7. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
7.1 CITYWIDE BUS SHELTER REPLACEMENT PROGRAM.
PWM/Ghafari presented the staff report.
M/Lyons opened Public Comments.
Larry Black expressed his passion for small business by stating his strong
support of shelters with advertising panels, an affordable method and tool
for advertisement.
Josie Taylor said as a small business person, the money she and others
have made from advertising on the shelters has benefited the community
and local organizations, and asked the Council to consider the benefit to
local families that would result from installing shelters with advertising.
John Yacoub, local business owner, joined with other speakers in asking
the Council to seriously consider the advertising bus shelters which helps
small businesses succeed and keep more dollars in Diamond Bar.
Mary Harmon, past president, Tri-Counties Association of Realtors, said
that 50 percent of the 3,000 members work in Diamond Bar and asked the
Council to consider how, with the low inventory of housing, the bus shelter
advertising is imperative for small business.
CC/Santana stated that an email from Larry M. Black was forwarded to the
City Council.
M/Lyons closed Public Comments.
C/Liu wanted to know the shelf-life of the clear coat print and PWD/Liu
responded from two to three years, depending on conditions. The clear
coat option would require more attention and regular maintenance.
M/Lyons asked about staff’s recommendation and PWD/Liu stated that
aesthetically, the print option is more desirable and from a maintenance
perspective, the custom metal pattern, which has existed in Diamond Bar
for almost 30 years, would offer a longer life and ease of maintenance.
C/Chou moved, C/Tye seconded to approve design concept for replacing
existing original bus shelters with shelters with advertising panels. Motion

RESTATING CHAPTER 8.16 (SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLABLE
MATERIAL COLLECTION) OF TITLE 8 (HEALTH AND SAFETY) OF THE
DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE, IMPLEMENTING SB 1383 ORGANIC
RECYCLING REGULATIONS.
SMA/Lopez presented the staff report.
M/Lyons opened Public Comments.
Paul Deibel, speaking telephonically, said he supported this proposal
because methane emissions from landfills are a significant contributor to
greenhouse gas accumulations and global warming, and while this
involves additional effort by homeowners, businesses and agencies within
the community, it is a significant step forward.
CC/Santana stated that no emails were received on this item.
M/Lyons closed Public Comments.
At the request of M/Lyons, SMA/Lopez explained how food recovery
services work.
MPT/Low asked who pays for the capacity studies and ultimate service
and SMA/Lopez explained that many of the Tier 1 and 2 businesses have
programs in place for which they pay and the City has eligible funds under
AB 939 for additional plans that may be introduced under the law.
CA/DeBerry explained that the solid waste companies would be required
to enact and implement the program with fines coming from the City for
non-compliance.
6.1.a
Packet Pg. 16
NOVEMBER 16, 2021 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
C/Liu asked about public education and whether there is a penalty for
delaying implementation and SMA/Lopez said that with a target date for
rollout of July 1st of 2022 it would provide about six months for public
education and, as long as the City is seen to be taking joint effort steps to
implement a program, there is no penalty for a delay in implementation.
SMA/Lopez explained that staff will be contacting restaurants to determine
their storage capacity capabilities based on volume.
CA/DeBerry explained that the City would be fining the Tier 1 and 2
businesses that are not implementing the program and there could be
potential penalties against the contractor which fall outside of the
ordinance.

first reading by title only, waive full reading of Ordinance No. 04 (2021),
and schedule for second reading and adoption at the next regularly

Meeting Date: December 7, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED USE OF TELECONFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ASSEMBLY BILL 361 FOR MEETINGS OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY
COUNCIL AND OTHER CITY COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
SUBJECT TO STATE OPEN MEETING LAWS.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2021-54, providing for continued use of teleconferencing and
other formats as defined and in compliance with Assembly Bill 361 for meetings of the
Diamond Bar City Council, City Commissions and Subcommittees.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Legislature
passed AB 361, which authorizes a local agency to use teleconferencing without
complying with certain teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when:
(1) the legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of
emergency; (2) when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended
measures to promote social distancing; and/or (3) when a local agency has determined
that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of
attendees.
The City Council first utilized the provisions of AB 361 on November 16, 2021. In order
to continue to have the ability to use the modified teleconferencing options, AB 361
requires that the City Council re-affirm its findings every 30 days. Conditions under
which AB 361 may be utilized continue to exist as described in the attached Resolution
(Attachment 1).
6.4
Packet Pg. 55
The City Council is currently going beyond what the Brown Act requires by holding
meetings in person and by way of teleconference and allowing the public to participate
in both forums. The provisions of AB 361 allowing the modified teleconferencing will
expire January 1, 2024.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.

USE OF TELECONFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY
BILL 361 FOR MEETINGS OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY COUNCIL AND
OTHER CITY COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES SUBJECT TO STATE
OPEN MEETING LAWS.
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, California Governor Newsom declared a State of
Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, on March 12, 2020, to address the impacts of COVID-19, Governor
Newsom issued Executive Orders that required, among other things, residents of
California to follow orders and guidance of local public health officials, including social
distancing and masking requirements; and
WHEREAS, existing California law, the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires,
with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as
those terms are defined, be open and public, that a physical location for such meetings
be provided, and that the public be permitted to provide public comment during the
meetings; and
WHEREAS, the Brown Act permits members of legislative bodies to
teleconference into public meetings subject to certain conditions, including that the place
from which the member teleconferences be open to the public, that an agenda be posted
on the site, and that the teleconference location be noticed in the agenda; and
WHEREAS, in recognition that such public gatherings at such meetings could
accelerate the spread of COVID-19, Governor Newsom’s Executive Orders suspended,
among others, these Brown Act teleconferencing requirements to provide local agencies
with greater flexibility to hold meetings via teleconferencing safely; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Emergency Services Act (Government Code sections
8550 et seq.), and Chapter 8.00 of Title 8 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code, the City
Council of the City of Diamond Bar has proclaimed the continued existence of a local
emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, as of September 30, 2021, the Governor’s Executive Order
suspending the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements expired; and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361,
which authorizes a local agency to continue to use teleconferencing without complying
with certain teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when: (1) the
legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency;
(2) when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to

promote social distancing; and/or (3) when a local agency has determined that meeting
in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; and
WHEREAS, both Los Angeles County and state health officials continue to
recommend social distancing due community spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, The Diamond Bar City Council first utilized the provisions authorized
by AB 361 on November 16, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the Diamond Bar City Council must approve a Resolution reaffirming
that the requirements set forth in Assembly Bill 361 exist every 30 days in order to allow
members of its legislative bodies to utilize the provisions of Assembly Bill 361 when

TITLE: SETTING OF HEARING DATE TO CONSIDER APPEALS OF
BUILDING OFFICIAL'S NOTICE AND ORDER TO VACATE THE
VILLAGE AT DIAMOND BAR CONDOMINIUM COMPLEX, AND
APPOINTMENT OF HEARING EXAMINER TO CONDUCT
HEARING(S).
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Set December 21, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. in the Windmill Community Room at City Hall as
the date, time and location to hear appeals of the Building Official's Notice and Order to
repair substandard building conditions at The Village at Diamond Bar condominium
complex.
PURPOSE:
This matter has been placed on the City Council agenda solely for the purpose of
setting a hearing date for the matter described in this report. The City Council
previously appointed John C. Van Doren to serve as an independent hearing officer to
hear the appeals pertaining to the matter. To ensure the fairness and integrity of the
hearing on the appeals, the City Council should not hear or discuss the merits of the
appeals while discussing this agenda item in that Section 1201.3 of the 1997 Uniform
Housing Code requires that appellants be notified by mail or personal service at least
ten (10) days prior to a scheduled appeal hearing, which notice has not been provided
since this is not the appeal hearing.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The hearing officer’s time spent on the matter, together with reasonable and necessary
costs and expenses, are estimated to not exceed $10,000, paid from the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:

Packet Pg. 60
The Village at Diamond Bar (“DBV”) is a 150-unit condominium complex located at
23601 through 23665 Golden Springs Drive. The complex is developed with eleven
two-story residential buildings and a one-story clubhouse.
On September 30, 2021, the Building Official of the City issued an Order to Vacate all
residential units and the clubhouse in the complex. This Order to Vacate was based on
the City’s visual inspection of the property and reports and recommendations of the
structural engineering firm hired by the Diamond Bar Village Homeowners’ Association,
Khatri International.
The City subsequently received two new structural engineer reports, one from Cannon
Corporation, a firm hired by the City, and one from Englekirk Structural Engineers, a
firm hired by the law firm of Tressler LLP. In reports dated November 3, 2021, and
November 4, 2021, respectively, both the Englekirk and Cannon Reports concluded that
while there are substantial deferred maintenance issues throughout the DBV property
that should be addressed, the condition of the property does not create a widespread
and immediate danger to the life or safety of all occupants of the individual units of the
property. Both the Englekirk and Cannon Reports opined that the City’s September 30,
2021, Order to Vacate should be rescinded and that an order limiting access to certain
specified areas should be issued instead.
On November 4, 2021, after evaluating these reports and based on the professional
opinions and recommendations of the structural engineers from Englekirk and Cannon,
the Building Official rescinded the September 30, 2021 Order. The Building Official
simultaneously issued a new Notice and Order requiring the DBV HOA to submit to the
City, by December 31, 2021, a plan to repair the substandard conditions at the complex.
The Building Official concurrently red-tagged seven balconies, also based on the
findings and recommendations of Englekirk and Cannon. A copy of the November
Notice and Order is included as Attachment 1.
Pursuant to Section 1201.3 of the 1997 Uniform Housing Code (UHC), property owners
and other persons having legal interest (e.g., tenants) in the DBV condominium complex
had the right to appeal the November Notice within ten days of the Building Official’s
decision. A total of five (5) appeals were filed with the City Clerk by the November 14,
2021 filing deadline, with the first appeal submitted on November 11, 2021, all of which
to contest the December 31, 2021 deadline to submit a repair plan to the City. UHC
Section 1201.3 further requires appeals to be heard no more than 60 days from the date
an appeal is filed (i.e., by January 10, 2022).
Section 15.00.120(15) of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code designates the City Council
as the Board of Appeals in matters involving decisions of the Building Official. Pursuant
to UHC Section 1301.1, the City Council previously appointed John C. Van Doren to
serve as a hearing examiner to conduct appeal hearings. The hearing officer’s report
would come to the City Council in the form of a recommendation. The City Council
would have the discretion to accept or reject the hearing officer’s recommendations.
DISCUSSION:

Family day care home. A facility that regularly provides care, protection, and
supervision of 14 or fewer minor children, in the provider’s home, for periods of
less than 24 hours per day, while the parents or guardians are away. These
facilities are required to be licensed by the California State Department of Social
Services. Children under the age of ten years who reside in the home count as
children served by the day care facility. A family day care home includes a
detached single-family dwelling, a townhouse, or a dwelling unit within a covered

California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct
or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3)
(the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) because it has no potential for
resulting in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and because the
proposed Development Code Amendments pertain to the regulation of activities that are
themselves statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to California Health and Safety Code
Section 1597.45(d) that provides that a small or large family day care home shall not be
