SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE N0. 2022-07-CC AMENDING CHAPTER 11.33 (PARKING STANDARDS), OF TITLE 11 (ZONING), OF THE SOUTH

GATE MUNICIPAL CODE REVISING PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND USES

SERVING CHILDREN, OLDER ADULTS, COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY OR PEOPLE

WTH DISABILTIES
PURPOSE: To adopt Ordinance No. 2022-07-CC amending Chapter 11.33 Parking Standards, of Title 11, Zoning in the South Gate Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider waiving the reading in full and adopting Ordinance No. 2022-07-CC, amending Chapter 11.33 (Parking Standards), of Title 11 (Zoning), of the SGMC to include parking requirements and standards for land uses serving children, older adults, community assembly or people with disabilities.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Advertising and notification of the public hearing for this item was conducted in compliance with SGMC Sections 11.50.020 and 11.50.030. Notice of the hearing was originally posted and published in the "South Gate Press" on July 14, 2022.

ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION: The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environment Quality Act of 1970 ("CEQA"), as amended, because it can be seen with certainty that this ordinance has no likelihood of causing a significant negative effect on the environment and accordingly both the City Council's action of adopting this ordinance and the effects derivative from the adoption are exempt from the application of CEQA, pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (15 Cal.Code Regs. e)15061(b)(3)). Furthermore, the adoption and implementation of the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, which provides that CEQA "does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county to implement the provisions of Sections 65852.1 or 65852.2 of the Government Code." This ordinance is adopted to implement changes in Government Code Section 65852.2, and thus is exempt from CEQA's environmental review requirements. 1 10
BACKGROUND: The proposed zoning code amendment was presented and unanimously approved at the July 26, 2022, City Council meeting. The ordinance provides additional solutions to parking requirements for non-residential uses throughout the City.

On July 5, 2022, the Planning Commission adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022- 13, recommending the City Council approve Zoning Code Amendment No. 175 and adopt an Ordinance, amending Section 11.33 (Parking Standards) of Title 11 (Zoning) to add minimum parking requirements for specific land use types, which are not currently listed within the SGMC Section 11.33.040 "Required parking by land use," to amend off-site parking distance requirements and standards within SGMC Section 11.33.060 "Parking lot standards;" and also to simplify by amending parking requirement calculations per SGMC Section 11.33.040 (D)(I) "Calculations."
Under Section 11.33.040, Table 11.33-1 "Minimum Required Parking by Land Use" lists various land uses, ranging from banks and offices to stadiums and warehouses. However, land uses that are specific to children, older adults, community assembly or people with disabilities are not adequately or similarly listed in Table 11.33-1. Parking calculations are detertnined by staff who are often unable to simplify determinations of parking requirements SGMC Section 11.33.060 provides "Off-site Parking Distance" standards for land uses serving children, older adults, community assembly or people with disabilities and non-residential uses.

Although these land uses are noted in this code section, the distance allowed between sites does not adequately reflect real-life distances that may be permitted pursuant to the Zoning Code.

ANALYSIS:

Required Parking based on Land Uses
Land uses that are specific to children, older adults, community assembly or people with disabilities include, but are not limited to, uses such as children or adult day care centers; nursery schools; preschools; infant centers; religious facilities; lodges; meeting halls; community, cultural, performing arts centers; etc. Table 11.33-1, under SGMC Sectionll.33.040, "Schools" and "Trade and/or vocational schools" are listed as below:

Land Use Type Minimum Required Parking
Schools l per employee
Trade and/or vocational schools 3, plus 1 per student capacity; or l per l sq. ft. building gfa, whichever is greater
Day care centers and community centers are relatively similar land uses to the uses listed above, however, there are staffing differences that would cause for substantial parking requirement differences. For example, the minimum required parking for schools is based on the number of employees, which can be calculated based on the number of classrooms at a school facility. Day care centers, meeting halls and perfornning arts centers are not solely based around classrooms and employees assigned accordingly. These land uses that are specific to children, the elderly, or people with disabilities may require multiple employees/instructors/teachers/etc., In order to sufficiently provide parking requirements for land uses not currently addressed in the 2 11
Zoning code, staff is proposing to amend Table 11.33-1 under SGMC Section 11.33.040, by adding the Land Use Type below:

Land Use Type Minimum Required Parking
Schools 1 per employee
Trade and/or vocational schools 3, plus 1 per student capacity; or I per l sq. ft. building gfa, whichever is greater
Uses specific to cl'iildren, older adults,
community assembly or people with
disabilities
1 per every 8 persons, plus 2 loading and
unloading spaces
The minimum required parking requirement is derived from the State's requirements for day care employee parking and is also similarly compared to neighboring cities' parking requirements.

Off-site Parking Distances
Because parking is often at a shortage throughout the City, various uses are unable to meet parking requirements pursuant to the Zoning Code. The Zoning Code currently allows for a shared parking option, which is listed in Table 11.33-3, under SGMC 11.33.060. This shared parking option allows uses to enter into agreements with nearby uses that have a surplus of parking spaces. For example, a restaurant that is unable to provide parking based on the Zoning Code parking requirements may request to share parking with a nearby retail market that has more parking spaces than it is required to provide. The "Off-site Parking Distance" for nonresidential uses is 300 feet from the site. Therefore, the restaurant would have to be located a maximum of 300 feet from the retail market. Utilizing nearby excess parking spaces allows the restaurant to meet parking requirements per the Zoning Code.

Minagar & Associates, Inc. completed a survey of off-site parking distances from various cities tbroughout the State and detertnined that the City's current standard for off-site parking distance allowances is lower than most cities. The study recommends a maximum of 700 feet in distance between uses, however Staff has determined that less than a quarter of a mile, linearl,000 feet, would allow manyuses in the City to achieve parking compliance with the Zoning Code. To ensure that shared parking between uses is maintained, a parking covenant agreement would be submitted to the City for administrative review and ultimately approved by the Community Development Director.

In addition to the above off-site parking distance allowance, uses would also be able to share parking with other uses within 1,000 feet that are able to provide parking availability based on differences in hours of operation. For example, a religious facility that operates between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. would be able to share parking spaces with a restaurant that operates between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. The parking spaces would be shared by each use at different times of each day of the week. The 1,000 linear foot off-site parking distance referenced above, where there is a surplus of parking spaces, in the case of differences in hours of operation and days of the week, a Conditional Use Permit approval would be required. A parking covenant agreement between the two uses would also be required.

Table 11.33.-3 Parking Lot Standards, under SGMC Section 11.33.060 Parking Lot Standards, 3 12
would be amended as follows:

Off-Site Parking Distance

Notes:

2. Distances are to be measured in walking distance along the way open to public pedeshian passage.

3. Use/business is to be reviewed according to SGMC Section 11.51.050 "Administrahve pemiits and approvals."

4. Use/business is to obtain an approval for a Conditional Use Permit according to SGMC Section 11.52 "Conditional Use Peimit."
Minimum Parking Requirement Calculations
The SGMC Section 11.33.040 also instructs staff to calculate minimum required parking based on gross floor area calculations, seating calculations and assembly area calculations. Based on the current Zoning Code, for example, when calculating the minimum number of required parking spaces for a library, one parking space is required per 250 square feet of gross floor area (GFA).

This GFA includes all square footage within surrounding exterior walls of the library building, including shared bathroom spaces, storage areas and areas for circulation. Therefore a 10,000 square foot library would be required to provide 40 parking spaces on-site. As noted above, meeting parking requirements per the current Zoning Code is often difficult to achieve throughout the City.

Therefore, staff is recommending that parking calculations be amended to simplify calculations of GFA in SGMC Section 11.33.040 (D)(1) as follows:

D. Calculations.

1. Gross Floor Area Calculations. Gross floor area calculations are based on the area within the surrounding exterior walls of a building or any portion thereof, ineluding sharcd bathroom spaces, storage arcas, and areas for circulation. Required parking is calculated based on publicly accessible areas and areas that are not accessible to the public.

For example, a 1,000 square foot retail store that includes a 250 square foot employee office, 250 square feet for restrooms for both the public and employees and the remaining 500 square feet is the retail shop area. The restrooms and retail shop area, which are both areas that are accessible to the public, would be calculated based on the minimum parking required for retail stores (1 per 200 square feet GFA). The remaining 250 square foot employee office, not publicly accessible, would 4 13
be calculated based on the minimum parking required for offices (1 per 300 square feet GFA).

This calculation would lower the number of minimum parking spaces required.

The proposed amendments will address parking sufficiency for non-residential uses throughout the City and also provide for additional options for parking compliance with the Zoning Code.

PURPOSE: To designate eligible elected officials as voting delegates for the upcoming 2022 League of California Cities Annual Conference on September 7-9, 2022.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution designating a member of the City Council as the voting delegate for the Annual Business Meeting/General Assembly during the 2022 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo and up to two (2) alternate voting delegates should the primary designee be unable to represent the City.

FISCAL IMPACT: None
ANALYSIS: An important part of the League of California Cities Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting/General Assembly where membership considers and acts on resolutions that establish Cal Cities' policy. These resolutions guide cities and the League in their efforts to improve the quality, responsiveness, and vitality of local governrnent in California. Each member city has the right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to the League of California Cities policies that are being considered by the General Assembly.

Historically, the City has designated the two City Council members who serve as delegate and alternate to the LA County Division of the League of California Cities. Those two members are Vice Mayor Maria del Pilar Avalos who would represent the City as the voting delegate and Council Member Denise Diaz who would serve as the first altemate delegate.

BACKGROUND: Every year, the League of California Cities requires that the City designate voting delegates to vote and take action during the Annual Conference and Expo. The proposed Resolution designates Vice Mayor Avalos as the voting delegate and Council Member Diaz as the alternate voting delegate. The City Council can designate another member who is attending the conference as a second alternate, in case Council Member Diaz is unexpectedly unavailable.

HOUSING MANAGER AND REASSIGNING POSITION TO AN EXECUTIVE

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT EMPLOYEE AND TO UPDATE THE DEPUTY CITY

ENGINEER SALARY RANGE
PURPOSE: To update the job specifications and salary range for the position of the Housing Administrator and reassign the position to an Executive Management Contract Employee, update job specifications and salary ranges for the positions of Deputy Director of Parks & Recreation and Parks Superintendent and to update the salary range for the position of Deputy City Engineer which are part of the Division Management Association (DMA).

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution amending Resolution No. 6454 (Salary Resolution and Position Classification Plan) to update the job specifications and salary range for the position of Housing Administrator to Housing Manager in the Community Development Department and reassigning the Housing Manager position as an Executive Management Contract Employee, update the job specifications and salary range for the Deputy Director of Parks & Recreation and Parks Superintendent in the Parks & Recreation Department and to update the salary range for the position of Deputy City Engineer in the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with updating the job specifications and salary ranges. The Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget will include the updated funding for the positions of Housing Administrator in the Community Development Department, the Deputy Director of Parks & Recreation, Parks Superintendent in the Parks & Recreation Department and the Deputy City Engineer in the Public Works Department.

ANALYSIS: None.

BACKGROUND: The City must, from time to time, add or otherwise adjust job classifications, job specifications and/or compensation in the Salary Resolution and Position Classification Plan in order to satisfy the changing needs and demands of the workforce and to more closely match the tasks which need to be performed by employees in the City's various departments.

The positions of Housing Administrator and Deputy City Engineer are currently vacant. Staff is recommending updating the job specifications and salary range before filling the positions. These positions are designated as unclassified, and staff is proposing to add this language to the job specifications along with updated essential functions. Staff is also proposing to update the title from Housing Administrator to Housing Manager and reassign the Housing Manager position as an Executive Management Contract Employee removing it as a position under the Division Management Association (DMA). The Housing Manager position is listed under Municipal Code

1.24.105 as a position exempt from the civil service rules and regulations and reassigning the position as an Executive Management Contract Employee would bring the position in line with the Municipal Code.

Additionally, it was suspected the current salaries for the Housing Manager, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation, Parks Superintendent and Deputy City Engineer positions may be significantly below our survey market, so the City contracted MRG to conduct a salary study.

Based on the salary study results, MRG recommended the monthly salary for step E:

Adjusting salaries will assist the city in its recruitment and retention efforts with these critical positions. The job specification for the Deputy City Engineer position does not need to be updated.

Staff corresponded with the Division Management Association (DMA) Board Members to inforin them of the proposed changes, and they were in agreement.

AG-ENJDA B3I[LL
For the Regular Meeting of: August 9, 2022
Department Head.'
Arturo ervant
Department: Public Works
City Manager:

Chris Ueffers
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH JOHN L. HUNTER AND ASSOCIATES, INC., FOR

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4) PERMIT PROGRAM
PURPOSE: To approve an Agreement with John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc. ("JLHA"), to provide storm water management services for the management of the City's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Program. The current agreement expires on August 23, 2022.

RECOMMEDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving an agreement with John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc. ("Agreement"), for storm water management services required by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, for a three-year term, in an amount not-to-exceed $334,155, or $111,385 annually; and
b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. The proposed Agreement is in the amount of $334,155, or $111,385 annually, which will be funded with Measure W Funds. The $111,385 cost of the Agreement will be included in the Fiscal Year 2022/23 Municipal Budget and will be funded from the Measure W Fund in Account No. 21 7-727-57-6101.

ANALYSIS: The City owns and operates a storm drain system that is regulated by the NPDES Permit which is issued by the State Water Resources Control Board. TheNPDES Permitrequiresthe City to have various programs in place such as a Watershed Management Plan ("WMP"), Industrial/Commercial Facilities Program, Planning and Land Development Program, Load Reduction Strategy Implementation Program and Integrated Monitoring Program. It also requires compliance through City operations and projects. The complexity of the NPDES Program warrants an environmental firm with special technical expertise and experience in the NPDES program. A Request for Proposal was issued for storm water management services. JLHA is recommended for thecontract. JLHAhasmanagedtheCity'sNPDESProgramandMS4Permitsinceitsinceptionin 1991 and has been instrumental to keeping the City in compliance with state and federal requirements.
1 51
BACKGROUND: Storm water management is a complex administrative, technical and legal matter, with local, state and federal requirements. In 2021, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Controls Board ("Regional Board") re-issued an MS4 Permit to the City. The permit regulates pollutant discharges from storm water runoff into the Los Angeles River and Rio Hondo Channel.

Services of a specialty consultant are warranted to managethe program and achieve compliance, due to the complexity of the MS4 Permit. JLHA ensures the City will meet state and federal requirements
The cost of JLHA's services is $111,385 annually and includes the Industrial/Commercial Facilities Program ($51,175), Planning and Land Development Program ($38,015), Load Reduction Strategy Implementation Assistance Program ($8,580), Implement Integrated Monitoring Program ($1,250), Statewide Trash Amendment submittal ($7,070), Administration (includes annual reporting) ($14,915) and Illicit Connection and Illicit Discharge Elimination Program ($3,300). JLHA also added a services discount of $12,920 because JLHA conducts combined inspections at facilities that require both NPDES (stormwater) and Industrial Waste Discharge ("IWD") inspections. It saves time and money to do both at the same time; therefore, the City receives a savings in the form of a discount.

In addition, JLHA offers the following:
* JLHA has managed the City's NPDES programs for over three decades and was the lead consultant in the development of the City's WMP.
* JLHAhasexperienceinmanagingNPDESprogramsforover30agencieswithservicesthat include field services inspection for Best Management Practice ("BMP"), developmentplan review, public outreach, creating program reports, watershed plan development/ implementation, producing field studies, providing stafftraining, and assisting cities through Regional Water Board audits.
* There are several layers for compliance including regional solutions that require the City to collaborate with agencies within the Lower Los Angeles River Subwatershed subcommittee, led by JLHA. The City is a member of the Gateway Water Management Authority ("GWMA") who leads local, sub-regional and regional collaboration efforts. JLHA was selected to represent four out of the five watershed subcommittees. * The owner of JLHA, Mr. John Hunter, is currently the Chair of the Los Angeles Permit Group which provides area wide MS4 Permit updates to all agencies under the Los Angeles Region MS4 Permit. JLHA also manages MS4 Permit Programs for 30 other cities in the region.

This section details the approach to complete the Scope of Work (SOW). The timeframe of this proposal is for a period of three years. The services may be extended for two additional years, upon written agreement by the City and JLHA. This proposal is considered valid for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of submittal.

2.1. Municipal NPDES Program Management Services
Tables 5 to 11 list the services listed in page 3 of the RFP and include information that describe the understanding and approach the Project Team will use to meet the contract requirements.

Table 5. Administration Tasks
# Description
A.1 Keep City staff informed of the various State and Regional Permit mandates, regulations and initiatives. Provide a written report to City staff on the discussion topics, critical dates, action items and recommendations on a quarterly basis.

Approach: We (JLHA) provide this service to over 30 clients in LA County. (Since elements of the reports will apply to multiple clients, the City may expect a reduced cost due to the economy of scale.) We understand that our clients prefer reports that are clear, concise, and focused on action items and key points. In addition to written reports, we can provide this service through in-person meetings, video conferences, phone calls, emails, and texti ng.

A.2 Conduct a program review and develop recommendations that can be used to help determine annual and long-term effectiveness ofthe storm water program.

Approach: We have prepared and continue to conduct stormwater program reviews based on the 2021 MS4 NPDES Permit to over 20 of our LA County clients. We develop our recommendations with an understanding of which program elements are foundational and how smaller cities effectively implement program elements. In addition to recommendations, we can develop program forms, training material, and SOPs.

A.3 Meet quarterly or as required with City staff to review progress in performing required tasks involved with MS4 permit compliance and Watershed Management Plan (WMP) and Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) implementation.

Approach: We provide this service to over 30 clients in LA County. We also understand the requirements for WMP and CIMP implementation as we served as the lead consultant for the development of the WMPs for the LLAR, LSGR, Nearshore, and Peninsula Cities WMGs.

This included oversight of the development of CIMPs. We currently serve as the consultant team lead for the Nearshore, LLAR, LSGR, and Peninsula Cities WMGs. For more information, see the responses to A.1 and A.2.

Table 10. Statewide Trash Amendments Submittal Tasks
# Description
F.1 Prepare and submit trash TMDL annual report as required by the MS4 Permit.

Approach: See the response to Task 4.9 which includes the preparation and submission of the trash reporting forms in Attachment I of the 2021 MS4 Permit. We provide this service to over 30 cities in LA County.

F.2
Before September 2027, conduct a new Daily Generator Rate Study once every five years per RWQCB Daily Generation Rate Approval to the Frequency Reduction Request letter dated August 8, 2018.

Approach: We have provided this service to 20 cities in LA County, and in 2020 participated in a successful Trash TMDL/DGR Study program audit by the federal EPA.

We will conduct street litter collection and quantify collected materials based on designated land use areas. These areas include commercial, low and high density residential, industrial, public facilities and educational, and open space and recreation.

We will plan study routes and request assistance from the city to cover the catch basins along the routes with netting. We will prepare an estimate of the amount of anthropogenic litter larger than 1/4 inch generated on a daily basis based upon liteer collected and street sweeping schedule. The collection period for the Trash DGR study will be over a 30 consecutive day period. The DGR will cover one full month of street sweeping (this will require five separate collection events for each specific land use area to cover day sweeping cycles over a 30-day period).

The City's last DGR trash study was conducted in 2017. As such, the next required DGR study shall be conducted during the summer of 2022. The cost for this service has only been included in FY2022-23 of the cost estimate.

F.3
Inspection of City's Automatic Retractable Screens (ARS) and Connector Pipe Screen (cps) on City-owned and LOS Angeles County-owned catch basins will be performed by City's catch basin maintenance contractor and Consultant will be expected to coordinate to obtain information.

Approach: We will coordinate with the City's catch basin maintenance contractor to obtain the information necessary to complete the Trash TMDL compliance report.

CITY COUNCIL

AGENJDA BULL
DepartmentDirector:

For the Regular Meeting o:t: August 9, 2022
Origin,yting pepartment: Pub'lic Works
lMu;5'Ce;v?ij'tes Je ers
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH HUB CITIES CAREER CENTER TO INVENTORY NEWSRACKS AND PAY PHONES IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY;
APPROPRIATE FUNDS; AND AUTHORIZE ENFORCEMENT OF UNPERMITTED,

UNMAINT AINED AND/OR ABANDONED DEVICES
PURPOSE: To contract with Hub Cities Career Center ("Hub Cities") to conduct a survey to document abandoned, non-compliant and/or unpermitted newsracks and pay phones in the public right of way, appropriate :tunding for the agreement and receive approval to begin enforcement, including removal, of unpermitted, unmaintained and/or abandoned devices in accordance with the South Gate Municipal Code ("SGMC").

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving an Agreement with Hub Cities Career Center ("Agreement") to perform an inventory of newsracks and pay phones in the public right-of-way for a not-to-exceed amount of $34,50(;
b. Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney;
c. Approving appropriation of $45,000 from the Refuse Collection Fund to 'fund the Agreement and all anticipated staff costs with implementation of the described program; d. Directing staff to begin notification to permittees of abandoned, unpermitted, and unmaintained newsracks and pay phones in accordance with Chapter 5.07 (Newsracks) and 5.34 (Pay Phones in Public Right-of-Way.) of Title 5 (Streets and Sidewalks) of the SGMC; and
e. Authorizing staff to begin removal of any noncompliant devices as provided for in SGMC Chapters 5.07 and 5.34.

FISC AL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The proposed Agreement is in the amount of $34,500, of which $19,500 will be fiinded by the City and $15,000 will be funded by Hub Cities tmough a grant they have received. The proposed $45,000 appropriation into the Refuse Collection Fund will fund the Agreement and described program costs including internal staff, removal, repair of sidewalk and legal costs. 1 101
ANALYSIS: The proposed Agreement is in the amount of $34,500 as that is the total cost of providing the services documented in the scope of work in the Agreement. However, the Agreement documents that the City will fund $19,500 for services and that Hub Cities will fund $15,000 through an in-kind construction. This structure for the Agreement is needed to ensure that the total amount to be funded by the City is $19,500 even though the total cost for the services is $34,500.

BACKGROUND: As part of the City's effort to address blight and improve litter removal, staff is proposing a program to begin enforcement of the City's municipal code as it relates to abandoned, unpermitted, and/or unmaintained newsracks and pay phones placed within the public right-of-way.

As a result of technology advancing access to news and other periodicals along with increased accessibility to mobile phone devices, newsracks and pay phones have become almost obsolete.

These devices once used by private companies to provide news and phone service have, been abandoned in place and are now covered with graffiti, stickers, and flyers/notices and are damaged and in general disrepair. In some cases, unpermitted companies use newsracks for publications and the material is often discarded into the public right-of-way; a problem City crews and City contractors must address.

Chapter 5.07 (Newsracks) was added to the City's municipal code in 2000 and Chapter 5.34 (Pay Phones in the Public Right-of-Way) was added in 2006. Consequently, the codes have not been regularly enforced for the past 5 years. Each of these codes provides a process where the permittee is required to apply and pay for annual permits and maintain the devices. The City has lost revenue from unpermitted devices and the ability to require the permittee to maintain the devices as required in the municipal code.

Per the SGMC, newsracks may not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic, transit operations, or handicapped access. Newsracks are to be maintained and free of graffiti or stickers, rust, trash or dirt. They must have a door or other covering to keep the publications inside the newsrack and the elements out. Plastic windows must be transparent and unbroken. A newsrack may not be chained to any other object. When a permittee removes a newsrack, it must be done without damage to the sidewalk. If there is damage, the permittee must restore the site to the same condition as the surrounding area.

Similar conditions of maintenance and non-interference with the flow of pedestrian or vehicle access apply to phone booths.

The Public Works Department has a list of permitted newsracks which was last updated in 2016.

The total number of permitted newsracks citywide totals 376. The Department does not have a database on pay phone booths within the public right-of-way. A preliminary estimate of unpermitted pay phones in the right-of-way is approximately 175 locations. As stated earlier, the last record of payment for a newsrack permit is in 2016.

To implement an efficient and effective removal program, a survey of the City's right-of-ways to identify the locations, condition and permittee identification information must be conducted to 2 102
begin the noticing process under the municipal code. Staffing vacancies and workload prevent the City from using existing staff without delaying other projects or tasks. Using Hub Cities to undertake the survey will allow the City to accomplish several goals.

The first goal is to begin to bring these devices into compliance with our municipal code. This includes properly obtaining permits and maintaining compliant devices. Second, this Agreement allows the City to further promote workforce development of the young adult population through Hub Cities. Participants will learn basic research skills in developing a new database and comparing it against the existing permit inventory for accuracy. Finally, the most important goal is the elimination of blight in the City. It is likely that a significant portion of the newsracks and pay phones are completely abandoned. Once the City follows the noticing process and noncompliance period has passed, removal of these devices will make a measurable improvement in the effort to reduce paper waste and graffiti in the public right-of-way.

The majority of devices are located on commercial streets including Atlantic Avenue, Firestone Boulevard, Tweedy Boulevard, Long Beach Boulevard, Alarneda Street, Imperial Highway, and Garfield Avenue.

The preliminary schedule for program implementation is tentatively proposed as follows:
* Field Survey completed by Hub Cities within 60-days after agreement approval @ Notice to last known or current permittee to be done over 90-days * Removal of unpermitted devices to be done over 90-days * Repairs to public right-of- way over the 90-days (concurrent with removal) @ Disposal of unclaimed devices 60-days after removal.

The proposed schedule would take between August 2022 and January 2023 to complete, with City Council approval.

The intent and purpose of this chapter is to establish a permit procedure for obtaining advance permission from the city prior to the placement of any pay phone or similar device (all of which are for ease of reference referred to as "pay phones" in this chapter) in the public right-of-way, to declare any pay phone installed in the public right-of-way without prior city approval to be a public nuisance as defined by Sections 3479 and 3480 of the California Civil Code; and to set forth a method for the removal of any nonpermitted pay phones that have been or may be placed on the public right-of-way.

AGENDA BILL
For the Regular Meeting of: August 9, 2022
Originating Department: Community Development
City Manager: C)t.re,(7ers
SUBJECT: AGREEMENTS FOR BUILDING PLAN CHECK SERVICES
PURPOSE: To award two separate Professional Services Agreements ("Agreements") for on-call plan review and inspection services to support the Comtnunity Development Department.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving an Agreement with Melad & Associates, hic., to provide building plan check and inspection services in the amount not to exceed $750,000 for a three-year term; b. Approving Agreement with True North Compliance Services to provide building plan check and inspection services in the amount not to exceed $750,000 for a three-year term; and c. Authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreements in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAI, IMPACT: The total contract amount over the three-year term will not exceed $1,500,000.

The costs for plan check services for the first year of this agreement are included in the FY 2022-2023 budget and will be offset by revenues from plan check fees.

ANALYSIS: The proposed Agreement supports the City Council goals of "encouraging economic development" and of "development and protecting strong sustainable neighborhoods." This is accomplished by providing high quality plan check services that ensure new construction is designed to meet safety standards with the City's Building Code. In addition, building plan check services will be provided in a reduced period of time to benefit residents, investors, developers, and contractors. Another City Council goal is to enhance, accelerate and update services to the latest technology available (such as electronic plan check to expedite the plan check process for investors, developers, contractors, homeowners, and the general public) and Melad & Associates, Inc., and True North Compliance Services will help achieve this City Council goal.

There are several large projects in the planning stages which are pending final approval and there is an urgent need to secure plan check and inspection services providers. Providing a ready list of additional plan check firms will benefit and expedite service to all developers, designers, contractors, and the general public.

The cost for plan check or inspection services is paid in advance by the person, company or contractor submitting construction requiring the service. Typically, the breakdown is a 35/65 split with 65% of the collected fee paid to the City contracted plan checker for their service. 1 137
To ensure the City receives high quality building plan check and inspection services at the most competitive cost, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in May 2022 and was advertised and sent to several plan check consultants. The City received proposals from 12 firms who responded to the RFP.

Consultant information is as follows:
