2024-2025 Budget Study Sessions - City Council Meeting Recap PW 13. How many trees have we received/purchased through Republic Services? The current agreement with Republic Services states that in celebration of Earth Day (or on Arbor Day depending on the City’s preference) Republic will donate 100 Oak trees grown at Sunshine Canyon Landfill to the City. This donation obligation, however, has only been met historically on an as-requested basis. To-date, staff requested ~60 trees which were fulfilled though with trees not meeting the City’s specificity. In FY2022-2023, Staff requested if Republic Services would instead amend the contractual terms to provide funding to the City towards the tree purchase of trees to satisfy the agreement. While verbally authorized, transition in the Republic’s staffing stalled the formalization of this agreement, which is yet pending.
PW
14. How many vacant tree wells do we have? How
many trees need to be purchased to fill those treewells? A total of 61 trees are need to fill all the vacant tree wells. There are 31 vacant tree wells on Maclay, 10 vacant tree well surrounding Rydell Car Dealership Area (Truman/Kittridge/Wolfskill intersections) and approximately 20 scattered around the downtown area.

The Department maintains an inventory of stumps, dead and stressed Trees. Approximately 200 stumps are in this inventory. The Department has rented a stump grinder on a few occasions and has been successful in removing 10 to 15 stumps during each rental. As a possible stump removal plan for the remaining 200 stumps, the department, over the course of the next fiscal year would rent the stump grinder approximately 20 times at a cost of approximately $8,000 and remove 10 to 15 stumps per rental. Sufficient funds are included within existing operational budget for this effort.
PW

21. Signage: How many of the priority/condition 1’s
and 2’s can be replaced with $50,000?
After further evaluation of the priority signage condition report, this report only identifies Street Sweeping Signs. Of which, alternative Special Funds (e.g. Measure W) can be used. The Department, in turn, would opt to use a different strategyinitially replacing (1) Wayfinding Signs followed by (2) Warning and RegulatorySignage.The Wayfinding Signs cost approximately $250 each. Staff would need to conduct a secondary inventory to identify all signage but estimates approximately 50 signs for replacement at a total of $12,500. Warning and Regulatory Signs (i.e. stop signs, cross walk signs, do not enter and speed limit, etc.) are approximately $100 each.

22. Bike Path Safety. City Council directed staff to use LLAD funds last year to upgrade the lighting onthe bike path. What is the status? Funding has been carried over from the prior fiscal year. The Department is developing a strategy for replacing the lighting while enhancing security because the area is prone to vandalism and theft.

23. Have we ever contracted with a company to
manage graffiti abatement? Pros and cons basedon that experience? The City used a company named Graffiti Busters previously (before the Great Recession). The City’s experience with outsourcing this service is outlined below:
Pros:
1. Expertise: Contractors specialized in graffiti removal have the knowledge, experience, and proper equipment to effectively removegraffiti without damaging the underlying surface.
2. Time-saving: Hiring a contractor can save you time and effort, as they can quickly address the graffiti issue and restore the affected area.
3. Cost-effective: While there is a cost associated with hiring a contractor, it can be more cost-effective than attempting to remove graffiti on yourown, especially if you consider potential damage that could occur.
Cons:
1. Cost: Hiring a contractor for graffiti abatement can be expensive, especially for recurring graffiti incidents.
2. Availability: Depending on the contractor's schedule, there may be a waiting period before they can address the graffiti, which can befrustrating if you need it removed quickly.
3. Quality of work: Not all contractors may provide the same level of quality in graffiti removal, so it's important to do your research andchoose a reputable contractor.

24. City’s Healthcare Liability: How much does the
City save for every $1 invested through Section115 Trust? How much time would it take to paydown City’s liability with continued Section 115Trust investment? Staff has coordinated with the City’s Section 115 vendor for this analysis (See Exhibit 4). To summarize, while the value of the $1 is based on market rates. If the City were not to make any contributions to the Section 115, it could take up to 73 years to reduce the current balance at a low-end market growth rate of 5%. Alternatively, if the City were to continue to contribute $500,000 per year for the Section 115, the time could be reduced to a maximum of 30 years at the same market rate.

2024-2025 Budget Study Sessions – City Council Meetings Recap f. Information on why San Fernando Valley Mile (SFVM) and Day of the Dead (DOD) were originally combined and costs/dates for separating events:
History of Events and Rationale for Combining: The 5K Race and Family Relay typically took place in September but due to warmer weather, they continued to be postponed annually, eventually coinciding with the Day of the Dead (DOD) Event. During a transition period between Directors in 2016-2017, the staff proposed merging both events to infuse a thematic element into the 5K race, boost participation, and streamline event planning.
Since both the 5K and DOD events were previously held at Rec Park, combining them proved more efficient given the venue's suitability for hosting both simultaneously. In 2021, only the DOD event was held due to the gradual reintroduction of programming post-pandemic and staff restructuring.
In 2022, post-pandemic, Dr. Loy suggested transforming the race from a 5K to a 1-mile run, akin to New York's "Miracle Mile," and relocating it from Rec Park to Maclay for logistical advantages, providing a direct route from the City arch to the civic center. The proposal was preferable in the first year due to Rec Park's closure for the capital infiltration project.
The SFV Mile event was greenlit due to the partnership with CSUN and their ability to secure a title sponsor ($40,000 – Anthem). Since Dr. Loy’s retirement, the CSUN staff overseeing SFVM, the university opted not to fill his position, resulting in the loss of 3Wins' faculty advisor.
Consequently, in December 2023, the program was absorbed, albeit operating at reduced capacity, limited to SF exclusively.

2024-2025 Budget Study Sessions – City Council Meetings Recap While the DOD event in the Maclay parking lot has been managed effectively by staff, it's worth mentioning that using County lots incurs fees, unlike the free park setting, which better suits the style of the cultural festival. Staff can provide further details upon request. Proposed Event Dates: If events were separated, the San Fernando Valley Mile Run would take place on Saturday, October 26th and the Day of the Dead event on Saturday, November 2nd. Proposed Event Costs: Nominal savings would be achieved if the events are separated. o Day of the Dead & SFVM Events Together: Total Cost = $57,572 (DOD = $17,153 & SFVM = $40,418)
o Separate Events: $56,390 (DOD = $14,400 & SFVM = $42,250). When separated, pre-staging the day prior is not required and in turn, a light tower rental is unneeded. Also, there is less spending required for supplies for Day of the Dead Event. The event can also be relocated to Recreation Park, which would relieve rental costs for the current parking lot where the event has been held to be in closer proximity to the SFVM.
h. Information on allowable uses of Opioid Settlement Funding Including Youth Programming:
On December 6, 2021, City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the execution of settlement agreements with certain manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of opioid pharmaceuticals.
Original estimates for total settlements amounts to be distributed to subdivisions was approximately $2.19B of which the City was projected receive approximately $230,000 in under these settlement agreements over a seven year period.
Settlements between California State Subdivisions have been reached with Distributors, J&J, Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart. The City has received payments totaling $35,973.45 to-date.
The Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 includes a recommendation of $11,937 to be used for a drug take back/disposal program to purchase a narcotics incinerator. The purchase of the incinerator will result in cost savings because currently, when narcotics are destroyed, a caravan requiring multiple officers to escort the seized property to the City of Long Beach is required. However, the City of Long Beach’s incinerator has since closed which has caused the City and other Los Angeles County agencies to no longer have a viable alternative to destroy seized narcotics.
Settlement funds are intended to be used for future remediation of the opioid crisis, and efforts should be focused on community-based public health approaches to prevention, treatment, recovery, and/or harm reduction. More details regarding allowable uses are outlined in the January 6, 2025 Special & Regular Meeting Page 30 of 814 EXHIBIT “1”

Staff reviews requests for expenditures for budgetary approval and then prepares a Warrant Register for Council approval and or ratification. Items such as payroll withholding tax deposits do not require budget approval.
The Director of Finance/City Treasure hereby certifies that all requests for expenditures have been signed by the department head, or designee, receiving the merchandise or services thereby stating that the items or services have been received and that the resulting expenditure is appropriate. The Director of Finance/City Treasurer hereby certifies that each warrant has been reviewed for completeness and that sufficient funds are available for payment of the warrant register.
