PUBLIC HEARING 1.Public Works An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Vernon, California, adding Article VIII to Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code to Establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones and repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict therewith Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is not a “project” under CEQA, which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical 1 Regular City Council Meeting Agenda June 05, 2018 Page 2 change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. See CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project,” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the ordinance would be exempt from CEQA review, because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, especially where, as here, adoption of the ordinance is being pursued to provide the legal basis for the City to designate preferential parking zones. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the proposed ordinance involves amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, and the establishment of Preferential Parking Zones, which would authorize the City to adopt a resolution designating a specific area as a preferential parking zone and will not have any effect on the environment; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, by adding Article VIII to establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones. 1.

Find that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is continuing administrative activity that will not result in any direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378, and to the extent the Derby Dolls seek to engage in actual physical construction or development, such would be subject to separate and independent CEQA review and analysis; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance approving and authorizing the execution of a Development Agreement between the City of Vernon and the Derby Dolls for the purpose of facilitating the development of the Derby Dolls’ program and facility located at 2661 East 46th Street in the City of Vernon. 1.

Find that adoption of the resolution proposed in this staff report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because adoption of the budget is the creation of a government funding mechanism or other government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and is therefore not a “project” as defined under Section 15378(b)(4). Further, even if adoption of the budget were considered a “project,” it would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Adopt a resolution approving the citywide balanced budget for fiscal year 2018/2019, with estimated budgeted revenues and expenditures of $305,240,703. 1.

Conduct a Public Hearing; and C.

Dated this 31st day of May, 2018. By: ________________________________ Maria E. Ayala City Clerk 12 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-102-2018 Submitted by: Daniel Wall Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Vernon, California, adding Article VIII to Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code to Establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones and repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict therewith Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is not a “project” under CEQA, which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. See CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project,” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the ordinance would be exempt from CEQA review, because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, especially where, as here, adoption of the ordinance is being pursued to provide the legal basis for the City to designate preferential parking zones. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the proposed ordinance involves amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, and the establishment of Preferential Parking Zones, which would authorize the City to adopt a resolution designating a specific area as a preferential parking zone and will not have any effect on the environment; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, by adding Article VIII to establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones. Backgroud: Vernon’s uniform parking restrictions reflect the industrial nature of the City. While these restrictions serve our businesses well, they place a burden on our residents by restricting on-street parking adjacent to their homes. In order to provide the opportunity for residents to park near their homes, while continuing to restrict parking by non-residents, it is necessary to amend the municipal code to allow for the establishment of preferential parking districts. Staff proposes the following changes to Chapter 22 Streets and Sidewalks of the Municipal Code, in salient part: • The City Council may adopt a resolution designating any area as a preferential parking zone. The resolution shall state the boundaries of the area, applicable parking regulations, and any fees to be charged for permits. • The City Council may by resolution modify or terminate a preferential parking zone. 13 • The Public Works Director shall issue a preferential parking permit upon submittal of a completed application, proof of residency in the preferential parking zone, proof of vehicle registration to a residence in the preferential parking zone, and payment of any fee as prescribed by resolution of the City Council. • Preferential parking permits are issued to the vehicle and are not transferable. • Preferential Parking Permits Must be renewed annually. • Permits issued for preferential parking zones shall not be valid in loading zones or areas where parking or stopping is prohibited as posted or painted on curbs. • No vehicle shall be parked or stopped adjacent to any curb in a preferential parking zone, unless such vehicle has a valid and current preferential parking permit, or is otherwise exempt. The above proposed changes to the Municipal Code provide the City Council with the flexibility to meet the parking needs of our residents and the transportation needs of our businesses. Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact. ATTACHMENTS 1. Notice of Public Hearing - Preferential Parking Zones 2.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON, CALIFORNIA, ADDING ARTICLE VIII TO CHAPTER 22 OF THE VERNON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH RESIDENTIAL PREFERENTIAL PARKING ZONES AND REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT THEREWITH WHEREAS, the City of Vernon (the “City”) is a municipal corporation and a chartered city of the State of California organized and existing under its Charter and the Constitution of the State of California; and WHEREAS, the City currently has uniform parking restrictions, which reflect the generally industrial nature of the City; and WHEREAS, while such uniform parking restrictions serve the City’s businesses well, they place a burden on the City’s residents by restricting on-street parking adjacent to their respective homes; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to provide residents the opportunity to park near their homes, while continuing to restrict parking by non- residents; and WHEREAS, by memorandum dated June 5, 2018, the Director of Public Works has recommended the adoption of an ordinance adding Article VIII to Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code establishing residential preferential parking zones; and WHEREAS, a duly-noticed public hearing has been held to consider the proposed ordinance changes, and public testimony has been received and considered; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to add Article VIII to Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code to establish residential preferential parking zones. 16 - 2 - THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON HEREBY ORDAINS: SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds and determines that all of the foregoing recitals are true and correct. SECTION 2: The City Council finds that the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is not a “project” under CEQA, which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project,” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the ordinance would be exempt from CEQA review, because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, especially where, as here, adoption of the ordinance is being pursued to provide the legal basis for the current practice of issuing overload vehicle permits. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the Ordinance involves the establishment of Article VIII of Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code establishing preferential parking zones and will not have any effect on the environment. SECTION 3: Article VIII of Chapter 22, of the Vernon Municipal Code, is hereby added as set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. SECTION 4: Any ordinance, part of an ordinance, or code section in conflict with this Ordinance is hereby repealed. SECTION 5: Severability. If any chapter, article, section 17 - 3 - subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or word in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each chapter, article, section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more chapters, articles, sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases or words be declared unconstitutional, or invalid, or ineffective. SECTION 6: Book of Ordinances. The City Clerk shall attest and certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance and the City Clerk’s certification to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the Council of this City. The City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published or posted as required by law. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / 18 - 4 - SECTION 7: Effective Date.

Residential preferential parking zones are intended to restore and enhance the quality of life in residential neighborhoods by reducing the impact of parking associated with nearby businesses and institutional uses. The procedures and standards in this chapter are intended to provide flexibility so that the City Council may adopt by resolution, after consultation with residents and neighboring businesses and institutions, preferential parking zones that appropriately protect each neighborhood’s unique characteristics. Residential preferential parking zones should be designed to accommodate non- residential parking when this can be done while meeting the parking availability standards determined by the City to be appropriate for the zone in question. Residential preferential parking zones may be designed to reduce non-residential parking over time to give non-residential parkers time to find other modes of transportation or parking locations. Sec. 22.126. Definitions. As hereinafter used in this article, the following words are defined as follows: a) “Director” shall mean the Director of Public Works. b) “Dwelling unit” shall mean a self-contained house, apartment, stock cooperative unit, or condominium unit occupied by a single household exclusively for residential purposes. These residential purposes may include lawful home occupations. c) “Employee permit” shall mean a permit issued to an employee working at a business located within an RPP Zone or as defined in an RPP Zone-specific resolution. d) “Guest permit” shall mean a permit issued to a Resident on an annual basis for use by a person visiting a dwelling unit in an RPP Zone or for workers providing services such as caregiving, gardening, repair maintenance and construction, to the Resident. The number of guest permits issued to Residents shall be specified in administrative regulations adopted by the Director. e) “Non-resident vehicle” shall mean a vehicle operated by a person whose destination is not to a dwelling unit within the RPP Zone. f) “Resident” shall mean a natural person living in a dwelling unit in an RPP Zone. g) “Residential Preferential Parking Zone” or “RPP Zone” shall mean a geographical area in which the City Council has established a preferential parking permit system pursuant to California Vehicle Code section 22507. h) “Visitor permit” shall mean a permit issued to a Resident for use by a person visiting a dwelling unit in an RPP Zone. Sec. 22.127. RPP Zone Criteria and Proposal. The City Council may designate an area as a Residential Preferential Parking Zone based upon any one or more of the following criteria: (1) That non-resident vehicles do, or may, substantially interfere with the use of on-street or alley parking spaces by neighborhood residents; (2) That the interference by the non-resident vehicles occurs at regular and frequent intervals, either daily or weekly; 22 (3) That the non-resident vehicles parked in the area of the proposed zone create traffic congestion, noise, or other disruption (including shortage of parking spaces for residents and their visitors) that disrupts neighborhood life; (4) Other alternative parking strategies are not feasible or practical. In considering whether to create an RPP Zone, City staff shall undertake an analysis that includes, at a minimum, a narrative describing the nature and perceived source of non-resident parking impact, as well as suggested zone boundaries and hours of enforcement. Sec. 22.128. Establishment of Residential Preferential Parking Zones. (a) Adoption of Resolution Establishing Zone. Following the completion of the procedures described in Section 22.127, the City Council shall hold a public hearing on a proposed resolution to establish the residential preferential parking zone. The City Council may adopt, modify, or reject the proposed resolution. (b) Resolution. The resolution shall specify: (1) The findings that one or more of the criteria set forth in Section 22.127 have been met. (2) The term of the trial period, if applicable. (3) The boundaries and name of the residential preferential parking zone. (4) Hours and days of enforcement of parking regulations and other restrictions that shall be in effect for non-permit holders, such as two-hour parking limits, overnight parking limits, or “no re- parking” zones. (5) The number of permits, if any, to be issued to merchants or other non-residential users, which number may be scheduled to reduce over time. (6) Resident permit rates, which shall be set by City Council resolution and will be uniform across each zone. (7) Such other matters as the Council may deem necessary and desirable, including but not limited to fee rates and whether non-residential parking permits are allowed to be issued and transferred. (c) Permanent Adoption. Before the expiration of the trial period, if applicable, the City Council shall hold a noticed public hearing and determine whether the subject RPP Zone should be made permanent as originally adopted, modified or terminated. The City Council's action shall be in the form of a resolution. Sec. 22.129. Administration of Zones. (a) Issuance and Fees. (1) No permit will be issued to any applicant until that applicant has paid all of his or her outstanding parking citations, including all civil penalties and related fees.

The applicant demonstrates that he or she is currently a resident of the area for which the permit is to be issued. B. The applicant demonstrates that he or she has ownership or continuing custody of the motor vehicle for which the permit is to be issued. 23 C.

(3) Visitor or guest parking permits may be issued for those vehicles or to those individuals or households that qualify for those permits under the resolution establishing the RPP Zone. (4) Employee parking permits may be issued to those individuals and for those vehicles that qualify for such permits under the resolution establishing the RPP Zone. (b) No Guarantee of Availability of Parking.

Each permit issued pursuant to this Section shall be subject to each and every condition and restriction set forth in this Chapter and as provided for in the resolution establishing the specific RPP Zone, as may be amended from time to time. The issuance of such permit shall not be construed to waive compliance with any other applicable parking law, regulation or ordinance. (d) Exemptions.

(2) A vehicle owned or operated by a governmental agency, when used in the course of official government business. (3) A vehicle for which an authorized emergency vehicle permit has been issued by the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol, when used in the course of business. (4) A vehicle parked or standing while actively delivering materials or freight. (5) A vehicle displaying an authorized exemption permit issued by the City of Vernon. (e) Authority of Staff (1) The director is authorized to adopt administrative regulations that are consistent with the purposes of this Chapter.

Find that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is continuing administrative activity that will not result in any direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378, and to the extent the Derby Dolls seek to engage in actual physical construction or development, such would be subject to separate and independent CEQA review and analysis; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance approving and authorizing the execution of a Development Agreement between the City of Vernon and the Derby Dolls for the purpose of facilitating the development of the Derby Dolls’ program and facility located at 2661 East 46th Street in the City of Vernon. Backgroud: Derby Dolls The Derby Dolls (“DD”) is Los Angeles’ premier all-female, banked track roller derby league. Founded in 2003, DD is an entirely volunteer-run league made up of more than 150 adult and junior (ages 7 – 17) skaters and volunteers, divided into teams who skate on a banked (as opposed to flat) track. Until recently, DD’s headquarters and offices were located in El Sereno and prior to that, Historic Filipinotown. DD’s mission is to achieve the highest level of competition, integrity and production quality, while enriching the lives of its members and community through sport. With respect to community involvement and community service, the Derby Dolls host an annual health fair and, in the past, have hosted Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and the LA Domestic Violence Task Force at an LAPD appreciation luncheon. The Derby Dolls are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Mutual Benefit to Relocation DD was compelled to look for a new home when negotiations with the LA building department resulted in a change-of-use categorization that required upgrades to their facility in El Sereno which were simply cost-prohibitive. Working with DD to help them relocate to Vernon could result in significant and positive publicity for the City, given DD's strong reputation in Los Angeles for female empowerment, diversity, inclusivity, and equality across socio-economic, age, and other demographics. Zoning: Fitness and Recreational Facilities 26 As the Council may recall, it recently passed an ordinance amending the City’s Zoning Code to allow fitness and recreational facilities to exist within Vernon. DD’s facility would fall into this new zoned category. Summary of Development Agreement Staff and DD have negotiated a development agreement (the “Agreement”) in order to (a) provide incentives to DD to relocate to the City and participate actively in the community and (b) offset potential costs for City services that may be particular to DD and its operations in Vernon. With respect to the former objective, the City acknowledges that DD is an entirely volunteer-run non-profit organization that has been in rebuilding mode for more than one year. To that end, the City will offer certain financial incentives to mitigate start-up costs, which incentives will essentially be reimbursed by the development fee over the term of the Agreement. The salient terms of the Agreement include: o DD’s potential facility will be located at 2661 East 46th Street. o Term of Agreement – 5 years, with option to renew. DD covenants: o to include the City in its PR/media outreach efforts; o to participate in City-sponsored events, as appropriate; and o to collaborate with the City in its community service projects. City incentives: o Waiver of initial business license fee. o Waiver of temporary occupancy permit fee and related inspection fees. o $10,000 credit against which DD may charge other start-up costs payable to the City (e.g. permit fees, inspection fees, etc.), which credit shall expire one (1) year after the effective date of the Agreement. o Development Fee – 8% of gross ticket sales revenues derived from public spectator events, to be paid to the City on a monthly basis. Fiscal Impact: The aggregate sum of the incentives offered by the City to DD is approximately $12,500, though it is uncertain whether DD will exhaust the $10,000 credit over the course of the first year of its operation. Based upon a “break-even” analysis provided to staff by DD, the 8% development fee will result in approximately $4,800 annually and approximately $24,000 over the term of the Agreement. In addition, the positive public relations value accruing to the City by virtue of DD’s presence and operation in the City is intangible but potentially significant. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Executed this day of 2018, at Vernon, California. (SEAL) Maria E. Ayala, City Clerk - 5 - 33 EXHIBIT A 34 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERNON AND DERBY DOLLS This Development Agreement ("Agreement") is dated as of 2018 (the "Effective Date") and is made by and between the City of Vernon, a California charter City and California municipal corporation ("City"), and Derby Dolls, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation ("Company"). The City and Company are sometimes individually referred to herein as a "Party" and, together, as the "Parties." RECITALS A. The Company has identified a site at 2661 East 46th Street in the City of Vernon (the "Property") where the Company will hold a lease on the site for twenty (20) months with the possibility of a five (5) year option to renew. The Company plans to operate an athletic training facility and public events facility connected to the sport of women's roller derby (together, the "Project"). B. After public notice and hearing, the Vernon City Council, by ordinance adopted on 2018 (Ordinance No. ), has found that this Agreement (i) is consistent with the General Plan objectives, policies, land uses, and implementation programs and all other adopted plans or policies applicable to the Agreement; (ii) is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the zone in which the real property is located; (iii) will promote the public convenience, health, interest, safety, and general welfare of the City and will not be detrimental to or cause adverse effects to adjacent property owners, residents, or the general public; (iv) will further important citywide goals and policies that have been officially recognized by the Council; and (v) is consistent with the provisions of California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. Moreover, the Agreement is of substantial benefit to the City and its residents for (a) the Company to locate the Project in the City, because it would, among other things, introduce a new, positive public relations vehicle for the City as the home of a national championship-winning and well recognized league in an emerging sport, and (b) increase community services resources to City residents and surrounding communities. C. This agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378. To the extent the Company seeks to engage in actual physical construction or development of the Project, such would be subject to and conditioned upon both discretionary permitting and separate and independent CEQA review and analysis. NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. Section 2. Term and Renewal. (a) Unless terminated earlier as provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date until , 2023 — i.e., 5 years from the Effective Date (the "Term"). -1- 35 (b) At least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Term, the Parties shall come to agreement on whether this Agreement is to be renewed for an additional term of years to be determined or is to expire by its own terms. If the former, the Parties shall execute a written amendment to this Agreement ("Amendment"), which shall be approved by resolution of the City Council. If the Parties have agreed to enter into the Amendment prior to the expiration of the Term, then the Term shall automatically be extended to the day prior to the effective date of the Amendment. (c) If this Agreement expires on its own terms or is otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, then within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement, the Company and the City shall execute a written cancellation of this Agreement which may be recorded with the County Recorder. Section 3. Company Covenants and Representations. (a) The Company represents to the City that it is authorized to conduct business in California; has the authority to enter into the Agreement and perform the requirements of this Agreement; and, to the Company's best knowledge, its performance under this Agreement shall not violate any applicable judgment, order, law or regulation. (b) The Company covenants to reference the City in media and PR initiatives related to the Company's move to the City of Vernon. During the Term, Company will reference the City of Vernon in media and PR efforts at appropriate and organic opportunities. (c) The Company covenants to participate in City of Vernon-sponsored events, as appropriate, provided that such events are not in conflict with Company's brand or stated mission. (d) The Company covenants to collaborate with the City in continuing Company's community services programs (e.g., Annual Health Fair, school-aged health and fitness outreach, etc.). (e) The Company represents that the Property is approximately 12,322 square foot. Section 4. City Incentives. As a direct inducement to attract and retain the corporate presence of the Company and the Project in the City and to encourage the growth of the Company's presence in the City, the City will provide the following incentives (together, the "Incentives"): (a) Upon execution of this Agreement, and for Company's first year of operation, the City will waive the business license fee. (b) Upon execution of this Agreement, and subject to payment of all appropriate fees by the Company, and approval by the Public Works Department of all required site plan specifications, the City shall issue to Company a temporary occupancy permit sufficient to allow the Company to resume its regular training programming on and within the Property, including roller skate training programs on flat surfaces and the Company's banked track as well as off- skates cross-training activities and general administrative operations. The City shall waive the temporary certificate of occupancy fee and related inspection fee. The temporary certificate of occupancy shall expire 180 calendar days after it is issued. -2- 36 (c) In connection with the waiver of fees set forth in subsections (a) and (b) above, the City agrees to provide a credit to the Company of up to $10,000, against which the Company may charge all City fees related to start-up of operations at the Property (the "Credit'). The Credit will expire on the first anniversary of the Effective Date. (d) The City acknowledges the Company's reliance on public events as a sustaining revenue stream and will issue Company a special events permit, to the extent practicable and feasible, on an annual basis, which permit may be used and relied upon by Company for all of its public events held during the calendar year featuring competitive bouts, provided that Company has a valid permanent certificate of occupancy, and is materially compliant with all applicable regulations, and subject to approval by the Director of Public Works of a plan and schedule by Company that includes, without limitation, a general calendar of events with general timeframes, parking plan, public safety plan, and, as applicable, plan regarding food and alcohol concession and live entertainment (the "Special Event Permit'). All alcohol sales shall be provided by a licensed caterer with an appropriate permit from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The Special Event Permit may be reviewed and modified by the City at any time, subject to the following conditions: (i) if the modification is minor (i.e. will not materially affect Company's operations), City will provide prior written notice; and (ii) if the modification is major (i.e. will materially affect Company's operations), City will provide prior written notice and use its best efforts to work constructively with Company and mitigate any negative effects caused by such modification. (e) The City has determined that the Company has met the qualification criteria set forth in its Economic Development Rate Schedule (the "ED Rate Schedule") and, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement For Economic Development Incentive On Electric Service (the "ED Rate Agreement"), which shall be separately executed by the Parties, is eligible for a reduced electric utility rate from the City of Vernon's Public Utilities Department equal to a five-year reduction of up to twenty percent (20%) of the Company's otherwise applicable tariff (OAT), excluding taxes, beginning on the Commencement of Operations. Copies of the ED Rate Schedule and form ED Rate Agreement are collectively attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. The Company will also be eligible for afive-year extension of the program pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein to the ED Rate Schedule, subject to the Vernon City Council's approval for an additional 5-year extension to the ED Rate Schedule. (f) In the event that the initiation or maintenance of the Project becomes unworkable on the Property for reasons arising out of City codes, regulations, or otherwise, and the Company re-initiates the Project at an alternative property within the City, the terms of this Agreement shall carry over to such alternative property.

The Project's periodic spectator events to be held at night and/or over weekends, as well as the regular practices to be held after normal business hours during the weekdays, will have an impact on the City's human resources —namely, personnel from the Public Works and Police Departments. Such impact is difficult to calculate. Company and the City agree that a development fee tied to gross revenues generated by Company from ticket sales for periodic public spectator events would adequately mitigate all such impacts to the City.

Find that adoption of the resolution proposed in this staff report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because adoption of the budget is the creation of a government funding mechanism or other government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and is therefore not a “project” as defined under Section 15378(b)(4). Further, even if adoption of the budget were considered a “project,” it would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Adopt a resolution approving the citywide balanced budget for fiscal year 2018/2019, with estimated budgeted revenues and expenditures of $305,240,703. Backgroud: On May 1 and May 15, 2018, the City's Department Directors presented the proposed fiscal year 2018/2019 budgets for their respective departments to the City Council. Additionally, a budget overview presentation was delivered by the City Administrator to encapsulate the City’s overall financial position, identify challenges, and articulate relevant strategies to address notable budgetary issues. The collective presentations included, among other things, information on the City’s budget process, historical budget comparisons, fiscal challenges, fiscal policy, structural deficit, major budget assumptions, strategies for success, organizational charts, expenditure (and revenue, where applicable) comparisons to prior years, proposed staffing changes for fiscal year 2018/2019, and capital expenditures (where applicable). UPDATES SINCE DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET STUDY SESSIONS Salaries/Benefits: As staff continues citywide succession planning efforts and maintains its commitment to maximizing organizational efficiencies, a need for new classifications, re-classifications, and adjustments in staffing levels in certain departments have been recognized and included in the proposed budget for fiscal year 2018/2019. The City remains focused on delivering exceptional, professional, quality services to businesses and residents and, therefore, will continually evolve by implementing adjustments to staffing throughout the City to ensure service standards are met. A conscientious approach has been employed by staff to ensure that there is a balance between the integral components of City operations and the financial constraints of the proposed budget.53 Attached herewith (Attachment 2) is a schedule reflecting costs related to personnel additions and salary modifications proposed for the citywide budget for fiscal year 2018/2019 that were incorporated into the budget subsequent to the May Budget Study Sessions. All costs associated with staffing changes not referenced in Attachment 2 were addressed by Department Directors in their May budget presentations. Staffing changes are the result of management’s comprehensive evaluation of service priorities, related deficiencies in respective departments, proper assignment of individual duties, and needs to address departmental productivity. In cases where departmental structures/configurations were consolidated for operational and cost efficiency, needs to augment and/or modify existing staff were identified and staffing goals were adjusted accordingly. As such, related costs for staffing modifications have been incorporated into the final FY 2018/2019 Budget proposed for City Council approval. The various changes being proposed since the Budget Study Sessions result in an overall net decrease of $18,815 in Salaries/Benefits for the City. Recent budgetary adjustments affected the Citywide budget in the Salaries/Benefits category only. There were no revisions to Supplies/Services and/or Capital expenditures since the Budget Study Sessions. Thus, the difference in the total monetary impact from the time of departmental presentations in May equates to a decrease in overall City expenditures in the amount of $18,815. CONCLUSION It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the fiscal year 2018/2019 Citywide Budget. Staff has been diligent in efforts to produce a balanced budget. Although the City faces a multitude of budgetary challenges, strategies to combat issues are being implemented. Efforts to further improve operational efficiencies and control costs will continue throughout fiscal year 2018/2019 and into the distant future. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the fiscal year 2018/2019 budget, as it is an administrative activity. ATTACHMENTS 1.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON APPROVING A BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 WHEREAS, on June 20, 2017, the City Council of the City of Vernon adopted Resolution No. 2017-29 approving a budget for the fiscal year 2017-2018; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Vernon wishes to establish a new budget to anticipate the requirements for fiscal year 2018-2019 for the different departments of the City of Vernon; and WHEREAS, on May 1st and May 15th, 2018, City Department Heads presented to the City Council the proposed budgets for their respective departments for Fiscal Year 2018-2019; and WHEREAS, the expenditures proposed in the budget are well under the limitations imposed pursuant to the Gann Initiative for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 and the likely even higher Gann limit for Fiscal Year 2018-2019; and WHEREAS, the budget maintains the proper balance between revenues and expenditures, and establishes well thought out priorities; and WHEREAS, approval of the budget is in the public interest. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds and determines that the above recitals are true and correct. SECTION 2: The City Council of the City of Vernon finds that this action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because adoption of the budget is the creation of a 57 - 2 - government funding mechanism or other government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and is therefore not a “project” as defined under Section 15378(b)(4). Further, even if adoption of the budget were considered a “project,” it would be exempt from CEQA review, in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment. SECTION 3: The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby approves the budget as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference, to anticipate the requirements for fiscal year 2018-2019 for the different departments of the City of Vernon. SECTION 4: The anticipated revenues for the fiscal year 2018-2019 are set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. SECTION 5: The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby finds and determines that certain items provided for in individual department budgets are in the nature of community promotion and education, and the City Council of the City of Vernon further finds and determines that the same are in the best interests of the City of Vernon, and necessary for the further development of the City and constitute a reasonable expenditure of public funds. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / 58 - 3 - SECTION 6: The City Clerk, or the City Clerk’s designee, of the City of Vernon is hereby directed to file this Resolution (along with each exhibit) with the County Auditor of Los Angeles County, located at the following address, within sixty (60) days after July 1, 2018: County of Los Angeles Office of Auditor/Controller Hall of Administration 500 West Temple Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 SECTION 7: The City Clerk of the City of Vernon shall certify to the passage, approval and adoption of this resolution, and the City Clerk, of the City of Vernon shall cause this resolution and the City Clerk’s certification to be entered in the File of Resolutions of the Council of this City.

Find that adoption of the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Appropriation Limit proposed in this staff report is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because such action is a government fiscal activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Adopt the attached resolution establishing the City’s Appropriation Limit for the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 in the amount of $985,664,603 based on the percentage change in the Nonresidential Construction and County Population. Backgroud: California voters approved an initiative on November 6, 1979 that added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution. The provisions of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by all entities of government. This State Appropriation Limit is often referred to as the Gann Limit, after Paul Gann, the author of the measure placing the limit in the State constitution. The Appropriation Limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-1979 fiscal years, as increased each year using specified population and inflationary growth factors. The original legislation implementing the provisions of Article XIIIB became effective January 1, 1981. In accordance with that legislation, the governing body of each government jurisdiction must, by resolution, establish its annual Appropriation Limit for the coming year at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting. The original Article XIIIB (Proposition 4) and its implementing legislation, Chapter 1205/80, was modified in June 1990 by Proposition 111 and SB 88 (Chapter 60/90). Significant changes imposed by Proposition 111 include the following: •The provision of a choice in methodologies for determining the annual inflation factor between (1) growth in California per capita income, or (2) growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City. •The provision of a choice in methodologies for determining the annual population growth factor between (1) City population growth, or (2) County population growth. •Regulations allowing the exclusion of “qualified capital outlay” expenditures from calculation of the Limit. 67 •Provision of a process for avoiding tax refunds if a city falls sufficiently below the Limit in the next fiscal year. The revised language provides two years, beyond the second year, to refund any remaining excess during which jurisdictions can seek to obtain a successful override vote. As a result of Proposition 111, the City is required to choose between two annual inflation factors and two population factors. •The choice offered for the annual inflation factor is (1) the growth in California per capita income or (2) the growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City. •The choice offered for the annual population growth factor is (1) the growth in City or (2) County population. The City calculated its appropriation limit based on the non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction as its annual inflation factor and the County’s population growth as its annual population growth factors for the eight (8) years prior to Fiscal Year 2014-2015. The City calculated its appropriation limit based on the State per capita personal income as its annual inflation factor and the County’s population growth as its annual population growth factors for Fiscal Years 2014-2015, 2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2018. The City calculated its appropriation limit based on the non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction as its annual inflation factor and the County’s population growth as its annual population growth factors for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. When the City prepares its annual budget each year, the appropriations subject to the Appropriation Limit is typically well below the Appropriation Limit as shown below: Fiscal Appropriation Appropriation Amount Year Limit Subject to Limit Under Limit 2009-2010 $304 million $48 million $256 million 2010-2011 $372 million $41 million $331 million 2011-2012 $627 million $62 million $565 million 2012-2013 $1,022 million $47 million $975 million 2013-2014 $962 million $55 million $907 million 2014-2015 $989 million $52 million $937 million 2015-2016 $1,032 million $57 million $975 million 2016-2017 $1,097 million $55 million $1,042 million 2017-2018 $957 million $56 million $901 million 2018-2019 $986 million $60 million $926 million Over the last ten (10) years, and including 2018-2019, the City’s appropriations subject to the Appropriation Limit have remained well below the Appropriation Limit. Given the size of this gap, it is unlikely that the City will exceed the Appropriation Limit in the upcoming years without significant changes to the City’s tax structure. The notice indicating the documentation used in the determination of the appropriation limit provided herewith was posted on the City’s website on May 1, 2018 and is available for public inspection. 68 Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact since the City continues to remain below the Appropriation Limit.

The values of these factors for the purpose of calculating the Gann Limit are as follows: FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Price Factors: (A) Percent growth in State per Capita Personal Income: (Source: California Department of Finance) Price Factor A (B) Percent change in Assessed Valuation in new non-residential construction (Source: Los Angeles County Assessor's Office) Price Factor B Population Factors: (C) Percentage growth in County Population (Source: California Department of Finance) Population Factor C (D) Percent growth in City Population (Source: California Department of Finance) Population Factor D Annual Adjustment Factors: 5.37% 3.69% 3.67% 1.054 1.037 1.037 6.71 -13.27 2.52 1.0671 0.8673 1.0252 0.85 0.57 0.51 1.0085 1.0057 1.0051 72,13 0.00 0.00 1.7213 1.0000 1.0000 Based upon the actual data, the four alternative adjustment factors are as follows: A x C 1.062656 1.042810 1.041987 A x D 1.813734 1.036900 1.036700 B x C 1.076170 0.872244 1.030429 B x D 1.836799 0.867300 1.025200 72 ENT Q~ ~ ~ ~ti a ~~^ i w IIII n d nl ~c DEPARTMENT OF C'4~IFORN~P F' ~ N A N C E OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR May 2018 Dear Fiscal Officer: EOMIJN~ G. BROWN JR. ~ GOVERNOR STATE CAPITOL n ROOM 1 1 45 n SACRAMENTS CA ~ 9581 4'4996 ~ WWW.~O F.CA.GOV Subject: Price Factor and Population Information Appropriations Limit California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2018, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2018-19. Attachment A provides the change in California's per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2018-19 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations. Population Percent Change for Special Districts Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits. Population Certification The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller's Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2018. Please Note: The prior year's city population estimates may be revised. If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086. MICHAEL COHEN Director By: AMY M. COSTA Chief Deputy Director Attachment 73 May 2018 Attachment A A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2018-19 appropriation limit is: Per Capita Personal Income Fiscal Year Percentage change (FY) over prior year 2018-19 3.67 B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2018-19 appropriation limit. 2018-19: Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 3.67 percent Population Change = 0.78 percent Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: Population converted to a ratio: 3.67 + 100 = 1.0367 100 0.78 + 100 = 1.0078 100 Calculation of factor for FY 2018-19: 1.0367 x 1.0078 = 1.0448 74 Fiscal Year 2018-19 Attachment B Annual Percent Change in Population Minus Exclusions* January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018 and Total

Find that receiving this report on grants awarded by the Vernon CommUNITY Fund Grant Committee is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is an administrative action that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and, therefore, does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B.

There were three (3) Direct Service Grant applicants included on the third docket (listed below) and all three (3) were approved by the Grant Committee at the terms recommended: Applicant: California Latino Leadership Institute Original Amount Requested: $15,000 Amount Recommended: $15,000 Proposed Term: 1 year Applicant: Libros Schmibros (returning grantee) Original Amount Requested: $50,000 Amount Recommended: $35,000 Proposed Term: 1 year Applicant: Los Angeles Family Housing (returning grantee) Original Amount Requested: $75,000 Amount Recommended: $60,000 Proposed Term: 1 year Section 2.167(e) of the Vernon Municipal Code requires the Grant Committee Executive Director (City Administrator) to provide the City Council a report of the grant related actions taken by the Grant Committee within 30 days of any regular meeting and within 15 days of any special meeting at which grants are awarded. 94 Fiscal Impact: The total Docket III grant award amount of $110,000 is included in the 2017/2018 City Budget and, although it exceeds the recommended quarterly allocation of $106,375 for direct service grants, there are sufficient funds in the overall budget for this fiscal year (with $8,696.25 remaining).

ATTACHMENTS  96 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-141-2018 Submitted by: Eva Muro Submitting Department: City Attorney Meeting Date: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT Approval of an Amendment No. 3 to the Attorney Services Agreement (Litigation) between the City of Vernon and Rutan & Tucker, LLP regarding specialized litigation and legal advisory services Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the City’s agreement with Rutan & Tucker, LLP is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is a continuing administrative and fiscal activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Authorize the City Administrator to enter into an Amendment No. 3 to the Attorney Services Agreement (Litigation) between the City of Vernon and Rutan & Tucker, LLP in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for an additional amount not to exceed $150,000.00. Backgroud: On June 8, 2016, the City Administrator approved an Attorney Services Agreement (Litigation) regarding specialized litigation and legal advisory services with Rutan & Tucker, LLP (“Rutan”). On February 21, 2017, the City Council approved an Amendment No. 1 to the Attorney Services Agreement, to amend Exhibit A of the Agreement to increase the hourly rate of Rutan and increase the total amount not to exceed by an additional $100,000.00. On November 7, 2017, the City Council approved an Amendment No. 2 to the Attorney Services Agreement to increase the total amount not to exceed by an additional $150,000.00. Rutan was selected after a comprehensive competitive selection process, in accordance with City procedures and good governance contracting principles. On or about February 9, 2016, the City Attorney’s Office issued a Request for Proposals for Specialized Outside Legal Services. In total, the City Attorney’s Office received proposals from 31 firms throughout the state, many of whom were very well-qualified in the subject practice areas. The proposals were subject to an initial screening process by the City Attorney’s Office, and individual scores were applied using the weighted evaluation criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals. At the conclusion of interviews with top scoring firms, the selection panel concurred that Rutan would be chosen for specialized litigation and/or advisory matters. After several years of using Rutan’s services on key matters under the current agreement, the City Attorney’s Office remains highly satisfied with the firm’s representation and aggressive, efficient litigation style. In addition to their legal expertise, the attorneys assigned to assist on City matters have also gained valuable institutional knowledge of City issues and precedent. Because of a complex trial action (which was resolved in the City’s favor shortly before the scheduled trial date), related appellate actions, and other key litigation and strategic matters which require specialized services, the current $350,000.00 contract limit will likely be exceeded within the three-year term. 97 Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to enter into Amendment No. 3, which maintains all existing terms under the current Agreement and increases the total not-to-exceed amount by $150,000.00, bringing the total three-year contract amount to $500,000.00. Rutan’s proposed hourly billing rates will remain the same: $350 (partners), and $275 (associates). Fiscal Impact: The maximum fiscal impact to the City under the proposed contract term is $500,000.00, which takes into account the continued litigation of significant ongoing legal matters. This amount has been included in the budget for the City Attorney’s Office for fiscal years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Ayala, DeputyCity Clerk By: Name: Title: APPROVED AS TO FORM: __________________________________ Zaynah Moussa, Senior Deputy City Attorney 100 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-142-2018 Submitted by: Eva Muro Submitting Department: City Attorney Meeting Date: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT Approval of an Amendment No. 1 to the Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of Vernon and Best Best & Krieger LLP to provide legal services regarding employment and general municipal matters Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the City’s agreement with Best Best & Krieger LLP is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is a continuing administrative and fiscal activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Authorize the City Administrator to enter into an Amendment No. 1 to the Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of Vernon and Best Best & Krieger LLP, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for an additional amount not to exceed $125,000.00. Backgroud: On June 8, 2016, the City Administrator approved an Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) with Best Best & Krieger LLP (“BB&K”) to provide legal services regarding employment and general municipal matters. BB&K was selected after a comprehensive competitive selection process, in accordance with City procedures and good governance contracting principles. On or about February 9, 2016, the City Attorney’s Office issued a Request for Proposals for Specialized Outside Legal Services. In total, the City Attorney’s office received proposals from 31 firms throughout the state, many of whom were very well-qualified in the subject practice areas. The proposals were subject to an initial screening process by the City Attorney’s office (hereinafter the “selection panel”), and individual scores were applied using the weighted evaluation criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals. At the conclusion of interviews with top scoring firms, the selection panel concurred that BB&K would be chosen for employment and general municipal matters. BB&K is one of the most experienced and largest full-service public agency law firms in California. The City Attorney’s Office is already familiar with BBK, having worked with attorney Arlene Prater on several advisory matters within the last year. Attorney Iris Yang is also currently advising the City on a variety of issues related to the wind-down of redevelopment agencies and related state legislation. The City Attorney’s Office has found BBK to be efficient, responsive, and mindful of the City’s specific challenges when advising on specialized municipal law issues, including the Political Reform Act, Ralph M. Brown Act, competitive bidding and selection, the Health and Safety Code, conflicts of interest, and the Government Code. 101 After nearly two years of using BB&K’s services on several matters under the current agreement, the City Attorney’s Office is highly satisfied with the firm’s representation and aggressive, efficient style. The current $75,000.00 contract limit will likely be exceeded within the three-year term. Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to enter into Amendment No. 1, which maintains all existing terms under the current Agreement and increases the total not-to-exceed amount by $125,000.00, bringing the total three-year contract amount to $200,000.00. Fiscal Impact: The maximum fiscal impact to the City under the proposed contract term is $200,000.00, which takes into account the continued litigation of significant ongoing legal matters. This amount has been included in the budget for the City Attorney’s Office for fiscal years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. ATTACHMENTS 1.

As well, Enrique Patino, a contractor for Comino Real Kitchens telephoned Vernon Police to report the same incident. within 10 minutes the police arrived at the facility. I began to tell the officer what occurred. I was interrupted and told by the officer that the security officer needed to do his job. It was clear that the polke o,ff,cer ras de'fendinB the yloletrt acdons of tte s€curlty emploree. I told the officer that I was the Maintenance Manager and the highest-ranking employee on site at the time. Further, no employee or contractor in any manor can physically attack any employee of any rank. I went further to tell the police that I wished to press chaGes and that I have se\reral witnesses that can testiry that I was attacked. One of which was the gentleman that also called the police. The police refused to even talk to Enrique Patino to get his perspective. The office said something to the effect that everyone has witnesses and they did not want to speak to any witness. Enrique Patino was standing next to me at the time and can testify to this event so as at least 50 Employees that were standinB around (Shift Change) The police took a bullying stance and made every effort to stop me from entering a complaint against the security officer. The Police fficer told me I can press Charges and the Person that physically attacked me could press Charges and we both would end up in Jail! I immediately asked him why there would be any Reason to arrest me and that I would have no Problem if they would do so. This was clearly a threat to stop me filling a Police Report and press Charges. I than told the Police Officer that we are done here and asked them to return my lD. Me and one of the Eye Witness left than in the Diiection to my Office in the Maintenance Department. On the Way one of the Police Officers followed us and told me that we didn't had the Chance to speak I told him that we are done talking and that I know 3 People that will represent me in this Matter. The Police Officer than asked me a8ain for my ld and wrote it down even when they did it before. No charges could be made even though I indicated that lwished to enter a charge for assault and have the security officer removed from the property. The officer left the site without removinB the security worker, taking a statement, or filing a formal complaint. This is clearly a case of an abuse of power within the department. 106 The police officer that came to this call had no right to violate the company policy or my personal welfare. When I went to our facility front office the police officer was speaking with the Javier Taurus, an on-site supervisor for City Staff Solutions, the stalfing agency that provides Camino Real Kitchens with employees. Mr. Taurus was no Eye Witness from the lncident The police officer was speaking with Mr. Taurus to confirm who the actin8 manager was. Mr. Taurus told the police office that I was the acting manaBer on staff. This I had already told the police officer. Even when the police officer confirmed that did not remove the security worker from the site. It was only when I telephoned Robert Cross, our CEO, to report the incident did the security officer get removed from the company. At no point did the police department do their job in securing the safety of our company and persons employed here. As I had been hit very hard, fell and sustained several injuries the company felt that I needed to go the hospital to receive care. Because I was hurt and very upset with the actions of the policemen that attended the call, I telephoned the Chief of Police's office to log a complain about the behavior of the officers. I then left to attend to my injuries at the clinic used by the company. I was told by the HR Manager upon my return that a Detective had come to the company to take my report. As I was still at the docto/s clinic, the detective then went to the clinic, missing me. When the HR Manager spoke to me concerning the detective visit I was told if I wanted to report, I should call. I returned a text sent by the detective to indicate that I was done talking with police officers that would not take mine or my witness complaints a8ainst the security officer. At this point lfelt and still feel the Vernon Police Department has acted in a highly bias and racial manor. When I returned to the clinic on Friday the doctor told me that he talked to the police on the day when I initially visited clinic. The doctor stated that the officer told him "they'' had a witness that saw the security officer hit me on the shoulder. I immediately called HR and the eyewitnesses to the incident to confirm the officer spoke with them. I found this interesting because none ofthe witnesses spoke to the police or had even been contacted by police at any time. The HR manager also confirmed that the police only talk to her about the fact that I went back with the doctor. lf any part of the conversation between the police officer and the medical staff is true. There was a HEPPAviolation atthe hospital level aswell asaracial over tone at your department. The actions ofthe 107 officers show just how one sided and racial the department is. The trust of a police department is critical to all citizens. Even though I speak with a heayy German accent, land it is clear the actions ofthe involved officers from the department shows a racial discriminative action. I do want to establish a claim and file charges with an officer or detective that will not do anything more than his or her job against the Person that physically attacked me and also against the Police officer involved in the racist, discriminating Actions. It is also clear to me that the Actions in the Clinic where initiated to cover the Officers wrong Doing and to establish false Testimonies or Facts Based on briefed Rights in the Constitution everybody should to be treated with respect and dignity. to schedule a meeting with a responsible, non-racial Detective. 108 \AJere you irEUGd at the tinre of the irritbnt? tf so, prorire nene of insnrancE compeny, pdiry nunters ard arEunt of insurance peyEarts rec6ived: Yes Beenditures made on account of accident or lnjury: (Date - ltem) unknown (Amount) Narne and address of Wtnesses, Ooclors and Hospitals: List of \Mttnesses can be attached (50 to 100) READCAREFULLY For all accident claims place on following diagram names of streets, induding North, East South, and West indicate place of accident by'X" and by sho'ving house numbers or distiances to sfeet corners. o,y 'm#U'''PJg:iHS#""g8',lfJffi"i#,J#:;'ffiinSl'Siffiveh f hpact by'X." i{OTE lf diagfams do not fil the situation, afrach hereto a poper diagram signed by daimant FOR AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS LL_]L 7 i\V7 under Andreas M.

Find that approval of the investment policy for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because it is a government fiscal activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; and B. Adopt a resolution approving the Annual Statement of Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 and delegating investment authority to the Finance Director/City Treasurer. The investment policy requires an annual approval by City Council. Such approval is performed annually through the review of any updates and reaffirming the investment policy in effect. Backgroud: The Annual Statement of Investment Policy sets forth the course of action necessary to guide the decision-making of the City Council, City Treasurer, and those authorized to make investment decisions in the administration of the City’s investment portfolio. The existing policy is in compliance with the California Government Code and is a restatement of relevant sections applying to investment activities. The policy is designed to ensure that the administration of surplus funds is performed in accordance with the “prudent investor standard” pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.3. As such capital preservation is of paramount importance and that no speculative activities are entered into. Conclusion The City made no changes to Annual Investment Policy previously submitted and approved by City Council on May 2, 2017. The City’s Annual Investment Policy conforms with California Law and is be adhered to and attested by the Independent Certified Public Accounting firm that performs the certified annual audit of the financial statements.

While some portions of this Investment Policy are a restatement of the laws of the State of California (the "State"), it is viewed that these restatements are integral to the purpose and flow of this Investment Policy. In most instances the use of future tense throughout this Investment Policy is intended to mean a continued practice or a practice which shall be continued. The following statements are intended to ensure the achievement of the purpose, the goals and objectives in an orderly and accurate manner. However, there is no guarantee that problems, errors or losses will not arise in the course of administering the investment of idle or surplus funds. Among the obstacles and deterrents in achieving the goals and objectives of the portfolio are: unforeseen national or international events or crises, deviation of actual cash flow from forecasted cash flow, unforeseen demands on cash flow, policies made with regard to investment in local depositories, errors in data or advice used to make decisions, as well as any other unanticipated event that may have an effect on local, national or international financial markets, economies or politics which in turn has a decided effect upon the portfolio. This Investment Policy is designed to achieve, keeping in mind the obstacles and deterrents in pursuing portfolio goals and objective, the safety of the principal of all City funds, consistent with limited risk and prudent investment practices. 1.0 SCOPE This Investment Policy governs the deposit, safekeeping and investment of the funds of the Treasury, as well as all related transactions and investment activities.

These include investments in derivatives such as contracts-options, swaps, and futures/forward contracts without a clear, identifiable, justifiable, and effective hedgeable item. 8.4 Prior to entering into an allowable hedgeable transaction, such as a swap agreement, the City shall review legal documentation subject to the transaction to understand the terms of the transaction, the risks taken on by the parties, and the remedies available to them. These documents may include, among others, the ISDA Master Agreement, Schedule, Confirmation and Credit Support Annex. Such documentation will be retained to support the basis of the decision. 9.0 ALLOWABLE HEDGABLE TRANSACTIONS 9.1 Interest rate swap contract in conjunction with debt issuances s h a 11 b e reviewed as part of the City ` s overall financial position considering both the potential benefits and potential risks. Prior to submitting a swap agreement for City Council's approval, the potential benefits and potential benefits are to be analyzed. The results of the analysis shall be provided to City Council at the time of approval. -11- 234 9.2 Potential benefits: Accessing the swap market increases the array of options available to the City for hedging risk . Using swaps, can in some circumstances, reduce costs or improve cash flows, thereby increasing resources available for debt service, other public purposes, and contributing to the City's overall mission. The City shall consider t h e following benefit factors when determining the applicability as part of different strategies: 9.2.1 Reducing borrowing costs, by using floating-to-fixed rate swaps combined with variable rate bonds to achieve costs lower than those available with fixed-rate bonds, or by using fixed-to-floating rate swaps to create synthetic floating rate debt and achieve lower costs without external liquidity or remarketing support. 9.2.2 Improving cash flows, by using basis swaps where the City expects the payments received from the counterparty to be greater, over time, than the payments made to the counterparty. 9.2.3 Locking in current rates for future transactions, through forward-starting swaps or swaptions. 9.2.4 Matching assets and liabilities, by using a swap contract so that fixed-rate debt is matched with fixed-rate assets and floating-rate debt is matched with floating-rate assets. 9.2.5 The City shall take into account the potential benefits of swap transactions in conjunction with debt issuances by recognizing that in the proper circumstances they can have a positive effect on the City's financial position. 9.3 Potential Risks: Interest rate swaps involve certain risks that shall be considered when doing an analysis. Prior• to submitting a swap agreement to City Council for approval, the potential risk factors will be examined and analyzed. They will be presented as part of the overall staff report in order to provide a full perspective of both the risks and benefits. There are five potential risk factors that encompass ten different separate elements: 9.3.1 Risk Factor #1: Cash flows and/or net revenues 9.3.1.1 Basis Risk: The risk that variable rate payments received will be less than variable rate payments they were designed to offset, because the variable rate payments received and the variable rate payments owed are based on different indexes, and the ratio between those indexes changes over time. 9.3.1.2 Tax Risk: The risk that the City's costs will raise because federal income tax rates fall, or because the tax exemption for municipal debt is eliminated or is modified in a way that 1-educes its value. 9.3.1.3 Yield Curve Risk: The risk is that the City's cash flow will be adversely affected because the slope of the yield curve is not as the C i t y -12- 235 anticipated when entering into the swap. This is an aspect of basis risk that may affect the termination value for swaps contacts. 9.3.1.4 Amortization Mismatch: The risk that the notional amount of the swap and the outstanding principal amount of the debt intended to be hedged will no longer be equal. Such mismatch may be a feature of the transaction at its inception or may be caused by subsequent events, such as redemption of bonds before maturity or termination of the swap before bond maturity. 9.3.2 Risk Factor #2: Balance Sheet 9.3.2.1 Termination Risk: The risk that the City will be required to make a payment based on the market value of the swap in connection with an unforeseen termination of the swap, at a time when the market value is negative to the issuer. 9.3.2.2 Collateral Posting Risk: The risk that the City will be required to post collateral, upon a downgrade of its credit rating or other trigger event a time when the market value is negative. 9.3.3 Risk Factor #3: Counterparty Risk 9.3.3.1 The risk that the counterparty will no longer perform its obligations under• the contract, or that the counterparty's credit quality will decline to the point where there is uncertainty about its ability to perform. 9.3.4 Risk Factor #4: Future Financial Management 9.3.4.1 Market Access Risk: The risk that the City will be unable to obtain derivatives contracts when needed in the future on reasonably favorable terms, including new derivatives upon early or scheduled termination of existing hedges ("Rollover Risk"). 9.3.4.2 Loss of Flexibility: The risk that a swap contract will limit the issuer's debt management options in the fixture due to an inability to modify or terminate the swap without cost. 9.3.5 Risk Factor #5: Management Complexity 9.3.5.1 The risk that certain swap contracts may add a level of complexity to financial management that will require ongoing commitment of additional resources. The utilization of a financial advisory firm to assist or review transactions prior to entering into an arrangement may be required. 10.0 STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES 10.1 Annual Statement of Investment Policy The City Treasurer shall annually render to the City Council and the Finance Committee of the City a statement of investment policy, which the City shall consider at a public meeting.

Find that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing the execution of an agreement with Level 3 Communications, LLC for continuation and upgrade of dedicated internet access services for a one year period effective July 1, 2017, for an amount not-to-exceed $45,000. Backgroud: The City of Vernon has installed a fiber-optic cable network around the perimeter of the City to enable businesses within City boundaries to have access to voice, data and/or video services. In order to furnish this service, the City must lease internet bandwidth from select providers. In recent years, the City’s fiber optics based internet access service has received dedicated wholesale internet circuits from two upstream service providers which allow the City to offer reliable commercial internet connectivity to businesses in Vernon who elect such a service. The City’s contract term with its existing provider, Level 3 Communications has expired, prompting the Public Utilities Department to secure a new agreement. The current arrangement with Level 3 Communications has continued on a month to month basis since the existing three year Services Agreement in the amount of $180,000 expired in July 2017. The Fifth Continuation Agreement proposed is for an additional one-year period, effective as of and retroactive to July 1, 2017. Any procurement agreement by VPU for dedicated internet access services is exempt from both competitive bidding and competitive selection under VMC sec. 2.17.12(A)(6) (contracts for acquisition of telecommunications) and 2.17.12(B)(1). However, VPU is in the process of obtaining quotes from other service providers to be sure it is getting the best value, and to recommend the most responsive and responsible internet access service provider for the City. It is anticipated that staff will propose to award a new Services Agreement to the most suitable internet access service provider in July 2018. Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution to approve the Fifth Continuation Agreement with Level 3 Communications. The proposed agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney's Office. Fiscal Impact:273 The proposed Fifth Continuation Agreement with level 3 Communications shall not exceed a total amount of $45,000 in the one-year term. Sufficient funds are available in the fiscal year 2018-19 Public Utilities Department budget in account number 057.1057.500173. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Ayala, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Brian Byun, Senior Deputy City Attorney -3- 283 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-105-2018 Submitted by: Claudia Arellano Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT A Resolution Adopting a Project Funded by Senate Bill 1 The Road Repair and Accountability Act Recommendation: A. Find that the approval of the proposed action, does not constitute a “project” pursuant to sections 15378(b)(2) and (4) of the Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because it constitutes an administrative activity and government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment; and even if the adoption of the proposed resolution did constitute a project, it would be exempt from CEQA in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15302, because the proposed project consists of the replacement of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced; and 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment; and B. Adopt a resolution adopting a project funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act for Fiscal Year 2018/2019. Backgroud: On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statute 2017), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local street and road systems. Senate Bill 1 increases per gallon fuel excise taxes, increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees, and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. On November 1, 2017, the State Controller commenced depositing a portion of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). Part of the RMRA funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h)(2) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and road systems. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2030, RMRA local streets and roads allocations must be used for projects "that include, but are not limited to," the following: •Road maintenance and rehabilitation •Safety projects •Railroad grade separations •Traffic control devices •Complete street components, "including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and storm-water capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project." 284 The City’s allocation for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 is estimated to be $3,471 pursuant to the formula in Streets and Highways Code Section 2103(a)(3)(C)(i) and (ii). The formula essentially proportions the total population the City bears to the total population of all the cities in the state. Maintenance of Effort: RMRA The Road Repair and Accountability Act contains a local agency maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement that applies to funds allocated through the RMRA. The Act states that the MOE requirement is to ensure that these new road funds do not supplant existing levels of city and county general revenue spending on streets and roads. The MOE for the receipt of RMRA funds state that a city or county must maintain general fund spending for street, road, and highway purposes at no less than the average of fiscal years 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2011/2012 as reported to the State Controller pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2151. In making this calculation an agency may exclude one-time funds. A city or county that fails to comply in a particular year may make it up with additional expenditures in the following year. The Act provides that the State Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with these MOE rules. If the State Controller determines that a city or county has not met its MOE, the agency will be required to reimburse the state for the funds it received during that fiscal year. However, a city or county that fails to comply in a particular fiscal year may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is sufficient to comply. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to comply will be reapportioned to the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance. The City’s annual average of its expenditures from its general fund during Fiscal Years 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2011/2012 is $830,243 as shown below: Maintenance of Effort - General Fund for Streets & Roads - Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account per Streets & Hwys Code Sec 2036 Streets and Roads Annual Report - Reported General Fund for Street Purposes FY 2009/2010 - $789,165 FY 2010/2011 - $616,736 FY 2011/2012 - $1,084,827 Average - $830,243 Adjustment - $0 RMRA MOE - $830,243 The City’s local match identified by the State is significantly higher. As indicated above, the City’s MOE is $830,243 and the State’s allocation for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 is estimated at $3,471 which means the City would be required to expend $830,243 in approved projects in order to receive the allocated funds of $3,471. The sum of the proposed budgeted street improvements for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 is $1,130,365. Spending Plans and Reports: RMRA The Road Repair and Accountability Act stipulates that, prior to receiving RMRA funds in a fiscal year, a city or county must submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a project list pursuant to an adopted budget. The list must include for each project: description, location, schedule, useful life [Streets and Highways Code Section 2034(a)]. The Road Repair and Accountability Act also requires that a city or county submit to the CTC an annual report of project completion in order to receive RMRA funds. The report must include descriptions of all projects for which RMRA funds were expended including: description, location, funds expended, completion date, and estimated useful life of the project. 285 The City’s Sign Replacement Program project is identified as a potential candidate for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Senate Bill 1 funding. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact with the adoption of a resolution approving the Sign Replacement Program project for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Senate Bill 1 funding. The City will allocate funding, once it fulfills the requirements under the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Executed this day of June, 2018, at Vernon, California. Maria E. Ayala, City Clerk (SEAL) 291 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-106-2018 Submitted by: Anthony Zarate Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT Approval of Amendment No. 1 to Contract CS-0599 with Santa Fe Building Maintenance for Professional Janitorial Services Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed amendment to the Agreement with Santa Fe Building Maintenance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore is not a “project’ as defined by CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378; and B. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract CS-0599, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for the purpose of providing a ninety (90) day extension to the Services Agreement with Santa Fe Building Maintenance and increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $320,834 from $303,948 over the term of the contract (a difference of $16,886); and C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 1 to extend the agreement with Santa Fe Building Maintenance for ninety (90) days from June 30, 2018 to September 27, 2018, or as soon as the City secures a vendor for the subject services. Backgroud: On July 1, 2015, the City entered into an agreement with Santa Fe Building Maintenance for the City’s janitorial needs. This agreement has been in place for almost three (3) years and will soon reach its termination date of June 30, 2018. Pursuant to Section 2.17.30 of the Vernon Municipal Code which references good governance contract terms and procedures, the Department of Public Works (“Department”) is currently conducting due diligence to select a vendor for the subject services. Furthermore, under Section 9.10.3 of the agreement with Santa Fe Building Maintenance, the Contract may only be changed by written amendment signed by the Contractor and the City Administrator or other authorized representative of the City, subject to any requisite authorization by the City Council. For the past three (3) years, Santa Fe Building Maintenance has provided superior quality cleaning at highly competitive prices. In order to prevent the subject services from lapsing, staff is recommending that the existing contract with Santa Fe Building Maintenance be extended for an additional three (3) months, until September 27, 2018, or until the time the City enters into a new agreement with a vendor as a result of the ongoing Request for Proposal process – whichever comes first. Additionally, the Department proposes that the not-to-exceed amount of $303,948 be increased by $16,886, for a total amount of $320,834. The additional funds will serve to cover expenditures for the 3-month extension of the agreement. With the City’s current procurement process for professional services, including the need to advertise, it is anticipated that a 3-month extension should be sufficient. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approve Amendment 292 No. 1 to extend the agreement with Santa Fe Building Maintenance for three months from, June 30, 2018 to September 27, 2018, or as soon as the City secures a vendor for the subject services. The proposed amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office. In addition, staff has provided notice to Santa Fe Building Maintenance of the City’s intent to extend the agreement and the contractor has advised that they are willing to continue to perform under the agreement with no change in compensation rates. Fiscal Impact: The Department allocated adequate funds under its Building Maintenance budget for FY2018-19 to cover all costs associated with the approval of Amendment No. 1. Although the amount of work will vary from month to month, it is anticipated that the actual cost of services will fall within the not-to-exceed amount of $320,834. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Find that approval of the proposed Sales Tax Sharing agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378, and to the extent National Ready Mixed Concrete Company seeks to engage in actual physical construction or development, such would be subject to separate and independent CEQA review and analysis; and B. Approve the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1253 approving and authorizing the execution of a sales tax sharing agreement between the City of Vernon and National Ready Mixed Concrete Company for the purpose of facilitating the development of a Point of Sale facility on the site located at 2626 East 26th Street in the City of Vernon. Backgroud: City staff is focused on encouraging economic development in Vernon. In August 2016, staff responded to a Request for Proposal for Business Incentives – Proposed National Cement Manufacturing Project (“National Cement”) for 2626 East 26th Street in the City of Vernon. The City's proposal included a detailed description on how the City intended to address National Cement’s requests for local incentives. Further discussion ensued through the remainder of 2016 and, ultimately, the City was able to reach an agreement with National Ready Mixed Concrete Company (“NRMCC”) for the expansion of their operations into Vernon. Key components of the agreement between the City of Vernon and NRMCC include: •NRMCC plans to spend approximately $26 million on development of the property and create at least 35 new full-time jobs upon completion of the project •As a Point of Sale facility for customers, the business will generate sales tax revenues for Vernon that are estimated to be an average of $230,000 per year. •The City shall provide NRMCC a Sales and Use Tax Revenue incentive; Economic Development Rate incentive; expedited building permitting and plan checks; and support in NRMCC’s approval for New Markets Tax Credit program in relation to the redevelopment of the property. Staff recommends that City Council adopt the ordinance approving the agreement between the City of Vernon and National Ready Mixed Concrete Company, as the corporate presence of NRMCC and the planned development project at the 2626 East 26th Street site will benefit the local economy through the creation of new employment opportunities and the generation of additional sales tax revenues. The agreement has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.315 **Note: Item was presented for Public Hearing and First Reading to City Council at its Regular Meeting of May 15, 2018. Fiscal Impact: The agreement with National Ready Mixed Concrete Company will result in additional revenues for the City through sales tax revenue estimated to be $230,000 per year. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Maria E. Ayala, City Clerk ( SEAL ) - 5 - 321 322 SALES TAX ~I-~ARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERNON AND NATIONAL READY MIXED CONCRETE COMPANY This Sales Tax Sharing Agreement ("Agreement"} is dated as of ,X018 (the "Effective Date") and is made by and between the City of Vernon, a California charter City and California municipal corporation ("City"), and National Ready Mixed Concrete Company, a California corporation ("Company"). The City and Company are sometimes individually referred to herein as a "Party" and, together, as the "Parties." RECITALS A. The Company has identified a site at 2626 East 26th Street in the City of Vernon (the "Property") where the Company will hold a ground lease on the site for up to 35 years. The Company plans to construct one or more buildings for a total of 35,720 square feet of space. The Company plans to spend approximately $26 million on development of the Property and create approximately thirty-five (35) new full-time jobs once the Property has been developed (together, the "Project"). B. The Project will be a point of sale to customers who transact business with the Company where such purchases or products are intended for delivery within the State of California ("Point of Sale"). The Company estimates that the City could receive on average $230,000 per year over athirty-five (35) year period in sales tax that it would otherwise not receive based on the Company's annual projected taxable material sales. C. The City's share of sales tax is currently 1 % of the taxable sales occurring in the City ("Sales Tax Revenue"). D. After public notice and hearing, the Vernon City Council, by ordinance passed on (Ordinance No. ), has found that this Agreement (i) is consistent with the General Plan objectives, policies, land uses, and implementation programs and all other adopted plans or policies applicable to the Agreement; (ii) is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the zone in which the real property is located; (iii) will promote the public convenience, health, interest, safety, and general welfare of the City and will not be detrimental to or cause adverse effects to adjacent property owners, residents, or the general public; (iv) will further important citywide goals and policies that have been officially recognized by the Council; and (v) is consistent with the provisions of California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. Moreover, the Agreement is of substantial benefit to the City and its residents for (a) the Company to locate the Project in the City, because it would, among other things, provide new employment opportunities in the local economy, and (b) the Company to designate the Project as a Point of Sale for the Company which will generate significant additional Sales Tax Revenue for the City. The receipt of additional Sales Tax Revenue not otherwise collectible by the pity and 7-323 creation of jobs constitute valid public purposes for the pity's entry into and execution of this Agreement. E. This agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is an administrative activity that wsls not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378. To the extent the Company seeks to engage in actual physical construction or development of the Project, such would be subject to and conditioned upon both discretionary permitting and separate and independent CEQA review and analysis. NSW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. Section 2. Term and Renewal.

If the former, the Parties shall execute a written amendment to this Agreement ("Amendment"), which shall be approved by the City Council. If the Parties have agreed to enter into the Amendment prior to the expiration of the Term, then the Term shall automatically be extended to the day prior to the effective date of the Amendment. (c} If this Agreement expires on its own terms or is otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, then within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement, the Company and the City shall execute a written cancellation of this Agreement which may be recorded with the County Recorder.

Find that approval of the proposed purchase of medium voltage Metal Clad Switchgear is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because such purchase is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, and that even if such purchase were a project, it would be categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15301, because it consists of the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing equipment and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use; and B. Accept the bid from Myers Power Products, Inc., ("Myers") as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reject all other bids; and C. Authorize the issuance of a purchase contract with Myers to furnish and deliver two 27KV Medium Voltage Metal Clad Switchgear (Bid Specification #SG-2018-1) on a two (2) year term, for a not to exceed amount of $322,887.04; and D. Authorize a contingency amount of $40,000 in the event of an unexpected changed condition and grant authority to the City Administrator to issue change orders up to the contingency amount, if necessary. Backgroud: Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) has a number of switchgears in the electric system infrastructure which are utilized when switching electric lines and for protecting power circuits in commercial and industrial installations. On March 22, 2018, in compliance with the City’s policies and procedures, VPU issued a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) Specification #SG-2018-1 requesting bids for two (2) 27KV, 150KV BIL, Medium Voltage Metal Clad Switchgears. On April 12, 2018, the City received and opened bid responses from four (4) manufacturers. Bids were evaluated based on the equipment meeting technical specification requirements and lowest price per unit. Myers’ equipment met all of the bid technical specification requirements detailed in the bid package and offered the lowest price per unit. As such, the Department selected the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff recommends the City Council declare Myers as the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for the 27KV medium voltage circuit breakers. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the issuance of a purchase contract to Myers for a not to exceed amount of $362,887.04 for the purchase of two Medium Voltage Metal Clad Switchgears. Staff performed a thorough 343 evaluation process that assessed the lowest unit price and their compliance with the specifications in the bid notice. The purchase contract cost includes sales taxes and fees and it shall be valid for a two (2) year term. Fiscal Impact: The proposed purchase contract price of $322,887.04 (including taxes and fees) and the $40,000 contingency amount, have been included in the Public Utilities Department Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget.

CERTIFICATE HOLDER MUST BE LISTED ON CERTIFICATE AS: City of Vernon Risk Management 4305 Santa Fe Avenue Vernon, CA 90058 439 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-132-2018 Submitted by: Ali Nour Submitting Department: Public Utilities Meeting Date: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT Ratification and Approval of Additional Funds for FY 2017-2018 Purchase Orders and Approval of a FY 2018-2019 Blanket Purchase Order with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. c/o Matzinger-Keegan Inc. Recommendation: A. Find that approval of additional funds is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and even if it were considered to be a “project,” the proposed action is exempt from CEQA review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15302, because the proposed project consists of the replacement or reconstruction of existing equipment where the new equipment will be located on the same site as the equipment replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the equipment replaced; and B. Ratify three separate supplementary equipment purchase orders with SEL for a combined total of $13,941.69 as follows: 1.) PO 055.0002625 in the amount of $413.36 for the purchase of Fiber-Optic Cable and Transceivers; and 2.) PO 055.0002632 in the amount of $646.05 for the purchase of SFP Transceivers; and 3.) PO 055.0002631 in the amount of $755.53 for the purchase of various cables, antennas, and related accessories; and 4.) PO 055.0002579 in the amount of $12,126.75 for the purchase of Managed Ethernet Switch equipment; and C. Approve additional funds in the amount of $4,000 for the issuance of future purchase orders with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. ("SEL") c/o Martzinger-Keegan, Inc. ("MKI") as may be required for purchases during the remainder of fiscal year 2017-2018; and D. Approve the issuance of a Blanket Purchase Order with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. ("SEL") c/o Matzinger-Keegan, Inc. ("MKI") in an amount not to exceed $20,000 for fiscal year 2018-2019. Backgroud: Vernon Public Utilities SCADA (Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition) system is a critical computing system that monitors and controls Electric, Water, and Gas assets and infrastructure. SEL provides network communication and specialized relaying equipment that are monitored and controlled by the SCADA system. Staff currently maintains an existing agreement and purchase contract with SEL, and also utilizes MKI to procure equipment through purchase orders. Per Vernon Municipal Code § 2.17.02(B), City Council approval is required if, in the 12 months preceding the effective date of a proposed new, renewed, or otherwise amended contract, the City has paid or awarded the proposed vendor more than $100,000. Within the past twelve months, the City has awarded SEL a total of approximately $394,561.33 in agreements and purchase orders as follows: 440 -On July 18, 2017, City Council approved a three (3) year services agreement for Ybarra Substation Electric System Protection Implementation with SEL Engineering Services in an amount not to exceed $296,250.34. -On February 6, 2018, Council approved the purchase contract for Substation Real-Time Automation Controllers and Event Collection Software in the amount of $84,360.99. -Over the past 10 months, VPU has made supplementary equipment purchases from SEL via separate purchase orders which are estimated to total $13,941.69. The purchase orders listed below have been processed by Finance and are pending ratification by the City Council: 1. P.O. 055.0002625 - $413.36 2. P.O. 055.0002632 - $646.05 3. P.O. 055.0002631 - $755.53 4. P.O. 055.0002579 - $12,126.75 Staff is seeking an additional amount of $4,000 to cover costs for ancillary orders that may be required through the remainder of the current fiscal year. For example, staff has attached quote No. USMKI0440-18 in the amount of $900 for the purchase of five electronic transceivers and may have the need to purchase additional items. Because the combined total for all expenditures with SEL exceeds the $100,000 threshold required for City Council approval, staff is requesting authorization from Council for additional funds in the amount of $4,000. Staff is also seeking approval in the amount of $20,000 for a blanket purchase order to be issued with SEL for fiscal year 2018-2019 for future equipment purchases to ensure that ancillary orders with SEL such as those referenced in this report are covered in the upcoming fiscal year. The existing agreement carries over into fiscal year 2018-2019 which continues to put SEL over the $100,000 threshold until the agreement expiration date of August 15, 2020. Fiscal Impact: The not to exceed amount of $13,941.69 for recent SEL purchases, $4,000 for future purchases as may be required by the end of fiscal year 2017-2018 and the not to exceed amount of $20,000 for the blanket purchase order for fiscal year 2018-2019 have been included in the Public Utilities Department budgets for each respective fiscal year.

B. Receive and file a copy of the LA River Path Feasibility Study. Backgroud: The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“Metro”) has identified $365 million for the design and construction of the Los Angeles River Bike Path Gap Closure project (“the project”) from Elysian Valley through the City of Vernon (“the City”). The City, in partnership with the Southern California Association of Governments (“SCAG”), developed the LA River Path Feasibility Study to evaluate the alignment options for a regionally connected bikeway in the City’s portion of the LA River. The purpose of this study is to present the project context, describe different Vernon River Path alignment options and how they were evaluated, and explain how the core alignment addresses key opportunities and constraints in the corridor. When completed, the LA River Path is expected to serve many in Vernon's workforce that currently commute from the adjacent cities located in the North, South, and Southeast part of the City. The City of Vernon LA River Path Feasibility Study is intended to be the guiding document for future capital improvement projects and potential grant opportunities for projects near the LA River. The study will also serve as the guiding document for the continuation of the project as Metro leads the project through the next phases, which will include an alternative analysis, environmental clearance, and the construction of the path. City staff will continue to work with Metro on the next project phases to ensure that the City’s interests are maintained throughout the project and to ensure that the City of Vernon stakeholders continue to be involved.

The Los Angeles (LA) River Path extends from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach, with only an 8-mile gap from downtown LA to Vernon. The purpose of this study is to develop preliminary pathway alignments and design concepts for the 3-mile segment of the LA River in Vernon. This study will be used to inform the current Metro LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Project, which includes design and construction of the entire 8-mile gap. WHAT IS THE GOAL? The goal of this project is to provide an implementable vision for the complex and constrained 3-mile stretch of LA River Path in Vernon. The study synthesizes community input, stakeholder concerns, physical opportunities & constraints, and implementation strategies for the path. This study is crucial for building local consensus and guiding the next phase of design and construction during the LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Project. WHY BUILD A PATH IN VERNON? Transportation: create a direct connection to and from Vernon for employees and residents and provide a route for regional path users to pass through Vernon. Safety: provide an off-street path separate from traffic and lower the risk of on-street collisions to bicyclists and pedestrians. Health: encourage active transportation, which increases physical activity, improves health, and decreases healthcare costs for employers. Recreation: connect the local community to regular exercise opportunities and open space regional destinations along the river. Chapters 1: BACKGROUND Describes the regional value, goals, benefits, history, and context of the project. 2: COMMUNITY Summarizes the outreach events and the key items learned from the community and stakeholders. 3: OPPORTUNITIES & CONSTRAINTS Analyzes the real-world conditions that impact the path alignments including the river channel, rail crossings, utility lines, and property ownership. 4: EVALUATION Discusses the rationale for what makes a functional, feasible, and desirable path. 5: DESIGN Provides conceptual design guidance for the dimensions, program elements, materials, and aesthetics of the path. 6: ALIGNMENT ALTERNATIVES Details the core path alignment (The “Fly-Over”) and two alternatives. 7: NEXT STEPS Outlines preliminary cost estimates, funding strategies, and next steps for the path. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 455 8 CITY OF VERNON The LA River through the City of Vernon represents a unique opportunity to connect employees to businesses. The City of Vernon is a regional employment and industrial center for manufacturing, meat packing, cold-storage, and processing, with thousands of businesses and nearly 38,000 daily commuters. (US Census LEHD, 2015) Despite a permanent residential population of 112 people, 88,848 people live within a 20-minute walk (one mile) of the project site, and 680,950 live within an hour walk (three miles) of the project site. (US Census, 2010) The project area focuses on the LA River corridor in the City of Vernon. This 3-mile segment passes through Vernon’s unique landscape including the Vernon water tower, major rail yards, the bending of the LA River, and numerous rail and vehicular bridges. The northern-most portion of the LA River in Vernon.

In addition to connecting to neighborhoods to the north and south, the 8-mile LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Project will connect Union Station to Vernon. Currently, there is not a direct public transit service from Union Station to Vernon. With the complete LA River Path, commute times from Union Station to the intersection of Soto St. and Bandini Blvd. would reliably be 2-3 times faster by bike than transit (Figure 1-1).

The development of the Feasibility Study involved several phases, including coordination with project partners, public outreach at local events, data collection & analysis of the existing physical environment, development of alternative alignments, conceptual design, development of funding & implementation strategies, and documentation of the plan. 20 1 6 20 1 7 20 1 7 20 1 8 20 1 9 20 2 0 20 2 1 20 2 2 20 2 3 20 2 4 20 2 5 PA T H C O M P L E T E D I N 2 0 2 5 S O N D S O N DJFMAMJJA MEETINGS PROJECTTIMELINE OUTREACH DELIVERABLES NEEDS ASSESSMENT ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS EVALUATION DESIGN FUNDING METRO GAP CLOSURE PROJECTFEASIBILITY STUDY EVENT #1FESTIVAL SABOR DEMEXICO LINDO STEERINGCOMMITTEE FINALPLANADMINISTRATIVEDRAFTPLAN PUBLICDRAFTPLAN EVENT #2HP CARNAVALPRIMAVERA FESTIVAL EVENT #3FESTIVAL SABOR DEMEXICO LINDO ONLINESURVEY PROJECTKICK-OFF CITYCOUNCILBUSINESS &INDUSTRYCOMMISSION Figure 1-2: Feasibility study process diagram 458 11LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT Outreach Chapter 2 summarizes community outreach. The Vernon community is comprised of people who live or own businesses within Vernon city limits, the many people who commute to Vernon for work, and those who live in surrounding communities who would use the path. The majority of the community speaks Spanish as their primary language, and all outreach was conducted in both Spanish and English. Through outreach events and surveys, feedback was gathered from over 400 people. Three major outreach events were held to coincide with local events: Festival Sabor de México Lindo in October 2016, the Huntington Park Carnaval Primavera in April 2017, and back to Festival Sabor de México Lindo in October 2017. The lessons learned from the community served as valuable resources to steer the direction of the project. Residents and employees questions, concerns, and desires for the path were documented and used to inform the design and planning process. Additional input was gathered directly from employment stakeholders at a Business and Industry Commission meeting. Chapter 2 provides focused information on the needs of Vernon’s industrial business development freight and rail operations, and flood control. 2016 Festival Sabor de México Lindo. 459 12 CITY OF VERNON Opportunities & Constraints Chapter 3 analyzes the physical opportunities and constraints in the corridor. The study area is incredibly constrained by the river channel itself and the railways, utilities, bridges, and parcel ownership within it. The river features two unique channel typologies - a box channel with vertical walls that transitions to a trapezoidal channel with sloped walls south of Bandini Boulevard. Active freight railways run adjacent to the west bank south of Bandini Boulevard and the east bank south of Downey Road and a major utility corridor flanks much of the east bank. 8 total bridges pass over the river, each one creating both a challenge for the path to pass over or under while also creating an opportunity to cross the river. The proposed path will connect to the existing LA River Path that begins at the southern edge of Vernon at Atlantic Boulevard. As it passes through Vernon, the LA River Path will need to connect to key destinations including employment centers, transit stops, a future Eco-Rapid Transit station, and local retail. Evaluation Chapter 4 includes a detailed breakdown of the alignment evaluation criteria. The wide range of potential path alignment options included both the east and west banks of the river and 12 different path typologies, including in-channel, suspension bridge, and cantilever paths. In order to focus the options, evaluation criteria based on three categories (function, feasibility, and desirability) were developed by the City of Vernon, the community, and key stakeholders. Through this evaluation process, a core alignment and two alternatives were developed for the study. 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER CATEGORY 1: FUNCTION Is it a good idea? Would the path in this location be safe, potentially allowed by the property owners, and make the needed connections? Would the alignment separate freight traffic from people who are walking and biking? CATEGORY 2: FEASIBILITY Would it be feasible? Would a path in this location be reasonably feasible to implement with manageable risk and effective use of public funds? CATEGORY 3: DESIRABILITY Would it be great? Would a path in this location create a desirable connection and place, attracting users and making positive contributions to the community? Would the design be inspiring and iconic? 460 13LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT Design Chapter 5 provides detailed design guidelines for the path. A key finding during the outreach process was that the path will be in high demand not just for people riding bikes but also for people walking and running. As a result, the preferred typical cross-section is a 14’-wide bike path with adjacent 6’-wide pedestrian path, as shown in Figure 1-3. The bike path width provides for a 10’-wide path of travel with a 2’-wide clear shoulder on each side. Providing an adjacent pedestrian path helps to alleviate safety concerns between fast-riding cyclists and people walking or running. FRAME, INDUSTRY, EFFICIENCY As opposed to creating a new aesthetic, the goal is to design a path that celebrates and integrates into the industrial context it passes through. Durable and structural elements with minimal ornamentation are proposed in tandem with moments to view and engage with Vernon’s unique landscape. Such elements include amphitheater steps to the LA River and multi-functional utility posts that serve as lighting and shade structures. Figure 1-3: Path cross-section.

The alignments - a preferred core alignment and two alternatives - were developed to provide contrasting options, as further evaluation of hydrological and right-of-way impacts are required prior to selecting a final path alignment. A. THE FLY-OVER (CORE ALIGNMENT) The Fly-Over’s north end starts on the west bank then makes a brief crossing to the east before soaring back across the channel and over Soto Street on a suspension bridge. The Fly-Over is the most direct and most iconic route through Vernon and provides a strong connection to Vernon’s commercial district in between Soto Street and Bandini Boulevard. B. EAST BANK HOP-OVER This route’s primary benefit is that it provides better access to both the east and west banks of the channel. This alignment starts out the same as the Fly-Over in Segment 1, then diverges to stay on the east bank of the river along a utility corridor. The name “Hop-Over” comes from the bridges that provide access to the west bank at Soto Street and Downey Road. C. WEST BANK CHANNEL The West Bank Channel Alignment is this study’s second alignment alternative. This route stays on the west bank of the channel for the entire corridor, without any added bridges for people walking and biking. Figure 1-4: The Fly-Over. Figure 1-5: East Bank Hop-Over Figure 1-6: West Bank Channel 462 15LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT Next Steps Chapter 7 provides an overview of next steps needed to implement the vision. Through the Los Angeles County Tax Measure M, Los Angeles Metro secured funding to design and build the 8-mile path closing the existing gap in the LA River Path. The LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Project will build upon this feasibility study and take all 8 miles of path through environmental clearance, design, permitting, and construction. Metro has a goal to open the path by 2025. LOCAL COORDINATION As the LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Project moves forward, key issues of Vernon’s local business stakeholders require further coordination. Table 1-1 summarizes needs raised by Vernon’s Business and Industry Commission. It will also be critical to communicate the benefits the path can bring to Vernon and its businesses. FUNDING Chapter 7 also identifies preliminary costs for the three Vernon alignment options that range from $110 to $150 million. It also identifies funding opportunities for gateway enhancements and developing connections into Vernon as well as recommendations for operations and maintenance of the path. 8 MILE LA RIVER GAP METRO MEASURE M FUNDING $365 MILLION • Alternative analysis • Environmental clearance • Permitting • Trail construction (grade-separated crossings, lighting, access points, transportation-related amenities) 3 MILE LA RIVER GAP ADDITIONAL FUNDING NEEDS FOR: • On-street connections to local destinations • Enhanced gateway elements • Community amenities Table 1-1: Local coordination next steps. Funding sources and needs. Safety/Security Ensure adjacent industrial manufacturing and food processing operations properties are secure from path users and prevent trespass onto private property. Develop an Operations and Maintenance plan that meets the needs of the Vernon Police Department. Address concerns and develop solutions to prevent potential homeless encampments along the path corridor. Business Operations Mitigate construction impacts on local roads. Maintain rail operations during path construction. Ensure private property owners are engaged throughout the design and permitting process. Permitting Obtain necessary permits from US Army Corps of Engineers and LA County Flood Control which ensure path does not have negative impacts on flood protection. Ensure environmental clearance process is met prior to construction. 463 16 CITY OF VERNON PROJECT BACKGROUND + PURPOSE CHAPTER 1 Closing the Gap 464 17 ch. 1 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT PROJECT BACKGROUND + PURPOSE 1 Introduction The City of Vernon, in partnership with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), developed this study to evaluate alignment options for a regionally- connected bikeway in the City’s portion of the Los Angeles River. The project began as a bikeway study but it quickly evolved through community and stakeholder engagement to serve more than just people riding bicycles. This study uses the term “path” to describe the active transportation corridor along the river. The LA River Path in Vernon will meet the Caltrans requirements of a Class I Bikeway, but will also provide space for people walking, running, and skating. After an extensive public outreach process, the project team evaluated community needs, feasibility considerations, and business priorities to determine the core alignment and alignment alternatives. The purpose of this study is to present project context, describe different path alignment options and how they were evaluated, and explain how the core alignment addresses key opportunities and constraints in the corridor. This project presents a rare opportunity to create an off-street path and community resource through the heart of Los Angeles County, connecting residential neighborhoods to the major employment centers in Vernon, as well as schools, transit, and other destinations. Filling a key gap in the path along the Los Angeles River, this three-mile section is within the City of Vernon and extends from 26th Street south to Atlantic Boulevard. 465 18 CITY OF VERNON Figure 1-7 illustrates how critical this segment of path is to the overall connectivity of the larger LA River Path. Once completed, the path will provide access to not only destinations within Vernon, but will connect users to the approximately 17 miles of existing path between Vernon and Long Beach. It represents 3 of the 8 miles needed to connect the path from Long Beach to the San Fernando Valley. Other Southern California community paths, such as the 28-mile San Gabriel River Bike Path and 15-mile Rio Hondo River Path, have provided communities with the benefits of off- road, protected biking and walking facilities. These paths have connected residents and commuters with trail networks, provided better access to jobs and transit, encouraged healthy and active lifestyles, and created an urban link to the natural environment. The LA River Path will bring these benefits to Vernon and the surrounding communities. This study builds on previous initiatives to re- imagine the Los Angeles River and develop active transportation corridors along it, such as Metro’s Los Angeles River Bikeway Feasibility Study, Rail to River Study, and Active Transportation Strategic Plan. For a summary of all plans reviewed, see Appendix B of this document. The recommended path alignment was guided by a stakeholder group of agencies, local businesses, and non-profits noted below. Throughout the project, the Project Team also received feedback and input on the proposed alignment from the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Working Group. This group is currently engaged in a multi-year effort to produce a plan that will guide the larger revitalization of the LA River between 26th Street in Vernon and its outlet in Long Beach.

By providing a continuous and connected route, paths provide space for people of all ages and abilities to bike and walk for commuting and recreation. Paths provide benefits from several perspectives, including economic, health, environmental, and social equity benefits. While most Americans acknowledge the importance of exercise, many do not incorporate it as a daily activity. The U.S. Surgeon General estimates that 60% of American adults are not regularly active and another 25% are not active at all. Lack of physical activity ranks as the third-highest risk factor for death in the U.S., behind only tobacco and alcohol. Creating access to paths can offset the risks of urban cycling and provide a safe and inexpensive opportunity for regularly exercise, as illustrated in Figure 1-8. Building a well-designed, connected trail system across Los Angeles County will encourage a shift from energy-intensive modes of transportation such as cars and trucks to active modes of transportation such as bicycling and walking. While many of the active living-related benefits of a trail network can be difficult to quantify – such as improved mental health, educational growth, connection to nature, and sense of place – a growing body of literature links parks and trails to increased physical activity and improved air quality.

(Institute for Employment Studies, 2016) Studies have shown that exercising before work raises an employee’s productivity by an average of 15 percent while physically fit employees have been shown to make 27 percent fewer task errors. Staff members who cycle to work take on average one fewer sick day per year and have a reduced mortality rate of 40%. England’s Department for Transportation estimated that if cycling trips to work were to double over 10 years, businesses in England would cumulatively see annual net benefits of $7.5 (£6.4) billion by 2050 due to reduced healthcare costs and boosted productivity. (J McKenna, 2005; H Sjoberg, 1983; Institute for Employment Studies, 2016) A section of path in Swan Island. (source: Swan Island TMA) CASE STUDY: SWAN ISLAND INDUSTRIAL PARK Swan Island is an industrial park in Portland, Oregon located along the Willamette River. It is a regional hub for major manufacturing, truck building, marine industries, warehousing, and distribution, and had approximately 11,000 employees in 2015. In 1998, the Swan Island Transportation Management Association was organized to bring high quality alternative transportation options for employees. In addition to rail and bus expansion, the agency oversaw the design and construction of over 2 miles of off-street paths providing access to and around the industrial park. With the addition of off-street paths, Swan Island businesses have seen a major increase in bike commuters among their employees. Dalmier Trucks, which has over 3,000 employees at Swan Island, added a secure bike parking facility for 53 bikes in 2013 to accommodate the increased demand. “Some of our employees remember when just one rack was enough. Now we’ve got racks near all the entrances and they’re all filling up.” (Dalmier Trucks Project Manager, 2013) 469 22 CITY OF VERNON History of the Los Angeles River Cutting through the heart of Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles River flows from Canoga Park in the San Fernando Valley to meet the ocean 51 miles south in Long Beach. The river, once the lifeblood of early Los Angeles settlers, was channelized in 1938 by the Army Corps of Engineers for flood prevention. Over the past few decades, agencies and the broader community have studied and planned for a future of the river that involves restoration, recreation, active transportation, and development projects. The LA River in Vernon before it was channelized. A major component of the effort to increase recreation and active transportation along the river is the currently incomplete LA River Path. The northern portion of the path extends 7 miles from Glendale to Elysian Valley, just northeast of downtown Los Angeles. The southern portion is a 16.5-mile path which connects Maywood south to the City of Long Beach. Currently that leaves an 8-mile gap in the bike path through downtown Los Angeles and the City of Vernon. 470 23 ch. 1 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT Project Context Located directly south of downtown Los Angeles, the City of Vernon is an industrial center for manufacturing, meat packing, cold- storage, and processing, with a long history of heavy industry. The area is traversed by many active freight transportation routes (both truck and rail). Completing this segment of path is strategically vital because, once completed, it will provide safe, comfortable facilities for people to bike to work, and help reduce conflicts between trucks and people biking on city Streets. By providing a safe, separated space for people to travel by bike, this project will improve roadway safety for both commuters and freight vehicles. The City of Vernon is home to thousands of businesses. With a permanent residential population of 112 people, the vast majority of workers are commuting to Vernon from surrounding localities - nearly 38,000 people a day! Given this high volume of commuter traffic, this project has tremendous potential to reduce vehicular travel and associated greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging workers to commute to and from Vernon via bike or on foot. It will also increase transportation options for those who do not have access to a personal vehicle, and improve safety for those who already commute to Vernon via these means. The project stands to benefit not only those employed by Vernon’s industry, but those who live in the more populated communities surrounding Vernon. 32,478 people live 0 - 500 - 5051-20051-200201-500201-500501-999501-9991,000 - 1,2261,000 - 1,226 VERNON M A Y W O O D C O M M E R C E M O N T E B E L L O M O N T E R E YPARK S O U T HGATE C U D A H Y D O W N E Y B E L LGARDEN S H U N T I N G T O NPARK BELL L O SANGEL E S EAST L O SANGELES TWEEDY BLVD E SLAUSON AVE N MI SSIO N R D E 1ST ST E 6TH ST WHITTIER BLVD WILSHIRE BLVD E GAGE AVE BANDINI BLVD GARFIELD AVE E VERNON AVE MARENGOST W 3RD ST SSANTAFEAVE E FLORENCE AVE E OLYMPIC BLVD T E LE G R A P H RD EASTERN AVE S GREENWOOD AVE W 6TH ST W 1ST ST E WASHINGTON BLVD S MAIN ST SBROADWAY L O N G B E A CH BLVD AVALON BLVD E7THST NALAMEDAST W 4TH ST E CENTURY BLVD SANTA FE AVE SLORENAST CALIFORNIA AVE E 4THST SSANPEDROST E CESAR E CHAVEZ AVE E 3RD ST SGARFIELDAVE W GARVEY AVE E JEFFERSON BLVD W RIGGIN ST W POMONA BLVD W 7TH ST E 103RD ST WOLYMPICBLVD S CENTRAL A V E S GRAND AVE FLORENCE AVE CESAR E CHAVEZ AVE WBEVERLYBLVD W TEMPLE ST E 37TH ST PACIFIC BLVD N EAST E RNAVE S ATLANTIC BLVD S EASTERN AVE COMPTON AVE S SOTO ST S ATLANTIC AVE AT L A N T I C B L V D S A L A M E D A S T 1 MIL E B UFFER 3 MIL E B UFFER ¥710 ¥10 ¥5 Ã60 £101 ¥10 Ã110 LO S A N G E L E S R I V E R 1 / 2 MILE BUFFER 0 1 2MILESF LOS ANGELESCOUNTY SAN BERNARDINOCOUNTY RIVERSIDE COUNTY VENTURA COUNTY ORANGECOUNTY P A C IFIC OCEAN Map produced Oct 2016Data Sources: US Census, CalTrans,City of Vernon, LA County POPULATION DENSITY Vernon, CA LA River Bikeway People per Square Mile Vernon Employee Count < 14,645 14,646 - 22,336 22,337 - 29,083 > 29,084 Proposed Project Extent PROJECT LOCATION City of Vernon 0 - 500 - 5051-20051-200201-500201-500501-999501-9991,000 - 1,2261,000 - 1,226 VERNON M A Y W O O D C O M M E R C E M O N T E B E L L O M O N T E R E YPARK S O U T HGATE C U D A H Y D O W N E Y B E L LGARDEN S H U N T I N G T O NPARK BELL L O SANGEL E S EAST L O SANGELES TWEEDY BLVD E SLAUSON AVE N MIS SIO N R D E 1ST ST E 6TH ST WHITTIER BLVD WILSHIRE BLVD E GAGE AVE BANDINI BLVD GARFIELD AVE E VERNON AVE MARENGOST W 3RD ST SSANTAFE AVE E FLORENCE AVE E OLYMPIC BLVD TELE G R A P H RD EASTERN AVE S GREENWOOD AVE W 6TH ST W 1ST ST E WASHINGTON BLVD S MAIN ST SBROADWAY LO N G B EA C H BLVD AVALON BLVD E7THST NALAMEDAST W 4TH ST E CENTURY BLVD SANTA FE AVE SLORENAST CALIFORNIA AVE E 4THST SSAN PEDROST E CESAR E CHAVEZ AVE E 3RD ST SGARFIELDAVE W GARVEY AVE E JEFFERSON BLVD W RIGGIN ST W POMONA BLVD W 7TH ST E 103RD ST WOLYMPICBLVD SCENTRAL A V E S GRAND AVE FLORENCE AVE CESAR E CHAVEZ AVE WBEVERLYBLVD W TE MPLE ST E 37TH ST PACIFIC BLVD NEASTERNAVE S ATLANTIC BLVD S EASTERN AVE COMPTON AVE S SOTO ST S ATLANTIC AVE ATL A N T I C B L V D S A L A M E D A S T 1 MIL E B UFFER 3 MIL E BU FFER ¥710 ¥10 ¥5 Ã60 £101 ¥10 Ã110 LO S A N G E L E S R I V E R 1 / 2 MILE BUFFER 0 1 2MILESF LOS ANGELESCOUNTY SAN BERNARDINOCOUNTY RIVERSIDECOUNTY VENTURA COUNTY ORANGE COUNTY P A CIFIC OCEAN Map produced Oct 2016Data Sources: US Census, CalTrans,City of Vernon, LA County POPULATION DENSITY Vernon, CA LA River Bikeway People per Square Mile Vernon Employee Count < 14,645 14,646 - 22,336 22,337 - 29,083 > 29,084 Proposed Project Extent PROJECT LOCATION City of Vernon RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYMENT DENSITY: Vernon features a low residential density but is bordered by several high- density communities.

Figure 1-9 illustrates the density of employment in Vernon and population in surrounding areas. As an economic hub, Vernon seeks to promote and improve opportunities and conditions for businesses that take advantage of low-cost utilities, a central location, and access to the vast network of rail lines which move in and out of the city. The City of Vernon operates its own power plant to provide low cost utility rates to companies. Beyond the energy, products, and goods that flow in and out of Vernon, the Los Angeles River also flows directly through the city. Three of the eight miles currently missing from the LA River Path are located within Vernon. Both commuters and businesses report roadway conflicts between freight traffic and people biking from southern communities to downtown Los Angeles. The combination of freight traffic, vehicular commuters, and existing infrastructure makes Vernon a high risk area for bike and pedestrian collisions. Figure 1-10 highlights the existing conflict between active transportation and vehicular traffic around the project area. It shows the locations of 159 accidents involving people walking and biking. These accidents occurred between 2011 and 2015 within one mile of the project area. Figure 1-10: Collisions from 2011 to 2015. (SWITRS) 472 25 ch. 1 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT How can lighting and other elements enhance safety? What are the critical connections to reinforce or create? What unique wayfinding elements might define the project? What features make a path accessible to all users? How can the path serve Vernon employees and businesses? Project Goals The following goals have been developed to guide the Vernon LA River Bikeway Study. They reflect unique considerations related to the City of Vernon’s industrial urban environment, large number of jobs, strategic connection to the river and downtown Los Angeles, and the needs of path users. SAFETY: Build a safe, enjoyable route along the LA River through the City of Vernon. ENHANCING BUSINESS: Increase access for Vernon employees while minimizing impacts to existing businesses. CONNECTIVITY: Provide connections to jobs, the LA River Path to the south, and downtown Los Angeles to the north. WAYFINDING: Ensure the path is welcoming and easy to navigate via gateways and cohesive wayfinding. ACCESSIBILITY: Create a path that is accessible for all abilities, provides separate walking and biking paths, and reflects local preferences. 473 The Vernon Community “Exclusively Industrial” CHAPTER 2 474 27 ch. 2 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT In order to select the core alignment and alternative alignment options for the LA River Path in Vernon, it was important to understand the needs of the community and relevant stakeholders. A successful path will incorporate the interests of the Vernon community, industrial business development, freight and rail operations, and flood control. Community + Stakeholder Overview Most stakeholders share many of the same needs with regard to this project: • creating an aesthetically pleasing environment, • connecting people to the river, • improving safety, • connecting the regional transportation network • developing a feasible project. This chapter identifies stakeholder group needs and provides a summary of the community engagement efforts and feedback. 475 28 CITY OF VERNON Community Needs COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The Vernon community is comprised of people who live within Vernon city limits, many more people who commute to Vernon for work, and those who live in surrounding communities who would use the path. The majority of residents speak Spanish as their primary language. To ensure active participation in community activities and surveys from all community members, the Project Team conducted bilingual outreach. The Project Team used a variety of outreach methods to engage members of the Vernon community in the development of this project. A bilingual online presence was established to share project developments with the community in real time. This included a project website (http://bikevernon.org), Twitter handle (@Bike_Vernon), and Facebook page (https:// www.facebook.com/bikevernon). Regular posts were made on these media platforms throughout the lifetime of the project. Two surveys were developed, provided in both English and Spanish, to learn more about the community’s needs and wants for the project. Project Team staff gathered responses in- person at the pop-up community events, and online surveys were also available. The survey results are summarized in Figure 2-1. The first outreach event was part of the larger Festival Sabor de México Lindo, an annual weekend-long festival that brought over 50,000 attendees. Community members from Vernon and surrounding cities had an opportunity to voice their opinions about the project through interactive display boards, maps, and surveys at the City’s booth. 334 surveys were completed by interviewing event attendees. The most popular reasons shared for why people would use the path were recreation (54%), to commute to work (23%) and to get to downtown Los Angeles (22%). The second outreach event was held on April 8th, 2017. The City of Vernon hosted a booth at the Huntington Park Carnaval Primavera, a popular annual fair celebrating the spring arrival with performances, food, and family activities. This was a great opportunity for the Project Team to present the plan progress to carnival attendees. The Project Team engaged people with surveys and interactive display boards with maps and visions of a future path and potential amenities. Attendees were encouraged to identify new potential access points to the LA River and preferred amenities along the path (Figure 2-1 on the following pages). The Project Team collected roughly 50 survey responses throughout the festival, where community members shared their connection with the city of Vernon, their experiences when using the existing path, and their opinions on why they currently use or don’t use the LA River Path. The third and final outreach event was a return to the Festival Sabor de México Lindo on October 6-7, 2017. As opposed to the previous two events, it was an opportunity to share the project work to-date and gather community feedback to the proposed path. Large boards illustrating the proposed alignments, major access points, and design were hung on full display. In-person surveys were conducted and a voting game was utilized to gauge community priorities after seeing the proposed plan. 476 29 ch. 2 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT COMMUNITY PREFERENCES The Vernon community’s three groups - residents, those who commute to work in Vernon, and those who live in nearby communities - have many of the same needs for the LA River Path in Vernon. For all groups, the path would be a safe and comfortable active transportation connection to the greater Los Angeles area. People on bikes could use the protected path instead of riding with high volumes of freight and rail traffic on the roadways. It would also provide an important recreational amenity, facilitate healthy community lifestyles, and provide an urban connection to a more natural environment. At events and through the online survey, residents gave their opinions about path amenities, facility design, important destinations, and potential barriers to using the path. The majority of people who gave feedback spoke Spanish as their primary language. NEEDS • People want the facility to be safe and comfortable. During stakeholder meetings, community members expressed concern about high speed bicycling and homeless encampments on the path. • The path should connect from where people live to where people work in Vernon and provide access to regional destinations in addition to other paths and trails. • People would like to see an aesthetically appealing path that reflects their amenity preferences and community. When asked to choose from a menu of options, the three most popular amenities were lighting, wayfinding, and drinking fountains. • The Vernon and nearby Los Angeles area community find recreation important. Closing this gap in the LA River Path and establishing more river connections would encourage more people to exercise and get outside. 477 30 CITY OF VERNON ARE THERE REASONS YOU DO NOT CURRENTLY USE THE LA RIVER BIKEWAY?* HOW WILL YOU USE THE TRAIL THROUGH VERNON?* APRIL 7-9, 2017IN-PERSON & ONLINE SURVEYOCTOBER 1-2, 2016IN-PERSON SURVEY WHICH ACCESS POINT WOULD YOU USE TO CONNECT TO THE PATH? 12% 26TH ST 32% SOTO ST/ BANDINI BLVD 5% DOWNEY RD 7% DISTRICT BLVD 44% ATLANTIC AVE 9% NOT ENOUGH LIGHTING 24% TOO FAR FROM HOME/WORK 24% BIKEWAY INPOOR CONDITION 51% OTHER REASONS: 40% EXERCISE 10% WORKCOMMUTE 4% WILL NOT USE 16% RUN ERRANDS 76% RECREATION 4% RECREATION WITH PET FESTIVAL SABOR DE MEXICO LINDO HP CARNAVAL PRIMAVERA FESTIVAL * Respondents could check multiple PEOPLE51PEOPLE334 DOWNTOWN HUNTINGTON PARK HOW WILL YOU USE THE TRAIL THROUGH VERNON?* 22% GETDOWNTOWN 20% DO NOT PLANTO USE 4% NEED TO CARRY THINGS 54% RECREATION 23% WORK COMMUTE “DIRTY” “MOSQUITOES” “NOT SAFE”“BIKING ON STREETS IN VERNON TO GET TO PATH IS TOO SCARY/DANGEROUS” 1 2 Figure 2-1: Summary of survey results from first two outreach events. 478 31 ch. 2 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT 38% WALK 2% ROLLERBLADE 0% SKATEBOARD 17% RUN 83% BIKE 59% LIGHTING 41% DRINKING FOUNTAINS 30% EXERCISE EQUIPMENT 36% SHADE 46% WAYFINDING 30% SEATING 30% LANDSCAPING 23% BIKE REPAIRSTATIONS 9% INTERPRETIVE SIGNS 0% GATEWAYS WHAT FEATURES WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO HAVE ALONG THE BIKEWAY?* HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL ON THE BIKEWAY?* HOW WOULD YOU ACCESS THE NEW BIKEWAY?* 52% BIKEON STREET 13% PUBLIC TRANSIT 0% UBER/LYFT 13% WALKON STREET 28% FROM EXISTING RIVER PATHS OF ATLANTIC 17% DRIVE ALONE OCTOBER 6-7, 2017IN-PERSON SURVEY FESTIVAL SABOR DE MEXICO LINDO PEOPLE31 DOWNTOWN HUNTINGTON PARK WHERE DO YOU PREFER THE PATH LOCATION?* 45% ABOVE CHANNEL 55% TOP OFCHANNEL ON WHICH SIDE OF THE RIVER DO YOU PREFER THE PATH?* 48% WESTBANK 48% EAST BANK 29% IN CHANNEL 3 479 32 CITY OF VERNON Stakeholder Needs From Vernon’s industrial business leaders to freight and rail operators to flood control agencies, the path must balance the needs of stakeholders while opening up a new corridor for people walking and biking. The Vernon Business and Industry Commission (VBIC) assists City officials in developing ways to make the City of Vernon more attractive to business, employees, and investors while considering the needs and concerns of surrounding residential communities. The path alignments were presented to the VBIC and primary among their concerns was the safety/security of their employees and businesses as well as the potential disruption the project would have to their economic interests. Some commissioners also wanted to better understand the how the path would benefit Vernon. A transcript of meeting notes is located in Appendix B. SAFETY/SECURITY: • Would security walls or fences be included in the project? • Would the FDA be involved in the design of the path around food facilities? • Would there be the need for a larger police presence along the path or at pocket parks? • Would the businesses be liable for accidental injury to trespassers? • Would the path be located directly adjacent to business or elevated? • Would in-channel riders be in danger in the event of flooding? BUSINESS IMPACTS: • Would the rail be disrupted and, if so, who would offset those profit losses? • Would there be disruptions or road closures due to construction? Industry in Vernon flanks the LA River and relies on vehicular and rail access. 480 33 ch. 2 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT V 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlant i c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th Slauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gio r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th Ind i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlant i c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gio r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th Ind i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a Al a m e d a Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlant i c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gio r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th Ind i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a Al a m e d a Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon S O U T HGATE BELL EAST LOS ANGELES HUNTINGTON PARK BELL COMMERCE FLORENCE -FIRESTONE WALNUT PARK LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r S4 S1 S1 S2 S2 S3 S4S3 BCBG MAXAZRIA Employment 0-50 MAJOR EMPLOYERS EMPLOYEE COUNT 51-200 201-500 501+ I INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Large industrial businesses in Vernon are the backbone of the local economy. Companies such as Farmer John, Amazon, Command Packaging, NYDJ Apparel, Marietta Corporation, General Mills, and Paramount Export Co. have factories in Vernon because of the convenient location, inexpensive utilities, and general business-friendly political environment. The clustering of industry is indicated in Figure 2-2. In order to move goods efficiently, these companies require wide, clear roadways and access to rail lines adjacent to the river. Participants in the stakeholder committee described roadway conflicts with people biking. Business interests also want their employees to have safe and comfortable routes to work. A path that would separate people biking from these freight and rail uses would benefit both groups. Figure 2-2: Employment density and major employers in Vernon. NEEDS • Maximize efficiency on local streets for freight and commuter traffic. • Address security and safety concerns of Vernon businesses and their employees, including large-scale manufacturers and food production facilities. • Maintain access between businesses and the rail lines along the river. There is potential to use secured access points (i.e. key cards) to provide targeted access to adjacent businesses for employees. • Create a safe, easy route for Vernon employees to get to work. 481 34 CITY OF VERNON FREIGHT AND RAIL OPERATIONS Within the project area, rail lines and bridges run along and across the Los Angeles River and surrounding areas. While the lines vary in type and frequency of use, their presence directly along the river creates frequent obstructions on the top banks of the channel. Rail infrastructure located directly adjacent to the trapezoidal channel is currently only used to move goods. The Vernon roadways see heavy freight traffic at all hours of the day. Since the roads were not designed for biking, people on bikes share the road with large vehicles, resulting in stress, inefficient traffic, and collisions. Walking can also be challenging along the narrow sidewalks on the road bridges that cross the river. There are shared interests between people who move freight and people who bike to create a separate path to reduce conflict. NEEDS • Provide reasonable separation between path users and active rail or freight traffic. The optimal design standard is to provide freight trucks with 11-12 ft. travel lanes, wide radius intersections, and no curb extensions - the opposite of an urban environment that is safe and friendly to people walking and biking. Trucks’ wide turns and blind spots make it particularly difficult to safely share the road. • Design path connections and access points with separated bike lanes on one side of the road to make crossings and conflict points predictable for freight and rail. • Minimize disruptions to rail access and operations during and after construction.

The Los Angeles County Flood Control District holds an easement along the River Corridor through Vernon but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates and maintains this reach of the river for flood control. The Army Corps role is to ensure the channel is serving its flood protection goals and to oversee any projects occurring within the channel or impacting the channel flood capacity. River restoration efforts are underway in the City of Los Angeles in partnership with the Army Corps and conservation groups. However, there are no current plans for restoration of the river through Vernon. NEEDS • Meet needs for Army Corps access to the channel for maintenance and operation. • Meet permitting standards for construction within the channel and coordinate with all federal, state, regional, county, and local agencies that have jurisdiction within the floodway. • Provide hydrological modeling to show that the project does not have impacts to the hydrological function of the channel. The current hydrological model provided by the Corps shows the Vernon reach of the river is deficient in size but there are no plans to increase the channel capacity. 483 Opportunities & Constraints Navigating a Complex Urban Environment CHAPTER 3 484 37 ch. 3 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT The complex urban environment in Vernon creates both challenges and opportunities for the LA River Path. In many locations, industrial buildings, at-grade bridges, and utility corridors are located directly next to the river channel. Electrical towers partially obstruct the northern portion of the project area. Overall, increased momentum and enthusiasm for active transportation connectivity and river restoration create a more supportive environment of the LA River Path in Vernon. This chapter identifies the physical opportunities and constraints that guide the development of the alignment alternatives. Detailed maps of opportunities and constraints can be found in Appendix A.

For this path to be successful, people need good access from their homes or transit stops to their jobs and destinations. Access points to the path will utilize existing road and rail bridges. However, comfortable and safe connections are needed to reach employment and transit centers. See Figure 3-2. Opportunities • Vernon’s Bike Master Plan identifies four Class IV Separated Bikeway corridors. • Adjacent regional bikeway corridors are at various stages of development and will provide additional access to the river for people walking and biking. The Active Transportation Rail to River Corridor Project will create an east-west path along Randolph and Slauson Avenues bringing people to the Los Angeles River in Huntington Park, just south of Vernon. • The Harbor Subdivision is a north- south corridor identified as a proposed trail corridor in the Metro Active Transportation Strategic Plan and will provide good access to the LA River Path. • Roadways cross the river within the project area at five locations: 26th Street, Soto Street, Bandini Boulevard, Downey Road, and Atlantic Boulevard, providing the potential for access to the river and the future path at each crossing. • There are plans to reconstruct the 26th Street bridge. This creates opportunities for the future design to accommodate enhanced gateways to the path and or grade-separated crossings over the road and river. There is also potential for bicycle facilities on the bridge itself, providing linkage from the river to surrounding street network. • At Bandini Boulevard and Soto Street there is a great opportunity to connect to a commercial center with services such as restaurants and restrooms for path users. This area could serve as a gateway to major employers in Vernon. • At Atlantic Boulevard, two existing river access points are located on the east side of the bridge. One access point enters the path from the Atlantic Boulevard bridge, the other from District Boulevard, directly to the east. • A future commuter rail line, Eco-Rapid Transit, has a planned stop in the City of Vernon. Proposed stations for the Eco- Rapid Transit train line, which will connect Los Angeles with Orange County, are located between 0.5 and 1 mile from future path access points. The station at Vernon Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue is closest to the future Bandini and Soto access point. Constraints • At Washington Boulevard, industrial towers partially obstruct potential access to the channel from the north side of the road and an elevated railway bridge obstructs potential access to the channel from the south side of the road. • At 26th Street, industrial properties obstruct access to the channel on both the north and south sides of the road. • Access to the river is obstructed by a commercial center on the east side of Soto Street and the north side of Bandini Boulevard. • At Downey Road, a railway bridge obstructs potential access to the river on the east side of the road. The railway partially obstructs the top of channel on the west side of the road. • At Atlantic Boulevard, rail lines partially obstruct potential access to the river channel to the north.

Figure 3-2: Connectivity to bikeways, transit, and major destinations. 489 42 CITY OF VERNON TRAPEZOIDAL CHANNEL • Wider channel and sloped walls. • A low-flow pilot is located at the center of the channel. Curbs are located every 1,000 feet through this portion to direct water flow to the center of the channel. • Periodic drains are located on the sloped bank at irregular intervals. Opportunities • There is more room to work with within the channel due to the wider shoulder space. • In most places, there is a very narrow edge at the top of bank, and this space is often occupied by other uses (e.g., utilities, parking, rail). Constraints • Structural changes to any part of the wall will trigger replacement of the whole wall panel (top of wall to bottom channel). This can be very expensive. • Curbs within the channel direct water flow to the center of the channel. • Stormwater outflows serve to drain down the side of the channel wall. THE RIVER CHANNEL A driving consideration for the corridor is the configuration of the LA River Channel, which has a vertical wall/box configuration in the northern part of the study area and transitions to a trapezoidal configuration in the southern part of the study area, shown in Figure 3-3. 3:1 3:1 TRAPEZOIDAL CHANNEL BOXED CHANNEL 3:1 3:1 TRAPEZOIDAL CHANNEL BOXED CHANNEL BOX CHANNEL • Narrower channel and vertical walls. • The sides of the channel are at 90-degree angles and composed of sheet pile (as opposed to concrete). • Two low-flow channels are located on either side of the channel; water is diverted to these channels via a peaked center of channel that slopes to the sides. • Periodic drains are located on the vertical walls at irregular intervals, draining directly into the low-flow channels. Opportunities • Future path improvements could include a flood wall to mitigate the problem encountered by The Army Corps of Engineers. They report that the channel volume is not sufficient for anticipated future flood levels. • Occupies less space in a very constrained corridor and provides more space at the top of bank for placing path elements. • The sheet pile walls are easier to cut and form, but outdated. The Army Corps of Engineers is motivated to upgrade it to a concrete wall. Constraints • The vertical walls limit design options for integrating the path into the channel. • With regard to flood control, there is less margin for error; any new elements will affect the waterline. • While the box channel allows more space at the top of the bank, some properties have built directly to the edges of the channel, limiting available space outside of the channel. 490 43 ch. 3 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT V 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th Slauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gi o r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th In d i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gi o r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th In d i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a Al a m e d a Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gi o r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th In d i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a Al a m e d a Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon S O U T HGATE BELL EAST LOS ANGELES HUNTINGTON PARK BELL COMMERCE FLORENCE -FIRESTONE WALNUT PARK LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r S4 S1 S1 S2 S2 S3 S4S3 Figure 3-3: Channel Configuration - segments 1 and 2 have box channels with low bridges, while segments 3 and 4 have trapezoidal channels.

Channel Configuration TRAPEZOIDALCHANNEL BOX CHANNEL BRIDGES: OPPORTUNITY LOW BRIDGES: CHALLENGE I 491 44 CITY OF VERNON RAILWAYS Vernon is an important corridor for rail. An elevated Metrolink commuter rail crosses the LA River in segment 1 and freight lines cross in segments 1, 2, and 4. Freight rail lines run parallel to the river in segments 3 and 4, flanking the edge of the channel on the west bank. See Figure 3-4. There is a need for creative navigation of barriers created by railway bridges and rights- of-way. Opportunities • Freight and commuter rail bridges present potential opportunities for a cantilevered path across the river. • If rail service was no longer needed along an existing bridge, the rail bridge could be converted to a bicycle/pedestrian bridge. • Along the trapezoidal channel wall in segments 3 and 4 there is adequate vertical clearance for a path under the rail bridges. • An existing maintenance road on the west bank crosses under Downey Road and the adjacent rail bridge. • Redondo Junction: unique opportunity for views toward 25-track roundhouse. Constraints • No vertical clearance under the at-grade rail bridges. • Railroad operators require 24’ vertical clearance from the top of the rail which would require significant ramping to go over the at-grade rail bridges. • Rail lines along the top of the channel bank in segment 4 limit access to the path between Downey and Atlantic Boulevards. • Existing rail lines and their rights-of-way extend to the edge of the river channel in the southern segment of the project area with trapezoidal channels. Freight rail operators prefer large setbacks for paths adjacent to active rail lines. • Potential conflicts with transportation of hazardous materials. UTILITY CORRIDORS Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has a transmission line corridor that transverses the river through Vernon. A conductor’s survey is needed to assess clearance of proposed structures under transmission lines. See Figure 3-5. Opportunities • Coordinate path construction efforts with needed utility upgrades. Transmission lines along the river generally have a 50-year life span and the LADWP transmission lines are 85 years old. • Potential to align path through utility towers by reinforcing existing tower structure. • Rethink industrial connection to the river with new sources of energy and the potential to recirculate runoff without draining into the ocean. Constraints • Crossing under overhead powerlines limits potential bridge construction and requires careful design and coordination. • Undergrounding utility corridors is expensive. 492 45 ch. 3 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY -

Opportunities • Los Angeles County Flood Control District has an approximately 350’- to 500’-wide easement that encompass the length of the project study area. • The channel and bank in segment 4 is 100% publicly-owned. • Commercial and industrial businesses have parking lots along the banks of the river with minimal permanent structures. • Privately-owned, narrow, undeveloped parcels provide an opportunity to work with property owners to develop access points. Constraints • Privately-owned parcels extend into the river channel between Washington Boulevard and Downey Road. Coordination and approval from private owners for a path is required to obtain a USACOE 408 permit. • The publicly-owned parcels north of Downey Road largely follow high power transmission lines and towers, which limits overhead clearances. 494 47 ch. 3 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT V 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th Slauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gi o r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th In d i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gi o r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th In d i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a Al a m e d a Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon 26th So t o District St a t e Bandi n i Al c o a Bo y l e 46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Se v i l l e 55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Pa c i fi c 52nd 54th 28th Ro s s 45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers Ma l b u r g Exchange Ma y w o o d 1s t Ha m p t o n Co r o n a Charter Vi o l e t Gi o r d 2n d De k a l b Sears Un i o n P a c i fi c 30th In d i a n a Si e r r a P i n e Bi c k e t t Su n o l P e n n i n g t o n Sa c o Lo m a V i s t a Ir v i n g Chambers 56th 46th Je w e l Aye r s Ev e r e t t 52nd 45th Bandini Al a m e d a Al a m e d a Al a m e d a 45th 52 n d 49th Do w n e y Sa n t a F e Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Un i o n P a c i fi c 55 t h Union Pacific 48th49th 37th Vernon S O U T HGATE BELL EAST LOS ANGELES HUNTINGTON PARK BELL COMMERCE FLORENCE -FIRESTONE WALNUT PARK LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r S4 S1 S1 S2 S2 S3 S4S3 Figure 3-6: Ownership map - The distribution of public and private parcels changes between segments, with segments 1 through 3 featuring large percentages of private ownership.

Separate from the alignment location, there are also many ways to integrate the path into the channel through specific cross-section types and design choices. Alignment evaluation involves a process of considering the pros and cons of each alignment to identify the approach that provides the most “bang for the buck”, with the fewest obstacles and costs, while providing the highest quality experience and meeting the goals of the project. The purpose of this analysis is to provide information to help focus attention on the design solutions that meet multiple goals. The evaluation criteria outlined in this chapter serve to first evaluate cross-section typologies in order to focus the feasibility study effort to develop and compare path alignments and channel crossing alternatives.

At Grade (Box Channel): Requires a railing on the channel-facing side of the path. New Existing Cantilevered to Bank (Box Channel): The path is on a cantilevered structure fully overhanging the channel, but supported by piles located behind the existing channel wall. Elevated (Box Channel): With this type of structure, the path would be elevated on piers at the top of the channel. At Grade (Trapezoidal Channel): Does not require a railing. Cap (Trapezoidal Channel): The path is on a cantilevered structure that partially overhangs the bank. This allows for the possibility for the cantilever element to be a lighter material. Incise (Trapezoidal Channel): The path sits on a ledge created by an incise cut into the channel wall. The path is below the high water level, so may be closed during seasonal floods. This design increases overall flood capacity. B - TOP OF BANK: ON STRUCTURE / ELEVATED This family of cross-sections includes various methods for structurally supporting or attaching the path, excluding a new bridge. Throughout the corridor, the path can be placed within the channel in different ways. Each approach results in a different cross-section, which illustrates the vertical and lateral placement of the path relative to the channel. The wide range of cross-section typologies outlined below can be applied at different points along the channel, and combined to create a continuous alignment.

Grade separation under a roadway introduces safety concerns and lighting challenges. Grade separation over a roadway provides a more open experience with better views, but disconnects users from the surrounding city because more space is required to ramp up to meet a roadway.

The path would be closed during flooding season but would be open the majority of the year. Currently the pilot channel sits on the outer edge of the channel, so realignment of the pilot channel would be required to accommodate a path at the outer edge of the box channel.

Would the path in this location be safe, potentially allowed by the property owner, and make the needed connections? Would the alignment separate freight traffic from people who are walking and biking, as desired by many stakeholders? The criteria used to address this question should assess the most fundamental characteristics of the alignment, and whether it should be evaluated in more detail. CATEGORY 2: FEASIBILITY Would it be feasible? Would a path in this location be reasonably feasible to implement with manageable risk and effective use of public funds? The criteria used to address these questions would consider cost, permitting, and the difficulty of solving known design problems. CATEGORY 3: DESIRABILITY Would it be great? Would a path in this location create a desirable connection and place, drawing users and making positive contributions to the community? Would the design be inspiring and iconic? The criteria used to address these questions would consider the benefits to the community and the environment. 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Evaluation Criteria Any of the alignments would implement the goals outlined in Chapter 1 to some degree. The evaluation criteria are used to evaluate the performance of each potential segment, and provide qualitative guidance to inform a discussion of trade-offs. To evaluate the full range of alternatives and design options, three categories were used to focus the community discussion on weighting each alternative. The general evaluation rating method is shown in Table 4-1 on the following pages. Each alternative was screened beginning with Category 1 and progressing to Category 3. The goal of this exercise was to filter potential alignment alternatives toward a core alignment that best suits the needs of the community. 501 54 CITY OF VERNON CRITERION DEFINITION APPROACH Safety Related to Flooding Some physical constraints of the corridor and the river itself could affect the safety of path users. Consider danger to path users from flooding and access constraints and capacity to mitigate these issues through path design. Ownership Feasibility The alignment traverses land that is currently under ownership of a variety of property owners: Railroad, LA Flood, US Army Corps of Engineers, private owners, and other public agencies. The process for acquiring access or ownership of the land can be more challenging with some owners than others. Where the path passes through or adjacent to private property, business impacts need to be mitigated. Assess process and difficulty with acquiring land from the land owners involved. Identify areas where land ownership is inordinately challenging and may prove to be a non-starter for regard to implementation. Connectivity The location of the path, combined with access points, determine whether the path will serve the transportation needs of the project. Identify any missing links or key destinations that the alignment would not serve. Separation of Uses Different alignment options provide varying amounts of separation of people walking and biking from freight and other traffic. Determine which alignment best balances safe separation with connectivity and access at key points. Ease of Permitting Permitting for facilities in sensitive environmental areas involves addressing regulations from several jurisdictions. Approval may require time-consuming and expensive design and mitigation measures. Different options may involve different permitting agencies. Preliminary assessment of the agencies that would require permits, and identify any particularly difficult permitting issues. Obstructions Within the built environment, there are some existing elements that are more difficult and costly to remove or relocate. Identify utilities, poles, buildings, bridge abutments, and structures. Categorize which could be relocated. Order of Magnitude Cost Even before beginning design, path planners can identify elements of a path that will be more expensive to construct. Reconstructing slope protection or constructing piles and cantilevered structures may prove to be more expensive than those designs that travel along level grades. For the purpose of the evaluation, cost assumptions are: At grade: $ Channel Bottom/ Cantilever: $$ Piers/on structure: $$$ 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Category 1: Function Category 2: Feasibility 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER 502 55 ch. 4 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT Table 4-1: Selection Criteria 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Category 3: Desirability: User Experience The quality of the proposed path, from the perspective of the user, will affect how people value the path as part of the community. This criterion identifies the ability of the alignment option to accommodate groups of people traveling together and provide opportunities for enjoyment and interpretation of the surroundings. It considers potential views as well as characteristics of the alignment context such as noise and air quality. Estimate potential width of path corridor, grade changes, enclosure, and opportunities for landscape, public art, and amenities. Inspiring Design Vernon community members and industry leaders have expressed interest in a bold and inspiring path design to highlight Vernon’s dramatic urban form. Use stakeholder feedback to gauge which path alignment is inspiring and bold. Connection to the River Paths provide an opportunity to address the human need to experience nature in order to have a physically and mentally healthy life. Even small encounters with rivers and street trees are an asset to the health of a community. Assess the opportunity for direct access, and the scale and quality of views of the river from the path. Safety The principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) emphasizes creation of “defensible space” clearly delineating ownership of a place and avoiding creation of hiding places. This criterion is focused on aspects related to the path alignment and presumes good path management, design, and enforcement. Consider potential access points, whether the path will be visible from surrounding activated areas, flood risk to path users, and access constraints. Connectivity The connectivity and directness of the path between area destinations determine how useful the path will be for daily trips. Destinations include schools, parks, residential, commercial, and employment areas, as well as access to other paths. Map potential access points and the destinations that would connect people to them. 503 56 CITY OF VERNON For each category the potential cross- sections were measured using the best available tools, which included GIS data, local staff knowledge, in-field observation, and professional judgment. An evaluation matrix was developed to summarize the results in a simple red, yellow and green scoring. Red indicates least safe, very difficult or very expensive; yellow indicates moderately safe, moderately difficult or expensive; and green indicates safe, not difficult, or least expensive. The evaluation matrix is presented in Table 4-2 If the cross-section typology had six or more red criterion, then it was not considered as a potential alignment because the alignment would not meet the project goals. These include: • Channel Bottom • West Bank - Remove rail lines • East Bank - LADWP Transmission Corridor Chapter 6 identifies the top three alignment alternatives that were developed based on the results of the cross-section evaluation.

With the LA River Path in Vernon, the design process involved development of a wide range of alternatives: addressing the path’s location relative to the channel (east or west bank), how to physically integrate the path into the existing structure, and how to best make the most of the opportunities in the study area while addressing needs. This chapter provides an overview of the path design concept and guidelines. One of the key needs addressed through design is public safety. The design elements discussed in this chapter reflect best practices in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and consider potential flood levels. This section of the LA River Path has a high future demand for active transportation. Though the path width will vary based on anticipated demand and physical constraints, the preferred typical path cross-section is a 14’-wide bike path with an adjacent 6’-wide pedestrian path, as shown in Figure 5-1. The bike path width provides for a 10’-wide path of travel with a 2’-wide clear shoulder on each side. The adjacent pedestrian path helps to alleviate safety concerns between fast-riding cyclists and people walking or running as described by people using the existing LA River bike path. This cross-section width meets and exceeds Caltrans and AASHTO guidelines for a Shared Use Paths. Figure 5-1: Path cross-section. Design Overview Bike Path 10' to 20' (14' typ.)

Security Fence Fence & Light Posts Amphitheater Seating Handrail Utility Posts 507 60 CITY OF VERNON Design Concept DESIGN GUIDELINES The design of the LA River Path in Vernon includes the following key considerations: USERS The key user groups using the path and the features they require. PATH FUNDAMENTALS The spatial and programmatic guidelines for the path, transitions, crossings, and setbacks. ELEMENTS & AMENITIES The aesthetic, material, and functional aspects of path features. BRIDGE DESIGN An overview of the structural bridge options for the path. GATEWAYS & POCKET PARK Concept designs for access points and parklet opportunities. FRAME, INDUSTRY, EFFICIENCY The economic & cultural significance of the LA River corridor in Vernon conjures a strong sense of place that should be celebrated and highlighted through design. Over three miles, the path alignment dives under, along, and through an impressive context of industrial vertical trusses, soaring concrete and steel bridges, rail yards, wide views to downtown LA, and the uniqueness of the LA River itself. The design intent is to complement the context, creating a harmonious aesthetic while layering in industrial materials and framing views to the industry and river. • Frame: spaces that open up views and direct eyes towards or across the river • Industry: details with aesthetic, material, and functional simplicity • Efficiency: multi-functional elements that create more with less 508 61 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT Users The LA River Path in Vernon will serve a wide array of users with a variety of abilities and needs. The collection of users below illustrates a baseline cross-section of users to be accommodated through design. Speed of travel: 1 to 3 mph WALKERS: Need wider areas for traveling in groups. Comfortable on sidewalks and paths that are grade separated from vehicles and fast active users. Speed of travel: 5 to 9 mph RUNNERS Prefer off-street paths with consistent lighting. Fast runners may prefer to share space with cyclists during periods of high pedestrian traffic. Non-motorized speed of travel: 1 to 3 mph WHEELCHAIR USERS Motorized speed of travel: Up to 5 mph Comfortable on sidewalks and paths that are grade separated from vehicles and fast cyclists. Speed of travel: 12 to 25 mph EXPERIENCED CYCLISTS Very experienced cyclists may chose to use roadways over paths. Most prefer fewer crossings, separated paths, and room to pass slower cyclists. Speed of travel: 16 to 20 mph E-BIKE USERS E-bikes typically have a maximum speed of 20mph. Most prefer off-street facilities, separated paths, and minimal crossings. Speed of travel: 6 to 12 mph CASUAL & NEW CYCLISTS Figure 5-2: Path users Casual & new cyclists prefer riding on off- street facilities. Compared to experienced cyclists, casual cyclists are more likely to utilize rest areas. 509 62 CITY OF VERNON Path Fundamentals ACCESSIBLE PATH DESIGN The goal of accessible path design is to create a facility that can be used by the broad range of users outlined in this chapter. To accomplish this goal and ensure continuity along the path, special attention needs to be given to slopes, turns, clearances, and markings. PATH WIDTH The width of the path should vary based on anticipated user demand and physical constraints. At a minimum, three standard cross-sections should be considered: • High-demand: 20’-wide bike path with an adjacent 10’-wide pedestrian path. This may only occur at high demand access points. • Typical: 14’-wide bike path with an adjacent 6’ wide pedestrian path. • Constrained/low-demand: 10’-wide bike path with an adjacent 4’-wide pedestrian path. This condition should only be utilized where the typical widths cannot be accommodated and user demand is low. SLOPE/GRADE In order for the facility to be accessible to the greatest number of users possible, design the path so that the lowest grade possible is used. Paths used by bicyclists should not exceed 3%, but may be up to 5% for very short distances. Provide additional path width of 3’ to 5’ where grades exceed 3%, to provide additional space for safe maneuvering. When slopes are present for prolonged lengths, provide periodic flat areas for path users to rest. TURNS Sharp turns should be avoided when designing paths, as it can increase conflicts. Sharp turns (typically less than a 30’ radius) create unsafe conditions by causing users to encroach on other users’ path of travel. When a larger radius is not possible, the path should be widened to minimize potential conflicts at turn locations. Curve warning signs should be placed in appropriate locations to alert users of upcoming conditions. Gentle turns should have long site lines to help users see potential obstacles. Accessible slopes may require longer ramps, but greatly improve rider experience and safety. 510 63 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT HORIZONTAL CLEARANCES A minimum 2’-wide shoulder is required adjacent to the bike path, which creates additional space to mitigate conflicts by providing space for those who must move off the facility. VERTICAL CLEARANCES Vertical clearance, the space above the path, is an often overlooked design consideration. Fixed objects, such as tree limbs, signs, wires, or structures, should not extend into the vertical clearance of the path. An ideal vertical clearance is 10’ to 15’, with a minimum of 8’. in constrained locations. Where maintenance or emergency vehicles are anticipated, a greater vertical clearance may be desired. Any vertical object that is greater than or equal to 3’ in height should be offset to the side. PATH MARKINGS Edge lines should be marked on paths that are likely to be used in the evening, to increase path edge visibility in low-light conditions. Centerline markings may be used for clarifying user positioning or preferred operating procedure; with a solid line indicating no passing and a dashed line indicating user placement within the path travel lane. Where there is a sharp blind curve, painting a solid yellow line with directional arrows reduces the risk of head-on collisions. A solid yellow line should be used to separate directional flows 50’ in advance of a transition or mixing zone, as passing should be discouraged in advance of an intersection or path connections. Path segments with a high volume of bidirectional traffic should include a centerline. This can help communicate that users should expect traffic in both directions and encourage users to travel and pass correctly. Centerlines, edge lines, and directional arrows.Vertical and horizontal clearance allows for clear site lines. 511 64 CITY OF VERNON TRANSITIONS & MIXING Throughout the corridor there are locations that demand special attention and consideration. These include roadway crossings, transitions to roadways, and at access points/gateways. In these locations, additional design features are needed to create a safe and continuous path. CROSSINGS Several local streets cross over the channel. At these key crossings, it is important to assess whether or not path access is needed and how the path will pass over or under the street. Grade-separated crossings have the advantage of separating path users from the vehicular traffic on the roadway, but may not provide full access to destinations. At-grade crossings of the streets provide the most direct access for path users, but impact freight and vehicular traffic, and result in a less safe and less desirable user experience. Depending on the location, at-grade crossings may not connect to on-street bicycle facilities or existing sidewalks. Path separation and access need to be balanced. For this corridor, the priority access point is at the Soto St. commercial area. Providing access to both sides of the river is also very important, and doing so will reduce the need for users to travel on-street to reach their destination. Some degree of out-of- direction travel on the path is preferable to using unsafe existing at-grade crossings. At-grade crossingGrade-separated crossing 512 65 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT TRANSITION TO ROADWAYS Where the access to the path connects to a roadway, it is advisable to ramp between facilities. Curb ramps are a design element that allow cyclists and pedestrians to make a smooth transition from street to path. There are a number of factors to be considered in the design and placement of curb ramps. Properly designed curb ramps ensure accessibility and connectivity between facilities. The level landing at the top of a ramp shall be at least 4’ long and at least the same width as the ramp itself. The transition should be complemented with appropriate advisory signage and intersection treatments. The suggested ramp slope is no more than 1 unit rise over a 12 unit run (1:12), with a maximum cross slope of 2.0%. The ramp edge should be marked with a tactile warning device to alert path users to changes in the facility design. MIXING ZONES The transition between bikeway and pedestrian paths should be as seamless as possible. Though proposed as side-by- side facilities, mixing between cyclists and pedestrians will occur at access points/ gateways and parklets. It should be clear to all path users that they are approaching a potential conflict zone, with an appropriate length transition zone where crossing patterns are anticipated. Appropriate advisory signage must be installed to prepare users for a safe transition between the two facility types. Cyclist approach to mixing zone indicated by change in pavement surface. Transition to roadway with small trailhead and curb ramp. 513 66 CITY OF VERNON TREAD SEPARATION Tread separation helps maintain separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists by physically separating them. This may be accomplished by a planted buffer, curb, or split-level separation. Split level separation elevates the pedestrian path slightly above the bike path (minimum of 4”) with a 1’ to 2’ rideable curb between them. PAVEMENT MARKINGS Pavement markings through transitions and mixing zones guide bicyclists and pedestrians on a safe and direct path through the crossing and provide a clear boundary between the paths of through-bicyclists and through- pedestrians. Striping may include bicycle lane markings, high-visibility crosswalks, and colored- concrete crosswalks. Other options include inlays or paving surface changes to signal critical areas. HIGH VISIBILITY CROSSWALKS A marked crosswalk along a path signals to bicyclists that they must stop for pedestrians and encourages pedestrians to cross at designated locations. High visibility crosswalks, also called continental or ladder crosswalks, improve visibility of both the crosswalk and people in the crossing. YIELD LINES A yield line, also known as “shark’s teeth”, is a type of pavement marking used to inform path users of the location where they need to yield and give priority to other users, such as where two paths intersect. Yield line/shark’s teeth should continue throughout the path intersections. Yield lines may be accompanied with signage to further communicate the appropriate location to yield, as well as which path users have the right-of-way. Yield lines and signage at a busy crossing.Split-level tread separation. 514 67 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT SETBACKS Portions of the path would run adjacent to BNSF Railway Company (BNSF)-operated low-speed freight rail lines. Guidelines by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy for Rails-with-Trails (RWT) should be followed. Each segment must be planned and designed in detail to anticipate the specific operational and safety requirements and establish special design features and management and operational practices to maintain a safe operating environment. Although RWTs currently operate along train corridors of varying types, speeds, and frequencies, there is no consensus on appropriate setback recommendations. The term “setback” refers to the distance between the paved edge of a RWT and the centerline of the closest active railroad track. Chelatchie Prairie Rail-with-Trail Corridor StudyClark County, WashingtonIntroduction6The popular Springwater-OMSI Trail on the Willamette River in Portland,OR is a rail-with-trail. The trail parallels a track used for daily freight and occasional excursion train traffic. The minimum distance between the operating railroad and obstructions such as utility and signal poles, bridges, retaining wall structures, and fences is governed by the dynamic envelope of rail operations and measured in feet from the centerline of the track. The minimum dynamic envelope is 8.5’. In segment 4, a fence along the top of bank is approximately 10’ from the rail centerline. BNSF requires 12’ setback for construction adjacent to their tracks. This study assumes a 12’ setback adjacent to rail lines and provides high-security fencing to separate and discourage trespassing. 515 68 CITY OF VERNON Edge condition Posts - Lighting Posts - Shade structure Posts - Utility Ground plane Elements & Amenities Figure 5-3: Design Elements. DESIGN ELEMENTS The path design is comprised of three basic components that reinforce the concept, illustrated in Figure 5-3. It is critical that in keeping with the spirit of place, these elements are efficient and economical, each serving multiple functions. These elements include: • Posts • Edge Conditions • Ground plane 516 69 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT POSTS The posts form the backbone of the path aesthetic. As bold vertical elements, they contrast the horizontality of the path and help punctuate key locations such as gateways and pocket parks. They are versatile and allow for amenities that improve user experience to be located in constrained spaces, such as lighting, shade, and wayfinding. Posts with lights can increase a users sense of safety and provide ambient lighting for the river and bridges. Post and tensile shade structure. The posts may serve any combination of the following functions: • Shade: along the exposed segments of the path, posts provide structure for corrugated metal, photo-voltaic, or textile shade elements. • Lighting: support structure for post and string lighting. • Structure: the posts should integrate and serve as structural components for cantilevers, fencing, and retaining walls, where possible. • Wayfinding: the vertical edge of the posts can provide markings that improve orientation, be it color or directional cues. • Context: to the extent possible, the posts should reinforce the context by drawing attention to important sites in the landscape through words, symbols, or colors. • Utility and Energy: there is a unique opportunity along areas of the path to create a new utility corridor and/or to utilize photo-voltaic panels for lighting or to put energy back into the grid. 517 70 CITY OF VERNON EDGE CONDITIONS The edge condition consists of fences and railings punctuated by periodic amphitheater steps and posts. These elements serve to provide security while enhancing visual and physical access to the river. Amphitheater steps provide seating amenities and a unique opportunity for path users to get closer to the river. They are intended to be stepped into the upper portion of the trapezoidal channel. When located adjacent to the pedestrian path, amphitheater steps do not require a railing. Security fencing may be required along edges of the path adjacent to active rail lines and businesses. Fencing height and structure should be developed to satisfy the needs of adjacent property owners while integrating into the aesthetic of the design elements. Security fencing may be required adjacent to businesses and rail corridors. Lightweight fencing materials help to maximize visual and audible connection to the river. Railings will be a constant vertical element along the path to provide separation between the path and the channel edge, rail lines, and private property. In some areas, railings and/ or security fences will be on both sides of the path. In keeping with the design theme, they should utilize industrial materials while minimizing visual obstructions. The proposed design features include: • Repeating posts: using a simple but bold repeating vertical element the length of the path. Small bollard-scale lights could be integrated. • Fencing: using a lightweight material such as rope wire mesh provides a barrier while minimizing visual impacts. • Lean rail: along the pedestrian path, a lean rail should be integrated to provide moments to view Vernon and the river. Caltrans defines specific barrier and fence types, such as Type 26 and Type 732 barriers for overcrossing structures. The heights of the railing and fence will be designed to meet safety requirements maintaining a minimum combined height of 42”. Modifications to Caltrans standards will be made to incorporate project specific aesthetic requirements. 518 71 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT GROUND PLANE The ground plane not only serves the utilitarian purpose of differentiating modes of travel, but also reinforces the design concept and lends identity to the project. Any markings should be designed to reinforce the industrial context. • Surface: utilize durable concrete (primary surface) and steel grating (in select areas). Multiple shades of neutral tone concretes may be used to differentiate bicycle and pedestrian paths. • Markings: the ground plane is an excellent place to include wayfinding and signage in order to minmize visual clutter in the form of traditional post signs. • Inlays: the ground plane may be enhanced with metal rail inlays that connect the history of Vernon. These inlays may double as wayfinding and signage that communicate mileage, location, and slow-down areas. Rail inlays in pavement connect users to the history of a corridor, as shown here at the High Line in NYC. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and should be used for the trail. 519 72 CITY OF VERNON AMENITIES LIGHTING Lighting is an integral part of the path, which will be lit from dusk to dawn. Additional consideration will be given to lighting on proposed bridges and undercrossings to comply with safety requirements as per the applicable standards. For example, lighting on the overcrossings and undercrossings of highways and local roads is required to meet additional safety and illumination requirements that may not be applicable to the pathway at-grade lighting. SEATING The LA River Path in Vernon is predominantly designed for recreation and transportation. However, periodic shaded seating nodes on long stretches may be needed to accommodate senior citizens and families with small children. Care should be exercised in locating seating areas so that there is high visibility from the surrounding neighbors. DRINKING FOUNTAINS Drinking fountains along the path enable a greater diversity of users to utilize the path for longer durations without risking dehydration. Fountains should be spaced at regular intervals that correspond with key gateways and landmarks. Locating fountains with multiple heights will help accommodate a range of user ages and physical abilities, as well as pets. In addition to overhead post-lights, under-rail lighting provides a visually striking and continuous source of light along a path. Simple and integrated seating at key nodes and gateways can transform a path into a desirable place to rest. 520 73 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE & TREES Green infrastructure treats and slows runoff from impervious surface areas such as roadways, sidewalks, and buildings. Sustainable stormwater strategies may include bioretention swales, rain gardens, tree box filters, and pervious pavements (pervious concrete, asphalt and pavers). Bioswales are natural landscape elements that manage water runoff from a paved surface, reducing the risks of erosion or flooding of local streams and creeks, which can threaten natural habitats. Plants in the swale trap pollutants and silt from entering a river system. Trees can be used to provide shade, manage runoff, reduce greenhouse gases, aid in carbon sequestration, and increase urban habitat. They may be used in areas where there is enough space for a minimum 15’ setback from the toe or channel wall (per Army Corps 404 permitting regulations). Public art can contribute to an overall sense of place, perceived safety, and wayfinding. Trees and landscape help mitigate noise, pollution, and heat while creating a sense of arrival and comfort. PUBLIC ART Public art installations and murals contribute and enhance a community’s identity and character, creating a strong “sense of place” branding. Public art provides visual cues that the facility is “owned” and cared for by the community. Graffiti and vandalism are an ongoing challenge in Vernon, as they are with other urban trails and public spaces in LA. Public art elements proposed as part of this project will be carefully considered to ensure that they do not invite vandalism or graffiti. From a CPTED perspective, the use of public art in the landscape is an effective ‘target hardening’ strategy. Public art has the potential to deter graffiti vandalism, define path edges, improve the appearance of the community, and discourage unwanted behaviors. 521 74 CITY OF VERNON Wayfinding can be integrated into both vertical elements such as lighting and ground plane inlays. Custom wayfinding elements can help support the design and community history. WAYFINDING An individual’s ability to navigate through a city is informed by landmarks, natural features, and other visual cues. A comprehensive wayfinding system will increase users’ comfort and accessibility to the path. The complete family of wayfinding elements should comply with relevant regulations and coordinate with existing LA River Path wayfinding while also advancing the project’s design aesthetic and lending identity to the project. Wayfinding signs located throughout the corridor should indicate to bicyclists and pedestrians: • Location of destinations • Directions & distances • Mileage in quarter-mile intervals Signage can serve both wayfinding and safety purposes including: • Helping to familiarize users with the path corridor and network • Helping users identify the best routes to destinations • Helping to address misperceptions about time and distance • Helping emergency vehicles pinpoint exact locations Wayfinding signs also visually cue motorists and fast moving cyclists that they are arriving at the entrance of a path and should use caution. Signs are typically placed at key locations leading to and along path routes, including the intersection of multiple routes. Too many signs create visual clutter, and it is recommended that these signs be posted at a level most visible to path users rather than per vehicle signage standards. Pavement markings are a great tool to reduce vertical clutter, and work well for mile markers and street names in addition to bike and pedestrian symbols with directional arrows. 522 75 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT Bridge Design Bridges and elevated structures are necessary to avoid obstacles, maintain separation of path users from freight traffic and create a seamless path through Vernon. This study reviewed three types of bridge designs that could be used along segments of the LA River path. However, innovative approaches to bridge design and new light-weight materials should be explored. There is a great opportunity to develop lighter, cheaper, and quicker ways to design and construct the bicycle/pedestrian bridge elements through Vernon. TRADITIONAL: CAST-IN-PLACE POST-TENSIONED BOX GIRDER This alternative consists of a cast-in- place post-tensioned concrete box girder superstructure supported on concrete piers and abutments. The superstructure is integrally built with the intermediate bent/pier caps offering additional structural redundancy. This would help to minimize the required structure depth and the overall bridge and ramp lengths needed at a given location. This alternative is suitable for spans ranging from 100 ft. to 250 ft. The superstructure depth is about 4% of the span length. The estimated cost of this alternative is $180/sf. Advantages: • Economical • Most common structure type in California • Low maintenance • Longer spans Disadvantages: • Longer construction time than prefabricated bridge • Falsework is required • Traffic disruption expected High Trestle Trail Bridge Slater, Iowa Weerdsprong Bridge Venlo, Netherlands 523 76 CITY OF VERNON CUSTOM PREFABRICATED: STRUCTURAL STEEL GIRDER/TRUSS This alternative consists of steel girders or prefabricated steel truss superstructures with a cast–in-place concrete deck. The truss superstructure is a proprietary system pre-designed and prefabricated by the manufacturer/supplier. Steel truss modules of fixed lengths are delivered to the site where the contractor assembles and erects them on- site per manufacturer’s recommendations. While the prefabricated products are patented, once purchased, the owner gets full rights of the product and can use, inspect, and maintain the bridge like any other traditional bridge structure. Different manufactured products are available on the market offering competitive prices. Hofstraat Bridge (IPV Delft) Landgraaf, Netherlands Kick Pruijsbrug Bridge (Verburg Hoogendijk Architekten) Hoofddorp, Netherlands This alternative is suitable for bridges with span lengths ranging from 100 ft. to 300 ft., deck width from 10 ft. to 30 ft. For longer span applications, a cable-stayed steel truss option is available up to a maximum span length of 300 ft. The estimated cost of this alternative varies from $250/sf to $400/sf depending upon the span length. Advantages: • Economical • Easy erection/installation • Minimal or no traffic disruption • Shorter construction time • Aesthetically pleasing • Custom-made/wide range of options • Proven technology Disadvantages: • Maintenance cost 524 77 ch. 5 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT SUSPENSION: LONG-SPAN ARCH OR CABLE-STAYED The Vernon community has expressed interest in an inspiring, iconic bridge design that would complement the dramatic Vernon urban landscape and draw people to use the path. Arch bridges are relatively difficult to build compared to cable-stayed bridges. While both require significantly more time to build than other bridge types, construction time can be minimized by using prefabricated steel trusses or arches for superstructures. This alternative is suitable for spans of 250 - 3,500 ft. Table 5-3 lists spans and heights for suspension bridges comparable to what may be anticipated in Vernon. Within this alternative, multiple structure types are available, ranging from concrete or steel arch to cable-stayed bridge option. The cost of these bridges varies from $750/sf-$900/sf.

These are major nodes of special design focus and destinations along the path that provide opportunities for rest and gathering. These areas present opportunities to reinforce the design identity through special paving and art elements that celebrate the industrial context.

The design process involved combining the cross-section options outlined in Chapter 4 in different ways, searching for combinations that maximize benefits, take advantage of opportunities, avoid impacts and obstructions, and meet the community’s needs. The purpose of this chapter is to present the three alternative alignments between Washington Boulevard and Downey Road (segments 1-3): • A: The Fly-Over • B: The East Bank Hop-Over • C: The West Bank Channel The alignments have many similarities in how they navigate this complex industrial river channel, and some key differences which are described in this chapter. Detailed maps of the alignments can be found in Appendix A. The Vernon path corridor is divided into four segments to enable comparison of the three alignments: • S1: From the northern terminus to just north of the Soto Street bridge. The channel has a box channel configuration. • S2: From just north of the Soto Street bridge to just south of the Bandini Street bridge. In this segment, the channel transitions from box to trapezoidal channel configuration. • S3: From just south of the Bandini Street bridge to Downey Road. The channel has a trapezoidal channel configuration. • S4: From Downey Road to the southern terminus. In this segment, the channel has a trapezoidal channel configuration. There is only one core alignment for this segment.

This route is safe from flooding, feasible, avoids obstructions, and employs a design that is inspiring to commuters, industry partners and tourists alike. The Fly-Over starts on the west bank then makes a brief crossing to the east before soaring back across the channel and over Soto Street on a suspension bridge. It then continues along the west bank for the remainder of the path. The Fly-Over is the most direct route through Vernon and provides an excellent connection to Vernon’s commercial district in between Soto Street and Bandini Boulevard. B: EAST BANK HOP-OVER After evaluating all the alignment options, the East Bank Hop-Over is this study’s first alignment alternative. Compared to the Fly- Over, this route’s primary benefit is that it provides better access to both the east and west banks of the channel. This alignment starts out the same as the Fly-Over in Segment 1, then diverges to stay on the east bank of the river along the path of a future greenway. The name “Hop-Over” comes from the bridges that provide access to the west bank at Soto Street and Downey Road. C: WEST BANK CHANNEL The West Bank Channel Alignment is this study’s second alignment alternative. This route stays on the west bank of the channel for the entire corridor, without any added bridges for people walking and biking.

This route is on the west bank of the trapezoidal channel, using a cantilevered or incised cross-section design. Pros: • Strong connection to the river • Pleasant user experience • Significant separation of people walking and biking from freight traffic Cons: • Requires permitting approvals from adjacent rail owner for construction easement • Limited connections with city destinations and major employers Pros: • Adequate vertical clearance under Atlantic Boulevard makes ramp feasible Cons: • Lighting and safety concerns under the bridge • Lackluster user experience traveling adjacent to channel wall • Path would need to close when the channel floods Pros: • Creates an east-west active transportation path to enhance access to jobs and access to the LA River Path • Safe from flooding Cons: • Not on the critical path for the LA River alignment. Would require additional funding. D: East Bank Greenway D4 - East Bank At Grade A future greenway is proposed for the east bank of the river. This wide utility corridor holds the potential for a linear park with opportunities for urban ecological restoration, agriculture, or active park space in addition to a path. This greenway is imagined to occur in conjunction with coordinated efforts along the east bank south of Vernon where the utility corridor runs to Long Beach. The Lower LA River Working Group is exploring opportunities for this utility corridor. Pros: • 100-ft.-wide corridor provides opportunity for a linear park experience • Significant separation of people walking and biking from freight traffic Cons: • Rail lines run along the east bank between the river and the utility corridor limiting connectivity • Rail spurs, which are overgrown with vegetation and appear to have a very low volume of use occur throughout the segment and would require abandonment or at- grade crossing with rail owner/operator • Less connection to Vernon employers • Less connection to the river • Does not connect directly to the existing LA River Path Table 6-4: Pros and cons of potential cross-section alternatives for Alignments A, B, and C through Segment 4 539 92 CITY OF VERNON Evaluation To provide a decision-making framework for the City, the Project Team drafted a set of alignment evaluation criteria outlined in Chapter 4. The criteria are generally qualitative and the Project Team evaluated each segment based on their understanding of the corridor, best path design practices, and professional judgment. KEY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE ALIGNMENTS After applying the criteria to each alternative, it was clear that in some ways the alternatives perform similarly. Below is a list of key similarities among the three alternatives: • All alignments avoid obstructions, such as buildings that meet the edge of the channel or railway tracks, and take advantage of available land to navigate a feasible route through the corridor. • Permitting could be challenging for all alignments. • Private property coordination is required for all alignments at varying degrees. • All alignments maintain a strong connection to the river. • All alignments would provide a positive user experience and incorporate similar amenities. KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ALIGNMENTS Under some important criterion, alternatives do not perform equally. Table 6-5 summarizes the key differences between the alignments. KEY FINDINGS The core alignment A, the Fly-Over, is the most expensive option but not as logistically complicated to build as the East Bank Hop- Over or the West Bank Channel. The Fly-Over provides inspiring design and connectivity while providing abundant separation between path users and industrial land uses, apart from key access points. The Hop-Over does not provide access to the Bandini/Soto commercial center as efficiently as the Fly-Over, but does provide better connections to destinations on both banks of the river and would be less costly. The alignment has the fewest unique private property owners and is not adjacent to food processing properties. The impacts on flood capacity would be similar to the Fly-Over. Overall, the East Bank Hop-Over sacrifices grand design and some user separation for better connectivity and less financial cost. Compared to the Fly-Over and the East Bank Hop-Over, the West Bank Channel has significant impacts on hydrology and channel flood capacity, which could make the northern portion of this alignment infeasible. The West Bank Channel is less expensive and as a result has a less inspiring and visible design. It also has more right-of-way-conflicts, obstacles along the route, and tricky at-grade crossings of major roads. 540 93 ch. 6 LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT A: FLY-OVER B: EAST BANK HOP-OVER C: WEST BANK CHANNEL Safety: Segment 1 decreases flood control capacity because of bridge pilings but does create good user safety. Connectivity: Serves job destinations on both sides of the river and connects with the Soto commercial area. Ownership: Crosses 18 unique property owners within LACFC easement. Segment 3 may require mitigation of business impacts. User Separation: Provides the highest degree of separation between path users and freight traffic and industrial activities. Safety: Segment 1 decreases flood control capacity because of bridge pilings, but does provide good user safety. Connectivity: Provides best connections to job destinations on both sides of the river, to wider Los Angeles, and an indirect connection to the Soto commercial area. Ownership: Alignment crosses the fewest number of unique property owners (14) within LACFC easement and minimizes business impacts. User Separation: Moderate level of separation between path users and freight traffic and industrial activities. Safety: All segments maintain current flood control capacity, but locating the path in the channel bottom does create some safety concerns with flooding for path users Connectivity: Does not provide a connection to the east bank of the river. Ownership: Crosses 16 unique property owners within LACFC easement. Segment 3 may require mitigation of business impacts. User Separation: Provides the least amount of separation between path users and freight traffic and industrial activities. Cost: Most expensive option. Cost: Less expensive than the Fly-Over, but more expensive than the West Bank Channel. Cost: Least expensive option. User experience: Great user experience with sweeping views over the channel and iconic design. Inspiring Design: Bold and visible design with elevated pier bridge and suspension bridge. User experience: Good user experience with views and spacious areas along the top of the east bank in segment 3. Inspiring Design: Less iconic bridge design but still visible and appealing. User experience: Placing the path within the channel is not the most pleasant for path users and reduces the perception of personal safety. Inspiring Design: More conservative design along the west bank without any crossings.

Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has funding to design and build the 8-mile gap in the LA River Path. Metro’s Los Angeles River Bike Path Gap Closure Project will take the project through the environmental clearance, design, permitting, and construction. Metro’s funding allocation has the construction of the path starting in 2023 and being completed by 2025. This feasibility study sets Vernon’s 3-mile segment of the LA River path ahead of the northern 5-mile gap. The analysis of existing conditions, meeting with stakeholders and vetting of alignment alternatives allows for the next phase of detailed structural and hydrological analysis. Opinions of probable costs have been developed for the three alignments presented in this study. Although the route and design variations have not been finalized and are subject to negotiations with stakeholders and the public during the environmental clearance process, the preliminary cost estimates allow for a comparison between alignment options. The preliminary costs also help to identify where additional funding may be needed. Operating and maintaining the LA River path is just as important as building it. This chapter also outlines recommendations for a sustainable Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan. As an exclusively industrial city without a department to operate and maintain the path, this study suggests that a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) or another umbrella organization manage the LA River Path in Vernon.543 96 CITY OF VERNON Cost Estimate The investment required for this critical transportation link is competitive when compared to widening roads, building freeway interchanges, or addressing health impacts resulting from car dominated environments. The initial alignment costs are given in Table 7-1. These values are subject to change based on stakeholder and public input during design development and the environmental clearance process. The estimates also consider a number of hard and soft cost assumptions. For detailed cost breakdowns of each segment and alignment, refer to Appendix B. Segment A: Fly Over B: East Bank Hop Over C: West Bank Channel 1 $25,300,000 $25,600,000 $14,100,000 2 $34,000,000 $17,000,000 $4,100,000 3 $31,500,000 $11,200,000 $31,500,000 4 $59,300,000 $59,300,000 $59,300,000 TOTAL $150,100,000 $113,100,000 $109,000,000 Table 7-1: Cost estimate summary for the three alignments ALIGNMENT COSTS The predominant difference in cost between the alignments is due to the variation in cross- section composition, as shown in Figure 7-1. The core alignment A (most costly) utilizes a higher percentage of bridge structures, the largest cost associated with the suspension bridge. Alignment B (middle cost) utilizes fewer bridges and has the highest percentage of at-grade trail. Alignment C (least costly) has the highest percentage of in-channel ramping which has hydrological impacts. The variation in path cross-section and resulting costs reflects each alignments degree of impact. Though more costly, the core alignment A minimizes floodway impacts and maximizes user experience and separation. 544 97LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT ch. 7 Figure 7-1: Alignment cross-section percentage by length C: West Bank ChannelB: East Bank Hop OverA: Fly Over A: At Grade B: Cantilever (box) B: Elevated (box) B: Cap (trap) B: Incise (trap) C: Suspension C: Elevated - cantilevered C: Elevated - on piers D: In-channel ramping ASSUMPTIONS The cost estimate includes the following assumptions: 1. The cross-section typology contains the bulk of the cost Structural costs indicated in Table 7-2 factor in the cost of the path, structures, and modifications to the channel wall. They do not include the cost of ROW acquisition, utility relocation, track shifting, and special shoring costs if needed. 2. Path width is consistent throughout A total path width of 20’ was used, with 14’ of bike path and 6’ of pedestrian path. This is the preferred typical width throughout the path, where feasible. A cost reduction strategy could be to narrow portions of the path along segments between access points. Parklets, gateways, and nodes where the surface area widens have been accounted for separately, and should be maintained. 3. Concrete and steel grating instead of asphalt is proposed for paving Concrete is more costly upfront but cheaper to maintain over the long run. Concrete would be the dominant trail material with grating used for pedestrian path on cantilevers and bridges to minimize costs and weight. 4. Access points must be fully integrated At access points, the trail must fully tie into existing roadways and trails. This includes curb cuts, crosswalks, signals, signage, and striping where necessary. 5. Lighting spaced every 60ft Lighting the path minimizes real and perceived safety risks. In addition to the path lighting, additional lights have been located at parklets, gateways, and nodes. 545 98 CITY OF VERNON Structure Type General Features Cost/sf A: At Grade • Path at grade $18 B: Cantilever (box) • Slab bridge with C-bent on piles • Piles away from channel wall $170 B: Elevated (box) • Slab bridge on pile shafts • Piles adjacent to channel wall requiring deep penetration below channel invert level to gain capacity $180 B: Cap (trap)• Slab bridge with C-bent on piles • Piles away from channel wall” $160 B: Incise (trap) • Path cutting into top of channel side slope with retaining wall on one side $50 C: Suspension (Long Span Arch) • Bike path suspended on series of steel arches straddled across channel at 20 degree skew $1,600 C: Suspension (Cable- Stayed) • S-shaped bridge alignment suspended on two pylons $790 C: Elevated - cantilevered • Steel framing attached to side of existing railroad bridge. • Mutually exclusive use between railroad and bicycles/pedestrians to be enforced $160 C: Elevated - on piers • CIP/PS concrete box girder on piers • Increased span length to reduce number of piers in channel $210 D: In-channel ramping • Path cutting into middle of channel side slope with rebuilt side slope $35 Table 7-2: Cost per cross-section 6.

Soft Costs Total costs assume 35% contingency, 10% mobilization, 10% design, and 15% for construction management. 546 99LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT ch. 7 Funding In November 2016, Los Angeles County residents voted to approve Measure M, a half-cent sales tax to fund transportation improvements. Metro has identified the 8-mile Los Angeles River Bike Path Gap Closure Project as a “shovel ready” project and is one of the first projects Metro plans to fund. The Los Angeles County Transportation Expenditure Plan for Measure M identified $365 million (in 2015 dollars) for design and construction of the path. This funding will cover the costs of constructing the path along the river corridor including grade- separated crossings, access points, lighting, and transportation related amenities. The Measure M funding does not cover the critical connections to/from local destinations. The funding source also may not cover enhanced gateway elements or wayfinding which are key components to the users experience. Future capital development funding sources for connections and trail enhancements may include state, local/regional, and private sources. The following pages provide a summary of funding sources for the additional needs shown in Figure 7-2. 8 MILE LA RIVER GAP METRO MEASURE M FUNDING $365 MILLION • Alternative analysis • Environmental clearance • Permitting • Trail construction (grade-separated crossings, lighting, access points, transportation-related amenities) ADDITIONAL FUNDING NEEDS FOR: • On-street connections to local destinations • Enhanced gateway elements • Community amenities 3 MILE VERNON LA RIVER GAP Figure 7-2: Funding sources and needs 547 100 CITY OF VERNON STATE PROGRAMS SENATE BILL (SB) 1 The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Senate Bill (SB) 1, provides transportation funding in a number of programs. In addition to SB1 providing additional funding to the Active Transportation Program, another program the City of Vernon could be competitive for is the Trade Corridor Enhance Program (TCEP). This program will allocate approximately $300 million annually to fund corridor-based freight projects that further the state’s economic, environmental, and public health objectives for innovative and effective freight policy and infrastructure improvements. A potential way to optimize freight corridors could be to build parallel bikeways on adjacent streets. A layered network that removes smaller and slower modes of transportation, including bicycles, could potentially improve freight movement. STATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (STIP) Funds new construction projects that add capacity to the transportation network. STIP consists of two components, Caltrans’ Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) and regional transportation planning agencies’ Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). STIP funding is a mix of state, federal, and local taxes and fees. Bicycle and pedestrian projects may be programmed under ITIP and RTIP. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM The Active Transportation Program (ATP) has consolidated a number of state-funded programs centered on active transportation into a single program. The ATP’s authorizing legislation also includes placeholder language to allow the ATP to receive funding from the newly established Cap-and-Trade Program in the future. The California Transportation Commission writes guidelines and allocates funds for the ATP, while the ATP will be administered by the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance. Goals of the ATP are currently defined as the following: • Increasing the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking • Increasing safety and mobility for active transportation users • Advancing active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve the greenhouse gas reduction goals • Enhancing public health • Ensuring that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefit of the program • Providing a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users There are two projects that are good candidates for ATP funding. One are bike and pedestrian bridges that connect the east and west sides of the LA River. Another is to build the on-street protected bikeway corridors from the path gateways to local destinations in the City. 548 101LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT ch. 7 REGIONAL & LOCAL SOURCES UTILITY PROJECTS By monitoring the capital improvement plans of local utility companies, it may be possible to coordinate upcoming utility projects with the installation of motor vehicle, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure within the same area or corridor. Often times, utility companies will mobilize the same type of forces required to construct transportation projects, resulting in the potential for a significant cost savings. These types of joint projects require a great deal of coordination, a careful delineation of scope items and some type of agreement or memorandum of understanding, which may need to be approved by multiple governing bodies. In Vernon, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power transmission corridors are over 80 years old and are aging out. These utility corridors along the river allow for potential synergistic improvements. FIBER OPTIC AND WIRELESS INSTALLATION PROJECTS Technology companies are continuously looking for new cable routes within public rights-of-ways. Recently, this has most commonly occurred during expansion of fiber optic networks. Since these projects require a significant amount of advance planning and disruption of travel lanes on streets, it may be possible to request reimbursement for affected bicycle and pedestrian facilities to mitigate construction impacts. In cases where cable routes cross undeveloped areas, it may be possible to provide for new transportation facilities such as a path. Furthermore, wireless companies have also funded lighting projects when they can attach equipment to the top of new light poles. These partnerships could be beneficial to industries in Vernon along the river as well as future path users. CLEAN AIR FUND (AB 434/2766 – VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE SURCHARGE) Administered by SCAQMD. Local jurisdictions and transit agencies can apply. Funds can be used for projects that encourage biking, walking, and/or use of public transit. For bicycle-related projects, eligible uses include: designing, developing and/or installing bikeways or establishing new bicycle corridors; making bicycle facility enhancements/ improvements by installing bicycle lockers, bus bicycle racks; providing assistance with bicycle loan programs (motorized and standard) for police officers, community members and the general public. Matching requirement: 10-15 percent. ROADWAY, CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR AND UPGRADE Planned resurfacing projects are one means of combining motor vehicle, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian projects into one, multi-modal construction project. To ensure that planned roadway construction projects considers ways to combine multiple multi-modal projects, it is important to adopt a complete streets policy that includes a review all facility types during each phase of the project. This policy and review process should follow California’s 2008 Complete Streets Act and Caltrans’ 2014 Deputy Directive 64-R2 which require that the needs of all roadway users be considered during “all phases of state highway projects, from planning to construction to maintenance and repair.” 549 102 CITY OF VERNON Operations + Maintenance This section covers the key aspects of operations and maintenance (O&M) that must be addressed in order to sustainably provide an attractive, safe, and secure facility. The 3-mile path in Vernon is only one short segment of the 51-mile LA River Path. As the 8-mile gap is closed, the path becomes a regional transportation asset. The City of Vernon does not have a department that could take on the operations and maintenance. In order to create a continuous, high-quality experience, it is recommended that a single entity, such as a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) be created to run all aspects of operations and management. As the regional transportation authority, Metro may be the best O&M lead agency. A new JPA would offer the opportunity to customize the membership to represent the various stakeholders along the River. There are five components of O&M: • Oversight • Management • Maintenance • Promotion and Advocacy • Enforcement OVERSIGHT Oversight of management functions includes strategic reviews; funding plan approvals, and overall level of service goal setting. These tasks should be performed on an annual basis following a staff report on metrics such as financial performance, user volumes, asset condition, and emergency response incident statistics. PRIVATE SOURCES CORPORATE DONATIONS Corporate donations are often received in the form of liquid investments (i.e. cash, stock, bonds) and in the form of land. Employers recognize that creating places to bicycle and walk is one way to build community and attract a quality work force. Businesses often support bicycling and outdoor recreation projects and programs. Municipalities typically create funds to facilitate and simplify a transaction from a corporation’s donation to the given municipality. For example, logistics companies may want an opportunity to sponsor a bicycle and pedestrian bridge that could enhance future cargo bicycle deliveries to downtown Los Angeles. 550 103LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT ch. 7 MANAGEMENT Path management relates to the ongoing efforts of an entity to ensure a safe, user friendly facility. Management and maintenance are closely related, but management refers to the operational context and necessity associated with keeping a trail in good working order. This is an ongoing technical and resource based task from the outset of a path design. Paths require not only managers who will serve as the “boots on the ground” but also administrators who can perform managerial tasks behind the scenes. Managers often help assist with the maintenance of facilities, ensuring the life-cycle of the facility is maintained. A manager contracted or employed by the JPA would work cooperatively with other department heads, non-profit and private sector partners, and agency staff to assure a coordinated effort amongst all jurisdictions and activities. Duties would include: • Development of the recommended component plans (financial, marketing, safety, risk management, asset management) • Financial planning including capital fundraising for additional grade • Separations and path extensions and for operational funding • Coordination with agencies leading various promotions and programs An additional task of management is regular monitoring/evaluation. Annual reporting should include development progress, user counts, conditions survey, intercept survey, comment card evaluations, an enforcement review, and year-end fiscal evaluation. The data collection schedule will be determined early in the year. Ideally, hourly and daily user counts should be conducted at least once per quarter in the first year. MAINTENANCE Path maintenance refers to the long-term well- being of the path and its facilities. Generally, paths and path amenities have a life cycle considered during design and construction. If well maintained, facilities should meet this life cycle. Thus, care should be given to the facilities maintenance also includes inspection activities to detect defective pieces in a system. This could be as simple as monitoring potentially hazardous situations on the path as risk becomes more apparent to path users, or generating repaving schedule as the path’s life cycle ends. Generally, maintenance is completed by trail managers or planners. It includes: • Routine maintenance • Remedial maintenance • Asset management plan ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance refers to the day-to- day regimen of litter pick-up, trash and debris removal, graffiti removal, weed and dust control, street sweeping, sign replacement, tree and shrub trimming, and other regularly scheduled activities. Routine maintenance also includes minor repairs and replacements, such as fixing cracks and potholes or repairing a broken hand railing. An inspection checklist should be generated to assist path staff and/or contractors in identifying potential problems and hazardous conditions in a timely manner. The checklist should include, but not be limited to: • Are shrubs and other vegetation maintained in such a manner that they retain a natural form while still allowing for resident amenity, path surveillance, and minimize personal security issues? 551 104 CITY OF VERNON • Are tree branches, including the trees on the top and sides of the embankments, trimmed to provide 8 feet (min.) to 10 feet (preferred) vertical clearance from the ground? • Is there any graffiti present? • Are there worn pathways in undesired locations? • Is the pavement surface in good condition, free of trip hazards and debris accumulation? REMEDIAL MAINTENANCE Remedial maintenance refers to correcting significant defects in the network, as well as repairing, replacing, or restoring major components that have been destroyed, damaged, or significantly deteriorated from normal usage and old age. Some items (“minor repairs”) may occur on a two to five year cycle, such as repainting of structures, spot concrete repairs, or replacing signage. Major reconstruction items will occur over a longer period or after an event such as a flood. Examples of major reconstruction include stabilization of a damaged embankment, repaving a surface or a street used for biking, or replacing a bridge. Remedial maintenance should be part of a long-term capital improvement plan, funded through an annual reserve contribution. ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN The Asset Management Plan should include defined levels of service and performance metrics for the maintenance staff or contractors, a routine maintenance schedule, an inspection database (including what was discovered, when, and any corrective action taken), and a capital improvements plan for remedial maintenance and network development. PROMOTION AND ADVOCACY The promotion and advocacy of LA River Path in Vernon is important as the user base expands. As demand grows on a path system, so too must the operations, management and maintenance of a system. Advocacy plays an important role through informing individuals with decision making authority about the role the system plays. Promotion of the system is more directly related to the advertisement and education of the system’s users. Some users groups participate in promotion and advocacy efforts while others focus their efforts on one task. All collateral materials such as brochures and event invitations will be produced in Spanish as well as English. Marketing promotional activities should include: • Grand opening campaign to raise awareness and excitement • Sporting and fitness events such as bike tours, runs and jogs, dog walk days to improve community health • Business community engagement for fundraising, Adopt-A-Path type activities, and events sponsorship • Community outreach using online and print newsletters and promotional materials to raise awareness and attract users Educational programs could include: • User and interest group outreach to manage conflicts and address maintenance issues • Neighborhood liaison to address safety, privacy, and access issues • Educational events programming, especially at schools near the path 552 105LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT ch. 7 ENFORCEMENT Enforcement on paths relates to the overall safety and welfare of users. Personal safety, both real and perceived, influences an individual’s decision to use the path and the community’s support of any improvements. Residents may cite concerns about crime, violence, transients, or drug use; however, research has shown just the opposite; a high quality public space tends to reduce crime by improving the landscape and attracting more people to use the space. Design, enforcement, and programming help reduce the opportunity for crime and create a safe and welcoming atmosphere. Enforcement strategies include: • Crime Prevention through Environment Design (CPTED) • Safety and Security Plan CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENT (CPTED ) Proper design addresses both the perceived safety issues (i.e. feeling safe or fear of crime) and actual safety threats (i.e. infrastructure failure and criminal acts). The basic premise of CPTED is that the arrangement and design of infrastructure and open spaces can encourage or discourage undesirable behavior and criminal activity. When all spaces have a defined use and the use is clearly legible in the landscape, it is easier to identify undesired behavior. There are four key CPTED principles: 1. Natural access control helps differentiate public and private space, and considers the placement of entrances, exits, fencing, landscaping, hours of operation and lighting. 2. Natural surveillance increases the opportunity to be seen by others and thereby deters unwanted behavior. This principal considers the placement of physical features, activities, and people to maximize visibility within the corridor. 3. Territorial reinforcement puts the spotlight on undesired behavior and activities, thereby increasing the perception of being watched. Strategies include the use of physical attributes, such as fences, paving materials, public art, signage, and “security” landscaping to convey the sense of ownership of the space. Mile markers and emergency phones are also reinforcement strategies. 4. Maintenance is an expression of ownership of a property. Unmaintained facilities indicate that there is a greater tolerance of disorder. Regular maintenance sends a message that the facility is cared for, while simultaneously contributing eyes on the corridor. SAFETY AND SECURITY PLAN The JPA should work with local authorities to implement a safety and security plan for LA River Path in Vernon. Among the items that may need discussion: • Coordination procedures • User Rules and Regulations (disseminated through signage and marketing programs) • Funding • Emergency access and wayfinding • Emergency procedures: employees should be provided with a flow chart and regular training on response procedures. • Linkages to Risk Management Plan and Asset Management Plans • Incident Reporting System and analysis 553 106 CITY OF VERNON Local Coordination As the LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Project moves forward, key issues for Vernon’s local business stakeholders require further coordination. Table 7-3 summarizes needs raised by Vernon’s Business and Industry Commission (VBIC). Additional meeting notes from the VBIC are located in Appendix B. A focus group should be set up to allow collaboration between the business community and the path design team. The goals of the focus group would be listen to concerns and needs and work together to establish an alignment and path that meets the business community’s needs. It will be critical to communicate the benefits the path can bring to the City and its businesses and this venue could be a great way to engage the business community in that effort. Table 7-3: Local coordination next steps. Safety/Security Ensure adjacent industrial operations properties are secure from path users and prevent trespass onto private property. Develop an Operations and Maintenance plan that meets the needs of the Vernon Police Department. Address concerns and develop solutions to prevent potential homeless encampments along the path corridor. Business Operations Mitigate construction impacts on local roads. Maintain rail operations during path construction. Ensure private property owners are engaged throughout the design and permitting process. Permitting Obtain necessary permits from US Army Corps of Engineers and LA County Flood Control which ensure path does not have negative impacts on flood protection. Ensure environmental clearance process is met prior to construction. 554 107LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT ch. 7 555 Prepared by CITY OF VERNON FEBRUARY, 2018 FEASIBILITY STUDY APPENDICES LA RIVERPATH la riverPATH study City ofvernon 556 109 ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT ALIGNMENT MAPS APPENDIX A 557 110CITY OF VERNON | LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY appendix ¨§Z710 ¨§Z710 ¨§Z710 ¨§Z5 N01 MILESCity of VernonPotential Access Point Potential Gateway Planned Regional Bikeways Existing LA River Bikeway High-Volume Rail Lines Freight Rail Lines Low-Volume Rail Lines Proposed WSABAlternative Alignments Huntington Park Maywood Commerce Vernon Los Angeles Bell Segment 1Segment 1 Segment 3Segment 3 Segment 4Segment 4 Segment 2Segment 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Gage Ave S A l a m e d a S t E 38th St At l a n t i c B l v d Slauson Ave Randolph Ave E 41st St Bandi n i B l v d S Atl a n t i c B l v d So t o S t S S a n t a F e A v e Pa c i c B l v d S A l a m e d a S t E Slauson Ave E 37th St 26th St 26th St Tele g r a p h R d E Was h i n g t o n B l v d E Slauson Ave Sa n t a F e A v e Bandini Blvd E Gage Ave E Vernon Ave City Hall Bandini Islands S S o t o S t S.

appendix LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY LA River Path Plan Review There have been numerous studies conducted over the last two decades concerning the LA River. The Project Team drew from 23 of those key studies to inform the development of the Vernon LA River Path Feasibility Study. Figure B-1 is a visual representation of those studies. The colored lines indicate which segments of the river were studied for each plan, and the intensity of the green indicates the number of studies happening concurrently in a given year. The deeper the shade of green, the more concurrent studies occurred in that particular year. Table B-1 on the following pages provides a narrative summary of these same studies and thier relvance to the Vernon LA River Path Feasibility Study.

With support from the San Gabriel and Lower LA Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and the LA County Department of Public Works, the working group will create a revitalization plan that connects river-adjacent communities to this important environmental resource. This work will then be utilized while updating the County Master Plan for the entire Los Angeles River. The working group consists of three River Segment Committees and five Plan Element Committees. The River Segment Committees are Vernon to Rio Hondo, Rio Hondo to Compton Creek, and Compton Creek to LA River Outlet. The Plan Element Committees are Public Realm, Implementation, Water and Environment, Community Engagement, and Community Economics, Health, and Equity. Both the River Segment and Plan Element Committees regularly meet to discuss issues and opportunities and develop principles and guidelines that are shared with the overall working group. Beginning in 2016 the working group performed initial inventory, mapping, and analysis that has lead into technical feasibility studies of policies, projects, and programs which will ultimately result in a final revitalization plan for adoption in 2018.

If the project is proposing major changes then it would need to go to Army Corps Head Quarters for review, which can take around 2 years. This project should be able to stay at the district level for review.  Local municipalities may apply for a Section 214 agreement to expedite 408 review to a 90+ days. It expedites the process by allowing the local agency to pay for the Army Corps staff time. LA County currently has a 214 agreement.  To meet the 408 Permit the project must show that there are no impacts to the hydrological function of the channel (capacity) and that the operations and maintenance needs are met. The Army Corps staff were accepting of designs that placed piers in the channel or redesigned the top of the levee as long as the previously stated objectives are met.  The 408 starts at 60% design. Army Corps staff open to collaboration and meeting to review preliminary design drawings (10%, 30%)  Improvements above the channel require a 404 permit but the 408 needs to be in process or approved before the 404 process would begin.  Checklists: o Ms. Nisar can provide an operations and maintenance checklist (not on website) o Hydro constraints and NEPA checklist on website o Vegetation setbacks on website (15’ tree setback from the toe or channel wall). 2. Hydrology  The bikeway project would need to evaluate the hydrological impacts with a 2D HECRES system. The model must evaluate up and downstream impacts as well as all future projects. PROJECT City of Vernon Los Angeles River Bikeway Study SUBJECT Stakeholder Meeting with Army Corps of Engineers LOCATION US Army Corps of Engineers, 915 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90017 DATE/TIME February 22, 2017 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. ATTENDEES Huma Nisar, Army Corps of Engineers, (408 Permitting) Hassan Harirchi, Army Corps of Engineers (Hydrology) Chris Chambers, Army Corps of Engineers (Geotech) Deborah Lamb, Army Corps of Engineers (Environmental) Felix Valasco, City of Vernon Emily Duchon, Alta Planning + Design Deven Young, Alta Planning + Design James Powell, Alta Planning + Design 586  Does the Corps has a list of existing deficiencies along this portion of the channel? If so does the Corps have a public document describing the improvement projects associated with these deficient areas? o Yes, the new hydro model increased from 109,000 cfs to 114,000 cfs. (133 year frequency) o Mr. Harirchi provided the channel hydrologic design details from 7-15-39 o The levee safety group survey’s the deficiencies and sponsors have to pay for upgrades. There may be modifications in the future such as a flood wall.  Does the Corps have any large up-stream or down-stream in-channel projects planned that would affect the high water in our reach of the project (aside from the larger restoration master plan)? o No additional projects were identified 3. Geotech  Sheet pile vertical walls and concrete vertical walls are used in this reach. Can you please provide the details for these wall types? Can you also please provide the trapezoidal slope protection detail? o Yes, Mr. Chambers said he could provide as built drawings by email  Does the Corps have geotechnical maps for this reach ie. information on depth to bedrock? o Mr. Chambers said he will check and if he finds maps, he could provide by email 4. Structural  Robert Ngo is the structural engineer who could review plans. Need a structural detail and calculation for review.  Parameters identified in the engineering manual. 5. Environmental/ NEPA  An EIS will be needed (construction equipment impacts to air quality and noise alone will exceed the federal standards).  Ms. Lamb recommends a 100-150 page EIS.  The Army Corps would be the Federal lead agency for the NEPA document.  Can submit at any time for review (i.e. the project description). 587 Meeting Goals: Present the project’s goals, scope of services and schedule Gather insight from committee members from previous LA River Bikeway planning efforts Gather agency requirements, standards, opportunities and constraints Meeting Notes: The meeting began with a project introduction from the City of Vernon and a round of introductions of the meeting attendees. There were 19 people in attendance. The Alta team then presented a Power Point reviewing the project’s goals, needs analysis, plan review and case studies. The group was asked to provide input on how this project can build upon previous planning efforts along the LA River. The following summarizes the main topics discussed. 1.Metro Coordination Metro Measure M has secured funding to design and build 8 miles of the LA River path with a time frame of 5 to 8 years. Metro will be brining on a consultant during the summer/fall of 2017 to take design to 60%. Metro will be doing outreach and alternatives analysis through the 8 mile gap but not until the consultant is chosen next year. Metro is also doing a livability analysis and will present findings at a future meeting. The Vernon project is at the leading edge of closing the gap in this process can be expanded. Riverfront access is largely procured. Lesson learned from 2016 Metro LA River Gap Study: Transitions from bottom of channel to the bank are the most expensive elements. 2.Operations and Maintenance Current maintenance is discontinuous. Future maintenance coordination will be important. Ongoing bikeway closures in the Elysian Valley from Army Corps river maintenance are an example of a problem. Vernon prefers that the County builds and maintains the path. Metro may fund construction, but Los Angeles County Public Works PROJECT City of Vernon Los Angeles River Bikeway Study SUBJECT Steering Committee Meeting #1 Notes LOCATION Vernon Chamber of Commerce DATE/TIME ATACHMENTS November 22, 2016 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Sign-in Sheet, Power Point Presentation 588 (DPW) would maintain it, under today’s arrangements. Vernon is not in a place to maintain the bikeway. Vernon would only maintain if absolutely necessary. A Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to operate and maintain the River Path would provide greater flexibility and responsiveness to ongoing needs. A JPA would allow Metro to be more flexible with its funding. Currently Metro cannot fund landscape maintenance, for example. In addition, LA City does not want maintenance responsibility. LA City Council District 13 is currently reviewing a proposal for a JPA to maintain the path. Metro, Vernon, LA City and LA County DWP would see the recommendation and/or creation of a JPA as a successful outcome. 3. Safety and User Conflict Safety: The river path is currently not on any law-enforcement maps, and is not in the 311 system. The river needs to be added to 311 and emergency maps. Emergency mile markers also needed. LA County DPW (DWP) is coordinating with LA County Trails to install a mile marker system. During storm events, DWP Flood Control locks gates in their jurisdiction. However Army Corps does not. DWP is looking into using warning signage instead of locking gates. DPW is responsible for the lower river, where there are concerns about homelessness and the perception of safety. User Conflicts: High speed bicycling is a safety concern along the LA River Bikeway. Within the City of LA there are no speed limits on Class 1 paths as California Vehicle Code does not require speedometers on bikes. Municipal Code 55.15 governs safety and speed for LA City of LA, indirectly applies to bike paths. Some other California governments (in Orange County) have established speed limits but this is not legal or enforceable and has not yet been challenged in court. The MRCA has used park-like rules and regulations on paths, which have no speed limit and lean on the vehicle code for bike path conduct. Bikeway Width: Metro understands 12 feet is recognized as a minimum width and acknowledges that more width is needed when pedestrians are mixed with bikes. The 12’ minimum is a roadway standard from the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. LA City recommends making the path as wide as possible. Orange line is an example of separate bikes and pedestrians. 589 4. Other Efforts 710 Corridor LA River Bike Path Improvement Project: Brian Balderrama from AECOM provided an updated on this project which is providing designs for path improvements from the ocean to Atlantic Blvd. Path improvements include upgrading lighting to make it a 24-hour bikeway and adding bike repair stations. Access points are being evaluated. Landscape is broken down into three categories, to determine how sufficient existing landscape is. A linear cost was developed for each of the three different landscape tiers. A more in-depth update will be provided at the next Steering Committee Meeting. Other projects: Current preferred Rail to River alignment is Randolph. Vernon and Hungtington Park are hosting a joint open street event next summer. Friends of the Los Angeles River recognizes that many overlapping projects may burn out the public by engaging in too many public meetings. They suggest to consolidate/coordinate outreach. River LA’s River index is ongoing. 5. Property Rail easements follow both banks of the river through Vernon. This is a major negotiation and cost constraint. BNSF and UP easements are part of each property and would need to be purchased separately. It’s unlikely that an unused rail easement can be claimed for lack of use by a public agency. The idea of collecting railway back taxes could be used during negotiations. Coast Packing has been trying to build adjacent to the river but get stuck with rail negotiations. City of LA purchased public use easements on top of existing utility easements to build portions of the LA River Bikeway. County of Los Angeles Flood Control (LACOFC) considers public use for scenic access as part of the existing flood control easement. Coordination with County Council needed to provide framework for easement opportunities. There are opportunities to connect the path directly to businesses, with private access points, but coordinating closures would present a challenge. If private property goes to the high water line, then access can't be prevented. 590 6. Other Opportunities and Constraints  Opportunity for path to connect to the commercial center along river at Soto Street and Bandini Blvd. There are currently a number of restaurants at this location.  Transmission lines along the river have a 50-year lifespan, these are 85 years old. There could be an opportunity to coordinate efforts with utility upgrades.  Flood Control low flow channels could be relocated within the bottom of the channel  Rio Hondo connection south of Atlantic is on the west bank.  Freeway/710 on east side of river blocks access from adjacent areas.  Opportunity to rethink the river from a visionary perspective: new sources of energy, capture and recirculate runoff without draining to the ocean.  Stormwater improvements and groundwater recharge opportunities. Explore permeable materials for pathway surface.  Provide direct access (via key card) to employers along path but would need coordination approval from Flood Control who manages river access. 7. What Does Success Look Like  Engage adjacent business.  Engage the community.  Recommend and advance the creation of a JPA to operate and maintain the path.  Explore the feasibility of bikeway alignments through Vernon that have not yet been inventoried in previous planning efforts.  Identify a preferred bikeway alignment through the City of Vernon.  Provide a model for future gap closure projects. 591 Steering Committee Meeting #2 Goals: • Update on project status and schedule • Review and discuss study area opportunities and constraints Meeting Notes: The meeting began with a project introduction from the City of Vernon and a round of introductions of the meeting attendees. The Alta team presented a Power Point with project status and schedule updates, an overview of the I-710 expansion existing bike path upgrades, and a summary of detailed opportunities and constraints. Creative concepts for constrained areas, such as cantilevered and elevated paths and bike and pedestrian bridges were also presented. Following the presentation, the group had a working discussion of the needs and questions in the study area. The following notes summarizes the main topics discussed. 1. Community Engagement The project team will host a community workshop booth at the Carnaval Primavera Downtown Festival in Huntington Park on Saturday, April 8th, 2017. We are developing a flyer for this event and when the details are finalized, we will ask the Steering Committee to help spread the word. Please help promote the project on social media by sharing the project on Facebook and following the project on Twitter. 2. Update on I-710 Expansion: Existing Bike Path Upgrades AECOM presented the scope of updates to the existing LA River path south of Vernon as part of the I-710 extension project. The project will be adding new access points, upgrading existing access points, solar lighting, and bike fix-it stations (which cost about $2,000 each). Metro’s Rail to Rail project will be using hard-wired lighting on recommendation from security agencies (LAPD, County Sherriff and Fire). There is concern that cloudy days PROJECT City of Vernon Los Angeles River Bikeway Study SUBJECT Steering Committee Meeting #2 Notes LOCATION Vernon Chamber of Commerce DATE/TIME January 24, 2016 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. ATTACHMENTS Power Point Presentation, Sign-in sheet 592 limit available solar output. Until the solar powered lighting technology can ensure safety lighting 24/7 365-days a year, security agencies do not recommend it along paths that need lighting. Additionally, the Rail to Rail project will be using freestanding lighting under bridges in order to avoid touching Caltrans structures. A question was raised about the ADA accessibility to the bike path. AECOM to check on ADA access upgrades from a parallel project. 3. Opportunities and Constraints Alta presented an overview of the opportunities and constraints along the West and East banks for the River in Vernon and showed examples of how the Coachella Valley CV/Link trail project turned constraints into opportunities. The group discussed opportunities and constraints along the corridor. • Key connections: o The group discussed focusing on the areas identified as key connections into Vernon. These include the river adjacent commercial area between Soto Street and o A vacant building at the NW corner of Soto St and 37th St was suggested as a potential location for a bicycle/transit commuter station. o • Property o Farmer John expressed that a private entrance to the river path is not desirable, as it presents another location that they must keep secure from trespassers. o Alta provided a list of APN’s for LACFCD for right of way analysis. o Alta provided list of APN’s to Metro for right-of-way analysis. • Environmental/Historical Constraints o Adjacent business may be concerned about how a path or a park may change their Title 5 Guidelines which regulate runoff and nitrogen loading. There is desire to determine what could trigger a permit change affecting business within 2,500’ of a sensitive receptor (the river path or a new park). Alta and the City will coordinate with Keith Allan, City of Vernon Director of Health and Environmental Control, to review Title 5 guidelines and requirements for river adjacent business. o The Farmer John mural along the river is said to be 50 years old. Does it have historical value? If so, what are the constraints? • Operations & Maintenance o Metro’s office of Extraordinary Innovation could lead the investigation of determining options for a group to take on the operations and maintenance (O&M) of the path. Alta 593 to follow up with Metro about the feasibility and time frame for the Office of Extraordinary Innovation to develop options for LA River Path O & M Plan. 4. Next Steps Project team will develop and evaluate alignments to present to Steering Committee in March Project team will be meeting with Metrolink, UPRR and Army Corps. 594 Steering Committee Meeting #3 Goals: • Review and discuss stakeholder and community engagement efforts, alignment alternatives, and project theme concepts. • Stakeholder Outreach • Alta and the City met with the US Army Corps in February 2017. o Existing channel size is deficient based on latest hydro model o Constraints to in-channel structures o Opportunity to improve deficiencies in river capacity through path design o Supportive of design process o Open to early reviews and collaboration through permitting process o Data Provided: o As-built channel drawings • Alta and the City met with Metrolink in May 2017. o Metrolink prefers path to go under tracks o Require 24’ vertical clearance over tracks o Will grant variance to vertical clearance under o Standard 16.5 vertical clearance under tracks for trucks o Supportive of design process o Data Provided: o Construction plans for the Redondo Junction Flyover • Community Engagement The Alta Team and Vernon staff held a workshop at a booth at the Carnival Primavera Downtown Festival in Huntington Park in May 2017. 100% of in-person surveys were PROJECT City of Vernon Los Angeles River Bikeway Study SUBJECT Steering Committee Meeting #3 Notes LOCATION MLA Office DATE/TIME May 24, 2017 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. ATTACHMENTS Power Point Presentation, Sign-in sheet 595 conducted in Spanish, English was also available. Notable community feedback included: • Of the 40 attendees of the event mostly lived near or in the City of Vernon. 3 Lived in the Vernon and 8 respondents worked in Vernon. Everyone was supportive of the project. • There is a perceived fear that the river is an unsafe space to be for both flood related aspects and personal safety. • Respondents would like to see access points primarily at Soto St/Bandini Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue. • Lighting, safety, bike fix-it stations and landscaping were the highest ranked amenities. • Opportunities and Constraints As a review from the previous Steering Committee Meeting, Alta summarized the opportunities and constraints through the project area, emphasizing the drivers in evaluating alignment options. These included channel configuration, ownership, bridges, railways, and connectivity and access. • Alignment Evaluation Alta discussed the approach to evaluating potential bikeway alignments, explaining metrics, potential cross sections, and resulting alignments. • Evaluation Metrics: A tiered point system was created for the following three . o Tier 1: Is it a good idea? o Is it in a safe location? Is access potentially allowed by the property owner? Does it provide connections? o Tier 2: Would it be feasible? o Cost, permitting, difficulty of solving known design problems o Tier 3: Would it be great? o User experience, community benefits, and environmental benefits • There was consensus among the Steering Committee members at the meeting that these metrics were a good way to evaluate the alignments. Three alignments were presented. The alignment options provide variations for alignment along the northern, box, segment of the river. The segments can be interchangeable but were presented for comparison. See attached pdf for alignment maps and sections. • Alignment 1: The Flyover: • Assumes the path will be going OVER the railways north of the City of Vernon. 596 • Comments from Steering Committee Members: o The suspension bridge could be a major regional iconic element which brings attention and visitors to Vernon and the bike path. (Cal trans). o There are concerns about what the long-term maintenance of the bike path will be, especially as the conversation moves into larger scale projects like suspended bridges (LA County Flood Control). o Elevated/suspended areas should potentially have increased widths for safety, viewpoints, and improved experience. • Southern Alignment (Same for all three alignments) • Comments from Steering Committee Members: o The Lower LA River working group (AB530) has heard from stakeholders that there is a desire for a future equestrian network reaching from Long Beach to Griffith Park. Evaluate the potential for an equestrian path through the Vernon segment. o Lower LA River working group (AB 530) has discussed a potential joint powers authority for maintenance of the river corridor led by LA County Flood Control, the Army Corps, and individual cities. o The City of Vernon agreed to pass along the new section for the Atlantic Avenue Bridge project to the steering committee (request from LA County flood control). o The bikeway could be divided, so a portion is bike oriented and can support H-20 loads for maintenance vehicles, while the other portion would only be for pedestrians, no maintenance vehicles, and therefore simpler and cheaper to build. • Alignment 2: East Bank Hop Over • Assumes the path will be going OVER the railways north of the City of Vernon. • Comments from Steering Committee Members: o Elevated/suspended areas should potentially have increased widths for safety, viewpoints, and improved experience. • Alignment 3: West Bank Channel • Assumes the path will be going UNDER the railways north of the City of Vernon along the channel bottom. • Comments from Steering Committee Members: o Prefer not to be on the channel bottom. The bridge options would be more user friendly. o Important to make connections at the cross streets. 597 • Pathway Themes • Layer • The layer theme was well received by the by Steering Committee and will be carried forward into the Feasibility study • Comments from Steering Committee Members: o In embracing the industrial aesthetic, care should be taken to not produce an overly stark, unwelcoming landscape. o Shipping containers could be re-used in this project. o The surrounding architectural beauty of Vernon is functional, it is important that future design also embrace functional design elements. • Frame • The frame theme was well received by the by Steering Committee and will be carried forward into the Feasibility study • Comments from Steering Committee Members: o Lower LA River working group (AB 530) community engagement has heard that people want to emphasized the idea of this theme, add art, give portions of the corridor city specific identities, so users know they are moving through different places as they go down the river, and provide increased lighting for safety • Scribe • The scribe theme was not seen as a theme that would fit into the City of Vernon’s identity and branding. It will not be carried forward into the Feasibility Study. • Comments from Steering Committee Members: o Concern about who would manage/maintain art and graffiti 598   Steering Committee Meeting #4 Goals:  Review and discuss draft plan, design concept, alignment alternatives, implementation, funding, and plan approval process.  Item 1: Project Name  Project name revised from LA River Bikeway Feasibility Study to LA River Path Feasibility Study  Based on the desire to accommodate multiple users, not just cyclists  Comments/Discussion: o (no steering committee comments)  Item 2: Project Goals  5 overarching goals include safety, accessibility, river access, connectivity, and wayfinding.  Comments/Discussion: o (no steering committee comments)  Item 3: Outreach  Business groups, freight and rail, and flood control interests have been consulted during this process  Community outreach o Two outreach events have been held and documented: Festival Sabor de Mexico Lindo (2016) and HP Carnaval Primavera Festival (2016). o Input has helped guide understanding of key user groups, desired amenities, and primary access points to river path. PROJECT City of Vernon Los Angeles River Path Study SUBJECT Steering Committee Meeting #4 Notes LOCATION Vernon City Hall Office DATE/TIME October 2, 2017 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. ATTACHMENTS Presentation, Sign-in sheet 599 o Third and final outreach event upcoming at Festival Sabor de Mexico Lindo (2017).  Comments/Discussion: o Per MLA employees, outreach boards for third event with have a large rendering, written surveys, and an engagement activity. o Per CALTRANS employee, consider having a bike on-hand at event to draw attention. o Per LACPW employee, it is important to take surveys to people, as few will come by the booth unprompted.  Item 4: Opportunities and Constraints  Project logically broken into four segments that correspond to real world opportunities and constraints.  Comments/Discussion: o (no steering committee comments)  Item 5: Evaluation  Three evaluative tiers used to determine the three alignments and select a core alignment  Tiers are: o Function: Is it a good idea? o Feasibility: Can it be built? o Desirability: Is it great?  Comments/Discussion: o (no steering committee comments)  Item 6: Design and Vision  Primary design concept celebrates frame, industry, and efficiency  Materials / aesthetics intended to complement the existing Vernon aesthetic with I-beams, trusses, steel, corrugated metal, concrete, etc…  Typical cross-section includes separated bike and pedestrian paths, buffers and security fences (along rail lines), handrails, amphitheater seating, and utility posts. Amphitheater seating allows sections of the path to not require a handrail.  Utility posts provide opportunity for unique lighting, tensile shade structures, and future utility lines.  Gateways and access points align with key locations identified in community outreach.  Bridge locations spaced along the alignments provide unique opportunities and challenges. New bridges provide a unique opportunity to create a landmark 600 feature. A big move such as this is an opportunity to change the perspective of the area.  Comments/Discussion: o Per CALTRANS employee, show white edge striping along wall, as the full width will not be useable to cyclists. o Per LACPW employee, concern over access for emergency vehicles. Team Response: At a minimum, the trail will be designed for H-10 loading which covers emergency vehicles and could be required to go up to H-20 loading. Emergency access has less to do with alignments and more with construction details. Overall the trail makes emergency access much better. o Due to space constraints and concerns over impacting flood control, shade along the bulk of the trail is limited to structures. Trees may be located at parklets, gateways, and access points.  Item 7: Alignments  Three alignments are: o Core alignment: The Fly-over o Alignment B: East Bank Hop-Over o Alignment C: West Bank Channel  All three alignments follow the same alignment for segment four south of Downey Bridge  Comments/Discussion: o Per CITY OF VERNON employees, Bandini @ Soto is a critical access point because of its adjacency Farmer John, which employs upwards of 10,000 people. o Per METRO employees, regarding the in-channel alignment, prior studies identified numerous issues which include flood risk, dry-season flow, maintenance, personal safety concerns, and challenges/cost of accessing the surrounding areas.  Item 8: Implementation  Preliminary cost estimates have been developed for the three alignments: o The Fly-over ($150M): most expensive due to the high percentage of on- structure cross-section. This minimizes at-grade crossings provides the most unique user experience. o East Bank Hop-Over ($113M): second most expensive due to use of structures. Avoids major impacts of hydrology. o West Bank Channel ($109M): least expensive due to relatively simple cross- sections that minimize the use of structures. However, this alignment has 601 major potential hydrology and maintenance concerns being located in the channel for the first two segments.  Funding o Metro measure M funding covers $365M for the 8-mile gap. This is enough to cover the base trail construction costs, but does not include on street connections to the trail. o Additional funds needed for local connections, gateways, and amenities.  Caltrans Sustainability Grant (Planning Grant) o An opportunity to get funding for a study of 5 access points and 3 major corridors that will get users to the river. o Project titled “Vernon Los Angeles River Path Active Transportation Access Plan” o Due in October.  Comments/Discussion: o Per CALTRANS employees, the grant will be strengthened by and emphasis on equity and access to work. It is important to explicitly state and demonstrate the expected consequences of the project. Political viability and general feasibility should be somewhat understood and included in the grant application. The adopted Vernon BMP (which has already been vetted with public) will be an asset to elevate the application. Need to prove it will be a highly implementable study. Even though Vernon has a small population, make the case for the “daytime population” of employees. o Per METRO employees, Metro is considering river adjacent paths for cycle IV funding and may include it in the core construction of the path.  Final Comments  Consider showing grades (up vs. down) on alignments as well as over vs. under crossings relative to bridges for clarity.  Send invites for outreach event invites to steering committee list. 602 VE R N O N   L A   R I V E R   P A T H   ‐   C O S T   E S T I M A T E Se g m e n t   1 A:   T H E   F L Y O V E R B :   E A S T   B
