CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 14,
2026
ITEM NO: 9C.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: City Financial Report - July 2026
FROM: Jamie Murguia, Finance Director
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:

Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with Artesia Municipal Code (AMC) 2-4.705 (f), the attached Finance Report details the activity and balance for all City of Artesia ("City") accounts and funds as of July 31, 2026. Reports are reconciled for cash on hand (bank) to cash recorded in the general ledger through the period ending July 31, 2026.

Activity for Money Market, Checking, Revolving, Cafeteria, Local Agency Investment Fund, CDBG, and Petty Cash are provided for review. Fund Balances compare the cash to each fund's obligation. The balance of the individual accounts and funds should be read with the understanding that cash on hand, is not cash available for unplanned expenditures. The cash balance encompasses the City's contingency reserves, operating expenditures, and monies kept in restricted use funds including Trust and Agency. The City is debt-free; therefore, the finance report does not include any debt activity.

ANALYSIS:

The City is the recipient of several reimbursable grants. This means that, while the City has been awarded funding projects, the City must front the cost of those projects with General Fund revenue, and request reimbursement from the respective grantor as each project progresses.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026 ITEM NO: 9E.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Three-Year Agreement with SoundThinking, Inc. for ShotSpotter Gunshot Detection, Location, and Forensic Analysis Services
FROM: Mario Flores, Management Analyst
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:

Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Director
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a three-year agreement with SoundThinking, Inc. for ShotSpotter gunshot detection, location, and forensic analysis services, with a first-year cost of $40,000 and subsequent annual costs of $49,500, for a total contract amount not to exceed $139,000 over the three-year term, and authorize the City Manager to execute the master services agreement and any related documents.

BACKGROUND:

The Artesia City Council has consistently identified public safety as a top priority and continues to invest in measures that enhance law enforcement capabilities, deter criminal activity, and protect the community. The City of Artesia ("City") contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) for law enforcement services, including a Special Assignment Operations team and a Sergeant dedicated exclusively to the City. In July 2025, the City Council approved a Citywide security services agreement with Southwest Patrol to provide an ongoing presence that supports law enforcement. Since 2025, the City has also implemented a total of 15 Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras to strengthen crime prevention and investigative capabilities.

As part of the City's continued investment in public safety technology, the City budgeted $40,000 in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for the expansion of ALPR technology. Following further analysis of the City's existing public safety technology, staff determined that the City already has significant ALPR coverage throughout Artesia. Based on this assessment, staff identified an opportunity to direct the budgeted funding toward a complementary technology that addresses a different public safety need.

At the direction of the City Council, staff subsequently evaluated gunshot detection technology and determined that ShotSpotter service would provide a valuable enhancement to the City's existing public safety technology portfolio. The proposed system is designed to detect and precisely locate gunfire in near real time, providing law enforcement with additional information to support faster response, evidence collection, investigative efforts, and officer safety.

Alignment with Fiscal Year 2026-27 Goals
Goal(s): No. 2: Prioritize High Quality Public Safety Services The procurement of ShotSpotter will provide additional tools to LASD to be used to provide better response time to gunshots and enhance public safety in the community.

ANALYSIS:

Under the proposed agreement, the City would receive ShotSpotter coverage for an approximate one-square-mile area. Staff structured the proposed Shotspotter coverage area to provide near city-wide coverage, including all areas within Artesia City limits north of the 91 Freeway. The service would complement the City's existing law enforcement resources and ALPR network by providing technology specifically focused on the detection and location of gunfire.

ShotSpotter utilizes acoustic sensors to detect potential gunfire and transmits detected incidents to SoundThinking's 24/7/365 Incident Review Center for automated and human review. Verified alerts are then provided to authorized law enforcement personnel with information including the location, number of shots fired, and incident audio. The system is designed to provide alerts in less than 60 seconds, allowing LASD personnel to respond more quickly, improve situational awareness, locate potential victims and evidence, and support subsequent investigations. Deputies already have access to software on department-issued computers and cell phones as other jurisdictions within the LASD service area are already utilizing ShotSpotter technology. The technology can also help distinguish potential gunfire from other loud noises and provide responding personnel with precise information about the location and characteristics of an incident. By providing near real-time information that may not otherwise be available through 911 calls, the system is intended to serve as a supplemental tool to support law enforcement response and investigative efforts.

The proposed three-year subscription would cost $40,000 in the first year and $49,500 annually in years two and three, for a total contract cost of $139,000. The proposed service would provide LASD and the City with an additional real-time investigative and response tool that can complement existing law enforcement resources and enhance situational awareness during potential gunfire incidents. Staff believes the subscription represents a valuable investment in public safety by providing timely information information that can support faster response, evidence collection, follow-up investigations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed three-year subscription has a total contract cost $139,000, consisting of $40,000 for the first year and $49,500 annually for the second and third years. The City has appropriated $40,000 in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for an ALPR expansion. However, based on staff's assessment that the City's existing ALPR coverage is adequate, staff recommends transitioning the allocated funding to the ShotSpotter subscription. The City would budget $49,500 annually in the following two Fiscal Year budgets.

All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States ADDENDUM ONE - SHOTSPOTTER® SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS
This Addendum One (“Addendum One”) to the SoundThinking™, Inc. Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between SoundThinking, Inc. (“SoundThinking”) and the City of Artesia, CA (“Customer”) is effective of even date with the Agreement.

The following provisions are expressly added to and made a part of the Agreement for the purposes of further defining the ShotSpotter® Subscription Services and terms of use. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum One and the Agreement, this Addendum One shall control:

In consideration of the Parties’ mutual covenants and promises set forth in this Addendum One, the Parties Agree as follows:

Section numbers correspond to the section numbers in the Agreement.

Section 2 DEFINITIONS
ShotSpotter
Insight means the internet portal to which Customer will have access to Reviewed Alerts with respect to the ShotSpotter® Gunshot Detection, Location, and Forensics System.

Coverage Area means the area in square miles covered by the ShotSpotter Services as set forth in Exhibit A and increase to the Coverage Area as agreed to in writing between the Parties.

Reviewed Alerts means the data reviewed by SoundThinking’s incident review staff related to gunfire incidents detected by the ShotSpotter Gunshot Detection, Location, and Forensic Analysis Service.

Section 3 SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
ShotSpotter
B. SoundThinking will install the ShotSpotter System in the Coverage Area specified in Exhibit A attached to the Agreement. SoundThinking will host the Subscription Services and may update the functionality and Software of the Subscription Services from time to time at its sole discretion and in accordance with the Agreement and this Addendum One.

C. SoundThinking will be responsible for determining the location(s) for installation of acoustic sensor(s) (the “Sensors”) that detect gunshot-like sounds, and obtaining permission from the premises owner/property manager/lessee. Customer agrees to provide reasonable assistance to SoundThinking in obtaining such permission. SoundThinking owns and is responsible for maintenance of the Sensors.

D. The ShotSpotter System acoustic Sensor may use wired, wireless, or cellular wireless communications which necessitates the existence of a real-time data communications channel from each Sensor to the SoundThinking hosted servers via a commercial carrier.

ADDENDUM ONE ǀ Page 2 of 11
Copyright © 2026 SoundThinking, Inc. – Confidential
All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States The unavailability or deterioration of the quality of such wired, wireless, or wireless cellular communications may impact the ability of SoundThinking to provide the Subscription Services. In such circumstances SoundThinking will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternate wired or wireless cellular communications or adjust the Coverage Area as necessary. In the event SoundThinking is unable to do so, SoundThinking will terminate the ShotSpotter Subscription Services and refund a pro-rata portion of the annual Subscription Services fee to Customer.

E. SoundThinking will provide Customer with user documentation, online help, written or recorded video training material, and other applicable documentation (as available).

F. SoundThinking will provide reasonable efforts to respond via email to requests for support relating to incident classification as defined in the Support Level Matrix provided at Attachment A.

G. During the term of the Agreement, SoundThinking will provide real-time gunfire analysis and alert services. After an explosive (or impulsive) sound triggers enough Sensors that an incident is detected and located, audio from the incident is sent to SoundThinking’s Incident Review Center (IRC) via secure, high-speed network connections for real-time qualification. Within seconds, a SoundThinking professional reviewer analyzes audio data and recordings to confirm gunfire or explosions. The qualified alert is then sent directly to the Customer’s dispatch center, PSAP, mobile/patrol officers, and any other relevant safety or security personnel, as determined by the Customer. The SoundThinking IRC will review gunfire incidents as further defined in Attachment A to this Addendum One.

H. The ShotSpotter Subscription Services shall consist of (i) providing access to the Customer of Reviewed Alerts delivered via the Insight password-protected internet portal and user interface supplied by SoundThinking; (ii) providing Customer access to historical Reviewed Alerts and incident information via the ShotSpotter Software; and (iii) other services as specified in the Agreement and its Exhibits or this Addendum One.

I. SoundThinking will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to support requests as set forth in the Support Level Matrix provided at Attachment A to this Addendum One.

These requests may be made to SoundThinking through one of the following methods: 1) email to [email protected]; 2) Live Chat through the ShotSpotter Subscription Services applications: 3) A phone call to SoundThinking’s Customer Support organization at 888.274.6877, option 4. These are the only methods SoundThinking will receive and respond to support requests.

Tier 1 (as defined in the Support Matrix included at Attachment A). A SoundThinking Customer Support specialist will be responsible for receiving Customer reports of missed incidents, or errors in the Subscription Services, and, to the extent practicable over email or telephone, making commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Customer in resolving the Customer’s reported problems. In the event the problem cannot be resolved within 24 hours, requiring further research and troubleshooting, SoundThinking will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the issue within seventy-two (72) hours of receipt of the report. In the event that the ShotSpotter Subscription Service is fully ADDENDUM ONE ǀ Page 3 of 11
Copyright © 2026 SoundThinking, Inc. – Confidential
All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States nonfunctional, and it is not due to power outage or other reasons that are outside of SoundThinking’s control, SoundThinking will work continuously to restore functionality of the Subscription Services in accordance with the standard ShotSpotter user documentation provided with the Subscription Services as soon as reasonably possible, and no later than seventy-two (72) hours of receipt of the report.

J. FORENSIC REPORTS.
i. Investigative Lead Summary (“ILS”). SoundThinking provides an on-demand report available through the ShotSpotter Application. The Investigative Lead Summary (ILS) provides useful details about the approximate location, timing, and sequence of each shot fired during an incident. The ILS is very valuable on scene, and may help law enforcement find shell casings, confirm witness accounts, and streamline investigations. ILS reports are available immediately after an incident occurs via the mobile, web, or desktop ShotSpotter application. The machine-generated ILS is primarily intended as an investigative aid rather than courtroom evidence. However, SoundThinking does offer Certified Business Records of ILS reports, which may be useful in court for limited purposes, without the need to call a witness. ii. Detailed Forensic Report (“DFR”). If requested by Customer, SoundThinking will provide a DFR for any ShotSpotter-detected incidents, including Reviewed Alerts. The DFR is intended to be a court-admissible document used by attorneys as part of a court case for the exact, verified timing, sequence and location of each shot fired. Secondarily, the DFR is available for use by law enforcement to obtain a search warrant or to investigate an Officer Involved Shooting.

DFRs must be requested in writing and addressed to the SoundThinking Customer Support Department. Requests may be submitted via the Forensics Services page under the Law Enforcement tab on SoundThinking’s website (www.soundthinking.com). SoundThinking will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a DFR within ten (10) business days of receipt of the request.

K. EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES.

SoundThinking offers reasonable expert witness services, including Reviewed Alerts. While forensic support is generally provided at no charge, other than Customer reimbursement for actual and reasonable travel and lodging costs, the Parties agree that unusually frequent, timeconsuming, or complex requests may require compensation at a rate of $350 per hour, or the maximum rate allowed by law for Expert Witness testimony. If requested to provide such services by Customer, SoundThinking will invoice the Customer for the number of hours expended to prepare for and provide expert witness testimony upon completion of the services.

Customer understands that SoundThinking undertakes to provide individuals whose qualifications are sufficient for such services, but does not warrant that any person or his or her opinion will be accepted by every court. SoundThinking requires at least fourteen (14) days prior notice of such a requirement in writing from the Customer. Customer must include dates, times, specific locations, and a point of contact for SoundThinking personnel. Due to the nature of legal proceedings, SoundThinking cannot guarantee that its services described in this ADDENDUM ONE ǀ Page 4 of 11
Copyright © 2026 SoundThinking, Inc. – Confidential
All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States section shall produce the outcome, legal or otherwise, which Customer desires. Payment for expert witness services described shall be due and payable when services are rendered and invoiced regardless of the outcome of the proceedings.

Section 4 INITIAL TERM AND RENEWAL
ShotSpotter
A. Commencement of ShotSpotter Subscription Services. The initial term of the ShotSpotter Subscription Services shall commence on the date that the ShotSpotter System is made available to Customer for live use (“go live”).

B. Failure to renew ShotSpotter Subscription Services. If Customer fails to renew prior to the expiration of the then current subscription term, the Subscription Services will terminate and the Customer’s access to the Subscription Services will be disabled. At its discretion, SoundThinking may remove the ShotSpotter System and any components from the Coverage Area at that time. If SoundThinking does not remove the ShotSpotter System from the Coverage Area, Customer may reinstate the ShotSpotter Subscription Services at a later date by renewing this Agreement and payment of the applicable reactivation and ShotSpotter Subscription Services renewal fees; however, Customer will not have access to any Reviewed Alerts that they would have had access to during the lapsed period.

Section 5 LICENSE AND OWNERSHIP
ShotSpotter Data
A. Rights in Data.

SoundThinking shall own and have the unrestricted right to use the ShotSpotter Data, as that term is defined in the Agreement, for internal purposes such as research or product development. SoundThinking may provide, license, or sell the ShotSpotter Data on an aggregated basis to third parties (excluding press or media) to be used for research or analytical purposes, or for law enforcement and/or security purposes.

SoundThinking will not release or disseminate to any person or entity ShotSpotter Data related to or consisting of specific forensic or law enforcement sensitive incident information pertaining to any active inquiry, investigation, or prosecution, unless in response to a valid order or subpoena issued by a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise required by law. SoundThinking will not release, sell, license, or otherwise distribute the gunfire alert ShotSpotter Data to the press or media without the prior express written consent of an authorized representative of the Customer.

Customer shall have the unrestricted right to download, make copies of, distribute, and use the ShotSpotter Data within its own organization, exclusively for its own internal purposes, and for purposes of detecting and locating gunfire, routine archival recordkeeping, evidence preservation, and investigative, or evidentiary, and prosecutorial purposes, and ADDENDUM ONE ǀ Page 5 of 11

All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States for community engagement and community services initiatives. Customer shall not provide to, license the use of, or sell the ShotSpotter Data to any third parties, which restriction will not pertain to (i) the collaboration with other law enforcement agencies for the purposes of investigating and prosecuting crimes detected by the ShotSpotter Subscription Service; or (ii) government or non-governmental entities focused on the support of victims of gun crime in the local community; or (iii) entities focused on local community outreach and/or violence intervention.

Section 6 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
SoundThinking Privacy Policy
A. SoundThinking Privacy Policy.

With respect to the ShotSpotter Subscription Services, SoundThinking has structured its technology, processes and policies in such a way as to minimize the risk of privacy infringements from audio surveillance while still delivering important public safety benefits to its customers. These efforts to maintain privacy include the following:
1) SoundThinking will not provide extended audio to customers beyond the audio snippet (1 second of ambient noise prior to a gunshot, the gunshot audio itself, and 1 second after the incident). SoundThinking will vigorously resist any subpoena or court order for extended audio that goes beyond an audio snippet.
2) SoundThinking will not provide a list or database of the precise location of Sensors to police or the public if requested and will challenge any subpoenas for this location data.

Section 7 LIMITED WARRANTIES
ShotSpotter Subscription Services and Software Additional Limited Warranties and Disclaimers
A. The ShotSpotter Subscription Services are not designed, sold, or intended to be used to detect, intercept, transmit, or record oral or other communications of any kind.

SoundThinking cannot control how the ShotSpotter Subscription Services are used, and, accordingly, SoundThinking does not warrant or represent, expressly or implicitly, that use of the ShotSpotter Subscription Services will comply or conform to the requirements of federal, state, or local statutes, ordinances, and laws, or that use of the ShotSpotter Subscription Services will not violate the privacy rights of third parties. Customer shall be solely responsible for using the ShotSpotter Subscription Services in full compliance with applicable law and the rights of third persons.

ShotSpotter® Gunshot Detection, Location System
Reviewed Alert Service Levels
Summary
Under the terms and conditions of the SoundThinking Master Services Agreement and this Addendum One between SoundThinking, Inc. (“SoundThinking”) and Customer, SoundThinking commits to meet or exceed the following Service Level Agreement (SLA) standards as it provides its ShotSpotter Gunshot Location Services1:

Service SLA and Measurement
Gunshot Detection
& Location
90% of unsuppressed, outdoor gunfire incidents, using standard, commercially available rounds greater than .25 caliber, inside the Coverage Area will be detected and located within 25 meters of the actual gunshot location.

Reviewed Alerts 90% of gunshot incidents will be reviewed and published in less than 60 seconds.

Service Availability The ShotSpotter Gunshot Location System service will be available to the Customer 99.9% of the time with online access to ShotSpotter data, excluding scheduled maintenance windows.

Gunshot Detection & Location Performance
The ShotSpotter System will detect and accurately locate to within 25 meters of the actual gunshot location 90% of unsuppressed, outdoor gunshots fired inside the contracted coverage area using standard, commercially available rounds greater than .25 caliber.

Reviewed Alerts Service
SoundThinking’s real-time Incident Review Center (IRC) will review at least 90% of all gunfire incidents within 60 seconds. This human review is intended to confirm or change the machine classification of the incident type, and, depending on the reviewer’s confidence level that the incident is or may be gunfire, will result in an alert (“Reviewed Alert”) sent to the Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car mobile data terminals (MDT), and officer smartphones (via the ShotSpotter App), based on the following criteria:

Incident Type Action
High confidence incident is gunfire Reviewed Gunfire Alert, (Single Gunshot “SG” or Multiple Gunshots “MG”) sent to Customer’s
dispatch center, patrol car mobile data terminals
(MDT), and officer smartphones (via the
ShotSpotter App)
Uncertain if incident is gunfire or not Reviewed Probable Gunfire (“PG”) Alert sent to Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and
officer smartphones
Low confidence incident is gunfire No alert will be sent; incident available for Customer review in the incident history available
through Insight
1 See attached “ShotSpotter – Definition of Key Terms” for a complete definition of terms associated with this SLA and further details in the expanded definitions listed below the Summary. The basis for this SLA and performance measurement will be total gunshot incidents as defined by the Definition of Key Terms.

ADDENDUM ONE ǀ Page 9 of 11
Copyright © 2026 SoundThinking, Inc. – Confidential
All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States Reviewed Alerts are sent to the Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and officer smartphones.

Information in a Reviewed Alert will include the following:
• “Dot on the map” with latitude and longitude indicating the location of the incident. • Parcel address closest to location of the incident.
• When available, additional situational awareness data points may be included, such as:
o Qualitative data on the type/severity of incident: Fully automatic, High Capacity o Other comments (if any)
The ShotSpotter App, and Insight provide the Customer with full and immediate access to incident history including information SoundThinking uses in its internal review process. This information includes, among other things, the initial incident classification and any reclassifications of an incident, incident audio wave forms, and incident audio files. This data access is available as long as the Customer is under active subscription.

Service Availability
The ShotSpotter System2 will be able to detect gunfire and available to users with online access to ShotSpotter data 99.9% of the time, on a 24x7 by 365 day per year basis, excluding: a) scheduled maintenance periods which will be announced to Customer in advance; b) select holidays; and c) third party network outages beyond SoundThinking’s control.

Customer SLA Credits
Each Service Level measurement shall be determined quarterly, the results of which will be reviewed during the periodic account review meetings with Customer. For each calendar quarter that SoundThinking does not meet at least two of the three above standards, a fee reduction representing one free week of service (for the affected Coverage Area) for each missed quarter shall be included during a future Customer renewal.

Service Level Exclusions and Modifications
SoundThinking takes commercially reasonable efforts to maintain Service Levels at all times. However, Service Level performance during New Year’s Eve and Independence Day and the 48-hour periods before and after these holidays, are specifically excluded from Service Level standards. During these excluded periods, because of the large amount of fireworks activity, SoundThinking uses fireworks suppression techniques3.

The SoundThinking sensors send incident information to the SoundThinking cloud via third party cellular, wireless or wired networks. SoundThinking is not responsible for outages on the third-party networks. 2 ShotSpotter Subscription Service includes all database, applications, and communications services hosted by SoundThinking, Inc. at our data center and specifically exclude Customer’s internal network or systems or 3rd party communications networks, e.g. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint/T-Mobile, or Customer’s Internet Service Provider. 3 SoundThinking will put the ShotSpotter System into "fireworks suppression mode" during this period in order to reduce the non-gunfire incidents required for human classification. SoundThinking will formally inform the Customer prior to the System being placed in fireworks suppression mode and when the mode is disabled. While in fireworks suppression mode, the incident alerts determined to be fireworks are not sent to the reviewer nor the Customer dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and officer smartphones; however, these non-gunfire incidents will continue to be stored in the database for use if required at a later time.

ADDENDUM ONE ǀ Page 10 of 11
Copyright © 2026 SoundThinking, Inc. – Confidential
All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States Service Failure Notification
Should SoundThinking identify any condition (disruption, degradation or failure of network, cloud, servers, sensors etc.) that impacts SoundThinking’s ability to meet the Gunshot Detection & Location standard (above), SoundThinking will proactively notify the Customer with: a) a brief explanation of the condition; b) how the Customer’s service is affected; and c) the approximate timeframe for resolution. SoundThinking will also notify the Customer once any such condition is resolved.

Customer Responsibilities
The purpose of the Reviewed Alert service is to provide incident data to the Customer, reviewed, analyzed and classified in the manner described above. However, it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to interpret the data provided, and to determine any appropriate follow-up reaction or response, including whether or not to dispatch emergency responder resources based on a Reviewed Alert. SoundThinking does not assume any obligation, duty or responsibility for reaction, response, or dispatch decisions, which are solely and exclusively the responsibility of Customer, or for the consequences or outcomes of any decisions made or not made by the Customer in reliance, in whole or in part, on any services provided by SoundThinking.

Customer must inform SoundThinking when Verified Incidents of gunfire are missed by the ShotSpotter System in order to properly calculate Performance Rate, as defined below.

Customer is responsible for providing any required workstations, mobile devices and internet access for the Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and officer smartphones, or Insight.

All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States ShotSpotter – Definition of Key Terms
The ShotSpotter System will provide data for correct detection and accurate location for ninety percent (90%) of detectable (outdoor, unsuppressed) community gunfire which occurs within a coverage area, the “Coverage Area”, provided the measurement is Statistically Significant, as defined below. This performance rate shall be calculated as a percentage as follows:

𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 =
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦𝐿𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑
(𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦𝐿𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 + 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑁𝑜𝑡𝐷𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 + 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑀𝑖𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑) where the “Performance Rate” is a number expressed as a percentage, “NumberAccuratelyLocated” is the number of “Gunfire Incidents” occurring within the Coverage Area during the specified period for which the ShotSpotter System produced an Accurate Location, NumberMislocated is the number of Verified Incidents (a “Verified Incident” is an incident where Customer has physical or other credible evidence that gunfire took place) for which the ShotSpotter System produced an inaccurate location (i.e., a Mislocated Incident), and NumberNotDetected is the number of Verified Incidents for which the ShotSpotter System failed to report a location at all (i.e., Missed Incidents).

An “Accurate Location” shall mean an incident located by the ShotSpotter System to a latitude/longitude coordinate that lies within a 25-meter radius of the confirmed shooter’s location (25 meters = approximately 82 feet). “Detectable Gunfire” incidents are unsuppressed discharges of ballistic firearms which occur fully outdoors in free space (i.e. not in doorways, vestibules, windows, vehicles, etc.) using standard commercially available rounds of caliber greater than .25.

ShotSpotter Review Period is measured as the period commencing when the Incident Review Center (IRC) receives the alert and the first audio download to the time it is published to the customer.

ShotSpotter System performance is guaranteed after a “Statistically Significant” set of incidents has been detected in accordance with timeframes set forth herein, and commercial system acceptance, if applicable.

The ShotSpotter System is designed to detect gunfire which is typically well distributed throughout the Coverage Area; however, performance should not be construed to mean that 90% of gunfire fired at any given location within the Coverage Area will be detected and located within the guaranteed accuracy.

The ShotSpotter System is not a “point protection” system and is therefore not designed to consistently detect gunfire at every single location within the Coverage Area, but rather to Accurately Locate 90% of the Detectable Incidents in aggregate throughout the entire Coverage Area. There may be certain locations within the Coverage Area where obstacles and ambient noise impede and/or overshadow the propagation of acoustic energy such that locating the origin at those positions is inconsistent or impossible. The Performance Rate calculation is thus specifically tied to the Community Gunfire across the entire Coverage Area.

Statistically Significant shall be defined as measurements and calculations which shall be performed as follows: (a) Across an entire Coverage Area; (b) Aggregating over a period of at least 30 days under weather conditions seasonally normal for the area; and (c) Provided that the total number of gunfire incidents being counted is equal to or greater than: (i) thirty (30) incidents for systems of up to three (3) square miles of Coverage Area, or (ii) ten (10) incidents multiplied by the number of square miles of Coverage Area for systems where one or more Coverage Areas are three (3) square miles or larger.

Executive Summary
Introduction
SoundThinking® is pleased to present this proposal in response to the City of Artesia's request for a gunshot detection solution. We appreciate the time the City has spent helping us understand your issues and goals. Based on our discussions, we understand that the City seeks to address the following challenges:
• Recurring gunfire activity concentrated in the northern portion of the City, where gun violence has created an ongoing public safety concern requiring improved detection and faster law enforcement response
• Inconsistent reporting of gun violence to law enforcement, limiting the ability to respond timely, render aid to victims, and collect critical evidence at shooting scenes • A need for enhanced officer safety, stronger investigative capability, and more effective allocation of public safety resources in high-activity areas of the City Law enforcement agencies come to SoundThinking when they need a solution to quickly and precisely detect gunfire, swiftly find gunshot victims, and support the communities most affected by gun violence. A component of our SafetySmart™ Platform, the proposed ShotSpotter® solution is designed to identify, locate, and track active gunfire, and will support the City of Artesia's efforts to more effectively respond to and investigate gunfire incidents.

The proposed ShotSpotter deployment can:
• Provide significant tactical advantages that increase officer safety when responding to gunfire
• Enable the City to efficiently deploy resources and increase situational awareness in the

1.0 square mile coverage area identified as the highest-priority zone for gun activity • Help effectively identify, analyze, and respond to gun crime through real-time alerts and forensic-grade incident data
• Increase casings collection programs which, in conjunction with NIBIN/IBIS, provide valuable investigative leads to support prosecutions
Data-Driven Results
ShotSpotter has become an indispensable crime-fighting tool for many agencies. In light of the community dynamics that fuel gun violence and the well-documented challenges of relying solely on 9-1-1 calls for assistance, SoundThinking’s ShotSpotter technology is critical in providing support to the community and addressing the following issues:
• Under-reporting of persistent gunfire: Nationwide, on average, less than 20% of gunfire incidents are reported to 9-1-1. Why don’t residents call? The answer is complex, but typically involves the following concerns:
o Recognition: “Was that gunfire, fireworks, or something else?” o Retaliation: “If they find out I called, will they come after me?” o Resignation: “No one came the last time I called…”
Without ShotSpotter, most law enforcement agencies are working with an 80% to 90% deficiency in their gun violence-related intelligence.
• Late and inaccurate information: When a citizen reports a gunfire incident, the 9-1-1 call typically comes several minutes after the event occurred, and based on analysis, the location provided is usually mislocated by 750 feet (on average). As a result, valuable time and resources are wasted trying to locate the incident, diminishing the opportunity Price Proposal for the City of Artesia, CA

to identify suspects and witnesses, recover evidence, and most importantly, render lifesaving aid to victims.

The ability to receive near real-time gunfire intelligence data provides law enforcement agencies with a critical advantage in their efforts to address and prevent gun violence and improve officer safety. Specific results include:
• Officers can more quickly and accurately go directly to the scene of the shooting • Situational awareness is vastly improved over what is available when relying solely on the 9-1-1 system
• Law enforcement has a better chance of arriving before the shooter has left the scene • Officers are more likely to find evidence in the form of shell casings (which, in conjunction with NIBIN/IBIS, provide valuable investigative leads) and/or other ground truth that can aid in the investigation
• Officers are more likely to find witnesses who may have information that can aid in the investigation
• Community engagement is heightened, which often translates into more information from the community (e.g., tip lines, field interviews, etc.) • Enhanced targeted enforcement (precision policing)
• More court-admissible and scientifically sound forensic evidence is available to strengthen prosecutions of the worst offenders
ShotSpotter Saves Lives
Independent research shows that more than 80% of gunfire incidents are never reported to 9-1-1, leaving many shooting victims undiscovered and delaying lifesaving medical care.

ShotSpotter directly addresses this gap by automatically detecting and precisely locating gunfire incidents in real time, independent of citizen reporting. An independent audit of ShotSpotter’s performance confirms that the system delivers gunfire alerts with approximately 97% accuracy and publishes verified alerts to law enforcement in under 60 seconds. This combination of speed and reliability enables officers and emergency medical services to:
• Reach victims faster: ShotSpotter quickly directs responders to shooting locations that might otherwise go unreported, reducing the time it takes to find injured victims during the critical minutes when uncontrolled bleeding can quickly become fatal • Begin lifesaving interventions sooner: Faster arrival allows officers and EMS to initiate hemorrhage control and rapid transport earlier, minimizing tissue damage and preventing injuries from progressing to irreversible trauma • Improve the likelihood of survival: By shortening the time between injury and definitive medical care, early detection and response significantly increase a victim’s chances of surviving gunshot wounds and reduce the risk of long‑term complications By ensuring that shootings are detected, located, and acted upon quickly—even when no one calls for help—ShotSpotter materially improves emergency response outcomes, supports effective evidence collection, and reinforces community trust through visible, proactive public safety action.

ShotSpotter also provides invaluable data that can be analyzed to move law enforcement agencies from a reactive to a proactive position. Our gunshot detection solutions have historically helped law enforcement agencies:
• Effectively identify, analyze, and respond to gun crime • Increase casings collection programs (which in conjunction with NIBIN/IBIS, provide valuable investigative leads)
Price Proposal for the City of Artesia, CA
©2026 3
• Build an extensive casings database to maximize data value:
o Data can be analyzed in conjunction with ShotSpotter data to identify “hot addresses”
o Results inform deployment of resources and targeted investigations • Faster turnaround time for results with NIBIN program can lead to more cases being solved more quickly
ShotSpotter forensic evidence can be a powerful demonstrative tool for a prosecutor at trial. The audio of the gunfire played for the jury during trial and the precise timing and location of the gunfire plotted onto a Google Earth map can be compelling and tangible evidence against a defendant. ShotSpotter forensic evidence has been testified to by our expert witnesses in over 300 prosecutions in criminal courts throughout the United States.

Our goal is not to simply deliver technology, but rather to become a valuable partner. To that end, the SoundThinking Customer Success Team comprises former law enforcement executives who have first-hand experience in successfully deploying and using ShotSpotter.

Our mission is your success: our Customer Success Team will work closely with the City and the Sheriff’s Department from the earliest stages of your deployment through the life of the subscription to ensure the City and the Sheriff’s Department has full access to our best practices and training components that drive successful outcomes.

We appreciate your consideration of our proposal and are confident that ShotSpotter will help the City and the Sheriff’s Department detect gunfire, connect with vulnerable communities, and save lives. SoundThinking is committed to your success and we look forward to partnering with you to make ShotSpotter a key component of your efforts to address gun crime in the City of Artesia.

ShotSpotter Service Overview
How ShotSpotter Works
Based on an analysis of known gunfire-related crimes, the SoundThinking team designs and deploys networked sensors within the targeted coverage area. These acoustic arrays detect and locate gunshot activity within the coverage area and report that information to SoundThinking’s Incident Review Center (IRC) which is staffed 24/7/365. ShotSpotter uses a two-factor incident review process to minimize false alerts. The first tier is performed by sophisticated AI software, to filter out any incidents that do not meet the minimum threshold for human review as potential gunfire incidents (e.g., helicopter noise, fireworks, etc.). The incidents that meet the minimum threshold for human review are then received at our IRC. The IRC review process is performed by a team of highly trained acoustic experts. In addition to examining the incident audio, SoundThinking’s acoustic experts also examine the visual characteristics of the detected pulses and the incident, such as the number of participating sensors, the wave form, pulse alignment, and the direction of sound. The IRC review results in either publishing (Gunshot or Probable Gunshot) or dismissal (Non-Gunshot) of the incident with a high level of precision.

If the reviewer classifies the incident as a gunshot, the reviewer sends an alert, including location information and an audio snippet, to law enforcement agencies via a passwordprotected application on a mobile phone, in-car laptop, or computer. In addition to the dot-onthe-map and audio, ShotSpotter provides details such as number of shots fired, whether multiple shooters were involved, and whether high-capacity and/or fully automatic weapons were used. SoundThinking designed this entire process (i.e., recording the impulsive sound, two-factor review, and publishing alerts to authorized users) to be completed in less than 60 seconds (but is often completed within 25 to 30 seconds).

ShotSpotter customers receive a contextually rich, detailed gunfire alert that enables a fast, precise, and safer response to gunfire incidents. In addition, ShotSpotter alerts can also trigger other technology platforms such as cameras that can pan and zoom in the direction of an event.

SoundThinking has successfully interfaced ShotSpotter with a wide range of third-party applications such as CAD, RMS, License Plate Readers, drones, and other applications.

ShotSpotter helps law enforcement agencies by directing resources to the precise location of more than 90% of gunfire incidents. ShotSpotter rapidly notifies first responders of shootings via dispatch centers, in-vehicle computers, and smart phones. Instant alerts enable first responders to aid victims, collect evidence, and identify witnesses. ShotSpotter’s actionable intelligence can then be used to prevent future crimes by positioning law enforcement when and where crime is likely to occur. ShotSpotter gunshot detection and location services are delivered as an easily implemented Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, with no requirement for customer investment in or maintenance of expensive hardware or software. SoundThinking hosts, secures, monitors, and maintains the ShotSpotter infrastructure. Contracts are based on an affordable one-year or multi-year subscription agreement, and the subscription includes unlimited licenses for the proposed SoundThinking applications.

ShotSpotter Application
The ShotSpotter application is used by Call Takers, Dispatchers, and Patrol Officers in the field.

Real-time notifications of gunfire incidents are delivered to this app and includes the following data:
• Incident location (dot on the map, per the incident latitude and longitude) • Type of gunfire (single round, multiple round)
• Unique identification number
• Date and time of the muzzle blast (trigger time)
• Nearest address of the gunfire location 1
• Number of shots
• District identification
• Beat identification
A SoundThinking analyst may add other contextual information such as the possibility of multiple shooters, high-capacity weapons, full-automatic weapons, and the shooter’s location related to a building (front yard, back yard, street, etc.). The report also includes an audit trail of the time the alert was published, acknowledged, and closed at the customer facility. All notes entered by Call Takers and Dispatchers added to the alert are time- and date-stamped with the operator’s ID. For Patrol Officers, the alert includes an audio snippet of the incident. 1 Based on the reverse geo-verification of the incident latitude and longitude, using commercially available GIS sources such as Google or customer-provided GIS data.

InSight™
InSight™ enables customers to explore details about prior gunshot incidents in their ShotSpotter coverage area and use the data for investigation and analysis. Crime analysts, investigators, and command staff can view, filter, sort, report, and transform historical gunshot data into meaningful insights, ultimately informing strategies for reducing gun violence.

InSight enables users to find and identify the incidents using an extensive array of filters for date, time, location, keywords, single vs. multiple gunshots, patrol areas, as well as shapes drawn on the map. The shape filters narrow a search for shooting incidents within a radius of a known address, across several blocks, or look for and monitor activity on both sides of a jurisdictional border. Saved reports retain common filter settings for quick retrieval (e.g., “District 4 Gunfire – Last 28 days”).

Figure 4. InSight App
Price Proposal for the City of Artesia, CA
©2026 10
InSight shows how a shooting event unfolded by watching a shot-by-shot animation that details the location and sequence of each shot. The software also highlights other nearby incidents that may be potentially related based on its relative distance and time of occurrence.

InSight comes with a set of reports that make it easy to share incident data throughout an agency:
• The Investigative Lead Summary report give details of a shooting incident including audio, location, sequence, and timing of each shot fired. This report is often used to share incident audio and details with colleagues, aid investigators with collecting evidence at the scene of a shooting and conducting better interviews of witnesses, suspects, and victims, or attach to a case file.
• The Multi-Incident report provides a summary of shooting incidents broken out by single, multiple, and probable gunshot incidents as well as any non-gunfire incidents if they were included in the search. The summary is followed by details for each incident including the date, time, location, number of rounds, CAD ID, ShotSpotter ID, and other details.

For customized, ad hoc reporting and analysis, InSight can export incident data to other off-theshelf products such as Microsoft Excel, Tableau, Google Earth, ArcGIS, and other tools.

ShotCast
ShotCast provides a
video summary report of
shooting incidents
detected by ShotSpotter
that can be shared on
the internet, social
media, broadcast news,
and other media outlets.

SoundThinking created
ShotCast to help Public
Information Officers
(PIOs) expedite and
simplify the process of
informing the public of
gunfire incidents in their
neighborhoods.

ShotCast can improve
media coverage of gun
violence, and, when
incorporated into a broader communication strategy, can help educate the public, increase transparency and awareness about the impact of gun violence, and promote community engagement in public safety.

ShotCast video summaries include the actual gunfire audio and key details of the incident (location, time, and more) presented in a high-quality video format that PIOs can incorporate into various types of news coverage.

Mobile Alerts
The ShotSpotter smartphone
application delivers real-time gunfire
alert data to smart phones and smart
watches, available for use on iPhones
and Android platforms. The ShotSpotter
app displays the gunfire location as a
dot-on-a-map and the data also
includes the number of rounds fired and
access to the incident audio.

Investigative Lead Summary
The ShotSpotter Investigative Lead Summary (ILS) is an on-demand report that provides useful details about the location, timing, and sequence of each shot fired during an incident. The ILS is very valuable on scene, helping law enforcement find shell casings, confirm witness accounts, and identify suspects. ILS reports are available immediately after an incident occurs through a single click of a button within the mobile, web, or desktop ShotSpotter and InSight applications.

Figure 6. Smartwatch Notification
Price Proposal for the City of Artesia, CA

Detailed Forensic Reports and Expert Witness Testimony
SoundThinking’s Detailed Forensic Reports (DFR) and Expert Witness Testimony can provide unique trial evidence including audio recordings of shooting incidents. In nearly all the criminal proceedings in which our experts have been called to testify, SoundThinking has produced detailed, round-by-round analysis of the timing and location of the shots fired by one or more weapons. To the best of our knowledge, no other acoustic-based gunshot detection system has been accepted in a court of law as providing this kind of forensic evidence.

ShotSpotter data can be foundational to arrests for firearm offenses and:
• Help identify suspects
• Assist in establishing the precise timeline of shootings and help explain crime scenes • Provide evidence of premeditation or affect claims of self-defense • Corroborate other evidence from the crime scene
• Provide crucial information in officer-involved shooting investigations Figure 9. ShotSpotter Detailed Forensic Report (DFR)
Price Proposal for the City of Artesia, CA
©2026 14
SoundThinking data supports detailed forensic analysis of gunfire incidents, including:
• Weapon type (e.g., automatic vs. semi-automatic)
• Number of rounds fired
• Possibility of multiple shooters
Unlike the ILS, which is intended primarily for investigative uses, the DFR is intended for use as evidence in a court and is backed by an expert witness. The DFR is intended to be used by attorneys as part of a court case for the exact, verified timing, sequence, and location of each shot fired. Secondarily, DFRs are available for use by law enforcement to obtain search warrants or to investigate Officer Involved Shootings. DFRs are available upon written request, and our goal is to deliver all DFRs within ten business days of the request.

To support prosecutions, audio snippets provide powerful demonstrative evidence to prosecutors and allow jurors to gain a deeper understanding of the victims’ experience of the incident. For prosecutors who wish to have a SoundThinking expert witness testify regarding a DFR, to help interpret and clarify crime scene activity derived from ShotSpotter data, or provide other forensic consultation services, these services are available for an hourly fee.

In 25 states and in the District of Columbia, SoundThinking evidence and SoundThinking expert witness testimony have been successfully admitted in over 300 court cases. ShotSpotter forensic evidence has prevailed in 25 Frye and Daubert challenges throughout the United States.

Notifications API Optional
The Notifications API (available as a separately priced option) allows client applications to receive accurate, timely details about ShotSpotter gunfire alerts, including precise latitude and longitude (geolocation), GPS-synchronized timestamps, incident audio, and situational context provided by the 24/7/365 Incident Review Center. Typical interfaces include:
• Video Management Systems (VMS)
• Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems
• Records Management Systems (RMS)
• Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs)
• Crime analysis and statistics packages (including COMPSTAT software) Each Notifications API license pack is available for an annual subscription fee that includes:
• Up to three (3) interfaces
• Establishing an instance of the API for the City and Sheriff’s Department on SoundThinking-hosted servers
• Consulting with the City, Sheriff’s Department, and third parties to ensure the API operates according to the API specifications
• 24/7 alerts to up to three third-party applications
• Supporting the third party and City and Sheriff’s Department as systems are upgraded Additional API licenses can be purchased in packs of three interfaces.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026 ITEM NO: 9F.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Resolution Regarding an Application for a Community Resilience Centers Implementation Grant and Possible Award of Contract
FROM: Danielle Osborne, Management Analyst
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:

Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Director
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-3112, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Artesia, California, Authorizing the Submission of an Application for up to $2 million from the Community Resilience Centers Implementation Grant from the California Strategic Growth Council and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Related Documents if Awarded.

BACKGROUND:

On May 29, 2026, the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) announced the availability of approximately $55 million in funding from the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 for Round 2 of the Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Program through a Notice of Funding Availability.

The CRC Program funds the planning and construction or retrofits of community serving facilities that provide shelter and resources to mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change, as well as year-round community programs and services. In total, approximately $5 million is available for Planning Grant awards of up to $500,000 each, and approximately $50 million is available for Implementation Grant awards of up to $10 million each.

In anticipation of this grant opportunity, LA Metro established the Transit Oriented Communities Grant Writing Assistance (TOC GWA) Program, a competitive program that provides professional grant writing assistance for proposed projects located within a one-half-mile radius of a current or planned Major Transit Stop. The proposed improvements at the Albert O. Little Community Center were deemed eligible due to the facility’s proximity to the planned Pioneer Station on the Southeast Gateway Line. As a result, City staff are working with Evan Brooks Associates, a professional grant writing and community outreach firm, to develop and submit the grant application.

Alignment with Fiscal Year 2026-27 Goals:

Goal No. 3 - Refine Capital Improvement Project Delivery: Expedite completion of ongoing Capital/Beautification Projects.

This project is part of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program: HVAC Replacement for City Facilities. The purpose of authorizing the submission of a CRC Grant application from the California SGC is to secure funding to replace the aging HVAC system at the Albert O. Little Community Center.

ANALYSIS:

The Albert O. Little Community Center is home to year-round programming for all ages, but also serves as a space for special events and community gatherings. Being the largest indoor facility the City has to offer, the center is a designated Cooling Center during extreme heat events, and is currently undergoing evaluations to be designated as a temporary shelter by the American Red Cross in the event of a large-scale emergency. The HVAC system is a key component that is evaluated through site assessments for shelter space, as it provides climate relief during extreme weather events. The HVAC system at Albert O. Little Community Center has surpassed its life expectancy and is in urgent need of replacement due to age and the lack of available replacement parts.

The proposed application for the CRC Program grant would provide funding to purchase, engineer and replace the HVAC system with new, modern technology involving smart thermostats, smart motors, and LED lighting, all of which will incur lower ongoing maintenance costs. At over 10,000 square feet, the Albert O. Little Community Center serves as critical infrastructure that could be severely impacted by a malfunctioning HVAC unit.

Additionally, grant funds will be requested to purchase and install a large backup generator to provide energy to the facility in the event of electrical failure. Funds will be used for procurement, pre-development, engineering, and installation costs associated with this system. Additional equipment such as cots and other temporary furnishings are being evaluated for consideration in the application, with the overarching goal to provide comfort and relief to shelter-seekers in the event of a widespread disaster.

FISCAL IMPACT:

A portion of this project, the replacement of HVAC units at the Albert O. Little Community Center, is budgeted in the General Fund as a capital project. If the grant is awarded, the general fund will see a savings of the cost of the HVAC units in an amount of about $300,000. If awarded, the City may receive up to $2 million to be used for facility upgrades and climate readiness measures at the Albert O. Little Community Center.

BACKGROUND:

At the May 11, 2026, regular City Council meeting, the City Council Adopted Resolution No. 26-3084, which declared the Council's intention to adopt an ordinance granting Crimson California Pipeline ("Applicant") a petroleum pipeline franchise in the City of Artesia ("City"). Notice of the City Council public hearing was published in the Los Cerritos Community News on May 22, 2026, in accordance with the Artesia Municipal Code (AMC) and Government Code Sections 65090, 65091, 65856(b) and 65867. The public hearing was opened at the June 8, 2026, regular City Council meeting and continued to allow more time to address a legal issue. Another public hearing notice was published in the Los Cerritos Community News on August 28, 2026, to update the Applicant's name and to notice the public hearing.

Alignment with Fiscal Year 2026-27 Goals:

This action is regular business related to franchise management and not related to a goal.

ANALYSIS:

Staff negotiated a new franchise agreement with the Applicant, which is memorialized in proposed Ordinance No. 26-986. If adopted, the proposed ordinance will:

Establish a 15-year term for the franchise agreement;
Require the Applicant to comply with construction standards at the federal, state, and local levels; Provide the City an annually adjusted franchise fee in accordance with state law; and Reimburse the City for the costs of publishing the public hearing notice.

If adopted, the proposed ordinance will become effective 30 days after the second reading.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Currently, the Applicant pays the City annual Franchise Fees calculated on a formula basis set by state statute and then adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). With the adoption of this agreement, the City will continue to receive annual Franchise Fees without any gaps. For background, the City received $3,318.22 in Fiscal Year 2025-26, and the projected annual CPI increase is 3% for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Open and conduct the public hearing; and

By motion, introduce for first reading of Ordinance No. 26-986, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Artesia, California, Granting to Crimson California Pipeline, L.P. to Maintain and Operate a Pipeline for the Transportation of Petroleum Products for Any and All Purposes in, Along, Across and Under Certain Public Streets Within the City of Artesia.

Orange County Area as published by the United States Department of Labor, Office of Information for the month of September immediately preceding the month in which payment is due and payable, and divided by the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside – Orange County Area for June 30, 1989 (Base period 1982-1984 = 100).

2. Base Construction Charges. The Franchisee shall pay at the time of installation, relocation, or replacement of any pipeline or other facility covered by the Franchise, a base construction charge of seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) per lineal foot of pipeline located within any street within the City.

Franchisee shall reimburse the City for its actual and reasonable expense in performing an audit to the extent Franchisee has underpaid the City in equal to or in excess of five percent (5%) of what was owed. To the extent such underpayment is below five percent (5%) or if Franchisee overpaid the City, the City shall be solely responsible for its audit cost.

SECTION 29. Construction.

All restoration, repair, or replacement work shall be done to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Engineer at the expense of the Franchisee and in accordance with all Applicable Law.

In the event that the Franchisee shall fail or neglect to commence making such highway repair, replacement, or restoration work, then ten (10) days after notice therefor has been given Franchisee by the City Engineer, and provided that the delay is not caused by circumstances out of Franchisee’s control or which could not reasonably have been anticipated, the City may repair, replace or restore said highway at the expense of Franchisee.

Whenever the Franchisee fails to complete any work required by the terms and conditions of the Franchise, and the permits issued thereunder, within the time limits required thereby as further provided herein, the City may complete or cause to be completed said work in compliance with Applicable Law at the expense of the Franchisee.

SECTION 36. CEQA. The City Council finds that the enactment of this Ordinance is determined to be exempt under Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (the "State CEQA Guidelines") in that its adoption merely implements a regulatory process that will not foreseeably result in construction activities or other physical activities, either directly or indirectly.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026 ITEM NO: 10B.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: A Resolution to Update Fee Schedule for the Artesia Cannabis Retail Business Permit Program
FROM: Carmen Zambrano, Management Analyst
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:

Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Director
HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed updates to the fee schedule for the City’s Cannabis Retail Business Permit Program; and,

2. Adopt Resolution No. 26-3111, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Artesia, California, Amending the Fee Schedule for the Administration of the Artesia Cannabis Retail Business Permit Program, Previously Adopted by Resolution No. 23-2919, to Update Existing Fees and Establish a New Cannabis Retail Business Permit Assignment Fee.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Artesia ("City") established its Cannabis Retail Business Permit Program ("Permit Program") in 2022 to regulate and administer commercial cannabis retail businesses within the City. The City currently has three permitted cannabis retail businesses operating under the program. The current permits are set to expire on November 22, 2026, and the existing permittees will be required to submit renewal applications prior to the expiration.

On February 1, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-2919, establishing the City's Permit Program Fee Schedule. The original fee study evaluated the the City's costs of administering Article 8, Adult Cannabis Business and Activities, of Section 3-2 of the Artesia Municipal Code (AMC), including permit application processing, licensing, inspections, regulatory oversight, and other cannabis-related administrative activities. The resulting schedule includes an Application Fee, Annual Regulatory Fee, Appeal Fee, Owner/Manager Background Investigation Fee, and Employee Background Investigation Fee.

Section 3-2.815 of the AMC authorizes the City Council to establish and update fees related to Cannabis Retail Business Permits by resolution. Since 2023, the City's costs of administering the Permit Program have changed.

City salary and benefit costs have increased, and the City continues to incur higher costs for regulatory oversight, enforcement, financial administration, cannabis audits, and other program activities. Staff has therefore completed an updated fee analysis to determine whether existing fees continue to reasonably reflect the City's current costs.

Alignment with Fiscal Year 2026-27 Goals:

Goal(s) No. 6 - Enhance Economic Development Program Delivery: Implement Strategic Economic Development Plan
The adoption of the updated Fee Schedule supports the implementation of the Permit Program, ensuring the City's cannabis-related fee program remains current and reflective of actual program costs, allowing the City to fully recover the costs of administering its cannabis regulatory activities.

ANALYSIS:

The City's Permit Program requires ongoing administrative and regulatory services, including policy and program management, public education and outreach, legal support, administrative enforcement, financial administration, and other cannabis-related regulatory activities. As part of the updated fee analysis, staff reviewed current salary and benefit costs, along with applicable contractual and consultant costs, and determined that the Application Fee, Annual Regulatory Fee, and Appeal Fee should be adjusted to reflect the City’s current costs of providing these services.

Citywide Salary Adjustments
Since 2023, the City has implemented citywide salary and benefit adjustments, resulting in increased personnel costs. The updated fee analysis reflects these current rates for staff time associated with administering and regulating the program.

Cannabis Audit Costs
The City uses a third-party consultant to conduct financial audits of permitted cannabis retailers at an estimated cost of $12,000 per audit per retailer, with audits conducted every other year. To account for this recurring cost, the updated Annual Regulatory Fee incorporates $6,000 per retailer annually, representing the annualized cost of the audit across the two-year cycle. This allows the City to recover the full audit costs over the period the service is provided.

Permit Program Assignment Fee
AMC Section 3-2.811 governs the assignment or transfer of a cannabis retail Permit, defined as a cumulative sale or transfer of 51% or more equity interest in the permitted entity. The Code establishes two review pathways, a standard process, generally available once a permittee has been in continual operation for four years, and a variance process, available earlier in a permittee's operation but requiring a public hearing and specific findings by the City Manager before approval.

None of the City's three current permittees have yet reached the four-year mark, but the variance process is already available under the existing Code and could be requested at any time. The City has not yet adopted a fee, application, or review procedure to support either pathway. This proposal addresses that gap by establishing the Assignment Fee required under Section 3-2.811(f) and directing staff to finalize a corresponding Assignment Application.

Both pathways will be handled through a single application where applicants will complete a standard set of ownership, transfer, and background information, with an additional section and public hearing required only if the request falls under the variance process. The Assignment Fee is calculated to recover the City's reasonable costs of reviewing an assignment request and consists of a base component, covering standard administrative, City Manager, Planning, and legal review common to every assignment, and an additional component, applied only when the variance process is required, covering the added cost of the findings analysis, interdepartmental review, and the required public hearing.

Annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI) Adjustment Beginning July 1, 2027, fees will adjust annually based on the percentage increase in the CPI-U for the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside area, capped at 5%. This keeps fees aligned with the City's actual cost of providing services over time, while preserving the requirement that fees never exceed the City's reasonable costs.

Proposed Fee Schedule
The proposed fee schedule provides a consolidated schedule of the fees applicable to the City's CRBPP.

Fee Description Current Fee Proposed Fee
Application Fee for Cannabis Retail Business Permit $22,278.66 $24,866.84 Annual Regulatory Fee for Cannabis Retail Business Permit Recipients $13,153.78 $23,260.18
Appeal Fee $7,106.28 $7,726.36
Owner/Manager Background Investigation Fee $300.00 $300.00 Employee Background Investigation Fee $100.00 $100.00
Cannabis Retail Business Permit Assignment Fee -- --
- Standard Review Component N/A $2,004.22
- Additional Component if Variance Review is Required N/A $4,651.21 PUBLIC NOTICE:

Notice of the public hearing was published in the Los Cerritos Community News on September 4, 2026 and September 11, 2026 pursuant to Government Code section 6062a.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed fee schedule is intended to recover the reasonable costs incurred by the City in administering and regulating the Permit Program. The updated fees reflect current personnel costs, contractual and consultant costs, and incorporates a portion of the City's recurring cannabis audit costs. The new Permit Assignment Fee recovers costs associated with processing assignment requests under AMC Section 3-2.811(f). The fees are not intended to generate revenue beyond the City's reasonable costs and the annual CPI adjustment keeps the schedule aligned with cost changes over time.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed updates to the fee schedule for the City’s Cannabis Retail Business Permit Program; and,

2. The Loan Agreement; and

3. Finding that the actions are exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.

BACKGROUND:

On August 10, 2026, the City Council approved a Public Works Contract ("Contract") between the City of Artesia and KASA Construction Inc., for the Site Development of 11908, 11910, 11928, and 11936 169th Street ("Project") which develops the four parcels into park and green open space as part of the AJ Padelford Park Expansion. The contract price was for $409,642. Staff released the Notice Inviting Bids on June 8, 2026 and the due date for bids closed on July 21, 2026.

On January 12, 2026, the Housing Authority Commission approved the purchase of 11820 168th Street. Escrow closed on the property on April 16, 2026. Staff began the process of utility abandonment, asbestos testing and demolition plan development. In May, the City discovered that several unhoused individuals were illegally residing in the vacant home and shed at 11820 168th Street. In July, the unhoused individuals were found to be stealing electricity from SCE lines to power the structures. Initially, the City determined to mitigate the issue by professionally boarding up the property on six occasions. However, from May through present, the unhoused individulals broke back into the property within a few days of each board-up. In one instance, they cut through an exterior wall to gain access to a crawl space. Based on the continued unauthorized access, meddling with electrical connections, and unsafe habitation, the City determined that the structures needed to be immediately removed because of the imminent health and safety risk to the surrounding homes and businesses on 168th Street. Over the past few months, the City has been working to get all utilities disconnected from the property so the buildings could be safely demolished.

Alignment with FY 2026-27 Goals:

Goal(s) No. 3 - Refine Capital Improvement Project Delivery The Emergency Demolition at 11820 1168th Street can be done through the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program: Other Capital Improvements. The scope of services of the original Project may be changed because the work at 11820 168th Street is deemed an emergency, requiring immediate action to protect the health and safety of the community.

ANALYSIS:

After the City Council approved the Contract for the Project on August 10, 2026, the last utility was removed on August 31, 2026; finally making it safe to demolish the properties. There is an imminent health and safety risk posed to the surrounding neighborhood by the unhoused that have continually broken into the property, stolen electricity by bypassing the meter, and require law enforcement to remove trespassers on over 20 occasions. While the electrical lines have now been removed from the property, there are nearby power poles and the resourcefulness of the offenders at this property leads Staff to believe there is a continued immediate hazard to the property and nearby homes and businesses because electricity could still be illegally stolen and the lines could catch on fire. Demolition is required, now, before large storms that are forecasted to begin this fall, prevent demolition from occurring; as undertaking bidding for the demolition project could take another two months. Due to these factors, staff recommends dispensing with bidding procedures and invoking emergency purchase procedures in accordance with the Artesia Municipal Code (AMC).

Artesia Municipal Code § 3-4.07 Emergency Purchases. (a) "Public Projects. When repairs or replacements are necessary in an emergency, the City Council, by a four-fifths (4/5) vote, may proceed at once to replace or repair any public facility without adopting plans, specifications, or working details, or giving notice of bids to let contracts, and without otherwise complying with the requirements of this chapter. For purposes of this section the term "emergency" shall mean a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services.

Prior to taking such action, the City Council shall make a finding, based on substantial evidence in the minutes of its meeting, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that the action is necessary to respond to an emergency. The work may be done by day labor, by contract, or by a combination of the two. If notice for bids to let contracts is not given, the City shall comply with Cal. Pub. Cont.

Code Section 22050.

At a recent Project pre-construction meeting, staff presented a proposal to KASA to add the emergency demolition at 11820 168th Street to the scope of work to the Project. KASA Construction, Inc. indicated that they could complete the emergency demolition and site development, which includes demolition of two structures and grading at 11820 168th Street and installation of a wood rail fence in compliance with the vacant property code, within the Project construction period and provided the City a quote of $228,667 for the change to the scope of services. This amount fell under the City Engineer's estimate for the work. As this amount exceeds the 15 percent contingency allowed for Extra Work under the Contract, a contract amendment is required. The Emergency Demolition at 11820 168th Street increases the contract price to $638,309.

The Housing Authority currently does not have the total funds available to pay for the emergency demolition and site development of the property it owns at 11820 168th Street. As a result, staff is recommending a loan from the City's General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance to the Housing Authority in an amount not to exceed $262,970 ($228,667 plus a 15% contingency) to complete the emergency demolition and site development at 11820 168th Street. The loan terms include interest to accrue on a quarterly basis through the duration of the loan based on the amount invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund ("LAIF") rates; had the City kept the funds in reserve, then it would have been invested in the LAIF. The loan terms include that the Housing Authority pay back the principal loan and accrued interest from the future revenues generated by the development of the property and adjacent Housing Authority properties, including revenue received from a future development agreement, disposition, lease or similar entitlement based agreement. The loan terms also allow the City and Housing Authority to mutually agree to revise the terms or forgive the loan and accrued interest if any future project is developed for a public purpose.

CEQA FINDINGS:

The Emergency Demolition at 11820 168th Street ("Demolition") was determined exempt from CEQA under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under the provisions of State CEQA guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), Class 1 exemption because all components of the Demolition are exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and satisfy the criteria for one or more exemptions as follows: The Demolition is exempt under Class 1, which “consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographic features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination” (12 Cal Code Regs. 15301). The Demolition provides no expansion of use and satisfies the requirement of the exemption. None of the following exceptions to the categorical exemptions applies (14 C.C.R. 15300.2). The Demolition site is not located in a particularly sensitive environment as the Demolition site impact area is an urban, built out site. No jurisdictional resources are present in the Demolition footprint, and no special-status vegetation communities or habitat for special-status plant or wildlife species would be impacted by the Demolition. The cumulative impact of successive projects of this same type in the same place over time would not be significant because the Demolition is limited in size and scope, and there are no reasonable foreseeable projects that would result in cumulative impacts with the Demolition. The Demolition does not involve any unusual circumstances; it involves emergency demolition of two structures, grading to a dirt lot and installation of fencing. Accordingly, there is no reasonable possibility that the Demolition will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The site of the Demolition is not located within a scenic highway and would not result in damage to any scenic resources. The site of the Demolition is not located on a site designated pursuant to Government Code 65962.5 (hazardous waste site). The Demolition does not involve any improvements, modifications, or other changes to a historical resource. The Demolition site is not located in a historical district or on a local historical inventory. There are no unusual architectural features on any of the structures to be demolished and they are not associated with a significant person or event. Therefore, none of the circumstances outlined in Title 14, California Code of regulations, section 15300.2 applies. Thus, the Demolition qualifies for the categorical exemption outlined above.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of the Emergency Demolition at 11820 168th St. is $228,667, plus the 15 percent contingency is an amount not to exceed $262,970. Approval of this item also includes a loan from the City's General Unassigned Fund Balance to the Housing Authority in the amount of $262,970. The loan and the interest would be repaid to the City at the time that the property is developed. If approved, the Housing Authority budget will be amended with the Mid Year Budget adjustment to reflect the loan and the cost of the emergency demolition.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, on Council's behalf:

3. Finding that the actions are exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.

Staff also recommends that the Housing Authority approve, and authorize the Executive Director of the Housing Authority to execute, on Commission's behalf:

2. The Loan Agreement; and

3. Finding that the actions are exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026 ITEM NO: 11B.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Code Enforcement Update
FROM: Paul Bollier, Community Development Director
REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:

Melissa Burke, Deputy City Manager
Jamie Murguia, Finance Director
Abel Avalos, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.

BACKGROUND:

On April 13, 2026, Staff made a presentation to the City Council regarding general code enforcement response and process steps for a general overview of how Code Enforcement cases are responded to and enforced. The presentation also included some information about the vacant property ordinance, illegal bulky items and graffiti management. At that time, the Council also approved Staff to move forward with acquiring mobile surveillance cameras to assist with enforcement against illegal dumping in hot spot locations.

Alignment with Fiscal Year 2026-27 Goals:

Goal No. 1: City Beautification - Develop Robust Code Enforcement Program Code Enforcement continues to identify opportunities and implement programs to enhance community beautification.

ANALYSIS:

Despite increased efforts, there has been an uptick in illegal bulky item dumping since the April 13, 2026 meeting.

As such, Staff is providing this report as an update to the City Council with a specific focus on how the City addresses bulky item dumping.

Illegal Dumping is a regional issue that the City is constantly combating. Addressing illegal dumping is a multipronged response. It requires Code Enforcement Staff to educate residents and property owners on their responsibilities, resources available, and ultimately to enforce the codes through citations when required. Code Enforcement also connects with CR&R, the City's solid waste hauler, to come collect illegally dumped items, and in health and safety instances, coordinates with the Public Works Department for pick up and disposal. It is important to note that Code Enforcement seeks to educate above all, and strives to have property owners address bulky item disposal correctly, to avoid future dumping.

To assist with combating illegal dumping, the City has completed several programs and changes over the last year.

When the City Council updated the municipal code, it provided Code Enforcement staff with greater flexibility to provide shorter compliance windows to ensure illegal dumping was addressed sooner. With the addition of the Southwest Patrol contract last year, the officers completing overnight patrols are also reporting dumping to staff each morning for staff to address and ensure removal. The City recently began deploying the mobile security camera in illegal dumping hot spots to hold offenders and property owners accountable. In September, the Code Enforcement team began a monthly alley sweep protocol to ensure all the alleys in the City are kept free from dumping and overgrown vegetation from adjacent properties. This month started with a flier passed out to all properties adjacent to an alleyway which shared their responsibilities and resources available.

Finally, Staff has been working through a restructure of the Code and Parking Departments to provide greater flexibility with personnel to address both code and parking issues compared to current structures where code and parking responsibilities are separated. Under the planned restructure, Code and Parking Officers would be renamed Community Services Officers. This action will create more personnel to address code enforcement issues throughout the day. The proposal also includes adding a part time position to the existing structure.

Staff will provide a presentation on illegal dumping, how it is addressed, how Staff have added resources, and proposed changes as outlined above.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed restructure of the Community Services Department will result in a net savings of $67,976 over the original budget. The General Fund will realize a net savings of approximately $116,872, while the Artesia Parking Authority Fund will absorb a net increase of approximately $48,895. Due to code and parking responsibilities all being covered by the full and part time Community Services Officers, staffing allocations are able to be shared between both the General Fund and the Parking Fund for all Community Service Officer positions, which is why a savings is realized in the General Fund. The change to the Department and allocation of staffing costs would be memorialized in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Mid-Year Budget.

Staff intends to allocate a portion of the General Fund savings to secure a second mobile surveillance camera in an amount not to exceed $35,000 to assist with illegal bulky item enforcement. This change will also be reflected in the Mid-Year Budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.
