CONSENT CALENDAR
June 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Eleanor Hollander, Economic Development Manager Subject: Contracts: Fine Art Services Providers for the Public Art Collection

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt three Resolutions authorizing the City Manager to execute three contracts and any associated amendments with the following companies for on-call fine art services for the City of Berkeley’s Public Art Collection, for a contract period through June 30, 2026.
 Gizmo Art Production, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $200,000.  ARG Conservation Services for an amount not to exceed $150,000.  Modify the existing Atthowe Fine Art Service for amount not to exceed $400,000 (thereby increasing Contract Number 32300137 by $200,000).

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Funding ($550,000) for Fine Art Service Provider contracts is available in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, from the Cultural Trust Fund, fund number: 148-21-208-252-0000- 000-446-612990.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City of Berkeley’s Public Art Collection comprises approximately 50 outdoor, permanently-sited artworks including sculpture, architectural design elements, mosaics, tile artworks, and murals. It also includes over 50 portable artworks such as etchings, paintings, textiles and prints displayed in City buildings. The City is charged with the maintenance and conservation of the existing collection, as well as the acquisition of new artworks through the public art commissioning process.

Many consulting services are needed to carry out this work on an ongoing basis. This includes specialized artwork conservation, storage, fabrication, framing, transportation, installation, audio/visual services, and documentation. It also includes curatorial, project management and registrar services specific to the field of public art. As the Civic Arts Program continues to expand its capacity to deliver more public artwork to the City while continuing to care for the existing collection, the demand for these contracted services has increased.

BACKGROUND
On February 24, 2021, Civic Arts Program staff issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Specification No. 21-11438-C, for a Prequalified Pool of Fine Art Services Providers.

The following services were included in the RFQ:

A. Contractors to install and de-install large-scale works of public art B. Fine Art Conservators
C. Art Care Technicians, Audio Visual Technicians, and Artwork Preparators D. Fine Art Transportation and Storage
E. Art Photography, Videography, Graphic Design, Computer Aided Design (CAD) for Artwork Placement Renderings, Digital Imaging, and Sign Makers F. Fine Art Framing Services
G. Fine Art Fabrication
H. Public Art Curation and Project Management
I. Art Collection Registrar Services
A panel comprised of City staff and an outside arts professional evaluated and scored 30 applicants to establish a prequalified pool of contractors that met the requirements for each service category. On May 23, 2023, Council authorized contract amounts for the following prequalified service providers:
 Atthowe Fine Art Services, for an amount not to exceed $200,000.  Kala Art Institute, for an amount not to exceed $100,000.  Preservation Arts LLC, for an amount not to exceed $200,000.  ShipArt International (DBA UOVO), for an amount not to exceed $100,000.

Over the next two fiscal years (FY2025 and FY2026), the Civic Arts Program anticipates it will require a range of the additional services listed in the RFQ. Based up analysis of upcoming project needs, new contracts will be needed with Gizmo Art Production, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $200,000 and ARG Conservation Services for an amount not to exceed $150,000. Finally, the existing contract with Atthowe Fine Art Services must be increased by $200,000 for a new total contract amount not to exceed $400,000.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Henry Oyekanmi, Director, Finance Department Subject: FY 2025 Tax Rate: Fund Debt Service on Neighborhood Branch Library Improvements Project General Obligation Bonds (Measure FF, November 2008 Election)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2025 tax rate for funding the debt service on the Neighborhood Branch Library Improvements Project General Obligation Bonds (Measure FF, November 2008 Election) at 0.0048%.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The tax levy of the recommended 0.0048% will result in estimated collections of $1,350,000. This amount (along with existing funds on hand) is sufficient to make the debt service payments on March 1, 2025 and September 1, 2025.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The 0.0048% tax rate for FY 2025 being set by the City Council is based on the debt service, the estimated FY 2025 assessed values for all rolls (secured, unsecured and utility), a delinquency reserve of 5%, and the surplus remaining in the fund. Since Alameda County does not release final assessed value figures until early August, the City is using preliminary values. Staff is confident that the preliminary values will not be materially different from the County's final figure. The City must establish a tax rate that will be sufficient to make debt service payments even if there are unusual levels of delinquency. The tax rate in FY 2025 is a decrease in the rate charged in FY 2024.

Because all taxes collected from the general obligation levy will be deposited in a special fund, and collections not used to pay debt service for the FY 2025 bond year will be retained in the fund to pay future obligations, the tax impact of any over-collection will be credited against future debt service payments and the required levy.

It is recommended that the City Council authorize a FY 2025 tax rate of 0.0048% which will result in the following cost to the average homeowner during FY 2025:

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.

BACKGROUND
In November 2008, the residents of Berkeley voted for and approved Ballot Measure FF, in the sum of $26,000,000 of General Obligation Bonds to renovate, expand, and make seismic and access improvements at the four neighborhood branch libraries (excluding the Central Library).

The indebtedness on the total bonds issued of $26,000,000 is payable solely from the levy of an ad valorem tax against taxable property in the City. The proceeds of the bonds were used to renovate, expand, and make seismic and access improvements at the four neighborhood branch libraries (excluding the Central Library). $10,000,000 of the $26,000,000 in authorized bonds were issued in 2009, and the remaining $16,000,000 of bonds were issued in 2010. The tax rate above reflects the debt service payments for the fiscal year.

June 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Henry Oyekanmi, Director, Finance Department Subject: FY 2025 Tax Rate: Fund the Debt Service on the Street and Watershed Improvements General Obligation Bonds (Measure M, November 2012 Election)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2025 tax rate funding the debt service on the Street and Integrated Watershed Improvements General Obligation Bonds (Measure M, November 2012) at 0.0064%.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The tax levy of the recommended 0.0064% will result in estimated collections of $1,800,000. This amount (along with existing funds on hand) is sufficient to make the debt service payments on March 1, 2025 and September 1, 2025.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The 0.0064% tax rate for FY 2025 being set by the City Council is based on the current debt service, the estimated FY 2025 assessed values for all rolls (secured, unsecured and utility), a delinquency reserve of 5%, and the surplus remaining in the fund. Since Alameda County does not release final assessed value figures until early August, the City is using preliminary values. Staff is confident that the preliminary values will not be materially different from the County’s final figure. The City must establish a tax rate that will be sufficient to make debt service payments even if there are unusual levels of delinquency. The tax rate in FY 2025 is a decrease in the rate charged in FY 2024.

It is recommended that the City Council authorize a FY 2025 tax rate of 0.0064% which will result in the following cost to the average homeowner during FY 2025:

BACKGROUND
In November 2012, the residents of Berkeley voted for and approved Ballot Measure M, for the sum of $30,000,000 of General Obligation Bonds to accelerate street repaving and rehabilitation consistent with the 5-Year Street Rehabilitation Plan, integrating green infrastructure to the extent feasible.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2025 tax rate funding the debt service on the Infrastructure and Facilities Improvements General Obligation Bonds (Measure T1, November 2016) at 0.0136%.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The tax levy of the recommended 0.0136% will result in estimated collections of $3,800,000. This amount will be sufficient to make the debt service payments on the 2017 Series A and 2021 Series B Bonds with debt service on March 1, 2025 and September 1, 2025.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The 0.0136% tax rate for FY 2025 being set by the City Council is based on the current debt service of the Series A and Series B Bonds, the estimated FY 2025 assessed values for all rolls (secured, unsecured and utility), a delinquency reserve of 5%, and the surplus remaining in the fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2025 tax rate for Business License Tax on large non-profits at $0.8207 (82.07 cents) per square foot of improvements.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The increase in the tax rate from $0.7909 (79.09 cents) per square foot of improvements in FY 2024 to $0.8207 (82.07 cents) per square foot of improvements in FY 2025, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 3.767% will result in estimated total collections of approximately $597,829 from $576,121 in FY 2024.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The non-profit organizations with over 120,000 square feet of business improvements were taxed at a rate of $0.7909 (79.09 cents) in FY 2024, as approved by the voters with Measure S on November 2, 2010. That measure also approved the indexing of tax for inflation, based on the higher of Personal Income Growth or the Consumer Price Index in May. The PIG reported on April 30, 2024 was 3.62% while the CPI reported on May 15, 2024 by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics was 3.767%.

BACKGROUND
In 1994, the voters of California adopted Article XIII, Section 26 of the California Constitution, which prohibits local governments from taxing non-profit organizations based on their gross receipts. Prior to this date, the City’s business license tax ordinance had imposed a gross receipts tax on non-profit organizations, which raised approximately $250,000 per year. Article XIII, Section 26 does not prohibit local agencies from taxing non-profit organizations on bases other than gross receipts. On November 3, 1998, the voters approved Measure G with over 61% of the votes cast.

Measure G amended the City’s business license tax ordinance to impose a charge of $0.51 (51 cents) on the square footage of business improvements over the first 120,000 square feet, and would be indexed for inflation annually for the following year in May, by the greater of the increase in the cost of living in the immediate San Francisco Bay Area

Submitted by: Henry Oyekanmi, Director, Finance Department Subject: FY 2025 Tax Rate: Fund the Maintenance of Parks, City Trees and Landscaping

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2025 tax rate for funding all improvements for the maintenance of parks, City trees, and landscaping in the City of Berkeley at $0.2210 (22.10 cents) per square foot of improvements.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The tax levy of the recommended $0.2210 per square footage will result in estimated collections of $18,297,945 for the Park Tax Fund. The increase in the tax rate of $0.0080 per square foot will result in a $15.20 annual increase for the citywide average 1900 square foot home.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The FY 2024 tax of $0.2130 is being adjusted by the Consumer Price Index of 3.767% as authorized on November 3, 2020, by voter approved Measure LL as the voters approved the greater of the Consumer Price Index in the immediate San Francisco Bay Area of

3.767% or Personal Income Growth increase in California of 3.620%.

It is recommended that City Council authorize the levy of a special tax of $0.2210 per square foot of all improvements in the City of Berkeley. The tax will result in a cost to taxpayers in the following average amounts during FY 2025, as compared with the amounts for FY 2024:

BACKGROUND
On May 6, 1997, the voters of the City of Berkeley approved a special tax solely to provide funding for the direct cost of acquisition and maintenance of improvements related to parks and landscaping in the City of Berkeley. As a result of the requirements of State Proposition 218, this special tax replaced the annual revenue previously generated by the Citywide Landscape Assessment District.

The tax may be increased or decreased annually in May, according to the greater of the increase or decrease in the cost of living in the immediate San Francisco Bay Area or personal income growth in the state of California, as verified by official United States economic reports.

On November 3, 2020, over 81% of Berkeley voters approved Measure LL to re-authorize the City, for a period of four (4) years through FY 2024, to spend the Parks Maintenance tax as approved by the voters.

FY 2025 Tax Rate: Fund Emergency Services for the Severely Disabled CONSENT CALENDAR June 4, 2024

Page 2 ends

BACKGROUND
The Emergency Services for the Severely Disabled Tax (Measure E) was passed by the voters in November 1998. The tax is used to provide emergency services and incidental case management for severely physically disabled persons. The City Council is authorized to increase the tax rate by the greater of the Consumer Price Index in the immediate San Francisco Bay Area or Personal Income Growth in California.

On November 3, 2020, over 81% of Berkeley voters approved Measure LL to re- authorize the City, for a period of four (4) years through FY 2024, to spend the emergency services for the severely disabled tax.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The City Council may consider maintaining the current tax rate of $0.02018 with projected revenue of $1,673,845 and no increase to property owners. Or, the City Council may consider increasing the tax rate by the Personal Income Growth increase in California of 3.620%. This would result in projected revenue of $1,731,250 and an increase of $1.39 for the citywide average 1900 square foot home.

Subject: FY 2025 Tax Rate: Fund Firefighting, Emergency Medical Response and Wildfire Prevention (Measure FF)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2025 tax rate for funding Firefighting, Emergency Medical Response and Wildfire Prevention (Measure FF) in the City of Berkeley at the annual tax rate of $0.1220 (12.20 cents) per square foot of improvements.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The tax levy rate of the recommended $0.1220 per square foot of improvements is projected to yield approximately $10,102,578 in revenues.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The FY 2024 tax rate of $0.1176 is being adjusted by the Consumer Price Index of

3.767% based on Berkeley Municipal Code 7.83.020 as adopted by the City Council under Ordinance No. 7,745-N.S. on June 16, 2020. Measure FF is a special parcel tax for firefighting, emergency medical response and wildfire prevention that limits the annual tax rate based on the greater of the increase in the cost of living in the immediate San Francisco Bay Area or per capita personal income growth in California. It is estimated that the tax will cost taxpayers the following amounts for FY 2025, as compared with FY 2024:

Square
Feet FY 2024 FY 2025
1,200 $ 141.12 $ 146.40

FY 2025 Tax Rate: Fund Firefighting, Emergency Medical CONSENT CALENDAR Response and Wildfire Prevention (Measure FF) June 4, 2024

Page 2 ends

BACKGROUND
Measure FF authorized a special parcel tax for the purpose of funding firefighter and emergency medical response, upgrades to the 9-1-1 dispatch system, hazard mitigation, and wildfire prevention and preparedness activities.

In 2008, voters passed Measure GG to stop fire stations from being closed and services from being reduced, in the context of a major economic downturn. Measure GG designated the Disaster and Fire Safety Commission a formal oversight role, the duties of which are replicated, with respect to Measure FF, through the passage of this Council item.

Now, with rising challenges from climate change and fires, bigger demands on our emergency services, and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, Measure FF was placed on the November 2020 ballot by a unanimous vote of the City Council and it was approved by voters, to provide funds to modernize the City’s 9-1-1 dispatch system, upgrade equipment, hire additional paramedics, improve emergency alert systems and continue to clear fire fuels, among other things.

The effective date for this tax was January 1, 2021. The City will raise approximately $10,102,578 for FY 2025.

Subject: Contract No. 32300165 Amendment: KLD Associates: Evacuation and Emergency Response Analysis

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend to Contract No. 32300165 with KLD Engineering, P.C. for evacuation and response time modeling to reassign to KLD Associates through June 30, 2026, and to provide an option to extend for an additional five (5) years and add $200,000, making initial term plus extension NTE $600,000 through June 30, 2031.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
This resolution authorizes an additional $200,000 in expenditures beyond what the Council approved on March 14, 2023 in Resolution 70,712-N.S. All funds required to pay for this contract are in the Department’s baseline operating budget. Funding sources may include but are not limited to: Measure FF, UC Settlement, and the General Fund.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City is partway through work with a contractor to perform a novel evacuation and response time analysis. During the course of the contract work, five key changes occurred:

1. The original contract was executed in March 2023 with KLD Engineering, P.C. In July 2023, KLD Engineering, P.C. reached a strategic agreement to transfer its evacuation and emergency planning business line to KLD Associates. As part of this transfer, the professional staff working on the project with the City also transferred to KLD Associates;

2. Staff from the Planning & Development Department identified a need to use this contract to assess impacts to evacuation and response times from other projects that would increase infill development;

3. Draft reports to help meet State evacuation planning requirements required additional analysis beyond what was originally envisioned;

Page 1 of 4 ends

Page 171 ends

Contract Amendment: Evacuation and Emergency Response Analysis CONSENT CALENDAR June 4, 2024

Page 2 ends

4. Staff determined that ongoing as-needed analysis would be required beyond the contract’s original extended expiration date; and

5. The County of Santa Barbara is not extending its contract (on which the City of Berkeley piggybacked) with KLD Engineering, P.E.

BACKGROUND
On May 18, 2023, the City executed a contract with KLD Engineering, P.E. for traffic evacuation and evacuation modeling services. This contract piggybacked on a County of Santa Barbara contract which expires on June 30, 2024.

This work is required by the State of California within SB 99, AB 747, and AB 1409. The City also requires related professional services in the areas of traffic and evacuation modeling and planning to help the community make informed decisions about the impacts of future transportation projects on evacuations, responder ingress during evacuations, and daily responder response times to emergencies of various types.

This contract is designed to achieve three objectives: (1) to analyze the City’s primary evacuation routes to understand their capacity, safety, and viability under emergency scenarios; (2) to provide an analysis of any public safety impacts resulting from projected development of new accessory dwelling units (ADUs), junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs), and their associated extra vehicles in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ); and (3) to analyze the impact of some recently completed, planned, and proposed (as needed) roadway projects have on evacuation capacity, responder ingress during evacuation, and to daily emergency apparatus response times.

Thus far, KLD Engineering, P.E. staff has been working with City staff to create the underlying architecture necessary for these analyses: they have conducted a road survey, created a link-node analysis network, completed a demographic survey, gathered and analyzed data for evacuation scenarios, and conducted analysis to assist with compliance with State evacuation laws (SB 99, AB 747, and AB1409).

The team at KLD Associates has significant experience in evacuation and response time modeling and since 2023 has been providing the City with evacuation services.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identified environmental sustainability or climate related impacts to this work.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff from KLD Associates has performed this work for the first year of the contract with KLD Engineering, P.E. This team has already developed a detailed traffic model that will underly any evacuation time studies. This team has collected and begun analysis on voluminous data from response apparatus. This team has deep familiarity with the Berkeley community, key sites, hazards, and other data that will inform evacuation and

response times. Due to this and the specific experience with the City of Berkeley listed above, competing for this service is not amenable.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Competing for the service was considered, however, the specific experience with the City outweighs market competition for this contract period.

Subject: Contract: Pinnacle for Pilot Fire Department Alternative Medical Response Unit

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract and any amendments with Pinnacle Training Systems, LLC (Contractor) to provide nurse practitioner services for a pilot alternative medical response unit from June 17, 2024 to January 31, 2025 in an amount not to exceed $510,000 with an option to extend for three additional one-year terms in a total not to exceed $2,700,000.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The term of this contract is from June 17, 2024 to January 31, 2025 in an amount not to exceed $510,000 for the base term. There is an option to extend for three additional one-year terms in a total not to exceed $2,700,000. This contract will be funded through a variety of funding sources including Measure FF, General Fund and future grant funds.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Department worked with General Services to release RFP Specification No. 24- 11647-C for Fire Department Partnership for Alternative Medical Response Unit on January 31 with proposals due on March 21, 2024. The City did not receive any responses despite advertising and direct outreach to over twenty-five local organizations inviting them to submit a proposal. Because of the scope and timelines associated with the Department and City’s needs, and due to a lack of proposals from the RFP process, the Department is proposing to award to a qualified contractor that did not originally respond to the RFP. The vendor that was selected has a 15-year history of providing comprehensive National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) compliant physical examinations to 27 agencies using a combination of Nurse Practitioners and Physicians Assistants. The vendor has been working with the Department for two years and has proven to be reliable, communicative, and adaptable – all qualities that will be critical to successfully navigate this novel program.

Further, the proposed clinician that will be assigned to this unit comes with a plethora of experience working with underserved communities. From 2017-2019, she gained street

Page 1 of 5 ends

Page 175 ends

Contract: Pinnacle for Pilot Fire Department Alternative Medical Response Unit CONSENT CALENDAR June 4, 2024

Page 2 ends

medicine experience as a Physicians Assistant student clinician with Crimson Care Collaborative in Boston. As part of that project, she worked with the Harvard Medical School faculty to provide medical evaluations and follow up care at a homeless shelter in downtown Boston during evening hours where she was able to build a therapeutic alliance and develop a trusting relationship with patients.

The clinician has also had the opportunity to shadow community led public health programs including alcohol and methamphetamine rehabilitation facility, jail health services for incarcerated patients, and participated in traditional healing practices on Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Finally, the clinician has EMT experience on ALS ambulances in the 911 system in Napa County with Napa City Fire Department and CalFire from 2014-2016. There, she responded to emergency medical calls, provided medical care and transported patients to hospitals. All this makes the proposed clinician experienced and culturally competent which well prepares her to provide the service the Department is seeking.

The services to be provided include, but are not limited to:
 Staff an alternative 911 emergency medical response unit  Respond to reports of non-life-threatening medical incidents and fire department referrals
 Connect 911 users with healthcare and social services resources appropriate for their needs
 Absorb low acuity medical calls for service from the 911 system  Provide comprehensive in-home medical care for patients with non-emergent medical complaints
 Offer patients an in-home option to receive convenient medical follow-up to a 911 call
 Prevent habitual use of the 911 system for routine medical care  Coordinate and connect patients to allied networks of providers through referrals and warm hand-offs when appropriate
Berkeley Fire Emergency Alternative Response is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to:
 create a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared city.  champion and demonstrate social and racial equity.
 be a customer-focused organization that provides excellent, timely, easily accessible service and information to the community.

BACKGROUND
In the first months of the pandemic, the Department identified a need to divert non- critical patients from 911 ambulance transport, and the hospital systems to support an anticipated surge in high acuity COVID-19 patients. The Mobile Integrated Paramedic (MIP) pilot was created and deployed.

Page 2 of 5 ends

Page 176 ends

Contract: Pinnacle for Pilot Fire Department Alternative Medical Response Unit CONSENT CALENDAR June 4, 2024

Page 3 ends

The traditional low acuity medical calls for service requires a fire engine / truck and an ambulance to respond. It was identified that assigning the MIP to low acuity medicals would reduce resource drain for this type of call for service. The program provided a relief valve not just for fire resources, but also alleviated congestion of our local hospitals. The MIP improved public health education, connected patients with healthcare resources, and social services that were more likely to bring sustained relief or resolution to a patient’s needs.

During the eight (8) week pilot period when the MIP was assigned to a call for service, there was a 75% drop in the rate of ambulance transport. This reduced the fire engine / truck and ambulance Unit Hour Utilization (UHU) which is the percentage of time that a unit is assigned to 911 calls. In addition to dropping UHUs, the MIP was also connecting patients with the resources they needed more effectively. The program allowed providers to follow up with those patients they had contacted to better support their ongoing health care needs.

Since the end of the MIP pilot the regulatory landscape has changed. Changes that directly relate to the MIP include an end of the emergency order by President Biden and Governor Newsom, as well as limitations to the paramedic scope of practice under CCR Title 22 and Assembly Bill 1544. Current scope of practice for 911 paramedics in Alameda County leaves paramedics with two courses of action, they can transport a patient to an emergency department, or they can leave them at the emergency scene.

This provides little flexibility to divert patients to the most appropriate resource for their needs.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There were no identified environmental or climate impacts.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
In order to address the high UHUs and to adapt to a changing regulatory environment, it was determined that launching a unit with a Physician’s Assistant (PA) will provide a substantially better and more effective service to the community including the added benefit of being able to deliver primary health care to patients without having to transport them to the emergency department. The PA will be able to dedicate time to low acuity medical complaints and investigate the social determinants of health that lead to the activation of the 911 response.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
An alternative to this unit, as noted in the Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment would be to deploy additional Fire/EMS response units. This option would have an exponentially higher annual recurring cost (3m per fire engine, 1.5m per

ambulance) and would require additional facility space, for which there is no funding.

Finally, this alternative action would increase the number of deployed response units thereby reducing UHUs but it would not address social determinates of health, or the underlying cause of overuse of the 911 system.

RESOLUTION NO. ##,###-N.S.

Contract: Pinnacle for Pilot Fire Department Alternative Medical Response Unit WHEREAS, during the pandemic, the Department identified a need to divert non-critical patients from 911 ambulance transport, and the hospital systems to support an anticipated surge in high acuity COVID-19 patients, and WHEREAS, Mobile Integrated Paramedic (MIP) pilot was created and deployed in response to the need for call diversion and; proved that responding to low acuity medical calls would reduce resource drain for this type of call for service.; and WHEREAS, the MIP proved that responding to low acuity medical calls provided relief on the 911 system and BFD staff; and
WHEREAS, Title 22 and Assembly Bill 1544 requires providers to institute a community paramedicine program to transport patients to behavioral health facilities; and WHEREAS, the Department released RFP Specification No. 24-11647-C for Fire Department Partnership for Alternative Medical Response Unit on January 31 with proposals due on March 21, 2024, and
WHEREAS, the City did not receive any responses despite advertising and direct outreach to over twenty-five local organizations inviting them to submit a proposal, and WHEREAS, the City and Department have an urgent need to deploy alternative resources that can help reduce the use of the 911 system for low acuity, non-emergency patients and reduce the number of habitual system users.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Berkeley that the City Manager is authorized to execute a contract and any amendments with Pinnacle Training Systems, LLC (Contractor) to provide nurse practitioner services for a pilot alternative medical response unit from June 17, 2024 to January 31, 2025 in an amount not to exceed $510,000 with an option to extend for three additional one-year terms in a total not to exceed $2,700,000.

Subject: Contract: Tablet Command for Mobile CAD and Incident Command

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or her designee(s) to enter into a contract and any amendments with Tablet Command for Mobile Computer Assisted Dispatch (Mobile CAD) and Incident Command by piggybacking on a contract with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). The Berkeley contract will be effective July 1, 2024 and end on September 30, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $77,250. Following an extension approved by the OCFA, the contract may be extended for up to four additional one-year renewal terms at a cost not to exceed an additional $65,000 per year.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
All funds required to pay for this contract are in the Department’s baseline operating budget. Funding sources include but are not limited to Measure FF and the General Fund.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Department is seeking a Mobile Computer Assisted Dispatch (Mobile CAD) computer program that will provide a real-time interface and two-way mobile communication capability for responders with the City’s CAD system.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Gilman, Interim Director, Health, Housing, and Community Services Subject: Amending the Five-Year Plan and Submitting Application for Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee to amend the five-year Permanent Local Housing Allocation plan and apply for and accept funds from the State of California's Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program, in an amount not to exceed $3,321,617.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The City of Berkeley is currently eligible to apply for two years of funds through the State’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program, not to exceed $3,321,617, fund #302. The funding would be used for Housing and Community Services (HCS) programs in support of lower income and/or unhoused residents.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City will apply for up to $ $3,321,617 in PLHA funds through California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). This funding represents Years 3 ($2,212,637) and 4 ($1,108,980) of the City’s five-year PLHA Plan, which was submitted in 2020 and amended in 2021. The application includes an amendment to the five-year PLHA Plan to allow for a broader application of funds to support existing HCS programs, including the Housing Trust Fund program and homeless services. Adjustments to the funding plan in excess of 10% require Council and HCD approval and must be submitted with the application.

PLHA funds can be used to support a variety of planning or implementation activities related to housing and community development carried out by HCS within the Department of Health, Housing, and Community Services. HCS staff anticipate using the funds for the following eligible activity categories: 1) The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live- work, or rental housing that is affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households, including necessary operating subsidies; and/ or 2) Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including providing

Amending the Five-Year Plan and Submitting Application for CONSENT CALENDAR Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program June 4, 2024

Page 2 ends

rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing, along with grant administration (within the established limit of funds).

The City will allocate an estimated 25 to 50% of funds (equal to at least $500,000 per year) to operating subsidies for homeless households such as shelter operations and navigation services. This will allow existing homeless shelters in Berkeley to continue to operate 24/7 and provide housing navigation services to assist participants in accessing permanent housing. Up to 5% is available to the City for admin to support program implementation. The remaining 45 to 70% of funds will be applied to the Housing Trust Fund program to increase and/or preserve Berkeley’s affordable housing inventory through rehabilitation, new construction, and necessary operational subsidies. Funds will be leveraged with other local, state and federal revenue sources as needed as part of the City’s Housing Trust Fund program to support this work.

BACKGROUND
PLHA is intended to provide a permanent, on-going source of funding to local governments for eligible housing-related activities and programs that assist in increasing the supply of affordable homes in California and addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities. Funds are generated from a $75 recording fee on certain real estate transaction documents, so the amount allocated through the program varies year to year. PLHA is noncompetitive, with funds allocated to cities based on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) distribution formula.

HCD estimated a total allocation of $7,761,504 to the City during the five-year period.

To access the funds, the City is required to have a five-year PLHA Plan, amend it when needed, and submit streamlined applications for each year of funding. The City used funds from Years 1 and 2 to support the operating of the navigation center (STAIR) and for the Golden Bear Homes – a Homekey project.

The City is required to use HCD’s resolution template for the application and the plan amendment for this Council item.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no environmental sustainability and climate impacts directly associated with the recommendations in this report.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
If approved, an application for PLHA funds will make up to $3,321,617 available for Berkeley to support City programs that serve lower income or unhoused populations.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Gilman, Interim Director, Health, Housing, and Community Services Subject: Contract No. 32300134 Amendment: Bonita House for Specialized Care Unit Provider

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or her designee to amend Contract No. 32300134 with Bonita House to add $500,000 of funding from the American Rescue Plan Act grant for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $5,345,500.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
This amendment will add $500,000 of funding from the State of California for a total not- to-exceed contract amount of $5,345,500. Funding for the Bonita House contract for the Specialized Care Unit (SCU) will be available in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) One-Time Grant Fund (Fund 354). These ARPA funds were previously allocated to HHCS for implementation of the Specialized Care Unit as a part of the broader initiative to Reimagine Public Safety, and this recommendation is consistent with that allocation.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The SCU is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to champion and demonstrate social and racial equity. City Council approved the selection of Bonita House as the SCU service provider on December 13, 2022. Throughout 2023, Bonita House has hired and trained staff for the SCU. The SCU began providing crisis response services to the Berkeley community on September 5, 2023. Bonita House continues to recruit, hire, and train staff to serve on the SCU, expanding hours into the evening and ramp up to operate 24/7 as staffing allows. This additional funding will support ongoing program implementation costs including, but not limited to recruitment, hiring, training, infrastructure, and salary costs for staff providing direct response services for Berkeley community members experiencing a behavioral health crisis.

BACKGROUND
As part of the Re-Imagining Public Safety process, the City engaged in research and planning to implement a 24/7 SCU to respond to and support people who are experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis without direct involvement of the

Page 1 of 3 ends

Page 2 ends

police. The SCU is different than the City’s current Mobile Crisis Team, which is a partnership of Health, Housing, and Community Services Department, Mental Health Division (HHCS/MH) and the Police Department.

Design for the SCU began in Fall 2020 with contracted consultant, Resource Development Associates (RDA), and the establishment of the SCU Steering Committee, an advisory group of HHCS and Berkeley Fire Department staff and representatives of the Berkeley Mental Health Commission and Berkeley Community Safety Coalition.

After extensive work with the community, the City selected Bonita House as the provider for the SCU and services began in September 2023.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
These additional funds will support Bonita House’s ability to continue to implement the SCU pilot program in the City of Berkeley as it expands to a 24/7 crisis services model without law enforcement.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
No alternative actions were considered because these funds are meant to be used to support the implementation of the Specialized Care Unit as allocated as a part of the broader Reimagining Public Safety process.

WHEREAS, this grant funding has been awarded to support direct services costs incurred by SCU staff providing behavioral health crisis response services in Berkeley as well as necessary equipment purchases.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Berkeley that the City Manager or her designee is authorized to amend the SCU Contract No. 32300134 with Bonita House by adding $500,000 for a not-to-exceed amount of $5,354,500.

Funding will be available in the FY2025 budget in the American Rescue Plan Act One- Time Grant Fund (Fund 354), which was specifically allocated for SCU implementation as a part of the broader initiative to Reimagine Public Safety.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Gilman, Interim Director, Health, Housing and Community Services Subject: Contract No. 32400236 Amendment: Creative Educational Consultants, Inc.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or her designee to amend existing Contract No. 32400236 with Creative Educational Consultants, Inc., for the period beginning June 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025, as follows:
1) expand the scope to
include additional positive youth development opportunities for African American/Black and Latinx Berkeley youth; 2) increase the contract limit by $25,300 (from $49,700 to

$75,000); and 3) extend the contract end date to June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
This recommendation is to allocate an additional $25,300 from the Youth Equity Partnership (YEP) in Fund 011 General
Fund to expand and extend its youth
development work with Creative Educational Consultants, Inc., through Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25). This recommendation is fiscally neutral since the funding is already available in the existing YEP Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) budget.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Youth Equity Partnership is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to champion and demonstrate
social and racial equity. African American/Black and Latinx young people have limited opportunities to have a meaningful voice in community issues and decision-making. The proposed amendment will enable YEP to engage a

cohort of approximately 20 African American/Black and Latinx high school and community college students who will receive extensive training and coaching on how to

identify, research, analyze and present equity-related issues in their community. For the culmination of this project, students will conduct Community Equity Projects. Students will conduct research and present their findings in community settings. This project will

help African American/Black and Latinx young people to gain skills and will provide opportunities for the Berkeley community to hear their perspectives on issues that matter to them.

Page 2 ends

BACKGROUND
In FY24, YEP piloted a Youth Review Panel, to explore a different approach to youth engagement in Berkeley. YEP hired a team of 20 African American/Black and Latinx high school and community college students to develop funding recommendations to City Council for the FY25 - 28 community agency contracting cycle. For this project, YEP contracted with Creative Educational Consultants, Inc., to design and deliver training and facilitation, with a lens on racial equity in the Berkeley community. Up to three students from the Youth Review Panel will be hired to co-facilitate and mentor the

new cohort of students who will participate in this project.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
No anticipated environmental sustainability or climate impacts are associated with this project.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The proposed amendment supports the City of Berkeley’s core value of advancing social and racial equity. Racial equity lies at the center of this project and all of YEP’s efforts. Student evaluations indicate that the Youth Review Panel had a strong, positive impact on participants. In addition, the City benefited from the diverse insights, cultures

and perspectives that the Youth Review Panel brought to the community agency contracting process. The next phase of this work will provide leadership opportunities to

past participants, while extending learning and growth opportunities to a new cohort of African American/Black and Latinx young people. This work will be designed to enrich both participants and the larger Berkeley community.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
YEP staff explored conducting this project without a consultant. However, with a staff of only two people, YEP cannot execute this project independently. Creative Educational Consultants, Inc., also brings added expertise in youth development, facilitation, restorative justice and other areas that complement YEP’s contributions. The other alternative would be not to move forward with the project -- a missed opportunity to the

City and to the many Black and Brown students in Berkeley who could benefit.

A Shelter Plus Care grant from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $2,327,914 for COACH Project (COACH) for the period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024; and b. A federal Shelter Plus Care grant received via Alameda County in a not-to- exceed amount of $927,164 to provide tenant-based rental assistance to individuals who are chronically homeless and disabled from March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025; and

2. $2,438,926 for COACH Project (COACH) for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Health, Housing, and Community Services’ Housing and Community Service Division (HHCS/HCS) has administered Shelter Plus Care grants for many years as part of the City’s strategy to end homelessness. Each of the Shelter Plus Care grants and the grant from Alameda County provides funds for rental subsidies from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Grant revenues are deposited and expensed out of Funds 347 (Shelter+Care HUD), and 348 (Shelter+Care County), respectively. With the exception of the required 25% service match, these grants fund 100% of the program costs. HUD allows up to 10% of each grant to be used to administer the rental subsidies, which supports HHCS/HCS’s grant-related administrative activities.

Shelter Plus Care Program Renewal Grants CONSENT CALENDAR June 4, 2024

Page 2 ends

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Based on a national competition, HUD and Alameda County awarded funding to the City of Berkeley to renew four Shelter Plus Care grants that provide rental assistance to a minimum of 220 households annually. The City’s Shelter Plus Care Program provides federal rental subsidies that are matched by locally provided services to transition formerly homeless, disabled individuals and families into permanent, supportive housing. These grants currently provide tenant-based rental subsidies for approximately 300 households to rent from private property owners in Berkeley, Albany, Alameda, Oakland, and Emeryville.

Each of the participants in the program receives case management and other supportive services provided by local agencies, such as Bay Area Community Services (BACS), Insight Housing (IH Formerly Berkeley Food and Housing Project BFHP); City of Berkeley Mental Health Division (BMH); City of Berkeley Aging Services Division (Aging); Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS); East Bay AIDS Center (EBAC); Lifelong Medical Care (LLMC); and the Women’s Daytime Drop-In Center (WDDC).

BACKGROUND
Since 1995, the City of Berkeley Shelter Plus Care Program has been an important component of the continuum of housing available to disabled homeless families and individuals. The Shelter Plus Care Program is funded by HUD and the County of Alameda to provide housing subsidies for people who are homeless with a disability.

The program combines a rental subsidy with ongoing supportive services to assist chronically homeless individuals and families to obtain and maintain housing.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental impacts or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Acceptance of the four Shelter Plus Care renewal grants will assure that approximately 290 homeless and disabled individuals and families in Berkeley continue to benefit from receiving ongoing rental assistance and the supportive services necessary to retain stable housing.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
No alternative actions were identified that would be consistent with the City’s goal to house the most vulnerable members of the community.

INTRODUCTION

On May 11, 2021 the Berkeley City Council passed Ordinance NO. 7,760-N.S., the Police Equipment and Community Safety Ordinance. Section 2.100.050 of the ordinance mandates an annual report for the deployment of specific equipment the Berkeley Police Department possesses. Below is a list and inventory of the reportable equipment under the city ordinance:

• Patrol Rifle (96)
Associated .223 duty and training rounds (93,128)
• Less Lethal single 40MM launcher (20)
• Less Lethal Milkor LTL 40 MM multi-launcher (2)
Associated 40mm rounds (637)
• Less Lethal FN 303 Launcher (8)
Associated FN rounds (5,813)
Associated FN Pava rounds (181)
• Oleoresin capsicum (handheld OC spray) (182)
• Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile and Oleoresin capsicum/ tear gas (300) • Remington 700 Precision Rifle (6)
Associated .308 rounds (2400)
• Light/sound distraction device (110)
• Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) (2)
• 36” batons (195)
• Barret Model 99 Precision Rifle (1)
Associated .50 rounds (50)

The annual report on the controlled equipment shall contain the following information per Ordinance NO. 7,760N.S.:

(a) Production descriptions for Controlled Equipment and inventory numbers of each product in the Police Department’s possession.

(b) A summary of how Controlled Equipment was used. For the purposes of annual reports, “use” of equipment shall refer to equipment that is

Page 5 of 36 ends

Page 215 ends

3 | P a g e

Deployed, not to transfers of location or placement of equipment inside Department vehicles.

(c) If applicable, a breakdown of where Controlled Equipment was used geographically by individual police areas. For each police area, the Police Department shall report the number of days or instances in which Controlled Equipment was used and what percentage of those daily reported uses were authorized by warrant and by non-warrant forms of court authorization.

(d) A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning Controlled Equipment.

(e) The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of Controlled Equipment Use Policies, and any actions taken in response.

There have been no additional internal audits beyond those conducted to gather and confirm data for this report. There were no identified violations of equipment use, or any complaints submitted to the department concerning the above-listed equipment.

Section 2.100.020 (D) defines deployment as “to utilize or employ Controlled Equipment for a deliberate purpose in the presence of members of the public during management or control of crowds, during any Special Response Team deployment or to affect some response from members of the public during any other operation or critical response. “Deployed” shall not mean an officer merely wearing a piece of Controlled Equipment on their belt or elsewhere on their person.” Deployment means the display of the equipment to affect some response from members of the public. The equipment does not have to be used (I.E. less lethal projectile actually launched and struck a suspect); simply having it and in view of a person to specifically affect a response would be considered a deployment. Deployments are to be reported per the ordinance and the table on page 5 of this report reflects both deployments and utilization of equipment.

The Blue Team system and Equipment Ordinance system are the two systems that capture all utilizations and deployments of equipment enabling the Police Department to fulfill the obligations set forth by the ordinance. The Blue Team

Page 6 of 36 ends

Page 216 ends

4 | P a g e

system documents all uses of force which includes patrol rifle deployments and utilization of less-lethal systems (I.E. less lethal projectile launched and struck a suspect). This system is maintained by the Internal Affairs Bureau. The Equipment Ordinance system captures deployments of all equipment outlined in the ordinance.

The Police Department responded to 63,691 calls from the community in 2023. Of the 63,691 calls received, 64 of them resulted in the deployment of military equipment. For details on these systems and other military equipment refer to page 19 or the Impact Statements located on the Berkeley Police Department website.

The table on page 5 details each of the 64 equipment deployment incidents extracted from the Blue Team and Equipment Ordinance systems. Each row within the table represents an incident where a specified equipment was deployed or utilized. The number of specified equipment deployed per incident is not represented. The table includes the service of 2 arrest warrants and 10 search warrants; 5 of which were served by the Special Response Team in cases involving a violent suspect. Equipment that is not outlined in the table was not deployed or used in 2023.

It should be noted that all military equipment deployments in 2023 were made during incidents where the Berkeley Police Department responded to a call for service made by community members or in the service of search warrants. There was one instance of a military equipment deployment made during a sex registrant compliance check on a violent offender with a history of firearm violations.

Additionally, 5,306 stops were conducted by the Berkeley Police Department in 2023. These 5,306 total stops break down to 3,665 vehicle stops, 1,554 pedestrian stops, and 87 bicycle stops. Five of the 5,306 stops resulted in the use (less lethal projectile launched towards a suspect) of the Penn Arms 40MM, also known as “less lethal.” These statistics illustrate the extremely rare percentage (0.00094%) of the time less lethal munitions are used in relation to overall contacts.

Page 7 of 36 ends

Page 217 ends

5 | P a g e

The table summarizing each incident on the next page (page 5) contains violence and details of crimes that can be unsettling to read. Reader discretion is advised.

There were 12 incidents where military equipment was used (less lethal projectile launched at a suspect, OC spray sprayed, patrol rifle used, or light and sound distraction device used). These incidents are highlighted in yellow.

It is important to note that information provided to police dispatchers by victims, witnesses, and community members guides police responses. Officers and supervisors make decisions on the deployment of equipment based, in part, on community members' observations and reports.

Each incident is listed in chronological order, and instances where the equipment was used are highlighted in yellow.

On this night, Officers contacted the subject who shined a flashlight at an officer’s eyes, blinding the officer on purpose. The suspect had a power drill and refused multiple requests and orders for him to put the power drill down. Patrol rifle and 40MM launcher were deployed. A trained negotiator took over communication with the subject and utilized de-escalation techniques. The subject placed the power drill down but lifted his jacket to reveal a 7" fixed- blade dagger on his belt. The subject was agitated, verbally aggressive, and cursed at officers. He was also incoherent and rambled about telepathy. The subject needed to be detained before the situation became any more dangerous. Officers launched 40MM rounds at the subject. Other officers grabbed the subject before he could go for the dagger. The subject was immediately provided medical attention. He was arrested for the warrants and for violating an elder abuse restraining order by being at that apartment. 14 2. Patrol rifle

Officers were familiar with the apartment where the gunshot came from because of previous domestic violence and child abuse investigations from that unit. Officers confirmed that a bullet was shot through the ceiling from the upstairs unit into the downstairs unit. Officers negotiated with the suspect to surrender, but he refused. Patrol rifle and 40MM launcher were deployed. Officers continued to negotiate with the suspect to surrender. After a 5-hour police standoff, the suspect surrendered. A search warrant at the house was served and evidence was recovered that included an assault rifle and many rifle rounds. The suspect was arrested for firearm violations, probation violation, child endangerment, narcotics, and a stay-away order violation.

A community member requested a Police officer conduct a welfare check on a subject who was banging his head against a van. When the officer arrived at the scene, a shirtless man ran up to the police vehicle with a large knife and stabbed at the police vehicle several times. The officer sped away to gain distance from the subject. After gaining distance from the subject, the officer exited his police vehicle and employed de-escalation techniques. The subject refused the drop the knife and pointed the knife at the officer on several occasions in a threatening manner. More officers arrived to assist. Patrol Rifle, 40MM launcher, and FN 303 launchers were deployed. Officers continued to speak to the subject and attempted to de-escalate, but the man rambled about the FBI ruining his life and was yelling at officers. This was an extremely dangerous situation as the man refused to drop the knife. Officers launched 40MM and FN303 rounds at the man causing him to drop the knife. Officers immediately detained the man and medical attention was provided. He was placed on a psychiatric evaluation hold. The criminal case was forwarded to the District Attorney's Office.

Below is a map showing where each of the above 55 equipment deployments occurred in Berkeley. 9 occurred in other Bay Area cities.

The following are product descriptions of the military equipment the Berkeley Police Department possesses:

Patrol Rifle:

The “M4” was developed and produced for the United States government by Colt Firearms and was based off of the original Armalite Rifle (AR) patent purchased by Colt in 1959. Although Colt owned the trademarked name of “M4”, a number of other manufacturers offer M4- like firearms under various model names. The M4 and its variants fire

5.56×45mm NATO (and .223 Remington) ammunition, and are a gas- operated, magazine-fed firearm with a barrel length ranging from 11.5” to 16”.

Page 22 of 36 ends

Page 232 ends

20 | P a g e

The current Berkeley Police Department (BPD) rifle ammunition used is the .223 Remington, a rimless, bottlenecked rifle cartridge. The round was developed in 1957 by Remington Arms and Fairchild Industries. The .223 Remington is considered one of the most popular cartridges and is currently used by a wide range of semi-automatic and manual-action rifles as well as handguns. While the military uses the similar 5.56x45 NATO cartridge, BPD uses the more common and often regarded civilian cartridge of .223 Remington for all training and duty uses.

Penn Arms 40MM Single Launcher & Milkor LTL Multi-Launcher The 40mm impact projectile was developed as an alternative to the 12- gauge bean bag round and other more indiscriminate less lethal options.

Early 12-gauge bean bag round designs had somewhat unpredictable flight patterns and could cause significant unwanted injury. The 40mm foam baton round was developed as a direct-fire projectile designed to minimize the risk of unintended injuries. Currently, the Berkeley Police Department utilizes the CTS 4557 foam baton projectile and the Penn Arms L-140 single- shot launcher.

FN 303
The FN 303 was developed in 2003 by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal as a less lethal option. The FN 303 is based on a concept developed by Monterey Bay Corporation. The development team consisted of designers and researchers from two paintball related companies. The FN 303 uses compressed air to propel a .68 caliber projectile similar to that of most manufactured paintball guns.

Oleoresin capsicum (OC spray)
First Defense manufactures different sizes of OC sprays. OC is the chemical agent that is most widely used amongst Law Enforcement (LE) and the general public. OC has a pungent and irritating pepper odor. It is classified as an inflammatory agent. Besides being effective on humans, OC-based chemical agents usually work on animals as well. In a liquid form, OC can appear as a clear, amber, or heavy dark red solution depending on the manufacturer. It is mixed with several types of solutions which act as carriers.

Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile (CS) & (OC)
Chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) is one of the most commonly used “tear gases” in the world. It can be liquid, gaseous, or solid substance intended to produce temporary discomfort through being vaporized or otherwise dispersed in the air. Law enforcement (LE) agencies have found this agent invaluable when faced with combative suspects, for crowd/riot control, and for alleviating barricaded subject situations. LE use it to help control individuals or groups without the need for a higher level of force.

There are four different deployment methods of chemical agents (Aerosol - most commonly used by police departments, Fogging, Pyrotechnics, and blast expulsion). All methods of deployment can be affected by certain environmental and physical conditions (wind, rain, temperature, distance, and proximity to others). At standard daily temperatures and pressures, CS forms a white crystal with a low vapor pressure and poor solubility in water.

OC is a chemical agent that has a pungent and irritating pepper odor. It is classified as an inflammatory agent. OC is mixed with several types of solutions which act as carriers.

Remington 700 Precision Rifle
The Remington 700 is a series of bolt-action rifles designed in 1962 by the Remington Arms Company. The “700” designator is the generic name for multiple models of rifles with various parts, barrel lengths, stocks, etc. The Remington 700 rifle has long been used by law enforcement agencies and continues to be an industry standard for issued equipment. The Berkeley Police Department utilizes a custom Remington 700 action, chambered in the common .308-caliber round, with a 20” barrel and an Accuracy International chassis/stock. The rifle also includes a Nightforce 3-15x magnified optic and bipod.

Light/Sound Diversionary Device
Light/Sound Diversionary devices also known as distraction devices, flashbang, light/sound and noise/flash devices have been available for approximately 40 years and are a safe and effective tool for Law Enforcement (LE) to use during challenging tactical incidents. When a

Page 24 of 36 ends

Page 234 ends

diversionary device is deployed it creates a loud noise, heat and brilliant light and creates an effective diversion.

Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD)
The Long-Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) is a high-intensity directional acoustical array for a long-range, crystal-clear notification system. The use of the LRAD is for communications. It is essentially a powerful loud speaker.

36” Baton
The Berkeley Police Department issues a knurled grip, polycarbonate, fixed- length straight baton for crowd control purposes. The baton is 36” long and

1.25” in diameter and weighs about 1.64 pounds. Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic, which means it is durable and resistant to splintering and heat.

Barrett Model 99 Precision Rifle
The Barrett Model 99 rifle is a single-shot bolt-action 50-caliber rifle first introduced in 1999. It is intended to be used in emergencies where there is a high potential for violence.

1 RECOMMENDATION

Date: Monday, February 26, 2024
To: Honorable Members of the Police Accountability Board (PAB) From: Hansel Aguilar, Director of Police Accountability (DPA) Keegan Horton, Investigator
Jose Murillo, Program Analyst
Michelle Verger, Policy Analyst

Subject: Berkeley Police Department’s Police Equipment and Community Safety Ordinance 2023 Annual Report
Background:

In May 2021, the Berkeley City Council approved the Police Equipment and Community Safety Ordinance (Ordinance No. 7,760 -N.S.), which requires the Berkeley Police Department to provide an annual report on the deployment of specific equipment.

The report is to be reviewed by the Police Accountability Board (PAB), which will assess compliance with the relevant approval standards set forth by BMC Section 2.100.040. If any equipment is found to be non -compliant with the standards set forth by BMC

2.100.040, the PAB “shall reco mmend revocation of the authorization for that piece of Controlled Equipment or modify the Controlled Equipment Use Policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance. Recommendations for revocations shall be forwarded to City Council in accordance with the approval process in Section 2.100.040.” The PAB shall make these determinations based on the content of the report.

BMC Section 2.100.050(A)(1)(a) – 2.100.050(A)(1)(e) provides minimum reporting requirements for the use of Controlled Equipment. Those reporting requirements are the following:

Page 30 of 36 ends

Page 240 ends

2 a. Production descriptions for Controlled Equipment and inventory numbers of each product in the Police Department’s possession.
b. A summary of how Controlled Equipment was used. For the purposes of annual reports , "use" of equipment shall refer to equipment that is Deployed, not to transfers of location or placement of equipment inside Department vehicles.
c. If applicable, a breakdown of where Controlled Equipment was used geographically by individual police area. F or each police area, the Police Department shall report the number of days or instances in which Controlled Equipment was used and what percentage of those daily reported uses were authorized by warrant and by non-warrant forms of court authorization. d. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning Controlled Equipment.
e. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of Controlled Equipment Use Policies, and any actions taken in response.

The PAB shall make recommendations b ased on compliance with the standards outlined in this ordinance.

The Office of the Director of Police Accountability (ODPA) received the Police Equipment and Community Safety Ordinance 2023 Annual Report (hereafter ‘2023 Report’) from Interim Chief Jennifer Louis on February 23, 2024.

Given the limited time before the next regular PAB meeting (February 28, 2024) the ODPA staff has conducted an initial review of the report to ensure compliance with the relevant sections of the Berkeley Municipal Code . This memorandum provides recommendations to assist the PAB in determining, based on the report, whether each piece of Controlled Equipment reported on has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Section 2.100.040.

Analysis:

Minimum Reporting Requirements:

In summary, the reporting requirements as articulated in BMC Section 2.100.050(A)(1)(a) –

2.100.050(A)(1)(e) appeared to be complied with in this annual report. Of special note, the ODPA highlights that the BPD has implemented the 2022 recommendation to include the percentage of equipment deployments as illustrated in the visualization on pg. 18 of the 2023 Report.

Page 31 of 36 ends

Page 241 ends

3 Enhancing Depth in Oversight: Beyond Preliminary Analysis Upon the ODPA review of the 2022 report, the DPA remarked that the ODP A and PAB only conducted a superficial review of the annual report since no additional exhibits (i.e. BPD incident reports, BWC footage, etc.) were considered. It appears by the language of the ordinance, that the legislative intent also contemplated a mor e qualitative review 1 of the incidents where the equipment was deployed and or used 2. To this end, the ODPA makes the below recommendations on potential avenues for conducting a review of the incidents in question:

Recommendations:
#1 The PAB should consider conducting a systematic review of the incidents referenced in the 2023 Report:

The PAB should consider adopting a methodology for the review of the incidents in the 2023 Report that considers:
• How to systematically review the compliance of the re ported equipment;
• Balancing the current workload of the PAB/ODPA,
• Ensuring a timely review that does not impede with BPD’s intended presentation of the report to the Council
Specifically, the ODPA recommends three potential methodological approaches:

1 Section 2.100.040 (C)(2) states: “ If the submitted Controlled Equipment Impact Report identifies a risk of potential adverse effects on the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, or civil liberties, the Police Accountability Board’s recommendation for approval for the funding, acquisition, or use of the Controlled Equipment shall not be deemed an acquiescence to those effects, but instead an acknowledgment of the risk of those effects and the need for the Police Department to take proactive steps to minimize those effects.”

2 For a distinction of this terminology see pg. 3 of the report: “Section 2.100.020 (D) defines deployment as “to utilize or employ Controlled Equipment for a deliberate purpose in the presen ce of members of the public during management or control of crowds, during any Special Response Team deployment or to affect some response from members of the public during any other operation or critical response. “Deployed” shall not mean an officer merely wearing a piece of Controlled Equipment on their belt or elsewhere on their person.” Deployment means the display of the equipment to affect some response from members of the public. The equipment does not have to be used (I.E. less lethal projectile ac tually launched and struck a suspect); simply having it and in view of a person to specifically affect a response would be considered a deployment. Deployments are to be reported per the ordinance and the table on page 5 of this report reflects both deployments and utilization of equipment.”

#2 The BPD should consider affixing, linking , and or attaching incident reports, BWC footage, and or any other relevant records related to the deployment and use of the incidents in a way that is consistent with federal, state, and local law.

Affixing, linking, or attaching these documents directly to the report not only facilitates a deeper, more accessible review process for all stakeholders but also ensures that the evaluation of police equipment use is comprehensive and grounded in real -world contexts. This approach should be carefully designed to align with federal, state, and local privacy and disclosure laws, safeguarding both the integrity of the review process and the privacy rights of individuals involved. Implementing this recommendation would significantly improve the quality of oversight and public trust in the BPD's operations, fostering a more informed and engaged community discourse around police practices and equipment use.

5 # 3 The BPD should consider utilizing the ArcGIS StoryMaps 3 feature to map out the incidents in the Transparency Hub
It is recommended that the BPD leverages the ArcGIS StoryMaps feature to dynamically map out incidents within their Transparency Hub. This innovative approach not only provides a visual and geographic context to the incidents involving police equipme nt deployment and use but also enhances public engagement and understanding. By utilizing StoryMaps, the BPD can offer an interactive platform that allows citizens to explore the data through maps, images, and narratives, making the information more accessible and comprehensible. This tool will not only aid in promoting transparency but also in building trust between the community and the police department by providing a clear, engaging, and informative overview of incidents in a geospatial context.

Re: Berkeley Police Department’s Police Equipment and Community Safety Ordinance 2023 Annual Report
Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
The Police Accountability Board (P
AB) held its regular meeting on April 17th, 2024,
during which they concluded their review of the Berkeley Police Department’s Police Equipment and Community Safety Ordinance 2023 Annual Report. The PAB unanimously voted1 to approve the report as it met the minimum reporting requirements.

However, the PAB would like to note that no additional exhibits were considered in their review of the various incidents summarized within the report that would allow for a more qualitative review (i.e. BPD Incident reports, Body-Worn Camera Footage, etc.). It appears by the language of the ordinance, that the legislative intent was to empower the PAB to conduct a more qualitative review
2 of the incidents where the equipment was deployed and or used 3 to 1 The Board currently consists of 7 out of 9 possible members. Board Member Calavita was absent for this meeting. The six (6) Board members present –Chair Moore, Vice Chair Wilson, Blackaby, Cayetano, Leftwich, and Mozes all voted to approve the report.
2 Section 2.100.040 (C)(2) states: “ If the submitted Controlled Equipment Impact Report identifies a risk of potential adverse effects on the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, or civil liberties, the Police Accountability Board’s recommendation for approval for the funding, acquisition, or use of the Controlled Equipment shall not be deemed an acquiescence to those effects, but instead an acknowledgment of the risk of those effects and the need for the Police Department to take proactive steps to minimize those effects.”
3 For a distinction of this terminology see pg. 3 of the report: “Section 2.100.020 (D) defines deployment as “to utilize or employ Controlled Equipment for a deliberate purpose in the presence of members of the public during management or control of crowds, during any Special Response Team deployment or to affect some response from members of the public during any other operation or critical response. “Deployed” shall not mean an officer merely wearing a piece of Controlled Equipment on their belt

To that end, the PAB is actively working on implementing a systematic review process to facilitate such assessments and further promote transparency. The Office of the Director of Police Accountability has presented the Board with a proposed methodology 4 for compliance review that is being considered by our body.

As part of the ongoing commitment to improvement, an additional suggestion for the BPD is to enhance their transparency efforts by exploring the incorporation of an interactive ArcGIS StoryMap focused on Controlled Equipment usage, akin to the approach used for documenting instances of Use of Force, allowing for greater community engagement and understanding. The PAB is more than willing to support the BPD in its efforts and is open to further discussion on this recommendation. The PAB thanks the BPD for considering this recommendation and for their efforts in incorporating the feedback provided by the PAB in last year’s report into the current report.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Terrance Davis, Director, Public Works
Subject: Active Transportation Program Cycle 7 Grant Funding Applications

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt four Resolutions authorizing the City Manager to submit grant applications to the Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) for the following projects: Southwest Berkeley Bike Boulevards for up to $4 million; Adeline Street Quick-Build for up to $1.05 million; accept the grants if awarded, and execute any resulting agreements and amendments. Two of these Resolutions are for applications to the Caltrans- administered ATP Statewide grant program, and two are applications to a regional sub- program, administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
If the City wins these grant awards, Caltrans will provide a total of up to $4,916,100 to the City’s State Transportation Grants Fund (Fund 344) for improvements to several major corridors and local streets. The ATP funding request for the Southwest Berkeley Bike Boulevards project is $3,875,100. The ATP funding request for the Adeline Street Quick-Build improvements is $1,041,000. The ATP requires that applicants provide at least 11.47% of the total funding amount in matching funds. Required matching funds in the amount of $563,900 are available starting in fiscal year 2029 from Measure BB Fund 134 (Bicycle and Pedestrian) and Fund 134 (Local Streets and Roads). The total estimated ATP funding request for both projects is $4,916,000.

ATP Cycle 7 Grant Funding Requests and Matching Funds
Southwest Berkeley Bike Boulevards $3,875,100
Adeline Street Quick-Build $1,041,000
Total ATP Grant Funding Request $4,916,100
City Matching Funds Available $563,900
TOTAL ATP Grant and City Match $5,480,000

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The safety countermeasures and traffic calming improvements in these projects were identified in the following Council approved plans: 2017 Berkeley Bike Plan, 2020 Berkeley Vision Zero Plan, 2020 Berkeley Pedestrian Plan, and the 2020 Adeline

Corridor Specific Plan. These projects will connect people to key destinations in Southwest Berkeley, including the Ashby BART station, Ed Roberts Campus, Malcolm X Elementary School and businesses in the Lorin District. Both projects will close gaps between existing and planned low-stress bike infrastructure in South and Southwest Berkeley. The Southwest Berkeley Bike Boulevards project will be submitted in the “Capital Projects” ATP grant category, and the Adeline Street Quick-Build project will be submitted in the “Quick-Build” grant category.

Southwest Berkeley Bike Boulevards
The Southwest Berkeley Bike Boulevards project will install bicycle boulevard treatments along the following routes:
 Mabel Street from Russell Street to 66th Avenue
 66th Avenue from Mabel Street to Idaho Street
 Idaho Street from 66th Street to Harmon Street
 Harmon Street from Idaho Street to King Street
 King Street from Prince Street to Alcatraz Avenue
 Prince Street from King Street to MLK Jr Way, and
 Alcatraz Avenue from Sacramento Street to Adeline Street.

Bicycle Boulevard treatments on Mabel Street, 66th Avenue, Idaho Street, Harmon Street and Prince Street will include traffic circles, new signage, roadway stencils, a hybrid-beacon crossing at Sacramento Street and additional traffic calming safety measures. Bike lanes will be added on Alcatraz Avenue from Adeline Street to King Street with additional traffic calming safety measures along the existing Bicycle Boulevard on King Street. Pedestrian safety will be improved throughout the project area by implementing ADA-compliant curb ramps, median refuges, hardened centerlines, curb extensions and raised and high visibility crosswalks where feasible.

Adeline Quick-Build Project
This project runs on Adeline Street from Ashby Avenue to the Berkeley city limit at approximately 61st Street. There are currently six lanes of traffic on Adeline Street (three lanes in each direction). This project would reduce the number of through lanes from six to four lanes (two in each direction) and accommodate construction of a one-way protected bike lane (“cycle track”) on each side of Adeline Street. This will make an important connection in the regional bike network, bridging the gap from where the Adeline Street cycle track ends at Ashby Avenue in Berkeley to where it resumes on Adeline at the Oakland border. It will also connect to the cycle track that the City of Oakland is planning for Martin Luther King Jr Way. The low cost of project materials will create a cost-effective means of constructing safe infrastructure while offering the Public Works design flexibility to respond to community input. If awarded, Public Works will coordinate with Oakland’s Department of Transportation to align our project delivery schedules and design as much as possible to provide a safe connection between jurisdictions. Transit operation impacts will be considered, and this project will include bus boarding islands at several stops along Adeline Street to minimize conflicts between bicyclists, buses and pedestrians.

BACKGROUND
The ATP is a State program managed by Caltrans, which consolidates previous federal and state transportation funding programs, including the Transportation Alternatives Program, Bicycle Transportation Account and State Safe Routes to School, into a single program with a focus to make California a national leader in active transportation. The current ATP Cycle 7 includes about $568M of available grant funding made up of Federal, State SB1 and State Highway Account (SHA) funding. The funding/programming years include the 25/26, 26/27, 27/28 and 28/29 fiscal years. The ATP accepts applications in three different categories: conventional capital projects; Safe Routes to School projects; and Quick Build projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The projects in these grant applications are designed to promote sustainable transportation and climate resilience by improving traffic safety for people walking and riding bicycles. This is consistent with the 2009 Climate Action Plan (Plan) Policy 5.A, which calls for expanding and improving the City’s bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

The Plan’s target is to reduce transportation emissions 80% below year 2000 levels by 2050. The Plan further states that transportation modes, such as public transit, walking and bicycling, must become the primary means of fulfilling the City’s mobility needs in order to meet these targets.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The ATP funding allows the City to address traffic safety issues along major transportation corridors and promote environmentally-friendly mobility. The need for the projects in these applications has been identified in the Council-approved 2017 Bicycle Plan (Resolution No. 67,945-N.S.), 2019 Vision Zero Action Plan (Resolution No. 69,324-N.S.) and 2020 Pedestrian Plan (Resolution No. 69,711–N.S). These documents were the result of robust public engagement processes involving members of the public, Transportation Commissioners and numerous stakeholders throughout Berkeley. Not applying would mean foregoing up to $4,916,000 in potential grant funding and leaving traffic safety issues on these streets unaddressed.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The City could choose not to apply for these funds. However, no alternative funding source has been identified to complete these key traffic safety and sustainability projects.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Terrance Davis, Director, Public Works
Subject: Authorize Purchase Order with National Auto Fleet Group for Twenty Ford Police Interceptor Utility (K8A) AWD Vehicles

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution satisfying the requirements of City Charter Article XI Section 67.2 allowing the City to participate in Sourcewell contract bid procedures and authorizing the City Manager to e
xecute a purchase order for twenty (20) Ford Police Interceptor Utility (K8A) AWD vehicles with the National Auto Fleet Group in an amount not to exceed $1,269,808.20.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The purchase of twenty (20) Ford Police Interceptor Utility (K8A) AWD vehicles will not exceed $1,269,808.20 and includes CA tire fees, delivery to City of Berkeley, and sales tax. Funding for the purchase of these vehicles is available in the FY 2024 Budget Fund for Equipment Replacement.

CUR

RENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
This purchase will replace twenty existing vehicles that have exceeded the end of their useful life. The rep
lacement vehicles are needed by the City’s Police Department Patrol Division in their work to provide public safety services in Berkeley. The twenty vehicles being replaced are primarily gas model sedans from 2014 or earlier. There have been multiple years of delay in the delivery of police vehicles from the manufacturer.

This purchase will support the City’s Strategic Plan Goal of creating a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared City.

BACKGROUND
City Charter XI Section 67.2 allows the City to purchase goods without undergoing a competitive bid process if the City utilizes pricing obtained by another entity through a competitive process.

Throughout t
he year, the Department of Public Works purchases vehicles and equipment for the City’s operating departments. These are paid for through the

Page 1 of 4 ends

Page 261 ends

Purchase Order: National Auto Fleet Group for Twenty CONSENT CALENDAR Ford Police Interceptor Utility (K8A) AWD June 4, 2024

Page 2 ends

Equipment Replacement Fund. If a purchase will exceed $25,000, the Department of Finance, General Services Division solicits bids or “piggybacks” off competitively bid contracts to ensure the City’s departments receive the best pricing.

The City of Berkeley is a no-cost member of Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA)), a municipal contracting agency operation under the legislative authority of Minnesota Statue 123A.21. Sourcewell allows participating municipal agencies to leverage the benefits of cooperative purchasing and reduces procurement costs. Sourcewell serves all educational, government, and non-profit agencies nationwide, and offers cooperatively contracted products, equipment, and service opportunities to government entities throughout the U.S.

All Sourcewell contracts have been competitively solicited nationwide. On July 28, 2021, Sourcewell released Request for Proposal No. 091521 for automobiles, sport utility vehicles, vans, and light trucks with related equipment and accessories. The solicitation was released for approximately fifty days and thirteen proposals were submitted and received. Upon review, the Sourcewell proposal evaluation committee selected 72 Hour, LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group as the best most responsive proposer to meet the specifications thusly awarding Contract No. 091521-NAF.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
Public Works Equipment Maintenance endeavors to procure the most fuel-efficient vehicles and equipment that are suitable for the required tasks. Equipment Maintenance also researches the feasibility and availability of fully electric vehicles and hybrid-electric powertrains to support the City’s transition away from fossil fuels towards an all-electric fleet, where technically feasible.

At present, the Police Department is working to replace all patrol vehicles that reach the end of their useful life with hybrid vehicles. All twenty vehicles will be powered by a 3.3L V6 Direct-Injection Hybrid System, which supports the Police Department’s goal of replacing its entire patrol fleet with hybrid vehicles.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Police patrol vehicles are overdue for replacement and with the long manufacturing time of over a year, they need to be purchased as soon as Equipment Maintenance has the opportunity. The order boards for Ford opened in March and the City has provided a letter of intent to National Auto Fleet Group. A purchase order is needed to secure the vehicles for the City. Ordering through a cooperative purchasing agreement ensures that the City is receiving the most competitive pricing.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None. Listed vehicles have reached the end of their useful life.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 4, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Terrance Davis, Director of Public Works
Subject: Contract: Edgeworth Integration, LLC for Installation of Security Cameras at Council-Approved Intersections; and Authorizi
ng Additional External Fixed
Video Surveillance Cameras

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Edgeworth Integration, LLC for purchase and installation of External Fixed Video Surveillance Cameras at fifteen council-approved locations, for an amount not to exceed $850,000.

2. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the installation of additional External Fixed Video Surveillance Cameras under this contract scope should they be approved by City Council, included in the Surveillance Policy and funding appropriated.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Estimated one-time costs to purchase and install cameras are estimated between $44,000 to $55,000 per intersect
ion. Total costs would vary based on the number of
intersections selected. Specifically, total one-time costs for the fifteen previously selected intersections already selected by Council would cost approximately $750,000.

Funding in the amount of $600,000 is available in the FY 2024 baseline Public Works budget General Fund 011. (budget code: 011-54-624-694-0000-000-412-612990).

Additional funds will be appropriated through the FY 2025 budget process.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
On October 12, 2021, council approved a budget referral for the installation of External Fixed Video Surveillance Cameras, prominent signage, and increased lighting in public
right-of-way intersections experiencing a rise in violent crime. The referral approved installation of security cameras at the following intersections:
 University & 6th
 Ashby & 7th
 Ashby & Claremont

Page 2 ends

 Ashby & College
 Ashby & Sacramento
 Ashby & San Pablo
 Dwight & San Pablo
 Dwight & 7th
 University & San Pablo
 King & 62nd
Public Works executed contract No. 32400010 on July 18, 2023 for the purchase and installation of a surveillance camera at the University & 6th intersection. Approval of these Resolutions will allow for the purchase and installation of approved cameras at all other Council-approved locations. Cameras for this project will be compatible with those already in use at San Pablo Park under Contract Nos. 31900080 and 31900205 along with those deployed at University and 6th under Contract No. 32400010. Edgeworth Integration, LLC was the contractor for these projects. Public Works estimates that remaining cameras will be purchased and installed by June 30, 2024 if the Resolutions are approved. Beyond the initial purchase and installation, City of Berkeley’s Public Works Department will be in charge of maintenance for the installed cameras.

On January 30th, 2024, Council approved of a budget referral for the installation of additional External Fixed Video Surveillance Cameras at the following intersections:
 Alcatraz & Adeline
 Alcatraz & College
 Alcatraz & Sacramento
 San Pablo & Gilman
 Woolsey & Telegraph
 Woolsey & Shattuck
Council at this January 30th meeting also approved these additional locations to be considered for potential future installations:
 Telegraph and Dwight
 5th Street and Gilman
 4th Street and Hearst
 Cedar St. and East shore Hwy

Page 2 of 6 ends

Page 266 ends

Contract: Edgeworth Integration, LLC for Installation of Security Cameras CONSENT CALENDAR at Council-Approved Intersections June 4, 2024

Page 3 ends

in FY 2025 if the previously requested funding is provided. This contract will allow Public Works to install additional cameras quickly if any of those sites are approved by Council.

Security camera footage would be used solely for the purpose of solving criminal investigations. The cameras are not intended and would not be used for continuous surveillance purposes nor will contain License Plate Reader technology or software.

This supports the Strategic Plan Goal of creating a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared City

BACKGROUND
A 2011 report1 from The Urban Institute’s Justice Policy Center noted that cameras can be an effective tool for preventing crimes and supporting investigations. These tools appear fiscally prudent both as tools for investigations, and with the installation and maintenance of security cameras being less costly than the costs associated with crimes that may take place without them. Moreover, an experiment conducted at the University of Twente in the Netherlands finds evidence that the presence of security cameras can encourage “prosocial” and “helping behavior” among bystanders.2 Berkeley’s Police Department has been conducting Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessments for neighborhoods throughout the City over the past several years. These assessments include recommendations such as:
increased lighting, maintenance of properties, landscaping and signage that can be used to deter criminal behavior.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identified environmental or climate impacts associated with the subject of this report.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
These Resolutions will allow Public Works to start installation at the fourteen Council- approved intersections.
