STAFF REPORT
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
DATE: August 7, 2001
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: William R. Kelly, City M er
By: Linda Garcia, Special Projec s anager
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6249 AND
RESOLUTON NO. 6252 WHICH DESIGNATE AND ADOPT AN
OFFICIAL CITY TREE AND AN OFFICIAL CITY BIRD
RESPECTIVELY
BACKGROUND
Because the City receives inquiries from residents, tourism organizations and
consumer /government agencies about the name of Arcadia's official tree, flower and bird,
staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6249 and Resolution No.
6252, which officially designate an official City tree and bird. Once these resolutions are
adopted, staff will be able to respond to the referenced inquiries in an appropriate
fashion.
(For your information, in 1963 the City Council named the azalea as the City's official
flower.)
DISCUSSION
The City of Arcadia often receives inquiries relative to the name of the official City bird,
tree and flower. Although the City Council has not officially designated a City bird or tree,
it is usually assumed by the public that Arcadia's official bird is the peacock and the
official tree is the oak tree. Given that both the peacock and the oak tree have a long
history of being noted as unique and valuable, community assets, as well as the fact that
they are commonly accepted as being official representations of the City, staff
recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolutions which make these
designations official.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting Resolutions 6249 and 6252.

CITY LIBRARY
August 7, 2001
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Janet Sporleder, City Librarian "
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT A MONETARY
GIFT OF $5,000 FROM THE ARCADIA PUBLIC FOUNDATION
LIBRARY FOR THE PURCHASE OF FURNITURE, SUPPLIES,
BOOKS AND OTHER MATERIALS FOR A YOUNG ADULT
COLLECTION
Summary: The Arcadia Public Library Foundation is offering the Arcadia Public
Library a donation of $5,000 to create a. new collection of materials targeted for young
adults. The funds will be used to purchase equipment, supplies, books and magazines.
Discussion: The Arcadia Public Library Foundation, as part of its ongoing mission to
support the Library's goals and objectives, is donating a total of $5,000 to support the
creation of a new area and collection for the use of young adults. A personal donation of
$1,000, made to the Foundation by Mrs. Lee Segal in honor of her Arcadia High School
PTA Board for 2000 -2001, is included in this gift. Mrs. Segal requested that her donation
be used to purchase books and resource materials. The funds will also purchase book
shelving and display boards for the new collection.
The Arcadia community has expressed an interest in having the Library develop services
and programs for the young adults who use the Library with great frequency. At a
Community Forum held January 17, 2001, participants indicated this should be a high
priority. This donation will enable the Library to make a start in developing a special
collection targeting the needs and interests of this age group.
All gifts to the Library are subject to approval by the City Council pursuant to City
Charter article VIII section 809 (d).
Fiscal Impact: The Library will experience an added $5,000 to its budget allocation.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve the receipt of the
$5,000 donation to the Arcadia Public Library from the Arcadia Public Library
Foundation for the purchase of library materials and furnishings for a new Young Adult
collection.

Dear Mr. Segal:
n
Please accept my resignation as Planning Commissioner for the City of Arcadia. I
have recently accepted additional responsibilities in my position in Pasadena which
would make it extremely difficult to fulfill my obligations as a Commissioner.
I appreciate the opportunity to have served Arcadia for five years and enjoyed
working with my fellow Commissioners and the highly professional staff of the City. I
particularly enjoyed working with Donna Butler and her talented staff.
If there are other occasions which I could serve Arcadia in a more limited role,
please do not hesitate to call.

Prepared by: Jan Steese, Purchasing Officer
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR LEGAL
ADVERTISING TO CORE MEDIA GROUP, INC. DBA: ARCADIA
WEEKLY
SUMMARY
It is recommended that the City Council award a contract to Core Media Group, Inc.
DBA: Arcadia Weekly for legal advertising for the fiscal year 2001 -2002.
DISCUSSION:
The City requested proposals from the only two adjudicated newspapers of general
circulation for the City of Arcadia in conformance with City Charter Section 420, which
states that each fiscal year bids must be solicited and a contract awarded by the City
Council.
A notice requesting proposals was advertised in the adjudicated newspaper and sealed
bids were opened and read on July 24, 2001. The results of the proposal are as follows:
Arcadia Weekly Pasadena Star News
Approx. number of total
Circulation 25,000 18,231
Cost $ 1.00 per line or $ 1.12 per line or
$10.00 per inch $15.68 per inch
The Pasadena Star News fees are determined using the width of a standard classified ad
and the City of Arcadia notices are printed two columns in width. The Arcadia weekly
bases their cost as one column width of print. Although there is a difference in pricing
methods, Arcadia Weekly is the lowest responsive bidder. The proposals were reviewed
by the Administrative Services Director and the Purchasing Officer and found to be
satisfactory.
LASER IMAGED
Co./ - 13 1.
FISCAL IMPACT
Legal Advertising is budgeted in the General Fund from the City Clerk's operating
budget, with $23,000.00 appropriated for FY 01/02. Special projects pay for any
advertising requirements separately.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council award a contract for legal advertising to
Core Media Group, Inc. DBA: Arcadia Weekly for the current fiscal year and
authorize the City Manager to sign the contract after approval as to form by the
City Attorney.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
August 7, 2001
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: WDon Penman, Assistant City Manager /Development Services Director
rpA,-By: Dan A. Lazo, Associate Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT FOR CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
PROVIDED BY WILLDAN /ED CLINE
SUMMARY
Since 1996, the City has a contract with Willdan Associates for city traffic engineering
services. Over the last several years, the Willdan representative, Ed Cline, has been
able to serve the City of Arcadia as the City Traffic Engineer with an average of one day
per week in the City, although the total number of hours has increased.
In the 2001 -02 budget, a total of $50,000.00 was allocated for city traffic engineering
services. This amount would provide for approximately seven hours each week of city
traffic engineering services. Staff believes, based on current workloads, that seven
hours per week would be adequate.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a
professional services agreement with Willdan to provide city traffic engineering services
for fiscal year 2001 -02. Willdan has agreed to continue to assign Mr. Cline to the City to
perform those duties.
BACKGROUND
Willdan proposes to assign Ed Cline to be the City Traffic Engineer. Ed Cline has been
appointed as the City Traffic Engineer from the first city traffic engineering services
agreement.
Mr. Cline has more than 40 years experience in municipal traffic engineering, is licensed
as both a Civil Engineer and a Traffic Engineer in the state of California. Additionally,
he has been a resident of Arcadia since 1972. Consequently he is very familiar with the
streets and traffic flow in the City and is able to deal with traffic engineering issues in an
extremely efficient manner.

Mayor and City Council

The total number of hours required for traffic engineering services has increased in the
past two years. This is due to increased development activity, preparation of a
transportation master plan, and a much closer working relationship with the Arcadia
Unified School District, specifically related to student/pedestrian safety around the
school campuses. Though the total number of hours needed for traffic engineering
services has increased, contracting for this service is still the most cost effective
approach as a full -time City Traffic Engineer is not needed.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds from Proposition C allocation and General Fund in the total amount of $50,000
are available in fiscal year 2001 -02 budget to cover the proposed contract services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a
professional services agreement for the city traffic engineering services provided
by Wildan /Ed Cline.

SUBJECT: 2000 -2001 WEED ABATEMENT CHARGE ST - PUBLIC HEARING
On July 17, 2001 the Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner's Office
delivered the list of private properties within the City on which the County
has abated weeds, rubbish and refuse. The location of these properties has
been inserted for your information. The charges to property owners of the
abated properties are attached to this report.
It should be noted that, of the thirty (30) properties listed, sixteen (16)
of the parcels incurred a minimal charge of $25.26 for inspection only of the
property by County, personnel.
Each property listed on the charge list has been posted and noticed of the
public hearing this date, which was scheduled to, hear objections, if any, to
the charges for abatement or inspection. If an objection is lodged, the City
Council may want to have the matter investigated by the City Fire Department
or overrule the objection and the following motion would be in order.
RECOMMENDATION:
Following the close of the public hearing, MOVE to confirm the charge list
as submitted and DIRECT that the County Auditor be instructed to enter the
amounts of the assessments against the respective parcels of land as they
appear on the current property assessment roll.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Director'�
Prepared by: Bud Holcomb, Water Superintendent
Rita Kurth, Water Services Officer
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT TO CLINICAL LABORATORY OF SAN BERNARDINO,
INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $41,045 TO PROVIDE LABORATORY
TESTING SERVICES OF CITY WATER SAMPLES
RI IMMARY•
All water providers are required by the State of California — Department of Health
Services (DOHS) to perform periodic quality testing of their local water supply. These
samples must be tested by a DOHS certified laboratory. A Request for Proposal was
sent to five (5) local laboratories.
Clinical Laboratory of San Bernardino and three (3) other laboratories submitted
proposals to perform water quality testing of the City's water supply. One laboratory
declined to submit a proposal. A staff committee selected Clinical Laboratory of San
Bernardino as the most qualified to perform the scope of work. The proposal submitted
by Clinical Laboratory of San Bernardino is in the amount of $41,045. It is
recommended that a professional services agreement be awarded to Clinical
Laboratory of San Bernardino in the amount of $41,045 for water quality testing
services.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Arcadia Public Works Services Department collects water samples from the
City's wells and pipelines to ensure the effective delivery of high quality potable water to
the residents of Arcadia. The State of California Domestic Water Quality and Monitoring
regulations require that samples be collected and tested weekly, monthly, quarterly and
annually by a DOHS certified laboratory (Chapter 15, Title 22, California Code of
Regulations).
The scope of services for this professional services agreement includes furnishing all
labor, services, equipment, supplies and all other items and facilities necessary to
appropriately analyze domestic water samples as required by the State of California,
and special samples for discharge of water into the storm drainage system and special
samples as required by DOHS. LASER n r, --

Staff requested proposals from (5) five local DOHS certified laboratories;. Four (4) of
these proposals were completed and returned to the Public Works Services

SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION
NO. 6256 INCREASING ARCADIA TRANSIT DIAL -A -RIDE
FULL -FARE RATE FOR SINGLE ONE -WAY TRIPS FROM $0.75 TO
$1.00, AND THE MONTHLY PASS RATE FROM $16.00 TO $22.00;
THE REDUCED -FARE RATE FOR SENIORS AND PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES WILL REMAIN AT $0.25 FOR SINGLE ONE -WAY
SERVICE AND $5.00 FOR MONTHLY PASSES.
Summary
The Arcadia Transit Dial -A -Ride (DAR) system has been providing door -to -door
transit service to the citizens of Arcadia_ for 26 years, and since its inception, the fee
for one -way service trips has remained at 75 cents to the general public. In August
1999, the Arcadia Monthly Pass program was reinstated as alternate fare method.
The pass provides riders the convenience of unlimited DAR trips within a calendar
month without the worry of having exact fare (i.e., coins), and increases the accuracy
of daily reconciliation of the fare box revenue.
A full -fare pass is currently offered at $16.00 per month for adults and students who
frequently use Arcadia Transit, and a reduced -fare pass is available for seniors and
persons with disabilities at a low cost of $5.00 per month. The fees for both passes
were based on an industry standard of 22 trips per month for full -fare passengers and
20 trips per month for reduced -fare passengers.
Discussion
Comparatively among the major demand response agencies in Los Angeles County,
Arcadia Transit offers one of the lowest priced DAR service for single one -way trips
and monthly passes. Among the thirteen city agencies surveyed, only six agencies
offered service to the general public, seven offered only paratransit service, which is
limited solely to seniors and /or persons with disabilities, and zero offered a monthly
pass program. The average fee for the thirteen DAR agencies is $1.06 per single
one -way trip, which is 30% higher than the current general public fee of $0.75
charged by Arcadia Transit.

0 /"). .,r Z.
In general, it is unusual for monthly passes to be instituted in demand - responsive
paratransit systems. The reason that passes are generally not sold for demand -
response, or dial -a -ride systems, is most easily explained in economic terms. In a
fixed route system, the buses are operated whether or not there are passengers.
Once the buses are in operation, the marginal cost of each additional passenger is
zero, since it does not cost more to carry one more passenger. In a dial -a -ride
system, the vehicles do not operate unless there are trip requests; each trip request
incurs the full marginal cost of operating a vehicle to transport a specific passenger.
For this reason there are no economies of scale in selling a monthly pass which
allows a person unlimited use of the demand - responsive system for a set cost.
This situation can be improved by setting the monthly pass price at a level that
provides an average per trip fare closer to the equivalent cash fare for that same trip.
Arcadia Transit Monthly Pass program is a good deal for the residents who buy and
use these passes. However, after analyzing the service provided by peer agencies,
staff concludes the current pass prices are set much too low in relation to the cash
fares. This is most particularly the case with the majority of the Full Fare passes,
which are purchased primarily by students and provided with prescheduled
subscription trips to and from their schools on a daily basis. Staff recommends that
the City Council consider increasing the Full Fare Pass cost to $22 -- $1 per weekday
in an average month -- which would result in an average trip return of $0.50
(assuming round trips). However, staff still supports the pass program as a
convenient method for students to ride the system.
In addition to the economic considerations mentioned, informal observations by bus
operators at R &D Transportations Services, the City's service provider, indicate a
large number of the school -age passengers that do not use monthly passes generally
do not have the exact 75 cents in coins and insert dollar bills in the revenue box.
Increasing the daily fare to an even "one dollar" will reduce a passenger's confusion
and frustration associated with not having the correct fare or not receiving change
from the operator.
Fiscal Impact
Fiscal impact is minimal to the operation of the service. The average monthly cost of
operating the service equals $5.11 per passenger; the difference between the fare
and cost of service per passenger is subsidized with local and state money received
through Prop A and Prop C funding. Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority staff has confirmed that the City's Prop A and Prop C
formula funding will not be affected with the proposed increase.

Recommendation
It is recommended by the Development Service staff that the City Council adopt
Resolution No. 6256 approving an increase to the Full -Fare fee for both the single
one -way trips from $0.75 to $1.00 and the Monthly Pass from $16.00 to $22.00
effective September 1, 2001, and that the Seniors and Persons with Disabilities fare
remain at $.025 per single one -way trip and $5.00 per monthly pass.

Arcadia "Dial• -A -Ride" Fares Going Up Next Montle
(George Pao reporting at Arcadia)
Fares for Arcadia "Dial -A-Ride" services will be raised starting September 1, 2001. This is
the first time in Arcadia to adjust fares for "Dial -A- Ride ".
According to City Hall's new published fares, one -way fare will be adjusted from the now
75 cents to one dollar. Monthly pass will be adjusted from sixteen dollars to twenty one
dollars. Seniors over 62 and handicapped residents will still enjoy the old rate -- one -way
fare will remain 25 cents and monthly pass five dollars.
Arcadia "Dial -A- Ride" services started in 1975. It has been 26 years since its initial
operation. Presently there are 18 vans in the operation, annually servicing 167,500
passengers/rides-
Arcadia "Dial -A- Ride" hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., On weekends, the hours are
from 7:00 a.m_ to 7:00 p.m.. In the beginning, not too many Chinese residents use this
service. Nevertheless, recently many Chinese residents staffed to use this service. Some
high school students also used this service to get to and come back from school.
"Dial -A- Ride" had been subsidized by government to keep its fares low, Every Arcadia
resident can call for a ride within Arcadia City. "Dial -A- Ride" will pick up the passengers
at the doors after receiving calls. It is very convenient for seniors, health- impaired, and
handicapped persons_
Even after the fare - adjustment, " Dial -A- Ride" is still very economical, Therefore, residents
can still rely on this service for their needs. Monthly passes can be purchased at Arcadia
City Hall. Details can be reached at Arcadia Traffic Services Department, phone number:

EPA Intends to Raise Water Treatment Standard
Arcadia Water Bill Will Triple
(George Pao reporting at Arcadia)
Arcadia City government. is concemed.about the proposed Los Angeles -Area.waste water
treatment project. According to estimate, if waste water treatment project is to meet the
proposed higher standard, Arcadia residents' water bills will be tripled: � .,
Arcadia Councilman Chandler attended local water district meeting representing Arcadia
City Council. Through the office of Arcadia city assistant engineer Hamilton, Chandler sent
out notices indicating that the treatment project will cost additional two billion dollars.
Aside from the initial investment of two hundred thousand dollars, annual investment of
one hundred twenty thousand dollars will be required. This will cause a significant
increase of water bills for most businesses and residents.
According to estimate, if waste water is to be treated at the new standard, residential and
industrial water bills will be tripled, from the present basic rate of $85.00 increased to
$245.00 annually_ Meanwhile, energy consumption will increase as well.
Los Angeles area is talking about recycling waste water for industrial, agricultural, and
commercial use. This type of water is not for human consumption. 'Nevertheless, EPA
recently proposed to raise the recycled water to the standard of human consumption, The
treatment cost to reach the higher standard will be double of what it used to be.
It is possible for. people to'accept recycled waste water for industrial, agricultural, and
commercial usage. However, to convert waste water for human drinking may not be
readily acceptable.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
August 7, 2001
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager /Development Services Director
By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.
6251: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THE CITY OF ARCADIA TO BE IN
CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM (CMP) AND ADOPTING THE CMP LOCAL
IMPLEMENTATION REPORT (LIR) IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65089.
SUMMARY
Each city in the State of California is required to submit annually a Local
Implementation Report (LIR) and certify by resolution to the local Congestion
Management Agency that it is in compliance with the local Congestion Management
Program (CMP).
For the City of Arcadia, the report and resolution are to be sent to the Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) as the Local Congestion
Management Agency. The report is due each year by September 1st. Staff is
recommending that the attached Resolution No. 6251 be adopted and sent to the MTA
with the Local Implementation Report.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Congestion
Management Program (CMP) was developed in response to the passage of Proposition
111 in 1990. The 1999 CMP is the fifth edition adopted by Los Angeles County since
Proposition 111 required such programs.
Proposition 111 provided an increase in the State gas tax to fund regional
transportation improvements, and included the CMP to monitor regional transportation
LASER IMAGED
conditions. Conformance with the CMP assures that local agencies are providing
transportation improvements to offset the traffic congestion resulting from new
development. If a city does not conform to the CMP, that city's share of the gas tax
increase provided by Proposition 111 may be withheld and allocated to the County to
use on regional transportation projects.
To assure conformance with the CMP, local agencies are required to submit annually a
resolution and Local Implementation Report (LIR) to the MTA. The resolution and LIR
must be adopted at a public hearing, and submitted to the MTA by September 1 st. The
LIR is to be adopted along with a resolution finding that the City is in conformance with
the CMP. In order to conform to the requirements of the CMP, the City must perform
the following actions:
1) Continue to implement a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance
(Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780).
2) Submit to the MTA, by September 1st of each year, a resolution finding that the
City is in conformance with the CMP, and a Local Implementation Report (LIR)
that consists of a deficiency plan status summary; a new development activity
report; and transportation improvements credit claim forms, if applicable. The LIR
must show that the City is meeting its traffic congestion reduction responsibilities.
The requirements of the TDM Ordinance (Ord. 1984) and the LUA Program (Reso.
5780) are being applied to relevant projects, and the attached Resolution No. 6251 and
LIR show that the City of Arcadia is satisfying its traffic congestion reduction
responsibilities, and is in conformance with the CMP.
DISCUSSION
Compliance Action No. 1
The City Council adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance
(Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780) in 1994. The TDM
Ordinance applies to new, non - residential developments of 25,000 or more gross
square feet. The LUA Program applies to any project that is subject to an
environmental impact report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
Compliance Action No. 2
The Local Implementation Report to be submitted to the MTA must include the
following:

• A Resolution that finds the City to be in Conformance with the CMP
The attached Resolution No. 6251 finds the City of Arcadia to be in conformance
with the CMP and adopts the Local Implementation Report in accordance with
California Government Code Section 65089.
• The Deficiency Plan Status Summary
The City must maintain a positive balance of Deficiency Plan "credits ". At the end of
last year's reporting period (June 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000) the City of Arcadia had a
balance of 5,997 "credits ".
In anticipation of large -scale development projects, such as the Westfield
Shoppingtown expansion, Santa Anita Race Track improvements, and
Redevelopment Agency projects, the City of Arcadia purchased 20,000 "credits"
from the City of Lancaster for $160,000.00 of uncommitted Proposition 'A' Local
Return Funds. Therefore, for this reporting period (June 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001)
the City of Arcadia begins with a balance of 25,997 "credits ".
Based on the 3,125 "debits" accumulated due to new development, the 2,263
"adjustments" granted for demolitions, 6,867 "credits" earned for increasing the
ridership of the Arcadia Transit (Dial -A -Ride) system, and the 71 "credits" provided
by continued implementation of the Transportation Demand Management Ordinance
(Ord. 1984) the City of Arcadia, as of May 31, 2001, has a positive balance of
32,073 "credits ", and is in conformance with the CMP.
• The New Development Activity Report
The CMP requires that cities mitigate traffic congestion resulting from new
development. Cities are required to track all new development activity and the CMP
applies "debits" to this new development, which must be mitigated. The amount of
"debits" may be "adjusted" for demolitions. During this reporting period, the City
accumulated 3,125 "debits" as a result of new development activity, and 2,263
"adjustments" for demolitions.
• Transportation Improvements Credit Claims
Cities may submit to the MTA a list of transportation improvements that reduce local
and /or regional traffic congestion for "credits ". For this reporting period there were
no capital improvement projects, but the increase in Arcadia Transit ridership that is
attributed to the Monthly Pass program, earned 6,867 "credits ", and the continued
implementation of the TDM Ordinance earned 71 "credits ".

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The adoption of a Local Implementation Report is not subject to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The development or adoption of
transportation improvement programs is exempt by statute (CEQA Guidelines Section
15276).
FISCAL IMPACT
Nonconformance with the CMP could jeopardize gas tax funds. If the MTA determined
that a city is not in conformance with the CMP, the State Controller is notified to
withhold from that jurisdiction its annual allocation of the State gas tax increase
enacted by Proposition 111 (Streets and Highways Code, Section 2105). If, after 12
months, a city still has not conformed to the CMP, the withheld gas tax funds will be
allocated to the County. For the City of Arcadia, the amount that is currently subject to
CMP conformance is approximately 325,000.00. However, the City is in conformance
with the CMP, so these funds are not in jeopardy.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 6251: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Arcadia, California, finding the City of Arcadia to be in conformance with the
Congestion Management Program (CMP) and adopting the CMP Local
Implementation Report (LIR) in accordance with California Government Code
Section 65089; and,
B) Direct the City Clerk to transmit a fully executed copy of Resolution No. 6251
and the Local Implementation Report to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority by September 1, 2001.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager /Development Services Director
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.
6255 APPROVING BIDDER PRE - QUALIFICATION PROCEDURES AND
DOCUMENTS AND ESTABLISHING THE BIDDER PRE -
QUALIFICATION APPEAL COMMITTEE
SUMMARY
Assembly Bill 574 (effective January 1, 2000) added Section 20101 to the Public
Contract Code and established procedures for certain local agencies to pre - qualify
bidders on public works projects prior to the opening of bids. The Bill also required the
Department of Industrial Relations ( "DIR ") to develop standardized questionnaires and
model guidelines for rating bidders which agencies may use. The City has determined
that it will pre - qualify contractors who wish to bid on the new Police facility project. In
order to do so, cities, counties and special districts must formally adopt standardized
guidelines to pre - qualify bidders for a project and establish an appeal procedure for
disqualified bidders.
The appeal procedure will provide a contractor that is denied pre - qualification an
opportunity to seek a reversal of that determination. Staff recommends that the City
Council approve Resolution No. 6255 establishing pre - qualification procedures and
documents and establishing a three member Committee of the City Manager (or
designee), the Director of Administrative Services, and the Director of Public Works
Services for that purpose. Should any one of the Appeals Committee members have a
conflict (based on the proposed project being administered by that members
department), then an alternate department head shall be appointed by the City Manager
from a department not involved with that specific project.
BACKGROUND
The City wishes to initiate a process to pre - qualify contractors who wish to bid on the
new Police facility project. The intent of the process is to ensure that all contractors
who bid on the project are qualified to perform from a technical, financial and
LASER IMAGED

experience standpoint prior to the formal bid opening. Contractors that are pre - qualified
will not be required to resubmit information regarding their experience and financial
capabilities during the formal bidding process. This will streamline the formal bidding
process and provide for a more expedited review and award of bids and allow the City
to operate more efficiently. Contractors that do not meet the City's pre - qualification
standards will be screened out in the pre - qualification process. This can save time for
the City as well as the contractor because the preparation of a formal bid on a project
the size of the Arcadia Police facility project will require a great deal of time on the part
of bidders.
Under Section 20101, public agencies that adopt pre - qualification procedures must:
1. Use a standardized questionnaire and financial statement in a form specified
by that public agency;
2. Adopt and apply a uniform system of rating bidders on objective criteria, on
the basis of completed questionnaires and financial statements; and
3. Create an appeal procedure, by which a contractor that is denied pre -
qualification may seek a reversal of that determination, which includes: (a)
written notice and supporting evidence as to the basis of the disqualification,
and (b) an opportunity for the disqualified bidder to present evidence in
rebuttal. If a disqualified bidder fails to follow this process, then the
determination of disqualification may be adopted without further proceedings.
Staff has prepared a standardized questionnaire and financial statement in part after the
DIR's model guidelines. While the City's process is designed to pre - qualify contractors
that are experienced with projects of similar complexity to the Arcadia Police facility
project, contractors will not be disqualified if they have not constructed a law
enforcement building. It is important to have contractors with appropriate experience
and capabilities; however, staff does not want to create a less competitive bidding
environment. It should also be noted that these pre - qualification procedures are
designed primarily for the Police facility project. However, the attached resolution
grants authority to the City Manager to amend the procedures depending on the project.
DISCUSSION
The City's pre - qualification procedures and documents are ready for City Council action.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed pre - qualification procedures
and appoint a three member Appeal Committee comprised of the City Manager (or
designee), the Director of Administrative Services and the Director of Public Works
Services. Should any of the Appeal Committee members have a conflict of interest
because their department is administering the project or involved in the disqualification
of a bidder, then the City Manager shall select an alternate department head from
another department not involved with the project.
Mayor and City Council
August 7, 2001
Page 3
The appeals procedure is designed to be a fairly expedited process so as not to delay
the construction of the project. Contractors must file an appeal no later than five (5)
business days after receipt of notice from the City of non - qualification. The hearing
shall be conducted within seven (7) business days after the City's receipt of notice of
the appeal. The City must issue its conclusion within two (2) business days after
conclusion of the hearing. The decision of the Appeal Committee shall be final.
FISCAL IMPACT
Should an appeal be filed there will be costs associated with the appeal process. This
will include staff time and legal services. Staff is not able to estimate what this amount
could be.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6255 approving pre -
qualification procedures and appointing a three member Appeal Committee to
hear appeals regarding any contractor pre - qualification decisions, and that the
Committee consist of the City Manager (or designee), the Director of
Administrative Services and the Director of Public Works Services. Should a
conflict of interest arise with a member of the Appeal Committee, it is further
recommended that the City Manager be authorized to appoint another staff
member to the Committee.

SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.
6251: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THE CITY OF ARCADIA TO BE IN
CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM (CMP) AND ADOPTING THE CMP LOCAL
IMPLEMENTATION . REPORT (LIR) IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65089.
SUMMARY
Each city in the State of California is required to submit annually a Local
Implementation Report (LIR) and certify by resolution to the local Congestion
Management Agency that it is in compliance with the local Congestion Management
Program (CMP).
For the City of Arcadia, the report and resolution are to be sent to the Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) as the Local Congestion
Management Agency. The report is due each year by September 1st: Staff is
recommending that the attached Resolution No. 6251 be adopted and sent to the MTA
with the Local Implementation Report.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Congestion
Management Program (CMP) was developed in response to the passage of Proposition
111 in 1990. The 1999 CMP is the fifth edition adopted ?oy_Los Angeles County since
Proposition 111 required such programs.
Proposition 111 provided an increase in the State gas tax to fund regional
transportation. improvements, and included the CMP to monitor regional transportation
LASER IMAGED
conditions. Conformance with the CMP assures that local agencies are providing
transportation improvements to offset the traffic congestion resulting from new
development. If a city does not conform to the CMP, that city's share of the gas tax
increase provided by Proposition 111 may be withheld and allocated to the County to
use on regional transportation projects.,
To assure conformance with the CMP, local agencies are required to submit annually a
resolution and Local Implementation Report (LIR) to the MTA. The resolution and LIR
must be adopted at a public hearing, and submitted to the MTA by September 1 st. The
LIR is to be adopted along with a resolution finding that the City is in conformance with
the CMP. In order to conform to the requirements of the CMP, the City must perform
the following actions:
1) Continue to implement a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance
(Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780).
2) Submit to the MTA, by September 1st of each year, a resolution finding that the
City is in conformance with the CMP, and a Local Implementation Report (LIR)
that consists of a deficiency plan status summary; a new development activity
report; and transportation improvements credit claim forms, if applicable. The LIR
must show that the City is meeting its traffic congestion reduction responsibilities.
The requirements of the TDM Ordinance (Ord. 1984) and the LUA Program (Reso.
5780) are being applied to relevant projects, and the attached Resolution No. 6251 and
LIR .show that the City of Arcadia is satisfying its traffic congestion reduction
responsibilities, and is in conformance with the CMP.
DISCUSSION
Compliance Action No. 1
The City Council adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance
(Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780) in 1994. The TDM
Ordinance applies to new, non - residential developments of 25,000 or more gross
square feet. The LUA Program applies to any project that is subject to an
environmental impact report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
Compliance Action No. 2
The Local Implementation Report to be submitted to the MTA must include the
following:
Reso. 6251 — CMP

Page 2 of 4
a
• A Resolution that finds the City to. be in Conformance with the CMP.
The attached Resolution No. 6251 finds the City of Arcadia to be in conformance
with the CMP and adopts the Local Implementation Report in accordance with
California Government Code Section 65089.
e The Deficiency Plan Status Summary
The City must maintain a positive balance of Deficiency Plan "credits ". At the end of
last year's reporting period (June 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000) the City of Arcadia had a
balance of 5,997 "credits ".
In anticipation of large -scale development projects, such as the Westfield
Shoppingtown expansion, Santa Anita Race Track improvements, and
Redevelopment Agency projects, the City of Arcadia purchased 20,000 "credits"
from the City of Lancaster for $160,000.00 of uncommitted Proposition 'A' Local
Return Funds. Therefore, for this reporting period (June 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001)
the City of Arcadia begins with a balance of 25,997 "credits ".
Based on the 3,125 "debits" accumulated due to new development, the 2,263
"adjustments" granted for demolitions, 6,867 "credits" earned for increasing the
ridership of the Arcadia Transit (Dial -A -Ride) system, and the 71 "credits" provided
by continued implementation of the Transportation Demand Management Ordinance
(Ord. 1984) the City of Arcadia, as of May 31, 2001, has a positive balance of
32,073 "credits ", and is in conformance with the CMP.
® The New Development Activity Report
The CMP requires that cities mitigate traffic congestion resulting from new
development. Cities are required to track all new development activity and the CMP
applies "debits" to this new development, which must be mitigated. The amount of
"debits" may be "adjusted" for demolitions. During this reporting period, the City
accumulated 3,125 "debits" as a result of new development activity, and 2,263
"adjustments" for demolitions.
Transportation Improvements Credit Claims
Cities may submit to the MTA a list of transportation improvements that reduce Focal
and /or regional traffic congestion for "credits ". For this reporting period there were
no capital improvement projects, but the increase in Arcadia Transit ridership that is
attributed to the Monthly Pass program, earned 6,867 "credits ", and the continued
implementation of the TDM Ordinance earned 71 "credits ".
Reso. 6251 — CMP
August 7, 2001
Page 3 of 4
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The adoption of a Local Implementation Report is not subject to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The. development or adoption of
transportation improvement programs is exempt by statute (CEQA Guidelines Section
15276).
FISCAL IMPACT
Nonconformance with the CMP could jeopardize gas tax funds. If the MTA determined
that a city is not in conformance with the CMP, the State Controller is notified to
withhold from that jurisdiction its annual allocation of the State gas tax increase
enacted by Proposition 111 (Streets and Highways Code, Section 2105). If, after 12
months, a city still has not conformed to the CMP, the withheld gas tax funds will be
allocated to the County. For the City of Arcadia, the amount that is currently subject to
CMP conformance is approximately 325,000.00. However, the City is in conformance
with the CMP, so these funds are not in jeopardy.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 6251: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Arcadia, California, finding the City of Arcadia to be in conformance with the
Congestion Management Program (CMP) and adopting the CMP Local
Implementation Report (LIR) in accordance with California Government Code
Section 65089.; and,
B) Direct the City Clerk to transmit a fully executed copy of Resolution No. 6251
and the Local Implementation Report to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority by September 1, 2001.

Agency Resolution 172 adopted in 1993 permits the sale of used or pre-owned cars
only in conjunction with the sale of new automobiles.

remodeling it in order to accommodate the sale of new and used cars. He will be
operational for used car sales by mid-August but will`not be operational for the sale of
new cars until later this year. To permit him to sell used cars, he has requested a
waiver of ARA-172.

The City will receive sales tax from the sale of the used autos. There will be no direct
fiscal impact on the Agency.

172 for one year to permit the sale of used automobiles at 55 W. Huntington Drive.
