For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks & Recreation Subject: Authorize the City Manager to Enter into a Professional Service Agreement with Keith Batcheller for four Gold Line Bridge Murals in the Amount of $74,000 and a Professional Service Agreement with the Los Angeles Metro Gold Line Foothill Transit Authority to Install the Mural Tiles on the Bridge. ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Authorization to award a contract to artist Keith Batcheller to produce Mural Art for the Metro Bridge at Bonita and Cataract in the amount of $74,000 and authorization to enter into an agreement with the Los Angeles Metro Goldline Foothill Extension Construction Authority to install the Mural Art on the bridge.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council:
• Authorize the City Manager or designee to enter into a Professional Service Agreement with artist Keith Batcheller to create mural art for the Gold Line Bridge at Bonita Avenue and Cataract Avenue, which includes four (4) 10’ wide x 15’ high murals of tile art that depict different eras of San Dimas history. The cost to design, render and complete the four murals is $74,000.
• Authorize the City Manager or designee to enter into an agreement with Los Angeles Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority to install the Mural Art tiles on the Gold Line Bridge.
FISCAL IMPACT
Proposition A funds have been appropriated in the 2023-24 budget for this project and will be utilized to support the following costs.
Gold Line Bridge Artwork Services Agreement Page 2
For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
The total anticipated project cost is as follows:
Mural Artwork $74,000
Tile Fabrication + Freight $42,000
Subtotal $116,000
Contingency (10%) $11,600
TOTAL COST $127,600
The anticipated total project budget expenditure for the Bridge Mural project is $127,600.
BACKGROUND
On August 8, 2023, the City Council directed staff to proceed with the Bridge Art project for the Metro Bridge on Bonita and Cataract. At this meeting, the City Council:
• Allocated an additional $96,000 to fund the Mural Tile Art project, for a total project budget of $176,000, which includes $74,000 for the artist’s services to design the artwork and $42,000 for the tile fabrication. The additional budget of $48,400 will not be expensed and will be rolled over into the Proposition A available fund balance. • The City Council directed staff to display the four proposed mural designs to solicit public comments.
At the City Council meeting of August 8, 2023, staff indicated that it would return to the City Council at a future date to:
• Award a contract to artist Keith Batcheller to produce the artwork for the murals • Approve a letter agreement between the City of San Dimas, Los Angeles Gold Line Metro Extension Construction Authority, and the artist.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
I. Art Design and Artist Agreement
Keith Batcheller, a San Dimas renowned artist, submitted four sketches that depict distinct periods of San Dimas history, including native Americans, the citrus trade, the railroad and prominent San Dimas landmarks that include the Walker House and historical architecture on Bonita Avenue (Attachment 1 ). The proposed Mural design was displayed in City Hall for public viewing and comments in the period of September 6 to November 21, 2023 and seven comments were received. The public is in support of the proposed artwork.
The professional agreement with Mr. Batcheller for the Mural artwork in the amount of $74,000 is shown in Attachment 2. The total project costs include the fabrication of digital art into porcelain tiles (approximately $42,000) which brings the total project cost to $116,000 to complete four (4) wall murals that will be furnished to the Construction Authority for installation.
Staff has programmed a 10% project contingency of $11,600 which brings the total projected cost to $127,600.
II. Metro Gold Line Letter Agreement
Gold Line Bridge Artwork Services Agreement Page 3
For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
Per Council direction on the meeting of August 8, 2023, a letter agreement with the LA Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority was created to outline the terms of the agreement as it pertains to the installation and maintenance of the artwork, the use of tiles, a project timeline, insurance coverage, and the artist contract.
The letter agreement shown in Attachment 3 is a result of discussion and negotiation between the Construction Authority and the City. The Construction Authority has reviewed the agreement and will execute once Council approves.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City Council could decide not to approve the recommended contracts with the Los Angeles Metropolitan Construction Authority and the artist, and direct staff not to proceed with the bridge art project. Under this scenario, artwork would not be displayed on the four recessed spaces on the bridge that were designed to accommodate artwork and the City would save approximately $127,600 of Proposition A funding.
2. The City Council could direct staff to revise the proposed agreements with the artist and/or the Los Angeles Metro Gold Line Construction Authority to address specific concerns as desired.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott Wasserman

Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided ARTIST gives CITY notice of such court order or subpoena.
B. ARTIST shall promptly notify CITY should ARTIST, its officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions, or other discovery request (“Discovery”), court order, or subpoena from any person or party regarding this AGREEMENT and the work performed there under or with respect to any project or property located within the CITY, unless the CITY is a party to any lawsuit, arbitration, or administrative proceeding connected to such Discovery, or unless ARTIST is prohibited by law from informing the CITY of such Discovery.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. ARTIST shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation.

CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage.

01171.0001/846200.12 Page 17 of 21
Gold Line Bridge Mural Contract
contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY's own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by ARTIST or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from ARTIST payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this AGREEMENT.
Acceptable insurers.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). ARTIST acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform ARTIST of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the ARTIST maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the ARTIST. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.
01171.0001/846200.12 Page 18 of 21
Gold Line Bridge Mural Contract
Notice of cancellation. ARTIST agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that ARTIST’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. ARTIST agrees to ensure that its subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by ARTIST, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of ARTIST.
ARTIST agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. ARTIST agrees that upon request, all agreements with ARTISTs, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to CITY for review.
CITY’s right to revise specifications. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the ARTIST ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the ARTIST, the CITY and ARTIST may renegotiate ARTIST’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by CITY.
Timely notice of claims. ARTIST shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from ARTIST’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY ART GUIDELINES FOR MATERIALS AND FINISHES
Metro Art Guidelines for Materials and Finishes
January 2017
Background
These guidelines are intended to assist artists in identifying appropriate approaches to artwork materials, finishes and locations prior to the development of artwork proposals. The guidelines are a detailed component of Metro's Rail and Bus Rapid Transit Design Criteria and reflect lessons learned over many years of maintaining public art in the Metro system.
Commissioning artists and installing artworks at stations and facilities are the end results of selection processes that include the participation of community representatives and arts professionals. Great efforts are taken to ensure the artwork’s longevity for the enjoyment of Metro passengers and for generations to come.
Permanency, for these guidelines, shall be defined as works of art intended to be in public display, and serving their intended purposes, for a period of no less than 25 years.
Materials and Finishes
In order to protect the agency’s assets, and to ensure the safety and longevity of the art collection throughout the transit system, the Metro Art program coordinates with multiple agency departments to review art proposals for safety, constructability, maintainability, durability, ADA accessibility, security and operational impacts. Artwork fabrication and installation details are scrutinized, with a special attention to materials and finishes.
Locations
Location, fabrication and material considerations are key factors that impact artwork longevity.
Metro Art program staff coordinates with artists, project design professionals, agency departments and others to identify and optimize artwork locations for aesthetic impact, while meeting durability, maintenance and budget requirements. Metro Art provides final approval of all artwork locations.
Artists are required to discuss their art concept proposals with Metro Art representatives at the initial stages of concept development and prior to concept proposal presentation. Artists shall design artworks that allow ease of access for regular maintenance and repairs and future removal and re-installation without significant damage to the artwork or existing station materials and finishes.
Collectively, these measures assist to alleviate Metro’s operational and maintenance costs and increase the longevity of artworks in the transit system. Metro Art will periodically update these guidelines based on innovations in product development, fabrication processes, lessons learned as well as input from the transit field.
EXHIBIT D
Metro Art Guidelines for Materials and Finishes 2
List of Materials
The following list includes general observations based on Metro experiences within the transit system. Artwork feasibility reviews and in-depth conversations between Metro Art program representatives and artists contributes to successful art projects. Artworks shall not be created, located or function in a way that requires them to meet or substitute for life/safety criteria such as minimum foot-candle levels, exit gating, handrails, etc.
Audio/Acoustic/Sound
• Artworks depending wholly or partially on sound (wind, water driven, mechanical, chimes, cables and other devices) are not recommended and may require extensive acoustical analysis and community input.
▪ Permanent artworks depending wholly or partially on electronic based audio/sound and its associated equipment and technology are not acceptable.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks & Recreation Subject: Approve the First Amendment to the Joint Use Agreement between the City of San Dimas (City) and the Bonita Unified School District (District) for joint use, operation and maintenance of recreation facilities at the Sports Plex Revising Cost Reimbursement Related to the Varsity Baseball Field and Revising Agreement Renewal Provisions
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City of San Dimas and Bonita Unified School District signed a Joint Use Agreement in 1987 to jointly operate and maintain the Sports Plex recreation facilities. Since 1987, the City has paid a contractor to maintain the entire Sports Plex. The District reimburses the City for 50% of the cost of maintenance. The proposed contract amendment transfers 100% of the responsibility for the cost of maintenance of the varsity baseball field to the District. The Agreement will automatically renew annually unless notice is given by April 1st.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve the First Contract Amendment between the City of San Dimas and the Bonita Unified School District to transfer responsibility for the cost of maintenance of the varsity baseball field to the District and revising agreement renewal provisions.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget. Beginning in 2024, the District will begin reimbursing the City for 100% of annual expenses related to the maintenance of the varsity baseball field (approximately $18,000). Currently, the District reimburses the City for half the cost of maintaining the varsity baseball field ($9,000).
BACKGROUND
Joint Use Agreement between City of San Dimas and Bonita Unified School District Page 2 For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
The City of San Dimas and the Bonita Unified School District signed a Joint Use Agreement in 1987 for joint use, maintenance and operation of the City’s Sports Plex, which is located on District property. Per the Agreement, the District reimburses the City for 50% of the cost of maintenance of the facility, which includes tennis courts, basketball courts, and several baseball and soccer fields. The First Amendment to the Agreement shifts 100% of the cost to maintain the varsity baseball field to the District, as the field is not available for City use.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The City of San Dimas and Bonita Unified School District have maintained a productive working relationship since 1987, around the joint use agreement for the Sports Plex and separate agreements pertaining to crossing guards, the use of the Recreation Center and the provision of a School Resource Officer. The two entities meet regularly to discuss facility operations and cost sharing arrangements. As budgetary pressures are predicted in the upcoming years, the two entities have been meeting regularly to ensure that costs borne by each entity are reasonable and equitable. In the past, the City has programmed the use of ball fields for local youth sports organizations. However, the City has never been authorized to use the varsity baseball field for any recreational activities. The purpose of the First Amendment to the Agreement between the City and District is to shift 100% of the cost of maintenance of the varsity ball field (approximately $18,000) to the District. The City will continue to pay its contractor to maintain the Sports Plex and the District will continue to reimburse the City for 50% of this cost, with the exception of the varsity baseball field, for which the District will reimburse 100% of the cost of annual maintenance.
To ensure continuity, the revisions include provision that the agreement will renew automatically unless notice is given by April 1st, approximately 3 months prior to the start of the next year. The City is continuing to look at this agreement and how to best leverage both the City’s and Bonita Unified facilities to maximize service that can be provided to our City residents while ensuring efficient and effective costs to the City for maintaining and utilization.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could decide not to approve the recommended contract amendment with the District. In this scenario, the District would continue to pay 50% of the cost of maintenance for the Sports Plex and the City would continue to subsidize one half of the cost of maintaining the varsity baseball field that is not available for City use.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks & Recreation Subject: Approve a Professional Services Agreement between the City of San Dimas and Griffin Structures to Provide Cost Estimates for Maintenance, Repairs and Rehabilitation of the Recreation Center located at 990 West Covina Boulevard in an Amount not to Exceed $10,650
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City of San Dimas operates the Recreation Center at 990 West Covina Boulevard, which offers programming for teens in addition to aquatic and fitness programs for residents of all ages. Significant maintenance for the facility has been deferred over the years, necessitating a thorough analysis of options to rehabilitate the facility and ensure that the building continues to meet the needs of residents in the future.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures to provide cost estimates and an analysis of needed repairs and improvements for the Recreation Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
Not to exceed amount of $10,650. The funds to support the recommended action have been budgeted in Fund 021 (Open Space District Capital Account).
BACKGROUND
The City of San Dimas operates the Recreation Center at 990 West Covina Boulevard, which offers programming for teens in addition to aquatic programs for residents of all ages. The facility was constructed in the late 1980's and underwent some significant repairs in the mid 1990’s.
However, significant maintenance for the facility has been deferred over the years, necessitating
Professional Services Agreement between the City of San Dimas and Griffin Structures for the Recreation Center located at 990 West Covina Boulevard Page 2 For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
a thorough analysis of options to rehabilitate the facility and ensure that it continues to meet the needs of residents in the future.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Parks and Recreation Department continues to operate the Recreation Center, anticipating the need to complete deferred repairs, maintenance and rehabilitation of the facility. Griffin Structures performed such an analysis of the facility in 2013 and, per the attached Agreement, will revise its cost estimates to reflect the current condition of the facility. As part of its obligations under the proposed agreement, a representative from Griffin Structures will provide a written report and present cost estimates for various scenarios at a future City Council meeting.
Ultimately, any decision to proceed with repairs or improvements to the Recreation Center should include a discussion of community recreation priorities, an analysis of resident usage of the facility and anticipated ongoing operational expenses. The Parks and Recreation Department will present a comprehensive analysis of the facility at the time cost estimates are discussed with the City Council.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose not to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the proposed agreement with Griffin Structures. In this scenario, it would be more challenging for staff to identify needed improvements and accurately project their cost and timelines for completion.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Consultant of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Consultant with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Consultant under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor.
Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to Agency for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change.

Agreement will establish the rental assistance payments to be paid on behalf of the household. The Agreement will establish the participating household’s initial share of the contract rent. ii.

VI. RENT ASSISTANCE CALCULATIONS, PAYMENT STANDARDS, AND TERM A. Rent Assistance Calculations
Rent assistance calculation will determine each household’s initial program subsidy and share of the rent. The initial household rent is calculated as the difference between 30% of the household’s monthly income and the monthly rent of each unit. Monthly rent payments shall not exceed two times the current HUD fair market rent for the Los Angeles County, as determined pursuant to 24 CFR part 888 (Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments). Each household rent subsidy will vary since the calculation involves the use of individual factors such as the household’s income and household size.
The initial household rent will remain unchanged for the first 6 months of assistance.
Thereafter household rent contributions may be increased if and when the household income increases. Income will need to be recalculated and determined every 6 months by Staff. If there is a change in income, the household’s rent contribution will be 30% of the adjusted household income for the following 6 months until income is calculated again.
B. Payment Standards
Monthly rent payments shall not exceed two times the current HUD fair market rent for the Los Angeles County, as determined pursuant to 24 CFR part 888 (Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments)
Minimum rent under the PLHA rental assistance program is set at $250.00 per month.
The minimum tenant payment is used if the maximum subsidy calculation would result in the household paying less than $250.00 towards the monthly rent.
When utilities are included in the cost of renting a unit, that is, the owner assumes responsibility for payment for all utility services, the households entire share of the housing cost will go directly to the owner.
When the cost of utilities is not part of the rent, that is, the household is directly responsible for payment in utility services, the household’s initial share will be determined by subtracting a utility allowance from 30% of the household’s total income. The City of San Dimas must use the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) Utility Allowance Schedule, as annually adopted by the LACDA, to determine the household’s
utility allowance. The result of 30% of the household’s total income minus the applicable utility allowance is the households initial share of rent. Each household is responsible for paying their rent share directly to the landlord each month.
C. Term
The City of San Dimas Housing Division will provide rental assistance for a maximum of 16 months.
VII. BI-ANNUAL RE-CERTIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF ASSISTANCE A. Bi-annual Recertification
Recertification of income and program eligibility will occur semi-annually and shall be documented in the client file. City staff will gather source documentation for participating household to determine annual income.
If the total household income is above 30% AMI, rental assistance may be terminated.
City staff must obtain approval from the City Housing Manager before rental assistance is continued, as only a limited amount of PLHA funding is available for assistance.
B. Termination of Rental Assistance
The Client Participation Agreement will automatically terminate when:
a. The household vacates the unit in violation of the lease. b. The household has moved from their unit according to the lease terms or secured the owners permission for an early termination dates, and the lease term therefore has ended.
c. The owner has required the household to move according to the lease terms, and the lease term has therefore ended.
d. The owner has evicted the household
e. The owner does not wish to enter into a participation agreement f. The length of the assistance provided the household has reached 16 months.
Under the following circumstances, the City may terminate a Client Participation Agreement a. Failure to comply with the PLHA Program Guidelines and/or Client Participation Agreement.
b. Eviction from the assisted rental unit based on behavioral issues and/or unlawful activity.
c. The participant no longer qualifies, based on income eligibility, for assistance at recertification.
d. Another rental assistance program such as Section 8, will assist the household. Participation in any other rental assistance program is considered a duplicative subsidy therefore all PLHA funded rental assistance must terminate.
e. The unit is not in compliance with HQS or other contract requirements, and the owner refuses to correct the deficiencies.
f. The unit is overcrowded or under occupied due to family composition change.
VIII. AMENDMENTS
Amendments to these guidelines may be made from time to time by the City as necessary.

Attachment 3
Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks & Recreation Subject: Approve a Contract between the City of San Dimas (City) and Consultant Lori Hall-McNary with Rockin’ L&D Equine Education Services for Equestrian Consultant Services in an Amount not to Exceed $9,540.00 and Authorize the City Manager or his Designee to Execute the Contract.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
City staff has retained the services of equestrian expert Lori Hall-McNary to assist staff in completing quarterly inspections, identifying and upholding basic maintenance standards and assisting the Lease Operator to set up systems reflecting best industry practices at the Sycamore Canyon Equestrian Center. The Consultant is certified by the Certified Horsemanship Association to inspect equestrian sites for hazards, maintenance standards and to recommend best practices.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute a professional services agreement with the Consultant to provide basic maintenance standards and best industry practices for the Sycamore Canyon Equestrian Center in an amount not to exceed $9,540.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action, as funds to support the recommended action have been included in the current FY 2023-24 Budget. Staff will request additional funds to support the contract in FY 2024-25.
BACKGROUND
Contract between the City of San Dimas and Consultant Lori Hall-McNary Page 2 For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
The City contracts with a Lease Operator to operate the 17-acre Sycamore Canyon Equestrian Center, which has a capacity of approximately 160 horses. Per the Lease Agreement between the City and the Lease Operator, the City conducts quarterly inspections at the facility to identify hazards, uphold basic maintenance standards and integrate best practices into the facility’s operations. Inspections of the Sycamore Canyon Equestrian facility were conducted in March and October of 2023 and the next inspection is scheduled for January 7, 2024.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The use of the equestrian expert to assist with quarterly inspections provides a higher level of expertise and core knowledge about equestrian operations that staff alone does not possess.
The consultant provides guidance on inspections, facility maintenance standards, legal obligations, overall operations and industry best practices. This knowledge is invaluable to ensure that staff is conducting quarterly inspections that are relevant, identify salient issues for corrective action and hold the Lease Operator accountable to basic standards.
The initial contract with the Consultant was for a not-to-exceed amount of $5,040, which included participation in one (1) facility inspection, the provision of a written report summarizing findings from the inspection, presenting a report to the City Council (if needed) and the development of basic maintenance and care standards for the City (Attachment 1, Exhibit B). Staff now wishes to expand the scope of the contract to include participation in four (4) facility inspections in 2024.
Although the total not-to-exceed amount of the contract is $9,540 and is within the signing authority of the Parks and Recreation Director, staff has agendized this item for the City Council’s approval to promote transparency.

The City Council could decide not to authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate or execute a contract with the aforementioned equestrian expert. In this case, staff would continue to conduct regular quarterly facility inspections but would not benefit from the consultant’s experience or insight into equestrian operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by Agency shall not be required to contribute with it.

Rev. 06/22 Page 4 of 20 Design Professional Service Agreement Agency’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.
Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the Agency with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the Consultant’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Consultant shall have the responsibility of notifying the Agency immediately
Rev. 06/22 Page 5 of 20 Design Professional Service Agreement in the event of Consultant’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Consultant (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Consultant of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Consultant with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Consultant under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor.
Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to Agency for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the Agency and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
Rev. 06/22 Page 6 of 20 Design Professional Service Agreement Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Agency. Agency reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give Agency prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

SUMMARY
Chapter 18.42 of the San Dimas Municipal Code implements the development standards within the Multiple-Family (MF) Zone. Included in these development standards are provisions that dictate the amount of open green area / open space and front and side setbacks for new developments. Chapter 18.156 sets the parking standards for all developments within the City, including all parking required for multi-family developments Staff has received an application for a Municipal Code Text Amendment to amend Chapter
18.42 Multi-Family (MF) Zone to reduce the amount of useable open space that a new multifamily development must set aside and maintain as part of a new development.
As part of the adopted and certified San Dimas Housing Element, the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) required the City to add Program 10, which calls for the City to amend the setbacks, open green area / open space and parking requirements in the multi-family zone to remove development constraints.
At the City Council meeting of November 28, 2023, the City Council introduced Ordinance 1301 approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-0001.

18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage with Respect to Vehicle Parking Requirements for MultiFamily Developments Along with Associated Clean Up Items
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.
BACKGROUND
On April 4, 2022, David Yashar submitted an application to request the initiation of a Municipal Code Text Amendment to reduce the amount of open green areas/open space required for a new multi-family development within the MF Zone, MCTA 22-0003.
On May 19, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the request and initiated the Code Text Amendment. In addition, the Commission directed Staff to explore reducing the required setbacks to provide additional areas where open green areas/open space may be provided and to increase the developable area of parcels within the MF Zone. Subsequently, on September 1, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and adopted Resolution PC-1654, recommending that the City Council approve MCTA 22-0003 to reduce the amount of open green areas/open space, as well as reduce the required front and side setbacks in the MF Zone.
On September 27, 2022, Staff presented the MCTA to the City Council. After Staff’s presentation, Council continued the item to the October 11, 2022, meeting. During this meeting, the Council voted for no action and requested that Staff schedule the item for a future Study Session to further discuss the amendments.
On September 27, 2022, the City Council approved the 6th Cycle Housing Element for San Dimas through Resolution 2022-50. The Housing Element was then certified by the HCD on October 14, 2022. Included within the Housing Element is Program 10, which calls on the City to revise standards, including parking requirements, which constrain development within the MF-30 and MF zones.
On September 26, 2023, the City Council held a Study Session to discuss the proposed standards and provide feedback to Staff. The standards were the same that were previously presented to the Commission and the Council, and parking standards as required by the Housing Element.
Staff received City Council feedback and made their requested changes to the proposed code text. The information presented to the City Council was the same as had been previously provided to the Planning Commission and City Council for the Public Hearings.
On November 2, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution PC-1672, recommending that the City Council approve MCTA 22-0003 to reduce the
Second Reading of Municipal Code Text Amendment 22-0003 Page 3 For the Meeting of December 12, 2023
amount of open green areas/open space, the required front and side setbacks and the required number of parking spaces required per unit for new multi-family developments.
On November 28, 2023, the City Council voted 4-1 to introduce Ordinance 1301 to approve MCTA 23-003, subject to amending the proposed amount of open space from 400 to 500 square feet per unit and changing the minimum dimension of any useable open space area from 10 feet in any given direction to 15 feet in any given direction. Should the Council adopt Ordinance 1301, the Ordinance will be effective January 12, 2024, 30 days from the second reading.

WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on November 28, 2023 at the hour of 7:00 p.m., with all testimony received being made a part of the public record; and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that the proposed amendment is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, where it can be seen with certainty that the amendment would not have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF SAN DIMAS, California, does ordain as follows:
A. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
The proposed amendments to reduce the required open space, front and side yard setback, and parking requirements for MF zoned parcels would allow for greater development potential on these parcels, without impacting adjoining properties or properties in the general area. The reduced setbacks would still provide for adequate spacing between structures on adjacent properties; therefore, no impact to adjoining properties is anticipated. The proposed parking requirements are still adequate for the needs of the developments and will allow more flexibility in design. In addition, the amendments would relax existing development constraints in the MF zone, which could increase the value of these properties, encourage new development within the City and potentially increase the value of nearby properties in the process. Any new development in the MF zone would still be subject to the high architectural standards that the City expects; therefore, the amendments would not be detrimental to the surrounding area.
B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed amendments are meant to improve the development capability of MF zoned parcels, which could result in new developments and expansion of existing multi-family developments. This would further the general welfare of San Dimas by increasing the available housing stock for all residents and providing more housing options within the City. New developments and expansion of existing developments would be subject to all City and Building Code requirements to ensure there is no impact to the public health, safety and general welfare.
C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and applicable Zoning.
The proposed amendments to reduce the required open space, front and side yard setbacks, and parking requirements for parcels within the MF zone would create more
Ordinance 1301 Page 3
Municipal Code Text Amendment 22-0003
flexible development standards in compliance with the existing Multi-family General Plan land use designation and the MF zoning. The City’s adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element, which was certified by the Department of Housing and Community Development, includes Goal 4, the removal of government constraints, and Program 10, which aims to identify and remove development constraints in the MF zone; therefore, the proposed amendments would be consistent with the General Plan, and MF zoning, as well as with the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element.
SECTION 1. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdication, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 2. CEQA DETERMINATION. The City Council hereby finds and determines that is can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this ordinance may have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Thus, the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 3. EFFECTIVE DATE AND PUBLICATION. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its final passage. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be posted at the duly designated posting places within the City and published once within 15 days after passage and adoption as may be required by law in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of San Dimas hereby designated for that purpose; or, in the alternative, the City Clerk may cause to be published a summary of this Ordinance and certified copy of the text of this Ordinance shall be posted in the Office of the City Clerk five days prior to the date of adoption of this Ordinance; and, within 15 days after adoption, the City Clerk shall cause to be published, the aforementioned summary and shall post a certified copy of this Ordinance, together with the vote for and against the same, in the Office of the City Clerk.
