The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 825 on July 13, 2009 which consolidated the existing City Commissions and established minimum requirements for service. It should be noted that all Commission Members must reside within the City of Bell Gardens and may only serve on one Commission at a time. Once appointed, each Commissioner must adhere to the requirements of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code and state- mandated AB 1234 ethics training. Ordinance 825 allows each Council Member to nominate one (1) candidate per Commission, subject to the approval of the Council majority. The appointed Commission Member will serve a term that coincides with the term of the Council Member who made the original nomination. Recommendation: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council receive and file the local commissions appointments list.

Each Council member will not be participating, influencing, or voting on any such warrant bearing their name or which benefits the same named Council member, but with that exception is voting in favor of receiving and filing all other warrants contained in this report.

5. ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 878 AMENDING SECTIONS 17.28.060 AND 17.28.100 OF CHAPTER 17.28 On June 13, 2016, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 878 and waived first reading. On October 26, 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 828, adding Chapter 17.28 to Title 17 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code. On March 2, 2015, the Supreme Court of California, in In re Taylor (2015) 60 Cal.4th 1019, held that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s (the “CDDR”) blanket enforcement of the Penal Code’s residency restrictions on registered sex offenders was unconstitutional. On January 25, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance 869, to conform to the precedent set by In re Taylor. In December 2015, a lawsuit was filed against the City by a sex offender advocacy group challenging portions of the City’s remaining sex offender ordinance. As part of a proposed global settlement, the proposed ordinance would repeal portions of the City’s sex offender ordinance. Even with this revision of the BGMC, the CDCR retains the authority to impose special parole conditions on sex offender parolees. The remaining portions of the City’s sex offender ordinance will continue to place restrictions on multiple sex offenders from living or

occupying the same dwelling, unless legally related by blood, marriage or adoption. Amending section 17.28.060 of Chapter 17.28 does not prevent the City from adopting a similar provision in the future, if circumstances are changed by a future Court or state legislative action. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council waive second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 878, amending sections 17.28.060 and 17.28.100 of Chapter 17.28 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (the “BGMC”) entitled "Local Regulation of Sex Offenders.”

6. ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 876 AMENDING CHAPTER 16.20 OF THE BELL GARDENS MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY On June 13, 2016, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 876 and waived first reading. The Maintenance of Property Ordinance (“Ordinance”) was originally enacted to define conditions and uses of land that are detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, or which reduce property values in the City. Said regulations were developed to promote the sound maintenance of property, and enhance conditions of appearance, habitability, and safety of all structures and premises in the City by enacting minimum property maintenance standards. Amendments to the Ordinance were enacted in 1998 and 2002. The proposed draft ordinance will remove unenforceable citation provisions, and Officers will be able to rely on updated, and newly created, remedy and penalty provisions. The proposed amendment would allow Officers to give a shorter compliance deadline than ten (10) days, including a twenty-four (24) deadline, if emergency circumstances demand immediate corrective action by property owners. The proposed amendment also prohibits graffiti that is visible from any real property, public street, sidewalk, alley, or other public right-of-way. The proposed amendments will clarify the property maintenance regulations for the public, and will allow Officers to enforce the City’s laws in a more efficient and effective manner. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council waive second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 876 entitled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Bell Gardens Amending Chapter 16.20 of Title 16 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code, Relating to the Maintenance of Property.”

7. ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 877 AMENDING THE CITY’S CARD CLUB LICENSE REGULATIONS ORDINANCE On June 13, 2016, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 877 and waived first reading. The City enacted the Card Club License Regulations Ordinance in 1982, adding Chapter 5.25 to the BGMC. Since the City adopted the Ordinance, the State has taken on the burden of regulating, reviewing, investigating, and approving card clubs and card club employees, mainly through the Gambling Control Act (the “Act”). Under the Act there are two State entities that regulate gambling as it relates to card clubs, the Gambling Control Commission (the “Commission”) and the Bureau of Gambling Control (the “Bureau”). With the State regulations in place, some of the City’s regulations have become outdated and require updates to reflect changes in State law and general nomenclature. Additionally, with the addition of a hotel to the Bicycle Casino, consideration was necessary to make certain amendments to the Ordinance to address ambiguities that have arisen. The proposed changes to the Ordinance would update outdated portions of the Ordinance to reflect changes in State law, address ambiguities that have arisen as a result of the addition of a hotel to the Bicycle Casino, and clean-up portions of the Ordinance identified by City Staff. The City provided a copy of the proposed ordinance to the Bureau, and on April 18, 2016, the Bureau sent its determination that the proposed changes are in compliance with the Gambling Control Act. The City is required to provide the Bureau with a signed, certified copy of the amendment upon approval.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 877 amending Chapter 5.25 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (“BGMC”) regulating card clubs located in the City by updating outdated sections of Chapter 5.25 to reflect changes in State law, addressing ambiguities created by the opening of the hotel at the Bicycle Casino, and cleaning-up the Chapter.

8. APPROVAL OF CALIFORNIA CITIES FOR SELF-RELIANCE JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY (“JPA”) ADDENDUM TO THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT In 2001, the Cities of Bell Gardens, Commerce, Gardena, and Hawaiian Gardens formed the California for Self-Reliance Joint Powers Authority (the “Authority”) pursuant to a Joint Powers Agreement for the purpose of promoting and protecting the common economic interests of its member cities. In 2006, the Cities of Inglewood and Compton were added to the Authority as members. By coming together to form the Authority, its member cities can better leverage financial and political resources on the state and federal levels to promote and protect its residents’ shared economic interests addressing timely issues such as tribal gaming and online gaming. Under the Addendum to the Fourth Amendment, the member city of Cudahy will be designated as a “Trade Member” and shall have the right to elect one of its council members to serve as a Member of the Board of Directors of the Authority. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt City Council Resolution No. 2016-22 approving the Addendum to the Fourth Amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement to reflect the addition of the City of Cudahy as a member city.

DISCUSSION (Items No. 9-15)

9. ASSET FORFEITURE The Bell Gardens Police Department regularly utilizes proceeds from asset forfeiture cases to address operational needs related to crime enforcement and prevention strategies utilizing such tools as technology, equipment, and training that otherwise would not be available given budgetary restraints. The police department receives these proceeds from narcotics related investigations initiated by Bell Gardens Police Department personnel, or through involvement in the Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Crime Task Force (L.A. IMPACT). The primary mission of LA Impact is to identify and target Money Laundering Organizations operating in the southern California area with the ultimate goal of dismantling their operations. L.A. IMPACT focuses on arresting organizational leaders, seizing key narcotic supplies, confiscating proceeds obtained through their criminal enterprise and enhancing community safety. Since 2009, Bell Gardens Police Department has received in excess of $1 million in asset forfeiture proceeds that allowed for the purchase of vehicles, radio communications equipment, a Shotspotter Gunshot Detection System, mobile computers, a Video Camera Surveillance System and similar equipment. This equipment has been successfully utilized to reduce violent crime and high volume narcotics trafficking in the City of Bell Gardens. Currently, the California Legislature is debating SB443, which if passed in its current form, would significantly hinder future investigations and make our fight against these criminal organizations needlessly more difficult. Creating more restrictive laws will significantly affect law enforcement’s ability to dismantle these organizations. Recommendation: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2016-23, entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Bell Gardens supporting state of California Law Enforcement efforts to maintain existing law concerning asset forfeiture, and oppose SB443 in its current form.”

City Manager Phil Wagner gave an introduction to the item and asked Chief of Police Robert Barnes to give a presentation.

Chief of Police Robert Barnes introduced Special Agent David King and Assistant Director of LA Impact PJ Guido.

After some discussion, a motion was made by Council Member Mendoza and seconded by Council Member Flores to adopt Resolution No. 2016-23 entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Bell Gardens supporting state of California Law Enforcement efforts to maintain existing law concerning asset forfeiture, and oppose SB443 in its current form.”

10. AWARD OF STREET TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES CONTRACT TO TRIMMING LAND COMPANY The City owns and is responsible for approximately 4,500 trees which comprise its urban forest including public parks, facilities, streets and median islands. The scope of work for the proposed contract includes sufficient tree trimming, pruning sides to lighten and balance, removing deadwood and crossed branches, and raising lower limbs and branches to legal height to provide for general health of the tree and safety of the public. This year’s target area includes 50% of the city’s street trees and a portion of park trees. Staff solicited Requests for Proposals (“RFPs”) by sending RFPs to seven (7) companies that specialize in tree maintenance contracts for public agencies. As of the bid submission deadline date of April 11, 2016, three (3) proposals were received from West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA), Trimming Land Company, Inc. (TLC) and Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. (GSTS). In accordance with the Award Criteria in the RFP, the Grand Totals of each bid determined the lowest bid. After reviewing the initial contract price proposals, City Staff closely reviewed each proposal to determine if the proposals conformed to the requirements of the City’s RFP. After this review, it was determined that TLC’s proposal contained some minor irregularities. Following the May 9th City Council Meeting, the City Council continued this item and directed City staff to bring this item back to a future City Council meeting. Subsequently, City staff commenced to analyze the potential costs-benefits of selecting the higher cost proposal. City staff determined that the minor irregularities contained in TLC's proposal (which do not affect the contract price) in comparison to the approximately $7,000 additional annual costs to the City as a result of selecting the 2nd low bid was not justified. The anticipated total savings achieved from selecting the TLC was substantial and could not be overlooked. Therefore, City staff recommends that the City Council waive all irregularities contained in TLC’s proposal and award the tree trimming contract to the lowest bidder TLC. If approved, the contract with TLC costs the City $166,060 annually. The 2015-2016 Fiscal Year Budget includes sufficient funds in the Public Works Maintenance and Operation budget for annual tree trimming. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council: (1) Waive all minor bid irregularities and award a contract for citywide tree trimming to Trimming Land Company (“TLC”) for a period of three (3) years, beginning on June 28, 2016, and expiring on June 30, 2019; and (2) Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with TLC in a form approved by the City Attorney.

City Manager Phil Wagner gave an introduction to the item.

Mayor Pro Tem Aceituno made a motion to go out to RFP again to make sure that all prevailing wages are met.

Council Member Flores made a substitute motion to approve staff’s recommendation to waive all minor bid irregularities and award a contract for citywide tree trimming to Trimming Land Company (“TLC”) for a period of three (3) years, beginning on June 28, 2016, and expiring on June 30, 2019; and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with TLC in a form approved by the City Attorney. Council Member Pulido seconded the substitute motion.

As a result, the City Council adopted an underground utility district by resolution. By this resolution, the City has established an underground utility district along Scout Avenue/Park Lane from Garfield Avenue to 100 feet east of Emil Avenue. The City of Bell Gardens has accumulated an adequate amount of Rule 20A funds that has been set aside for the specific purpose of placing overhead utility lines underground. SCE has started the process of designing the plans and specifications for the undergrounding of the utility lines along the aforementioned location. In doing so, various easements are needed by SCE to place their utility equipment underground. Upon granting of the easements, SCE will complete the design of the undergrounding of the various utility lines along Park Lane/Scout Avenue. Currently, the Rough Order of Magnitude Cost (Engineer’s Estimate) for the project is $3,300,000. A final cost estimate will be conducted prior to SCE bidding the project. The estimated trench footage for the project is 5,450 feet or just over a mile. The project’s estimated construction start date is 2017. The City is projected to accumulate adequate Rule 20A funds to cover the costs of the project. Recommendation: It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council: 1) Approve the granting of four (4) easements along Park Lane/Scout Avenue from Garfield Avenue to 100 feet east of Emil Avenue; and 2) Authorize the Mayor to execute the easements on behalf of the City.

Director of Public Works Chau Vu introduced Steve Forester, the Project Manager for the Park Lane Project.

13. APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS LIGHTING UPGRADE – C.I.P. NO.3849

The current entire lighting system used within the city hall council chambers is estimated to be well over 25 years old and not working properly or efficiently. There are also concerns that the electrical service that provides the power to the system may need to be upgraded as well. Therefore, it has become an urgent priority to address this project as soon as possible in order to continue to conduct city business on schedule and provide an adequate meeting place at City Hall for the our community residents. The engineers have completed the design and construction documents for this project. The scope of the work consists of the replacement of outdated and obsolete electrical lighting fixtures. The project will remove and replace 109 fixtures with energy efficient lighting and illumination fixtures to reduce energy consumption and provide adequate lighting for public meetings. The project also includes renovation and restoration of sub-standard electrical wiring and restoration of wall and ceiling surrounding areas.
