Date of Meeting: March 10, 2025
Department: Finance
To: City Council
From: Ethan Aukee
Subject: Budget Adjustment Proposal
Prepared On: March 4, 2025
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City budgeted $25,000 for costs associated with the creation of a City brand/logo for marketing and other purposes. This was originally budgeted within a capital expense account, but after further review, City staff have determined that these costs should be fully expensed when incurred, rather than capitalized and depreciated over time. There's nuance as to whether this type of expense is typically expensed or capitalized, and based on an improved understanding of the project, the cost should be expensed.
Analysis/Discussion:
The proposed budget adjustment is not increasing or decreasing total spending. Both affected accounts are within the Planning Department and the City's General Fund.
Economic Impacts:
None.
Budget Impacts:
Decrease in capital expense account 001-034-56028 in the amount of $25,000.
Increase in operating expense account 001-034-52015 in the amount of $25,000.
Legal Review:
Not required.
Recommended Action:
City Council to approve the proposed budget adjustment.

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
On 02-10-2025, the Police Department presented a community safety project comprised of Flock condor live view cameras and Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs). The project was previously approved during strategic planning in the amount not to exceed $187,500.00.
This contract provides devices for a 60 month term, with an option after 60 months to continue for an additional 24 months. This item was placed on New Business for an open discussion to address concerns from the public. Council directed staff to return on 02-24-25, to present the contract and Department policy.
Analysis/Discussion:
Cameras and ALPRs are used to identify suspects and aid in investigations to reduce staff time and protect the community. There are concerns however with privacy. These concerns were addressed on 02-10-25, and we have follow up with Flock safety to insure the community is protected from both criminal activity as well as personal privacy.
Economic Impacts:
This item was previously budgeted for FY24/25.
Budget Impacts:
This item was previously budgeted for FY24/25.

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs)
429.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance for the capture, storage and use of digital data obtained through the use of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology. 429.2 POLICY
The policy of the Bishop Police Department is to utilize ALPR technology to capture and store digital license plate data and images while recognizing the established privacy rights of the public.
All data and images gathered by the ALPR are for the official use of this department. Because such data may contain confidential information, it is not open to public review. 429.3 ADMINISTRATION
The ALPR technology, also known as License Plate Recognition (LPR), allows for the automated detection of license plates. It is used by the Bishop Police Department to convert data associated with vehicle license plates for official law enforcement purposes, including identifying stolen or wanted vehicles, stolen license plates and missing persons. It may also be used to gather information related to active warrants, homeland security, electronic surveillance, suspect interdiction and stolen property recovery.
All installation and maintenance of ALPR equipment, as well as ALPR data retention and access, shall be managed by the Administration Operation Commander. The Administration Operation Commander will assign members under his/her command to administer the day-to-day operation of the ALPR equipment and data.
429.3.1 ALPR ADMINISTRATOR
The Administration Operation Commander shall be responsible for developing guidelines and procedures to comply with the requirements of Civil Code § 1798.90.5 et seq. This includes, but is not limited to (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53):
(a) A description of the job title or other designation of the members and independent contractors who are authorized to use or access the ALPR system or to collect ALPR information.
(b) Training requirements for authorized users.
(c) A description of how the ALPR system will be monitored to ensure the security of the information and compliance with applicable privacy laws. (d) Procedures for system operators to maintain records of access in compliance with Civil Code § 1798.90.52.

(g) Ensuring this policy and related procedures are conspicuously posted on the department’s website.
429.4 OPERATIONS
Use of an ALPR is restricted to the purposes outlined below. Department members shall not use, or allow others to use the equipment or database records for any unauthorized purpose (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53).
(a) An ALPR shall only be used for official law enforcement business. (b) An ALPR may be used in conjunction with any routine patrol operation or criminal investigation. Reasonable suspicion or probable cause is not required before using an ALPR.
(c) While an ALPR may be used to canvass license plates around any crime scene, particular consideration should be given to using ALPR-equipped cars to canvass areas around homicides, shootings and other major incidents. Partial license plates reported during major crimes should be entered into the ALPR system in an attempt to identify suspect vehicles.
(d) No member of this department shall operate ALPR equipment or access ALPR data without first completing department-approved training.
(e) No ALPR operator may access department, state or federal data unless otherwise authorized to do so.
(f) If practicable, the officer should verify an ALPR response through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) before taking enforcement action that is based solely on an ALPR alert.
429.5 DATA COLLECTION AND RETENTION
The Patrol Operation Commander is responsible for ensuring systems and processes are in place for the proper collection and retention of ALPR data. Data will be transferred from vehicles to the designated storage in accordance with department procedures.
All ALPR data downloaded to the server should be stored for a minimum of one year and in accordance with the established records retention schedule. Thereafter, ALPR data should be purged unless it has become, or it is reasonable to believe it will become, evidence in a criminal or civil action or is subject to a discovery request or other lawful action to produce records. In those circumstances the applicable data should be downloaded from the server onto portable media and booked into evidence.
429.6 ACCOUNTABILITY
All data will be closely safeguarded and protected by both procedural and technological means.
The Bishop Police Department will observe the following safeguards regarding access to and use of stored data (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53):

such Proprietary Information. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public; or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (d) was independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party.
Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Proprietary Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to contest such order. At the termination of this Agreement, all Proprietary Information will be returned to the Disclosing Party, destroyed or erased (if recorded on an erasable storage medium), together with any copies thereof, when no longer needed for the purposes above, or upon request from the Disclosing Party, and in any case upon termination of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any termination, all confidentiality obligations of Proprietary Information that is trade secret shall continue in perpetuity or until such information is no longer trade secret.

Docusign Envelope ID: B05E2655-F313-4188-BBA4-DBCA015380F8 67 9
5.3 Disclosure of Footage. Subject to and during the Retention Period, Flock may access, use, preserve and/or disclose the Footage to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or third parties, if legally required to do so or if Flock has a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a legal process, enforce this Agreement, or detect, prevent or otherwise address security, privacy, fraud or technical issues, or emergency situations.
6. PAYMENT OF FEES
6.1 Billing and Payment of Fees. Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form based on the billing structure and payment terms as indicated in the Order Form. To the extent the Order Form is silent, Customer shall pay all invoices net thirty (30) days from the date of receipt. If Customer believes that Flock has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Flock no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first invoice in which the error or problem appeared to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this period will serve as a waiver of any claim. If any undisputed fee is more than thirty (30) days overdue, Flock may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend delivery of its service until such undisputed invoice is paid in full. Flock shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer of the payment delinquency before exercising any suspension right.
6.2 Notice of Changes to Fees. In the event of any changes to fees, Flock shall provide Customer with sixty (60) days notice (email sufficient) prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable). Any such changes to fees shall only impact subsequent Renewal Terms.
6.3 Taxes. To the extent Customer is not a tax exempt entity, Customer is responsible for all taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based on Flock’s net income, imposed by taxing authorities associated with the order. If Flock has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes, including amount subsequently assessed by a taxing authority, for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoice to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Flock a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate and Flock shall not charge Customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Flock and shall pay Flock any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net Docusign Envelope ID: B05E2655-F313-4188-BBA4-DBCA015380F8 68 10
amount that Flock receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Flock would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
7.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for the period of time set forth on the Order Form (the “Term”). Unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form, the Term shall commence upon first installation of Flock Hardware, as applicable. Following the Term, unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of the greater of one year or the length set forth on the Order Form (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either Party gives the other Party notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
7.2 Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Flock will remove any applicable Flock Hardware at a commercially reasonable time period. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the breaching Party; provided, however, that this Agreement will not terminate if the breaching Party has cured the breach prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (“Cure Period”). Either Party may terminate this Agreement (i) upon the institution by or against the other Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, (ii) upon the other Party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) upon the other Party's dissolution or ceasing to do business. In the event of a material breach by Flock, and Flock is unable to cure within the Cure Period, Flock will refund Customer a pro-rata portion of the pre-paid fees for Services not received due to such termination.
7.3 Survival. The following Sections will survive termination: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.3, 8.4, 9, 10.1 and
11.6. 8. REMEDY FOR DEFECT; WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
8.1 Manufacturer Defect. Upon a malfunction or failure of Flock Hardware or Embedded Software (a “Defect”), Customer must notify Flock’s technical support team. In the event of a Defect, Flock shall make a commercially reasonable attempt to repair or replace the defective Flock Hardware at no additional cost to the Customer. Flock reserves the right, in its sole Docusign Envelope ID: B05E2655-F313-4188-BBA4-DBCA015380F8 69 11
discretion, to repair or replace such Defect, provided that Flock shall conduct inspection or testing within a commercially reasonable time, but no longer than seven (7) business days after Customer gives notice to Flock.
8.2 Replacements. In the event that Flock Hardware is lost, stolen, or damaged, Customer may request a replacement of Flock Hardware at a fee according to the reinstall fee schedule (https://www.flocksafety.com/reinstall-fee-schedule). In the event that Customer chooses not to replace lost, damaged, or stolen Flock Hardware, Customer understands and agrees that Flock is not liable for any resulting impact to Flock Service, nor shall Customer receive a refund for the lost, damaged, or stolen Flock Hardware.
8.3 Warranty. Flock shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall perform the Installation Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Flock or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Flock’s reasonable control, but Flock shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption.
8.4 Disclaimer. THE REMEDY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 8.1 ABOVE IS CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY, AND FLOCK’S SOLE LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTS.
FLOCK IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR ISSUES ARISING FROM THIRDPARTY DISTRIBUTIONS REQUESTED BY CUSTOMER. AFOREMENTIONED DISTRIBUTION IS AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK. FLOCK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES IT MAKE

Cameras need sufficient power. Since a solar panel is required per camera, it can prevent adequate solar power if two cameras and two solar panels are on a single pole (blocking visibility). Therefore if relying on solar power, only one camera can be installed per pole.
Flock does not provide Electrical services. Once installed, the agency or community must work with an electrician to wire the cameras. Electrician services should be completed within two days of installation to prevent the camera from dying.

FAQs about AC-Powered Flock Cameras
What voltage is supported?
The AC kit is designed to work with 120VAC Infrastructure by default. A 240VAC version is available on request.
How much power does this consume
Peak current draw is 1.5 A at 120VAC. The average power draw is roughly 30W in high traffic conditions but maybe lower when fewer vehicles are present.
Who is responsible for contracting the electrician?
The customer is responsible for contracting an electrician. We can help answer questions, but the customer is responsible for identifying and contracting an electrician.
Who is responsible for maintenance?
Flock will handle all maintenance related to Flock’s camera and power equipment.
However, any problems with the electrical supply are the customer’s responsibility.
The AC junction box has two lights to indicate the presence of power and make it easy for quick diagnosis if there is a problem related to the AC power source If the camera indicates to Flock that there is a power supply problem, Flock will notify the customer and request that the customer verifies the lights on the AC junction box. If the AC Source light is illuminated, Flock will send a technician to investigate. If the AC source light is not illuminated, the customer should check any GFCI’s or breakers in the supply circuit or call the electrician who installed the power supply.
How much does it cost?
Work required to bring AC power to each location will be different, so exact pricing is unavailable. Primary cost drivers include arrow boards and the distance from the camera location to the AC power source.
What information do I need to provide my electrician?
The Flock deployment plan and these work instructions should be sufficient to secure a quote. It will be helpful if you know the location of the existing power infrastructure before creating the deployment plan.
?
Docusign Envelope ID: B05E2655-F313-4188-BBA4-DBCA015380F8 96 17
Can you plug it into my existing power outlet? The Flock AC power adapter does not use a standard outlet plug but must be directly wired into the power mains.
While using outlet plugs may be convenient, they can easily be unplugged, presenting a tampering risk to this critical safety infrastructure.
The electrician can route power directly to the camera with a direct wire-in connection if an outlet is close to the camera.
How long does this process typically take?
The installation process typically takes 6-8 weeks. To accelerate the process, be sure to have the electrician perform his work shortly after the Flock technician finishes installing the camera.
What kind of electrician should I look for?
Any licensed electrician should perform this work, though we have found that those who advertise working with landscape lighting are most suited for this work.
What happens if the electrician damages the equipment?
The customer is responsible for contracting the electrician. Any liability associated with this work would be assumed by the customer. If any future work is required at this site due to the electrical infrastructure or the work performed by the electrician would be the responsibility of the customer.
When should the electrician perform his work?
Once Flock installs the camera, you will receive an email alert letting you know that this has been completed. After this, you will need to schedule the electrician to route power to the pole.
What if my electrician has questions about Flock’s AC Kit?
You should share the packet with the electrician if they have questions.
What if the AC power is on a timer?
Sometimes the AC power will be on a timer (like used for exterior lighting). Flock requires that the AC power provided to the camera be constant. The source that the electrician uses must not be on a timing circuit.

If Customer believes that Flock has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Flock no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first invoice in which the error or problem appeared to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this period will serve as a waiver of any claim. If any undisputed fee is more than thirty (30) days overdue, Flock may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend delivery of its service until such undisputed invoice is paid in full. Flock shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer of the payment delinquency before exercising any suspension right.
6.2 Notice of Changes to Fees. In the event of any changes to fees, Flock shall provide Customer with sixty (60) days’ notice (email sufficient) prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable). Any such changes to fees shall only impact subsequent Renewal Terms.
6.3 Taxes. To the extent Customer is not a tax exempt entity, Customer is responsible for all taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based on Flock’s net income, imposed by taxing authorities associated with the order. If Flock has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes, including amount subsequently assessed by a taxing authority, for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoice to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Flock a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate and Flock shall not charge Customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Flock and shall pay Flock any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Flock receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Flock would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. 111
7. TERM AND TERMINATION

General Plan 2024 Annual Progress Report
A Year in Review
Each year, the City of Bishop is required to prepare an annual progress report to the City Council, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) (sec. 65400(b)) providing a summary of the City’s progress towards implementing the General Plan in accordance with adopted goals, policies, and action items.
Over the past year, the City of Bishop has continued efforts towards the implementation of long-term community visions and goals, including implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan and Mixed-Use Overlay and Economic Development Elements goals, park improvements, kicking off the Land Use and Parking Study to identify land for housing development, and coordination with non-profit housing partners on applications for affordable housing funding, homelessness prevention, and safe emergency shelters.
The following report summarizes actions and projects completed during 2023 towards the implementation of the City of Bishop General Plan.
Background
The City of Bishop is the only incorporated city in Inyo County. Bishop has a geographic area of approximately two square miles and a current population of 3,879 (US Census).
Bishop’s City Council, Planning Commission, and Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee hold regular meetings encouraging implementation of the General Plan and its various elements (the Water and Sewer Commission was disbanded in 2020).
The City of Bishop is required by State law to have a legally adequate General Plan (Government Code sec. 65300 et seq), which primarily addresses the physical development of the City. As part of its General Plan, the City must include the following seven elements: 1) Land Use, 2) Circulation, 3) Housing, 4) Conservation, 5) Open Space, 6) Noise, 7) Safety (sec. 65301(c)). The City’s General Plan also includes three optional elements: Economic Development, Public Services/Facilities, and Parks/Recreation.
Analysis
The City has a current 2021-2029 Housing Element. The City’s Mobility Element Update was completed early in 2012, and the Land Use Element and Municipal Code are scheduled for review and updating over the next few years (depending on funding 138
availability). The City will also be working on a comprehensive General Plan update to meet legislative requirements as staffing and funding allow.
The following discussion summarizes the status and the implementation progress of individual Elements during the calendar year 2023.
Land Use Element
The Land Use Element establishes the framework to direct the physical development of the City and to form the organization of the City’s environment. The Land Use Element establishes the function and form of the City because it is a composite statement of the goal, strategies, and actions of the other elements of the General Plan. It serves as the primary vehicle for ensuring the logical organization of residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities and services. The Land Use Element also provides the public decision-makers and residents with a guide in understanding the long-range intentions in the City. The Land Use Element designates the location and extent of land categories such as housing, business, industry, public facilities, and open space. It includes the City’s land use goals and policies, and a land use map designating land accordingly. The progress toward implementation of the Land Use Element includes the continued processing of development applications throughout the community.
During the 2024 calendar year, the City:
• Adopted the Resolution authorizing the Planning Department to submit a Prohousing Designation Program application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the application was reviewed by HCD and is currently waiting for the final vote approval. • Approved the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Bishop and the Friends of the Eastern Sierra Community Gardens for the administration of the California Urban Greening Grant aimed at enhancing infrastructure at the Bishop Community Garden.
• The City continues to partner with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to identify additional properties that could potentially be made available for purchase, consistent with goals to provide diverse and attractive housing stock.
• Permitted new housing units through “encouraging infill and redevelopment of existing private land.”
• Implemented signage enforcement and facilitated Downtown Beautification to remove non-compliant signage based on the recently adopted Bishop Municipal Code Chapter 85 Entitled “Signage.”
Economic Development
139
The purpose of the Economic Development Element is to identify the most impactful goals leveraging the strengths of Bishop to allow the existing business to flourish, attract and encourage investment in Bishop, and support a vibrant, sustainable economy. The vision of the Economic Development Element is: “To be a regional economic and commercial hub with a multitude of services for both residents and visitors. Bishop strives to be a diverse, well-rounded, welcoming, sustainable, vibrant community that collaboratively promotes its unique Eastern Sierra location and provides year-round business and outdoor recreation opportunities.” The five guiding goals of the Economic Development Element encompass generally: downtown revitalization, regional promotion of the Eastern Sierra, investment in existing and new businesses – including expansion and adoption of broadband capabilities, strengthening Bishop’s educational, healthcare, and retail sectors, and securing reliable, regional air service at the Bishop Airport.
During the 2024 calendar year, the City:
• Approved Strategic Plan for the Eastern Sierra Region, prepared by the Eastern Sierra Council of Governments (ESCOG).
• Updated the City-Wide Strategic Plan for 2024-2028.
• The Small Business Development Center was opened in downtown Bishop.
Mobility
The Mobility Element of the General Plan sets out the desired goals and strategies for enhancing mobility in and near the City. It is closely coordinated with the Land Use, Housing, Noise, and Public Facilities Elements of the General Plan in recognition of the interrelationships between them. The Mobility Element includes all travel modes, addressing mobility in the context of driving, cycling, walking, and accessibility to transit and air services. Along with the other elements of the General Plan, it focuses on the economic stability and vitality of the City, while providing for safe and efficient means of travel within the City and adjacent areas. The Mobility Element sets out the desired goals and strategies for enhancing mobility in and near the City. The improvement of existing facilities and the construction of new facilities can further the purpose of the Mobility Element.
During the 2024 calendar year, the City:
• Conducted 5 community meetings and designed the City-wide Active Transportation Plan (ATP), applied for cycle 7 ATP and have not received funding. • Collaborated with Caltrans on their Bishop Pavements Project to improve the sidewalk landscaping and furniture on Main Street throughout the downtown core. • Continued the final design for South Warren Street, Lagoon Street, and South Street improvements.
140
• Approved the concept design, completed environmental documents, and initiated design documentation for the East Line Bridge Project, which proposes replacing the existing 18.5-foot span, 30-foot-wide structure with a new bridge featuring a 30-foot span and 60-foot width on East Line Street at the Bishop Creek Canal.
Housing
The City’s growth is constrained on all four sides: on the north, east, and south by properties owned by other public entities; and on the west by the Bishop Paiute Indian Reservation. Bishop has approximately four hundred acres of undeveloped land of varying zoning designations. However, the City is constrained in planning for their future use because these lands are owned by LADWP for the provision of water to the City of Los Angeles and are not available for development. Existing available residential vacant land within the City limits is minimal – in fact, there are only approximately 2.72 acres of private, residentially zone land in the City of Bishop.
In 2018, the City negotiated an agreement with the LADWP for the release of approximately three acres of land for affordable housing development. The property was transferred to a non-profit limited partnership in 2020 for the construction of approximately 70 affordable housing units. The City of Bishop is working with the nonprofit developer to secure necessary grant and loan funding through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Grant to begin construction. Eastern Sierra. • Collected parking data (January, April, July) for the City of Bishop Parking Demand and Land Use Study to identify sites to be released under the Surplus Land Act for affordable housing development.
• Rezoned a parcel to Mixed Use Downtown Overlay Zone to allow for higher residential density of 30-35 units.
• The City has been working with Eastern Sierra Community Housing (ESCH) on the rehabilitation of Valley Apartments, a 19-unit complex for extremely lowincome seniors, funded through state programs. The project includes interior upgrades and essential improvements to enhance livability. • The City is supporting Silver Peaks Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Cycle 6 application for affordable housing and active transportation improvements in the City of Bishop.
• Initiated Housing Needs Assessment Study and Housing Action Plan in partnership with Inyo County, Mono County, Mammoth Lakes, and Eastern Sierra Council of Governments.
• Table B (attached) provides a detailed summary of Bishop’s progress in meeting regional housing needs for the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning period. The information in the table shows the number of residential units that have been built.

ONGOING:
The City of Bishop facilitated the transfer of a three-acre property from the City of Los Angeles to Visionary Homebuilders for the proposed 72-unit Silver Peaks low-income housing development. Despite multiple funding attempts through the HCD Multifamily Housing Program, the project remains stalled without HCD assistance. This is the only non-Los Angeles-owned development opportunity in Bishop, emphasizing the need for HCD to prioritize funding in Bishop and the Eastern Sierra.
The City has initiated discussions with Los Angeles for the divestiture of two adjacent residential parcels. However, LADWP's property release process is lengthy and independent of Bishop, and with Silver Peaks still vacant due to funding challenges, LADWP is not releasing additional sites. The City is supporting the developer in applying for AHSC funding to pursue 74 residential units at Silver Peaks.
Veterans Housing Identifying a suitable site and funding for theVeterans Housing project.
