City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-510-2019
Submitted by: Jim Enriquez
Submitting Department: Fire Department
Meeting Date: November 19, 2019
SUBJECT
Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 7 - Fire Regulations, and Adoption of the 2019 California Fire Code
by Reference
Recommendation:
A. Find that the action proposed is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this ordinance is
not considered 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, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the proposed ordinance, no such
activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the
case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which
provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
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 adoption of state-mandated
construction codes, and the revisions to those codes merely improve the safety of buildings and will not have any effect
on the environment; and
B. Conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1262 amending various sections of Chapter 7 of the Vernon
Municipal Code, along with amendments, additions and deletions and adopting by reference the following code: (1) the
2019 California Fire Code.
Background:
The Council introduced and conducted first reading of Ordinance No. 1261 at its November 5, 2019 Regular meeting.
After conducting a public hearing, staff recommends Council conduct second reading and adopt the ordinance.
The State of California Building Standards Commission (“Commission”) recently adopted the 2019 California Fire
Code as part nine (9) of the California Building Standards Codes or CBSC. Section 17958 of the California Health
and Safety Code requires that the latest edition of the California Building Standards Codes automatically apply to local
construction 180 days after they become effective at the state level. Since the CBSC became effective at the state level
on July 1, 2019, they are scheduled to become effective at the local level on January 1, 2020.
Pursuant to Sections 50022.2 et seq. of the California Government Code, which authorizes the City to adopt the
California Fire Code, the City intends to adopt with amendments the California Fire Code.
Only changes to building standards need to be justified on the basis of local climatic, geological, or topographical
conditions. The establishment of administrative standards does not require justification pursuant to the California Health
& Safety Code.
City staff has reviewed the state fire code and have proposed a number of local amendments for adoption within the
Vernon Municipal Code with the proper justifications to be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission.
The allowable justifications, on the basis of local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions, in summary, are as
follows:
Local climatic conditions.
The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire hazards to the public health and
welfare in the City of Vernon. The hot, dry weather in combination with Santa Ana winds results in extreme fire
conditions for the community which increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another.
The aforementioned conditions combined with the geological characteristics of the county and near the City create
hazardous conditions for which departure from some of the provisions of the California Building Standards Code is
reasonably necessary.
Local geological conditions.
The City of Vernon is subject to earthquake hazards caused by the location of nearby earthquake faults causing active
seismic activity in the area. Known faults which potentially could cause seismic activity in the City include the Whittier
Fault to the east, the Raymond Fault to the north, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault to the west. Said faults are
generally considered major Southern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any time and can
create tremendous loss of life and damage to structures in the City. Thus, because the City is within a seismic area
which includes earthquake faults within the County of Los Angeles and near the City, the modifications and changes
cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair
of damaged property following a local emergency.
Local topographical conditions.
The City of Vernon is coupled with the density of buildings, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings, narrow streets
potentially create a problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. Additionally, long periods
of dry, hot weather, combined with unpredictable seasonal winds (Santa Ana wind conditions) result in increased
exposure to fire risk. The heavy rains tend to over-saturate the soil for a short time period during the year, having a
detrimental effect on in-ground structures affected by varying moisture conditions.
Administrative amendments.
Lastly, Fire staff is recommending that additional amendments to the codes be adopted in order to provide
administrative clarification. Such amendments do not modify the building standards found in the state codes. Instead,
these amendments establish administrative standards for such activities as the establishment and collection of fees, the
issuance of permits, and the effective enforcement of building standards.
2019 Vernon Fire Code
The California Fire Code regulates minimum fire safety requirements for new and existing buildings, facilities, storage
and processes. The California Fire Code addresses fire prevention, fire protection, life safety, and safe storage and use
of hazardous materials in new and existing buildings, facilities, storage and processes. It is recommended that the 2019
California Fire Code, including the appendices and standards contained therein, published by the International Code
Council and the California Building Standards Commission be adopted as the Fire Code of the City of Vernon with the
proposed amendments outlined herein. The proposed amendments for the Fire Code are summarized as follows:
1)General authority and responsibilities
2)Permits
3)Fee schedule
4)Responsibility
5)Definitions
6)Outside storage
7)Vehicle impact protection
8)Fire apparatus access roads
9)Fire protection water supplies
10)Fire protection systems
11)Spray finishing
12)Explosives
13)Storage (flammable and combustible liquids)
14)Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas
Upon approval and adoption of the proposed ordinance, the City is required to file a certified copy of the amendments
and justifications with the Commission.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the City by adopting this ordinance.

PROPOSED CEQA
FINDINGS:Staff will recommend that the City
Council find the proposed ordinance is exempt
from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
as this ordinance is not considered a “project”
under CEQA which is defined as a whole of 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,Cal.Pub.Res.Code Section
21065.Under the proposed ordinance,no such
activityisbeing undertaken.Even iftheordinance
were to be considered a “project”under CEQA,
which is not the case,the ordinance would be
covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)which provides
that CEQA applies only to projects which have
thepotential for causing a significant effect onthe
environment.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 adoption of
state-mandated construction codes,and the
revisions to those codes merely improve the
safety of buildings and will not have any effect on
theenvironment.
If you challenge the adoption of the proposed
ordinance to amend Chapter 7,Fire Regulations
of the Vernon Municipal Code and repealing all
prior ordinancesand partofordinances in conflict
therewith or any provision thereof in court,you

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-493-2019
Submitted by: Joanna Moreno
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: November 19, 2019
SUBJECT
Public Hearing Regarding Proposed Changes in Water Rates and Resolution Approving and Adopting a Revised Water
Rate Schedule
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15273(a)(4), which states that CEQA does not apply to the establishment,
modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other charges by public agencies which the
public agency finds are for the purpose of obtaining funds for capital projects, necessary to maintain service within
existing service areas. Furthermore, even if the proposed changes in water rates were subject to CEQA review, the
approval requested is exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only
applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment, for the reason that any construction
that may occur in the future by a private party relying on this approval would be subject to CEQA review at that
time; and
B. Provided that a majority of owners/tenants of the affected properties have not submitted written protests as
of the end of the Public Hearing, adopt a resolution adopting a revised schedule of water rates and repealing all
resolutions in conflict.
Background:
Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) owns and operates a potable water system that annually provides approximately 6,900
acre-feet of water to its customer base. VPU currently serves its customer base with groundwater and, on an as-needed
basis, costly imported surface water purchased from Central Basin Municipal Water District. The major components of
the water system consist of eight active groundwater production wells, one standby well, three booster plants with
fourteen active booster pumps, eight storage reservoirs, and approximately forty-nine miles of distribution pipeline. Due
to the overall age of facilities and deferred maintenance, many of the water facilities have fallen into disrepair.
Mechanical breakdowns occur frequently and most of the facilities require repair or rehabilitation. The Water Division
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will address the dire state of the water facilities, add reliability and capacity, facilitate
more efficient water system operations, and ultimately eliminate dependence on costly imported water. In order to fund
the Water Division CIP, City of Vernon (“City”) staff is seeking to obtain bond financing. To secure bond financing, the
water utility must secure a proper credit rating and meet the required debt service coverage.
On May 9, 2019, City staff presented to the Business and Industry Commission (BIC) regarding a then-proposed
water rate study as well as the Water Division CIP that would address aging infrastructure. The presentation was
well-received by the BIC.
On June 4, 2019, City Council (“Council”) approved a Services Agreement with Interstate Gas Services, Inc. dba
IGService (“IGService”) to update the April 2018 Water Rate Study. As the Council is aware, City staff is currently
going through the process to issue water revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000)
to finance the water utility’s CIP. The updated rate study (“2019 Rate Study”) and corresponding proposed rate
increases are a critical factor in securing tax-exempt bond financing as the increased revenue will enable the water utility
to secure a proper credit rating, meet the required debt service coverages, and ensure repayment of the bonds.
Due to the state of the Water Division facilities, many CIP projects were urgent in nature and, as such, critical projects
commenced prior to the receipt of bond proceeds after Council approved Resolution No. 2019-18 on June 18, 2019,
declaring the City’s official intent to reimburse expenditures from the proceeds of obligations to be issued by the City of
Vernon, a related party or other affiliate, and approving certain related actions. Resolution No. 2019-18 authorized the
Water Division to utilize bond funding, once available, to replace City reserves used to fund urgently-needed CIP
projects.
The 2019 Rate Study was completed on September 26, 2019. On October 1, 2019, City staff and IGServices
presented to Council the results of the 2019 Rate Study, including the recommended changes to water rates.
Additionally, City staff and IGServices reported to Council the process for adopting new rates. Subsequently, as part of
the aforementioned process and pursuant to California Constitution Article XIII D, § 6 (“Proposition 218”), a Notice of
Public Hearing Regarding Proposed Changes in Water Rates was mailed to customers along with an invitation to attend
an informational meeting scheduled for October 22, 2019. The informational meeting was held on the abovementioned
date. VPU Staff and IGServices presented to attendees and proceeded to answer questions posed by the audience. A
total of two companies attended the informational meeting.
Consistent with the 2019 Rate Study, staff proposes that the Water Rate Schedule and the City’s billing policy be
simultaneously modified to remove the Utility User Tax (UUT) Credit and increase rates, as further described in the
proposed resolution.
The proposed rates cannot be imposed/increased if a majority of owners/tenants of the affected properties submit
written protests. All allowable protests received will be tabulated prior to- and at the conclusion of- the Public Hearing.
If protests are received from fifty percent or less of the affected properties, the proposed rates may be adopted.
Fiscal Impact:
If approved and adopted, the proposed water rates will go into effect on January 1, 2020. As such, the water utility will
receive the corresponding additional revenue for the second half of the current fiscal year.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES IN WATER RATES(To comply with Proposition 218, California Constitution Article XIIID, Section 6)
The Vernon City Council will hold a public hearing to consider proposed modification and increases to water charges for service furnished by the City, and to hear and consider objections and protests to the proposed modifications and the rate study report described below.
HEARING DATE: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 at or after 9:00 am
HEARING LOCATION: City of Vernon City Council Chambers, 4305 S. Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon, CA 90058
RATE STUDY REPORT: A report by IGService, dated September 26, 2019, describing details of the rate modifications and increases and the method used to calculate the rate modifications and increases (the “Report”) has been prepared, and the contents of the report submitted to the Council. The Report is on file with the City Clerk at the address above and can also be found on the City website.
AMOUNT OF PROPOSED WATER RATE MODIFICATIONS: The amounts of water rates (present and proposed) are on the attached rate table. The overall revenue increase in the first year is 13 percent, followed by four consecutive three percent increases. The three percent increases may vary based on changes in the cost of wholesale water supply. The increased costs to customers will vary based on water consumption patterns. Smaller customers with lower water consumption will see larger increases because fixed monthly meter charges will have increased 100 percent, whereas the volumetric rate per hundred cubic feet (HCF) will be unchanged in the first year. The proposed increases are contingent upon removal from customer bills of the present five percent Utility User Tax credit, meaning that customers will pay the full six percent tax, in addition to the 13 percent overall increase.
REASON FOR THE PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF WATER RATES: The proposed modifications of Vernon’s water rates are primarily to provide funding for approximately $21 million in capital improvement projects over the next five years. These projects are necessary to provide system reliability, assure good water quality, and to avoid purchases of expensive imported water. Revenue from fixed rate components (Monthly Meter Charge and Fire Service Charge) will be increased overall from 30 percent to 38 percent to more closely match revenue received with fixed costs to operate the water enterprise.
BASIS FOR PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS OF WATER RATES: A description of how the modifications were calculated can be found in the Report. In general, the basis is to charge customers in proportion to the burden costs to serve them. The revenue from the modified rates and charges will not be more than the funds required for the City to provide adequate water service, including capital improvements to assure reliability and longevity of service.
PROCEDURE FOR HEARING AND DETERMINING MAJORITY PROTEST: At the time stated above, the Council will hear and consider all objections and protests, if any, to the proposed water rate modifications and other matters described in the Report. The Council may continue the hearing from time to time. At the close of the hearing, if written protests against the proposed modified water rates are presented, or were presented prior to the public hearing, and not withdrawn by a majority of the record owners of the parcels that would be subject to the modified water rates, the City may not impose the modified water rates; instead, water rates would continue at their existing, previously-approved amounts. If, at the close of the protest hearing, there is no majority protest as described above, the Council may approve the rate modifications, as proposed or as changed by the Council, to be effective commencing January 1, 2020.
PRESERVING THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE: Any person who wants to preserve the opportunity to file a lawsuit challenging the proposed water rate modifications, if imposed, or other matters described in the Report must file a written protest with the Council, stating the specific grounds of the protest. Any grounds not stated in a written protest filed with the Council before the close of the protest hearing on November 19, 2019, will be deemed waived and may not be raised in any subsequent lawsuit.
HOW TO PROTEST THE PROPOSED RATE INCREASES: All owners and tenants of property receiving City water services, and interested persons are invited to attend the Public Hearing noticed above. Written protests must be received (not postmarked) by the City Clerk before or during the public hearing. Any protest submitted by e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted. The protest must be signed by the property owner(s) or tenant(s) and must include the assessor’s parcel number(s) or street address(es) of all property(ies) serviced. Only one written protest per identified parcel or property will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a majority protest.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For additional inquiry about the proposed water rate proceeding, contact Anthony Serrano, Customer Services Manager, at (323) 583-8811 Ext. 202, or by email, aserrano@ci.vernon.ca.us.

Water Rate Study for City of Vernon
September 26, 2019
Purpose
The water rate study updates the study done by IGService dated April 2018. The key element updated is an expanded capital improvement project list requiring the need for bond funding and increased rates. This updated study stands alone without reference to the previous study. As before, customer classes are considered to assure revenue is in proportion to cost to serve them. Overall operating costs, debt, assets, and revenue are analyzed to evaluate reasonableness of costs, and the need to increase overall revenue. These steps are conducted to be consistent with the requirements of California’s Proposition 218. Summary
The City of Vernon’s water rates are amongst the lowest compared to many water suppliers in the Los Angeles basin. The city’s customer base is almost exclusively industrial and commercial, with a very small residential demand. Consequently, essentially all customers have flat water demand profiles throughout the year. The result is that the City’s common volumetric rate for all customers is reasonable. The City’s fixed monthly rate is based on meter size and is exactly proportional to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) standard. Finally, the fire protection charges are proportional to square footage of buildings, which is also equitable across customers. In the previous April 2018 study, the capital improvement plan (CIP) was $15 million over ten years. In this updated study, it is $21 million over five years. The water system needs extensive capital improvements, accelerated since 2018 because of added water well failures. This study includes provision
for $15 million in bond finance, plus the benefit to water of repayment from intra-fund loans. This study includes the need to increase overall revenue 13 percent in the first year, followed by consecutive
three percent increases to keep up with inflation. The 13 percent increase assumes the existing five percent Utility User Tax (UUT) credit is suspended such that customers pay the full six percent UUT. Rates are modified to shift revenue from volumetric charges to the fixed monthly charges, thereby increasing revenue
certainty. The greatest increases of 100 percent (doubling rate) are to the fixed monthly meter charge. The fire service charge based on square footage of buildings is increased 14 percent. The volumetric rate is not increased in the first year. The result is the overall contribution from fixed revenue is increased from 30 percent to 38 percent. Proposition 218 Proposition 218 specifies certain requirements regarding user fees, as follows.1
• Revenues derived from a fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property-related service.
• Revenue derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed.
1 California Constitution, Article X111 D, Section 6(2)(b).
2
• The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.
• No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question.
The consequence of these requirements is that customers should pay for water service in proportion to the cost to serve them. For Vernon, this evaluation is straight forward because all customers look essentially the same to the water system. They are essentially all commercial and industrial customers operating
constantly through the year. Consequently, all customers have been charged the same volumetric rate of $2.206 per hundred cubic feet. In addition, a monthly meter rate is applied based on meter size. The existing meter rate for increasing sizes is exactly proportional to the AWWA meter factor table (5/8” scale),
which is consistent with cost of service rate making. Vernon’s “monthly square foot rate” is for emergency water supply to private fire protection services. This is in place of the typical fee-based on pipe service size for fire protection. The cost of fire protection is exactly proportional to square footage, again meeting the cost of service criteria. In comparison to other water service providers, the monthly cost for fire protection is also consistent.
Existing Rates and Cost of Service
Vernon’s existing rate structure was most recently approved by the Vernon City Council on August 16, 2016, in Resolution 2016-48. The reason for the rate increase, as written in the staff report, was to cover
increases in replenishment costs for pumped water and increasing costs of purchased water, plus needed capital improvements. The commodity and meter charge rates were increased, whereas the square footage rate was decreased. The resultant increase to revenue was approximately nine percent.
Resolution 2016-48 also includes an automatic “Pass-Through Adjustment” in Attachment B of the Resolution. This is effective for each January 1st beginning January 2017 and ending 2021. The intent of the formula is to increase the volumetric component of the water rate in proportion to an increase in cost by either the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (pumped water) or the Central Basin Municipal Water District (purchased water).2 Vernon’s existing utility billing policy is to provide water (and other utility) customers a five percent Utility User Tax (UUT) credit to offset the full cost to customers of the increase from one percent to six percent of the UUT passed in Measure R and implemented July 1, 2018.3 Presently, the cost burden of the five present credit is covered by revenue from rates.
Finally, Vernon’s existing water rates yield a relatively low component of revenue from fixed monthly charges, compared to variable revenue from metered usage. An AWWA survey4 reveals that the Southern California average for fixed revenue is 39 percent. Vernon’s revenue from meter charges is 11 percent of the total, and revenue from the fire service square footage charge is 19 percent of the total. The combined 30 percent is still less than the Southern California average of 39 percent. The allocation of Vernon revenue
is shown in the chart below.
2 Consistent with the Pass-Through Adjustment language, the commodity rate was increased from $2.097 to $2.206
per HCF effective January 1, 2018. This is a 5.2 percent increase. The rate was not increased January 1, 2019. Resolution 2016-48 will be superseded by the new rate structure proposed in this rate study.
3 Resolution 2017-65, dated April 10, 2018. 4 AWWA Journal, September 2017, Gaur & Diagne.
3
Comparison to Other Water Suppliers Overall, Vernon’s rates are amongst the lowest compared to several water suppliers in the region, including all members of the Southeast Water Coalition. The comparisons are shown separately in the charts below for a large customer and small customer. (These comparison charts also show proposed rates, covered later in this report.) Vernon is the lowest cost for a large customer with a 4-inch meter in a 50,000 square foot building consuming 5,500 AF per month.
4
For a smaller water customer with a two-inch meter in a 50,000 square foot building consuming only 200
HCF per month, Vernon is on the lower end of the scale.
5
Water Sales History City of Vernon treated water sales have been on a very slight decline for the past ten years, this following
a major 25 percent drop in 2008 caused by the stock market crash and subsequent economic recession. (See the chart above.) A benefit of the 2008 drop has been less dependency on more expensive purchased water. For example, during FY08, purchased water was 19 percent of the total, whereas during FY17, purchased
water was only nine percent of the total. However, beginning in 2019, problems with the city’s wells have caused an increase in purchased water as shown in the lower right corner of the chart.
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
In the previous study, Vernon’s ten-year CIP was projected at $15 million. The near-term planning was to drill two new wells and refurbish one well over a three-year period. Doing so would have alleviated the need for expensive purchase water from Central Basin. 5 However, unanticipated well failures in the meantime have accelerated the timeline. Consequently, Vernon staff has revised the CIP to attack improvements more aggressively. The plan now is to invest more money over a shorter time period,
approximately $21 million over five years. Increasing system reliability is critically important to benefit from city-source water wells, and thereby avoid the expensive cost of purchased water. The expanded CIP includes many other projects to increase operating efficiency and reliability. See the full detail of planned CIP in Attachment A. An important consideration is that the (old) water system in its current state is oversized because water sales
have declined over the past decade. Thus, the entire system will not need to be updated, but only the portions of the system needed to serve current load. Improved operating technologies will be included in system improvements resulting in better operating efficiency. For example, expanded use of variable speed drive pumping, combined with updated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) will be used to better utilize both storage and delivery capacity. Revenue and Expense Projections
Detailed revenue and expense information, including consideration for ongoing fund balances, capital expenditures and debt service, are shown in Attachment B. Audited results are shown for FY16/17 and
FY17/18. Preliminary values are shown for FY18/19, and budgeted values for FY19/20. The model shows the percentage increases needed to generate enough revenue for adequate debt service coverage. The goal is to accomplish a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.30, meaning that revenue available for debt service is 30 percent higher than debt service needed. The percentage revenue increase is 13 percent in the first year, followed by consecutive three percent increases. The resultant debt service coverage ratios are above 2.00 over most of the 10-year planning period. The amount of debt planned is $15 million at 3.6 percent annual interest over a 30-year term. Debt service for principal and interest is
$826,000 per year.
5 During FY17/18, the average cost of city-source water was approximately $300 paid to the Water Replenishment District, whereas the average cost of purchased Central Basin water was approximately $1,200. Central Basin water is approximately four times as expensive.
6
Water volumes sold are assumed to be flat over the planning period. Though there has been a very slight decline over the past 10 years, Vernon’s largest customer, the Farmer John pork processing facility, is
presently expanding operating capacity, which should increase demand slightly. The revenue section of the model shows an expense for the Vernon Utility User Tax (UUT) beginning July 2018, but then ending December 2019. This is to account for the five percent portion of the six percent UUT that is being credited back to customers. After December 2019, the model does not increase revenue to cover the full amount of the UUT credit to customers because our recommendation is that customers pay the full six percent UUT without showing a UUT credit on the bill. Doing so provides in better transparency to customers of the purposes for utility revenues paid. If the UUT credit were continued, the overall revenue increase from rates would be 18 percent by simply adding the five percent credit amount to the 13 percent increase recommended.
The baseline year for planning is FY18/19 with projections following for each year thereafter. The 13 percent increase is allocated between FY19/20 and 20/21 because it is planned to take place midway through FY19/20 such that not all the revenue benefit will be achieved in FY19/20. In the expense categories,
purchases from Central Basin are projected to peak in FY19/20 at $1,506,785, then drop significantly in FY20/21 to $496,314. This is the result of anticipated water well repair to restore water supply from within Vernon. All expense categories are escalated over the planning period to account for inflation. Personnel
costs are escalated at the highest amount of six percent. Central Basin purchased water costs are escalated at four percent, and electricity is at four percent. Fund Balance Projections
The lower section of Attachment B shows the projected impact on the fund balance from the combination of:
• Surplus revenue after debt service,
• Loan from the Water Replenishment District (WRD),
• Repayment to water of the interfund loan, and
• Bond proceeds made available.
Surplus revenue after debt service is relatively high, ranging from just over $1 million in FY20/21, down to $700,000 in in FY28/29. This is the result of planning a healthy debt service coverage ratio and needing access to funds for CIP investments beyond the $15 million in bond proceeds. The loan from WRD is for specific water well work. This is $1.5 million at zero interest amortized over ten years. The FY17/18 audit also shows the current balance owed to water from other funds, which is relatively large at $11,311,300.6 The city’s plan is for this amount to be paid back to water, beginning with $5,061,803 in FY19/20, then followed by annual amounts that are six percent of revenue, based on the collected amount of UUT from water customers. Bond proceeds of $15 million are projected to be available within FY19/20, then spent over the next three years. When bond funds are expended, “Pay-Go” funding will be used, which is utilization of accumulated
and ongoing net revenue. Pay-Go amounts assigned to the fourth and fifth years total $6.4 million. Adding

this to $15 million debt service funding approximates the five-year plan for capital expenditures of $21,432,999 in Attachment A.
Beginning with the FY17/18 audited financial statement, a value is assigned to “cash and investments” for the water fund. The amount is $1,259,2337. Previously, cash in the water fund was accounted elsewhere. Tracking the ongoing cash balance within water operations is necessary, considering the planned strategy to use debt funding to support projects. The fund balance is projected to be $10 million at the end of the 10-year period. This is approximately ten months revenue from rates and can be used as pay-go funding for projects moving forward potentially alleviating the need for additional debt service funding.
Proposed Rates
The present rate structure must be modified to achieve an immediate 13 percent increase in revenue combined with eliminating the five percent UUT credit. Together, these achieve an 18 percent overall revenue increase. The rate categories to be modified are shown under Service Category in the table below. These are divided between variable charges (dependent on the volume of metered water) and fixed charges (constant each month). The comparisons in the bar charts above include the full 18 percent increase. A second rate-setting option is to retain the five percent UUT credit but increase revenue from rates a full 18 percent. This option is not recommended because the water enterprise fund is paying the six percent UUT to the general fund anyway. Continuing the credit could confuse customers regarding funds used for the water enterprise vs funds collected through the UUT for transfer to the general fund. Nonetheless, a revenue and expense model, allocation model, and rate table are shown for this option in Attachment E.
The existing allocation yields 70 percent of revenue from variable charges and 30 percent from fixed charges. A primary rate setting objective is to increase the portion of revenue from fixed charges. Doing so provides better revenue stability and assigns costs incurred more accurately to customers.8 The right
side of the table shows the proposed new balance of variable vs fixed revenue. The fixed contribution is increased to 38 percent, and the variable contribution reduced to 62 percent.
The “% Change” values in the table for individual service categories were set to achieve the reallocated values on the right side of the table. Fixed monthly charges were increased first, increasing the monthly meter charge amounts by 100 percent to double them from the present levels. To simplify billing statements for fire service charges, the monthly charges for fire meters ($2 per customer per month) is eliminated. The sprinkler count charge is also eliminated. Both these charges are residual from historical rates, and both are relatively small revenue components. The lost revenue from eliminating these rate components is absorbed in the increased fire square footage charge. The fire square footage component increase was limited to 14 percent, and the volumetric charge is not increased in the first year. The increase in the fire square footage charge was limited to prevent large monthly increases for customer with large buildings and low water consumption.
7 Ibid. 8 Primary variable costs are water and utilities (pumping), projected at $4.5 million in FY20/21. This is 56 percent of total operating expenses of $8 million. The balance of up to 44 percent can be assigned to rates to cover fixed costs. If annual capital investment is included, the fixed component would increase.
8
The proposed water rate increase will have more impact on smaller water-consuming customers. These are
about 500 customers, approximately half of all customers, and most have two-inch meters. These are small commercial customers where the proportion of monthly meter charge is greater than the proportion of water volume cost. Even so, the proposed rates assign costs in proportion to the customer’s meter size and building size to be more consistent with the portion of fixed cost to operate Vernon’s water system. This is reasonable because the water system is available to the customer to deliver water even though the customers usage may be low. The rate comparison bar charts show more of an increase for a typical smaller customer than for a typical larger customer. Smaller customers using less than 200 HCF per month will see larger monthly increases, up to 46 percent for a customer that uses no water in a month.9
The proposed rate table is given in Attachment C. It shows the present and proposed rates for each category of service. The increases applied in the first year are consistent with the table above. The increases for subsequent years are three percent applied evenly to all categories, except for the impact of the water cost adjustment mechanism. A wholesale water cost adjustment mechanism is proposed to mitigate the impact of unanticipated increases
from the combined costs of the Water Replenishment District and Central Basin. This mechanism is important because wholesale water costs are significant at approximately 40 percent of total operating cost, and the city cannot control the cost of wholesale water. Accordingly, to the extent wholesale water costs
increase more than the forecast numbers in the expense section of Attachment B, the city will have the opportunity to pass through the added costs to customers through a rate adjustment beyond the three percent increases. To the extent wholesale water costs decrease below the forecast numbers, the city will have the
opportunity to lower the planned three percent increases; however, such a decrease would also need to consider the balance of the overall expenses incurred during the review period. The intent will be to review the forecast vs actual costs annually; however, adjustments could be more frequent based on need. Language detailing the cost adjustment language will be written into the proposed resolution for the rate changes. An example tracking table is shown in Attachment D.
9 Using the comparison of 50,000 sq. ft. and a two-inch meter, a customer using no water pays $228 now (with UUT Credit) and would pay $333 under the proposed rates (without UUT Credit). ($333-$228)/$228 x 100% = 46%

Conclusion Projected revenues from rates need to increase 13 percent followed by consecutive three percent increases
to cover increased operating costs, combined with debt service for $15 million. The 13 percent increase is dependent on removing the five percent UUT credit, such that customer pay the full six percent UUT. Repayment of intra-fund loans alleviates the need for added revenue increases. The overall revenue
increase to the water enterprise will be approximately 18 percent. Rates are reset to shift revenue from volumetric to fixed monthly charges to provide greater revenue stability and more closely match the balance of fixed and variable expenses. A wholesale water cost adjustment clause is also included to cover unanticipated water cost increases beyond those forecasted in the study.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON ADOPTING A REVISED SCHEDULE OF WATER RATES
AND REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT THEREWITH
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 1 of Chapter 25 of the Vernon
City Code, the City charges rates to its water customers to fund the
City’s water enterprise; and
WHEREAS, the City’s existing water rates are insufficient to
fully fund anticipated enterprise costs; and
WHEREAS, Section 25.1 of the Vernon City Code authorizes the
City Council to set water rates by resolution; and
WHEREAS, on October 1, 2019, staff presented to the City
Council of the City of Vernon the results of the “Water Rate Study for
City of Vernon” dated September 26, 2019, prepared by IGService, and
staff began the California Proposition 218 (Proposition 218) process in
order to receive testimony regarding the adoption of the Amended Water
Rate Schedule; and
WHEREAS, the Amended Water Rate Schedule does not include the
rates for reclaimed water (the “Reclaimed Water Rates”), because those
rates are a complete pass-through from the Central Basin Municipal
Water District to, currently, one industrial customer, the Malburg
Generating Station; and
WHEREAS, the proposed water rates to be amended include
automatic pass through and inflation adjustments as set forth in the
Resolution of Intention; and
WHEREAS, on November 19, 2019, the City Council held a full
and fair public hearing regarding the proposed water rates (the “Public
Hearing”); and
- 2 -
WHEREAS, as required by law, notice of the Public Hearing was
mailed to all affected water customers not less than 45 days prior to
the hearing; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City’s adopted “Policy Governing
for the Acceptance and Tabulation of Protests” (the “Protest Policy”)
the City Clerk has accepted written protests against the proposed
water rates; and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk has determined and the City Council
hereby confirms that a majority protest against the proposed water
rates does not exist; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Vernon desires to
revise the City’s water rates.
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 from California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15273(a)(4), which states
that CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification,
structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or
other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for
the purpose of obtaining funds for capital projects, necessary to
maintain service within existing service areas. Furthermore, even if
the proposed changes in water rates were subject to CEQA review, the
approval requested is exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §
15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that
- 3 -
may have a significant effect on the environment, for the reason that
any construction that may occur in the future by a private party
relying on this approval would be subject to CEQA review at that time.
SECTION 3: The City Council of the City of Vernon hereby
adopts the Schedule of Water Rates set forth in Attachment “A” to this
Resolution subject to the automatic pass through and inflation
adjustments set forth in Attachment “B” to this Resolution. Staff is
authorized to implement the automatic adjustments and cause such
adjustments to take effect without further action by the City Council.
Such automatic adjustments shall not constitute “increases” in the
water rates for purposes of Article XIII D, Section 6 of the
California Constitution.
SECTION 4: The rates approved by this Resolution shall be
effective as of January 1, 2020.
SECTION 5: The Reclaimed Water Rates shall remain
unadjusted and carry forward unaffected by the Amended Water Rate
Schedule; and
SECTION 6: The City Council of the City of Vernon finds and
determines that:
(a) Revenues derived from the rates imposed by this
Resolution will not exceed the funds required to provide water
service.
(b) Water rates are used solely to fund costs associated
with providing water service, and, therefore, revenues derived from
the rates imposed by this Resolution will not be used for any purpose
other than providing water service.
(c) The amount of water rates imposed upon any parcel or
person as an incident of property ownership will not exceed the
- 4 -
proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.
(d) Water rates are imposed only for services actually used
by, or immediately available to, the water customer.
(e) The water rates are not imposed for general governmental
services where the service is available to the public at large in
substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.
SECTION 7: All resolutions or parts of resolutions,
specifically Resolution No. 2016-48, not consistent with or in conflict
with this resolution are hereby repealed.
SECTION 8: 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.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-511-2019
Submitted by: Dan Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: November 19, 2019
SUBJECT
Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 24 - Building and Construction and Adoption of the 2019 California
Building Standards Code, 2006 Electrical Code Administrative Provisions, and 2018 International Existing Building
Code by Reference
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this
ordinance is not considered 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, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the proposed
ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA,
which is not the case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect
on the environment. 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 adoption of
state-mandated construction codes, and the revisions to those codes merely improve the safety of buildings and will not
have any effect on the environment; and
B. Conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1261 amending various sections of Chapter 24 of the Vernon
Municipal Code, along with amendments, additions and deletions and adopting by reference the following codes: (1) the
2019 California Building Code, 24 CCR Part 2; (2) the 2019 California Electrical Code, 24 CCR Part 3; (3) the 2006
Edition of the International Code Council (ICC) Electrical Code Administrative Provisions; (4) the 2019 California
Mechanical Code, 24 CCR Part 4; (5) the 2019 California Plumbing Code, 24 CCR Part 5; (6) the 2019 California
Existing Building Code, 24 CCR Part 10; (7) the 2018 International Existing Building Code; (8) the 2019 California
Residential Code, 24 CCR Part 2.5; (9) the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code also known as the
CALGreen Code, 24 CCR Part 11, and; (10) the 2019 California Energy Code, 24 CCR Part 6.
Background:
The Council introduced and conducted first reading of Ordinance No. 1261 at its November 5, 2019 Regular meeting.
After conducting a public hearing, staff recommends Council conduct second reading and adopt the ordinance.
The State of California Building Standards Commission (“Commission”) recently adopted the 2019 California Building,
Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Residential, Green Building Standards, Existing Building, and Energy Codes
collectively known as the California Building Standards Codes or CBSC. Section 17958 of the California Health and
Safety Code requires that the latest edition of the California Building Standards Codes automatically apply to local
construction 180 days after they become effective at the state level. Since the CBSC became effective at the state level
on July 1, 2019, they are scheduled to become effective at the local level on January 1, 2020.
Pursuant to Sections 50022.2 et seq. of the California Government Code, which authorizes the City to adopt the CBSC
and other uniform and model codes, the City intends to adopt with amendments the CBSC, and: (a) the 2006 Edition of
the International Code Council Electrical Code Administrative Provisions, (b) Chapter A2 and repair criteria of the
2018 International Existing Building Code, published by the International Code Council, as the minimum seismic retrofit
requirements for buildings of tilt-up and concrete frame construction types for those property owners who voluntarily
propose to retrofit their buildings, and (c) the Uniform Code for Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, 1997 Edition,
published by the International Conference of Building Officials which code was previously adopted in Ordinance No.
1073, remains unchanged, and shall be the standard for the repair of structures damaged during a disaster event.
The Los Angeles Basin Chapter of the International Code Council has been very active throughout the years in leading
the effort to create uniformity of building codes and regulations throughout the greater Los Angeles region as well as
addressing policy issues of interest to building officials and the construction industry. One such effort to promote
uniformity of building regulations is through the Los Angeles Regional Uniform Code Program (LARUCP). The
LARUCP program began in July 1999 with the purpose of developing uniform interpretations and handouts to serve as
guidelines for building officials, contractors, engineers and architects in the consistent application of the codes. The
mission of this program was to minimize the number of and to develop uniformity in local technical amendments to the
model codes for adoption by jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region. Through the coordination of the
International Code Council Los Angeles Basin Chapter’s Structural Code Committee and Administrative Committee the
following streamlining tasks have been established:
1) Create uniformity of building standards code that can be adopted by jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region;
2) Reduce the total number of local amendments to the California codes in the greater Los Angeles region;
3) Receive support from many, if not all, of the 89 jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region;
4) Obtain active participation from jurisdictions in the greater Los Angeles region in formulating and implementing the
LARUCP program; and
5) With construction valuation of over $5 billion in the region, conservatively assuming that the program produces a 1%
construction cost savings, achieve an estimated cost saving of $50 million per year in the greater Los Angeles region.
The 2019 Edition of the LARUCP Recommended Code Amendments have been widely circulated and discussed over
the past several months with various local jurisdictional members, Structural Engineers Association of Southern
California technical committees, design professionals in the construction industry, and other interested groups or
individuals. The only exception to the Public Works Department staff’s recommendation to include the LARUCPs
recommendations in their entirety is Section 1613.6, which involves seismic design in hillside buildings. The reason staff
does not recommend that this section be included is that there are no applicable hillside sites in the City of Vernon.
California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 allow a local agency to amend the
adopted state codes provided that such modifications or changes to building standards are reasonably necessary
because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. Only changes to building standards need to be
justified on the basis of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. The establishment of administrative
standards does not require justification pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code. Public Works Department
staff has reviewed the state codes and, in addition to those recommended by the LARUCP, staff have proposed a
number of local amendments for adoption within the Vernon Municipal Code with the proper justifications to be
submitted to the Commission. The allowable justifications, on the basis of local climatic, geological, and topographical
conditions, in summary, are as follows:
Local climatic conditions.
The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create severe fire hazards to the public health and
welfare in the City of Vernon. The hot, dry weather in combination with Santa Ana winds results in extreme fire
conditions for the community which increase the likelihood of fire spreading (conflagration) from one building to another.
The aforementioned conditions combined with the geological characteristics of the county and near the City create
hazardous conditions for which departure from some of the provisions of the California Building Standards Code is
reasonably necessary.
Local geological conditions.
The City of Vernon is subject to earthquake hazards caused by the location of nearby earthquake faults causing active
seismic activity in the area. Known faults which potentially could cause seismic activity in the City include the Whittier
Fault to the east, the Raymond Fault to the north, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault to the west. Said faults are
generally considered major Southern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any time and can
create tremendous loss of life and damage to structures in the City. Thus, because the City is within a seismic area
which includes earthquake faults within the County of Los Angeles and near the City, the modifications and changes
cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair
of damaged property following a local emergency.
Local topographical conditions.
The City of Vernon's building density, limited setbacks, narrow access to buildings, narrow streets potentially create a
problem for governmental agencies to respond to emergency conditions. Additionally, long periods of dry, hot weather,
combined with unpredictable seasonal winds (Santa Ana wind conditions) result in increased exposure to fire risk. The
heavy rains tend to over-saturate the soil for a short time period during the year, having a detrimental effect on in-ground
structures affected by varying moisture conditions.
Administrative amendments.
The Public Works Department recommends that additional amendments to the codes be adopted in order to provide
administrative clarification. Such amendments do not modify the building standards found in the state codes. Instead,
these amendments establish administrative standards for such activities as the establishment and collection of fees, the
issuance of permits, and the effective enforcement of building standards.
Findings of fact and justifications to amendments of the CBSC and the 2006 International Code Council Electrical Code
Administrative Provisions and the 2018 International Existing Building Code are submitted to the City Council under
separate cover for approval.
2019 Vernon Building Code
The Building Code establishes regulations and standards for the structural design, construction, alteration, movement,
enlargement, replacement, repair, occupancy, location, maintenance, demolition and accessibility for every building or
structure within Vernon, with the exception of one and two family dwelling units not exceeding three stories. It is
recommended that the 2019 California Building Code, and standards contained therein, published by the International
Code Council and the Commission, be adopted as the Vernon Building Code with the proposed amendments outlined
in the ordinance. The proposed amendments in brief summary are as follows:
1) The City requires a Certificate of Occupancy to be issued for each change in use or tenancy.
2) Establishes reinspection fees and outlines the responsibility of the permittee.
3) Establishes various technical amendments as developed by the LARUCP to improve the seismic and wind loading
capabilities of structures within the City.
4) Establishes additional grading provisions in order to better safeguard adjacent properties and establish erosion
control requirements.
2019 Vernon Electrical Code
The Electrical Code establishes regulations and standards for the design, alteration, modification, construction and
maintenance of electrical installations from the meter into the property. It is recommended that the 2019 California
Electrical Code, copyrighted by the National Fire Protection Association and the Commission, including standards
contained therein, with the proposed amendments outlined in the ordinance, be adopted as the Vernon Electrical Code.
Additionally, it is recommended that the 2006 International Code Council Electrical Administrative Provisions, published
by the International Code Council, including standards contained therein be adopted with the proposed amendments as
outlined in the proposed ordinance and be incorporated into the Vernon Electrical Code as the Administrative
Provisions for the City. The proposed amendments in brief summary are as follows:
1) Establishes specific wiring methods
2) Requires service entrance conductors to be installed in Rigid Metal Conduit or Busways (except by special
permission)
3) Prohibits the use of Non Metallic-Sheathed Cable in the City in uses other than in dwellings
4) Establishes the responsibilities of the permittee
5) Requires that the Vernon Public Utilities Department be notified when significantly increasing the electrical load
6) Requires City approval prior to energizing electrical equipment
7) Establishes a Permit Fee Schedule
8) Requires that City approved testing agencies be utilized when evaluating and listing electrical equipment
2019 Vernon Mechanical Code
The Mechanical Code establishes regulations and standards for the erection, installation, alteration, relocation,
replacement, use and maintenance of heating, ventilation, cooling, refrigeration systems and other heat producing
devices. It is recommended that the 2019 California Mechanical Code, including appendices and standards contained
therein, published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials and the Commission, be
adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Mechanical Code. The proposed amendments in brief summary
are as follows:
1) Establishes City Permit Fees
2) Establishes the responsibilities of the permittee
2019 Vernon Plumbing Code
The Plumbing Code establishes regulations and standards for installation of plumbing systems including water supply and
distribution, sanitary drainage, storm drainage and gas piping. It is recommended that the 2019 California Plumbing
Code, including appendices, and standards contained therein, published by the International Association of Plumbing
and Mechanical Officials, be adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Plumbing Code. The proposed
amendments, in brief summary, are as follows:
1) Establishes City Permit Fees
2) Establishes the responsibilities of the permittee
3) Establishes requirements for yard drainage
2019 Vernon Residential Code
The Residential Code establishes regulations and standards for the structural design, construction, alteration, movement,
enlargement, replacement, repair, occupancy, location, maintenance, demolition and accessibility for one and two family
dwelling units not exceeding three stories within the City of Vernon. It is recommended that the 2019 California
Residential Code, and standards contained therein, published by the International Code Council and the Commission,
be adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Residential Code. The proposed amendments, in brief
summary, are as follows:
1) Establishes permittee responsibilities
2) Establishes reinspection fees
3) Establishes various technical amendments as developed by the LARUCP to improve the seismic and wind loading
capabilities of structures within the City
2019 Vernon Existing Building Code
The Existing Building Code establishes minimum design standards for the structural seismic strengthening of existing
unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings. These standards are primarily established to reduce the risk of loss of life
or injury. Compliance with these provisions will not necessarily prevent the loss of life or injury, or prevent earthquake
damage to rehabilitated buildings. It is recommended that the 2019 California Existing Building Code and referenced
standards contained therein, published by the International Code Council and the Commission, be adopted as the
Vernon Existing Building Code.
2018 Vernon International Existing Building Code
Sections 38660 and 50022.2 of the California Government Code, among other things, authorize the City Council to
adopt by reference, regulations for the summary abatement, destruction, or removal of unsafe structures and of unsightly
or partially destroyed buildings. In particular, older buildings of tilt-up concrete wall construction are recognized to be
unsafe and hazardous due to the potential for collapse in an earthquake, especially those constructed prior to the
adoption of the 1976 Uniform Building Code. These types of structures often do not have proper ties between the wall
and roofing systems. During an earthquake the wall and roof connection have been known to fail causing the roof to
collapse endangering persons and property below. Property owners have in the past voluntarily retrofitted their tilt-up
buildings and have either used other City standards or used no standards at all. Often lenders or insurance companies
require these types of buildings to be retrofitted. Public Works Department staff believes that a minimum recognized
standard should be established for the retrofit of these structures. Appendix A Chapter A1 of the 2018 Edition of the
International Existing Building Code published by the International Code Council establishes minimum standards for
tilt-up concrete walled buildings to provide structural seismic resistance in order to reduce the risk of life loss or injury
on both the subject and adjacent properties. It is recommended that Appendix A Chapter A1 of the 2018 Edition of
the International Existing Building Code be adopted as the new minimum standard. Lastly, this retrofit requirement for
tilt-up concrete walled structures or concrete framed buildings is a voluntary program and is not mandated by the City.
The California Existing Building Code, part of the California Building Standards Code, 24 CCR Part 10, does regulate
unreinforced masonry buildings and other buildings vulnerable to seismic hazards. However, it does not sufficiently
address the seismic hazards found in the numerous tilt-up concrete buildings that exist in the City. Although the
International Existing Building Code is currently a model code which has not been adopted by the state, many
jurisdictions have adopted these supplemental design standards. The inclusion of the International Existing Building
Code’s standards into the Vernon Municipal Code is therefore reasonably necessary to regulate and abate the seismic
hazards in such buildings and other construction on the basis of the high level of geologic activity in this area.
2019 Vernon Green Building Standards Code
The Green Buildings Standards Code establishes both mandatory and voluntary provisions through the development and
planning process to protect, restore and enhance the environmental quality of the site and respect the integrity of
adjacent properties. Mandatory measures for nonresidential projects include but are not limited to the following:
1) Development of a storm water pollution prevention plan
2) Bicycle parking
3) Designated parking for fuel efficient vehicles
4) Light pollution reduction measures
5) Sub water meters for buildings 50,000 square feet or greater
6) Installation of low flow plumbing fixtures
7) Installation of weather based irrigation controllers
8) Requirement that 50% of construction waste and debris be recycled
9) Requirement of accessible recycling waste bins
10) Requirement of the commissioning of buildings 10,000 square feet or more
11) Requirement of adhesive products be low Volatile Organic Compounds and establishes limits for formaldehydes
It is recommended that the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code, and the standards contained therein,
published by the Commission, be adopted with the proposed amendments as the Vernon Green Building Standards
Code. The proposed amendments, in brief summary, are as follows:
1) Establishes City Permit Fees
2) Establishes percentage of parking stalls to be provided with EV charging space capable of supporting future EVSE
and EV charging station and varies per building type.
2019 Vernon Energy Code
The Energy Code establishes energy efficiencies standards for buildings constructed or enlarged within the City. The
standards include regulations on building envelopes, space conditioning, water heating systems, and lighting systems. It
is recommended that the 2019 California Energy Code, including appendices, and standards contained therein,
published by the Commission, be adopted with one proposed amendment as the Vernon Energy Code. The proposed
amendment is as follows:
1) Administrative establishment of City Permit Fees
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the proposed ordinance as to form.
The 2019 California Building Standards Codes, the 2006 Electrical Code Administrative Provisions and the 2018
International Existing Building Code books are available for review in the Office of the City Clerk.
Upon approval and adoption of the proposed ordinance, the City is required to file a certified copy of the amendments
and justifications with the Commission.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the City by adopting this ordinance.

Building Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
SECTION J101
GENERAL
J101.1 Scope. The provisions of this Appendix J apply to
grading, excavation and earthwork construction, including fills and
embankments and the control of grading site runoff, including erosion
sediments and construction-related pollutants. Where conflicts occur
between the technical requirements of this Appendix J and the
geotechnical report, the more restrictive requirement shall govern. In
addition to the provisions contained in this Appendix J, the grading
shall also comply with all provisions contained in Chapter 21 of the City
code.
J101.2 Flood hazard areas. The provisions of this Appendix J
shall not apply to grading, excavation and earthwork construction,
including fills and embankments, in floodways within flood hazard areas
established in Section 1612.3 or in flood hazard areas where design flood
elevations are specified but floodways have not been designated, unless
it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the
proposed work will not result in any increase in the level of the base
flood.
J101.3 Hazards. Whenever the building official determines that
any land or any existing excavation or fill has, from any cause, become
a menace to life or limb, or endangers public or private property, or
adversely affects the safety, use or stability of public or private
property, the owner or other person in legal control of the property
concerned shall, upon receipt of a written notice thereof from the
- 44 -
building official, correct such condition in accordance with the
provisions of this Appendix J and the requirements and conditions set
forth in the notice so as to eliminate such condition. The owner or other
person in legal control of the property shall immediately comply with
the provisions set forth in the notice and shall complete the work within
180 days from the date of the notice unless a shorter period of time for
completion has been specified in the notice in which case the owner shall
comply with the shorter period of time. Upon written application and good
cause shown, the building official may approve the request for an
extension of time to complete the work required by the notice.
J101.4 Safety precautions.
1. If at any stage of work on an excavation or fill, the
building official determines that the work has become or is likely to
become dangerous to any person, or is likely to endanger any property,
public or private, the building official is hereby authorized to require
safety precautions to be immediately taken by the property owner as a
condition to continuing such permitted work or to require cessation
thereof forthwith unless and until it is made safe and to amend the plans
for such work.
2. Safety precautions may include, but shall not be limited
to, specifying a flatter exposed slope or construction of additional
drainage facilities, berms, terracing, compaction, cribbing, retaining
walls or buttress fills, slough walls, desilting basins, check dams,
benching, wire mesh and guniting, rock fences, revetments or diversion
walls.
3. Upon the determination of the building official that such
safety precautions during grading are necessary, the building official
shall provide a notice and order to the permittee to implement same.
- 45 -
After receiving such notice in writing it is unlawful for the permittee
or any person to proceed with such work contrary to such order.
J101.5 Protection of utilities. The owner and permittee of any
property on which grading has been performed and that requires a grading
permit under Section J103 shall be jointly and severally responsible for
the prevention of damage to any public utilities or services.
J101.6 Protection of adjacent property. The owner and permittee
of any property on which grading has been performed and that requires a
grading permit under Section J103 shall be jointly responsible for the
prevention of damage to adjacent property and no person shall excavate
on land sufficiently close to the property line to endanger any adjoining
public street, sidewalk, alley, or other public or private property
without supporting and protecting such property from settling, cracking
or other damage that might result. Special precautions approved by the
building official shall be made to prevent imported or exported materials
from being deposited on the adjacent public way and/or drainage courses.
J101.7 Storm water control measures. The owner and permittee
of any property on which grading has been performed and that requires a
grading permit under Section J103 shall put into effect and maintain all
precautionary measures necessary to protect adjacent water courses and
public or private property from damage by erosion, flooding, and
deposition of mud, debris and construction-related pollutants originating
from the site during, and after, grading and related construction
activities. Furthermore, the owner and permittee shall be jointly and
severally responsible for putting into effect and maintaining appropriate
measures as deemed by the building official to be necessary to prevent
any change in cross-lot surface drainage that may adversely affect any
adjoining property as a result of grading, construction-related
- 46 -
activities or both. Such measures to prevent any adverse cross-lot
surface drainage effects on adjoining property shall be required whether
shown on approved grading plans or not.
J101.8 Conditions of approval. In granting any permit under
this code, the building official may include such conditions as he/she
deems to be reasonably necessary to prevent the creation of a nuisance
or hazard to public or private property. Such conditions may include,
but shall not be limited to:
1. Improvement of any existing grading to comply with the
standards of this code.
2. Requirements for fencing of excavations or fills which
would otherwise be hazardous.
3. Establishment of haul routes.
4. Establishment of water quality best management practices.
J101.9 Rules and regulations.
J101.9.1 Rules. The permissive provisions of this chapter shall
not be presumed to waive any regulations imposed by other statutes or
other ordinances of the State of California or the City.
J101.9.2 Regulations. If two or more pertinent regulations are
not identical, those regulations shall prevail which are more restrictive
or which afford greater safety to life, limb, health, property or welfare.
For the purposes of these regulations, grading permits shall be
considered as building permits and shall be subject to the administrative
provisions of this code, unless otherwise specifically provided for in
this Appendix J or the Vernon Municipal Code, or both.
J101.10 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
General. All grading plans and permits shall comply with the provisions
of Chapter 21 of the City Code. Sites which have been graded and which
- 47 -
require a grading permit under Appendix J Section J103 are subject to
penalties and fines. Payment of penalty fines shall not relieve any
persons from fully complying with the requirements of this code in the
execution of the work. All best management practices shall be installed
before grading begins or as instructed in writing by the building
official. As grading progresses, all best management practices shall be
updated as necessary to prevent erosion and control construction related
pollutants from discharging from the site. All best management practices
shall be maintained in good working order to the satisfaction of the
building official unless final grading approval has been granted by the
building official and all permanent drainage and erosion control systems,
if required, are in place.

Members Absent: None.
CHANGES TO THE AGENDA
City Clerk Pope announced that there were no changes to the agenda.
PUBLIC COMMENT
None. ELECTIONS
1. Results of the Special Municipal Election held on October 15, 2019 Recommendation: A. Find that the approval of the proposed action 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 to the environmental, and therefore
does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; B. Adopt a Resolution declaring the results of the Special Municipal Election held October 15, 2019; and C. Authorize the City Clerk to deliver the Certificate of Election and administer the oath
of Office to the new Council Member.
City Clerk Pope presented the staff report. There were no public comments.
MOTION Council Member Davis moved and Mayor Pro Tem Lopez seconded a motion to: A. Find that the approval of the proposed action 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 to the environmental, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; B. Adopt a Resolution declaring the results of the Special Municipal Election held October 15, 2019; and C. Authorize the City Clerk

to deliver the Certificate of Election and administer the oath of Office to the new Council Member. The question was called and the motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Ybarra called a recess at 9:05 a.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:10 a.m. with all
Council Members present. PUBLIC HEARING 2. Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 7 - Fire Regulations, and Adoption of the 2019 California Fire Code by Reference Recommendation: A. Find that the action proposed is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this ordinance is not considered 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, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the proposed ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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 adoption of state-mandated construction codes, and the revisions to those codes merely improve the
safety of buildings and will not have any effect on the environment; and
B. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance amending various sections of Chapter 7 of the Vernon Municipal Code, along with amendments, additions and deletions and adopting by reference the following code: (1) the 2019 California Fire Code.
Mayor Ybarra opened the Public Hearing. Director of Public Works Wall presented the staff report.
There being no speakers, Mayor Ybarra closed the Public Hearing.

Recommendation: A. Find that the proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this ordinance is not considered 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, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section
21065. Under the proposed ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, which is not the case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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 adoption of state-mandated construction codes, and the revisions to those codes merely improve the safety of buildings and will not have any effect on the environment; and
B. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an ordinance amending
various sections of Chapter 24 of the Vernon Municipal Code, along with amendments, additions and deletions and adopting by reference the following codes: (1) the 2019 California Building Code, 24 CCR Part 2; (2) the 2019 California Electrical Code, 24 CCR Part 3; (3) the 2006 Edition of the International Code Council (ICC) Electrical Code
Administrative Provisions; (4) the 2019 California Mechanical Code, 24 CCR Part 4; (5)

SUBJECT
Acceptance of Electrical Easement at 4665 49th Street (APN 6304-018-022)
Recommendation:
A. Find that the acceptance of the Electrical Easement proposed in this staff report is not a “project” as that term is
defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378, and even if it were a
project, it would be categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (maintenance, repair or
minor alteration of an existing facility and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use) and 15061(b)(3)
(general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment); and
B. Accept the Electrical Easement, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, and authorize the Mayor to
execute the Certificate of Acceptance.
Background:
The property owner at 4665 49th Street is installing a new electrical upgrade and an easement is needed for the
installation and maintenance of City owned electrical conduit and equipment serving the property. The Public Works
Department has received a fully executed Electrical Easement by Catellus Finance 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, owners for the property at the above-mentioned location, Assessor’s Parcel No. 6304-018-022.
The easement has been reviewed and approved by the Vernon Public Utilities Department and has been approved as to
form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Amendments to Vernon Municipal Code Chapter 22 - Streets and Sidewalks and Tree City USA Application
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this
ordinance is not considered 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, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the proposed
ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a “project” under CEQA,
which is not the case, CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 categorically exempts actions taken by regulatory agencies that
assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment. Here, the ordinance involves the
adoption procedures with respect to planting and maintaining trees and a tree plan within the City. Further, the request
for authorization to submit an application to the Arbor Day Foundation will have no impact on the environment
whatsoever; and
B. Conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1263 adding Article X to Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal
Code regarding Streets and Sidewalks to establish the “Tree Ordinance.”
Background:
On November 5, 2019, the City Council conducted first reading and introduced Ordinance No. 2163. Staff
recommends Council conduct second reading and adopt the ordinance.
The Arbor Day Foundation is a national non-profit organization dedicated to planting trees and improving the
environment. The Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Services and National Association of
State Foresters, recognize cities throughout the nation under its Tree City USA program. The Tree City USA program
provides direction, assistance, and national recognition to communities. Moreover, by becoming a Tree City USA, the
City of Vernon is ensuring that its trees will benefit the community in many ways. For example, trees can reduce costs
for energy, stormwater management, and erosion control; cut energy consumption by up to 25 percent; boost property
values across the city; build strong ties to our community; educate our community about the value of trees and the
importance of sustainable tree management, and increase community pride.
To qualify for a Tree City USA designation, the City of Vernon must meet four standards established by the Arbor Day
Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters:
1) Designate a responsible Tree Board/Department;
2) Adopt a Tree Ordinance;
3) Implement a Community Forestry Program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita; and
4) Proclaim and Observe Arbor Day.
The proposed ordinance designates the Public Works Department as the responsible department to implement the
City’s Forestry Program. Currently, the Public Works Department budgets approximately $97,000 per year for urban
forest management services.
As you may recall, the City Council announced a proclamation declaring September 21, 2019 as Arbor Day in the City
of Vernon. At the Arbor Day event, the City’s tree inventory was increased by 75 trees with 125 more trees to be
planted in the City before the end of 2019.
The Public Works Departments’ efforts to expand and maintain Vernon’s urban forest continues and staff would like to
ensure that the City of Vernon’s efforts are recognized. As such, it is recommended that the Public Works Department
be authorized to submit an application to the Arbor Day Foundation for Vernon to be designated a Tree City USA.
Fiscal Impact:
Adoption of this ordinance and authorizing the Public Works Department to submit an application to the Arbor Day
Foundation for Vernon to be designated a Tree City USA has no fiscal impact to the City.

equipment or service charge deemed necessary by the Director.
Section 22.140. Protection during construction.
Care shall be exercised by all individuals, developers and contractors working near preserved trees
so that no damage occurs to such trees. All construction shall preserve and protect the health of trees
to remain, relocated trees, and new trees planted to replace those removed in accordance with the
following measures:
(1) All trees to be saved shall be enclosed/delineated by an appropriate construction barrier,
such as fencing or other mechanism, prior to commencement of work. Barriers are to remain in
place during all phases of construction and may not be removed without the written consent of the
Director.
(2) Such barrier(s) must be located a distance from the trunk base of two times the trunk
diameter, up to a maximum of 15 feet, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director.
(3) No fill material shall be placed within three feet from the outer trunk circumference of any
tree.
- 5 -
(4) No fill materials shall be placed within the drip line of any tree in excess of 18 inches in
depth. This guideline is subject to modification to meet the needs of an individual tree species, as
determined by a certified arborist or licensed landscape architect.
(5) No substantial compaction of the soil within the drip line of any tree shall be undertaken.
(6) No construction, including structures and walls, that disrupts the root system shall be
permitted. As a guideline, no cutting of roots should occur within a distance equal to 3½ times the
trunk diameter, as measured at ground level. Actual setback may vary to meet the needs of
individual tree species as determined by a certified arborist or licensed landscaped architect. When
some root removal is necessary, the tree crown may require thinning to prevent wind damage.
Section 22.141. City-owned trees removal.
With available resources, the city shall implement practices to prevent the removal of existing public
trees whenever possible. The removal of a single tree or groups of trees may be approved pursuant
to this article, after one of the following findings has been made:
(1) The tree is dead.
(2) The tree has reached an over-mature condition for its pre-existing location and will result in
the deterioration of surrounding hardscaped areas potentially resulting in a health and safety
hazard.
(3) The tree which is infected with a disease which cannot be treated successfully, or there is a
strong potential that the pathogen could spread to other trees in the immediate vicinity.
(4) The tree has a severe void of heartwood due to wood consuming organisms which could
potentially cause catastrophic failure (i.e. collapse).
(5) A tree has been determined to be a hazard because of its high potential for failure due to
considerable dead or dying foliage, branches, roots or trunk.
(6) The tree requires extensive root pruning because of excessive hardscape damage resulting in
the severe reduction of its capacity to support itself thereby creating a potential safety hazard.
(7) A healthy living tree that has caused damage to any underground utility as a result of root
blockage.
(8) A tree that is causing an immediate threat to the health and safety or general welfare of the
public.
(9) As part of a tree master plan approved by city council.
- 5 -
Section 22.142. Inspection and evaluation process.
(a) Prior to the removal of any city-owned tree, it shall be the city's responsibility to evaluate
the condition of the tree's root system, trunk, branching system, canopy and foliage. Based upon
this evaluation, the Director shall make a determination as to whether the tree must be removed.
(b) The city council shall have the discretion to identify special situations where a targeted
replacement program may be desirable. An example is a comprehensive streetscape project in a
commercial district where a primary goal is to unify the area through a newly designed streetscape.
Street trees are a significant unifying feature and it may be important to replace all or a portion of
the trees in order to create this unity and give a special identity to the particular street. In cases
where this is appropriate as determined by the city council, the city shall make relocation of
existing healthy trees that are removed a priority.
Section 22.143. Tree plans.
(a) The Director in conjunction with the Public Works Department staff shall review all plans
for new development in the city and may require as a condition of approval of a project that a
particular number of street trees of the species desired in Section 22.144 be planted in accordance
with this article.
(b) Specific tree plans/tree focus areas, specifically designed to enhance/revitalize a certain area
of the city, where trees are to be planted on public property, may also be adopted and amended by
resolution of the city council from time-to-time. Once adopted, these plans shall also be included
into this article and comply with all requirements and regulations set forth herein. All street trees
shall be planted per the Street Tree Master Plan on file in the Public Works Department.
Section 22.144. Street tree master plan.
The Public Works Department shall prepare, and the City Council shall adopt, a tree master plan
which provides for the planting, care, preservation, maintenance, removal and appropriate species
for all trees on public property.
Section 22.145. Street tree species.
All street trees planted shall be in accordance with the city's tree master plan, and/or as directed by
the City Council or by standards set forth by the NAA and/or ISA.
- 5 -
Section 22.146. Tree topping.
It shall be unlawful for any person to top any street tree or other tree on public property. Trees
severely damaged by storms or other natural causes or trees under utility wires or other obstructions
which cannot be removed to provide for proper pruning may be exempted from this section by the
Director or his designee. An application for an exemption from this section must be filed with the
Public Works Department.
Section 22.147. Enforcement.
The Director, through city police officers, building inspectors and members of the public works
department, in the course of their duties, when monitoring construction activities, shall check for
compliance with the provisions of this article. Any irregularities or suspected violations of this
article shall be reported immediately to the Director.
Section 22.148. Violations.
(a) It has been determined that street trees within the city are valuable environmental assets to
the citizens of the community and as a result of the loss of any trees on public property, the public
should be compensated, and penalties applied to assure the primary goal of conservation, protection
and preservation of trees as set forth in this article.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision of this article.
(c) In addition to or in lieu of penalties provided in Chapter 1, any person who violates any
provision of this article may be required to make restitution. Such restitution may include, but shall
not be limited to the replacement of a tree which has been removed, cut and/or damaged by
planting a new tree of comparable size or equivalent footage.
(d) The cost for replacement of a street tree, pursuant to this article, shall include the actual cost
of a replacement street tree to replace the street tree that has been removed, cut, damaged or
destroyed, and shall also include the cost of transporting and planting the replacement street tree.
The type, number, size and location of replacement street trees shall be determined by the Director
or his or her designee.
(e) The city council hereby directs that all fines imposed for violation of this article be used in
reforestation efforts or for the implementation of a component of the tree master plan.
- 5 -
Section 22.149. Appeal of action.
Any person whose application for a permit under this article has been refused by the Director or his
designee who may consider that the provisions of this article would cause a manifest injury to be
done or is aggrieved may appeal to the City Administrator. Any person aggrieved in a similar
manner by any action taken by the City Administrator may appeal such action to the City Council.
The City Administrator, and ultimately the City Council if appealed, shall make final determination
of the street trees that may be planted in, upon or along any portion thereof and the distances apart at
which such street trees shall be planted.
Section 22.150. Filing of appeals.
Appeals made pursuant to this article shall be addressed to the appellate body on a form prescribed
by such body, and shall state the basis of the appeal. An appeal of an action by the Director shall be
filed with the City Administrator within ten days following the date of action for which an appeal is
made. An appeal of a City Administrator decision shall be filed in the office of the City
Administrator within ten days following the date of action.
Section 22.151. Authority to inspect.
The Director may inspect any tree, shrub or plant upon any street, parkway, alley or public place in
the city or any tree, shrub or plant standing on any private property which overhangs or projects into
any street, parkway, alley or public place in the city to determine whether the tree, shrub or plant or
any part thereof is in such condition as to constitute a hazard or an impediment to the progress or
vision of anyone traveling on the street, parkway, alley or public place.
Section 22.152. Authority to trim or remove generally.
If, in the opinion of the Director, any tree, shrub or plant is hazardous to the traveling public or
impedes the progress or the vision of the public on any street, parkway, alley or public place, he may
cause the tree, shrub or plant or such part thereof as is hazardous or an impediment to be trimmed or
removed to remedy such condition.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-462-2019
Submitted by: Felix Velasco
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: November 19, 2019
SUBJECT
Notice of Completion - City Contract No. CS-1061 – 53rd St., 54th St., 55th St., 57th St., & Hampton St.
Improvements
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, as
it is a governmental administrative activity that will not directly result in physical changes to the environment and is
therefore not a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Accept the work of Hardy & Harper, Inc. as related to City Contract No. CS-1061 – 53rd St., 54th St., 55th St.,
57th St., & Hampton St. Improvements, and authorize staff to submit the Notice of Completion for the project to the
County of Los Angeles Recorder’s Office.
Background:
On June 18, 2019, the City Council awarded the City Contract No. CS-1061 – 53rd St., 54th St., 55th St., 57th St.,
& Hampton St. Improvements to Hardy & Harper Inc. in the amount of $407,625.
This project consisted of a 3” thick replacement of the existing asphalt pavement on 53rd St. and a 4” thick replacement
of the existing asphalt pavement on 54th St., 55th St., 57th St., & Hampton St. In addition, the project included the
replacement of damaged sidewalk, installation of accessibility ramps, new traffic signal loops and new street striping.
On October 2, 2019, the City Administrator approved Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $2,730 to cover the cost
of reducing a traffic signal electrical conduits in order to adjust a traffic signal pull box.
The project was completed on September 20, 2019, in accordance with the project specifications and City staff
expectations.
The notice of completion was approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office on October 2, 2019.
Fiscal Impact:
An amount of $450,000 was budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 for the 53rd St., 54th St., 55th St., 57th St., &
Hampton St. Improvements project. The bid amount of $407,625 plus the cost of Change Order No. 1 of $2,730 is
within the budgeted amount. Therefore, sufficient funds are available to cover the cost of this project.

Agenda Item No. COV-492-2019
Submitted by: Abraham Alemu
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: November 19, 2019
SUBJECT
Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) with Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth for bond and disclosure counsel
services
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because
retaining legal counsel in connection with bond financing transactions 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 §15378;
B. Approve the Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) Between the City of Vernon and Stradling Yocca
Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, for Bond and Disclosure Counsel Services (“Agreement”), in
substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for an amount not to exceed one hundred seventy thousand dollars
($170,000), unless special services are requested; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the Agreement effective November 19, 2019.
Background:
The City of Vernon (“City”) owns and operates a domestic water system that annually provides approximately 6,900
acre-feet of potable water to its customer base. The major components of the water system consist of 8 active
groundwater production wells, 3 booster plants with 14 active booster pumps, 8 storage reservoirs, and approximately
49 miles of distribution pipeline. Due to age and deferred maintenance, many of the facilities have fallen into disrepair,
requiring repair or rehabilitation. As a result of frequent mechanical breakdowns, the City has to supplement its
groundwater on an as-needed basis with costly imported water in order to satisfy water demands.
Based on a comprehensive review of the Water Division’s future capital needs, staff is pursuing issuance of water bonds
in an amount not to exceed fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) to finance the Water Division’s three-year Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). Staff is also seeking to refinance its existing series 2009 electric revenue bonds (with a current
balance of approximately $58 million) in order to realize lower interest rate savings. As part of the process to secure
bond financing, staff prepared a Request for Proposals for Bond and Disclosure Counsel (“RFP”). On September 5,
2019, City staff properly publicized the RFP as stated in Vernon Municipal Code section 2.17.14 requirements. The
City received a total of four (4) timely proposals from qualified firms. The four firms that provided proposals were
Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, Kutak Rock LLP, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, and Jones Hall.
A panel of City staff was assembled and collaborated to select the most suitable firm to perform the services listed in the
RFP. After thorough review, the panel reached an overall consensus that Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth would be
the most suitable firm to perform with respect to the particular scope of work as specified in the RFP. Staff
recommends the selection of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth for award of the proposed Agreement. In addition to
providing counsel services regarding the water bond financing activities, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth will also
provide counsel services with respect to electric bond refinancing activities.
The cost to retain services from Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth is proposed at a not-to-exceed amount of $170,000
over the term of the agreement . It is recommended that the City Administrator be granted the authority to issue change
orders to increase the compensation up to $30,000 for the agreement. The agreement for Stradling Yocca Carlson &
Rauth has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s office.
Fiscal Impact:
If approved, the Agreement will be effective from November 19, 2019 to the later of: (i) three years or (ii) closing of
2020 water system bonds or refunding of 2009 electric system bonds. The Agreement total will be for an amount not to
exceed one hundred seventy thousand dollars ($170,000), unless special services are requested. This fee is paid from
bond proceeds and will be due and payable only if the bond transaction is closed. The City will not incur any cost
should the bond transaction prove to be unsuccessful.

ATTORNEY SERVICES AGREEMENT (TRANSACTIONAL) BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERNON AND STRADLING YOCCA CARLSON & RAUTH, P.C. FOR BOND AND DISCLOSURE
COUNSEL SERVICES
This Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Vernon ("City"), a California charter City and California municipal corporation (“City”), and Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, P.C., a California corporation (“Associate Counsel”). City and Associate Counsel are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City desires to engage Associate Counsel, in association with the City Attorney, to provide legal consulting and advisory services regarding public finance transactions pertaining to bonds and disclosures; and
WHEREAS, Associate Counsel possesses the skills, qualifications, and experience necessary to assist as Associate Counsel in said matters; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney of the City of Vernon, herein referred to as “City Attorney,”is the Chief Legal Advisor for the City and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the interests of the City, its Council, officers, employees and agents, as provided for by California law
and the Charter and ordinances of the City.
WITNESSETH:
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1.0 Scope of Services.
Associate Counsel hereby is associated as Counsel of Record in association with the City Attorney to perform such legal services as may be required from time to time in connection with specific transactional matters as specified in the Request for Proposals issued on or about
September 5, 2019, a copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. Brian P. Forbath, a principal member of the firm of Associate Counsel, shall be responsible for the performance of services hereunder, shall personally handle all significant matters, and shall supervise any services
performed by other members of Associate Counsel's firm and by its employees. It is understood that the City Attorney is chief counsel of record for all purposes. In light of the subject matter and scope of this Agreement, Associate Counsel’s performance hereunder shall be under the direction
and supervision of the City Administrator. Associate Counsel shall coordinate its services hereunder with the City Attorney and Interim General Manager of Public Utilities, to the extent required by the City Administrator, and all performances required hereunder by Associate Counsel shall be performed to the satisfaction of said City Administrator.
2.0 Time of Performance and Term.
The services of Associate Counsel are to commence upon the signing hereof (“Effective Date”), and the written assignment of particular matters, provided, the effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to approval by the City Council or City Administrator (as appropriate), and shall be undertaken and completed in such sequence as to assure their completion as expeditiously as is consistent with professional skill and care. This Agreement shall automatically
3
terminate on the later of: (i) three (3) years from the Effective Date; or (ii) the date of closing of the transactions described in Exhibit “A,” subject and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3.0 Budgeting.
Associate Counsel handling specific City matters will be expected to institute and to adhere to budgeting and planning procedures in the sole discretion of the City. The general framework of the litigation budgeting and planning procedures is as follows:
3.1 Budget:
3.1.1.Associate Counsel shall, if requested by the City, provide a Plan and a Budget, or revisions thereof, which will include a projection of recommended steps to be taken in the assigned matter and a range of costs for each step. The Plan and Budget will be reviewed and updated as necessary, at least every twelve months, or as more frequently requested by the City.
3.1.2.The Budget shall include an estimate of Associate Counsel’s attorney’s hours, fees, and disbursements during each phase and activity.
3.1.3.The Budget should include the anticipated cost of each line item, the time estimated to complete it, and the identity (name, title, billing rate) of the primary attorney handling it.
3.1.4.Each line item should be given a code number that can be used in the billing process and in preparation of updated progress reports.
3.1.5.The Budget is not a fixed fee agreement and is subject to revision. However, Associate Counsel understands and agrees that failure to timely submit a Budget or major unjustified deviations therefrom may constitute a breach and result in termination of this Agreement with Associate
Counsel.
3.2 Plan.
3.2.1.In addition to the Budget, Associate Counsel shall prepare
a Plan, at least every twelve months, or as more frequently requested. The plan will start as an initial evaluation (before substantial costs are incurred) and shall include, with a
discussion (where applicable): a) anticipated total costs; b) the primary issues; and c) tasks toward completion.
3.2.2.The City shall be consulted by Associate Counsel regarding the component parts of projects/cases handled so that the
City can determine, or secure a determination from the City Council, as appropriate, tactics, strategy, and whether a
4
particular activity makes sense from an economic standpoint or can be done more economically in another
fashion.
3.2.3.The City is to be consulted regarding staffing of litigation and is to be advised of any significant shift in staffing.
3.2.4.The City is to be provided with copies of any billing manuals or directions for billing practices in use by Associate Counsel within thirty (30) days of signing this Agreement.
4.0 Compensation, Reimbursement and Methods of Payments.
4.1 Compensation.
Associate Counsel has established rates for the City of Vernon which are comparable to and do not exceed the best rates offered to other governmental entities in and around Los Angeles County for the same services. Fees for all services provided
hereunder by all billers shall be charged in accordance with Exhibit “B”, which is attached hereto and fully incorporated herein by reference. Associate Counsel’s grand total, not-to-exceed compensation for the matters described in Exhibit “A” for the term of this Contract shall not exceed the amount of $170,000, without prior approval of the City Council and written amendment of this Contract. In the event that the City of Vernon desires to retain Associate Counsel to undertake other matters which are not described in Exhibit “A,” the City of Vernon and Associate Counsel shall negotiate an additional fee for such other matters. Associate Counsel’s hourly rates are set forth in Exhibit “B.”
4.2 Reimbursement.
In addition to the compensation provided above, the City will reimburse Associate Counsel only for the following expenses: printing, copying costs (not to exceed 10 cents a page), transcription fees, reporter’s fees and ground transportation (in the amount set forth by the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rate). Any other expense (e.g., travel expenses or travel time beyond Southern California) must be approved by the City in writing and in advance. No compensation shall be allowed for general overhead or support services such as typing, word processing, scanning hard-copy documents to .pdf format, secretarial time of any nature (normal, overflow, or overtime), clerical work, Lexis or Westlaw, equipment rental, calendaring, setting up files, updating files, computer time or service, nor any other expense not itemized in the approved Case Budget or otherwise approved by the City. There shall be no mark-ups on outside services.
4.3 The City must approve in advance any single disbursement item in excess of $500.00, including, but not limited to, investigators, copying, and experts. Requests for costs exceeding $500.00 shall contain a recommendation of alternative information services, including use of City employees. Associate Counsel will use City Staff in lieu of outside experts whenever feasible.
4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
5
4.5 Method of Billing.
Unless otherwise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide a single invoice upon the closing of each matter described in Exhibit “A.” To the extent that monthly bills are provided in connection with special services, the following information must be provided insuch monthly bills:
A.A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. Associate Counsel shall keep the City advised regarding the identity and the billing rates of those people who work on the litigation account.
B.Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter.
C.Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and purpose of each disbursement.
D.Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line
identifying the biller, the time spent, and the exact nature of the service rendered. Narrative billing and block billing are unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks are undertaken in
one day, each should be identified with a specified time for performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a meeting or legal research. All tasks performed on the same day
should be entered as separate entries, identifying the time spent on each. Telephone conferences should specify the participants and the subject matter discussed. The City will not pay for vague
descriptions for services which do not state the precise nature of the work performed and the need for the work. Words such as "research", "strategy", "analysis", "discovery", "conference", "preparation", "case management", "memorandum", "correspondence", "telephone call" or "meeting", without an explanation of: (1) the specific topic or subject matter; (2) the persons involved; and (3) the need therefor, do not allow for accountability and are therefore non-reimbursable.
E.The City will not pay for inter-office conferences among attorneys/billers unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one attorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the specific reason and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and the participants identified.
F.Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being researched and the need must be identified. City has retained Associate Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for introductory or background research. The City will not payfor attorneys, law clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient nature on the case.
6
G.The City expects the attorney assigned to the matter to handle all significant issues in the matter. If other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary attorney, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned work be instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those attorneys or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the matter. Upon City request,
resumes will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or secretarial) working on the matter. The City hereby acknowledges and consents to Brian Forbath, Cyrus Torabi and Carol Lew working
on the City’s matters.
H.No more than two non-attorney support staff may bill on a particular case without the prior approval of the City.
I.One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should not result in duplicative work by the attorneys, or reworking of paralegal's work. Paralegal shall not perform clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research, summarizing depositions, investigation,
interviews of witnesses, etc.
J.Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific budget line item, so a bill may be easily compared with the approved budget.
K.A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months, to compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the budget absorbed.
L.The City reserves the right to request various levels of detail and specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M.The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task (e.g.
two or more attorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N.Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or City audits are non-reimbursable.
O.Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made wheneverpossible to reduce deposition expenses.
P.No finance charge or interest will be paid by the City, nor billed by Associate Counsel.
7
4.6 Timing of Payment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and costs incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a per-transaction basis, provided that any special services requested by the City shall be billed on a monthly basis.
5.0 Engagement of Other Counsel, Specialists or Experts.
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to pay
other counsel, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement without the prior written approval of the City.
6.0 Termination of Agreement and Legal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of California, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered hereunder may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or without cause. In such event, all finished or unfinished documents, project data and reports, both originals and all duplicate copies, in all forms and media requested by the City, shall immediately be turned over to the possession of City, which owns all such materials. In the event of such termination, Associate Counsel shall be paid for all satisfactory work, unless such termination is made for cause, in which
event compensation, if any, shall be adjusted, in the City's sole discretion, in light of the particular facts and circumstances involved in such termination.
7.0 Interest of Members of Local Public Agency.
No member of the governing body of the City, and no other officer, employee or agent of the City who exercises any discretion, function or responsibility in connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement pertains, shall have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement.
8.0 Interest of Counsel.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the City before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent) during the term of this Agreement, and to forgo such representation if the City, in its sole discretion, objects for any reason. The City acknowledges that Associate Counsel represents most, if not all, of the major underwriters of municipal bonds from time to time. The City hereby consents to Associate Counsel’s representation of such underwriters on matters unrelated to the City.
9.0 General Procedures.
9.1 Copies of major documents, correspondence and periodic statusreports shall be submitted to keep the City advised of any major
developments in the matter. Once the Plan is approved, Associate Counsel need not advise the City of each and every step being taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying with the Plan, it should provide periodic reviews and information on significant matters. The City does not, however, want boilerplate routine letters announcing each and every procedural step being taken.
8
10.0 Policy for Investigation and Discovery Assistance.
A copy of the City Attorney's Policy for Investigation and Discovery Assistance is attached hereto as Exhibit “C” which is attached hereto and fully incorporated herein by reference.
11.0 Conflict of Interest.
Associate Counsel certifies that no member, officer or employee of the Associate Counsel is an officer or employee of the City of Vernon except to the extent permitted by law.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the City before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent) during the term
of this Agreement, and to forego such representation if the City, in his/her sole discretion, objects for any reason.
12.0 Maintenance and Inspection of Records.
12.1 The City and any other Federal, State or local governmental agency, and any of their authorized auditors or representatives, shall have access to, and the right to audit and reproduce any of Associate Counsel's records to the extent the City or such other governmental agency deems necessary to ensure that City is paying only the amounts to which Associate Counsel is properly entitled or for other purposes relating to the Agreement.
12.2 Associate Counsel shall maintain and preserve all such records for at least three (3) years after termination of the Agreement or until an audit has been completed and accepted in writing by City. Upon written notice by the City, the Associate Counsel shall promptly make all such records available to auditors or other representatives of the City or other governmental agencies.
12.3 If Associate Counsel does not maintain such records in the City of Vernon, Associate Counsel shall either deliver said records at its expense to Vernon or shall promptly reimburse City for all reasonable costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location other
than the City of Vernon, including, but not limited to, expenses for personnel, salaries, private auditors, lodging, meals, and overhead.
13.0 Indemnity.
Associate Counsel agrees to indemnify City, its officers, elected officials,
employees and agents against, and will hold and save each of them harmless from, any and all actions, suits, claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities (herein “claims or liabilities”), including but not limited to professional negligence, arising out of or in connection with the work, operations or activities of Associate Counsel, its agents, employees, subcontractors, or invitees, provided for herein, or arising from the acts or omissions of Associate Counsel hereunder, or arising from Associate Counsel’s
performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement
9

14.4.7.Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a default and material breach. In such event,
Associate Counsel shall immediately notify City and cease all performance under this Agreement until further directed by the City. In the absence of satisfactory insurance

24.0 Time of the Essence.

1.Copies of the summons, complaint and claims investigation reports, if available, will be forwarded to Associate Counsel upon assignment of the lawsuit to defense counsel.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-491-2019
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: November 19, 2019
SUBJECT
SB 2 Planning Grants Program Funds
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, as
it is a governmental administrative activity that will not directly result in physical changes to the environment and is
therefore not a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing the submittal of an application to the Department of Housing and
Community Development for, and receipt of SB 2 Planning Grants Program Funds.
Background:
In 2017, State legislation was enacted to address the State's housing shortage and high housing costs. Part of this
legislation (SB 2) established a recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable homes in
California. The Department of Housing and Community Development is using the proceeds from this fee to provide
funding and technical assistance to local governments to help cities and counties prepare, adopt, and implement plans
and process improvements that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. Grant applications for
these funds are required to show a nexus between the work to be performed with these funds and the acceleration of
housing production, or the proposed work must qualify under a State Priority Policy Area, which includes:
1. Rezone to Permit By-Right - rezoning for significant additional housing capacity without, or lesser, discretionary
review;
2. Objective Design and Development Standards - includes pre-approved site and architectural plans that facilitate
non-discretionary permitting;
3. Specific Plans or form based codes coupled with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Streamlining;
4. Accessory Dwelling Units or other low cost building strategies;
5. Expedited Processing- streamlined processing for housing projects; or
6. Housing Related Infrastructure Financing and Fee Reduction Strategies.
The SB 2 grants are programmed so that any jurisdiction that meets the threshold criteria could potentially be funded.
Threshold requirements include:
1. Have a State Housing and Community Development compliant housing element; and
2. Have submitted a recent General Plan Annual Report.
The City meets these threshold requirements. In addition, the grant application must be for work that is consistent with
State Planning Priorities (Government Code Section 65041.1) or other planning priorities. Public Works has prepared
the grant application to fund work resulting in Expedited Processing through the use of new building and inspection
software and hardware. This hardware and software will not just expedite processes for housing projects, but will
benefit all building projects in the City of Vernon by reducing processing time, enabling online permit application and
plan review, and providing 24/7 access to plan check and permit status.
Fiscal Impact:
The maximum grant awarded is determined by a population based sliding scale. The City of Vernon is eligible for
$160,000 in funding which will be used to offset the cost of new building permit and inspection software and hardware
to streamline the process.

E. Project Description
Provide a description of the project and the scope of work to be performed below. Use Appendix A for additional
information if necessary. Note: If partnering with another local government or entity, be sure to clarify the
res onsibilities and deliverables of our localit ursuant to such artnershi .
The proposed project will streamline plan submittal and review, as well as accelerate construction
inspection for housing production.
The City of Vernon wishes to modernize and streamline its permitting and construction inspection
processes. Currently, a new project takes on average 12-months from initial contact with the City to
start of construction due to our outdated paper-based system. To streamline our processes, Vernon will
replace its outdated, financial reporting system-centric, planning, and permitting system with a new
cloud-based purpose-built planning and permitting system that includes an online customer interface
and electronic plan review. The adoption of this newer technology will accelerate the housing
development process through streamlining the application submittal processes, reducing plan review
turnaround times by allowing concurrent plan reviews and the elimination of the time required to
transmit paper plans between reviewers and designers, and accelerate the construction inspection
process through improved scheduling. In addition to software improvements, the City will purchase
hardware, including large touchscreens for electronic plan review and tablets for use by construction
inspectors, critical to improving and streamlining the housing production process.
The streamlining in the permit process is critical to attracting new development to Vernon. The City is
projecting that with a new cloud-based purpose-built planning and permitting system, the permitting
process times will be reduced by an average of 35%. Vernon would like to use SB2 grant funds to
assist in the purchase of the software and hardware necessary to make these process improvements.
