MENDATION
Proclaim May 2022 as "Older Americans Month" in the City of Santa Fe Springs --------------------------
8 ACK GROUND
Every year since 1963, May has been the month to appreciate and celebrate the vitality and aspirations of older adults and their contributions and achievements. It is a proud tradition that shows our nation's commitment to honor the value that elders continue to contribute to their communities.

This year's Older Americans Month theme "Age My Way" is an opportunity for all of us to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved with their communities. It focuses on aging in place - how older adults can plan to stay in their homes and live independently in their communities for as long as possible.

This May, communities across the nation will recognize older Americans as productive, active, and influential members of society. Communities that encourage the contributions of older adults are stronger! By engaging and supporting all community members, we recognize that older adults play a key role in the vitality of our neighborhoods, networks, and lives.

While Santa Fe Springs provides services, support, and resources to older adults yearround, Older Americans Month is a great opportunity to show special appreciation. We will continue to provide opportunities for older adults to come together and share their experiences with one another, as well as with individuals of other generations.

The Mayor may wish to call on Ed Ramirez, Family and Human Services Manager, to assist with the proclamation.

RECOMMENDATION
• Proclaim May 25, 2022 as "National Senior Health & Fitness Day" in the City of Santa Fe Springs

BACKGROUND
National Senior Health & Fitness Day is the nation's largest annual health promotion event for older adults; it serves as the culmination to Older Americans Month, which we also celebrate. Now in its 29th year, National Senior Health & Fitness Day is observed annually the last Wednesday of May. This year, on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, the Gus Velasco Neighborhood Center's Older Adult Services Program will be joining more than 1,000 municipalities and organizations nationwide to celebrate National Senior Health & Fitness Day. The common goal throughout our country is to keep our older Americans healthy and fit year round.

On National Senior Health & Fitness Day, more than 1,000 locations including hospitals, parks and recreation and senior centers, health clubs, retirement communities, health departments, and other community locations will offer fitness activities for 100,000+ older adults. Programs will range from small group exercise demonstrations in community senior centers, to walking tours and health fairs. Most programs include an exercise or physical activity component, as well as information about senior topics.

On this day, older adults at the Gus Velasco Neighborhood Center will be able to participate in various health and fitness-related activities, including stretching exercises, chair aerobics, Latin Dance Cardio, healthy snacks, and other healthy food alternatives. Additionally, there will be various agencies in attendance providing health literature, screenings, and one-on-one support for fitness questions. Our goal is to encourage our older adults to continue to move towards better health and well-being.

The Mayor may wish to call upon Jose Carrillo, Community Services Supervisor, to assist with the Proclamation. �

Monthly Report on the Status of Debt Instruments Issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA)

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND
The Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA) is a City entity that has periodically issued debt for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community. The following is a brief status report on the debt instruments currently outstanding that were issued through the PFA.

Consolidated Redevelopment Project 2006-A Tax Allocation Bonds Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 4/30/2022 Outstanding principal at 4/30/2022

$39,761,479
The former Community Development Commission (CDC) issued a number of tax allocation bonds before it was dissolved by State law effective February 1, 2012 which are administered by the City acting as Successor Agency under the oversight of the appointed Oversight Board. The Successor Agency no longer receives tax increment. Instead, distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) are received based on approved obligations. It is anticipated that sufficient allocations from the RPTTF will continue to be made to the Successor Agency to meet ongoing debt service obligations.

Unspent Bond Proceeds
Under an approved Bond Expenditure Agreement, unspent bond proceeds of the form8r CDC in the amount of approximately $19 million were transferred to the City in July 2014.

The funds are to be spent in accordance with the original bond documents. The unspent proceeds continue to be a source of funding within the City's capital improvement program (GIP).
2016 Bond Refunding
In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued its 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off several bond issuances of the former CDC. The bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority and included the 2001 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2003 Series A, the current interest portion of the 2006 Series A, and 2006 Series B bond issuances.

. ___________________ _.

BACKGROUND
This report is for informational purposes only. The following is a listing of current active water projects.

Water Well No. 2 Assessment Status Update
Constructed in 1963, Water Well No. 2 has been inactive since 2006 due to a change in water quality requirements from the State Water Board. On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved awarding the contract to General Pump Company Inc. to assess Water Well No. 2. The contractor completed the initial assessment and has submitted to the City their final report, which confirmed only one contaminant, and provided two scenarios for treatment, the report recommended assessing the well's structural condition, which includes an additional, more detailed video log and a Casing Inspection Thickness Measurement (CITM) survey. With the additional work completed and a draft report submitted to the City, Water Well No. 2 is structurally and hydrologically still in good condition. Staff is currently investigating cost-effective treatment options that will remove the one verified contaminant and get Water Well No. 2 operational once again to produce safe drinking water while reducing the City's reliance on imported water.

Water Storage Tank Inspection
The City has two drinking water storage tanks, which were last inspected in 2016.

Industry standards suggest water storage tanks be inspected every five years to help ensure a long service life. Staff awarded the project to an experienced firm, DIVE/CORR, INC., inspections were completed on May 2, 2022. A final report with findings and recommendations will be submitted to the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
A totalof $167,000 has been budgeted for Water Well No. 2 assessment. There are sufficient funds available in the Water Utility Division Operation & Maintenance Budget to cover the cost for the inspection of the City's two water storage tanks.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT
A comprehensive assessment of Water Well No. 2 has provided City staff the information needed to determine that the water well can be rehabilitated and minimal treatment is necessary to meet all drinking water standards. This project has the very likely potential to allow the City to deliver high-quality groundwater and reduce the City's dependence on costly imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

BACKGROUND
On May 28, 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1065, which prevents the waste and unreasonable use of water, and promotes water conservation. The ordinance included several prohibitions and measures to achieve the necessary reduction in water consumption due to drought conditions at the time.

On July 20, 2021, the City Council adopted a 2020-2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) update, which serves as a planning device for the City's Water Utility Authority. Included with the UWMP is a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP),. used to determine appropriate response actions in response to drought conditions based on the severity of the drought and water supply conditions.

On January 4, 2022, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted emergency regulations to prevent wasteful water use and promote urban water conservation in response to the current drought emergency. On January 18, 2022, the emergency regulations became effective and will remain in effect for one year from the effective date unless the State Water Board acts to end, modify, or readopt it. All California water agencies are expected to enforce the regulations and implement their Water Shortage Contingency Plans and other local ordinances to respond to the current drought declaration.

RECOMMENDATION
• Adopt Resolution No. 9790:
-----'�

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA FE

SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, REAFFIRMING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO THE THREAT OF COVID-19

BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2020, the Governor of California issued a proclamation declaring a state of emergency due to the threat of COVID-19. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States issued a proclamation of national emergency, beginning March 1, 2020, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. On March 17, 2020, the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, issued a proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency beginning March 12, 2020, due to the threat of COVID-19. On March 18, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9668 ratifying the proclamation, and on April 9, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9669 relating to taking action in response to the local emergency. The City Council has continued to reaffirm the existence of a local emergency due to the threat of COVID-19.

Government Code section 8630(c) provides that the City Council shall review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency. The state of emergency still exists and has not been lifted at the statewide or county level. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a revised health order on April 21, 2022, which states that the County is currently experiencing increases in COVID-19 cases and test positivity rates, and that related hospitalizations are no longer in decline. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicators and thresholds measuring community transmission of COVID-19 within the County have increased to and continue to be at a Substantial level. The health order also states that the highly transmissible Omicron BA.2 subvariant is currently the dominant variant in the County.

The reasons for declaring a local emergency still exist, and therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution affirming the existence of a local emergency in accordance with Government Code section 8630(c).

A Resolution of the City Council Affirming Authorization of Remote Teleconference Meetings

RECOMMENDATION
• Adopt Resolution No. 9791:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA FE

SPRINGS AFFIRMING THE LEGALLY REQUIRED FINDINGS TO

AUTHORIZE THE CONDUCT OF REMOTE TELECONFERENCE

MEETINGS DURING A STATE OF EMERGENCY

BACKGROUND
At its regular meeting of December 7, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9747 authorizing the City Council and all legislative bodies and committees of the City to meet by teleconference. In order to continue holding teleconference meetings pursuant to this new law, an agency is required, at least every 30 days, to make the following findings by majority vote:
(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency.
(B) Any of the following circumstances exist:
(i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person.
(ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.

On March 4, 2020, the Governor issued a proclamation declaring a state of emergency due to the threat of COVID-19. The California Department of Public Health and the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health have issued public health orders during this state of emergency for the purpose of reducing transmission of COVID-19. Such orders have included social distancing requirements. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person due to a number of factors, including the high number of daily cases and community transmission and increased transmission of COVID-19 by the Delta variant. The Department of Public Health has stated that the Delta variant is two times as contagious as earlier variants, remains predominant in Los Angeles County, and continues to lead to increased infections.

Accordingly, staff has prepared the attached resolution to continue to authorize remote teleconference meetings and will include on all future meeting agendas such a resolution until such time as the state of emergency ceases, or as otherwise directed by the City Council.

Resolution Nos. 9787 and 9788 -Approval of Engineer's Report (Fiscal Year 2022/23) in Conjunction with Annual Levy of Assessments for Street Lighting District No. 1

RECOMMENDATION
• Adopt Resolution No. 9787, approving the Engineer's Report (Fiscal Year 2022/23) in conjunction with the annual levy of assessments for Street Lighting District No. 1; and
• Adopt Resolution No. 9788, declaring the City of Santa Fe Springs' intention to provide for an annual levy and collection of assessments for Lighting District No. 1, and setting the public hearing for the Council meeting of June 21, 2022.

BACKGROUND
Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 (District) was formed May 26, 1982, under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. A map of the District is shown on Page 16 of the Engineer's Report. The District does not include any residential properties or any properties with a residential land code. A map of the boundaries of the District is attached (See Exhibit C).

After the initial formation of the district, it is necessary for the City to annually update the Lighting District. This allows the City to continue levying annual assessments against the properties located within the Lighting District. The required documents to satisfy the legal requirements are outlined in Chapter 3 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as contained in the Streets and Highways Code.

The annual assessment rate for the District has not been increased since the fiscal year 1992/1993, although the costs of providing the improvements that benefit the properties within the District continue to rise. In 2004, the City conducted an election to try to increase the annual assessment rate. However, a majority protest existed and the proposed assessment increase was not imposed.

The Council, at their meeting of March 1, 2022, approved Resolution No. 9764 ordering the preparation of plans, specifications, cost estimate, diagram, assessment, and report according to the provisions of Division 15, Part 2 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.

A copy of the Annual Engineer's Report for the City of Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 is attached for your review and approval. The Engineer's Report satisfies the legal requirements described previously. In summary, the Engineer's Report addresses compliance with the state law describes the method of apportionment, and presents a proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2022/23.

PUBLIC HEARING
Resolution No. 9789: Solid Waste Service Rate Increases

RECOMMENDATIONS
ITEM NO.13
Ma 17 2022
• Open the Public Hearing, receive the staff report and consider any comments from the public regarding the proposed solid waste service rate increases; and • Find that this action is statutorily exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines section 15273(a)(1 ); and
• Close the public hearing and direct the City Clerk to tabulate the written protests and report the results of the tabulation to the City Council in compliance with Proposition 218; and
• Adopt Resolution No. 9789, authorizing the solid waste service rate increases, after concluding the City did not receive a majority protest.

BACKGROUND:

The City contracts for solid waste services through the use of exclusive Franchise Agreements. All properties within the City are required to subscribe to the solid waste services set forth in the Franchise Agreement. Under the Franchise Agreement, the Franchisees (i.e., CR&R Waste and Recycling, Republic Services and Serv-Wel Disposal Company) are responsible for all aspects of solid waste services within the City. As part of the Franchise Agreement, rates, which are negotiated between the City and Franchisees, are established and the Franchisees charge customers (i.e. residential, multi-family, commercial, and industrial) the agreed-upon rates to provide the solid waste services. Solid waste rates are determined based upon the type of service provided, the size and type of container, and the frequency of collection.

Proposed Two-Year Rate Increases
The City's three (3) authorized franchised waste haulers, CR&R Waste and Recycling, Republic Services and Serv-Wel Disposal Company, have requested rate increases on certain solid waste service rates to account for their additional costs to comply with new California laws, including SB 1383, mandating recycling of organic waste, which took effect as of January 1, 2022. The amount of the proposed rate increases has been calculated based on inflation and the costs associated with adding new mandatory programs. Due to increasing State and Federal regulatory requirements, this has caused the cost of operating to steadily rise
Proposed 2-Year Rate Adjustment
The City's solid waste franchise agreements provide for annual rate increases for Residential collection, with the first-year increase effective on July 1, 2022, and the second increase effective July 1, 2023. Commercial/Industrial rate increases will be effective July 1, 2022, with the second rate increase effective January 1, 2023.

Request for Out-of-State Travel for an Instructor Lifeguard II, to attend a Water Safety Instructor-Instructor Trainer Course, in Louisville, Kentucky in June 2022

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve out-of-state travel for the Instructor Lifeguard II to attend a Water Safety Instructor-Instructor Trainer (WSI-IT) Course in Louisville, Kentucky ------
held on June 20, 2022 through June 24, 2022
8 ACK GROUND
At the City Council meeting held on April 19, 2022, staff presented on a request for Out-of-State Travel for an Instructor Lifeguard II to attend a Water Safety InstructorInstructor Trainer Course, in Louisville, Kentucky in June 2022. City Council directed staff to bring this item to a future City Council meeting following the Aquatic Center Study Session.

As previously presented, the WSIT certification is good for two (2) years, and can be updated every two (2) years by teaching a WSI course within the timeframe. The prerequisites for this course are immense and the trainings are not offered frequently.

One of the requirements to be eligible to take this course is that the candidate must have three (3) years of teaching experience with at least one (1) American Red Cross courses per year and a minimum of eighteen (18) American Red Cross courses over the last three (3) years, having taught since March 2019. Given that the Aquatic Center will be closed for the foreseeable future, it is likely that the candidate that is being recommended to attend this training, will not meet the requirements after 2022.

If this candidate is no longer eligible, it is likely the candidate will have to wait three years after the pool re-opens to once again be eligible for the WSIT certification. This may present a barrier to hiring qualified lifeguards when the pool re-opens to the public.

As a follow up to the City Council meeting held on April 19, 2022, staff was directed to seek confirmation from surrounding agency pools to confirm that the City could partner with the agency to offer WSI courses. Staff confirmed with the City of Whittier to partner to offer WSI courses. Additionally, staff was asked to follow up on the local high schools' pools. Staff confirmed that the Santa Fe High School pool has a longterm plan for renovations, but no construction is planned in the foreseeable future. As such, staff confirmed that Santa Fe High School would also be available to offer WSI courses.

Heritage Park Train Exhibit Improvements (Paint and Refurbish Boxcar} - Approval of Contract Change Order No. 1

RECOMMENDATION
• Appropriate additional $28,000 from the Art in Public Places Fund to the Heritage Park Train Exhibit Improvements (PW 200101);
• Approve Contract Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $52,000; and • Authorize the Mayor to execute Contract Change Order -No. 1.

BACKGROUND
During the demolition process of the wood tongue and groove on the interior of the Boxcar, it was uncovered that the existing wood for both the interior and exterior had visible damage, deterioration, and wood rot. Due to the extensive damage throughout, all of the damaged wood must be replaced with new. It will not be feasible to replace the damaged portions only, as the entire boxcar is compromised. Therefor�, reconstruction of the Boxcar is the only feasible option. The total compensation for demolition, removal and reconstruction of wood on the interior and exterior of the Boxcar will be paid at a lump sum price of $52,000. For the boxcar to be structurally stable and for it to serve as a canvas for artwork, staff recommends demolishing, removing, and reconstructing the existing wood structure of the Boxcar, not including the existing wood floor.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed the proposed Contract Change Order No. 1.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Heritage Park Train Exhibit Improvements project will require an additional appropriation of $28,000 from the Art in Public Places Fund to the Heritage Park Train Exhibit Improvements Project account number (PW200101 ). There is available funding in the project contingency to cover the remaining cost of Contract Change Order No.

1. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT
The Heritage Park Train Exhibit Improvements projects will improve the structural condition of the Boxcar. In addition, the Heritage Park Train Exhibit Improvements project will improve the aesthetic look of the Boxcar at Heritage Park.

2021 General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report City of Santa Fe Springs General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Find and determine that the Annual Progress Report is exempt from The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3).

The 2021 Annual Report was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the report may have a significant effect on the environment. The report does not authorize construction and any future development proposed pursuant to the programs in the City's Housing Element will require separate environmental analysis when details of those proposals are known.
• Authorize staff to forward the 2021 General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR).

BACKGROUND
At the Adjourned Planning Commission meeting of May 16, 2022, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council authorize staff to forward the 2021 General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The purpose of this item is for the City Council to consider the status of the General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HEAPR) for 2021, and the progress of its implementation, which needs to be reported to the California Department of Housing Community Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). Government Code Section 65400 establishes the requirement that each city and county prepare an annual report on the status of the Housing Element, and the actions taken towards completion of the programs, and the status of the local government's compliance with the deadlines in its Housing Element.

On February 8, 2022, the City Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 9760, to certify the Final Environmental Impact Report, adopt CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Santa Fe Springs 2040 General Plan Update and Targeted Zoning Code update, and to adopt the Santa Fe Springs 2040 General Plan, including the 2021-2029 Housing Element and Implementation Plan. Prior to the February 8, 2022, unanimous decision, except for the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan which was adopted in 1993, all other elements (Open Space/Conservation, Safety Element, Circulation Element, Noise Element, and Environmental Element) of the General Plan were adopted in 1994.
