He also reminded residents about the upcoming workshops on the City’s Housing Element and Environmental Justice Element scheduled for February 1 (English) and February 3 (Spanish) from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Lastly, City Manager Moreno stated that a public comment request to address Item 1 was received from Alfredo Banuelos; however, it was received at 5:10 p.m. and the City Council had already taken action on the item and moved on to Item 2. He asked the Mayor how she would like to handle the request. The Mayor asked staff to inform Mr. Banuelos that the public comment period for that item closed before public comment request was received.

To: Honorable City Council From: John Moreno, City Manager By: Heidi Luce, City Clerk Date: February 2, 2021

Subject: ORDINANCE NO. 1148 The City Council, at its adjourned meeting on January 12, 2021, introduced Ordinance No. 1148 and placed it on the February 2, 2021 agenda for adoption.

ORDINANCE NO. 1148 “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 178, THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE, APPROVING ZONE CHANGE NO. 230, CHANGING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT FROM C-3 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) TO PD-PS (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS)/ MIXED-USE COMMERCIAL AND SENIOR ASSISTED/INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY AT 16675-16689 PARAMOUNT BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT

Attached is the agenda report from the January 12, 2021 meeting. RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council read by title only, waive further reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1148.

To: Honorable City Council From: John Moreno, City Manager By: John Carver, Planning Manager Date: January 12, 2021

Subject: ORDINANCE NO. 1148/ZONE CHANGE NO. 230 16675-16683 PARAMOUNT BOULEVARD Background This item is a request by Nima Golshani to change the official Zoning Map from C-3 (General Commercial) to PD-PS (Planned Development with Performance Standards)/ Mixed-Use Commercial and Senior Assisted/Independent Living Facility at 16675-16683 Paramount Boulevard in the C-3 (General Commercial) zone. This item is associated with Resolution No. 21:003/General Plan Amendment No. 20-2, heard earlier this evening by the City Council. The Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council of this item at its December 8, 2020 meeting. Project Description The project consists of the construction of a three-story structure at the northwest corner of Paramount Boulevard and 70th Street. The building will contain two retail spaces and parking on the ground floor, residential units on the second and third floors, and a sun deck on the roof. The project area is made up of three parcels and has a total of 13,500 square feet of land. The southern parcel, measuring 14½ feet in width by 100 feet in length, is located in the City of Long Beach. The applicant will be working with the City of Long Beach for approval of that portion of the project. This dual-jurisdictional approval process is similar to a housing project from 2002 near the intersection of Hunsaker Avenue and 72nd Street, where three homes in the development have back yards in Long Beach. In that case, the City of Paramount was the “lead” agency for the entitlements and plan check. The project will contain seven units on the second and third floors, with a total of 12 units for assisted care, and two units for independent living. Four units on each floor will contain three bedrooms, with the remaining three units on each floor containing four bedrooms. The three bedroom units will contain two bathrooms, while the four bedroom units will contain three bathrooms. Each unit will have a shared kitchen and living room. The four bedroom units will range in size from 1,120 square feet to 1,155 square feet, while three bedroom units will contain approximately 1,000 square feet.

Agenda Report January 12, 2021 ORDINANCE NO. 1148/ZONE CHANGE NO. 230 Page 2

In addition to two retail suites on the ground floor, there will be a total of 27 parking spaces for employees and customers of the retail suites. One of the retail suites will contain 900 square feet, while the second suite will contain 1,100 square feet. The commercial spaces will most likely be occupied by tenants that will accommodate the needs of the residential occupants of the project, such as a hair salon or a pharmacy; however, a wide range of retail uses will be permitted in the PD-PS zoning regulations. In addition to the residential units, the second floor will contain an exercise room and an activity room. The third floor will contain a kitchen to prepare meals for residents and a dining room. Finally, the roof of the project will contain a sundeck for use by the residential occupants of the building. The facility will have a total of 48 employees, with an average of 15 people per shift. Employees will include:

1. Housekeepers 2. Caregivers 3. Medical technicians 4. Cooks 5. Managers 6. Nurses 7. Security

The minimum age to reside in the complex is 55. The City will be contributing $300,000 from the Low-to-Moderate Income Housing fund to help with the construction of the project. Given this contribution, two of the 14 units will be designated for low-to-moderate income residents. Summary The applicant is requesting a zone change that will allow for the development of a mixed-use project that will provide assisted and independent living units, with two retail suites. With an aging population that is living longer, there is a growing need for projects such as this proposal. The approval of the project will help to meet an existing market demand for assisted/independent living facilities for seniors. As the location is near amenities including the public library, the Civic Center gardens, and shopping opportunities such as Northgate Gonzalez Market, it is well suited for an older population with limited mobility. Finally, the proposed development will eliminate blight at the southern entrance into the City. Environmental Assessment The City Council reviewed a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project in connection with Resolution No. 21:003/General Plan Amendment No. 20-2.

RENEWAL OF PETROLEUM PIPELINE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH PACIFIC PIPELINE SYSTEM, LLC

Situated adjacent to a global economy of petroleum and natural gas ports, the City of Paramount sits atop a robust network underground pipelines that run throughout Southern California and are maintained and operated by various petroleum franchises. Most of the petroleum pipelines originate many miles outside of Paramount but run beneath our City as part of a complex network of pipeline carrying product destined for larger ports in Long Beach and Los Angeles. Pipelines that run within the State of California are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Federal and State law preempts the City from regulating the operation, design and construction of pipelines. However, the City is entitled to franchise fees paid for directly by the franchisees. Pipeline fees are set forth in CPUC Code Section 6231.5(3) and are based on the length and diameter of the pipeline, adjusted each year according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For over 40 years, the City of Paramount has maintained a Franchise Agreement with various petroleum service companies for the operation of gasoline pipeline No. 63. Line No. 63 runs about 5,700 feet in length under El Camino Avenue, Alondra Boulevard, San Jose Avenue, and Ansmith Avenue. This pipeline has changed ownership over the years and is now serviced by Pacific Pipeline System, LLC (Pacific Pipeline). The Franchise Agreement for Line No. 63 expired in May 2019, and Pacific Pipeline has requested to renew the pipeline franchise for an additional 20 years. Pacific Pipeline is presently current in all its franchise payments, which are paid annually. According to the fee structure established by the CPUC, the estimated fee for Pacific Pipeline in 2021 is approximately $3,800, and will increase according to the CPI in subsequent years. It benefits the City to enter into a Pipeline Franchise Agreement so that we maintain some control and understanding in how they are maintained. For example, some of the provisions that are included in Franchise Agreements are that the franchisee must provide the City with copies of all environmental reports they file with environmental agencies; immediately notify the City in the event of a spill or environmental or safety threat; and, remediate damage according to applicable environmental laws.

Agenda Report February 2, 2021 ORDINANCE 1143 – RENEWAL OF PIPELINE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Page 2

Franchisees are strictly liable for all damage caused in connection with the use or operation of a franchise, or by any pipeline or other facility failure. This strict liability language under the CPUC Code is expressly included in the Franchise Agreement. As laws, regulations, development patterns, safety practices and pipeline technology change, staff recommends renewing the Agreements with Pacific Pipeline. The City Council may enter into a Franchise Agreement by Ordinance, which requires a Public Hearing, and adoption at a subsequent meeting by the City Council. A Notice of Public Hearing for Ordinance No. 1143 was posted in the Paramount Journal on December 24, 2020 announcing a Public Hearing originally set for January 12, 2021, but was continued by the City Council this evening. RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council read by title only, waive further reading, introduce Ordinance No. 1143, and place it on the February 16, 2021 agenda for adoption. Attachment – Ordinance No. 1143

CITY OF PARAMOUNT LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

ORDINANCE NO. 1143

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT RENEWING THE PETROLEUM PIPELINE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH PACIFIC PIPELINE SYSTEMS, LLC

WHEREAS, Section 6202 of the California Public Utilities Code (CPUC), which was created in response to the Franchise Act of 1937, authorizes the legislative body of any municipality to grant a franchise to any person, firm, or corporation, whether operating under an existing franchise or not, to use, or to use, or to lay and use, pipes and appurtenances for transmitting and distributing gas or industrial gas for all purposes, or to use, or to lay and use, pipes and appurtenances for transmitting and distributing oil or products thereof for all purposes, under, along, across, or upon the public streets, ways, alleys, and places within the municipality, upon the terms and conditions provided in this chapter; and WHEREAS, Section 6231(c) provides that the municipality is entitled to a franchise fee for any such operation of a pipeline that runs within its boundaries, pursuant to fees established in Section 6231.5(a) of the CPUC; and WHEREAS, in 1999, the City Council for the City of Paramount (“City”) adopted Ordinance No.904 establishing such a franchise fee through a Pipeline Franchise Agreement with Atlantic Richfield Company to operate Line No. 63, later assigned to Pacific Pipeline System, LLC., which is codified in Section 4.16, Article V of the Paramount Municipal Code (“Municipal Code”); and WHEREAS, the Pipeline Franchise Agreement with Pacific Pipeline System, LLC. expired in May 2019; and WHEREAS, Pacific Pipeline System, LLC. has submitted a request to the City to renew its Pipeline Franchise Agreement for operation of Line No. 63. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Recitals set forth hereinabove are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby reauthorizes the Petroleum Pipeline Franchise Agreement with Pacific Pipeline System, LLC., as codified in Section 4.16, Article V of the Municipal Code, which shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:

ORDINANCE NO. 1143 February 16, 2021; Page 2

Article 5. Pacific Pipeline System, LLC.

4.16.470 Grant of franchise. The City hereby grants to Pacific Pipeline System, LLC., its successors and assigns, hereinafter referred to as “grantee” subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the right, franchise and privilege from time to time, for a period of twenty (20) years from and after the effective date of Ordinance No. 1143, to install, operate, maintain, replace, change the size of, abandon in place and/or remove pipelines for transportation of oil, gas, gasoline, petroleum, wet gas, hydrocarbon substances, water, waste water, mud stream or other substances transportable by pipeline together with all appurtenances and service connections necessary or convenient to properly maintain and operate said pipelines, including cathodic protection facilities for the grantee’s business, hereinafter collectively called “franchise property,” within the public streets, highways, alleys and other public ways or public property, hereinafter collectively called “streets,” of the City, as enumerated and described as follows: All that portion under El Camino Avenue, Alondra Boulevard, San Jose Avenue, and Ansmith Avenue. The total length of this pipeline is 5,700 linear feet.

4.16.480 Term of franchise. This franchise shall expire twenty (20) years from and after the effective date hereof unless sooner terminated, by ordinance, as herein provided. City reserves the right to terminate this franchise to its expiration date in the event:

A. Grantee fails to comply with any provisions hereof; provided, however, that if such failure of compliance shall be due to a cause beyond the reasonable control of grantee, the franchise shall not be so terminated. In the event grantee shall default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions herein and such default is curable, City shall give written notice to grantee to commence within ten days the work necessary to cure such default, and if grantee fails to comply with such notice, City may terminate this franchise.

B. The time within which grantee is obligated to commence, perform or complete any obligation hereunder shall be extended for a period of time equal in duration to, and the commencement, performance or completion in the meantime shall be excused on account of and for and during the period of, any delay caused by strikes, threats of strikes, lockouts, war, threats of war, insurrection, invasion, acts of God, calamities, violent action of the elements, fire, action or regulation or any governmental agency, law or ordinance, impossibility of obtaining materials, or other things beyond the reasonable control of grantee.

The City shall give the grantee thirty (30) days notice of any termination proceedings. 4.16.490 Compensation to City. As consideration for the franchise granted herein, the Grantee shall pay to the City the following fees:

A. Base annual fee: A base annual fee shall be paid within 60 days after the end of each calendar year and during the life of the franchise for each and every year, including the year of granting the franchise, according to the "franchise payment


period" as set forth in California Public Utilities Code Section 6231.5 (3), by multiplying the pipe length expressed in feet by the applicable base rate as follows:

Pipe Size (Internal)Diameter in inches Base Rate Per Lineal Foot

0-4 $0.088 6 0.132 8 0.176 10 0.220 12 0.264 14 0.308 16 0.352 18 0.396 20 0.440 22 0.484 24 0.528 26 0.572 28 0.616 30 0.660

For pipelines with an internal diameter not listed above, the fees shall be in the same proportion to the fees of a twelve (12) inch diameter pipe as the diameter of the unlisted pipe is to twelve (12) inches. The formula used in arriving at the annual fee shall apply to any existing, replacement, modification or extension of the pipeline.

B. Adjustments:

1. The amount of the fee provided for in subsection (a) of this Section, shall be adjusted at the time payment is due by multiplying the base fee by the “Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles - Anaheim - Riverside” area as published by the United States Department

of Labor, Office of Information for the month of September immediately preceding the month in which payment is due and payable, and divided by the “Consumer Price Index for June 30, 1989 = 100.0.”

2. In no event shall an annual fee be charged which is less than the base annual fee amount established by subsection (a) of this Section.

3. The indices specified in paragraph 1 of this subsection (b) are calculated and published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Bureau discontinues the calculation or publication of the “Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles - Anaheim - Riverside area for June 30, 1989 = 100.0,” and no transposition table is available to convert to another index, then the amount of each annual adjustment in base fees shall be computed by using a comparable governmental index.


C. Proration of payments: In the event of abandonment of facilities, or in the event of

removal of such facilities by the Grantee, or in the event of the grant of a franchise with an initial franchise payment period of less than one year, the annual franchise fee required under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 4 shall be prorated for the calendar year in which such removal or abandonment or grant occurs as of the end of the calendar month in which removed, abandoned or granted.

4.16.500 Construction. A. Location of franchise property. The location of any franchise property installed

hereunder shall be first approved by the Public Works Director.

B. Quality control. All franchise property installed and maintained hereunder shall be constructed in a good workmanlike manner and in conformity with all ordinances, rules or regulations now or hereafter adopted or prescribed by the City. All pipelines installed shall conform to applicable U.S.A. Standard Code for Pressure Piping, in its latest revision.

C. Street excavations. Grantee shall have the right to make all necessary excavations in the streets for the purposes granted in this franchise, but nothing herein contained shall relieve grantee from the provisions of any ordinance or law that may be in force at the time, requiring permits to be obtained for street excavations before such work is commenced.

All excavation shall be made and refilled in strict compliance with all City ordinances that may be in effect at the time of the performance of the work and shall be so made as not to interfere unreasonably with the free use of the streets by the public.

Upon completion of the work for which street excavations are made, all portions of the street which have been excavated or otherwise damaged by such excavation work shall be restored to as good condition as they were in before the commencement of such work, to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director.

D. Emergency work. The grantee shall promptly repair any leaks or breaks in pipelines and conduits. If any portion of any street shall be damaged by reason of breaks or leaks in any pipe or conduit constructed under this franchise, the grantee shall at its own expense take immediate steps to repair any such damage and restore such street to as good condition as it was before such a break or leak. The repair must be done to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director. Such emergency repair of franchise property may be commenced without prior permit provided that grantee shall notify the Public Works Director and the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Hazardous Materials Division as soon as a break or leak occurs. The grantee must still apply to the Public Works Director for a permit for emergency repair work no later than the next business day from the day the emergency occurred. The grantee shall promptly remove any contamination from streets and underground soil due to breaks and leaks of grantee’s pipelines or conduits. The removal of contamination must be performed to the satisfaction of the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Hazardous Materials Division. Nothing


in the franchise shall be deemed to waive or release any claim the grantee may

have against any third-party arising by reason of breaks or leaks in any pipe or conduit constructed under this franchise.

E. Changes required by public improvements. If the Public Works Director shall determine that it is reasonable and necessary that franchise property be temporarily disconnected, abandoned, temporarily or permanently removed, temporarily or permanently relocated or substitute facilities installed, in order that the City, when acting in a governmental capacity, may relocate, change grade, construct, use, maintain, change or modify any street improvement or City-owned utility facilities, said Public Works Director shall give notice, in writing, to the grantee. Within thirty (30) days after the service of such notice upon the grantee, the grantee shall at its sole cost and expense begin and diligently prosecute the necessary work to completion. Upon failure to do so, the Public Works Director may cause said work to be completed and the grantee shall immediately pay for the same upon presentation of an itemized account of the cost thereof.

In the event that any franchise property is required to be abandoned in or permanently removed from any street or portion thereof affected, the Public Works Director shall approve such additional street location or locations as may be necessary to permit the installation of substitute facilities.

F. Abandonment of franchise property. The public works director, upon such terms and conditions as he may determine, may give grantee permission to abandon, without removing, franchise property installed under the franchise. The length of any pipe line, abandoned with such permission, shall not be considered in calculating payments due under the franchise following the date the public works director or his designated representative has inspected and approved in writing the abandonment work. The ownership of all franchise property so abandoned shall thereafter vest in the City.

4.16.510 Guarantee and responsibility. A. Bond. This franchise is granted on the condition that the grantee shall at all times

during the life of this franchise keep on file with the City a Faithful Performance Bond running to the City in the sum of $5,000.00 executed by a reputable surety entitled to do business in the State of California. The said bond shall contain the conditions that the grantee shall well and truly observe, fulfill and perform each and every term and condition of this franchise, and that in case of any breach of any condition of said bond, the whole amount of the sum therein named shall be taken and deemed to be liquidated damages and shall be recoverable form the principal and from the sureties upon said bond. The provisions of this section shall not exempt the grantee from compliance with any of the laws of the City in force during the term thereof which required the grantee to post a bond other than the bond required by this section.

Subject: AUTHORIZE ADJUSTMENTS TO FY 2021 BUDGET IN SUPPORT OF

COVID-19 VACCINATION PREPARATION EFFORTS IN THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT

Background Over the last few weeks, the federal and State Health Departments have made public plans for wide distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to local governments. The plan involves distribution of vaccines from the federal government, down to local Health Departments. The City of Paramount is regulated and served by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH). DPH announced that it will start COVID-19 vaccine inoculations in phases based on priority of at-risk populations. DPH has made it clear that there will not be enough vaccines for everyone at the onset of distributions, however their plan is to distribute these limited vaccines in a fair, ethical, and transparent way. Healthcare workers and people living in long-term care facilities (such as nursing homes) will be offered the vaccine first. The county then added residents 65 years old and above to the list of eligible residents. The goal is for everyone to be able to easily get a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as large quantities are available; this may take a few months. Last week, staff met with representatives from Supervisor Janice Hahn’s Office, as well as members of the DPH responsible for Points of Distribution (POD) sites Countywide. The purpose of these meetings was to stress to the County that the City is adamant about being involved in mass distributions and express its desire to host a POD at Paramount Park. The County was appreciative of the City’s efforts and indicated that City resources would be taken into consideration of further POD planning. The County also cautioned that the unpredictable and limited supply of vaccine doses from the federal and State levels is a fundamental issue tempering plans to move forward with additional PODs and micro-distribution sites around the County. The following are two approaches intended to support our residents by ensuring they have access to vaccines as they become widely available.

Agenda Report February 2, 2021 COVID-19 VACCINATION EFFORTS Page 2

Temporary Expansion of Medical Taxi Service The City’s current program for taxi-based transit to medical facilities outside the City was created to provide seniors and persons with disabilities the ability to transit approximately five miles outside of Paramount for these out-of-town medical visits. The City subsidizes the cost for each trip up to a maximum of $18.40 per trip, so that residents only pay $2 per trip. The program is available to seniors and persons with disabilities seven days per week between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Requests for rides are made to an Administrative Services Cooperative dispatch telephone number. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a temporary expansion of the eligibility for this taxi-based medical transit program to include resident non-seniors that are seeking transportation to a medical facility or a County-approved COVID-19 vaccination site. Staff is also proposing that any trip to obtain the vaccine be provided at no cost to our residents. Currently, a vaccine distribution site located nearby at the Los Angeles County Office of Education in Downey is operating, but it is difficult to obtain an appointment and access to other sites is important in helping our residents obtain the vaccine. The estimated to the cost to the City would be approximately $5,000, paid for by Prop A County transportation funds. Once staff determines that the vaccine is widely distributed locally and more accessible, we will terminate the temporary expansion of eligibility and revert back to the original eligibility requirements. If approved, staff will use discretion when determining taxi transportation drive and wait times when to keep costs reasonable. Staffing and Resources to Support a Paramount Vaccination POD To assist the DPH with the operation of a potential vaccine distribution site at Paramount Park, staff proposes providing part-time City staffing to assist with traffic control and direction on the park site. This will consist of approximately five Community Services & Recreation Department staff over a 10 hour period, six days per week for an anticipated 18 week period. The proposed plan would cost approximately $75,900. Additionally, full-time staff will be providing supervisorial and liaison support with DPH at no additional costs. If approved by DPH, a potential vaccination site at Paramount Park will include City tables, chairs, and pop-up shelters. Similar to the other COVID-related uses for Paramount Park, Public Works staff will assist the operation with traffic lane setup on the park and Public Safety staff will assist with any traffic impacts that may occur off the park. When the City closed the books on the Fiscal Year 2020 budget, a COVID-19 relief reserve fund of $323,657 was established by the City Council using surplus funds. We are proposing to use money from this reserve fund to cover the cost for this effort.

Agenda Report February 2, 2021 COVID-19 VACCINATION EFFORTS Page 3

RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council approve the following three items: 1) temporary expansion of eligibility for medical taxi services for COVID-19 vaccine purposes; 2) an adjustment to the Fiscal Year 2021 Adopted Budget in an amount of $5,000 for expanded medical taxi services offset by Prop A Transportation Funds; and 3) authorize an adjustment to the Fiscal Year 2021 adopted budget in the amount of $75,900 for staffing and resources to support a Paramount vaccination Point of Distribution site using the COVID-19 Relief Reserve Fund.

Subject: “EXPLORE PARAMOUNT” SHOP LOCAL CAMPAIGN Background Following State and County Health Department safety restrictions imposed on businesses to limit the spread of COVID-19, staff took immediate steps to help our local economy survive. As a result of these actions, the City assembled a Business Recovery Committee (Committee) composed of local business stakeholders, and developed a comprehensive Business Recovery Plan (Plan). On July 7, 2020, the City Council received a report on the Committee’s progress and the Plan to assist Paramount businesses survive shutdowns caused by COVID-19. As State and County restrictions continue to affect our business community, the City continues to work collaboratively with the Committee and explore opportunities intended to support our local businesses. The following is a report on the City’s efforts to launch a new “shop local” campaign to entice residents and visitors to support Paramount businesses. “Explore Paramount: Dine, Shop, Discover” Campaign In collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, a new shop local campaign was developed based on a three-pronged approach: (1) Marketing and Advertising, (2) Incentivizing, and (3) Online Accessibility.

1. Marketing and Advertising The City’s communications consultant, Tripepi Smith, was retained in 2016 specifically to assist staff with complex communications and marketing projects intended to enhance public information. Tripepi Smith was primarily tasked with developing a branding and marketing strategy for “Explore Paramount: Dine. Shop. Experience.” A new logo and marketing strategy will help drive our efforts to help grow awareness of the new shop local campaign. This will also be an opportunity for the City to reinvigorate the Paramount Al Fresco program and marketing, as State Health Order regulations start to loosen. Combining the Al Fresco program marketing under the umbrella of “Explore Paramount” aligns with our efforts to implement a coordinated shop local approach.

Agenda Report February 2, 2021 BUSINESS RECOVERY EFFORTS AND SHOP LOCAL CAMPAIGN Page 2

2. Incentive Program As part of the “Explore Paramount” campaign, the Chamber of Commerce will organize a “Receipts for Rewards” program. The program will encourage Paramount business patrons to submit their receipts electronically to the Chamber of Commerce to enter into a weekly drawing to win gift cards to local businesses. In order to be eligible to enter the drawing, receipts submitted must show at least $50 spent at Paramount businesses. A drawing will be held virtually every week for a gift card from a local business. Startup costs for the program will be initially funded using $5,000 of CARES Act (CDBG-COVID) funds distributed by the City, supplemented by donations from local businesses.

3. Online Accessibility

Many small businesses in town do not have the capital or resources to establish a strong online presence, yet e-Commerce has played a vital role in how business is now conducted. In order to facilitate the digital transition for local merchants, staff is proposing a collaboration with Giftbar to provide an online e-gift card platform for Paramount business. Giftbar is a tech firm that provides digital gift card services to communities affected by COVID-19. Giftbar works with cities to give merchants technology to offer gift cards to their clients where social distancing would have prevented sales for these highly-impacted businesses. With an online site completely dedicated to Paramount businesses, local merchants will be able to sign up and create a unique profile and gift card program for their businesses through a Paramount-based website at no cost to the merchant or the customer. Staff believes that online digital gift cards may enable local businesses to access a new platform not previously available to them. For instance, local businesses that are not traditionally set up to provide digital gift cards, such as auto repair shops, car wash services, and other service providers may find success through this online platform provided for free by the City. The agreement between the City and Giftbar will be structured so that the City will subsidize all fees in order for both Paramount merchants and customers to maximize the benefits. The estimated cost to the City to implement the online gift card site is approximately $3,000 per year.

The City’s “Explore Paramount” campaign was presented to and well-received by the Committee on January 28, 2021. “Explore Paramount” will launch on February 3, 2021. Staff will also explore the feasibility of purchasing billboard ad space in the region to promote “Explore Paramount.” RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council provide feedback on the “Explore Paramount” shop local campaign, and approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021 Adopted Budget in the amount $3,000 for an E-gift card program and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to enter into a two-year agreement with Giftbar.

REPORT

REVIEW OF COMMUNITY GARDENS IN PARAMOUNT AND FUTURE

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

C:\USERS\KCARDONA\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\INETCACHE\CONTENT.OUTLOOK\HC8P04XE\PARAMOUNT COMMUNITY GARDENS REVIEW.DOCX; 1/29/2021 9:09 AM

To: Honorable City Council From: John Moreno, City Manager By: David Johnson, Community Services &

Recreation Director Date: February 2, 2021

Subject: REVIEW OF COMMUNITY GARDENS IN PARAMOUNT AND FUTURE

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS Background Approximately 30 years ago, the City of Paramount had three functioning community gardens at various locations in the City. Two gardens were located in power company right-of-ways: a Department of Water and Power (DWP) site adjacent to the east end of Progress Park and a Southern California Edison (SCE) site at the intersection of Orange Ave. and Cortland Ave. The third site was in a vacant piece of land off Garfield Ave. and Petterson Lane, adjacent to the railroad right-of-way. Loss of Garden Sites The DWP garden site adjacent to Progress Park was eliminated with the development of the Jefferson School site in 1999. This former community garden is where the current school parking lot and hardscape playground area reside. The Garfield/Petterson site was eliminated approximately 12 years ago when Royal Truck Body required the property for an expansion of their facility. Unfortunately, the Royal Truck Body project did not come to fruition but the former garden site became part of a proposed turn-lane expansion for the Cal Met facility expansion which has two years remaining on the Conditional Use Permit for this development. While this remains City property should the Cal Met project not occur, the location of the community garden along a major boulevard and in an industrial zone subject to possible future projects makes it unlikely that we would recommend returning this site to community garden use. As a result of these community garden losses, the City of Paramount has only the Orange/Cortland garden remaining. This community garden site provides space for 28 individual gardeners. The Community Services & Recreation Department manages the use of the community garden by supervising the applications for the garden, providing access to the garden, and enforcing the rules and policies regarding use of the garden. The Public Works Department provides staffing to remove garden waste and debris and to provide any site maintenance and repairs.

C:\Users\Kcardona\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\HC8P04XE\Paramount Community Gardens Review.docx; 1/29/2021 9:09 AM

Student Garden Site Approximately eight years ago, the City developed a small portion of land at the east end of Progress Park adjacent to the DWP right-of-way. The area was developed as a student garden using After School Education and Safety (ASES) funds in support of STAR programming at the Jefferson School site. The garden was closed during the 2018 drought and reopened in 2019 only to be shut down again in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Although the PUSD school sites remain closed and may not have students return for in-person instruction until next fall, we are going to temporarily reopen portions of the garden to 17 STAR families to plant and harvest between February and the middle of August when we anticipate students returning to campus. If this proves to be a successful expanded use of the garden site, we will look at keeping this operational format. This garden site is operated and supervised by the Community Services & Recreation Department through the use of STAR program staff. Additional maintenance of the site is provided by Public Works staff. Additionally, the Paramount Unified School District operates student garden sites at Collins School, the Odyssey STEM Academy, and Paramount High School West Campus. Plans exist for development of gardens at both Roosevelt School and the Paramount High School Senior Campus. Future Development Options We would like to expand opportunities for our residents to participate in a community garden but the obvious and primary obstacle is suitable available land. As we are all aware, Paramount is a built-out community and there are only a few usable options that could be considered for a community garden space. The primary options are to lease property from either DWP or SCE. Unfortunately, DWP is not currently accepting applications for any uses like community gardens on their property. SCE remains an option as they are still willing to enter into five-year lease agreements for such uses. We are currently engaged with SCE in submitting applications to construct a community garden on a portion of the SCE property along Rosecrans Ave. and a possible expansion of the existing Orange/Cortland community garden. We will also be exploring the possibility of a community orchard at Dills Park that would operate differently than a community garden but still provide our residents access to fresh fruit. Additionally, once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, we will be exploring how we can assist the various households in town that grow fruits and vegetables in their yards with garden-share events where residents can exchange their excess produce with other residents. RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.

Subject: NEIGHBORHOOD PERMIT PARKING REQUEST FOR THE 6500 BLOCK

OF SAN CARLOS STREET Background On October 6, 2020, the City Council voted to adopt Resolution No. 20:029, which amended the existing procedures for establishing Neighborhood Permit parking in the City. Resolution No. 20:029 allows for staff initiated requests for Neighborhood Permit parking for areas with existing Neighborhood Permit parking and proposed areas affected by significant factors. Discussion On August 18, 2020, the City Council approved the construction of a mini-soccer court at the north end of Dills Park. The construction is an upgrade to the existing open park area. Although the mini-soccer court is intended for the nearby community, staff anticipates the mini-soccer court may attract more vehicles to the 6500 block of San Carlos Street challenging the local parking needs. The 6500 block of San Carlos Street is adjacent to the mini-soccer court. Resolution No. 20:029 provides authority for the Public Safety Director to recommend to the City Council approval of Neighborhood Permit parking on behalf of residents who may experience negative parking effects brought by expanding services such as the construction of the mini-soccer court at Dills Park. Analysis The Public Safety Department identified the following five parcels along the 6500 block of San Carlos Street and two parcels at the corner of San Jose Avenue that may face parking challenges brought by the mini-soccer court at the north end of Dills Park:

• 6557 San Carlos Street




Agenda Report February 2, 2021 NEIGHBORHOOD PERMIT PARKING REQUEST FOR THE PAGE 2 6500 BLOCK OF SAN CARLOS STREET


• 14504 San Jose Avenue

• 14505 San Jose Avenue

In October 2020, the Public Safety Department mailed voter surveys to the seven parcel property owners to obtain consensus on the permit-parking proposal. The Public Safety Department received an 86 percent response from property owners in favor of establishing permit parking along the 6500 block of San Carlos Street. Proposal Staff proposes to include the 6500 block of San Carlos Street in the Neighborhood Permit Parking program under the criteria authorized by Resolution No. 20:029. This staff initiated request would serve residents along the 6500 block of San Carlos Street with their local parking needs in preparation for the mini-soccer court at Dills Park. RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council authorize Neighborhood Permit Parking for the 6500 block of San Carlos Street, which will be effective immediately.

Subject: MEDIAN MODIFICATIONS ON ORANGE AVENUE BY ZAMBONI

MIDDLE SCHOOL LOCATED BETWEEN ALONDRA BOULEVARD AND MYRRH STREET AND ASSOCIATED BUDGET ADJUSTMENT The City received a request from the Paramount Unified School District (PUSD) for street median modifications on Orange Avenue by the Zamboni Middle School located between Alondra Boulevard and Myrrh Street. For some time, PUSD has been working with a consultant to evaluate traffic conditions around several schools to enhance safety for the school children. A Traffic Improvement Plan was prepared and approved by PUSD that requires modifications to school property to create a new parking lot and drop off zones. This new layout will require the modification of the City’s existing street median to allow for turns into the new driveway entrance. PUSD will include, as part of their project, all modifications to the Orange Avenue median and will install drought tolerant planting to the section of median that is part of the project area. The planting will be similar to the rest of the drought tolerant converted medians city wide. We would like to use this opportunity to convert the remainder of the median not being altered by PUSD. Brightview Landscape Services, who currently is the City’s exclusive landscape maintenance contractor, provided a quote of $135,015.27. The City’s contract with Brightview allows for the addition of extra work. In an effort to maintain consistency in quality of landscaping and service, Brightview will be overseeing the project and making the improvements. According to the City’s purchasing policy, purchases of equipment or services in excess of $25,000 need to be approved by the City Council. The installation of new landscaping is provided in our existing landscaping contract with Brightview and, therefore, does not require competitive bidding. This will require a budget adjustment of $136,000 to the Fiscal Year 2021 adopted budget. If approved, this adjustment will be included in the midyear budget and Brightview, our landscape maintenance contractor, would perform that work under additional services. The attached maps show the proposed drop-off zone for the school and median modifications needed.

Subject: APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF DOWNEY FOR

CENTURY BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS (CITY PROJECT NO. 9131) The City of Paramount Neighborhood Street Improvement 2020-21 Capital Improvement Project consists of Century Boulevard street resurfacing from Ruther Avenue to Barlin Avenue. However, Century Boulevard from Klondike Avenue to Barlin Avenue is located within the City of Downey. In order to assure a cohesive and uniform street rehabilitation project, the City of Downey is willing to partner with the City of Paramount by contributing to the costs for this portion of the project. This is common practice for cities where boundaries are shared. Recently, we partnered with the City of Compton for street improvements on Hunsaker Avenue. The estimated cost to the City of Downey is two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). Attached, for City Council’s review and approval, is the funding agreement between the Cities of Downey and Paramount detailing the responsibilities for both parties. The City Attorney has reviewed this agreement and approved it as to form. RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement with the City of Downey for the Century Boulevard improvements and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the agreement.
