RESOLUTION ADOPTING A CITYWIDE RECORDS MANAGEMENT AND
INFORMATION PROGRAM POLICY AND RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE Recommended Action: 1) Adopt a resolution approving a Citywide Records and Information Management Program and Records Retention Schedule.
Director of Government and Community Relations/City Clerk Jimenez provided a report regarding the proposed Citywide Records Management and Information Program Policy and Records Retention Schedule. Department staff representatives participated in the Records and Information Management (RIM) program kickoff in 2023. Staff worked directly with Record Control Services, Inc., to complete Phase 1 of the Program, which is the creation of a RIM Policy by the City Clerk's Office, and program evaluations and retention schedule updates by each department. Moreover, Director Jimenez discussed the eight sections of the RIM Program; and, that the City Council is the body responsible for reviewing and approving the RIM Program, Records Retention Schedule, and any substantive amendments. Director Jimenez noted that proposed amendments to the RIM Program or the Records Retention Schedule will be presented to the City Council for review and approval on an annual basis. The next two phases of the Project include the creation of a RIM reference guide for staff that will include policies and the City Council-adopted Records Retention Schedule. Phase 2 will be comprised of the implementation of the Public Records Request software and staff training, while Phase 3 will be a Records Management Program Needs Assessment. In connection with the adoption of a Citywide Records Management and Information Program and Records Retention Schedule, Council Member Castañeda requested to review the City's Email Retention Policy. Director Jimenez explained that the City's Email Retention Schedule is governed by City Council Policy No. 27 which denotes City emails are retained for a 60-day period. Furthermore, staff recommended that the City Council approve the Citywide Records and Information Management Program and Records Retention Schedule.
Council Member Castañeda asked about potentially combining Phase 3 with Phase 2 to assess department's staffing capacity prior to implementation and training. Council Member Castañeda also suggested for the needs assessment to be conducted concurrently with the launch of the software, and the City's email retention to be extended to at least one year.
Director Jimenez explained Phase 2 will not take as long of a time as Phase 1. The City is also already in the process of onboarding the new public records request software. Therefore, staff training is set to begin soon, and Phase 3 will occur shortly thereafter.
City Attorney Cardinale explained the types of emails retained, day-to-day emails and project- related emails. The City Email Retention Policy does not necessarily apply to every email received. If the email relates to pending or active City business, then such email is retained for two years.
Mayor Sonne and Vice Mayor Ahn spoke in support of keeping the 60-day email retention.
Council Member Traut asked about potential concerns in extending the email retention to longer than 60 days.
Mayor Sonne asked about a specific folder that could be used retain emails.
Director Jimenez discussed that the program policy states that all project-related emails and correspondences must be maintained in the project file folder because emails get automatically deleted after 60 days. Emails could, however, be stored in one's desktop or a folder outside of Outlook and that would not be affected or be automatically deleted after 60 days. She also confirmed that there is no issue with storage or server space as it pertains to email retention.

9B. DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING STREET VENDOR
ENFORCEMENT IN THE CITY OF BUENA PARK
Director of Community and Economic Development Foulkes provided a report regarding street vendor enforcement in the City of Buena Park. Director Foulkes discussed an overview of applicable local and state laws, particularly Senate Bill 946 (SB 946) Safe Sidewalk Vending Act; highlighted the impacts of illegal street vending on the city and patrons; summarized the City's current enforcement efforts; and, reviewed measures taken by other Orange County and surrounding cities. Director Foulkes provided options for future street vendor enforcement for City Council consideration. For example, to alleviate staff time and overtime costs associated with these evening and weekend enforcement actions, the City of Fontana contracted with the consultant firm 4Lead to assist with code enforcement efforts during nights and weekends for up to six months. Fontana officials allocated approximately $600,000 for these contract services.
Additionally, the City Council may consider amendments to the BPMC, similar to the approach taken by the City of Anaheim. Anaheim Code Enforcement was given authority to confiscate equipment and food without the need for OCHCA participation. Lastly, the City Council could consider an expanded outreach and education campaign to accompany enforcement actions.
Vendors and the public will be educated about the legal requirements to obtain a Street Vending Permit with the goal of transitioning illegal vendors into legal ones.
Mayor Sonne asked about the number of times the City has been prohibited by the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) from performing street vendor enforcement unaccompanied by their staff.

Council Member Ahn stated her main concerns are public safety and food safety, and requested for the City Council to come up with solutions to enforce confiscation of items associated with illegal, non-permitted sales on City streets.
Council Member Traut spoke in support of street vending, and about the importance to establish rules that keep the public safe and enforce those rules at all hours. Council Member Traut also spoke in support of allowing code enforcement to perform outreach and enforcement, with outreach being the initial goal, as well as increasing staff hours to fulfill the needs.
Council Member Castañeda recommended to keep the City's current sidewalk vending regulations as is, and to not increase staff time for additional enforcement.
Council Member Brown suggested the City Council to allow Code Enforcement staff to confiscate illegal food and vending carts, and authorize staff overtime to address illegal street vendors in the evening.
Code Enforcement Supervisor Camacho explained the City's current outreach efforts pertaining to street vending. Supervisor Camacho also noted that OCHCA handles enforcement and confiscation actions.
City Attorney Cardinale discussed that the County Health Officer has the legislative authority to seize equipment. Code Enforcement, on the other hand, only has the authority to advise street vendors about their violations, but not confiscate without the presence of the OCHCA. The option presented for City Council consideration is an impoundment program similar to that of surrounding cities.
Mayor Sonne calendared a discussion regarding a street vending permit program wherein staff would assist vendors to obtain and secure a street vending permit.

Director of Community and Economic Development Foulkes provided a report regarding amendments to the Buena Park Municipal Code (BPMC) pertaining to urban homesteading.
Urban homesteading is an increasingly popular and sustainable practice that allows community members to cultivate land, typically backyards (single-family) or common open space (multi- family), for personal use, community building, and food production, with the goal to reduce carbon footprint associated with transportation and contribute to local food resilience. Currently, the BPMC only allows horticultural production, the keeping of small animals, beekeeping, and other agricultural activities on properties located within the Agricultural (A) Overlay zone. Fifteen parcels are within this overlay zone, all located on Haldor Place. Director Foulkes also discussed other Orange County cities' regulations on urban homesteading. There are, however, potential negative impacts of urban homesteading some of which are noise and smell nuisances, vector/pest issues, and neighbor relations. Nevertheless, Director Foulkes provided potential ordinance elements that could be used in amending the BPMC to expand the areas where urban homesteading activities are permitted. It was noted that subject to the incorporation of appropriate standards and guidelines to minimize negative effects to adjacent properties, urban homesteading activities aligns with the City's values on environmental sustainability, community building, and the well-being of its residents.

Director Foulkes explained surrounding cities' restrictions on animal keeping. The City Council could provide direction to restrict a reasonable number of animals that could be kept on a property.
Council Member Castañeda recommended that the City Council move forward with amending the Buena Park Municipal Code pertaining to urban homesteading with the help of experts anc consultants. Additionally, Council Member Castañeda recommended to reduce the requirec setback to five feet.
Minutes February 27, 2024 Vol. 54 Pg. 39
Mayor Sonne spoke about her goal to lower food insecurity in the community and to become a more sustainable community. Mayor Sonne also noted the need for ongoing inspection of urban homesteading practices to prevent the spread of plant and animal diseases, and toxic wastes going into the drainage system. Finally, Mayor Sonne expressed her interest in moving forward with amending the Buena Park Municipal Code regarding urban homesteading with the emphasis on ensuring animals are healthy and not of nuisance to neighbors, and to look into beekeeping ordinances.
Council Members directed staff to conduct further study on the need to be permitted to practice urban homesteading activities, and recommended to do public outreach prior to proceeding with the amendment of the Buena Park Municipal Code regarding urban homesteading.
Bob Shackley, Buena Park resident, spoke regarding proper beekeeping.
City Manager France indicated that a survey will be distributed to the community to collect input from residents regarding urban homesteading in the City.
