18a. Measure FF Budget Recommendation - Expanded Fire Prevention Inspection Program (Reviewed by the Public Safety Committee)
From: Disaster and Fire Safety Commission
Recommendation: With the risk of catastrophic wildfire steadily increasing due to climate change, the Disaster and Fire Safety Commission (DFSC) recommends prioritizing wildfire fuel reduction in the FY 23 and FY 24 Measure FF budget by expanding the Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Inspection Program and fully enforcing the existing Fire Code to clear vegetation build-up and overgrowth within 100 feet of structures in Berkeley’s Very High Fire Severity Zones (VHFSZs) (Fire Zones 2 and 3). In addition, the Fire Code would be strengthened as needed to require removal of hazardous vegetation on the entirety of properties beginning in FY
25. The program would provide for City vegetation management crews to clear vegetation where property owners opt into the program or fail to comply, with no- interest liens placed upon properties to recover direct costs upon transfer. Special emphasis should be placed on eucalyptus groves due to their high flammability and potential to create spot fires. Funding for this expanded program, together with the Fire Department’s existing home inspection program, which is focused on creating defensible space around structures, would be supported by devoting 21 percent and 26 percent of Measure FF revenues for FY 23 and FY 24, respectively.
Policy Committee Recommendation: Positive recommendation to adopt the City Manager’s recommendation as presented in the companion report.

CONSENT CALENDAR
January 17, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Eleanor Hollander, Economic Development Manager Subject: Approval of donated sculpture gift, Queen Shamiram by Fred Parhad, valued at $225,000, for inclusion in the City of Berkeley’s Public Art Collection
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the gift of a sculpture by artist Fred Parhad titled Queen Shamiram, valued at $225,000, donated by Narsai and Venus David to the City of Berkeley’s Public Art Collection. The artwork will be installed for permanent display along the pedestrian path at the southeast corner of Maudelle Shirek Building at Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Allston Way as approved by the Civic Arts Commission.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The artwork valued at $225,000, will be donated to the City. Funding for the engineering and installation of the sculpture (estimated at $20,000) will come from the FY23 Budget of the Cultural Trust Fund (Fund 148) as approved by the Civic Arts Commission.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Queen Shamiram is a bronze sculpture by artist Fred Parhad depicting the historic figure Sammu-ramāt, queen of the Assyrian Empire (c.800 BCE), standing alongside a lion asleep at her feet. The work measures approximately 9 feet tall by 7 feet wide and will sit upon a 10-inch-high concrete base. The Civic Arts Commission would like to acquire this artwork for the City’s Public Art Collection for permanent display near the Maudelle Shirek Building located at 2134 Martin Luther King Jr Way. The sculpture will be donated by the artist and Narsai and Venus David, with $20,000 in engineering and installation costs funded by the Cultural Trust Fund (Fund 148). Through acceptance of this gift, the Civic Arts Commission seeks to diversify representation in public statuary in the City, and provide the Assyrian community of Berkeley a place to gather for cultural events. The artwork is anticipated to be installed by June 30, 2023.
BACKGROUND
In April 2018, the artist Fred Parhad and donors Narsai and Venus David, approached the Civic Arts Commission to propose giving the artwork Queen Shamiram to the City of Berkeley for public display near Civic Center. It is the artist and donors’ intention to have the Assyrian community of Berkeley gather at this artwork for cultural events. Assyrians
Acceptance of Queen Shamiram sculpture into the Public Art Collection CONSENT CALENDAR January 17, 2023
are an indigenous group native to Assyria in West Asia, a region currently divided between modern-day Iraq, southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, and northeastern Syria. A majority of modern Assyrians have migrated to other regions of the world, including North America, triggered by massacres, genocide, and impacts of wars in the region of the former Assyrian homeland.
In June 2019, the Civic Arts Commission approved the sculpture Queen Shamiram, valued at $225,000, as a gift to the City’s Public Art Collection, and its installation near the Maudelle Shirek Building (Ayes – An, Anno, Blecher, Bullwinkel, Covarrubias, Ozol, Ross; Nays – None; Abstain – None; Absent – Passmore, Slattery, Tamano). In May 2022, the Civic Arts Commission allocated $20,000 from the FY23 budget of Cultural Trust Fund (Fund 148) to pay for the engineering and installation of the sculpture (Ayes — Anno, Blecher, Bullwinkel, Covarrubias, La, Passmore, Woo; Nays — None; Abstain — None; Absent — Dhesi, Ozol).
Subsequently, Civic Arts staff identified the pedestrian path at the southeast corner of Maudelle Shirek Building at Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Allston Way as an ideal location for the sculpture. This location will not be impacted by future development of the Civic Center Vision Project. In June 2022, the Civic Arts Commission approved the exact sculpture location, depicted in Attachment 2 (Ayes — Anno, Blecher, Bullwinkel, Covarrubias, Dhesi, Ozol, Woo; Nays — None; Abstain — None; Absent — Passmore).
The site was also reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Department who supervise and lead the maintenance of park property. They take no issue with the sculpture location, and will work with Civic Arts staff to coordinate the artwork placement with any existing infrastructure in that area.
Per Berkeley Municipal Code Section 2.06.150, “any gift of funds, goods, or services worth more than $1000 in aggregate, which may be accepted or collected by the City or any of its functionaries or Legislative Bodies, for the purpose of carrying out or assisting any City function, shall be disclosed and approved on the Agenda of a regular Meeting of the City Council.”
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects, climate impacts, or sustainability opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Acceptance of this gift would allow the Civic Arts Commission to diversify representation in public statuary in the City, and provide the Assyrian community of Berkeley a place to gather for cultural events.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None.

Attachment 2
Fred Parhad is an Iraqi-Assyrian sculptor who is best
known for his monument of Ashurbanipal (Assyrian
King 600s BC), which stands in front of the Asian
Art Museum in San Francisco.
Parhad is a self-taught sculptor, who, at the
beginning of his career, focused on the art of ancient
Assyria. 1
Queen Shamiram, is based on the historic figure,
Sammu-ramāt, the queen of the Assyrian Empire
(c.800 BCE), who took over the thrown when her
husband, Shamshi-Adad V, died, and assumed rule
until her son, Adad Nirari III. came of age.
In 2018, the artist and Narsai and Venus David (the
donors), approached the Civic Arts Commission
about giving the artwork to the City of Berkeley
for public display near Civic Center. The Civic Arts
Commission approved the artwork for accession
into the Public Art Collection, and its permanent
public display.
It is the artist and donors’ intention to have the
Assyrian community of Berkeley gather at this
artwork for cultural events.

The proposed location is along the pedestrian path at the SE corner of the Maudelle Shirek Building in Berkeley, on MLK and Allston Way.
The Civic Arts Commission has allocated $20,000 from the FY23 budget Fund 148 for engineering and installation of the artwork. The goal is to install the artwork by June 30, 2023.
The installation location is under the supervision of the Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Department.
They take no issue with the installation and will work with Civic Arts Staff to coordinate the artwork with any existing infrastructure in that area. 3

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Henry Oyekanmi, Director, Finance
Subject: Contract No. 32000146 Amendment: Aramark for Uniforms and Laundering
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to Contract No. 32000146 with Aramark Uniform Services to continue to meet the uniform-related needs of City departments, extending the term through FY 2025 and increasing the contract amount by $550,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,017,000.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Funds are available in individual departmental budgets. An additional $110,000 is required to complete the current contract year due to increased products and services resulting from needs during pandemic, and that will continue forward. The two-year extension period is estimated at $220,000 per year ($440,000). This brings the the total projected expenditure over five (5) years to $1,017,000.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The original Aramark contract was approved in the amount of $467,000, which was intended to provide funding for three years. The pandemic caused departments to add new products (for example, a significant amount of reusable face coverings) which increased the need for laundering services. Additionally, Aramark’s performance has been satisfactory to the City during the contract period.
The City intends to extend the contract with Aramark for up to two (2) one-year periods to continue services. Estimated annual spend going forward is $220,000* per year. A spend breakdown is listed in the table below:
Initial Contract Amount $ 467,000
Additional funds required for initial contract period $ 110,000 Funds for two-year contract extension $ 440,000*
Total Contract not-to-exceed $1,017,000
Amendment of Aramark Citywide Contract for Uniforms and Laundering CONSENT CALENDAR January 17, 2023
BACKGROUND
The City of Berkeley is a relatively small account for the rental uniform and laundry industry. Pricing obtained by the City was higher than that of larger cities. City of Berkeley identified the City of Fresno contract, which leveraged a much larger workforce, but with similar uniform and laundry needs. The City of Fresno competed and awarded a multi-year contract to Aramark in 2019. Fresno received strong pricing based on their account size. The City of Berkeley is able to obtain the same pricing of the larger account by piggybacking on the City of Fresno contract. Aramark continues to attest to meeting the City of Berkeley’s Sweatshop-Free ordinance. The City is satisfied with Aramark’s uniform quality, other product quality, laundering and repair services, and delivery service, and, barring any major disruptions, or negative feedback, intends to continue with Aramark for the contract extension period.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
As noted in the original staff report for the Aramark contract, Aramark is undertaking several environmental initiatives such as wastewater reduction, fleet management, increasing operational efficiencies, and waste minimization efforts.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City has several job classifications requiring uniforms that meet specific standards.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The City considered administering its own RFP, however, because the City’s service need is relatively small compared to big Cities, the city will be unable to receive the economy-of-scale pricing with its solicitation. With staffing issues, as well as the availability and strong pricing of the City of Fresno contract, piggybacking the contract outweigh the City administering its own RFP at this time.

LAUNDERING
WHEREAS, City Council approved Resolution 69,073-N.S. on September 10, 2019 approving the contract for uniforms and laundering with Aramark by piggybacking on the City of Fresno’s available contract; and
WHEREAS, City departments require ongoing uniform, towels, mats, and laundering services, and have departmental budgets for those; and
WHEREAS, the pandemic led to additional products and services available in the contract; and

From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Lisa Warhuus, Director, Health, Housing, and Community Services Subject: Contract No. 32300064 Amendment: Tiana Sanchez International, LLC for HHCS Equity Consultant
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend Contract No. 32300064 with Tiana Sanchez International, LLC to add $21,077.73 and extend the term of the Health, Housing, and Community Services (HHCS) Equity Consultant contract to January 31, 2024 with a not to exceed amount of $141,077.73.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The amendment will add $21,077.73 with a total not-to-exceed amount of $141,077.73.
Funding for the Tiana Sanchez International, LLC’s (TSI) contract is available in the FY2023 budget in One-Time Grant (Fund 336-51-501-501-2075-000-451-612990).
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Amending the TSI Health, Housing, and Community Services (HHCS) Equity Consultant contract is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to champion and demonstrate social and racial equity. The additional funds will allow the TSI team to extend their contract term to January 31, 2024 which will provide additional time to work with HHCS staff to determine and recommend an appropriate equity framework. TSI’s contract began in October 2022 and had limited time to complete the project. This added funding and time will allow for a less abbreviated process and scope.
BACKGROUND
The City of Berkeley is a thriving community with considerable wealth, high levels of education attainment, and a rich culture that all contribute to a healthy community.
However, Berkeley is not a city where all people are living long and healthy lives and achieving the highest possible level of health. In Berkeley, African American/Black and other people of color are more likely to die prematurely and experience a wide variety of adverse health conditions throughout their lives. As reported in the 2018 City of Berkeley Health Status Report, higher incidence of disease is linked to neighborhoods that have been historically under-resourced and overexposed to unhealthy conditions.
Contract Amendment for Tiana Sanchez International, LLC for HHCS Equity Consultant CONSENT CALENDAR January 17, 2023
These neighborhoods have more people living in poverty and more people of color than surrounding neighborhoods. Like other jurisdictions, these historic and ongoing health inequities have been exacerbated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Communities of color, specifically African American/Black and Hispanic/Latinx residents, have a higher COVID-19 positivity rate, hospitalizations, and deaths compared to White residents.
Since 2018, extensive work has been done by HHCS to analyze and identify solutions to overcome the underlying issues that perpetuate these health inequities. HHCS programs serve individuals who are most impacted in Berkeley and continue to make progress toward solving health inequities that have existed and been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to these community programs, the divisions of HHCS have been conducting their own internal equity work. Solving these inequities involves a conscious effort to look at Department-wide systems and structures to define, codify, and systematize this work into a HHCS Strategic Plan for Health Equity. This Plan will include an adopted equity framework to guide Department-wide and Division- specific projects and systems, which will allow HHCS to achieve its overarching goal to create a City where all community members can achieve their highest level of health.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects, climate impacts or sustainability opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The additional funding identified will allow for a less abbreviated scope and timeline than the original funding alone did, and will support a more comprehensive process.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Staff did not identify other alternatives that are consistent with both the project goals and the CERI program guidelines.

January 17, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Aram Kouyoumdjian, Director of Human Resources Subject: Establish Classification and Salary – Medical Director
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution establishing the represented classification of Medical Director with a monthly salary range of $15,671.76 – 17,802.72.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The new classification and associated salary range is comparable to the physician classification that is currently fulfilling the Medical Director responsibilities. The hourly rate of the current Part-Time Physician classification is $101.67, and the top hourly rate for the proposed Medical Director position is $102.71. The minimal salary difference will be covered by salary savings in FY 23, and through Realignment funds in subsequent fiscal years. The revised classification and new salary range result in an increased salary impact to the General Fund as the position is 100% funded by the General Fund.
It is the department’s intention to maintain it as a part-time position.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Department of Health, Housing and Community Services (HHCS) is organized as an Office of the Director and five divisions [Attachment 1] that support the Department’s mission: Aging Services, Housing and Community Services, Environmental Health, Mental Health, and Public Health. The Public Health Division (PH) strives to achieve health equity in Berkeley by creating environments that optimize health and well-being for all, and through community-based partnerships. PH provides health education and promotion for tobacco cessation, cardiovascular/heart health, childhood health and nutrition, oral health, and adolescent health. The Division oversees and provides adolescent health services at the Berkeley High School and Berkeley Technology Academy Health Centers, immunization clinics for both adults and children, and provides maternal and child health services including prevention programs and targeted case management.
Historically, the duties of the position have been evolved greatly in the last 30 years and the position is currently filled by a Part-Time Hourly Physician who works approximately 10 hours per week, outlined by a job duties statement. It is the department’s intention to
Classification and Salary: Medical Director CONSENT CALENDAR January 17, 2023
maintain it as a part-time position. With the future retirement of that incumbent, Human Resources and the Department of Health, Housing and Community Services initiated a review of the duties and salary prior to recruiting, and drafted a job description for Medical Director [Attachment 2]. The proposed Medical Director classification would develop, plan and implement medical-related Public Health Division goals and objectives. Additionally, the Medical Director would support the City’s health education and services within the community. A licensed physician is required to sign certification statements of compliance with state and federal regulations, needed to operate the various public health clinics throughout the City.
BACKGROUND
To establish the job class specification of Medical Director, Human Resources and the Department of Health, Housing and Community Services sought input from the Manager of Public Health Services, Senior Managers from Health, Housing, and Community Services, and the current Part-Time Hourly Physician.
Bryce Consulting, an agency that provides a variety of human resource services to non- profit and public-sector clients, was retained to develop a job class specification and base salary recommendation. Agencies within the City’s identified labor market were reviewed to determine if they have a comparable classification, including Alameda County, City of Concord, City of Fremont, City of Hayward, City of Oakland, City of Palo Alto, City of Richmond, City and County of San Francisco, City of San Jose, City of San Leandro, San Mateo County, and Santa Clara County. Santa Clara County has a different structure as it has its own hospital. Given that there are only a few cities within the State of California that have a Public Health function, none of the cities had a comparable classification.
In the absence of labor market data, internal alignment was reviewed to determine an appropriate salary based on organizational level, scope, complexity, and requirements.
In reviewing the organizational chart, the position will report to the Manager of Public Health Services who has overall responsibility for managing the division; however, the Manager of Public Health Services is not a physician while the Medical Director is. The City currently has a Health Officer Certified classification that is responsible for enforcing local health orders and ordinances, regulations prescribed by the State Department of Health Services, and State statutes. The position reports to the Director of Health, Housing and Community Services and is required to be a licensed physician.
With the Medical Director having a slightly narrower scope of responsibility, it is recommended that the salary for the classification be set 10% below the Public Health Officer Certified. The recommended hourly wage of $90.41 – $102.71 represents 10% below the salary of the Public Health Officer Certified job class specification.
The Personnel Board discussed and voted unanimously at its December 6, 2022 meeting to send this classification and salary to the City Council for approval (Motion to Approve: Dixon, Wenk; Vote: Bartlow, Lacey, Karpinski, Gilbert, O’Loughlin; Noes:
None Abstains: None).

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City’s ’As-Is’ Cyber-Resilience Assessment evaluated the likelihood of an attack succeeding as “High” and our ability to contain it as “Low.” The consequences of such a successful attack was identified as potentially “Critical” (meaning the City could suffer severe to catastrophic losses in its capacity to operate as well as deliver services to our community).
Contract: Micro-Segmentation Solutions – Presidio & Illumio CONSENT CALENDAR January 17, 2023
The City currently utilizes a traditional network perimeter security more commonly known as firewalls. Today however, many attacks are also coming from inside the firewall so security experts have recognized that the traditional “seal the perimeter” methodology is obsolete or inadequate. We can no longer simply watch the border; we must secure from within the system as well.
The contemporary solution is to implement micro-segmentation which is about protecting what’s inside our network from attacks that could already be inside. The concept is simple; we segment parts of our data center away from the rest of the network, which keeps our network protected. Even if an attacker was to be inside our network, they wouldn’t be able to steal much data or cause critical damage as they would be limited within a segment, unable to make any moves to elsewhere in the network.
With micro-segmentation, individual users can safely access the data they need to do their job from anywhere (on-site or remotely), anytime, and from any device without risking the loss or exposure of data.
BACKGROUND
In late 2018, the City began development of its Cyber Resilience Plan (CRP) to help ensure the City is sufficiently and prudently equipped to handle cyberattacks and to help the City mitigate the effects of a successful cyberattack, should one occur. Micro- segmentation was identified as a risk area to address.
In May 2022, the City of Berkeley issued RFP No. 22-11501-C for Micro-Segmentation Solutions. The City received five (5) proposals from top vendors in micro-segmentation.
The Department of Information Technology conducted extensive research based on its architectural vision, defined technical prerequisites, needed solution requirements and capabilities, conversion and operational resource needs, potential vendors, and anticipated benefits to be realized. Department of Information Technology staff also consulted with other local governments that had implemented a similar contemporary security architecture. After extensive review of the proposals received, staff determined that Presidio, presenting the Illumio solution, provided the strongest bid for the City’s micro-segmentation project.
Micro-segmentation aligns with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan goals of creating a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared City and providing state-of-the-art, well- maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYAND CLIMATE IMPACTS
Both Presidio and Illumio are located in the Bay Area and all professional service technical staff will be local and available to work at all City sites. Additionally, delivery of some professional services may be conducted remotely, eliminating the need for travel to Berkeley and thus further reducing greenhouse gas emissions from commuting. This resolution continues to support the goals of environmental sustainability.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
In May 2022, the City of Berkeley issued RFP No. 22-11501-C for Micro-Segmentation Solutions. The City received five (5) proposals from top vendors in micro-segmentation.
After extensive review of the proposals received, Department of Information Technology staff determined that Presidio, presenting the Illumio solution, provided the strongest bid for the City’s Micro-Segmentation Project.
The City has an existing work relationship with Presidio for networking procurements and implementations, and Presidio presented to the City the micro-segmentation solution by Illumio, a top tier vendor in this space. The bid and solution were selected based on their price, technical and market leadership, implementation details, and the evaluated combined reputations and credibility of both Presidio and Illumio.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Staff considered not moving forward with implementing micro-segmentation and continuing with implementing network segmentation using switches and firewalls, but this approach can only provide limited visibility and few capabilities to contain an attacker’s movement within the City’s computer network. Micro-segmentation can be used to protect every virtual machine in our enterprise network with policy-driven, application-level security controls. Because security policies are applied at an application level, micro-segmentation tactics can significantly increase our security defense posture.

-exclusive rights to the common area (outdoor sidewalk area by the front door (approximately 1,600 sq. ft.) as shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibits "A". The Tenant understands that the building is adjacent to the James Kenney Community Center and on the grounds of James Kenney Park which provide recreational services to children and adults of all ages. Prior to using the common area for special events only, the Tenant agrees to provide at least thirty (30) days' written notice of intent to use J ames Kenney Park, site coordinator and
recreation manager to ensure that there are no other conflicting uses of the space. The Tenant agrees to cooperate with users of the Community Center and Park in use of the common area for ingress and egress. No items will be allowed to be stored within the common area. Items not related to the Tenants' program shall not be stored on the Premises at any time.
2. TERM
A. Initial Term and Term of Renewal. The initial term is for a period of approximately fifteen years. Tenant has the option, under certain terms and conditions as described below, to renew this lease for an additional five-year term. This Lease shall take effect once duly approved by the Berkeley City Council and executed by both Landlord and Tenant
6 (“the Effective Date”). The Initial Lease Term will expire at midnight February 28, 2038 (“the Termination Date”).
B. Procedure for Renewal. If Tenant wishes to renew the Lease beyond the Initial Lease Term, Tenant must provide written notice of such intent to Landlord at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines that Tenant has complied with all terms and conditions of the Lease, at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the Lease, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of any additional improvements that will be required to be completed by Tenant or increase in rent for a single five-year renewal term and shall provide notice of its determination to grant renewal of the lease upon condition that Tenant agrees to the additional improvements and increase in rent, if any, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term.
3. RENT
A. Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a minimum rental for its use and occupancy of the Premises an annual rent of SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS ($6000.00) for the first year of the Lease, increasing by 3% for each subsequent year of the original term and any option term.
For purposes of determining Rent, the first year of the Lease is the period up to February 28, 2024 and will be pro-rated for a partial year.
B. Manner of Payment. All rent and other payments due from Tenant shall be made to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America at Landlord's address for notice hereunder, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
C. Delinquency and Late Charges; Interest.
1. Tenant hereby acknowledges that its late payment of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult or impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and overtime wages. Accordingly, any payment of rent or other sum due hereunder that remains due and unpaid for a period of ten (10) days after it becomes due and payable shall be subject to a delinquency charge of ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount. The parties agree that such charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord shall incur by reason of Tenant's late payment. Landlord shall apply any monies received from Tenant first to any accrued delinquency charges and then to any rent then due. Acceptance of such delinquency charges by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount. The delinquency charge is in addition to all other remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease or at law.
2. Any amount due to Landlord, if not paid when due, shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate of the twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest shall not be payable on delinquency or late charges nor on any amounts upon which such charges are paid
7 by Tenant, to the extent such interest would cause the total interest to exceed that legally permitted. Payment of interest shall not excuse nor cure any default hereunder by Tenant.
D. Accord and Satisfaction. Landlord's acceptance of a lesser amount of rent or other sum due hereunder shall not be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent or payment due and shall be applied by Landlord as provided in subsection C.1. No endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any such check or payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment and pursue any other remedy available under this Lease or at law. Landlord may accept any partial payment from Tenant without invalidation of any contractual notice required hereunder (if required) and without invalidation of any notice required pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq., or any successor statute.
4. P
ROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES
A. P ossessory Interest Taxes. The property interests created by this Lease may be subject to property taxation and Tenant, in whom the possessory interest is vested, will be responsible for the timely payment of any property taxes levied on such possessory interest.
Tenant agrees to pay before delinquency all lawful taxes, assessments, fees or charges which at any time may be levied by the state, county, city or any tax or assessment levying body against the transfer of the leasehold interest hereunder upon recordation or otherwise, or upon any activity carried on under this Lease, any interest in this Lease or any possessory right which Tenant may have in or to the Property or the Premises by reason of its use or occupancy thereof or otherwise.
B. City of Berkeley Assessments. Tenant also shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to delinquency all assessments imposed against the Property and/or the Premises by the City. Tenant acknowledges that City has established certain assessment districts within the City of Berkeley and that all properties within the assessment districts are subject to annual assessments. The City reserves the right to create additional districts and to terminate any such district(s). Tenant shall be billed for each such assessment in the same manner as other property owners and lessees in the City.
C. Personal Property and Other Taxes.

8 such rental; (ii) upon or with respect to the development, possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the or any portion thereof; (iii) upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures, merchandise, and other personal property located at or in the Premises or by the cost or value of any improvements made by Tenant to the Premises, regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be in Tenant or Landlord; or (iv) upon this Lease or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest in the Premises.
D. Tenant's Right to Contest. Tenant may, at no cost to Landlord, reasonably conte st the legal validity or amount of any taxes, assessments, or charges for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease, and institute such proceedings as Tenant considers necessary; provided, however, that Tenant shall at all times protect Landlord from foreclosure of any lien, and that Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceeding or contest brought by Tenant.

City shall have no responsibility to make any repairs or modifications to the premises in order to comply with accessibility standards, except as set forth in other provisions of this Lease.

The parties acknowledge and agree that one of the principles underlying the terms and conditions of this Lease is Tenant's agreement to perform specified capital improvements on the Premises in exchange for abated rent and a 15-year term of occupancy. The parties have thoroughly inspected the Building and Premises and have entered into this Lease on the assumption that the capital improvements set forth in Exhibit B represents a reasonable estimate of the improvements necessary to preserve, enhance and improve the condition of the Building through the term of this Lease. However, the parties also acknowledge and agree that certain events (for example, latent or unanticipated defects or damage to the Premises, accessibility requirements, etc.) may give rise to substantial, unavoidable expenses that materially and adversely affect Tenant's ability to perform its obligations under this Lease. In such event, upon Tenant's written notice to Landlord, Landlord shall temporarily defer declaring default pursuant to Section 19 of this Lease, and the parties, in good faith, shall employ their best efforts to negotiate amendments to the Lease that recognize Tenant's financial hardship while preserving to the extent possible the original terms and intent of the Lease.

Copies of the applicable prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file at Landlord's principal office and will be made available to any interested party on request. Tenant agrees to post a copy of the prevailing rate of per diem wages at the Premises. Tenant, as a penalty to Landlord, shall forfeit Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) for each calendar day, or portion thereof (or such other sum as specified from time to time by Section 1775 of the California Labor Code), for each worker paid less than the applicable prevailing rates for such work or craft in which such worker is employed.
The difference between such prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by Tenant.
2. Tenant agrees to keep or cause to be kept by each contractor and subcontractor an accurate payroll record for each worker employed on Tenant's Work covered by this subsection H showing all of the information specified in subsection (a) of Section 1776 of the California Labor Code.

Tenant shall be responsible for complying with Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code concerning apprenticeable occupations, with respect to all work covered by that Section.

Tenant shall forthwith repair the same, at its sole expense. In this event, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the loss, repair, and replacement of its equipment and leasehold improvements.
B. Anything in subsection A to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Tenant nor Landlord shall have any obligation to repair or rebuild the Premises or the Buildings following damage or destruction thereto if the damage or destruction is due to any cause or casualty other than one against which the responsible party is required to carry insurance or actually does carry insurance and such party reasonably estimates that the cost of repair or rebuilding exceeds ten percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the Premises or Buildings, as the case may be. If the responsible party elects not to repair any damage or destruction pursuant to this provision, such party shall give the other party notice of such election within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage or destruction; and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage or destruction.

A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall (1) immediately defend and
18 (2) indemnify Landlord, and its directors, officers, and employees from and against all liabilities regardless of nature, type, or cause, arising out of or resulting from or in connection with the Lease. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. The Tenant's obligation to indemnify applies regardless of whether a liability is a result of the negligence of any other person, unless it is adjudicated that the liability is caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
B. The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from the Tenant’s duty to indemnify. The Tenant shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the Landlord, the Landlord and its directors, officers, and employees, immediately upon submittal to the Tenant of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. A determination of comparative active negligence or willful misconduct by an indemnified party does not relieve the Tenant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend Landlord. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent defense counsel if Tenant asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party, Tenant may submit a claim to the Landlord for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs.
C. The review, acceptance or approval of any of Tenant’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Tenant’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section survives the termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this Lease relating to insurance.
D. Liabilities subject to this Section include any claim of discrimination or harassment, including but not limited to sexual harassment, arising from the conduct of the Tenant or any of the Tenant’s officers, employees, agents, licensees, or subcontractors. In the event of a discrimination or harassment complaint against any employee, agent, licensee or subcontractor of the Tenant or its subcontractors, the Tenant shall take immediate and appropriate action in response to such complaint, including, but not limited to termination or appropriate discipline of any responsible employee, agent, licensee or subcontractor.

A. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall procure and maintain the following insurance:
1. Commercial general liability insurance insuring Tenant against any liability arising out of its use, occupancy, repair or maintenance of the Premises, the Building, James Kenney P
ark, with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 for injury to or
19 death of one or more persons in any one accident or occurrence and Property damage in any one accident or occurrence. Such comprehensive general liability insurance shall include fire liability coverage and public liability and Property damage insurance, including personal injury, broad form Property damage, blanket contractual, and other coverage as may be reasonably required by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to require Tenant to increase the amount of its comprehensive general liability insurance coverage if, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, the amount of such coverage is not sufficient in light of the risks insured and Tenant's use of the Premises or James Kenney Park.
2. Special Form Property insurance for cost of damage to the Premises, including, without limitation, during any term of construction of Tenant's work, builders' All- Risk Insurance. Such insurance shall include coverage for vandalism and malicious mischief and cost of demolition and increased cost of construction by reason of changes in applicable ordinances/laws and shall not contain a co-insurance clause.
B. All policies of insurance and all renewals thereof shall be approved as to form and sufficiency by Landlord's Risk Manager and shall be issued by good and responsible companies qualified to do and doing business in California and rated A+: XIII or better in the most recent version of B
est's Insurance Guide. Each of the required insurance coverages except for workers compensation (i) shall name Landlord and each of its Affiliates as additional insureds and, with respect to casualty insurance, as their respective interests may appear and (ii) shall provide that it may not be canceled or altered by the insurer in such manner as to adversely affect the coverage unless sixty (60) days' prior notice is given by certified mail to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 35 below, or to such place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a notice to Tenant.
C. An original certificate of each policy of insurance shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the date the Premises is delivered to Tenant and from time to time during the Term. If Tenant shall fail to procure or maintain any insurance required hereunder or shall fail to furnish to Landlord any duplicate policy or certificate, Landlord may obtain such insurance; and any premium or cost paid by Landlord for such insurance shall be reimbursed by Tenant promptly upon Landlord's demand. Tenant shall make good faith efforts to ensure that at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, an extension endorsement showing that such insurance coverage has been or will be renewed or extended shall be delivered to Landlord and if, despite such good faith efforts, such extension endorsement cannot be timely delivered, Tenant shall cause to be delivered to Landlord within said time other reasonable documentary evidence of renewal of coverage and shall continue exercising diligent efforts to deliver to Landlord the required extension endorsement. If such coverage is canceled or reduced, Tenant, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction in coverage but in no event later than the effective date of cancellation or reduction, shall deliver to Landlord a certificate showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or provided through another insurance company(ies). Upon Tenant's failure to so deliver such certificate, Landlord may, without further notice and at its option, (1) exercise Landlord's rights as provided in this Lease or (2) procure such insurance coverage at Tenant's expense and Tenant shall promptly reimburse
20 Landlord for such expense.
D. If any of the insurance required in this Section 15 is provided under a claims- made form of policy, Tenant shall maintain such coverage continuously throughout the Term and without lapse for a period of not less than five (5) years beyond the termination of this Lease, to the effect that should occurrences during the Term give rise to claims made after termination of this Lease, such claims shall be covered by such claims-made policies.
E. Each of Tenant's Property insurance policies insuring the Premises and Tenant's Property in the Premises shall include a waiver of the insurer's right of subrogation against Landlord, or, if such waiver should be unobtainable or unenforceable, (i) an express agreement that such policy shall not be invalidated if the assured waives, before the casualty, the right of recovery against any party responsible for a casualty covered by the policy or (ii) any other form of permission concerning the assured's right to waive its right of recovery. If such waiver, agreement or permission shall not be, or shall cease to be, obtainable, Tenant shall so notify Landlord promptly after learning thereof.
F. Tenant hereby releases Landlord with respect to any claim (including a claim for negligence) which Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord for loss, damage or destruction of Tenant's Property occurring during the Term to the extent to which Tenant is insured under a policy (ies) containing a waiver of subrogation or agreement or permission to release liability, as provided in E. above. If, notwithstanding the recovery of insurance proceeds by Tenant for such loss, damage or destruction, Landlord is liable to Tenant with respect thereto or is obligated under this Lease to make replacement, repair, restoration or payment, then (provided Tenant's right of full recovery under its insurance policies is not thereby prejudiced or otherwise adversely affected) the amount of the net proceeds of the Tenant's insurance against such loss, damage or destruction shall be offset against Landlord's liability to Tenant therefore or shall be made available to Landlord to pay for replacement, repair or restoration, as the case may be. Nothing contained herein shall relieve either party of any duty to repair, restore or rebuild imposed elsewhere in this Lease or shall nullify any abatement of rent provided for elsewhere in this Lease.
G. If Tenant employs any person, it shall carry workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance and shall provide a certificate of insurance to the Landlord. The workers' compensation insurance shall: provide that the insurance carrier shall not cancel, terminate, or otherwise modify the terms and conditions of said insurance except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Landlord; provide for a waiver of any right of subrogation against Landlord to the extent permitted by law; and be approved as to form and sufficiency by the Landlord's Risk Manager.

16. CO MPLIANCE WITH LAWS
A. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall promptly comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits or requirements now or hereafter in effect (whether foreseen or unforeseen by Landlord or Tenant), with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or similar body now or hereafter constituted; with any occupancy certificate issued by any public officer and with the provisions of all recorded documents affecting the Premises, insofar as any of the foregoing relate to or affect the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises or the Building. Such compliance by Tenant shall include, without limitation, compliance with all obligations to alter, maintain, or restore the Premises (and, as applicable, the Building), or construct improvements in or to the Premises, regardless of cost and regardless of when during the term of the Lease the work is required.
B. Tenant acknowledges that conducting its operations at the Premises and making certain alterations and improvements may require an authorization, approval or permit (collectively, "Regulatory Approval") from a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining any such Regulatory Approval, and Tenant shall not seek any Regulatory Approval without first obtaining the approval of Landlord, except for the items listed on Exhibit “B”. All costs associated with applying for and obtaining any necessary Regulatory Approval shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for complying with any and all conditions imposed by regulatory agencies as part of a Regulatory Approval; however, Landlord shall not take any action that would materially interfere or prevent Tenant from complying with all such conditions. Any fines or penalties imposed as a result of the failure of Tenant to comply with the terms and conditions of any Regulatory Approval shall be paid and discharged by Tenant, and Landlord shall have no liability, monetary or otherwise, for said fines and penalties, except to the extent that such fines or penalties were caused by the willful acts or omissions of Landlord. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any loss, expense, cost, damage, attorneys' fees, penalties, claims or liabilities which Landlord may incur as a result of Tenant's failure to timely obtain or comply with the terms and conditions of any Regulatory Approval. Landlord agrees to cooperate (but only to the same extent and in the same manner as a non-public entity could so cooperate,
22 and not as an exercise of Landlord's police or regulatory power) with Tenant in filing, processing and obtaining all Regulatory Approvals, and upon request of Tenant, to join with Tenant as co- applicant in filing, processing and obtaining all Regulatory Approvals; provided, however, that Landlord may refuse to file, process or obtain Regulatory Approvals or to join Tenant as a co-- applicant if Landlord determines in its sole and absolute discretion that it is not in Landlord's best interest to do so. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or otherwise constrain Landlord's discretion, powers, and duties as a regulatory agency with certain police powers.
C. Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in its capacity as a landowner with a proprietary interest in the Premises and not as a regulatory agency of the City of Berkeley with certain police powers. Landlord's legal status shall in no way limit the obligation of Tenant to obtain any required approvals from Landlord's departments, boards, or commissions that have jurisdiction over the Premises. By Landlord's entering into this Lease, neither Landlord nor any of City Council, boards, commissions, agencies, departments, or Affiliates obligates itself to any other governmental agent, board, commission or agency, or to Tenant, or to any other individual or entity, with regard to any discretionary action relating to development or operation of the Premises or James Kenney Park. Discretionary action includes but is not limited to rezonings, variances, environmental clearances, or any other governmental agency approvals that may be required or desirable for the improvement, alteration, or operation of the Premises or James Kenney Park. By entering into this Lease, Landlord is in no way modifying or limiting the obligation of Tenant to cause the Premises to be used and occupied in accordance with all laws.
17. AS
SIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
A. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or hypothecate this Lease or all or any portion of the Premises or Tenant's interest in and to the Premises (collectively, an "Assignment") or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof or permit the Premises or any portion thereof to be used, occupied or managed by anyone other than Tenant pursuant to any Lease, use or concession agreement or otherwise (collectively, a "Sublease") without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent. Any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be voidable and, at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default. City has the sole discretion to determine whether to agree to any sublease or assignment.

CONSENT CALENDAR
January 17, 2023
To: Honorable Members of the City Council
From: Mayor Jesse Arreguín
Subject: Support for SB 4: Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution in support of Senate Bill 4 with amendments, the Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act, introduced by Senator Scott Weiner. Send a copy of the Resolution to Governor Gavin Newsom, State Senators Nancy Skinner and Scott Weiner, and Assemblymember Buffy Wicks.
BACKGROUND
Development of new affordable housing is essential for meeting our goals of creating a more equitable and accessible city. In a 2020 community survey, 80% of respondents said that affordable housing and homeless services are either extremely or very important. Under the 2023-2031 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) cycle, almost 9,000 units of housing is needed to be constructed in Berkeley, with almost 4,000 of those available to those at low and very low-income levels. Despite the need and desire to create affordable housing, restrictive zoning rules, bureaucratic regulations, and increased construction costs have made it increasingly difficult to identify and finance such development. Under the draft Housing Element for the City of Berkeley, infill developments will play a key role in meeting RHNA numbers.
A 2020 report by UC Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing Innovation revealed that around 38,800 acres of land in California, or an area slightly larger than the City of Oakland, is used for religious purposes and potentially developable. Much of this land is located in urban counties and areas the State had identified as high resource opportunity areas. There is a growing trend of religious institutions wanting to develop lots owned by them into affordable housing, but are often met with barriers that significantly limit the size and scope of such developments or makes it financially infeasible altogether.
SB 4, the Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act, introduced by State Senator Scott Weiner, would streamline the building process for religious institutions and independent institutions of higher education that want to build 100% affordable housing on their land.
Qualified proposals, as outlined in the bill, would be eligible for a use by right, and would require construction workers receive prevailing wages. However, to help increase opportunities for employment in the construction industry which is currently experiencing
Support SB 4 – Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act CONSENT CALENDAR January 17, 2023
shortages, the bill should be amended to include apprenticeship and training programs at such projects.
Berkeley is home to an extensive number of religious institutions, with multiple examples of such organizations providing land to create affordable housing. In 2022, Jordan Court opened, providing 34 units of affordable housing for seniors, in partnership with All Souls Episcopal Parish. Also in 2022, a vacant eight unit apartment was renovated and converted into permanently affordable housing under the Small Sites Program, in partnership with the McGee Avenue Baptist Church, which owns the property. Two other projects currently under development that involve partnerships with local religious institutions. St. Paul Terrace, which will provide 49 units at 30-60% AMI near Ashby BART, will be built on land owned by the St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church. Another South Berkeley development, the Ephesian Legacy Court will provide 79 one-bedroom units at 30-60% AMI on land owned by the Ephesian Church of God in Christ. These projects, many of which are infill developments would not have been able to go forward without significant support from the City, including funding from Measures O and U1 and zoning changes to enable these developments to move forward.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Creating infill housing developments, especially in areas near public transit, is a vital goal of the Berkeley Climate Action Plan, as it will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, which remains a significant source of the City’s emissions.

SENATE BILL No. 4
Introduced by Senator Wiener
(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Wicks)
(Coauthors: Senators Eggman and Gonzalez)
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Gabriel, McKinnor, and Ward) December 5, 2022
An act to add Section 65913.16 to the Government Code, relating to housing.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 4, as introduced, Wiener. Planning and zoning: housing development: higher education institutions and religious institutions.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. That law allows a development proponent to submit an application for a development that is subject to a specified streamlined, ministerial approval process not subject to a conditional use permit, if the development satisfies certain objective planning standards.
Existing law, the Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon Housing and Home Finance Act, establishes the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee within the Department of Housing and Community Development.
Existing law requires the committee to allocate state low-income housing tax credits in conformity with state and federal law that establishes a maximum rent that may be charged to a tenant for a project unit constructed using low-income housing tax credits.
This bill would require that a housing development project be a use by right upon the request of an applicant who submits an application for streamlined approval, on any land owned by an independent
99
institution of higher education or religious institution on or before January 1, 2024, if the development satisfies specified criteria, including that the development is not adjoined to any site where more than one-third of the square footage on the site is dedicated to industrial use.
The bill would define various terms for these purposes. Among other things, the bill would require that 100% of the units, exclusive of manager units, in a housing development project eligible for approval as a use by right under these provisions be affordable to lower income households, except that 20% of the units may be for moderate-income households, provided that all of the units are provided at affordable rent, as set in an amount consistent with the rent limits established by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, or affordable housing cost, as specified. The bill would authorize the development to include ancillary uses on the ground floor of the development, as specified.
This bill would specify that a housing development project that is eligible for approval as a use by right under the bill is also eligible for a density bonus or other incentives or concessions, except as specified.
The bill would require a development subject to these provisions to provide off-street parking of up to one space per unit, unless a local ordinance provides for a lower standard of parking, in which case the ordinance applies. The bill would prohibit a local government from imposing any parking requirement on a development subject to these provisions if the development is located within one-half mile walking distance of a high-quality transit corridor or major transit stop, as those terms are defined, and within one block of a car share vehicle.
This bill would require a local government that determines a proposed development is in conflict with any objective planning standards, as specified, to provide the developer with written documentation explaining those conflicts under a specified timeframe. The bill would require a local government to approve a development if the local government fails to provide the requisite documentation explaining any conflicts. The bill would authorize a local government to conduct a design review, as described, only if the design review focuses on compliance with the requisite criteria of a streamlined, ministerial review process. The bill would prohibit a local government from using a design review, as specified, from inhibiting, chilling, or precluding a streamlined, ministerial approval. The bill would require a local government to issue a subsequent permit for developments approved under the provisions of this act.
99 — 2 — SB 4
The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA does not apply to the ministerial approval of projects.
This bill, by requiring approval of certain development projects as a use by right, would expand the exemption for ministerial approval of projects under CEQA.
By adding to the duties of local planning officials with respect to approving certain development projects, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.

City Council’s approval of the five-year lease agreement with owners of the Berkeley Inn, located at 1720 San Pablo Avenue, is critical in maintaining Berkeley’s commitment to sheltering homeless populations as the Horizon Transitional Village, also administered by Dorothy Day house, provides 50 beds for unsheltered and encampment populations and will be closing at the end of this month on December 31, 2022. This hotel conversion fills a dire need for an alternate location to house this vulnerable population that likely would otherwise end up back on the street and in encampments. Additionally, it provides non-congregate shelter rooms that are preferred and more likely to be accepted by persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness by future residents.
BACKGROUND
Opportunity Sites for Homeless Shelters are Extremely Limited. The City’s lease of the Berkeley Inn, a 27-room motel, to serve as a transitional non-congregate shelter facility replaces a larger 50-bed congregate shelter facility located at 742 Grayson Street. The Grayson site, known as the Horizon Transitional Village Program, is scheduled to close on Dec. 31, 2022 due to the termination of the City’s lease with the private property owner. The City was able to extend its lease for the Grayson facility on Sept. 29, 2022 through the end of the year, but no further extensions are available. Staff have noted that the City engaged in an exhaustive search of City facilities to replace the Grayson facility, but none were found to be suitable, safe, or available for year-round use as a shelter for vulnerable homeless people1. The number of motel operators willing to partner with the City is also limited; the City has previously housed homeless individuals at the Berkeley Inn with the use of 28-day motel vouchers provided by the county.

3 Opportunity Sites for Homekey Permanent Supportive Housing (Golden Bear Inn) Identified by Respondents to City’s Request for Proposals (RFP). The City issued an RFP for a Homekey permanent supportive housing site in October 2021, with the option for RFP respondents to submit proposals for opportunity sites citywide. The selection of the Golden Bear Inn at 1620 San Pablo Avenue is the result of an RFP respondent identifying the site and a motel owner willing to sell as well as submitting a viable application to the City–which happened to be the only Homekey application the City received. Permanent supportive housing has been found to be the evidence-based solution to unsheltered homelessness.2 The San Pablo Corridor is a Priority Development Area. In 2021, the City of Berkeley received a $750,000 grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to begin developing a master plan for the San Pablo Corridor. It is the priority of Councilmember Kesarwani to use the limited grant funds to study effective city policies for filling vacant retail spaces (including by reviewing effective policies in neighboring local jurisdictions) and other strategies for supporting a thriving non-residential sector of small businesses, non-profit organizations, and arts and cultural institutions.
State Housing Laws Have Taken Away Control from Local Jurisdictions to Deny or Lower the Density of Projects, When They Meet Specific Requirements. Over the last several years, new state approved housing laws limit both cities’ ability to reject development projects if they comply with local zoning and design rules, such as the Housing Accountability Act, and the number of times neighborhood groups can appeal such projects, such as SB 330. State law affects cities’ authority over development in additional ways: it further limits local government’s authority over development by speeding up approvals if affordable housing is included; it prevents cities from ordering design changes that would result in fewer units being built; and bars governments from changing zoning rules once a project has been proposed. Yet another piece of legislation, California’s Density Bonus law, allows developers to exceed local zoning limits if projects include affordable units. The goal of these housing laws is to keep cities from arbitrarily denying or delaying the construction of much needed housing. As a result, a community’s ability to alter or slow down development projects has been limited.
Housing Development Along San Pablo Corridor Is Driven by Decisions of Private Property Owners. In recent years, a number of parcels along the San Pablo Corridor have been developed or plans are underway to do so. 2 See:Permanent Supportive Housing: Evaluating the Evidence for Improving Health Outcomes Among People Experiencing Chronic Homelessness, National Academies Press, 2018.

● 1835 San Pablo Avenue: entitled project for mostly market rate housing ● 1740 San Pablo Avenue: 54 units of affordable housing, approved and in process
● 1701 San Pablo Avenue: 110 affordable units for Berkeley Unified School District workforce, approved and in process
● 1620 San Pablo Avenue: 44 units of permanent supportive housing, approved and operating
● 1080 Jones Street, The Jones (at 1500 San Pablo Avenue): 170 units mostly market rate - operating and occupied
● 1201-1205 San Pablo Avenue: 66 units of mostly market rate housing - approved
● 1200 San Pablo Avenue: 7 story project previously approved by the Design Review Commission
The decisions to develop these parcels are not driven by the City, but by private property owners. Development occurs throughout the city where a private property owner wishes to do so.
FISCAL IMPACT
The security assessment will require one-time staff attention, and implementation of security measures may result in one-time and/or ongoing costs to the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Enhanced safety can encourage more residents to patronize the area on foot or bike, thus reducing vehicle miles traveled.

Subject: Resolution in Support of SB-36 (Skinner)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution in support of SB-36: Out-of-state criminal charges: prosecution related to abortion and gender-affirming care (Skinner) and send copies to Senator Skinner, Assembly Member Wicks and Governor Newsom.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
None.
BACKGROUND
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022 at least 13 states passed laws that make seeking or providing an abortion a felony offense. Four states have enacted laws or regulations banning gender-affirming care and 15 additional states are considering legislation to do so. California, on the other hand, has passed a package of bills that establish it as a safe haven for those fleeing prosecution for seeking abortion and gender-affirming care in other states.
SB-36 seeks to provide protections and supports in California to any person fleeing a felony prosecution, conviction, or sentence in another state for seeking an abortion or gender-affirming care, and to anyone assisting them with getting that care.
The bill would make it illegal for bounty hunters and bail agents to apprehend people who fled criminal prosecution or imprisonment for providing, receiving or supporting abortion or gender-affirming care. Bounty hunters and bail agents who violate the new statute would be guilty of a misdemeanor and face up to a year in jail and forfeiture of their license to operate in California.
SB-36 author Senator Nancy Skinner stated, “My ‘Safe Haven’ law will send a message to any bounty hunter who tries to enforce another states’ reactionary law: Do so and you’ll face jail time and lose your license.”
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
No direct impact.

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
SENATE BILL
NO. 36
Introduced by Senator Skinner
December 05, 2022
An act to amend Sections 847.5 and 1299.02 of the Penal Code, and to amend Section 11486.5 of, and to add Section 18901.33 to, the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to out-of-state criminal charges.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 36, as introduced, Skinner. Out-of-state criminal charges: prosecution related to abortion and gender-affirming care.
Existing law authorizes a magistrate to issue a warrant, upon application by a bail bondsman, as described, for an individual fleeing bail in another state and found in this state upon a finding of probable cause for believing that the person is a fugitive. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to take a person who is a fugitive admitted to bail in another state into custody, except pursuant to a magistrate’s order.
This bill would prohibit a magistrate from issuing a warrant for the arrest of an individual whose alleged offense or conviction is for the violation of law of another state that authorizes a criminal penalty to an individual performing, receiving, supporting, or aiding in the performance or receipt of an abortion or gender-affirming care if the abortion or care is lawful under the laws of this state, regardless of the recipient’s location. The bill would make a bail bondsman who takes such an individual into custody without a warrant guilty of a misdemeanor and ineligible for and subject to

forfeiture of specified licenses. The bill would create a civil cause of action for an individual taken into custody in violation of this provision. By creating a new crime, this bill would create a state- mandated local program.
Existing law, the Bail Fugitive Recovery Persons Act, prohibits a person, other than a certified law enforcement officer, to apprehend, detain, or arrest a bail fugitive unless the person is a licensed a bail fugitive recovery agent, or both a bail licensee and private investigator who are also bail fugitive recovery agents. Existing law makes a violation of the Bail Fugitive Recovery Persons Act a misdemeanor.
This bill would prohibit a person authorized under the act from apprehending, detaining, or arresting a bail fugitive who has been admitted to bail in another state and whose alleged offense or conviction is for the violation of a law of another state that authorizes a criminal penalty to an individual performing, receiving, supporting, or aiding in the performance or receipt of an abortion or gender-affirming care, if the abortion or care is lawful under the laws of this state, regardless of the recipient’s location. The bill would make a violation of this provision a misdemeanor and make the authorized individual ineligible for and subject to forfeiture of specified licenses. The bill would create a civil cause of action for an individual taken into custody in violation of this provision. By expanding the application of a crime, this bill would create a state-mandated local program.
Existing law provides for the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program, under which each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to qualified low- income families and individuals. Existing federal law establishes the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), known in California as CalFresh, under which supplemental nutrition assistance benefits allocated to the state by the federal government are distributed to eligible individuals by each county. Existing federal regulations disqualify a fleeing felon, as defined, from receiving benefits under the CalFresh program.
This bill would require that the determination of whether a person is fleeing to avoid prosecution for purposes of eligibility in the Calworks program be made pursuant to a specified federal regulation. The bill would also make a person who is fleeing to avoid prosecution, or custody and confinement after conviction, whose alleged offense or conviction is for the violation of a law of another state that authorizes a criminal penalty to an individual performing, receiving, supporting, or aiding in the performance or receipt of an abortion or gender-affirming care, if the abortion or care is lawful under the laws of this state, regardless of the location of the patient, eligible for benefits under these programs. Because this would expand the eligibility requirements for these programs, this bill would create a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $1,000 per Councilmember, including $1,000 from Councilmember Robinson, to Pacific Center for Human Growth to assist with urgent lease signing and renovation costs.
BACKGROUND
Founded in 1973, Pacific Center for Human Growth is the oldest LGBTQIA+ center in the Bay Area, the third oldest in the nation, and operates the only sliding scale mental health clinic for LGBTQIA+ and QTBIPOC people and their families in Alameda County.
Utilizing nearly 200 volunteers and 11 staff members, Pacific Center provides culturally- responsive therapy, peer-to-peer support groups, community outreach services, and facilitated workshops for Alameda County and the greater Bay Area LGBTQIA+ communities. They currently serve over 3,000 people a year through their programs.
Pacific Center is relocating from their Berkeley location on Telegraph Avenue due to the property being sold to a new owner. After months of searching and negotiating, they have successfully secured a space that fits their needs and are signing the new lease on February 1, 2023. They need to raise funds for signing costs, as well as additional funds for the installation of a wheelchair lift to make the space fully accessible.
