At the conclusion of the interviews, the City Council will make appointments to fill the vacant seats on each of the Commissions.

Recommendation: Conduct interviews and make the following appointments: 1. Civil Service Commission: Appoint three individuals to fill three seats expiring on May 31, 2025;one of the three open seats is currently vacant.

City Council Regular April 22, 2025 2. Parks and Recreation Commission: Appoint three individuals to fill three seats expiring on May 31, 2025. The terms for the appointed Commissioners will run from June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2029. 3. Planning Commission: Appoint three individuals to fill three seats expiring on May 31, 2025. The terms for the appointed Commissioners will run from June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2029 b. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 13.04.130 OF THE SIGNAL HILL MUNICIPAL CODE Summary: The City of Signal Hill currently provides water service and collects related service fees as permitted by California law. While the City’s Municipal Code authorizes rates to be adopted by resolution, the current Water Service and Rate structure is set in Title 13 Public Utilities of the Signal Hill Municipal Code, therefore, changes must be adopted by ordinance. Because adopting an ordinance takes much more time than adopting a resolution, this creates a significant delay between adoption of service fees and inclusion of those fees in the Municipal Code. Legislative changes effective January 1, 2017, allow public agencies to adopt new or increased water service fees by resolution under Health and Safety Code Section 5471. The proposed Ordinance would confirm the City can update water rates by resolution, while eliminating the requirement of adding water rates to the Municipal Code. This action will eliminate the need for adoption of an ordinance in addition to the required resolution, thereby streamlining water rate setting in compliance with applicable law. If approved by the City Council, the proposed Ordinance would be introduced this evening and return for the required Second Reading on May 13, 2025. Amended Sections 13.04.130(A) and 13.04.130(C) would become effective June 12, 2025. Strategic Plan Goal(s): Goal No. 1 Financial Stability: Ensure the City’s long-term financial stability and resilience. Goal No. 4 Infrastructure: Maintain and improve the City’s physical infrastructure, water system, and recreational spaces. Goal No. 5 High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services. Page 4 of 9

City Council Regular April 22, 2025 Recommendation: Adopt the following Ordinance, entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 13.04.130(A) AND 13.04.130(C) OF THE SIGNAL HILL MUNICIPAL CODE TO AUTHORIZE FUTURE RATES FOR WATER SERVICE FEES TO BE SET BY RESOLUTION, AND FINDING SAID ACTION EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. c. ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL AND LORI HEFLER FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1975 EAST 21ST STREET AND 2107 CHERRY AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL TRANSACTIONAL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE AGREEMENT; AND APPROPRIATE $1,475,000 FROM THE LAND AND BUILDING RESERVE FUNDS Summary: The City Council will consider approving the purchase of property adjacent to Signal Hill Park, consistent with the Civic Center Master Plan. In 2024, the Dickerson Company listed the properties located at 1975 East 21St Street, APN 7215-013-012, and 2107 Cherry Avenue, APN 7215-012-002, for sale on behalf of the owner Lori J. Helfer. The property owner listed the combined properties for $1,550,000, which consists of approximately 7,800 square feet adjacent to Signal Hill Park. Consistent with the City’s long-term plan for acquiring housing units on the block of 21st Street adjacent to Signal Hill Park, the City has been negotiating with the owner to purchase the properties. BBK prepared a draft purchase and sale agreement (“Agreement”) for the City Council’s review. This action is consistent with the Civic Center Master Plan, which outlines a vision for expanded public open space. Strategic Plan Goal(s): Goal No. 3 Economic Development: Improve the local economy, support local businesses, and create a vibrant downtown core. Goal No. 4 Infrastructure: Maintain and Improve the City’s physical infrastructure, waste system, and recreational spaces. Recommendation: 1. Adopt a resolution, entitled: Page 5 of 9

Find that approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is not subject to the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“State CEQA Guidelines”) because it has no potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the environment. This action is also exempt under Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement for Purchase and Sale and Joint Escrow Instructions, and all related instruments, for the City’s acquisition of 1965/75 East 21st Street and 2107 Cherry Avenue in the City of Signal Hill. 4.
