J. REVIEW OF THE MOTORCYCLE TRAFFIC DEPUTY POSITION FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT CONTRACT WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT (LASD)
Under the City's law enforcement contract with LASD, there are two major
components that make up the Sheriff's Department's service: Basic and
Supplementary. During the preparation of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14 City
Budget, staff was asked to review the Sheriff Department's service levels for
effectiveness in addressing recent crime trends that were having a direct

negative effect on community's overall safety and qua l ity-of-l ife standards
(e.g ., burglaries, narcotics violations, probation/parole compliance, etc.).
Staff's assessment was that the funding of a third dedicated deputy (offset by
$100,000 Community Oriented Policing Services Grant) assigned to the
Temple City Special Assignment Team would give LASD more resources to
direct at addressing the increase in burglaries and narcotics violations
Citywide.
Public Safety and Services Manager Sahagun gave a brief summary of the
staff report and answered City Council questions.
Captain Nee, Temple Sheriff Station, answered City Council questions. He
spoke in support of continuing the motor unit but understands that the City
has limi ted resources.
Councilmember Vizcarra made a motion to discontinue funding of the
motorcycle traffic deputy position fo r the City's law enforcement contract with
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for the remainder of the FY
2013-14 (January 1, 2013 -J une 30, 2014) but for staff to re-evaluate this

G. APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT OF 5922
PRIMROSE AVENUE [APN: 8587-014-021] AND RATIFICATION OF THE
CITY MANAGER'S EXECUTION THEREOF
Over the past year as opportunities have arisen, staff has been diligent in
implementing recommendations of the Downtown Parking Strategic Plan.
Purchasing the Primrose property now, at a time when real estate prices are
relatively low, presents a viable and timely opportunity to provide for more
public parki ng in the near future. Furthermore, given the Primrose Property is
adjacent to a City owned building and parking lot, purchasing it could allow the
City to assemble the properties for a future public parking structure-a
recommendation identified in the Downtown Parking Strategic Plan.
The purchase of the property at 5922 Primrose Avenue is in the interest of the
City's economic development and in furtherance of the Downtown Parking
Strategic P lan. The City Council has approved in general the terms of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, but Council approval of the agreement in
open session is required for the agreement to become binding, and an
appropriation of funds for the purchase needs to be formally made by the
Council.
Councilmember Chavez made a motion to approve the form and terms of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) of 5922 Primrose Avenue [APN: 8587-
014 -021] and the terms thereof; ratified the City Manager's execution of the
PSA (Attachment "A") as being consistent with the direction given to the City
Manager by the City Council; and appropriated $1,250,000 from the City's
Economic Development Fund Reserve for the purchase of the property 5922
Primrose Avenue [APN: 8587-014-021]. Seconded by Councilmember
Vizcarra and unanimously carried.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RESERVE TO COMPLETE AN APPRAISAL
AND ALL ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT WORK FOR THE 5922
PRIMROSE AVENUE PROPERTY
The City is currently in escrow and in the process of completing the purchase
of the Primrose Property. "Best practice" cities perform environmental site
assessments (i.e., Phase I and Phase II if needed) as part of their due
diligence for property acquisitions. After completion of the Phase I ESA, Ninyo
& Moore notified the City that the Primrose Property was agricultural land for
ten years. Due to the use of the site from approximately 1928 through 1938

(and the building structures have been present on the site since 1942) Ninyo

Limited Phase II ESA.
Councilmember Chavez made a motion to approve a budget appropriation of
$26,175 from the City's Economic Development Fund Reserve to complete an
appraisal and all Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) work for the 5922
Primrose Avenue property (Primrose Property). Seconded by Councilmember
Vizcarra and unanimously carried.
K . FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DIGITAL BILLBOARD ADVERTISING AND
AMORTIZATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
AND TEMPLE CITY GATEWAY LLC
Two years ago, Council approved the Digital Billboard Advertising and
Amortization Agreement with an understanding that a subsequent
amendment be executed to forma lize cond itions of the City's advertising
slots, as well as to address any unforeseen circumstances. With the
billboard's recent "go-live" launch, the proposed amendment defines three
operative provisions for ease of use, greater clarification on certain terms and
reasonable limitations.
Council's approval of the requested amendment provides the City with clear
protocols in the programming of its provided advertising slots, as well as the
establishment of another communications tools for purposes of publicizing
community events and emergency notifications. This amendment also
proactively addresses future Rosemead Boulevard tree maintenance
concerns so as not to potentially obstruct billboard visibility, while promoting
local economic development by allowing Temple City businesses to
prominently advertise their goods and services at a significantly reduced
advertising rate.
City Attorney Vail gave a brief summary of the staff report.
Pierre Delorenzo, Temple C ity Gateway billboard owner, spoke in opposition
of approving the First Amendment to the agreement. He was not given
advance notice that this amendment was going to be considered by City
Council. He asked that City Council continue this item so that he and his
attorney can have a chance to review the proposed amendment.
Councilmember Yu made a motion to continue this item to the second City
Council meeting in January (i.e., January 21) to give Mr. Delorenzo an
opportunity to review staff recommendation. Seconded by Councilmember
Vizcarra and unanimously carried.

To make the local amendments to the 2014 Los Angeles County Codes
effective within the City of Temple City, the City Counc il must make a finding
that the proposed Los Ange les County amendments to the State Code are
based on climatic, topographic and/or geologic condit ions local to the City of
Temple City. Because the City of Temple City is located within the same
seismic design category as most of the County of Los Angeles and has the
same weather related issues, (chiefly h igh fire danger from late summer/early
fall Santa Ana winds), staff believes that all of the climatic, topographic and
geologic conditions identified by the County of Los Angeles are fully applicable
to and appropriate for the City of Temple City.
The City Council is requested to adopt Ordinance No. 13-985 adopting the Los
Angeles County Codes by reference with local amendments to ensure that
Temple City is meeting the most current building and safety standards.
Community Development Director Persico gave a brief summary of the staff
report.

("Residential Code") , Chapter 6 ("Green Building Standards Code"), and

Code, Title 27 -Electrical Code, Title 28 -Plumbing Code , Title 29 -
Mechanical Code, Title -30 Residential Code, Title 31 -Green Building
Standards) and adopting by reference the 2012 International Swimming Pool

approximately 92% of 438 respondents indicating support for local transit, and
85% indicating likelihood of using an available service for local travel. With a
clear desire for local transit in Temple City, the Council set aside funds the last
two fiscal years for the completion of a needs assessment study, as well as
possible implementation of a system . Over the past year, staff has worked with
Diversified Transportation Solutions (DTS) on the Study-including survey of
community demand , review of existing conditions (e .g., the current
transportation network, recommendations from existing studies, available
program resources, etc.), and identification of potential routes. DTS's proposed
four service plan alternatives, including one recommended . Each identifies
different routes that link expressed destinations of interest and existing transit

Master Plan, Downtown Parking Strategic Plan, and the City Wide Traffic
Calming Plan), moving forward, the Commission will be asked to provide City
Council recommendations for imp leme ntat ion of the various public safety
