MEETING OF THE CITY OF VERNON HELD TUESDAY, JUNE 3,
2014, IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER OF THE CITY HALL LOCATED
AT 4305 SANTA FE AVENUE, VERNON, CALIFORNIA
MEMBERS PRESENT: McCormick, Davis, Maisano, Ybarra, and
Martinez
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
SPECIAL MEETING
The Special meeting of the City Council was called to order at
7:30 a.m. by Mayor McCormick.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor McCormick announced that this was the time allotted for
public comment on the Special meeting portion of the Agenda, the
Budget Study Session only, and inquired whether anyone in the
audience wished to address the City Council. No one responded.
BUDGET STUDY SESSION
1. Review of proposed budgets for fiscal year 2014-2015 for
the following departments:
Fire Department
Health and Environmental Control Department
Police Department
Fire Chief Michael Wilson conducted the public budget study
session and review of the proposed budget for the Fire
Department. Wilson noted that the increase in capital
expenditures is due to the proposed training center.
Councilmember Ybarra recalled that in previous budget reviews,
the Fire Department was over budget by approximately $2 million,
and inquired whether this issue had been addressed. He noted
that the proposed budget remains relatively the same as in
previous years.
In response, Wilson advised that the department is currently
approximately $600,000 over the budget. Finance Director
William Fox further advised that the over budget is due to
overtime expense, the PARS early retirement incentive and
additional operating costs.
Wilson also explained that grant reimbursement funds are often
delayed in the process, and therefore not captured timely within
the budgets
Councilmember Ybarra inquired whether there was any succession
planning for the Department. In response, Wilson reported that
one new hire is proposed for the upcoming fiscal year. He
anticipated that there will be many retirees in the next three
to five years. He reported that there is no Fire Marshal; the
responsibilities are being performed by Fire Code Inspector
William “Bill” Wilson.
Councilmember Ybarra inquired whether operating four Fire
Stations is necessary. In response, Wilson advised that the
Special and Regular City Council Meeting Minutes
May 20, 2014
Page 2 of 17
Council has the authority to determine whether the City wants to
maintain its Class 1 rating or reduce the number of Fire
Stations and go to a Class 2 rating. He noted that a change
would impact insurance premium costs for businesses. Wilson
advised that the proposed training center will assist the
department in maintaining the Class 1 rating.
Fox further advised that Wilson and staff have been extremely
aggressive in searching for grant opportunities so that projects
such as the training center can come to fruition.
Councilmember Maisano commended the Fire Chief for working
through the staff reduction and aggressively pursuing grant
funds to off-set costs.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis sought an update on the I-710 expansion
project which identifies Fire Station 4 as subject to eminent
domain. In response, Director of Public Works, Water and
Development Services Kevin Wilson reported that the
Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) was circulated. Thousands
of comments were received; he anticipates that the proposal
would need to be revised to address the concerns. Wilson
explained that unless the EIR is approved, the project will not
move forward; the City cannot request funds from CalTrans for
the relocation of Fire Station 4 unless this occurs.
Director of Health and Environmental Control Leonard Grossberg
conducted the public budget study session and review of the
proposed budget for his department. Grossberg advised that the
budget remains relatively stable. There were no questions of
staff from Council on the proposed budget for the Health and
Environmental Control Department.
Police Chief Daniel Calleros conducted the public budget study
session and review of the proposed budget for the Police
Department. The Department’s goal is to reduce expenditures
while still maintaining the same level of service. He noted the
approximately 32% reduction in staffing over the last five
years. Calleros highlighted the implementation of the online
crime reporting system. Crime levels have remained relatively
low and stable. He advised that the Police Department also is
facing succession planning concerns.
Calleros noted changes in the department’s fee schedule
including a reduction to the vehicle release fee. Businesses
will be charged for false security alarm calls, starting with
the fourth call within a fiscal year. Calleros noted that the
goal is not to penalize the businesses, but rather reduce the
responses to false alarms. There were no questions of staff
from Council on the proposed budget for the Police Department.
With no further discussion, at 8:25 a.m., the Special Meeting of
the City Council was adjourned.
REGULAR MEETING
The Regular meeting of the City Council was called to order at
9:00 a.m. by Mayor McCormick; Mayor Pro Tem Davis led the flag
salute.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Public hearing to consider all oral and written evidence
given by Appellant and the City, including the
administrative record of the hearing, regarding the appeal
of the Special Warehouse Parcel Tax for Coastal Closeouts,
Inc. DBA West Coast Rags (APN 6308-014-038).
Recommendation:
(1) Find that the appeal by Coastal Closeouts, Inc. dba
West Coast Rags of the special parcel tax with respect
to parcel number 6308-014-038 is not a project subject
to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section
15378(b)(4) and, furthermore, would be exempt from the
requirements of CEQA pursuant to the California Code
of Regulations Section 15061(b)(3) general rule that
CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect
on the environment; and
(2) Conduct a public hearing pursuant to Section 5.62(c)
of the City Code regarding the tax appeal by Coastal
Closeouts, Inc. dba West Coast Rags of the special
parcel tax with respect to parcel number 6308-014-038
and deny the appeal. It is further recommended that
the City Council (a) find that the facts stated in
this staff report are correct; (b) find that all of
the factual assumptions made within the legal analysis
of the City’s Special Counsel are correct; and (c)
establish that this staff report, including the
memorandum of the City’s Special Counsel, shall serve
as the findings of fact for this appeal.
Special Counsel Mark Mandell explained that the process will be
different from other public hearings as this is an appeals
process on the determination made by the Public Works, Water and
Development Services Department on the appeal to the special
Special and Regular City Council Meeting Minutes
May 20, 2014
Page 4 of 17
parcel tax submitted by Coastal Closeouts, Inc. DBA West Coast
Rags (“appellant”).
Mandell explained that it will be a quasi-judicial hearing in
that testimony of staff and appellant will be heard; after
which, based on the evidence the Council will decide whether the
law was applied correctly. Mandell cautioned that this is not
an opportunity to discuss whether the law is right; the Council
has the authority to address and change the law in the future if
it so chooses.
Mandell further explained that Director of Public Works, Water
and Development Services Kevin Wilson will serve as a witness
for this defense, and will need to be sworn in by the Deputy
City Clerk. Likewise, the appellant and any of his witnesses
will also need to be sworn in. The Council will be the judges.
Deputy City Attorney Zaynah Moussa will be Council’s counsel.
Mandell advised that he will be presenting on the City’s behalf.
The Council is free to ask questions of staff, counsel, or
appellant. At the conclusion of the proceedings, the City
Council will either find that the Public Works, Water and
Development Services Department is correct, find that it is
incorrect, or continue the hearing until the next meeting.
Mandell explained that if staff is found to be correct,
Council’s decision would also adopt the memorandum provided in
the administrative record. Council has the authority to amend
any of the facts if they do not agree.
Mandell presented on behalf of the City the various findings.
Mandell reported and explained the appellant’s operation. He
concluded that for these reasons the operation has been
categorized as a whole sale and not manufacturing production.
He noted that the definition of a warehouse is cited in the
memorandum and further explained how the warehouse tax is
applied.
Mandell explained that the issue is whether the operation is a
manufacturer, or a wholesale/warehouse as the special warehouse
parcel tax does not provide for a definition of a wholesale
operation.
Witness, Director of Public Works, Water and Development
Services Kevin Wilson, was sworn in to provide his testimony.
Wilson presented on the special warehouse parcel tax and on the
inspection of the facility conducted by staff. Staff found that
the majority of the operation involves the sorting and bailing
of clothing and shoes. No value is being added to the product.
Wilson reported on Vernon Municipal Code 26.2.6 which states
that industry and industrial use shall mean the manufacture or
production of certain goods and specifically excludes tasks
primarily consisting of collecting, sorting, shipping,
distributing, or inspecting goods.
In the application, the appellant described the operation as
sorting clothing and selling to third world countries.
Additionally, the certificate of occupancy sites that the
facility will be subject to the special warehouse parcel tax.
Wilson further reported on his findings and recommended that the
appeal be denied. He requested that Council determine that the
findings in the staff report and memorandum are correct.
Special and Regular City Council Meeting Minutes
May 20, 2014
Page 5 of 17
Wilson reported that if the findings are not determined to be
correct, the fiscal impact would result in a direct reduction of
approximately $55,000 in revenue. Additionally, similar
businesses could appeal which could reduce the revenue by
approximately $210,000.
Moussa advised that the appellant has the opportunity to cross-
examine the witness and ask any questions. The appellant had no
questions.
Appellant, Chuck Bates of Coastal Closeouts, Inc. DBA West Coast
Rags, was sworn-in by the Deputy City Clerk. Bates explained
that the issue is what is being considered a warehouse
operation. He explained that the large bails of clothing in his
production are the raw materials and that due to the labor
intensive process the business is more like a manufacturer.
Bates expressed the importance of the labor component. He
opined that staff’s reporting of the process failed to capture
this component.
Mayor McCormick opened the hearing for public comment. There
was no comment from the public. Mayor McCormick inquired
whether staff had any final comments.
Mandell responded that staff made a reasonable determination
that the operation is a warehouse.
Moussa advised Bates that this is the opportunity to ask
questions or make comments. In response, Bates added that the
operation is more like an assembly operation than a warehouse.
The material that is being sorted would have gone to a landfill
had it not been for Costal Closeouts, Inc.; the operation can
also be considered a recycling facility. Bates reemphasized the
labor intensive process.
Mandell asked Wilson if it was unusual for warehouse operations
to involve the sorting of material or whether the operation was
limited to the moving of boxes. In response, Wilson advised
that there are all types of warehouse operations, including
those that perform some assembly before shipping.
Wilson confirmed for Mandell that the appellant was not unique
in his process.
Bates inquired whether there were other warehouses with such a
labor intensive process or high payroll costs, Wilson advised
that he was not aware of payroll expenses but that there are
operations that require a number of employees.
Bates advised that the company sells to third world countries,
and that the cost to do business cannot be passed-on to the
customers.
At 9:34 a.m., with no further comments or questions, Mayor
McCormick closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Davis to approve staff’s recommendation that the
facts stated in the administrative report are correct, and
approve the memorandum issued by Special Counsel Mandell which
shall serve as the finding of facts for this appeal. It was
seconded by Maisano. Motion carried, 5-0.

of the City of Vernon providing for the appropriation of
the Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) Program funds
received for fiscal year 2014-2015 for frontline municipal
police services.
Recommendation:
(1) Find that the proposed actions are exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in
accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule

funds for fiscal year 2014-2015; and

Police Chief Daniel Calleros reported that the Department is
required to use COPS program funds for unsworn position; the
funds must be used to supplement not supplant the police force.
The Department is scheduled to receive approximately $100,000 in
grant funds. Historically, these funds have been used to
subsidize certain position that would not otherwise exist.
The notice of public hearing was posted on the website and

pursuant to Section 5.46(d)(2) of the Vernon Municipal
Code.
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon
determining the public safety special parcel tax for
fiscal year 2014-2015.
Recommendation:
(1) Find that adoption of the proposed resolution is not a
“project” pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the
Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) because it relates to a governmental funding
mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any
specific project; and even if adoption of the
resolution were a project, it would be exempt from
CEQA in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the
Special and Regular City Council Meeting Minutes
May 20, 2014
Page 7 of 17
general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that
may have an effect on the environment; and
(2) Adopt a resolution setting the Public Safety Special
Parcel Tax for fiscal year 2014-2015 at $.0303 per
square foot of taxable parcel area and submitting the
public safety special parcel tax list to the Los
Angeles County Auditor Controller’s Office.
Director of Public Works, Water and Development Services Kevin
Wilson reported that 2013-2014 is the first year the public
safety special parcel tax was implemented since its approval by
Vernon voters under Measure L in 2013. The tax was originally
set at $.03 per square foot of taxable parcel area. Staff
calculated the maximum increase permitted by City Code based on
the consumer price index. It was determined that the maximum
that could be applied is $.0303 per square foot of taxable
parcel area. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rate
increase.
Councilmember Ybarra inquired on what will occur if Council does
not approve the proposed increase. In response, Wilson
explained that the Council does not have to approve staff’s
recommendation; however, the tax rate must be set, and cannot be
greater than the calculated max of $.0303 per square foot.
Councilmember Ybarra advised that he has property that is
affected by the proposed tax and inquired whether he could still
participate in the deliberation.
Deputy City Attorney Scott Porter suggested continuing the
public hearing until the next City Council meeting so that an
appropriate answer could be provided.
It was moved by Maisano and seconded by Davis to continue the
public hearing to the June 17, 2014, City Council meeting.
Motion carried, 5-0.
4. Public hearing to consider the rate adjustment of the
Warehouse Special Parcel Tax for fiscal year 2014-2015
pursuant to Section 5.45(d)(2) of the Vernon Municipal
Code.
Resolution No. 2014-20 - A Resolution of the City Council
of the City of Vernon determining the special parcel tax
levied pursuant to section 5.45 of the municipal code for
fiscal year 2014-2015.
Recommendation:
(1) Find that adoption of the proposed resolution is not a
“project” pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the
Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) because it relates to a governmental funding
mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any
specific project, and even if adoption of the
resolution were a project, it would be exempt from
CEQA in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the
general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that
may have an effect on the environment; and
(2) Adopt a resolution setting the Warehouse Special
Parcel Tax rate at $29.39 per 100 square feet of gross
area of land for fiscal year 2014-2015 and submitting
Special and Regular City Council Meeting Minutes
May 20, 2014
Page 8 of 17
the warehouse special parcel tax list to the Los
Angeles County Auditor Controller’s Office.
Director of Public Works, Water and Development Services Kevin
Wilson reported on the Warehouse Special Parcel Tax. He advised
that staff had calculated the maximum rate that could be applied
based on the consumer price index to be $29.39 per 100 square
feet of gross area of land. The current rate is $29.09. The
proposed tax rate is projected to generate approximately $9.8
million in revenue.
At 9:47 a.m., Mayor McCormick opened the public hearing to
consider public comment on the proposed rate adjustment of the
Warehouse Special Parcel Tax for fiscal year 2014-2015.
Steve Fred of Mt. Vernon Industrial, LLC noted that although he
is not objecting to the proposed tax increase, he urges Council
to consider the effects of the business license increase and
parcel taxes on the rental community. He stated that any
building for lease is struggling as the tax and business license
fee can be just as much as the rent. He reported on tenants
that have left as a result. For landowners there is pressure to
keep rent down in order to remain competitive.
With no additional comments, at 9:51 a.m., Mayor McCormick
closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Ybarra to keep the current rate at $29.09 per
100 square feet of gross area of land. The motion dies for lack
of a second.
It was moved by Maisano and seconded by Davis to approve
Resolution No. 2014-20, with staff’s recommendation. Motion
carried, 4-1, with Ybarra in opposition.

educational and training purposes. It is further
recommended that the City Council find that the
donation serves a municipal purpose.

transitioned to a new vendor for the self-contained breathing
apparatus equipment, and as a result, has a surplus of various
components that no longer meet industry standards. He is
recommending that these be donated to Rio Hondo Fire Academy for
training purposes. The Academy relies on donations or training
equipment. Wilson advised that the items cannot be sold because
they are aged and do not meet industry standards.
It was moved by Davis and seconded by Martinez to authorize the
donation of self-contained breathing apparatus equipment to the
Rio Hondo Fire Academy. Motion carried, 5-0.

Understanding by and between the City of Vernon and

(2) Contingent upon City Council adoption of the Fiscal
Year 2014-2015 budget, adopt the attached resolution

excluding those represented by the Vernon Firemen’s Association;
at the time, no changes were made to the salary schedules.
Additionally, exempt designations were placed on hold until the
implementation of the new salary grades for middle management.
McAllister reported that the employees designated as
“confidential and mid-management” are not part of a collective
bargaining unit and are therefore not subject to the provision
of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act.

salary grades for the confidential and mid-management group
based on the classification and compensation study by setting
the salaries at the 75th percentile effective June 29, 2014.

grades.

On March 18,2014, City Council adopted updated Citywide personnel classifications pursuant to
the recommendations of the Citywide classification study conducted by Public Sector Personnel
Consultants.
In light of labor negotiations in progress at that time with the City of Vernon Firemen's
Association ("VFA"), classifications represented by this unit were excluded from the March 18,
2014 classification plan amendments, pending any proposed changes in terms and conditions of
employment for the classifi cations.

As of July 8, 2014, City staff and representatives of VFA have concluded the meet and confer
process in good faith regarding the job classifications represented by the VFA. In light of
ongoing negotiations with the VFA regarding salaries and benefits, staff caxnot recommend
implementing any salary survey adjustments affecting VFA employees at this time.
In line with the City's good govemance reforms, the attached job classifications reflect the
essential functions of each classification as they currently exist and establish the minimum
qualifications for each classification. City staff reviewed and recommends the approval of the
VFA personnel classification plan. City staff also recommends that the updated classifications
be implemented and become effective July l, 2014. In accordance with Personnel Policy and
Procedures, Classification Plan Administration II-1, classification revisions recommended by the
Human Resources Director (including reclassification actions and the creation of new or
abolition of existing classes) which affect individual positions, classes, class series, or all classes

become effective upon the effective date approved by City Council. The Human Resources
Director has the authority to make minor revisions to the classification plan where there are no
significant impacts to the essential functions of the job classification, classes, class series or the

DATE:

FROM:
RE:
July 15,2014
Honorable Mayor and Cify Council
carlos Fandino Jr., Director of Gas & Electric A 1 4'lr4
Base Contract with Noble Americas Gas & Power Corp. for Sale and
Purchase of Natural Gas (the "NAESB Contract")
Recommendations
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the approval requested in this staff report is exempt under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section
15301(b), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect
on the environment; and
2. Authorize the Director of Gas & Electric to execute the North American Energy
Standards Board ("NAESB") contract by and between the City of Vernon ("City")
and Noble Americas Gas & Power Corp. ("NAGP") in substantially the same form as
attached to the staff report, for the purpose of buying and selling natural gas to or
from NAGP, in compliance with the general terms established in the agreement. It is
further recommended that the City Council find that, pursuant to Vernon Municipal
Code $ 2.17.12(A)(6), competitive bidding is not required because these are contracts
for gas and/or electrical power for the city's power utility, and that it would be
commercially unreasonable to procure the gas or electricity through standard bidding
or request for proposal procedures.
Background
The City of Vernon owns and operates a municipal natural gas distribution system for supplying
the City's municipal electric system with natural gas and providing natural gas to businesses and
industries within the City. The City desires to sell and purchase natural gas to or from NAGP,
under general terms and conditions published by the NAESB. The City has determined that it is
to the City's advantage, and in the public interest of the customers and residents of the City, to
enter into a contract with NAGP for the purchase and sale of natural gas.
This agreement constitutes general terms and conditions only and does not obligate the City to
enter into a specific purchase or sale transaction; however, the result of fully executing the
agreement will provide the ability for the City to transact with NAGP. The City has similar
agreements in place with Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), BP Energy, Shell
Energy, Southern California Gas Company, Iberdrola, and EDF Trading North America, LLC.
The key objectives of the agreement with NAGP are as follows:
o To expand the City's counterparty pool
o Create an opportunity for better pricing and liquidity
o To maximize trading capability
Vernon Gas & Electric staff recommends that the base NAESB Contract with NAGP be
approved. Attached herewith is a copy of the proposed Base Contract for Sale and Purchase of
Natural Gas withNAGP.
The proposed contract is with NAGP, and Noble Group Limited has agreed to serve as Guarantor
of NAGP's duties under the contract for an amount not to exceed $10 Million.
Fiscal Impact
The base agreement with NAGP will provide Vernon flexibility to buy and sell natural gas as
needs dictate, which could potentially produce a monetary benefit for the City. The exact
financial impact of this agreement is unknown at this time.

MONTHLY REPORT
June,2014
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONTROL
Activity in June centered on preparation of annualHazardous Materials Establishment and
Underground Tank Facility permit renewals, which are on a fiscal year invoicing basis. 2014 is the
eighteenth year our department has acted as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA), and the
eleventh year we have issued a consolidated invoice to businesses. Hazardous Materials Establishment,
Underground Tank, and State surcharge fees are all included on one invoice. A new State Surcharge
of $26.00 was added in2014 for the Above Ground Storage Tank Program. The electronic reporting
system will enable businesses to submit hazardous materials information to the State, and the State will
forward the information to the respective CUPA's.
The CUPA invoices included the following Hazardous Materials Business Plan information and
certification forms:
o Emergency contacts, their titles, and phone numbers.
o A summary of a site's hazardous chemical inventory, chemical quantities, types of containers,
and chemical locations.
Almost 500 health permit renewal invoices were sent to hazardous materials establishments in Vernon.
Emergency response activities included two hazardous materials spill investigations and two sewage
discharge investigations.
Other significant activities included the ongoing remediation planning and closure activities for the
Pechiney facility on Fruitland Avenue, the Angelus Sanitary Can Corporation on Pacific, the former
Kop Coat facility on District Boulevard, the Conway facility on 26th Street, the Osterbauer Compressor
facility on Santa Fe Ave., the Heitz Trucking site on Ross, the former Kitty Queen site on Downey
Road, and the Thermador facility on District Blvd.
Director Leonard Grossberg hosted the LAC4 meeting in Vernon in June which represents the Los
Angeles County CUPA Coordinating Commiuee members to discuss topics in the field of hazardous
materials, hazardous wastes, and underground/above ground storage tanks.
Senior Environmental Health Specialist Jenick Torres conducted an inspection of a new ammonia
refrigeration system at Vie De France Bakery.
UNDERGROUND TANK PROGRAM
No underground tanks were removed in Vernon. Staff also continued to supervise work on
underground tanks for compliance with AB 989 requirements and certification efforts. One UST was
red-tagged for failing to meet permitting compliance issues, and will remain closed until all violations
are corrected.
FOOD PROGRAM
In June, inspection staff focused on inspection of retail food facilities for compliance with food safety
standards. Staff confirmed that the facilities were in substantial compliance.
This month, fiscal year invoices were prepared for mailing to wholesale food vehicle operators.
Senior Environmental Health Specialist Lyndon Ong Yiu worked on three new plan check reviews
during the month of June. He also continues working with a regional committee on mobile food
facility issues.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Sixteen water samples were collected from the three potable water supply systems within the City. All
samples were analyzed negative for e-coli and total coliforms and met State standards for potability.
Director Leonard Grossberg worked on the development of an application for the Used Oil Grant
Program. The grant provides funds to conduct public outreach and awareness efforts to improve used
oil and used oil filter recycling activities.
Director Grossberg processed the application for the Local Enforcement Grant for FY 2013-2014. The
grant provides funds for solid waste activities, equipment, office & safety supplies, computer and
electronic equipment, and training.
Director Grossberg processed the application for a "Hazardous Materials Emergency Plan" Grant for
FY 2014-2015. The grant provides funds for staff to prepare and submit a City Area Emergency Plan
which is coordinated with the Health & Fire Departments. If approved in October, we will use a part
time employee to prepare the plan for review and submittal and use the grant funding provided to pay
for his salary.
Director Grossberg also processed the renewal of a one year contract with the South East Animal Area
Control Association (SEAACA) to provide animal control services to the City of Vernon.
Animal complaints were unusually high during the month. Health Department staff and Animal
Control Offrcers from the South East Area Animal Control Association investigated over 15
complaints on loose and injured dogs, feral cats/kittens, and ducks!

Senior Environmental Health Specialist Jerrick Torres reviewed several Storm Water Discharge Plans,
including Whole Food's new facility on Pacific Blvd., Natures Produce on27th Street, and the new
Vernon Village Apts. on 52'd Street.
Senior Environmental Health Specialist Linda Johnson attended the Enforcement Advisory Council
(EAC) in Sacramento. The EAC meets six times a year to discuss solid wastes policies and issues
arising within the State.
Staff continues to expand knowledge and expertise by attending training seminars, lectures, and
continuing education classes. Special training in Tiered Permitting for Hazardous Wastes, McCoy's
RCRA Hazardous Waste Training, and Pesticide Applicators Safety Exam.
Senior Environmental Specialist Jerrick Torres conducted a Rodent Control Survey along the Furlong
homes, and provided recommendations for preventing rodent harborage and attracting pests.

Chief Deputy Director David LeDuff coordinated a mosquito survey within the Los Angeles River to
monitor the breeding of mosquitos, and found no activity present.
Finally, Director Leonard Grossberg met with representatives interested in developing an alternative
technologies facility in Vernon, by using "Gasification" as a source to eliminate solid waste from
landfills, and producing electricity as a result. In addition, a second source of energy in the form of
methane gas formed from "anaerobic digestion" is being discussed with several Vernon renderers.
Governor Brown lssues Executive Order to
Redouble State Drought Actions
4-25-2014
LOS ANGELES - With California's driest months ahead, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.
today issued an executive order to strengthen the state's ability to manage water and habitat
effectively in drought conditions and called on all Californians to redouble their efforts to
conserve water.
"The driest months are still to come in California and extreme drought conditions will get
worse," said Governor Brown. "This order cuts red tape to help get water to farmers more
quickly, ensure communities have safe drinking water, protect vulnerable species and
prepare for an extreme fire season. I call on every city, every community, every Californian to
conserve water in every way possible."
In January, the Governor declared a drought state of emergency. Since then, state water
officials say that reservoirs, rainfall totals and the snowpack remain critically low. Current
electronic readings show the snowpack's statewide water content at just 16 percent of
average.
ln the order, Governor Brown directs the Department of Water Resources and the State
Water Resources Control Board to expedite approvals of voluntary water transfers to assist
farmers. He also directs the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to accelerate
monitoring of drought impacts on winter-run Chinook salmon in the Sacramento River and its
tributaries, and to execute habitat restoration projects that will help fish weather the on-going
drought.
To respond to the increased threat of wildfire season, the order streamlines contracting rules
for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services and CALFIRE for equipment purchases and
enables landowners to quickly clear brush and dead, dying or diseased trees that increase
fire danger.
The order also calls on Californians and California businesses to take specific actions to
avoid wasting water, including limiting lawn watering and car washing; recommends that
schools, parks and golf courses limit the use of potable water for irrigation; and asks that
hotels and restaurants give customers options to conserve water by only serving water upon
request and other measures. The order also prevents homeowner associations from fining
residents that limit their lawn watering and take other conservation measures.
The order provides a limited waiver of the California Environmental Quality Act for several
actions that will limit harm from the drought. This waiver will enable these urgently needed
actions to take place quickly and will remain in place through the end of 2014.
Last December, the Governor formed a Drought Task Force to closely manage precious
water supplies, to expand water conservation wherever possible and to quickly respond to
emerging drought impacts throughout the state. ln May 2013, Governor Brown issued an
Executive Order to direct state water officials to expedite the review and processing of
voluntary transfers of water.
Governor Brown has called on all Californians to reduce their water use by 20 percent - visit
SaveOurH2O.org to find out how everyone can do their part, and visit Drought.CA.Gov to
learn more about how California is dealing with the effects of the drought.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Samuel Kevin Wilson,%irector of Public Works, Water and
Development Services
Amendment No. I to the existing Services Agreement between the
City of Vernon and Interwest Consulting Group for On Call Building
Plan Check and Inspection Services
Recommendation
It is recommended thatthe City Council:
l. Find that Amendment No. I renewing the existing Services Agreement between the City of
Vernon and Interwest Consulting Group, for a period of one year, for On Call Building Plan
Check and Inspection Services, is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) in accordance with (a) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(bX3), the general rule that
CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment and (b) CEQA
Guidelines Section 15268, because the proposed Amendment No.1 involves the issuance of
building permits which is a ministerial action; and
2. Approve Amendment No. I renewing the existing Services Agreement between the City of
Vernon and Interwest Consulting Group, for a period of one year, for On Call Building Plan
Check and Inspection Services. As revised, the contract would expire, effective July 1 , 201 5.
Background
The City has an existing contract with Interwest Consulting Group for On Call Building Plan
Check and Inspection Services. The current contract allows the City to renew the contract for two
additional one year periods. City staff is seeking approval to renew the contract for a one year period.
Interwest Consulting Group was initially selected through a competitive selection process. The
then-Community Services and Water Department (current Department of Public Works, Water, and
Development Services) issued a Request for Proposal for On Call Building Plan Check and Inspection
Services. Six firms submitted proposals and ultimately JAS Pacific and Interwest Consulting Group were
selected for the subject work. During the course of the year, Interwest Consulting Group has performed
well and it is recommended that the contract be renewed for a one year period. The fee for these services
will remain unchanged.
Fiscal Impact
The total cost for services for the renewal period shall not exceed $50,000.00. The amount of
work varies greatly from month to month, but it is anticipated that the actual costs of services will be
much less than the not to exceed amount. The total amount of work performed during the 20 1 3 - 1 4 year
was approximately $12,500.00, and this included Interwest Consulting Group providing a full time
electrical inspector for a little over a month while the City recruited a new individual to fill this position.
It is not anticipated that this service will be required during the proposed renewal term. The Department
budgeted funds for this service in the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget.

renewal term.

Agreement shall remain in fullforce and effect.
3. The provisions of this Amendment No. 1 shall constitute the entire agreement of
the parties with respect to the subject matter included in this Amendment No. I and shall
supersede any other agreement, understanding, or arrangement, whether written or oral, between

A broad outreach to potential candidates was conducted resulting in over forty-one (41)
applications being received. Thirty-three (33) applicants met the City's minimum qualifications
for the position. Those applications were reviewed with Human Resowces staff and seven (7)
candidates were invited to participate in an outside interview screening-panel. The outside
interview panel consisted of subject matter experts from the City of Long Beach, City of
Glendale and City of Anaheim, in addition to the City Administrator and Director of Human
Resources. The four (4) highest-ranking candidates were referred to the final interview selection
with the City Council.
The City Council conducted interviews with the four highest-ranking candidates at a special City
Council meeting held on June 12, 2014. After thorough consideration and deliberation, the City
Council unanimously determined Hema P. Patel to be the best qualified candidate to meet the
needs of the City and the City Attomey's Offrce. As such, the City Council directed the Human
Resources Director to pursue the employment of Hema P. Patel as the City Attorney for City of
Vernon, subject to approval of an At-Will Employment Agreement.
The At-Will Employment Agreement for City Auorney has been executed by Ms. Patel and is
attached hereto as Exhibit B of the resolution for City Council's approval. The Agreement is
consistent with other City of Vernon executive employment contracts, with the exception of two
modifications. The first modification relates to the term. Most of the existing executive
employment contracts provide a three-year term. However, because the Agreement is for at-will
employment and expressly sets forth the provisions for termination by the City or resignation by
the employee, a specified term is unnecessary. As such, only the effective date is included in the
Agreement with Ms. Patel. The second modification relates to the removal of the provision
regarding exclusive employment. Exclusive employment provisions were used more regularly in
the past, but are typically no longer part of City Attorney employment agreements. This section
has been replaced with a "Conflict of Interest" provision in accordance with the Government
Code, FPPC regulations and rules of professional conduct. The Agreement establishes a starting
salary of $246,000 per year, plus all benefits provided to executive personnel.
As a senior associate, Ms. Patel has experience both with private and public sector clients in the
areas of transactional and litigation issues in municipal and environmental law, government
investigations, and professional liability matters. She has accumulated broad experience in labor
and employment, real estate, and regulatory and legislative issues at the state and federal level.
Ms. Patel possesses strong analytical skills common to a litigator and transactional afiorney,
well as the understanding of municipal issues that are important, especially to the City
Vernon.
Of note, Ms. Patel represented the City of Vernon during during the State's efforts to dis-
incorporate the City. During that time, she became intimately familiar with the City of Vernon's
organization, operations, policies and procedures, and personnel. She has worked closely with
the City of Vernon's executive team and elected officials to further Vernon's efforts to become a
model of good governance. Ms. Patel also assisted the City with regard to several major state
as
of
agency audits concerning the management and finances of the City and its Gas & Electric
Department, as well as employment and contracting practices.
Given Ms. Patel's qualifications, work experience, and familiarity with many of the City's recent
issues and challenges, she is well suited to meet the legal needs of the City and assist with the
furtherance of the City's good govemance reforms. Ms. Patel's professionalism and positive
attitude will be a valuable addition to the Vernon team and the City Afforney's Office.
Fiscal Impact
The approximate cost to approve the hiring of a City Attorney is $246,000, plus fringe benefits,
and has been included in the budget for FY 2014-2105.

FROM:
RE:
July 15,2014
Honorable Mayor and City Council
William Fox, Director of Finance N+
Amendment No. I to the existing services agreement between the City of
Vernon and Vasquez & Company LLP for professional auditing services for
fiscal years 2013 - 2015
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
l. Find the proposed Amendment No. 1is exempt under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061 (bX3), the general rule that CEQA only
applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment: and
2. Approve Amendment No. I to the services agreement between the City of Vernon and
Vasquez & Company LLP ("Vasquez") for professional auditing services for fiscal years
2Ol3 - 2015 (the "Agreement"), in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for the
purpose of performing an internal controls review that will assist in identifying potential
fraud risks and mitigating controls that could impact City operations. This contract
amendment will increase the compensation amount for fiscal year 2014-2015 by $20,000, for
a grand total of $ I 1 8,1 59.00 for fiscal year 2014 - 2015.
Backsround
-
The City issued a Request for Proposals in May 2013 for professional auditing services. The
Agreement was ultimately awarded to Vasquez & Company LLP, effective August 6,2073, for a
three year period. At the time the Agreement was entered into, the scope of the work included
independent auditing services in order provide an opinion on the City's financial statements as
required under Federal and State law. The current fiscal year is the third year of the three year
agreement. The cost for independent audit services for fiscal year 2014-2015 is 598,159, as
previously approved by City Council as part of the three year agreement.
In addition to the independent audit services, staff has determined that a Fraud Risk Assessment
for fiscal year 2014-2015 is also necessary. The Fraud Risk Assessment goes beyond the scope
of the independent audit services provided for in the existing Agreement, and the proposed
Amendment No. 1 would allow Vasquez to perform the additional work at an amount not to
exceed $20,000. The additional funding being requested is necessary to determine that the City's
internal controls to safeguard assets and mitigate potential fraudulent activities are in place and
working as intended. Such a study minimizes the City's exposure to potential fraud conditions
through the identification and recommendations made to address any potential areas of concern.
In the January 31, 2074, management comment letter prepared by Vasquez, the following
observation was made:
"Management, along with the City Council, is responsible for designing and
implementing systems and procedures for the prevention and detection of fraud.
Although the City already has components of an antifraud program in place (e.g., code of
conduct and ethics, background checl<s, etc.), its approach to fraud is informal. The City
does not have a systematic and ongoing fraud risk assessment process which linl<s
control activities to identified fraud risl<s."
As such, Vasquez recommended, and staff concurs, that the City should formalize and expand its
ongoing fraud risk assessment program. A risk assessment process will need to be conducted at
significant account levels, and it should identify fraud risks that are more than remote and more
than inconsequential in amount. Such a fraud risk assessment would be based on schemes and
scenarios rather than on control risk or inherent risk, and consider vulnerability to management
override and opportunities to circumvent internal control safeguards. After conducting and
documenting this formal analysis, the City should identify processes, controls, and other
procedures that are needed to mitigate any identified risks. The completion of this study will
result in the City having an increased understanding of risks. Recommendations will be made to
address any weaknesses that may be identified.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact of performing the fraud risk assessment is an amount not to exceed $20,000.
Approval of the proposed amendment would increase the total contract amount for fiscal year
2Ol4-15 to $ I 18,159, thereby increasing the grand total compensation for the three-year term of
the agreement to $314,559. This increase of $20,000 is the only additional amount anticipated
during fiscal year 2014-2015.
Conclusion
Conducting a fraud risk assessment will provide the City with an independent and professional
examination of the internal controls, work processes, and procedures in place. Performing such
an examination is a testimonial to the City Council, management, and the public of the
commitment to good governance reforms and transparency.

Dear Mr. Fox:
We look forward lo the opportunity to assist you in identifying specific fraud risks that would be
detrimental to the City of Vernon in achieving its objectives. This letter outlines our understanding of the
terms and objectives of our engagement.
Periodic fraud risk exposure assessment is one of the key principles to identify potential s€hemes, threats
and fraud indicators, and also to koep an organization's fraud risk management ftame$/ork up to datg with
the appropriate mitigating controls. The mere act o, cooducting a fraud risk assessment may also act as
a detorrent to potenthl perpetrato.s of fraud. Although complete elimination of all fraud rlsks ls most likely
unachrevabl€ or uneconomical, a proactive approach to managing lraud risk is a positive and constructive
step to reduce the City's exposure to fraudulent activities
We plan to start the engagement on or about June 30, 20'14 and (unless unfo.eseeabte problems are
encouniersd) complet€ the €ngagem€nt by July 31, 2014. Our sBrvic€s will be performed in a structured

controls and reduce the risk of fraud
ln conJunction with the above activities, we wrll consider and evaluate tha Citys process for moniloring
and controlling fraud risks. lo pedorming this service, we will begin by interviewing City personnel and
reviewing available doclJmentation. An effective fraud risk ass€ssment requires consideration not onty of
specifrc fraud schemes lhat cluld be perpetrated but also the pgople within the organizalion that couldcommit them. We may therefo.e interview various levels of management across the City,s business
fu-nctions. We will also inspect and observe selected processing activiiies and facilities, and p€rIorm testsof individual bansaclpns to facrlitate our complet€ undsrstandi;g of lhe systems and procEsses. we wrlllhen identify opportunities (risks) for the commission ol fraud. cvaluate th; City,s processes ot mitjgating,controlling and monitoring those risks, and suggEsl ways in which lhe clty might improve its f.aud riskmanagement system.

and procedures to each of the City's recognized labor organizations in order to meet in good faith
on policies requiring a meet and confer process, and to receive employee comment regarding the
adoption ofsuch policies and procedures.
As of July 9, 2014, City staff received input and proposed revisions from each recognized

twelve months (consecutive or non-consecutive) and has worked a minimum of 1,250 hours
during the 12-month period immediately preceding the effective date of a leave request.
Although pregnancy disability is a serious health condition under the FMLA, FEHA separately provides
for up to 4 months of unpaid leave for a pregnancy disability (PDL). FEHA pregnancy disability leave (PDL)
runs concurrently with FMLA leave. This distinction shall apply if necessary to any determination of leave
benefits under this policy.
2Words used in the policy will have the meaning as assigned to them by the FMLA (29 U.S.C. SS
2601-26541, the CFRA (California Government Code SS 12945.2 and 19702 3) and FEHA (California

Serious Health Condition3 - an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that
involves:
1. lnpatient care (an overnight stay) in a hospital, hospice, or residential health care facility,
including any period of incapacity or any subsequent treatment in connection with such
inpatient care; or
2. Continuing treatment or continuing supervision by a health care provider for a serious health
condition including:
A. A period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days and any subsequent
treatment or period of incapacity relating to the same condition; or

condition that requires periodic visits for treatment by a health care provider over an
extended and/or episodic period (e.9. asthma, diabetes, epilepsy), or
C. A period of incapacity which is permanent or long-term due to a condition for which
treatment may not be effective (e.9. Alzheimer's, severe stroke, terminal cancer), or
D. A period of absence to receive multiple treatments for an injury or condition which would

for cancer, physical therapy for severe arthritis, or dialysis for kidney disease).
Short term conditions requiring only brief treatment and recovery such as the common cold, the
flu, earache, upset stomach, minor ulcers, headaches, routine dental or orthodontia are not

take effect and based upon review of business considerations and the individual circumstances
involved, determination will be made by the City Administrator. Except for those employees
designated as "highly" compensated employees (as defined in Section 8, subsection 1, infra),
employees will be returned to the same or to an equivalent position.
Family or medical leave will consist of utilizing appropriate accrued paid leave and unpaid leave.
For FMLA leaves of absence that are based on an employee's own serious health condition,
employees are required to use their accrued leaves included but not limited to paid sick leave first,
and then any other accrued leave, in the order of the employee's choosing. The remainderof the
leave period will then consist of unpaid leave.
1. ELIGIBILITY & ENTITLEMENT - All employees who meet the applicable time of service
requirements may be granted family or medical leave consisting of appropriate accrued paid leave
and unpaid leave, for a period of up to twelve (12) weeks. The lowest time increment allowed for
intermittent FMLA leaves is one (1) hour (during any 12-month period) for any of the following
reasons:
A. Familv and Medical Leave
1) The birth of the employee's child and in order to care for the child
2) The placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care. Foster care
must be by a formal agreement between the foster parent and the State, County, or
licensed foster care placement agency.
3) To care for a spouse, child or parent who has a serious health condition.
4) A serious health condition that renders the employee incapable of performing the
functions of his or her job.
5) Any spouse, son, daughter, or parent of the employee serving in the regular Armed
Forces (including the National Guard and Reserves) who has been notified of an
impending call to active duty status in support of a contingency operation or
deployment to a foreign country.
6) An eligible employee who is the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of a
Armed Forces service member who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation or
therapy for a serious injury or illness sustained in the line of duty while on active duty
is entitled up to 26 weeks of leave in a single 12-month period to care forthe service
member. The veteran must have been a member of the Armed Forces (including the
National Guard or Reserves) at any time within five (5) years preceding his or her
treatment for the serious injury or illness. An employee may also take this leave to
care for an active service member or veteran who had a pre-existing injury that is
aggravated while on active duty.
Eligible employees who work less than full time (40 hours per week) are entitled to utilize
accrued paid leave(s) and will be compensated atthe current rate of pay. Forexample, if
Number: !1f Elfective Dqte:
an employee works 25 hours perweek, his or her leave period will consist of 12 weeks of
25 hours (300 hours).
lf both parents are employed by the City, the combined leave for both employees for the
birth, adoption, foster care placement of their child, or for care of a sick parent, may not
exceed 1 2 weeks. However, any unused portion of either employee's 12-week entitlement
would still be available for other authorized leave purposes.
B. California Preqnancv DisabiliW Leave (PDL)
All female employees, regardless of service time, are eligible to take an unpaid leave on
account of a disability caused or contributed to by pregnancy, childbirth, or recovery there
from for a reasonable period of time not to exceed four (4) months or 88 days. Such leave
may be taken intermittently or used for a reduced work schedule, when medically advisable.
Pregnancy disability leave is separate from family and medical leave. For example, a female
employee may qualify for up to four (4) months of pregnancy disability leave, and still be
eligible for up to 12 weeks of family and medical leave to care for the newborn child or any
other valid use of family and medical leave.
The employee may request a transfer to a less hazardous or strenuous position if she is
capable of working in such a position even though she is temporarily disabled due to
pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition.
C. California Familv Riqhts Act (CFRA)
Employees with at least one year of service are eligible for 12 weeks of job-protected leave to
bond with a newborn. CFRA runs concurrently with FMLA for a non-pregnancy leave. For a
pregnancy leave, CFRA begins after the pregnancy disability ends, and can be used solely to
bond with a newborn.
D. Other
Employees not eligible for FMLA, PDL or CFRA may request leave under Human Resources
General Leave Policy.
2. ENTITLEMENT PERIOD
The 12-month period in which an eligible employee is entitled to family and medical leave will
commence with the first day on which any such leave is taken. The balance of any such leave
not taken shall be available for the remainder of the commenced 12-month period.
Leaves for the birth, adoption, or placement of a child must conclude no later than twelve
months after the date of the birth or placement of the child.

SUBJECT: GENERAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE
PURPOSE:
To provide uniform guidelines for management, supervisory, and other employees in requesting
and approving/disapproving leaves of absences.
POLICY:
Based upon the needs of the City and at the discretion of the City, a personal leave of absence
may be granted for good cause to an employee who has worked at least one year. The leave of
absence shall not exceed one year (365 days).
Nothing in this policy shall alter or replace language contained in the City's vacation and sick leave
policies or respective Memorandum of Understandings.
1. REQUESTING/GRANTING LEAVE
It is the policy of the City of Vernon to consider an employee's request for a leave of absence
on an individual case-by-case basis. lt is the responsibility of the employee to request the
leave in writing through their immediate supervisor. The request must sufficiently explain the
reason for the leave, and the anticipated date of return to work. Absent such a request from
the employee, the employee will be considered to have voluntarily resigned.
The supervisor will then forward the written request to the Department Head for consideration.
Approval of such a request for leave is discretionary (i.e., an employee is not entitled to such
a leave of absence) unless entitled to under the law as part of a reasonable accommodation
under the ADA, FEHA, FMLA, CFRA or other applicable law.
Factors to be considered in the approval or denial of a request include, but are not limited to:
A. An attending physician's medical appraisal concerning what restrictions, if any, apply to the
employee's current employment and the employee's ability to return to work;
B. The ability of the department to function without the employee;
C. The employee's work history, including length of service.
2.
D. The ability of the department to reasonably accommodate the employee's request by
reassignment of duties or hiring of temporary or parttime employees; or
E. Any other job-related factor or consideration that would substantially affect the City's ability
to operate safely and efficiently.
The following is the level of approval required for the granting of leaves of absence for
general and safety employees:
A. Department Head - May approve requests for up to 3o-consecutive calendar-days, which
includes prior leaves under other policies taken for the same reason.
B, City Administrator - May approve requests for up to one year. The one year period
includes the prior leaves taken under other policies for the same reason. For example, a
Department Head may grant an employee 30-consecutive calendar-days of leave, and the
City Administrator may approve additional 335-consecutive calendar-days of leave, which
would total 365 consecutive days of leave.
The following is the level of approval required for the granting of leaves of absence for
Department Heads:
A. City Administrator - May approve requests for up to 3O-consecutive calendar-days, which
includes prior leaves under other policies taken for the same reason.
B. Citv Council - May approve requests for up to one year. The one year period includes the
prior leaves taken for the same reason. For example, the City Administrator may grant an
employee 3O-consecutive calendar-day leave; and the City Council may grant an employee
an additional 33S-consecutive calendar-days of leave which would total 365-consecutive
calendar-days of leave (i.e., one year).
Leave taken under the Family and Medical Leave policy shall be counted as time allotted
under this policy.
CONCURRENT USE OF PAID AND OTHER LEAVE
Employees are required to use applicable accrued leaves while on leave of absence,
including but not limited to sick leave first, and then any other accrued leave, in the order of
the employee's choosing. When an employee has exhausted applicable accrued leaves, the
remainder of the leave period will then consist of unpaid leave. Such concurrent use of paid
leave may not contradict provisions of any applicable long or short term disability policies.

BENEFITS COVERAGE DURING LEAVE
During authorized leave under this policy, an employee will be retained on the City's health
plan under the same conditions that applied before leave commenced To continue health
coverage, the employee must continue to make any contributions (if any) that they made to
the plan before taking leave; failure to do so may result in loss of coverage.

by the City.

leave, notification must be given to the employee's supervisor at least five (5) working days
prior to the employee's revised return date.
EXTENSION OF LEAVE
Employees may request an extension of their leave request in the same manner as the initial
request. Unless approved by the City Administrator leave requests may not exceed a

CITY ADMINISTRATION
DATE:

F'ROM:
RE:
July 1,2014
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
Ordinance to Establish the Vernon and Industry Commission and to
Speciff the Membership and Duties of Said Commission
Recommendations
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Find that approval and subsequent adoption of the proposed ordinance establishing the
Vernon Business and Industry Commission is exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA
only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment.
2) Hold the first reading of, and subsequently adopt, the attached ordinance establishing the
Vernon Business and Industry Commission and specifying the membership and duties of
said Commission.
Background
In April 2}ll, during the early stages of the good govemance reform efforts, the City adopted
Resolution No. 2011-69, which, among other things, called for the establishment of a six-member
Ad Hoc Advisory Committee on Electric Rates (ERC) and a l0-member Ad Hoc Advisory
Committee for Business Development (BDC).
The ERC was directed to review current electric rate pricing and make recorrmendations to City
Council within 60 days of its first meeting regarding adjustments to rates to reflect current operating
costs, emission reduction requirements, and greenhouse gas regulations. The ERC held its first
meeting on May 5, 20ll and fulfilled its directive on June 23, 2011, providing a joint
recommendation with the Director of Vernon Gas & Electric to increase electric rates effective July
l, 2Ol1 and January l, 2012. At the request of the Committee members and with the concurrence
of City staff and the City Council, the ERC has continued to meet on a quarterly basis to review and
discuss electric rate pricing and various elements impacting rates.
The BDC was directed to explore ways to improve the business climate in the City and make the
City more attractive to business and employees and make recommendations to the City Council
within 180 days of its first meeting. In his January 2012 report the City's Independent Reform
Monitor, John Van de Kamp, recommended that the BDC also be tasked with reviewing the City's
financial situation and making recommendations to the City Council regarding new revenue
possibilities. The BDC held its first meeting on January 25,2012 and, in attempts to formulate
recommendations to the City Council, held discussions at subsequent meetings regarding
amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, the City's financial challenges, possible new
revenue sources, potential marketing strategies, a potential amendment to the Los Angeles County
Sanitation Districts' connection fee ordinance, and the potential impacts of proposed transportation
projects within the region.
In the early part of 2013, the attendance of BDC members declined and the City was unable to get a
quorum for several consecutive meetings. Recognizing a need to retool the composition and focus
of the Committee, the BDC has been dark since 2013, while City staff worked to develop an
alternative recorlmendation.
Looking at the vitality of the ERC and other City boards established pursuant to the good
governance reforms (i.e. Vernon Housing Commission and Green Vernon Commission), it is
evident the 1O-member composition of the BDC was too large. It also stands to reason that any new
board should be provided a more detailed set of duties, while keeping the overall framework
sufficiently broad so as to allow appropriate flexibility for the board members, City Council, and
City staff to address and assign mafiers as they arise.
Proposed New Vernon Business and Industrv Commission
In developing the new proposed ordinance, City staff reviewed similar commissions and
commiffees in other jurisdictions, specifically looking at the composition and duties of each. City
staff also received feedback from the heads of the various City departments that may be required to
provide staff support services and participate in Commission meetings.
City staff proposes to consolidate elements of the ERC and BDC into one new board titled, the
Vemon Business and Industry Commission, which will replace the two existing Committees. The
membership, duties, and overall structure align very closely to the Vernon Housing Commission,
the recently renamed Green Vemon Commission, and the recently established Vemon
Comm[INITY Fund Grant Committee, and are outlined below.
1. Pumose. The Vernon Business and lndustry Commission is intended to make the City more
attractive to employees, businesses, and investors, while appropriately considering the needs
and concerns of the residential communities within and in close proximity to Vernon.
2. Membership. The Commission shall consist of seven members who meet the following
criteria and are appointed by the City Council:
a. Three individuals, each of whom represents the owner or operator of a business
located in Vernon;
b. Two individuals, each of whom has knowledge of the Vernon real estate market;c. One individual who is employed by a business located in Vernon and who is a
member of a labor union that represents workers at that same business; and
d. One current member of the Vernon City Council.
J.
4.
5.
Terms. Each member shall serve a four-year term beginning July 1 and ending four years
thereafter on June 30. No member shall serve more than two full consecutive terms.
a. Staggered Terms. To provide for staggered terms, three of the initial seven members
shall be assigned a two-year term ending June 30,2016. The other four members'
terms would end June 30,2018.
Chairperson. Vice Chairperson and Officers. The Chairperson and Vice Chairperson shall
be from different appointing categories and shall be elected annually. The officers shall be
the Secretary, Executive Director and Commission Counsel, which shall be filled by the City
Clerk, City Administrator and City Attorney, respectively, or their respective designees.
Duties. The Commission's primary duty shall be to advise, assist, and make
recommendations to the City staff and City Council regarding ways to make the City more
attractive to employees, businesses, and investors, while appropriately considering the needs
and concems of the residential communities within and in close proximity to Vernon, and
while focusing its efforts on the following areas:
Long range land use planning.
Retention and expansion of business and industrial base.
Targeted recruitment and marketing to potential businesses.
General marketing and public relations.
e. Taxes, fees, and utility rates.
f. Federal, state, and local incentive/rebate programs to foster business development
and retention.
g. Workforcedevelopment.
h. Public/private partnerships.i. Long term stability of a positive business climate.j. Impact of business development on residential communities within and in close
proximity to Vemon.
The Commission shall also provide a forum for addressing public concerns related to the
City's business and industrial development related costs, procedures, and activities,
participate in annual independent audit report activities as directed, and perform other such
duties as assigned by the City Council.
Meetings. The Commission shall meet at least twice a year at City Hall.
Compensation. With the exception of the Council member and City officers, Commission
members shall receive $100 per meeting, up to a maximum of $200 in any calendar month,
as well as any actual and necessary expenses incurred, consistent with the City's Expense
Reimbursement Policy.
Conflict of Interest Code. The Commission shall be subject to the disclosure requirements
or a conflict of interest code adopted by the Commission, unless the City Council has
already adopted a conflict of interest code that expressly applies to all Commission
members, which the City staff intends to propose in the fall of 2014.

Next Steps
Upon City Council adoption of the proposed ordinance creating the Vernon Business and Industry
Commission, City staff would broadly solicit interest from individuals believed to meet the
eligibility requirements of the aforementioned appointment categories. Staff would then present a
compilation of interested and qualified individuals to City Council for appointment. Upon the
appointment of all seven members, staff would seek hold the Commission's first meeting as soon as
practicable, along with any orientation or training sessions that may be required or appropriate.
Fiscal Impact
As currently drafted, other than the $100 meeting stipends, there would be no fiscal impact
associated with the proposed ordinance establishing the Vernon Business and Industry Commission.

Ordinance Approving City of Vernon Speed Limits
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
l. Find that adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) in accordance with Class I, Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, California
Code of Regulations, Title 14. Projects exempted under Class l, Section 15301(c), consist of the
operation, repair, or minor alteration of existing highways, streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle
and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use.
2. Hold the first reading of, and subsequently adopt the proposed Ordinance amending Sections
16.15, 16.16 and 16.17 of Chapter 16, Law Enforcement, of the Vernon Municipal Code.
Background
In most cases, the statutory prima facie speed limit for non-local city streets is 25 miles per hour.
(California Vehicle Code ["CVC"] Section 22352(b)). The City of Vernon has the authority to establish, by
ordinance, prima facie speed limits that are lower or higher than the statutory speed limits if the limits
would "would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon
any street." CVC Section22357 specifies that the City may establish the revised prima facie speed limits
upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS).
The E&TS, as defined in CVC Section 627, must incorporate prevailing speeds, collision records, highway,
traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver and residential density except in a business
district. The accepted practice is to set piima-facie speed limits based on the 85th percentile speed, which is
the speed that 85oh of the vehicles are traveling at or below unless unusual conditions not readily apparent
to drivers are present. This is known as the critical speed. From experience, traffic engineers have
determined that this critical speed is the most reliable speed to set an appropriate speed limit to allow
orderly movement of traffic with the highest safety level taking into consideration unusual conditions not
readily apparent to drivers, such as road conditions and the history of collisions of the roadway. However,
CVC Section 40802 does not allow the creation of a "speed trap", which is a particular section of highway
that has a prima facie speed limit that is not justified by an E&TS within five years prior to the date of the
alleged violation. Per CVC Section 40802, an E&TS must be performed at least once every five (5) years
(or less often in certain circumstances not applicable here) by local agencies to re-evaluate non-statutory
speed limits on segments of their roadways.
The City of Vernon last performed an E&TS in 2009. In March 2014,the City secured the traffic consulting
services of Hartzog & Crabill, Inc. to re-evaluate the speed limits.
As described in the attached E&TS, Hartzog& Crabill, Inc. measured the speeds of vehicles from 46
different roadway segments on22 different collectors and arterials in the City. The data was collected at
free flowing points in the roadway segments on week days and off peak hours with fair weather conditions.
An unmarked car with an inconspicuous speed meter was used. The speed meter was validated for accuracy
before each use. As described in the E&TS, recent changes to the policy and procedure for setting speed
limits in California require that E&TSs "must be performed with the use of radar or other approved
electronic devices if the use of radar is to be employed to enforce speed limits." If such a survey is not
performed within the statutory time period from the date of the preceding survey, then the new data and its
use will constitute a speed trap and evidence using such would not be admissible in court.
Based on the E&TS, the consultant recommends the following changes to the speed limits posted in the
specified City roadways:
Pennington Way from 26th Street to Bandini Boulevard Post speed limit at 35 mph.
Note: This is not a change in speed limit in the ordinance but rather a notice to City staffthat the speed limit
must be posted in order to be enforceable pursuant to CVC Section 22352.
38th Street from Santa Fe Avenue to BNSF Railroad tracks Recommended speed limit decrease
from 40 to 35 mph
Boyle Avenue from Vernon Avenue to Leonis Blvd Recommended speed limit decrease
from 35 mph to 30 mph
The Pennington Way segment was not included in the E&TS completed in2009. Additionally, the
ordinance reflects minor changes and corrections to the roadway limits shown in the current City Code.
Except when passing a school building or senior center, the revised prima facie speed limits shall be
effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street.
Fiscal Impact
Adoption of this Ordinance will have no direct fiscal impact except for the minimal cost of posting new
signage on the affected streets.

CITY OF VERNON
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY FOR SPEED LIMITS
In accordance with procedures established by the State of California, this Engineering and Traffic
Survey has been developed for the City of Vernon as the basis for the establishment and
enforcement of speed limits for selected streets within the City. The work provided herein was
authorized by the City and was performed by the engineering consulting firm of Hartzog &
Crabill, Inc. The goal of the review was to determine whether changes in pre-existing conditions
have occurred where older speed limits should be modified.
The requirement to perform Engineering and Traffic surveys for speed limits is based on the
California Vehicle Code (CVC). CVC Section 40802 states that at least once every five (5), seven
(7) or ten (10) years, States and local agencies should re-evaluate non-statuary speed limits on
segments of their roadways. Recent changes to the CA. MUCTD changed the policy and
procedure for setting speed limits in California. Engineering and Traffic Surveys must be
performed with the use of radar or other approved electronic devices if the use of radar is to be
employed to enforce speed limits. If such a survey is not performed within five years (or seven
years, or ten years as stated previously) of the date of the preceding survey, then the new data and
its use will constitute a speed trap. Hence, evidence using such would not be admissible in court.
From the Vehicle Code, a "speed trap" is either of the following:
(a) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked,
designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by
securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance.
(b) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit provided by this code or by
local ordinance under sub-paragraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 22352, or
established pursuant to Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3 if that prima facie speed limit is
not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of
the alleged violation, and where enforcement involves the use of radar or other electronic devices
that measures the speed of moving objects. This paragraph does not apply to a local street, road,
or school zone.
The definition of a Traffic and Engineering Survey is contained in Section 627 of the Vehicle
Code and is as follows:
Engineering and Traffic survey, as used in this code, means a survey of highway and traffic
conditions in accordance with methods determined by the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) for use by State and local authorities. An engineering and traffic survey shall include,
among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of the following:
(a) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements.
(b) Accident records.
(c) Highway, traffic and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.
2
The California Vehicle code has set certain regulations regarding the posting and enforcement of
speed zones. These regulations generally reflect the viewpoint that speed zoning should be
based on traffic conditions and natural driver behavior and not because of an arbitrary response
to a traffic event or occurrence. Therefore, it is important to have a general understanding of the
"Basic Speed Law", "Prima Facie Speed Limits" and "Intermediate Speed Zones".
Basic Speed Law (CVC 22350)
All fifty states base their speed regulations on the Basic Speed Law. In California, CVC 22350
defines the basic speed law as:
"No Person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent
having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of the
highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property."
This law recognizes that driving conditions vary widely from time-to-time and place-to-place
and, therefore, no set of fixed driving rules will adequately serve all conditions. The motorist
will constantly adjust their driving behavior to fit the conditions encountered, and must learn to
do this with a minimum of assistance from the police. The Basic Speed Law is founded on the
belief that a majority of motorists are able to modify their driving behavior properly, as long as
they are aware of the conditions around them.
Prima Facie Speed Limits (CVC 22352)
All other speed limits are prima facie limits which, "on the face of it", are reasonable and prudent
under normal conditions. The opportunity given to the driver to exceed a prima facie speed limit
when it is safe to do so recognizes the fact that any posted speed limit cannot adequately reflect
the many different conditions of traffic, weather, visibility, etc., that may be found on the same
highway at different times.
Certain prima facie limits are automatically established by law (CVC 22352), including a 15
mph limit in alleys, blind intersections, blind railroad crossing, and the 25 mph limit in business
and residence districts. There is also a part time 25 mph limit in school zones when children are
present in route to or from school.
Business and residence districts are defined in the Vehicle Code as specific areas meeting a
specified minimum density of roadside development. CVC Sections 235 and 515 define these
regulations. A count of houses or active businesses facing on a highway must be made to
determine whether or not a valid business or residence district exists. The law does not require
posting these prima facie limits that are readily apparent.
Establishment of Speed Zones
The reason that speed limit areas and their required postings are done is to guard reasonable
drivers from the unreasonable behavior of reckless, unreliable, or otherwise dangerous drivers.
As with other similar laws, the limits identified are based on the consensus of the majority of
3
those who drive the highway as to what speed is reasonable and safe. It is this type of
information that is reflected in the analysis section of this report. Namely, posted speed limits
are a reflection of that speed which most people deem to be safe as opposed to a minority of
drivers who do not drive in a reasonable manner.
Speed zones are also established to advise drivers of road conditions or hazards that may not be
readily apparent to a reasonable driver. For that reason, a field review of related road/traffic
variables is conducted which considers the analytical data and accident history of a particular
roadway segment to determine a safe and reasonable speed limit.
Data Collection Procedures
Speed evaluation data was collected at 46 different survey segments on 21 different roadways in
the City of Vernon. These areas and the number of segments on each are described as follows:
1. 25th St (1) 12. Downey Rd (3)
2. 26th St (4) 13. Fruitland Ave (4)
3. 37th St (2) 14. Leonis Blvd (2)
4. 38th St (2) 15. Pacific Blvd (1)
5. 55th St (1) 16. Pennington Way (1)
6. Alameda St (3) 17. Santa Fe Ave (3)
7. Alcoa Ave (2) 18. Slauson Ave (1)
8. Atlantic Ave (1) 19. Soto St (2)
9. Bandini Blvd (3) 20. Vernon Ave (3)
10. Boyle Ave (3) 21. Washington Blvd (1)
11. District Blvd (3)
As described in various traffic engineering documents - including information provided by the
State of California, the individual locations on which radar data collection procedures were used
involved considerations for the following:
a. Stop sign or traffic signal locations;
b. Visibility issues;
c. Traffic flow at intersections, cross-traffic, major driveways, crosswalks, railroad crossings
and unusual turning movements;
d. The influence of other traffic factors on the speed of cars: such as on street parking, roadway
features, adjacent land uses, and lighting.
Speed Zoning Methodology
The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA. MUTCD) specifies a “short
method of determining speed limits on City and County through Highways, Arterial and
Collector Roads Procedures.
Introduction - This short method of speed zoning is based on the premise that the reasonable
speed limit is one that conforms to the actual behavior of the majority of motorists, and that by
measuring motorist’s speeds, one will be able to select a speed limit that is both reasonable and
4
effective. Other factors that need to be considered include, but are not limited to: the most recent
three-year collision record, roadway design speed, safe stopping sight distance, superelevation,
shoulder conditions, profile conditions, intersection spacing and offsets, commercial driveway
characteristics, pedestrian traffic in the roadway without sidewalks.
Speed Zone Survey
- Only one person is required for the fieldwork. Speeds can be read directly from a radar speed
meter.
- A section of road should be selected with representative operating speeds. If speeds vary on a
given road, additional surveys should be conducted. In this case, it may be necessary to establish
additional speed zones with different speed limits. The section selected should be straight and
should have no traffic signal, stop sign or intersection with a major cross street.
- Speed measurements should be taken during off-peak hours on weekdays. The weather should
be fair with no unusual conditions prevailing. It is important that the surveyor and his equipment
be so inconspicuous as not to affect traffic speeds. For this reason, an unmarked car is
recommended, with the radar speed meter located as inconspicuously as possible. It should be
placed so as to be able to survey traffic in both directions, and should not make an angle greater
than 15 degrees with the roadway centerline.
- It is desirable to have a minimum sample of 100 automobiles in each survey. This may result
in excessive survey periods for low-volume roads. Under these conditions, the survey should be
conducted for a minimum of two hours, but in no case should the sample for any survey contain
less than 50 automobiles.
- The California MUTCD states that speed limits are established at or near the 85th percentile
speed, which is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. This
speed can be selected directly from the data sheet. However, roadway conditions not readily
apparent to the motorist such as vertical or horizontal curves or other roadway conditions that
may impact sight distance may result in a further reduction of 5 mph in the recommended speed
limit.
- As a check on the validity of the proposed speed limit, an analysis should be made of the two-
year accident record for the section of roadway under consideration. If this record shows an
abnormally high percentage of accidents normally associated with excessive speeds, the
proposed speed limit should be further reduced. This is a judgment situation, and will not
usually be a factor,
- Short speed zones of less than half a mile should be avoided, except in transition areas.
- Speed zone changes should be coordinated with changes in roadway conditions or roadway
development.
- Speed zoning in 5 mile per hour increments should be avoided if possible. A 10-mile per hour
increment is preferable.
- Speed zoning should be coordinated between adjacent jurisdictions.
5
Local Street Exemptions (CVC 40802)
Many streets are designated as "Local" streets per CVC 40802. These streets are exempt from
the radar study. Therefore, the speed limit for these streets does not require an Engineering and
Traffic Survey. The code is as follows:
"For the purpose of this section, local streets and roads shall be defined by the latest functional
usage and federal aid system maps as submitted to the Federal Highway Administration. When
these maps have not been submitted, the following definition shall be used: A local street or
road primarily provides access to abutting residential property and shall meet the following three
conditions:
1. Roadway width of not more than 40 feet.
2. Not more than one half mile of uninterrupted length.
3. Not more than one traffic lane in each direction.
Other Considerations
Every street should be inspected for unusual traffic, roadway and roadside conditions not readily
apparent to a motorist. A check should be made of the adequacy of traffic control devices,
roadway alignment, width surface conditions, accident history and any unique traffic hazards that
may exist. Any of these conditions may warrant the selection of a speed lower than the 85th
percentile speed for speed zoning.
Radar Collection Time Frames
The hours of radar operation were restricted to off-peak periods for heavily traveled streets and
to uncongested peak periods on lightly traveled streets. All surveys were conducted in fair
weather.
The radar unit was mounted at the top of the front dash of an unmarked vehicle with the meter-
reading unit sustained inside the vehicle. The radar unit's calibration was checked periodically
using a tuning fork.
The radar operator and assistant recorded the speed meter readings for each location on Radar
Speed Survey Field Sheets included in the appendix of this report. A representative sampling of
at least 100 vehicles were surveyed in each direction or a cumulative sample of 200 vehicles for
both directions where possible. On low volume roads, where a total sample of 200 vehicles
would result in an excessive time period, sampling was continued until a representative bell-
shaped frequency distribution was attained.
Analysis Factors
Several factors were used as input to our recommendations for speed limits. These include the
85th Percentile, the 10 MPH Pace and others. These are described in detail below.
6
1. The CRITICAL SPEED, or the 85th percentile is defined as that speed at or below which
85 percent of the traffic is moving. From experience, traffic engineers have found that this
is one of the most reliable factors in determining appropriate speed limits.
Hence, the accepted practice, and one that has been used in this case is to set the speed limit
at or near the critical speed. This recognizes that other factors could be present where the
above may not be appropriate. When this procedure is used, it not only conforms to that
required by the State but it also provides a strong base for law enforcement personnel to
properly enforce speed limits.
2. The 10 MPH PACE is that continuous 10 mph incremental range of speeds in which the
largest number of recorded vehicles is contained. It is a measure of the dispersion of speeds
within the sample surveyed. For this element, the accepted practice to the greatest extent
possible is to try and keep the recommended speed limit within the 10 mph pace after
considering the critical speed and any factors requiring a speed lower than the critical speed.
3. The MEDIAN (MIDDLE) SPEED, or 50th percentile speed, represents the mid-point value
within the range of recorded speeds for a particular roadway location. In other words, 50%
of the vehicles travel faster, and 50% travel slower than the median speeds. This value is
another measure of the central tendency of the vehicle speed distribution.
4. The 15th PERCENTILE SPEED is that speed at or below which 15% of the vehicles are
traveling. This value is important in determining the minimum allowable speed limit, given
that the vehicles traveling below this speed tend to obstruct the flow of traffic, thereby
increasing the accident potential.
5. MODAL SPEED: The modal speed is the speed, which occurs most frequently in the
distribution (the most). It serves as another useful measure in verifying the correct
recommendation for speed limits.
6. STANDARD DEVIATION: This is a mathematical element, which relates to measures of
dispersion of data. It is used to assist in describing the center of speed distribution
information around the arithmetic mean or the time mean speed. It also is used in the
overall review of recommended speed limits and serves to verify the level of confidence of
data used in making recommendations.
7. The MEAN (AVERAGE) is the sum of the speeds of the samples divided by the number of
samples.
The numerical values of the above factors are derived from the speed distribution curves
calculated for each survey location. These distribution curves represent a method of graphic
analysis that compares the cumulative percentage of vehicles to the speed at which the vehicles
are traveling.
7
Field Review
In addition to the availability of the above statistical data, a significant aspect of speed limit
recommendations is based on the field review. Its importance is that existing conditions may
warrant a lower speed than is actually indicated by the application of survey data. Examples of
the field data collected for the purposes of analyzing related roadway characteristics as they
pertain to the determination of appropriate speed limits are listed below:
1. Segment length, width and alignment
2. Level of pedestrian activity
3. Traffic flow characteristics
4. Vertical and/or horizontal curves.
5. Driver sight distance constraints.
6. Adjacent residential/commercial/industrial etc. zoning.
7. Number of lanes and other channelization/striping factors
8. Frequency of intersections, driveways and on street parking;
9. Location of stop signs, traffic signals, and other regulatory traffic control devices;
10. Roadway conditions, bumps and dips;
11. Obstructions to pedestrian visibility;
12. Land use and proximity of schools;
13. Uniformity with existing speed zones to/with adjacent jurisdictions;
14. Any other unusual conditions not readily apparent to the driver.
The results of the field review of related road/traffic variables are summarized on the
Engineering and Traffic Survey forms found in the Appendix of this report.
Accident History
The Engineering and Traffic Survey forms summarize the available two-year accident
information for the subject streets. The accident information includes the total number of
accidents within each street segment and of those accidents, the number that are speed-related.
This accident information was obtained from the Crossroads program by the City of Vernon.
The annual accident rate figures represent the number of speed-related accidents divided by
years of accident records. The evaluation of accidents is useful as a check on the accuracy of
recommended or existing speed limits. Should this review show a high percentage of accidents
associated with excessive speeds, consideration based on professional traffic engineering
judgment should be directed toward reducing the posted or recommended speed limit.
Results and Recommendations
The following Summaries: No Speed Limit Changes, New Speed Limit Postings, and Summary
of Recommendations present the results of the radar survey for the selected 44 locations. As
shown, the Summary of Recommendations chart presents the necessary analysis elements that in
addition to the field review of a registered traffic engineer led to the recommendations indicated.
8
Locations of “No Speed Limit Changes”
The Summary indicates that 44 of the 46 segments studied are recommended for no speed limit
changes. The reason centers mostly on the fact that the newly measured values of the 85th
percentile and the 10 MPH pace are still within the parameters of the existing speed limits.
Additional factors such as the presence of horizontal or vertical curves reducing sight distance form
the basis for recommendation. Therefore, the current postings should remain. The segments
recommended for “No Change” are listed below:

Support Explanations for “No Speed Limit Changes”
The following is a support explanation for the one roadway segment that the recommended speed
limit is 5 mph or more lower than the newly measured 85th percentile speed.
10
Fruitland Avenue
Downey Road to Corona Avenue
This section of Fruitland Avenue is a two lane roadway. The adjacent land uses are industrial
and business. The speed study resulted with an 85th percentile speed of 30.0 mph and a 10 mph
pace range of 20 to 29 mph. Field notes state that the roadway has gradual horizontal bends at
Carmelita Avenue and Corona Avenue and several blind driveways. The sight distance is
limited at these curves and driveways. With those factors, it is recommended that the existing 25
mph speed limit be maintained.
Locations of "New Speed Limit Postings"
One of the forty-four roadway segments is currently not posted. Again, the newly measured
values of the 85th percentile speeds and the 10 mph pace range were factors used to make these
recommendations. It is noted that for each case, the recommendation to post is necessary to
enhance the enforcement of the recommended safe speed limit. This segment is shown in the
Summary of Recommendations beginning on page 11 and as follows:
Pennington Way
26th Street to Bandini Boulevard Install New Posting of 35 mph
Support Explanations for "New Speed Limit Postings"
Pennington Way
26th Street to Bandini Boulevard
Pennington Way is a two lane roadway. This is a newly developed roadway has no posted speed
signs, moderate vertical and horizontal curves and provides access between Bandini Boulevard
and 26th Street. With the 85th percentile speed of 35.4 mph and a 10 mph pace range of 27 to 36
mph, it is recommended that a 35 mph speed limit be posted for this roadway.
Locations of Speed Limit Reductions
At one location, the Engineering and Traffic survey data indicates a need for a speed limit reduction.
This segment and reason for the recommendation is explained below:
38th Street
Santa Fe Avenue to BNSF Railroad/37th Street Reduce from 40 mph to 35 mph
Support Explanations for " Speed Limit Reductions "
38th Street
Santa Fe Avenue to BNSF Railroad to 37th Street
This section of 38th Street is a two lane roadway that travels one way eastbound. This roadway
has a gradual "C" curve that merges onto and becomes 37th Street. The adjacent land use is
solely industrial. With the speed data resulting with an 85th percentile speed of 36.8 mph and a
median speed of 31.8 mph, it is recommended that the existing 40 mph speed limit be reduced to
35 mph.
