Meeting Date: October 15, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED REVIEW OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FRJ & ASSOCIATES
FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY'S HOME IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve, and authorize the City Manager to sign, the First Amendment to the
Consulting Services Agreement with FRJ & Associates to administer the Home
Improvement Program and Condominium Home Improvement Program through June
30, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are included in the FY 24/25 budget in the Community Development
Block Grant Fund (Fund 225) and the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Fund (Fund
224). The total not-to-exceed amount per fiscal year set forth in the proposed First
Amendment would increase by $130,000 from $120,000 to $250,000. Payments to the
Consultant are limited annually to no more than 20% of the approved CDBG and PLHA
allocations for the Home Improvement Program and Condominium Home Improvement
Program which includes a cumulative amount of $1,250,000.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council continued this item from the October 1, 2024 meeting, requesting
additional information as to how the not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 in the proposed
First Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement was determined. The
discussion below is provided as a supplement to the attached October 1, 2024 staff
report (Attachment 2).
DISCUSSION:
5.3
Packet Pg. 33
Diamond Bar CDBG Program
The Community Develop Block Grant (CDBG) program is a federal funding source
administered through the Department Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Eligible
CDBG projects and programs must accomplish one of the following national objectives:
• Benefiting low- and moderate-income persons, disabled persons, and seniors;
• Addressing slums or blight; or
• Meeting a particular urgent community development need.
The Home Improvement Program (HIP) is one of the programs that the City’s CDBG
allocation has traditionally funded. The HIP offers deferred loans to eligible low - and
moderate-income homeowners of single-family detached housing for necessary home
improvements, as well as repairs to mitigate building and safety code deficiencies
and/or violations. The City’s HIP policies provide interest-free, deferred loans of up to
$30,000 to eligible households. Loans become payable when the homes are sold or
refinanced. HUD regulations limit HIP loans to owner/occupants of detached single -
family homes; owner/occupants of duplexes, condominiums, co-ops or any other
housing type are not eligible for CDBG-funded home improvement loans.
Under federal law, up to 20 percent of CDBG funds to may be used to cover
administrative costs. The City’s contracts with its CDBG consultants limit their billings to
this cap so that General Fund monies are not used to cover consultant costs.
Diamond Bar PLHA Program
The Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program was enacted by the State
Legislature in 2017 to address the affordable housing crisis in California. Unlike CDBG
funds, PLHA dollars can be used to fund home improvement loans for a variety of
housing types, not just single-family detached residences. As a result, the City was
able to establish the Condominium Home Improvement Program (CHIP) in 2023 to offer
interest-free, deferred loans of up to $20,000 to eligible condominium households, as
well as draw from an additional funding source for the long -established HIP. In August
of this year, the City received authorization to begin using PLHA proceeds to fund home
improvement loans.
Current Consultant Services Agreement with FRJ & Associates
The current five-year Consultant Services Agreement with FRJ & Associates, approved
by the City Council on September 1, 2021, authorizes the Consultant to vet CDBG -
funded HIP loan applications, and then process the loan paperwork after the City
approves the loans. The not-to exceed amount established in the agreement was set at
$120,000, based on the assumption that approximately $600,000 CDBG funds would be
allocated to the HIP during life of the agreement, of which 20 percent may be used to
cover administrative costs. The agreement expires on June 30, 2025.
Proposed Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement with FRJ & Associates
5.3
Packet Pg. 34
Before the City can begin using PLHA funds to pay for associated consultant costs, the
City must first amend the Consultant Services Agreement with FRJ & Associates to
expressly authorize the use of PLHA funds to pay the Consultant. Diamond Bar has
been allocated approximately $650,000 in PLHA funds through calendar year 2025, all
of which may be used to implement the CHIP and expanded HIP. As with the CDBG
program, no more than 20 percent of the PLHA funds may be used to cover
administrative costs, which, in this case, would be $130,000.
The not-to-exceed sum of payments to the Consultant for the processing of CDBG and
PLHA-funded home improvement loans would thus be $250,000. The table below
summarizes how the CDBG and PLHA allocations would be distributed between
HIP/CHIP loans and associated not-to-exceed administration costs payable to the
consultant if the First Amendment to the five-year Consultant Services Agreement is
approved, and all available funding is exhausted during the term of the agreement:

Meeting Date: October 1, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH FRJ & ASSOCIATES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
CITY'S HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve, and Authorize the City Manager to sign, the First Amendment to the
Consulting Services Agreement with FRJ & Associates to administer the Home
Improvement Program and Condominium Home Improvement Program through June
30, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are included in the FY 24/25 budget in the Permanent Local Housing
Allocation Fund (Fund 224). The total not-to-exceed amount per fiscal year set forth in
the proposed First Amendment would increase by $130,000 from $120,000 to
$250,000. Payments to the Consultant are limited annually to no more than 20% of the
approved CDBG and PLHA allocations for the Home Improvement Program and
Condominium Home Improvement Program.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
HIP and CHIP Programs
The City’s Home Improvement Program (HIP) was established in 2003 as a CDBG -
funded program providing interest-free, deferred loans to eligible homeowners for the
maintenance of safe, decent and sanitary housing. HIP funds are used to correct
hazardous structural conditions; to make reasonable accommodations for persons with
disabilities; to improve the overall exterior appearance of the home; to eliminate an
appearance of blight; to provide energy -efficient upgrades; and to correct exterior code
violations. Because of restrictions on the use of CDBG funds, the City’s HIP Program
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 39
may only be used to assist owner/occupants of single-family detached residences.
The Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds were enacted by the State
Legislature through SB 2 in 2017, designed to provide an ongoing annual source of
funding for the construction of affordable housing, programs to assist persons who are
experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, or other housing -related assistance
programs for low-to-moderate income households. Diamond Bar has been allocated a
combined total of $649,080 for PLHA Program Years 1 through 3 (i.e., calendar years
2023 through 2025).
As a housing-focused, State-funded program, PLHA proceeds can be used for a wider
range of housing programs than those backed by federal CDBG funds. Moreover,
because housing costs in California are among the highest in the nation, households
earning up to 150% of the Los Angeles County Area Median Income (AMI) are eligible
for assistance under PLHA-funded programs, whereas CDBG funds are limited to
households earning no more than 80% of AMI. Thus, on June 20, 2023, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-25, approving the City’s participation in the PLHA
Program by establishing the Condominium Home Improvement Program (CHIP),
offering zero-interest, deferred loans of up to $20,000 to eligible owner-occupied
condominium households, and increasing the maximum HIP loan amount from $20,000
to $30,000.
The administration of the HIP and CHIP is subject to the terms of the City’s cooperative
agreements with the Los Angeles County Community Development Authority (LACDA).
Through these agreements, CDBG and PLHA funds are first allocated to LACDA, which
then assigns funding amounts to participating cities according to an allocation formula.
Although more than a year has passed since the City Council adopted the resolution to
participate in the PLHA Program, LACDA did not execute the Reimbursable Contracts
for the expanded HIP and newly-established CHIP until August 6, 2024. The delay was
due to issues out of the City’s control, and affected LACDA’s other participant agencies
as well.
FRJ & Associates
On September 1, 2021, the City entered into a five -year Consulting Services Agreement
with FRJ & Associates to administer the HIP. Partners Vivian and Bill Moss have
consistently administered program in an exemplary manner. Their thorough knowledge
of LACDA’s rules and regulations, combined with meticulous documentation of
expenditures and services rendered has played a major role in Diamond Bar’s
continued good standing with LACDA. Moreover, Vivian and Bill Moss have been more
proactive than their predecessors in assisting applicants navigate the loan approval
process, and moving projects through the funding and construction pipeline.
Following its execution of the City’s PLHA contracts this past August, LACDA notified
the City that it must amend its Consulting Services agreement with FRJ & Associates to
expressly authorize the consultant to process PLHA -funded loans. LACDA further
required the City to post a 30-day notice of the proposed Consulting Services
Agreement prior to placing the matter on the City Council agenda.
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 40
The City’s current agreement with FRJ & Associates is in effect through June 30, 2025.
Although there are some differences in how CDBG and PLHA-eligible expenses are
documented, the HIP and CHIP loan approval processes are essentially the same , so it
is logical to simply amend the current agreement with FRJ to authorize the consultant to
process home improvement loans using either of the two funding sources .

STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve, and authorize the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to file the Notice of
Completion.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Project is included in the FY 2023/24 Capital Improvement Program. On
May 7, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Rite-Way Roof
Corporation in an amount not to exceed $584,000, with a contingency amount of
$87,600, for a total authorization amount of $671,600. The final construction cost of the
Project is $584,000 which is $87,600 under the total authorization amount.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Public Works staff authorized the Notice to Proceed for the construction on June 12,
2024. The work included the tear-off of the existing roof system and the installation of a
new single-ply roofing system over the Civic Center/City Hall building.
Rite-Way Roof Corporation completed all work required for this Project, including all
punch list items, on October 7, 2024.

AGREEMENT.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adoption of Fifth Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient City funds to cover the one-time $5,000 additional contribution.
BACKGROUND:
Daniel Fox was hired as City Manager effective July 10, 2017. The City Council recently
completed his performance evaluation process. The proposed Fifth Amendment would
provide for a one-time additional contribution of $5,000 to the City’s 457 Deferred
Compensation Plan on behalf of the City Manager and an additional 40 hours of
administrative leave.
Both the one-time 457 contribution and award of administrative leave hours would be
made during the 2024-25 Fiscal Year. All other terms and conditions of the current
Employment Agreement would remain the same.
Pursuant to Government Code § 54953, an oral report summarizing the recommended
change in compensation in the form of fringe benefits to the City Manager’s
Employment Agreement is required. The summary is as follows:
A one-time contribution in the amount of $5,000 to the City’s 457 deferred
compensation plan is to be made on behalf of the City Manager and an additional 40
hours of administrative will be credited to his leave bank for the 2024-25 Fiscal Year.

TITLE: ATTORNEY GENERAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH LOS ANGELES
COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide direction as deemed appropriate.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
It is our understanding that Attorney General Rob Bonta is in negotiations with LA
County and the LA County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) that could severely limit LASD’s
ability to enforce penal code and vehicle code violations throughout Los Angeles
County. At the October 1, 2024 City Council meeting, Council Member Low requested
that the City Council consider sending a letter to the Attorney General requesting that
Diamond Bar, as a City that contracts with LASD for law enforcement services, have an
opportunity to participate and be made aware of any settlement discussions as those
negotiations may affect law enforcement services in Diamond Bar. It was the
consensus of the Council to place an item on the agenda for further discussion and
consideration.
California Contract Cities Association (CCCA) recently sent correspondence to Attorney
General Bonta expressing concerns over the negotiations and the potential to impact
public safety throughout Los Angeles County through disparate application of laws
between jurisdictions, and offering the opportunity to meet and further discuss the
concerns (Attachment 1). While we do not know the specifics of the negotiations, it
seems appropriate that the Attorney General should consider input f rom the 42 cities
that contract with LASD for law enforcement services, including Diamond Bar , before
7.2
Packet Pg. 50
any final decisions are made. The contract cities have a significant vested interest in
the operations of the LASD throughout LA County and consideration should be given to
how any changes may impact public safety in those cities.
Staff will continue to coordinate with CCCA on this matter and provide updates as they
may become available. A draft letter has been prepared for consideration should the
Council desire to also send correspondence to Attorney General Bonta on this matter
(Attachment 2).

RE: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department - Penal & Vehicle Code Enforcement
Dear Attorney General Bonta,
The California Contract Cities Association (CCCA) is a local government advocacy
association currently representing 80 cities and nearly 8 million residents in
Southern California. CCCA was founded in 1957 to represent the collective interests
of all 42 cities that contract for law enforcement services with the Los Angeles
County Sheriff’s Department (LASD).
We have recently been apprised of ongoing negotiations between your office and
Los Angeles County that could severely limit LASD’s ability to enforce penal (PC) and
vehicle code (VC) violations throughout Los Angeles.
We are deeply concerned the results of these negotiations would limit LASD’s ability
to enforce existing laws in our communities. As you may be aware, not every city in
Los Angeles and Southern California contracts with LASD. These restrictions are very
likely to adversely impact public safety in our cities and would create a disparate
application of the law throughout Los Angeles County. This could potentially cause
confusion among neighboring jurisdictions, as it could be difficult to ascertain which
laws are enforceable across jurisdictions.
Holding LASD to a different set of rules than all other law enforcement agencies in
California is a disservice to deputies and to the communities they serve. Each of our
80 member cities place public safety as their highest priority, which is the primary
reason these negotiations are so concerning.
CCCA fully supports progressive policing policies in accordance with applicable
constitutional guidelines and holding law enforcement accountable when these
tenets are violated. A significant part of the move toward more progressive policies
should include state funds for training and technology.
We look forward to meeting with you to discuss our concerns further in Los Angeles
or Sacramento at your convenience. We are certain our concerns are valid and
7.2.a

appreciate your partnership in ensuring our residents and communities have the
resources they need to uphold the highest levels of public safety.

RE: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department – Penal & Vehicle Code
Enforcement
Dear Attorney General Bonta,
The City of Diamond Bar is one of 42 cities that contract with the Los Angels County
Sheriff’s Department (LASD) for law enforcement services. We recently became
aware of ongoing negotiations between your office and Los Angeles County that
could severely limit LASD’s ability to enforce penal (PC) and vehicle code (VC)
violations throughout Los Angeles.
We are deeply concerned that the results of these negotiations would limit LASD’s

restrictions are very likely to adversely impact public safety in our cities and would

Diamond Bar shares borders with the City of Pomona who has their own Police
Department.
Holding LASD to a different set of rules than all other law enforcement agencies in
California is a disservice to deputies and to the communities they serve, including
Diamond Bar. As with other cities, we place public safety as our highest priority,
which is the primary reason these negotiations are so concerning. While we
appreciate the confidential nature of the negotiations, the 42 cities that contract
with LASD for law enforcement services have a significant vested interest and
should have an opportunity to participate in those discussions as the results may
drastically alter the effectiveness of public safety within our communities.

Meeting Date: October 15, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: SURPLUS INVENTORY OF RESIDENTIAL STREET NAME SIGNS.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Review the following options and provide direction for the disposal of surplus residential
street name signs as deemed appropriate.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City will incur costs for the staff time involved in coordinating the approved disposal
of the surplus residential street name sign inventory. The exact amount is contingent
upon the Council’s preferred option and the resources necessary for implementation.
As presented, only Options 2 and 4 have the potential to generate a small amount of
revenue for the City. If all 1,382 residential street name signs are sold at a fixed cost,
then there is a maximum value that could be recouped based on the individual unit price
and total number sold. Individually, each street name sign has minimal to zero scrap
value due to special plastic material covering the metal. Regardless of the option
selected, any revenues received will be deposited to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
In the early 2000s, the City removed all of the Los Angeles County standard blue -
colored porcelain residential street name signs citywide, with forest green-colored signs
featuring a custom shape and the City Seal.
On June 7, 2022, the City Council approved Athaco, Inc. to manufacture 680 new
residential street name signs and associated mounting hardware for Phase 1
(Residential Areas 1-3). On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved Athaco, Inc. to
manufacture 702 new signs and hardware for Phase 2 (Residential Areas 4-7).
7.3
Packet Pg. 56
The new street name signs follow the City’s current streetscape theme and pallet,
including replacing the City Seal with the windmill logo, a white Highway Gothic
typeface over a standard green background, and a custom-shaped sign.
The in-house replacement work of all residential street name signs will be completed by
the end of November 2024. All of the old street name signs removed under this
replacement project are securely stored at City Hall, pending the Council’s direction.
DISCUSSION:
There appears to be interest from residents to acquire the old residential street name
signs. Diamond Bar City Code Section 3.24.120 authorizes the Purchasing Manager
(City Manager) to dispose of surplus property by auction, sale, recycling or destruction.
The City Council may choose to donate surplus property to another public agency or
not-for-profit organization.
Four (4) options have been offered to dispose of the old residential street name signs
which are discussed below for consideration and desired direction by the Council:
1. To offer the surplus signs to Diamond Bar residents at no cost to them;
2. To sell the surplus signs to Diamond Bar residents at a fixed cost;
3. For the City Council to donate the surplus signs to a local not-for-profit
organization; or,
4. To properly recycle all surplus inventory for its cash value, if any.
The typical logistics for Options 1-2 would include advertisement of the availability of the
signs for donation, and coordination by involved staff during the donation period.
Damaged and defaced signs will not be offered. Any signs that remain in the City’s
surplus inventory after the donation period will be recycled.
Option 1 is the most expeditious and straightforward approach to transfer these signs
from the available inventory to interested customers on a first-come, first-served basis,
at no cost. This option would minimize the overall staff involvement beyond those
already slated to help facilitate the process.
Option 2 is oriented towards cost neutrality. Similar to Option 1, the signs would be
offered to interested customers on a first-come, first-served basis, at a nominal cost
(i.e.: $25) to partially offset the implementation costs. It is likely that not all signs will be
sold. Any remaining signs at the end of the sale period would be recycled..
Option 3 is to donate the signs to a not-for-profit organization. This is consistent with
the City’s previous actions in the early 2000s when the Diamond Bar Community
Foundation fundraised by auctioning the LA County standard street name signs. The
City Council would need to designate a non-for-profit organization willing to accept the
signs. In addition, staff time would be anticipated to coordinate with the organization to
assist with the transfer of signs.
Option 4 is to recycle the surplus signs. Because of the special plastic material covering
the aluminum signs, the recycling value of the entire inventory could be zero.
7.3
Packet Pg. 57
It is recommended that the City Council discuss the options and provide direction on
these or any other options deemed appropriate.

Dear Ms. Santana,
I’m planning to attend the City Council Meeting to address the Council members on Mt SAC $750 million proposed bond
measure appearing on November 5 Ballot.
Please include and distribute the attached file to members of the council.
Thank you,
Dr. Sassi of Walnut

Dear Mayor, City Council Members, Staff and Diamond Bar Residence:
City Hall, Diamond Bar
October 15, 2024
Why do I say No to the Bond Measure requested by Mt SAC and appearing to voters on November 5,
2024.
This Fall 27 school districts in LA County seeking $15 Billion while 10 school districts are seeking $2
Billion in Orange County. LAUSD bond measure is $9 Billion and LACC is asking for $5.3 Billion.
The State is also seeking $10 Billion bond money (Prop 2) and $10 billion (Prop 4), the last State bond
was passed in 2016 and failed in 2020.
Mt Sac Bond in the amount of $750 million may cost the taxpayers as much as $1.5 Billion over the life of
the bond, that was based on the analysis provided by LA County Council on page 29 of the County
Official Sample Pamphlet. Mt Sac wants us to pay for short term costs with long term financing. These
upgrades will be obsolete long before the bond is paid off. Today's college students living in the district
will pay for this bond long after their own children have graduated from college. That's fiscally wrong and
unacceptable
Mt SAC board of trustees and past and current administration have shown to be in violation of the intent
of Prop 39. Unfortunately the way prop 39 is written allows for college employees assigned to oversee
the construction to be paid by the bond money, it seems to me as a neighbor to the college, the college
didn’t set their budget priorities appropriately. They have known for years that the college needs more
than repairs and maintenance. Their failure to prioritize these costs is unforgivable and should have been
taken care by previous bond that amounted to over $1.5 Billion excluding financial fees.
Mt SAC didn’t learn from the law suits which they lost to UWT and the City of Walnut and cost the tax
payers about $5 million in attorneys’ fee.
Board measures in particular set the tone to borrow money and increase your property taxes to pay for
their irresponsible fiscal management. Your education dollars will be going to institutional investors and
other wealthy people to be used as a tax shelter.
Homeowners will pay more taxes. Renters and small businesses will pay higher rent. Customers will pay
higher prices. That's not fiscally sound.
Vote NO on Measure V.
Thank you for your attention,
Dr. Hassan Sassi, Retired, Professor of Engineering & Engineering Consultant to Governmental Agencies.

I will not be able to attend the meeting in person, but I wanted to make my observations known. I've lived in DB for 40
years and have seen the deterioration of the neighborhoods especially after the drought restrictions enforced and also
after the "Covid effect" we all suffered. I'm mostly commenting on my surrounding neighborhood but I have noticed these
issues throughout the City.
1. Code indicates that all vehicles incapable of operating are not to be stored in public view. They must be stored in
garage or out of site.
There are many vehicles just in my neighborhood that are not operational and are sitting in the drive ways of homes,
unregistered for years making the area seem like a junk yard.
2. Code indicates all trash cans, rubbish and discarded objects must be kept of our public view at all times.
Most of the homes in my general area leave their trash cans out in front of the home. I've complained about this several
times and had little response.
3. Code indicates that owners must "Maintain homes with a fresh coat of paint".
This is not happening.
4. Code indicates that "All yard areas and slopes must be landscaped and maintained. Overgrown vegetation, dead,
decayed or diseased trees, and unsightly weeds or lawns that detract from the appearance of the home and the
neighborhood are not permitted".
Definitely not happening. There is no pride of ownership anymore. People do not landscape their property or if they
did, let everything die during the drought restrictions. There's just dirt in many areas and no one seems to think they must
maintain the parkways of their homes as well. Corner properties are especially an issue. This is my main complaint.
There is a lack of code enforcement officials to cover a City of our size and diversity. I'm sure there are many
homeowners new to the area that have not received a copy of or known of the code restrictions in the City. I think at my
last count there were 3 officers and 2 were on disability or sick. Instead of spending funds on hiring more people to
enforce the City rules, new street signs were installed. This was totally unnecessary spending as far as I'm
concerned. They were already replaced once before and they were not damaged or rusted. I'm not sure of the logic
there.
Perhaps, in order to make homeowners aware of the City Codes, there should be an article in the DB News to all
households letting people know that the codes of the City will be enforced. I hope you all find this article informative and I
would be glad to take pictures and provide more evidence of the neglect in the City. I'm sure many people feel this way
but don't make their feelings known.
