City Council approval is required to complete the City’s funding application.

BACKGROUND
The 2021 State of California Comeback Plan under AB 140 provided for $600 million in state general funds for the implementation of the REAP 2.0 Program. REAP 2.0 is a flexible program that proposes to accelerate progress towards meeting state housing goals and climate commitments through a strengthened partnership between the state, its regions, and local entities.
12 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Fresno COG was a recipient of $13 milli on in REAP 2.0 Program Funds to further the goals of the program by awarding funds to all FCOG partner agencies and their eligible subconsultants/partners. Eligible activities will increase housing supply at all affordability levels, affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH), and facilitate the implementation of adopted regional and local plans to achieve these goals. FCOG published a Request for Proposals on October 1, 2023. The deadline for submittal of funding applications was December 15, 2023.

City staff proposes to partner with Innovative Development and Living Solutions of California (IDLS), the owner of Magnolia Crossing, for the REAP 2.0 eligible funding application referred to as Cottages at Magnolia Crossing. This low-income senior living project will provide 7 cottage type homes to be developed at the southern portion of the property located at Sierra Avenue just west of the HWY 168 overcrossing (see Attachment 2 – proposed Site Plan).

The REAP 2.0 application was submitted on December 15, 2023, as was required, and is contingent on City Council approval of this request and approval of the attached Resolution. The application requested $1 million in REAP 2.0 Program funds. If the City Council does not approve this application for funds, the City’ s conditional funding application will be withdrawn, and the program funds will not be obtained for this proposed project.

If REAP 2.0 funds are granted to the Cottages at Magnolia Crossing, staff will return to Council for review and approval of any development agreement(s) needed.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the 2023 -2024 Clovis City Budget. If awarded funds, the City will propose an amendment to the appropriate Budget in the amount of the REAP 2.0 award.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Cottages at Magnolia Crossing is a viable and important development for the increase of affordable housing units using REAP 2.0 Program funds.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
If awarded funds, the City will propose an amendment to the appropriate Budget in the amount of the REAP 2.0 award, and request Council approval of any required Development Agreements.

Project Need
The Fresno Police Department (FPD), Clovis Police Department (CPD), Fresno County Probation Department (FCPD), and Fresno County District Attorney's Office (FCDA) will join forces to address Organized Retail Theft (ORT) by establishing the Fresno Metropolitan Area Organized Retail Task Force (ORT Purpose Problem Area). This task force will combat and aggressively prosecute ORT offenders. It will aid retailers in protecting their assets against ORT through enhanced enforcement, police collaboration, information sharing, training and education, and the implementation of advanced technology.

The task force will also focus on combating vehicle and vehicle accessory thefts.

In recent years, violent crime has emerged as the foremost concern for the FPD. The City of Fresno witnessed a distressing increase in shootings, setting a record for shootings of 732 and 74 murders (a 25-year high) in 2020. The following year, in 2021, there were 688 shootings, and another 74 murders. Police management prioritized violent crime, reallocating resources to address this pressing issue.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CCD74F5-2D00-4E95-9AF7-A3BFE6D3185F 67 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.

District detectives received instructions to concentrate on investigating violent crime within specific violent areas.

While this
shift in focus was necessary to address the surge in violent crime, it had an adverse effect on theft investigations as many cases were not proactively investigated. The Career Criminal Auto Theft Team (CCATT) was redirected to tackle gun-related crimes. While this approach helped reduce violent crime, it also diminished the priority given to auto theft crimes. As a result, detectives assigned to ORT and the CCAT unit now face overwhelming caseloads and inadequate staffing, which reduces their capacity to effectively combat these crimes.

ORT’s have had a profound impact in our area, affecting large retail stores and small locally owned retail spaces. ORT criminals have instilled fear and frustration within the community. These thefts cause significant damage to the local economy and contribute to other crimes including robberies, assaults, and incidents of gun violence. Many ORT criminals are affiliated with gangs that employ coordinated tactics to mask their identities and swiftly carry out their crimes, sometimes using firearms. Apprehending these offenders has resulted in the recovery of stolen merchandise and the seizure of firearms, narcotics, and stolen vehicles. Disturbingly, offenders frequently exploit minors to commit these crimes, taking advantage of the lenient consequences they may face. The severity and breadth of these crimes highlight the urgent need for comprehensive measures to combat ORT and protect the community. The impact of ORT on employees has become a significant issue for retailers.

Employees face frequent threats of violence, creating a hostile and dangerous working environment.

Offenders are aware of store
policies that prevent employees from intervening during in-progress thefts, and commonly threaten employees with termination or lawsuits if the employee takes any action against the ORT criminal.

According to a 2022 survey conducted by the Loss Prevention Council, a staggering 81% of respondents stated that they did not report thefts, due to the belief that the police will not respond, investigate, or make arrests in such cases. Locally, a loss prevention manager at Kashian River Park Properties, estimates that around 90% of retail thefts at their property go unreported. This highlights the urgent need for comprehensive solutions to combat ORT, protect employees, and create an environment where reporting such incidents is encouraged and results in meaningful action. Despite under reporting, between 2018 and 2022, retailers reported 395 instances of thefts turning into violent robberies to FPD, including a 43 percent increase in commercial retail robberies from 2021 to 2022.

Between 2018 and 2022, retailers reported 482 instances of thefts qualifying as ORT. Astonishingly, the FPD observed a staggering 752% increase in ORT between 2020 and 2022.

According to the Loss
Prevention Research Council, California ranked in the 80th percentile for shrinkage losses based on data reported by national retailers in 2022. Notably, most zip codes in the Fresno metro area also fell within the 80th percentile when compared to zip codes nationwide. In California’s Central Valley, which stretches from Sacramento to Bakersfield, Fresno had the highest concentration of zip codes categorized as having "high shrinkage" according to the American DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CCD74F5-2D00-4E95-9AF7-A3BFE6D3185F68 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.

Retail Crime and Shrink & Security Initiative.

In the past five years, the residents have reported a staggering 13,900 vehicle thefts to the FPD. This equates to an average of 2,780 thefts per year or approximately 8 vehicle thefts per day within the city. During the same five-year period, residents reported 4,136 catalytic converter thefts, averaging 827 thefts per year or approximately 2 reported thefts per day.

Notably, between the years
2020 and 2022, the department saw an alarming 927% increase in catalytic converter thefts, underscoring the growing prevalence of this crime. FPD will also prioritize the Auto Theft Purpose Problem Area. CCATT has been successful in combating crime since its establishment in 2011. The team's efforts have contributed to a reduction in auto theft incidents within the city through proactive, innovative, and aggressive measures. Due to an increase in violent crime, CCATT's focus shifted to gun and violent crime offenders; auto theft investigations became a secondary priority.

To address
this issue, FPD will establish a second CCATT team, providing immediate investigation of auto thefts seven days a week. The addition of this second team will enable effective investigations into catalytic converter theft.

Though auto and accessory thefts are often
perceived as mere property crimes, the reality is that these crimes have serious consequences. The loss of a vehicle or its catalytic converter hinders citizens from carrying out simple daily tasks, such as transporting children to school, commuting to work, or attending medical appointments. To exacerbate matters, many citizens lack the financial means to cover insurance deductibles or the substantial costs of replacing a catalytic converter. Fresno citizens and retailers are impacted by ORT and auto thefts daily. Retailers are losing millions of dollars each year, and these crimes hurt our residents with inflated prices and personal losses. FPD intends to collaborate with law enforcement and retail partners to combat ORT, auto theft, and catalytic converter theft.

Project Description
The Fresno Metro area stands to gain significant benefits from the establishment of an organized retail theft task force. Our four law enforcement partners will collaborate effectively to address this issue and safeguard the local economy.

Situated centrally in California, the
Fresno Metro area is conveniently accessible via two major north- south freeways, Interstate 5 and Freeway 99. This geographic positioning makes the area vulnerable to offenders from larger metropolitan regions like the Bay Area and Southern California.

Consequently, the Fresno Metro area becomes a prime target for individuals involved in organized theft rings operating throughout the state. With 3 full-size malls and 6 major shopping centers featuring commercial anchor stores, the City of Fresno and the nearby City of Clovis cater to a surrounding population of over 1 million residents.

FPD recognizes the need to establish a coordinated response to ORT and auto/catalytic converter theft incidents, as the current lack of coordination hinders investigations. The ORT Task Force will develop a comprehensive and coordinated approach including the sharing of information and intelligence, including "hot lists" and “be on the DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CCD74F5-2D00-4E95-9AF7-A3BFE6D3185F 69 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
lookout” (BOLOs), to ensure that law enforcement and retail partners have access to the most up-to-date offender and crime pattern information.

Through the sharing of intelligence, the ORT Task Force will develop effective strategies for apprehending and prosecuting individuals involved in ORT and vehicle theft. By enhancing intelligence, collaboration, and coordination, we will strengthen investigations and drive down ORT and vehicle/catalytic converter thefts. FPD offers retail merchants the opportunity to engage in a highly successful merchant shoplift training program designed for retail store personnel. This program equips them to make quality citizen arrests, complete their own police reports, and directly submit cases to the FCDA’s for prosecution.

Retail loss prevention
personnel will expedite citizen arrests, allowing them to swiftly return to their security duties and prevent additional thefts. The program also keeps law enforcement officers available for higher priority calls.

By expanding the program to additional merchants in Fresno and Clovis, we increase engagement, effectiveness, and satisfaction of our retailers.

Our collective agencies share a common vision and recognize the crucial role of the retail industry in the California economy and workforce. Retailers, whether they are national brands or local businesses, play a vital role in driving innovation and contributing to a thriving economy. They contribute significantly to California's robust economy, which ranks as the fifth largest in the world. By prioritizing the fight against organized retail theft through the establishment of a task force, the Cities of Fresno and Clovis demonstrate their commitment to protecting retailers and supporting a strong and prosperous economy. Through collaboration and concerted efforts, our ORT Task Force will create an environment where businesses can thrive, consumers can enjoy affordable prices, and the economy can flourish. FPD will be adding three investigators to each policing district to focus on ORT at all levels. Investigators will be responsible for handling all ORT crimes, conducting follow-up investigations, and submitting cases to the District Attorney's office for prosecution. They will also expand the Merchant Retail Theft program.

Secondly, the ORT task force will target repeat offenders. By focusing on repeat offenders, we disrupt criminal operations and prevent associated crimes. The task force's concerted efforts will act as a deterrent, dismantling organized theft and auto theft networks, reducing violent crime, and curbing illegal firearms and drugs in the community. Through its targeted approach, the ORT task force will significantly contribute to maintaining public safety, safeguarding the well-being of the community, and fostering a secure environment for all residents. By effectively tackling the root causes of criminal behavior, the task force will create a safer and more prosperous Fresno Metropolitan Area.

An example of an effective implementation of an organized retail theft task force is the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Organized Retail Crime Task Force. Established in 2019, this task force has demonstrated remarkable achievements in addressing ORT. Through their efforts, the CHP Task Force worked 1,469 investigations, making 853 arrests. They have recovered $28 million in stolen DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CCD74F5-2D00-4E95-9AF7-A3BFE6D3185F 70 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
merchandise. In February 2023, California AG Rob Bonta announced the arrest of eight people involved in a statewide ORT that targeted Apple retail stores. The thefts occurred between August 2022 and January 2023 resulting in approximately $1 million dollars in losses.

Third, ORT Task Force will expand and enhance current resources available to businesses affected by retail theft. This includes educating businesses about prevention measures, sharing best intelligence, and offering the Merchant Shoplift Training program.

Such measures help businesses mitigate losses, expedite citizen arrests, keep law enforcement officers on higher-priority calls, and create a safer environment for employees and customers.

Finally, the ORT Task Force will improve coordination and information sharing among law enforcement agencies, businesses, and community members. This collaborative approach enhances the effectiveness of prevention strategies, facilitates early detection of retail theft incidents, and improves the apprehension of criminals.

The Organized Retail Theft PPA will have three components that make it an effective crime prevention and enforcement tool for the larger metro area.

1. Education
a. The Merchant Shoplift Program will educate participating merchants on the laws regarding theft and citizen arrests. The program will expedite arrest processing and will return loss prevention personnel to sales floor faster. It will also keep law enforcement officers available for higher-priority calls. b. Law enforcement partners will be trained in the use of trackers, License Plate Readers,, and intelligence sharing to prevent thefts, make arrests, and prosecute offenders.

2. Deterrence
a. With the use of technology retailers and law enforcement can help educate the public that offenders will be arrested and prosecuted.

Technology such as placing LPRs in retail centers to identify repeat offenders and direct video connectivity will be used to deter future crimes.

3. Enforcement
a. Investigation: ORT Task Force and retailers will work together to obtain proper evidence to identify individuals involved in retail theft.

FPD will assign 15 additional detectives to focus solely on the investigation of retail theft.
b. Apprehension: ORT Task Force and loss prevention officers will work together to arrest individuals involved in retail theft. c. Technology: ORT Task Force will use tracking devices, computer software, LPRs, and video surveillance systems to develop strong cases against retail theft criminals.
d. Prosecution: ORT Task Force will work with The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office to successfully prosecute retail theft offenders, including combined out-of-county cases.
e. County Probation: Fresno County Probation Department will provide enhanced supervision of chronic ORT offenders.

To address the issue of auto theft, FPD intends to establish a second CCAT team, which will dedicate its efforts to auto theft investigations DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CCD74F5-2D00-4E95-9AF7-A3BFE6D3185F71 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
seven days a week. The addition of this second team will also enable effective investigations into catalytic converter theft.

1. Investigation/Surveillance: FPD will add a team of nine detectives and one detective sergeant to CCATT. CCATT proactively focuses on offenders involved in motor vehicle and accessory thefts, “chop shops”, and illegal sales of stolen parts.

2. Technologies: GPS trackers, drones, computer software, and surveillance equipment will be used to arrest and prosecute offenders, with a focus on re-offenders.

3. Prosecution: CCATT personnel will collaborate with the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office to successfully prosecute those involved in auto and accessory theft.

4. Probation:

The Fresno County Probation Department will provide
pre-trial GPS monitoring for pending auto and accessory cases as well as enhanced supervision.

In addition to sworn personnel, the department intends to employ two additional Police Support Services Technicians in the Records department.

These two positions will focus on processing
investigative reports related to ORT and auto theft investigations. By adding these support services technicians, the department ensures that investigative reports and related to ORT and auto theft cases are processed efficiently. The FPD’s Real Time Information Center (RTIC) will serve as the ORT hub. New hardware and software technology integrated into the RTIC can assist in the identification, location, and apprehension of ORT suspect(s). The RTIC mission is to utilize intelligence-led policing to provide real-time information sharing, quick identification, and apprehension of criminals, increasing public safety.

1. RTIC will compile and analyze data to identify suspects, crime patterns, and create “hot lists”, to share with other allied agencies and retail partners.

2. Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR): will be strategically placed around retail centers to alert RTIC personnel when suspect offenders enter a target zone. This information will be shared with law enforcement and retail partners.

3. Video Connectivity (FUSUS): FUSUS software will allow for direct video feed with a retail partner when a crime is in progress.

4. Video Connectivity Analytics (Brief Cam): This will allow RTIC personnel and investigators to condense hours of footage and search for specific video footage quickly.

PPA’s Retail Theft and PPA Motor Vehicle/Accessory Theft will have three goals and objectives.

1. The team will reduce retail theft 15% each year.

2. The team will increase participation in the Merchant Shoplift Program by 25%

3. The team will decrease auto theft 15%.

The team will actively engage in a public awareness campaign to DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CCD74F5-2D00-4E95-9AF7-A3BFE6D3185F 72 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
inform the public about the impact of organized retail theft (ORT) and vehicle thefts. Through this campaign, the team aims to educate the community about the detrimental consequences of these crimes and promote vigilance among residents. By raising awareness and encouraging the public to be proactive, the team seeks to deter potential offenders and foster community support in combating ORT and vehicle thefts.

The ORT Task Force adheres to all state and federal laws when utilizing its current surveillance and monitoring equipment. All investigative techniques will be evaluated for their necessity by the project lead. The ORT Task Force strictly prohibits the use of race as the sole purpose for any police contact. The department has a rigorous policy in place that prohibits bias-based policing, and it conducts thorough investigations into any alleged incidents related to such practices.

Project
Organizational
Capacity and
Coordination
FPD will act as the Fiscal Agent and has a proven 100% successful compliance rate on grant funding obligations. The Grants Management Unit (GMU) will be responsible for oversight of all department grant-related activities and understand fiduciary responsibilities associated with grant funds. GMU has participated in several audits over the years to demonstrate transparency and accountability for those funds. GMU will conduct annual, in-person site monitoring visits for all the funded partners to ensure compliance with the program objectives and grant guidelines. If awarded, at the end of the grant period we would implement our plan to sustain the programs with general fund contributions with the approval of the City Manager, City Council and the Mayor.

The project will be overseen by FPD Police Lieutenant Israel Reyes, who will have direct oversight over sub-grantees and lead the community and services elements in the project. He has 23 years of experience, including patrol, investigations, internal affairs, and most recently as a patrol field commander.

He will assume responsibility
for evaluation, monitoring, tracking statistical information, and fulfilling reporting requirements. Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) will be drafted by the respective governing bodies within three months of award notification. Once the MOUs are finalized, they will be ready for implementation within six months of the grant award.

Lt. Reyes and the assigned allied agency project leads will review the implementation of the project, track its progress, and assess its overall success. Quarterly meetings will be held to discuss project- related matters and address any challenges or adjustments that may arise during the project. CPD will establish a dedicated retail theft team focused on promptly responding to crimes in progress. This team will also investigate and gather intelligence on groups that specifically target retail outlets. Additionally, the plan will deploy enhanced video surveillance and intelligence systems to strengthen the monitoring and prevention of criminal activities. By adopting these strategies, the CPD will contribute to the FPD's efforts in combating ORT and auto theft. Management Analyst (MA) Sandi Macy will be the project lead for the CPD.

She has 18 years of experience
managing and overseeing grant operations for the City of Clovis and the CPD.

She has coordinated all aspects of the CPD’s grant
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CCD74F5-2D00-4E95-9AF7-A3BFE6D3185F 73 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
activities, managing financial reporting and performance measures.

As a certified government fiscal officer MA Macy has worked with various law enforcement agencies.

FCPD will be conducting
probation contacts targeting individuals specifically convicted of felony ORC and vehicle thefts. The FCPD will implement pre-trial monitoring of individuals involved in ORT and vehicle thefts. By closely monitoring these offenders before their trials, the FCPD aims to mitigate the risk of further criminal activities and protect the community from potential harm.

FCPD is committed to supporting
the FPD in combating ORT and auto theft. Deputy Chief (DC) Probation Officer, Lori Willits will be the project lead for the FCPD.

She has over 26 years of experience in the department. Her assignments are varied and include working a Deputy Probation Officer in both the Adult and Juvenile divisions. As assistant DC she managed the Crime Victim Assistance Center, the AB 109 felony supervision unit, and the Quality Control/Program Evaluation Unit. As DC she has had oversight of the juvenile institution operations at the Juvenile Justice Campus for nearly 5 years and in September 2023 will be transitioning to the Adult Realignment Division. FCDA office plans to assign three senior investigators dedicated to prosecuting these ORT offenders. FCDA will enhance the regional Cyber and Forensic lab, utilizing it to examine digital evidence gathered during ORT and auto theft crimes to support aggressive prosecution. Chief Investigator Pat McPherson will serve as the project lead for FCDA.

He has over 37 years of law enforcement experience. Throughout his career, Chief McPherson has undertaken and overseen assignments encompassing Major Crimes/Homicide, Organized Crime Intelligence, Gangs, Public Corruption, Narcotics, Special Operations, and Violent Sexual Predators. He has actively participated in various Task Force Operations, demonstrating his abilities as an effective leader.

Project Evaluation
and Monitoring
Upon notice of an award, the City of Fresno will contract with an evaluation team consisting of California State University Fresno (CSUF) Criminology Professors and graduate student assistants.

In a
process evaluation, both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies will be employed as part of a data triangulation strategy, while quantitative data analysis with statistical models will be emphasized in outcome evaluations to assess the impact of each program component.

The methodology of the process evaluation of
each program will be designed to ensure the program is implemented according to its original plan and serves the needs of the community and target populations.

To monitor the progress of program
implementations while easing the burden of administrative data collection, web-based surveys with automatic e-mail reminders to program managers will be utilized.

This system supports both
efficient data collection in a standardized format and timely descriptive analysis of program characteristics in the process evaluation.

Furthermore, qualitative research methods of field
observations and interviews of participants and program managers will become a means to uncover unexpected barriers and obstacles to program implementation; adjustments in program management will be recommended through quarterly reports and meetings. The methodology of the outcome evaluation that determines each project component's success and failure includes statistical models and innovative research designs that thoroughly and properly evaluate the impact of each program component. While the gold standard of program evaluation dictates the use of randomized experiments to conclusively infer the causal effect of intervention programs, randomized experiments are not immune from challenge, most notably an ethical issue of denying the opportunity to participate in programs for the sake of scientific studies. To overcome this limitation but maintain a high scientific standard of program evaluation, CSUF will employ a propensity score matching technique that allows the analysis of the treatment group and control group with comparable characteristics without running a randomized experiment. This allows rigorous examination of the program outcomes without compromising ethical resource principles. The propensity score analysis is an innovative but proven evaluation methodology, which was applied to evaluations of gang interventions including G.R.E.A.T. and Operation Ceasefire in Boston. When conducting propensity score analysis, CSUF will take advantage of existing program surveys/intakes previously conducted re-analyze and compare with the participants of the proposed program. The results of both process and outcome evaluations will be thoroughly documented in quarterly and Final Local Evaluation Reports. Detailed descriptions of programs will be provided as part of the process evaluation which allows critical assessment and replication of the approach in different settings.

RE: The Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program

This letter is being submitted to document that the Fresno County Probation Department agrees to partner on the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program proposal being submitted by the Fresno Police Department.

As a part of this grant, Fresno County Probation is aware of the proposed project, is committed to ensuring its success and agrees to participate in collaborating with the Lead Public Agency, the Fresno Police Department. Probation’s role will include working with the lead agency in proactive activities, strategies and programs in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft.

The Fresno County Probation Department is uniquely positioned to identify individuals already under its jurisdiction for probation supervision who are involved in these specific illegal activities, along with future persons placed on supervision, involved in organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft or cargo . Proactive activities include teaming up with the Fresno Police Department officers to jointly conduct Probation contacts, surveillance, and searches. Probation will utilize e vidence-based practices that include conducting risk assessments , case plans to determine appropriate treatment and program referrals, for these individuals. Probation will also collect and provide data to the Fresno Police Department through its automated data technology system, to help meet grant requirements.

Probation will collaborate with the Fresno Police Department in its public awareness campaigns in preventing and responding to organized retail theft, motor vehicle or motor vehicle accessory theft, or cargo theft through in-person, media and/or social media platforms.

The Fresno County Probation Department looks forward to a continued partnership with the Fresno Police Department in its important role as a law enforcement agency and helping to prevent and bring justice to victims of crime related to the proposed project.

Sincerely,

Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer

(b) When multiple officers conduct a stop, the officer with the highest level of engagement with the person detained shall collect the data elements and prepare the report. (c) A SDCS entry shall be completed when a passenger in a vehicle stopped becomes detained independent of the traffic stop. Enforcement operations, including DUI checkpoints, which stop vehicles at regular intervals are exempt from this requirement, unless the officer develops individualized suspicion regarding an occupant in the vehicle, i.e., driver appears to be under the influence of alcohol/drugs, passenger is wanted. An officer shall complete all stop reports for stops made during their shift by the end of that shift, unless exigent circumstances preclude doing so. In such circumstances, the data shall be completed as soon as practicable. In the event a stop report is to be completed during an encounter resulting in an Officer Involved Shooting or In-Custody death, the homicide unit supervisor, or their designee, shall complete the stop data report for the involved officer. 402.5 TRAINING (a) Sworn members will attend POST approved training on the subject of racial profiling.

RECOMMENDATION
For Council to approve a resolution amending the City’s FY 2023-2024 Position Allocation Plan by adding five (5) Police Officer /Recruit positions and adding (1) Public Safety Dispatcher position within the Police Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Currently, the Police Department is authorized for seventy -eight (78) Police Officer/Recruit positions and eighteen (18) Public Safety Dispatcher positions for FY 2023-2024. The Police Department was recently awarded the Board of State and Community Correc tions Grant (BSCC). The grant award was over $6,000,000 to assist with decreasing theft throughout the City. It is recommended that the City’s Position Allocation Plan be amended to add five (5) Police Officer/Recruit positions and add one (1) Public Safety Dispatcher position within the Police Department to aid with reducing theft.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The addition of five (5) Police Officer/Recruit positions and the addition of one (1) Public Safety Dispatcher position will provide needed additional support to combat theft in the City. The change must be reflected in the authorized FY 2023 -2024 Police Department position all ocation.

Modification of the Position Allocation Plan requires Council Approval.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The position allocation for the P olice Department will be modified as noted in Attachment A of Attachment 1.

2. Res. 24-____ Position Allocation Plan

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).

RECOMMENDATION
For City Council to approve a resolution authorizing amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plans by revising the Housing Program Manager Classification with a Salary Range of $9,381 to $11,403 per month and approve a resolution amending the City’s FY 23-24 Position Allocation Plan by deleting one (1) Housing Supervisor position and adding one (1) Housing Program Manager position in the Administration Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The incumbent Management Analyst has been assigned significant additional duties and responsibilities that extend beyond the current classification's scope. Consequently, reclassifying the position to Housing Program Manager is deemed appropriate. During the budget process, the Administration Department converted the Management Analyst role to a Housing Supervisor classification. Presently, the Administration Department is authorized for one (1) Housing Supervisor position. It is recommended that the City's Position Allocation Plan be amended to include one (1) Housing Program Manager position and eliminate one (1) Housing Supervisor position in the Administration Department. Council approval is required for changes to the Classification, Compensation and Position Allocation Plans.

BACKGROUND
Personnel have recently evaluated the responsibilities and work performed by the Management Analyst in the Administration Department as part of a classification review. The nature and scope of duties currently performed by the Management Analyst incumbent are at a depth and bread th greater than the current classification encompasses. This reflects evolutions within the Department associated with City growth, the incumbent ’s expanded skill set, and the level of work necessary to effectively coordinate projects and programs.

The inc umbent is now performing duties more in line with an existing Housing Program Manager classification that includes overseeing the grant management of the City ’s affordable housing programs. The Housing Program Manager classification needs revision since th e last update was in 2009. The recommended salary range would be $9,381 to $11,403.

The incumbent receives administrative direction from executive staff and performs a wide variety of activities in the administration of housing and community development pr ograms and projects, including those funded by federal, state, and local financing, such as Community Development Block Grant and HCD funds, for the improvement of neighborhoods and the affirmation of furthering fair housing.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impac t of salary and benefits for the remainder of FY 23-24 is approximately an additional $2,800. There are adequate funds in the Administration Department budget to cover the costs of this position for this fiscal year.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The additi on o f one (1) Housing Program Manager position and the elimination of one (1) Housing Supervisor position reflects the level of responsibility of staff in the Administration Department. The re-classification and additional compensation require Council approval.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The pos ition allocation for the Administration Dep artment will be modified as noted in Attachment 2. The position vacancy will be filled thr ough the reclassification of the Management Analyst.

SUBJECT: General Services – Approval – Res. 24 -___, Amending the City’s FY 2023-2024 Position Allocation Plan by adding one (1) Fire Inspector II position within the Fire Department.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 24-___, Position Allocation Plan

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).

RECOMMENDATION
For Council to approve a resolution amending the City’s FY 2023-2024 Position Allocation Plan by adding one (1) Fire Inspector II position within the Fire Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Currently, the Fire Department is not authorized for a Fire Inspector II p osition for fiscal year 2023-2024. It is recommended that the City’s Position Allocation Plan be amended by adding one (1) Fire Inspector II position within the Fire Department to perform the complex inspection duties and provide additional support to the Fire Prevention Division. This is an overfill position to hire and train someone in order to replace our current Fire and Life Safety Specialist, who will be retiring in Spring of 2026. Council approval is required for changes to the Position Allocation Plan.

BACKGROUND
Within the Fire Department's Community Risk Reduction Bureau, the Prevention Division plays a crucial role in supporting our commercial stakeholders. This support encompasses new construction analysis, tenant improvement reviews, ensuri ng emergency services access, evaluating fire protection system design and installation, and conducting recurring business inspections. The current staffing of the bureau consists of three (3) personnel, and a comprehensive assessment has been conducted to align work assignments with community needs and long-term goals, ensuring optimal service delivery to our constituents. In anticipation 122
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
of the retirement of two existing staff members within the next three years, the bureau has recognized the need for str ategic planning to address today's demands, future community growth, and the essential time required for personnel training. To meet these challenges, it has been determined that adding one (1) Fire Inspector II position will not only efficiently support the current demands of the Fire Prevention Division but will also facilitate succession planning within the division to replace our Life and Safety Specialist. Our current Life and Fire Safety Specialist Rick Fultz will be retiring in Spring of 2026, and w e do not have anyone in the department qualified to replace him. It has been determined that it will take a minimum of two years to effectively train a new person with the right qualifications to become our next Life and Fire Safety Specialist. Adding th is position now will allow for the recruitment and have someone in the position by March or April of 2024, giving us the two years necessary to provide the required training. This is a key position for the fire chief , who depends o n the Life and Fire Safety Specialist’s expertise with the enforcement of the fire code, and working with our Planning and Development Services Department and the development community to ensure our City is safe.

This is an overfill position and it will be eliminated after the retirement of our current Life and Fire Safety Specialist in the Spring of 2026.

The proposed position is designed to manage the existing workload, which includes inspecting over 2,800 occupancies. Simultaneously, the new hire will undergo training alongside other staff members with the potential to be promoted into the Fire and Life Safety Specialist position. This role serves as the primary contact for local developers, architects, and engineers throughout the life cycle of a p roject. Additionally, the Fire Inspector II position will actively contribute to improved life safety inspections and corrections in high-risk areas, such as the Barstow corridor and other identified non -compliance hot spots by business type or within spec ific geographic areas.

From a long -term perspective, the fiscal impact is anticipated to be mitigated, considering reduced retirement and roll-up costs associated with the civilian nature of the position. The Fire Inspector II will report to the Special P rojects/Life Safety Enforcement Manager and be supported by the Fire and Life Safety Specialist. Implementing this desired position allocation change will necessitate modifications to the City's Position Allocation Plan, requiring approval from the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for the remainder of FY 2023 -2024 for salary and benefits for this conversion would be approximately $29,000. There are adequate funds in the Fire Department budget to cover the costs of the position.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Adding one (1) Fire Inspector II position will provide the needed support for the Fire Prevention Division and allow time to train personnel to fill a future retirement in the Fire Prevention Division.

The change must be reflected in the author ized FY 2023 -2024 Fire Department position allocation. Modification of the Position Allocation Plan requires Council Approval.

123
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The position allocation for the Fire Department will be modified as noted in Attachment A of Attachment 1. The position vacancy will be filled through a recruitment.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to authorize the City Manager or designee to execute two real property purchase agreement s and associated documentation for approximately 3.3 acres located on Sunnyside Avenue, north of Shepherd Avenue and for approximately 1.7 acres located south of Behymer Avenue, east of Willow Avenue.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of this request would allow the City Manager or designee to sign the agreements and execute the purchase of 3.3 acres of property located east of Sunnyside Avenue, between Behymer Avenue and Shepherd Avenue tentatively known as Water Storage Reservoir Site 9 (Site 9) and 1.7 acres of property located west of Willow Avenue, between Behymer Avenue and Shepherd Avenue tentatively known as Water Storage Reservoir Site 10 (Site 10). These sites 137
AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.
would be utilized for the development of water storage tanks and a well site. The acquisition is budgeted in the City of Clovis 2023-24 budget.

BACKGROUND
The City is in need of acquiring two sites for the future water storage tanks and a well site consistent with the City’s Water Master Plan (Attachment 1 and 2). These facilities will support future development in the Heritage Grove area. The general location of these two sites were identified in the Water Master Plan and the specific sites were chosen based on the infrastructure location needs. The absence of these proposed water tanks would eventually prevent future development in this area.

Initial offers were made for the properties based on appraisals prepared by James G. Palmer Appraisals, Inc. in April of 2023. Since then, s taff has been in back-and-forth negotiations with the property owners and their attorney. The tentative purchase prices agreed to, subject to City Council approval, are $932,400 for Site 9 and $508,200 for Site 10. It is staff’s opinion that these purchase prices are reasonable based on comparable properties in the area and the need to move forward in a timely manner to construct th e needed water infrastructure projects. Delays in the construction of the needed water infrastructure projects will eventually affect development in the Heritage Grove area.

Purchase agreements have been signed by the seller and are attached as Attachment 3 and 4.

Execution of the proposed agreements will allow the City to open an escrow account and complete the property purchase transaction.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimated cost to acquire both sites is $1,440,600 . Funds for the acquisitions have been b udgeted in the City’s 2023-24 budget and will be allocated from the Water Capital Projects- Developer account.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Acquisition of the properties would secure the sites needed for the development of water delivery infrastructure.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL

1. Staff will execute the agreements and finalize the acquisition of the properties.

2. Staff will continue to work towards the development of the water reservoir sites and municipal well consistent with the City’s Water Master Plan.
