Certificate of Recognition
CÉSAR CHÁVEZ DAY
March 31, 2025
WHEREAS, throughout his life of work and service, César Chávez empowered thousands to stand together for their rights and led our nation toward a more equitable and just society. His visionary leadership inspired a powerful movement that burns brightly to this day, rallying people from all walks of life to champion the dignity of work; WHEREAS, born near Yuma, Arizona in 1927, Chávez and his family moved to California after losing their home during the Great Depression. Tolling in the fields from a young age, Chávez faced dismal working conditions, racism, abuse, and exploitation.

Moved to confront these injustices, he began working as an organizer in the farmworker community, advocating for improvements in their working and living conditions; WHEREAS, founding the United Farm Workers together with Dolores Huerta, Chávez challenged Americans to recognize that produce on their dinner tables was picked by people who were being denied the most basic human rights. Chávez led a historic march of farmworkers from Delano to Sacramento in 1966 and helped launch a successful boycott of grapes that galvanized support across the country. His tireless efforts were instrumental in the passage of the 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act, which made our state the first in United States history to give farmworkers the right to join a union;
WHEREAS, on the anniversary of his birth, we celebrate César Chávez’s hard-won strides for social justice, and reflect on the work that lies ahead to build a brighter future for all our communities.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE SAN FERNANDO CITY
COUNCIL DOES HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 31, 2025
as CÉSAR CHÁVEZ DAY in the City of San Fernando, and
encourages people in San Fernando to carry on his timeless legacy by lifting up our neighbors, speaking out against injustice, and working together to extend the dream of
prosperity, equity and progress to all.

AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1200 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ Finance Director ☒ Deputy City Manager ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Nick Kimball, City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services

Date: March 17, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Warrant Register RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-032 (Attachment “A”) approving the Warrant Register.

BACKGROUND:

For each City Council meeting the Finance Department prepares a Warrant Register for Council approval. The Register includes all recommended payments for the City. Checks, other than special checks, generally are not released until after the Council approves the Register. The exceptions are for early releases to avoid penalties and interest, excessive delays and in all other circumstances favorable to the City to do so. Special checks are those payments required to be issued between Council meetings such as insurance premiums and tax deposits. 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 Administrative Services 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 Administrative Services hereby certifies that each warrant has been reviewed for completeness and that sufficient funds are available for payment of the warrant register.

Status: While this work was to be funded by the SCAG 2.0 grant, because of the uncertainty of the funding and the compliance concern, staff moved forward with procuring a consultant to begin the work. The project has been kicked off and an outline of the zoning code is underway.

The zoning code updates pertaining to landscape standards and outdoor dining on private property will be incorporated into this update.

On January 27, 2025, a public hearing was held before the Planning and Preservation Commission to consider repealing and replacing Chapter 106 (Zoning) of the San Fernando Municipal Code.

The Commission voted 4-0 to approve Resolution No. 2025-01, recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance repealing and replacing Chapter 106 (Zoning) of the San Fernando Municipal Code.

On March 3, 2025, City Council continued the public hearing to April 7, 2025.

Title: SCAG REAP 2.0 Grant
Description: The City was awarded $791,818 under the SCAG REAP 2.0 Housing Infill on Public and Private Lands (HIPP) Program and $333,182 under the Subregional Program (SRP) for a total of $1,125,000. On January 25, 2024, the City was notified of the Governor’s 2024-2025 State Budget proposal that included budget cuts including a reversion of the SCAG’s REAP 2.0 programs. Fortunately, on July 29, 2024, the City was notified the REAP 2.0 program was able to resume and the City would receive its full award. SCAG immediately began working with the City to refine the scope of work (SOW), budget, and schedule.

The City’s final SOW consists of five sub-projects that were identified as programs in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element. In summary they are:
• Develop strategies for preventing displacement and maintaining affordable housing for disadvantaged community members and establishing supportive programs for tenants and homeowners to prevent displacement and affirmatively further fair housing. This will be in the form a Community Stabilization Manual.
• Update the 2002 Historic Survey to identify eligible historic resources throughout the City to promote conversion or preservation of historic commercial buildings into housing while also promoting improvement or expansion of residential buildings to maintain quality of existing housing, neighborhoods, and health of residents, and to address overcrowding.
• Update the City’s density bonus ordinance to comply with state housing law and to establish a local density bonus ordinance with incentives encouraging affordable housing.

• Complete a comprehensive update to the Zoning Code and Corridors Specific Plan 5 (SP-5) to allow residential land use in currently restricted areas, increase development capacity for housing on underutilized or vacant infill sites, streamline the review process and comply with the latest state housing laws.
• Review and update the City’s development process for housing developments to ensure potential barriers that may hinder housing construction are removed and a smoother and more efficient approval process for housing projects.

Status: On October 21, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution accepting the Southern California Associations of Governments’ Regional Early Action Program 2.0 Grant and authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding to implement the grant program. SCAG will no longer be able to procure a consultant on behalf of the City. The City will procure the consultant. A Call for Service was issued out on November 7, 2024, to the pre-approved on-call list of consultants. The goal would be to begin work in January, 2025 as the deadline for funds to be expended has been extended to June 30, 2026.

On November 7, 2024, a call for professional service was issued to the planning consultants on the City’s on-call as needed. The proposals were due on December 5, 2024. Two (2) proposals were received. Staff reviewed proposals and interviews were conducted on January 16, 2025, with each of the firms. City Council approved a professional services agreement with Rincon Consultants at the March 3, 2025 Regular City Council meeting. A kick off meeting was held on Friday, March 7, 2025.

Title: Landscape Ordinance
Description: The City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. U-1725 on March 18, 2024. It is effective for a period of one year from date of adoption. The Urgency Ordinance enacted a temporary moratorium on the installation of artificial turf and synthetic grass pending the study and development of reasonable regulations. Therefore, the Planning Division is working with a consultant to update the existing Municipal Code with comprehensive city-wide landscape standards including permanently prohibiting the installation of synthetic grass and artificial turf.

Status: On August 12, 2024, the Planning and Preservation Commission discussed potential regulations. Commissioners requested additional information, recommendations and visual illustrations of potential regulations. A second discussion was held on September 9, 2024. The proposed ordinance has been drafted, including illustrations demonstrating the difference between current and proposed regulations. This has been posted to the City’s website to solicit public comments and inform the public prior to the hearing at the Planning and Preservation Commission.

Status: The Department has initiated the purchase of heavy equipment for maintenance work and is in the process of evaluating its current fleet of vehicles and heavy equipment. Staff is in the process of Identify the need, clearly define the requirements for the heavy equipment based on the specific maintenance tasks, to ensure that the proper piece of equipment is procured that meets the needs of the department. This involves understanding the type, size, and specifications of the equipment required. Staff is currently working with PD to right size the City’s fleet of public safety vehicles for short and long term planning.

This identification of the need will be followed by staff conducting a needs assessment which will evaluate the current vehicle and equipment inventory and determine if there are gaps that the new purchase will fill. This assessment will consider the equipment’s usage frequency, the scale of maintenance work, and potential future needs among other factors.

Title: Residential Water Service Shut Off Policy
Description: On July 15, 2024, the City Council approved the Discontinuation of Residential Water Services for Non-Payment Policy as required by Senate Bill 998 (SB 998) and Senate Bill 3 (SB 3) which will take effect January 1, 2025. On March 11, 2025 staff began to deliver 7-day shut off notices to delinquent accounts exceeding 90 day due dates. In an effort to help the customers get familiar with the new process, staff will not shut off water to impacted consumers until April 7, 2025. This will give customers ample time to come to City hall to sign up for payment arrangements plans and or clear their balances. City Council also moved to direct staff to return at a future meeting with guidance and recommendations regarding the City’s ability to collect delinquent sums on the tax roll similar to the manner in which delinquent trash sums are also collected.

Status: Staff has conferred with the City Attorney to research this item to analyze a) if assessments are allowable for residential water services due to non-payment and b) the pros/cons of this process versus a water shut-off process. Preliminarily, we were advised as follows:
1) Charges for water consumption are property related fees and charges within the meaning of Proposition 218 (codified under Article XIIID of the California Constitution); 2) As such, an ordinance or resolution establishing or increasing water rate charges requires the conduct of a so-called “majority protest” public hearing which requires the issuance of a written notice to water customers no less than 45 days from the date of the hearing; and
3) In order to preserve the ability to collect delinquent water charges on the tax roll, the City, as part of the majority protest approval process, must send notice to the owners of real property parcels that receive water service, even if the property owner is not the water customer (e.g., where the water customer is a tenant and not the owner affect parcel). (See Govt. Code Section 53755(a)(3) and Health & Safety Code Sections 5471, 5473 and 5473a). If the City did not provide such notice when it last conducted a majority protest hearing setting its current water rates, it would require the initiation of a new March 17, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 133 of 394

Page 28 of 35 ends

majority protest process in which such notice was provided to property owners (not just customers) for the City to avail itself of the right to collect delinquent charges on the tax roll.

Staff is continuing to work with the City Attorney and additionally in process of surveying other municipal operations to illustrate use of assessments versus water shut-off process for residential water services due to non-payment.

Next City Council Action: At the January 6, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to move forward as previously directed by City Council regarding the water service shutoff policy and to provide an update on outstanding delinquencies during consideration of the Water and Sewer Fee Study and the Prop 218 process, to occur within approximately one (1) year.

Tentative Completion Date: Follow up to be provided in concert with the Water and Sewer Fee Study and Prop 218 Process, anticipated to occur by January 2026 or sooner. On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved a contract with Robert D Niehaus, Inc. for the Water and Sewer Rate Study.

Page 29 of 35 ends

Smart meter installation is scheduled for the week of March 17, 2025, with the exact date and time to be confirmed by IPS technicians. Notices were distributed to affected businesses in the San Fernando Mall during the week of March 3, 2025, and "No Parking" signs will be posted on impacted meters 72 hours in advance.

Responsibility for parking meter maintenance is transitioning from the Water Department to the Police Department's Parking Enforcement Division. Water personnel have been training Parking Enforcement officers in basic meter troubleshooting, while Public Works coordinated additional training with IPS technicians on the company’s data management and enforcement software.

Additionally, approximately 40 parking meters citywide were identified as noncompliant with California’s AB413, also known as the Day Lighting Law, which prohibits parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked. A Day Lighting Task Force consisting of Public Works and Police Department personnel is leading the law’s implementation. This includes removing noncompliant meters, grinding down parking stalls, conducting public education, and enforcing parking regulations.

A public hearing was scheduled before the Planning and Preservation Commission on October 14, 2024. The Commission voted to recommend the City Council not adopt an ordinance amending the Zoning Code to establish a mixed use overlay and amend the City’s zoning map.
