The 1973 /\ot requires that maintenance aaaeearnenta be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states: "The net amount to be 8SSeSSed upon lands within an 2SSeSSnnent district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all aaaeeeub|e lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot Orparcel from the imprOvemeniS." "The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements Sh8U be made pursuant to the Improvement Act Of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000)) [of the California Streets and Highways Code]." In addition, Article }{U|O. GeoUun 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment tothe proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Because assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not considered to be a tax governed by Article )(|||Auf the California Constitution.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY The landscaping, lighting and traffic signals are for the benefit and enjoyment of all properties within the District and all parcels benefit from the maintenance of the improvements. The assessment ofcost upon each parcel was apportioned in accordance with the estimated benefit received. Traffic signal maintenance costs are ueaaaaed throughout the district on o per parcel basis. The criteria for the assessment spread of lighting and landscaping is as follows: 1. Rectangular lots - street frontage 2. Irregular lots - width of lot at setback line -average of front and rear lot line lengths or - street frontage, whichever is most representative of benefit 3. Flag lots - one-half of total footage to each of the two lots 4.Corner lots -dle narrowest frontage mwmvort21-22 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District Page 7 Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights -of -ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

Based on the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Article XIII.D. of the California Constitution (Proposition 218), and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, Baldwin Park property owners approved the formation of a Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District and established assessments thereof beginning in Fiscal Year 1997-98. In June 2002, the City was unable to obtain the necessary property owner approval to increase the assessment rates to cover the increased costs of park maintenance. Consequently, the General Fund has been subsidizing the differences between the actual cost and the revenue from the assessment. This report is pursuant to and in compliance with Articles XIII.0 and XIILD of the California Constitution and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Based on the findings in this report, the assessment roll is generated wherein each Assessor's Parcel Number in the City of Baldwin Park is identified along with the amount assessed for the Park Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2021-22. The assessment roll is included as part of this report, but is not bound herein. For Fiscal Year 2021-22, the Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District is proposed to generate revenue of approximately $792,700, while the cost of park maintenance is budgeted at $818,900. The difference of $26,200 will be covered by a contribution from the City's General Fund of $25,000 less any beginning fund balance in the Park Maintenance Assessment District Fund, estimated at $5,636. The City has made an effort to reduce this program's impact on the General Fund, and over the last several years the City has steadily reduced park maintenance costs. The General Fund contribution is for general benefits and is not assessed. The proposed Fiscal Year 2021-22 assessments are 1.945% higher than last year based on the CPI adjustment allowed by the Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District during its formation.

The Assessor's maps and records are incorporated by reference herein and made part of this report. parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 7 PART D ASSESSMENT OF THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS GENERAL Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2, of Division 15 the State California Streets and Highways Code, states that, "the net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." As the assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not a tax, and therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. As a result of the passage of Proposition 218 by voters on November 5, 1996, Articles XIIIC and XIIID have been added to the California Constitution. The new procedural and approval process outlined in these Articles applies to new assessment districts and increased assessments. In addition, properties owned by public agencies, such as a city, county, state or the federal government, must now be assessed by law unless it can be demonstrated that they receive no special benefit. Specifically, the assessment methodology for the Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District will have to: Demonstrate special benefit to assessed parcels over and above the benefits conferred on the public at large: "Special benefit" means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute "special benefit'. " Separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred to parcels: "Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. " Determine the special benefit that should be attributed to public agency parcels within the new District boundary: "Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that such publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. " ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY The District assessment is based on land use such that property owners are assessed in proportion to the special benefits received. The land uses defined below are descriptive of all parcels expected to exist in the City of Baldwin Park in Fiscal Year 2021-22. In the event there is a question regarding the land use designation of any parcel in the District, the City Engineer will be responsible for administratively assigning one of the land uses listed below. parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 8 TABLE 1 — FY 2021-22 LAND USE DEFINITIONS Land Use Code Land Use Description SFR Single family residential parcels CONDO Condominium or town home parcels MFR Multiple family residential parcels (2 dwellings or more) MH Mobile homes or Mobile Home Parks NONRES Commercial and industrial parcels INSTITUTION Institutional — Parcels owned by non-profit organizations VACANT Parcels without a building or similar structure - designated for each land use GOVT Parcels owned by a public agency EXE I Parcels exempt from the assessment, because they do not benefit from park maintenance (sliver, open space, common area, I railroad, or utility easement parcels) I SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution require that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. The Articles provide that only special benefits are assessable. The general benefits must be separated from the special benefits conferred on a parcel, a special benefit being a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on the public at large, including real property within the district. The general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit. The Open Space Element within the General Plan for the City of Baldwin Park notes that the City is almost completely built out, and open space is limited to existing parks, school grounds, utility rights-of-way, and water channel areas. Within the City, over 530 acres of these properties are designated as open space. Baldwin Park offers five City parks and seventeen school playgrounds for recreation. In 1996, Morgan Park underwent a 2.5 acre expansion, where a new Community Center and Senior Center were built. In 2005, Barnes Park, located in the southwest quadrant of the City, was completely renovated and a 3,300 square foot recreation center was constructed. In 2008, the 15,270 square foot Arts and Recreation facility adjacent to City Hall was completely renovated, and the Senior Center underwent a 3,500 square foot expansion to create additional meeting space, restrooms and reception area. In 2009, new playground equipment was installed in Morgan Park parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 9 and in 2010 that same play area was upgraded with recreation water features and public art amenities. Morgan Park offers the most activities of any recreation area in the City, including boxing, horseshoes, basketball and volleyball. Morgan Park is centrally located; with the other City parks located south and west near the City's periphery. The area north of Los Angeles Street contains six elementary school sites, but no parks. About 60 percent of Baldwin Park's City park area is located south of Ramona Boulevard. Baldwin Park's recreation facilities and parks are vital to the community, especially for the high- density residential developments, which do not provide adequate play areas for their residents. Upon full build -out, it is expected that the City will have a ratio of 3 acres of parks, including school areas, for each 1,000 residents. This ratio is well within the National Recreation and Parks Association recommended standard of 2.5 acres per 1,000 residents. The majority of the City's parkland is under the control of the Baldwin Park Unified School District, with the City controlling 10 percent of the total parkland. Parks and recreational activities are managed by the City of Baldwin Park through a division of the City organization. As such, all parks administration and planning are centralized while recreational activities are conducted on a community -wide basis to take advantage of existing park facilities. This approach promotes the parks as a system or network to be used on a Citywide basis, rather than on a service radius basis which may be more common in other jurisdictions. All of the parks and recreational facilities are equally accessible to all the properties in the District. The maintenance of parks and recreational improvements provide a particular and distinct special benefit to parcels within the District. The desirability of parcels within the District is specifically enhanced by the presence of well-maintained parks and recreational facilities which are available for the use and enjoyment of residents, customers, clients, employees and visitors of the assessed parcels. The presence of properly maintained parks readily accessible to properties within the District means that the owners and visitors of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements. Only the parks summarized in this Report are funded through the District. The other open space areas that contribute to the open space element of the City are funded separately. The location of all the parcels in the District was found to be within 1 3/4 miles of at least one park, and 3/4 mile of at least one recreational facility in the District. Although some properties in the District are within 3/4 mile of more than one park, it was determined that residents cannot use the facilities of more than one park at one time, so the assessment rates are established at a uniform level throughout the District. In addition to providing opportunities for recreational use, the proper maintenance of park and recreational facilities improves the aesthetics of parcels within the District. Proper maintenance of landscaping reduces pollution and noise, provides for open space and the planting of otherwise barren areas, and reduces property -related crimes within the District, especially vandalism, through the removal and abatement of graffiti. The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Parks Service, in a publication of June 1984, concluded that, "An investment in parks and recreation helps reduce pollution and noise, makes communities more livable, and increases property value." All of the above benefits contribute to a specific enhancement of the quality of life and property values related to each of the assessable parcels within the District. parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 10 In addition, the operation and maintenance of the City's parks confers a particular and distinct special benefit upon assessed parcels within the District, as follows: The proper maintenance of parks and appurtenant facilities specially benefits parcels within the District by improving the physical and visual environment and making the District area more desirable. • Parcels within the District are specially benefited when public infrastructure including parks are in place, safe, clean and well maintained. • The proper maintenance of parks by the District provides increased District -wide attractiveness to prospective buyers. • The desirability of parcels within the District is specifically enhanced by the presence of well- maintained parks which are available for the use and enjoyment of the property owners and the visitors of the assessed parcels. • Having properly maintained parks readily accessible to properties within the District means that the owners and visitors of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements. • The proper maintenance of landscaped parks provides increased attractiveness of the District as a place to live, work and do business. • Spraying and treating of landscaping for disease and weed control reduces the likelihood of insect or weed infestation spreading to the landscaping located on properties within the District. GENERAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels in the District, there are general benefits conferred on the public at large by the maintenance, operation and servicing of park and recreational facilities. Census data and socio-economic characteristics for the City of Baldwin Park would generally indicate a higher than average park usage by local residents. The higher densities and a greater number of persons per household as documented by census data would indicate a higher than average special benefit from the funded park improvements. Additionally, in higher density areas such as the District, the value of the open spaces afforded by parks is at a particular premium. However, parks and recreational facilities are an important part of any thriving community. The general benefit arising from the park and recreational improvements can be measured by examining the usage of the facilities by the public at large. Each park has been examined to determine the average number of registrations received by the Recreation and Community Services Department for individuals or teams from outside of the District boundaries. The percentage of out - of -district registrations to total registrations is used to determine that portion of the park budget related to general versus special benefit. City staff has determined that out -of -District registrations equal approximately 15 percent of all registrations. Thus, 15 percent of the assessment budget will be assigned as general benefit. In addition, the City has elected to contribute an additional amount over and above the 15 percent level in order to maintain assessments at approximately the same amount as in prior years. FORMULA The formula recognizes that properties have different levels of benefit depending upon the typical population associated with the type of land use. The formula considers these differences and fairly parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 11 distributes the special benefit among all residential parcels and lots within the District. Each of the special benefits identified above in "Special Benefit Analysis" are considered to benefit each parcel in proportion to the typical population associated with the parcel's land use as reported by the City of Baldwin Park Planning Division. In order to establish the proportionate share of benefit from any one parcel of land in relation to the total benefit to the District, it is necessary to establish a benchmark to relate that one parcel to all others. This benchmark is called the Equivalent Dwelling Unit. The District uses a single family residence as the benchmark Equivalent Dwelling Unit. All other land uses, as represented on the County Assessor's master property file, will be compared to the benchmark of the Single Family Residence to gain a comparative Equivalent Dwelling Unit ("EDU") based on population data as found in the 1990 Census Data for Baldwin Park, as provided by the City of Baldwin Park's Planning Division. Following is a discussion of EDU values for each type of land use within the Assessment District. The EDU values for condominiums, multi -family and mobile homes are based upon a comparison of the average population per household for single-family residences versus the average household population in condominiums, multi -family and mobile homes. The calculation of each EDU value is shown below: For Single Family Residential: Sin.gle fami/V population per household 4.06 Single family population per household 4.06 For Condominium Residential: Condo population per household 3.75 Single family population per household 4.06 For Multi -Family Residential: Multi -family population per household 4.25 Single family population per household 4.06 For Mobile Home Residential: Mobile Home population per household 2.03 Single family population per household 4.06 = 1.00 EDUs/unit = 0.92 EDUs/unit = 1.04 EDUs/unit = 0.50 EDUs/unit The EDU values for commercial, office, business and industrial land uses ("non-residential") are based on a comparison of the typical single family lot acreage versus the actual size of the non- residential use. Special benefit to non-residential parcels results from the use of recreational facilities by employees and customers, which generally increases in number as the parcel size increases. Therefore, the assessment on non-residential property is based on acres, as opposed to residential parcels which are based on dwelling units. Within the District, the typical single-family parcel size is 8,500 square feet. Approximately 20 percent of each acre of residential land, on average, is dedicated for streets and other public uses resulting in a net acreage available for the subdivision of approximately 4.10 lots per acre, which is rounded down to 4 lots per acre. Therefore, using the single family residence as a base, an acre of non-residential property receives the same number of EDUs as an acre of residential property, that is, 4 EDU per acre. Non-residential lots (a)- 4 lots per acre Single family EDU @ 1 .00 per lot 4.00 EDUs /acre parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 12 Furthermore, non-residential parcels more than half an acre and less than an acre is assigned a minimum of 4 EDU per parcel to reflect the minimum benefit these parcels receive. Non-residential parcels below one-half acre are assigned 50 percent of 4.0 EDUs, or 2.0 EDUs per parcel. The EDU value for the institutional, church, school, college and day care land uses ("institutional") is calculated at one (1) EDU per parcel. This per parcel assessment rather than per acre assessment is in recognition of this land use category's traditionally lower demand for park facilities as indicated by the City's Recreation and Community Services staff. In addition, institutional parcels receive less benefit than other non-residential parcels in the District from the operation, maintenance and servicing of parks in the City for several reasons. Institutional parcels function differently than non-residential parcels in that they: 1) typically operate fewer days in the week, 2) generally have an inconsistent number of people using the facilities daily, and 3) have a less intensive use than the property size alone would indicate because in general, the institutional parcels in the District contain large green areas that function as open space. Therefore, the institutional parcels should be assessed at a lower level than the non-residential parcels, and are assigned 1 EDU per parcel. As a result of the passage of Proposition 218, the assessment methodology for the Park Maintenance Assessment District has to determine the special benefit attributable to public agency parcels within the District boundary. Section 4 of the Proposition states, "Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that such publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. " In comparison to non-residential and institutional parcels, governmental properties also benefit from the proper maintenance of parks, since such parks attract potential customers and employees as shown below. Certain governmental parcels benefit from the District because the proper maintenance, operation and servicing of parks: • Reduces property -related crimes against properties within the District, especially vandalism, through the abatement of graffiti; • Improves the aesthetics of public parcels through the proper maintenance of landscaping and the planting of otherwise barren areas; • Reduces pollution and noise in surrounding areas throughout the provision of open space; and By improving the physical and visual environment and making the District area a more desirable and attractive place to work and do business. Additionally: • Having properly maintained parks readily accessible to the public properties means that the public agencies may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements; and • Spraying and treating of landscaping for disease and weed control reduces the likelihood of insect or weed infestation spreading to the landscaping located on public properties within the District. However, governmental parcels receive less benefit than other non-residential parcels in the District from the operation, maintenance and servicing of parks in the City. For instance, a portion of most public properties are used as park and/or recreation areas. This portion of these properties does not benefit from the District improvements because it provides the same use and function that the funded improvements provide. Additionally, governmental properties generally do not benefit from parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 13 the resale value of their properties. Consequently, the specific benefit of increased property value that is conferred to other properties in the District is not conferred to governmental properties. Therefore, the governmental parcels are assessed at one-quarter the rate of non-residential uses, but as the size of the parcel increases, the benefit increases, and therefore, the assessment amount increases. The special benefit to undeveloped property in the residential, non-residential and institutional land use categories is based on the assumption that such undeveloped property benefits from the ongoing maintenance of recreational facilities because the facilities will be in good and ready condition in the future when the vacant property is developed. For the purposes of this Engineer's Report, the special benefit to undeveloped property is assigned a value corresponding to 40 percent of the developed property EDU values for the same land use designations. This discounted value recognizes the reduced current value due to the uninhabited nature of the property. Finally, parcels of raw land and homeowner's association common area are assigned an EDU value of zero (0), based on a projection that these parcels are likely never to develop and therefore will receive no benefit from the improvements. Similarly, railroad right-of-way parcels, public utility right-of-way and well site or reservoir site parcels, water rights parcels, and other similar land uses are also assigned an EDU value of 0, because of little or no possibility for residential or non- residential or institutional development and therefore no benefit. The following table sets forth the population per unit as shown in the 1990 City of Baldwin Park census data, the equivalent dwelling units as discussed above, and the resulting assessment amount per unit, parcel or acre.

Therefore, all parcels assessed in the District receive a proportional share of the administrative costs for the District based on their assessment for park maintenance. THE MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT AND ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT The Maximum Assessment is the annual assessment shown in the Assessment Roll, on file in the Office of the City Clerk and by this reference incorporated herein. Commencing with Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and for each year thereafter, the assessment for the District is subject to an Annual Adjustment limit. The Annual Adjustment shall not exceed the change in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles -Long Beach -Anaheim Area from March of the current year to March of the previous calendar year. For Fiscal Year 2021-22 the calculation is as follows: March 2021 to March 2020 Consumer Price Index: March 2021: 282.648 March 2020: -276.589 6.059 / 276.589 = 0.022 * 100 = 2.20% Future annual assessments within this limit may be approved by the City Council without additional property owner ratification. These limits may be exceeded only with a majority property owner approval of either: 1) a supplemental assessment; 2) a revision of or supplement to the maximum assessment and/or adjustment formula, or 3) any other methodology amenable to the property owners within the District boundary. The assessor's parcel number and the amount of assessment upon each lot or parcel are shown on the assessment roll. Upon confirmation by the Council this data will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor -Controller for the inclusion on the 2021-22 tax roll. parkreport2122 Community Economic Solutions City of Baldwin Park Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District Page 15 PART E PROPERTY OWNER LIST AND ASSESSMENT ROLL The assessment set forth for each parcel is shown on the Assessment Roll for the District, submitted separately, as "Assessment Roll for City of Baldwin Park, Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District, Fiscal Year 2021-22", which is incorporated by reference herein and is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute agreements with Kroll and other entities in amounts exceeding $24,999 to make sure the server issues are fixed and fully operational. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no fiscal impact to the City other than a $5,000 deductible. All other costs associated with these agreements will be fully reimbursed through cyber insurance covered by PRISM, the City's Insurance provider. BACKGROUND On or around April 20th, 2021, the server was no longer functional due to a variety of technical issues. As a result, virtually all communications via email were shut down for less than seven days. This incident was immediately reported to PRISM and a claim number is on file. PRISM's cyber team, Kroll Incorporated coordinated with the City's IT group and took immediate steps to address the issues. Kroll is very experienced in these issues and has worked successfully with PRISM on a number of similar claims. The estimate for phase one which is completed should not exceed $10,000 plus $24,999 for legal services. Additional work orders could cost an additional amount of up to $55,000 if needed. The City's systems infrastructure has returned to normal. It is critical for the CEO to be able to execute agreement to remedy the situation. Upon completion of the project staff will return with a full summary and accounting of the costs incurred and the reimbursement or payments by PRISM. ALTERNATIVES Due to the urgent nature to restore the server there is no recommend alternative at this time. LEGAL REVIEW Not required. ATTACHMENTS None.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the SB1693 Business Improvement Tax (BIT) Fund Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2020. FISCAL IMPACT None BACKGROUND In 1982, the City Council approved Ordinance 842 which established a City Business Improvement District (BID) that allows for an assessment (or surcharge) on each business license of between 60 to 90 percent of the business license. The City ordinance provides that the funds can be used only for the following purposes: a) Decoration of any public place in the area; b) Promotion of public events which are to take place on or in the area; c) Furnishing of music in any public place in the area; and, d) The general promotion of business activities in the area. The ordinance requires the BID advisory committee to recommend an annual budget and State law requires that a public hearing be held to adopt a resolution levying the assessment. To account for these revenue and expenditure transactions, the City established the Business Improvement Tax (BIT) Fund. Under S131 693, local agencies are required to submit to the public an annual report listing the financial transactions/activities, including revenues received and expenditures.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Approve extension of the ENA; and 2. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to provide written approval of the ENA extension to Olson Co. FISCAL IMPACT There is no immediate fiscal impact to the approval of extending this ENA. BACKGROUND At the City Council Regular Meeting on July 17th, 2019 City Council approved an ENA with the Olson Co. to begin developing a proposal for an estimated 24 -unit residential project. The project site is the vacant, city -owned parcel located at the intersection of Laurens Ave. and Morgan St., next to Morgan Park. The ENA was for an initial term of one year and was extended an additional 180 days by the City Manager in May of 2020, as authorized by the ENA. The ENA was extended by City Council an additional 180 days in November 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the schedule. With the most recent extension set to expire on May 12, 2021, staff is requesting that City Council approve a final extension of 180 days to finalize project negotiations, complete community outreach, and present a finalized draft of the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the City Council. The most recent extension authorized the City Manager to extend the ENA up to an additional 180 days upon the developer's submission of a written request. Since the execution of the original ENA, the Olson Co. has made a significant investment in the project and has been conducting their due diligence effectively. These efforts include conducting surveys, validating the property boundaries, researching the abandonment and relocation of utility connections, title research, conducting parking studies and developing parking plans, environmental studies geotechnical studies, coordination with the LA County Fire Department, meeting with city staff, creating alternative site plans and floor plans to address the City's comments, starting the appraisal process, creating a hydrology report, creating the Low Impact Development plan, and transferring the Successor Agency parcels to the City through the LA County Consolidated Oversight Board. The Olson Co. has gone through the pre -application process, paid all fees, and submitted a formal application for entitlement review on March 10, 2021 to the Planning Division. At the direction of City Council during their November 2020 meeting, The Olson Co., along with staff, embarked upon a significant outreach effort with the community and has spoken to the majority of the business and property owners that will be potentially impacted by the project. Overall, feedback from the owners was positive, as most recognize the project will bring potential customers within walking distance to businesses, but some also expressed concern with parking as the project site is currently available for customer and employee parking from nearby businesses. To address this, the Olson Co has developed a parking plan that nearly replaces all of the parking spaces absorbed by the proposed housing development. This new extension will extend the agreement to November 2021 but staff anticipates bringing the Purchase and Sales Agreement for City Council consideration within the next 60-90 days. ALTERNATIVES The City Council may receive and file this report. LEGAL REVIEW No legal review is required to extend the ENA. ATTACHMENTS 1. Summary of Community Outreach ATTACHMENT Summary of Community Outreach Laurens & Morgan Parking Lot Senator Edward Hernandez, Land Owner, 4137-4141 Maine Avenue There are currently vagrancy issues and homeless at the site and this development should reduce that with more eyes on the street. • The parking lot is currently only 50% used. It is only full when there are events in the summer. • He requested that the proposed project's 16 angled spaces are dedicated to the public. • He suggested to extend the perpendicular parking spaces on Morgan St to provide more parking. • The Kaiser Permanente office is not used for medical appointments, they are an outreach office. • He is supportive of redeveloping the Kaiser Permanente plaza area in conjunction with City. Maine Pawn Shop, Land and Business Owner, 4121 Maine Avenue • They support the removal of the parking lot; the existing trees do not look nice. • They have enough parking for themselves and clients within their back parking lot and the parking on Maine Avenue. • The public parking lot is not used that much. • They would be interested in City grants to improve their property. However, if they make fagade improvements they want a guarantee that the city won't use eminent domain to condemn their land. • They want things to look nice in the area and they are improving their building now. • They support angled parking on Maine Avenue. • They want the city owned raised planter between the Kaiser Permanente Plaza and their building to be improved. Dental office, Business Manager, 4157 Maine Avenue They has no issues with the project. It will not affect them because they have their own private parking lot and are north of the site.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board Directors receive and file BPCRF's Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. FISCAL IMPACT None BACKGROUND The Baldwin Park Charitable Relief Foundation was incorporated on August 4, 2015, ratified, and approved by the City of Baldwin Park on October 21, 2015 as California tax-exempt, non-profit corporation. The key component of the BPCRF is its ability to solicit funds from private funding sources that are specifically allocated to non-profit organizations (such as grants, private donations, gifts, etc.) Its specific charitable and public purposes are to pursue lessening the burdens of government and promoting the social welfare to members of the community who are economically disadvantaged, suffering financial difficulties or homeless. This non-profit organization helps by providing local residents additional opportunities for funding sources which could support services and programs meeting their social, physical, and developmental needs. Basic necessities of life such as emergency food, emergency shelter and/or housing are provided based on available funding. The attached Annual Financial Report summarizes the financial activities and financial position of BPCRF for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. LEGAL REVIEW Not Applicable ATTACHMENT 1.
