City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-289-2020
Submitted by: Angela Melgar
Submitting Department: Finance/Treasury
Meeting Date: August4, 2020
SUBJECT
Fiscal Year 2019-2020 City Wide Financial Update and Preliminary Results
Recommendation:
Receive and file the report.
Background:
Following best practices and given the extraordinary economic circumstances surrounding the current
pandemic, the Finance Department will provide a briefing to the City Council to report preliminary budget
to actual results for the City and Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) through the end of Fiscal Year 2019-2020.
Revenue Trends
Revenues are expected to exceed projections in the categories of Property and Parcel Taxes, Sales
Tax, and Charges for Services. However, due to decreased economic activity as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, other categories like Licenses and Permits slightly decreased as a result of
reduced developer and business activity. Those revenues tied to VPU, such as In -Lieu Tax and Utility
Users Tax (UUT), have produced less revenues than expected. Electric, Water, and Fiber Optic revenues
are expected to finish less than budgeted; however, Gas revenues slightly exceeded the expectations.
Expenditure Trends
General Government, Health, Police, and Fire departments are expected to meet budgeted
expenditures. Citywide Benefit costs, which include Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB), Worker's
Compensation, and Retiree Medical Insurance, were considerably higher than expected. The large
increase in these costs were caused by changes in actuarial valuations. Public Works expenditures were
less than budgeted due to delaying certain capital projects and repairs and maintenance. All VPU funds
are expected to fall below their budgeted expenditures.
Cash Position
As in prior years, VPU has the largest allocation of the City's cash and investments. The issue of Water
and Electric bonds during the fiscal year provided an influx of about $15 million and $25 million,
respectively. About 78% of the City's funds are unrestricted; however, 22% of the funds have restrictions
for debt service, grant fund approved uses, or CARB rebates. The City holds about 28% of funds as cash
to cover operations and day to day activity. The remainder of the funds are invested in money market
accounts and mutual funds.
Economic Outlook
The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to last for at least several quarters
depending on the continuation of State -imposed closures and rates of propagation. These impacts have
already triggered lower revenues than expected and may continue to do so in the upcoming years.
Conversely, the upcoming transition to LA County Fire Department will bring long-term savings to the City
and the new Transactions and Use Tax approved by voters in April 2020 will augment General Fund
revenues. The City has prepared appropriately to face any revenue reductions on the horizon and
anticipates continued financial stability.

activity that will not result in any direct or indirect physical changes in the environment,
and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section
15378, and to the extent the property owner seeks to engage in actual physical construction
or development, such would be subject to separate and independent CEQA review and
analysis; and B. Introduce and conduct first reading of Ordinance No. 1270 amending the
Zoning Map in Chapter 26 of the Municipal Code to include the properties located at 2328,
and at 2332/2334 E. Vernon Avenue in the Housing Overlay Zone, and direct staff to
schedule second reading and adoption for the August 4, 2020 City Council meeting.

MOTION
Council Member Menke moved and Council Member Gonzales seconded a motion to
reject the staff recommendation.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-276-2020
Submitted by: Cynthia Cano
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: August4, 2020
SUBJECT
Public Works Monthly Building Report
Recommendation:
Receive and file the June 2020 Building Report.
Background:
The attached building report consists of total issued permits, major projects, demolition permits, new
building permits and certificate of occupancy status reports for the month of June 2020. The value of
permitted construction in Vernon for the period from January through June 2020 was 72% lower than for
the same period in 2019. The reduction in construction is likely due to the the economic uncertainty
caused by the erosion of international trade and by the decrease in economic activity caused by the
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff will continue to monitor activity level as as the economy
reopens.
Fiscal Impact:
The decrease in the value of permitted construction directly impacts the fee revenues received bythe
Department. The decreased revenues for FY 2019-2020 were offset by other general fund revenue
sources that were collected at or slightly above expectations. In anticipation of the reduced activity and
COVID-19 implications, revenue adjustments were made to the FY2020-2021 budget.

Submitted by: Robert Sousa
Submitting Department: Police Department
Meeting Date: August4, 2020
SUBJECT
Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement and Annual Certification Report
Recommendation:
Approve and authorize the Police Chief and City Administrator to execute the Federal Equitable Sharing
Agreement and Annual Certification Report.
Background:
When local police agencies work with federal agencies to enforce federal criminal laws, the agency may
apply for an equitable share of any forfeited proceeds. The Vernon Police Department (VPD) currently
receives an equitable share of forfeited proceeds from investigations conducted by an investigator
assigned to the Southwest Borders Initiative Taskforce (SWBI).
In order to receive such proceeds, the VPD must execute an equitable sharing agreement and certify that
the forfeited proceeds received are allocated as required by federal statutes and regulations established
by the U.S. Department of Treasury and the U.S. Department of Justice.
These laws and regulations require the VPD to do the following:
• Retain forfeited funds or property separate from state or other forfeitures
• Submit a federal Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification annually with both agencies
• Maintain a record of the funds or property and any expenditures
• Annually audit funds exceeding $100,000
The Department of Justice implemented an on-line reporting process to streamline the annual reporting
of funds received by local agencies. The reporting process requires the Agency Head (Police Chief) and
the Governing Body Head (City Administrator) to certify that the City understands its obligations under the
agreement and to certify that the reported financial information regarding the VPD's receipt and
expenditure of the funds is accurate. The VPD has implemented procedures in compliance with the
outlined laws and regulations.
The Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification Report has been reviewed and approved as to form
by the City Attorney's Office.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Forfeited proceeds received through the equitable
share program vary from year to year as funds are based on the resolution of specific court cases. When
received, funds are placed in a specific VPD asset forfeiture account.

SUBJECT
Transfer Agreement with the Los Angeles County Flood Control District for Measure W Funds
Recommendation:
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Transfer Agreement between the City of
Vernon and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District to receive Annual Safe, Clean Water Program
Funds (Measure W).
Background:
On November 6, 2018, Measure W, the Safe, Clean Water (SCW) Program ballot measure, was
successfully passed by Los Angeles County voters. The SCW program provides local, dedicated funding
to increase our local water supply, improve water quality, and protect public health. Furthermore, this
program assists municipalities in complying with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Permit requirements.
The Agreement shall expire at the end of the 2023-24 fiscal year. It is anticipated that SCW Program
Payments will be received each fiscal year through the duration of the Agreement and will be based on
the amount and timing of revenues actually collected by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District
(District).
Expenditures eligible for SCW Program funds include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Infrastructure development including design and planning, preparation of environmental
documents, obtaining permits, construction, operations and maintenance, and inspection;
• Real property acquisition necessary to implement Projects selected forfunding under the SCW
Program;
• Water quality or regional water resilience planning;
• Stormwater and/or Urban Runoff residential and/or commercial retrofit Programs; and
• Administration and implementation of the SCW Program.
This funding will be used towards the following:
• Regional Programs — match share for grants;
• John Anson Ford Park Regional Stormwater Program;
• Watershed Management Program Plan updates;
• Reasonable Assurance Analysis update;
• Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Plan update;
• Catch Basin Retrofitting and Permits;
• Soto Street Low Impact Development Streets Project;
• Gateway Water Management Authority membership; and
• Inspections — Industrial, Commercial, Grading, Construction.
With the approval of the SCW Program, the first annual parcel tax was collected for Fiscal Year
2019-2020. Pursuant to Section 16.04.A.2. of the District Code, 40 percent of annual SCW Program tax
revenues will be distributed to municipalities within the District in the same proportion as the amount of
revenues collected within each municipality. Additionally, pursuant to Section 16.05.A.1. of the District
Code, municipalities must enter into an agreement with the District to transfer SCW Program funds prior
to receipt of SCW Program funds.
On June 9, 2020, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a standard template
Agreement for the transfer of SCW Program funds to municipalities. The CityAttorney's Office has
reviewed and approved the Transfer Agreement as to form.
Fiscal Impact:
Byentering into this Transfer Agreement with the District, the Citywill receive an estimated $940,000 of
tax revenue annually. Under the General Fund, $740,000 will be allocated to the Public Works
Department Street Operations Account No. 011.1043.401205 and $200,000 to Health Department
Account No. 011.1060.401205.

Agreement No.: 202OMP81
EXHIBIT C — NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) BEST MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES
Municipalities shall consider incorporation of Nature -based solutions (NBS) into their
projects. NBS refers to the sustainable management and use of nature for undertaking
socio-environmental challenges, including climate change, water security, water pollution,
food security, human health, and disaster risk management. As this environmental
management practice is increasingly incorporated into projects for the SCW Program, this
guidance document may be expanded upon to further quantify NBS practices based on
benefits derived from their incorporation on projects.
The SCW Program defines NBS as a Project that utilizes natural processes that slow,
detain, infiltrate or filter Stormwater or Urban Runoff. These methods may include relying
predominantly on soils and vegetation; increasing the permeability of Impermeable Areas;
protecting undeveloped mountains and floodplains; creating and restoring riparian habitat
and wetlands; creating rain gardens, bioswales, and parkway basins; enhancing soil
through composting, mulching; and, planting trees and vegetation, with preference for
native species. NBS may also be designed to provide additional benefits such as
sequestering carbon, supporting biodiversity, providing shade, creating and enhancing
parks and open space, and improving quality of life for surrounding communities. NBS
include Projects that mimic natural processes, such as green streets, spreading grounds
and planted areas with water storage capacity. NBS may capture stormwater to improve
water quality, collect water for reuse or aquifer recharge, or to support vegetation growth
utilizing natural processes.
Municipalities are to include in each Annual Progress/Expenditure Report whether and
how their project achieves a good, better, or best for each of the 6 NBS methods in
accordance with the guidance below. Additionally, Annual Progress/ Expenditure Reports
should include discussion on any considerations taken to maximize the class within each
method. If at least 3 methods score within a single class, the overall project can be
characterized as that class. Municipalities must attach a copy of the matrix for each
project with the good, better, or best column indicated for each method, to facilitate District
tracking of methods being utilized.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-286-2020
Submitted by: Alexis Hwang
Submitting Department: City Administration
Meeting Date: August4, 2020
SUBJECT
Amendment to the Order Form with NeoGov
Recommendation:
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the NeoGov Amendment for Biddle Software
upgrade, in an amount not -to -exceed $4,476.53, for a one-year term, effective July 9, 2020.
Background:
In June 2015, the City's Human Resources (HR) Department selected Neogov as the most suitable
system to use for applicant tracking purposes. At the time, HR staff identified three vendors that offered
the desired features and capabilities at a competitive price. After a review of estimates and
presentations/product demonstrations provided by the vendors, staff ultimately determined Neogov was
best suited to meet the needs of the Department in terms of pricing and capabilities. Specifically,
Neogov provided application customization, separate applications for recruitment's specifically linked to
each recruitment by the HR Administrator (essential for City's application needs between safety,
miscellaneous and volunteer positions within the City), better reporting capabilities, and a more user
friendly interface.
Since then, the City has effectively utilized several Neogov modules for various processes including
recruitment, online application submission and tracking as well as to conduct and record employee
performance evaluations. On July 21, 2020 the City Council approved a new three-year service
agreement for Neogov's Insight Enterprise Software License, GovernmentJobs.com Subscription
License, and Performance Evaluation and On -boarding features. Although the Biddle Software module
(Biddle) is a Neogov feature currently used by the City, it was procured though a separate three-year
agreement in 2018 and was therefore not included in the recent three-year agreement approved by the
City Council. The proposed Amendment will upgrade the Biddle subscription and requires City Council
approval pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 2.17.02 (B) as in the preceding 12 months the City
has paid or awarded the vendor more than $100,000.
HR staff requested this upgrade for Biddle to allow the City access to a remote testing integration
function, which will provide the ability for candidates to complete at-home testing on their personal
devices and for the scores to be automatically uploaded into the system. Currently, candidates come
on -site for testing and staff manually upload tests into Biddle via a scanner. Based on the existing use of
Neogov for all of the processes noted in this staff report, Neogov would be the sole source for procuring
and implementing the desired upgrade. Information Technology (IT) staff has worked with the City's
purchasing division throughout to ensure compliance with the City's purchasing ordinance and practices.
The proposed amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the CityAttorney's Office.
Fiscal Impact:
The total not -to -exceed value of the amendment with Neogov is $4,476.53. This purchase was not
budgeted for, however funds are available in the IT FY2020-21 budget under account Repair and
Maintenance - 011.9019.590110.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-275-2020
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos
Submitting Department: Fire Department
Meeting Date: August4, 2020
SUBJECT
First Amendment to Agreement Number C-131831 with City of Los Angeles for Fiscal Year 2017 Urban
Areas Security Initiative Grant Program
Recommendation:
Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to Agreement Number C-131831 of
City of Los Angeles Contract between the City of Los Angeles and the City of Vernon in connection with
the Fiscal Year 2017 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI 17) grant program in substantially the same
form as submitted, to increase the UASI 17 grant fund allocation amount by an additional $304.54,
resulting in a total grant allocation of $25,304.54.
Background:
On July 17, 2018, the City Council of the City of Vernon adopted Resolution No. 2018-28 approving
participation in the UASI 17 grant program with a performance period of September 1, 2017 through May
31, 2020. The City of Los Angeles approved and awarded $25,000 to the City of Vernon's Fire
Department to fund the purchase of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE)
Hazardous Materials and Urban Search & Rescue training and equipment, Physical Security
Enhancement Equipment and Personal Protective Equipment.
During the UASI 17 grant performance period of September 1, 2017 through May 31, 2020, the Fire
Department purchased fire equipment for the Regional Training Center. At the end of the performance
period, the Fire Department was unable to expend $8,000 that was allocated towards training. The City
of Los Angeles, through its Mayor's Office of Public Safety, approved a modification to reallocate the
unused $8,000 towards other reimbursable areas. As a result of the reallocation, the City of Vernon
exceeded the awarded $25,000 by $304.54. The City of Los Angeles desires to increase the City of
Vernon's grant allocation by $304.54, to fund the purchase of fire equipment, resulting in a total allocation
of $25,304.54 in UASI 17 funds. The proposed amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form
by the City Attorney's Department.
Fiscal Impact:
The UASI 17 Grant is 100% reimbursable and there are no cost -share or match requirements. The City
of Los Angeles will reimburse the City of Vernon for all purchased equipment up to the awarded grant
funds. To receive reimbursement for equipment purchased using grant funds, the Fire department will be
responsible for submitting all required documents/paperwork to the City of Los Angeles, demonstrating
that the items were delivered and paid within the specified time frame.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-281-2020
Submitted by: Lisette Grizzelle
Submitting Department: Human Resources
Meeting Date: August4, 2020
SUBJECT
Amendments to the Classification and Compensation Plan
Recommendation:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-28 amending Exhibits A and C of the Classification and Compensation
Plan adopted by Resolution No. 2020-19 to add new and amended classifications and associated salary
ranges; and
2) Approve the revised job descriptions for the positions for Deputy City Treasurer; Deputy Director of
Public Works; Utilities Dispatcher, Senior; Utilities Compliance Analyst; and Water Maintenance Worker,
Senior.
Background:
The City Departments of Health and Environmental Control, Public Utilities, and Public Works reviewed
their organization structures and staffing as part of the development of their respective Fiscal Year (FY)
2020-21 budgets and have proposed reallocation of certain positions to better provide service, improve
efficiencies, and/or to provide succession planning for future staffing. Several of these proposed staffing
changes were included in the FY2020-21 budget approved by City Council on June 2, 2020.
HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
In the Health and Environmental Control Department there are currently two vacant Environmental Health
Specialist positions. In the past, the Environmental Health Specialist recruitment proved challenging due
to the low number of qualified applicants. The Department has proposed establishing the classification of
Environmental Health Trainee to provide an entry-level position and under -fill the vacant Specialist
positions. The establishment of a new classification of Environmental Health Trainee would attract
candidates who have a degree in Environmental Health who could then be developed and trained in
preparation for obtaining certification as a Registered Environmental Health Specialist (REHS) and then
could assume the full range of duties required of an Environmental Health Specialist. Environmental
Health Trainees would follow a State of California approved structured training program and would be
required to obtain their REHS certification within three years of employment as a condition of promotion
to the Environmental Health Specialist and as a condition of continued employment. This will provide an
opportunity to attract and retain better qualified candidates for this very specialized field. The salary
range for this classification is proposed to be set at salary range G 20 (monthly salary $5,240 - $6,370).
This classification is 20% below Environmental Health Specialist. In addition to this new classification, a
minor revision to the existing classification of Environmental Health Technician is proposed to more
accurately reflect the duties and essential functions of this classification. There is no proposed change to
the salary for this classification.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Due to recent resignations and retirements, the Public Utilities Department has assessed and reviewed
their operational and staffing needs in conjunction with the Human Resources Department and has
identified a need to establish three new classification titles and make revisions to job descriptions for
three existing classifications as follows:
Utilities Customer Service Representative, Senior is a new classification and will help the Customer
Service division with succession planning. This position will assist in the transition to a new metering
system and new billing technology by assisting with customer programs and energy efficiency reporting.
This classification was included in the FY2020-21 budget;
Utilities Maintenance Worker is a new classification proposed to perform general and mechanical
maintenance functions of the Public Utilities Department's facilities, systems, and assets in accordance
with established policies, procedures, regulations and objectives. This classification will be an entry-level
maintenance position in the Electric Operations division. This classification was included in the Public
Utilities Department FY2020-21 budget.
Water Maintenance Worker, Lead is a new single incumbent position intended to be the highest level in
the Water Maintenance Worker series with lead responsibilities recommended at pay grade G 24. This
classification was included in the FY2020-21 budget. The Water Maintenance Worker, Lead will replace
the current classification of Water Foreman which is currentlyvacant due to a recent retirement.
Revisions to the existing job descriptions for Water Maintenance Worker, Senior, Utilities Dispatcher,
Senior, and Utilities Compliance Analyst are recommended to more accurately reflect the minimum
qualifications, the duties, and the essential functions of these classifications. The only salary grade
change is to the Utilities Compliance Analyst which results in a 10% salary decrease.
1all :3414aTI 91V2601
In the Public Works Department, it is recommended that the classification of Public Works Inspector be
established. This new classification is a reallocation of a vacant Assistant Engineer position. This
position will perform required inspections related to public works construction projects in the public
right-of-way and subdivisions including capital improvements, to ensure compliance with building code
regulations, local ordinances and state laws. This position will be part of the Public Works Engineering
division and will help increase efficiency and response time on inspections. This classification was
included in the Public Works Department FY2020-21 budget.
Also in the Public Works Department, staff recommends approval of a revised job description and salary
range for a Deputy Director of Public Works position; previously titled Deputy Director of Public Works,
Water, and Development Services. A need has been identified in the Public Works Department to
re-establish a Deputy Director position to assist in the overall management of the broad, varied, and
diverse functions of the Public Works Department. The title has been revised and the job description has
been reworded to focus on oversight assistance on operational functions, special projects, as well as
support for the Vernon Housing Commission. The salary range is recommended to be set at Salary
Grade M 41 (Monthly Salary $14,599 - $17,746).
Ia1►/_101IN:11
Subsequent to the adoption of the budget, the Finance Department, in coordination with the Human
Resources Department, completed an organizational assessment and review of the Department's
staffing and is proposing a re -organization and reallocation of positions within the Finance Department.
should be noted that the approval of the new and revised job descriptions and associated salary ranges
proposed herein, does not increase the total number of positions allocated in the FY2020-21 budget as
approved. The re -structure will increase efficiencies and will assist with the upcoming changes in
workflow and incoming new updated technology. Most importantly, the new structure will provide more
cross -functional responsibilities, thereby eliminating work silos and will provide more direct supervision,
accountability, and service delivery. The total number of budgeted positions in the Finance Department
will remain the same. The following are the proposed classification titles and salary recommendations:
Finance Specialist, Salary Grade G 17 (Monthly Salary $4,527 - $5,502)
Finance Specialist, Senior Salary Grade G 20 (Monthly Salary $5,240 - $6,370)
Finance Specialist, Senior (Confidential), Salary Grade C 20 (Monthly Salary $5,240 - $6,370)
Finance Specialist, Lead Salary Grade G 23 (Monthly Salary $6,066 - $7,374)
Finance Manager, Salary Grade M 33 (Monthly Salary $9,882 - $12,011)
Financial Services Administrator, Salary Grade M 34 (Monthly Salary $10,376 - $12,612)
There are minor changes proposed to the job description for the existing classification of Deputy City
Treasurer to more accurately align the minimum qualifications with comparable positions and internal
alignment among similar management positions. There is no change in salary as a result of this
proposed change.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated total annual cost for the Finance re -structure and approval of new classifications is an
increase of approximately $9,051 including salary and benefits ($7,995 base salary and $1,056 in
benefit costs). Adding these positions in Finance will not increase the total number of positions
budgeted at this time, as the Departments will replace vacant and filled budgeted positions with existing
and new recommended classifications. The Finance Department has sufficient salary savings from
vacant and unfilled positions to fund the proposed new classifications and recommended salaries. The
Public Utilities Department has adequate funds in their current fiscal year budget as these classifications
were part of the FY2020-21 budget. Additionally, the salary grade change of the Utilities Compliance
Analyst classification in the Public Utilities Department will result is a 10% salary decrease of
approximately $10,781 including salary and benefits ($9,523 base salary and $1,258 in benefit costs).
The Health and Environmental Control Department has adequate funds in their current fiscal year budget
as the Environmental Health Specialist position was part of the FY 2020-21 budget and the
establishment of the Environmental Health Trainee classification will serve to under fill the two vacant
Environmental Health Specialist positions. This will result in a 20% cost savings of approximately
$30,684 including salary and benefits ($27,104 base salary and $3,580 in benefit costs). The Public
Works Department has adequate funds in their current budget as the Public Works Inspector
classification was part of the FY2020-21 budget. The estimated total annual cost for the Deputy Director
of Public Works is an increase of approximately $198,334 including salary and benefits ($175,194 base
salary and $23,140 in benefit costs). The overall net increase of these recommendations is an estimated
total annual cost of approximately $165,920 including salary and benefits ($146,562 base salary and
$19,358 in benefit costs).

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-259-2020
Submitted by: Daniel Wall
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: August4, 2020
SUBJECT
Agreement with Public Health Advocates and Kounkuey Design Initiative, Inc. for Preparation of a
Statewide Park Program Grant Application
Recommendation:
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Agreement between the City of Vernon,
Public Health Advocates and Kounkuey Design Initiative, Inc. to provide technical assistance services to
the City for the preparation and submission of a grant application for Statewide Park Program (SPP)
funding for the purchase and development of the property located at 5122 South Atlantic Boulevard,
Vernon, into a park at no cost to the City for the term of the SPP funding application process.
Background:
Assembly Bill 31, which created the SPP fund, was signed into law on September 30, 2008, as Public
Resources Code Sections 5640 through 5653. Funding for the grant program was first made available
through the Proposition 84 Sustainable Communities and Climate Change Reduction chapter (Public
Resources Code Section 75065 (b) (1-5).
Proposition 84, also known as the 2006 Bond Act, funded two rounds of grants. Under the two rounds,
$2.9 billion was requested for $368 million in funding. This competitive program has created over one
hundred new parks and improved over twenty existing parks throughout California.
Public Health Advocates (PHA) and its partner organization, Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI), are funded
by The Cal Wellness Foundation and The Gilbert Foundation to offer free technical assistance to six
cities seeking to increase outdoor recreation areas in low-income, park -poor neighborhoods through the
Statewide Park Program. Technical assistance may include identifying community needs, conceptual
site plan mapping, cost estimation, and building local partnerships to create comprehensive,
community -driven projects. In 2019, PHA and KDI worked with three municipalities and collectively
submitted four winning proposals.
The City has identified 5122 South Atlantic Avenue in Vernon, CA as a viable space to purchase and
develop as a park using SPP funding. The site has also been identified in the LA River Path Feasibility
Study as an ideal space for redevelopment into a recreational space.
Under the proposed agreement, PHA and KDI would prepare the grant application for the City at no cost.
After its preparation, the final application would then be submitted to the State for funding. If selected for
award, the SPP grant would not require the City to match any portion of the funded amount.
The agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney's Office.
Fiscal Impact:
By entering into this Agreement with PHA and KID I, the City will receive technical assistance services for
the submission of a proposal for SPP funding at no cost to the City. The average grant amount for SPP
funding in 2019 was $4.1 million. If awarded SPP funds, the City may be awarded between $200,000
and $8.5 million.
