City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.b.

DATE: December 10, 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 OF RESOLUTION 24-244, ENTERING INTO A GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE U.S.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
(HUD) FOR THE MERCED AVENUE GREENWAY PROJECT
(PHASE II)
SUMMARY: The Merced Avenue Greenway is currently under construction to enhance the City's ability to clean and capture stormwater, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigate the urban heat island effect. It will also provide safe active transit connections to local parks, schools, and river access. The northern end of the project (Phase II, from Rush St. to Fern St.) is currently in the design phase and is expected to go out to bid for construction in July 2025.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-244, entering into the 2023 U.S. HUD Community Project Funding Program Agreement ($3,000,000); and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute the Agreement.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this action. The Federal grant award of $3,000,000 will support the overall construction of Phase II of the Merced Avenue Greenway North Corridor. Staff will return to the City Council to establish a final project budget and to request the release of a notice of bids for construction.

DISCUSSION: As long-term partners in the Merced Avenue Greenway Project, the nonprofit organizations—Council for Watershed Health, Active SGV, and Climate Resolve— collaborated with the City to develop and submit a series of grant applications in Spring 2023. These applications aim to support the construction of Phase II of the project – North Corridor (currently estimated cost - $11,918,000) as well as engagement, monitoring, technical assistance, and training activities around implementation. The City highlighted the community-driven and “multi-benefit” aspects of the project (e.g., increasing

groundwater recharge, improving water quality, creating public green-space and transportation corridors, and expanding urban forests) to leverage grant opportunities across multiple State, Federal, and County resources.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Project Funding Program (CPF) is part of the larger Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328 - the FY2023 Act). Congress made $3 billion in grant funding available under this Economic Development Initiative (EDI) for congressionally directed spending. This appropriation was made through U.S. Senator Alex Padilla’s office. CPF grants provide investment in a wide variety of projects such as housing, homelessness prevention, workforce training, public facilities, parks, resilience planning and other critical infrastructure and services.

This innovative Greenway partnership between the City of South El Monte (as the lead entity) and non-profit/community-based organizations include: Council for Watershed Health (CWH)—A 501(c)3 non-profit organization with experience in watershed resource planning using GIS, green infrastructure, environmental assessment, and community engagement. CWH understands the complexities of engaging multiple City agencies, residents, and project stakeholders on large and complex infrastructure projects. It has technical expertise in the design and construction of public right-of-way green infrastructure and stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) projects. CWH serves as the project lead on water resource issues as they pertain to the operations and maintenance of green infrastructure elements, pre- and post-construction project performance monitoring and reporting, and the use of native plants and climateappropriate plants in urban landscape projects.

ActiveSGV—A 501(c)3 community-based nonprofit organization focused on community, open streets, transit improvements, green infrastructure, and advocacy for a more sustainable, equitable and livable San Gabriel Valley. ActiveSGV staff has a long history of working with community residents in the City of South El Monte and understands the needs of its members. ActiveSGV will serve as the lead technical advisor on community engagement and stewardship on the greenway. As is their role for the Phase I – southern corridor, ActiveSGV staff will continue to help develop unified messaging and galvanize local support through information sharing about integrated water management and parallel community benefits.

Climate Resolve—A Los Angeles-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating practical solutions to meet climate challenges. Climate Resolve is a national leader in building collaborations to implement regional climate initiatives, developing communication strategies that make local climate impacts relatable to people. It will be integral to this project in sharing and contextualizing the climate science that results from this effort with policy-makers and other local leaders to develop workable climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. It serves as the technical lead on heat island mitigation monitoring and climate resiliency education.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-244, which would authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute all grant documents, including applications, agreements, amendments, and payment requests Staff report prepared by Andrés González, Senior Public Works Analyst, in collaboration with staff from the Council for Watershed Health.

APPENDIX 1 – Project Narrative

In addiHon to providing improvements to the Merced Avenue Corridor, upon compleHon of Phase II, the project will provide a conHnuous green-street gateway connecHng the City of El Monte and the Rio Hondo bike trail to the north with the WhiYer Narrows RecreaHon Area, a 1,492-acre park located within South El Monte’s city limits on the south end of the corridor.

WhiYer Narrows is one of Los Angeles County’s largest and most popular recreaHon areas, serving as a major flood control facility as well as wildlife habitat and open space.

Funding from this Community Project Funding (CPF) grant will cover a porHon of the following implementaHon costs of the project including but not limited to project management, construcHon management, community engagement and stewardship outreach, A/E bid and award support, A/E construcHon support, construcHon costs including site development, stormwater collecHon and treatment features, porous pavement, bikeway improvements and temporary traffic control.

This project is a component of the 2014 San Gabriel Valley Bike Master Plan, a comprehensive planning document that guides the development of bicycle infrastructure projects, programs and policies. The project will serve as a pilot effort at developing design standards for future urban street retrofits in Los Angeles County to include climate change resilient stormwater management Best Management PracHces (BMPs) and urban greening elements.

The project is consistent with the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Enhanced Watershed Management Program (ULAR EWMP), of which the City of South El Monte is a parHcipaHng member. The ULAR EWMP provides a detailed implementaHon strategy for water quality improvement inclusion of environmental, aestheHc, recreaHonal, water supply and/or other community enhancements, and specifically calls for development and implementaHon of green streets.

The purpose of this project is to implement the final .55 miles of greenway North of Rush Street as Phase II of the greater 1.1-mile improvement project along Merced Avenue between Fern Street and Lerma Road, a highly urbanized and severely underserved community located in the North Corridor Merced Avenue Greenway Project Narrative The North Corridor Merced Avenue Greenway Project, is Phase II of the full 1.1-mile greenway between Lerma Road and Fern Street, represenHng the remaining .55 mile stretch north of Rush Street. ConstrucHon of Phase I - South of Rush to Lerma Road (.65 miles) is currently underway and is anHcipated to be completed by the end of 2024. The project in its totality aims to improve stormwater management and water quality, decrease flood risk, increase vegetaHve c over including habitat restoraHon, improve acHve transportaHon through improved pedestrian and bike access and mobility. The project focuses on mulHple retrofits for the corridor and implements surface and sub-surface Best Management PracHces (BMP) and structural water treatment components within the design to manage flows from the watershed. The project has a significant community outreach component and encourages ongoing educaHonal and project development parHcipaHon by community members, the key benefactors of the proposed project.

APPENDIX 1

San Gabriel Valley. This project will construct the remaining improvements in the corridor to promote redevelopment for mixed-use acHviHes, including stormwater infrastructure. The project also creates opportuniHes to promote community health and safety through effecHve community outreach and engagement. By leveraging mulHple efforts and resources, this project demonstrates how a partnership between smaller ciHes, non-governmental organizaHons, and community groups can provide a model for other jurisdicHons that may not have the capacity, funding, and/or experHse to oversee these types of green infrastructure projects. By having engaged the community in the design process and conHnuing outreach and stewardship programs is essenHal to maintain and build support amongst residents, visitors, commuters, and business owners alike. The design reflects the values of the community and stakeholders seeking the benefits from the transformaHon of an industrial roadway corridor into a corridor that is not only safe for cyclists and pedestrians but is aestheHcally pleasing and enjoyable.

Project goals include managing street surface flows and meeHng water quality standards which are increasingly challenging in developed urban areas. While there are regulaHons that require certain management pracHces on new and redeveloped infrastructure, there is lible incenHve to retrofit the exisHng infrastructure that covers most of the urbanized area. Therefore, a neighborhood-scale project like Merced Avenue Greenway is intended to provide a real-world model of watershed-based improvement project that integrates many ongoing efforts in the region to address flood management, water quality and habitat restoraHon.

Water Quality The primary goal of this project is to improve water quality within the Merced Avenue Corridor and downstream receiving waters through the implementaHon of surface and subsurface ready green infrastructure retrofits and naHve revegetaHon Low Impact Development (LID) and BMPs. A key component of this project is to demonstrate how stormwater BMPs can be incorporated into exisHng residenHal and industrial infrastructure.

Upon compleHon, the project will serve as a model for future LID/BMP retrofit techniques and development.

Ac.ve Transporta.on The project will improve pedestrian and bike mobility and safety by implemenHng acHve transportaHon improvements throughout the corridor. Recent data shows that 128 people are seriously injured or killed each year in South El Monte due to motor vehicle collisions1. In the last 10 years there have been 8 collisions involving bikes or pedestrians on Merced Avenue. Improved pedestrian faciliHes, traffic calming, and new bike faciliHes on Merced Avenue, with a preference for a protected bike facility, will promote public health, support local commercial districts, encourage community connecHon, and improve life for all.

Urban Heat Island Effect This project seeks to implement strategies aimed at reducing urban heat island effect by increasing planHng areas and permeable pavements, increasing tree canopy, and adding high albedo hardscape surface coaHngs. Urban Heat Islands (UHI) occur when ciHes replace natural land cover with pavement, buildings, and other hardscapes that both absorb and retain heat. These planned intervenHons are intended to reduce dayHme surface temperatures and improve nighYme cooling, as well as, lower air polluHon levels associated with UHI’s all of which can significantly affect human health.

If the total value of the Grantee’s currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of this Federal award, then during that period of time the Grantee must maintain the currency of information reported to the System for Award Management (SAM) that is made available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) about civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings described in paragraph 2 of this award term and condition. This is a statutory requirement under section 872 of Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by section 3010 of Public Law 111-212, all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available.

2. Proceedings About Which Grantee Must Report

(iii) The requirement in this award term and condition to disclose information about the proceeding does not conflict with applicable laws and regulations.

3. Reporting Procedures
During any period of time when the Grantee is subject to the requirement in paragraph 1 of this award term and condition, the Grantee must enter in the SAM Entity Management area the information that SAM requires about each proceeding described in paragraph 2 of this award term and condition. The Grantee does not need to submit the information a second time under assistance awards that the Grantee received if the Grantee already provided the information through SAM because the Grantee was required to do so under Federal procurement contracts that the Grantee was awarded.

4. Reporting Frequency
During any period of time when the Grantee is subject to the requirement in paragraph 1 of this award term and condition, the Grantee must report proceedings information through SAM for the most recent five-year period, either to report new information about any proceeding(s) that the Grantee has not reported previously or affirm that there is no new information to report.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.c.

DATE: December 10, 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 OF APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 24- 245 APPROVING BLANKET AUTHORITY TO FILE

APPLICATIONS FOR MEASURE A FUNDING AND THE

MEASURE A ANNUAL ALLOCATION GRANT AGREEMENT

WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY REGIONAL PARK AND

OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
SUMMARY: In November 2016, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure A, the Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks, Open Space, Beaches, Rivers Protection, and Water Conservation Measure. Measure A funds are allocated annually to eligible public agencies, including the City of South El Monte, to support projects that enhance open spaces, recreational facilities, and environmental conservation. The City’s 2024-2025 portion of the annual special tax on property is estimated to be $97,552.36.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-245 to approve Blanket Authority to File Applications for Measure A Funding and the Measure A Annual Allocation Grant Agreement with the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) to receive Measure A Program funding; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute the agreement.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City of South El Monte will receive approximately $97,552.36 annually in Measure A funds. Additionally, the City has an existing fund balance of approximately $616,987.56 in Measure A funds. These funds are designated for enhancing open spaces, recreational facilities, and promoting environmental conservation
DISCUSSION: On November 8, 2016, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure A, the Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks, Open Space, Beaches, Rivers Protection, and Water Conservation Measure. Measure A funds are allocated annually to eligible public agencies, including the City of South El Monte, to support projects that enhance open

spaces, recreational facilities, and environmental conservation. Measure A provides funding through both annual allocation programs and competitive grant programs. The allocated funds are awarded on a per capita basis based on population, while competitive grants are awarded on a competitive basis during set grant cycles.

To access Measure A funding, RPOSD requires eligible public agencies to execute an Annual Allocation Grant Agreement. This Agreement outlines the terms, conditions, and administrative procedures for using Measure A funds. Additionally, adopting blanket authority to file applications for Measure A funding streamlines the process, allowing staff to efficiently apply for eligible grant opportunities without requiring separate City Council approval for each application. Grant opportunities under Measure A are released periodically. By approving blanket authority, the City can proactively file applications for eligible projects and programs without delay. This ensures timely submission and maximizes funding opportunities to enhance the City’s open spaces and recreational facilities.

The City intends to use Measure A funds to support the following priority projects:
• Mary Van Dyke Basketball Court Improvements
• Thienes Gateway Improvements
• New Temple Park Community Center Project
These projects align with the City’s goals to enhance recreational facilities and community spaces, improve accessibility, and provide high-quality amenities for residents.

Staff recommends the City Council to adopt Resolution No 24-245, approving the Blanket Authority to File Applications for Grant Funds from the Los Angeles County Regional Park And Open Space District for Measure A Annual Allocation Grant Agreement. This will enable the City to access Measure A funds and proceed with the planned projects, benefiting the community by enhancing parks and recreational facilities.

11 Article 29: Conflict of Interest
A. No RPOSD employee whose position with RPOSD enables such employee to influence the award of this Agreement or any subsequent NTP, and no spouse or economic dependent of such employee, shall be employed in any capacity by Grantee or have any other direct or indirect financial interest in this Agreement. No officer or employee of Grantee who may financially benefit from the performance of work hereunder shall in any way participate in RPOSD's approval, or ongoing evaluation, of such work, or in any way attempt to unlawfully influence RPOSD's approval or ongoing evaluation of such work.

B. Grantee shall comply with all conflict of interest laws, ordinances, and regulations now in effect, or hereafter to be enacted, during the term of this Agreement. Grantee warrants that it is not now aware of any facts that create a conflict of interest.

Failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 30 shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

Article 30: Validity
If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

Article 31: Waiver
No waiver by RPOSD of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other breach or of such provision. Failure of RPOSD to enforce at any time, or from time to time, any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver thereof. The rights and remedies set forth in this Article shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Agreement.

Article 32: Long Term Obligations
A. With the written consent of RPOSD, Grantee may transfer property acquired with funds granted under this Agreement to another public agency; to a nonprofit organization authorized to acquire real property for park, wildlife, recreation, community, open space, or gang prevention and intervention purposes; or to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, National Park Service, or the US Forest Service, at de minimis cost, provided that approval by RPOSD is obtained prior to the

12 change and any such successor to the recipient assumes the obligations imposed under the Measure and to accept assignment of this Agreement. Under these conditions, Grantee shall not be required to reimburse RPOSD. Any such transfer must require the nonprofit or public entity acquiring the property to enter into a written contract with RPOSD and agree to comply with the terms of Measure A and this Agreement.

B. Grantee agrees to provide for reasonable public access to lands acquired in fee with grant monies, including the provision of parking and public restrooms, except when that access may interfere with resource protection.

Grantee agrees that property and facilities acquired or developed with Measure A funds as per this Agreement shall be available for inspection upon RPOSD’s request, in perpetuity.

D. Grantee agrees to maintain and operate in perpetuity the property acquired, developed, rehabilitated or restored with grant monies, subject to the provisions of Measure A and this Agreement.

E. Grantee agrees to take all reasonable measures to actively oppose, at its sole expense, any proposal or attempt to act upon, exercise, or assert claims as to reserved rights to the grant funded property that are contrary to the purposes of Measure A, GAM and/ or this Agreement, including but not limited to oil, gas, and other hydrocarbon substances; minerals; water; and/or riparian resources. The above notwithstanding, Grantee has no obligation hereunder to initiate litigation challenging any project or proposal based on a reserved right lawfully recorded against the grant funded property in real property records maintained by the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office.

Article 33: Breach
A. Grantee agrees that compliance with the terms of this Agreement will have significant benefits to Los Angeles County and its constituents. Because such benefits exceed the amount of funds furnished under these provisions, Grantee agrees that any breach would result in incalculable loss, and therefore, any payment by the Grantee to RPOSD of an amount equal to the amount of the funds would be inadequate compensation.

In the event that Grantee breaches any of the terms, covenants, representations, or conditions of this Agreement, RPOSD may elect to enforce any and all remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation, any of the following:

1. Prior to reimbursement of funds:
a. Withdrawal of an approved NTP;

2. After payment (partial or full) of a specific project approved through an NTP:
a. Seek specific performance of Grantee’s obligations under this Agreement;

13 b. Receive reimbursement of grant funds awarded under the NTP.

B. If RPOSD brings an action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, Grantee shall be responsible to pay RPOSD’s attorney’s fees and costs, including expert witness costs, if RPOSD prevails in said action.

C. The foregoing remedies are cumulative and may be exercised independently or in combination and are not exclusive to one another or to any other remedies available at law or in equity. In the event RPOSD must pursue any remedy hereunder and is the substantially prevailing party, RPOSD shall be awarded its costs and reasonable legal fees, including costs of collection.

Article 34: NTP Termination
RPOSD may withdraw, in whole or in part, an NTP and/or terminate this Agreement, and/or seek a refund of payments already made if RPOSD determines in its discretion that:

1. Facts have arisen, or situations have occurred, that fundamentally alter the expectations of the parties or make the purposes for an NTP or grant funds approved as contemplated infeasible or impractical;

2. Any material modifications in the scope or nature of a project have occurred from that which was presented in the NTP and such material modifications have not received the prior written approval of RPOSD;

3. Any statement or representation made by Grantee in the NTP, the grant status update report, and back up documents, or is otherwise untrue, inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect;

4. The results of RPOSD’s review of the grant status update report are not acceptable to RPOSD;

5. The project described in the NTP will not or cannot be completed by the NTP Performance Period or any extensions granted thereto or delays in the implementation of the project have occurred which, in RPOSD’s judgment, make the project impracticable;

6. Title to or encumbrances against the property are or become such that the Grantee is unable to complete the project described in the NTP and/or the property becomes unavailable for public use.

Article 35: Regulatory Requirements
A. Grantee will not enter into any contract, agreement, lease or similar arrangement, or agree to any amendment or modification to an existing contract, agreement, lease or

14 similar arrangement, that in RPOSD’s opinion, violates federal regulations restricting the use of funds from tax-exempt bonds. Any proposed operating contracts, leases, concession contracts, management contracts or similar arrangements with nongovernmental entities that restrict the public use of the project site for (30) thirty consecutive days or more, must be reviewed by RPOSD prior to awarding as they relate to the project or project site in perpetuity. Any such contracts in existence must be disclosed prior to construction.

B. Grantee (or its representative) shall comply as lead agency with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code, Section 21000, et. seq.

CEQA documents must be recorded with and stamped by the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder.

Grantee shall add RPOSD to the notification list for CEQA requirements as stated in the GAM.

C. Grantee and RPOSD will conform to the requirements of Government Code Section 7920.000, et seq. in making all documents relating to this Agreement, the grant obtained and all other related matters available for public review during regular business hours. If an NTP involves acquisition of property, however, both RPOSD and Grantee may withhold from public review any and all documents exempted under Section 7928.705, prior to completion of said acquisition.

D. If RPOSD is required to defend an action on a Public Records Act request for any of the contents of a Grantee’s submission under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Grantee agrees to defend and indemnify RPOSD from all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in any action or liability arising under, or related to, the Public Records Act.

E. In order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on any bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued for the purpose of providing the grant monies made available in this Agreement, Grantee covenants to comply with each applicable requirement of Section 103 and Sections 141 through 150, inclusive, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In furtherance of the foregoing covenant, Grantee hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of RPOSD, (a) permit the use of any portion of the project(s) by any private person or entity, other than on such terms as may apply to the public generally; or (b) enter into any contract for the management or operation of the project or any portion thereof, except with a governmental agency or a nonprofit corporation that is exempt from federal income taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

F. Grantee and each County lobbyist or County lobbying firm, as defined in Los Angeles County Code Section 2.160.010, retained by the Grantee, shall fully comply with the County Lobbyist Ordinance, Los Angeles County Code Chapter 2.160. Failure on the

15 part of Grantee or any County lobbyist or County lobbying firm to fully comply with the County Lobbyist Ordinance shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, upon which RPOSD may terminate or suspend this Agreement.

16 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Grantee and RPOSD have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the latter day, month and year written below.

ORDINANCE NO. 1275

AN ORDINANCE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
EL MONTE, ADDING CHAPTER 3.05 TO TITLE 3 OF THE

MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPOSE A TRANSACTIONS AND USE

TAX TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE CALIFORNIA

DEPARTMENT OF TAX AND FEE ADMINISTRATION

THE PEOPLE AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE DO HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Declarations. The People and the City Council find and declare as follows:

A Section 7285.9 of the Revenue & Taxation Code (the “Code”) authorizes the City to levy transactions and use taxes for general purposes that conform with the requirements of the Transactions and Use Tax Law (Section 7251 et seq. of the Code) (the “TUT Law”).

B. Section 7251.1 of the TUT Law provides that the combined rate of all transactions and use in any county may not exceed two percent.

C. Section 7285.92 of the Code provides that the authority of the City to impose a transaction and use tax is subject to this combined rate limitation.

D. Within the City of South El Monte, the County of Los Angeles currently levies transactions and use taxes at a combined rate of 1.25% that are subject to this combined rate limit.

E. The City currently levies transactions and use taxes at only 0.75% in combined rates.

F. Thus, under current law, until a County transactions and use tax that counts against the combined rate limit expires, the City is prevented from having an additional transactions and use tax come into effect.

G. In 2017, the voters of Los Angeles County approved Measure H, which imposed a 0.25% transactions and use tax within the City.

H. The Measure H tax will terminate by its own terms on September 30, 2027.

I. The County Board of Supervisors has placed on the November 5, 2024 ballot a measure, known as Measure A, that will terminate the Measure H tax in 2025.

J. This means that, no later than October 1, 2027, there will be room within the 2% combined rate limitation for a new 0.25% South El Monte transactions and use tax.

K. If a new 0.25% South El Monte transactions and use tax become effective, then the City and the County will each, within South El Monte, have taxes at a combined rate of 1% that are subject to the combined 2% limit.

L. By equalizing, within the City of South El Monte, the share of the 2% combined limit that is used by City taxes and the share that is used by County taxes, the new 0.25% tax would effectively be replacing the Measure H tax for purposes of the combined limit.

1275, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH EL MONTE, ADDING CHAPTER 3.05 TO TITLE 3

OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPOSE A TRANSACTIONS

AND USE TAX TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE CALIFORNIA

DEPARTMENT OF TAX AND FEE ADMINISTRATION
SUMMARY: At the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election, the voters adopted Measure SEM, which imposes a 0.25% transaction and use tax. Pursuant to state law, in order for this tax to become effective, the City Council must itself adopt the ordinance that imposes the tax.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff Recommends City Council:

1. Find that the adoption of the ordinance is not a "project" subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section §§21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guideline 15378(b)(4); and

2. Waive second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1275,Adding Chapter 3.05 to Title 3 of the Municipal Code to impose a Transactions and Use Tax to be administered by the California Department of Tax And Fee Administration.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: If the City Council approves the attached ordinance, the voter-approved 0.25% transactions and use tax will begin being collected on April 1, 2024. It is anticipated that the tax will raise approximately $1.6 million per year for the City.

DISCUSSION: Ordinance No. 1275 (the “Ordinance”) adds Chapter 3.05, known as the South El Monte Locally-Controlled Services Ordinance, to the City’s Municipal Code. This Chapter imposes a 0.25% transactions and use tax that will be administered for the City by the California State Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

On August 6, 2024, by a unanimous vote, the City Council introduced the Ordinance. On that same date, the City Council approved a resolution submitting the Ordinance to the voters at the November 5, 2025 General Municipal Election as Measure SEM, the “South El Monte Locally-Controlled Services Measure.”
At the General Municipal Election, the voters approved Measure SEM, and thereby adopted Ordinance No. 1275. Section 7285.9 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code requires that the tax ordinance also be approved by a two-thirds vote of the City Council. As the City Council has already introduced the Ordinance, staff recommend that the City Council now adopt the Ordinance.

The Ordinance was drafted so that the tax would begin collection upon the termination of the County’s Measure H Tax. Because the County’s Measure A was adopted at the November 5, 2024 election, the Measure H tax will terminate on March 31, 2025. Therefore, the tax imposed by the Ordinance would begin on April 1, 2025.

Staff Report jointly prepared by Special Counsel, Mark E. Mandell, City Clerk, Adrian Garcia, and Director of Finance, Masami Higa.

OF THE CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE, ADDING CHAPTER

3.05 TO TITLE 3 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPOSE A

TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX TO BE ADMINISTERED BY

THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TAX AND FEE

ADMINISTRATION

THE PEOPLE AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE DO HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Declarations. The People and the City Council find and declare as follows:

A Section 7285.9 of the Revenue & Taxation Code (the “Code”) authorizes the City to levy transactions and use taxes for general purposes that conform with the requirements of the Transactions and Use Tax Law (Section 7251 et seq. of the Code) (the “TUT Law”).

B. Section 7251.1 of the TUT Law provides that the combined rate of all transactions and use in any county may not exceed two percent.

C. Section 7285.92 of the Code provides that the authority of the City to impose a transaction and use tax is subject to this combined rate limitation.

D. Within the City of South El Monte, the County of Los Angeles currently levies transactions and use taxes at a combined rate of 1.25% that are subject to this combined rate limit.

E. The City currently levies transactions and use taxes at only 0.75% in combined rates.

F. Thus, under current law, until a County transactions and use tax that counts against the combined rate limit expires, the City is prevented from having an additional transactions and use tax come into effect.

G. In 2017, the voters of Los Angeles County approved Measure H, which imposed a 0.25% transactions and use tax within the City.

H. The Measure H tax will terminate by its own terms on September 30, 2027.

I. The County Board of Supervisors has placed on the November 5, 2024 ballot a measure, known as Measure A, that will terminate the Measure H tax in 2025.

J. This means that, no later than October 1, 2027, there will be room within the 2% combined rate limitation for a new 0.25% South El Monte transactions and use tax.

K. If a new 0.25% South El Monte transactions and use tax become effective, then the City and the County will each, within South El Monte, have taxes at a combined rate of 1% that are subject to the combined 2% limit.

L. By equalizing, within the City of South El Monte, the share of the 2% combined limit that is used by City taxes and the share that is used by County taxes, the new 0.25% tax would effectively be replacing the Measure H tax for purposes of the combined limit.

SECTION 2: Amendment. Chapter 3.05 is hereby added to Title 3 of the South El Monte Municipal Code to read as follows:
“Chapter 3.05 Locally-Controlled Services Transactions & Use Tax

3.05.010 Short Title

(i) the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing after the termination date of the Measure H Tax or

Agenda Item No. 9.c.

DATE: December 10, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Masami Higa, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 24-247,

AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE

AGREEMENTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

TAX & FEE ADMINISTRATION (CDTFA) FOR

IMPLEMENTATION OF A LOCAL TRANSACTIONS AND USE
TAX (MEASURE SEM); CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION
NO. 24-248 AUTHORIZING THE EXAMINATION OF
TRANSACTIONS & USE TAX RECORDS; AND AUTHORIZING

THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE & FILE ADDITIONAL

AGREEMENTS, LETTERS AND FORMS WITH THE CDTFA

AND OTHER APPROPRIATE STATE AGENCIES AS

REQUIRED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LOCAL

TRANSACTIONS & USE TAX (MEASURE SEM) AND TO TAKE

SUCH OTHER ACTIONS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE

LOCAL TRANSACTIONS & USE TAX (MEASURE SEM)
SUMMARY: Measure SEM, the City’s 0.25% transactions and use tax measure, was adopted by the voters at the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election. The new tax will be administered for the City by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. This item recommends that the City Council take the necessary actions to allow the Department of Tax and Fee Administration to administer the tax.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-247, authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) for the implementation of a local transaction and use tax (Measure SEM);

2. Adopt Resolution No. 24-248, authorizing City representatives and sales tax consultant to examine sales, transactions and use tax records pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7056; and

3. Authorize City Manager to complete, execute, file additional agreements, letters, and forms with the CDTFA and other appropriate state agencies as required for the implementation of the City’s local transactions and use tax, and to take such

other actions as may be necessary to implement the City’s local transactions and use tax.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: Measure SEM is expected to generate approximately $1,600,000 annually.

DISCUSSION: Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7265, the new tax is scheduled to become operative on April 1, 2025 and will be administered by the CDTFA.

The CDTFA requires that the City Council approve a resolution (Resolution No. 24-247) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Preparatory Agreement and an Administrative Agreement with the CDTFA for implementation of the new tax.

1. The Preparatory Agreement authorizes the CDTFA to do the necessary work to administer the tax. This includes work relating to developing procedures, programming for data processing, developing and adopting appropriate regulations, designing and printing forms, developing instructions for the CDTFA's staff and for taxpayers, and other necessary functions.

2. The Administrative Agreement authorizes the CDTFA to administer and implement the Measure SEM transactions and use (sales) tax. This includes administrative and operational functions, such as ensuring compliance with the guidelines established in the City's Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance, collecting funds from retailers, reviewing payment submissions for appropriateness, and remitting funds to the City.

These agreements are respectively attached within Exhibits A and B of the attached Resolution No. 24-247.

The CDTFA also requires that the City Council designate authorized representatives to examine the confidential sales, use and transactions tax records pertaining to taxes collected by CDTFA for the City by adopting Resolution No. 24-248.

The CDTFA performs all functions incident to the administration and collection of local sales, use and transactions taxes in the State of California. The proposed resolutions are required by CDTFA in order for the new tax to become operative on April 1, 2025, or the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing more than 110 days after the adoption of the tax ordinance.

The CDTFA may also require completion, execution, and filing of additional agreements, letters, and forms with the CDTFA and other appropriate state agencies as required for the implementation of the local transactions and use tax. These could include items such as a contract form for notifications and appeals, a media and registration request form, and an EFT authorization agreement.

Based on the forgoing, the City Council is therefore asked (1) to adopt Resolution Nos. 24-247 and 24-248 and (2) to authorize the City Manager to complete, execute, file additional agreements, letters, and forms with the CDTFA and other appropriate state agencies as required for the implementation of the City's local transactions and use tax, and to take such other actions as may be necessary to implement the City's local transactions and use tax.
