City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: Maricela Balderas/Jose Carrillo Date of Report: May 31, 2022 Department of Community Services
City of Santa Fe Springs

PRESENTATION
Proclaiming June 15, 2022 as “World Elder Abuse Awareness Day” in the City of Santa Fe Springs

BACKGROUND
Older Americans make invaluable contributions to our families, our communities, and our nation every day. But for far too many, the sacred promise of aging with dignity in America is broken by unethical incidents of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. On World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, Americans of all ages join the international community to raise awareness and help bring an end to elder abuse.

Elder abuse can take many forms, including financial, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, as well as exploitation and neglect. Every year, one in ten Americans aged 60 and older experiences abuse — and for every case of elder abuse that comes to the attention of authorities, it is estimated that 23 cases are never brought to light. These attacks are shameful and deeply un-American.

On June 15, 2022, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, the City of Santa Fe Springs will stand with all older Americans, and elderly people around the world, who are victims of elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, and recommit ourselves to protecting every senior’s right to live their golden years with dignity and respect.

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

Raymond R. Cruz

CITY COUNCIL

STUDY SESSION

4. Aquatic Center Status Update (Public Works)
Recommendation:
• Provide staff direction on how to proceed with repair, renovation, replacement or closure of the Aquatic Center facilities.

Director of Public Works, Noe Negrete spoke in regards to the current condition of the pools and equipment of the aquatic center. He emphasized the necessity of making improvements.

Parks and Recreation Manager, Gus Hernandez spoke about the benefits of the aquatic programs and how it improves one’s health. He also provided a list of programs the City provides under the aquatic center.

Mr. Negrete continued the presentation. He provided comparisons to neighboring cities that have closed pools due to having similar issues as our city. He spoke about Pico Rivera, Bell Gardens and Lynwood. He also provided 4 options of the alternatives that Council has to address the repairs. In addition, Mr. Negrete listed the approved CIP budget for fiscal years 2022-25. Comparisons were provided, using Whittier Aquatics at Pioneer High School as an example. He emphasized how their cost for their pool and Minutes of the May 3, 2022 City Council Meeting

Page 2 ends

structure was $30 million dollars. He stated they plan to also obtain feedback from the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee and the Youth Leadership Advisory Committee.

He also noted that he is open for receiving recommendations on alternative community engagement ideas. There will be an RFP that will be out within the next few months to hire someone to create the designs. The whole project will take approximately four years.

Different designs will need to be selected, the amount will need to be taken to account and the construction will need to be taken into account as well. The total center for new aquatic center can add up to $15.8 million dollars.

Mayor Pro Tem Zamora suggested having a survey that the residents can provide their feedback. He also suggested to having the survey option via the GoSFSApp.

Mr. Negrete stated that he will have staff look into it.

Mayor Pro Tem Zamora also requested having this survey on social media. He would like this survey to be sent directly to the City rather than having them post via comments. He also suggested reaching out at the nearby schools within the City that can provide their input.

Council Member Martin suggested asking the lifeguards for their opinion.

Mayor Rodriguez inquired whether the City can use Santa Fe Springs High School Pool during the renovations.

Council Member Sarno stated that Santa Fe Springs High School is also in the process renovating their pool.

Mr. Hernandez confirmed that information that the High School will also be renovating their pool in the near future.

Council Member Sarno noted that he is happy to see a full audience as he hopes that everyone can assist the Council by sharing today’s information on the cost to renovate the aquatic center.

Council Member Mora noted that there were different phases on the design and inquired whether staff had a recommendation on a specific phase.

Mr. Negrete stated that the phase/design will take a while as they will need to hire someone to conduct survey and create the design.

Council Member Mora stated that Metro had meetings in different areas and perhaps the City can have similar meetings such as them to allow more resident input. He stated that the process may speed up the process, including adding meetings at schools.

Council Member Martin stated that as long as the City continues to keep the residents informed of the progress of the aquatic center project, the time will go by quickly.

Mayor Rodriguez stated that while the City is obtaining feedback from residents, the staff should also begin gathering the potential numbers/cost for the project. She stated that Minutes of the May 3, 2022 City Council Meeting

Page 3 ends

there are currently four options and already eliminating one option which is demolishing the pool.

Mr. Negrete stated what size does the Council want the pools.

Council Member Sarno stated that at least to keep the large pool, adding the snack bar can be done for now. He noted that the outside structure can be kept the same to be ahead of the construction part. As long as everyone agrees with keeping the large pool and adding a splash pad.

Mayor Pro Tem Zamora suggested scheduling the community meetings as soon as possible to speed up the process.

Mr. Negrete stated there is a pool as well and will need to know the options that Council want. He suggested to first schedule the community engagement meetings to provide the alternatives to Council and selected from those options. He also stated that by eliminating the small pool there might be eliminating several of programs. Therefore, options can be given on how it can impact a program or process.

Mayor Pro Tem Zamora requested to have a bilingual translator at all these community meetings.

Council Member Sarno and Mayor Pro Tem Zamora suggested to have the meetings take place during the summer.

Mr. Negrete stated that the first step is not giving the council a number, learning from the county’s mistake to ensure the City doesn’t commit to a number and try to cut items from the project to meet that number.

Mayor Rodriguez requested for staff to provide additional information to Council on what programs will be available to transport the seniors to other facilities.

Mr. Hernandez stated that the information will be provided to Council.

City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: Ivy M. Tsai, City Attorney Date of Report: June 3, 2022 City of Santa Fe Springs

CONSENT AGENDA
A Resolution of the City Council Reaffirming the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to the Threat of COVID-19 (pursuant to Government Code section 8630)

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).

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

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.

CONSENT AGENDA
Telegraph Road Complete Street Study – Approval of Implementation Agreement

BACKGROUND
Telegraph Road is a major east/west arterial corridor that extends approximately 12 miles through the Gateway Cities from LA County Unincorporated (S. Marianna Avenue) on the west and La Mirada (Imperial Highway) on the east. Telegraph Road carries a significant volume of traffic particularly relieving heavy traffic volumes along the I-605, I-5 and I-710 freeways, which it crosses at varying points. The cities along the Telegraph Road Corridor wish to establish a Complete Streets model to relieve traffic congestion and to enhance active transportation opportunities along the corridor.

The development of a sub-regional arterial corridor plan would better position the participating cities when competing for federal, state, and regional funding in the future.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed the Gateway COG Implementation Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Implementation Agreement designates for each city along the Telegraph Road Corridor to contribute proportionately for the costs of the study on a per-mile basis.

The approximate cost of the study is $180,150.00, and the Gateway COG has secured a $135,000 grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to cover most of the study costs. The following jurisdictions will finance the remaining balance: Santa Fe Springs, La Mirada, Downey, Pico Rivera, Commerce and Unincorporated Los Angeles County.

Santa Fe Springs has approximately 2.94 miles of the 12.01 miles of the corridor study.

This result is approximately 24% of the length of the corridor and corresponds with an assessment total of $11,052.54. The City has sufficient funding in the Utility User’s Tax / Capital Improvement Fund, and City staff recommends an appropriation of $11,100.00 to fund the Telegraph Road Complete Street Study.

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve the Implementation Agreement with Gateway Cities Council of Governments (Gateway COG) to develop a Complete Street Study along Telegraph Road through the Gateway Cities;
• Appropriate $11,100.00 from the Utility User’s Tax / Capital Improvement Fund to the Telegraph Road Complete Street Study; and
• Authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City.

City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: W. Morrell & J. Wong Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Planning and Development
City of Santa Fe Springs

CONSENT AGENDA
Resolution No. 9793 Waiving the Requirements of Chapter 117 (Oil & Gas) of the Santa Fe Springs Code of Ordinances for An Unlocated Abandoned Oil Well at 11212 Norwalk Boulevard, and Related Indemnity Agreement

BACKGROUND
In May 14, 2018, the Planning Commission approved Development Plan Approval (DPA) Case No. 936 and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Case No. 787.

The DPA allowed for the construction of a new ±128,896 sq. ft. mini-warehouse along with a new ±1,200 sq. ft. office building at 11212 Norwalk Boulevard. The CUP allowed the establishment, operation, and maintenance of a miniwarehouse facility at 11212 Norwalk Boulevard.

At the August 8, 2019, City Council Meeting, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 1104, which amended the procedures regarding the abandonment of oil wells. The approved ordinance allows the Director of Planning in consultation with the Fire Chief, to conditionally authorize issuance of a building and/or grading permit for property that contain any active or abandoned wells, even if the Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), determines that a well was not abandoned to its current standards. One requirement is to execute and record against the property an environmental release and indemnity agreement providing that the property owner and his assignees, release, indemnify and hold harmless the city against any and all claims, obligations, and causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, for personal injury or death, property damage, economic loss, and fines and penalties.

The owner has submitted to the City various technical reports and recommendations relating to mitigation of potential public health and safety concerns relating to the abandoned oil wells, including the following technical reports:

RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Adopt Resolution No.9793, waiving the requirement of Chapter 117 (Oil & Gas) of the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code of Ordinance for an unlocated abandoned oil well at 11212 Norwalk Boulevard; and • Approve the Indemnity Agreement between the City of Santa Fe Springs (City) and 11212 Norwalk Blvd LLC., to indemnify the City of Santa Fe Springs from any and all liability associated with the oil and gas wells (API No. 03715451 & API No. 03715767) at 11212 Norwalk Boulevard (APN:

No. 8167-003-800 and 8025-001-014); and
• Authorize the Mayor or designee to execute the Indemnity Agreement between the City of Santa Fe Springs and 11212 Norwalk Blvd LLC.

• Witten Engineering report dated July 12, 2021
• Roux Associates, lnc. leak test report covering the Gilbert Petroleum Corporation (CPC) 1 dated January 21, 2022
According to the CalGEM Construction Site Well Review Report (Report ID:
1012233), two abandoned oil and gas wells were identified within the property boundary, Gilbert Petroleum Corporation No.1 (API No. 03715451) (“Well No. 1”) and Industrial Oil Syndicate No.4-2 (API No. 03715767) (“Well No. 42”). Well No.1 was plugged and abandoned on 8/8/1925, and Well No. 42 was plugged and abandoned on 3/25/1926.The report, however, indicated that both wells were not abandoned to CalGEM’s current abandonment requirements as prescribed by law. As a result, CalGEM recommended that these wells be abandoned or re-abandoned in compliance with current CalGEM requirements, prior to development on the property.

In order to locate the two known wells, the owner submitted geophysical survey report prepared by Terra-Petra indicated that Well No. 1 was located within the property’s boundary, but Well No. 42 was not located within the property boundary. To further investigate the location of Well No. 42, the owner retained Witten Engineering to review all information available for Well No. 42. Witten Engineering found that the coordinates listed in the CalGEM Well finder map for Well No.42 were not accurate and that the well was a borehole drilled to locate oil or gas boring formations in 1923, and no oil or gas bearing formations were discovered in the borehole, and the well was abandoned in 1924 and reabandoned in 1926. The reabandonment consisted of removal of the top portion of the surface casing and the top portion of the production casing followed by placement of a cement plug at the surface. Lastly, the owner retained Signal Geoscience to perform four rounds of excavation, detailed soil examination, and

Resolution No. 9793
aerial photograph review. The results also concluded that Well No. 42 was not located within the property boundary.

Based on the documents and findings mentioned above, the owner informed the City that Well No.42 was not located within the subject property. To confirm the owner findings the City had its oil and gas expert, Evans & Walker, review the aforementioned documents and other documents provided by the owner. Evans & Walker determined that the owner has expended great effort in attempting to locate Well No. 42, and it concurs that Well No. 42 is not located on the property.

Chapter 117 of the City of Santa Fe Springs Code of Ordinances (Oil and Gas), does not have procedures to address abandoned wells recorded by CalGEM that cannot be located. Staff therefore recommends that the City approve Resolution No. 9793, to waive the requirements of Chapter 117 of the Santa Fe Springs Code of Ordinance to address the unlocated oil well and thereby allow for the issuance of building permits and/or grading permits with regard to Well No. 42, until such time that Well No. 42 is located.

Additionally, staff recommends that the City and the owner enter into an Environmental Release and Indemnity Agreement, benefitting the City and setting forth the owner’s obligations to indemnify and release the City from liability associated with all oil and gas wells on the property.

CONSENT AGENDA
Approval of In-kind Services Agreement between the City of Santa Fe Springs and Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority (SASSFA) for FY 2022-2023

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Fe Springs partners with the Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority (SASSFA) to provide a daily congregate and homebound delivered meal program to its senior citizen population. The meal programs are funded in part by a grant from the Los Angeles County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) acquired by SASSFA.

The SASSFA congregate meal program also obtains some funding from the City and through participant donations which have significantly decreased since the start of the pandemic. The meal programs provide daily nutritious lunches to older adults at the Gus Velasco Neighborhood Center (GVNC), and also prepares, packages, and delivers meals to homebound frail elderly, and disabled residents in the community. For the past two and half years, SASSFA has been delivering frozen meals Monday through Thursday due to COVID-19. These meals have been delivered to both registered congregate meal senior citizens and home bound meal recipients. On May 23, 2022, the SASSFA congregate meal program returned to in-person lunches and continues to prepare and package home bound delivered meals in the GVNC kitchen.

The renewal of the In-kind Services Agreement between SASSFA and the City of Santa Fe Springs occurs annually. This agreement will allow SASSFA the continued use of kitchen space at the GVNC for the in-person congregate meal and preparation and delivery of the homebound meals, and will support all services listed in the agreement.

SASSFA operates at the GVNC Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and noon. Furthermore, the In-kind Services Agreement serves as required documentation for SASSFA’s auditing purposes and fulfills the Los Angeles County AAA grant requirement.

The term of the agreement is July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The agreement is categorized by type of service - facility, office space, utilities, equipment and custodial services, which are all provided regularly to SASSFA by the City at the GVNC. The services are broken down by monthly rates, with an estimated usage space of 3,100 sq. ft., totaling an estimated value of $34,734.

RECOMMENDATIONS
• Approve In-kind Services Agreement between the City of Santa Fe Springs and Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority (SASSFA) for FY 2022- 2023; and
• Authorize the City Manager to execute the In-kind Services Agreement ITEM NO. 9F

Reimbursement of Circuit Costs
This Appendix lists the circuits contracted for by CENIC on behalf of CTC and the Library for connecting CENIC’s fiber optic backbone to Library and for library connections that are not direct connections to CENIC’s fiber optic backbone, e.g. direct connections between libraries (defined as “Services” in the Agreement). Library understands that CENIC will bill CTC, and CTC will bill Library, for the costs of circuits charged by network service providers, including any taxes and surcharges, and any one-time installation fees. Prior to approval of CENIC’s Erate Consortium Library Application, not all applicable E-rate and CTF discounts will be reflected on invoices. After the E-rate Application for any given year is approved, the network service provider will coordinate with CENIC to provide appropriate credits and such credits will be passed from CENIC to CTC and from CTC to the Library. Such credits are typically issued sometime during the fiscal year after the year in which the circuits are installed and Services are first provided. In subsequent years, credits continue to be issued in the fiscal year after the year for which Services have been provided. Library further understands that the exact discounted cost of circuits will not be known until after the E-rate Consortium Library Application is approved. The actual start date of the Service, and therefore of circuit costs, will be dependent on coordination among CENIC, the Library and the network service provider. Any one-time (Non-recurring or NRC) costs included below are typically invoiced by carriers prior to circuit installation and will be invoiced to Library upon receipt of invoice to CENIC from the network service provider.

Introduction and Discussion of City’s Proposed Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget

BACKGROUND
We are pleased to present the proposed operating budget for the City of Santa Fe Springs for the fiscal year 2022-23. The operating budget provides the foundation for our work plan and, most importantly, the commitments to our residents and businesses of this community. As a financial document, the budget presents our best assumptions for revenues and expenditures for the next year of service. As a policy document, it presents our City’s unwavering commitment to providing resources towards improving the quality of life for our community.

These past two years not only upended our personal lives, it upended our organization’s budget, services, and programs. And while, as a society, we are beginning to see shades of normalcy from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now facing a new challenge – elevated national inflation generated by lingering supply-chain disruption and Russia’s war in Ukraine, which has led to sharp increases in the cost of living across our country and throughout our community.

In spite of the inflation challenge, our City continues to move forward. Our financial position is the strongest it has been over the last several years due to prudent decisions made by the City Council. Although there is an increased economic uncertainty as the war, global supply chain disruptions and record rates of inflation persist, the City’s current financial position is stable and staff anticipates our revenues to trend favorably and be within the budget estimates for the year. While we remain hopeful and optimistic about these revenue trends, staff will continue to monitor our revenues and any adverse fluctuations in expected trends.

The spending plan for this upcoming fiscal year includes a shift of our organization’s focus to begin to accomplish our long-term goals – such as, restoring staffing levels to where they need to be in order to deliver effective and efficient services to our community; seeking alternative sources of revenue to establish a reliable and consistent funding source for our capital improvement projects; enhancing the resources to better maintain our hardscape; modernizing our IT infrastructure for our community and for our employees; and, lastly, seeking alternative and more reliable water resources. We will remain steadfast and proactive in addressing them. The FY 2022-23 proposed operating budget has dedicated resources to begin to address each challenge in this upcoming fiscal year.

RECOMMENDATION
Provide staff direction regarding revenue and expenditure matters included in the fiscal year 2022-23 proposed budget.

ITEM NO. 10
City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey and Alvaro Castellon Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Finance and Administrative Services
City of Santa Fe Springs
FY 2021-22 Year-End Projection
Although this current fiscal year was overshadowed by the pandemic and its effects on the general economy, our City was fortunate that our sales tax base has been relatively unaffected by the pandemic as it had little to no effect on our revenue stream.

The Stay-at-Home orders also generated greater than anticipated online sales, which our City benefitted from immensely. While the sales tax generated the previous fiscal year (FY 20-21) was the highest the City has ever generated, staff anticipates this current fiscal year’s sales tax will be greater than what was generated in previous fiscal years. The sales tax (Bradley-Burns) revenue/growth is critical to our finances as it represents nearly half of all our City’s General Fund revenues.

Additionally, this is the third full year of collecting the voter-approved Transaction & Use Tax (Measure Y) and its trend is very favorable for the City. Measure Y has alleviated some of the financial burdens that have threatened our strong financial position. Even during a global pandemic, Measure Y was a consistent and reliable stream of revenue for our City. The sales tax and Measure Y combined represent over two-thirds (68%) of our General Fund revenues.

As such, staff is anticipating ending this current fiscal year with a $6.0-$8.0 million operating surplus. While this is welcoming news, there are still certain financial challenges we need to address moving forward. Under the direction of the City Council, we established and funded multiple set-aside funds (i.e., Capital Improvement Projects, Unfunded Liability, Economic Contingency, Equipment Replacement, Employee Benefits, Risk Management and Unassigned Reserves) several years ago to begin addressing some of these challenges. For the previous two fiscal years, staff has recommended allocating operating surpluses to these funds and once this fiscal year’s financials are completed, staff will provide a recommendation on allocating the anticipated surplus to the City Council.

The City’s Water Utility fund is anticipated to have an operating surplus of approximately $1.0 million at year end. Over the last several years, there has been a continuing need for Capital Improvement Projects related to the source of water to aid in stabilizing the growing cost of water from outside sources. The cost to have an operating well in both of the City’s water zones is expected to be approximately $10 million. Other options for water supply sources are also being considered, but all come with a capital investment requirement. Once the fiscal year is completed, staff will recommend setting aside the operating surplus to add to the Water CIP reserve.

FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget Highlights
The proposed General Fund budget has an estimated $1.9 million budget surplus primarily due to a 7.3% (or $4.8 million) increase in the City’s General Fund revenues, City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey and Alvaro Castellon Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Finance and Administrative Services

City of Santa Fe Springs
when compared to the Adopted Budget revenue figures for FY 2021-22 ($69.6 million vs. $64.9 million). These increases represent staff’s best assumptions based on information available. Staff will continue to closely monitor the City’s revenue sources as well as key economic indicators throughout the year.

Included in this proposed budget are resources for several organizational needs including:
• Replacement of various City vehicles including two fire engines; • Funding for twenty-two (22) position adjustments including:
o five (5) new full-time positions
o eight (8) upgrades; and
o nine (9) new part-time positions;
• Funding for additional traffic/police officers;
• Several IT upgrades/enhancements;
• Funding for non-recurring expenditures, which include replacements of furniture in public facilities, refurbishments of public facilities, and internal process improvements;
• Funding for inflation driven increases in operations, such as, supplies, contracts and utilities.

The following table summarizes the proposed sources and uses for FY 2022-23:

Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey and Alvaro Castellon Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Finance and Administrative Services
City of Santa Fe Springs
During FY 2022-23, General Fund revenues are expected to total $69.6 million. This does not include “applied” General Fund revenues (an additional $12.6 million) that are derived from the operations of specific departments and allocated to offset those same departmental expenditures.

As stated, the most significant increases are to the City’s largest revenue sources:
sales tax (6.8%) and the transaction and use tax (7.2%), which is an approximately $3.3 million increase combined. Sales tax and the transaction and use tax are proposed at $33.6 million and $14.2 million, respectively. These figures are budgeted based on projections provided by the City’s consultants along with historical trend analysis.

The chart below illustrates an overall view of the City’s revenues for the next fiscal year.

Sales Tax Revenue
City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey and Alvaro Castellon Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Finance and Administrative Services
City of Santa Fe Springs
The State of California’s Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) disburses monies to counties and cities on a quarterly basis with advances paid monthly. Quarterly adjustments are made to reflect the actual funds collected. The Sales Tax is charged by the retailers who sell tangible property in the state. The tax is measured by gross receipts from retail sales at a rate of 10.5%. Effective April 1, 2019 the distribution of the tax of 10.5% is as follows: 8.5% to other governmental agencies and 2.0% to the City of Santa Fe Springs – 1% for Bradley-Burns and 1% for the Transaction & Use Tax (Measure Y).

Historically, the City has benefitted greatly from the large business community and the sales tax revenue generated. During the Great Recession, however, the City’s revenues were disproportionately impacted by the downturn in the economy. Since then, modest gains have generally provided for a slow but steady rise. In FY 2014- 15 sales tax revenue reached the pre-recession high of $26.4 million followed by two years of declines to $25.1 million in FY 2016-17 and followed by consistent growth into FY 2018-19 & FY 2019-20. Sales tax received in FY 2020-21 ($32.1 million) was the highest ever recorded and now it is anticipated that at year-end (FY 2021-22) the sales tax will experience an increase of approximately $2.6 million to $34.7 million. *Estimate

City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey and Alvaro Castellon Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Finance and Administrative Services
City of Santa Fe Springs
In November 2018, the City of Santa Fe Springs voters approved a 1% transactions and use tax. The tax became effective April 1, 2019 with the first payment to the City beginning in June 2019. Transaction and use tax is essentially the same as the sales tax except that it is only subject to transactions delivered to customers within the City (i.e. point-of-destination) whereas sales tax applies to transactions originating within the City (i.e. point-of-sale).

Utility Users’ Tax
The Utility Users’ Tax (UUT) is imposed on every individual or entity using a utility within the City. Utilities subject to the tax include electricity, gas, and telephone (including cellular telephones). Individuals and entities using these utility services pay a tax rate of 5.0% on all charges made for such services. As the third largest revenue source, the UUT is projected to account for 9% of the General Fund revenues.

A declining trend had been observed for the UUT in the past years; however, the UUT exceeded budget estimates last fiscal year and is now expected to surpass this current fiscal year’s estimate as well. The projected UUT revenue is $6.3 million for FY 2022- 23 – an increase of $200,000 or 3.3% from last fiscal year. The UUT is anticipated to remain relatively flat over the next several years.

Expenditures
Overall, General Fund expenditures and operating fund transfers are expected to total approximately $67.7 million in FY 2022-23, or about $5.9 million greater than the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget. Departmental expenditures, net of applied revenues ($12.6 million), are estimated at $63.2 million in FY 2022-23 compared to the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget of $57.3 million. The overall increase of 9.6% is due to a variety of factors including: 3% cost of living adjustment (COLA) as part of the 3-year labor agreements, general rise in labor related costs – CalPERS contributions, step increases, health care increases, and minimum wage increases – inflation driven increases in maintenance and operations as well as other recommended operating needs previously mentioned at the beginning of this report.

Additionally, the proposed budget also includes funding for twenty-two position adjustments in order to begin to address needed staffing levels. These include:
• Five new full-time positions:
o Code Enforcement Inspector I
o Community Services Specialist
o Mechanic I
o Two (2) Maintenance Workers
• Eight upgrades – including four part-time positions to full-time positions:

City Council Meeting June 7, 2022
Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey and Alvaro Castellon Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Finance and Administrative Services
City of Santa Fe Springs
o Part-time Administrative Clerk to Administrative Asst. II o Account Clerk I to Account Clerk II
o Part-time Finance Office Aide to Administrative Asst. II o Salary adjustment for Program Assistant in the Planning Dept. o Two (2) part-time apprentices to full-time positions
o Streets & Grounds Lead Worker to Streets Supervisor
o Assistant Civil Engineer to Associate Civil Engineer
• Nine new part-time positions:
o Three (3) Administrative Interns
o Three (3) Program Leader III
o Two (2) Information Desk Assistant
o Program Leader I
In addition to these position adjustments, staff is recommending a title change (with no fiscal impact) – Streets and Grounds Supervisor position to Grounds Supervisor. Due to the increasing demand in both Streets and Grounds sections, the need to separate the sections with each having a Supervisor is needed in order to maintain effective service levels. The Grounds Supervisor will oversee the following: tree trimming and the tree trimming contractor, landscape and the landscape contractor, ball field maintenance, irrigation, tree planting, claims, respond to public requests, and related items citywide.

The following chart illustrates the relative departmental expenditures:

FY 2022-23 Water Utility Proposed Budget
The proposed budget for FY 2022-23 has an approximate $0.5 million budget surplus, primarily due to increased revenues as a result of the new water rates. Total revenues are expected to increase by $1.2 million or 7.7%, while expenditures are expected to increase by approximately $1.7 million or 11.7%. The proposed budget includes a recommendation to transfer the $0.5 million budget surplus into the Water CIP Reserve in order to start accumulating funding to explore alternative and reliable water sources.

The following table summarizes the proposed sources and uses for FY 2022-23:

Next Steps
The proposed FY 2022-23 is presented to the City Council for further input and direction. Staff will incorporate any further direction and input provided by the City Council and present the budget for adoption at the June 21st Council meeting.

As we move forward, there is a lot more to accomplish together. Navigating a global pandemic is not an easy feat and we were able to do so through the City Council’s leadership and our dedicated staff. This upcoming fiscal year will mark a change of focus for our organization and we will continue the constant pursuit of our City’s mission to deliver exemplary public services responsive to our entire community and consistent with our history, culture and unique character.

Maidstone Avenue – Evaluation of Parkway Pine Trees

BACKGROUND
Maidstone Avenue is a residential street located south of Florence Avenue. The street runs north and south, and then gently hooks west where it intersects with Roseton Avenue. There are approximately 27 homes within this stretch of roadway. The street roadway width is 30 feet wide, with 12 foot parkways on each side of the street.

Maidstone Avenue is lined with 23 mature pine trees in the parkway on both sides of the street.

On April 30, 2022, staff received survey results compiled by the residents on Maidstone regarding requesting the removal of the parkway pine trees. Of the 20 respondents to the survey, 19 voted to have the City remove the pine trees. Staff then conducted a survey, and the results are shown below.

Date(s) of Survey: Wednesday, May 25, 2022 5:15 pm to 6:35 pm No. of Respondents: 22
Homeowner: 13 (59%)
Renter: 9 (41%)
In Favor of Tree Removal: 20 (91%)
Not In Favor of Tree Removal: 2 (9%)
In Favor of Tree Replacement: 17 (77%)
The survey performed by staff substantiates and agrees with the survey done by the residents. In both surveys, 90% of residents prefer the removal of the pine trees.

Reasons provided for the pine tree removal are as follows: pine needles are a public nuisance. The pine needles require constant maintenance, sweeping of the sidewalk, front yard areas, roof, and backyard areas. Several residents complained about pine needles getting into their pools and clogging their filters. Multiple complaints regarding the tree roots infiltrating their sewer lateral, causing residents to replace their sewer lateral. Other complaints centered on the sap sticking to their vehicles causing property damage. Staff observed raised sidewalks, displaced curb and gutter and areas of asphalt pavement uplift due to the tree roots. Staff also observed several areas in the gutter where there was standing water or evidence of standing water. Due to curb and gutter horizontal displacement and vertical uplift, the street does not drain properly.

The City’s policy is to protect and preserve healthy trees. Healthy trees provide a benefit to the environment and add to the quality of life. The trees are not dead, diseased or dying, which is criteria for removal. The trees are not hazardous as there is no high risk of failure, potential structural damage to a building, or a sight distance

RECOMMENDATION
• Provide staff direction on the parkway pine trees.

issue caused by the trees. The main issue is property maintenance and property damage caused by the pine trees. Residents along Maidstone Avenue complain that they experience a poor quality of life due to the upkeep and property damage associated with the pine trees.

Construction Plans are currently under design to rehabilitate Maidstone Avenue. The rehabilitation consists of new pavement, and repairs to concrete flatwork (curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveways, etc.). The rehabilitation work may be performed with or without removing the existing pine trees. If the pine trees are removed, this would be the appropriate time before street improvements are performed and to have the parkway trees replaced with the street improvement project.

The process of removing pine trees on a residential street was previously done on Parkmead Street from Pioneer Boulevard to Jersey Avenue in 2016 due to similar reasons regarding damage to the street pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and drainage issues.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate cost to remove all pine trees along Maidstone Avenue is between $45,000 to $50,000. The approximate cost to replace the trees in the parkway ranges from $10,000 to $15,000. The replacement trees could be included in the street rehabilitation project.

If tree removal is selected by the Council, staff recommends performing this work via a change order to the City’s tree maintenance contractor. An additional funding allocation to the Public Works Operational and Maintenance budget would also be necessary.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT
Healthy trees provide a benefit to the environment and add to the quality of life for the residents.

NEW BUSINESS
On-Call Professional Engineering Services for the Design of Residential Streets Improvements South of Florence Avenue (Orr & Day Road to Ringwood Avenue) Approval of Task Order No. 3

BACKGROUND
On November 30, 2021 at the CIP Study Session, City Council directed Staff to begin the process of the Design of Residential Streets Improvements South of Florence Avenue. The project limits encompass Florence Avenue to the north, Orr & Day Road to the west and Ringwood Avenue to the east, this area is also known as the “The Triangle.”
On December 9, 2021, Staff solicited a Request for Quotes (RFQ) from the approved list of Engineering firms (Consultants) to provide On-Call Professional Engineering Services for the Street Improvement Design for Residential Streets South of Florence Avenue (Triangle).The selected consultant will be responsible for preparing the project’s plans, specifications, and engineering estimates. The project will consist of the grind and cap of asphalt concrete pavement for specific streets and a slurry seal for the remaining streets. The new paving section will support vehicular car loads, and increase pavement service life. Additionally, the project also includes the removal and replacement of curb and gutter, sidewalks, curb ramps, driveways, culverts and the installation of storm water screen covers, as needed.

On February 1, 2022, City Council authorized the Director of Public Works to execute an $85,500 Task Order for the professional engineering services with NV5, Inc. (NV5).

NV5 submitted preliminary design plans for City review and upon detailed analysis of Maidstone Avenue (Florence Avenue to Roseton Avenue), it was determined that the large pine trees have compromised the street pavement and a more extensive pavement design will be necessary. The NV5 proposal reflects the need for a Topographic Survey for the recommended slurry streets and the street pavement design/survey on Longworth Avenue (Orr & Day Road to Harvest Avenue and Maidstone Avenue). Longworth Avenue Street Improvements project is an approved CIP project.

RECOMMENDATION
• Accept the NV5, Inc. Street Improvements South of Florence Avenue Proposal Amendment;
• Appropriate $48,500 from the Utility User Tax (UUT) Capital Improvement Fund to the Design of Residential Streets Improvements South of Florence Avenue (Orr & Day Road to Ringwood Avenue) Project Account No. PW220002; • Approve Task Order No. 3 to NV5, Inc. for the Design of the Residential Streets Improvements South of Florence Avenue including Maidstone Avenue and Longworth Avenue in the amount of $48,500; and

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Little Lake Park – Evaluation of Tournament Field Operation

BACKGROUND
On September 7, 2021, the Council directed staff to evaluate a proposal from ZT Baseball to transition the Athletic Fields located at Little Lake Park to a Tournament Field(s) Operation. Staff has had numerous discussions and communications with ZT Baseball; receiving from them their initial proposal, revised proposal and emails for clarification on the proposal(s).

Little Lake Park is a shared park between the cities of Santa Fe Springs and Norwalk.

Little Lake Park serves residents from both cities as well as neighboring cities. The current agreement has both cities sharing equally (50%) the costs associated with park maintenance and recreation programming. The City of Norwalk has use of the park Monday through Thursday, generally from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. The City of Santa Fe Springs has use of the park on Friday, Saturday and Sunday generally from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (except Fridays until 10 p.m.).

Staff has reviewed and evaluated the proposal from ZT Baseball for Little Lake Park and has listed the pros and cons to the development the of Athletic Fields.

Pros

1. Revenues will be paid to the City. ZT Baseball proposes varying rates of revenue depending on the length of the agreement. For 20 years 3% of gross revenues, 15 years 2% of gross revenues, and 10 years 1% of gross revenues.

2. ZT Baseball will maintain fields and all areas within fence.

3. Four baseball fields will be reconstructed to face outward with fields in center of park.

4. Approximately $8.4 million is estimated by ZT Baseball to be spent in local economy per year by baseball related activities at Little Lake Park.

5. Free summer camps for the community a few times a year.

6. Improvements to current restrooms will be made.

7. Shade structures will be constructed for spectator viewing.

8. Artificial turf will be installed for the infield of baseball fields.

9. Improvements to baseball dugouts.

10. Walkways surrounding ballfields will be constructed.

11. Local businesses will gain more exposure with incoming visitors. ZT Baseball plans to use local vendors when needs arise.

RECOMMENDATION
• Provide staff direction on the Tournament Field Operation proposal for Little Lake Park.

ITEM NO. 13
Little Lake Park –
Evaluation of ZT Baseball Proposal Page 2 of 3
Report Submitted By: Noe Negrete Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Director of Public Works
Cons

1. Term of lease agreement will essentially limit or eliminate Santa Fe Springs and Norwalk usage of the fields.

2. Inadequate parking availability for tournaments, park patrons, St. Pius X Church patrons, birthday / special occasion parties, basketball court patrons.

3. Nearby residents may complain about park patrons using residential streets for parking.

4. Increase in traffic around Little Park, especially on weekends.

5. Current sports leagues would be forced to relocate to another park: Norwalk Girls Fastpitch, Norwalk / SFS Saints Football, Adult League Softball.

6. Fee to enter Athletic Fields for spectators.

7. Approximately 1,500 visitors to the park every weekend (45 weeks).

8. Possible elimination of Hitting Zone Batting Cages should more parking be necessary.

9. Park perimeter fencing and/or ball field fencing prohibits access to park open space and eliminates multi-usage of fields for soccer, football, softball and other passive uses.

10. 1% of revenue is estimated at $186,000. Minus ball field prep and field maintenance costs, this amount is the current amount of revenue generated from City of Norwalk cost sharing and sports leagues usage. Therefore, the revenue would be the same as current operation.

Unknowns
There are still issues that need more clarification regarding the improvements. They are listed below:

1. Lighting of the ballfields is unclear. New lighting is proposed on the north fields but not on the south fields. The south fields will keep existing lighting. With the ball fields reconfigured, staff is unsure if this will provide adequate lighting for the fields.

2. Restroom improvements are slated to be improved, but no details are provided.

There are currently two restroom facilities at the park, no specifics were given.

3. Ballfields are reconfigured to face outward. No dimensions were provided on the fields to determine if the proposed configuration has no overlap of fields.

4. Possibility of balls being hit into apartments on north fields. Need to determine field dimensions or add fencing or netting.

5. Utility (water and power) costs are to be shared by City and ZT Baseball. This is likely to increase but staff is not sure how much and how those costs would be shared.

6. Potential increase for trash services due to public littering in the parks and residential neighborhoods.

7. Potential increase to custodial services to increase frequency of cleaning bathrooms.

8. Potential needs for more police patrols at the park, especially on weekends.

9. It is not clear if alcohol will be served by ZT Baseball concessionaire.

Report Submitted By: Noe Negrete Date of Report: June 3, 2022 Director of Public Works
Other Considerations

1. City of Norwalk has not been officially contacted since they own and operate the park in partnership with City of Santa Springs. Unofficially Norwalk staff is not in favor of losing access to athletic fields. City of Norwalk may also request to split revenue should the project move forward.

2. Similar athletic field projects (not involving ZT Baseball) in other cities (Cathedral City, Chino Hills, La Puente) have not materialized as originally intended and resulted in defaulted payments, bankruptcy or the sale of facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposal from ZT Baseball commits approximately $2 million to complete the improvements described in the Pros. Staff estimates the improvements to cost closer to $10 million than $2 million. ZT Baseball is willing to negotiate the costs if this project moves forward.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
August 2021
Dear Committee,
I am submitting herewith our RFP for the baseball fields and facility at Little Lake Park in Santa Fe Springs.

We are interested in serving the local community for hosting sporting tournaments and carrying out necessary capital improvements at Little Lake Park in Santa Fe Springs, along with offering a safe, fun, exciting and unique tournament opportunity for park visitors. We would like to have a long-term offering of 20 years which would include at a minimum, operating four (4) baseball fields and a concession stand.

ZT Parks, LP (“ZT Parks”) is a limited partnership to serve as the primary organization on this proposal, and backed by ZT Corporate, a Houston-based private equity firm. ZT Parks is uniquely positioned to deliver on the specifications of this RFP as it lends on the rich history of its founding members within the world of professional youth baseball empowered by a brand that is consistently seeing tremendous growth in youth level baseball at both local and national levels.

ZT Parks is part of ZT Corporate’s vision to become an integral player in the competitive youth baseball space by developing a $250 million vertically integrated business by 2025. This vision includes developing youth baseball infrastructure in the form of baseball academies, leasing and rehabilitating neglected baseball parks, constructing new ball parks, managing a youth talent agency, developing team franchises, and having a media and merchandise business to substantiate this vertical integration.

ZT Parks is proud to bring Perfect Game as the affiliate for bringing tournaments to the little lake Park. With its mission to promote the game of baseball now and in the future by hosting the highest quality amateur events while providing meaningful opportunities and information to players, families, MLB organizations, college coaches, and fans, we believe ZT Parks has the perfect partner it needs to successfully meet the specifications as laid out in the RFP.

It is my hope that this proposal serves as a demonstration on why ZT Parks will be the ideal partner for Santa Fe Springs and its community. In case of any required clarification or additional information, please feel free to contact me using my contact information provided below.

Additionally, I will also be acting as the authorized person to contractually obligate ZT Parks with this proposal and will be coordinating with you for any future negotiations.

Kind Regards,
Mohsin Malik

7 OUR APPROACH:

ZT Parks’ philosophy is driven by the belief that community members of Santa Fe Springs deserve a fulfilling, enriching, and high-quality experience in their use of the Little Lake Park.

With that vision, ZT Parks intends to invest up to $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 depending on the term of the agreement, to carry out extensive improvements and renovations that will enable the park to host youth tournaments up to 45 weekends for kids between ages of 8-18 years old.

This approach will help attract the best local and national youth teams to participate in baseball, and softball tournaments at Little Lake Park, but also create a superior level of recreational experience for the Santa Fe Springs community all the while accruing economic benefits to the community to the tune of up to $8,437,500 on an annualized basis.

Our approach as outlined in greater detail below is based on a two-phased strategy. The first phase focuses on implementing our plan for rehabilitating the fields at the Little Lake Park. This is the phase that will require the largest chunk of ZT Parks’ planned up-front investment.

The second phase of our strategy focuses on bringing back foot traffic to the Little Lake Park in the form of baseball and softball teams that use the fields for scheduled practices and for competing in a regular tournament season, thereby filling the stands where spectators can once again enjoy the spectacle of competitive youth sport.

It is important to make a note here that as the Sports Tournament Coordinator, ZT Parks’ most significant contribution to this engagement is our ability to bring top-level youth tournaments to the field of Little Lake park.

Darren Larson, who is the VP of Youth Programs at Perfect Game – the world’s largest elite youth baseball and softball platform – and a co-owner at ZT Parks, brings with him the unique ability to bring elite youth level teams that regularly feature in scheduled tournaments. This collaboration and the leverage that the Darren Larson and Perfect Game youth baseball networks bring to ZT Parks (with around 300,000 national teams), helps us standout head and shoulders above our competition.

As such, ZT Parks is looking into entering a long-term lease for Little Lake Park. ZT Parks will:
(a) fund the improvements and activities described below (b) promote and manage baseball and softball tournaments (c) generate revenue by charging gate fees and operating a concession stand (d) generate rental income through field use for practice by teams across the county By accomplishing these goals, ZT Parks aims to convert the Little Lake Park from an expenseburden for the county for a rarely used facility into an income stream with great growth potential while serving thousands of Californian youth.

8 PROPOSED SERVICES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES:

PARK RENOVATION PLAN AND TIMELINES:

ZT Parks intends to spend up to $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 (Depending on the length of the contract) to conduct comprehensive improvements to rehabilitate the Little Lake park which includes the following initiatives:
• Providing artificial turf for the infield portions of the ball fields (making them available even during rainy weather); During the term of the agreement. • Making improvements to the dugouts;
• Providing shade cover for the existing spectator seating; • Making improvements to the restrooms & concession stands; • Fencing off the baseball fields so they may be available to ticketed spectators only during scheduled programming;
ZT Parks has experience in working with other cities with similar project and post-improvements.

Please see below a renderings developed through a professional architect to provide a visualization of how one of our other parks will look like once all improvements initiatives have been completed:

11 SCHEDULING TOURNAMENTS AND OPERATING HOURS:

ZT Parks’ co-owner Darren Larson brings with him a network of 300,000 youth baseball teams, which is the largest network of teams.

In his role as the VP of Youth Programs at Perfect Game, he also manages a network of almost 300,000 youth baseball teams across the United States – an affiliation that guarantees that the fields at Little Lake Park will see an influx of competitive youth baseball talent every weekend.

ZT Parks expects to schedule tournaments across a minimum of 35 weekends and a maximum of 45 weekends on annual basis. With 7 teams per field, we expect 28 teams in total to be utilizing the park facilities in scheduled tournaments every week, thereby involving almost 10,000 youth baseball talent in competitive games - at the very least - on an annual basis.

The park’s operational hours will be 9 AM to 10 PM all days of the week. One big field in the park will be available for public use up till 5 PM. After 5 PM all fields will be reserved for scheduled team practice. On weekends parks will be reserved for tournament games only.

FIELD RENTALS FOR TEAM PRACTICE:

ZT Parks believes that its important to ensure that fields are made available to teams for practice and for recreational use at affordable rates for the public. Fields will be available to rent for such purposes Monday to Friday after 5 PM every week. ZT Parks will be implementing a fair Market pricing for fields once approved by Santa Fe Springs committee for field rental at Little Lake Park:

BIG FIELDS:
• Monthly Pricing: $xxxx per field for twice a week for 2 hours each day the field is booked • Hourly Pricing: $xx per field per hour
• Available Discounts: All local Santa Fe Springs residence will be eligible for a 25% discount on all published rates

12 ROUTINE PARK MAINTENANCE:

ZT Parks will take full ownership of maintenance of areas of the Little Lake Park within the fenced area as part of this engagement.

The ZT Parks maintenance program will include ensuring all fields are fully prepared to be in pristine condition for conducting scheduled team practices and tournament games.

This includes carrying out needed repairs to the turf or maintaining the dirt and ensuring grass on the outfield is professionally groomed for every scheduled tournament.

Additionally, keeping in consideration the current Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to ensure highlevels of regular hygiene is maintained, ZT Parks will implement a sanitation regiment that ensures parks are always safe to use by teams and public alike.

Finally, carrying out all routine repairs needed due to wear caused by regular use of the fields and other facilities at the park will be part of ZT Parks’ routine maintenance program.

PARK PUBLIC USE:

ZT Parks intends to make one big field at the Little Lake Park available for public use free of charge to Santa Fe Springs residents Monday through Friday, from 9 AM up until 5 PM every day.

FREE SUMMER CAMPS:

ZT Parks will organize two coaching clinics – in Spanish and English – in the summer months for budding local baseball youth talent around the Santa Fe Springs community, free of cost. ZT Parks will also ensure that the K-12 schools and community organizations closest to the park receive information about ZT Parks’ free baseball and softball youth clinics.

These coaching clinics will be 3-day long with 2–3-hour long sessions each day of the camp and will operate from 9 AM – 12 PM. Additional details regarding scheduling will be published and released closer to the summer months.

13 ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF OUR PROPOSAL:

Whereas there are considerable direct benefits in the form of capital improvement expenditure and creation of revenue through gate fees, concession stand sales and field rental income that will be realized with the execution of this proposal, ZT Parks believes there are considerable indirect positive externalities that will be generated as a result of incoming foot traffic that greatly enhance the overall value proposition presented in our proposal.

We estimate that as ZT Parks brings tournaments to the Little Lake Park, we will see an influx of new spending as players, coaches, their families, and other community residents start visiting the park. With a target to organize 4 two-day tournaments every weekend and with 7 teams participating in each tournament with 10 players per team, the potential number of players visiting the park on each day of weekend (Satruday and Sunday) is 280. Over two days the total number of repeat playing members of all teams comes out to 560 players every weekend.

Along with the players about 2 coaches per team on average means there will be an estimated 56 coaches visitng the park every day of the weekend along with participating teams. For both days of the weekend together that number comes out to 112 coaches who visit the park every weekend. We also anticipate that at the bare minimum players at this level of youth baseball will be accompanied by 2 parents per player per team each day of the weekend. That brings the population of player families visiting the fields for tournaments to 560 per day of the weekend and about 1120 repeat visitors to the park acrosss the entire weekend.

When we add all of those people visiting the park over the entire weekend the potential number of total visitors to the park is 1792 based on the assumptions stated above. To be conservative with our estimates we believe we should have a good chance at bringing 1500 people to the parks every weekend.

With all this foot traffic, we anticipate that visiting team players and their families will likely have to book hotels for a night stay so they can remain in the park vicinity for the two days of the weekend to avoid any delays and unforseen issues in their participation of the tournament. Hotel stays at an average in the area are about $100 per night.

In addition to that, parents and players will buy at least 2 meals a day. We can anticipate that a single meal from a fast-food restaurant will cost about $5 per person at the bare minimum which computes to $60 spent over the weekend on meals for a 3-person visiting family. We can also anticipate families spending about $10 at the concession stand per day which brings the total spend on concession stand spending to $20 per weekend per family on average.

When we put together all the anticipated spending, we see each 3-member family spending $180 per weekend – which is $60 per person per weekend. It is important to note here that this number does not consider any spending by the coaches. Because the spending may also vary by family and that some families may choose to travel to the park each day instead of staying overnight, we assume a conservative estimate of $50 worth of spending per person per weekend.

Santa Fe Springs RFP - Submitted by ZT Parks, LP
14 Finally, all money spent in the local economy has the potential to generate additional externalities as the cash spent by families revolves in the local economy. We assume a conservative economic multiplier estimate to be 2.5 times of each dollar spent. All these assumptions when put together, generate more than $8 million for the local economy of the city in total economic benefit per our estimations annually.

15 BENEFITS TO SANTA FE SPRINGS:

While there are considerable economic benefits to the community overall, Santa Fe Springs administration and the city in general also stand to benefit greatly as part of our proposal. These benefits include:
a. Relief from maintenance costs for the grounds leased to ZT Parks; b. A share of the revenue generated by ZT Parks; (Projected 1% of Gross) c. Increased community utilization of the Park;
d. Improved facilities at the Park; and
e. Economic impact from inbound traveling teams.

WHAT ZT PARKS NEEDS FROM SANTA FE SPRINGS:

At this time, ZT Parks does not anticipate having a specific need or any deliverables from Santa Fe Springs that will restrict it from performing the scope of services as outlined in this proposal, upon successful approval of our bid.

However, ZT Parks management will be working closely with the Santa Fe Springs administration, as needed, to obtain the necessary permits for identified improvement initiatives, getting access to tournament scheduling platform and acquiring details to ensure routine transfer of Santa Fe Springs dues relating to revenue generated from gate fees, concession stand sales and field rentals along with any other needs requiring Santa Fe Springs administration assistance and collaboration that crop up from time to time.

17 PRICING:

REVENUE SHARE MODEL:

ZT Parks will operate on a 1% flat
commission rate as the share of
revenue for Santa Fe Springs
which will be calculated at the
gross income level once ZT Parks
has closed its financials for its
fiscal year ending on December 31
of every year and all dues will be
paid to Santa Fe Springs by
January 31 of the following year.

RENTAL RATE:

ZT Parks believes that the capital investments its planning to make to rehabilitate the park, the positive externalities generated through the various economic benefits to the county as a result of filling the fields with players and spectators alike – specially in tournaments over the weekends – and reducing county expenses to manage and maintain these fields to a bare minimum that for its use of the park to deliver services as described in the scope, ZT Parks feels confident proposing no field rental for its use of the fields to be paid to the county with a long term leasing agreement.

19 OUR HISTORY AND BACKGROUND:

ZT PARKS OVERVIEW:

ZT Parks was formed in 2020 by its principal officers, Taseer Badar, Darren Larson and Mohsin Malik. The vision for ZT Parks is to obtain access to baseball parks across Texas and provide baseball tournaments at these parks.

The ZT Parks ambition is in fact not just limited to Santa Fe Springs but envisions an expansion strategy that spans across California and potentially scale and grow nationally with proven model of success. Our philosophy from a baseball parks perspective is very similar to our corporate philosophy which is to:

We see a potential opportunity from a corporate perspective where there is shortage of quality fields that can host professional and high-quality youth baseball and softball tournaments.

Partnering with Darren Larson has helped us identify a niche market and a perfect relationship to grow this business.

With access to the support and backing of our corporate entity we feel appropriately situated and confident in fulfilling our mission to professionalize the industry of baseball fields and bring access to more youth that are yet underserved.

If the opportunity arises, we look forward to working with the city on other potential fields subject to considerations arising from due diligence on target locations. Lille Lake Park is a perfect fit for us as we know we have the right mix of team to not just rehabilitate the park but also fill it with regular tournaments.

22 ZT CORPORATE OVERVIEW:

ZT Corporate is a firm of operationally oriented entrepreneurs dedicated to developing and growing income-producing lower-middle market companies. Our focus is on creating value with our business partners by investing in inefficient markets where creativity, hard work, and disciplined risk-taking can generate exceptional returns for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Over the years, the company has diversified from owned and operated healthcare ventures to professionally managed car dealerships, franchise restaurants, and real estate. What has not changed is the company’s unrelenting commitment to client satisfaction and dedication to working closely with operations to deliver results. ZT offers both wealth management and private equity direct investment opportunities to accredited investors, institutions, and family offices.

Chairman and CEO Taseer Badar began his career in the wealth management industry in New York City, but he found something was lacking. He envisioned a firm that offered investment opportunities in owner-operator entities, as well as a culture that embraced the values ZT has come to exemplify.

Since beginning in 1997, ZT Corporate has focused on developing robust client relationships, utilizing innovative strategies, and delivering personalized attention to clients. As we look toward the future, we remain committed to improving the investment experience for our clients. We do have a corporate office in Beverly Hills, California that was opened earlier this year.

PERFECT GAME OVERVIEW:

Perfect Game is the world's largest elite youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, producing over 1,400 tournaments and showcases each year across the country.

Perfect Game is dedicated to giving amateur players exposure to take their game to the next level, whether that be in college or in the professional ranks. At Perfect Game events, players are performing with top-level competition in front of college recruiters and professional scouts from all over the country.

Because of this, these events prove to be invaluable to the college coaches as well as Major League Baseball, as they can scout a large population of talented ballplayers in one location. To date, more than 1,400 players that have played in a Perfect Game event have also played in Major League Baseball.

Since 2003, 12,776 Perfect Game alumni have been selected in the MLB First-Year Amateur Player Draft. In the 2020 Draft, for example, 93 percent of all players selected had played in Perfect Game events, and all but one player selected on the Draft's first day had previously attended Perfect Game events.

And in the 2019 College World Series, every player on the roster of national champion Vanderbilt and all but one on the runner-up Michigan roster had played in a Perfect Game event.

EXTRA PARKING
Current parking spots are 219 at the
park.We are projecting to have around 750
ppl per day. This will be throughout the
day and NOT at one time. Sunday will be
less as its knockout Sunday for the most
part. Games are at different times. Atone time we expect 14‐16 teams MAX to be at the park which is approximately
150‐180 cars. I do feel this will be
sufficient with what we currently have
but we are open to adding more
parking. Willing to listen to options from
the city of Santa Fe Springs.

EXTRA PARKING OPTIONS

1. Removal of Coin Based Batting Cages. These are hardly used, and these are extremely old. We can demo this down and use that space for additional parking spaces. We can concrete that area and put additional parking which will be more than sufficient for our needs.2. Add additional Parking spots wher
e the city will allow us to concrete in grass areas for a
parking lot or assist us on it if they require that. In our educated opinion, the current parking is enough if both parking areas are used.

3. We are open to working with the local community on using parking lots tha t won’t be
occupied over the weekend. We will only need parking spaces if needed over the weekend only. Mid week will be totally fine as it will not be as busy at all compared to the weekends.

COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE
• We do plan on providing more opportunities to the local community. We will assist with keeping one field open for public use during the week for community use. • We want to try and provide more business to local vendors and use them as our preferred vendors where possible.
•• ZT is willing to provide
1 –2 weekend slots to the city to hold any events they wish, and we can assist them with holding these events for fund raising purposes. • We are open to holding our own tournament perhaps twice a year we can give them
a share of
our profits from the concession and give back to the community in support of the city. • We are open to helping the local community where necessary.

PARK INVESTMENT
ZT is committed to this project and providing quality baseball fields in California. We do plan on having regular tournaments, averaging approximately 45 weekends in the year which Perfect Game (Biggest tournament governing body) will host these tournaments.

Local teams around the area are welcome to attend and play within these tournaments that are scheduled.We will be investing into the upgrades of the park. We are currently engaging into an architect to give us preliminary work on this so we can have an open discussion on what we would like to do and request for approval.We are prepared to invest into the upgrades of the field as long as we are given a long‐term contract for the park.There are still many aspects of the park that are in complete. Lighting will be completed, and we will be redesigning the fields accordingly to ensure we use the space provided to us to its best use.

We will take responsibility of anything inside the fences that we agree upon which is baseballrelated.

WALK WAY
We plan on putting a walkway outside of the fences of the baseball park so the families who have been using the park will still have access to walk around the park. They will still have to therest of the park other than the baseball fields which will be fenced off accordingly.

We are more than open for suggestions from the city on their thoughts on this.

CONCLUSION
• Committed to working with the city on possible• Revenue share to the city of 1% from gross annually. • We will have to work on how much the cost will be to redevelop the park. Work in Progress. • We are open to spending more than what is presented in our RFP if given a longer‐term contract. • We will work with the city on Parking and find a place for additional parking with the city • Walkways will be added per request of the city
• We will support the local community as much as we can.
