9 BACKGROUND:
Live Entertainment
The applicant requests approval to provide live entertairu'nent at the Project Site. Live entertainment will be limited to musical performances of no more than four (4) performers at atime. Performances will take place in the outdoor stage area adjacent to the ground-floor bar.
Schedule of Entertainment:
* : Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
* Times: 12:00 PM-10:00 PM
Entertainment will be oriented inward toward the courtyard to minimize sound transmission to surrounding properties. All performances will comply with city noise standards and operational conditions.
Site History and Environmental Setting
The Project Site consists of three lots: one developed lot and two vacant lots. The developed lot (3703 Tweedy Boulevard) at the northeastern corner of Tweedy Boulevard and San Carlos Avenue has a one-story, 2,392 SF commercial building constructed in the 1950s. It was formerly used as a dental/medical office, but the building is now vacant. Based on aerial photographs, the two vacant lots located east of the commercial building have been vacant for over 30 years. There are no building permits on file showing that the lots were ever developed.
The entire site is flat with paved sidewalks, stable valley soils, and surrounded by low-rise commercial storefronts and nearby residences. Vegetation is minimal, limited to a few street trees along the public sidewalks and ornamental plants onsite. There are no sensitive habitats or protected species in the area. Wildlife consists of cornrnon urban birds and small mammals. There are no known historical, cultural, or scenic designations on the property.
The property is part of the Tweedy Mile corridor and is required to have an active retail frontage that encourages pedestrian activity. Properties along Tweedy Boulevard adjacent to the subject site are developed with commercial uses. Residential uses are located to the north along San Carlos Avenue.
Project Overview
* Site Characteristics: The subject site measures approximately 125.5 feet deep by 84 feet wide and is 10,541 square feet (SF) or O.24 acre (AC). It is a rectangular-shaped lot with street frontage on Tweedy Boulevard to the south and San Carlos Avenue to the west. There is an alley and public parking to the north. Table 1 provides a summary of the lot dimensions and the lot area of the subject parcel, and Table 2 provides the zoning and surrounding land uses.

Ll ilF)
History of Land Use and Zoning of Subject Property Inl950, the property at 3703 Tweedy Boulevard was developed as amedical building. A 14-foot by 28-foot carport was built in the rear of the building. There are no permits for the two vacant lots to the east; however, a history of code violations has occurred over the decades, including overgrown vegetation, weeds, trash, debris, and parking on an unimproved area. Violations of graffiti have also been reported on the existing building.
In 2019, the City adopted the Tweedy Boulevard Specific Plan. The zoning for the subject property and adjacent properties along Tweedy Boulevard was changed from Restricted Commercial (C-2) to Tweedy Mixed Use-2 (TMU2). Properties to the west across San Carlos Avenue were changed to Tweedy Mixed Use-l (TMUI). An "Active Retail Frontage" corridor was established from Elizabeth Avenue to the west to Bowman Avenue to the east, which includes the subject property.
Planning Commission Meeting
On October 21, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 25-04) and a Site Plan Review (PL No. 25-0312) to consider development of an open-air food hall with a central outdoor plaza, 7,718 square feet of building area, eight restaurant vendor spaces, live entertainment, landscaping, signage, and other improvements. Two vendors will be selling alcohol under a Type 47 license ("On-Sale General Eating Place") issued by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
The applicant spoke on behalf of the project, and 10 other speakers from the public provided testimony. All the speakers were in support of the project. One resident asked about the type of entertainment and how the owner would control the venues to ensure a family-friendly environment. 4 12
The Planning Commission asked questions of the applicant and staff and deliberated on the item. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Commission voted unanimously, 5-0, to approve CUP No. 25-04 and PL No. 25-0312.
ANALYSIS:
Tweedy Boulevard Specific Plan (TBSP) Requirements for a CUP: Pursuant to TBSP Table 4-2, "Live Entertainment" requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). A CUP is subject to the procedures in SGMC Section 11.51.030 (Permits and Procedures, Review Types and Responsibilities) and Chapter 11.52 (Conditional Use Permit). Under SGMC Table 11.51-1, a CUP for live entertainment requires approval by the City Council.
Required Findings for a CUP: Pursuant to SGMC Section 11.52.030, before a CUP may be granted, the City Council shall make all the following findings, as applicable to the property:
A. Approval of the CUP is consistent with and will not adversely affect the intent and purpose of this title or the city's General Plan.
B. ThedesignanddevelopmentofthelanduseandconditionsoftheCUParecompatiblewith the existing and future land uses of the applicable zone.
C. Approval of the CUP would not result in detrimental impacts to adjacent properties or to the character or function of the neighborhood.
The proposed Resolution supports the findings required under Section 11.52.030.
Issues of Concern
Parkiy
The project site is within the Active Retail Frontage district commonly known as "Tweedy Mile." Whereas the City's Zoning Code provides for parking requirements based on land use types, the TBSP embraces the concept of shared parking, where parking supplies are available to all users, rather than being limited to a single land use or building (TBSP Chapter 5 - Mobility and Parking).
The overall parking strategy for Tweedy Mile is to provide sufficient parking to ensure economic viability and success of commercial uses. The listed parking strategies in the TBSP include the "Park Once" concept and program, which "is intended to consolidate parking resources, relieve individual properties of providing potentially duplicative parking, reduce individual vehicle trips, and group parking facilities in strategically dispersed locations to encourage walking between destinations." Per SGMC Section 11.33.040, a food use with 7,718 square feet of building area would be required to provide 115 onsite parking spaces. This is based on a factor of 40 spaces for the first 4,000 square feet, plus 1 space for every 50 square feet over 4,000 square feet. However, per Assembly Bill 2097 (AB 2097) cities are prohibited from imposing a minimum automobile parking requirement on most development projects located within a half-mile radius of a major transit stop. Tweedy Boulevard is a major commercial and mixed-use corridor with adequate public transit. Furthermore, the TBSP encourages a walkable environment where visitors can visit multiple destinations and "park once." 5 13
This provides an opportunity for revised parking standards along Tweedy Mile. TBSP indicates there is a considerable amount of parking supply in the Specific Plan area, including 2,865 off-street parking spaces (78% privately owned; 22% owned by the City). Over 80% of the off-street supply, or 2,345 spaces, are located in Tweedy Mile where the project site is located. The off-street supply comprises 635 spaces in City-owned lots and 1,710 spaces in private lots.
In the Park Once Program Area, the parking requirements may be met within 1,300 feet (!/l mile) of a specific land use. The applicant has demonstrated in Attachment 2 that there are 144 public parking spaces within O.15 miles of the project site. This does not include on-street parking and private parking lots. The public parking available on City-owned lots and public streets is more than adequate to meet the parking spaces otherwise required by Code. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the applicant is exploring opportunities with nearby properties for shared parking on private parking lots. A shared parking agreement would prevent towing of vehicles belonging to food hall customers if parked in a private lot in the event the owner of the private lot decides to enforce parking rules.
Noise
Those most impacted are the residents north of the project site along San Carlos Avenue. Although there is an alley and public parking lot between the project site and adjacent residences, the closest distance is only about 60 feet building to building. As such, a noise study has been prepared for City Council's consideration and is included as Attachment D. Conditions of approval have been included in the Resolution to mitigate noise impacts, which are based on the noise study's recommendations.
The conditions require the following:
* Reduced volume for speakers located in the rear terrace and upper lounge. * Noise barriers:
ffl 10-foot-highbarrierforentrancealongrearalley
ffl 10-foot-high barrier in rear lounge
ffl 7-foot-high barrier for play area
* Noise restrictions a:[ter 10 p.m. in rear areas
* Additional measures to ensure reduced noise impacts during operation Implementation of the conditions of approval and the applicant's intent to limit live entertainment to musical performances ofno more than four (4) performers at atime, three days a week, and ending entertainment by 10:00 PM will reduce impacts to neighboring residents. Entertainment will be oriented inward toward the courtyard to minimize sound transmission to surrounding properties. All performances will comply with city noise standards and operational conditions.
In the event the Police Department or Code Enforcement Division receives excessive complaints regarding noise or unruly disturbances, the City Council has the authority to consider the matter, imposing additional conditions, or revoking the CUP.
Maximum Occupancy
Staff reviewed the maximum occupancy for the food hall and determined that if all the tables and chairs were removed to allow for standing room only, the 7,750-square-foot customer area could potentially accommodate up to 1,550 people. However, amore realistic estimate that considers tables 6 14
and chairs reduces occupancy to around 517 people. These estimates are based on the occupant load provided in the 2025 California Building Code. Only areas available to customers were considered and building spaces available only to employees were not. It is difficult to gauge the number of people attending a popular live event venue, but conditions are in place that require management to monitor noise and provide security.

47 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Place @ Tweedy Noise Study
Acoustics Group, Inc., (AGI) was retained to conduct a noise study for The Place @ Tweedy Project in South Gate, CA. AGI has reviewed the City of South Gate Noise Standards, conducted noise measurements, analyzed the noise levels from future noise sources at the site, assessed the impact of the future noise to determine compliance with the Exterior Noise Standards, and recommended noise control measures.
The Place @ Tweedy proposes an open-air Outdoor food hall with a central outdoor plaza providing live entertainment. Two operating cases were evaluated: Case I (Typica[ Operations Noise (without live entertainment 10AM to 11PM) and Case 2 (Typical Operations Noise with Live music entertainment 12PM to 9PM).
For Case 1, the future noise level without noise control would be 55.4, 44.7, and 50.4 dBA at the residences to the north (ST1 ), south (ST2), and northwest (ST3), respectively. The operations noise at the nearest residential receptors to north (ST1 ) and northwest (ST3) would exceed the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard of 50 dBA. At the residences to the south (ST2), the noise from operations would comply with the City or South Gate Daytime Noise Standard. At STI, ST2, and ST3, the future noise level from Case I will exceed the Nighttime Noise Standard of 40 dBA.
For Case 2, the future noise level without noise control would be 55.5, 45.1, and 51.1 dBA at the residences to the north (STI), south (ST2), northwest (ST3), respectively. The operations noise at the nearest residential receptors to north (ST1 ) and northwest (ST3) would exceed the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard of 50 dBA. At the residences to the south (ST2), the noise from operations would comply with the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard. Case 2 would only occur during the daytime.
Noise control suggestions have been identified to reduce the noise leve(s to comply with the City of South Gate Noise Standards.
This report has been organized into multiple sections for ease of reference. Section I introduces the Project and provides a general discussion on the Project Components.
Section 2 discusses Noise Fundamentals, and Section 3 presents the Noise Standards.
Section 4 summarizes the noise measurement data. Section 5 discusses the Noise Analysis, Section 6 discusses the Impact Assessment and Section 7 presents the Noise Control Recommendations. Section 8 discusses the Conclusion.

2. NOISE
The magnitude by which noise affects its surrounding environment is measured on a logarithmic scale in decibels (dB). Because the human ear is limited to hearing a specific range of frequencies, the A-weighted filter system is used to form relevant results. A- weighted sound levels are represented as dBA. Figure 3 shows typical A-weighted exterior and interior noise levels that occur in human environments.
Several noise metrics have been developed to evaluate noise. Leq is the energy average noise level and corresponds to a steady-state sound level that has the same acoustical energy as the sum of all the time varying noise events. Lmax is the maximum noise level measured during a sampling period, and Lxx are the statistical noise levels that are exceeded xx-% of the time of the measurement. L50 is the average noise level that is exceeded 50% of the time, 30 minutes in a 60 minute period.

4. EXISTING NOISE LEVELS
AGI conducted a site visit on September 22 to 23, 2025 to observe the project site and to conduct one (1) long-term (NMI) and three (3) short-term (ST1-3) noise measurements to document baseline ambient noise levels. Figure 4 shows the location of the noise measurements.
At receptor NM1, the measured hourly Leq ranged from 49.2 to 67.3 dBA with contributing noise sources from vehicular traffic and typical community noise (people, gardeners, garbage truck). During the short-term noise measurements at STI, the measured Leq was 56.7 dBA with contributing noise from vehicular traffic, community noise, and nearby HVAC. The measured Leq was 59.8 and 57.O dBA at ST2 and ST3, respectively with contributing noise sources from vehicular traffic and community noise.
Table 2 summarizes the noise measurement data from the survey. Refer to the Appendix for the measurement data sheets.

Long-term 24-hour hourly noise levels were estimated for ST1 through ST3 based on the noise measurement at NMI. During the operational hours, existing ambient noise levels exceed the City of South Gate Daytime and Nighttime Noise Standards of 50 and 40, dBA.
5. NOISE ANALYSIS
AGI acoustical data and advanced acoustic modeling technologies were used to evaluate and assess the Project's operations to determine if noise control measures will be needed. The CadnaA Noise Prediction Model was used to estimate the worst-case operations associated with the project. CadnaA uses industry-accepted propagation algorithms and user defined sound power based on ISO 9613-2 standards. ISO 9613-2 is an internationally recognized standard that establishes a method for calculating the attenuation of noise from outdoor propagation, in order to predict the levels of noise at a distance from a variety of sources. The calculations account for classical sound wave divergence, plus attenuation factors resulting from air absorption, basic ground effects, and barrier/structure shielding. Air absorption was considered to be under "standard day" conditions of 59o F and 70% relative humidity. The site plans and topography were inputted into CadnaA to establish the x, y, and z site geometrics for the analysis. The noise generated by future operations was calculated by inputting acoustical sources (AGI in-house acoustical database of children playing, live music, background music, and entertainment areas calibrated to number of occupants) as area sources with constant level of activity. Refer to previous Figure 4 for the location of the analyzed noise sensitive receptors (STI through ST3).

Live entertainment music was assumed to be 83 dBA at 3 feet and background music was assumed to be 71 dBA at 3 feet. A)I cases assumed a worst case scenario with full occupancy. Refer to the Appendix for occupancy drawings.
The noise level was analyzed to assess the potential for noise impact at the neighboring commercial properties and residences. Two operating cases were evaluated:
* Case I : Typical Operations Noise (without live entertainment) (1 0AM to II PM) * Case 2: Typical Operations Noise with Live music entertainment (12PM to 9PM) Case 1 (Typical Operations Noise)
Case I involves typical operations (full occupancy, open doors, play area, and background music) without any live music entertainment during the hours of 10AM to I I PM. The future noise level without noise control would be as high as 55.4, 44.7, and
50.4 dBA at the residences to the north (ST"l), south (ST2), northwest (ST3), respectively.
Refer to Table 3 for a summary of the Case I operating noise. Refer to Figure 5 For the Case 'l Noise Contour Map without Noise Control.

3. Loud amplified music (live or DJ type) should not exceed 84.2 dBA at 3 feet from noise source/speakers. Loud amplified music/speakers should be restricted to the First Floor Stage.
4. Minimize the gain on sub-woofers to limit low frequency noise to the extent feasible.
5. The following barrier heights and locations are recommended:
a. A minimum 10-ft high noise barrier at the north of the project site as per Figure 8. A solid I O-ft high gate/door can be incorporated into the 1 0-ft high noise barrier design to allow for access. Any gaps in the door design should be minimized with plastic or rubber flap seals along the sides and bottom of the door. The door should automatically close affer opening and never be propped open. A second barrier screen located beyond the entrance door may need to be implemented after operations begin to further buffer music and crowd noise. This barrier would block line of sight to the outdoor area from the exterior.
b. A minimum 7-ft high noise barrier along the west of the play area as per Figure 8.
c. Noise barriers should be continuous structures without any gaps or openings and should be constructed from plexi-glass, concrete masonry block, stucco on wood, or any combination of these materials.

11. After project completion, noise monitoring should be conducted during startup and full operations to verify compliance. If the project noise exceeds the City of South Gate Noise Standards, then alternative noise control measures will be evaluated to reduce operations noise where appropriate.
12.Alternative noise control measures may include administrative noise control (e.g. lowering background music, eliminating/changing patio games after certain hours etc.) and engineering noise control (permanent noise monitoring system, noise barriers, etc.).
1. Engineering Noise Control
i. Permanent noise monitoring system.
a. Install a permanent noise monitoring system with real time text and email alerts at the northern project property line to notify The Place @ Tweedy when the operations noise is approaching or exceeding the noise limit.
b. When a noise exceedance is identified and confirmed, administrative noise control should be implemented.

c. Tomonitoroperationsnoise,asoundlevelmeterwithaType/Class 2 microphone is suggested. For admissible acoustic data when in a court or at the city, a Type 1 microphone is required. In terms of equipment recommendations, Quest or Bruel & Kjaer sound level meters should be considered.
13.4 registered engineer or architect should be consulted to ensure that the modifications meet all safety and building codes.
8. NOISE CONTROL EVALUATION
Daytime Noise Control Analysis (Worst Case)
The noise levels from the daytime worst case (Case 2) was used to evaluate noise contro[ as the noise Case I daytime would generate noise levels that are similar to or lower than Case 2. With the suggested noise control recommendations (#1 through #4), the future noise level would be as high as 49.7, 44.5, and 47.5 dBA at the residences to the north (ST1 ), south (ST2), northwest (ST3), respectively. The future noise levels will comply with the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard of 50 dBA. However, with recommendations #1 through #4, the operations noise Jevel will continue to exceed the City's Nighttime Noise Standard of 40 dBA. It is recommended that the project not operate past 10PM or adopt recommendations #6 through #IO. Refer to Table 5 for a summary for the Daytime Noise Control Noise Levels and Assessment. Refer to Figure 'l 1 for the Daytime Nosie Control Noise Contour Map.

9. CONCLUSION
Acoustics Group, Inc., (AGI) was retained to conduct a noise study for The Place @ Tweedy Project in South Gate, CA. AGI has reviewed the City of South Gate Noise Standards, conducted noise measurements, analyzed the noise levels from future noise sources at the site, assessed the impact of the future noise to determine compliance with the Exterior Noise Standards, and recommended noise control measures.
The Place @ Tweedy proposes an open-air Outdoor food hall with a central outdoor plaza providing live entertainment. Two operating cases were evacuated: Case 1 (Typical Operations Noise (without live entertainment 10AM to 11PM) and Case 2 (Typical Operations Noise with Live music entertainment 1 2PM to 9PM).
For Case 1, the future noise level without noise control would be 55.4, 44.7, and 50.4 dBA at the residences to the north (STI ), south (ST2), and northwest (ST3), respectively. The operations noise at the nearest residential receptors to north (STI ) and northwest (ST3) would exceed the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard of 50 dBA. At the residences to the south (ST2), the noise from operations would comply with the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard. At ST1, ST2, and ST3, the future noise level from Case 1 will exceed the Nighttime Noise Standard of 40 dBA.
For Case 2, the future noise level without noise control would be 55.5, 45.1, and 51.1 dBA at the residences to the north (STI), south (ST2), northwest (ST3), respectively. The operations noise at the nearest residential receptors to north (STI ) and northwest (ST3) would exceed the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard of 50 dBA. At the residences to the south (ST2), the noise from operations would comply with the City of South Gate Daytime Noise Standard. Case 2 would only occur during the daytime.
Noise control suggestions have been identified to reduce the noise levels to comply with the City of South Gate Noise Standards.

For the Regular Meeting of: October 28, 2025
Originating artment: Human Resources

Rob Houston
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CODE FOR DESIGNATED CITY PERSONNEL, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE SECTION 18730 0F THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS PURPOSE: California Government Code F> 87305.5 requires that each local agency adopt a Conflict of Interest Code for designated City persoru'iel, adopting by reference Section 18730 of the California Code of Regulations.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Adopt a Resolution amending the City's Conflict of Interest Code.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact from adopting a Resolution to amend the City's Conflict of Interest Code.
BACKGROUND: The Political Reform Act, California Governrnent Code 6§ 81000, et seq. (the "Act"), requires each state and local governrnent agency to adopt and promulgate a conflict of interest code. The FPPC has adopted a regulation (2 California Code of Regulations § 18730), that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be incorporated by reference into the City's code. After public notice and hearing Section 18730 may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments to the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the FPPC, if incorporated by reference in the City's code, also become duly adopted to ensure compliance. The incorporation page, Regulation 18730, and the Appendix attached to the proposed, amended Resolution, which designate positions and establish disclosure categories, shall collectively constitute the Conflict of Interest Code (the "Code") of the City of South Gate.
All officials and designated positions shall file their statements of economic interests, also known as a Form 700, with the City Clerk as the City's Filing Official. If a statement is received in signed paper format, the City Clerk shall obtain the original document and transmit it to the FPPC or other agency as required upon request. If a statement is electronically filed using an appropriate Fornn 700 e-filing system, the City Clerk will have access to those filings. The City Clerk will make all retained statements available for public inspection and reproduction during regular business hours (California Governrnent Code F> 81008.) 1 108
Currently, the City requires a substantial number of employees to fill out the Fon'n 700 on an annual basis, many of whom are not required under existing California law. According to the FPPC, every elected official and public employee who makes or influences governmenta[ decisions is required to submit a Statement of Economic Interest, also known as a Form 700. The Fori'n 700 provides transparency and ensures accountability in two ways: (1) It provides necessary information to the public about an official's personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interests of the public and not erihancing their personal finances; and (2) It SERVES as a reminder to the public official of potential conflicts of interest so that the official can abstain from making or participating in decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest.
California Governrnent Code F> 87200 outlines the specific provisions concerning who shall complete Form 700s, of which those positions applicable to the City of South Gate are in bold:
"This article is applicable to elected state officers, judges and commissioners of courts of the judicial branch of government, members of the Public Utilities Commission, members of the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, members of the Fair Political Practices Commission, members of the California Coastal Commission, members of the High-Speed Rail Authority, members of planning commissions, members of the board of supervisors, district attorneys, county counsels, county treasurers, and chief administrative officers of counties, mayors, city managers, city attorneys, city treasurers, chief administrative officers and members of city councils of cities, and other public officials who manage public investments, and to candidates for any of these offices at election."
California Code of Regulations Fp 18700.3(b)(1) provides, in relevant part:
"(b) for purposes of Section 87200, the following definitions apply: (1) "Other public officials who manage public investments" means:
(A)Members of boards and commissions, including pension and retirement boards or commissions, or of committees thereof, who exercise responsibility for the management of public investments;
(B) High-level officers and employees of public agencies who exercise primary responsibility for the management of public investments, such as chief or principal investment offers or chief financial manager. This category shall not include officers and employees who work under the supervision of the chief or principal investment officers or the chief financial manager; and (C) Individual who, pursuant to a contract with a state or local government agency, performs the same or substantially all the same functions that would otherwise be performed by the public officials described in subdivision (bXlXB)."
Accordingly, Section 18700.3(b)(1) would require that the City's Director of Administrative Services, who functions as the chief financial manager for the City, would qualify under the category of "other public officials who manage public investments," and, therefore, be required 2 109
to file a Form 700. Because those persons who work in finance for the City work under the supervision of the Director of Administrative Services, they would not be required to file a Fon'n 700. Additionally, members of the City's Public Finance Authority may also be required to file Form 700s.
The City may also designate in its Conflict of Interest Code any other positions who shall be required to fill out a Form 700. Pursuant to the City's Municipal Code, only Title 1 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 1.52 (Municipal Elections), Section 1.52.081 (Electronic Filing), Subsection (b) requires: "Any person holding a position listed in Gover'm'nent Code Section 87200 or designated in the city's local conflict of interest code adopted pursuant to 87300 shall file any required statement of economic interest reports (Form 700) online or electronically with the city clerk." California Governrnent Code Ep 87302(a) details how to identify the designated positions that would be required to file a Form 700: "Each conflict of interest code shall contain the following provisions: (a) Specific enumeration of the positions within the agency, other than those specified in Section 87200, that involve the making or participating of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest..." Traditionally, these positions tend to include department heads and, in some cities, deputy directors and other high-level managers. Almost universally, these positions do not include mid-level managers, supervisors, technicians, and administrative staff.
However, the City of South Gate's Conflict of Interest Code requires a substantial number of mid- and lower-level employees to file Fortn 700s, which is not required by California law or prevailing industry standards. These additional positions currently include: Administrative Services Coordinator, Associate Engineer, Assistant Engineer, Assistant Plaru'ier, Budget/Payroll Analyst, Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer, Code Enforcement Supervisor, Community Development Technician II, Community Development Technician III, Electrical and General Maintenance Superintendent, Equipment Maintenance Superintendent, Executive Assistant to Chief of Police, Executive Assistant to the City Attorney, Executive Assistant to the City Manager, Grounds Supervisor, Housing & Grants Analyst, Housing Specialist, Information Systems Administrator, Infori'nation Systems Analyst, Management Analyst, Park Facility Maintenance Supervisor, Police Lieutenant, Purchasing Supervisor, Recreation Supervisor, Revenue Manager, Senior Accountant, Senior Administrative Analyst, Senior Civil Engineer, Senior Cornrnunity Development Technician, Senior Engineer, Senior Financial Analyst, Senior Planner, Street and Sewer Superintendent, Technical Services Manager, Training Specialist, and Water Division Manager.
The City's Conflict of Interest Code also requires members of certain committees, comi'nissions, and boards to file a Form 700, which is not required under the law: Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission of the City of South Gate Member, Utility Authority Board Member, Public Access Corporation Board Member, Parks and Recreation Commission Member, Civil Service Commission Member, Citizen's Advisory Cornrnittee Member, and Cornrnission for South Gate Youth.
This amendment to the City's Conflict of Interest Code, last updated on December 13, 2022 (Resolution No. 2022-71-CC), seeks to limit the number of persons mandated to file Form 700s to those required under California Government Code Fp 87200, California Code of Regulations F> 18700.3(b%l), and a few additional high-level positions that may make or influence governmental decisions. Specifically, those required to file Form 700s would be limited to the following individuals:
3 110
A. Required under California Government Code F> 87200: Mayor and City Council Members, Planning Cornrnission Members, Parks and Recreation Commissioners, City Clerk, City Treasurer, City Manager, and City Attorney.
B. Designated as "other public officials who manage public investments," as outlined by California Code of Regulations § 18700.3(b)(1): Director of Administrative Services and Board Members of the Public Finance Authority.
C. Additional Positions as Designated by the Conflict of Interest Code:
1. Assistant City Manager, Chief of Police, Director of Community Development, Director of Human Resources, Director of Parks & Recreation, Director of Public Works, or any other position not listed but later designated as an Executive Management-level position.
2. Police Captain.
3. Building Official, Economic Development Manager, Accounting & Finance Manager, Budget & Procurement Manager, Deputy Director of Human Resources, Deputy Director of Parks & Recreation, Deputy Director of Public Works - Field Operations, Housing Manager, Parks Superintendent, Planning Manager, Risk Manager, Transportation and CIP Division Manager, Water Resources and Development Division Manager or any other position not listed but later designated as a member of the Division Management Association.
In accordance with the FPPC's requirement that there be a notice of a 30-day comment period before this item is brought to the City Council for approval, the City Clerk provided such notice on Thursday, September 25, 2025, on the City's website and on the City's notice boards.

AGENDA BNLL
For the Regular Meeting of: October 28, 2025
Originating Department: Human Resources
Human Resources Director:
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO AMEND RESOLUTION N0. 6377 (RULES AND
REGULATIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF CIVIL SERVICE PROCEDURES),
ADOPTING A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
RULES, AND TO REMOVE THE HIRING RULES FROM A RESOLUTION AND MOVE
THEM INTO AN ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION
PURPOSE: To amend Resolution No. 6377 (Rules and Regulations for the Administration of Civil Service Procedures), to approve Personnel Management Rules, and to remove thehiring rules from a resolution and move them into an Administrative Regulation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider an action to:
1. Amending Resolution No. 6377 (Rules and Regulations for the Administration of Civil Service Procedures);
2. Approve Personnel Management Rules; and
3. Remove the Hiring Rules from a resolution and move them into an Administrative Regulation.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND: OnJune24,1997,theCityCouncilpassed,approved,andadoptedResolution No. 6377 (A Resolution of the City Council of the City of South Gate Amending and Restating in its Entirety the "Rules and Regulations for the Administration of the Civil Service Procedures" (hereinafter "Civil Service Rules"). The purpose of these Civil Service Rules was to adopt, implement and administer the recruitment and employment procedures, under which employees will be accorded fair and just treatment.
Attachment "A" to Resolution No. 6377, which is titled, "Rules and Regulations for the Administration of Civil Service Procedures," provides for these rules and procedures, which include, but are not limited to, the classification plan, compensation plan, examination procedures, recruitment rules, disciplinary procedures, grievance procedures, nepotism policy, and others. The Civil Service Rules were intended to provide an objective and fair approach to how all employees are treated; however, over the past 28 years since its implementation, the rules have demonstrated that they are ofttimes too rigid, that some rules migrated into the employees' Memoranda of 1 116
Understanding (MOUs), and that some rules have been made obsolete by changes in law, such as moving away from an "Affin'native Action Plan" and towards equal opportunity employment.
While the Civil Service Rules advanced an objective approach to the hiring process, it unintentionally yielded difficulties to the hiring process when applied. While there are several examples of how the Civil Service Rules hindered the City's ability to effectively recruit employees, the problem was universally recognized by both management and labor. In an effort to resolve these issues, the City met with all of its recognized labor associations (Municipal Employees' Association (MEA), Professional Mid-Management Association (PMMA), Division Management Association (DMA), Police Management Association (PMA), and Police Officers' Association (POA)) to create a new Hiring Policy together to which everyone agrees. However, because these hiring policies will be placed into an Administrative Regulation, they need to be removed from the Resolution for the Civil Service Rules. The amended Resolution for the Personnel Management Rules is essentially the Civil Service Rules with the hiring protocols removed and some other modernizing updates. The Personnel Management Rules are attached hereto as Attachment "A."
ANALYSIS: In an effort to make the hiring process more flexible, efficient, and effective, the City's management team met with all of the employee Associations to come up with a new set of hiring rules. Staff requests that these hiring rules be removed from a resolution and have them placed in an Administrative Regulation ("Hiring Policy"). This will enable the stakeholders to quickly make changes and adjustments to the current rules through the meet and confer process.
Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is Administrative Regulation 336 ("Hiring Policy"), which outlines the changes to the current hiring process. Some of those updates include, but are not limited to:
* Once the Department of Human Resources ("HR") has sorted and ranked all applications, the top ten will be the presumptive list of applicants who will be interviewed by an independent panel. However, prior to the constitution of that panel, the hiringmanager may review the top twenty applications and, if there are nondiscriminatory reasons why one placing number eleven to twenty should replace one placing one through ten, that change may occur to ensure the best candidates are moving forward in the recruitment process. * Internal and/or promotional recruitments may proceed in a closed recruitment (only employees are permitted to apply) and may move forward as long as one applicant has met the minimum qualifications. This is to permit the City to promote qualified employees without subjecting them to the competitive recruitment process. * The hiring manager will receive the top five applications for a vacant position (instead of three); however, if the hiring manager has a nondiscriminatory reason why a particular candidate is not a good fit for the position, he/she may "non-select" the candidate, effectively removing him/her on the list. This will permit the hiring manager to move through an eligibility list, fairly consider each candidate, and exhaust the list instead of waiting for a year for the list to expire.
* By placing these hiring rules in an Administrative Regulation, it will peri'nit quick changes through the meet and confer process requiring the approval of the Personnel Officer and the employee Associations.
2 117
The attached Personnel Management Rules (Attachment "A") is simply a reiteration of the Civil Service Rules with the hiring rules contained in Attachment "B" removed from them. The reason for the title change is so that any reference to the Civil Service Rules will be understood as a past practice to ensure the correct rules are being applied when referenced as the Personnel Management Rules. There are also some updates to ensure the new Personnel Management Rules are consistent with prevailing law and the employee MOUs, which include but are not limited to:
@ The "Affin'native Action Program" is replaced with the "Equal Employment Opportunity" statement
* Adds that the Classification Plan shall be approved as part of each fiscal year budget, which is already the practice.
@ Clarifies that the Compensation Plan be set forth on a comprehensive and consolidated salary pay table, which is consistent with the City's current practice and consistent with the California Public Employment Retirement Law (PERL). * A statement that the disciplinai'y process and grievance process shall be guided by the employee's MOU
It is important to note that all of the employee labor Associations, MEA, PMMA, DMA, PMA, and POA, contributed to the creation of the Hiring Policy and all agreed to it, which is evidenced by everyone's signature on Attachment "B" (Administrative Regulation 336 - Hiring Policy) ATTACHMENT: Proposed Resolution with its Attachments Attachment A: Personnel Management Rules

establishing the above criteria.
6.2.2.2 Bumping Rights.
The employee laid-off shall be entitled to bump to the position in a class in which he/she currently or

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. l TO CONTRACT N0. 2025-03-CC WITH 'r.y. LIN
INTERNATIONAL, FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION
SERVICES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITYWIDE RESIDENTIAL RESURFACING, PHASE IV, CITY PROJECT NO. 699-ST
PURPOSE: To approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2025-03-CC with T.Y. Lin International, ("TY Lin") to fund additional Construction Management and Inspection Services for services for the Citywide Residential Resurfacing, Phase IV, City Project No. 699-ST ("the Residential Resurfacing Project IV"), through construction completion and project closeout.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2025-03-CC with 'r.y. Lin International, ("Agreement") to provide additional construction management and inspection services for the construction of for the Citywide Residential Resurfacing, Phase IV, City Project No. 699-ST ("the Residential Resurfacing Project IV"), at a cost not to exceed $112,537; and b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement is in the amount of $112,537 and it will be funded with $89,247 in SB-1 Funds and $23,290 in Local Funds budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program. The revised contract amount is $342,537, inclusive of the Agreement and Amendment No. 1. The total project budget is $5,700,325 which is funded with Local Funds ($1,881,000), Measure R Funds ($89,594), Urban Greening Fund ($250,000), CDBG Funds ($752,540) and State SB-l Funds ($2,727,191).
ANALYSIS: The project is currently under construction. Under the original agreement, TY Lin was contracted to provide constniction management and inspection services for a 100-working- day schedule, with early constructability and submittal reviews beginning in January 2025 and field construction starting on May 27, 2025.

Since then, the construction contract with Sequel Contractors ("Sequel"), Contract No. 2025-30- CC, was awarded for a longer 130-working-day schedule, with work expected to finish by December 5, 2025. To keep construction management services in line with this schedule, additional time is needed for TY Lin to continue supporting the project through completion.
Amendment No. 1 adds two more months of construction management and inspection services:
one month to cover the extended construction period and another for project close-out activities.
This extension encompasses the extra work requested by the City, weather-related delays, and unforeseen conditions encountered in the field.
Staff recommend approving Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2025-03-CC with TY Lin in the amount of $112,537 to extend services through January 31, 2026, ensuring proper completion and close-out of the project.
BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes funding for two projects: the Citywide Residential Resurfacing, Phase IV, and the Citywide Sidewalk Improvements, Phase X. These projects aim to repair residential street pavement and replace damaged sidewalks. To improve efficiency, staff combined both projects into one construction effort under the Residential Resurfacing Project. This approach allows the City to complete pavement and sidewalk repairs at the same time, minimize disruption to residents and motorists, streamline project management, and reduce overall costs through a single, combined bid. The proposed agreement provides for the construction of both projects together.
On January 14, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement with TY Lin for construction management and inspection services in the amount of $230,000, based on a 100-working-day schedule. Construction began on May 27, 2025, with completion originally scheduled for December 5, 2025, totaling 130 working days.
Subsequently, on May 13, 2025, the City Council awarded Contract No. 2025-30-CC to Sequel Contractors in the amount of $3,546,573 for the construction of the project. This contract also established a 130-working-day schedule, beginning May 27, 2025, and ending December 5, 2025.
A time extension was later required to address added project scope, weather delays, and unforeseen field conditions.
Amendment No. 1 extends TY Lin's contract to include two additional months of construction management and inspection services, adds the necessary scope of work to complete the project, and provides one extra month to support project close-out activities.
