Report Number: 23-0181
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Animal Services
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution accepting and appropriating a grant award from Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) in the amount of $25,000 to be used towards the cost and installation of a security camera system at the Animal Care Facility (CIP Project GGV0266). (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
Animal Services has received a matching grant of $25,000 from the Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) Property Program, which will be used towards the cost of purchase and installation of a wired and wireless video surveillance camera system. Adoption of this action accepts and appropriates the grant award.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) because the proposed project would not result in a significant effect on the environment, create a cumulative impact, damage a scenic highway, or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
Thus, no further environmental review is required.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
The PRISM matching grant will be used toward the cost and installation of a security camera system that will be configured and installed in and around the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility (CVACF), a department of the City of Chula Vista. The vendor shall also provide training on the use of the system to CVACF and Information Technology Services department personnel. The camera system sought under this effort will provide the CVACF with security for early identification of threats, damage to property, or theft of property while providing a recorded documentation of the areas under surveillance. The desired result will have quality recorded product that can be used in a court of law to prosecute violators.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the resolution will result in an appropriation of both revenue and expenditures in the amount of $25,000 in the Other Grants Fund and an increase to CIP project GGV0266. These changes result in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund and the Other Grants Fund. The estimated cost of this project is $104,920 (including contingencies). GGV0266 Security Cameras at Civic Center currently has an available balance of $79,920. These funds will serve as the match to the PRISM grant.
