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with that other insurance,
provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal and advertising injury" for
which coverage is sought is caused by an
offense that is committed;
subsequent to the signing of that contract or
agreement by you.
5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage
Partin accordance with our rules and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium only. At
the close of each audit period we will compute
the earned premium for that period and send
notice to the first Named Insured. The due date
for audit and retrospective premiums is the date
shown as the due date on the bill. If the sum of
the advance and audit premiums paid for the
policy period is greater than the earned
premium, we will return the excess to the first
Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of
the information we need for premium
computation, and send us copies at such times
as we may request.

laws of regulations.
7. Separation Of Insureds

is made or "suit" is brought.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others

the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights
to us and help us enforce them.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GEOCON WEST, INC., FOR PROFESSIONAL GEOTECHNICAL INSPECTION
AND TESTING SERVICES FOR THE PLACENTIA PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER
PROJECT
FISCAL
IMPACT: EXPENSE: $ 14,000.00 AMENDMENT AMOUNT
AVAILABLE: $ 5,115,602.00 FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 CIP BUDGET SUMMARY:
The City Council previously awarded a professional services agreement to Geocon West, Inc. (Geocon) to conduct a soils analysis and prepare the geotechnical report and building footing and foundation design for the Placentia Public Safety Center. In addition, Geocon's work scope includes providing independent third -party testing and inspection services for the building's foundation and footings. Geocon provided those services for the engineered Butler building and certified the pad and foundation for that portion of the building. Geocon is now providing those same services for the main building's foundation and footings as well. The project was split into phases to allow the Butler building to proceed first as the City's lease for its existing facility expires in March 2024. During construction of the main building's foundation and footings it was determined that additional inspection hours are required as the Phase 2 contractor has had to alter his method of constructing the footings and foundation so that they do not undermine or damage the Butler building's foundation, resulting in added inspection effort. Once the main building's foundation and footings have been completed and certified that will conclude Gecon's work effort on this project.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Geocon West, Inc., for an additional $14,000, for a cumulative contract not -to -exceed amount of $114,600; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator and/or his designee to execute the necessary documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney.

City Council Agenda
November 7, 2023
STRATEGIC PLAN STATEMENT:
This agenda item conforms to Strategic Planning Goal and Objective 5.4, construct the Placentia Public Safety Center.
DISCUSSION:
The City previously contracted with Geocon West Inc., (Geocon) when it first began this project to conduct a geotechnical survey and report of the project site. The report analyzed soil samples taken from the project site coupled with historical geological information to develop design recommendations for the building's foundation and footings. The data was utilized by the City's design team as the basis for design of the new building. During construction, it is highly recommended that the project geotechnical engineer conduct site visits and provide independent third -party inspections of the building grading operations and take soil samples for testing to ensure that the grading and earthwork is completed pursuant to the design specifications.
Additional testing and inspection of the building's foundation and footings during construction is also highly recommended. To that end, the City Council approved an amendment to the Geocon agreement to provide additional hours and compensation to provide those services. Geocon provided third -party special inspection and testing services for the building pad, foundation and footings for the engineered steel Butler Building which was completed as Phase 1 of this project.
Amendment No. 2 to this agreement is presented to the City Council for its consideration as there is a need for added inspection and testing hours to complete the main building's (Phase 2) foundation and footings. During the construction of the main building's footings the contractor had difficulty positioning its equipment to complete the excavation work around the Butler Building without damaging or undermining the building's foundation. As such, altered means and methods of excavation using multiple slots have been implemented which requires added inspection hours.
The added work also impacts the main building's pad and foundation which will require added inspection and testing. Given the complexity of this project, its cost and status as a critical facility and the need to ensure the building's foundation and footings are built to the designed specifications, it is prudent to invest in the added third -party independent inspection and testing effort to guarantee a finished product that completely conforms to the engineered standards outlined in the geotechnical report and structural plans. Once this work has been completed it will conclude Geocon's work effort on this project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended action will approve an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Geocon West, Inc., for an additional $14,000 for a cumulative not -to -exceed amount of $114,600. Sufficient funds are budgeted and available in the amended Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program Budget to cover this expense. As such, sufficient funds exist for the recommended actions.

STRATEGIC PLAN STATEMENT:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved 5 -Year Strategic Goal to:
Promote Community and Economic Development, as Objective Number 3.3 to continue to recruit and attract retail, hotel and other commercial business that complement adjacent City assets and attractions. This agenda item will specifically result in the enhancement of the Placentia Chamber of Commerce's professional presence in the business community with the use of a City -owned facility in Old Town Placentia.
DISCUSSION:
The City maintains a positive working relationship with the Placentia Chamber of Commerce (the "Chamber") and has held several joint special events that promote economic development and business relations within the community. The Chamber has been steadfast in creating an environment that is dedicated to serving the City's businesses and their prosperity through advocacy, business education, and connectivity. This is particularly true during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Chamber has assisted the City with public dissemination of critical resources such as financial assistance and available funding by the City, State, and Federal agencies to ensure our business community could remain functional and prosperous during the pandemic. They have hosted free virtual workshops to share this information to our business community and have provided application assistance to those that have requested it.
Moving the Chamber to Old City Hall will further expand these efforts to create a stronger Chamber and will provide an amplified environment to accommodate professional business gatherings at Old City Hall. Over the past couple of years, the Property has undergone major renovations, including the installation of a new roof and HVAC system as well as handicap accessible restrooms and doors, flooring replacement, and interior paint. It is the City's and the Chamber's desire to relocate the Chamber to Old City Hall to create a more professional presence within the business community.
As part of the Lease Agreement, the Chamber has agreed to provide monthly lease payments to the City, which begin at $271.00 per month for the first year for leasing a total of 542 square feet of office space at Old City Hall. The lease payments will increase three percent (3%) each subsequent year for a total of five (5) years of the Lease Agreement. Both parties can agree to extend the term of the agreement for an additional five (5) years. Conversely, the Lease Agreement can terminate within sixty (60) days written notice by either party.
It is the desire of the City and the Chamber to have established office hours at Old City Hall for walk-ins, appointments, assisting visitors and day-to-day operations of the Chamber. As a result, a Cooperation Agreement has been prepared that will provide annual funding in the amount of $25,000 from the City to the Chamber. This funding will assist with the operations of the Chamber and the Chamber would provide annual reports to the City Council on the Chamber's membership, events, programs and services to the business community. A detailed scope of services to be provided by the Chamber is attached to the Cooperation Agreement.

Premo Construction Inc
NON -RESPONSIVE
After reviewing the bid proposals, it was determined that Premo Construction Inc. did not meet the bid solicitation requirements and submitted a non -responsive bid by not submitting the required Addenda Acknowledgement Forms (Acknowledgement of Receipt of Addendum #1 and Acknowledgement of Receipt of Addendum #2). The Bidders Information Sheet was also incomplete with no signature or notary. The lack of acknowledgement of the bid addendums and missing required information is considered a significant default in the low -bidder's bid documents.
The City Council has the right to waive any bid irregularities and to reject all bids submitted pursuant to the California Public Contract Code. Staff recommends rejecting the low bid submitted by Premo Construction Inc. as a non -responsive bid.
Once it was determined that the apparent low bidder submitted a non -responsive bid, Staff reviewed the next lowest bid submitted by SDC Engineering Inc. Staff reviewed and analyzed their bid proposal and it was found to be responsive and valid. Based upon SDC Engineering Inc.'s reference check and submitted bid, Staff recommends awarding a construction contract to SDC Engineering Inc. for the La Placita Parkette Improvement Project. Additional park amenities will also be ordered and installed by staff upon completion per the concept design utilizing CIP project funds earmarked for the replacement of various amenities, consistent with the Initiative.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project cost for the La Placita Parkette Improvement Project amounts to $726,040.89.
This cost consists of the bid amount submitted by SDC Engineering Inc. in the amount of $292,617.30, a construction contingency in the amount of $29,261.73, the design services provided by RHA in the amount of $99,790.00, and the purchase and installation of the playground equipment by Great Western Installations, Inc in the amount of $304,371.86. To provide sufficient funding for the construction phase of the project, Staff is also recommending Resolution R-2023- 85 (Attachment 2) to appropriate $86,050 from the utilizing available CIP project funds to support

Any costs for failure to meet the foregoing standard or to correct otherwise defective work that requires re -performance of the work, shall be borne in total by the Contractor and not by the City.

A copy of the general prevailing wage rate determination is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

In the event the Senior Management Analyst of City ("Senior Management Analyst") determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies required by this Section 6 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Senior Management Analyst; provided that the Contractor shall have the right to appeal a determination of increased coverage by the Senior Management Analyst to the City Council of City within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Senior Management Analyst.

The City Administrator or his or her designee shall be the representative of City for purposes of this Agreement and may issue all consents, approvals, directives and agreements on behalf of the City, called for by this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
The Principal set forth in Section 5.1 above shall be the representative for Contractor for purposes of this Agreement, and shall be authorized to issue all consents, approvals, directives and agreements on behalf of Contractor called for by this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
8.3 Disputes. In the event either party fails to perform its obligations hereunder, the nondefaulting party shall provide the defaulting party written notice of such default. The defaulting party shall have ten (10) days to cure the default; provided that, if the default is not reasonably susceptible to being cured within said ten (10) day period, the defaulting party shall have a reasonable time to cure the default, not to exceed a maximum of thirty (30) days, so long as the defaulting party commences to cure such default within ten (10) days of service of such notice and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion; provided further that if the default is an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, the defaulting party shall take such immediate action as may be necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nondefaulting party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, grant a longer cure period. Should the defaulting party fail to cure the default 11 Project No. 7911
within the time period provided in this Section, the nondefaulting party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights the nondefaulting party may have at law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement.
Compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be a condition precedent to bringing any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured.
8.4 Retention of Funds. Progress payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 of this Agreement. In accordance with said section, City shall pay Contractor a sum based upon ninety-five percent (95°/0) of the contract price apportionment of the labor and materials incorporated into the work under the contract during the month covered by said statement. The remaining five percent (5%) thereof shall be retained as performance security to be paid to the Contractor within sixty (60) days after final acceptance of the work by the City Council, after Contractor shall have furnished City with a release of all undisputed contract amounts if required by City. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contractor from the operation of the release, the City may retain proceeds (per Public Contract Code 7107) of up to 150% of the amount in dispute. City's failure to deduct or withhold shall not affect Contractor's obligations hereunder.
8.5 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a nondefaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
8.6 Rights and Remedies. Rights and Remedies are cumulative except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
8.7 Lecal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.
8.8 Licuidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City Five Hundred Dollars ($500) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Scope of Services (Exhibit A) or Schedule of Performance (Exhibit B). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.
8.9 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, Contractor shall vacate any City owned property which Contractor is permitted to occupy hereunder and City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.3, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the 12 Project No. 7911
Contractor for the purpose of setoff or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

EXHIBIT E
CLAIMS PROCEDURE
SUMMARY OF PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE § 9204
The following procedure will apply to any claims by the Contractor on the City:
A "claim" is a separate demand on the City by a contractor on a public works project and sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following:
• A time extension, including relief from penalties for delay • Payment by the City of money damages under the terms of the contract • Payment of an amount that is disputed by the City
Initial Review
The claim must be supported by appropriate documentation. The City has 45 days within which to review the claim and provide the contractor with a written statement identifying the disputed and undisputed portions of the claim. If the City does not issue a written statement, the claim is deemed rejected in its entirety. The City will pay any undisputed portion of the claim within 60 days of issuing the statement.
Meet & Confer
If the contractor disputes the City's written response, or if the City does not issue one, the contractor may request in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for possible settlement of the claim. The City will schedule the meet and confer conference within 30 days of this request and provide a written statement identifying the remaining disputed and undisputed portions of the claim within 10 business days of the meet and confer. The City will pay the undisputed portion within 60 days of issuing this statement.
Mediation
With respect to any disputed portion remaining after the meet and confer, the City and contractor will submit the matter to nonbinding mediation, agree to a mediator within 10 business days after issuing the written statement, and share mediation costs equally. If mediation is unsuccessful, then the terms of the public works agreement and applicable law will govern resolution of the dispute.
Miscellaneous Provisions
Amounts not paid by the City in a timely manner bear interest at 7% per annum.
Subcontractors may submit claims via this procedure through the general contractor. The City and contractor may waive the requirement to mediate but cannot otherwise waive these claim procedures.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
VIA: CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
DATE: NOVEMBER 7, 2023
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING SECTION 13.48.160 (TITLE 13 - VEHICLES & TRAFFIC) AND ADDING CHAPTERS 8.10 - SIDEWALK VENDING (HEALTH & SANITATION) AND 13.50 - SALES OF GOODS FROM VEHICLES (VEHICLES &
TRAFFIC), TO ESTABLISH A REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR THE SALES
OF FOOD AND MERCHANDISE FROM SIDEWALK VENDORS AND FOOD
TRUCKS.
FISCAL
IMPACT: NONE
SUMMARY:
Due to the enactment of Senate Bill ("SB") 946 and 972 a few years ago concerning sidewalk vendors, the City is compelled to enact an ordinance which updates the Placentia Municipal Code ("PMC") so that it is consistent with state law. It should be noted that state law has greatly restricted what cities can regulate with regard to sidewalk vendors. This ordinance also updates the PMC with regard to food trucks since there are presently no comprehensive regulations for vendors who sell food from vehicles, other than obtaining a business license. Unlike sidewalk vendor regulations, there are no state laws which similarly restrict the cities' ability to regulate food trucks, which have become extremely popular and widespread throughout the County and State in recent years. PMC Section 13.48.160 (Vendors' wagons and pushcarts) is being amended since it will be replaced by the more comprehensive regulations contained in newly enacted Chapters 8.10 and 13.50.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Open the public hearing concerning Ordinance No. O-2023-04; and
2. Receive the Staff report, consider all Public Testimony, ask any questions of Staff, and
3. Close the public hearing; and
4. Find that adoption of Ordinance No. O-2023-04 is exempt from environmental review and direct Staff to file a Notice of Exemption once the Ordinance is adopted, pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3); and

City Council Agenda
November 7, 2023
5. Waive full reading, by title only, and introduce for first reading, Ordinance No. O-2023-04, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, finding that approval of the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) and amending the Placentia Municipal Code, Section
13.48.160 (Title 13 — Vehicles & Traffic) and adding Chapters 8.10 - Sidewalk Vending (Health & Sanitation) and 13.50 - Sales of Goods from Vehicles (Vehicles & Traffic), to establish a regulatory framework for the sales of food and merchandise from sidewalk vendors and food trucks.
STRATEGIC PLAN STATEMENT:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved 5 -Year Strategic Goal to:
Promote Community and Economic Development, Goal 3, as this item will serve to enhance Community Development and Economic Development efforts in general as it will provide options for outdoor vending operations. It will also result in the regulation of outdoor vending and food truck operations, which will promote said operations in an orderly and safe manner that benefits the entire community.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND:
This ordinance adds two new chapters to the Placentia Municipal Code. Chapter 8.10 adds a regulatory framework for sidewalk vendors and Chapter 13.50 adds a parallel regulatory scheme for mobile food vendors (food trucks). Both new chapters are aligned with one another, to some extent, but the state has imposed many more limitations on what cities can regulate with regard to sidewalk vendors, which explains why the regulations pertaining to food trucks are much stricter and more broad (e.g. food trucks are prohibited in the residential neighborhoods and parks and are limited to selling food only between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., while sidewalk vendors are restricted from selling in commercial areas from midnight to 7 a.m. and from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. in residential neighborhoods). In addition, while sidewalk vendors can only be issued administrative citations, food truck vendors can be cited, fined, or prosecuted.
The City's proposed regulations are comparable to neighboring cities. Staff reviewed ordinances of a number of cities, including: Dana Point, Fullerton, Brea, Pasadena, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Costa Mesa, Buena Park, Laguna Beach, Fountain Valley, Seal Beach, Los Alamitos, Stanton, Irvine, Westminster and Santa Ana.
Sidewalk Vendor Regulations — Chapter 8.10
Senate Bill ("SB") 946 and SB 972 were both signed into law and became effective January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2023, respectively. Both SB 946 and 972 (codified as California Government Code Section 51038 and 51039) have severely limited the authority of cities and counties to regulate sidewalk vendors.
This ordinance will update the City of Placentia Municipal Code to allow sidewalk vending, consistent with SB 946 and SB 972. The new law defines "sidewalk vendors" to include any person
City Council Agenda
November 7, 2023
who sells food or merchandise from a pushcart, wagon, or other non -motorized conveyance, or from his or her person, while on a public sidewalk or other pedestrian path. A sidewalk vendor may be "stationary" or "roaming." Stationary sidewalk vendors are those who operate from a fixed location, while roaming sidewalk vendors move from place to place and stop only to complete a transaction. The statutory requirements apply to both stationary and roaming sidewalk vendors unless otherwise indicated.
California Government Code §§ 51038 and 51039 now prohibit cities from adopting regulations that do any of the following:
• Restrict the overall number of sidewalk vendors allowed to operate within the jurisdiction, except if directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns. • Require sidewalk vendors to obtain the consent or approval of any nongovernmental entity or individual before selling goods or merchandise.
• Require sidewalk vendors to operate within specific parts of the public right-of-way, except if directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns. • Require sidewalk vendors to operate only in designated neighborhoods or areas, except if directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns.
The City of Placentia may, however, regulate the time, place, and manner in which sidewalk vending is conducted, provided that such regulations are directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns. Permissible regulations include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Limits on hours of operation, provided they are not unduly restrictive. In nonresidential areas, limitations cannot be more restrictive than the hours of operation imposed on other businesses on the same street.
• Requirements to maintain sanitary conditions.
• Requirements to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability access standards.
• Requiring a sidewalk vending permit, business license, California Department of Tax and Fee Administration seller's permit, and/other licenses from other state or local agencies. • Requiring a sidewalk vendor to submit certain information on his or her application concerning operations.
• Prohibiting sidewalk vendors on private property.
• Requiring compliance with other generally applicable laws.
The newly enacted laws declare that perceived community animus or economic competition are not valid "objective health, safety, or welfare concerns" to justify the imposition of time, place, or manner restrictions. In addition, local authorities are precluded from prohibiting sidewalk vendors in public parks. A limited exception is allowed where a concessionaire has been granted an exclusive concession for the sale of food or merchandise. In such case, the city can only prohibit stationary sidewalk vendors but must still allow roaming sidewalk vendors. The city may impose additional time, place, and manner restrictions to sidewalk vending in public parks, so long as the restrictions meet at least one of the following criteria:
• They are directly related to health, safety, or welfare concerns.
City Council Agenda
November 7, 2023
• They are necessary to ensure the public's use and enjoyment of the park's natural resources and recreational opportunities.
• They are necessary to prevent an undue concentration of commercial activity that would unreasonably interfere with the park's scenic and natural character.
Cities may prohibit sidewalk vendors within the immediate vicinity of permitted special events, including, but not limited to, certified farmers' markets, filming permit, a parade, or an outdoor concert, during those events' operating hours. Sidewalk vendors cannot be cited, fined, or prosecuted for a violation of any rule or regulation that is inconsistent with the Government Code.
Even where a compliant sidewalk vending program is in place, cities are precluded from imposing criminal penalties. Instead, violations may be punished with administrative citations in the amounts set forth in the new Government Code Section 51039. No additional fines, penalties, or other financial conditions may be assessed, including for a failure to pay an administrative fine.
However, following a fourth violation of a local sidewalk vending regulation, a vendor's permit can be rescinded for the remainder of the term.
Once a citation is issued, the City is required to consider the person's ability to pay the fine and must notify the person of his or her right to request an ability -to -pay determination. Such a request may be made even after he or she has become delinquent or if his/her income is 125% or less of the current federal poverty guidelines, the City must accept payment of 20% as full satisfaction of the fine. For any citation, the local authority may accept community service in lieu of payment, waive the administrative fine, or offer an alternative disposition.
After SB 946 was enacted and local jurisdictions began revising their ordinances, it became clear that sidewalk vendors were still unable to get their businesses off the ground because of county health permit requirements, which were viewed as an impediment to the sidewalk vendor law. In addition, because the health permit from the county was a prerequisite to obtaining a city business license, many, if not all, sidewalk vendors were still not permitted to operate in cities. As a result, SB 972 was enacted to significantly alter the California Retail Food Code ("CalCode") relevant to the preparation and sale of food by sidewalk vendors and other compact mobile food operations ("CMFOs).
Chapter 8.10 reflects the new equipment, operational, and permitting requirements found in SB 972 to accommodate microbusinesses more realistically like sidewalk food vendors and bring entrepreneurs like sidewalk vendors into the formal economy. Some view these changes as "reduced" or "relaxed" health and sanitary requirements for sidewalk vendors. The law revises certain equipment requirements for CMFOs, streamlines permitting processes for CMFOs and the facilities that support them. Therefore, not only are cities impacted by the new sidewalk vendor laws, but also Health enforcement agencies (i.e., the Orange County Health Department) must similarly adopt/revise certain regulations that are consistent with the new state rules related to food facilities operating within their jurisdiction.
City Council Agenda
November 7, 2023
Consistent with SB 972, PMC Chapter 8.10 does not require a health permit from the County Health Department to allow sidewalk vendors and other compact mobile food operations with 25 square feet or less of display area that sell only the following:
• Bagged snacks.
• Cans of soda.
• Bottled water.
• Whole fruits.
• Whole vegetables.
• Canned goods that do not need refrigeration.
Many cities and counties currently require any business that sells food — including sidewalk vendors — to first obtain a health permit prior to applying for a local business license or vending permit that would allow them to conduct business in the jurisdiction. PMC Chapter 8.10 contains an exemption from health department permitting requirements for compact mobile food operations that sell only (i) prepackaged food that is not potentially hazardous; and (ii) whole produce.
Also consistent with the new state law, a sidewalk vendor's cart is defined as a "compact mobile food operation" or a mobile food facility that operates from an individual or from a pushcart, stand, display, pedal -driven cart, wagon, showcase, rack, or other non -motorized conveyance. The new law has relaxed equipment requirements for these pushcarts.
In addition, an unenclosed mobile food operation facility, a category that includes most sidewalk vendors and other compact mobile food operations, are permitted to conduct what is called, "limited food preparation" under CalCode. SB 972 expands the definition of limited food preparation to include several common and safe food preparation activities, thereby allowing a sidewalk vendor or other compact mobile food operation to conduct those food preparation activities "in the field" rather than at a commissary. "Limited food preparation," is defined as:
1. Slicing and chopping of non -potentially hazardous fruits and vegetables,
2. Pre-cooking food in an approved kitchen and "hot -holding" or "cold -holding" that food prior to service from a vending cart.
3. Reheating food that was previously prepared in an approved kitchen.
Section 8.10.120 (G), "Seizure of Goods" was included in Chapter 8.10 to address "objective health, safety, and welfare concerns" to prevent the situation which occurred in the City of Santa Ana last year. Many people who purchased food from unlicensed sidewalk vendors in Santa Ana, were the unsuspecting victims of food borne illness. By including a section on impounding perishable food which has sickened customers, the necessary tools will be provided to Placentia code enforcement officers along with County Health Department officials to seize the food before others become sick.
City Council Agenda
November 7, 2023
Sales of Goods from Vehicles (Regulations) — Chapter 13.50 The purpose of adding Chapter 13.50 is to align the sidewalk vending regulations with mobile food truck regulations, although state law has not limited cities' ability to enact stricter health, safety and welfare regulations pertaining to food trucks. Section 22455 of the California Vehicle Code authorizes municipalities to regulate the type of vending from motor vehicles and the time, place, and manner of vending from vehicles upon any street in order to promote public safety. Vending from mobile vending facilities on public streets creates the potential for safety hazards, such as, but not limited to, encouraging pedestrians to cross mid -block to purchase food. The actions of mobile food vendors can create safety risks to the public, especially pedestrians who become inattentive to vehicular traffic. Vendors who fail to park their mobile vending facilities on public streets in a safe manner during a transaction attract customers onto public roadways, creating further traffic and public safety hazards.
Chapter 13.50 applies to individual food trucks, which are usually found on public rights -of -way, often near construction sites or on private property, such as office buildings, commercial businesses (e.g., parking lots of Best Buy, Lowe's, or Home Depot), and industrial areas and involve situations where the food truck generally stay in one place for less than 30 minutes. Food trucks participating in a Special Event (pursuant to PMC 23.81.015) must adhere to the requirements of Chapter 13.50 but must also abide by additional regulations when they participate under the umbrella of a special permit event.
Unlike the regulation contained in Chapter 8.10 (Sidewalk Vendors), Chapter 13.50 contains stricter regulations for food trucks. The City of Placentia is permitted to enact and enforce the following regulations concerning food trucks:
• Require mobile food trucks (in some instances) to obtain the consent or approval of any nongovernmental entity or individual before selling goods or merchandise on private property.
• Require mobile food trucks to operate within specific parts of the public right-of-way, to protect the public health, safety, or welfare concerns. • Require mobile food trucks to operate only in designated areas of the city and prohibit them from operating in residential neighborhoods or public parks. • Limits hours of operation of mobile food trucks, e.g. 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. • Enforce requirements to maintain sanitary conditions. • Requiring a mobile vending permit, business license, California Department of Tax and Fee Administration seller's permit, commercial general liability insurance and County Health Department permit.
• Require a mobile food vendor to submit certain information on his or her operations. • Require compliance with other generally applicable laws and are subject to being cited, fined, and prosecuted.
The regulations enacted by this ordinance will provide Code Enforcement officers the ability to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of its residents.

Fees
Currently, there are City fees that apply to certain outdoor vendors and food trucks. However, Staff recommends updating and modernizing those fees based on City Council action regarding the proposed Ordinance. Any changes to the fee schedule could be part of the annual Fiscal Year fee schedule adjustment or could be adopted by City Council at an earlier date.
CEQA:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State and local Environmental Guidelines, Staff and the City of Placentia Planning Commission recommend that City Council adopt a Commonsense Exemption pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines in that the proposed project (Municipal Code Amendment) will not result in changes to the existing physical environment, and the physical environment will not be modified as a result of its adoption. Upon City Council adoption of a finding of a Commonsense exemption, a Notice of Exemption will be filed.

City Attorney Summary
This Ordinance would repeal Section 13.48.160 and add Chapters 8.10 ("Sidewalk Vending"), and Chapter 13.50 (Sales of Goods from Vehicles) which establishes a regulatory framework for sidewalk vendors and food trucks. Senate Bill ("SB") 946 and 972 were both signed into law and became effective January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2023, respectively. Both SB 946 and 972 (codified as California Government Code Sections 51038 and 51039) have severely limited the authority of cities and counties to regulate sidewalk vendors. Notwithstanding the state limitations imposed on cities regulating sidewalk vendors, the City of Placentia desires to add a regulatory framework for both sidewalk vendors and a parallel scheme for mobile food vendors (food trucks).
A. Recitals
(i) Senate Bill (SB) 946 was signed into law on September 17, 2018, and became effective January 1, 2019.
(ii) SB 946 limits the authority of cities and counties to regulate sidewalk vendors, except in accordance with Government Code Sections 51038 and 51039. (iii) The city desires to regulate and provide for the safe and lawful operations of sidewalk vendors, consistent with SB 946.
(iv) The Sidewalk Vending Ordinance requires all persons engaged in sidewalk vending to possess a sidewalk vending permit and comply with the regulations contained therein.
(v) This Ordinance will update the City of Placentia Municipal Code by adding Chapter 8.10 (Sidewalk Vending) to allow sidewalk vending, consistent with state law, which now prohibits cities from adopting regulations that restrict sidewalk vendors from operating.
Ordinance O-2023-04
(vi) Chapter 8.10 will regulate the time, place, and manner in which sidewalk vending is conducted in the city.
(vii) Chapter 8.10 provides that sidewalk vendors cannot be cited, fined, or prosecuted for a violation of any rule or regulation that is inconsistent with the Government Code. Chapter 8.10 does not set forth criminal penalties for violations of the sidewalk vending ordinance because violations may only now be punished with administrative citations.
(viii) SB 972 significantly altered the California Retail Food Code ("CalCode") relevant to the preparation and sale of food by sidewalk vendors and other compact mobile food operations ("CMFOs").
(ix) Chapter 8.10 reflects the new equipment, operational, and permitting requirements found in SB 972. Some view these changes as "reduced" or "relaxed" health and sanitary requirements for sidewalk vendors. This ordinance is aligned with the new state law equipment requirements for sidewalk carts, now designated by the State as Compact Mobile Food Operations ("CMFO's"), which streamlines the permitting processes for CMFO's and the facilities that support them. (x) Consistent with SB 972, Placentia Municipal Code Chapter 8.10, will not always require a county health permit to allow sidewalk vendors and other compact mobile food operations with 25 square feet or less of display that sell only bagged snacks, cans of soda, bottled water, whole fruits and vegetables, canned goods that do not require refrigeration, and other similar foods.
(xi) In addition, pursuant to SB 972, an unenclosed mobile food operation facility, a category that includes most sidewalk vendors and other compact mobile food operations, are permitted to conduct what is called, "limited food preparation" in the field under CalCode.
(xii) The Placentia City Council desires to impose reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on sidewalk vendors, consistent with state law to ensure the safety of sidewalk vendors, the patrons, and the public and to prevent unreasonable interference with residents' enjoyment of peace and quiet in their community. (xiii) Concurrent with enacting the sidewalk vendor ordinance, the City Council desires to establish parallel regulations pertaining to food trucks by enacting Chapter
13.50. Section 22455 of the California Vehicle Code authorizes municipalities to regulate the type of vending from motor vehicles and the time, place, and manner of vending from vehicles upon any street to promote public safety.
(xiv) Vending from mobile vending facilities, also known as food trucks on public streets creates the potential for safety hazards, such as, but not limited to, encouraging pedestrians to cross mid -block to purchase food. In addition, mobile food truck vendors who fail to park their mobile vending facilities on public streets in a safe manner during a Ordinance O-2023-04
transaction attract customers onto public roadways, creating further traffic and public safety hazards.
(xv) Unlike the regulations contained in Chapter 8.10 (Sidewalk Vendors), Chapter 13.50 contain more comprehensive regulations for food trucks. Since the City of Placentia is permitted to enact and enforce the following regulations concerning food trucks, Chapter 13.50 will regulate food trucks as follows:
• Require mobile food trucks to obtain the consent or approval of any nongovernmental entity or individual before selling goods or merchandise on private property.
• Require mobile food trucks to operate within specific parts of the public right-of-way, to protect public health, safety, or welfare concerns. • Require mobile food trucks to operate only in designated areas of the city. • Limit hours of operation of mobile food trucks.
• Enforce requirements to maintain sanitary conditions. • Require a mobile vending permit, business license, California Department of Tax and Fee Administration seller's permit, and a County Health Department permit.
• Require a mobile food vendor to submit certain information on his or her operations.
• Cities are not restricted in the types of penalties for violations of mobile food truck regulations as they are with respect to sidewalk vendors.
