Dr. Relf then indicated that the purpose of this public hearing is to receive input from the public relative to the expenditures for the CAPER. The comments from today’s hearing are placed in a report to be submitted to HUD on February 28, 2022. For Fiscal Year 2020-2021, the City received $1,511,679 CDBG funds and $580,749 of HOME funds for a total investment of $2,092,428 of entitlement funds from HUD. The purpose of the funding is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, create a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities.

Dr. Relf explained that the City also prepares an Action Plan in addition to other documents which details the fund expenditures which is submitted to HUD. HUD programming must be utilized to improve conditions for a low to moderate income earning residents. Dr. Relf presented a power point presentation detailing the census tract that has 51% or greater of low-income populations.

Dr. Relf then reported the projects, allocations and expenditures as follows:

All Comments and correspondence will be included in the documents submitted to HUD.

PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING THE HEARING
Joyce Kelly stated that one of the purposes of this item is to develop decent housing for the residents. Ms. Kelly indicated that Compton residents have not been properly informed regarding the First Time Home Buyers program and are not provided with information relative to the City’s funding programs and finances because there is no newspaper in Compton. Ms. Kelly further asserted that Youth Build has stated that they receive millions of dollars, and she further questioned why they would be receiving funding from the City. She further asked if the City has a Housing Department and who is the Director or if the Department is under the control of another agency or organization.

Lynn Boone informed the community that citizens may contact HUD to file a comment or complaint. Ms. Boone questioned if there are certain qualifications that must be met by the nonprofit organizations requesting funding, and further asserted that years ago, there was a Commission which provided oversight relative to HUD funding. Ms. Boone raised concerns that Compton Youth Build is housed in a City facility and pay a dollar a year for rent and added that there is no oversight to make certain that the individuals providing training possess the proper credentials. Ms. Boone concluded by asserting that legal notices are not properly advertised, since the City utilizes the services of the Compton Bulletin, which is not a generally circulated newspaper.

Maria Villareal commended the presentation and suggested that the Staff report should include specific information relative to how the funds are distributed. Ms. Villareal further stated that the City must provide financial information so that the community can be better informed. She concluded by stating that she has never seen any street repairs performed on 139th Street.

There being no further comments, it was moved by Galvan, seconded by Darden the public hearing was closed at 6:35 p.m. by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Galvan, Bowers, Darden, Sharif
NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – Chambers
Dr. Relf reported that the City utilizes several means of notifying the public of the various grants and programs such as Public Service Announcements on Channel 36, legal advertising in the newspaper and on various social media platforms, as well as mailing printed copies of the information to all the nonprofit organizations and other service organizations which are registered with the City. Dr. Relf further informed the residents that the organizations submit detailed information to the City which is sent to HUD for approval. The Federal Grants and Advisory Board formerly provided input relative to the selection process; however, the Boards, Committees and Commissions were disbanded. Staff worked in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Division relative to the nonprofit organizations and also worked with the Public Works Division relative to the CDBG funding resources and projects.

Councilman Galvan questioned whether any nonprofit organizations were rejected during the selection process and further noted that there are many great organizations in the City which do very good work and provide great programs and services to the residents, however, they are not provided with any funding from the City. Councilman Galvan further indicated that the organizations receiving funding should not be political and must not be involved with any political campaign efforts.

Dr. Relf replied that no organizations have been rejected by the City and added that the current CAPER documentation contains a report relative to the previous year’s program. Dr. Relf then announced that the City can only consider organizations that submit proposals. Dr. Relf indicated that the City conducts workshops on the applications, proposal submission procedures per the Request for Proposal guidelines provided by HUD.

Mayor Sharif indicated that the information relative to the workshop and training was not widely circulated amongst the community and requested that Staff provide additional resources toward advertising and training workshops to the community.

Dr. Relf indicated that the City Council extended the time frame for the submittal of proposals and Staff offered additional workshop assistance to the organizations, however, Staff can only move forward with the proposals that were actually submitted to the City.

Councilman Bowers questioned whether the Grants Division offers any type of oversight during the selection process to ensure that the correct procedures are being followed by the City.

Dr. Relf replied that the Grants Division follows the rules and guidelines set forth by HUD, however, many organizations are unable or unwilling to go through the rigorous process of submitting the required tax returns and documentation along with their proposals. 5:40 P.M. – PUBLIC HEARING – AMENDMENT OF THE HUD ANNUAL ACTION

The City of Compton submitted an Annual Action Plan in August 2021 with the exception of the nonprofit organizations, in order to move forward with HUD programming. However, the City can modify the proposed Annual Action Plan, conduct another meeting, and/or adjust usage of funding after August 2021, if necessary, by submitting an amendment to HUD.

Dr. Relf then provided that the public comments and feedback indicated that the City should address community services, infrastructure improvement, providing more neighborhood services, special services and housing services.

Dr. Relf then indicated that the City of Compton expects to receive HUD grant funds for fiscal year 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. The City maximizes the benefit of these funds by partnering with local non-profit organizations to conduct eligible activities. The City invited proposals from qualified nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations who have been established for at least two years and provide housing or community development services within the boundaries of the City of Compton or that provide services to residents of the City of Compton.

Existing CDBG Recipients - Organizations that have previously received funding under the CDBG program must be up to date on their reporting requirements in order to be considered for continued support, as well as monitoring and audit reports should be in good standing.

Dr. Relf presented the proposed grant award recipients to the City Council and the Compton community:
o Children’s clinic may receive $60,000 for comprehensive health and wellness for 2,000 families who reside in Compton.

Mr. Carlos informed the City Council of the large homeless encampment near the 91 Freeway and cautioned that these encampments are a ‘disaster waiting to happen.’ He indicated that he served on the Parks and Recreation Commission before it was dissolved and further encouraged the Council to appoint Latinos to the various committees and commissions when they are re-instated. Mr. Carlos requested that the City re-open the parks and recreational centers in the City for the enjoyment of the residents.

Humberto Espelito spoke with the aid of a translator and commented that the Latino community must be represented and further stated that he has solutions for the problems of the community.

Mr. Espelito further stated that the complaints and concerns of the citizens are not being addressed and urged the City Council to work with the community to bring housing solutions to the City.

Irene Taylor commented that she has been a resident of Compton since 1985 and indicated that the Compton Creek has never looked as bad as it currently does, and further urged the City Council to clean up the area. Ms. Taylor informed the Council that the trees along the Compton Creek are infested with rodents which have moved to the surrounding homes and are causing a health risk to the residents and must be removed. Ms. Taylor commended Compton native Nurse Shannon Jackson, aka "The People's Nurse," who went from relying on welfare to serving on the front lines during the Covid-19 pandemic. Her latest mission is to provide communities in Southern California with resources and information about the pandemic, and general health and wellness through her program called “Street Love.” Ms. Taylor then requested that the City Council address the homeless individuals around the City.

Maria Villareal, CEO Latino Chamber of Commerce stated that there are many issues facing the City of Compton and the City Council and the people must work together, and added we are losing our youth to violence and crime. Ms. Villareal encouraged the people of the community to work together with the Latino Chamber of Commerce on the Taste of Compton event which will be held in October of this year and invited residents to call: 310–554–0244 for additional information.

Ms. Villareal announced that the Latino Chamber of Commerce is now providing information and assistance to those individuals who wish to become US citizens.

Ms. Walter demanded that the City Council reinstate National Association for Equal Justice in America (NAEJA) back to the City of Compton. She indicated that NAEDJA is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization which has been very instrumental in significantly reducing Homicides and other crimes in the past and must be reinstated immediately. Ms. Walter spoke in opposition to allowing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) in the City and concluding by speaking in support of returning Emily Hart-Holifield’s name on the marquee outside the Compton Community College Library.

Councilmember Chambers spoke in support of the resolution and praised and commended the Compton employees for their dedicated service and commitment to the residents and the City as they continue to provide essential services to our community.

Councilperson Darden commented that she fully supports all the Compton employees for their dedicated service, however, the residents should have had the opportunity to provide their input relative to this issue. Councilperson Darden further noted that this resolution only addresses one of the City’s Unions.

Councilman Bowers also commented that he supports the employees and added that some of his constituents are commenting that many other issues must be addressed instead, such as the cleanup and maintenance of the Compton Creek.

Mayor Sharif agreed that many City employees worked throughout the pandemic, and some became ill with Covid-19, quarantined and returned to work the moment their test results came back negative. Mayor Sharif thanked and commended the many employees who put their lives at risk to provide top quality essential services to the residents of Compton.

There was discussion among the City Council regarding utilizing American Rescue funds to reinstate those employees that were laid off due to the pandemic. City Manager Simpson stressed that the essential pay is a one-time disbursement, and further indicated that should the Council consider utilizing the funds to re-instate laid off employees, the Council must consider that there must be funds available to support retaining personnel.

Councilmember Darden expressed her support for the employees but cautioned that the City must take the time to make certain that the correct procedures are followed and that everything is done accurately. Ms. Darden suggested that the item be removed from the agenda and brought back at a later date.

CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF COMPTON MAYOR OF THE CITY OF COMPTON February 22, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT

WITH EMERGENCY PLANNING CONSULTANTS (EPC) TO REVISE
AND UPDATE THE CITY’S HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN ($45,000)
AND TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 REVENUE BUDGET

TO APPROPRIATE ANTICIPATED GRANT REVENUE OF THIRTY
THREE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($33,750.00)

SUMMARY
The attached Resolution authorizes the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Emergency Planning Consultants to revise and update the City’s Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.

BACKGROUND
Hazard mitigation planning reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of disasters. It begins with state, tribal and local governments identifying natural disaster risks and vulnerabilities that are common in their area. After identifying these risks, longterm strategies are developed for protecting people and property from similar events.

Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction.

Pursuant to the Disaster Mitigation act of 2000, local government agencies must adopt a Hazard Mitigation Plan and update it every five years to remain eligible for various pre-and-post disaster grants and community assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The City adopted a Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan and updated the Plan on December 13, 2011. The Plan has since expired on April 11, 2016, and needs to be updated as soon as possible. Failure to do so may have a detrimental financial impact on the City.

The Compton Fire Department submitted a grant proposal to California Operations Emergency Services (Cal OES) to receive a reimbursement for Seventy-Five (75%) percent of the cost for the update and completion of the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan; the proposal was approved December 19, 2019.

2. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
On November 18, 2020, Staff published a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit formal bids and received the following quotes: IEM ($33,710.71); Emergency Planning Consultants ($45,000.00); Interwest Consulting Group ($45,000.00); AARC Consultants, LLC ($61,895.00); and CMTS, LLC ($44,640.00).

Earlier this year, staff reached out to the above vendors and asked if the proposals submitted and opened on January 14, 2021 were still valid due to the time delay for the completion of the selection process along with completing the staff report and resolution. To wit: Emergency Planning Consultants ($45,000.00) and AARC Consultants, LLC ($61,895.00) have confirmed to be the same. The remaining three (3) vendors, IEM ($33,710.71), Interwest Consulting Group ($45,000.00) and CMTS, LLC ($44,640.00), informed us that the proposals submitted would need to be amended and are no longer valid. These vendors also indicated that their respective amended proposals would be higher than their initial proposals.

After reviewing all of the proposals, staff has determined that Emergency Planning Consultants (EPC) was the lowest and most responsible bidder and that the needs of the Department would best be met by contracting with Emergency Planning Consultants (EPC). EPC has done extensive work with writing FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plans in Southern California; including 16 out of 25 cities in Area E. EPC also successfully facilitated the City’s prior and existing Natural Hazard Mitigation Plans and already has the knowledge about our organizational features and characteristics of Compton.

City Council approval is needed because the expenditure is in excess of $5,000.00 Dollars.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this update is Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00). Funds for this expenditure is available in the 2021-2022 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 1001- 690-000-4269.

Once completed, the City will be reimbursed Thirty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars and Zero Cents ($33,750.00) and will be deposited under “Other State Grants” in Account No. 1001-000-0000-3569, which we would like to request an appropriation to amend the Revenue Budget for this account in the FY 2021-2022 Budget. The City’s portion of 25% of the cost is Eleven Thousand Two-Hundred Fifty Dollars and Zero Cents ($11,250.00). These funds are available in the 2021-2022 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 1001-690-000-4269.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution.

BACKGROUND
On June 22, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25,512, which adopted the City of Compton’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget. The Municipal Water Department (“Department”) is responsible for regulating the public water systems, water services programs and billing. The Department constructs, inspects, maintains and repairs water mains, gate valves, fire hydrants and water services to provide adequate potable water to the residents and businesses of Compton.

The Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget authorizes a Cross Connection Investigator position and two (2) Administrative Specialist positions.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Staff has reviewed the current positions within the Department and has identified an operational need to amend the Department’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget by adding one (1) Senior Pump Operator position and one (1) Administrative Analyst II position.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

ADOPTING A NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO COMPLY PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 619 REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH SENATE BILL
1383

SUMMARY
This resolution requests that City Council adopt a notification of intent to comply (NOIC) pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 619 regarding compliance with Senate Bill 1383 (Short-lived Climate Pollutants), which will offer the City relief from administrative civil penalties for the 2022 calendar year. Essentially, if the City fails to adopt enforceable mechanisms to implement the SB 1383 regulations, before January 1, 2022, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) can retroactively impose administrative civil penalties against the City.

BACKGROUND
SB 1383 was signed into law in September 2016. SB 1383 establishes methane emissions reduction targets statewide to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants in various sectors of California’s economy. This legislation establishes targets to achieve a 50% reduction in the statewide disposal of organic waste, based on 2014 levels, by the year 2020 and a 75% reduction by 2025. SB 1383 also establishes an additional target that not less than 20% of edible food that is currently disposed of be recovered for human consumption by the year 2025.

CalRecycle, the state department tasked with administering California’s waste and recycling programs, adopted SB 1383 Regulations that took effect on January 1, 2022.

The SB 1383 Regulations require the City (and other local jurisdictions) to adopt a mandatory organic waste recycling ordinance (or other similarly enforceable mechanism) by January 1, 2022, to mandate that organic waste generators and other entities subject to the City’s authority, including haulers, commercial edible food generators and food recovery organizations, comply with the SB 1383 Regulations.

SB 1383 Regulations commenced on January 1, 2022, which required the City to adopt an enforceable ordinance that will compel the residents and businesses within the City to recycle their organic and food waste. The City is required to provide all organic waste generators in the City with organic waste collection services that meet certain requirements, including labeling and container/lid color requirements. Haulers are

6. Staff Report - Resolution to Adopt a Notification of Intent to Comply February 22, 2022 Page 2
required to transport organic waste to facilities where it can be recovered rather than disposed. Generators are required to subscribe to and participate in the City’s organic waste collection service. Commercial edible food generators are required to arrange for recovery of the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed of in a landfill. The SB 1383 Regulations also imposed requirements related to contamination monitoring, enforcement, education, record keeping, reporting, and meeting annual targets for the procurement of recovered organic waste products.

The SB 1383 Regulations provide CalRecycle the authority to bring enforcement actions against jurisdictions that do not comply with the SB 1383 Regulations. Jurisdictions that violate the SB 1383 Regulations will face possible fines ranging from $500 to $10,000 per violation, per day depending on the violation (minor, moderate, or major). Failure to adopt an ordinance or similarly enforceable mechanism for organic waste disposal reduction and edible food recovery by January 1, 2022 is considered a major violation of the SB 1383 Regulations (with penalties ranging from $7,500 to $10,000). If a jurisdiction fails to comply within 90 days of a Notice of Violation from CalRecycle, CalRecycle can issue a corrective action plan setting forth the actions the jurisdiction must take to correct the violations.

In April 2021, SB 619 was signed into law in response to the difficulty many jurisdictions are facing meeting the deadlines for complying with the SB 1383 Regulations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. SB 619 does not automatically waive any SB 1383 deadlines or requirements, but it allows jurisdictions to submit to CalRecycle a NOIC with SB 1383 with respect to SB 1383 violations that commence during the 2022 calendar year.

CalRecycle must approve a NOIC that is consistent with the statutory requirements. A jurisdiction that implements an approved NOIC is eligible for relief from administrative penalties for the 2022 calendar year (otherwise CalRecycle may revoke its approval of the NOIC and impose administrative penalties for violations occurring during the 2022 calendar year retroactive to the date of the violation). For violations that commence during the 2022 calendar year and continue into the 2023 calendar year, penalties may begin accruing as of January 1, 2023. However, CalReclye shall waive the penalties accruing in 2023 if CalRecycle allows the jurisdiction to prepare a corrective action plan and the jurisdiction complies with the plan. In addition, CalRecycle may require a jurisdiction to prepare a corrective action plan if the NOIC indicates that violations will take more than 180 days to correct.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City is required to comply with SB 1383 Regulations, while putting the responsibility for funding, administrating, and implementing those goals solely on the City. The City’s compliance has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, an expiring contract with our exclusive waste hauler (Effective Sep. 30, 2022, which may require a RFP process), and the SB 1383 Ordinance requirement, which has yet to be adopted.

Therefore, the City will submit a NOIC (attached document titled “Exhibit A”) in compliance with SB 619 to CalRecycle by March 01, 2022, with the following information:

Staff Report - Resolution to Adopt a Notification of Intent to Comply February 22, 2022 Page 3

1. A description of continuing violations;

2. A detailed explanation of the reasons, along with supporting documentation, why the City is unable to comply with the SB 1383 regulations;

3. A description of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted compliance, and

4. A description of the proposed actions the City will take to remedy the violations within the timelines established in 14 CCR section 18996.2 with a proposed schedule for doing so.

The approval process will take approximately 45 business days, from the day CalRecycle receives the NOIC. Upon approval, the City’s NOIC; may be eligible for both of the following:

1. Administrative civil penalty relief for the 2022 calendar year pursuant to PRC section 42652.5(d); and

2. A corrective plan pursuant to 14 CCR section 18996.2.

ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend any alternatives.

FISCAL IMPACT
There may be a potential financial impact if Council chooses not to adopt this resolution.

CalRecycle may retroactively assess penalties, from January 1, 2022 that will range from $500 to $10,000 per violation, per day.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt this resolution affirming the contents and timeline of the attached NOIC in order to avoid administrative civil penalties for the 2022 calendar year.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE GREATER LOS

ANGELES HOMELESS SERVICES AUTHORITY (LAHSA) TO

PARTICIPATE IN THE LOS ANGELES HOMELESS COUNT OPT-IN
PROGRAM FOR THREE YEARS 2022 THROUGH 2024

SUMMARY
This resolution authorizes the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for three (3) years with Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to participate in the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Opt-In Program. This will allow the City of Compton to become an Opt-in Partner for Homeless Counts 2022 through 2024.

BACKGROUND
The goal of the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count is to create a registry of unhoused people living in Compton. At the conclusion of the count, the survey data will be made available to the City, LAHSA and local homeless service providers so that they may prioritize those individuals who have experienced prolonged homelessness and are the most vulnerable.

The Homeless Count occurs on a yearly basis and consists of four components: 1) the street count; 2) the demographic survey; 3) the shelter count; and 4) the youth count. The street count refers to the process of counting homeless persons residing in shelters or living on the street, in parks, cars of other places not meant for human habitation.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count will begin on February 22 - 24, 2022 with teams of volunteer surveyors that will canvas the streets of Los Angeles County to survey each city's most vulnerable homeless individuals sleeping on the streets. The City of Compton is part of Spa 6 and the data will be reported under that service area. The data obtained from the Homeless Count is very useful information that is used to state, regional and local agencies in their efforts of advocating for additional and specialized resources to combat the homelessness epidemic.

10. Staff Report - Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count

The City of Compton in partnership with LAHSA will facilitate the recruitment of volunteers to assist the City of Compton with implementation of a robust and active engagement plan for the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count.

LAHSA will assist the City with volunteer training and materials and provide the City with the designated census tract data necessary to manage the count. The MOU sets forth the agreement between LAHSA and the City of Compton. It also sets forth the duties and responsibilities of LAHSA and the City to participate in the Homeless Count.

Volunteers are required to sign waivers of liability.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City and its partners will solicit volunteers for the City of Compton Homeless Count.

Therefore, there will be no cost to the City General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into the Memorandum of Understanding to participate in the Los Angeles Homeless Count Opt-In Program for three years.

1 GREATER LOS ANGELES HOMELESS COUNT
2022 Street Count Community Agreement
Updated as of November 2, 2021

This Community Agreement for Partners (Community Agreement) sets forth roles and responsibilities between the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the Community Partner (Partner) during the annual Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count.

BACKGROUND
LAHSA is a joint powers authority, formed by the City and County of Los Angeles in 1993, to address the problems of homelessness in Los Angeles. LAHSA is the lead agency of the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (LA CoC). The LA CoC includes 85 cities and the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, excluding only the cities of Glendale, Long Beach and Pasadena, as each of those three cities operate their own independent Continuums.

The Community Agreement is specific to the Street Count Component of the Homeless Count. For more info on other components of the Homeless Count please see the latest Methodology Report:
https://www.lahsa.org/documents?id=4658-usc-2020-homeless-count-methodology-report The 2020 Homeless Count was the largest such undertaking in the country, benefitting from the support of more than 8,000 volunteers. The data gathered from the 2020 Homeless Count is extremely valuable. It supplies government agencies, service providers and housing providers with a reliable estimate of the homeless population in the City and County of Los Angeles, including sub-regions such as Service Planning Areas (SPAs), Supervisorial Districts (SDs), and Council Districts (CDs). It also provides an array of demographic information.

This Community Agreement gives cities, communities, and other stakeholders the opportunity to ensure that the collection of local data is completed with a high confidence level because of your local knowledge. Full enumeration of every agreed-upon census tract within each city/community area provides more granular data and can substantially aid efforts to evaluate existing homeless services and plan for future measures to address local homelessness in your community.

I. PARTNER RESPONSIBILITIES
To ensure a successful enumeration of people experiencing homelessness, the Community Partner will be responsible for providing the following:

A. Street Count

1. Follow the methodology approved by LAHSA

2. Count all the census tracts in the Community Partner’s jurisdiction and unincorporated areas agreed upon.

3. If needed, count additional census tracts that may be assigned to the Community Partner’s deployment site due to distance, and/or lack of deployment centers in a community nearby. LAHSA will inform Community Partner within two weeks of Street Count night.

2 4. To achieve continuous, reliable counts of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness, it is strongly encouraged that at least 30-days prior to the Homeless Count, your city/community area does not target people experiencing homelessness to conduct clean-ups, as doing so would impact the accuracy of the Homeless Count.

B. Deployment Site
A Deployment Site is a location within your area, on the day of the street count, from which volunteers will be deployed to perform the Homeless Count, which meets the following requirements:

1. ADA accessible location

2. Follow all state, county, or local city safety standards and precautions in place at the time of the Street Count, including (but not limited to) use of personal protective equipment and social distancing;

3. Provide a safe environment for volunteers and deployment site staff, including:
a. Having most or all of the activities outdoors with:
i. Sufficient sources of power, lighting
ii. Access to restrooms
iii. Accommodate inclement/cold/windy weather
or
b. Having most or all of the activities indoors:
i. In a facility large enough to provide social distancing ii. Provides well ventilation
iii. Follows other safety protocols in place at the Street Count

4. Outdoor parking to accommodate the maximum number of volunteers expected

5. Assist with logistics and coordinating access to the deployment site during the Street Count C. Deployment Site Coordinator
Partner provides a Deployment Site Coordinator who has the following responsibilities/duties:

1. Directing operations at a volunteer Deployment Site including site set-up

2. Ensuring volunteers are deployed in teams

3. Recruiting Deployment Site Coordinator Assistant(s) to assist with Deployment Site Coordinator tasks and responsibilities

4. Tracking and checking all volunteer teams to ensure that they return in a timely manner

5. Answering volunteer questions

RELEASE, INDEMNITY, AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY (used when you are partnering with a public entity) Each of the parties to this Agreement is a public entity. In contemplation of the provisions of Section 895.2 of the Government Code of the State of California imposing certain tort liability jointly upon public entities solely by reason that such entities are parties to an Agreement as defined by Section 895 of said Code, the parties hereto, as between themselves, pursuant to the authorization contained in Sections 895.4 and 895.6 of said Code, will each assume the full liability imposed upon it, or any of its officers, agents or employees, by law, for injury caused by any negligent or wrongful act or omission occurring in the performance of this Agreement to the same extent that such liability would be imposed in the absence of Section 895.2 of said Code.

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE ANNUAL PURCHASE
ORDERS TO INSIGHT PUBLIC SECTOR, INC. FOR MICROSOFT
SOFTWARE LICENSES COVERING A THIRTY SIX (36) MONTH TERM

IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED TWO HUNDRED FOURTEEN

THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR DOLLARS
($214,984.00)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to accept the proposal of Insight Public Sector, Inc. (“Insight”), create a purchase order in an amount not to exceed Seventy One Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty-Two dollars ($71,662.00) per fiscal year and execute any supporting documents for the purchase of Microsoft Corporation Software Licenses.

BACKGROUND
The Internal Services Department oversees purchasing and maintaining software licenses to support the City’s computer network. The Microsoft Windows Software License is one of the main licenses needed to sustain the network since the system (servers, desktops, software, etc.) is a Window-based platform. The current licenses were purchased through an agreement with SHI International, Inc. under Resolution No. 25,503 during the June 22, 2021, City Council Meeting. The current agreement has a one-year term, and the licenses are set to expire at the end of February 2022.

In anticipation of the renewal, staff conducted a thorough assessment of the current and future needs of the City’s licensing needs and has ascertained that three hundred license renewals are needed to maintain the computer network. Software licenses are not issued directly through Microsoft, Inc., but through authorized retailers that supply technical support as well as the licenses.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Internal Services Department solicited proposals for the purchase of Microsoft Corporation Software Licenses. The following proposals were received:

11. Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Purchase Order INSIGHT PUBLIC SECTOR, INC. / Renewal of Microsoft Licenses February 22, 2022, Page 2

COMPANIES PROPOSAL AMOUNT ANNUAL AMOUNT
Insight Public Sector Inc. $214,983.39 $71,662.00
Crayon $222,351.15 $74,118.00
SHI International Corporation $231,956.43 $77,319.00
Staff has reviewed the proposals and determined that Insight Public Sector, Inc. provided the best proposal for licensing at $214,984.00, or $71,662.00 annually.

The proposals are based on a three-year term and will span from March 2022 through February 2025. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed resolution and authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order for the next three fiscal years in an amount not to exceed $71,662.

ALTERNATIVE
None proposed.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this expenditure are available in the 2021-2022 Fiscal Year budget of the Internal Services Department in Account No. 1001-620-IT0-4222 ($71,662) and will be budgeted the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Budgets.

RECOMMENDATION
It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.
