         The fee will transition to 15 percent of net collections once the annual membership program fee reaches $90.00 due to Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. Competitive bidding is not required pursuant to City Charter section
         1002(F) (contracts for professional or unique services).

7.      MUNICIPAL SERVICES COMMITTEE: ROADSIDE MEMORIAL SIGN PROGRAM
         Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)      Approve the establishment of a Roadside Memorial Sign Program within the Department of Transportation; and
         (2)      Approve the draft policy to execute this Program.
         Recommendation of the Municipal Services Committee: On July 26, 2022, the Municipal Services Committee requested that the draft policy be modified to allow for a Council District office to submit a request for a Roadside
         Memorial Sign when the victim is an unhoused individual and when the next of kin cannot be identified or located through the collective efforts of the City. Staff has modified the policy to include such language. In addition, the Municipal
         Services Committee recommended that staff review if additional language could be included on the memorial sign, such as “In Loving Memory” or the addition of the date of birth and date of death of the victim. Staff will review this
         request to ensure consistency with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and best practices. In anticipation of such accommodations being allowed, the policy has been modified to allow for the potential for
         additional language on the sign.
         Recommendation of the Transportation Advisory Commission: On June 23, 2022, the Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) recommended that the City Council approve the recommended staff policy for establishment of
         the Roadside Memorial Sign Program. The Commission also recommended that memorial sign replacement costs, after the useful life of the initial installation, be borne by the City. Staff concurs with this recommendation and has
         included it in the draft policy.

         Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)      Find that this action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the General Rule that CEQA applies solely to projects that may have an effect on the environment;
         and
         (2)      Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance and return within 60 days amending the Pasadena Municipal Code Title 8 and Title 14 regarding hazardous materials.
