10.a. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

FUND (REIF) AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF) strategic framework prioritizes "Community Activation Use," focusing on the acquisition and improvement of distressed or underutilized parcels to create community hubs and attract investment. By utilizing debt financing and a "Net Cost" accounting model, the City can leverage this initial investment through financing to build a diversified portfolio of revenue-generating and civic assets while ensuring long-term property appreciation and tax-based growth. City staff proposes that the REIF be seeded with five million dollars ($5,000,000) transferred from the General Fund balance reserves and managed internally with City Council approving acquisitions, sales, and major expenses with semiannual reports on progress maintaining transparency, accountability, and alignment with community priorities.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council discuss and approve the following:

1. Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF) Management Plan; and

2. Establishment of the Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF) seeded with $5 million transferred from the General Fund balance reserves.

GENERAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

10.b. ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE CITY'S ELDERLY

NUTRITION PROGRAM

The City’s Elderly Nutrition Program provides essential congregate and home-delivered meals to residents aged 60 and older. Due to a combination of rising food costs, increased participation, and a reduction in external grant reimbursements, current funding is projected to be exhausted before the end of the fiscal year. The request of $75,000 is necessary to maintain current service levels and avoid the implementation of a waitlist or reduction in meals served to the seniors.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council discuss and consider the following two options:

1. Allocate additional funding in the amount of $75,000.00 from the General Fund to the Elderly Nutrition Program; or

2. Direct staff to reduce the number of meals served daily.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-019, approving Amendment 3 (Attachment A) to the agreement with Dudek for consulting services for the General Plan - EIR for Arts District Industrial West, for an amount not to exceed $165,000.

Councilmember Delgado summarized his item and stated for the record, “This organization has provided a number of outstanding athletes who have attended South El Monte High School, but more importantly, outstanding young men, and I’d like us to see to continue to work with this organization.”
Other discussion topics included all baseball organizations working collectively in figuring out a schedule, the status of the Brewers Baseball application, the Brewer’s inquiry of total costs per month and per season, their value to the community, the application process and meeting criteria to protect residents, enforcing policy, the Brewers donations vs. field damage, prioritizing South El Monte teams and working around them first, other sports organizations that have regional players instead of City players (ex: AYSO), the Brewer’s contributions to South El Monte High School CIF finalists, and requiring the financials for all sports teams to justify where all the waivers savings are going due to parents’ complaints of high sign-up costs.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10.a.

DATE: March 17, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: David De Vries, Director of Economic Development SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A REAL ESTATE

INVESTMENT FUND (REIF) AND MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUMMARY: The Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF) strategic framework prioritizes "Community Activation Use," focusing on the acquisition and improvement of distressed or underutilized parcels to create community hubs and attract investment. By utilizing debt financing and a "Net Cost" accounting model, the City can leverage this initial investment through financing to build a diversified portfolio of revenue-generating and civic assets while ensuring long-term property appreciation and tax-based growth. City staff proposes that the REIF be seeded with five million dollars ($5,000,000) transferred from the General Fund balance reserves and managed internally with City Council approving acquisitions, sales, and major expenses with semi-annual reports on progress maintaining transparency, accountability, and alignment with community priorities.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council discuss and approve the following:

1. Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF) Management Plan; and

2. Establishment of the Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF) seeded with $5 million transferred from the General Fund balance reserves.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: $5 million will be transferred from the General Fund balance reserves to the newly created Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF).

DISCUSSION: Staff is seeking Council consideration related to the "when" and "why" to purchase property under the specified circumstances and within the allocated budget. The Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF) Management Plan (Attachment A) is a strategic framework designed to utilize a designated Special Revenue Fund for the acquisition and leasing of real estate assets that are 1/2 acre or less. Unlike private sector investments driven by "Highest and Best Use," this platform prioritizes "Community Activation Use" to secure long-term asset appreciation while fulfilling vital public purposes.

• Market Gap: Traditional investors often overlook assets that do not maximize immediate profit and cash flow.
• The Activation Model: The City will prioritize acquisitions that act as "catalysts." By investing in underutilized or distressed sites, the City "activates" the area, fostering economic development and increasing the value of surrounding private properties, thereby strengthening the long-term property tax base. This includes conducting improvements and leasing spaces to tenants at a reasonable rate to allow the City to coordinate a tenant mix that drives the desired outcome (e.g., vision, goals, objectives, policies) for the area. Improvements will result in equity increases in property values that may be both above and below the actual costs of the improvements, but that these improvements and the forthcoming tenant mix will incentivize other investment in the surrounding area, resulting in further increases in property values for the acquired assets. The City's designated portion of retail sales tax is two percent (2%) and providing additional retail sales as well as property improvements through property valuation and property tax equates to increased direct financial long-term revenue for the City.

While traditional municipal reserves are held in liquid, low-yield instruments, real estate serves as a premier hedge against inflation. Over the last 50 years, real estate has proven to be a resilient, appreciating asset class ranging between 4.2 and 5 percent appreciation. This excludes equity built through financing existing loans, property improvements, increasing equity, and leases that can provide revenue.

This REIF allows the City to benefit from the appreciation of tangible assets while ensuring that the City's reserves remain in highly liquid, traditional financial instruments. The REIF cap of $5 million limits the City’s net exposure. When an asset generates revenue (Lease + Tax) and has associated costs (Debt Service + Operations), only the Net Cost for the asset is calculated against the REIF. This allows the City to leverage financing and revenue to purchase more assets than traditional cash purchases. Financing debt shall be preferred as feasible to maximize the purchase of multiple assets.

To ensure a diversified and impactful portfolio, investments will be focused on the following sectors involving small-scale lots not to exceed 1/2 acre in lot area:
• Designated Districts (e.g., Arts District, Entertainment District, Innovation District, Historic Downtown): Creating and preserving cultural and tourism hubs by acquiring commercial property (both industrial and retail) to activate and implement a district vision (e.g., conversions into restaurants, retail, makers, studio and gallery spaces) and to prevent the displacement of the creative economy.
• Commercial Retail Areas: Acquisition of distressed commercial areas (both industrial and retail) to curate essential and desired land uses (e.g., restaurants, retail, grocery stores, maker spaces) and provide affordable space for local entrepreneurs (e.g., small-business centers, coworking spaces, incubators, chefs, brewers).
• City Parks & Open Space: Strategic acquisition of land to address park deficiencies and improve community health.

• Civic Facilities: Development of multi-generational centers and community hubs that anchor neighborhoods (e.g., museum, library, amphitheater, art gallery, higher education, hospitals, park facilities in shopping areas).

To ensure the City maintains fiscal responsibility and adequate liquidity for emergency operations and debt service, the City shall maintain a cash balance of no less than 20 percent of the original $5 million, which equates to $1 million at any given time to ensure the ability to cover debt obligations and improvements during market downturns. An independent audit will be conducted per current policy to review the financial statements of the fund prepared by management of the Finance Department. Management was provided guidance and input from its independent auditor to create this Special Revenue Fund under best practices. The REIF complies with the City's Investment Policy and the Municipal Code.

1 REIF Fund Management Plan
I. Governance & Administration
The City of South El Monte shall serve as the primary administrator of the Real Estate Investment Fund (REIF), with oversight provided by the following entities:
• Fund Administrator: The City Manager (or designee) shall oversee day-to-day operations, property selection, negotiation of terms, property improvements, and leases. • Fiscal Oversight: The Finance Department shall manage the $5 million or $5M initial General Fund reserve transfer, handle debt service payments, and provide semi-annual financial reporting on the "Net Cost" of each asset (Performance Report). • Legislative Authority: The City Council retains final approval for all property acquisitions, financing agreements, and the eventual disposition (sale) of assets. The City Council will approve all expenses greater than City Manager’s authority.

II. Operational Framework
To maintain the fund's revolving nature, the City will adhere to a "Purchase-Activate-Harvest" cycle:

1. Acquisition: The City will target the purchase of properties less than ½ acre in lot area that can be improved and leased in accordance with the vision and goals of the underlying zone supporting and potentially creating an area of investment and a community hub. Initially, the City will focus on revenue generating assets (e.g., restaurants, retail, maker spaces) that can be sold to replenish the funds giving back the asset to private investors with tenants secured in the hopes that the established tenants will be maintained allowing the City to continue its pursuit of asset activation on additional properties. Later purchases can include non-revenue generating assets provided the losses will not result in a REIF less than 20% over time (liquidity floor). To ensure a diversified and impactful portfolio, investments will be focused on the following sectors:
o Designated Districts (e.g., Arts District, Entertainment District, Innovation District, Historic Downtown): Creating and Preserving cultural and tourism hubs

2 by acquiring commercial property (both industrial and retail) to activate and implement a district vision (e.g., conversions into restaurants, retail, makers, studio and gallery spaces) and to prevent the displacement of the creative economy.
o Commercial Retail Areas: Acquisition in distressed commercial areas (both industrial and retail) to curate essential and desired land uses (e.g., restaurants, retail, grocery stores, maker spaces) and provide affordable space for local entrepreneurs (e.g., small-business centers, coworking spaces, incubators, chefs, brewers).
o City Parks & Open Space: Strategic acquisition of land to address park deficiencies and improve community health.
o Civic Facilities: Development of multi-generational centers and community hubs that anchor neighborhoods (e.g., museum, library, amphitheater, art gallery, higher education, hospitals, park facilities in shopping areas).

2. Improvement: Tenant improvements (TIs) and site "activation" (e.g., conversions to restaurants, incubators, or civic or creative spaces) shall be paid by REIF capital or through equity financing when applicable.

3. Revenue Capture: Lease, incremental tax, and other revenues are funneled back into the REIF to offset debt service and operating expenses.

4. Strategic Harvest: Assets are sold to private investors once stabilized (typically Year 5– 10) to replenish the fund’s liquidity, capture equity gains, and invest and improve additional properties.

III. Fiscal Guardrails & Liquidity Management
The fund is governed by a 20% Liquidity Floor to protect the REIF:
• Maximum Exposure: The REIF is capped at a $5 million net exposure. While the total portfolio value may exceed this, the "Net Cost" (Annual Debt + OpEx - Revenue) across all active projects must not reduce the REIF to below $1 million (20% of the REIF initial portfolio value aka Liquidity Floor).

3 • Cash Reserves: The City shall maintain a cash balance of no less than 20% of the original $5 million ($1 million) at any given time to ensure the ability to cover debt obligations and improvements during market downturns.
• Financing Preference: Fixed-rate financing (15-year amortization) is the preferred methods to maximize leverage and number property improvements and allow for simultaneous district-wide activations.

To calculate the Net Cost for a specific property asset, the following calculation shall be utilized:

Net Cost = Annual Debt Service (Purchase & Financing Expenses + Annual Operating Expenses) minus Gross Revenue (Gross Lease Revenue + Incremental Tax Revenue including property and sales taxes)
• If the result is positive: That amount is "deducted" from the available REIF. • If the result is negative (Profit): That amount is "added" to the available REIF meaning that the asset is more than "self-sustaining" and adds to the City's REIF rather than consuming it.

Further, the goal is to maintain a cash balance (excluding equity) in the REIF between 20 and 100% of the original REIF balance despite equities over time the REIF balance may exceed tens of millions of dollars.

IV. Legal & Compliance Standards
As administrator, the City will ensure all activities comply with California state law:
• Surplus Land Act (SLA): Before any qualifying asset is sold or leased for more than 15 years, the City will follow SLA noticing requirements, prioritizing affordable housing or park space where applicable.
• Public Purpose Doctrine: All investments must be documented as "Community Activation Use," prioritizing economic development, blight removal, or public service over pure speculative profit.
• Transparency: A semi-annual REIF Performance Report will be presented to the public, detailing the portfolio’s net fiscal position, equity growth, and community impact metrics.

4 V. REIF 30-Year Goal
The REIF 30-year goal sets forth a five-year recurring program of purchasing, rehabilitating, leasing and selling real estate assets. Initial purchases will focus on two properties and approximately doubling these property purchases every five years with the goal of improving 100 properties over a 30 year time frame. See summary table below. 30-Year Acquisition Summary Table

30 35 100 45 55 $35M $112M $82M $715M
By utilizing Financing, the City can leverage its REIF balance to support a larger portfolio of properties. For example, a $5 million reserve limit could support a hand full of purchases over 30 years utilizing cash purchases and revenue generated thereafter ($3 million for 1 property, balance is $2 million of original $5 million; $70,000 per year in revenue requires 14+ years to have the $1 million needed to purchase the second property unless the first property is sold), or it could provide the "debt service coverage" for nearly 100 financed property assets over 30 years.

This allows the City to activate multiple community hubs and districts over a 30 year timeframe, creating sustainable significant placemaking and a compounding community benefit effect on the city-wide tax base that a hand full of cash-purchased assets cannot achieve.

5 Example: Financed Industrial-to-Restaurant Conversion A. Annual Costs "Financing & OpEx" (Total Costs)
• Total Capital Investment: $3,000,000 or $3M ($1.5M Purchase + $1.5M Tenant Improvement Conversion Cost)
o Property Acquisition: $1.5M at 6.0% Fixed Interest.
o Tenant Improvements (TI): $1.5M at 7.0% Fixed Interest (reflecting higher risk/unsecured nature).
• Blended Debt Service: Approximately $320,000 annually including Operating Expenses (Maintenance/Admin): Est. 5% of lease = $2,400.

B. Annual Revenue "Off-set" (Total Revenue)
• Lease Revenue: $4,000/mo = $48,000
• Sales Tax Revenue: $20,000
• Property Tax (City Share): $2,000
• Total Annual Revenue: $70,000
C. Net REIF Calculation
$70,000 (Total Revenue) - $320,000 (Total Costs) = - $250,000

Summary: This $3 million investment requires an estimated annual REIF expenditure of $250,000. Assuming the total REIF is $5 million. This project would consume 5% ($250,000 / $5 million) of allowed REIF capacity based on Net Cost. This scenario assumes $0 as a down payment with 100% debt financing.

Core Financial Assumptions
• Loan Term: 15 Years (Full Amortization).
• Payoff Date: 180 months from Year 1, Month 1 (e.g., December 2040).

(paid off) $105,662 $214,338 $3,500,812 $5,402,831 +$1,902,019 The "Fixed Payoff" Advantage
• Debt Elimination: Because the goal will be to have every loan to have a fixed 15-year payoff date, the City’s earlier acquisitions become highly profitable starting in Year 16.

These properties stop drawing from the reserve and begin contributing 100% of their rent/tax revenue back into the fund.
• Strategic Harvest: By selling at Year 5, the City is selling while the loan is still in its "interest-heavy" phase, but after the property has seen its largest jump in value (the

7 "Activation Jump"). This captures the maximum Equity Harvest ($1.25 million) to refill the $5 million liquidity pot.
• Interest Rate Shield: By assuming 6% and 7% rates now, the model remains conservative. If the City secures lower municipal bond rates (e.g., 4%), the "Burn" slows down even further, allowing for a faster acquisition pace. • By utilizing a 15-year amortization with a fixed payoff date of 2040, the City ensures that every property activation has a defined 'liquidity exit' if needed. Later assets can be less revenue oriented (e.g., parks, museums, art galleries) since the reserve allocation for real estate can far exceed the $5 million as shown in the Table below. This strategy allows the City to improve numerous properties over 30 years without ever exceeding the initial $5 million debt-service liquidity cap. This model shows property sales prices as mostly static, however, the number of property purchases may be higher or lower depending largely on changes in purchase costs/resale prices, revenue/burn rate, construction costs, interest rates and regulatory initiatives such as the Surplus Lands Act.

The Comparative Accounting Models
When comparing an all-cash purchase to a financed purchase with the REIF, the primary difference lies in how the REIF balance is consumed. An all-cash purchase hits the REIF balance quickly building equity immediately, whereas financing spreads the "charge" against your reserves over decades, allowing the City to activate more projects simultaneously while building equity over time.

The Cash Model (Asset-Based Charge)
In a cash model, the entire purchase price is "moved" from liquid assets (cash/bonds) into a nonliquid asset (real estate: 1 to 12 month resale timeframe). • REIF Impact: The full $3 million is immediately deducted from the REIF balance. • Benefit: No interest expense; 100% of the lease and tax revenue is "profit" that flows back into the REIF.

8 The Financing Model (Cash-Flow-Based Charge)
In the financing model, the REIF is not used to buy the property; it is used as a "safety net" to guarantee the annual debt payments.
• REIF Impact: Only the Net Annual Deficit ($250,000) is deducted from the REIF balance.
• Benefit: Extreme "leverage." You can control a $3 million asset while only "using" $250k of your regulatory cap allowing the City to purchase numerous properties over time while building equity.

Side-by-Side Comparison

While an All-Cash Purchase eliminates interest costs, it "locks up" significant municipal capital in a single location. For a city focusing on community activation, the goal is often to spark change across multiple districts (Arts, Parks, Retail) simultaneously.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10.b.

DATE: March 17, 2026
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: ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE CITY'S

ELDERLY NUTRITION PROGRAM
SUMMARY: The City’s Elderly Nutrition Program provides essential congregate and home-delivered meals to residents aged 60 and older. Due to a combination of rising food costs, increased participation, and a reduction in external grant reimbursements, current funding is projected to be exhausted before the end of the fiscal year. The request of $75,000 is necessary to maintain current service levels and avoid the implementation of a waitlist or reduction in meals served to the seniors.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council discuss and consider the following two options:

1. Allocate additional funding in the amount of $75,000.00 from the General Fund to the Elderly Nutrition Program; or

2. Direct staff to reduce the number of meals served daily.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: If Option #1 is approved by the City Council, the City's General Fund will transfer $75,000.00 to the Older American Act Fund in FY 2025/2026.

DISCUSSION: The Elderly Nutrition Program serves as a critical lifeline for vulnerable seniors, addressing food insecurity and promoting independence. Historically, the program has been funded through a combination of federal Older Americans Act (OAA) grants, state funds, and city contributions. The City has provided lunch meals for seniors over the age of 60 and disabled individuals through the Congregate Meals Program and the Home-Delivered Meals Program (collectively “Programs”) for over thirty years.

The Board of Supervisors approved the County to enter the Elderly Nutrition Program Subaward ENP242509 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 2025/2026. The subaward total for FY 2025/2026 is currently $380,000. In recent months, the Senior Services Division has experienced a significant increase in participation, an increase in the average cost per meal, and county and federal sources

have not kept pace with these rising operational costs. In FY 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, the County provided additional funding through the Modernization of Older Americans Act to supplement the costs accrued from the increased number of participants. This year, the City requested additional funding, however the county exhausted available funding to support countywide Elderly Nutrition Programs. Without the requested $75,000, the City projects it will exhaust all County funding by April 2026 and will be forced to implement cost-saving measures starting in April, including reducing the number of meals served daily.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10.c.

DATE: March 17, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: David De Vries, Director of Economic Development SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-019,
APPROVING AMENDMENT 3 TO AGREEMENT WITH DUDEK

FOR CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE GENERAL PLAN -

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) FOR ARTS

DISTRICT INDUSTRIAL WEST
SUMMARY: A consultant is needed to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Arts District Industrial West overlay. The City is currently engaged with DUDEK for the environmental review of several General Plan Elements including the Housing Element. While the primary deliverables by DUDEK have been completed, the contract remains open and active. Staff recommends utilizing this existing agreement to prepare the required Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Arts District Industrial West area for cost savings, demonstrated competence, streamlined process, technical continuity, and no net loss compliance.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 26- 019, approving Amendment 3 (Attachment A) to the agreement with Dudek for consulting services for the General Plan - EIR for Arts District Industrial West, for an amount not to exceed $165,000.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: This item is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund (01-140-1430-5215) and will be paid out of this account.

DISCUSSION: On December 8, 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with Dudek for consulting services to update the Housing Element and prepare the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements of the City's General Plan (Attachment B). These Elements of the General Plan were accepted and adopted by the City Council on October 21, 2021.

On January 20, 2026, the City Council provided direction to staff to create an arts district in the industrial corridor generally centered by Chico Avenue and Rush Street (Alternate 1 - Industrial West). The staff report and presentation outlined examples, alternative

locations, and allowable uses. The Arts District overlay will be designed to reflect the following preliminary objectives:
• Stimulate Revitalization: Turning an industrial corridor into an "Instagrammable" destination and community hub where wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors can thrive with maker spaces, retailers, restaurants, galleries, hotels, and housing.
• Support Local Makers: "Buy Local" and support existing maker spaces (e.g., manufacturers and wholesalers) and encourage retail sales (e.g., breweries, apparel, food and artisanal products).
• Celebrate Heritage: Using art to tell the story of South El Monte’s and San Gabriel Valley's past, present, and future through community involvement and crossmarketing opportunities of local businesses and artists. • Encourage Connectivity: Creating an event-oriented, walkable, bikeable district with unique food and beverage opportunities with physical paths from our neighborhoods to this creative community hub.

The City has engaged Dudek for the environmental review of the Arts District based on their recent relevant experience with the General Plan updates and associated data and resources. The scope of work provided by Dudek in the proposed resolution (Attachment 3) reflects the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR is more legally defensible than a Mitigated Negative Declaration and developers within the Arts District boundary can rely upon the EIR's findings and mitigation measures for environmental compliance provided their proposal is consistent with the standards and allowable uses within the newly created overlay for the Arts District. For these reasons, staff is recommending that Dudek prepare the EIR for the overlay. The overlay development standards and allowable uses will be prepared after the public comment period ends in April 2026 (including a public open house and coloring contest for April 9, 2026) as a part of the environmental noticing requirements. This provides staff the opportunity to incorporate any comments received from community stakeholders into the plan as a part of its implementation.

While the primary deliverables by Dudek for the General Plan updates have been completed, the contract remains open and active. Staff recommends utilizing this existing agreement to prepare the required EIR for the Arts District. Amending the existing, active contract is more efficient than a formal RFP process for the following reasons:

Cost Savings:

The consultant has already established the environmental baselines (traffic, air quality, noise) for the City. Utilizing a new firm would require redundant data collection and increased costs to the City.

Demonstrated Competence:

The consultant delivered requested items at a quality and duration acceptable by staff as a part of past contract experience with the City.

Streamlined Process:

Since the current contract remains open, the City can immediately authorize the new scope of work via amendment, bypassing the one to three month delay of a new solicitation while ensuring the project remains on its expedited timeline.

Technical Continuity and No Net Loss Compliance:

The Arts District project involves proposed land use amendments and potential upzoning to allow for additional high-density housing units. Because Dudek is the firm of record for the City’s recent General Plan updates, they possess the specific technical data required to ensure the Arts District overlay complies with California’s "No Net Loss" Law (Government Code § 65863). The consultant will provide data-driven recommendations to ensure that any rezoning within the Arts District is balanced with the City’s existing Sites Inventory, preventing the City from falling out of compliance with State housing mandates.

Administrative and Fiscal Efficiency:

Under South El Monte Municipal Code Section 3.16.070, professional services are not required to go to bid through a request for proposals. This contract would be awarded based on cost savings, demonstrated competence, streamlined process, technical continuity, and no net loss compliance.

ELEMENT
WHEREAS, the City of South El Monte (" City") is required to adopt an eight -year update to the Housing Element Sixth Cycle;
WHEREAS, the State of California requires every municipality to periodically update the Housing Element of its General Plan to review the housing needs of the community and revise its policies, programs and objectives to address those needs. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (" HCD") reviews the Housing Element prior to adoption, and HCD is required to issue findings regarding whether, in its opinion, the element complies with the requirements of state law;
WHEREAS, the State of California requires every municipality to update their Safety Element along with the Sixth Cycle Housing Element if it was not recently updated. Another requirement is upon the adoption of two elements of the General Plan, an Environmental Justice Element must be created ifthe City is considered a Disadvantaged Community ( DAC). With the last adopted Safety Element being in 2000 and the City being considered a DAC, these two elements were combined into the Public Health and Safety Element to be adopted with the Housing Element;
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on September 21, 2021 which recommended that City Council adopt General Plan Amendment and Negative Declaration. All evidence, both written and oral, presented during said public hearing was considered by the Planning Commission in making its determination; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the City Council on October 12, 2021 to consider the proposal. All evidence, both written and oral, presented during said public hearing was considered by the City Council in making its determination.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (" CEQA"), the State CEQA Guidelines California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000, et seq.), and the City' s Local CEQA Guidelines, City staff had an initial study prepared of the potential environmental effects of the proposed General Plan amendment. Based on the information contained in the initial study, staff determined that there was less than substantial evidence that approval ofthe proposed re -designations may have significant environmental impact. Accordingly, the City prepared a Negative Declaration in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Notice of the preparation of the Negative Declaration was posted for the period of August 30, 2021 through September 19, 2021. Pursuant to Section 15074(b) of said Guidelines, the Planning Commission independently reviewed and considered the contents of the initial study and the
