MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF A. Adoption of Ordinance No. 952 -- Low Impact Development (LID) Standards for Stormwater Management The City of Rosemead is a permittee under the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) permit, which was adopted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, on November 8, 2012. This permit contains all regulations and requirements for subject cities in Los Angeles County for compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Included in this MS4 permit is the requirement that each City adopt and implement a Low Impact Development Ordinance. Low Impact Development (LID) is an approach to land development that works with natural conditions of the land to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible. LID employs principles such as preserving and recreating natural landscape features and minimizing imperviousness to create functional site drainage that treats stormwater as a resource rather than a waste product. Recommendation: That the City Council introduce for first reading, by title only, Ordinance No. 952, entitled Page 6 of 9 ROSEMEAD CITY AND THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JOINT MEETING AGENDA APRIL 28, 2015 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE CHAPTER 12.84 ENTITLED "LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS" OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY CODE AND INCORPORATING SAID CHAPTER INTO CHAPTER 13.16 OF THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE, WITH AMENDMENTS B. Selection of a Building and Safety Division Contractor On October 28, 2014, the City Council directed staff to solicit proposals for the administration and operation of the Building & Safety Division for the City. The City's current agreement (with Willdan) for this service will expire on June 30, 2015. The scope of work includes providing building inspection and plan check services. Request for Proposals (RFPs) were distributed on November 10, 2014. Six contractor proposals were received on December 8, 2014. Consistent with past practice for review of RFPs of this nature, a staff evaluation committee was formed to review the proposals. The committee thoroughly reviewed the proposals in accordance with the scope of services outlined in the RFP. Of the six competing firms, four of the companies were invited to a formal interview with the evaluation committee. Based on these interviews, a RFP addendum was distributed to the four firms clarifying the services the contractor would be expected to perform on the City's behalf. After careful consideration of each company's proposal including consistency with the RFP and interview with staff evaluation committee, the consensus of opinion is that entering into a new contract with Willdan would be the best course of action for the City at this time. This conclusion is based on Willdan's demonstrated community satisfaction with its customer service, corporate resources, competence, and a proposed reduction in the percentage of revenues retained by the company as compensation. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a new three -year agreement with Willdan with the option to extend the agreement for up to two additional years, consistent with the City's purchasing policy. 6. MATTERS FROM CITY COUNCIL A. Skate Plaza Development Update At City Council meetings in October, November, and December 2014, the Council discussed the potential development of a skate plaza. Discussion of the development of such a facility was ultimately limited to Rosemead Park due to land availability and the ability to fund construction with available redevelopment bond proceeds. The skate plaza would be Page 7 of 9 ROSEMEAD CITY AND THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JOINT MEETING AGENDA APRIL 28, 2015 located adjacent to the southern parking lot next to the Rosemead Aquatic Center, and would take advantage of the natural grade change in this area for the design of its features. Staff has solicited proposals for design services for a skate plaza at Rosemead Park and received responses from four qualified firms. Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction regarding the award of contract for the design of a skate plaza at Rosemead Park. B. Consideration of a Position for Assembly Bill 45 (Mullin) Assembly Bill 45 (AB 45) was introduced by Assembly Member Mullin on December 1, 2014, and amended on March 19, 2015 and April 13, 2015. AB 45, as currently written, would require each city and each county to establish curbside household hazardous waste (HHW) collection programs, door -to -door HHW collection programs, and HHW residential pickup services as the principal means of collecting HHW. The responsibility for programs required under AB 45 would fall to local governments without reimbursement. The Los Angeles County Integrated Waste Management Task Force which is responsible for solid waste management planning on a countywide basis opposes AB 45. The Task Force, which Mayor Clark serves as its Vice - Chair, has recommended that the City take an "oppose" position on the bill. Two of the League of California Cities policy committees have reviewed this bill and have recommended that the League take a position of "opposition'; however, the League of California Cities Board of Directors has not yet taken a formal position. The City's regular legislative policy allows for the Mayor to take a position in concurrence with the League; however, since the League has not yet taken a position, consideration is being brought before the City Council. Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction regarding an official position of the City of Rosemead regarding AB 45. Examples of City Council positions on a bill may include oppose, oppose unless amended, support, watch or defer. C. Armenian Genocide Resolution This item has been placed on the agenda by Council Member Armenta to commemorate the 100th anniversary of this tragedy. 7.
