Subject: City of Anaheim Council Meeting Agenda Item # 15 – October 8, 2024
Dear Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers,
The Orange County Transportation Authority ( OCTA) values the long partnership between the City of Anaheim ( City) and our agency, which has facilitated the successful delivery of several multimodal improvements to serve City residents and the region at large, including the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, State Route 57 improvements and grade separation projects.

The City is part of our core transit service area, with nearly half of OCTA’s 52 routes operating within the City and the second most boardings of any city within the County. This service area is integral to OCTA’s larger transit system, which connects people throughout the County to jobs, education centers, and other points of interest. It is the backbone for many disadvantaged communities and job centers. Therefore, OCTA has to take any potential negative impact to its transit funding streams seriously.

For more than two years, the OCTA staff has worked collaboratively with the Anaheim Transportation Network ( ATN) to help develop and provide a non- legislative pathway for ATN to receive revenue- based State Transit Assistance ( STA) formula dollars. This path was agreed to by OCTA and ATN in lieu of the statutory changes proposed in 2022 by SB 1196 ( Umberg, D-Santa Ana) and led to Senator Umberg withdrawing the bill.

OCTA was willing to assist in this effort because this particular funding source would bring new state transit dollars to Orange County and would not divert funds that OCTA would otherwise receive to provide residents and visitors with countywide transit service.

While the item on your agenda describes an agreement between ATN and the City of Anaheim that aims to advance the objective of bringing new transit dollars to Orange County, OCTA has serious concern that the proposed agreement goes City of Anaheim
October 7, 2024

beyond this intent and will divert transit funding from core services within the City and County.

There is one element of the draft agreement that OCTA specifically opposes, which we raised objection with at the ATN Board meeting on September 25, 2024.

The agreement references the pursuit of funding available through not only revenue- based STA, but “ other State funding sources.” Recital F in the draft agreement lists some of those other potential revenue sources, many of which are programmed to existing projects and services. As we have repeatedly stated over the past two- plus years, OCTA strongly opposes any effort to divert funds from state and/ or federal sources that OCTA would otherwise receive that would impact our ability to provide transit services to the residents of the City of Anaheim and elsewhere throughout the County.

This is consistent with the discussions we have had with ATN’s staff and Executive Director, Anaheim city staff, as well as with the OCTA Board of Directors. I would respectfully request that you strike Recital F from the draft agreement and any reference to funding sources other than revenue- based STA.

It is also disappointing to note that despite our ongoing conversations and agreement to coordinate in good faith with ATN on this matter, ATN did not discuss nor inform OCTA about the proposed agreement and lacked even the courtesy to notify us that this item was on ATN’s agenda for Board consideration.

OCTA understands the role that ATN plays in primarily shuttling visitors in and around the Anaheim Resort District. We support them in those efforts and in helping to reduce local road congestion. OCTA also greatly values the longstanding partnership we have developed with the City to deliver a range of transportation projects and services no matter what mode of travel a person chooses. We look forward to continuing our joint efforts to keep the residents of Anaheim, and those throughout Orange County, moving in a safe and efficient manner.

Thank you for your support on this matter and we look forward to continued discussions. If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact OCTA’s Chief Financial Officer Andrew Oftelie, who has worked closely with your staff on this issue over the past several years.

Re: Comments regarding Item 20 on the October 8, 2024 Agenda of City Council concerning “ An Ordinance Amending Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 17. 24 Establishing A Timeline, Declaring A Public Nuisance, and Authorizing Enforcement And Penalties Associated With The Removal Of Overhead Telecommunications Facilities Within Underground Utility Districts Dear Councilmembers,
AT& T California submits these comments to the proposal before the Council for an amendment to the City’ s undergrounding ordinance which seeks to set a deadline for completion of all utility undergrounding projects. The proposal would declare any failure to comply with such a deadline a public nuisance and impose criminal and administrative penalties. AT& T believes that some of these deadlines and related provisions are somewhat unreasonable and respectfully asks the Council to direct the Public Utilities Staff to work with AT& T on a few remaining issues as discussed herein.

My team and I have been working hard to review past projects and determine additional internal procedures that will help AT& T streamline its pole removal processes. We have met with Anaheim Utilities Staff and attended the Anaheim Public Utilities Board meeting to discuss some of the concerns we have with the current draft of the amendment. Through these meetings we have agreed on several improvements that will reduce our current project durations. We appreciate the recent update to the amendment section 17. 24. 100. 020 which recognizes that some projects may require more time due to size and complexity. AT& T and the City have cooperated on these matters over decades, and we look forward to our continued ability to meet our joint objectives to complete these projects successfully. We believe we are now down to two issues that we feel need revision with the Public Utilities Staff. They are:

1. The draft amendment needs to clearly define the start of the clock on telecommunications work. Right now, the clock commencement depends on the Department sending a notice that all civil engineering work has been completed.” Our concern is that this standard is too vague and unworkable. The time needed to build the joint trench, potential errors during that construction, and AT& T/ Anaheim
October 7, 2024

Page 2 of 3 ends

environmental factors ( new construction, new Caltrans or railroad projects, improvements, landscaping, etc.) may all requires changes to the civil engineering and actual construction timetables in the undergrounding process. We thus respectfully suggest that notice should be issued after City Staff and all involved utilities have successfully completed final inspection and acceptance of the conduit system, including all service laterals per the project specific “ Agreement for Replacement of Overhead with Underground Communications Facilities.” Also, if issues outside the control of the telecommunications utilities later arise that require modification to the trench, it is only fair that the deadline be extended for the period necessary to implement that modification ( including permitting and construction). To speed up this process, Staff and the utilities can work together to create reasonable deadlines for the completion of the permitting and construction of such corrections.

2. Finally, throughout the City’ s efforts to underground aerial facilities in recent years, AT& T has readily gone beyond the cooperation required by the Public Utilities Code and the California Public Utilities Commission’ s Tariff Rule 32, which govern AT& T’ s undergrounding obligations.

We remain willing to work with the Utility Staff to develop and implement this proposed new paradigm to expedite the removal of aerial facilities after the City completes the development of new infrastructure. But AT& T nevertheless remains concerned that the present draft of the ordinance extends beyond the City’ s legal power. For example, the City proposes to declare a nuisance, subject to criminal enforcement, if AT& T is unable to remove aerial facilities of a type that have been permitted under California law for more than a century.

While it would not cure all of AT& T’ s concerns, we believe modest changes to the proposal will substantially reduce the possibility of a future dispute over the ordinance’ s enforceability.

First, AT& T believes the declaration that utility poles without electrical utilities will be deemed a public nuisance should be removed ( 17. 24. 030. 040). AT& T has hundreds of poles in the City that do not have City electrical facilities. These poles are maintained and inspected by AT& T in accordance with the safety regulations of the California Public Utility Commission. We believe it is thus inappropriate to declare these poles a public nuisance based on the erroneous conclusion that they are not maintained or inspected. Moreover, such an inaccurate label regarding AT& T’ s infrastructure, although factually erroneous, could cause substantial harm to AT& T and other utilities because it may mislead others into the false belief that these poles are somehow unsafe or illegal.

AT& T is also concerned about the declaration that failure to meet the proposed deadline would be punishable as a misdemeanor ( 17. 24. 030. 030). While the potential enforcement of deadlines established under the new ordinance via a civil penalty, in the event of a knowing and unexcused violation, might be appropriate, imposing criminal liabilities without proof of any wrongdoing – and where the City and its processes ( and the activities of its electric utility) may have contributed to a delay – is harsh and could compel AT& T to seek a legal challenge to the City’ s attempt to impose such deadlines. Consequently, AT& T respectfully requests that the City delete the entire proposal imposing a misdemeanor punishment. We further request ( which the City itself has suggested) that the City limit enforcement to civil penalties under Code § 1. 20 and only upon a knowing and unexcused violation.

Based on the above, AT& T strongly urges the Council to direct Staff to work with the affected utilities to develop a revised proposal that will improve timeliness of utility undergrounding projects with the full consideration of the above concerns.

Re: Kennedy Commission Comments Regarding the Proposed Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; Agenda Item # 21
Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of Anaheim City Council,
The Kennedy Commission ( the Commission) is a broad coalition of residents and community organizations that advocates for the production of homes affordable for families earning less than 30,000 annually in Orange County. Formed in 2001, the Commission has been successful in partnering and working with jurisdictions in Orange County to create effective policies that have led to the increased production of affordable homes and housing stability for low income working families.

We are submitting this letter in strong support of the City of Anaheim’s efforts to adopt and implement an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, as well as to offer specific recommendations to enhancethe ordinance’s effectiveness.

Addressing the Critical Need for Affordable Housing in Anaheim The need for affordable housing in Anaheim, particularly for low- wage earners, remains critical.

The current averagefair market rent for an existing two-bedroom apartment in Anaheim is 2,560 per month1,making housing unattainable for many lower- income working families. In addition the averagerent for new developmentsof market rate multifamily development are between $3155.67 -$ 4333.75.2 Despite rising rents and an increasing number of residentsfacing housing instability, the production of affordable housing hasnot kept pacewith this growing need.Without adopting key affordable housing policies, such asinclusionary zoning, Anaheim will only continue to develop market-rate housing that remains out of reachfor most residents.

During the current 6th Regional Housing NeedsAssessment (RHNA) cycle, the City hasto plan for a total of 12,453 housing units. Of that RHNA 3,767 units must be allocated for very low- income householdsand 2,397 units for low- income households.Per the city’s Draft Housing Element (July 2024), the city’s current pipeline projects have already met and exceededits RHNA for above moderateincome families. According to the 2024 Housing Element Annual ProgressReport, Anaheim continues to prioritize above-moderateincome housing, producing 1,175 units for this category,while only 137 deed-restricted units have beendeveloped for very low- income households and 18 units for low- income households. Most of these very low- income units have beendeveloped asPermanentSupportive Housing, primarily serving formerly 2 https:// www. apartments. com/ platinum- triangle- orange- ca/ min- 2- bedrooms/? bb= twnsrzo2iN5v9vtB 1 https:// www. zumper. com/ rent- research/ anaheim- ca 1 homelessindividuals, leaving an unmet needfor broader housing opportunities to houselower income families. The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance should focus on ensuring that low and very low income housing for working families is produced along with market rate housing.

Support and Recommendations for an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance The Kennedy Commission strongly supportsthe City’s efforts to adopt an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. However, we believe the program should be expanded to better address the gap in housing production for low- income householdsthat the market is failing to meet.

We recommend that the City of Anaheim adopt inclusionary requirements similar to the successfulmodels implemented by the City of SantaAna and the City of Irvine and others statewide
For large projects ( 20+ units):
1) A minimum of fifteen ( 15) percent of the units shall be rented to low- income households, or
2) A minimum of ten (10) percentshall be rented to very low- income households, or
3) A minimum of five ( 5) percent shall be rented to extremely low- income households,or
4) A minimum of ten ( 10) percent shall be available at an affordable housing cost of which five ( 5) percent rented to low- income households,three (3) percent rented to very low- income households, and two ( 2) percent rented to extremely low- income households.3
For for- sale units: 10% should be reservedfor moderate-income families.

In addition, we believe that the proposedin-lieu fees are essentialto alternatively develop affordable housing through a robust Affordable Housing Trust Fund. We recommend the following adjustments:

For smaller projects ( Less than 20 units): In-lieu fees should range from $6 to $12 per square foot, depending on the number of units.

For larger projects:

For Ownership units: The in-lieu fee should increasefrom the proposed $5 to $10 per square foot
For Rental units: The in-lieu fee should increasefrom the proposed $10 to $15 per square foot
Implementing thesechangeswill createa balancedapproachto housing development, ensuring that affordable housing is developed alongside market- rate projects. Similar ordinances have proven successfulin neighboring cities in OrangeCounty and statewide and believe this approach will help Anaheim meet its affordable housing goals and provide much needed 3 https:// storage. googleapis. com/ proudcity/ santaanaca/ uploads/ 2022/ 05/ NS- 3019. pdf PDF Page 6 2 affordable housing to working families struggling to remain housed.

The Commission looks forward to partnering with the city to increaseaffordable home opportunities for lower income households in the city. For more information on collaboration, pleasecontact me at (949) 250-0909 or [email protected] Sincerely,

1 Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of the Anaheim City Council, My name is Angeles Ochoa, and I am the Digital Organizer with OCCORD. In my work, I have seen firsthand the impacts of the housing crisis on Anaheim residents. I have worked with many families who have beendisplaced becauseof the high cost of housing and the lack of affordable options. Low- and moderate- income families are being pushed out of Anaheim, forced to leave the city they have called home for yearsdue to the unaffordable rents.

I am writing to strongly urge you to vote YES on agenda item 21 to support the much-needed affordable housing ordinance. Anaheim, like many other California cities, is facing a severe affordable housing crisis, and the current policies do not sufficiently address the needs of our low- and moderate- income families. As a result, too many Anaheim residents are being priced out of their homes, facing overcrowding, or living in substandard conditions.

Inclusionary housing policies in neighboring cities have proven effective in ensuring that affordable housing options are madeavailable and accessibleto thosewho needthem most. We needAnaheim to adopt this ordinance to begin closing the gap betweenrising housing costsand the availability of affordable housing.

Currently, thousandsof families are on waiting lists for affordable housing and Section 8 vouchers, struggling under the weight of skyrocketing rents and limited options. This reality is forcing many to make tough decisions, whether it’s leaving Anaheim or enduring housing instability.

By approving Item 21, you can help alleviate these issues and invest in a more equitable, sustainable future for Anaheim residents.The inclusionary housing ordinance ensuresthat new residential developmentsprovide affordable units or contribute to funding that can further affordable housing projects. This is a critical step forward in creating a city where all residents, regardlessof income, can find safe and stable housing.

I call on you to demonstrateleadership and act now by voting YES on Item 21. Our community is depending on your support to make Anaheim a more affordable and livable city for everyone.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue, and I look forward to seeing Anaheim move toward a more inclusive housing future.

Sincerely,
Angeles Ochoa

Re: OCCORD Comments Regarding the Proposed Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; Agenda Item # 21
Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of Anaheim City Council,
Foundedasa community- labor alliance in 2005, OCCORD combines community organizing, civic participation, strategic research,and advocacy to engageresidents,workers, and stakeholdersin local government decisions that impact economic opportunity, community health, and overall quality of life.

Addressing the Critical Need for Affordable Housing in Anaheim The need for affordable housing in Anaheim, particularly for low- wage earners, remains critical.

The current average fair market rent for an existing two- bedroom apartment in Anaheim is 2,560 per month1,making housing unattainable for many lower-income working families. In addition the averagerent for new developmentsof market rate multifamily development are between $ 3155. 67 -$ 4333. 75. 2 Despite rising rents and an increasing number of residents facing housing instability, the production of affordable housing hasnot kept pacewith this growing need. Without adopting key affordable housing policies, such as inclusionary zoning, Anaheim will only continue to develop market-rate housing that remains out of reachfor most residents.

During the current 6th Regional Housing NeedsAssessment (RHNA) cycle, the City hasto plan for a total of 12,453 housing units. Of that RHNA 3,767 units must be allocated for very low- income householdsand 2,397 units for low- income households.Per the city’s Draft Housing Element ( July 2024), the city’s current pipeline projects have already met and exceeded its RHNA for above moderateincome families. According to the 2024 Housing Element Annual ProgressReport, Anaheim continues to prioritize above-moderateincome housing, producing 1,175 units for this category, while only 137 deed-restricted units have been developed for very low- income householdsand 18 units for low- income households.Most of thesevery low- income units have beendeveloped asPermanentSupportive Housing, primarily serving formerly homelessindividuals, leaving an unmet needfor broader housing opportunities to houselower income families. The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance should focus on ensuring that low and very low income housing for working families is produced along with market rate housing. 1 https:// www. zumper. com/ rent- research/ anaheim- ca 2 https:// www. apartments. com/ platinum- triangle- orange- ca/ min- 2- bedrooms/? bb= twnsrzo2iN5v9vtB 1 Support and Recommendations for an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance OCCORD strongly supportsthe City’s efforts to adopt an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.

However, we believe the program should be expandedto better addressthe gap in housing production for low- income households that the market is failing to meet.

We recommend that the City of Anaheim adopt inclusionary requirementssimilar to the successful models implemented by the City of Santa Ana and the City of Irvine and others statewide
For large projects ( 20+ units):
1) A minimum of fifteen ( 15) percent of the units shall be rented to low- income households,or
2) A minimum of ten (10) percentshall be rented to very low- income households, or
3) A minimum of five ( 5) percentshall be rented to extremely low- income households,or
4) A minimum of ten ( 10) percent shall be available at an affordable housing cost of which five ( 5) percent rented to low- income households,three (3) percent rented to very low- income households,and two ( 2) percent rented to extremely low- income households.
3 For for- sale units: 10% should be reservedfor moderate-income families.

In addition, we believe that the proposed in- lieu fees are essential to alternatively develop affordable housing through a robust Affordable Housing Trust Fund. We recommend the following adjustments:

For smaller projects ( Less than 20 units): In-lieu fees should rangefrom $6 to $12 per squarefoot, depending on the number of units.

For larger projects:

For Ownership units: The in-lieu fee should increasefrom the proposed $5 to $10 per squarefoot
For Rental units: The in-lieu fee should increasefrom the proposed $10 to $15 per squarefoot
Implementing thesechangeswill createa balancedapproachto housing development, ensuring that affordable housing is developed alongside market-rate projects. Similar ordinanceshave proven successful in neighboring cities in Orange County and statewide and believe this approachwill help Anaheim meet its affordable housing goals and provide much needed affordable housing to working families struggling to remain housed.

Organization] looks forward to partnering with the city to increaseaffordable home opportunities for lower income householdsin the city. For more information on collaboration, please contact me at or astarks@occord. org

HelloMayorAitken,
I amanAnaheimresident, bornandraisedinthe3rddistrict. Iaminsupportofagendaitem #21to establishaninclusionaryhousingordinanceintheCityofAnaheim.

I willbeginwiththefacts: The2021 - 2029HousingElement'sRegionalHousingNeedsAssessment AllocationrequiresthattheCitybuilds9,109sitesaffordablehousingunits (notincludingthe8,344 abovemoderateincomeunits). TheCityfellshortofitsproductionallocationforthe2012 - 2020 period, andif it doesn't createanaffordablehousinginclusionaryordinanceit willlikelyfallshortof the2021 - 2029allocationaswell.Additionally, abouttencitieshaveaversionofaninclusionary housingordinanceincluding: thecitiesofBrea, HuntingtonBeach, Irvine, SantaAna, SanClemente, LagunaBeach, SanJuanCapistrano, LaHabra, andLagunaWoodsandCostaMesa. Thecities, witha widevarietyofpoliticalinclinations, havedemonstratedthathavinganinclusionaryhousingordinanceis necessary.

Manyofmyfriends, youngermillennialsandgenerationz, havelefttheCityofAnaheiminpursuitofamore affordablecostoflivingduetothehighcostofrentandunreachablehomeprices.

Whytheriseinstudents’ school threats alarms Southern
California lawenforcement.

Santa Ana police officers stand with students at McFadden Institute of Technology before they are released after a caller said there was a shooter at the school on Sept. 17, 2024. Officials say such threats disrupt classe In Riverside this September, a13- year- old boy found himself locked up in Juvenile Hall after middle school parents reported an Instagram post depicting a student with a firearm and a list of classmates’ names.

Then, at a Riverside high school, a15- year- old girl was arrested after students in a group chat on Instagram shared a photo of guns along with a message suggesting violence toward a classmate.

And in another example of what law enforcement officials and safety experts say is a nationwide increase of threatening behavior toward students and schools this fall, a boy was incarcerated after Riverside County sheriff’ s officials said he threatened students in Jurupa Valley.

That Moreno Valley resident was 12 years old.

Officer Ryan Railsback, a Riverside Police Department spokesman, said detectives have investigated four threats since school started in mid- August.

It’s rare when we have even one,” Railsback said, “ but to have four in the first month and a half of school is outrageous. I can’t think of a school year where we have had this many over such a short span of time.”
2 Riverside County sheriff’ s Sgt. Aaron Avila, who coordinates the school resource officers — deputies on campus — for the Jurupa Valley station, said he has been comparing notes with his counterparts in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties.

We’re all seeing the same stuff,” Avila said. “ The last couple of weeks, there is an increase.”
Safer Schools Together is a national organization that provides training and consultation to schools and law enforcement on digital and behavioral threats.

Its founder, Theresa Campbell, has been studying the topic for 30 years.

Campbell estimated from their research that 700 threat arrests have been made nationwide since Sept. 4, when two teachers and two students were slain at a Georgia high school.

Campbell said she doesn’ t like the term “ copycat” because each student’ s situation is different and each threat must be assessed on its own.

But she added: “ This is definitely the greatest and the highest number of imitator threats that we have been seeing.”
Sebastian Bailey Villasenor talks with attorney Daniel DeLimon before pleading guilty to one count of witness intimidation on May 30, 2024, in Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga. Prosecutors say Villasenor had an obsession with school shootings and planned to kill classmates at Ontario Christian High until he was arrested. ( Contributing Photographer/ John Valenzuela) 3 Motives behind the threats
The reasons are varied, including kids being kids and students wanting to get out of going to school, she said.

Sometimes, they say they made threats “ Because I can. I didn’ teven think about it,” Campbell said.

It’s often a cry for help. They have other things going on in their lives, and they use this behavior to catch others’ attention,” Campbell said.

Said Railsback: “ A lot of them just say they are joking around and they thought it was funny. We’re here to tell them it isthe furthest thing from funny.” Even though no students locally have followed through on the threats with actual violence, their actions have taken a toll: Jacquie Paul, spokeswoman for the Jurupa Valley Unified School District, said school attendance decreases when threats are made because worried parents keep their children home.

Avila said a recent threat resulted in a dozen calls to his office from parents wanting to know what he was going to do about it. These threats have prompted the Sheriff’ s Department to move deputies from one school to another.

Railsback talked about a student, who upon learning of a threat, begged her mother to pick her up from school and then didn’ t want to go the next day.

To have that fear in a child who is going to school to learn and have fun, to have something like this disrupt this one kid is unacceptable, let alone hundreds,” Railsback said.

How images become criminal
These threats are made verbally and on social media. Increasingly, Railsback said, someone from hundreds or thousands of miles away will post a photo of a weapon on social media that will get shared and reshared by students. It becomes a crime, Railsback said, when a student adds text to the image that suggests an attack will target a specific school, classmate or staff member.

Threatening images that listed the Texas cities of Martin and Arlington were misinterpreted as threats to Riverside’ s Martin Luther King High and Arlington High, Railsback said.
4 One threat in Riverside mentioned names of classmates and another a school principal. The image that resulted in the arrest of the 15- year- old girl came from a post created in Indiana, Railsback said.

It’s also a crime when someone promises a specific action, Avila said, such as I’m going to be at school tomorrow and everyone I see I will shoot.” Itdoesn’ t take much time for these threats to spread, Avila said.

One of the things that is happening is that a lot of kids are doing what we call copycat stuff,” Avila said. “ They will see a post and some take screen shots of the post and are editing them and superimposing information on the photo.

They will show friends or pass it around and before we know it, that screen shot is spreading like wildfire and setting all the alarms off.” Those alarms trigger action under what Riverside County calls its STAR Protocol, or School Threat Assessment and Response program When what is perceived as a threat is reported, investigators will determine who is responsible. That student will be contacted at home or school, and their parents will be contacted as well and their homes searched for weapons Railsback said. Parents will be asked if their children suffer from mental health problems, and services will be offered. Anything remotely threatening gets investigated.

Even the ones that aren’ t crimes, we are going to verify,” Railsback said. “ I wouldn’ tsay it’s zero tolerance, but if you made the threat, you will get booked.”
Campbell said arrests provide an opportunity for early intervention that can possibly prevent more serious crimes.

Ontario police arrested Ontario Christian High student Sebastian Bailey Villaseñor in February after learning about his obsession with school shootings that included posing for selfies with his father’ s rifles and researching police response times and what type of bullets could pierce protective vests.

After questioning, Villaseñor, who was 18 at the time of his arrest, was charged as an adult with attempted murder despite not having fired a shot. Although Villaseñor eventually pleaded guilty only to intimidating a witness, San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson said he believes the prosecution may have prevented something worse.
5 Villaseñor was ordered to undergo psychological counseling as part of his sentence.

What happens after an arrest
In Riverside County, the punishment astudent younger than 18 could face will vary depending upon the seriousness of the threat.

Officials would review police reports and assess whether the juvenile needs to bedetained during the court process, said Joe Doty, aRiverside County Probation Department deputy chief probation officer.

The juvenile would be evaluated bythe county’ sBehavioral Health Department within 24hours of the arrest and then face adetention hearing in juvenile court. Charges could be dismissed, or the juvenile could besentenced to probation, diverted into aprogram or incarcerated at Juvenile Hall, Doty said.

How parents can help
Officials called on parents to monitor their children’ ssocial media activities andreport anything concerning to lawenforcement.

By having open communication between parents and the kids, it will help curb some of these school violence threats,” Avila said.

Jurupa Valley Unified officials plan to reinforce that message during Digital Citizenship Week, Oct. 14- 18, Paul said.

The best thing astudent can doifthey see athreatening image, Railsback said, is toresist the temptation to hit the “ share” button.

Show your parents, show your teachers, share itwith law enforcement, but don’tshare itwith your friends,” Railsback said.
