TITLE: HERITAGE PARK AND COMMUNITY CENTER RENOVATION PROJECT
DESIGN CONCEPTS, CIP# FP24502
In a study session on July 9, 2019, the City Council reviewed the design concept for the
City’s Heritage Park and Community Center renovation and provided direction to staff.
The design options were prepared based on the feedback received from the community
at the time. On October 1, 2019, staff came back with a new option (Option 5), which
incorporated the directions received from the City Council on the options presented in
July 2019. Option 5 divided the renovation of the park and community center into three
phases. Phase 1 focused on the community center building and the parking lot. Phase 2
generally covered the tot lot, picnic area, and basketball court. Phase 3 was the
baseball field area. Option 5 concept as approved by the City Council is provided in
Attachment 1.
On October 3, 2023, the City Council approved a consulting services agreement with
Black O'Dowd and Associates, Inc. (Consultant) to design the Heritage Park and
Community Center Renovation Project Phases 1 and 2 (CIP# FP24502). The design
work for these phases has since commenced and undergone several iterations with the
staff. Phases 1 and 2 are focused on the community center building and the park area.
As part of Phase 3 of the overall project, the ball field area is excluded from the current
design effort and will be considered at a later time.
Different options have been developed for the floor plan of the community center
building, the park layout, and the façade/shade structure at the building entrances. A
brief description of each option is provided below. The design options and themes are
provided in Attachment 2. City Council feedback is requested at this time to identify
preferred options and themes to be able to move forward in the final design process.

Packet Pg. 8
Community Center Building
Option A
This option focuses on making less significant improvements to the existing floor
plan of the facility while including other targeted enhancements such as updated
plumbing and electrical systems, an upgraded audio-visual system, and
reconstructed restrooms. This option would add approximately 1,200 sq.ft. to the
building footprint, resulting in a total built area, inclusive of the community building
and the outdoor restrooms, about 27% larger than the existing facility. The
proposed front and rear shade structures are not included in the footprint calculation.
In this option, the main changes to the floor plan include:
• Addition of a new entrance space.
• Addition of new kitchen storage and a janitor room for storing janitorial supplies,
tools, etc.
• Addition of a new indoor restroom on the northeast side of the building to replace
the existing one.
• Conversion of the existing indoor restroom into storage space.
• Removal of the existing detached outdoor restroom building and its replacement
with a new attached outdoor restroom building.
• Enlargement of the existing activity room by removing the existing toddler
restroom and adding a new one next to the new attached outdoor restroom on
the southwest side of the building.
Option B
This option represents a significant improvement to the facility beyond what was
covered in Option A above. The enhancements presented in this option will elevate
the facility to a level that can provide significantly greater value to the community.
With this option, approximately 2,400 sq .ft. will be added to the building footprint,
resulting in a 55% increase in size, excluding the proposed shade structures.
In this option, the main changes to the floor plan include:
• Addition of a new entrance space.
• Conversion and expansion of the existing kitchen into storage space.
• Addition of a new kitchen, along with a separate kitchen storage area.
• Addition of a new second office (in addition to the existing office) that can be
used for activities, one-on-one meetings with parents, and other administrative
purposes.
• Inclusion of a new janitor room for storing janitorial supplies, tools, etc.
• Addition of a new indoor restroom on the northeast side of the building to replace
the existing one.
• Conversion of the existing indoor restroom into storage space.
• Removal of the existing detached outdoor restroom building and its replacement
with a new attached outdoor restroom building.
1
Packet Pg. 9
• Expansion of the existing activity room by removing the existing toddler restroom
and adding a new one next to the new attached outdoor restroom on the
southwest side of the building.
Shade Structure (Front and Rear)
Option A
This option provides new shade structures to highlight and formalize the front
entrance, and to the rear of the building creating a more usable and comfortable
patio area, inspired by the overall design of the existing building. This option would
add about 1,000 sq.ft. of shaded area to the front of the building and between 2,150
sq.ft. to 2,300 sq.ft. of the same to the rear of the building, depending on the building
floor plan Option selected.
Option B
Similar to Option A, this option provides shade structures in the entrance area (front)
and the rear of the building, although inspired by the City's windmill design.
Similarly, this option would add about 1,000 sq.ft. of shaded area to the front of the
building and between 2,150 sq.ft. to 2,300 sq.ft. of the same to the rear of the
building, depending on the building floor plan Option selected.
Park (ballfield excluded)
Both options provide similar amenities but with different layout designs. Both involve
replacing the existing basketball court and adding other improvements, such as
enhanced landscaping and an upgraded playground area. Additionally, both options
include extensive necessary ADA and drainage improvements.
Playground
Two age-appropriate play areas are proposed (2-5 years old and 5-12 years old). Two
general themes for the playground area have been proposed , Western Farm and
Western Town, with imagery intent for each included in the attachment. Upon selection
of a design theme, playground amenities and equipment can be development as part of
the next stage of design.
Probable Cost Estimate
The following probable cost estimates for each option provided above are preliminary. It
is important to note that these estimates are expected to change as the design work
progresses and again after the project goes through the construction bidding process.
Nonetheless, these preliminary numbers do provide valuable data for comparing the
options.

CONCEPT PLAN OPTION 'A'PLAYGROUND CONCEPT #1DESIGN NARRATIVEThe first concept for heritage park plays directly into thearchitectural theme and the City's historic windmill. Thewindmill stands as the City's remaining historic monumentand this design highlights its significance. Playgroundusers could enter the 5-12 playground from a woodboardwalk which could ramp into the play equipment. Theplayground is intended to have playground wood chips forthe entire play experience.The playground would also feature a secondary CattleRanch theme which lends itself to wagon wheel, watertank, and even historic tractor themes. The playgroundcould also feature an overhead entry sign with theplayground horse hitches, horse shoes, ranch style shadecanopies, and an interactive touch panel to enhance theuser's experience. These interactive touch panels couldfeature ranch atmospheric sounds, such as a cattle bell.Perimeter play features could also include horse corralthemes, fun playhouses, and wood themed stepperelements.

CITY CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY TO PROHIBIT AND REGULATE
MARIJUANA /CANNABIS BUSINESSES AND CULTIVATION IN
COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AS LAST AMENDED BY SB 1186 .
WHEREAS, in 1996 California voters approved Proposition 215, commonly
referred to as the Compassionate Use Act ("CUA"), which enabled seriously ill patients
to legally possess, use and cultivate marijuana for medicinal purposes under state
law; and
WHEREAS, in 2004, SB 420, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, was enacted by
the state legislature to clarify the scope of the CUA and to allow local jurisdictions to adopt
and enforce rules and regulations consistent with the CUA; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, AB 266, AB 243, and SB 643, the Medical Marijuana
Regulation and Safety Act (“MMRSA”), was adopted by the state legislature to establish
regulations for commercial medical marijuana activity in the state; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, SB 837, the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act was
adopted by the state legislature and changed “marijuana” references in the MMRSA to
“cannabis” among other things; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of
Marijuana Act ("AUMA") decriminalized, under state law, specified nonmedicinal cultivation
and use of marijuana; and
WHEREAS, under the AUMA the City is permitted to prohibit and regulate specified
aspects of nonmedicinal cultivation and use of marijuana; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 8.26 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code prohibits, among
other things, the establishment of marijuana dispensaries anywhere in the City; and
WHEREAS, SB 1186 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2022), known as the Medicinal
Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act (“Act”), prohibits local jurisdictions, beginning
January 1, 2024, from adopting or enforcing any regulation that prohibits, or has the effect
of prohibiting, the retail sale by delivery within the jurisdiction of medicinal marijuana to
medicinal marijuana patients or their primary caregivers by licensed medicinal marijuana
businesses in a timely and readily accessible manner, and in types and quantities that are
sufficient to meet demand from medicinal marijuana patients within the local jurisdiction;
and
WHEREAS, the Act permits local jurisdictions to adopt and enforce reasonable
regulations on retail sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana; and
5.3.a
Packet Pg. 54
Ordinance No. 01 (2024)
2
WHEREAS, the Act does not limit or otherwise affect the ability of a local jurisdiction
to adopt and enforce any regulations on commercial marijuana operations other than retail
sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana in the local jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there are presently more than 12 licensed
medicinal marijuana retailers located within a 17 mile radius of the City of Diamond Bar
from which retail sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana in the City is or may be available;
therefore, prohibiting the establishment of physical premises within the City from which
retail sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana is conducted will not have the effect of
prohibiting the retail sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana to medicinal marijuana patients
or their primary caregivers in a timely and readily accessible manner in types and quantities
that are sufficient to meet demand from medicinal marijuana patients who reside in the
City.

TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR AMENDING CHAPTER 8.26 OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE
IN ITS ENTIRETY TO PROHIBIT AND REGULATE
MARIJUANA/CANNABIS BUSINESSES AND CULTIVATION IN
COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AS LAST AMENDED BY SB 1186.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Find that the adoption of the ordinance is exempt from CEQA; and
B. Approve for first reading by title only, waive full reading of Ordinance No. 01 (2024);
and schedule the second reading and adoption at the next regularly scheduled City
Council meeting on February 20, 2024.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Diamond Bar City Code Chapter 8.26 prohibits marijuana dispensaries (both medical
and recreational) Citywide. Specifically, Section 8.26.050 states that a “marijuana
dispensary shall be a prohibited use in any zoning district of the city, even if located
within an otherwise permitted use, and neither the city council nor city staff shall
approve any use, interpretation, permit, license, certificate of occupancy, zoning code or
general plan amendment allowing the operation and/or establishment of a marijuana
dispensary.”
On September 18, 2022, the Governor signed into law SB 1186 (Wiener), known as the
Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act (Attachment 3), which went into effect
on January 1, 2024. The Act prohibits local jurisdictions from adopting or enforcing any
7.1
Packet Pg. 54
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 63
regulation that directly or indirectly prohibits the retail sale of medicinal cannabis by
delivery to patients or caregivers within the City, but allows local jurisdictions to adopt
and enforce reasonable regulations, including where delivery businesses may be
located. The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) prohibits the establishment of
marijuana delivery businesses Citywide based on the finding that there are already such
businesses outside of the City that can readily serve clientele that reside in Diamond
Bar.
ANALYSIS:
With the enactment of SB 1186, any non -storefront commercial retailer (of medicinal
cannabis from which delivery can be conducted) may apply for a business license in
any zoning district at a physical location within the City, unless the City can make a
finding that there are sufficient businesses in surrounding areas from which patients or
their primary caregivers can order their medicine. Upon researching surrounding areas,
it was found that there are presently more than 12 licensed medicinal marijuana
retailers located within a 17-mile radius of the City from which retail sale of medicinal
marijuana by delivery is available. Therefore, prohibiting physical premises of these
establishments within the City would not affect timely access for patients who reside
here.
The City Council is being presented with an ordinance that would expand the current
prohibition of marijuana businesses, including physical locations of non -storefront
commercial retailers from which delivery of medicinal cannabis can be conducted. As
required by state law, the ordinance will allow the retail sale by delivery of medicinal
marijuana to qualified patients or primary caregivers by medicinal marijuana businesses
from fixed locations outside the City subject to compliance with state law regulations.
It is recommended that the Council approve the ordinance for first reading. Because
permanent ordinances do not become effective until 30 days after a second reading, a
parallel, 45-day urgency ordinance has been placed on this agenda which would go into
effect immediately to ensure the protection of public health, safety and welfare during
the required waiting period for the regular ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has determined that the proposed code amendment is not subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in that it will not cause either a direct
physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment, in that there are no marijuana dispensaries currently
existing or permitted under the City's current municipal code and it maintains the
existing environment in the City. This Ordinance is not a project under CEQA pursuant
to Public Resources Code Section 21065 which provides that CEQA only applies to an
activity which has the potential to cause either a direct physical change in the
environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
Further, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA under the following provisions of Title 14
of the California Code of Regulations: Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and
15061(b)(3), as the Ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA only applies to
projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and
7.1

it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a
significant effect on the environment and Section 15304, as the Ordinance is a minor
alteration in land use limitations.

COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AS LAST AMENDED BY SB 1186 .
WHEREAS, in 1996 California voters approved Proposition 215, commonly
referred to as the Compassionate Use Act ("CUA"), which enabled seriously ill patients
to legally possess, use and cultivate marijuana for medicinal purposes under state
law; and
WHEREAS, in 2004, SB 420, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, was enacted by
the state legislature to clarify the scope of the CUA and to allow local jurisdictions to adopt
and enforce rules and regulations consistent with the CUA; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, AB 266, AB 243, and SB 643, the Medical Marijuana
Regulation and Safety Act (“MMRSA”), was adopted by the state legislature to establish
regulations for commercial medical marijuana activity in the state; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, SB 837, the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act was
adopted by the state legislature and changed “marijuana” references in the MMRSA to
“cannabis” among other things; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of
Marijuana Act ("AUMA") decriminalized, under state law, specified nonmedicinal cultivation
and use of marijuana; and
WHEREAS, under the AUMA the City is permitted to prohibit and regulate specified
aspects of nonmedicinal cultivation and use of marijuana; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 8.26 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code prohibits, among
other things, the establishment of marijuana dispensaries anywhere in the City; and
WHEREAS, SB 1186 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2022), known as the Medicinal

January 1, 2024, from adopting or enforcing any regulation that prohibits, or has the effect
of prohibiting, the retail sale by delivery within the jurisdiction of medicinal marijuana to
medicinal marijuana patients or their primary caregivers by licensed medicinal marijuana
businesses in a timely and readily accessible manner, and in types and quantities that are
sufficient to meet demand from medicinal marijuana patients within the local jurisdiction ;

WHEREAS, the Act does not limit or otherwise affect the ability of a local jurisdiction
to adopt and enforce any regulations on commercial marijuana operations other than retail
sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana in the local jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there are presently more than 12 licensed
medicinal marijuana retailers located within a 17 mile radius of the City of Diamond Bar
from which retail sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana in the City is or may be available;
therefore, prohibiting the establishment of physical premises within the City from which
retail sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana is conducted will not have the effect of
prohibiting the retail sale by delivery of medicinal marijuana to medicinal marijuana patients
or their primary caregivers in a timely and readily accessible manner in types and quantities
that are sufficient to meet demand from medicinal marijuana patients who reside in the
City.

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB1186 1/6
Senate Bill No. 1186
CHAPTER 395
An act to amend Section 26200 of, and to add Chapter 26 (commencing with Section 26320) to Division
10 of, the Business and Professions Code, relating to cannabis.
[ Approved by Governor September 18, 2022. Filed with Secretary of State September 18, 2022. ]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1186, Wiener. Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act.
Existing law, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, an initiative measure enacted by Proposition 215 at the
November 6, 1996, statewide general election, declares that its purpose is, among other things, to ensure that
seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes, as specified, and
exempts from state criminal liability certain patients and their primary caregivers who possess or cultivate
marijuana for the personal medical purposes of the patient. Existing law, known as the Medical Marijuana Program,
establishes a voluntary registration program for qualified medicinal cannabis patients and their primary caregivers
through a statewide identification card system maintained by the State Department of Public Health and sets forth
guidelines for the possession of medicinal cannabis.
The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult-Use of Marijuana Act of 2016 (AUMA), an initiative measure approved as
Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, established a comprehensive system to
legalize, control, and regulate the cultivation, processing, manufacture, distribution, testing, and sale of
nonmedical marijuana. AUMA reserved to a local jurisdiction specified powers regarding commercial adult-use
cannabis activity, including adopting and enforcing local ordinances regulating commercial adult-use cannabis
activity. Existing law, the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), among other
things, consolidates the licensure and regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities,
including the retail sale of medicinal cannabis.
This bill would enact the Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act, which, on and after January 1, 2024,
would prohibit a local jurisdiction from adopting or enforcing any regulation that prohibits the retail sale by delivery
within the local jurisdiction of medicinal cannabis to medicinal cannabis patients or their primary caregivers by
medicinal cannabis businesses, as defined, or that has the effect of prohibiting the retail sale by delivery within the
local jurisdiction of medicinal cannabis to medicinal cannabis patients or their primary caregivers in a timely and
readily accessible manner and in types and quantities that are sufficient to meet demand from medicinal cannabis
patients within the local jurisdiction, as specified. The bill, on and after January 1, 2024, would provide that the act
may be enforced by an action for writ of mandate brought by a medicinal cannabis patient or their primary
caregiver, a medicinal cannabis business, the Attorney General, or any other party otherwise authorized by law.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 26200 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by
AB 2210 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2210 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
To the extent this bill would impose additional duties on local jurisdictions, the bill would impose a state-mandated
local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs
mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated
by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

(3) The department may require the event and all participants to cease operations without delay if in the opinion

authorizes the participant to sell cannabis or cannabis products. If the unlicensed participant does not leave the
event, the department may require the event and all participants to cease operations immediately.
(4) The order by the department for the event to cease operations pursuant to paragraph (3) does not entitle the
event organizer or any participant in the event to a hearing or an appeal of the decision. Chapter 3 (commencing
with Section 490) of Division 1.5 and Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 26040) of this division shall not apply

Meeting Date: February 20, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: LETTER OF OBJECTION AND APPLICATION TO PURCHASE TAX-
DEFAULTED PROPERTY.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign and submit a Letter of Objection and
Application to Purchase Tax-Defaulted Property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Beyond the $274 application filing fee, there is no immediate financial impact associated
with this action. However, it is the first step in the process of acquiring the property at
the County’s listed tax-defaulted auction price of $36,252 plus processing fees. Upon
acquisition, the City would be responsible for ongoing maintenance costs.
BACKGROUND:
Since the early 1960s, Diamond Bar PONY/Little League (“PONY”) has operated a
volunteer-driven non-profit youth baseball league for local participants. In 1969,
following years of games at local park and school sites, the organization established
Stevens Field located at 22601 Sunset Crossing Road (APN 8718-005-005) in Diamond
Bar (“PONY property”), where it has been based since. The PONY property is
approximately 10.23 acres and features four unlighted baseball fields, batting cages,
seating areas, and a number of outbuildings. The site is located directly across the
street from the Diamond Bar/Walnut YMCA facility and immediately adjacent to a City -
owned undeveloped park site (APN 8718-005-007 and APN 8718-005-008). The deed
of the property restricts the property to be used for the benefit of the people of the
community of Diamond Bar and further provides that if PONY ceases to exist or function
for the purposes it was created, then the property shall be transferred to the City since it
owns the adjacent parcel.

Packet Pg. 83
On an annual basis at the end of January, the Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax
Collector posts a list of properties that are tax defaulted and subject to the Tax
Collector’s power to sell. This list is first provided to public agencies for review to
determine if any are suitable for public purposes, including parks, open space, and
recreational uses. If a public agency identifies a property that could suit such a purpose,
it may acquire the property via a Chapter 8 Agreement Sale.
Upon review of the list of tax-defaulted properties for 2024, it was found that the PONY
property was subject to public sale with a minimum bid of $36,252 due to unpaid
property taxes dating to 2018.
ANALYSIS:
At its peak, PONY served an estimated 1,600 participants across all age levels. As local
preferences and demographics have changed, participation levels have decreased
significantly. In 2024 data submitted to the City by PONY, total participation was 110 for
the spring season. The decline in participation and associated decline in revenues
makes it difficult for PONY to maintain the property adequately and pay off the
tax/assessment liability by the April 20, 2024 deadline.
With PONY’s financial options limited, the Chapter 8 Agreement Sale process provides
the City with a vehicle to acquire a large parcel of land in a parkless neighborhood at a
cost-effective price. It mitigates the risk of the property falling into private hands and
offers an opportunity to maintain and expand public park and recreational us e for youth
and adult sports programs in a manner that is consistent with the Parks Master Plan.
Further, the location offers a unique opportunity to leverage the City’s adjacent
undeveloped park site with the 10.23-acre PONY property to create what could
ultimately be the City’s second-largest public park.
Should the City’s objection and application be accepted and the purchase become
complete, a significant investment will be required to design, construct, and maintain a
facility that meets the community’s standards for City-owned and operated parks and
facilities and federal Americans with Disabilities (ADA) access guidelines. This process
will undoubtedly take time. In the interim, the Council must determine its tolerance for
liability and its willingness to make investments in maintenance improvements to
provide safe access to the public.
To initiate a Chapter 8 Agreement Sale to acquire the PONY property, the City must
complete the following by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 23, 2024:
1. Submit a formal written objection to the public auction sale (Attachment 1)
2. Complete an Application to Purchase Tax-Defaulted Property from the County
(Attachment 2).
3. Meet all County pre-qualification requirements (Attachment 3).
LEGAL REVIEW:
City Attorney has reviewed and approved the letter of objection and application to
purchase tax-defaulted property.

County of Los Angeles Treasurer and Tax Collector
225 North Hill Street, Room 130
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Subject: Objection to Online Auction of Property at 22601 Sunset Crossing Road, Diamond Bar
CA 91765-0015
Dear County of Los Angeles Treasurer and Tax Collector,
The City of Diamond Bar formally objects to the online auction of the property located at
22601 Sunset Crossing Road, Diamond Bar CA 91765-0015 (APN 8718-005-005). We understand
that this property is scheduled for auction and wish to express our strong opposition to
proceeding with the sale of the property.
The property in question, which has been used as recreational space by a youth baseball
program since 1969, holds significant value for public purposes. The City is the sole owner of
an adjacent 2.83 acre parcel purchased with the intent to construct a public park, and the
acquisition of the property at 22601 Sunset Crossing Road offers the City the unique
opportunity to create a much larger public park/recreational facility in a neighborhood that
has been historically underserved when it comes to park space.
In addition, the 1982 deed of the property to the Diamond Bar Little League, Inc., recorded as
Document No. 82-1238134 in the office of the Los Angeles County Recorder on December 13,
1982, restricts the subject property to be used for the benefit of the people of the community
of Diamond Bar and further provides that if Diamond Bar Little League or successor in interest
ceases to exist or function for the purposes it was created, then the property shall be
transferred to the YMCA, or the City of Diamond Bar if the YMCA does not own the adjacent
Parcel 2. The City of Diamond Bar now owns the adjacent Parcel 2. This is a restriction of
record that would not be cleared in the tax deed to a private party pursuant to Revenue
and Taxation Code § 3712(d), which will cause the tax deed title to have a cloud that
substantially decreased the value of the property.
The City of Diamond Bar’s intention in objecting to the sale of the property at auction is to
preserve its interest as beneficiary of the recorded deed restriction and acquire the property
through a Chapter 8 Agreement Sale to develop a public park/recreational facility with
access to athletic fields for local youth and adult non-profit organizations. We believe that
the property's integration into the City's infrastructure and planning will contribute positively to
community’s Strategic Plan and Parks Master Plan, which aim to enhance the quality of life
for our residents.

(Golden Springs Drive from Grand Avenue to Avenida Rancheros, Grand Avenue
from Diamond Bar Blvd. to City East Limits, collector streets within the Gateway
Corporate Center) Project, the Grand Avenue Median Drainage Improvement
Project, and the Cold Spring Lane Ground Water Drainage Improvement Project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Project will commence advertising upon approval of the design and plans. The
most recent Engineer’s Estimate for the project cost is $8.66 million. Adequate funds
are available in the FY 2023/24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for the
construction of the residential (CIP# SI24101) and arterial (CIP# SI24103) pavement
rehabilitation projects and for the Grand Avenue Median Drainage Improvement Project
5.6
Packet Pg. 94
(PW23402). For the Cold Spring Lane Groundwater Drainage Improvements Project,
Measure W Funds will be requested/appropriated at the time of the award of the
construction contract.
BACKGROUND:
On February 21, 2023, the City Council approved a Consulting Services Agreement with
Nichols Consulting Engineers, Inc. (NCE) to design the Residential & Collector Streets
Rehabilitation and Arterial Street Rehabs, including the design of the American with
Disabilities Act (ADA) Curb Ramp Improvement Projects for Areas 3, 4, and 5. The
Arterial Streets Rehabilitation encompasses various roads, including Golden Springs
Drive, Grand Avenue, Diamond Bar Blvd., Chino Hills Pkwy, Lemon Avenue, and other
ADA Curb Ramp Projects.
On November 7, 2023, the City Council approved an amendment to the Professional
Services Agreement with Tait & Associates, Inc. (Tait), which, among other tasks,
included the design services for the Cold Spring Lane groundwater drainage
improvements to be added to the Area 3 Residential Streets Pavement Rehabilitation
Project. As part of the Area 3 pavement design work, it became evident that this
groundwater issue, identified as Phase 6 of the Citywide groundwater mitigation efforts,
needs to be addressed prior to moving forward with the pavement improvements. The
design work on this groundwater issue has been completed and is incorporated into the
Project specifications.
At the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard, it has been observed
that stormnwater ponds along the median nose during rain events. The City’s on -call
civil engineering firm, HR Green, prepared and completed the drainage improvement
plans for this intersection to eliminate the ponding water by modifying the pavement
grades to allow for positive drainage towards the gutters. Instead of constructing these
minor improvements separately, it was determined to be more cost-effective to include
and bundle this work as part of the arterial street pavement rehabilitation project.
ANALYSIS:
The City’s Area 3 is located to the south of Pathfinder Road, spanning both the western
and eastern sides of Diamond Bar Boulevard and the SR 57 freeway. The Project
encompasses approximately 17 center miles of residential and collector streets,
necessitating treatments such as slurry seal, chip seal, and asphaltic concrete (AC)
overlay. Additionally, it involves addressing isolated areas of damaged AC pavement as
determined by field assessments. Furthermore, the Project includes aprroximately 6
centerline miles of various segments along major arterials, notably Golden Springs
Drive from Grand Avenue to Avenida Rancheros, Grand Avenue from Diamond Bar
Boulevard to the easterly City limits, and collector streets within the Gateway Corporate
Center. Please refer to Attachment 2 for the Vicinity Map.
By consolidating/bundling the two drainage work with the Area 3 pavement project into
a single bidding document, the City should receive favorable bid proposals from a
number of qualified contractors. As listed below, three (3) consultants have completed
the preparation of the respective Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E). A full set
5.6
Packet Pg. 95
of the Plans and Specifications is available electronically through the City Clerk’s Office.

Meeting Date: February 20, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-05 amending the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Municipal Budget
revenue estimates and appropriations; and,
B. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-06 amending the City’s Fiscal Year 2023/24
Compensation Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Mid-Year budget review proposes a total increase in
estimated resources of $795,340 and a total increase in appropriations of $592,230 for
all funds (see table below). The impact for the General Fund is an estimated addition of
$431,610 to the General Fund’s fund balance.
Proposed revisions to resources and appropriations, including estimated fund balances
at the end of the current FY 2023/24 are included in the attached Exhibit A (Attachment
2), and are discussed throughout the report as summarized below:

BACKGROUND:
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-16 on June 6, 2023 approving the
FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget. The City Council has since approved additional
appropriations as they have occurred throughout the year, as well as carry -over
requests from FY 2022/23. It is City policy for staff and the City Council to periodically
review the annual budget and make any additional adjustments as deemed necessary.
Staff has conducted the mid-year review of the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget, evaluated
current revenue and expenditure trends, and confirmed the status of capital
improvement projects. Based on this review, a Resolution amending the FY 2023/24
Adopted Budget is proposed for City Council consideration.
ANALYSIS:
The City’s current Revised General Fund Budget for FY 2023/24 estimates anticipated
resources to be $30,614,475. It is recommended that these resource estimates be
increased by $759,340 to $31,373,815. The current Revised General Fund Budget for
FY 2023/24 includes appropriations totaling $36,775,318 (Adopted Budget plus City
Council amendments and carryovers). It is recommended that this budget be increased
by $327,730 to $37,103,048. As a result of these actions, the General Fund’s fund
balance reserves will increase by $431,610. If approved, these recommended changes
in estimated resources and uses are expected to leave the General Fund with an
unassigned fund balance of $18,643,982 and a 25% contingency reserve balance of
$7,981,243 at the end of the fiscal year, which reflects a decrease of $5.73 million in
unassigned fund balance from the prior year ending June 30, 2023. As mentioned in
previous reports to the City Council, the utilization of unassigned fund balance in the
amount of $5.73 million will fund the transfer-out of 80% of the prior year’s surplus to
reserve accounts dedicated to facilities and parks, as well as appropriations for new FY

General Fund Revenues:
In preparation for the mid-year budget review, staff examined the City’s revenue
sources to ensure valid revenue estimates based on current trends and activities. The
below table includes a summary of proposed changes to the General Fund revenue
estimates. Included within the revised estimates is an increase in sales tax revenues
consistent with current trends, an increase in Diamond Bar Center rental revenues due
to increased rental activity, and an increase in cost reimbursement revenue for the cost
to prepare the City’s Housing Element. All other revenue sources are currently trend ing
as anticipated in the Adopted Budget.

Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund (SB 2) to offset the City’s costs to
prepare the Sixth Cycle Housing Element. In September 2023, the City
submitted an invoice to HCD for reimbursement of the actual costs

Departmental Reorganizations – The City Council Strategic Plan prioritizes the
development of a high-performing organization with a positive, value -based culture that
attracts and retains talent. The Employer of Choice and Human Capital Investment
Programs were developed to meet these City Council goals, leading to extensive
organizational analysis of long-term departmental structural needs, employee
development opportunities, and necessary succession planning efforts, all in an effort to
provide the most positive and effective local government customer service experience
possible.
To develop the most appropriate departmental succession planning structures,
recognize increased responsibilities, and to invest in retaining high-performing
employees, it is recommended that following positions be reclassified as indicated
below.

The total FY 2023/24 cost to implement these nine (9) reclassifications is approximately
$15,000 for the General Fund and $3,000 for various special funds. Due to current
salary savings, the FY 2023/24 Budget is adequate to fund the cost of implementing
these reclassifications. It is anticipated that the General Fund cost for next FY 2024/25
for all nine reclassifications will be less than $38,000, with the remaining balance of
$9,000 paid for out special funds. The proposed changes to the FY 2023/24
Compensation Plan are included in the attached Exhibit A (Attachment 4).
Other Governmental Funds and Internal Service Funds:
The following table summarizes the proposed changes in revenue and expenditures for
various other Governmental Funds and Internal Service Funds. In addition to the below
requests, staff anticipates the imminent need to replace essential IT equipment that is
now at end-of-life, including the security access control system for Diamond Bar Center
and City Hall, security cameras at City Hall, and (2) multi-function printers. The
aforementioned procurement requests, along with any necessary appropriations, will be
brought separately to the City Council upon conclusion of their respective bidding
processes.

Agenda #: 7.2
Meeting Date: February 20, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: ADDITIONAL CITY COUNCIL RECOGNITION OPTIONS.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide direction as deemed appropriate.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
At the February 6, 2024 meeting, Mayor Liu proposed that the City Council consider
recognizing community members and organizations that positively contribute to the City
at Council meetings on a more regular basis. Based on consensus of the Council, this
item has been placed on the agenda for further consideration and discussion.
By way of background, the City Council has established a formal Recognition Policy
dating back to 1990, and was last updated in 2019. A copy of City Council Policy 2019 -
02 is included in Attached 1 for reference. The Recognition Policy actively seeks to
recognize noteworthy contributions and achievements of individuals and organizations
that benefit the community. The Recognition Policy sets standards and criteria for such
recognition including applicability, and the types of recognition whether by Certificate,
Certificate Plaque, Proclamation, City tile or other forms of special recog nition. Policy
Section 3.1.3 indicates that: “Recognition may be only issued to individuals,
organizations or businesses that have a clear nexus to Diamond Bar.”
Requests for City Council recognition can be made on -line by members of the public
and are approved at the discretion of the Mayor (Policy Section 3.1.1) provided they are
consistent with the Policy. In some instances, requests come directly through individual
Council Members and are coordinated with the Mayor for approval.
7.2
Packet Pg. 120
Over the past two years (2022 & 2023), a total of 508 Certificates, 46 Certificate
Plaques, and 24 Proclamations have been issued. Many of the Certificates were
presented at functions or events other than City Council meetings. However, the
following is a list of those individuals or groups recognized at a Council meeting:
• Through My Lense Photo Contest Winners (2022 & 2023)
• Diamond Bar Girls Softball 10U All-Stars (2023)
• Diamond Bar Girls Softball 8U All-Stars (2023)
• Western States Champions Diamond Bar AYSO 14U Girls Team (2023)
• VEX IQ Robotics World Championship (2023)
• American Association of University of Women Speech Trex Contest Winners
(2023)
• Commemorating 70 years of service to the Greater Los Angeles Couty Vector
Control District (2022)
• Armando Macias for reaching 100 Years of Age (2022)
The City has also established other recognition programs which include:
• Outstanding Volunteer Award Program - The Outstanding Volunteer Award
Program recognizes the volunteer efforts of those individuals, groups,
organizations and businesses that help improve the lives of community
members. Nominations for this award are solicited from the community at large.
Award recipients are recognized at the City’s Birthday celebration, or the Winter
SnowFest in alternate years. The nomination period is currently open through
March 18, 2024 and can be made on the City’s website, with awards to be
presented at the City’s 35th Birthday Celebration on April 6, 2024.
• Veterans Recognition - As part of the Annual Veterans Celebration in November
each year, the City recognizes and pays tribute to our local veterans, including
special recognition and video highlights featuring several local veterans.
DISCUSSION:
The following options are offered to help frame the discussion and possible Council
direction:
• Continue to work within Recognition Policy 2019-02. Each Council Member can
request the Mayor to approve Certificates, Certificate Plaques, and
Proclamations consistent with such Policy, and for such recognition to be
presented at a Council Meeting. Council Members are encouraged to coordinate
such recognition with staff for scheduling at an upcoming meeting which can be
balanced throughout the year.
• Provide direction to develop additional opportunities for recognition as deemed
appropriate.

Dear City Council Members,
I am hoping you are all having a good day as you read this email. My name is Adam Angulo, and I have been a dedicated
member of the Diamond Bar community for many years, serving as a part‐time employee for the city since 2005. Initially
hired as a Park Maintenance Helper, I have since transitioned to the role of Facility Attendant, primarily stationed at the
Diamond Bar Center.
Throughout my tenure with the city, I have witnessed firsthand the invaluable contributions made by part‐time staff
members like myself to the smooth functioning and vibrant spirit of our community. Despite our dedication and hard
work, it has become increasingly challenging to make ends meet with the current level of compensation.
I am writing to urge the City Council to consider making a case for an increase in pay for all part‐time staff members
across the city of Diamond Bar. As the cost of living continues to rise, it is crucial that our wages reflect the value of our
services and the commitment we have shown to our roles over the years.
Not only would an increase in pay help alleviate financial strains for part‐time staff members, but it would also serve as a
recognition of our efforts and dedication to serving the residents of Diamond Bar. Furthermore, it would contribute to
boosting morale and retaining experienced individuals within the city workforce.
In my role at the Diamond Bar Center, I have had the privilege of interacting with members of our community on a daily
basis. I have seen firsthand the positive impact that our facilities and programs have on the lives of residents. By
investing in the well‐being of part‐time staff members, we are ultimately investing in the overall vitality and prosperity
of Diamond Bar.
I understand that budget considerations are always a factor in such decisions, but I believe that by prioritizing the fair
compensation of part‐time staff, the City Council can demonstrate its commitment to equity and valuing the
contributions of all employees.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal. I am hopeful that together we can work towards a solution that
ensures a brighter and more sustainable future for all members of the Diamond Bar community.
Sincerely,
Adam Angulo
Facility Attendant
