SUMMARY The City Council and Housing Authority Board are requested to consider the approval of the Consultant Service Agreement between the City of Baldwin Park, the Baldwin Park Housing Authority and MDG Associates, INC. FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to general funds at this time. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends City Council and Housing Authority Board approve the Consultant Service Agreement between the City of Baldwin Park, the Baldwin Park Housing Authority and MDG Associates, INC for the development of: 1) FY 2015-2019 CDBG/HOME Five Year Consolidated Plan and FY 2015-2016 Annual Plan, 2) FY 2015-2019 Analysis of Impediment to Fair Housing Study and 3) FY 2019-2019 Public Housing Five Year Agency Plan and FY 2015-2016 Annual Plan. LEGAL REVIEW The City Attorney has reviewed, revised and approved to form the attached contract. BACKGROUND On May 21, 2014, the City Council and Housing Board approved staff to solicit Request for Proposals (RFD's) from private firms to develop the subject plans in compliance with the HUD regulations. Pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) all state and local governments receiving Federal funds are required to prepare a five-year strategy designed to address the needs of extremely low, low and moderate-income households within the community as well as the completion of an Annual Action Plan to be submitted 45 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Both Plans act as an application for grant funding for CDBG and HOME funds received by the City and Capital Funds received by the Housing Authority. Also required by HUD is the development of a five-year "Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice" (AI) document outlining the efforts being made by cities to affirmatively further fair housing citywide. The current Five Year Plans expire on June 30, 2015. The FY 2015-2019 Public Housing Plan (PHA Plan) is due to HUD on April 17, 2015 and the FY 2015-2019 CDBG/HOME Consolidated. Plan (Con Plan) and the FY 2015-2019 Al is due to HUD on May 15, 2015. Upon review of the submitted proposals based on the overall experience and staffing resources of all agencies, staff feels that MDG Associates, INC is best qualified to perform the task required under this contract. Although The Ramsey Group submitted the lowest bid, it lacks in meeting the needs of the City, specifically the on-site hours needed for technical assistance making the proposal non-responsive. Therefore staff recommends entering into an agreement with MDG ASSOCIATES, INC, not to exceed $38,000. The proposals received are as follows: The Ramsey Group $30,225 MDG Associates, INC $38,000 GRC $69,400 ALTERNATIVES If City Council does not approve the agreement, the City would be at risk of noncompliance with HUD regulations. The City does not have the technical resources or adequate staffing and tools necessary to properly prepare all reports in accordance with federal, state and local laws, ordinances, codes and regulations.

STAFF REPORT o� wi,` TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers a, HUB OF - '� u E FROM: Daniel Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Enginee SAIEL DATE: September 3, 2014 �co Y' °� /f SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED INCREASES IN SOLID WASTE FEES SUMMARY In order to change fees for solid waste services, compliance with Proposition 218 is necessary. Holding a Public Hearing is an essential element of Proposition 218 compliance. This item contemplates establishing mandatory recycling fees for commercial and industrial customers and multifamily residential properties with five or more units, and an annual rate increase for all customers based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). FISCAL IMPACT It is not possible to estimate the impact that mandatory recycling will have on revenues, as a consumer's monthly cost will be dependent on the level of recycling by that consumer. Revenue increases for the annual rate increase based on CPI will mirror the change in CPI. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council: 1. Hold a public hearing and consider all public testimony and protests regarding the proposed increases in solid waste fees; and 2. Adopt Resolution No. 2014 -031 "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park, California, Establishing Fees for Solid Waste Services ". BACKGROUND There are two proposed changes to fees that will be considered by the City Council. The first of the proposed changes in fees impacts commercial and industrial customers and multifamily residential properties with five (5) or more units.AB341 mandates that commercial and industrial customers and multifamily residential properties with five or more units recycle, and requires that City's establish programs to ensure recycling. To effectively address the requirements of A13341, promote recycling and establish a cost effective method for commercial /industrial and multifamily participation, a blended rate structure (modeled after the City's current single family residential rate structure) with standard service including recycling is being proposed. While there is a nominal increase in rates to include mandatory recycling; commercial /industrial and multifamily customers can reduce their trash bill by recycling more, and decreasing the size or frequency of their solid waste service. The proposed rates incentivize all business and multifamily customers to recycle and ensure that the City meets the requirements of AB 341. Section 5.44.4 (c) and Section 5.6.4 (c) of the current Solid Waste Franchise Agreement provide for all commercial /industrial and multifamily accounts receiving permanent bin solid waste service with recyclable material collection at a frequency of up to two (2) times per week at no additional charge. Additional recyclable material collections beyond two (2) times per week will be provided, where required to meet the needs of the customer at rates set forth in the rete sheets. Customers currently subscribing to recycling services will see a reduction in their bill. Public Hearing Proposed Increase in Solid Waste Fees September 3, 2014 Page 2 The second proposed change to fees is an annual rate increase equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Garbage and Trash Collection, US City Average published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This proposed annual adjustment to all rates, fees and charges will take effect on July 1 of each year beginning in 2015. This proposed annual adjustment will be no more than 5% in any one fiscal year. Any percentage increase which exceeds the annual 5% cap will be carried forward to the next year and added to future rate increase. Section 8.2 of the current Solid Waste Franchise Agreement requires these annual adjustments in rates. A senior citizens discount will continue to be ouereu to certain single iin-fly accounts where the n o caU f household is sixty (60) years or older. In order to increase fees for solid waste services compliance with Proposition 218 is necessary. A Notice of Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Changes to Solid Waste Fees to be held September 3, 2014 (Attachment A), was mailed. The law requires that the notice be sent to all parties that may be affected by the proposed fee. At the public hearing, the City Council is required to consider all protests against the proposed fee. However, the City Council is bound only by those written protests submitted by a majority of the total number of affected persons, which would be 6,277 protests. A summary of written protests received at the time this report was wri Len is attached (Attachment B). Each written protest was answered with a letter fro��� the Director of Public Works. A comparison of residential and commercial and industrial solid water rates for area cities is included in Attachment C. LEGAL REVIEW This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content. ALTERNATIVES Concerning mandatory recycling - the implementation of a mandatory commercial and multifamily recycling program is required by state law, and so there is no alternative. Concerning the annual CPI rate increases - If after exercising its powers reasonably and in good faith, the City Council chooses to not implement the rate increases contained in the Franchise agreement and requested by the Franchisee, the Franchisee has 60 days after disapproval of the rate increase to request that the City negotiate reductions in programs, services or fees to compensate the Franchisee for the negative and material impact that the disapproval has on the Franchisees business operations.
