Thank you. Attachment c: Maria Ayala Kristen Enomoto William Fox Ordinance No. 1228 REppgT REC' NIED APR 3 0 2015 CITY CLERK'S OFFICE DATE: May 5, 2015 STAFF REPORT CITY ADMINISTRATION TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator Originator: Kristen Enomoto, Deputy City Admin r RE: Approval and Adoption of an Ordinance to Correct the Industrial Development Division to Industrial Development Department and Authorization of the Reorganization of the Industrial Development Department Recommendations A. Find that approval and adoption of the proposed ordinance is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment. B. Approve and subsequently adopt an ordinance to amend Section 2.69-1(i) of the Vernon Municipal Code to correct the Industrial Development Division to Industrial Development Department. C. Contingent upon approval and effect of Recommendation B, adopt the attached resolution authorizing the reorganization of the Industrial Development Department. D. Contingent upon approval of Recommendations B and C, direct staff to prepare and present a separate budget for the Industrial Development Department for fiscal year 2015-2016, and present the proposed budget, including staffing related recommendations and costs, at the upcoming City Council budget study sessions. Backeround The Industrial Development Department ("Department') was created in or around November 2007. In or around April 2014, as part of a citywide reorganization, the Department was inadvertently changed to Industrial Development Division. In an "Exclusively Industrial" city like Vernon, having a stand-alone Industrial Development Department to proactively and vigorously promote business development, expansion, recruitment, and retention is an important Page 1 of 2 and valuable part of the organization of the City. As such, it is recommended that the City Council approve and subsequently adopt an ordinance to correct the Industrial Development Division back to the Industrial Development Department (Attachment 1). Due to the 2008 economic recession, the Department has been dormant and unstaffed for the past several years. As the economy has begun to recover and continues to grow, so has and does the need for a dedicated Industrial Development Department, headed by an Industrial Development Director. The re-establishment of the Industrial Development Department is a key and critical element in support of the City of Vernon's short and long term goals of providing fiscal and economic stability for the City. In support of the City's fiscal goals, the Department will be dedicated to and responsible for promoting appropriate new industrial development or redevelopment of existing properties, and identifying underutilized industrial areas that may have commercial or residential development potential without significant detriment to existing industrial/commercial operations, or residential neighborhoods. Promoting area -wide infrastructure improvements will further the City's competitive position in the region, both for industrial and residential development. As such, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the re-establishment of the Industrial Development Department (Attachment 2). If the aforementioned recommendations are approved, staff will prepare and present a separate budget for the Industrial Development Department for fiscal year 2015-2016, and present the proposed budget, including staffing related recommendations and costs, at one of the upcoming City Council budget study sessions. Fiscal Imnact There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the proposed ordinance to correct the title of the Department or the resolution to re-establish the Department. Any fiscal impact associated with the proposed staffing of the Department will be presented at one of the upcoming fiscal year 2015-2016 budget study sessions. Attachment(s) 1.
