City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Urgency Ordinance No. 1286 Extending Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1283 - Warehouse Moratorium
Recommendation:

A. Find that the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is general policy and procedure-making activity that is unrelated to any specific project, which must undergo separate CEQA review, and that will not result in direct physical changes or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; and
B. Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 1286, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, extending a moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking within the City of Vernon for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, or until City Council's adoption of an ordinance addressing the moratorium issues, whichever occurs first.

Background:

On June 21, 2022, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1283 (Attachment 2), a 45-day urgency moratorium ordinance. Ordinance No. 1283 was adopted to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by prohibiting the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking in the City of Vernon.

Subsequently, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d) which requires that at least 10-days prior to the expiration of a 45-day urgency ordinance the City issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the moratorium, staff provided Council with a report at its July 19, 2022 City Council meeting (Attachment 3). The report described staff's engagement with the business community and its commencement of the process to amend Chapter 17 (Zoning Code) of the Vernon Municipal Code (VMC).

Staff is prepared to present a draft ordinance pertaining to warehouse use to City Council for first reading at its August 2, 2022 meeting. The permanent ordinance would change new warehouse uses on lots encompassing 150,000 square feet or more from allowance by right to approval through approval of a development agreement by the City Council.

NEED TO EXTEND THE MORATORIUM
The urgency moratorium (authorized by Urgency Ordinance No. 1283) was immediately required to preserve public health, safety, and welfare. It is recommended that proposed Ordinance No. 1286 be adopted to immediately extend the moratorium to make certain that permits for warehouse and related businesses are issued only under adequate regulations and consistent with the City’s future goals for development and expansion. Temporary extension of the Moratorium will allow the City sufficient time to conclude the preparation of comprehensive studies and plans for the regulation of such activities. The absence of this Ordinance would allow the proliferation of such businesses and their undesirable secondary impacts, and create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any amendments to the General Plan and the Zoning Code, and Specific Plan or Plans being developed, as well as the vision for the City going forward, contemplated by the City Council.

It is proposed that the moratorium be extended for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days beyond its original expiration date, such that the Moratorium will now expire on June 20, 2023, or until the effective date of an ordinance adopted by City Council addressing the issues related to the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking, whichever occurs first.

Although amendments to the Zoning Code are being proposed at the August 2, 2022 Council meeting via the first reading of Ordinance No. 1287, adoption will follow a second reading at a subsequent Council meeting. Even if approved by the City Council in successive meetings, the proposed permanent ordinance would not take effect prior to the current 45-day warehouse moratorium expiration date of August 5, 2022.

Under Government Code Section 65858(a), the City Council may extend the urgency ordinance and moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days, and subsequently for one year, for a total of two years. Due to noticing, public hearing and procedural requirements for the adoption of ordinance noted above, staff recommends that Ordinance No. 1283 be extended to remain in place until the permanent zoning change takes effect.

Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 17.18.030 and Government Code Section 65091, on July 21, 2022, the public hearing notice was posted at City Hall, and published in the Huntington Park Bulletin (Attachment 4).

ISSUES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST
SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. The City of Vernon (City) is a municipal corporation and a chartered city of the State of California organized and existing under its charter and the Constitution of the State of California.

B. The State Planning and Zoning Law (California Government Code Sections 65000, et seq.) broadly empowers the City to plan for and regulate the use of land in order to provide for orderly development, the public health, safety, and welfare, and a balancing of property rights and the desires of the community.

C. Government Code Section 65858 provides that a city legislative body may, in order to protect public safety, health and welfare, adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided such urgency measures are adopted by four-fifths vote of the legislative body and include findings that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of additional entitlements would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

D. On June 21, 2022, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council by Government Code Section 65858, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1283 by a unanimous vote, establishing a 45-day moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking within the City of Vernon (Moratorium) and declaring the urgency thereof. The City Council also adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1283 as an emergency measure, pursuant to Chapter 4.4 of the Charter of the City of Vernon, for the immediate preservation of the public safety, health, or peace.

E. The Moratorium will expire on August 5, 2022, unless extended pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, which authorizes the City Council, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and a public hearing, to adopt an Ordinance No. 1286

Page 2 of 7 ends

_______________________
ordinance extending the moratorium for ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, upon approval by a four-fifths vote, and upon making the same findings required for initial adoption of the Moratorium.

F. Government Code Section 65858(d) requires the City Council, at least ten days prior to expiration of the Moratorium or any extension thereof, to issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Moratorium.

G. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858(d), on July 19, 2022, the City Council approved and issued a ten-day report, describing the measures being taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the Moratorium.

H. The City intends to update the Vernon Municipal Code to address the potential health, safety, and welfare impacts of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking, which are not addressed by the City’s current zoning regulations.

I. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council wishes to extend the Moratorium for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, or until the effective date of an ordinance adopted by City Council addressing the issues related to the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking, whichever occurs first.

J. At a duly noticed public hearing, testimony evidence was heard and presented from all persons protesting the same and from members of City staff, and the City Council has reviewed, analyzed, considered, and studied all oral and written testimony and evidence presented at such public hearing.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON HEREBY ORDAINS:

SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds and determines that the above recitals are true and correct and are a substantial part of this Ordinance.

SECTION 3. The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby extends Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1283 and the moratorium on any establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking within the City of Vernon, for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days beyond its original expiration date, or until the effective date of an ordinance adopted by City Council addressing the issues related to the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking, whichever occurs first.

Ordinance No. 1286

Page 3 of 7 ends

_______________________
SECTION 4. Urgency Findings. California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and a public hearing, to adopt an ordinance extending the Moratorium for ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, upon approval by a four-fifths vote, and upon making the same findings required for initial adoption of the Moratorium. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858 and Vernon City Charter Chapter 4.4, in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, the City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds, determines, and declares that:

A. The City has experienced significant growth of large warehouses, distribution facilities, and related businesses. These facilities can generate unique environmental impacts on surrounding properties and the larger community, including frequent truck traffic, noise impacts from on-site operations, emissions and air quality issues, and maintenance impacts on City streets.

B. The Moratorium is being temporarily extended to allow the City sufficient time to review, study and revise the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to warehouse and related businesses in the City of Vernon. In light of the City’s exceptionally low vacancy rate and continued growth of large warehouse and related facilities, the City Council finds that the following adverse public safety, health, and welfare impacts are of real concern:

1. Establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses may create immediate irreversible and costly adverse impacts in the community; to wit, street damage, noise, vibration, and pollution. These impacts are already dire for the City and would worsen and become less manageable with every new warehouse facility that begins or expands its operation in the City of Vernon. The City cannot afford to continue to impose such impacts onto its budget and its citizens and cannot allow these impacts to accumulate any further while the General Plan and Zoning Code are updated, and Specific Plan or Plans are being developed.

2. It is now essential to determine the development capacity within the City where such businesses are currently permitted, considering the capabilities of infrastructure and public services.

3. Through analysis of the impacts currently imposed by the current amount of truck traffic generated by warehouse and related facilities, traffic studies to determine ways in which to minimize truck traffic impacts, and measures that the City can take to mitigate or prevent impacts from logistics facilities altogether.

4. Absent the adoption of this Ordinance, the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses could result in the negative and harmful secondary effects identified above.

Ordinance No. 1286

Page 4 of 7 ends

_______________________

5. As a result of the negative and harmful secondary effects associated with the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses, the current and immediate threat these businesses pose to the public health, safety, and welfare, and the potential zoning conflicts that would be created by such development, it is necessary to adopt a temporary extension of the Moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses in the City.

6. The Moratorium is necessary in order to protect the City and its residents, businesses and visitors from the potential health and safety impacts of logistics businesses, including air quality, noise, traffic, parking, and other impacts, and to preserve the quality of life and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding communities.

7. The Moratorium is immediately required to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare and should be extended immediately as an urgency ordinance, to make certain that permits for warehouse and related businesses are issued only under adequate regulations and consistent with the City’s future goals for development and expansion. Temporary extension of the Moratorium will allow the City sufficient time to conclude the preparation of comprehensive studies and plans for the regulation of such activities. The absence of this Ordinance would allow the proliferation of such businesses and their undesirable secondary impacts, and create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any amendments to the General Plan and the Zoning Code, and Specific Plan or Plans being developed, as well as the vision for the City going forward, contemplated by the City Council.

8. Truck trips generated by logistics facilities have direct impacts on the community including traffic, air quality, noise, vibrations, and health impacts on the community.

9. Truck traffic increases the maintenance costs of streets for the City. For example, a 1999 study for the City of Irwindale concluded that one loaded mining truck causes street damage equivalent to that caused by 10,000 automobiles. City of Irwindale Mining Reclamation Impact Study, prepared by Greystone, March 1999, Vol. I, p. iii @ 2.a., and Vol. II., pp. 25-29. A loaded mining truck weighs approximately 80,000 pounds, which is comparable to the average weight of loaded 18-wheeler trucks that commonly traverse the City of Vernon to and from warehouse facilities. The City intends to further research this issue and determine the impacts of trucks with three axles or more.

10.Trucks likely affect air quality, as their emissions are many times those of passenger vehicles, and thus are also likely to have concomitant health effects.

Diesel engines emit a complex mixture of air pollutants, including both gaseous Ordinance No. 1286

Page 5 of 7 ends

_______________________
and solid material. The solid material in diesel exhaust is known as diesel particulate matter (DPM). DPM is considered a subset of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). Most PM2.5 derives from combustion, such as use of gasoline and diesel fuels by motor vehicles, DPM is most concentrated adjacent to freeways and streets traveled by trucks. PM2.5 is the size of ambient particulate matter air pollution most associated with adverse health effects of the air pollutants that have ambient air quality standards.

These health effects include cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations, and premature death.

C. Over the next few months, the City will update its General Plan and Zoning Code and adopt a Specific Plan or Plans to update its goals and policies for the development of the City. While the City recognizes the value of warehouse facilities, the City must balance the interests of such businesses on the one hand, and the well-being of the community, attraction of land uses that create high-paying jobs, generate revenues to pay for road maintenance and other essential services, and ensure that warehouse facilities mitigate their fair share of impacts on the City and the surrounding community.

D. Because of the actual and potential detrimental impacts of warehouse and related uses upon the City, which impacts may not be presently adequately addressed by the City’s existing ordinances and zoning regulations, there is a need to temporarily extend the Moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking uses in order to study and develop policy guidance and potentially implement changes to the City’s zoning regulations and General Plan update.

E. The City Council further finds that the Moratorium is a matter of local and Citywide importance and is not directed towards any particular person or entity that seeks to operate warehouse and related facilities.

SECTION 5. Extension of Moratorium.

A. Moratorium: Based on the findings set forth herein for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare, during the effective period of this Ordinance, no application for permit will be accepted, no consideration of any application for permit will be made, and no permit will be issued by the City for the establishment, expansion, or modification of any logistics facilities within the City until this Ordinance has expired or has been repealed according to applicable law.

Subject to the Exemptions set forth below, all processing of existing applications for permits shall be suspended immediately.

3. Any new or renewed lease agreement.

4. The establishment, expansion, or modification of any warehouse or related facilities with pending permits (which includes submittal of a site plan for review) or that have already received full approvals and commenced construction or incurred expenses for construction prior to this Ordinance.

SECTION 6. Review and Study. During the period of this Ordinance, the Director of Public Works along with other City staff shall continue to review and study the adverse impacts of and the benefits provided by, warehouse and related facilities in the City, so as to quantify the concerns described in Section 4, and shall recommend proposed revisions to the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to these facilities, so as to enable the City to adequately and appropriately balance the rights of existing property owners and future applicants who wish to establish, expand, or modify logistics facilities, with the preservation of the health, safety and welfare of the communities.

SECTION 7. Duration of Ordinance. The Moratorium is hereby extended for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days beyond its original expiration date, such that the Moratorium will now expire on June 20, 2023, or until the effective date of an ordinance adopted by City Council addressing the issues related to the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, this Moratorium shall be of no further force and effect unless, after a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council further extends the Moratorium for an additional period of time pursuant to Government Code Section 65858.

SECTION 8. City Action. During the period of this Moratorium extension, the Director of Public Works or designee along with other City staff shall: (1) review and consider options for the regulation of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking within the City of Vernon, and (2) shall issue a written report describing the measures which the City has taken to address the conditions which led to the adoption of this Ordinance to the City Council at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this Moratorium, or any extension thereof, and such report shall be made available to the public.

SECTION 4. Urgency Findings. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65858 and Vernon City Charter Chapter 4.4, in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, the City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds, determines, and declares that:

B. Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City Council, in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare, to adopt an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency ordinance shall require a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended. Chapter 4.4 of the Vernon City Charter also authorizes the City Council to adopt an emergency ordinance for the immediate preservation of public safety, health, or peace.

C. This Ordinance is being adopted to allow the City sufficient time to review, study and revise the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to warehouse and related businesses in the City of Vernon. In light of the City’s exceptionally low vacancy rate and continued growth of large warehouse and related facilities, the City Council finds that the following adverse public safety, health, and welfare impacts are of real concern:
a. Establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses may create immediate irreversible and costly adverse impacts in the community; to wit, street damage, noise, vibration, and pollution. These impacts are already dire for the City and would worsen and become less Ordinance No. 1283

Page 4 of 8 ends

_______________________
manageable with every new warehouse facility that begins or expands its operation in the City of Vernon. The City cannot afford to continue to impose such impacts onto its budget and its citizens and cannot allow these impacts to accumulate any further while the General Plan and Zoning Code are updated, and Specific Plan or Plans are being developed.
b. It is now essential to determine the development capacity within the City where such businesses are currently permitted, considering the capabilities of infrastructure and public services.
c. Through analysis of the impacts currently imposed by the current amount of truck traffic generated by warehouse and related facilities, traffic studies to determine ways in which to minimize truck traffic impacts, and measures that the City can take to mitigate or prevent impacts from logistics facilities altogether.
d. Absent the adoption of this Ordinance, the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses could result in the negative and harmful secondary effects identified above.
e. As a result of the negative and harmful secondary effects associated with the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses, the current and immediate threat these businesses pose to the public health, safety, and welfare, and the potential zoning conflicts that would be created by such development, it is necessary to adopt a temporary, fortyfive (45) day moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse and related businesses in the City.
f. A moratorium is necessary in order to protect the City and its residents, businesses and visitors from the potential health and safety impacts of logistics businesses, including air quality, noise, traffic, parking, and other impacts, and to preserve the quality of life and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding communities.
g. A moratorium is immediately required to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare and should be adopted immediately as an urgency ordinance, to make certain that permits for warehouse and related businesses are issued only under adequate regulations and consistent with the City’s future goals for development and expansion. Imposition of a moratorium will allow the City sufficient time to conclude the preparation of comprehensive studies and plans for the regulation of such activities. The absence of this Ordinance would allow the proliferation of such businesses and their undesirable secondary impacts, and create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any amendments to the General Plan and the Zoning Code, and Specific Plan or Ordinance No. 1283

Page 5 of 8 ends

_______________________
Plans being developed, as well as the vision for the City going forward, contemplated by the City Council.
h. Truck trips generated by logistics facilities have direct impacts on the community including traffic, air quality, noise, vibrations, and health impacts on the community.
i. Truck traffic increases the maintenance costs of streets for the City. For example, a 1999 study for the City of Irwindale concluded that one loaded mining truck causes street damage equivalent to that caused by 10,000 automobiles. City of Irwindale Mining Reclamation Impact Study, prepared by Greystone, March 1999, Vol. I, p. iii @ 2.a., and Vol. II., pp. 25-29. A loaded mining truck weighs approximately 80,000 pounds, which is comparable to the average weight of loaded 18-wheeler trucks that commonly traverse the City of Vernon to and from warehouse facilities. The City intends to further research this issue and determine the impacts of trucks with three axles or more. j. Trucks likely affect air quality, as their emissions are many times those of passenger vehicles, and thus are also likely to have concomitant health effects.

Diesel engines emit a complex mixture of air pollutants, including both gaseous and solid material. The solid material in diesel exhaust is known as diesel particulate matter (DPM). DPM is considered a subset of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). Most PM2.5 derives from combustion, such as use of gasoline and diesel fuels by motor vehicles, DPM is most concentrated adjacent to freeways and streets traveled by trucks. PM2.5 is the size of ambient particulate matter air pollution most associated with adverse health effects of the air pollutants that have ambient air quality standards.

These health effects include cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations, and premature death.

D. Over the next few months, the City will update its General Plan and Zoning Code and adopt a Specific Plan or Plans to update its goals and policies for the development of the City. While the City recognizes the value of warehouse facilities, the City must balance the interests of such businesses on the one hand, and the well-being of the community, attraction of land uses that create high-paying jobs, generate revenues to pay for road maintenance and other essential services, and ensure that warehouse facilities mitigate their fair share of impacts on the City and the surrounding community.

E. Because of the actual and potential detrimental impacts of warehouse and related uses upon the City, which impacts may not be presently adequately addressed by the City’s existing ordinances and zoning regulations, there is a need to impose a temporary moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking uses in order to study and develop policy guidance and Ordinance No. 1283

potentially implement changes to the City’s zoning regulations and General Plan update.

F. The City Council further finds that the moratorium is a matter of local and Citywide importance and is not directed towards any particular person or entity that seeks to operate warehouse and related facilities.

SECTION 5. Moratorium.

Subject to the Exemptions set forth below, all processing of existing applications for permits shall be suspended immediately.

B. Exemptions: This Ordinance shall not apply to the following:

2. Tenant improvements for current tenants within an existing building, provided the tenant improvements would not otherwise be considered an expansion or modification of the facility.

3. Any new or renewed lease agreement.

SECTION 6. Review and Study. During the period of this Ordinance, the Director of Public Works shall review and study the adverse impacts of and the benefits provided by, warehouse and related facilities in the City, so as to quantify the concerns described in Section 4, and shall recommend proposed revisions to the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to these facilities, so as to enable the City to adequately and appropriately balance the rights of existing property owners and future applicants who wish to establish, expand, or modify logistics facilities, with the preservation of the health, safety and welfare of the communities.

SECTION 7. Written Report. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, staff must prepare for consideration by the City Council a written report describing measures taken to address the condition which led to the adoption of this urgency ordinance. The report will be provided to the City Council so that it may be considered and issued no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this urgency ordinance.

SECTION 8. Authority. The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby adopts this Ordinance as an interim urgency measure pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 and Chapter 4.4. of the Charter of the City of Vernon to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and is adopted and justified based on the findings of the City Council in Recitals of this Ordinance; which are supported by substantial evidence in the record associated with the City Council’s consideration hereof.

SECTION 9. The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby passes this Ordinance by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. Accordingly, this urgency ordinance shall take effect immediately upon adoption for a period of 45 days, at which time it will automatically expire unless extended by the City Council as permitted under the Government Code.

SECTION 10. Any provision of the Vernon Municipal Code or appendices thereto inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance, to the extent of such inconsistencies and no further are repealed or modified to that extent necessary to affect the provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 11. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, of this Ordinance is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof, be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: July 19, 2022

SUBJECT
10-Day Report on Urgency Moratorium on Warehouse Uses, Freight and Terminals, Container Storage and Parking
Recommendation:

Background:

On June 21, 2022, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1283, a 45-day urgency moratorium ordinance. Ordinance No. 1283 was adopted to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by prohibiting the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking in the City of Vernon. Government Code Section 65858(d), requires that at least 10-days prior to the expiration of a 45-day urgency ordinance, the City issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the moratorium.

Measures Taken to Alleviate the Conditions that Led to the Adoption of the Urgency Ordinance Actions addressing the underlying need for the moratorium are ongoing and include the following:

Commencement of the process to amend Chapter 17 (Zoning Code) of the Vernon Municipal Code as it pertains to warehouse uses via a permanent ordinance that would change new warehouse uses on lots encompassing 150,000 square feet or more from allowance by right to approval through a Development Agreement Use of a Development Agreement will allow the City to address community health and safety issues by evaluating warehouse development on a case-by-case basis.

Establishing regulatory standards and criteria at the City level will ensure that land uses consider the quality of life of individuals living and working in the Vernon area, and that their welfare remains a priority.

City staff have provided opportunities for stakeholders to offer feedback and ask questions regarding warehouse regulations
On June 30, 2022, staff met with stakeholders through the Vernon Chamber of Commerce
1 On July 14, 2022, staff presented an item on warehouse regulation to the Vernon Business and Industry Commission (BIC)
City Staff has noticed a public hearing on the proposed permanent ordinance in accordance with state law.

Next steps include the following:

Submitting the draft ordinance to the City Council, with Business and Industry Commission input and recommendations, for introduction and first reading on August 2, 2022; and
Return the draft ordinance to the City Council, with any requested changes, for second reading and adoption.

Continued Need for the Moratorium
As noted, actions addressing the underlying need for the moratorium are ongoing. Specifically, staff is preparing amendments to the Zoning Code. These Zoning Code amendments require a public hearing before the City Council, with adoption to follow a second reading at a subsequent Council meeting. Even if approved by the City Council in successive meetings, the proposed permanent ordinance would not take effect prior to the 45-day warehouse moratorium (authorized by Temporary Urgency Ordinance No. 1283) expires on August 5, 2022.

Under Government Code Section 65858(a), the City Council may extend the urgency ordinance and moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days, and subsequently for one year, for a total of two years. Due to noticing, public hearing and procedural requirements for the adoption of ordinances noted above, staff recommends that Ordinance 1283 remain in place until the permanent zoning change takes effect. Staff will present the recommendation to extend the urgency moratorium to City Council at the August 2 Council Meeting.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Ordinance No. 1287 Amending Title 17 of the Vernon Municipal Code pertaining to Warehouse Uses
Recommendation:

17.16.020 and 17.24.020 and adding Chapter 17.24.035 to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Vernon Municipal Code relating to warehouse uses; and
C. Direct staff to schedule second reading and adoption for the August 16, 2022 City Council Meeting.

Background:

In recent years, the proliferation of e-commerce and rising consumer expectations of rapid shipping have contributed to a boom in warehouse development. With its ports, population centers, and transportation network, California has been especially affected by this trend.

Warehouses and related businesses such as truck terminals, truck yards, and container storage operations generate significant environmental impacts. As a result, the California Attorney General’s Bureau of Environmental Justice has increased its scrutiny over warehouse developments and the impacts associated with their operations and heavy fleet use.

Like the State, the City has experienced significant growth of large warehouses, distribution facilities and related businesses. Such facilities consume large areas of land in Vernon with little benefit to the City as they typically do not provide many jobs or generate sufficient utility users tax, property tax, sales tax, or business license revenues to off-set their impact on the City. As noted above, warehouses and related businesses can generate unique environmental impacts on surrounding properties and the larger community, including frequent truck traffic, noise impacts from on-site operations, emissions and air quality issues that impact public health, and maintenance impacts on City streets. Currently, the vacancy rate in the City is exceptionally low. This increases the value of property which, in turn, encourages a greater intensity of use at warehouse facilities, which increase the truck trips generated by these facilities. Additionally, advances in robotics and e-commerce have reduced the number of people employed by these facilities. The proliferation of these facilities presents several issues for the Community and the City including environmental and health, traffic and safety, land use, and fiscal issues.

Environmental and Health Issues
Diesel engines emit a complex mixture of air pollutants, including both gaseous and solid material. The solid material in diesel exhaust is known as diesel particulate matter (DPM).

DPM is considered a subset of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5).

Most PM2.5 derives from combustion, such as the use of gasoline and diesel fuels by motor vehicles. DPM is most concentrated adjacent to freeways and streets traveled by trucks.

PM2.5 is the size of ambient particulate matter air pollution most associated with adverse health effects of the air pollutants that have ambient air quality standards. These health effects include cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.

Traffic and Safety Issues
Warehouse facilities generate significant truck traffic, and sometimes these facilities and/or the trucks operate 24-hours-a-day. This truck traffic causes environmental issues including traffic congestion, detrimental air quality, noise, and vibration. These trucks travel City streets to reach their destinations and, because of their sheer size, pose unique and challenging traffic issues such as: Increased safety risk for smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists; damage to City property/facilities from collisions (reported and unreported) impacting streetlights, traffic signal equipment, signs, trees, curbs, medians, etc.; reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections; and pavement impacts.

Land Use Issues
All of Vernon is zoned industrial. By their nature, warehouses and related uses tend to locate on large parcels of land and in large industrial buildings. Similarly, truck yards, cargo container parking, and cargo container storage take large areas of land. These uses take up land that could otherwise be used for purposes that would generate jobs, additional property tax, and utility users tax to pay for City provided services. Presently 13 of the 14 new buildings being developed in the City are warehouses.

Fiscal Issues
Warehouses and related businesses generate significantly lower utility users tax, property tax, sales tax, and business license revenues than other less truck intensive uses, while trucks significantly impact the condition of the City's streets. The City commissioned a Pavement Management Plan to obtain an inventory of pavement conditions for the City’s entire street network and to develop strategies for the maintenance of the City’s streets including a budgetary analysis to determine the funding needs. The report concluded the average rating for the City’s street network is a C-. Much of the reason for this low grade is due to the load related (alligator cracking and heave) distress caused by trucks. It is estimated that it will require total expenditures of between $20 to $25 million from the General Fund to bring the street network up to an average B+ rating. Additionally, trucks frequently damage other City infrastructure including power poles, catch basins and traffic signals.

While the City recognizes the value of warehouse facilities, the City must balance the interests of such businesses with the well-being of the community, attraction of land uses that create high-paying jobs, generate revenues to pay for street maintenance and other essential services, and ensure that warehouse facilities mitigate their fair share of impacts on the City and the surrounding community.

Warehouse Regulations
Due to the health and environmental impacts of warehouses, several southern California cities have recently adopted warehouse moratoriums and, on April 18, 2022, the California Attorney General announced a settlement with the City of Fontana to resolve allegations that the City of Fontana violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in its approval of a warehouse project (Attachment 1). The settlement, in addition to extracting money from the developer to establish a "community benefit" fund, required Fontana to adopt the most stringent environmental standards in California for new warehouse projects. Under its existing Zoning Code, the City of Vernon has no mechanism for requiring an environmental or health impact study on new or expanded warehouse uses. The City of Vernon is uniquely an industrial City and would best be served by the ability to retain self-determination to the greatest extent possible in the regulation of land use and development.

On June 21, 2022, pursuant to the authority and procedure set forth in California Government Code Section 65858, the Vernon City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No.1283 establishing a 45-day temporary moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking in the City while staff evaluated the environmental, health and safety impacts of continued unfettered warehouse development and considered new regulations pertaining to such uses.

During this interim period, City staff engaged in analysis and study to develop a narrowly tailored zoning ordinance that would replace the temporary moratorium and mitigate public safety, health, and welfare impacts of continued warehouse development.

Additionally, the City has provided opportunities for stakeholders to offer feedback and ask questions regarding warehouse regulations:

One June 30, 2022, City staff met with stakeholders through a meeting hosted by the Chamber of Commerce to receive input on warehouse regulation.

One July 14, 2022, the topic was discussed at a Special Business and Industry Commission (BIC), with a recommendation to adopt a revised ordinance was provided by the BIC. A mass mailer was sent to all Vernon businesses inviting them to provide input at the BIC meeting.

On July 19, 2022, City Council was provided with the Government Code Section 65858(d), required 10-Day Report prior to the expiration of a 45-day urgency ordinance warehouse moratorium describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the moratorium.

Prior to the interim moratorium, warehouse uses were allowed by right everywhere in Vernon with minimal regulation. While there is a need to better regulate the future development of warehouses, rather than proposing blanket limitations on the areas where warehouses can be developed, limitations on the size of warehouses, and other one-size-fits-all prescriptive development standards, City staff recommends that future warehouse development be approved through a case-by-case Development Agreement. Section 17.84.010 of the Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) reads, in part, that the purpose of a Development Agreement is to "...protect the health, safety , and public welfare.." "...without creating undue hardships...". The use of development agreements would allow for the regulation of future warehouse development while providing for maximum collaboration between the City and the Developer in creating agreements that are tailored to mitigate the impacts of each individual project.

Proposed Changes to Vernon Municipal Code
To implement the regulation of future warehouse development by Development Agreement, the proposed changes to the VMC (Attachment 2) are changing paragraph F to read "Warehouse use (other than cold storage warehouses) on lots encompassing less than 150,000 square feet." and paragraph G to read " Wholesale use on lots encompassing less than 150,000 square feet.." from section "17.24.020 Permitted uses" and adding section:

17.24.035 which would read as follows:
"Uses Requiring Development Agreement - Warehouse uses (other than cold storage warehouses) on lots encompassing 150,000 square feet or more and Wholesale uses on lots encompassing 150,000 square feet or more are permitted in the I Zone and all overlay zones, with the exception of the Housing Overlay Zone, subject to the approval of a Development Agreement between the City and Applicant, and appropriate standards and terms to be negotiated with the City, and complying with all other conditions imposed by this chapter.

When considering uses requiring a Development Agreement, the Director shall make a recommendation in writing to the City Council which shall include the Director’s determination as to whether or not the proposed Development Agreement:

A. Is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan;
B. Is in conformity with and will promote public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice;
C. Will be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare; D. Will adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values; and
E. Will promote and encourage the development of the proposed project by providing a greater degree of requisite certainty.

Staff also proposes that container storage, and container parking be specifically included in the definition of "Truck terminal" in section 17.60.020 by adding "and cargo containers" to the end of the first sentence in that paragraph.

Business and Industry Commission Recommendation
The BIC, at its July 14, 2022 meeting, unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed changes to the VMC listed above.

Pursuant to VMC Section 17.18.030 and Government Code Section 65091, on July 21, 2022, the public hearing notice was posted at City Hall, and published in the Huntington Park Bulletin (Attachment 2).

HUNTINGTON PARK BULLETIN
City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Sandra Dolson
Submitting Department: City Clerk
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Conduct of Meetings via Teleconference Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 Recommendation:

Background:

Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361) authorizes local agencies to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act during a declared state of emergency. At a special meeting on October 21, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-36 authorizing continued conduct of City Council and all other City legislative body meetings via teleconference, in accordance with AB 361, due to continued public health and safety concerns caused by COVID-19.

Pursuant to AB 361, it is necessary for the City Council to periodically declare that the City’s legislative bodies must continue to meet remotely to ensure the continued health and safety of the public. The City Council most recently ratified the findings of Resolution No. 2021-36 on June 7, 2022.

If the City Council determines the need to conduct meetings remotely still exists, the City Council should ratify the findings in Resolution No. 2021-36.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

Attachments:

1. Resolution No. 2021-36
RESOLUTION NO. 2021-36

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON

AUTHORIZING CONTINUED CONDUCT OF CITY COUNCIL AND ALL

OTHER CITY LEGISLATIVE BODY MEETINGS VIA TELECONFERENCE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 361 ( AB 361), DUE TO

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS CAUSED BY
COVID-19
SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the State prepare for a broader spread of COVID-19.

B. On March 17, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-06 ratifying Emergency Proclamation 2020-01, a proclamation of local emergency due to the serious and imminent threat of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

C. Also, on March 17, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which suspended certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means. Additionally, the State implemented a shelter-in-place order, requiring all non-essential personnel to work from home.

D. The City Council, Commissions and Committees have utilized remote and hybrid meetings during the state of emergency, ensuring the member's and public's continued access to meetings while ensuring public safety.

E. On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which extended the ability of agencies to hold remote meetings through September 30, 2021, after which agencies anticipated transitioning back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.

F. Since issuing Executive Order N-08-21, the Delta variant emerged, causing a spike in COVID-19 cases throughout the state.

G. It is difficult to maintain social distancing requirements for the public, staff, Council Members, Committee Members and Commissioners in their respective meeting locations, therefore, the City of Vernon legislative bodies have utilized a hybrid model of meetings, with some members and the public participating remotely.

H. The Proclamation of a State of Emergency issued by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020 continues to be in effect.

Resolution No. 2021-36

Page 2 ends

I. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newson signed AB 361, allowing local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely after the September 30, 2021 expiration of the Governor’s executive orders.

J. Pursuant to AB 361, it is necessary for the City Council to declare every 30 days that the City’s legislative bodies must continue to meet remotely to ensure the health and safety of the public.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds and determines that the above recitals are true and correct.

SECTION 3. The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby approves the continuation of conducting the City Council and all other City Legislative Body meetings remotely due to continued public health and safety concerns caused by COVID-19.

SECTION 4. In compliance with AB 361, and to continue to teleconference without the usual teleconference requirements of the Brown Act, the City Council makes the following findings:
a. The City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and
b. The state of local emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the City Council and all other City Legislative Body meetings, as well as staff and members of the public, from meeting safely in person; and c. Health orders require all individuals in public spaces to maintain social distancing and to wear masks when inside public spaces; however, the City cannot maintain social distancing requirements for the Council Members, Commissioners, Committee Members, staff and public in meeting spaces.

SECTION 5. City Council and all other City Legislative Body meetings will continue to be conducted in a hybrid manner including remote and in person participation for the next 30 days in compliance with AB 361, to better ensure the health and safety of the public.

SECTION 6. The City Council will reconsider the above findings and the need to conduct meetings remotely within 30 days of the adoption of this resolution.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Brandon Gray
Submitting Department: Police Department
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Mutual Aid Operational Plan Agreement
Recommendation:

Approve and authorize the Chief of Police to execute a Mutual Aid Operational Plan Agreement, in substantially the same form as submitted.

Background:

Under the provisions of Sections 8615, 8617, and 8668 of the Government Code of the State of California, California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement, municipalities are allowed to enter into mutual aid and assistance agreements, which may include provisions for furnishing and exchanging of supplies, equipment, facilities, personnel, and services across jurisdictional lines. The proposed Mutual Aid Operational Plan Agreement ensures the coordination of public safety service efforts and encourages maximum participation between all law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies.

The Vernon Police Department (VPD), along with every other law enforcement agency in the State, is asked to enter into the State's Form Mutual Aid Operational Plan Agreement (Mutual Aid Agreement) to provide for the sharing of resources, personnel, and equipment in the event of a major disaster, either natural or manmade. The Mutual Aid Agreement allows each participating public agency to furnish supplementary public safety services to the other public agencies signatory to this plan in the event of local peril, local emergency, local disaster, civil disturbance and such other occasions as may arise. The approved agreements are signed by the individual agencies and maintained by regional coordinators. The Mutual Aid Agreement is effective upon execution and remains in effect until terminated by the participating agency.

VPD is assigned to Area E of Region 1. The Los Angeles County Sheriff is the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Coordinator for Region 1 (Los Angeles and Orange Counties).

The provisions listed under Section 830.1(a) of the California Penal Code grant authority for any California peace officer to perform official duties in the jurisdiction of other cities. This agreement will allow VPD Officers to perform their duties in cities throughout the State, and vice versa. Investigations conducted by the VPD often coincide with investigations being pursued within other jurisdictions in the State. An agreement pursuant to Penal Code Section 830.1(a) would benefit the City of Vernon as well as other law enforcement agencies in the State, allowing the agencies to work together to accomplish common goals.

The proposed agreement was reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Supplemental to Purchase Contract LP-0728 with ABB, Inc.

Recommendation:

A. Find that the best interests of the City are served by a direct award of a Supplemental to ABB, Inc., without a competitive selection process pursuant to Section 3.32.110 B.2 of the Vernon Municipal Code (VMC); and
B. Authorize a Supplemental to Purchase Contract LP-0728 with ABB, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $9,445.81.

Background:

On April 5, 2022, City Council approved blanket Purchase Contract LP-0728 with ABB, Inc., (ABB) in the amount of $92,283.31 for the installation of a motor drive and maintenance services at the Malburg Generating Station (MGS) during the scheduled Spring 2022 Outage.

At the time, City Council found it was in the best interest of the City to award the contract without a competitive process, as ABB was the manufacturer of certain equipment being serviced and had a proven track record of successfully supporting MGS through many years.

Staff is requesting that the City Council also find it is in the best interest of the City to issue a Supplemental to ABB, as it was critical for ABB to complete the work undertaken during the outage.

MGS undergoes a scheduled, major planned outage every 30,000 equivalent operating hours, or roughly 3 to 4 years, usually in the fall and spring when the electricity demand is lower. The MGS power plant is operationally required to offer full resource adequacy to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) daily. To ensure compliance with the CAISO and ensure continued operation of the MGS power plant, it is often essential that a vendor is contracted to provide maintenance on the Combustion Turbine Generator (CTG) starting motors.

In May 2022, MGS went through a major scheduled outage and during the outage, the power plant optimized downtime by scheduling facility upgrades, repairs, and other maintenance work while the power plant was offline. MGS' staffing level was optimized for efficient plant operation and sustained outages were completed in a timely manner using multiple qualified and specialized vendors. During the scheduled outage, ABB performed an annual calibration on the British Thermal Unit (BTU) analyzer. Subsequently, Purchase Contract LP-0731 was issued on May 3, 2022, in the amount of $4,071. Funds to cover this service were withdrawn from approved blanket Purchase Contract LP-0728 funds, since this was a maintenance service that was required.

In addition to the annual calibration of the BTU analyzer, ABB installed a starting motor drive for the CTG. Without a reliable and functioning starting motor system, the CTG will not run, and the power plant will not be able to operate. Outage schedules are highly orchestrated with the end of one vendor’s task marking the beginning of another vendor’s task. Any delays during the process risk a cascading impact up to the point of delaying outage completion and subsequent increased costs are incurred. Due to work conflicts with equipment readiness, ABB technicians were unable to complete the installation within the projected time frame, which resulted in additional hours billed to the City.

The balance already authorized for payment to ABB is currently $92,283.31. However, the combined invoices received from ABB for the installation of a starting motor drive and the annual calibration total $101,729.12. Accordingly, staff is requesting approval of a Supplemental to the ABB purchase contract in the amount of $9,445.81 to cover the additional costs incurred during the outage. Pursuant to VMC section 3.32.030 (B), Council approval of the proposed Supplemental to ABB is required, as total payments to ABB would exceed $100,000.

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funds for the supplemental are available in the Vernon Public Utilities Generation and Operations Generation Expense Account No. 055.9190.500230.

Submitted by: Adriana Ramos
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Sale of Surplus Vernon Public Utilities Vehicle to Petrelli Electric, Inc.

Recommendation:

Background:

Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) has an urgent need to replace diesel vehicles as the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) Fleet Rules require public agencies to acquire low-emitting gasoline or alternative-fuel vehicles to reduce air-toxic and criteria pollutant emissions. Vehicle No. L1004, a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, is a medium duty, four-wheel drive, diesel powered vehicle owned by the City which does not meet SCAQMD Rule 1191 compliance. This vehicle must be replaced with a lower or zero emission vehicle such as electric, compressed natural gas (CNG), hybrid, or gasoline vehicle rated low emission vehicle (LEV) or better. Until recently, Vehicle No. L1004 had been utilized in service; however, to comply with SCAQMD’s requirements, it was imperative that the City surplus this vehicle. Additionally, this vehicle recently exhibited reliability issues and became cost prohibitive for the City's Garage Division to repair. As a result, VPU, in coordination with the Public Works Garage Division, determined that the vehicle should be placed in surplus, as it is no longer fit for use by the Department. Subsequently, the City's Purchasing Division, which is responsible for salvaging the City's surplus property, determined Vehicle No. L1004 is no longer economically suitable for further City use.

Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing Manual parameters related to salvaging surplus City property, salvage property that has functional use may be sold or donated. Petrelli Electric has confirmed its desire to enter into a Purchase Agreement with the City to procure the aforementioned surplus vehicle. Petrelli Electric is the current VPU contractor providing high voltage electric systems service, maintenance, and utility support to the Vernon Electric and Fiber Optic Systems. Accordingly, VPU is recommending that City Council approve the sale of one surplus 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (VIN #: 1GCHK29638E111088) to Petrelli Electric for the price of $6,500. The vehicle will be sold at market value, with the proposed cost determined by the price range estimate offered through Kelley Blue Book which considers the age of the vehicle, mileage, and condition. Findings were reviewed and confirmed by the Finance Director.

Although supply chain issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic have presented procurement challenges, VPU has taken delivery of a SCAQMD Fleet Rules compliant 2022 gasoline powered Ford Explorer 4WD vehicle to replace Vehicle No. L1004. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the sale of VPU’s surplus vehicle and authorize the City Administrator to execute the necessary Purchase and Sale Agreement. The proposed Agreement with Petrelli Electric has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Fiscal Impact:

Proceeds from the sale will result in $6,500 to Vernon Public Utilities Revenue Account No. 055.9000.670011.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System Yearly Maintenance Contract Recommendation:

A. Find that approval of the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because the project consists of the restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated existing equipment and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use; and B. Approve a Purchase Contract with Western Allied in the amount of $50,000 for maintenance and inspection services for the City’s HVAC system.

Background:

The Public Works Department (Department) utilizes an HVAC specialist to service the City’s HVAC system under a yearly maintenance and inspection contract. The contract covers routine inspection and maintenance costs as well as emergency repairs that may be necessary during the year. In order to select a vendor, Public Works staff contacted a total of seven service providers in the region to request quotes for the proposed contract. Based on the responses received, Western Allied presented the best option for the City, as the company is certified by Trane, the manufacturer of the equipment being serviced, and provided competitive pricing. Other vendors contacted by staff were either not certified by Trane, or indicated that they were not able to service equipment as large as that in use by the City.

Accordingly, the Department is requesting that Council approve the yearly maintenance contract in the amount of $50,000 with Western Allied. A copy of the quote provided by the vendor is attached for reference.

Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.030 (B), Council approval of the proposed contract is necessary as current City Contracts with this vendor exceed $100,000.

Most recently, on September 21, 2021, Council approved Contract CS-1345 with Western Allied in the amount of $290,200 for the basement cooling system update.

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funds for the proposed maintenance and inspection contract are available in General Fund, Public Works/City Buildings Account No. 011.1049.590000 for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

City Council Agenda Item Report

Submitting Department: Police Department
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement and Annual Certification Report Recommendation:

Approve and authorize the Police Chief and City Administrator to execute the Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement and Annual Certification Report.

Background:

When local police agencies work with federal agencies to enforce federal criminal laws, the agency may apply for an equitable share of any forfeited proceeds. The Vernon Police Department (VPD) currently receives an equitable share of forfeited proceeds from investigations conducted by an investigator assigned to the Southwest Borders Initiative Taskforce (SWBI).

In order to receive such proceeds, the VPD must execute an equitable sharing agreement and certify that the forfeited proceeds received are allocated as required by federal statutes and regulations established by the U.S. Department of Treasury and the U.S. Department of Justice.

These laws and regulations require the VPD to do the following:

Retain forfeited funds or property separate from state or other forfeitures Submit a federal Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification annually with both agencies
Maintain a record of the funds or property and any expenditures Annually audit funds exceeding $100,000
The Department of Justice implemented an on-line reporting process to streamline the annual reporting of funds received by local agencies. The reporting process requires the Agency Head (Police Chief) and the Governing Body Head (City Administrator) to certify that the City understands its obligations under the agreement and to certify that the reported financial information regarding the VPD’s receipt and expenditure of the funds is accurate. The VPD has implemented procedures in compliance with the outlined laws and regulations.

The Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification Report has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Fiscal Impact:

Forfeited proceeds received through the equitable share program vary from year to year as funds are based on the resolution of specific court cases. When received, revenues are placed in General Fund, Police Department asset forfeiture Account No. 011.4031.441013.

Report on Vehicle Purchases Approved by the City Administrator Recommendation:

Receive and file the report.

Background:

Typically, the City purchases vehicles through Sourcewell, a cooperative purchasing public agency serving government, education and non-profit organizations. However, due to the current severe inventory shortage of vehicles, the City has not been able to secure vehicles through Sourcewell, with many of the City's purchase orders placed in July 2021 having remained open for over a year. The City is also experiencing challenges when attempting to purchase directly from dealers, as vehicle inventory is extremely low and vehicles are being sold rapidly, not providing the City an opportunity to carry out a typical competitive process for the purchase of vehicles while specified/quoted vehicles remain in stock. Overall, vehicle inventory is extremely sparse currently with little to no options available from which to select specific makes and models.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) Fleet Rules (Rule 1191 and Rule 1196) require public agencies to acquire low emitting gasoline or alternative -fuel vehicles to reduce air toxic and criteria pollutant emissions. In a continued effort to comply with SCAQMD's rules, Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) in coordination with SCAQMD has systematically identified diesel vehicles within its fleet that need to be replaced. Most recently, VPU and the City's Public Works Garage Division, determined two of its medium duty, diesel powered vehicles should be replaced immediately as they were exhibiting reliability issues and became cost prohibitive to repair. Accordingly, Garage staff recommended that VPU surplus Vehicle No. L1004 (a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500) and Vehicle No. L1055 (a 2016 Ford F250 XLT Supercab). VPU agreed as both vehicles did not meet SCAQMD Rule 1191 compliance and needed to be replaced with lower or zero emission vehicles such as electric, compressed natural gas (CNG), hybrid, or gasoline vehicle rated LEV or better.

Due to the shortage of vehicles and associated challenges making timely purchases, and VPU's urgent need to replace diesel vehicles, VPU staff requested approval from the City Administrator to move forward with purchases as soon as desired replacement vehicles were identified. Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.110 (B)(3), the City Administrator found that it was in the best interest of the City to award a purchase order to the respective dealers noted below for the specified vehicle purchases. As required by the VMC section noted above, the City Administrator is providing a written report to the City Council regarding the purchases.
2021 Dodge Ram 3500 from Russell Westbrook Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (2021 Dodge Ram)
This vehicle is a medium duty, gas powered vehicle. In an effort to obtain a competitive price for the City, staff solicited quotes from eleven (11) local dealerships and requested quotes where available. Six of the eleven dealerships responded with an indication no trucks were available. Two quotes were received, with Russell Westbrook Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram providing the most cost-effective offer.
2022 Ford Explorer ST 4WD from Galpin Ford (2022 Ford Explorer) This vehicle is a light duty, gas powered vehicle with four-wheel drive. In an effort to obtain a competitive price for the City, staff solicited quotes from fourteen (14) local dealerships and requested quotes where available. Three quotes were received, with Galpin Ford providing the most cost-effective offer. VPU was fortunate to find this vehicle available as it was not advertised and was being utilized as a manager demo. VPU was also able to receive a $1000 discount offered during the fourth of July holiday by placing a deposit on the vehicle.

VPU will continue to work with the Public Works Garage staff and SCAQMD to advance the replacement of diesel vehicles owned by the City as necessary and feasible.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact of the purchase of the 2021 Dodge Ram was $59,232.44. This expenditure was included in the VPU Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 budget under 055.8100.900000 Capital Outlay account.

The fiscal impact of the purchase of the 2022 Ford Explorer was $64,613.12. This expense was included in the VPU FY 2021-22 budget under 055.8000.900000 Capital Outlay account.

Due to the supply chain issues resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the purchase occurring just past the end of the fiscal year, a mid-year budget adjustment will be made to the VPU FY 2022-23 budget to roll over and utilize these approved funds for the purchase.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Yesenia Barajas
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: August 2, 2022

SUBJECT
National Auto Fleet Group Multiple Vehicle Purchase
Recommendation:

A. Approve the purchase of five new 2022 Ford F-150 Lighting Pro 4WD SuperCrew Work Trucks through National Auto Fleet Group, for a total cost of $230,846.60; and B. Authorize the City Administrator to approve comparable vehicle purchases for a total notto-exceed $250,000 for the Public Works Department should the vehicles noted above no longer be available through the National Auto Fleet Group.

Background:

The adopted Public Works Department Building Maintenance Division and Street Operations Division budget for FY2022-2023 included planned capital expenditures for the purchase of five new 2022 Ford F-150 Lighting Pro 4WD SuperCrew Work Trucks to meet the operational needs of the department. The purchase of these new vehicles will provide Public Works staff with the transportation necessary to continue to promptly execute daily work responsibilities and effectively meet the needs of the city.

Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 3.32, Section 3.32.110(A)(5), the purchase of the proposed vehicles is exempt from competitive bidding and competitive selection, as the purchase is through Sourcewell which offers participating agencies cooperative buying contracts. The quote secured for this purchase from the National Auto Fleet Group is based on a Sourcewell contract. It is to the advantage of the city to procure these vehicles from the selected vendor. The quote provided by the National Auto Fleet Group indicates cost savings of $1,000 based on the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).

Staff recommends approval of the purchase of five new 2022 Ford F-150 Lighting Pro 4WD SuperCrew Work Trucks through National Auto Fleet Group, for a total cost of $230,846.60.

As a contingency measure, staff is also seeking approval for the City Administrator to authorize individual comparable vehicle purchases from other vendors should the vehicles no longer be available through the National Auto Fleet Group. Given the current limited availability of vehicles, this would allow staff to make necessary vehicle purchases timely, as soon as suitable vehicles become available.

Fiscal Impact:

Funds up to $250,000 are available for the purchase of vehicles in the Capital Outlay Account of the Publics Works Department Building Maintenance Division and Street Operations Division for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

Background:

The previous Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between the City of Vernon and the City's four bargaining groups expired June 30, 2022. Pursuant to City Council direction and authority, negotiations with all four bargaining groups began in April 2022. Labor negotiations with IBEW, representing electric operators, dispatchers, engineers, and a variety of technical staff in the Public Utilities Department, have been ongoing since then for a successor MOU.

On July 20, 2022, the parties reached a tentative agreement on a successor MOU which was then ratified by the IBEW membership on July 26, 2022.

It is recommended that City Council approve a successor MOU with IBEW for a three year term beginning July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 that reflects the following key provisions:

A 3% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) effective July 31, 2022, July 2, 2023, and July 14, 2024;
Increase Bilingual Pay from $125 per month to $275 per month effective July 31, 2022; Change in overtime/double time calculation;
Increase in In-Lieu Holiday time from 48 hrs. to 60 hrs.; Development of supervisory guidelines for remote work;
Prior City of Vernon service credit for current employees towards eligibility for retiree medical benefits and vacation accrual; and
Various minor language changes to update and or eliminate outdated or obsolete language that is either no longer in effect or required update to reflect current practices.

Changes from the previous MOU are redlined in the draft 2022-2025 MOU (Attachment 2).

Fiscal Impact:

The estimated fiscal impact of the 2022-2025 IBEW MOU is approximately $188,697.68 for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Sufficient funds are available in the salary and benefit accounts for the Public Utilities Department. Funding for future years will be included in future proposed budgets.
