There were 10 speakers opposing the appeal to overturn the Planning and Preservation Commission decision, and four (4) public comments were received by email also in opposition. The City Council directed staff to provide additional information and continued the public hearing to March 17, 2025.

ANALYSIS:

As part of the Public Hearing and Appeal Hearing held by City Council on February 18, 2025, staff was directed to provide additional information before a final determination on the appeal can be made. The following sections provide a recap of the February 18, 2025 public hearing; a summary of public comments received at the hearing; proposed additional conditions of approval; and further information on the environmental review for the proposed project. At the end of the Agenda Report, staff has included the Application History & Process section, which provides the project description and information considered in the original hearing date for City Council reference.

Recap of February 18, 2025 City Council Meeting.

At a public hearing on February 18, 2025, the appeal was presented to the City Council. Staff presented a modified project that was redesigned based on community and staff feedback, including comments from a community meeting hosted by the Applicant at Las Palmas Park on February 5, 2025. At the community meeting, there were approximately nine (9) people in attendance. Issues of concern that were expressed were in regards to parking, infrastructure and density. Residents asked the developer to reduce the number of units and consider changing the proposed project from a for-rent apartment development to a single-family for sale development.

The modifications that were a result of feedback included relocating the residential structure from the west to the east side of the Project Site and improving the façades of the structures.

Summary of Public Comments.

Public comments were provided by residents, expressing concerns about the number of units proposed, increased residential traffic, increased deliveries, impacts to parking, height of the structures, and impacts to sewer and water infrastructure.

City Council directed staff to gather additional information pertaining to sewer and water capacity, proposed additional conditions of approval to address community concerns and a review of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document. Response to the City Council requests are provided below.

Brand Boulevard in the R-2/PD Zone

City water capacity:

The 2021-2029 San Fernando Housing Element, states the expected City demand for water in 2030 is 2,960 Acre-Feet/Year. The City’s groundwater pumping allotment is 3,570 Acre-Feet/Year; therefore, the available supply exceeds the projected 2030 demand by 610 Acre-Feet/Year or 20%. Therefore, the current water system could support the proposed 12 residential units.

Additionally the Public Works Department Water Division was able to confirm the Project Site location at 833 N. Brand Blvd. is served by an 8” ductile iron (DI) pipe and has pressure of approximately 74 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). Based on the size and pressure present, the Water Division determined there would not be any anticipated issues with supplying water to this location or that the additional units would affect the infrastructure in the area.

City sewer capacity:

According to the Public Works Department Engineering Division, the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (SSMP) from 2014 does not identify any hydraulic or structural deficiencies for the sewer main that serves the property at 833 N. Brand Boulevard. The existing 8” sewer main serves existing residential dwellings and is adequate to service the additional 12 units. Based on this information, adding the proposed 12 units would not affect the current sewer infrastructure and service.

Proposed additional conditions of approval.

Staff is proposing to add the following conditions of approval to the project in response to community and Council comments. A summary of the proposed conditions are described below.

The full condition is listed in Exhibit “A” to Attachment “A”. • Condition #12: Temporary signage to be posted at the front and rear of the property for the duration of the construction to inform the public of hours of construction and contact information for the construction manager to report any issues. • Condition #26: A Comprehensive Construction Management Plan (CMP). A comprehensive CMP shall be submitted to Building & Safety prior to permits being issued. A CMP demonstrates how pedestrians will be protected, traffic will be managed, location and travel routes of off-site staging and parking locations, as well as estimated deliveries of construction materials, disposal and treatment of site to control pests, dust and noise.
• Condition #43: Parcel deliveries. This condition requires a physical drop box for all parcel deliveries to be located at the rear of the property, accessed through the alley. • Condition #44. Garages. This condition requires the lease agreement to include a clause that garages are to be kept clear to accommodate two cars at all times.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Information:

On March 5, 2025, the City Manager provided the CEQA Exemption Memo prepared by the Chambers Group to City Council via email in advance of the City Council agenda.

Environmental Review.

No further environmental analysis is required upon approving the Appeal as the project has been reviewed by the City for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Class 32 – In-Fill Development Exemption (Exhibit “C” to Attachment “A”) was prepared by environmental consultant firm, Chambers Group, Inc. Based on the provided analysis, the proposed Project meets all the conditions of Class 32 categorical exemption for the following reasons: it is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulation; the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five (5) acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; approval of the project would not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

The Project does not have the potential to trigger any of the exceptions identified in CEQA Guidelines §15300.2 as follows: (1) the project is not located in environmentally sensitive areas; (2) there is no potential for the significant cumulative impact of successive projects; (3) there are no unusual circumstances; (4) the Project may not result in damage to scenic resources; (5) the site is not on any list of hazardous waste sites; and (6) the property does not qualify as a historic resource. Therefore, the proposed Project is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332, Class 32 – In-Fill Development Projects. Based on this analysis, no significant environmental effects would result from this project and the use of a categorical exemption is appropriate.

The denial of the Appeal is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as the action has been determined to not be considered a “project”, under CEQA as defined in Public Resources code section 21065 as the denial does not have the potential to affect the environment, nor to cause a reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Application History & Process (as originally presented on February 18, 2025):

Basis for Appeal
On October 22, 2024, Midland Contractors Inc., filed an appeal, (“Appellant”), to the Planning and Preservation Commission’s denial of Site Plan Review No. 2024-001 and of issuing a Certificate of Use for the Project described above.

March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 309 of 394

Brand Boulevard in the R-2/PD Zone

In summary the Appellant, Midland Contractors Inc., states that the project adheres to all the planning requirements of the R-2/PD zone, complies with the requirements of Public Works and has a Notice of Exemption from a City Certified CEQA consultant. The appellant further states that they request an approval of the request since all the City provisions required to approve the project have been fulfilled.

City Council Review Authority
The City Council’s review authority for this appeal is governed by San Fernando Municipal Code (SFMC) Section 106-79, which provides that the City Council may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the application and shall render its decision by resolution within 30 days after the conclusion of the hearing. In its consideration of this matter, the City Council may take the following actions:
• Approve the Appeal, overturn the Planning and Preservation Commission’s decision to Deny Site Plan Review No. 2024-001 and the Issuance of a Certificate of Use, and Issue a Certificate of Use for the Project (Staff Recommendation). • Deny the Appeal and affirm the Planning and Preservation Commission’s decision.

Application Process
In the City of San Fernando, if a proposed project is allowed by right, then it requires the applicant to submit a Site Plan Review application to ensure conformity with the Zoning Code, consistency with the general plan, any applicable specific plans, and adopted design guidelines. Conditions of approval may be placed on the project to ensure compliance is maintained for the life project.

Once the Site Plan has been deemed complete and in conformance with the above codes and legislative policies, it is approved by the Director of Community Development.

If the zone requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed development’s use then the Planning and Preservation Commission approves the CUP. Conditional uses are those uses that have a special impact or uniqueness such that their effect on the surrounding environment cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a particular location.

Additionally, certain zones and specific uses in San Fernando also require specific approvals or actions by the Planning and Preservation Commission or other commissions. One (1) such instance is that of the Precise Development (PD) Zone. The PD zone is an overlay zone that requires the development of land to be subject to the issuance of a Certificate of Use by the Planning and Preservation Commission. These types of approvals are considered “discretionary” because the decision maker, in this case the Commission, uses judgment and deliberation to decide whether to approve or deny the project. The decision is also based on specific findings of fact specified in the Zoning Code.

Brand Boulevard in the R-2/PD Zone

When an application for a housing development is received, in addition to the zoning code the application must be reviewed for compliance with a number of state laws and local regulations.

These may include the Housing Accountability Act, State Density Bonus Law, and State Residential Replacement Determination.
833 N. Brand Boulevard Development Proposal (Site Plan Review No. 2024-001) On January 2, 2024, a Site Plan Review application was received to demolish a 1,320 sq. ft. single-family residence and accessory structures for the construction of a 3-story, 10-unit townhouse style multi-family residential development with two (2) detached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and associated site improvements at 833 N. Brand Boulevard. Although there are single-family residences in that area, the proposed site is zoned for Multiple-Family Dwelling (R-2 Zone), which is intended to provide for medium density residential development. The R-2 Zone allows for multi-family developments at a density of one (1) unit per 2,562 square feet of net lot area. The density calculation for the proposed project is provided below under project description.

The subject property is also located with a Precise Development Overlay Zone, which was approved by the City in 1989. Pursuant to SFMC Section 106-644, development of land in a PD precise development zone for any specific use shall be subject to the issuance of a certificate of use. The Planning and Preservation Commission is the authority body that issues the certificate of use.

Project Description
The proposed development is designed with two (2) separate structures: one (1) structure contains ten (10) townhome style rental units along the length of the property and the second structure contains two (2) detached ADUs at the rear of the property. The townhome-style dwelling units are three (3) stories with the first floor consisting of a garage and the second and third floor consisting of living area. Each unit has a 2-car enclosed garage, storage area (on the garage level), and a private open space area. The garages are accessible by a single driveway along the length of the property accessed from North Brand Boulevard. Front entrances are accessed from a pedestrian walkway along the side of the property, also accessed from North Brand Boulevard. The applicant has revised the site plan to relocate the building with the ten (10) townhome style dwellings from the east side of the property to the west side of the property.

This allows for vehicle entrance from front and rear of the property. Elevations have also been revised to reduce the massing of the building. Revised plans are included as Attachment “E”.

One (1) of the units will be ADA-compliant, providing an accessible route to the primary entry and one (1) additional bedroom with a bathroom on the first floor.

Brand Boulevard in the R-2/PD Zone

Application Review
The application was reviewed in compliance with the City’s Zoning Code as well as Housing Accountability Act, State Density Bonus Law, and State Residential Replacement Determination.

As previously mentioned, the R-2 Zone allows for one (1) unit per 2,562 square feet of net lot area. Based on the lot area of 18,000 square feet, a maximum of eight (8) units are allowed on the site. However, by proposing to designate one (1) unit as a covenant restricted unit for a Very Low Income household, the project is entitled to a 32.5% density bonus per State law, allowing up to three (3) additional units. The Applicant proposed a total of ten (10) dwelling units as part of the primary structure; eight (8) permitted by right and two (2) permitted under the Density Bonus provisions. In addition to the primary structure, two (2) detached ADUs are permitted per Government Code Section 66323(a)(3).

Originally, 1-unit was proposed as a covenant restricted unit for a Very Low Income household, however, the project will be conditioned to make two (2) of the units covenant restricted for Very Low Income under the Replacement Unit Determination law.

Although the two (2) structures fall within the by-right requirements of the Zoning Code, the Precise Development Overlay Zone requires discretionary approval of a Certificate of Use by the Planning & Preservation Commission, which is similar to a Conditional Use Permit.

October 14, 2024 Planning and Preservation Commission Meeting.

At a public hearing on October 14, 2024, the proposed development was presented to the Planning and Preservation Commission to consider the issuance of a Certificate of Use. The Commission denied the request on a vote of 3-1-1. Commission comments were related to the following concerns:
• Increased density in the area;
• Increased traffic (residential and delivery);
• Parking impacts;
• Construction impacts;
• Asthma rates;
• Design; and
• Impacts to sewer and water.

Public Comments:

Public comments were provided by residents, expressing concerns about the number of units proposed, increased residential traffic, increased deliveries, impacts to parking, conjunction, height of the structures, impacts to sewer and water infrastructure, and notification. A petition signed by 122 residents opposed to the construction of the project was submitted to the Commission Secretary.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals.

The recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. Environmental Findings
The proposed project has been reviewed by the City for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Class 32 – In-Fill Development Exemption Memo was prepared by environmental consultant firm, Chambers Group, Inc. (Exhibit “C”). Based on the provided analysis, the proposed Project meets all the conditions of Class 32 categorical exemption: it is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulation; the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; approval of the project would not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

The Project does not have the potential to trigger any of the exceptions identified in CEQA Guidelines §15300.2: the project is not located in environmentally sensitive areas; there is no potential for the significant cumulative impact of successive projects; there are no unusual circumstances; the Project may not result in damage to scenic resources; the site is to on any list of hazardous waste sites; and the property does not qualify as a historic resource. Therefore, the proposed Project is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332, Class 32 – In-Fill Development Projects. Based on this analysis, no significant environmental effects would result from this project and the use of a categorical exemption is appropriate. Since no new significant information has been found that would impact the CEQA Exemption; no additional environmental analysis is required.

RES. NO. 8365
3 SECTION 3. Certificate of Use Findings
Pursuant to SFMC Sec. 106-644, all procedures regarding issuance of a Certificate of Use in a Precise Development Zone, or the revocation or modification thereof, shall be governed by provisions establishing procedures related to Conditional Use Permits. Pursuant to San Fernando Municipal Code Section 106-145 the following findings shall be made for approval of a Conditional Use Permit:

Finding 1: The proposed use is one (1) (conditionally) permitted within the subject zone and complies with all of the applicable sections of this chapter.

Evidence: Pursuant to SFMC Sec. 106-387, the R-2 Multiple-Family Dwelling Zone allows for the development of multiple-family dwelling units and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as a permitted use. The California State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) allows for an increased density. The approval of the requested Certificate of Use would allow for the proposed entitlement of a new 10-unit residential development, including 2 deed restricted affordable units, with 2 detached ADUs.

The proposed project is also eligible for up to two (2) concessions or incentives under Density Bonus Law. This allows for the request to modify development standards that would otherwise make the project financially infeasible, or waivers from standards that would prevent the project from being built at the allowable density. This project has requested one incentive: an increase in lot coverage from 40% permitted in the R-2 zone to 42%.

Finding 2: The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located.

Evidence: The City’s General Plan Land Use Element designates the Project site as Medium Density Residential land use and the site is zoned Multiple-Family Dwelling with a Precise Development Overlay Zone (R-2/PD). Pursuant to The City’s General Plan Land Use Element, future uses that are envisioned for the area include multi-family residential development.

To ensure the protection and preservation of the surrounding neighborhood, while fostering and promoting growth in the zone, the city’s standard conditions of approval would be adopted to address issues associated with noise, trash and debris, and other public nuisance conditions. Noncompliance with the adopted conditions of approval would require the City to seek corrective action from the property owner.

Finding 3: The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed.

Evidence: The Project Site is a generally flat 18.000 sq. ft. or 0.41 acre parcel and is located on the western side of North Brand Boulevard, south of Lucas Street and north of Glenoaks Boulevard. The Project Site abuts similarly zoned properties March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 316 of 394
RES. NO. 8365
4 R-2/PD Overlay the north, west, and east. The neighboring properties to the south, across the street, are zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. Parking for the project will consist of 20 parking spaces in a garage and 2 additional guest parking spaces.

Therefore, the site is physically suitable as proposed.

Finding 4: The proposed use is compatible with the land uses presently on the subject property.

Evidence: The project site is designated by The General Plan Land Use Element as Medium Density Residential. The proposed Certificate of Use to a new 10-unit residential development, including 2 deed restricted affordable units, with 2 detached ADUs would be compatible with the present land use. Currently the site is occupied with a residential use and therefore, the proposed residential use is compatible with the land use present on the subject property.

Finding 5: The proposed use would be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located.

Evidence: The Precise Development Overlay Zone (R-2/PD) allows uses permitted in the R-2 Multiple-Family Dwelling zone where future uses include residential uses. In 1987, this block was designated for Medium Density Residential land use in the General Plan Land Use Element. On February 21, 1989, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1332 changing the zoning from Single-Family Residential (R-1) and Multiple-Family (R-3) to Multiple-Family Dwelling Precise Development (R-2 PD) for properties located at the area between Lucas Street, Glenoaks Boulevard, Brand Boulevard and the Alley east of Maclay Avenue. The request to allow the multi-family use would entitle the already existing project site and therefore, is compatible with the land use present on the subject property.

Finding 6: There would be adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safety.

Evidence: The existing site is adequately served by existing water, sanitation, and public utilities. Any required future improvements to infrastructure and public utilities with the change of occupancy would be required to be developed in compliance with the requirements of the city’s building and health and safety codes, including any requirements for offsite improvements and utility connections from the City’s Public Works Department.

Finding 7: There would be adequate provisions for public access to serve the subject proposal.

Evidence: The Project Site is a generally flat 18.000 sq. ft. or 0.41 acre parcel and is located on the western side of North Brand Boulevard, south of Lucas Street and north of Glenoaks Boulevard. Parking for the project will consist of 20 parking spaces in a garage and 2 additional guest parking spaces. The site will provide shared use of the existing driveway approach off of N Brand Blvd.

March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 317 of 394
RES. NO. 8365
5 Finding 8: The proposed use would be appropriate in light of an established need for the use at the proposed location.

Evidence: The proposed Project is consistent with the Housing Element Goal 2.0, Policy 2.1, which is to provide adequate housing sites to facilitate the development of a range of residential housing types in San Fernando that fulfill regional housing needs by constructing 8 new market rate housing units and 2 ADUs, while maintaining 2 Very Low Income housing unit. This will further the intent of the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), 2021-2029, as prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments and the State of California Housing and Community Development Department, which call for an addition of 1,795 housing units in San Fernando in the RHNA planning period ending in 2029.

Finding 9: The proposed use is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs of the city's general plan.

Evidence: The City’s General Plan Land Use Element designates the Project Site as Medium Density Residential land use area, a location where future uses envisioned for the area to provide multi-family developments. The entitlement of a new 10-unit residential development, including 2 deed restricted affordable units, with 2 ADUs would meet the density standards and would meet the goals of the R-2/PD Overlay to t and supports the Housing Element Goal 2.0, Policy 2.1.

The density for this site allows for a maximum of 37 dwelling units per acre; this site measuring 0.41 acres would allow for a maximum of 8 units. Two additional units are allowed under the provisions of State Density Bonus law, and two ADUs are permitted per Government Code Sec. 66323(a)(3). Additionally, two units are required to be deed restricted to affordable households at the very low income level. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with the General Plan.

Finding 10: The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

Evidence: The requested Certificate of Use to allow a new 10-unit residential development, including 2 deed restricted affordable units, with 2 detached ADUs will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare due to the fact that the proposed use will be consistent with and complement established uses within the vicinity. The proposed entitlement will provide a new paved driveway, new landscaping and new garages which will serve the tenants and provide an overall improvement to the site. With the adoption of the recommended conditions of approval for the requested Certificate of Use, the applicant would be required to provide sufficient safeguards to deter any potential public nuisance issues and protect public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

Multi-Family Residential Development in San Fernando, CA Notice of Exemption (NOE)
The City of San Fernando (City), asthe Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), proposes to construct a Multi-Family Residential Development Project in San Fernando, California (Proposed Project).

Project Location: The Project site is located at 833 North Brand Boulevard, San Fernando, CA 91340.

Description of Project: Midland Contractors, Inc. is proposing to develop a small (12-unit) multi-family residential development located at 833 North Brand Boulevard, San Fernando, CA 91340-1412. Nine units will be standard, one unit will be designated for affordable housing at a very low income level, and two units will be Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Open space will be provided totaling 1,000 square feet. The City has preliminary determined the Project may meet the criteria for an Article 19 Section 15332 Class 32 Infill Development Project Categorical Exemption (CE).

Project Schedule: The Proposed Project is expected to break ground in December 2024 and be completed by December 2025. Construction activities will take place between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, and will not take place on Sunday or a Federal holiday.

Reason Why Project is Exempt:

The proposed activity is a project subject to CEQA. However, it is exempt from further environmental analysis under a Class 32 In-Fill Development Projects (CEQA Guidelines § No. 15332). • Class 32 categorical exemption consists of projects as in-fill development meeting the following conditions:
o The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation andregulations. o The proposed development occurs within the city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
o The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. o Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
o The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

The Multi-Family Residential Development in San Fernando, CA Project meets all the conditions of Class 32 categorical exemption. The Proposed Project does not have the potential to trigger any of the exceptions identified in CEQA Guidelines §15300.2. Consequently, as documented below, the Proposed Project is exempt from further CEQA review.
(a) Location. The improvements will occur entirely within the city limits which is located in an urbanized community. The Projectsite is 0.41 acres. The Projectsite is located within the MultipleFamily Dwelling / Precise Development Overlay Zone (R-2 PD) (City, 2019). The existing conditions on the Project site are disturbed, including a 1,320 sq. ft. single-family house and two accessory structures. Minor ground disturbance would occur during construction but would be limited to previously disturbed surfaces. The Proposed Project would not impact environmentally sensitive areas or an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. This exception does not apply to the Proposed Project.

RES. NO. 8365
EXHIBIT "C"
March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 335 of 394
(b) Cumulative Impact. As further discussed below under (c) Significant Effects, the Proposed Project would not have a significant effect on the environment, including those due to unusual circumstances. The Proposed Project would use a previously disturbed lot to develop family housing that is consistent with the R-2 Zoning Code and adopt the San Fernando Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Residential Development. The Proposed Project would increase family housing in the area. Accordingly, since the Proposed Project would not result in any significant environmental impacts, project implementation would not add appreciably to impacts of any existing or foreseeable future projects (City of San Fernando, 2024) that could result in a significant cumulative impact. Any incremental impacts, if any, would be negligible. Potential future projects would be required to conduct a separate environmental analysis and mitigate any potential impacts to less-than-significant levels. The Proposed Project would not result in any significant cumulative impacts. This exception does not apply to the Proposed Project. (c) Significant Effect. The construction of family housing in an area that includes multi-family and single-family residences is not considered an unusual circumstance. The Project site is currently a single-family home. The Proposed Project would follow design guidelines designated by the City and would not appear visually incompatible with existing equipment and accessories on the Project site. Normal operations will be similar and consistent with current uses surrounding the Project site. The Proposed Project is located within a disturbed, urbanized environment and will not involve the removal of any vegetation or scenic trees, nor would it impact any scenic vistas within the immediate area. Impacts to traffic, noise, air quality, and water quality are described below:

Traffic: Per the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition (2021), the Proposed Project would generate 88 average daily trips. The average daily trips are calculated using the ITE trip generation factor for low-rise multi-family residential units of 7.32 average daily trips per unit. Small projects that generate fewer than 110 daily trips are determined to have a less-than-significant transportation impact and do not require further study (OPR, 2018).

Noise: The City’s Noise Ordinance is included in Chapter 34 Article II of the City’s Municipal Code.

Per the Municipal Code, the maximum permissible ambient noise level for residential uses shall not exceed 55 dBA between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. and 50 dBA between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Operational noise levels would be similar to existing levels, would not exceed noise levels of typical residential communities, and would be required to comply with the noise levels identified in the Municipal Code. Additionally, construction of the Proposed Project would be required to occur outside of the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays, or at any time on Sundays or on federal holidays. The construction noise would be required to remain under 70 dB at the property line.

The City’s General Plan Noise Element (1987) identifies the Project site experiences a Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) in between 65 and 70. Due to the Project site’s proximity to N.

Maclay Avenue and Glenoaks Boulevard, both classified as Major Arterials, and proximity to nearby commercial and industrial uses, it is unlikely that the Proposed Project would result in a significant noise impact. Compliance with the City’s Noise Ordinance and proximity to nearby high levels of ambient noise would reduce any impact associated with noise to less than significant.

Air Quality: Construction would result in a temporary increase of emissions and operational emissions would be similar to existing conditions and typical of residential development. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) established screening tables for identifying projects that would result in potentially significant impacts associated with air quality.

RES. NO. 8365
EXHIBIT "C"
March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 336 of 394
Per the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook (1993), multi-family projects with fewer than 261 units are generally assumed to result in less than significant air quality impacts. Additionally, SCAQMD has developed sample construction scenarios designed to be used by local lead agencies as models or templates for analyzing construction air quality impacts for projects undergoing an environmental analysis under. The sample construction scenarios have been developed to generically represent a broad range of project types that occur in the district, e.g., commercial, residential, educational, etc.). The sample construction scenario is divided into five non-overlapping phases: demolition, site preparation, grading, building, and architectural coatings and paving. The construction scenarios can be used in their entirety to represent similar construction for similar projects. The construction scenarios are based on actual numbers of construction equipment and activity (hours of operation, area disturbed, dirt and debris handled, etc.) obtained from construction site surveys. The one-acre sample construction scenario which reflects construction of a one-acre site with residential uses resulted in less than significant impacts associated with air quality impacts during construction (SCAQMD 2024). The Proposed Project size is less than one-acre and it can be reasonably assumed that the Proposed Project would result in less than significant air quality impacts.

As discussed above, SCAQMD has determined that residential projects similar in scope and size would not result in significant impacts associated with air quality.

Water Quality: According to the Regional MS4 Permit (Order No. R4-2021-0105), construction sites less than one-acre are required to implement an effective combination of erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs) (e.g. wind erosion controls, perimeter controls, water conservation practices, spill prevention and control) to prevent erosion and sediment loss and the discharge of construction waste. The Project site is small (0.41 acre) and would comply with Article III, Section 34-96 of the City’s Municipal Code which requires owners or developers to implement stormwater pollution control requirements for construction activities. The Proposed Project would connect to the existing water lines and would not have an impact on groundwater supplies. Implementation of BMPs associated with MS4 Permit requirements and adherence to City requirements, the Project’s construction-related activities would not violate any water quality standards or otherwise substantially degrade surface or groundwater quality.

Therefore, no reasonable possibility exists that the Proposed Project would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. (d) Scenic Highways. The Proposed Project isthe construction of a new facility that would not directly or indirectly affect an officially designated scenic highway or scenic resources near a scenic highway. Therefore, this exception does not apply to the Proposed Project. (e) Hazardous Waste Sites. The Proposed Project has not been designated as a hazardous waste site (SWRCB 2024, DTSC 2024). There are no listed hazardous waste sites located immediately adjacent to the Project site (SWRCB 2024, DTSC 2024).
(f) Historical Resources. The Proposed Project includes the construction of 12 residential units. The house currently located within the Project site was initially identified as an eligible historic resource (City 2002); however, after the Survey, the structure has been significantly altered, has lost its integrity and does not qualify as a historical resource anymore. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the Proposed Project is not determined to be a historically significant site. Should human remains be uncovered during Proposed Project activities, as specified by State Health and RES. NO. 8365

RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT 208 PARK AVENUE, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1290 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ Finance Director ☒ Deputy City Manager ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Nick Kimball, City Manager
By: Julio C. Salcedo, Director of Recreation and Community Services

Date: March 17, 2025
Subject: Discussion and Consideration Regarding Hosting an Immigration Event RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Discuss and consider providing direction regarding next steps for hosting an immigration forum or resource fair at a City facility; and
b. Provide staff direction, as appropriate.

BACKGROUND:

1. On October 3, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6750 (Attachment “A”), urging immigration Reform in the National Interest.

2. On July 21, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6924 (Attachment “B”) supporting the immigrant workers freedom ride “On the Road to Citizenship.”

3. On May 1, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7111 (Attachment “C”) opposing the Clear Act and the Sensenbrenner-King Immigration Restriction Bill (H.R.4437) being considered in congress and urging the United States Senate to reject it.

4. On May 17, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7378 (Attachment “D”) opposing Arizona Immigration Law Senate Bill (“SB”) 1070 and request the Federal Government for comprehensive immigration reform.

5. On February 21, 2017, then Police Chief Anthony Vairo provided a presentation to the City Council regarding the Police Department’s roles and responsibilities as it relates to immigration enforcement.

March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 361 of 394
Discussion and Consideration Regarding Hosting an Immigration Event

6. On July 2, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7871 (Attachment “E”) condemning the Trump Administration’s immigration policies; calling on all members of congress on both sides of the aisle to repudiate the Trump administration’s incompetent callous and cruel approach to immigration; and demanding that congress act immediately to enact fair and humane comprehensive immigration reform.

7. On July 1, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8320 (Attachment “F”) affirming support for immigration reform.

8. On December 2, 2024, Councilmember Mary Solorio agendized an item to discuss Sanctuary City policies. Councilmember Solorio tabled the agenda item to a future date uncertain pending a presentation by the San Fernando Police Department regarding local immigration enforcement policies.

9. On January 21, 2025, Councilmember Patty Lopez agendized an item to discuss the City cosponsoring a public forum on immigration enforcement organized by Councilmember Patty Lopez. The City Council deferred the request to be considered as part of the February 3, 2025 City Council meeting discussion to be included with the Police Department's public safety presentation.

10. On February 3, 2025, Police Chief Fabian Valdez provided a presentation to the City Council regarding the Police Department’sroles and responsibilities as it relatesto California’s Senate Bill 54, the “California Values Act”. The City Council directed staff to return to a future meeting with additional information to potentially partner with other organizations, including non-profits and State and Federal elected officials, to host an immigration forum at a city facility.

11. On February 18, 2025, Councilmember Garcia pulled the “Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects” (“Project Priorities”) staff report for discussion. The City Council ask that staff include an update regarding the immigration forum on the recurring Project Priorities agenda item and directed staff to revisit the topic at the next City Council meeting to provide direction to staff on the next steps for hosting a city-sponsored immigration forum. This included hosting the event independently or partnering with organizations to assist in facilitating the forum.

12. On March 3, 2025, the City Council continued this item to the March 17, 2025 City Council meeting.

ANALYSIS:

An immigration event is a public event organized by local governments, community groups, or advocacy organizations to educate residents about immigration laws, policies, and available March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 362 of 394
Discussion and Consideration Regarding Hosting an Immigration Event

services. These events typically connect individuals with resources such as legal aid and social services, address community concerns by offering insights from industry professionals, and facilitate collaboration among various stakeholders. They are especially valuable in diverse communities, helping residents navigate the complexities of the immigration system.

The City of San Fernando has a diverse population, with a significant number of residents having connections to immigration. Immigration has influenced the city's culture, economy, and community dynamics over time. The various resolutions and City Council actions over the years demonstrates a commitment from the City Council to support immigration reform and advocate for the rights of immigrants and highlight the City’s consistent stance on immigration issues and the protection of immigrant communities.

Resource Fair versus Forum
When considering hosting an immigration event, it is important to identify the type of event that the City would like to host. An Immigration Resource Fair is an event where attendees can access various services, information, and direct assistance from multiple organizations, such as legal aid groups, community organizations, and government agencies. It typically features booths, workshops, and one-on-one consultations to help individuals navigate immigration processes. In contrast, an Immigration Forum is more of an informational and discussion-based event, often featuring expert panels, guest speakers, and Q&A sessions focused on policy updates, legal rights, and broader immigration-related topics. While a resource fair provides hands-on support, a forum emphasizes education and dialogue.

Based on the original direction, City staff reached out to the offices of local state and federal elected officialsto offer a location in the City to host an immigration forum or resource fair. Some of the feedback received from those offices included a recommendation to partner with a local non-profit specializing in immigration services to organize the resource fair at a City location.

Those recommendations included contacting the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), Hermandad Mexicana Nacional (HMN), and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who have advocated for, organized, educated and defended immigrants in Los Angeles area for many years. Staff has also made contact with the Consulado General de México en Los Ángeles to inquire about their interest in participating in a resource fair.

Staff was also made aware that there has been some hesitancy by the immigrant population in attending in-person events due to the concern that they may be targeted for immigration enforcement, which should be considered when planning an immigration related forum or resource fair.

Staff is requesting direction from the City Council regarding next steps for hosting an immigration forum or resource fair at a City facility.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

SAN FERNANDO, CALIFORNIA, URGING IMMIGRATION
REFORMS IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST.

WHEREAS, immigrants who have been in the United States for more than a decade have become valuable employees and deeply rooted in their communities who work hard, pay taxes and support their families and many of whom were unjustly denied the chance to apply for permanent residence because of past government mistakes therefore shall be afforded the opportunity to legalize their status permanently by updating the registry date from 1972 to 1986; and
WHEREAS, refugees from Central America and the Carribbean, namely Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Hondurans and Haitians, who fled civil conflict in their home countries and have resided in the United States for many years, who work hard, pay taxes and support their families and who were treated unfairly by the government because of political bias therefore shall be afforded the same opportunity to adjust their status to permanent residence as Congress provided in 1997 to other similarly-situated refugees, namely Cubans and Nicaraguans; and
WHEREAS, individuals already in the United States who qualify for permanent immigrant visas by having a close relative or employer petition on their behalf and who are in the final stages of obtaining their immigrant visas therefore shall be allowed to remain in the country while their visa applications are processed, to continue to work and ensure that their families stay together, by restoring Section 245(i) of the Immigration Act; and,
WHEREAS, provisions including updating the registry date, NACARA parity and restoration of Section 245(i) are common sense approaches to correct past government mistakes that have kept long-established, hardworking immigrant families in bureaucratic limbo, to help sustain our nation's booming economy by stabilizing the status of immigrants already here and already working and to ensure that families are kept together therefore shall be included in legislation that addresses the needs of the hi-tech industry for more temporary high skilled (1-1B) workers to ensure that the concerns of deserving immigrants are resolved this year.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 3rd day of October, 2000.

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, SUPPORTING THE
IMMIGRANT WORKERS FREEDOM RIDE "ON THE
ROAD TO CITIZENSHIP"
WHEREAS, the City of San Fernando:

Has officially embraced the cause of immigrant workers in the United States; and • Actively campaigns for legislative reform to benefit immigrant workers and their families; and
• Expects that legislation to reform immigration law will be a matter of increasing congressional and executive attention; and
• Believes that such legislative reform must include, at a minimum: (1) legalization, including the right of immigrant workers in the United States to live and work in this country and become its citizens, and (2) the right of immigrant workers to unite their families in the United States if they wish; and • Understands that a national mobilization of individuals and organizations from all sectors, including labor, business, political religious, community, immigrant and civil rights and others, is necessary to demonstrate to Congress and the President that there is widespread support in the United States for meaningful legislative reform and for the recognition of the contribution of immigrant workers to the quality of social, cultural, political and economic life in the United States; and Believes that the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride, which will culminate in a mass demonstration in support of immigrant rights and legislative reform in Washington, D.C., and in New York City in Fall of 2003, will be a powerful vehicle for mobilizing that national constituency.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San Fernando does hereby resolve that it supports The Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride "On the road to citizenship".

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN

FERNANDO, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE CLEAR ACT AND THE

SENSENBRENNER-KING IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION BILL
(H.R.4437) BEING CONSIDERED IN CONGRESS, AND URGING THE

UNITED STATES SENATE TO REJECT IT

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, the Clear Act amendments were recently added to the Sensenbrenner-King Immigration Bill (H.R.4437); and
WHEREAS, said amendments, as well as others under consideration, would; • Stiffen criminal sanctions for the act of being undocumented; • Deputize local police forces in border communities to act immigration agents, despite the objections of many police officials;
• Encourage local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws; • Eliminate birthright citizenship for babies born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants; • Eliminate the visa category for brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens; • Place religious groups, employers, and even private citizens at risk of criminal prosecution as "smugglers" if they aid or transport an undocumented immigrant; • Classify all 11 million undocumented immigrants working in the U.S. as "aggravated felons," subjecting them to deportation and imprisonment and depriving them of any access to a hearing prior to deportation;
• Allow the government to prosecute almost any American who has regular contact with the undocumented;
• Disrupt the U.S. economy by creating an overly broad and retroactive employment verification system without creating legal channels for needed workers to work lawfully; • Limit judicial review of executive branch immigration decisions and strip the courts of their role in protecting the individual against excessive governmental power; • Make it more difficult for legal immigrants to become U.S. citizens; and WHEREAS, H.R.4437 by requiring San Fernando police officers to operate as immigration agents, would burden police with enforcement of technical civil immigration statutes, diverting them from priority tasks of public safety: and WHEREAS, by requiring police officers to perform the functions of immigration agents, H.R.4437 would discourage immigrants from coming forward to report crimes and suspicious activity, marking local street less safe; and
WHEREAS, the policy of the San Fernando Police Department is that officers shall not consider ancestry, race, ethnicity, national origin, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender ATTACHMENT "C"
March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 369 of 394
variance, marital status, physical or mental disability, or religion as a sole basis for establishing reasonable suspicion, probable cause, or a basis for requesting consent to search: and WHEREAS, H.R.4437 would represent an unfunded and unsafe mandate imposed on the San Fernando Police Department; and
WHEREAS, H.R.4437, as currently written, is unfairly punitive, and is not reasonably designed to combat terrorism or enhance the security of the United States of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for all of the above-stated reasons, the City Council of the City of San Fernando is strongly opposed to the enactment of H.R.4437, and urges the United States Senate to reject it, or to overhaul it to remove the above-described objectionable provisions.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this resolution shall be affective immediately upon adoption.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

SAN FERNANDO OPPOSING THE CONTROVERSIAL
ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW SB 1070 AND REQUEST TO

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR COMPREHENSIVE

IMMIGRATION REFORM
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1070 (SB 1070) was passed into law in Arizona and signed by Governor Jan Brewer on April 23, 2010; and
WHEREAS, SB 1070 requires the police "when practicable" to detain people they "reasonably suspect" are in the country without authorization; allows the police to charge immigrants with a state crime for not carrying immigration documents; creates a private right of action to sue cities upon belief that the government has a policy or practice that restricts immigration law enforcement; and makes it a crime to stop on a public street to attempt to hire a temporary worker; and

RESOLUTION NO. 7871

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

OF SAN FERNANDO, CALIFORNIA, CONDEMNING THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S IMMIGRATION POLICIES;

CALLING ON ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ON BOTH

SIDES OF THE AISLE TO REPUDIATE THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION'S INCOMPETENT CALLOUS AND
CRUEL APPROACH TO IMMIGRATION; AND

DEMANDING THAT CONGRESS ACT IMMEDIATELY TO

ENACT FAIR AND HUMANE COMPREHENSIVE

IMMIGRATION REFORM
WHEREAS, the Trump Administration has implemented a "zero tolerance" policy under which the Justice Department has attempted to criminally prosecute persons who cross the U.S.- Mexico border, even if many could be legally seeking asylum or refugee status; and WHEREAS, this "zero tolerance" policy dramatically increases the number of vulnerable minors who are in U.S. custody without the protection of their families; and WHEREAS, in practice, this policy has resulted in 1,995 minors who have been cruelly and callously separated from their families between April 19, 2018 and May 31, 2018; and WHEREAS, the purported goal of this policy is to serve as a deterrent to prevent people from crossing the border without documentation; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the "zero tolerance" policy has led to the perverse, despicable and barbaric creation of "tender age" shelters that house migrant infants, toddlers, and young children who are forcibly separated from their parents; and WHEREAS, this policy further escalates the increasing harassment and discrimination of immigrants caused by the Trump's Administration policies, including: 1. Regular public vilification of migrants, people of color, and people from certain countries; 2. Executive Orders authorizing increased raids and deportation of undocumented immigrants; 3. Reduction of the refugee quota; 4. A costly and unnecessary border wall; 5. A travel ban directed at select Muslim majority nations; 6. Threats to retaliate against law enforcement and cities that seek to keep communities safe through cooperation with immigrant communities; 7. Rejecting caravans of migrant asylum seekers from Central and South America; and 8. Targeting 700,000 young adult immigrants brought to the United States as children by rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program; and
WHEREAS, President Trump signed Executive Order I 384 I : Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Separation on June 20, 2018, which declared "the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources," attempts to shift responsibility and accountability for the Administration's actions to Congress by calling for immigration reform, and ATTACHMENT "E"
March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 373 of 394
does not contain a clear commitment or plan to care for children currently in detention and separated from their families nor to reunite the thousands of families torn apart by a draconian policy of "zero tolerance"; and
WHEREAS, this "zero tolerance" policy of punishing innocent children and purposely disrupting families as a deterrent is a human rights abuse that causes unnecessary trauma to children and parents; and
WHEREAS, the number of young children in detention is increasing and these younger children face more risks because of their age; and
WHEREAS, these practices violate core American values; and WHEREAS, the City of San Fernando opposes the unwarranted separation of undocumented children from their parents and the incarceration of unaccompanied minors, unless the child is in danger of abuse or neglect at the hands of the parent or legal guardian, or a danger to himself/herself or others; and
WHEREAS, the Trump Administration along with its shameless apologists and meek enablers are advised to recall the solemn words by Emma Lazarus that have greeted immigrants at the Statute of Liberty for decades:

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, FIND, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The representations set forth in the Recitals above, are true and correct.

SECTION 2: That by the adoption of this Resolution, the City of San Fernando calls on the Trump Administration to take responsibility for the "zero tolerance" policy as it is wholly within the Administration's power to rescind this policy. 2 March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 374 of 394
SECTION 3: That by the adoption of this Resolution, the City of San Fernando urges the U.S. Senate and Congress to come together in a bipartisan support and adopt humane federal immigration legislation that will result in undocumented families not being separated and that does not demonize people on the basis of their race or national origin.

SECTION 4: That the City of San Fernando is committed to protect the safety of all children in our city and those who enter our community.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO,

CALIFORNIA, AFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM
WHEREAS, the City Council of San Fernando recognizes the pressing need for immigration reform in part to address the status of individuals who have resided in our country for over 10, 20, or 35 years since the enactment of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1968; and WHEREAS, despite the passage of more than three decades since the implementation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1968, countless individuals continue to face uncertainties due to shortcomings in the immigration system, hindering their ability to fully contribute to our society and economy; and
WHEREAS, it is evident that our local, state, and federal governments stand to benefit from granting legal status to certain individuals, many of whom have established families, properties, and businesses within our community, thereby enriching our social fabric and economic prosperity; and
WHEREAS, by endorsing this resolution, the City Council of San Fernando expresses support for legislative measures that provide pathways to legal status, including the issuance of work permits and identification cards, which would not only enhance public safety but also foster greater integration and participation within our communities.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, FIND, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. By adoption of this resolution, the City Council of San Fernando hereby affirms its support for comprehensive immigration reform that recognizes the contributions of long-standing residents and promotes their inclusion as valued members of our society.

Request for Report on the Condition and Repair Progress of the Cesar E. Chavez Mural ✔ ✔ ✔
I request a detailed report on the current condition of the Cesar E. Chavez mural, specifically addressing the damage to the plaques—some of which have been stolen and others destroyed.

Include an update on the progress of repairs and any efforts made to address the issues.

Additionally, provide information on the Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the organization responsible for maintaining the mural. As this is a historical landmark and an important part of our community, it is essential that it is preserved in the best possible condition for both residents and visitors.

I recommend that we receive updates on the condition and repair progress of the Cesar E. Chavez mural every six months. Additionally, we should develop a plan to ensure that both the city and the organization responsible for maintenance can make steady progress on the repairs.

This will help ensure that we stay on track and continue making improvements. ✔

Legal Processes for Commissioner Nominations
✔ ✔ ✔
I would like to request clarification on the process for nominating individuals who do not currently reside within the city limits, specifically regarding any exceptions to the residency requirement.

Additionally, I would appreciate an outline of the application process for all individuals interested in being considered for a commissioner position.

Understanding the requirements and procedures will help ensure transparency and encourage a diverse pool of qualified candidates for the commission. I am eager to learn more about how these processes are applied and whether there are any special considerations for non-residents or those with unique qualifications.

Ensuring Transparency and Fairness in the Application of Laws As government representatives, we must be transparent and fair in the way we apply the laws to everyone equally.

Clarification of Mid-Year Budget Review for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and Resolution Approving the Mid-Year Budget
✔ ✔ ✔
During the March 3, 2025 Regular City Council Meeting, information was provided concerning that meeting's Agenda Item No. 4 (Consideration to Receive and File the Mid-Year Budget Review for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; and Adopt a Resolution Approving the Mid-Year Proposed Budget). The City Council then approved and adopted Resolution No. 8368.

By adopting Resolution No. 8368, the City Council approved an additional $340,000 toward the "Labor Attorney - Negotiations & Administrative Investigations" expenditure category of the budget.

During the meeting, the City Council was informed that arbitration costs constituted "a large percent" approximately "20-30%" of the $200,000 allocated toward negotiations, arbitration and legal services. This information was provided verbally and I understand that estimates were used.

However, after receiving additional information from the City, it is my understanding that more than 100% of the estimated $200,000 was actually for arbitration costs (59% of the entire adjustments for the expenditure category). Below is the clarification that I received regarding the City's Mid-Year Budget via email. This is my understanding of the information that I received:
- $202,000: 1 arbitration (less than 5% or $10,100 of this amount may go toward another arbitration) - $12,100: Meet and confer issues
- $28,100: Part-time bargaining unit meetings
This is an item to clarify the public record of the March 3, 2025 Regular City Council Meeting. I have been informed that the information provided in the Agenda Packet for that meeting is accurate. I also want to reiterate that the information being clarified was initially provided verbally and consisted of estimates, likely to their best recollection, at the time. ✔

Length of City Council Meetings
  
In recent months, City Council meetings have gone very long, from four (4) to six (6) hours, sometimes lasting past midnight (12 a.m.). Public comment during public hearings is sometimes not heard until 11 p.m. and many members of the public wait for hours until late in the night to hear an agenda item. Some of these residents are senior citizens. Some of these residents have families at home that they must care for. I am also aware that some community members are not able to watch the entirety of the meetings because they last so long. Many members of our staff must also stay working late at night to be present at the meetings.

I am hopeful that the City Council can conduct our regular meetings and address all business items in a reasonable amount of time. I believe this would make City Council business and the City Council itself more accessible to our community.

Other City Councils have certain procedures to ensure the efficient conducting of business. One idea is that unanimous support is needed to continue a meeting past 10 p.m. Another idea is that our staff can truncate their presentations, if the City Council will commit to reviewing the Agenda Packet, as most of the information is found there.

Discussion regarding conducting City Council meetings that do not last for inordinate amounts of time.
