MONTHLY UPDATE OF STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
PRESENTED BY: LORI ANN FARRELL HARRISON, CITY MANAGER
CONTACT INFORMATION: ALMA REYES, ASSISTANT TO CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the October 2022 update to the City of Costa Mesa’s Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives.

BACKGROUND:

On October 16, 2021, the City Council adopted new Goals and Objectives for the 2021-2024 Three Year Strategic Plan and created a new six-month work plan covering the October 2021 through March 2022 period. The new Six Month Objectives (Attachment 1) were developed at the September 27, 2021 Strategic Planning retreat. During the workshop, the City Council developed key priorities and objectives for the next six months with staff input. Staff will continue to provide status updates to the City Council via the detailed work plan attached to this report, which is updated on a monthly basis.

A future Strategic Planning session will be scheduled where the current goals and objectives will be evaluated and the City Council and City leadership will identify new key priorities as well as new objectives for the following six months.

ANALYSIS:

The September 27, 2021 Strategic Planning Retreat included breakout groups where each of the five City Council Goals were discussed individually. Additionally, each breakout group developed key objectives for the next six-month period for each Goal, covering the October 2021 through March 2022 period. The matrix provides a detailed work plan with specific deliverables for each Goal including timeframes for project completion that will be updated and monitored monthly. It is important to note, deadlines may be extended for the completion of objectives due to internal and/or external factors.

TITLE:

APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS (MDC) DEPARTMENT: Information Technology (I.T.) Department
PRESENTED BY: Steve Ely, I.T. Director
CONTACT INFORMATION: Steve Ely, I.T. Director, (714) 754-4891 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Authorize the purchase of replacement Mobile Data Computers (MDC) for the Fire & Rescue Department based on pricing provided through the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) Value Point Master Agreement No. MNWNC-124 and California’sParticipating Addendum #7-15-70-34-023 for $168,331.76, with a 10% contingency ($16,833.18) for unforeseen costs, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $185,164.94.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents for the purchase of the MDCs and associated hardware from CDCE, Inc., 22641 Old Canal Road, Yorba Linda, California, 92887.

BACKGROUND:

The current Datalux MDCs, implemented in 2014, have reached their “endof life”and are no longer supported by the manufacturer as of December 2019. These systems are required; therefore, must be replaced.

Currently, MDCs are deployed in all Fire & Rescue Department vehicles, including support vehicles such as the Battalion Chiefs’and reserve units. The MDC is an integral piece of equipment allowing personnel in the field to communicate with the Dispatch Center and each other. They also allow personnel to access a variety of information and perform various tasks, which allows members to be more efficient and effective.

ANALYSIS:

When the Fire & Rescue Department determined the need to replace its aging MDCs, a search was conducted for cooperative agreements with vendors that could provide MDC solutions and services.

The Department found the following vendors were awarded a computer cooperative agreement that could be used in the State of California:

Page 1 of 3 ends

131
File #: 22-894 Meeting Date: 10/18/2022
· Panasonic
· Getac
· Dell
After comparing the vendor information, the Fire & Rescue Department determined Panasonic was the most capable vendor to meet the Department’s needs. The Fire & Rescue Department is confident Panasonic will provide excellent equipment and customer service.

Purchasing the MDCs through NASPO’sValue Point Master Agreement and California’sParticipating Addendum meets all requirements set forth by the City of Costa Mesa’sPurchasing Policy and all the requirements set forth by the State of California regarding regional, state, and national cooperative purchasing agreements. NASPO has established an approved vendor list following a nationwide competitive bid process. This process confirms the City still receives the lowest available pricing and meets the competitive bid process requirements. The purchased equipment will be completed through the Panasonic distribution channel partner SYNNEX. CDCE, Inc. is an authorized participant (reseller) for SYNNEX on the contract. All billing will be processed through CDCE, Inc., 22641 Old Canal Road, Yorba Linda, California, 92887.

A total of $250,000 was approved for this project during the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget process.

Other than MDCs, additional accessories, such as dual chip authentication cards and mounting equipment, will also be needed under this project.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may decide not to authorize the purchase; however, this option is not recommended. If the obsolete MDCs currently in use are not replaced, it will adversely impact the Fire & Rescue Department’s daily operations.

FISCAL REVIEW:

Funding for this project is included in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Information Technology Replacement Fund (ITRF) approved Budget as per the 5-year Information Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this staff report and approved it as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the following City Council Goals:
· Strengthen Public Safety and Improve the Quality of Life · Maintain and Enhance the City’s Infrastructure, Facilities, Equipment, and Technology

MARSHAL
CONTACT INFORMATION: ZIAD DOUDAR, BUILDING OFFICIAL, (714) 754-5604 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

BACKGROUND:

The State’sHealth and Safety Code (Section 17958) mandates that the California Building Standards Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) every three years. The California Code of Regulations, Title 24, with the 2022 Editions of the California Building Standards Code incorporating the below-listed model codes, becomes effective on January 1, 2023. The City regularly adopts these State codes, as amended, every three years.

Table 1 below identifies the model codes upon which the 2022 California Building Standards Code is based:

Table 1
California Building Standards Code Reference Model Code 2022 California Building Code 2021 International Building Code (ICC) 2022 California Residential Code 2021 International Residential Code (ICC) 2022 California Green Building Standards Code

ANALYSIS:

Staff has prepared an Ordinance adopting the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Code, with various amendments as described in this staff report and the Resolution, and repealing references to the prior editions of the model codes. The Ordinance also approves the current edition of the Orange County Grading and Excavation Code including any associated supplements.

Staff is recommending adoption of the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Code, with local amendments to the following three components:
· 2022 California Building Code
· 2022 California Residential Code
· 2022 California Fire Code
Such amendments are necessary to ensure that the City’sadopted Building Code standards respond to local climatic and geographic conditions in Costa Mesa. The attached Resolution sets forth the necessary findings to enable the City to amend the 2022 California Building Standards Code to reflect our local conditions. The Ordinance incorporates the necessary amendments to reflect these local conditions. The proposed amendments are consistent with the recommendations of the California Local Building Officials (CALBO) Association - Orange County Chapter, which is a professional group of local Building Officials who coordinate Code consistency matters for Orange County jurisdictions.

Other modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature and address subjects that are not covered by the codes or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within Costa Mesa.

The proposed adoption of the 2022 Edition of the California Building Codes, including the applicable amendments would, in general, address the City Council goal of keeping our community safe and to strengthen our commitment to safety by utilizing the most up to date building codes and construction practices.

File #: 22-873 Meeting Date: 10/18/2022
ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may adopt the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Code with the amendments and the current edition of the Orange County Grading and Excavation Code as recommended by Staff, with or without modifications. If the City Council does not adopt the 2022 Codes, then by default the new Building Codes as shown in the California Code of Regulations will take effect on January 1, 2023, without local amendments.

FISCAL REVIEW:

The adoption of the proposed Resolution and Ordinance will not have any fiscal impact on the City’s budget.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Ordinance as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the following City Council Goal:
· Strengthen the Public’s Safety and Improve the Quality of Life CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt the Resolution and approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 2022-XX, which modifies the Costa Mesa Municipal Code to adopt the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Code, as locally amended, and the current edition of the Orange County Grading and Excavation Code for implementation in the City of Costa Mesa. If the first reading is approved, staff will agendize a second reading and adoption of the Ordinance at the next available City Council meeting.

If the City Council approves the Ordinance, it will become effective on January 1, 2023.

Resolution No. 2022-xx Page 2 of 5
WHEREAS, amendments related to life and fire safety contained in Table 1505.1, Sections 1505.1.2 & 1807.1.6, of the 2022 Edition of the California Building Code, and Table R301.2, Sections R902.1, R902.1. 3, R902.2 of the 2022 Edition of the California Residential Code, Sections 503.2, 901.11. Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 9, 12, 25, 26, 31, & 56 of the 2022 California Fire Code as recommended by the Development Services Department are hereby found to be reasonably necessary due to the following local conditions:

A. Climatic Conditions

1. Hot, dry Santa Ana winds are common to all areas within the City of Costa Mesa and Orange County in general. These winds, which can cause small fires which spread quickly, are a contributing factor to the high fire danger in the area and create the need for an increased level of fire protection. This added protection will supplement normal Fire Department response and provide protection for life a nd safety of multiple occupants during fires.

2. Orange County and the City of Costa Mesa are in a semi -arid Mediterranean type of climate which predisposes all fuels, including wood shingles, to the rapid ignition and spread of fire. Therefore, there exists a need for additional fire protection measures.

B. Geographic Conditions

1. Orange County and the City of Costa Mesa are in a high seismically active area.

There are earthquake faults that run along both the northeastern and southwestern boundaries of Orange County. The Newport -Inglewood Fault Zone (NIFZ) which runs through Orange County was the source of the destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake (6.3 magnitude, hypocenter off Newport Beach coast), which took 120 lives, with areas damaged from Laguna Beach to Marina del Rey and inland to Whittier. The NIFZ currently poses one of the greatest hazards to lives and property in the nation. Regional planning for reoccurrence is recommended by the State of California, Department of Conservation.

There was also an earthquake in December 1989, with the epicenter located near the City of Irvine. The fault upon which this quake occurred was unknown prior to this activity.

The October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake resulted in only one major San Francisco fire in the Marina district, but when combined with the 34 other fires and over 500 responses required, the local Fire department was taxed to its full capabilities. The 141

Resolution No. 2022-xx Page 3 of 5
Marina fire was difficult to contain because water mains supplying water to the distr ict burst during the earthquake. If more fires had been ignited by the earthquake, it would have been difficult for the fire department to contain them. Experts predict a major earthquake in the Orange County area within the next 50 years. This situa tion creates the need for both additional fire protection measures and automatic on-site fire protection for building occupants since a multitude of fires may result from breakage of gas and electric lines as a result of an earthquake. As noted by “Planni ng Scenario on a Major Earthquake on the Newport -Inglewood Fault Zone, 1988, State Department of Conservation,” page 59, “unfortunately, barely meeting the minimum earthquake standards of building codes places a building on the verge of being legally unsafe”;

2. Peak hour traffic and circulation congestion in the City of Costa Mesa contribute to potential response delays in the Fire & Rescue Department's travel time to fire a nd rescue emergency occurrences . This condition will be exacerbated by any major emergency, including a natural or manmade disaster, wherein damage to the City's critical infrastructure or the highway system's under and overpasses may create impenetrable barriers. Additionally, responding to existing outlying areas and future development sites will likely be delayed. This condition makes the need for additional on -site protection of property and occupants necessary.

3. Untreated wood roofs cause or contribute to serious fire hazard and to the rapid spread of fires when such fires are accompanied by high winds. Pieces of burning wooden roofs become flying brands and are carried by the wind to other locations and thereby spread fire quickly. Past Grand Jury Report findings support this concern.
