1. A lien shall not be recorded prior to serving the owner of record of the parcel of land on which the public nuisance is maintained with a notice. This document shall be served in the same manner as a summons in a civil action in accordance with Article 3 (commencing with Section 415.10) of Chapter 4 of Title 5 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the owner of record, after diligent search, cannot be found, the notice may be served by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous place upon the property for a period of 10 days and publication thereof in a newspaper of general circulation published in Los Angeles County pursuant to Section 6062 of the Government Code.

2. The nuisance abatement lien shall be recorded in the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office in the county in which the parcel of land is located and from the date of recording shall have the force, effect, and priority of a judgment lien.

3. A nuisance abatement lien authorized by this section shall specify the amount of the lien for the City of Vernon, the name of the City department or division on whose behalf the lien is imposed, the date of the abatement actions, the street address, legal description and assessor’s parcel number of the parcel on which the lien is imposed, and the name and address of the recorded owner of the parcel.

4. In the event that the lien is discharged, released, or satisfied, either through payment or foreclosure, notice of the discharge containing the information specified in subsection (D) of this section shall be recorded by the City. A nuisance abatement lien and the release of the lien shall be indexed in the grantor-grantee index.

5. A nuisance abatement lien may be foreclosed by an action brought by the City for a money judgment. The City may recover from the property owner any costs incurred regarding the processing and recording of the lien and providing notice to the property owner as part of its foreclosure action to enforce the lien.

6. The amount of a nuisance abatement lien shall also constitute a personal obligation of the property owners of land upon which the nuisance was abated.

8.20.090 Emergency Abatement.

A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, whenever the Director of Public Works, or their designee, determines that any real property or any building, structure or condition thereon constitutes an immediate threat to public health or safety, the City may, without being required to comply with the procedures of this chapter, immediately cause such public nuisance to be abated.

Prior to abating a nuisance that creates an imminent hazard, the City shall attempt to notify a responsible person by telephone or in writing of the imminent hazard and request its abatement by said person; provided, however, that the City may dispense with any attempt at prior notification of a responsible person if, in the sole discretion of the City, the nature or severity of the hazard does not reasonably allow for such prior notification. If notice has been so given, but, in the sole discretion of the City, the responsible person(s) fail(s) to take immediate and meaningful steps to abate the imminent hazard, the City may abate the nuisance without further notice, and charge the costs and fees thereof to the responsible person(s).

B. Within 10 business days following emergency action of the City to abate an imminent hazard, the City shall serve any responsible person with notice of emergency abatement by City personnel of an imminent hazard by first class mail. Notice to a property owner shall be mailed to the mailing address set forth in the last equalized assessment roll of the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. Failure of any responsible person to receive a properly addressed notice of emergency abatement by City of an imminent hazard by mail shall not invalidate any action or proceeding pursuant to this chapter.

A notice of emergency abatement by City of an imminent hazard shall contain the following:

1. The name of all known responsible persons who are being served with the notice of emergency abatement by City of an imminent hazard and the address of the real property on which the imminent hazard was present.

2. A brief description of the condition(s) and reasons why it constituted an imminent hazard.

3. A brief description of the law prohibiting or pertaining to the imminent hazard.

4. A brief description of the actions City took to abate the imminent hazard.

Omission of any of the foregoing provisions in a notice of emergency abatement by City of an imminent hazard, whether in whole or in part, or the failure of a responsible person to receive said notice, or the failure of the City to issue said notice in a timely fashion, shall not render it defective or render any proceeding or action pursuant to this chapter invalid.

In such instances, the City shall follow the procedures set forth in this chapter.

C. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prevent the City from commencing a civil or criminal proceeding to abate a public nuisance or from pursuing any other means available to it under provisions of applicable ordinances or State law to correct or enjoin hazards, deficiencies or violations of law in real property in addition to or as alternatives to the proceedings set forth in this chapter.

Subject: Proposed Changes to Parking Enforcement on Furlong Place Dear resident:

The Vernon City Council will be discussing possible changes to parking regulations on Furlong Place at their meeting on:

Date: September 2, 2025
Time: 9:00 a.m.

Location: Vernon City Hall – Council Chamber (4305 S. Santa Fe Ave., Vernon CA 90058) Currently, parking on Furlong Place is by permit only, and each vehicle must park in its assigned space.

If Furlong Place tenants have guests, they may park in designated guest parking spaces, but must display a valid guest parking permit, and may only park for up to 24 hours.

At this time, the Vernon Police Department can only enforce these rules by towing vehicles that are parked illegally. The proposed changes to certain sections of Chapters 1.08 (Administrative Citations), 8.20 (Nuisances), and 10.16 (Parking Citations) of the Vernon Municipal Code, would give the Police Department the additional option of issuing parking tickets for violations, instead of towing as a sole measure of regulation enforcement.

We encourage you to share your thoughts about this proposed change at the upcoming City Council meeting noted above or by submitting written comments to [email protected] with the meeting date and item title in the subject line (email must be received at least two hours prior to the start of the meeting).

Sincerely,
Daniel S. Wall, P.E.

Director of Public Works
City of Vernon

Asunto: Cambios propuestos para el control del estacionamiento sobre Furlong Place Estimado/a residente:

El Consejo Municipal de la ciudad de Vernon discutirá posibles cambios en el reglamento de estacionamiento sobre Furlong Place durante su reunión el:

Fecha y Hora: 2 de septiembre de 2025 a las 9:00 a.m.

Ubicación: Ayuntamiento – Cámara del Consejo (4305 S. Santa Fe Ave., Vernon CA 90058) Actualmente, el estacionamiento sobre Furlong Place es solo con permiso, y cada vehículo debe estacionarse en su espacio asignado. Si los inquilinos de Furlong Place tienen invitados, pueden estacionarse en los espacios designados para invitados, pero deben mostrar un permiso válido y solo pueden estacionarse por un máximo de 24 horas.

Por el momento, el Departamento de Policía de Vernon solo puede hacer cumplir estas normas remolcando vehículos estacionados ilegalmente. Las modificaciones propuestas a ciertas secciones de los Capítulos 1.08 (Citaciones Administrativas), 8.20 (Molestias) y 10.16 (Multas de Estacionamiento) del Código Municipal de Vernon otorgarían al Departamento de Policía la opción adicional de emitir multas de estacionamiento por infracciones, en lugar de remolcar como única medida para hacer cumplir la normativa.

Lo invitamos a compartir sus ideas sobre este cambio propuesto en la próxima reunión del Concejo Municipal indicada anteriormente o enviando comentarios por escrito a [email protected] con la fecha de la reunión y el título del tema en el asunto (el correo electrónico debe recibirse al menos dos horas antes del inicio de la reunión).

Atentamente,

A. Approve new, retitled and revised job descriptions; and B. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-022 adopting the Classification and Compensation Plan in accordance with Government Code Section 20636(b)(1) and repealing Resolution No. 2024-12.

Background
The Human Resources Department is responsible for the maintenance of the Citywide Classification and Compensation Plan (Plan) which consists of various classification specifications (job descriptions) as well as the Compensation Schedule that lists the classification titles and salaries for each classification which are attached to the Plan as Exhibit A.

New, Retitled and Revised Job Descriptions
As part of the annual budget process, Citywide Classification and Compensation Survey findings and labor negotiations, the Human Resources Department has worked in collaboration with all bargaining groups and City Departments to update/revise all existing job descriptions and establish new classifications as appropriate to ensure the City is in compliance and maintains a competitive position when recruiting and retaining employees. The new, retitled and revised job descriptions are provided as an attachment to this report with revisions shown in redline (Attachment 2).

Approval of new and revised Citywide job descriptions to incorporate Citywide Classification and Compensation Survey findings, market trends, updated duties, minimum qualifications, addition of new City logo, mandated language related to possession of a driver’s license and emergency response language.

Classification and Compensation Plan
Approval of the Classification and Compensation Plan to amend the existing plan is proposed to incorporate the new and revised Citywide job descriptions, approval of the associated salaries, FLSA designations, job code numbers, as recommended by the Citywide Classification and Compensation Survey and per the labor negotiations listed on the proposed Classification and Compensation Plan.

The current Classification and Compensation Plan includes a separate exhibit for each of the compensation schedules associated with each bargaining group as well as separate exhibits for unrepresented employees (Exhibits A-G of the current Classification and Compensation Plan).

The proposed Resolution would create one Classification and Compensation Plan with only one exhibit that would be all-encompassing and reflect uniformity within all salary grades. Having one compensation schedule for all employees provides equity across all groups and is more efficient administratively. A redline of the Classification and Compensation Plan is provided as an attachment to this report for reference (Attachment 3). . .
