7 Page 7 of 16 Bellflower City Council Minutes Item No. 8-A January 14, 2019 Page 6 of 15 8-A Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Case No. ZOTA and read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No An Ordinance adding a new Chapter (Specific Plans) to the Bellflower Municipal Code (BMC) and amending the BMC to change the term Precise Plan to Site Design Review. CEQA: This Ordinance is exempt from additional environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code 21000, et seq., CEQA ) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations 15000, et seq.) because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to existing regulations. It does not approve any new development and does not relax existing regulatory restrictions on future development. This Ordinance, therefore, does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. Consequently, it is exempt from CEQA review under 14 Cal. Code Regs (b)(3). City Manager Stewart read by title Ordinance No Planning Manager Genilo-Concepcion 1) gave a PowerPoint presentation providing an overview of the Staff Report; and 2) responded to Council Members questions. It was moved by Council Member Dunton, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Garza, and carried without objection, to open the Public Hearing. There being no one in the audience wishing to present public testimony, it was moved by Council Member Dunton, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Garza, and carried without objection to close the Public Hearing. Following discussion, it was moved by Council Member Dunton, seconded by Council Member Hamada, and unanimously carried by the following roll call vote, to read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No. 1369: AYES: Council Members - Garza, Dunton, Hamada, Koops, and Mayor Santa Ines 9-A Consideration and possible action to read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No An Ordinance amending Sections 5.28 and of the Bellflower Municipal Code (BMC) regulating sidewalk vending in accordance with Government Code 51306, et seq.

8 Page 8 of 16 Bellflower City Council Minutes Item No. 9-A January 14, 2019 Page 7 of 15 9-A Consideration and possible action to read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No continued In response to Mayor Santa Ines inquiry, Deputy City Attorney Karpeles stated that a requirement could be added that a photo be displayed on the cart as long as there is an objective of health, safety, and welfare concern attached to that added regulation. Based upon City Council s discussion, City Attorney Berger 1) clarified that for the added requirement of photo display, Section A.3 should be amended to read: The name, telephone number, current photo, and the current mailing address of the sidewalk vendor; and 2) noting a clerical error, stated that Section B should read: Any Person engaged in sidewalk vending, solicitation, or peddling must prominently display its permit. At the request of Mayor Santa Ines, City Manager Stewart confirmed that City staff could conduct random checks to verify permits and ensure compliance. In response to Scott A. Larsen s inquiries, 1) Deputy City Attorney Karpeles stated that a sales tax permit is required by the State Board of Equalization and is a requirement in proposed Section ; and 2) City Manager Stewart stated that they could add a requirement that the permit be prominently displaced. In response to Peter Hirezi s inquiries, 1) City Manager Stewart stated that there are no size limitations on the vending carts, but they must allow for ADA accessibility on the sidewalks; 2) Deputy City Attorney Karpeles stated that distancing requirements are set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); and 3) Mayor Santa Ines, Council Member Koops, and Council Member Dunton clarified that the hotdog vendor that was located outside of the local DMV office had been grandfathered in by the City, but he has since retired. In response to Fred Taylor s inquiry, Deputy City Attorney Karpeles stated that the only distancing requirements from existing food establishments are those imposed by the ADA and for safety reasons. At Mayor Santa Ines request, Deputy City Attorney Karpeles clarified that Section M is a provision that is enforced by the State s Retail Food Code which requires that any vendor who is proposing to sell food must operate within 200 feet of an approved and readily available toilet and handwashing facility. In response to Victor Sanchez s inquiry, Deputy City Attorney Karpeles stated that the requirement of food handling gloves is governed by the Health and Safety Code, is regulated by the State s Retail Food Code, and is dependent upon what type of vending they are engaging in.

9 Page 9 of 16 Bellflower City Council Minutes Item No. 9-A January 14, 2019 Page 8 of 15 9-A Consideration and possible action to read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No continued For the record, and at the request of Mayor Santa Ines, City Manager Stewart confirmed that with this Ordinance they are doing all they can to regulate sidewalk vending within the City and if regulations were not imposed, the City would need to follow the State Code and the issue would be much worse. Based upon City Council s further discussion, City Attorney Berger clarified that Section B should be corrected to read as follows: Any person engaged in sidewalk vending, solicitation or peddling must prominently display all of its permits. Following discussion, it was moved by Council Member Dunton, seconded by Council Member Hamada, and unanimously carried by the following roll call vote, to read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No. 1368, as amended: AYES: Council Members - Garza, Dunton, Hamada, Koops, and Mayor Santa Ines 10-A Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No A Resolution withdrawing the City s membership from the Orangeline Development Authority (aka Eco-Rapid Transit) Joint Powers Agreement and authorizing the City Manager to take all reasonable actions to implement such withdrawal. Director of Finance Rhee 1) provided a PowerPoint presentation of the Staff Report; and 2) along with City Manager Stewart, responded to Council Members questions. For the record, as the City s primary delegate on the Eco-Rapid Transit Board, Mayor Pro Tem Garza 1) recommended that the City withdraw its membership, noting that Eco-Rapid Transit was created to build the light-rail line and Metro has acknowledged that they are building the line, so the objective of the organization has been met; 2) stated that if the City withdraws its membership, Eco-Rapid Transit can continue to exist with other member cities; 3) stated that he has a problem spending the residents money on something that no longer has a clear goal; and 4) stated that Bellflower would not be the first city to withdraw its membership, the City will still be an advocacy leader, and can continue work with Eco-Rapid as there will continue to be mutual interest in the project.

10 Page 10 of 16 Bellflower City Council Minutes Item No. 10-A January 14, 2019 Page 9 of A Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No A Resolution withdrawing the City s membership from the Orangeline Development Authority (aka Eco-Rapid Transit) - continued Mike Kodama, Eco-Rapid Transit, Executive Director, 1) thanked Mayor Pro Tem Garza and Scott Larsen for their help as Board Members for the past years; 2) stated that Eco-Rapid Chair Zareh Sinanyan (City of Glendale) sends his regards and hopes that Bellflower will continue their membership in the organization; 3) stated that there are a couple of projects currently in play, including a federal transit administration grant; 4) stated that Eco-Rapid is currently in the environmental process of the light rail project; 5) thanked City Manager Stewart and the Bellflower Finance Department for their help, noting that they are currently in the process of transferring the finance services that have been provided by Bellflower to another city within the organization; and 6) in response to Mayor Santa Ines inquiries, a) expressed the opinion that there are still many items left to be completed on the project and there is strength in numbers, noting that the concept of public/private partnership is new to Metro; and b) stated that Eco-Rapid has to track the light-rail project at least through Scott A. Larsen, Eco-Rapid Transit Board, Alternate Member, Bellflower, recommended the City not withdraw its membership, stating that 1) there is much work to be done and expressed the opinion that he does not trust Metro; 2) the project is more than just the train, but also the development around it; 3) Bellflower is the largest leadership position in the organization and many of the member cities are learning from what we do, noting that Bellflower also learns from the other members; 4) being a member of Eco-Rapid is not just about what Bellflower gets out of it, but how the region and Orange Line Development Authority (OLDA) benefit from Bellflower s involvement; 5) the rail line is intended to run all the way to Santa Clarita, not just the southeast cities; 6) the first phase has not been completely defined yet and there is a risk that Metro will stop at the blue line instead of continuing through to Los Angeles; 7) Bellflower s success with P3 projects (i.e., Fire Museum, etc.) could be helpful as Eco Rapid has not had that experience; 8) he doesn t think it s right for the City to withdraw its membership when other member cities who have been supportive have not yet received a station; 9) there is an issue of construction mitigation that Bellflower and Eco-Rapid, as a group, could provide suggestions to Metro on the impact to the surrounding cities; 10) he does not believe that Metro will give much concern to design standards (i.e., grade separations, etc.) for the project and feels this issue is better challenged as a group and not left completely to Metro; 11) the cities of Cerritos and Santa Clarita have withdrawn from the project because the rail line was not going to be mag lev; 12) supporting Eco-Rapid after withdrawal of membership is not the same as having a seat at the table and being a voting member; and 13) the 3% match has not yet been decided and he believes that we should not leave it to Metro s determination. In response to Mr. Larsen s comments, Mayor Pro Tem Garza clarified that 1) Metro and the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) are distinct and separate organizations; 2) Metro has experience with P3 projects; and 3) he is committed to continue to work with Eco-Rapid Transit and leverage his connections for the sister cities involved in the project.

Following discussion, it was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Garza, seconded by Council Member Koops, and unanimously carried by the following roll call vote, to adopt Resolution No withdrawing the City from OLDA after the City s loan is fully repaid by OLDA: 11 Consent Calendar AYES: Council Members - Garza, Dunton, Hamada, Koops, and Mayor Santa Ines For the record, 1) Council Member Dunton announced that he would recuse himself on Item 11-U (Pacific Avenue Sewer Manhole Relocation) as he owns property within 500 feet of the subject property; 2) Council Member Koops announced that he would recuse himself on Item 11-E (red curb parking restrictions at Alondra Boulevard) as he owns property within 500 feet of the subject property; 3) Mayor Santa Ines requested that Item 11-R (City Council Appointments/Reappointments) be pulled for separate discussion; and 4) Mayor Pro Tem Garza requested that Item 11-K ( The Wall That Heals ) be pulled for discussion only. With regard to Item 11-R (City Council Appointments/Reappointments) and at the request of Mayor Santa Ines, Director of Planning and Building Services Corpuz stated that 1) the bylaws are currently written to state that the Design Review Committee must convene upon any new development within the Town Center District; and 2) the TCDRC has not had any meetings in the past twelve months. Following discussion relative to the continuance of the Town Center Design Review Committee (TCDRC), it was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to prepare an agenda item for a future meeting to dissolve the TCDRC. At the request of Mayor Pro Tem Garza relative to Item 11-K ( The Wall That Heals ), Director of Parks and Recreation Mellana provided an update on the item, noting that 1) The Wall That Heals is a) a ¾ replica of the Vietnam Wall; b) is maintained and operated by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund; c) will be visiting 34 cities in 2019 and Bellflower will be the first of three cities in California and will be the only city in Los Angeles County; and d) will be on display from Thursday, March 21, 2019, through the morning of Sunday, March 24, 2019, at Simms Park for 24-hours per day; and 2) more information regarding sponsorship and volunteering can be found on the City s website and in the new Parks and Recreation Brochure.
