Staff seeks approval of the following staffing /classification changes for the FY 16 Budget.
1) On May 26, 2015, the City Council authorized staff to issue layoff notices for the
following positions:
• Deputy City Treasurer— Reclass from Full -Time to Part-Time
• Deputy Director of Administrative Services
• Public Information Officer— Reclass from Full -Time to Part-Time
• Permit Technician
• Public Works Associate
• Director of Development Services
• Business License Specialists — 3 Positions
Prior to the issuance of the layoff notices on May 28, 2015, the Deputy Director of
Administrative Services informed the Director of Human Resources and Risk
Management that she intends to retire from the City on November 30, 2015. Staff
recommends that the layoff notice for the Deputy Director of Administrative
Services be rescinded and that the budget only include funding for salaries and
benefits through November 30, 2015. This recommendation would still provide
substantial savings to the City and would enable to City to redirect additional
CDBG funding (approximately $100K) for other CDBG eligible activities. Staff
requests Council approval to negotiate a separation agreement for the Deputy
Director of Administrative Services.
In efforts to maintain adequate service levels, staff also recommends that Council
consider the following alternatives to the layoffs for the following positions:
Deputy City Treasurer — Split the Deputy City Treasurer's duties 50/50
between the City Treasurer's Office and the Finance & Administration
Department. The Deputy City Treasurer can provide much needed
assistance in the Finance & Administration Department with cashiering,
customer service, tracking of non - sufficient fund payments, accounts
payable support, tracking of users' utility tax exemptions, and other duties
as needed.
Permit Technician — The Development Services Department has a contract
with Infrastructure Engineers for plan check, building inspection, and
counter support services. The building inspection services included in the
contract are used to augment the building inspection services provided
internally by the City's Building Inspector. Going forward, the Infrastructure
Building Inspector will only be used on an as needed basis, which will result
in savings that will cover the salary and benefits of the Permit Technician.
Public Information Officer— Maintain the Public Information Officer as a full -
time position and assign certain duties related to public outreach for the
3
City's water conservation efforts. Shift 50% of salary and benefits to the
Water Fund for water conservation- related duties.
If the above layoffs (excluding the Deputy Director of Administrative Services) are
approved by Council, the City would realize savings in the amount of $467K for the
General Fund and $564K for all funds. If the Deputy City Treasurer, Permit
Technician, and Public Information Officer positions remain (as described in the
above alternatives), the City would realize savings in the amount of $353K for the
General Fund and $451 K for all funds.
2) Staff recommends the elimination of the following vacant positions:
• Maintenance Worker
• Public Works Technician
• Senior HR Analyst
• Financial Analyst
• Development Services Manager
Staff also recommends that the City'freeze' hiring for the vacant Deputy City Clerk
position.
On June 16, 2015, staff recommended the elimination of two vacant Maintenance
Worker positions. Due to significant staffing shifts between divisions within the
Public Works Department, the Director of Human Resources & Risk Management
performed a detailed review and reconciliation of all Public Works positions. It was
determined that there is only one vacant budgeted Maintenance Worker position.
Per further review of departmental operations, staff recommends the elimination
of one vacant Public Works Technician position to assist with needed cost savings
without impacting service levels.
If the above vacant positions proposed for elimination are approved by Council,
the City would realize savings in the amount of $319K for the General Fund and
$428K for all funds.
The Financial Analyst position is one of two key positions within the City
responsible for the Citywide budget development and monitoring as well as
financial analyses. Staff recommends that the Administrative Analyst III in the City
Manager's Office be transferred to the Finance & Administration Department for
FY 16 to assist with the above mentioned duties.
In regards to the proposed elimination of the above positions, staff would like for
Council to consider the following:
The proposed elimination of certain budgeted positions — Deputy Director of
Administrative Services and Senior HR Analyst, does not simply mean that there
is no work remaining that would otherwise be performed by individuals who may
2
have filled the positions. Clearly work related to HUD /CDBG administration and
matters, risk management, adaptation to new regulatory environments such as
water resource management and water conservation efforts including enforcement
matters, and general policy and procedures development remains after reduction
in staffing.
What staff wishes to convey to Council is that effective, efficient and proactive
management of the various areas identified above requires that a portion of the
budget savings be redirected to bring to the City a talented individual whose skills
and experience makes him /her a suitable candidate to serve across all the areas
identified above. For the reasons stated below, staff proposes creating the position
of Administrative Services Manager OR Assistant to the City Manager (title may
be adjusted prior to the hiring) to address the needs of the City after the
elimination or phasing out of specific positions presented in the proposed budget.
In the absence of such a position, we may provide an opportunity for current staff
members to claim, as certain duties are delegated, that they are working out of
classification and their title and compensation should be adjusted accordingly.
Staff proposes recruitment for the position at a salary level of not more than
$110,000 plus benefits (for an approximate total of $177,000). The position as
described has no General Fund impact. The salary and benefits would be covered
by savings from the elimination of the Deputy Director of Administrative Services
and Senior HR Analyst positions, as well as the vacant Risk Analyst position which
is not proposed for elimination.
Salary allocation for the proposed position is 30% Water Fund, 30% CDBG Fund,
and 40% Self- Insurance Fund. Staff further suggests that the position have an At-
Will Contract status with a term of 3 years and an annual evaluation. This
approach will provide the City with an opportunity to avoid long term commitments
that may arise from permanent employment or reclassifications, so that we can
properly evaluate the benefits against the costs of the new position.
3) To respond to quality of life concerns and the need for improvement in a variety of
areas, staff recommends the addition of the following positions:
• 2 Code Enforcement Officers
• 2 Parking Enforcement Officers
Upon Council approval of the addition of the above positions, $316K will be added
to the General Fund budget. This addition will be offset by the proposed layoffs.
4) To comply with the Governor's Water Conservation Policy and Council declared
Level 2 Water Shortage, staff recommends Council to approve adding 2 Water
Conservation Education /Enforcement Officers. Staff requests that these positions
be initially approved for a two -year term. Six months prior to the two -year term,
staff will provide an update on the accomplishments of the program.
5
Upon Council approval of the addition of the above positions, $156K will be added
to the Water Fund budget.
In addition, the Media Specialist will be assigned certain water conservation related
duties, which will result in $55K in savings for the General Fund.
Fiscal Impact:
If all budget recommendations are approved by Council, the FY 16 projected General
Fund deficit would be decreased by $412K. See table below for summary.

Background:
On June 16, 2015, the City Council conducted a Budget Workshop to review the City
Manager's Proposed FY 16 Budget and to provide staff with input. The Budget Workshop
focused on the General Fund. City staff presented on the following:
• FY 15 Year -End Budget Update
• Ongoing Fiscal Challenges & Issues
• FY 16 City Manager Proposed Budget
• Overview of FY 16 Budget
Discussion & Analysis:
FY 15 General Fund Year -End Performance
On June 24, 2014, the City Council adopted (in part) the City's Fiscal Year 2014 -15 (FY
15) Operating Budget. The FY 15 General Fund Adopted Budget included $27.3 million
in expenditures, $26.4 million in revenues with a budget gap of $0.9 million covered by
General Fund reserves. On June 24, 2014, certain departmental budgets were continued
until proposed position changes were reviewed and analyzed by the Human Resources
Department, approved by the Personnel Commission, and meet and confer requirements
were met.
Subsequent to the completion of a Classification and Compensation Study for the
proposed reclassifications and meet and confer requirements, the City Council adopted
the FY 15 Budget in its entirety on November 4, 2014.

FY 15 Year -End Revenue Performance:
Overall, revenues for the City are up 1.4% (or $363K) compared to the FY 15 Adjusted
Budget. Several revenues are projected to exceed the adjusted budget.
The City's largest revenue, Property Tax, is up by 3.8% (or $319K) compared to the FY
15 Adjusted Budget. The FY 15 Adjusted Budget was based on projections provided by
MuniServices, the City's Property & Sales Tax Consultant. The FY 15 year -end estimated
3
property tax revenue is more than projected revenue previously provided by MuniServices
due to an increase in the assessed value.
Sales Tax is up by 1.4% (or $54K) compared to the FY 15 Adjusted Budget. Sales Tax is
the City's third largest revenue. The FY 15 Adjusted Budget was based on projections
provided by MuniServices, the City's Property & Sales Tax Consultant. The projected
increase was due to the end of the Triple Flip. Initially, the State was planning to go back
to the 1 % local tax allocation in June 2015. This assumption was included in
MuniServices' FY 15 Sales and Use Tax forecast, for which the City's FY 15 Adopted
Budget for Sales Tax was based upon. Per MuniServices, the State is now planning to
go back to the 1 % local tax allocation in October 2015, which falls into FY 16. The City
expects to receive a true -up payment in FY 16.
UUT revenues are down by 4.9% (or $269K). This is due to a decrease in UUT - Gas and
UUT - Telephone. The decrease in UUT - Gas is attributed to a decline in Southern
California Gas Company residential and commercial /industrial rates. Effective January
1, 2015, the procurement component of the core sales rate was to decrease 14.552 cents
per therm to 34.124 cents per therm. The decrease resulted from a 13.160 cents per
therm decrease in commodity prices and a 1.392 cents per therm decrease in account
adjustments. Compared to a year ago, the procurement rate is about 28.5% (47.715
cents per therm) lower than what is was effective January 2014. Combined with the
transportation rate, core residential and commercial /industrial sales customers will see
about a 12.2% rate decrease from December 2014.
UUT - Telephone continues to decrease due to the increase in data and prepaid wireless
plans. Currently, UUT is not collected on data plans and prepaid wireless. As a result of
AB 1717 — Prepaid Wireless, which was signed by the Governor in September 2014, the
City will be able to collect UUT on wireless prepaid beginning in January 2016 (FY 16)
through January 2020 (FY 20).
Charges for Current Services increased due to an increase in Plan Check Fees (up $34K),
Site Plan Reviews (up $14K), Engineering Inspections (up $115K), Fire Inspection Fees
(up $50K), Bateman Rentals (up $35K), and Billboard Agreement (up $197K). The
Billboard Agreement revenue increase is attributed to the fact that this is the first year for
payment from Oakwood Plaza as well as catch -up payments from Bulletin Displays.
Fines, Forfeits, & Penalties revenue is down due to a decrease in Parking Enforcement
revenues, specifically Miscellaneous Parking Fines (down $175K).
FY 15 Year -End Expenditure Performance:
Overall, the City's operational expenditures are down by 3% (or $848K) based on the FY
15 Adjusted Budget.
In efforts to meet the Reserve Policy, Finance staff met with all Department Heads to
identify budgeted expenditures that were not essential to departmental operations and
M
providing adequate service levels. A total of $185K in operational line items savings were
identified and avoided.
The City Manager implemented a hiring freeze for all vacant positions, with the exception
of the Public Works Office Assistant, Public Works Administrative Analyst III, Public
Works Assistant, Public Works Technicians, and Human Resources Customer Service
Interns. Total vacancy salary savings are estimated at $205K. Some of the salary
savings will now be used to cover the contract extension for the Interim Director of Public
Works.
Additionally, the City Manager directed all departments to only expend funds on essential
goods and services. Based on FY 15 year -end estimates, staff anticipates over $458K in
operational line items savings. This was possible because of the efforts and commitment
of all management and employee groups who appreciated the seriousness of the fiscal
needs of the City.
Monitoring of Prior Deficit Funds:
With the elimination of the City's deficit funds, it is imperative that the City remains diligent
in ensuring that all prior deficit funds (Landscape Maintenance Assessment District Fund,
Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Fund, Traffic Safety Fund, and Self -
Insurance Fund) limit their expenditures to available revenue. Finance staff will continue
to closely monitor all funds, paying particular attention to the prior deficit funds. The City's
General Fund Reserve must not be taken for granted as a fallback funding source for
structural deficits (i.e. overspending in these funds). The FY 15 year -end estimates show
no anticipated operating deficits for the above mentioned funds, with the exception of the
Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District Fund, which will end FY 15 with a deficit
balance of $107K. This is primarily due to lower than anticipated revenues, as well as
increased repairs and maintenance, and other fees for services.
For FY 16, staff projects an operating deficit in the Landscape Maintenance Assessment
District Fund in the amount of $409K. This is due to an $84K increase in salaries and
benefits, $54K increase in other fees for services for gopher control services, $121 K
increase in operating supplies, and $130K increase in professional /contractual services
for tree trimming services and an arborist.
Ongoing Fiscal Issues and Challenges
• Stable Revenues — General Fund revenues (in the aggregate) have remained flat
and have not increased to cover projected expenditure growth. The City continues
to explore additional sources of revenue to meet expectations for community
services. In addition, the City's FY 16 Budget includes funding for increased use
of technology to improve the efficiency of overall operations and to increase
revenues. Revenue enhancement is important in regards to prudent long -term
financial planning and to avoid depleting General Fund reserves.
y01
• Public Safety — Public Safety is the City's number one priority. The budget for
Public Safety is the largest General Fund expenditure at over 55% of the General
Fund budget (up from 51% in 2012). The cost for providing Sheriff and Fire
services continues to climb annually. For FY 15, the cost increased by $471 K and
is projected to increase by an additional $496K in FY 16 [2.69% for Fire and 2.5%
for Sheriff (plus 2% for Liability)]. These increases are based on rate increases
and are not attributable to increases in service levels.
• CalPERS Employer Paid Contributions — CalPERS approved new actuarial
policies that are aimed at returning the System to fully- funded status within 30
years. These changes will be implemented in FY 16, and will be phased in over
five years resulting in increased employer contributions for the City. Additional
increases in employer contributions are expected due to changes in actuarial
assumptions (i.e. mortality rates) and the discount rate. The total increase for the
period between FY 16 and FY 20 is estimated at 10% to 11 %. Based on the
projected FY 16 CalPERS rate (27.244 %), the total PERS contribution rate for all
employees' retirement costs has increased by 42.5% from FY 09.
• Other Post - Employment Benefits Liability — The City must consider increasing
its $500,000 annual contribution (paid from the Self- Insurance Fund) to address a
projected cumulative liability of $19.3 million to fully fund lifetime medical, dental,
vision, and life insurance benefits for the City's retirees by 2021.
• Claims /Litigation Costs — Litigation costs and claims paid out are major
expenses for the City and have impacted the budget the last several fiscal years.
Staff has fostered a more engaged and proactive relationship with the third party
administrator (TPA) and ICRMA to ensure that claims /cases are properly
evaluated and adequately reserved for a more protracted resolution. Currently,
the City does not fund or set aside reserves for claims (incurred or anticipated). It
has been the City's past practice to fund claims on an "as needed" basis to bring
about resolution and disposition of claims.
As a matter of best practice, reserves must incorporate the third party
administrator's assessment of the probable ultimate payout of the claim as the
claim /case progresses. Estimates are the result of evaluation by Counsel, TPA,
and ICRMA of all key areas of a claim. Each aspect of a claim; indemnity, medical
and expense, is evaluated on its merits and continually updated and refined.
The FY 16 Budget includes adequate funding for settlement/disposition of all
current workers' compensation and liability claims.
Additionally, to comply with ICRMA's adopted changes to the Third Party
Administrator Performance Standards, the City is required to establish a liability
claim payment trust account, similar to the existing trust account for workers'
compensation. It is a requirement to make liability claim payments through a trust
account. Finance staff recommends that the liability trust account begin with a
balance of $150,000, which will be replenished as additional funds are needed.
Finance staff also recommends that the workers' compensation trust account
balance be increased to $150,000 from $80,000 to ensure adequate coverage for
claims related expenses and to reduce the number of replenishments needed
throughout the fiscal year. These recommendations are based on recent
experience with workers' compensation and liability claims.
• Reserves — The City should meet and when possible exceed the General Fund
Reserve Policy to meet unexpected emergencies and to stabilize operations.
FY 16 Proposed Budget Overview
The City Manager and Finance staff met with all Departments and Offices to review and
discuss FY 16 proposed budgets. Please see table below for a comparison of the FY 15

• Transfers Out (up $293K) — To cover debt service. The FY 16 Initial Budget does
not include transfers out to the Self- Insurance Fund and Landscape Maintenance
Fund.
Other FY 16 Proposed Budget Recommendations
The FY 16 City Manager's Proposed Budget is the fourth year of a multi -year approach
to address the fiscal issues and challenges listed above. The FY 16 City Manager
Proposed Budget recommends the following actions:
1) Approval of Staffing /Classification Changes Including Layoffs, Elimination of
Vacant Positions, Addition of Positions, and Transfers
2) Redirect CDBG Funding Allocation - City Council approved the defeasance of the
Section 108 Loan at the April 21, 2015 City Council meeting. Repayment of the
Section 108 Loan Guarantee was made from the City's Section 108 Loan proceeds
in the amount of $3,725,969. The defeasance of the Section 108 Loan has
resulted in the use of additional CDBG funding in the amount of $630K and
remaining Section 108 Loan proceeds ($124K) for CDBG eligible activities (i.e.
Recreation Programs, Code Enforcement, Animal Control, and Repairs &
Maintenance) that historically, have been covered by the General Fund. Staff is
working on a plan for the use of the additional CDBG funding.
3) Unclaimed Refundable Deposits from 1992 through 1999 — The City receives
refundable deposits for the following:
• Bond (deposit) for work within the right of way. This is to guarantee that
work within the right -of -way will be done to applicable standards and
specifications.
Construction and Demolition Deposit. This is due to a state mandate
requiring 50% diversion of construction related debris. The deposit is to
encourage recycling of construction debris.
In accordance with City Policy and Government Code Section 50050, funds that
remain unclaimed for three years become the property of the City after public
notice if not claimed.
Total unclaimed refundable deposits for the above period are approximately
$102K.
City Council approved the publishing of the list of unclaimed refundable deposits
on June 2, 2015. If refundable deposits are not claimed by July 31, 2015, the funds
will be transferred to the General Fund miscellaneous revenue account.
4) Sales Tax Increase — In addition to flat revenue growth, unavoidable operational
increases continue to surpass Citywide budget reductions annually and deplete
the City's reserves. Over the last five (5) fiscal years, Public Safety contracts
increased by an average of $582K per year, while service levels remained the
same. CalPERS retirement costs and health premiums are also unavoidable costs
that continue to increase. In order to contend with these unavoidable operational
increases, the City Council may want to consider a sales tax increase to support
increased operations costs and avoid large -scale cuts to vital services we provide
to our community in future fiscal years.
5) To maintain adequate funding levels in the General Fund and support Citywide
services provided to residents, staff recommends a Transfer In from the Refuse
Fund to the General Fund in the amount of $800K. This has been included in the
FY 16 City Manager's Proposed Budget (as reflected in Table 2).
6) Satisfy the General Fund reserve requirements at not less than 110% of the
required reserve level ($3.3M). The proposed budget reaches only 96% of the
required reserve level (at $2.86M).
7) Continue to monitor spending in prior deficit funds. City staff noted that there is an
ongoing structural deficit in the Landscape Maintenance Assessment Fund as
projected expenditures exceed revenues. Staff recommends that Council consider
an increase in the assessment rates. Rates have not increased in over 30 years.
8) Refunding of 2008 Lynwood Utility Authority Bonds — Per review of the City's
outstanding bonds, the 2008 Series A Lynwood Utility Authority bonds are eligible
for refunding. Potential savings would be approximately 3.4% of the refunded par
amount with savings $21K to $11 K per year from 2018 through 2038 with a net
present value of $313K. We would not ' need to extend the maturity of the
outstanding bonds. The 2008 Series A bonds mature in 2038.
9
With lower interest rates, the amount of new money that could be raised by
refunding the above bonds and extending the maturity to 2045, is $1 M. This would
greatly assist the City in its water infrastructure needs. However, water rates would
need to be increased to cover current operational expenditures, meet the required
debt service coverage ratio of 1.25, and cover the estimated debt service increase
ranging from $35K to $95K per year.
The City must continue to be conservative and manage its fiscal affairs in a prudent
manner. Long -term financial and operational stability requires leadership,
commitment, planning, and effective execution as well as a thriving national and local
economy. Financial stability and the ability to surmount unexpected downturns and
adverse financial conditions require sound planning and execution, adhering to a
collective vision founded upon service to and protection of the welfare of our
community.
Fiscal Impact:
If all budget recommendations are approved by Council,-the FY 16 projected deficit would
decrease from $2.5M to $1.2M. Do bear in mind, however, that the use of CDBG funding
is limited to specific programmatic needs that comply with HUD guidelines. It is therefore
appropriate to anticipate a significant reduction in the amount of CDBG funds that will be
redirected. See table below for summary.
FY 16 Projected Deficit
$2,463,571
Staffing /Classification Changes Including Layoffs, Elimination of Vacant
Positions, Addition of Positions, and Transfers
(411,734)
Redirecting of CDBG Funds (Section 108 Loan Defeasance)
(753,583)
Unclaimed Refundable Deposits
(101,749)
Revised FY 16 Deficit (Based on Above Budget Recommendations)
$1,196,505
In efforts to adopt a balanced budget, staff recommends the following budget
changes /reductions:
Reduce Repairs /Maintenance Budget for Bateman Hall Renovation
(300,000)
Reduce Liability Insurance Expense Budget
(200,000)
Shift of Salaries and Benefits to Water Fund for Director of Human
Resources & Risk Management (30 %), Personnel Analyst III (20 %),
Financial Analyst (15%), and Administrative Analyst III (10 %)
(106,715)
Reduce Operational Budget
(97,133)
Eliminate Vacant Part-Time Positions [City Clerk's Part-Time Office
Assistant II (1), Part-Time Code Enforcement Officers (2), Part-Time
Parking Enforcement Officers (1), Part-Time Senior Lifeguard (1), and
Part-Time Recreation Specialist (1)]
(115,470
Use of General Fund Reserves
(377,187)
Total Budget Changes /Reductions
($1,196,505)
10
Taking into account the above recommended budget changes /recommendations, the
projected ending fund balance would be $2.86M, which is $121 K below the City's reserve
policy.
Please note that the proposed_, budget does not incorporate potential contributions that
may result from negotiations for a successor MOU. Negotiations with the LEA and LEMG
union groups are ongoing. We expect negotiations will continue over the next 60 days
before they can be brought to a conclusion.

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
May 2015
Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
The California Revenue and Taxation Code, section 2227, mandates the Department of Finance
(Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2015,
in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations
limit for fiscal year 2015 -16. Attachment A provides the change in California's per capita personal
income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to
calculate the 2015 -16 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides city and unincorporated county
population percentage change. Attachment C provides population percentage change for
counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes
federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. Consult the Revenue and
Taxation Code section 2228 for further information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII
B, section 9(C), of the State Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations
limit calculation mandate. The Code and the California Constitution can be accessed at the
following website: http : / /leginfo.legislature.ca.gov /faces /codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation
as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this issue should be referred
to their respective county for clarification, or to their legal representation, or to the law itself. No
state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. Revenue and Taxation
Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that
exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller's Office. Finance will certify
the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2015.
Please (dote: Prior year's city population estimates may be revised.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at
(916) 323 -4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XI II B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living
factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost
of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage
change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used
in setting the fiscal year 2015 -16 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2015 -16 3.82
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in
California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2015 -16
appropriation limit.
2015 -16:

9
Pursuant to Section 36500, et. sec. of the Streets and Highway Code of
the State of California (CSHC), on November 27, 1985, Ordinance 1262
was adopted into law establishing the Parking and Business Improvement
District (PBID). PBID assessments are levied as a fair and equitable way
to provide funds to maintain, operate, and improve business areas in the
City.
The fundamental purpose of the PBID is to promote the economic
revitalization and physical maintenance of the Lynwood business
community.
Section 3 of the ordinance identifies the PBID Area as all of the territory
within the boundaries of the City of Lynwood.
Section 4a of the ordinance established the system of charge and the
method each business would be assessed. The mandated levy to be
imposed annually is 50% of the business license tax to all businesses
located within the PBID area.
AGENDA
ITEM
5. The proposed use of these funds was submitted for approval to the PBID
Advisory Board on May 12, 201.5. The PBID Board approved the report for
the expenditure of the PBID funds for the fiscal year 2014 -2015, having
determined that the use is beneficial to the business community.
6. On May 26, 2015, the City Council approved the PBID report and
resolution for use of funds having concurred with the PBID Board that the
use is beneficial to the business community.
7. As a result, Council set the date of the public hearing for June 16, 2015 at
6pm in the City Council Chambers to allow for any public comment and
protests, whether oral or verbal concerning the intended use of funds.
8. On June 8, 2015, pursuant to section 36534(b) of the CSHC, the City
fulfilled its requirement of publishing the resolution of intention once in a
newspaper of general circulation in the City not less than seven (7) days
before the public hearing.
9. At the close of the public hearing, Council exercised its authority pursuant
to Section 36535 of: the CSHC and held over the Hearing requesting
modifications to the spending plan and additional information. The hearing
on the PBID levy and spending plan shall resume on July 7, 2015 for
consideration and adoption.
10.On June 29, 2015, pursuant to section 36534(b) of the CSHC, the City
fulfilled its requirement of publishing the resolution of intention once in a
newspaper of general circulation in the City not less than seven (7) days
before the public hearing.
11.At the close of the public hearing, unless protests are submitted that
collectively represent 50% or more of the proposed annual assessment
amount to be imposed, the Council may adopt a resolution to levy the
annual assessment.
Discussion & Analysis:
PBID assessments are levied as a fair and equitable way to provide funds to
maintain, operate, and improve business areas in the City. Based on the PBID
assessment revenue to date, the anticipated revenue for FY 15 will be
approximately $150,000. The PBID Board, in its meeting of Tuesday, May 12,
2015, received staff's proposal and approved a spending plan recommendation
of approximately $318,000. After review by Council, it was further determined to
modify the spending plan reflecting a new budget of $467,500. A portion of the
$378,205 in unused funds from FY 15 will be used to cover remaining costs
associated with FY16 appropriations (See past expenditures). Funds assessed in
the District will be used to benefit the businesses.
2
The spending plan to be considered by the PBID Board is based on the needs of
the District as determined by the completion of a Needs Assessment to identify
issues and related costs to maintain and improve the City's business areas. The
report includes a spending plan for the following FY16 projects:
• Economic Development Initiative
• Surveillance Camera Monitoring Equipment
• Street Sweeping Maintenance
• Boom Truck Acquisition
In addition, any funds unspent from the previous fiscal year's budget not intended
for use in the proposed spending plan are recommended to be kept in reserves.
Expenses regularly arise that may exceed the budgeted costs.
SPENDING PLAN:
A summary of the spending plan as well as the proposed activities and budget for
the new fiscal period are provided below:
Economic Development Initiative: $349,500
The Economic Development Incentive is to address overall assistance involving
business related issues that may arise throughout the year and provide relief to
businesses in need of assistance. The incentive will also provide funds to
enhance infrastructure aesthetics that will promote commerce and consumer
activity in our business district
1. City Gateway monument signs $100,000
2. (NEW) Parking lot and landscaping improvement - Proposed to limit
Commercial Improvement Program assistance to landscaping and the
Parking Lots of businesses along the City's thoroughfares within the
business districts. The maximum size restrictions and general rules will
still apply as with existing Commercial Improvement Program. A possible
condition of participation could be the business is required to improve
structure /building on site in order to receive parking lot and landscape
assistance. 150,000
3. To Develop plans or concepts to market the existing businesses in
Lynwood $8,000
4. To create marketing schemes to attract new business to our City. $8,000
5. To address other infrastructure signage in business districts as needed,
$8,000
6. To address architectural requirements and fees related to Business
District landscape and streetscape plans; $50,000
7. Advertisement of, and special events to promote new and existing
businesses within Lynwood throughout City and during events. $8,000
3
8. Necessary equipment purchases and or rentals at certain trade events
such as Farmer's Markets and Street Fairs, $6,000
9. Business Conventions - to assist in the recruitment and or attraction of
desired businesses and tenants for Lynwood and to showcase the
Lynwood business community as a place to do business through
marketing material and exposure at national and international levels.
(Cost of booth space, hand out materials and City giveaways) $6,500
10. Provide funding to purchase banners and flyers $5,000
Surveillance Camera Monitoring Equipment: $3,000
Surveillance cameras have had a positive impact on the Lynwood business
community. Crime has substantially been reduced which allows business owners
to operate more efficiently throughout the year. Crime not only includes theft, but
also includes graffiti and vandalism. The presence of cameras is a deterrent and
if a crime occurs, the conviction rate increases with the ability to identify those
responsible. The proposed cost for the equipment to monitor these cameras will
be $3,000. (See attached Camera Program memo).
Street Sweeper Maintenance Contract: $30,000
Street sweeping is a needed service to maintain the cleanliness of our business
thoroughfares. The service has a direct and positive effect on the businesses of
our City and has been deemed an eligible expense for PBID funds. The annual
cost for this service as it applies to Lynwood's business districts is $30,000. The
contract for said services is attached.
Partial Payment of Boom Truck — Public Works: $85,000
The vehicle is described as a Lift Truck; which contains a man bucket. This man
bucket can be lifted vertically to a distance of 35 -40 feet and it is used in the
following matter;
1. Repair and maintain lighting at City owned parking lots
2. Repair and install safety lights
3. Install banners on major boulevards for public events; such as Hazardous
Waste Collection event, Electronic Waste event etc.
4. Install banners on arterial roads promoting school district learning events
5. Installation of Christmas decorations on high wires and other purpose
decorations
6. Installation of banners for carnival activities and other public events
7. Installation of banners on light poles for Saint Francis Hospital to promote
heath activities
8. Repair and maintain City owned Traffic Signal heads
Ell
The Lift Truck in question will be used for all the above activities year round. We
are currently requesting funding for approximately 50% of the cost of the Lift
Truck. It is estimated that Lift Truck would cost approximately $150,000 to
$175,000. Pricing information is attached for your review.
TOTAL ALLOCATION $ 467,500
Past Expenditures: FY 15
Due to the nature of the expenditures requested in the previous fiscal year's.fund
allocation, funds have not been fully expended and must be carried into FY 16. A
summary of the FY 15 spending plan and status is as follows:
Fund Use Amount
1. Commercial Area Enhancement Program - $280,000
Status: Insufficient staffing has caused the delay of the Facade Program.
Due to adjustments and continued Departmental reorganization and
assessment, this Program will not be implemented in FY16.
2. Economic Development Initiative: $120,000
• The funds anticipated to be used to cover the representation of the
City and our business community at the annual ICSC convention
for cost of the booth space, rental and related supplies needed for
the event was not spent this year. It is anticipated that the City will
attend the ICSC Convention in 2016.
• Banners and pole signs were purchased for the Lynwood Farmer's
Market and equipment was rented to support the event.
• The gateway sign anticipated to be purchased and installed this
year is still under review and has not been completed. It is
anticipated to be designed, purchased and installed in the
upcoming fiscal year.
3. Surveillance Camera Maintenance - $35,000
Status: The billing for the maintenance was not submitted this period due
to contract negotiations. It is anticipated that these funds will be requested
and expended pursuant to the Agreement in FY16 at a reduced rate.
4. Street Sweeper Maintenance Contract: $30,000
Street sweeping is a needed service to maintain the cleanliness of our
business thoroughfares. The service has had a direct and positive effect
on the businesses of our City. The annual cost for this service as it applies
to Lynwood's business districts is approximately $30,000.
Unused funds:
The estimated fund carry over from FY 15 appropriated funds is $378,205,
including the project budgets listed above. The amounts stated in this report are
estimates and the costs may be more or less than indicated.
Fiscal Impact:
The annual PBID assessment is billed through the Business License System,
with annual renewals mailed out in December of each year. The proposed
expenditures for FY 15 are approximately $150,000 with carryover of
approximately $378,205 to cover costs associated with FY 16 fund
appropriations. The City's previous adopted PBID budget of $466,000 which was
based on the forecasted year -end balance and anticipated revenue will be
amended to reflect current funds based on actual year -end balance /carryover
and revenue, which is estimated to be approximately $537,705. It is estimated
that a PBID assessment equal to 50% of the annual Business License Fee will
result in sufficient revenue to cover the identified costs that are exclusively for the
benefit of the Parking and Business Improvement District as mandated by Ord.

LYNWOOD LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
2of8
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2015 -020, adopted by your Honorable Body on February 3,
2015, 1 have prepared the Engineer's Report.
ENGINEER'S REPORT
This Engineer's Report is required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (being
Division 15, Part 2, Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). The Report
contemplates the levying of an assessment to provide funds necessary to construct,
install, maintain and service sidewalks, streets, and water, flood control and drainage
systems and appurtenant facilities within the Lynwood Landscape Maintenance
Assessment District ( "District "). The assessment will be levied against those parcels of
land within said District benefiting from the improvements, as required by law.
Proper construction, installation, maintenance and servicing of median islands, retention
basins, street trees and other landscaped facilities provide an esthetically pleasing
environment, air purification and sound attenuation. Proper maintenance of such
landscaping also provides for the efficient operations of streets, sidewalks, water, flood
control and drainage systems throughout the City. It enhances the overall quality of life
and desirability of an area, thereby enhancing the value of each and every parcel in the
District.
Since the street trees and medians are evenly distributed along the public streets and
other landscaped facilities are evenly distributed throughout the District, all properties
within the District are located within a single zone. The front footage of each benefited
property is used as the base for distributing the overall costs in proportion to the
estimated benefits to be received by each assessable parcel from the improvements.

Taking into consideration the current economic constraints and resulting current fiscal
budgetary policies, a conservative projected estimate of the water, electrical energy,
operation and maintenance costs with respect to the District (including incidental
expenses) for the one -year period beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016, is
as follows:
Landscape Maintenance:
A. Personnel $ 907,200
B. Maintenance & Operations $ 257,510
C. Tree Maintenance $ 359,007
TOTAL COST $ 1,523,717
Capital Improvement Costs
There was a considerable backlog in capital improvement projects in the District. The
public interest and safety required that these projects be constructed on an expedited
basis. The cost of such capital improvements exceeded the amount that could be
conveniently raised in a single assessment.
Pursuant to Section 22662 (b) of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City of
Lynwood entered into an agreement whereby the District received an advance of
$2,467,850 from the City of Lynwood for deposit to the improvement fund. Such
advance is to be repaid to the City through the levy and collection of annual
assessments for these improvements over a period of twenty (20) years commencing
with fiscal year 1992 -93, and is proposed to continue until the loan is paid. With the
2003 bond refinancing, the annual installment is $238,450. Commencing FY 2015 -2016
this installment will no longer apply. A list of the previously approved projects and their
status is attached to this report as Exhibit "B ".

adjusted since F.Y. 1998 -1999, at which time the rates were decreased from $1.97 FF to
$1.90 FF for both residential and commercial.
Energy cost and maintenance costs have increased over the last 20 -years and yet the
assessment rates have remained the same. As such, the Landscape Maintenance
Assessment District no longer collects sufficient funds to adequately fund its operations.
Over the last several years the General Fund has subsidized the Landscape Maintenance
Assessment District's operations; the General Fund can no longer afford to subsidize the
District. As such, it is recommended that the City Council consider implementing a plan to
increase the assessment rates. The Proposition 218 process would need to start this FY
2015 -2016, so that fee adjustments can be considered for implementation starting in FY
2016 -2017.
At this time it is also recommended that District rates remain the same for FY 2015 -2016.

THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
CITY HALL, LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA
LYNWOOD LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2015 -021, adopted by your Honorable Body on February
3, 2015, 1 have prepared the Engineer's Report.
ENGINEER'S REPORT
This Engineer's Report is required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972
(Division 15, Part 2, Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). The
Engineer's Report contemplates the levying of an assessment to provide funds
necessary to construct, install, maintain and service public lighting facilities and
appurtenant facilities within the Lynwood Lighting Assessment District (the "District ").
The assessment will be levied against those parcels of land within said District
benefiting from the improvements, as required by law.
Proper construction, installation, maintenance and servicing of the street lighting
facilities within the District benefit all assessable properties within the District by
providing proper illumination for ingress and egress and safe traveling at night to and
from such properties. It also improves protection of such properties from crime and
vandalism. The foregoing also enhances property values.
Since the lighting facilities are located along the public streets, the front footage of
each benefited property along such streets is used as the base for distributing the
CITY OF LYNWOOD .tune 16, 2015
LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT

. >a 3 of 8
overall costs of the improvements in proportion to the estimated benefits to be
received by each assessable parcel.
The different assessments for commercial and residential properties are based on
different lumen and other design requirements along major arterial and residential
streets.
THE ENGINEER'S REPORT
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, it is required that an Engineer's
Report be prepared and filed with the City Clerk, who in turn presents it to the City
Council for its consideration.
This Engineer's Report consists of the following:
1. PLAN NO. 2015 -A AND SPECIFICATIONS:
The plans and specifications for the improvements within the District are on file with
the City Engineer and incorporated herein by reference. Plan No. 2015 -A shows the
approximate location, nature and extent of the street lighting system of the District.
Existing and previously proposed improvements for fiscal year 2015 -16 include, but
are not limited to, the following: electrical energy; repair and replacement of street
light standards and fixtures; labor; materials; equipment; miscellaneous improvements;
overhead and incidental work and construction of capital improvement projects as
required.
A diagram of the District, showing the exterior boundaries of the District, is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference. Reference is made to the
Los Angeles County Assessor's Maps for fiscal year 2013 -14 for a detailed description
of the lines and dimensions of any lots or parcels within the District.

In 1993, the City of Lynwood entered into an agreement with the Lynwood Lighting
Assessment District pursuant to Section 22662 (b) of the Landscaping and Lighting
Act of 1972 whereby the District received an advance of $2,560,703 from the City of
Lynwood for deposit to the Capital Improvement Fund and agreed to repay the City E
l through the levy and collection of annual assessments for those improvements over a

6. ALTERNATIVES TO FUND THE DISTRICT:
7of8
Assessments for the Lynwood Lighting Assessment District have not been adjusted since
F.Y. 1992 -1993, at which time the rates were decreased from $1.74 FF to $1.62 FF for
residential and from $3.24 FF to $3.01 FF for commercial.
AT this time the Lighting Assessment District is projected to have a surplus of $219,885
at the end of F.Y. 2015 -2016.
The operations include energy costs, maintenance costs; additional lighting needs as well
lighting projects to comply with State mandated AB32. These items will increase the
Districts operational costs. At one point in the near future the City will need to consider
increasing the assessment rates through the Proposition 218 process.
At this time is it is recommended that District rates remain the same for FY 2015 -2016.
7. ASSESSMENT ROLL:
In compliance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, copies of the County
Assessor's Map and the County Tax Collector's tax rolls were used in this Engineer's
Report. The assessment roll, for each parcel of land therein, shows the legal description,
the County Assessor's code numbers, the assessable front footage used in calculating
the assessment against each individual parcel and the total net assessment levied
against the parcel. All assessable parcels of land in said District were included in one of
the two zones of benefit as set forth herein above. The assessment rolls are on file in the

you have a recommendation to eliminate the position of Deputy City Clerk. This

Deputy City Clerk is an essential and crucial part of the City Clerk's Office as they
represent the City in the absence of the City Clerk. I do, however, recommend and
highly encourage that you do the right thing and maintain this position, properly upgrade
it and fill it at this present time. Cost savings has already been realized by the vacancy.
To eliminate the position of Deputy City Clerk is not only an injustice, but a disrespect
and insult to the City Clerk and the Lynwood Community. Please keep in mind that the
government code and Lynwood Municipal Code allows the position of the Deputy City
Clerk."

NEW /OLD BUSINESS
Item #23. FY 2015 -16 BUDGET WORKSHOP
Finance Director Amanda Hall provided a presentation on the FY 2015 -16 budget.
Council Member Alatorre stated for the record, "it is mentioned, the vacant positions and
also the bargaining, what bargaining unit they belong to, I guess it's just the color, and I
overlooked it because it was screened, I was looking at the screen and it we'll make a
reference to the number so the actual diagram, I missed the little numbers provided,
thank you."
Council Member Hernandez stated, "I just want to be sure that it's on the record too,
what I will and will not support and I will go down the list on page number 13, 1 think that
the easiest way. Last year, and I just want to remind this, I voted no on the budget, the
budget was voted last year 4 -1. 1 voted no because what I saw, it was a reorganization
and not a budget, and what I see today again is a reorganization of all the departments.
We're not really budgeting and trying to find out where the money is. So, if I go down
the list, I think we need to go away with the whole trying to go from part time to full time
with the City Treasurer, just for the fact now that they're trying to put someone from
Finance, and that would totally eliminate the whole integrity of that department; so,
definitely will not go for that. The Development Service, there is one employee there,
but there are two contracted employees also in that office, so why are we eliminating
our employee and protecting those two contracted employees so, that's something I'm
not happy with it. Here we go again, we're going to eliminate three positions in
business license, but then we're going to add two in code enforcement, and two on
parking enforcement, so how do the numbers go, you're eliminating three and then you
hire four. Bumping rights, the bumping rights to me is one of those crazy things
because we all work in the public sector and we're private not in the government sector
and one of the things that we say is, well if you want it, if you want to take your check
home, work whatever it is, hey let's be honest, they tell me, you know, I'm a bank
manager and they tell me, well I'm going to put you in assistant manager if you like it
fine, if not. I'll be like no, because this is what I applied and this is what I've been doing
and we just move people like, well, and then somebody else gets hurt and then here we
go, the domino effect. So, I think we need to stop that too and definitely I think
everybody already mentioned this, this is a position that I barely saw this Thursday
when the agenda came out, it's the Assistant to the City Manager. I think we're that's
another 100 and ten thousand dollars, so we're going to eliminate some positions, but
then we're going to make one hundred and ten plus benefits, close to one hundred
seventy thousand, so where's the budget? Is this a budget issue or a reorganization,
what is it? Let's be clear on this, so that's, I want to make clear, that that's what I'm
saying and I'm saying it here, and that's where I stay, thank you."

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: J. Arnoldo Beltran, City Manager G
PREPARED BY: William Stracker, Director of Public Works /City Engineerzip",
Lorry Hempe, Public Works Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Plans and Specifications for Yvonne Burke -John
D. Ham Park Community Center and Authorization to Issue a
Request for Bid for the Construction of the Community Center
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled, "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
APPROVING THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF THE YVONNE BURKE -JOHN D. HAM PARK COMMUNITY CENTER
PENDING THE PERMIT APPROVAL OF THE SOLAR PANELS AND
AUTHORIZING STAFF TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR BID FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER."
Background:
On November 18, 2014, the City Council authorized staff to submit plans for the
Yvonne Burke -John D. Ham Park Community Center (Project) for plan check.
The Community Center is a sustainably designed 8,600 square -foot building
which includes a reception area, public restrooms, storage area, equipment
room, central game room, three multi - purpose rooms, kitchen, staff offices,
concession area and a security office.
On May 26, 2015, the City Council authorized the modification to the plans to
include solar panels and to accommodate a LEED Silver certification.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the plans and specifications for
the Project pending the permit approval of the solar panels that were recently
added and authorize staff to issue a Request for Bid.
AGENDA
ITEM
Discussion & Analysis:
On January 21, 2014, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with the revised
Phase 2 of the Ham Park Replacement Project and directed staff to bring back
the solar energy aspect for City Council's consideration. On May 26, 2015, the
City Council authorized staff to add the solar panels in the plans and modify the
plans to obtain a LEED Silver certification.
LPA Inc. completed the plans and specifications for the construction of the
Community Center. Since the solar panels were added recently, staff
recommends that the City Council approve the plans and specifications pending
the permit approval for the solar panels. This will allow staff to expedite the project
to meet the deadline set by the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open
Space District Grant to complete the project by December 31, 2016 for the use of
the $250,000 grant.
According to LPA, we can proceed to issue a Request for Bid on the construction
of the Community Center at the same time that we are processing the permit for
the solar panel.

SUBJECT: Appropriation for the Street Lighting Fund to Cover Utility Bills
Through the End of the Fiscal Year.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO APPROPRIATE AND TRANSFER $32,000
OF GENERAL FUNDS TO THE STREET LIGHTING ACCOUNT NO.
2651.45.425.65001 ".
Background:
The Street Lighting Fund pays for utility invoices for the lighting of our streets and parks.
Due to an increase in service fees, additional funding is needed to cover utility bills
through the end of the fiscal year.
Discussion & Analysis:
Throughout the current fiscal year, Southern California Edison (SCE) has had several
rate increases, most notably, the "time of use" increases. Due to these increases, the
Public Works Department is in need of additional funding to pay outstanding invoices for
the month of June 2015.
Fiscal Impact:
The Street Lighting account currently has a negative balance of $8,196.17 in fees that it
has encumbered. It is estimated by the Finance Department that the account would
need an additional $32,000 to cover the negative balance and all other outstanding bills
that have yet to be paid.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 7, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council as
Successor Agency to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency
APPROVED BY: J. Arnoldo Beltran, City Manager /Executive Director
PREPARED BY: Bruno Naulls, Project Manage
SUBJECT: Approval of a 3`d Amendment of Agreement to Continue
Providing Consulting Services Regarding Project - Related
Soil Contamination for the Lynwood Successor Agency
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Agency and City adopt the attached resolution
entitled: "A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AND CITY OF
LYNWOOD AS SUCCESSOR TO THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY APPROVING THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT
WITH COX, CASTLE, NICHOLSON, LLP FOR CONSULTING SERVICES
REGARDING PROJECTS RELATED TO SOIL CONTAMINATION NOT TO
EXCEED $400,000."
Background:
The former Lynwood Redevelopment Agency ( "Agency ") engaged in
environmental clean -up activities necessary to carry out and implement the
Redevelopment Plan for Project Area "A and in implementing such
Redevelopment Plan and the Implementation Plan, the Successor Agency to the
former Redevelopment Agency (Agency) is desirous of continuing using the
services of Cox, Castle & Nicholson, LLP ( "CCN ") to work with Agency Staff and
Agency Counsel in compelling responsible parties in the proposed Imperial
Highway Brownfield Area and other projects to remediate contaminated
properties.
On December 21, 2010, Consultant was approved by way of a service retainer
agreement to provide certain consulting and litigation services, as needed, to the
former Lynwood Redevelopment Agency on projects with soil, ground water and /or
soil gas contamination. The retainer agreement was replaced with a Consulting
Services Agreement (the "Agreement ") by and between the former Lynwood
AGENDA
CiEM
/7
Redevelopment Agency and Consultant, which Agreement was dated December 5,
2011.
The Agreement contained a scheduled expiration on March 5, 2013, but also
authorized extensions per Section 2 of the Agreement and was intended to be
extended so that Consultant could continue to litigate and provide related
services that were ongoing before ABX1 26 became law. Consultant has
continued to provide litigation and related services to the Successor Agency, and
the Parties therefore executed an Amendment to the Agreement dated
November 25, 2013, which extended the term of the Agreement (to December 5,
2014). A second amendment was approved which extended the term of the
Agreement to June 30, 2015 and now requires an Amendment extension.
Discussion $ Analysis:
The Agency has determined that Consultant's services are still needed in order
to effectively address ongoing potential litigation issues regarding responsible
parties for contamination at the Alameda Triangle site; legal aspects of
implementing the settlement orders at the Lynwood Springs site, and fulfill the
Successor Agency's obligations under the Dissolution Act. The Successor
Agency's Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) 15 -16A (for the
period July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015) provides budgetary resources
that can be utilized for the Consultant's ongoing work assisting the Successor
Agency and anticipated legal issues through June 30, 2014 provided the DOF
approves the use of RPTTF funds during the ROPS 15 -16B period (January1,
2016- June 30, 2016). This third Amendment to the Agreement is appropriate to

Amendment:
In consideration of performance by the parties of the covenants and conditions of
said Agreement, the parties hereto agree to amend agreement as follows:
1. Term. Section 2 of the Agreement, entitled "Term of Agreement" shall be
amended in its entirety and shall read as follows:
12. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on
December 5, 2011 (the "Commencement Date ") and terminate on June 30,
2016 (the "Termination Date "), unless sooner terminated pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement. On or before thirty (30) days prior to the
Termination Date, Consultant and Agency shall meet to discuss this
Agreement and its possible extension and or modification. In the event the
Parties do not enter into a new agreement prior to the Termination Date, this
Agreement shall continue on a month -to -month basis under the same terms
for a period not to exceed three (3) months following the Termination Date
2
with the sum invoiced during the three months following the Termination
Date not to exceed $15,000. If the Parties execute no new agreement by
the end of the three -month period following the Termination Date, this
Agreement shall terminate at the end of such three -month period."
2. Compensation. The Parties agree that Section 3.13 of the
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following (with
all other provisions of Section 3 remaining unmodified and in full force
and effect):
B. Total payments to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement shall
not exceed (i) those amounts agreed to by the Parties in
subsequent amendments to this Agreement for the time period
between December 5, 2011, and June 30, 2015; and (ii) FOUR

services and payment. Staff recommends the contract time period extend from
January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2016 to cover the services outlined in the Scope of
Services attached to the Agreement provided with this report and any
outstanding invoices from the prior period of the second amended contract (if
any).

lease agreements entered into by individual departments to lower costs and
minimize downtime while obtaining high quality copies and service. The
consolidation reduced printing costs from approximately $75,000 per year to
$44,000 per year. F
Lease agreements for four of the six copiers expired in March 2015 and the
remaining two will expire in June 2016.
Discussion & Analysis:
A five member selection committee was formed to review the proposals, contact
vendor references, evaluate hardware, and rate vendors using a scoring sheet.
After careful evaluation of the written proposals, contacting vendor references,
weeding out the highest priced solutions, and research of the equipment, the
committee scored American Business Machines with the highest ratings.
Staff will enter into a new five year lease agreement for five new multi- function
printers, which includes a new lease for a printer at the Public Works Yard, and
the two remaining multi- function printers when the lease expires in June 2016 to
meet the City's high volume copying and printing needs. The goal is to lower
costs, more efficiently manage the machines, and minimize downtime while
obtaining high quality copies, prints, and service.

Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost to operate leased copiers /printers for all departments with the
existing contracts is approximately $44,000 per year and is dependent on the
number of copies printed per month.
The estimated cost with the new contract with 7 machines based on the same
number of average prints per month will be approximately $34,000 per year with
taxes, saving the City $50,000 over five years.

SUBJECT: Vendor Recommendation for a Wireless Point -to -Point
Ethernet Bridge/Wireless Backhaul Network Connection to
Replace Existing Data Connections from City Hall to the
Public Works Yard
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and adopt the attached
resolution entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LYNWOOD AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OR DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO A
FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT WITH VETERANS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES,
INC. TO IMPLEMENT AND SERVICE A WIRELESS POINT -TO -POINT
ETHERNET BRIDGE/WIRELESS BACKHAUL NETWORK CONNECTION TO
REPLACE EXISTING DATA CONNECTIONS FROM CITY HALL TO THE
PUBLIC WORKS YARD."
Background:
On April 21, 2015 the City Council authorized the release of a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for a wireless point -to -point ethernet bridge /wireless backhaul to
replace existing data connections from City Hall to the Public Works Yard. A
total of three proposals were received by the City Clerk's office.
The data link to the Public Works Yard is currently provided by AT &T and
provides staff with connectivity to City Hall data files, water Telemetry system,
email, internet, and IP telephone services. The current service through AT &T
provides bonded Transmission System 1 (T -1) data links for a total throughput of
3 mega -bits per second (Mbps).
The purpose of this RFP is to increase the bandwidth for data traffic to the Public
Works Yard from 3Mbps to at least 150Mbps using wireless radio transmission

devices or similar to connect City Hall to the Public Works Yard to improve data
communications with vital water equipment and to replace the slower existing
data connection through the telephone company.
In January 2011, staff released a RFP for a point -to -point wireless Ethernet
bridge but did not follow through with the project due to a limitation of funds.
Wireless technologies have improved and prices have come down significantly
since that time.
Discussion & Analysis:
A five member selection committee was formed to review the proposals, contact
vendor references, evaluate hardware, and rate vendors using a scoring sheet.
After careful evaluation of the written proposals, contacting vendor references,
and research of the equipment, the committee scored Veterans Communication
Services, Inc. with the highest rating.
The increased bandwidth is needed to relieve data bottlenecks and greatly
improve data communications to manage the City's water Telemetry system,
which will soon be replaced by a newer Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
( SCADA) system to manage the all the water wells in the City, and the general
flow of data files from City Hall to the Public Works Yard.
The use of electronic data and the need for faster data connections and service
is continually growing. The following reasons highlight the need to implement a
wireless point -to -point backbone to the Yard:
• Improved access and management of the City's water Telemetry system
and future SCADA system.
• The Public Works Yard houses engineers, water maintenance staff, and
facility maintenance staff that need to transmit large electronic files and
emails on a daily basis.
• The current data connections through the telephone company are slow
and create a bottleneck that cannot handle the business needs of the City.
• The costs for point -to -point wireless devices have come down significantly
in price over the past several years.
• Voice over IP will be much smoother with the increased bandwidth.
• The City can get 20 times the bandwidth of the telephone company and
see returns on its investment (ROI) in around 3 years.
Successful implementation of a wireless point -to -point connection is dependent
on the use of St. Francis Medical Center's rooftop to establish a data link
between City Hall and the Public Works Yard. Staff is currently working with the
St. Francis communications team to secure a contract to use the rooftop. The
completion date is yet to be determined.

Staff recommends that the City Council consider the attached resolution entitled: "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING
THE DESIGN CONCEPT OF THE CIVIC CENTER PUBLIC PARK IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION"
Background:
In 2008, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the
City a grant in the amount of $147,000 to build public parks throughout the City.
Four new pocket parks were constructed. The construction started in November
2011 and was completed in April of 2012. The project was accepted by the City
Council on April 17, 2012. Approximately $47,000 remains in the HUD grant.
Discussion & Analysis:
The City is currently proposing to build a new 2,500 to 3,000 square foot public park
fronting the Bateman Hall building just east of the new Civic Center along Harriet
Tubman Way. FA
The small park will consist of decomposed granite walkways, seating areas, trellis,
landscaping with drought tolerant plants, and other amenities.
Public Works Department is using internal staff for the design of the public park to
extend the construction amenities within the park. Also HUD staff has concurred with
the use of the funds for this purpose.
The remaining $47,000 of HUD funds must be withdrawn prior to its expiration date of
September 30, 2015.
Fiscal Impact:
The City will use the $47,000 remaining in HUD funds to finance the construction of
the park.

SUBJECT: Installation and Extension of Reclaimed Water Line to Lynwood
Linear Park on an urgency basis
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING
THE INSTALLATION AND EXTENSION OF THE RECLAIMED WATER LINE ON AN
URGENCY BASIS FROM YVONNE BURKE HAM PARK TO LYNWOOD LINEAR
PARK AND DELEGATING THE AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER BY FOUR -
FIFTHS VOTE TO ORDER THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RECLAIMED WATER
LINE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 22050 ".
Background:
On June 15, 2012, the City of Lynwood received a grant award in the amount of
$4,949,957 as part of the State of California's (State) Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking
Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act
of 2006. The grant award funds the design and construction of the Lynwood Linear
Park project. As part of the grant, the City is required to irrigate the park using reclaimed
or recycled water and not domestic water.
Discussion & Analysis:
The recycled water line will serve Lynwood Linear Park and will reduce the consumption
of domestic water by 25 Acre Foot of water per year. The recycled water line would
extend from Yvonne Burke Ham Park to Lynwood Linear Park which is approximately
1,400 feet. As such, staff has approached the contractor who is currently constructing
the park and requested a proposal to install the recycled water line. However, the
23
contractor requested a large sum of money for the installation (48 percent above
standard cost).
Staff has developed its own construction estimate for the project as has the firm
performing the Construction Management for the park project. Both estimates were
very similar in cost being in the range of $250,000.
Due to time constraint and that the completion of the park is fast approaching, (August
30, 2015), it is not feasible to prepare plans and specifications and solicit bids for
construction of the water line prior to the completion of the park and therefore, it is
imperative that the water line be installed prior to the completion of the park due to
vegetation and landscaping needs. Based on these facts, the emergency will not permit
a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that the action is necessary
to respond to the emergency.
Pursuant to section 22050 of the Public Contract Code, the governing body, by a four -
fifths vote may delegate the authority, by resolution, to the City Manager to order the
completion of the water line project. It is anticipated that the construction cost obtained
would be within the range of $250,000.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for the construction of the recycled water line is available in sewer and water
fund.

SUBJECT: Gateway Cities Regional Recycled Water System Expansion
Project; Phase I
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING
THE CONCEPT THAT THE CITIES OF BELL GARDENS, LYNWOOD, AND SOUTH
GATE (THE CITIES) ARE PARTNERING WITH THE CENTRAL BASIN MUNICIPAL
WATER DISTRICT TO UNDERTAKE A CEQA ANALYSIS AND DEVELOP PLANS,
SPECIFICATIONS, AND ESTIMATES OF COST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF
RECYCLED WATER PIPELINES TO EXTEND THE CENTRAL BASIN RECYCLED
WATER SYSTEM ".
Background:
The Cities of Bell Gardens, Lynwood, and South Gate (The Cities) are partnering with
the Central Basin Municipal Water District to undertake a CEQA analysis and develop
Plans, Specifications and Estimates of cost for the construction of recycled water
pipelines to extend the Central Basin Recycled Water System. The Cities intend to
pursue increased opportunities to reduce their use of and dependence on potable water
to better provide a reliable water supply for their communities and vibrant green park
space to serve the recreation and health needs of their residents. The project involves
the planning and design of recycled water pipelines to extend a recycled water system
to serve some of the Cities' larger parks, schools, and public rights of way. The Cities
recognize that if they do not take action to move forward with developing facilities that
serve recycled water they may be looking at some very unattractive parks and open
space. In summary the project will:
70!5
a. Expand a regional water system to serve three Disadvantaged Communities with
an aggregate population of over 200,000 residents.
b. Provide a total of 433 AF of recycled water to irrigate City parks, public
landscape areas and schools
c. Reduce the Cities' and region's need for imported water
d. Provide planning and design documents for the Cities to secure future
project funding through internally generated financing and /or procure grants for
construction
The Cities of Bell Gardens, Lynwood and South Gate are located in the Central Basin
hydrologic watershed. The Central Basin covers an area of over 220 square miles with
a population of two million plus residents. Approximately seventy (70 %) percent of the
water supply is obtained locally and approximately thirty (30 %) percent is made up of
imported water. With the continued growth of the region and a fixed or reduced supply
of available water, a readily available recycled water is an excellent substitute for
potable water where the water is not being used for human consumption.
The Cities have all built parks and invested in park landscape that included extensive
irrigation systems. Over time these communities have experienced significant
population growth, yet additional parks have not been added to meet the population
growth. As a result, the limited number of parks have become an even more important
amenity to the community. City parks are vibrant because they are green. Irrigation
becomes ever more difficult in a region that has always been arid, but is now also
suffering a long -term drought. Providing recycled water for irrigating the parks
preserves an important City asset and ensures that its citizens will have the benefit of a
green space that provides health and physical benefits, psychological benefits,
improves air quality, and enhances the general quality of life for all sharing the park's
environment.
Discussion & Analysis:
To obtain the benefits anticipated, the project proponents will need first to design the
recycled water pipelines with all ancillary facilities to extend existing recycled water
system to City parks and other uses. Once the plans and specifications, as well as all
environmental work are completed, the project proponents will have to budget for, and
construct the recycled water lines.
This project will reduce the use of potable water thereby allowing the Cities to partially
offset their demands on the regional drinking water supply and meet the goals of the
Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan, the local Urban Water
Management Plan, and the State's Water Plan.
PJ
This project will promote the use of recycled water — an on -going goal of the Cities, the
region and the State. By having recycled water available to irrigate the parks and other
public facilities, the Cities will also improve their overall operating efficiencies and meet
their responsibilities to reduce water consumption consistent with the State's Drought
Requirements.
The recycled water line will serve Lynwood Linear Park, Lynwood Park and City Hall,
thereby reducing the consumption of domestic water by 200 Acre Foot of water per
year.
The recycled water line would extend along Fernwood Avenue to Bullis Road and up to
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard where it connects to the Lynwood Park water line. The
length of the recycled water line is approximately 6,520 feet.
This request seeks to obtain funds for the Cities of Bell Gardens, Lynwood, and South
Gate to prepare environmental documents and plans and specifications for the
construction of recycled water lines. The Cities intend to procure construction funds
once the final plans, specifications and cost estimates are complete. It is the intent of
the Cities to work together to complete the construction of the recycled water pipelines
as one project.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact for this report.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AUTHORIZING
THE ADOPTION OF THE GREATER LOS ANGELES INTEGRATED REGIONAL
WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE 2014 FOR THE 2015 FINAL ROUND OF
PROPOSITION 84 IRWM GRANT PROGRAM ".
Background:
Earlier this year, the Greater Los Angeles Integrated Regional Water Management
(GWMA) Board of Directors approved joining the Greater Los Angeles Integrated
Regional Water Management (LA IRWM) process for the final round of funding from
Prop 84 IRWM. The approval included full participation at the sub - regional level and at
the Leadership Committee level. Additionally, it was the intent for GWMA to provide
coordination and leadership on behalf of its members and stakeholders in soliciting,
preparing and administering proposed and awarded projects.
Prop 84 Grant is used for Planning and Design and for the extension of the recycled
water system to serve various parks and other facilities in the Cities of Lynwood, Bell
Gardens, and South Gate.
Discussion & Analysis:
As part of Prop 84 Grant, Cities are required, through Council Resolution to adopt the
Greater LA County IRWM Plan and AB 1420 self- certification forms, Water Metering
Compliance Certification, and confirmation that the 2010 Urban Water Management
Plan (UWMP) has been approved by the Department of Water Resources (DWR). AGENDA
ITEM
Z(r
Staff is currently working with the DWR on finalizing the 2010 UWMP.
As part of GWMA's role in the Greater LA IRWM grant process, DWR requires that
project proponents adopt the Greater LA IRWM Plan. Since GWMA will apply on behalf
of the solicited projects as the project proponent, it is necessary to adopt the Greater LA
IRWM Plan. Additionally, any selected projects must have their respective governing
boards also adopt the Greater LA IRWM Plan as quickly as possible.
The complete Greater LA IRWM Plan is available at www. ladpw.org /wmd /irwmp. It is a
lengthy document which provides goals and objectives for the entire region as well as
its 5 sub - regions including the Lower LA and Lower San Gabriel Rivers sub - region.
Because of its length, staff has not included the Plan or its components with this report.
It is the intent that if GWMA continues its relationship with Greater LA, future Greater LA
County IRWM Plan updates will incorporate the GWMA IRWM Plan for the Lower LA
and Lower San Gabriel Rivers sub - region section.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact for the adoption of the GLAC IRWM Plan.

Building & Safety, and Code Enforcement as well as the LA County Sheriff and Fire
Departments to ensure compliance with the City and State requirements. This division is
also responsible for the issuance of permits for special events such as carnivals,
rummage sales, yard sales, firework stands, Christmas tree sales, and -the annual
Christmas Parade vendors.
The Business License Division consists of 3 full -time Business License Specialists.
The Business License Specialists utilize HdL's Prime software to manage the overall
business license process (initial applications and renewals).
Business License Revenues
Per Lynwood Municipal Code Chapter 4, Section 7.3, Business License fees are due as
follows (based on business type as established by Ordinance 1041):
• Annual License: Due on January 1 of each year; delinquent on February 15.

In efforts to (1) improve the overall efficiency of the Business License Division operations;
(2) increase revenues, specifically for Business License Fines; and (3) focus staff efforts
on code enforcement activities; staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City
Manager to negotiate a contract with HdL for Operations Management Services. As
stated above, HdL is the current provider of the City's business license processing
system. HdL is familiar with the City's business license operations and City staff has been
trained to utilize HdL's software.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost for HdL to provide business license services is estimated at $43,329.
Currently, the City pays approximately $6,200 for HdL's business license software. If
Council approves a contract with HdL for operations management services, the business
license software use fee will be waived. Taking into account the waiving of the use fee,
the cost differential between the two proposals is minimal.
As part of the FY 16 Budget, staff will be recommending the elimination of the Business
License Specialist positions and the addition of 2 Code Enforcement Officer positions. All
business license notices will be generated using HdL's software and licenses will be paid
using online software. All business license related enforcement activities will be equally
shared among the City's Code Enforcement Officers.
Staff believes that all costs will be offset by additional revenues identified as a result of
increased code enforcement by City staff and discovery and audit services performed by
HdL.

Background:
FY 2015 -16 Budget Overview
On June 16, 2015, the City Council conducted a Budget Workshop to review the City
Manager Proposed FY 16 Budget and to provide staff with input. The Budget Workshop
focused on the General Fund. The FY 2015 -16 City Manager's Proposed General Fund
Budget included expenditures in the amount of $29.9 million offset by $27.5 million in
projected revenues and $2.4 million in reserves.
To reduce the projected deficit, staff recommended several actions, including the
approval of staffing /classification changes including layoffs, elimination of vacant
positions, addition of positions, and transfers; redirecting of the CDBG funding
allocation; and the transfer of unclaimed refundable deposits to the General Fund
miscellaneous revenue account. These actions will reduce the deficit by $1.2 million. It AGENDA
is important to note that the use of CDBG funding is limited to specific programmatic ITEM
needs that comply with HUD guidelines. It is therefore appropriate to anticipate a
significant reduction in the amount of CDBG funds that will be redirected.
In efforts to adopt a balanced budget, staff is recommending additional budget
changes /reductions including reducing the repairs /maintenance budget for the Bateman
Hall Renovation, reducing the General Fund cost allocation towards the Self- Insurance
Liability Insurance Administration budget, shifting of salaries and benefits from the
General Fund to the Water Fund for certain positions, reducing the operational budget,
eliminating certain vacant part-time positions, and the use of General Fund reserves.
On July 7, 2015, the City Council will open a public hearing, receive a presentation on
the proposed FY 2015 -16 (FY 16) Budget, accept public comments, close the public
hearing, and adopt the budget.
The FY 2015 -16 City Manager's Proposed General Fund Budget includes expenditures
in the amount of $27,854,754 offset by $27,477,567 million in projected revenues and
$377,187 in reserves.
The projected ending fund balance would be $2.86M, which is $121K below the City's
reserve policy.
For FY 16, the General Fund balance needed to meet the City's Reserve Policy is
$2.985 million, leaving no reserves available for use.
Ongoing Fiscal Issues and Challenges
Some of the City's ongoing fiscal challenges include the following:
• Stable Revenues — General Fund revenues (in the aggregate) have remained
flat and have not increased to cover projected expenditure growth. The City
continues to explore additional sources of revenue to meet expectations for
community services. The City's FY 16 Budget includes funding for increased use
of technology to improve the efficiency of overall operations and to increase
revenues. Revenue enhancement is important in regards to prudent long -term
financial planning and to avoid depleting General Fund reserves.
• Public Safety — Public Safety is the City's number one priority. The budget for
Public Safety is the largest General Fund expenditure at over 55% of the General
Fund budget (up from 51 % in 2012). The cost for providing Sheriff and Fire
services continues to climb annually. For FY 15, the cost increased by $471K
and is projected to increase by an additional $496K in FY 16 [2.69% for Fire and
2.5% for Sheriff (plus 2% increase for Liability)]. These increases are based on
rate increases and are not attributable to increases in service levels.
• CalPERS Employer Paid Contributions — CalPERS approved new actuarial
policies that are aimed at returning the System to fully- funded status within 30
years. These changes will be implemented in FY 16, and will be phased in over
five years resulting in increased employer contributions for the City. Additional
increases in employer contributions are expected due to changes in actuarial
2
assumptions (i.e. mortality rates) and the discount rate. The total increase for the
period between FY 16 and FY 20 is estimated at 10% to 11 %. Based on the
projected FY 16 CalPERS rate (27.244 %), the total PERS contribution rate for all
employees' retirement costs has increased by 42.5% from FY 09.
• Other Post - Employment Benefits Liability — The City must consider increasing
its $500,000 annual contribution (paid from the Self- Insurance Fund) to address
a projected cumulative liability of $19.3 million to fully fund lifetime medical,
dental, vision, and life insurance benefits for the City's retirees by 2021.
Claims /Litigation Costs — Litigation costs and claims paid out are major
expenses for the City and have impacted the budget the last several fiscal years.
Staff has fostered a more engaged and proactive relationship with the third party
administrator (TPA) and ICRMA to ensure that claims /cases are properly
evaluated and adequately reserved for a more protracted resolution. Currently,
the City does not fund or set aside reserves for claims (incurred or anticipated).
It has been the City's past practice to fund claims on an "as needed" basis to
bring about resolution and disposition of claims.
As a matter of best practice, reserves must incorporate the third party
administrator's assessment of the probable ultimate payout of the claim as the
claim /case progresses. Estimates are the result of evaluation by Counsel, TPA,
and ICRMA of all key areas of a claim.
The FY 16 Budget includes the adequate funding for settlement/disposition of all
current workers' compensation and liability claims.
• Reserves — The City should meet and when possible exceed the General Fund
Reserve Policy to meet unexpected emergencies and to stabilize operations.
Revenue Enhancements
Since FY 11, property and sales tax revenues have increased by a combined 4% (or
$409K). During that time, UUT revenues have decreased by 2% (or $114K). Revenue
increases in property and sales taxes have been offset by declining UUT revenues,
which have resulted in flat revenues. The lack of general growth in revenues has
deepened the use of the City's reserves to stabilize the City's operations. Since FY 10,
the General Fund Reserve Balance will have dropped from $7.7M to $2.9 (difference of
$4.8M and 62% decrease). Continued reliance on reserves is no longer an option.
In addition to flat revenue growth, unavoidable operational increases continue to
surpass Citywide budget reductions annually and deplete the City's reserves. Over the
last five (5) fiscal years, Public Safety contracts increased by an average of $582K per
year, while service levels remained the same. Since FY 10, the Public Safety Budget
will have increased by 18% (or $2.3 million). For FY 16, the City's Operational Budget
(including all recommended budget actions) will have decreased by 13% (or $1.6
million). CalPERS retirement costs and health premiums are also unavoidable costs
that continue to increase.
3
In order to contend with unavoidable operational increases, the City Council is now
considering a sales tax increase to support increased operations costs and avoid large -
scale cuts to vital services we provide to our community in future fiscal years. This is
the only real viable option to deal with projected deficits and still provide quality service
levels.
Without a new, guaranteed source of revenue for the General Fund, future cuts to
essential City services will be made.
Discussion & Analysis:
Procedural Issues Regarding Calling an Election to Ask the Voters to Approve A
Penny Ballot Measure
Revenue and Taxation Code § 7285.9 provides authority for a general transactions and
use tax. Such a tax would be imposed on retailers, and would be paid by the general
public. It would be collected by the State Board of Equalization from retailers and
remitted to the City.
To qualify as a general tax — requiring a majority vote —the taxes must be deposited into
the General Fund. These funds can be used for any service or activity paid for from the
General Fund, such as Public Safety, street repairs, park maintenance, and recreation
programs. There can be no commitment in advance as to how the monies will be spent,
other than for general municipal services.
The proposed tax to be submitted to the voters would be one percent (1.0 %) of the
value of the property taxed. The sales and use tax will expire after five (5) years. This
tax may be extended upon approval by a two - thirds majority vote of all the members of
the City Council and by a majority vote of the qualified voters of the City.
The proposed ordinance for the tax is attached to the resolution calling the election and,
if approved by the voters, would be adopted by the people. By adopting the resolution,
the City Council is also affirming that it approves the form of the ordinance and that it
should be submitted to the voters. The City Council does not need to waive the reading
of the ordinance and introduce or adopt it. The Council will affirm the voters' approval of
the ordinance by its declaration of the results of the election.
In terms of voting requirements, the law states that the ordinance. proposing the tax
must be approved by a two- thirds (2/3) vote of all members of the City Council. The tax
must be approved by a majority vote (50% + 1) of the qualified voters of the city voting
in an election on the issue.
Under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15060(c)(2) and
15378(b)(2) and (4), this tax does not constitute a project under CEQA and therefore
review under CEQA is not required.

Potential Revenue from Penny Ballot Measure
Based on an analysis prepared by MuniServices, the City's Property & Sales Tax
Consultant, the Penny Ballot Initiative could generate as much as $3.6 million in
additional revenue per year. This estimate is based on the City's current businesses.
This is a significant benefit to the City due to the fact that the capture rate is based on
Transactions & Use Tax sourcing rules: tax on product shipped on seller's vehicle (i.e.
refrigerator from Sears) is allocated to point of delivery only on applicable Transactions
& Use Taxes. For the Transaction & Use Tax only and for Auto Sales, the tax is
collected and allocated to the tax rate and location of the buyer.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost of a consolidated election is to be determined.
The proposed Penny Ballot Initiative could generate as much as $3.6 million in
additional revenue per year. This additional revenue could be used to eliminate the
structural deficit in the General Fund, build General Fund reserves, fund the annual LA
County Public Safety rate increases for Sheriff and Fire Suppression services, maintain
and improve infrastructure (City facilities and streets /roads), maintain bond ratings, and
increase bond capacity.

WHEREAS, o n June 16, 2015, the City Council conducted a Budget Workshop to
review the City Manager Proposed FY 16 Budget and to provide staff with input. The Budget
Workshop focused on the General Fund. The FY 2015 -16 City Manager's Proposed
General Fund Budget included expenditures in the amount of $29.9 million offset by $27.5
million in projected revenues and $2.4 million in reserves; and
WHEREAS, to reduce the projected deficit, staff recommended several actions,
including the approval of staffing /classification changes including layoffs, elimination of
vacant positions, addition of positions, and transfers; redirecting of the CDBG funding
allocation; and the transfer of unclaimed refundable deposits to the General Fund
miscellaneous revenue account. These actions will reduce the deficit by $1.2 million. It
is important to note that the use of CDBG funding is limited to specific programmatic
needs that comply with HUD guidelines. It is therefore appropriate to anticipate a
significant reduction in the amount of CDBG funds that will be redirected; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2015, the City Council will open a public hearing, receive a
presentation on the proposed FY 2015 -16 (FY 16) Budget, accept public comments, close
the public hearing, and adopt the budget; and
WHEREAS, in efforts to adopt a balanced budget, staff is recommending additional
budget changes /reductions including reducing the repairs /maintenance budget for the
Bateman Hall Renovation, reducing the General Fund cost allocation towards the Self -
Insurance Liability Insurance Administration budget, shifting of salaries and benefits from
the General Fund to the Water Fund for certain positions, reducing the operational budget,
eliminating certain vacant part-time positions, and the use of General Fund reserves; and
WHEREAS, the FY 2015 -16 City Manager's Proposed General Fund Budget
includes expenditures in the amount of $27,854,754 offset by $27,477,567 million in
projected revenues and $377,187 in reserves; and
WHEREAS, the FY 16 projected ending General Fund balance
is $2.86 million, which is $121K below the City's reserve policy,
leaving no additional reserves available for use; and
WHEREAS, overall revenues have remained flat, while unavoidable operational
increases continue to surpass Citywide budget reductions annually and deplete the City's
use of reserves. Over the last five (5) fiscal years, Public Safety contracts increased by an
1
average of $582K per year, while service levels remained the same. Since FY 10, the Public
Safety Budget will have increased by 18% (or $2.3 million); and
WHEREAS, since FY 10, the General Fund Reserve Balance will have dropped
from $7.7M to $2.9 (difference of $4.8M and 62% decrease); and
WHEREAS, to avoid drastic cuts to essential City services and for long -term financial
stability, a sales tax increase is needed; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Penny Ballot Initiative could generate as much as $3.6
million in additional revenue per year. This additional revenue could be used to eliminate
the structural deficit in the General Fund, build General Fund reserves, fund the annual
LA County Public Safety rate increases for Sheriff and Fire Suppression services, maintain
and improve infrastructure (City facilities and streets /roads), maintain bond ratings, and
increase bond capacity; and
WHEREAS, in order to contend with these unavoidable operational increases, the
City Council is now considering a sales tax increase to support increased operations costs
and avoid large -scale cuts to vital services we provide to our community in future fiscal
years. This is the only real viable option to deal with projected deficits and still provide
quality service levels. Without a new, guaranteed source of revenue for the General Fund,
future cuts to essential City services will be made; and
WHEREAS, when a city council seeks voter approval of a new tax, article XIIIC,
section 2(b) of the California Constitution requires the election to be consolidated with the
general municipal election for city councilmembers, except in cases in which a city council
has unanimously declared that there is an emergency; and
WHEREAS, the tax to be submitted to the voters, if approved, would be imposed on
retail transactions involving the use of personal property. The tax rate would be one percent
(1.0 %) of the value of the property taxed. The tax revenue would be collected by the State
Board of Equalization and remitted to the City. The tax would remain in effect, for five years
unless it is extended by the voters. The tax shall be approved if the measure receives at
least a majority of affirmative votes; and
WHEREAS, Election Code Sections 9219 and 9282 set forth the procedures for
arguments in favor of or in opposition of any City measure; and
WHEREAS, Elections Code Sections 9220 and 9285 set forth the procedures for
rebuttal arguments; and
WHEREAS, under CEQA Guidelines 15060(c)(2) and 15378(b)(2) and (4), this tax
does not constitute a project under CEQA and therefore review under CEQA is not required.
