unable to be part of a larger regional system like Interagency Communications
Interoperability or Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications Systems (LA
RICS). Therefore, staff requests that the City Council authorize staff to circulate a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for the upgrade of dispatch radio consoles.

longer being updated and therefore lacks functionality for reliable operation, integration
of information and reliable customer service. In order to sustain system operation, the
Customer Service Center must integrate several software components to continue to
maintain service records and provide an adequate level of customer service. It is
6

FIRING RANGE – F2M18-52, RFP2M18-18

system and is now over 24 years old and has developed systemic problems in
maintaining the correct airflow. These system issues have derailed training due to failure
of the system to operate properly. Therefore, staff requests authorization from the City
Council to circulate a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the upgrade of the Firing Range
Ventilation System.

Recommended Action: City Council authorize staff to solicit proposals for the
upgrade of the Firing Range Ventilation System at the Police Department.

IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES – F2M18-55, C2M18-45,

Due to age and elements, the existing Library deck requires an upgrade to the
waterproofing. Staff evaluated various options by meeting with several firms that provide
design and implementation for waterproofing. As a result of this evaluation, staff
determined that the best approach is to retain a firm that would provide the design and
implementation, as well as provide annual maintenance of the implemented system. This
approach will minimize potential issues related to waterproofing and hold the firm that
designed and implemented it accountable to make any repairs and adjustments as
necessary. Staff recommends awarding the contract to Affinity Building Solutions as the
methodology and the cost they submitted was determined as the most professional,
qualified and best priced approach. Affinity Building Solutions proposes to provide the
design and implementation in the amount of $157,705.21 plus an annual fee of $7,700
for the inspection and maintenance of the system.

ORDINANCE – SECOND READING

CHAPTER 23.57 OF THE ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS PERTAINING TO THE SITING OF ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS - F2M17-51, O2M18-4740

Staff requests that the City Council consider second reading and adoption of an
12
8-27-18
 ordinance approving a Zone Text Amendment to Chapter 23.57 of the Alhambra
Municipal Code to amend the development standards pertaining to the siting of
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). On June 25, 2018, the City Council adopted
Ordinance O2M18-4738, an urgency ordinance, related to the siting of accessory
dwelling units on residential lots. This ordinance was required as an urgency ordinance
based upon the potential for litigation, as well as the health, safety and welfare interests
of the residents to retain City staff’s ability to enforce the dimensional restrictions on lots
seeking to include ADUs, so as to preserve the character of the City’s neighborhoods.
Ordinance O2M18-4740 permanently clarifies the requirement that all lots proposed for
ADU development comply with the City’s lot area, width and depth requirements.

Recommended Action: City Council direct the City Attorney to give second
reading by title only to the following ordinance entitled:

Ordinance No. O2M18-4740: An Ordinance of the City Council of

the City of Alhambra, California, amending Chapter 23.57 (Accessory
Dwelling Units) of the Alhambra Municipal Code pertaining to the
development standards for the siting of Accessory Dwelling Units

after which the Council, by motion, may adopt Ordinance No. O2M18-4740.
