Certificate of Recognition
Whereas, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center has declared April as “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” and Peace Over Violence has declared April 23, 2025 as “Denim Day” in Los Angeles County; Whereas, both campaigns are intended to draw attention to the fact that sexual violence remains a serious issue in our society and harmful attitudes about all forms of sexual violence allow these issues to persist and allow victim/survivors to be re-victimized; Whereas, sexual harassment is part of a continuum of violence whose damaging effects are felt throughout our culture;
Whereas, “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” and “Denim Day” were also instituted to call attention to misconceptions and misinformation about sexual violence, and the problem that many in society remain disturbingly uninformed with respect to issues of sexual harassment, assault, abuse, and rape; Whereas, rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment harm our community and statistics show that over 53% of women and over 29% of men reported experiencing contact sexual violence in their lifetime; most women and men across all sexual identities who experienced contact sexual violence reported that the person who harmed them was someone they knew; 29% non-Hispanic Black women in the United States were raped in their lifetime; 34% Hispanic women reported unwanted sexual contact in their lifetime; 84% American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime; 32% of adults with intellectual disabilities have experienced sexual violence; and 47% of all transgender people have been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives; Whereas with proper education on the matter and comprehensive prevention projects, sexual violence and it’s unfair and traumatizing effects are preventable.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE SAN FERNANDO CITY
COUNCIL DOES HEREBY PROCLAIM APRIL 2025
as “SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH” and designates April 23, 2025 as “DENIM DAY” in the City of San Fernando, and urges all citizens to wear jeans on April 23, 2025 to help communicate the message that there is no excuse and never an invitation to harass, abuse, assault, or rape.

Mayor Martinez opened public comments. There being none, public comments were closed. Mayor Martinez closed the public hearing.

Councilmembers discussed the possibility of requiring professional qualifications to serve on the Historical Commission in order to ensure expertise in preservation, regulatory compliance, and technical decision-making.

It was noted that a perceived conflict of interest may arise if requiring professional qualifications benefits individuals with financial or professional ties to projects reviewed by the commission.

Motion by Mayor Martinez, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ruelas to direct staff to further research any potential of a conflict of interest in requiring Historical Commissioners to have professional qualifications to serve on the Commission and return to a future Council meeting. The motion carried, unanimously.

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: April 7, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Warrant Register RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-041 (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.

Its primary purpose is to identify and implement measures that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, adapt to changing environmental conditions, and enhance preparedness for climate-related challenges. The CARP promotes sustainable practices like renewable energy adoption, green infrastructure development, and carbon footprint reduction initiatives, while fostering collaboration among stakeholders and supporting innovation in green energy. A grant from the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (now Governor’s Office for Land Use and Climate Innovation) was received to complete the CARP and for updating the City’s General Plan, specifically the Circulation (transition to Mobility) and Open Space/Conservation/Park-Recreation elements.

Status:
• CARP Phase 1: Completed and presented to City Council in February 2024 with data collection, a GHG Emissions Inventory, and a Vulnerability Assessment. • CARP Phase 2: Ongoing, focusing on identifying strategies and actions to mitigate climate change through GHG emission reductions in the most cost-effective manner and include strategies for climate adaptation and resilience. Extensive community engagement, led by Pacoima Beautiful, Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (FTBMI), and Climate Resolve, is a key component.
• Grant: On April 2, 2024, the City Council accepted the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research Grant and appropriated the funds. The City Council also approved a professional services agreement with Rincon Consultants Inc. to complete the CARP and General Plan updates.

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.

On March 19, 2025, staff and consultant team conducted a City tour to look at sites of recent development, sites where there are approved developments, and sites of proposed developments. The team also toured sites of potentially historic homes. The purpose of the tour was to familiarize the consulting team with pattern of development, lot configurations, existing neighborhood and historic architectural styles. This will provide background information in developing residential objective design standards and provide some context for the update to the historic survey.

Title: Repair of Public Parking Lots
Description: The Repair of Public Parking Lots Project involves a pavement treatment to create a more acceptable travel surface to the road at a significant reduction in price. A total of seven (7) parking lots will experience some type of asphalt repair. The project also involves crack sealing, asphalt repairs and restriping of parking stalls. Upon further evaluation of the lots, it was determined that four (4) lots will undergo an overlay while other parking lots will have asphalt repairs performed in areas that are experiencing base failures. Parking Lots 8 and 9 will also receive a seal coating.

The lots that form part of the project include:
• Parking Lot 6N
• Parking Lot 7
• Parking Lot 8
• Parking Lot 9
• Parking Lot 10
• City Hall Parking Lot
• San Fernando Police Department Parking Lot
Parking Lots 1, 11, and 12 were completed as part of previous projects. Parking Lot 2 is a concrete parking structure therefore this type of treatment does not apply. Parking Lot 4 and Lot 5 will be part of the upcoming Calles Verdes Project and Trash Enclosure Project, respectively.

Status: Work began in February 2025. Work is scheduled to be completed in April, weather permitting.

Next City Council Action: Acceptance of the project is tentatively scheduled for June 2025.

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) April 7, 2025 CC Special & Regular Mtg Page 136 of 651

Page 27 of 36 ends

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 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.

Title: IPS Smart Meter Installation
Description: Replacement of coin operated meters in the San Fernando Mall and Civic Center with Smart meters that accept both coin and card payment. Phase One will include the replacement of 91 coin meters.

Status: On October 7, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to IPS Group Inc. to replace coinoperated parking meters in the San Fernando Mall and Civic Center areas. In total, 91 smart meters will be deployed. The project will replace 72 coin meters in the San Fernando Mall between Brand Boulevard and Kalisher Street, with the remaining 19 smart meters installed around the Civic Center along Newton Street and Fourth Street.

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.

Title: Implementation of California Daylighting Law
Description: “Daylighting” refers to the practice of improving visibility at intersections by removing obstructions (like parked vehicles) near crosswalks and corners. In California, daylighting laws (such as those implemented under Assembly Bill (AB) 413, signed in 2023) require that motor vehicles must not park within 20 feet of a crosswalk or intersection to enhance pedestrian safety and visibility. The goal is to prevent cars from blocking the view of pedestrians and oncoming traffic, thereby reducing collisions, especially those involving pedestrians and cyclists.

Status:

Project Goals (Daylighting Implementation for Parking Management) • Improve pedestrian and traffic safety at intersections citywide.

Title: Mixed Use and Specific Plan Overlay Districts
Description: The City’s Housing Element includes applying a mixed-use overlay to 112 parcels that are currently zoned C-1 and C-2. It also includes expanding some of the overlays to specific parcels in the SP-5 zone. This is aimed at increasing the City’s housing capacity to meet our Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) obligation of 1,795, but will also create flexibility for existing properties to allow either 100 percent residential or residential mixed with commercial uses.

The State requires any rezoning that is necessary to meet a city’s RHNA obligation to be completed by October 2024. While this work was to be funded by the SCAG 2.0 grant, because of the State deadline and the uncertainty of the funding staff moved forward with procuring a consultant to begin the work.

Status: Community Engagement efforts leading up to the public hearing included updated project description on the City’s website: https://ci.san-fernando.ca.us/communitydevelopment/#planning; a survey to obtain opinions regarding mixed use development design; two virtual workshops for property owners to explain the details and benefits of the overlays; a stakeholder meeting; and a Planning and Preservation Commission workshop on September 9, 2024.

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. In addition, the Commission adopted a resolution recommending the City Council amend the Corridors Specific Plan Land Use Map to add the Downtown and Flex Use Overlays to certain properties.
