Public Notice - CDBG Contract 21-CDBG-NH-20011- Project Closeout

I RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Director recommends that the Council,

1. Receive a staff report on the performance of the CDBG Contract 21-CDBG•NH• 20011 Project;

2. Receive public comment;

3. Authorize staff to close out the contract

I FISCAL IMPACT

Supplies, Legal, and Equipment $ 233,645.00
2- General Administration $ 16,355.00
Total $ 250,000.00
ITEM 8.5 PAGE1 10/21/2025
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City of Anderson received funding under the 2021 CDBG Planning Grant Application submitted. The Contract was issued to the City under Contract No. 21-CDBG-NH-20011 in the amount of $250,000, with $16,355 allocated to General Administration. The duration of grant activities occurred between 11/6/2022 to 11/6/2025.

The funding was provided on a reimbursement basis for Code Enforcement services in a designated area within the City of Anderson. The goal being to protect public health and safety, gain compliance with ordinances and regulations regarding health and housing codes, land use and zoning ordinances, permitting, sign standards, and uniform building and fire codes in deteriorated or deteriorating areas in which such enforcement, together with public or private improvements or rehabilitation services provided, would be likely to stop the decline of the designated area and preserve housing.

The City of Anderson was able to successfully complete over 450 code enforcement cases throughout the duration of the grant. Of those cases, 25 proceeded to administrative hearings, with the majority resulting in voluntary compliance through self-abatement. The City abated two properties and pursued receivership in one significant case, ensuring resolution where voluntary action was not achieved.

The grant funding allowed for updates to be made to the City's Code Enforcement software and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, improving case tracking and operational efficiency. The grant also funded valuable training opportunities, supporting the ongoing credentialing and professional development of our Code Enforcement team. Personnel attended the following training events:
• 2024 Code Conference, Long Beach, CA (November 11-15, 2024) • 2025 Code Conference, Garden Grove, CA (July 22-24, 2025) • CACEO Module One Academy, San Bernardino, CA (July 28 - August 1, 2025) The City allocated additional funding to the project as outlined below:

sented By:

Through:

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Anderson City Council Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager
From: Tyler Finch, Lieutenant
Date: October 21, 2025

I SUBJECT
Grant application for the Category 1- BJA FY25 Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program to Support Law Enforcement Agencies.

I RECOMMENDATION

1. Receive a staff report;

2. Receive public comment;

3. Approve a resolution authorizing staff to submit the Category 1 BJA FY2 5 Body-Worn Camera and Implementation Program to Support Law Enforcement Agencies for an in-car camera system and cloud storage solution.

I FISCAL IMPACT
The in-car camera project is an important part of the Police Department's efforts to enhance officer safety, improve accountability, and increase transparency. In December 2024, the department began actively pursuing grant funding to support the implementation of a BWC system. The requested federal grant has since become available to supplement the existing BWC program with vehicle mounted camera systems.

The total fiscal impact of the proposed grant application is $450,000, or approximately $150,000 annually for the first three years and $0 for the remaining two years. The City ITEM 8.8 PAGE1 10/21/2025
will be required under the grant to provide a 50% match of funds. This match can be of in kind (ie: services, salary, equipment, and actual cash).

It is anticipated that the total match of city funds of $225,000 over the grant life span will come from employee salaries of approximately $50,000 per year ($150,000 for the threeyear grant period) as well as a redirection of existing BWC program funds to cover the remaining $25,000 per year ($75,000 for the three-year grant period).

On August 19, 2025, the City Council approved annual funding in the amount of $48,000 to support the Police Department's Body-Worn Camera (BWC) program. This proposal seeks authorization to redirect that previously approved funding to satisfy the required matching contribution for a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Category 1 Grant.

The proposed redirection would only occur contingent upon the Police Department being awarded a BJA Category 3 Grant, which would fully fund the Department's existing BWC system, with no cost sharing requirement. Both the Category 1 and Category 3 grant applications are due October 27, 2025, and the Police Department intends to submit applications for both prior to the deadline. This proposal is to add the in-car camera system, pairing that system with the existing BWC system, keeping it a cost neutral program for the police department.

The City currently has an agreement with Axon Enterprises, Inc. for BWC and digital evidence storage in the Evidence.com system. The requested grant would fund an additional five-year (60 month) contract agreement with Axon Enterprises, Inc. The existing agreement would be unchanged.

If the grants are awarded and fully funded, the police department will return for council approval to accept the funding and detail the fiscal impact.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
There is a compelling need for an in-car camera system in addition to the existing BWC system that includes a digital media evidence storage system for the Police Department.

Staff conducted extensive market research on the combination of in-car cameras and BWC's and digital media storage systems and found Axon Enterprises, Inc. (Axon) to have a superior product.

APD staff have evaluated the Axon Fleet 3 Advanced with Zoll product in combination with the existing Axon Body 4 BWC product. Staff reviews of the Axon product evaluated full shift life, camera field of view assessment, cloud storage, data security, and the digital media evidence management system. Before deploying the test BWCs in the field, the police department implemented a formal policy governing their use. During the testing phase, no complaints from the community or from staff were received regarding the adopted policy.

The officers and staff found the Axon Body Camera 4 hardware and the Evidence.com digital media storage system to meet the needs of the Department. Police Department staff collaborated with Information Technology staff and determined Axon BWC system to be ITEM 8.8 PAGE2 10/21/2025
the best fit for the City. The Digital media evidence storage platform offered by Axon, called Evidence.com, meets or exceeds all the needs of the department and is the system the Police Department currently uses for digital media storage of evidence.

The system, Evidence.com, offers a cloud-based digital media storage platform that meets all Department of Justice (DOJ) mandated security requirements. The system is robust without the impression of appearing overwhelming for the end user. The Evidence.com system is compliant with the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Justice Information Service (CJIS) policy requirements.

Laws such as California Assembly Bill 7 48, peace officers' video and audio recordings disclosure, are expected to increase the need for efficient cataloging and recall of video evidence. Additionally, the need for video redaction capabilities became mandatory on July 1, 2019, as AB-748 requires the release of all BWC videos that capture a law enforcement critical incident.

The above listed successes of the acquisition and deployment of the BWC program are anticipated to be enhanced by the addition of in car camera systems provided by Axon.

Ensuring increased officer safety, evidence documentation, community transparency, and fiscal responsibility.

To ensure compliance with the City of Anderson's Purchasing Policy (Ordinance 859, adopted May 7, 2024), staff utilized the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program.

Ordinance 859 allows for an exception to standard procurement procedures through the use of "piggyback" contracts-agreements that leverage competitive bids conducted by other agencies or cooperatives.

Sourcewell conducts national, competitively solicited procurement processes that meet or exceed local and state purchasing requirements. Their analysts develop and manage Requests for Proposals (RFPs), ensuring a transparent and competitive process. This approach streamlines procurement for participating agencies while maintaining high standards for both product and vendor selection.

Since 2020, over 30 law enforcement agencies in California have used Sourcewell to purchase body-worn camera systems from Axon. By leveraging this competitively bid Sourcewell contract, the City is able to secure favorable pricing while meeting all policy and legal procurement requirements.

City staff recommends the council approve the resolution and authorize the police department application submission for the federal grant titled BJA FY25 Category 1 BodyWorn Camera Policy and Implementation Program to Support Law Enforcement Agencies, contingent on being awarded the sister, Category 3, grant which has no match fund requirement.
