APPLICATIONS
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 8.08.050 of the South El Monte Municipal Code, the City Council has the authority to grant up to eight fireworks stand permits per year to qualified organizations. Pursuant to 8.08.040, the City Administrator is required to investigate and report to the Council recommending for or against issuance of the requested permits.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council receive and file the report and grant permits to allow for four (4) firework stands and for which applications have been received in conjunction with the Fourth of July 2024. The Planning Division has reviewed the applications and find that they comply with Chapter 8.08 of the South El Monte Municipal Code.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will generate $125 per application; $100 of the application fee is a refundable deposit that will be retained until the booths are satisfactorily removed.
DISCUSSION: For the Fourth of July 2024 commemoration, the City received four (4) applications along with the corresponding $125.00 application fee from the vendors. All four of the applicants have previously received approvals. The following four are seeking approval for the 2024 firework permit:
1. Bobby Salcedo Memorial Foundation - 1954 Durfee Ave.
2. Knights of Columbus #13011 - 1625 Santa Anita Ave.

Section 8.08.050 of the Municipal Code states the City Council has the authority to grant up to eight fireworks stand permits per year to qualified organizations. Upon review of the four applications, Staff has determined that all four applications meet the required standards, and therefore qualify to receive a permit.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO.
24-176, APPROVING A SITE-HOST AGREEMENT WITH
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SOLUTIONS (EVCS) TO
INSTALL ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS FOR PUBLIC
USE
SUMMARY: Staff seeks City Council approval to enter into a site host agreement with Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions (EVCS) for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and systems in the Community Center's rear parking lot.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-176, approving a Site-Host Agreement with Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions for the installation of electric vehicle chargers for public use; and
2. Authorize City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute the agreement.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no immediate financial impacts. The estimated total investment for infrastructure and work is approximately $300,000. The Energy Coalition (TEC) will utilize grant funds received from the California Air Resources Board's Clean Mobility Options (CMO) Voucher Pilot Program to cover the expenses associated with the installation of the EV charging stations. No local match is required.
DISCUSSION: In October 2020, the City of South El Monte (City) endorsed The Energy Coalition's (TEC) application to participate in the California Air Resources Board's Clean Mobility Options (CMO) Voucher Pilot Program. This program aims to enhance access to clean transportation and expand zero-emission mobility choices for disadvantaged and low-income communities. CMO provides funding for mobility projects that increase residents’ access to key destinations by providing various clean transportation options.
In 2021, TEC received notification that its application had been approved for funding by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). However, due to an unforeseen increase in
the cost of insurance, TEC was compelled to postpone the project until additional funding could be secured. In November 2023, TEC successfully secured an additional $500,000 from CARB to meet the required project total of $1,500,000. Alongside TEC, the grant enables the City to collaborate with Active San Gabriel Valley (ActiveSGV) and Mobility Development, leveraging their expertise to launch an Electric Carshare Program and to install eight public Level-2 chargers.
The Energy Coalition (TEC) selected Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions (EVCS) to provide a full-service turnkey EV charger installation solution, managing the purchase, installation, operation, and ongoing maintenance of eight Level-2 pay-for-use chargers in the Community Center’s rear parking lot. EVCS boasts a robust network, currently operating over 800 Level-2 and 400 DC Fast Chargers across 220 locations. To proceed with the installation, a site-host agreement with EVCS is necessary. The agreement term is five years. The estimated total investment for infrastructure and work (prevailing wage) is approximately $300,000. Payment to EVCS will be facilitated through grant funds received by TEC. There is no local match requirement from the City. The estimated completion timeframe ranges from 18-30 months.
Through negotiations with EVCS, staff secured the following additional key agreement provisions:
• EVCS assumes 100% of the maintenance obligation over the five-year contract term.
• City to claim 30% of generated carbon credits in contract years three through five. • As a site host, the City will receive revenue sharing at a rate of $0.05 per kWh used from EVCS.
Additionally, significant benefits include:
• Advancing the City’s desire to transition to a sustainable energy future. • Leveraging existing grant fund opportunities.
• Turn-key EV charging station installation, minimizing impact on City resources and staff.
• EVCS to handle 100% of maintenance for the duration of the agreement.
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute a site-host agreement with Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions (EVCS). This agreement pertains to the installation of eight publicly accessible, pay-for-use EV Charging Stations in the Community Center’s rear parking lot located at 1530 Central Avenue, South El Monte, CA 91733.

SITE HOST AGREEMENT
This Site Host Agreement (hereafter the “Agreement”) is effective as of (hereafter the “Effective Date”) by and between EV Charging Solutions, Inc., a California corporation with its principle place of business at 11800 Clark Street, Arcadia, California 91006 (hereafter “EVCS”), and The City of South El Monte with its principal place of business located at 1415 Santa Anita Avenue South El Monte, CA 91733 (hereafter “Site Host”).

b) Preparation of the Property and installation of the Equipment at the location(s) approved, specified and identified by Site Host (the “Project Site”) and performed by qualified and licensed contractor(s) in accordance with local codes, permitting, and inspection requirements, as detailed in Exhibit B. Once funding is reserved and further feasibility and recommendations are made by EVCS’ electrical contractor in accordance with Site Host’s written approval, the Parties shall further specify the approved location(s) and Site design by mutual written agreement on Exhibit B; c) Payment of all costs of its contractors associated with the delivery, site preparation, installation, and setup of the Equipment at the Project Site; d) In EVCS’ sole discretion, design, installation, wiring, connection and integration of the charging system, consumption/use meters, and related equipment into the public power grid in a manner sufficient to allow operation of the charging station(s) and the ongoing metering of power usage from each charging port; e) Ongoing maintenance/repairs of the Equipment for the term of the Agreement; f) All necessary communications, instructions, and network systems to facilitate public use of the Equipment to charge electric vehicles; g) Periodic reports to Site Host on the utilization of the Equipment.
2. Site Host General Obligations
Site Host shall undertake the following, at Site Host’s sole expense:
a) Provide full, complete and unfettered access to EVCS for the placement, use, and operation of the Equipment at the Project Site for the term of this Agreement; b) A five thousand dollar ($5,000) refundable deposit (hereafter “Refundable Deposit”) to EVCS is waived.
c) Provides the necessary temporary construction access for EVCS and its contractors for preparation of the Project Site and for installation of the Equipment; d) Provides necessary ongoing utility easements and /or access for installation, usage, and maintenance of power lines, conduits, meters and Equipment;
[3]
ATTACHMENT B
e) Allow full, complete and unfettered ongoing access to the Project Site and Equipment in order for EVCS to collect, use, and distribute data for the term of the Agreement;
f) Will not knowingly allow the Equipment to be, and will take reasonable steps to prevent the Equipment from being opened, accessed, modified, or repaired by anyone other than EVCS or its licensed contractors;
g) Will not sell, alienate, hypothecate, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise pledge the Equipment;

j) Will not, and will not permit or allow any third party to, uninstall the Equipment; k) Allow EVCS and its approved contractors full, complete and unfettered access to the Project Site for installation, maintenance, repair, replacement and approved deinstallation of the Equipment; l) Cause the Project Site to be maintained in a clean, safe, and orderly condition, utilizing at least the same standard as to which other areas at the Property that are under the Site Host's control are maintained;
m) Assign to EVCS all right, title and interest in and to all and any rebates that Site Host may receive relating to the Equipment, and/or this Agreement; including, but not limited to, (a) rebates or other payments based in whole or in part on the cost or size of equipment, (b) performance-based incentives paid as periodic payments, (c) tax credits, grants or benefits, and (d) any other attributes, commodities, revenue streams or payments, in each of (a) through (d) under any present or future law, standard or program and whether paid by a utility, private entity or any governmental, regulatory or administrative authority;

[4]
ATTACHMENT B
o) Assign EVCS all right, title and interest in and to the enrollment of the Equipment into a demand response program and any and all economic benefit arising from such an enrollment. If demand response program benefits credits the Site Host utility bill, the utility bill credit will be used to offset cost of electricity described in paragraph 4 and subchapter d (4.d.) and demand charges described in paragraph 4 and subchapter e (4.e.) and if the demand response credits are in excess of demand charges and cost of electricity, EVCS can request Site Host for reimbursement of such excess. The Site Host agrees to issue such a reimbursement within thirty (30) days of request by EVCS;
p) Shall fully cooperate and promptly communicate with EVCS during the entire time period required by EVCS to complete the preparation of the Project Site and the installation of the Equipment. Site Host understands and acknowledges that EVCS will expend a significant amount of time, resources and effort to assess the Project Site, secure funding for the installation of the Equipment, and initiate engineering and design for the Equipment. Site Host understands and acknowledges that the timeframe for completion of the Equipment installation is in part dependent on third parties, such as utility providers, rebate and permitting authorities and grant organizations, and thus the amount of time it takes to complete installation of the Equipment at the Project Site is often outside of EVCS’ control. Thus, Site Host agrees that its cooperation as described above is of the essence of this Agreement, and the breach of these provisions shall be a material breach that shall cause substantial harm to EVCS;
q) Provide EVCS with prompt notification of the sale or transfer of the Project Site, which notice shall include current contact information of the buyer or transferee.
3. Revenue Sharing

a) The Equipment installed by EVCS is intended to generate revenue through the patronage of customers utilizing the Equipment placed with the Site Host. b) EVCS shall, in its discretion, determine the price/rate at which electricity shall be sold to consumers utilizing the Equipment.
c) EVCS will collect the proceeds generated from the sale of electricity from the Equipment placed with the Site Host and pay Site Host $0.05 (five cents) for each kWh of electricity sold to customers utilizing Level II Equipment, plus 100% of the cost of electricity utilized by the Equipment; in the event the Site Host is responsible to pay for the cost of such electricity usage. Site Host may, in Site Host’s discretion, offer certain customers free or discounted charging rates, provided, however, that EVCS will offset any revenue share amounts owed to Site Host by an amount proportionate to the reduction in revenue caused by such discounts. In the event there is a balance owed from Site Host to EVCS as a result of such discounts, Site Host shall remit payment to
[5]

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.h.
DATE: May 28, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: John Poehler, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO REJECT THE SOLE
BID RECEIVED FOR SANITARY SEWER CLOSED-CIRCUIT
TELEVISION (CCTV) AND CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND
ASSIGN THE SEWER CONDITION ASSESSMENT TO THE
CITY’S ENGINEERING DIVISION FOR FURTHER
EVALUATION
SUMMARY: The City received only one proposal for the Sanitary Sewer Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) and Condition Assessment. Staff recommends rejecting the received proposal and assigning the sewer condition assessment to the City’s Engineering Division for further analysis.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council reject the single proposal received and allow the City’s Engineering Division to conduct a further assessment of the City’s sewer condition. This assessment will involve utilizing past studies conducted by the City, along with county data, to gain a better understanding of the sewer's current condition.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this action.
DISCUSSION: On March 12, 2024, the City Council approved the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Sanitary Sewer Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) and Condition Assessment. The intent of the RFP was to select a qualified firm to provide professional services for the Sanitary Sewer CCTV and Condition Assessment Services for approximately 231,504 linear feet or 43.8 miles of sewer pipes, generally 8” diameter Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP), pipe size range from 6” to 15” in diameter within the City limits.
On April 10, 2024, staff received one proposal from Houston and Harris, PCS, Inc., offering to conduct a Sanitary Sewer CCTV and Condition Assessment for $458,377.92.
Following a thorough review, Public Works Staff concluded that there is already sufficient data available to assess the current condition of the sewers. The City’s Engineering Division will utilize a combination of past city sewer assessments and county data to
determine the current sewer condition. Upon completion of the assessment, the City’s Public Works Staff will assess the need for further analysis of the sewer and will prepare a Request for Proposals accordingly.
Staff recommends that City Council reject the single proposal received and assign the sewer condition assessment to the City’s Engineering Division for further evaluation of the City’s sewer condition.

Agenda Item No. 7.i.
DATE: May 28, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Ariana De La Cruz, Director of Community Services SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO.
24-177, APPROVING SUBAWARD AGREEMENT NUMBER
ENP242509 WITH COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AGING AND
DISABILITY DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF SOUTH EL
MONTE FOR ELDERLY NUTRITION PROGRAM SERVICES
SUMMARY: The agreement, Subward number ENP 242509 by and between the County of Los Angeles Aging and Disability Department ("County") and the City of South El Monte ("City") for Elderly Nutrition Programs ("Agreement") will provide funding for the City's Elderly Nutrition Program Services from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 with the option to extend for three (3) additional one (1) year terms.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-177, approving agreement Subward Number ENP 242509 by and between the County of Los Angeles Aging and Disability Department and the City of South El Monte for Elderly Nutrition Program Services from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025; and
2. Authorize City Manager or designee to execute agreement.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Older American Act Fund (Fund 06) will budget an amount not-to-exceed $336,000.00 for fiscal ("FY") 2024-2025. This amount includes $312,100 from Older Americans Act ("OAA") Title III C-1, $22,900.00 from OAA Title III C-2, and $1,000.00 from OAA Title III B. The General Fund match of approximately 15% will be budgeted in the General Fund for FY2024-2025.
DISCUSSION: The City has provided lunch meals for seniors over the age of 60 and disabled individuals through the Congregate Meals Program and Home-Delivered Meals Program (collectively “Programs”) for more than twenty-five (25) years. The Elderly Nutrition Program is administered under the guidelines of the Federal Older Americans Act, which offers meals that meet USDA dietary guidelines and are offered at the Senior Center and to home-bound individuals. Although the Programs do not require participants
to pay for meals, a suggested donation ranging between $1.75 – $3.00 per meal is appreciated.
The Board of Supervisors approved the County to enter into an Elderly Nutrition Program Subaward with the City with the purpose of utilizing baseline funding to provide contracted OAA Title III C-1, OAA Title III C-2, and Title III B services for FY 2024 - 2025.
The County contributes to the City’s Elderly Nutrition Program Services, which offers lunch meals to seniors and provides an important opportunity for social contact and targets seniors most in need. The Congregate Meals Program serves meals in a group setting at the South El Monte Senior Center and meals are coordinated with other social services such as transportation, educational presentations, health screenings, and recreation and wellness programs. This valuable program not only delivers a daily nutritious meal, but also serves as a mechanism to check up on the client, thereby providing additional safety inspection and furthering the ability for the aging participant to continue to age in a place.
The Agreement will provide funding through the County of Los Angeles Aging and Disability Department to continue serving seniors on site and home-bound meals. The Agreement is for a term of one (1) year, from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 with the option to extend three (3) additional one (1) year terms.

advance written notice of its decision to alter

are provided by either Subrecipient or nonFederal entities without charge to the Program Services for which they are donated; it is the
value of non-cash contributions donated to
support Program Services. In-kind contributions
typically take the form of the value of personnel,
goods and/or services which may include
donations of volunteer services, space,
equipment, etc. and this value is determined by
using the fair market value method. Using sales
of comparable property or the cost of
comparable services is a method which can be

cases where the kinds of skills involved are not
found in other activities of the organization then
the salary equivalent must be determined by

using the salaries paid for similar work in the
labor market in which Subrecipient competes for
such skills.
5.13 DEFAULT METHOD OF PAYMENT: DIRECT DEPOSIT OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS
TRANSFER
5.13.1 County, at its sole discretion, has determined that the most efficient and secure default form of payment for goods and/or services provided under an agreement/Subaward (that is, "Contract") with County will be Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or direct deposit, unless an alternative method of payment is deemed appropriate by the Auditor-Controller (A-C).

5.13.4 At any time during the duration of the Contract, Contractor may submit a written request for an exemption to this requirement.
