City Council Agenda

Page 3 of 9
Over the past two years, Willdan has been helping the City achieve its
Housing and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) goals, which
include: housing rehabilitation loans; asbestos testing and removal; youth
scholarship and the removal of sidewalk barriers to comply with the
American with Disabilities Act (ADA).
For FY 2013-14, Willdan will focus on providing housing consultant
services and CDBG administration for the City. The Fourth Amendment
will increase Willdan’s original contract amount by an additional $25,000 for
them to provide services for FY 2013-14. The additional funds will allow
Willdan to: process housing rehabilitation loans; oversee required asbestos
and lead-based paint testing and abatement work; and required quarterly
and annual reporting to the Los Angeles County Community Development
Commission. If the Fourth Amendment is not executed, the City’s housing
program will be placed on hold and the City could risk losing CDBG funds.
Recommendation: Review and approve the Fourth Amendment to
the Consultant Services Agreement with Willdan
Engineering to: continue assistance with
Community Development Block Grant program
administration and provide housing consultant
services; and authorize the City Manager to
execute the Fourth Amendment to the
September 20, 2011, Consultant Services
Agreement with Willdan Engineering in an
amount not to exceed in $25,000.
E. APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH TEMPLE CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (Attachment A, B)
The City has a long history of supporting the Chamber, having provided
funding through an annual contract since 1970. In the past few years, City
staff and the Chamber’s Executive Director have worked closely to refocus
the Chamber’s resources and energy from that of a “parade chamber” to a
more business-oriented organization.
The City Council is requested to approve the Chamber’s annual
professional services agreement which will allow the organization to
continue its business-oriented role, while also initiating discussions for how
it will fulfill its mission over time. Upon completion of the Chamber’s five-
year strategic plan, due by December 31, 2013, staff will recommend as
part of the mid-year budget review process, an amended scope of services
to the Chamber’s annual professional services agreement. The amended
scope will more than likely establish a more defined economic development
role for the Chamber, toward supporting initiatives and programs to be

identified in the City’s upcoming five-year economic development strategy.
Recommendation: Approve a Professional Services Agreement
with the Temple City Chamber of Commerce
(Chamber) in an amount not to exceed $70,000
for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14; and direct the
City Manager to work with the Chamber’s
Executive Director to prepare, as part of the
City’s FY 2013-14 mid-year budget process, an
amended scope of services that directly aligns
the Chamber’s five-year strategic plan with the
City’s upcoming five-year economic
development strategy.
F. APPROVAL OF A LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THE ENTERPRISE
LAND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ELMS) PERMIT SYSTEM AND A FIVE
YEAR SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH EDGESOFT,
INC. (Attachment A, B)
For many years, the City has used a number of different standalone
software applications for its core operations which include: business
license; planning; code enforcement; building permits; and overnight
parking permits, which cannot be fully integrated. Consequently, the lack of
data integration has hindered the City’s ability to deliver the best customer
service to our residents and businesses. In 2010 to remedy this situation
the City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with EdgeSoft. Over
the past three years staff has worked the EdgeSoft and the Enterprise Land
Management System (ELMS) as part of the City’s overall technology
solution. ELMS has brought together the City’s various core functions. This
integration has improved coordination and reduced the time to review and
issue permits.
The 2010 Consultant Services Agreement is nearing the end of the
implementation phase and staff is looking forward to the next phase. These
proposed agreements allow the City to purchase an unlimited license to
use and own the software, and will provide five years of software
maintenance and upgrades.
Recommendation: Review and approve a License Agreement and
a five year Maintenance Agreement with
EdgeSoft Inc., for use of the Enterprise Land
Management System (ELMS) permit software;
and authorize the City Manager to execute the
License Agreement (i.e., $42,000 one-time
purchase price) and a five year Maintenance

Agreement (i.e., $24,000 annually) with
EdgeSoft Inc., in an amount not to exceed
$66,000 for the first year and $24,000 annually
thereafter.
G. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 13-4933 – APPROVAL OF PAYMENT
OF BILLS
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 13-4933 authorizing
the payment of bills.
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 13-4933.
H. PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION ACTIONS – SPECIAL MEETING OF JULY
9, 2013
The City Council is requested to review the Public Arts Commission actions
of their special meeting of July 9, 2013.
Recommendation: Receive and file.
8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-977
ADDING CHAPTER 11 TO TITLE 2 OF THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL
CODE IDENTIFYING THE BIDDING PROCESS FOR PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECTS TO COMPLY WITH THE UNIFORM PUBLIC
CONSTRUCTION COST ACCOUNTING ACT
In an effort to streamline the process and allow for alternative methods for
bidding public projects, the City Attorney recommended the City elect to be
subject the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Act). The
Act provides a set of procedures which are more closely tailored to smaller
projects and still allows for equality among contractors throughout the
bidding process.
Presentation: City Attorney
Recommendation:
Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 13-977 adding Chapter 11
to Title 2 of the Temple City Municipal Code identifying the bidding process
for public works projects to comply with the Uniform Public Construction
Cost Accounting Act.

B. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-976
AMENDING THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN TO ADD MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND MODIFY THE REQUIREMENTS
FOR MULTI-FAMILY AND SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING PROJECTS
Consistent with the California Department of Housing and Community
Development’s (HCD) approval of the City’s 2008-2014 Housing Element,
this amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) is one of several
policy changes that will help the City reach its Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) allotment. These changes must be implemented prior
to the City submitting the updated 2013-2021 Housing Element for review
by HCD in October 2013.
Presentation: Community Development Director
Recommendation:
Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 13-976 amending the
Downtown Specific Plan to add mixed use development standards and
modify the requirements for multi-family and senior citizen housing projects.
C. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-975,
AMENDING CHAPTER 1 (“ZONING CODE”) OF TITLE 9 (“ZONING
REGULATIONS”) OF THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO
ESTABLISH REGULATIONS AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP)
REQUIREMENT FOR: TOBACCO SHOPS; E-CIGARETTE/VAPORIZER
STORES; AND CLOSELY-RELATED BUSINESSES (Attachments A, B, C,
D, E)
Establishing regulations and restrictions for the sale and use of tobacco/e-
cigarette products is consistent with the City Council’s goals of protecting
public health and safety and enhancing quality of life for the community. In
the past few years, the City implemented a systematic update to the
Municipal Code to address evolving issues and growing concerns of the
community. The two earlier code amendments (i.e., Ordinance No. 09-928
in 2009 and Ordinance No. 12-965 in 2012) were direct results of such
efforts aimed at providing regulations for the use and sale of tobacco
products. The proposed Ordinance is a continuation of Municipal Code
amendments for the purpose of creating zoning restrictions for the
establishment and operation of tobacco/e-cigarette businesses within the
City’s limits.
