ELIZABETH HOUSEHOLDER

EXHIBIT 1
CITY OF ANTIOCH
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
1 3-04-2024
I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to identify various policies and procedures that enhance opportunities for a prudent and systematic investment process. The initial step toward a prudent investment policy is to organize and formalize investment related activities. Related activities which comprise good cash management include accurate cash projection, the expeditious collection of revenue, the control of disbursements, cost effective banking relations, and a short term borrowing program which coordinates working capital requirements and investment opportunity. In concert with these requirements are the many facets of an appropriate and secure short term investment program.
II. OBJECTIVES
A. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City, followed by liquidity and yield. Each investment transaction shall seek to first ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they are from securities defaults or erosion of market value.
B. Investment decisions should not incur unreasonable investment risks in order to obtain current investment income.
C. The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. This need for investment liquidity may be tempered to the extent that the City is able to issue short term notes to meet its operating requirements.
D. The investment portfolio shall be managed to attain a market average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints and cash flow requirements, and state and local law, ordinances or resolutions that restrict the placement of short term funds.
E. Portfolio performance will be measured against a total return index with securities with similar attributes and similar average maturity, e.g., the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index.
F. The City's investment portfolio will be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks associated with concentrating investments in specific security types or in individual financial institutions.
G. While the City will not make investments for the purpose of trading or speculation as the dominant criterion, the City Treasurer shall seek to enhance total portfolio return by means of active portfolio management. The prohibition of speculative investments precludes pursuit of gain or profit through unusual risk and precludes investments primarily directed at gains or profits from conjectural fluctuations in market prices. However, as long as the original investments can be justified by their ordinary earning power, trading in response to changes in market value or market direction is a requirement of portfolio management.
H. The City adheres to the guidance provided by the "prudent investor rule", which states that, when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. I. All participants in the investment process shall act responsibly as custodians of the public trust. Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust.
Nevertheless, in a diversified portfolio, it must be recognized that occasional measured losses are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's investment return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented.
III. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY

VIII. RISK TOLERANCE
The City recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. Portfolio diversification is employed as a way to control risk.
No individual investment transaction shall be undertaken which jeopardizes the total capital position of the overall portfolio. The City Treasurer shall periodically establish guidelines and strategies to control risks of default, market price changes and illiquidity.

Antioch City Council Report
[June 25, 2024] Agenda Item# O 2
On May 23rd, 2023 the City entered a one-year agreement with ODAT and implemented the CalVIP pilot program an opportunity to extend funding for FY2024-2025 upon successful program demonstration.
Since the execution of the one-year contract in June 2023, ODAT has demonstrated successful programming by creating a strong foundation for its pilot program, Uplifting Peace, such as hiring a full-time Program Manager, full-time Neighborhood Change Agent, creating and implementing Program Tiers, creating and implementing street outreach safety protocol procedures, attending Peace Maker Fellowship trainings conducted by CalVIP Technical Assistance Aid Advance Peace, and establishing relationships with various community-based organizations and resources.
ODAT has demonstrated successful programming by continuously conducting street outreach, and initiating and establishing rapport with City of Antioch community members who are most at risk of being involved in gun violence. Once clients are identified as Peacemaker Fellows, ODAT has successfully assisted clients in linking them to community resources and providing support. The Public Safety and Community Resources Department recommends extending the contract through June 30, 2025.
ODAT currently has 4 Peacemaker Fellows. 1 Fellow is currently in Tier 2 of the program and 3 Fellows are currently in Tier 1.

SCOPE OF WORK
Consultant’s Proposal
One Day at a Time (ODAT)
PROGRAM SUPPORT, DEVELOPMENT & IMPLEMENTATION
City of Antioch
June 1, 2023 – Ju30, 2024
Key Strategies:
Through the implementation of personal and leadership development, the attainment of self- identified life goals, caring and consistent relationships with fellows and VI/IS, trauma-informed healing and the successful implementation of a culturally appropriate and evidenced-based disruption model proven to interrupt homicide, shootings, and aggravated assaults, this project will save and transform young lives and the community in which they live.
Key Objectives for Grant period June 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024 By July 31, 2023, ODAT would have partnered with Advance Peace to launch a violence interruption model based on the Advance Peace Model and the experience of ODAT with the Beyond Violence evidence-based model.
By August 31, 2023, ODAT in partnership with Advance Peace will provide project staff and leadership with training on key elements of the project, project philosophy and values, and cultural humility, care, and respect.
By August 31, 2023, ODAT will have developed project marketing and enrollment outreach strategies, and materials and begin its implementation.
By August 31, 2023, ODAT in partnership with Advance Peace will identify and orient no less than 5-7 project mentors/fellows.
By August 31, 2023, ODAT in partnership with Advance Peace will adopt the data collection and tracking system utilized by Advance Peace for all project participant and activity data collection.
Between July 1, 2023 – February 2024 – ODAT staff will conduct community outreach activities to identify participants for the project.
By March 31, 2024, ODAT in partnership with Advance Peace will have identified no less than 15 high risk participants for project participation.
ODAT will submit quarterly reports to City of Antioch per City of Antioch specifications.
Outline of proposed services:
Proposed services align with the Advance Peace Model and the Beyond Violence Model, taken from ODAT’s thirteen years of experience with this model. The proposed services will include:
Identify participants who are most at risk of being involved again with gun violence (most likely to be perpetrators or victims of gun violence and influential leaders). (ODAT is also open to serving other types of violence if the City of Antioch is also in agreement.) o Work with Advance Peace, Antioch Police Department, Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department, the County Probation Office, local churches, schools, and indigenous community agencies to identify potential participants via face-to-face outreach utilizing culturally engaging and sensitive outreach materials, tools, and engagement efforts.
Link project participants to Violence Interrupters/Intervention Specialists who will link and support them through the 12-month program. •
The Violence Interrupter/Intervention Specialist will partner with the participant to create an Individual Action Plan for each participant – with 12-month goals. o The Action Plan will be driven by the participant’s self-identified goals, desires, and dreams.
o The Violence Interrupter/Intervention Specialist will assist the participant in linking to resources to support their goals.
o The VI/IS will provide hands on assistance on how to self-navigate and advocate for resources they need to build the participants own ability to advocate on their own behalf.
o The VI/IS will track results of each connection made to resources and each participant’s achievements.
Participants will be offered daily mentorship through project fellows. o Linkage to fellows who have life experience with gun violence, incarceration, trauma and who are passionate about giving back and helping others. o Daily interactions with Project Fellows will also be collected under each participant’s plan.
Participants will be linked or provided group life skills classes to expand violence interruption pathways.
o Classes such as anger management, trauma informed care groups/counseling, etc.
Participants will be provided with internships and travel incentives to recognize participant achievement and progress on participant self-identified goals. o Visits to local colleges, job fairs, violence conferences, with potential for participants to serve as guest speakers/presenters, etc.
Participants will be provided with emergency services as needed (such as support relocating to another community, support with temporary housing, transportation, childcare, after-school care, food assistance, etc.)
How Services will lead to intended outcomes and contribute to the city’s effort to reduce violence
Through the experience ODAT has gained with Beyond Violence and the Advance Peace model, we know that the services offered will result in positive outcomes for each participant because evidence-based models are being utilized to provide service. These models are effective for the following reasons:
o The AP model identifies the highly influential individuals who are perpetrators or victims of violence and invests in their development, health, and healing rather than being punitive.
o The AP model focuses on changing highly influential individuals who have the leadership capability to influence others to make positive changes. o The AP and Beyond Violence models both focus on building trust and healing by recognizing trauma and working to heal that trauma through trauma-informed support and care.
o The AP model tailors street outreach to individuals through a Life MAP (Management Action Plan), knowing that street face-to-face outreach is one of the best strategies for reaching marginalized communities and presenting to them a positive alternative life option opportunity. The Beyond Violence Model also utilizes face-to-face outreach at the bedside as well as a patient created self- identified Action Plan.
o The AP Street outreach and Peacemaker Fellowship are organized around positive mental health and emotional regulation supports (Healthy human development and healing from unaddressed traumas that contribute to violence for the individuals in the Peacemaker Fellowship.) By healing trauma, we open the participants’ ability to choose healthier life options.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of June 25, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Michael Mellone, Lieutenant of Police
APPROVED BY: Brian Addington, Interim Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Agreement with Motorola Solutions for the Sole-Source Purchase of Handheld Two-Way Radios for Emergency Communications and the Approval of a Subscriber Services Agreement for Related Wireless Radio Services for a Total Not to Exceed $995,229.18
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to purchase 78 Motorola APX Next portable radios with five-year subscriber services agreements, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the Antioch Police Department and Code Enforcement Division personnel for a total not to exceed $995,229.18.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to purchase 78 emergency two-way radios, and five years of required subscriber services, is $995,229.18. The first installment ($497,614.59) is included in the FY 24 General Fund Police Department budget. The second installment of $497,614.59 will be paid from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds budgeted in FY25.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department has 145 portable two-way emergency radios, which are used by Police Department and Code Enforcement staff members for field communications. The Police Department was informed these radios have exceeded their serviceable life, will no longer be supported by the manufacturer, and need replacement to be brought up to current technological standards. The cost to purchase 145 radios is more than 1.7 million dollars, so staff recommends a scheduled replacement over the next four (4) years to provide reliable emergency radio communications for the Police and Code Enforcement Departments.
Staff recommends purchase of APX Next handheld radios from Motorola Solutions to help
Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item #P 2
address a communications gap in the Southwest area of the City. This area, which includes all streets and neighborhoods south of James Donlon Boulevard from the western edge of the city to Golf Course Drive, lacks reliable radio communications due to a coverage shadow created by hills adjacent to this area blocking signal from the closest radio tower located on Kregor Peak near Clayton. Police Department staff have expressed concerns about responding to calls in these areas because their radios lack reliable communications.
On December 10, 2021, Antioch Police Department (APD) officers responded to an active shooter incident on Dove Court, which is a location impacted by the lack of reliable radio communications. During the ensuing hours-long standoff, APD officers and tactical teams were unable to effectively communicate with their radios. The California Department of Justice (DOJ) recently issued a report on the incident titled Policy and Practice Recommendations for the Antioch Police Department Related to the Officer- involved Shooting of Guadalipe Zavala on December 10, 2021 Their main recommendation was for the Police Department to upgrade their radio communications equipment:
(p. 2).
The APX Next handheld radio from Motorola Solutions is able to automatically switch from our primary radio system to the FirstNet/AT&T Wireless Network to provide seamless communications, which is a feature the radios needing replacement do not have. The Police Department received five trial APX Next radios for a 30-day period. These radios were provided to Police Officers who work the Southwest area of Antioch, and they were asked to provide feedback on their reliability. The trial participants all reported the radios worked flawlessly in the identified areas lacking primary radio coverage. They also reported the APX Next radio worked inside of both major hospitals in the City Sutter Delta Medical Center and Kaiser-Sand Creek. Both hospitals, which are frequented by Police Department staff responding to and investigating both routine and emergency calls for service, are constructed of building materials that block the radio signal on existing Police Department radios, requiring officers to step outside or use their cellphones to communicate with Police Dispatch.
Police Department staff, including Patrol Officers, Detectives, and Community Service Officers, frequently leave our primary radio coverage area to conduct follow-up investigations, prisoner and citizen transports from other facilities, and training. With our existing radios, they would have to use cellphones to call the Police Department Dispatch Center and ask their messages to be relayed to other Officers and supervisors. This creates a delay in communication, which impacts supervisor and Officer awareness. The APX Next radios the Police Department wishes to purchase will operate throughout California where FirstNet and AT&T Wireless provide service, which greatly expands our existing coverage area, and assists with mutual aid response to disaster areas throughout the State.
The Motorola APX Next handheld radio has global positioning system (GPS) technology which would allow Police Dispatchers and supervisors to locate an Officer immediately.
This feature is not available on existing Police Department radios needing replacement, and enhances Officer safety, supervision, and assists with location of lost or stolen Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item #P 3
devices.
The Police Department, like all municipal public safety agencies in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties receive primary emergency radio service from the East Bay Regional Communications System Authority (EBRCSA). The Motorola APX Next handheld radio is the only device compatible with the existing radio infrastructure used by the EBRCSA.
Staff requests authorization to enter into a sole-source purchase agreement with Motorola Solutions, since other radio manufacturers do not have this compatibility.
It is the intent of staff to request additional City Council approval in subsequent years to continue this planned replacement of Police and Code Enforcement radios.

BACKGROUND
The City of Antioch belongs to the Contra Costa County HOME Consortium, comprised of the cities of Antioch, Concord, Walnut Creek, Pittsburg, and the County on behalf of the other cities and areas. Each jurisdiction within the Consortium receives a separate allocation of CDBG funds from the federal
government for housing and community development activities, and HOME funds for affordable housing development. The Consortium members pool their allocations of HOME funds with the County for administration to create a larger pool to help leverage the greatest amount of funds possible to create affordable housing in the County.
To receive federal funds, the Consortium must submit a strategic plan of three or five years, known as the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan outlines the existing and future housing and community development needs and sets forth the strategies the Consortium will undertake and prioritize for using federal funds to address those needs.
The City of Antioch and all Consortium jurisdictions approved the five-year 2020-2025 Contra Costa Consortium Consolidated Plan in May 2020.
Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item 10 3
The five-year Consolidated Plan is divided into a two-year funding cycle, followed by a three-year funding cycle. FY 20-21 and 21-22 comprise the two-year cycle, and FY 22- 23, 23-24, and 24-25 comprise the three- for FY 2024-
25 is the third year of the three-year funding and final year of the Consolidated Plan. In this year, no new applications for funding were accepted and contracts are eligible for renewal at the discretion of the City Council.
Public Comment
In accordance with HUD regulations, a public notice was published on May 25, 2024 in the East Bay Times providing availability of the FY 2024-25 Action Plan and funding, allowing 30 days for public comment on the Action Plan. The CDBG Standing Committee also received public comments at its two meetings. Public comment from the CDBG Committee meetings and those received by this writing are included in Attachment.
Affordable Housing Funding and Projects
This year the City collaborated with the County to put out a joint Request for Proposals (RFP) for affordable housing projects. The RFP was made available in September 2023 and proposals were received in December. The County received over $100 million in requests but had only $23,888,923 available across all funding sources.
The City of Antioch received three proposals, one of which was incomplete and withdrawn. The two remaining proposals were from Hope Solutions and Novin Development, which requested a total of $9.5 million in City of Antioch funding. The Housing division initially expected to make available up to $6 million in Housing Successor and PLHA funds. That changed due to various factors that affect the demand for Housing Successor and PLHA funding. After examining all permitted uses over all currently available funding streams, the current recommendation of the CDBG Committee is for $3 million in Housing Successor funding and $1,064,810 in CDBG for a total of $4,064,810 for affordable housing development at this time, with further CDBG funding that will be recommended in the next five-year Consolidated Plan period.
Following is an outline of the two proposals:
1. Hope Solutions for Hope Village Antioch at 3195 Contra Loma Blvd, proposed new construction of permanent supportive housing
Total 22 unit village on 2.17 acre parcel, with 11 one-bedroom, 10 two- bedroom, and 1 three-bedroom units for unhoused families and singles at or below 50% AMI, including 5 units affordable at 30% AMI. Additional auxiliary building for office and community space as well as a two-bedroom live-in residential manager unit. Units will be factory built to complete project quickly.
Developer is purchasing land from First Family Church
Total project estimated at $12,747,638. Request is for $1,980,205 County Measure X, $2 million Antioch Housing Successor, and $2 million Antioch Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item 10 4
PLHA, total $8,177,740 combined city/county request, $4 million Antioch funding.
Expected construction start date if all funding is obtained early 2026 with expected completion late 2026.
Professional services provided by Hope Solutions
2. Novin Development for Grace Commons at 3415 Oakley Road, proposed new construction of permanent supportive rental housing.
Total 80 units with 43 restricted to households with incomes at 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI), 11 units at 50% AMI, and 25 units at 60% AMI plus 1 manager unit.
Project is partnership with Grace Bible Fellowship with a 99-year ground lease at $1/year on a 1.3 acre parcel, part of a 9 acre campus owned by the church.
Total project estimated at $50,871,308. Request was for $2 million County Measure X, $3 million Antioch Housing Successor, $2.5 million Antioch PLHA, total $7.5 million combined city/county request, $5.5 million Antioch funding.
Expected construction start date if all funding is obtained 4/30/2025, with expected completion 10/31/2026.
Developer requests $750,000 of the City funding as project predevelopment grant or loan to support soft costs related to civil, architecture, environmental, traffic engineering, and legal counsel related to project entitlement, as well as community engagement, to prepare for June 2024 Super NOFA application.
County Funding Although Hope Solutions was recommended for funding for one project in another city, and Novin Development for two projects in other cities, neither of their Antioch projects were recommended. Securing local (City of Antioch) funding is considered by all funders, including the County, to be a baseline of project preparedness and all Antioch projects scored low in this category without approved funding. With local funding application as well as for other funding sources from the State and other entities.
The Board of Supervisors will be making their decision on allocations on June 25, 2024.
CDBG Standing Committee
Council Members Tamisha Torres-Walker (District 1) and Mike Barbanica (District 2) comprised the CDBG Standing Committee, which met on March 28 and June 13, 2024.
At the first meeting the federal allocations had not yet been announced. This delayed the Antioch project proponents had applied. It also meant that the Committee could not consider the 2024-25 funding allocations. Instead, they reviewed the two housing Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item 10 5
applications and heard 10-minute presentations from Hope Solutions and Novin Development for their proposed housing projects as well as public comments.
At the second meeting, Committee members
recommendations and revised staff recommendations, brief updates from the Hope Solutions and Novin teams, and again heard public comments.
Action #1 Housing Successor funding for affordable housing production and resolution
The CDBG Standing Committee recommends that Council approve Housing Successor funding most of those units, with an allocation of $1.5 million to Hope Solutions for Hope Village and $1.5 million to Novin Development for Grace Commons. This Housing Successor funding will not be able to be expended until January 2025 to meet MTC/TOC requirements, but the funding commitment will allow the developers to more successfully compete for other funding sources in the next two years.
The Committee also recommends that Council approve the maximum permitted amount of $250,000 in Housing Successor funding for homeless services including the Safe Parking Program, legal services, homeless CORE dispatch and 2-1-1 homeless services, as well as emergency rental and housing assistance, as well as up to the maximum of $250,000 for administration/staffing of the housing programs, for a total of $4,050,000.
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City of Antioch as the Housing Successor to the Antioch Development Agency approve the funding recommendations of the CDBG Committee and adopt the Resolution approving $4,050,000 in Housing Successor funding for homeless services, administration, and development of affordable housing outlined in the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan (Attachment ).
Action #2 Substantial Amendment to Reallocate CDBG funds The CDBG Standing Committee recommends that Council repurpose $610,896 in unspent prior year CDBG funds awarded to the Downtown Roadway Project which constitutes a Substantial Amendment to the prior year Action Plan.
In 2023 the Downtown Roadway project received an extra $550,000 from the Housing Revolving Loan Fund, increasing the allocation for that project to $1,485,988. The City had to spend these funds or it would exceed the amount of CDBG funds permitted to be unexpended as of May 1st each year. This would have triggered sanctions from HUD.
Those housing funds were utilized for the Roadway project in March and April 2023. This action was approved by Council on February 28, 2023. Repurposing roadway funds for housing purposes allows the City to honor the original intent of the housing funds that had Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item 10 6
to be reallocated. Using for Housing also means that the funds become a loan, not a grant, which will enable further projects to be funded in the future.
The reallocated funds to be used for Affordable Housing would have to be utilized by April 30, 2025 to keep the City from exceeding the maximum cap, just as before.
The City has been allocating funding to the Downtown roadway project for almost 20 years, and Mr. Buenting has indicated that most of the reconstruction work has now been accomplished.
CDBG funds are NOT eligible to be used for roadway maintenance, only for roadway reconstruction and accompanying curb cuts.
Various Councilmembers have indicated an eagerness to use the CDBG funding for other purposes.
For the new Consolidated Plan for 2025-30, staff will be recommending that CDBG funding be used for affordable housing purposes to the greatest extent possible providing that they can be expended in a timely manner, with Roadway as a second priority when at all possible.
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City Council approve the funding recommendations of the CDBG Committee and adopt the resolution approving the substantial amendments of the FY 2023-24 Action Plan Downtown Roadway Project to reallocate $395,436.34 and the FY 2021-22 Action Plan to reallocate $215,549.85 remaining funds in the Downtown Roadway Project for a total of $610,896.19 to be utilized for the development of affordable supportive housing for extremely low-income and homeless households .
Action #32024-25 Action Plan
CDBG Entitlement Funding- The Committee is recommending $879,893 in 2024-25 CDBG entitlement funds, $645,614 in PLHA, and $82,807 in EECBG funding (total $1,608,314). This is in addition to $610,896 in CDBG Reallocated funding from Action #2, $184,970 approved in a prior year action, and $4,050,000 from Action #1, for a total of all funds to be committed in 2024-25 of $6,454,180. The Action Plan represents the entire scope of all funding to be invested by the City in the coming year as it is submitted to HUD to achieve High priority needs and goals for the City.

24-25 is $879,893, an increase of
$64,699 from the FY 2023-24 allocation of $815,194. Of these funds, CDBG Public Services are capped by HUD regulations at 15% of the grant amount plus 15% of the prior year (FY 2023-24) program income which was $0. Public Service activities are being recommended at $130,000 and fall within these parameters.
Administration of the CDBG program is capped at 20% of the grant amount which is $175,979 plus 20% of the grant fiscal year (FY 2024-25) program income (estimated to be $0.) The allocation for Administration is $175,979.
CDBG-CV Funding Council has previously approved the allocation of remaining CV funding to provide in-house fair housing, tenant/landlord, and renter assistance.

This includes Fair Housing testing of Antioch apartment complexes including hiring of testers and analysis of data, as well as the robust response to renter and landlord inquiries the City now enjoys from a full-time housing counselor
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) PLHA funds in the amount of $645,614 are being recommended for some of the eligible Homeless services ($165,000) as well as for Housing Rehabilitation ($460,000). PLHA funding will have to pick up the majority of Housing Rehabilitation in future years, as the Housing Successor funding will be exhausted by the end of 2028 by design, as the City meets its remaining obligations to the Successor agency to provide affordable housing for lower income residents. However, the annual allocation of PLHA funds is projected to be approximately $250,000 to $350,000 annually so additional funds will have to be sought to augment the greater
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) The City is anticipating a grant from the Department of Energy of $165,614 of which $82,807 is available each year for two years. Of this, $75,000 is recommended for use with the housing rehabilitation program to provide energy-related repairs such as HVAC units, stock and reduce housing costs for lower income households, while $7,807 can be used for administration and compliance.
Housing Successor funding As previously mentioned, the Housing Successor funding of $4,050,000 which was considered in Action 1 supports affordable housing ($3,000,000), homeless services ($250,000) and administration (up to $250,000).
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City Council approve the funding recommendations of the CDBG Committee and adopt the resolution approving the FY 2024-25 City of Antioch Action Plan which encompasses CDBG Entitlement funds, prior year reallocated funds, use of CDBG-CV funds, PLHA, EECBG and Housing Successor funds totaling Antioch City Council Report

June 13, 2024 CDBG Committee meeting
Housing Project Public Comments and Responses (CDBG & Housing Successor Funds)
Leslie MayRe Hope Solutions, question are they working with Contra Costa Mental Health? How many units, and how many for homeless? How many years do they have to pay back any funds is a concern? Very familiar with Hope Grace Commons. If no track record other than church (housing & services) that concerns me. Also how many years to pay back those funds. Has Novin had prior funding?
Andrew BeckerStruggle to bring information to the community, feels this is a disconnected approach. City spent money to upgrade the facilities (City Council Chamber) ? Packet does not
what these projects are. Grace Commons, asking money from the City but they , is unfair. Need to present better.
Questions to staff and presenters from Council clarified the following for public comments:
Novin and Hope Solutions did detailed presentation last meeting where all details were presented including the number of units at various levels of income, with majority for homeless, veterans.
Hope Solutions is 22 doors/households, estimate 95
maximum allowed. Money will be used for development of the units. Total costs are $17 million in budget, fill gap with capital campaign, going back next year to the County, other sources. Estimated date to build out is 2026, 2027.
Need to gain site control and have to have local investment to raise other investments. Agency has done this before in Grace Presbyterian in Walnut Creek, Pittsburg just recommended for funding from County and City of Pittsburg plus vouchers from Housing Authority. Grace Pres ($2.5 million) project is funded (and going forward. Pittsburg ($9M for 15 units o Council questions to Staff & answers CDBG funds for purchasing property, tangible asset
used to secure additional funds to leverage other funds. Would probably draw when they start needing to pay the city for entitlements.
Tabora Gardens took almost 10 years to secure all funds, typical is 5-7 years. If they secure property with tax payer money, purchase land, our security is a loan, and the land is an asset. The loan agreements are drawn up by legal council. Have 7 previous projects, not one has failed. Need local commitment to gain additional millions of investment in our County. Loan should be secured against property. HS will move as quickly as funds allow as there is urgent need. This is permanent housing with supportive services, no limit on how long they stay.
Support if and when they want to move on. Tenant screening will be inclusive of persons who are discharged from prison. Coordinated Entry will be doing the placement, through County system, individuals assessed for vulnerability, case workers determine who is best fit for every unit. Target population is unhoused folks, variety of challenges including legal system contact, mental health, etc. Anyone from County could be placed, not restricted to Antioch residents due to fair housing laws. Likely a high proportion of Antioch residents because of PIT count shows Antioch highest area.
o Grace Commons 80 units, 200+ people. This is a big project, cost is $45-50 million, 3 story. Funding is coming from capital campaign by church which has been successful for all structures on the property, County, State applications, federal, large tech companies. Novin Development has 14 projects, 6 in Bay Area, one in Santa Cruz, Pleasanton, has track record to support the scale of the development, which is more easily funded by County & State. Church is committed to the project and fundraising. Separate organization from Concord to do property management and services, with church as secondary provider of services. Land to be leased from Grace for 99 years and has agreement, City agreement is contract to ensure affordability levels for 55 years.
CDBG Action Plan Public Comment
Andrew Becker PLHA funding, why are we not dedicating more PLHA $ for homeless funding - can amend plan to spend more money on homeless services. Would like dollars for pallet shelters, need more funding. He is frustrated with not getting notification of the meeting as he is on a contact list when agendas are posted. Housing Consultant connecting developers, he or called back.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of June 25, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS
SUBJECT: Introduce the Ordinance Adding Chapter 4 to Title 4 (Public Safety) of the Antioch Municipal Code Relating to:
(1) Organizing, Advertising, and Being a Spectator at Street Racing, Sideshows, and Reckless Driving Exhibitions OR
(2) Organizing and Advertising Street Racing, Sideshows, and Reckless Driving Exhibitions
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce, waive the first reading, and read by title only the proposed ordinance:
1. Adding Chapter 4 to Title 4 (Public Safety) to the Antioch Municipal Code, which prohibits organizing, advertising, and being a spectator at street racing, sideshows, and reckless driving exhibitions (Attachment A to the Staff Report)
OR
2. Adding Chapter 4 to Title 4 (Public Safety) to the Antioch Municipal Code, which prohibitsorganizing and advertisingstreet racing, sideshows, and reckless driving exhibitions (Attachment B to the Staff Report)
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
DISCUSSION
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) criminalizes engaging in motor vehicle speed contests, speed exhibitions, and reckless driving, including aiding and abetting these activities. Under state law, violators are guilty of a misdemeanor and can face penalties including up to 90 days in jail, a fine of $1,000, or both, 40 hours of community service, and suspension of a perpetrator’s driver’s license for three to six months. Increased penalties are imposed on repeat violators or violations resulting in serious bodily injury.
Despite law enforcement efforts to enforce the existing State regulations, the City’s
Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item#12 2
streets have been the site of continuing illegal sideshows, speed contests, and exhibitions of speed over several years. These events attract spectators. The presence of spectators encourages street racing to continue, which creates a public nuisance that generates noise, air pollution, an increase in traffic accidents, property crimes and damage, personal injuries, deaths, and calls for law enforcement and emergency medical services.
California DMV reported a significant increase in 2021 in the number of reckless driving citations statewide and an 80% increase in excessive speed violations. The California Highway Patrol has reported as of May 2023 that, in the past five years, 264 collisions statewide attributed to street racing and sideshows, resulting in 30 fatalities and 124 serious injuries. Therefore, illegal street racing poses an imminent risk to the health and safety of participants, spectators, and the general public.
1. State Law Provides Legal Accountability for Drivers in Sideshows and Street Races
The existing penalties for drivers in sideshows and street races are extensive. The California Vehicle Code (“CVC”) makes it illegal to engage in the following conduct on all public streets and offstreet parking facilities:
Motor vehicle speed contests, where one vehicle races against another vehicle or against a clock, on public highways are prohibited (CVC § 23109(a)).
Aiding or abetting motor vehicle speed contests is prohibited (CVC § 23109(b)).
Motor vehicle speed exhibitions are prohibited (CVC § 23109(b)(c)).
Driving on a highway with deliberate disregard for the safety of persons or property is prohibited (Section 23103(a)).
Driving on an off-street parking facility with deliberate disregard for the safety of persons or property is prohibited (CVC § 23103 (b)).
The California Vehicle Code allows a police officer to arrest a person and seize their motor vehicle if the police officer determines that the person engaged in these illegal activities.
Police can impound the vehicle for up to 30 days (CVC § 23109(h)).
Arrests and/or citations for sideshow or speed racing drivers may lead to driver’s license suspension. Vehicles are also subject to inspection for modifications to the engine or smog emissions devices, which can lead to out of service orders placed on vehicles.
Vehicles placed out of service are often required to be inspected by the State Referee and repairs can be costly.
2. Antioch City Council Discussions
On November 14, 2023, the City Council considered, as a discussion item, a proposed ordinance prohibiting spectators at illegal street races, sideshows, or reckless driving exhibitions on or in public highways or offstreet parking facilities within the City. During that discussion, the City Council provided direction that the Council did not want to criminalize the act of being a spectator at an illegal race, instead Council sought to focus on the actions of more culpable individuals, such as individuals who may directly organize or advertise such activities.
On February 27, 2024, the City Council introduced by title only and waived further reading Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item#12 3
of an Ordinance that would prohibit advertising or organizing various types of illegal street races, sideshows, or reckless driving exhibitions on or in public highways or offstreet parking facilities within the City. On motion by Councilmember Torres-Walker, seconded by Councilmember Barbanica, the City Council unanimously introduced by title only and waived further reading of the ordinance.
At the March 12, 2024 meeting, the City Council did not adopt the ordinance adding Chapter 4 to Title 4 (Public Safety) of the Antioch Municipal Code, which prohibits organizing or advertising street racing, sideshows, and reckless driving exhibitions. No action was taken on the ordinance because several councilmembers believed that the proposed ordinance was not strong enough to be effective in reducing sideshow activities.
3. A City Ordinance Can Provide Legal Accountability for Organizers, Advertisers and Spectators at Sideshows, Street Races, and Reckless Driving Exhibitions
The City Attorney’s Office has now provided two ordinances for the City Council’s consideration. Both ordinances contain proactive measures to discourage illegal sideshows, street races, and exhibitions of speed within the City, by regulating the organizing or advertising of such activities. The following activities would be specifically prohibited by both ordinances:
Knowingly organizing a street race, sideshow, reckless driving exhibition, or exhibition of speed conducted within the City on a public street, highway, or in an offstreet parking facility.
Advertising, within the City, a street race, sideshow, or exhibition of speed conducted or to be conducted in the City on a public street, highway, or in an offstreet parking facility.
Advertising online, including on social media, a street race, sideshow, or exhibition of speed conducted or to be conducted in the City on a public street, highway, or in an offstreet parking facility.
The ordinance’s definition of a spectator would apply to those who are found within 200 feet of the location of a sideshow, street race, or the site of the preparations for these activities, for the purpose of viewing, observing, watching, or witnessing the event as it progresses.
In addition, the ordinance in Attachment Acontains accountability measures for spectators at sideshows, street racing, and reckless driving exhibitions, which the ordinance in Attachment Bdoes not contain.
Implementing this sideshow and street racing organizer, advertiser and spectator ordinance would substantially broaden the scope of individuals held legally accountable for sideshows and street races beyond the drivers participating in the event. A sideshow and street racing organizer, advertiser and spectator ordinance would prohibit promotion of, preparation for, participation in, and attendance as a spectator at sideshows or street races.
The ordinance would discourage organizing and being a spectator at illegal sideshows or street races by providing proper notice of unlawful activities to citizens, addressing a clear, identifiable, and limited population, and holding individuals accountable for Antioch City Council Report
June 25, 2024 Agenda Item#12 4
promoting, preparing, participating in, and being a spectator at sideshows.
This ordinance would assist the City in taking enforcement action against those who park their vehicles in a position that interferes with traffic by blocking an intersection to set the stage for a sideshow or street race. For example, these spectators could be held accountable for being an integral part of the production by having their cars seized.
The ordinance targets a clear, limited population and gives proper notice to individuals as to which activities are lawful and which activities are unlawful. Advertising illegal activity is not constitutionally protected speech. The ordinance includes proper exclusions to prevent interference with or inhibition of any lawful exercise of constitutionally protected rights of freedom of press and freedom of speech.
The ordinance may reduce the probability of accidents, injuries, and death caused by sideshows. It may also protect against damage to private property, homes, and vehicles.
The ordinance may also alleviate harmful health and environmental impacts, such as the trauma and stress created by sideshow noise and air pollution.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANTIOCH DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true, correct, and incorporated by reference as if set forth in full herein.
Section 2. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Ordinance is to discourage and prevent street racing, sideshows, reckless driving exhibitions, and related activities by prohibiting persons from being involved as organizers, advertisers, or spectators of such events and providing appropriate enforcement measures to protect the public and deter this illegal activity.

4-4.101 Findings and Purpose
A. The streets within the City have been the site of continuing illegal sideshows, speed contests, and exhibitions of speed over several years despite law enforcement efforts to prevent and abate these illegal events through the enforcement of existing traffic laws. Illegal motor vehicle sideshows, speed contests and exhibitions of speed are fueled by the activities of organizers, advertisers, and spectators. Often, such events generate profit for their organizers and advertisers.
The events are a public nuisance emitting air pollution, including noxious odors, and noise pollution. The events also create an environment in which illegal activities can fester. Therefore, the intent and purpose of this Chapter is to discourage organization and advertising of illegal motor vehicle sideshows, speed contests, and exhibitions of speed in the City. It also aims to discourage the presence of spectators at these events.
B. This Chapter targets a clear, limited population and gives proper notice to individuals as to which activities are lawful and which activities are unlawful.

4-4.101. Findings and Purpose
A. The streets within the City have been the site of continuing illegal sideshows, speed contests, and exhibitions of speed over several years despite law enforcement efforts to prevent and abate these illegal events through the enforcement of existing traffic laws. Illegal motor vehicle sideshows, speed contests and exhibitions of speed are fueled by the activities of organizers and advertisers. Often, such events generate profit for their organizers and advertisers. The events are a public nuisance emitting air pollution, including noxious odors, and noise pollution. The events also create an environment in which illegal activities can fester. Therefore, the intent and purpose of this Chapter is to discourage organization and advertising of illegal motor vehicle sideshows, speed contests, and exhibitions of speed in the City.
B. This Chapter targets a clear, limited population and gives proper notice to individuals as to which activities are lawful and which activities are unlawful. The quantity of people exposed to dangers associated with participating in and being a spectator at illegal sideshows, street races, and exhibitions of speed is likely to be decreased by discouraging organizers and advertisers from being involved with such events in the City.
C. This Chapter is not intended to interfere with or inhibit any exercise of constitutionally protected rights of freedom of press and freedom of speech such as (but not limited to) peaceful expressions of political or religious opinions, not involving offensive personal conduct. The City Council finds and declares that advertisements for illegal events such as street racing, motor vehicle sideshows, speed contests, and exhibitions of speed are not legally protected speech.
D. This Chapter is intended to compliment state laws governing the regulation of speed contests, exhibitions of speed, and sideshows. This Chapter is not intended to preempt state laws governing the regulation of illegal motor vehicle sideshows, speed contests, and exhibitions of speed events.
