2500 Planning - Ordinance No 307 Building Official & City EngineerORDINANCE 307: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AMENDING THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE DESIGNATION OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AND CITY ENGINEER (SECOND READING AND ADOPTION) City Manager Dalilerbruch reported that Ordinance No. 307 had been amended as directed by the City Council and it is being presented for second reading and adoption.

ORDINANCE 307: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AMENDING THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE DESIGNATION OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AND CITY ENGINEER. City Manager Dahlerbruch presented the staff report providing background information regarding the proposed ordinance. He said that the City has the authority and discretion to designate whom it deems its Building Official, City Engineer, Chief Plumbing Inspector and Chief Electrical Inspector for the processing and approval of building and construction plans. He reported that since the City's incorporation, the City has designated the County of Los Angeles with this responsibility but that the proposed ordinance would allow residents to have a choice of either having plans reviewed and permitted by the County or having a private contractor to review their plans and issue permits. He explained that with the heavy workload of the County that a private contractor would most likely be more expensive but would be able to provided review and permitting more rapidly. The City Attorney explained that following the amendment of the code that now specifically names the County as the City's Building Official that the designation of more than one entity to act as the City's Building Official would be made by a resolution of the City Council. Comments were offered about the proposed ordinance and it was suggested that since either the County or a private contractor would be a choice for residents that the word entity be changed to entities and the word person be changed to persons. Hearing no further discussion, Mayor Black called for a motion.

Date: 02-11-08 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ANTON DAHLERBRUCH, CITY MANAGER RESOLUTION NO. 1034: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS ESTABLISHING A 25% SURCHARGE ON LOS ANGELES COUNTY BUILDING AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT FEES FOR AN ALTERNATIVE BUILDING AND SAFETY PERMITTING PROCESS THROUGH A CITY -APPROVED CONSULTANT AND AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 496 AND RESOLUTION NO. 931 DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 2008 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution establishing a 25% surcharge on Los Angeles County Department of Building and Safety fees for the alternative use of the City -approved consultant for plan review, permitting and inspection. BACKGROUND At its meeting of January 14, 2008, the City Council approved an agreement with Willdan that provides residents with an alternative to the Los Angeles County Department of Building and Safety for plan review, permitting and inspection. The agreement established a two-year pilot program with the consultant who will provide the same professional services as Los Angeles County. DISCUSSION As discussed when the contract was approved, the City may be subject to a loss in revenue for covering City costs with implementation of the contract. If all residents utilized the consultant and the consultant's time reached contract specified thresholds for remitting fees to the City, the City could see a drop in revenue. As such, the City is establishing a 25% surcharge to cover its costs of administering the contract and the services it provides in support of plan review, permitting and inspection. Page 1 of 2 C) Printed on Recycled Paper vot • • While the surcharge is to recover the cost of delivering the service, the City has no actuals yet to specifically know the impact /costs of the new services provided. As such, staff was directed at the City Council meeting of January 14, 2008 to provide the City Council with quarterly updates on the costs of the program at which time the City Council can consider modifications. The new services will be implemented as of March 1, 2008 with the first update to the City Council in June 2008. FISCAL IMPACT With the surcharge proposed, the City could potentially see a reduction in building and inspection fees if all residents were to utilize the consultant rather than Los Angeles County and the consultant utilized the maximum payable hours. Staff does not believe this will be the case and will monitor the program closely.

Date: 01-14-08 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ANTON DAHLERBRUCH, CITY MANAGER CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 1031: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DESIGNATING THE PERSONS CHARGED WITH PERFORMING THE DUTIES OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL, CITY ENGINEER AND TRAFFIC ENGINEER PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE DATE: JANUARY 14, 2008 ATTACHMENT: Resolution RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopted the proposed Resolution that designates the person(s) responsible for serving as the City of Rolling Hills Building Official, City Engineer, Traffic Engineer, Chief Plumbing Inspector and Chief Electrical Inspector. BACKGROUND In October 2007, the City Council modified the Municipal Code, by ordinance, to permit more than one person, if desired, to serve as the City's building official, engineer, traffic engineer, plumbing inspector and electrical inspector. The action modified the definition of each position so the City was not bound solely to the County of Los Angeles for these services. DISCUSSION The proposed Resolution requires that the City Manager specifically designate who will serve in the City's position of Building Official, Engineer, Traffic Engineer, Chief Plumbing Inspector and Chief Electrical Inspector. The Resolution provides that the appropriate individual(s) within Los Angeles County as well as consultant(s) of the City may serve in these capacities. The Resolution is necessary to formally fill these roles. Page 1 of 2 ® Printed on Recycled Paper • FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct fiscal impact with adoption of the proposed resolution. Whether provided by Los Angeles County or a consultant, the services of the designated building official, engineer, traffic engineer, plumbing inspector and electrical inspector are compensated under contract to the City. NOTIFICATION The Building Official at the Lomita office of the Los Angeles County Department of Building and Safety has been advised of this matter on the City Council agenda.

The choice before residents would be between the Los Angeles County Department of Building and Safety (Lomita office) and a consultant who is on contract with the City. The alternative to use a consultant would provide residents, at a higher cost, with an expedited review process. The City has an existing contract with Los Angeles County for its services; to initiate the alternative option, the City would need to engage a firm with an agreement. The City would also need to approve a Resolution that designates individuals in the firm along with County officials as City engineer, building official, chief plumbing inspector and chief electrical inspector. The City of Rolling Hills has a long history with Willdan for engineering services. The firm also provides building services for many cities including the business district in our neighboring jurisdiction, Rolling Hills Estates. To pilot the concept of the alternative plan review, permitting and inspection process, it is proposed that the City Council consider an agreement with Willdan. Attached for review is a proposal from Willdan. It is recommended that the City Council review the attached proposal. Under "Matters from Staff" at the City Council meeting of November 26, 2007, staff will raise this matter for the purpose of hearing City Council questions. We will subsequently return to the City Council for formal consideration of the proposal at a meeting in January 2008. -1- Printed on Recycled Paper DISCUSSION Over the past several months, staff has been talking with representatives of Willdan in regard to a variety of City projects — a low pressure sewer system feasibility study, building and fire code review and building services inclusive of plan review, permitting and inspection. Through the course of these discussions, it was determined that the City does not have an agreement in place for the existing traffic engineering services provided by the firm. As such, the attached proposal is intended to be an umbrella, all - encompassing agreement that provides the City with the flexibility to utilize Willdan for engineering and building services as needed/directed by the City. The traffic engineering services noted in the agreement do not reflect a change in the hourly rate to the City. In the attached document, pages 6 — 11 outline the proposed process for Willdan to provide an alternative, faster plan review process for development. Willdan s review process will follow the same City/County building (and fire) codes and thus, the outcome of plan review, permitting and inspection by Willdan will mirror the County's outcome. A question recently came up in regard to asking Willdan to plan check a project that is currently undergoing plan check through the County for the purpose of comparing outcomes. For various reasons, Willdan is not interested in such an exercise. However, for comparison purposes, they are very receptive to illustrating their turn- around time in relation to the County's. In creating an agreement, Willdan will be held accountable for a specific timeframe by which to complete plan review. A failure to maintain the designated performance standard would be justification for canceling the agreement. In a resident's selection of either the County or the consultant for plan review, the subsequent steps in the process — permitting and inspection — would be followed and completed by the County or consultant, respectively. The resident and/or the City could not/would not request the services of the other organization in the midst of a project. FISCAL IMPACT With the proposed building services provided by Willdan, there is no intent by staff that the City would incur any costs or expenses. Consistent with past practice and the structure of the City's relationship with the County, all costs would be paid by the applicant. Fees charged by Willdan would be based on County fees with a surcharge of 25% for an expedited review. CONCLUSION The intent of staff's work in regard to an alternative plan review, permitting and inspection process and subsequently, soliciting a proposal from Willdan is to provide residents with the option to obtain a faster service. Because of the City's long-time. relationship with Willdan and their experience in plan review, permitting and inspection, it seems reasonable to initiate this new program with them as a pilot. To assess the effectiveness of the pilot, they believe a two-year agreement is necessary although three years is preferable. The City's agreement, however, would have a -2- F s • cancellation clause with appropriate notice. Toward the conclusion of the pilot project, staff would propose an evaluation of the program for consideration of renewing or bidding the contract. AD/ • 11-14-07PImr Revice coverrnerno.doc cc: Mr. Michael Jenkins, City Attorney -3- November 9, 2007 Mr. Anton Dahlerbruch City Manager City of Rolling Hills 2 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 Subject: Proposal for Professional Engineering and Building and Safety Services Dear Mr. Dahlerbruch: Willdan is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional engineering services to the City of Rolling Hills as the City Traffic Engineer, Special City Engineer, and Special City Building Official, and to provide other as needed engineering, planning, and building and safety services as requested by the City. Willdan is a leader in contract municipal engineering services in Southern California and has an excellent staff of engineers and building and safety specialists in a variety of functions. Willdan is especially qualified to provide these services to the City of Rolling Hills for the following reasons: • Willdan is intimately familiar with the City of Rolling Hills through its long-term relationship over the past 20 years. Serving the City as Traffic Engineer and on numerous projects, many of Willdan's staff members have gained a thorough understanding of the City's policies and procedures, likes and dislikes, and a strong flavor for the wants and needs of the community. This familiarity provides the City with unparalleled firsthand experience in our staff, that requires little or no learning curve. • Ms. Vanessa Munoz, P.E., T.E., P.T.O.E., has been designated to continue to serve as your City Traffic Engineer for this assignment, and as the Project Manager for the daily conduct of the assignment. Ms. Munoz has more than 10 years of traffic engineering and project management experience. In addition to currently serving your City as Traffic Engineer, Ms. Munoz is also serving as the interim City Traffic Engineer for the City of Fontana and as an Associate Traffic Engineer in the City of Camarillo's Public Works Department. Ms. Munoz has extensive experience in municipal traffic engineering, as well as knowledge of both traditional and creative traffic solutions. As a Supervising Engineer at Willdan, Ms. Munoz also oversees many of the Traffic Division's design projects and is intimately involved in many of the state and federal funding applications prepared by Willdan for our client cities. • Mr. Elroy Kiepke, P.E. has been designated to serve as the Special City Engineer for this assignment. Mr. Kiepke has more than 37 years of experience in all facets of city engineering and currently serves as City Engineer in several Cities, including the Cities of Bradbury and Lawndale. He also serves as Special City Engineer in the neighboring City of Rolling Hills Estates, which provides him with intimate knowledge and experience • • November 9, 2007 Page 2 with engineering matters pertaining to the Palos Verdes Penninsula. Mr Kiepke is also well versed in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements as they apply to both public and private development. • Mr. Stephen H. Widmayer, P.E., C.B.O., C.P.E., has been designated to serve as your Special City Building Official. As Vice President/Division Manager of the Building and Safety Plan Check Services for Willdan, Mr. Widmayer manages a staff of building and grading plan checkers assigned to the Los Angeles and Anaheim Regional offices. He oversees all aspects of the technical plan check operation, including life safety, energy, accessibility, structural, and the administration aspects, including code interpretation, quality control, scheduling, and training. Mr. Widmayer has previously served as the Building Official for the City of Dana Point and the Deputy Building Official for the City of Lake Forest and has acted as interim Building Official for the Cities of Santa Monica, Glendale, and Anaheim. • As a full -service multidisciplinary civil engineering firm, we have a full compliment of staff available to provide not only traffic engineering and building and safety services, but also many other engineering and municipal support services, as needed by the City, such as, street and sewer design, engineering plan check, geotechnical engineering, and planning services. Our staff of engineers, building and safety, and planning professionals ensures that we will have the ability to provide these services efficiently and without the use of subconsultants. In this way, Rolling Hills maximizes Willdan's labor resources, while gaining the reward of reduced labor costs.

The choice before residents would be between the Los Angeles County Department of Building and Safety (Lomita office) and a consultant who is on contract with the City. The alternative to use a consultant would provide residents, at a higher cost, with an expedited review process. The City has an existing contract with Los Angeles County for its services; to initiate the alternative option, the City would need to engage a firm with an agreement. The City would also need to approve a Resolution that designates individuals in the firm along with County officials as City engineer, building official, chief plumbing inspector and chief electrical inspector. The City of Rolling Hills has a long history with Willdan for engineering services. The firm also provides building services for many cities including the business district in our neighboring jurisdiction, Rolling Hills Estates. To pilot the concept of the alternative plan review, permitting and inspection process, it is proposed that the City Council consider an agreement with Willdan. Attached for review is a proposal from Willdan. It is recommended that the City Council review the attached proposal. Under "Matters from Staff" at the City Council meeting of November 26, 2007, staff will raise this matter for the purpose of hearing City Council questions. We will subsequently return to the City Council for formal consideration of the proposal at a meeting in January 2008. -1- Printed on Recycled Paper DISCUSSION Over the past several months, staff has been talking with representatives of Willdan in regard to a variety of City projects — a low pressure sewer system feasibility study, building and fire code review and building services inclusive of plan review, permitting and inspection. Through the course of these discussions, it was determined that the City does not have an agreement in place for the existing traffic engineering services provided by the firm. As such, the attached proposal is intended to be an umbrella, all - encompassing agreement that provides the City with the flexibility to utilize Willdan for engineering and building services as needed / directed by the City. The traffic engineering services noted in the agreement do not reflect a change in the hourly rate to the City. In the attached document, pages 6 — 11 outline the proposed process for Willdan to provide an alternative, faster plan review process for development. Willdan s review process will follow the same City/County building (and fire) codes and thus, the outcome of plan review, permitting and inspection by Willdan will mirror the County's outcome. A question recently came up in regard to asking Willdan to plan check a project that is currently undergoing plan check through the County for the purpose of comparing outcomes. For various reasons, Willdan is not interested in such an exercise. However, for comparison purposes, they are very receptive to illustrating their turn- around time in relation to the County's. In creating an agreement, Willdan will be held accountable for a specific timeframe by which to complete plan review. A failure to maintain the designated performance standard would be justification for canceling the agreement. In a resident's selection of either the County or the consultant for plan review, the subsequent steps in the process — permitting and inspection — would be followed and completed by the County or consultant, respectively. The resident and/or the City could not/would not request the services of the other organization in the midst of a project. FISCAL IMPACT With the proposed building services provided by Willdan, there is no intent by staff that the City would incur any costs or expenses. Consistent with past practice and the structure of the City's relationship with the County, all costs would be paid by the applicant. Fees charged by Willdan would be based on County fees with a surcharge of 25% for an expedited review. CONCLUSION The intent of staff's work in regard to an alternative plan review, permitting and inspection process and subsequently, soliciting a proposal from Willdan is to provide residents with the option to obtain a faster service. Because of the City's long-time relationship with Willdan and their experience in plan review, permitting and inspection, it seems reasonable to initiate this new program with them as a pilot. To assess the effectiveness of the pilot, they believe a two-year agreement is necessary although three years is preferable. The City's agreement, however, would have a -2- • • cancellation clause with appropriate notice. Toward the conclusion of the pilot project, staff would propose an evaluation of the program for consideration of renewing or bidding the contract.

CALIF. 90274 (310)377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 Agenda Item No.: 8-A Mtg. Date: 09/24/07 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ANTON DAHLERBRUCH, CITY MANAGER AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AMENDING THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE DESIGNATION OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL - AND CITY ENGINEER DATE: SEPTEMBER 24, 2007 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council conduct the first reading for adoption of the proposed ordinance that modifies the Municipal Code with new and amended definitions for the City Engineer and for administering the City's Building Code inclusive of plumbing, mechanical and electrical code approval responsibilities. The ordinance provides that the City Council may designate by Resolution the City's Building Official, Engineer, Chief Electrical Inspector and Chief Plumbing Inspector. BACKGROUND The City has the authority and discretion to designate whom it deems its Building Official, City Engineer, Chief Plumbing Inspector and Chief Electrical Inspector for the processing and approval of building and construction plans. Since the City's incorporation, the City of Rolling Hills has designated the County of Los Angeles with this responsibility. While the County of Los Angeles performs this function for many municipalities, some cities either have in-house staff or consulting companies (e.g., Willdan Associates or Charles Abbott Associates, for example) to perform building and construction plan review and permitting. In some cases, a combination system is used. In Rolling Hills Estates, for example, construction in the business area is reviewed and approved by a consulting company while residential construction is reviewed and approved by the County. Whether the County, in-house staff or a consulting company is utilized for plan review and permitting, all follow at a minimum the State Building Code. Page 1 of 2 CO Printed on Recycled Paper DISCUSSION As a small city, it is not practical for the City of Rolling Hills to have an in-house Building Department and all the supporting staff. However, it may be of value to have a consulting company on retainer for building and construction plan review and approval. The County of Los Angeles has served as an invaluable resource to the City having both the depth and breadth of staff to assist the City in many ways. However, their approval processes are routinely at least six weeks. A consulting company, on the other hand, would -be under contractual obligation to the City to process plans within a shorter time frame while also being responsive to specific City goals and objectives. With adoption of the proposed ordinance, the City Council would be providing itself with the' opportunity to designate one or more Building Official, City Engineer, Chief Plumbing Inspector and Chief Electrical Inspector. In other words, the City Council could maintain its relationship with the County of Los Angeles for plan review and approval as well as appoint a consulting company with these responsibilities. Both would be responsible for implementing the same exact Building Code and engineering standards: FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the proposed ordinance. If the City were to contract with a consulting company for plan and construction review and permitting, it is likely that application fees would be higher than the fees charged by the County of Los Angeles. The fees would be higher in return for providing applicants with a faster plan review and permitting process. If the City, in turn, were to designate both the County and a consulting company with the plan review and approval responsibilities, an applicant would have a choice of utilizing the County at base rates or paying a premium to use the consulting company. Fees charged to applicants directly represent the cost of providing services. CONCLUSION With the proposed ordinance, the City Council will provide itself with the authority to designate one or more Building Official, City Engineer, Chief Plumbing Inspector and Chief Electrical Inspector. However, at this time and with this ordinance, the City Council is not changing its relationship with the County of Los Angeles for the provision of these services. The County will remain as the sole agency for plan review and approval until the City Council considers a Resolution to add an alternative.
