the park element of the Zocalo Park and Civic Center Plaza Project after Senator Susan Rubio. The
Zocalo Park and Civic Center Plaza Project is the culmination of almost 10 years of dedication, and
persistent advocacy by Senator Susan Rubio. The idea first came about when Senator Rubio was a
Councilmember in Baldwin Park. Senator Rubio recognized the community benefits from many city-wide
events such as 4th of July and the Holiday Tree lighting at Morgan Park, however she realized that
Baldwin Park residents never had a large and accessible park space in Downtown, and she made it her
mission to find a way to ensure the residents could benefit from a future open space that could bring
generations of people together.
Through the efforts of Senator Rubio (32nd District), the State of California through the General Fund
Specified Grants funding was made available for projects that create open/civic space in an urban setting
through the passage of Senate Bill 129 (SB 129). As part of SB 129, the City of Baldwin Park was
allocated $6,000,000 for park funding for the Zocalo Park & Civic Center Plaza. The Zocalo Park & Civic
Center Plaza Project will be located in the area Northwest of Baldwin Park City Hall at the intersection of
Pacific and Maine Ave. to Sterling Way. The project will include a walkable plaza and new passive park
with public art, decorative lighting, pavilion, retail building, city monument sign, water conservation
features and ADA compliant access. Baldwin Park City Hall will also receive exterior improvements to
complement the design of Zocalo Park & Civic Center Plaza.
Presented before you is the nomination for City Council to consider the naming of the park element of
the Zocalo Park and Civic Center Park Plaza Project pursuant to the City-Wide Naming Policy.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative is not to consider the nomination to name the park element of the Zocalo Park and Civic
Center Plaza.

ITEM NO. ________5_________
SUMMARY
The purpose of this staff report is for City Council to approve additional funding for the contract with the
Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC). Staff received the attached cost
estimate for FY 2022-23 from DACC on June 29, 2022. The estimate provides a FY 2021-22 total cost
of $557,259. The estimated cost for FY 2022-23 is $676,865, an increase of $119,606.
Staff recommends that American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds be used to support this increase since
the care of animals within Baldwin Park is a vital service to the community, and COVID-19 can spread
between people, pets, and wildlife per the CDC (Center for Disease Control).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Finance Director to appropriate ARPA funds to
cover the estimated additional cost of $110,606 and make necessary adjustments to the budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no negative impact to the General Fund as ARPA funds will be used to fund this increase.
The funding will come from the Community Assistance Programs set aside funds using account # 275-
30-712-51100-13250.
LEGAL REVIEW
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND
The City of Baldwin Park has contracted with DACC for decades. Over the years staff have researched
other possible providers for this service but have found none that are willing to take on additional cities.
The County remains the only provider that Baldwin Park can count on.
The City and County are currently conducting animal control business under an existing 5-year contract
covering FY2019-2024. Within each 5-year contract the City and County each have the ability to modify
services requested by the City or pricing given by the County. The City last updated its Service Level
Request (SLR) document in 2019. The SLR only needs to be updated if the City changes the services
requested from the County, and no changes are called for at this time.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may provide alternative direction to staff.

III. Billing Methodology for Care Center Services
The City is financially responsible for the care of animals impounded within the City's
jurisdiction. If an animal is claimed by its owner, the redemption fees collected from
the owner will be credited to the City up to the maximum amount billed to the City for
that animal. The County assumes responsibility for the physical care and disposition
of all animals coming into the Department’s possession or custody.
A. Cost Allocation for Care Center Services
During the billing period, the costs of providing Care Center Services are allocated
as follows:
1. Per dog and cat impounded:
a. A flat dog/cat impoundment rate is established annually based upon the
costs of housing animals. The flat rate is billed for all dogs/cats housed,
regardless of the actual length of stay, except as outlined in paragraph D
below. During the billing period, the cost of care for dogs/cats in excess of
capped days are subsidized, except as outlined in paragraph D below.
b. For dogs and cats impounded in circumstances described in paragraph D
below, that are held beyond the length of stay captured in the flat rate, a
daily impoundment rate is established annually based upon the costs of the
time allocated to the impoundment, care (including medical care), and
feeding of those animals. In addition to the flat rate charged for dogs/cats,
the City will be billed at the daily rate for all days those animals are housed
by the Department. Animals that are held in “legal hold” will not be
subsidized.
2. Per capita fee based on the human population of the City
a. A per capita public service rate is established annually based upon time
allocated to Public Service including: interaction, intervention, and
outreach activities that are not directly related to the impoundment, care,
and feeding of animals is allocated to the City on a per capita basis.
This allocation methodology applies costs for services as they relate to animal
impounds and for services that do not relate directly to the impoundment, care,
and feeding of animals. The ratio for allocation is based on staff time allocated to
these activities.
Page 3 of 5
B. Medical Costs
Medical costs (excluding spay/neuter surgeries) provided by the Department’s
medical staff are included in the overhead to establish the cost-recovery rate for
boarding, and are not billed separately or in addition to that rate. The Department
reserves the right to send any animal to a private veterinary facility for examination,
treatment, and/or hospitalization as the Department deems necessary in its sole
and absolute discretion. All expenses incurred by the Department for outside
medical services, for animals from the City, will be billed to the City.
C. Cost Offsets
The City will receive a credit from the County for all applicable redemption fees
collected from or on behalf of the owner of an animal that is claimed from the
custody of the Department, up to the maximum amount billed to the City for that
animal. The Department reserves the right to waive fees when appropriate in the
Department's sole and absolute discretion.
The City will not receive any credit for adoption fees (whether paid by an individual
or an organization).
D. Billing for “Legal Hold” and Other Shelter Services:
Dogs and cats that are housed for a “legal hold” and other shelter services are
billed at the flat impound rate until the stay exceeds the length of stay captured in
the flat rate at which time a daily rate will be charged for the remainder of the time
the animal is housed by the Department (from intake to disposition). Legal hold
animals are held in accordance with applicable statutory guidelines, and/or at the
sole and absolute discretion of the Department based on pending or anticipated
criminal, civil, or administrative action.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. ________6_________
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
Sam Gutierrez, Director of Public Works
DATE: July 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Consideration for Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with
the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) to
Participate in the Regional Food Recovery Program and Approve
a Professional Services Agreement with Tripepi Smith for the
Development of Community Outreach and Education Materials
Supporting the Food Recovery Program and other Senate Bill
1383 Requirements
SUMMARY
This item requests City Council approval of a memorandum of agreement with the San Gabriel Council
of Governments’ (SGVCOG) to participate in the San Gabriel Valley Regional Food Recovery Program.
By participating in this program, the city will work towards a regional approach to comply with SB 1383
requirements aimed to recover at least 20% of currently disposed edible food for human consumption
by 2025. This item will also approve a professional services agreement with Tripepi Smith for outreach
and education services not included in the regional food recovery program, including development of
Public Services Announcements (PSAs) and the creation of explainer videos. Participation in the Food
Recovery Program will help the city and subregion to enhance the capacity of local food recovery
organizations, strengthen existing food recovery networks, and develop and implement an outreach and
educational campaign.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute the MOA between the City of Baldwin Park and
the SGVCOG to participate in the Regional Food Recovery Program Expansion; and
2. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute an agreement with Tripepi Smith to produce
community outreach and education materials; and
3. Authorize the Director of Finance to make the necessary appropriations and budget adjustments;
and
4. Authorize the Director of Public Works to process the necessary documents.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the General Fund. Participation in the Regional Food Recovery Program
expansion will be funded by the City’s awarded funds from the California Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery’s (CalRecycle) SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program. This funding source
will also fund the development of the community outreach and education materials to support the
program, as well as other components to meet certain requirements of SB 1383.
Program Costs
SGVCOG Regional Food Recovery Fund # 270 – CalRecycle Local Assistant Grant $ 78,000.00
Tripepi Smith Agreement Fund # 270 – CalRecycle Local Assistant Grant $ 30,044.00
Total Program Costs $ 108,044.00
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1383 (Lara, 2016) was passed to serve as a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-
lived climate pollutants (SLCP) and reduce statewide disposal of organic waste and edible food. The
law established strict targets including a 75% reduction of organic waste disposal and at least 20%
recovery of currently disposed surplus of edible food by 2025. The regulations to meet these statewide
organics reduction and food recovery requirements took effect on January 1, 2022. To aid cities in
meeting compliance with SB 1383, CalRecycle announced a funding opportunity through its Local
Assistance Grant Program. This one-time grant would provide cities and counties with initial funding to
implement SB 1383 required programs including education, outreach, food recovery, collection, capacity
planning, procurement, recordkeeping, enforcement, inspection, and program evaluation projects.
Considering this development, the SGVCOG sought interest from cities who would be disposed to using
their CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Grant Assistance Program funds to share the cost for expansion of the
San Gabriel Valley Regional Food Recovery Program. The food recovery program expansion would
include establishing subregional food recovery hubs across the San Gabriel Valley to increase the
region’s food recovery capacity and infrastructure and continuing education and outreach activities to
educate Tier 1 and Tier 2 edible food waste generators, food recovery organizations, and residents
about SB 1383’s food recovery regulations.
On January 19, 2022, the City Council directed staff to prepare and submit a letter of interest to the
SGVCOG acknowledging its interest to participate in the program and authorized staff to apply for the
SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program. On April 27, 2022, the city was informed by CalRecycle that
the grant application was approved and would be awarded in the amount of $108,044.
DISCUSSION
The SGVCOG has established and is administering a Regional Food Recovery Program to have a
unified voice to maximize resources and advocate for regional and member interests to improve the
quality of life in the San Gabriel Valley by the member cities and other local governmental agencies.
The City seeks to participate in the Program and join a regional approach toward compliance with SB
1383’s food recovery components by enhancing the capacity of local food recovery organizations to
recover edible food waste and providing outreach and education activities.
City acknowledges that participation in the Program will be funded by the City’s awarded funds from the
California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery’s (CalRecycle) SB 1383 Local Assistance
Grant Program. City agrees to support the Program by purchasing equipment or funding the collective
purchase of equipment by entering into separate agreements with cities participating in the Program.
Such equipment will be used to increase the capacity of local food organizations to recover edible food
waste.
If this item is approved, the chief executive officer will execute an agreement with the SGVCOG to
participate in the San Gabriel Regional Food Recovery program and execute an agreement with Tripepi
Smith for supplemental outreach and education services. The City will utilize a portion of the CalRecycle
Grant Funds, $78,000, of $108,044 to participate in the Food recovery program with SGVCOG. The
remaining $30,044 of $108,044 of the CalRecycle grant funds will be utilized to execute a professional
services agreement with Tripepi Smith for supplemental public outreach and education, including PSA’s
and creation of explainer videos. CalRecycle grant funds will be used entirely to complete a program to
locate and expand the subregional food recovery hubs, increase the capacity of food recovery, and
develop and implement an outreach and education campaign.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative would be that the City Council may choose not to enter into these agreements and
provide staff with alternate direction.
LEGAL REVIEW
None required.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for the opportunity to present Tripepi Smith’s services in response to the City of
Baldwin Park’s need for SB 1383 related outreach services in 2022. The City is wise to line
up resources for public education (required by CalRecycle and partially funded with State
grant funds) that will successfully transition residents to the new way of sorting their waste.
Because this is a big behavior shift, Tripepi Smith is ready to dive in with a plan for
outreach targeting single-family homes, multi-family properties and commercial
businesses, including an expansive approach if requested. This document outlines a menu
of options to maximize flexibility for the City.
Tripepi Smith is a team of nearly 40 communications experts–robust enough to offer
experienced and effective professionals for the job, yet small enough to be nimble and
responsive. Tripepi Smith offers a spectrum of skills that allows us to match the appropriate
resource to the task at hand, letting us execute faster and reduce engagement costs.
These resources vary by both years of experience and core hard skills (graphic design
versus videography versus writing versus social media versus workshop facilitation, for
example). The result: we have the capacity to conduct outreach to the public across a
range of platforms.
Tripepi Smith is a force multiplier for the communication operations of agencies across
California. From Napa to Duarte to Coronado and out to Indian Wells, Tripepi Smith is
actively working with over one hundred public agencies. We gain insights from the breadth
of this client work and apply that knowledge to our work with each client.

Ryder Todd Smith

APPROACH TO SCOPE OF ENGAGEMENT
The following scope of work is being quoted by Tripepi Smith for communication and
outreach work. Please note that we have Spanish speakers on staff and all communication
materials noted below can be produced in both English and Spanish.
Collaboration with Solid Waste Experts
Tripepi Smith has enlisted the veteran expertise of Michael Balliet, a waste management
consultant and auditor who has worked in the California solid waste landscape for over 30
years. His work has included developing and managing franchise waste hauling contracts,
developing local government policies and programs, implementation and monitoring
services related to State compliance and executing franchise hauler financial and
performance audits. He will inform Tripepi Smith’s public education and outreach
approach to ensure compliance with CalRecycle requirements. He will also be available as
a resource to staff in need of technical guidance for properly implementing SB 1383 and
other requirements including: enforceable mechanisms, provisions of required programs,
regulation of haulers, monitoring and recordkeeping responsibilities, waivers, procurement
requirements and more.
Project Management
Tripepi Smith proposes to coordinate project calls for this engagement and create a living
agenda to manage the education and outreach efforts. After the initial set-up, these
meetings would take place on a monthly basis throughout our engagement. The video
calls would typically last up to an hour and will have a detailed agenda and notes. After
each call, Tripepi Smith would send a summary email about decisions made on the phone
call and related action steps for all involved parties. Tripepi Smith will also conduct record-
keeping on a monthly basis to report out on public education and outreach activities and
metrics.
Creation and Updates to Program Webpage/Website
Tripepi Smith would create a SB 1383 webpage with information about the state
requirements and a preview of the process in the City. Tripepi Smith would update the
website/pages on an ongoing basis with resources for the community, including
information on edible food recovery, property management requirements and program
waivers. If the City chooses to create a dedicated standalone website, Tripepi Smith would
charge a flat fee of $3,750 to set up and host the site, with a $610 annual fee for hosting.
City of Baldwin Park/SB 1383 Education and Outreach
13
Social Media Support
Tripepi Smith would create bilingual copy and graphics for two social media posts about
SB 1383 per month throughout the engagement. We can boost posts (paid advertising) on
Facebook and Instagram to help spread the word about the new programs and
requirements.
E-Newsletter/Newsletter Content
Tripepi Smith proposes to develop an article/blurb on a monthly basis to leverage existing
City channels such as an e-newsletter or newsletter. In addition, we can design custom
email templates to distribute email alerts via platforms such as Constant Contact,
MailChimp, etc.
Campaign Branding/Logo
Tripepi Smith understands that the efficacy of educational outreach relies on the strength
of its recognizability and clarity. Our team is available to develop a unifying brand/logo
that will be used on all assets (social media, print materials, webpages, etc.) developed as
part of your SB 1383 outreach. This work will align with colors and themes from your
overall agency brand and will include a custom logo concept and wordmark. TS will
provide two iterations of design.
Print Collateral
Tripepi Smith will design print collateral materials (in English, Spanish and other languages
upon request), to provide necessary information to all stakeholders including hard-to-reach
communities. When well-designed and well-targeted, these materials can provide
community members with the information they need when/where they need it, helping
drive effective behavior change. Collateral pieces may include a flyer, postcard/billing
insert, kitchen pail explainer pamphlet, door hangers, etc.
Press Releases
Tripepi Smith proposes to draft press releases throughout the project to ensure local
media aids our efforts to reach City residents. Tripepi Smith will identify media contacts,
collaborate with City staff to further expand the media list and ensure we reach diverse
media. For key media, Tripepi Smith will follow up with phone calls.
Community Workshops (In-Person or Virtual)
If possible with COVID-19 limitations, Tripepi Smith would coordinate with City staff to
identify venues and dates to host in-person workshops on SB 1383. These workshops could
be tailored to share requirements and tips with specific stakeholder groups, such as
businesses, multi-family community members and single-family residential areas. Tripepi
City of Baldwin Park/SB 1383 Education and Outreach
14
Smith would devise an agenda, facilitate discussions, document community feedback and
promote positive engagement around the process.
Tripepi Smith can facilitate recording the meetings and provide videos, with any relevant
slides interspersed and closed captions. We can also coordinate simultaneous
interpretation with local partners.
Animated Video
Tripepi Smith understands the power of a clear, short video in today’s communication
environment, and we propose to develop a brief animated video to explain SB 1383 and
its impact. We can also coordinate advertisement of the video on YouTube.
Additional Options
SB 1383 Compliance Assessment
Our team offers a compliance assessment, which involves expert review of all hauler and
City programs to ensure full compliance with SB 1383 mandates will be achieved.
TV/Radio Advertising
Tripepi Smith is available to develop and coordinate advertisements on TV and/or radio.
Our team is experienced in storyboarding, script development, working with voiceover
professionals and other talent and coordinating with media outlets for ad placement. If
budget allows, we recommend TV and/or radio advertising of your SB 1383 messaging to
have the greatest possible reach.
Public Service Announcement (PSA) Video Series
Tripepi Smith offers a package of four PSA-style videos promoting recycling behaviors.
These videos would be available for use on social media, local public access channels and
other media outlets. Tripepi Smith also offers access to b-roll video footage, such as video
showing people properly recycling their organic waste.
Targeted Technical Assistance and Outreach
Our team offers technical assistance and outreach to specific groups (i.e. multi-family
residential, multi-tenant commercial properties, largest business waste generators and
edible food generators mandated to contract for service by SB 1383). Because this work
can vary widely depending on the needs in various locations, our team can scale this
outreach to best meet your unique needs as a community.
Management of Dedicated Email Account
Our team is available to assist in the set-up and/or ongoing management of a dedicated
City email account to handle inquiries regarding SB 1383. A dedicated account managed
City of Baldwin Park/SB 1383 Education and Outreach

by Tripepi Smith can enable streamlined, speedy communications specific to this issue
while alleviating City staff workload.
ESTIMATED COST OF ENGAGEMENT
The size and related cost of the engagement will vary widely with the breadth of the public
outreach desired by the City and the assignment of work between Tripepi Smith and City
staff. To accommodate for this variability, Tripepi Smith has identified three approaches to
the engagement.
1. Approach One – Time and Materials
Given the high variability of the type of engagement that may be needed by Tripepi Smith,
we could engage with the City on a pure time and materials basis. As such, the cost for our
engagements could range from $3,500 to $90,000 and would be most dependent on the
extent of our work relative to work handled by City staff and the volume of the education
and outreach desired by the City. Tripepi Smith can provide weekly or monthly updates on
the budget use and how it is being spent depending on the nature of the engagement or
project.
Note that given the preliminary analysis required to determine the extent of the education
and outreach needs, our minimum engagement for time and materials approach is $3,500.
We will bill that initial amount at the kickoff of the project and then credit that amount
toward any hourly work for the initial $3,500 in billings. This model addresses the overhead
costs related to startup, preparation and initial project management.
City of Baldwin Park/SB 1383 Education and Outreach
16
During our engagement, the following rates and related fees for services would apply.
2021-22 Hourly Rates Hourly - Ad Hoc Hourly - Retainer
Principal $300 $260
Director $200 $180
Art Director $200 $180
Senior Business Analyst $165 $150
Business Analyst $115 $105
Junior Business Analyst $90 $80
Senior Videographer/Animator $160 $145
Senior Photographer $145 $130
Photographer/Videographer $110 $100
Senior Graphic Designer $145 $130
Graphic Designer $115 $105
Junior Graphic Designer $90 $80
Web Developer $160 $140
Drone Operator $165 $150
Time at Tripepi Smith is billed in 15-minute increments. See the following examples for
how we invoice our time: 1.25, .75, 4 or 6.5 hours.
If Tripepi Smith is requested to be onsite, we will invoice for travel time at half-rate of the
resource’s Standard Rate.
Sometimes, we have a resource who works across categories of skills. For example, we may
have a videographer who operates a drone. When that person is doing the category of
skill, that skill rate will apply. In this example, a videographer flying a drone is billed at the
drone operator rate.
Other Fees
Because Tripepi Smith offers a broad set of services, including extensive content
production, we have some other content production-related fees that may come up during
the course of our engagement that you should be aware of.
City of Baldwin Park/SB 1383 Education and Outreach
17
Website Fee
The City can use a page or pages on its own website for this project or it can contract with
Tripepi Smith to build a project specific website (custom domain name/URL, similar visuals
to City website, total directly control by Tripepi Smith). We do this work on a flat fee basis
of $3,750 per site with an annual hosting fee of $610 which includes hosting, SSL
Certificate and a single domain name annual fee. If the City prefers to use its own website,
our work on that site will be handled on a time and materials basis. Content for the website
in two languages is addressed as part of other engagement options.
Equipment Fees
Tripepi Smith offers some services that require equipment, such as drone operations and
video production. As such, in those cases, the following rates apply:
● $750 for a full day of video equipment use (includes full set of video equipment). Full day is
defined as a shoot lasting more than four hours.
● $450 for a half day of video equipment use. Half day is defined as anything up to four
hours of video production. All such expenses will be authorized by the organization prior to
fee being assessed.
● $500/day drone fee applies and is not inclusive of the drone operator time (drone operator
rate).
Larger production projects may require additional fees for extensive equipment needs,
multiple cameras, live switchboards and more. These fees will be discussed prior to being
incurred with the City.
Printing Fees
Tripepi Smith is happy to use a printer of the client’s choosing for print production work, or
to recommend a printer with whom we have experience. Tripepi Smith typically has the
printer bill the client directly for work. Tripepi Smith makes no money on print services and
has no economic interest in the selected print vendor other than ensuring quality and fair
pricing for our clients. If Tripepi Smith is asked to pay the bill for the client, we will apply a
10% agency fee to the reimbursement expense.
Media Placement
Purchase fees for advertising media space is not included on Tripepi Smith advertising
proposals. Usually, clients contract directly with media, but in the event Tripepi Smith
covers these fees, then we will charge an additional 10% agency fee on all advertising
charges to compensate for the administrative overhead. (Labor time associated with
researching media placement will be charged on a time & materials basis.)
City of Baldwin Park/SB 1383 Education and Outreach
18
Digital Advertising Fees
Tripepi Smith is a Google Partner and Constant Contact Solution Provider and has
Facebook Certified staff. We consider digital platforms to be a cornerstone element of any
outreach strategy; often this comes with digital advertising fees. Tripepi Smith typically
uses a client’s credit card to cover such fees, and those fees are impossible to estimate at
this time without our firm being engaged in the work with the team. If a Tripepi Smith
credit card is used to run the advertising campaign, then we will charge an additional 10%
agency fee on all advertising charges to compensate for the administrative overhead.
2. Approach Two – Simple Engagement
This approach uses a fixed scope and fee approach to bring more certainty to the cost of
the outreach for the City. Work that evolves beyond the defined scope is addressed on
either an incremental noted fee basis or through time and material work. Such incremental
work would be clearly noted and authorized by the City in writing prior to proceeding.
The project duration is for 12 months.
The Simple Engagement includes the following:
• Project management for education and outreach
• Updates to webpage content
• Bimonthly social media content in English and Spanish and 1 social media ad (boosted
post)
• Quarterly content for e-newsletter/newsletter

This approach also uses a fixed scope and fee approach to bring more certainty to the cost
of the outreach for the City, and it includes expanded outreach to include a dedicated
website, workshop, an animated video and more. Work that evolves beyond the defined
scope is addressed on either an incremental noted fee basis or through time & materials
work. Such incremental work would be clearly noted and authorized by the City in writing
prior to proceeding.

Assurance Testing, and Training and Launch.
We have done this process dozens of times,
and the results have been successful. LCF
included a requirement in their RFP for an
opensource solution for the website, as they
wanted to avoid proprietary lock-in. This result
was achieved with the Tripepi Smith-developed
website, which also included important features
like ADA compliance, proper embedding of
third-party city tools, website security, pop-up
alerts and a dead simple content management
system that various staff feel comfortable
editing. The process took about eight months
to complete. www.cityoflcf.org

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. _________7________
TO: Honorable Mayor/ Chair and Members of the City Council for the
City of Baldwin Park
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
Rose Tam, Director of Finance
DATE: July 20, 2022
SUBJECT: FY22-23 Fiscal Budget Amendment Review
SUMMARY
From the June 15, 2022 City Council meeting, staff was directed to look into other available funding
sources for the City department personnel requests in order to address necessary City services to the
community as a whole. This report is to seek City Council’s approval for the requests as listed in the
attachments.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Review the appropriate funding to cover costs for proposed requests and make necessary
budget adjustments after consideration; and
2. Authorize the CEO and HR to meet and confer with the labor union(s) and bring back the
item to the City Council at the next regularly scheduled meeting for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT
If all the requests are approved, the total estimated FY 22-23 fiscal impact to all funds is $843,616. The
total estimated fiscal impact to the General Fund is $63,855. The estimated impact to the Special
Revenue and Other funds will be $779,761 including $270,000 from the ARPA funds. ARPA funds will
be allocated in the amount of $270,000 each fiscal year for FY22-23 and FY 23-24.
The revised FY 22-23 budget with be updated and brought back to the City Council in the next meeting
after obtaining final direction.
BACKGROUND
During the June 15, 2022 City Council meeting, staff presented the personnel requests to the City
Council for consideration. Staff was directed to look into other funding sources including eligibility of
using the ARPA funds to provide support to the personnel requests from all City departments including
part-time salary adjustment. After reviewing funding sources, staff recommended allocating $270,000
from ARPA funds each year for FY 22-23 and FY 23-24 to rehire part time staff from the Recreation
department due to restarting many Community programs and events.
Staff was directed to adjust the part-time minimum hourly rate to $16.82 per hour. The estimated cost
for the part-time salary adjustment to the General Fund is $114,747 and Special Revenue and Other
funds is $14,460. After further evaluation, staff also recommends adjusting the salaries for the
Administrative Clerk I and Administrative Clerk II positions to commensurate part-time salary
adjustments. The total estimated cost for the adjustment for the full-time positions is $13,261 to the
General Fund and $15,645 to Special Revenue and Other funds.
This report also includes the Part-Time Department Assistant request during FY 21-22 that was
intended to be included in the FY 22-23 department position budget and recently hired. This position is
requested to assist in answering incoming phone calls to the Community Development and the Public
Works department. The City has been receiving an increase in the volume of phone calls which has
prevented staff from completing other competing priorities. The estimated cost is $18,207 to the Special
Revenue funds. This position will be reporting to the Public Works department.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may provide further direction on the requests.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content.

limits in the hands of the voters. In the event the measure is not approved, the Council-adopted
Ordinance would remain in effect, unless repealed by the City Council at a future date.

SUMMARY
At their April 6, 2022, City Council meeting, the Council heard an initial staff report on the merits of a
potential sales tax ballot measure for 0.75% for the November 2022 general election. The staff report
presented several recommended steps for the city to move in direction toward determining the viability
and community interest for the proposed ballot measure.
Specifically, the adopted recommendations included:
1. Authorize staff to proceed with a public engagement process to present and discuss the merits
of a potential sales tax ballot measure for 0.75% for the November 2022 general election, to city
residents, community groups, neighborhood associations, stakeholder associations, the
business community, school district, special districts, and other organizations: and
2. Direct the Chief Executive Officer to complete and present the results of the public poll currently
being conducted; and
3. Instruct the City Attorney, the Chief Deputy City Clerk, and the CEO to draft language for the
ballot for future Council consideration, timely for the November 2022 election timeline: and
4. Instruct the Director of Finance and the CEO to update and present revenue estimates utilizing
the most recent sales tax data available; and
5. Direct the CEO to develop and present to the City Council for approval the formation of an
advisory committee made up members of the community and two members of the City Council.
Upon direction of the City Council, Baldwin Park staff began the process of implementing the
recommendations. This report summarizes the efforts of staff and provides a framework for which the
Council may use to determine next steps.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-038 entitled, “A Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Baldwin Park, California, Ordering the Submission of the Qualified Electors
of the City of a Certain Measure Relating to the institution a local ¾ cent transaction and use (sales)

Disclaimer: the cost estimate may be subject to change.
BACKGROUND
Public Engagement and Stakeholder Advisory Committee
At the June 1, 2022 Council meeting, Council approved, Resolution No. 2022-026, Affirming the
Creation an Ad Hoc Committee and Confirming the Selection of its Officers to the Stakeholders
Advisory Committee (SAC).
In order to promote the public engagement process as directed by council, City staff created and
distributed flyers to residents and neighbors, created bus bench shelter ads, posted on the City’s digital
billboard and shared on social media. The City also provided bi-lingual meeting notifications,
informational pamphlets and a print version of the PowerPoint presentation. Additionally, if there were
Spanish speakers in attendance, Mayor Pro Tem Damian provided the presentation in Spanish.
During the month of June, the SAC, chaired by Mayor Pro Tem Daniel Damian with the guidance of
CEO Enrique Zaldivar and City staff, conducted a series of meetings at Baldwin Park Schools, the
Baldwin Park Arts and Recreation Center, the Julia McNeill Senior Center and a virtual meeting hosted
on Zoom. (Complete listing of meetings, see attachment). The SAC also attended a meeting and tour
of the Pico Rivera sports complex and senior center. The City of Pico Rivera, has been receiving
funding from their own local Measure P sales tax to fund parks, library construction and infrastructure
improvements since 2008.
During the course of the community engagement meetings, SAC members and the City’s consultant
presented educational information about the potential sales tax measure, discussed current tax trends,
shared polling data and provided general information on a potential timeline. Residents were afforded
an opportunity to ask questions, while City staff, who attended each meeting, provided feedback.
The community engagement process provided a framework for City staff to gather feedback from
residents. Issues that resonated highly amongst the participants include (1) ensuring funds from the
proposed measure are kept and spent locally; (2) improving public safety response times; (2)
maintaining clean parks and open space; (3) addressing crime related to homelessness; (4) ensuring
there is transparency with the measure; (5) youth and senior programming and opportunities.
The proposed sales tax measure of 0.75% would generate an estimated $6.2M annually entirely for
and under City local control. The City currently receives sales tax revenue of 1% ($8.2M) annually as
a result of the Bradley Burns Act of 1983. Whereby the State dedicated this portion of the sales tax to
local cities.
Polling Conducted by True North Research
In late April, True North Research conducted a 16 minute poll in English and Spanish, of 422 randomly
selected registered voters in the City of Baldwin Park. For this survey, the margin of effort is ± 4.7%.
The highlights of the draft survey results are as follows:
• With only the information provided in the ballot language, 70% of likely November 2022 voters
surveyed indicated that they would support the proposed 3/4 cent sales tax, whereas 24% stated
that they would oppose the measure and 6% were unsure or unwilling to share their vote choice.
• Voters prioritized using funding from the measure to clean up trash and litter that people dump
along streets, sidewalks, and in public areas (91% strongly or somewhat favor), reduce crime
(90%), maintain streets and fix potholes (89%), keep public parks, buildings, and facilities safe
and clean (89%), and provide quick responses to 911 emergencies (89%).
• More than two-thirds (68%) of Baldwin Park voters surveyed indicated that they were generally
satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide municipal services. Approximately 24% reported that
they were dissatisfied with the City’s overall performance, and 7% were unsure or unwilling to
state their opinion.
• When asked what changes the City could make to improve the quality of life in Baldwin Park,
one-in-five respondents could not think of a desired change (14%) or reported that no changes
are needed (6%). Among specific changes that were desired, addressing homeless issues was
the most common (15%), followed by beautifying the city/landscaping/removing graffiti (9%),
improving public safety (8%), providing more police patrols (8%), and reducing traffic congestion
(7%).
Related steps that staff will undertake upon approval of the resolution by Council:
1. Submit request for placement to the LA County Registrar for the November 8, 2022 General
Election; and
2. Submit request to the Secretary of State for the title of the ballot measure to be called Measure
BP; and
3. Jointly with the Stakeholders Advisory Committee, staff will continue with an educational and
information program throughout the city and via multiple means and media.

those of the Sales and Use Tax Law of the State of California insofar as those provisions are
not inconsistent with the requirements and limitations contained in Part 1.6 of Division 2 of
the Revenue and Taxation Code.
C. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that imposes a tax and provides a measure
therefore that can be administered and collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration in a manner that adapts itself as fully as practicable to, and requires the least
possible deviation from, the existing statutory and administrative procedures followed by the
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in administering and collecting the
California State Sales and Use Taxes.
D. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that can be administered in a manner that
will be, to the greatest degree possible, consistent with the provisions of Part 1.6 of Division 2
of the Revenue and Taxation Code, minimize the cost of collecting the transactions and use
taxes, and at the same time, minimize the burden of record keeping upon persons subject to

Administration to perform all functions incident to the administration and operation of this

of-state destination or to a common carrier for delivery to an out-of-state destination. The gross
receipts from such sales shall include delivery charges, when such charges are subject to the state
sales and use tax, regardless of the place to which delivery is made. In the event a retailer has no

35.136 - Limitations on Adoption of State Law and Collection of Use Taxes.
In adopting the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code:

any agency, officer, or employee thereof rather than by or against the California
Department of Tax and Fee Administration, in performing the functions incident to the
administration or operation of this Ordinance.
3. In those sections, including, but not necessarily limited to sections referring to the exterior
boundaries of the State of California, where the result of the substitution would be to:

tangible personal property which would not be subject to tax by the state under the

preceding calendar year or the current calendar year, has total combined sales of tangible
personal property in this state or for delivery in the State by the retailer and all persons
related to the retailer that exceeds five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). For purposes
of this section, a person is related to another person if both persons are related to each other
pursuant to Section 267(b) of Title 26 of the United States Code and the regulations
thereunder.
35-137 - Permit not Required.
