Market Rate Housing Affordability
To evaluate housing affordability in Cudahy, the analysis compares the household income at the midpoint of each income category from Table 1 to the market rents by number of bedrooms from Table 2. In addition to rents, the analysis also includes a conservative estimate of utility costs.

The maximum affordable monthly rent including utilities for each income category is calculated as 30 percent of gross monthly household income. If the difference between the maximum affordable rent and the total monthly housing costs is negative, then housing for that income category and housing product is considered unaffordable.

Table 4 identifies the income required to afford market rate rents in the City, by household size.

The income required to afford market rate rents assumes that 30 percent of gross income spent on housing and utility costs is considered affordable. The annual affordable housing costs is then compared to the area median income (area median income) to estimate amount of gross income above AMI that is needed to afford each product type, by household size.

Market Rate Housing Prototypes and Gross Income
This analysis identified two market rate residential prototypes based on a review of the housing market in Cudahy.

Market Rate Rental Prototype
The data collected to identify the current average asking rent in Cudahy was also used to identify typical rental product characteristics. The typical rental unit in the City was a two bedroom, one bathroom unit sized at 915 square feet. Using the current asking rent data, and the housing cost as percent of gross income assumptions discussed above, the amount of gross income needed to afford rent in Cudahy is calculated in Table 5. It requires an annual gross household income of $48,800 to rent a market rate multifamily unit in Cudahy.

City of Cudahy Affordable Housing Impact Fee Nexus Study 7 Market Rate For Sale Prototype
Recent housing sales data was collected from Zillow.com from December 2019 to December 2021. That data informed the typical for sale product prototype displayed below in Table 6. The gross household income necessary to afford to purchase the prototype is then calculated using current interest rates and estimated housing ownership costs. It requires an annual gross household income of $94,600 to purchase a home in Cudahy.

Aggregate Income
Table 7 identifies the aggregate household income of 100 single family owner households and 100 single family renter households who can afford housing at the market rate. This aggregate income is used as the driver of induced economic effects using the IMPLAN model.

Induced Employment Impacts
The aggregate household income identified above is used to estimate the number of new jobs that new households will support with their household expenditures using the IMPLAN model.

IMPLAN is an input-output based economic impact model used for a variety of different analyses.

In this case IMPLAN models the economy for a region.

For this analysis, IMPLAN used data specific to Los Angeles County to estimate the multipliers effects from new households. Essentially, IMPLAN used the increase in household spending associated with the new prototype households to identify the jobs (or fraction of jobs) that are supported by that spending.

The output of the IMPLAN model was then cross referenced with the assumed compensation associated with each occupation to estimate the aggregate number of jobs induced within each income category.

Table 8 shows the results of the IMPLAN analysis in terms of the induced employment and household generation supported by household spending from the gross income of 100 market rate multifamily rental households.

Table 9 shows the results of the IMPLAN analysis in terms of the induced employment and household generation supported by household spending from the gross income of 100 market rate single family ownership households.

City of Cudahy Affordable Housing Impact Fee Nexus Study 11 Affordable Housing Development Costs
Table 10 displays the assumed cost to build affordable rental units in Cudahy. These cost assumptions were based on a recently approved 177-unit senior and supportive housing development project in Cudahy. On average it costs $590,000 per unit to build affordable housing in Cudahy, including land, hard costs, soft costs, and other indirect costs.

Table 10: Affordable Housing Development

Total Development Costs per Unit $ 590,000

Affordability Gap and Maximum Fee Calculation
The housing affordability gap is the difference between what very low, low, and moderate-income households can afford to pay for housing, and the cost to develop affordable housing units. The affordable monthly rent associated with each income level is used to estimate the monthly supportable debt per unit, which is then used to estimate the loan proceeds associated with that level of income. The loan amount is compared to the affordable unit development costs, and the difference is the financing gap per unit.

The financing gap per unit is then multiplied by the number of units induced within each income category to determine the total financing gap associated with the 100 prototype units. This figure is then divided by 100 to determine the housing fee per unit, by prototype type. The fee per unit is finally divided by the assumed prototype square footage to determine the fee per square foot.

Table 11 displays the calculation of the affordability gap and maximum justified affordable housing impact fee for new multifamily rental units and for new single family units.

13 2. Implementation
Impact Fee Program Adoption Process
Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in the California Government Code section 66016. Adoption of an impact fee program requires the City Council to follow certain procedures including holding a public hearing. Data, such as an impact fee report, must be made available at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. The City’s legal counsel should be consulted for any other procedural requirements as well as advice regarding adoption of an enabling ordinance and/or a resolution. After adoption there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before the fees go into effect.

Inflation Adjustment
The City can keep its impact fee program up to date by periodically adjusting the fees for inflation.

Such adjustments should be completed regularly to ensure that new development will fully fund its share of needed facilities. We recommend that the California Construction Cost Index (https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Resources/Page-Content/Real-Estate-Services-DivisionResources-List-Folder/DGS-California-Construction-Cost-Index-CCCI) be used for adjusting fees for inflation. The California Construction Cost Index is based on data from the Engineering News Record and is aggregated and made available for free by the State of California.

The fee amounts can be adjusted based on the change in the index compared to the index in the base year of this study (2021).

While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, the City will also need to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant changes to the housing market occur. Note that decreases in index value will result in decreases to fee amounts.

WHEREAS, the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance with accompanying Environmental Review Streamlining Process have been available for public review and comment on ______ at a Regular City Council Meeting.

NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUDAHY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. CEQA Compliance. Attachment 1. Approval of a Categorical Exemption. The adoption of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and accompanying Environmental Review Streamlining Process, and addition of definitions to the Zoning Code, are not subject to environmental review under CEQA pursuant to § 15060(c)(2) because the ordinance will not itself result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment since it does not increase permitted densities, change the number of residential units anticipated by the General Plan, or change zoning. Future discretionary development under the Ordinance will be subject to project-specific CEQA review. Approving the Ordinance does not commit the City to any particular course of action for an Inclusionary Housing project. On its own, this action will not result in any physical changes to the environment that have not been previously considered by the General Plan and Zoning Code.

Page 159 of 320 ends

3 SECTION 2. Findings pursuant to California Government and Health and Safety Codes.

The City Council finds and determines that the Ordinance complies with California Government Code Section 65850, as to the requirements on new development: Identifies the affordable housing requirements and regulations of the use of buildings, structures, and land; requires, as a condition of the development of residential rental units, that the development include a certain percentage of residential rental units affordable to, and occupied by, households with incomes that do not exceed the limitsfor moderate-income, lower income, very low income, or extremely low- income households specified in Sections 50079.5, 50093, 50105, and 50106 of the Health and Safety Code. The Ordinance provides alternative means of compliance that include, but are not limited to, in-lieu fees, land dedication, off-site construction, or acquisition and rehabilitation of existing units. Adoption of the Ordinance includes the following: a Resolution establishing an in-lieu affordable housing fee for residential and mixed use with residential development projects, establishing an Affordable Housing Trust Fund for the in-lieu affordable housing fee and other fees association with the Ordinance, and establishing an Administration fee administering the Ordinance.

SECTION 3. General Plan Consistency. This amendment complies with Cudahy Municipal Code Title 20, Chapter 20.84, Section 510, A. The amendment is consistent with the goals of the General Plan; (1) LUE-5: Accommodate different family sizes and income levels through a variety of different types and scales of housing and (2) HE-1: The City of Cudahy will improve the housing supply and the choice of housing opportunities through private investment and, where necessary, through public action and financing.

This amendment does not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals and policies because provisions for affordable housing are central goals of the General Plan.

SECTION 4. Surrounding Properties. This amendment complies with Cudahy Municipal Code Title 20, Chapter 20.84, Section 510, B. The amendment will not adversely affect surrounding properties; as the amendment itself does not include a specific project, on a specific site.

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor/ Members fo the City Council
From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
By: Andres Rangel, Management Analyst
Subject: Approval of a Reimbursement Agreement for Shelter Beds Within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Reimbursement Agreement For the Bell Salvation Army Bell Shelter Beds for a not to exceed amount of $62,415.50.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS

The Salvation Army Bell Shelter is located within the city limits of the City of Bell and the shelter receives unhoused residents from the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) system. The Bell Shelter provides a significant portion of the region’s shelter beds, including the needs of Cudahy.

The LCA1 cities and unincorporated areas (Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, East Los Angeles, Huntington Park, Maywood, South Gate, Vernon, and Walnut Park) surrounding the Salvation Army Bell Shelter face a disproportionate homelessness impact. Unhoused individuals that are transported to the Salvation Army Bell Shelter from the greater Los Angeles County region may not successfully transfer to permanent housing for a variety of reasons, may not accept the mental health or drug and alcohol treatment services provided at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, or may refuse to conform to the rules necessary for a safe and orderly living environment for residents of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. As a result of these personal choices, and despite the best efforts of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter staff, these individuals may increase the unhoused population in the LCA1 cities, the surrounding unincorporated communities, and in the adjacent Los Angeles River channel. Thus, improved subregional coordination between the affected Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) area LCA1 communities, Los Angeles County Supervisorial Districts 1 and 4, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (Gateway COG), and existing regional agencies and nonprofit service providers is necessary to address the complex issue of homelessness in a manner that Item Number

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
04/19/2022 Page 2 of 2

improves quality of life in the SELA subregion and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of existing regional services for the unhoused.

Several meetings of the LCA1 cities discussed how to distribute costs among the agencies, with several cost factors proposed. The LCA1 group looked at the following factors: population, general fund budget, five-year average of homeless point in time counts, city area in square miles, five-year average of homeless point in time counts by square mile, and equal share.

Ultimately, the LCA1 cities agreed to share an equal one-eighth (1/8th) cost of the pilot program.

On September 7, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution No. 21-25, approving participation in the Los Angeles Urban County Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA). A portion of the funds awarded to the City by the PLHA program is allocated to contribute to the one-eigth cost that pertains to the City.

If approved, the City would contribute $62,415.50 of the awarded PLHA funds to cover its share of the costs for the Salvation Army Bell Shelter Beds. The term of the agreement would end June 30, 2023.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Reimbursement Agreement For the Bell Salvation Army Bell Shelter Beds for a not to exceed amount of $62,415.50.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The agreement not-to-exceed limit is $62,415.50 to be paid by PLHA funds. No fiscal impact to the general fund.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
FOR

SHELTER BEDS WITHIN THE SALVATION ARMY BELL SHELTER
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of March ____, 2022 (“Effective Date”) by and among the CITY OF BELL, a California charter city (“Bell”), the CITY OF BELL GARDENS, a California general law city (“Bell Gardens”),the CITY OF COMMERCE, a California general law city (“Commerce”), the CITY OF CUDAHY, a California general law city (“Cudahy”), the CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK, a California general law city (“Huntington Park”), the CITY OF MAYWOOD, a California general law city (“Maywood”), the CITY OF SOUTH GATE, a California general law city (“South Gate”), and the CITY OF VERNON, a California charter city and municipal corporation (“Vernon”), collectively referred to herein as the “LCA1 Members” and/or the “Parties”.

RECITALS
A. The cities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, South Gate, and Vernon, are members of a Local Coordinating Alliance 1 (“LCA1”), a cooperative working group of eight (8) entities developed within the Gateway Cities Council of Governments for subregional homeless services coordination in the Southeast Los Angeles subregion of Service Planning Area 7 (“SPA 7”). The LCA1 Members have agreed to coordinate resources and services to address homelessness in the Southeastern Los Angeles region within a provisional pilot program as described / outlined pursuant to the terms in this Agreement.

B. Los Angeles County (First and Fourth Supervisorial Districts) (“County”) will separately participate with The Salvation Army for the same services as set forth herein pursuant to separate agreements directly with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter.

C. A “Shelter Bed” is defined as an occupancy placement within a crisis housing bed or a bridge housing bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter located at 5600 Rickenbacker Rd, Bell, CA 9020, for a single adult (age 18 or over) participant referred into a program of comprehensive homeless support services within such shelter. Depending on the service needs of the particular unhoused individual, initial placement may occur in a crisis housing bed that is operated with a low barrier design or in a bridge housing bed. Both crisis and bridge housing beds are intended provide a safe and supportive twenty-four (24) hour residence to individuals experiencing homelessness while enabling assistance for them to obtain permanent housing. A low barrier design program is one in which no participant that is placed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter shall be required to commit to sobriety, or to commit to an adherence to medications for physical or mental health conditions. Low barrier crisis housing beds are expected to be provided at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in Building 1E. Bridge housing beds are expected to be provided at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter sober living dormitories in Building 2A/B for participants who prefer to live in a more stable environment. The Attachment A Page 171 of 320
01135.0001/536707.2 -2-
number of beds provided in each housing type will be flexible to accommodate the shifting needs of the participants at any time.

D. It is expected that a number of participants entering the pilot program will have significant barriers to employment and housing. The Parties expect that there will be an on-site Salvation Army Bell Shelter employee who will provide group and individual psychotherapy for participants who need an advanced level of support and are open to engaging in behavioral health services.

E. Client level data for this pilot program will be entered into the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (“LAHSA”) Homeless Management Information System (“HMIS”). HMIS collects participant demographic data, as well as program and service utilization data for auditing, reporting, and to facilitate participant transfer and coordination among available regional homeless services programs.

F. The LCA1 Members currently participate in the Los Angeles County Coordinated Entry System (“County CES”), which provides for placements of individuals experiencing homelessness within occupiable shelter beds in Los Angeles County.

Due to the high demand for shelter beds within Los Angeles County, a shelter bed may not be immediately available to address the needs of the local unhoused population in the Southeast Los Angeles County subregion. Thus, the City of Bell has negotiated an agreement with The Salvation Army to procure the prioritized use of thirty-six (36) shelter beds for the eight (8) participating LCA1 Members, in recognition of the local impacts of homelessness experienced by the LCA1 Members.

G. The LCA1 Members, have collectively designated the City of Bell as the lead agency to coordinate the implementation of the pilot program proposed by this Agreement for the placement of homeless individuals within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in an effort to address the unhoused population that the LCA1 Members seek to assist.

H. This pilot program will require a great deal of cooperation among the LCA1 Members in order to enable the efficient placement of homeless individuals currently to a Shelter Bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter.

I. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter, one of the largest shelters in the nation, is located within the City of Bell in the Southeast Los Angeles County subregion and accepts placements from throughout the Los Angeles County area through the County CES.

The Shelter Beds are contracted by various governmental and nonprofit entities, and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, in recognition of the homeless housing impacts experienced by the LCA1 Members, has agreed to contract with the City of Bell for thirty-six (36) prioritized Shelter Beds to be allocated to the LCA1 Members’ homeless population, based on certain conditions.

Page 172 of 320 ends

01135.0001/536707.2 -3-
J. The City of Bell will take the lead on behalf of the LCA1 Members plus the County to coordinate the prioritized use of forty-two (42) Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Shelter through a Homeless Liaison (as such term is defined below), which shall be a designated staff member selected by the City of Bell to implement the pilot program under this Agreement that is separately funded by a Measure H Innovation Fund Grant reimbursement through the Gateway Cities Council of Governments.

K. To this end, the City of Bell and The Salvation Army, a California corporation (“Salvation Army”) have entered into an agreement, dated March ____, 2022, as set forth in Exhibit A (the “Salvation Army Agreement”), whereby the City of Bell, has acquired the prioritized right for thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, and additional supportive services to serve the LCA1 Members’ homeless housing population.

L. Separately, the City of Bell, as lead agency, applied for and received a $500,000 Measure H Innovation Fund Grant (“Measure H Grant”) from the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, which reduces the total cost of this pilot program to the eight (8) LCA1 Members. With Measure H Grant funds, the total estimated cost of the Salvation Army Agreement to the eight (8) participating LCA1 Members would be reduced by fifty percent (50%) from $999,324 to $499,324. In return for the Measure H Grant award, the LCA1 Members agree that if the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds cannot be filled by the LCA1 Members, open placements will be made available to other SPA 7 communities with pre-approval of the designated Homeless Liaison. The total number of SPA 7 placements from outside of the eight (8) LCA1 Members may not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds, which is eighteen (18) out of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds at any one time. Placements will not be available to other SPA 7 communities through this Agreement until Shelter Bed occupancy drops below ninety percent (90%) occupancy, or thirty-three (33) of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds.

M. The City of Bell shall appoint an individual to serve as a liaison to all LCA1 Members and the County (the “Homeless Liaison”), and shall work with the participating LCA1 Members and the County to coordinate the use of the prioritized Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter in addition to any other beds that are made available through the County CES.

N. The Shelter Beds are designed to provide the LCA1 Members with an additional inventory of homeless shelter beds to address the significant impacts of homelessness the LCA1 Members are experiencing. If any individuals choose to leave a placement at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, either of their own volition or for violating the rules and policies of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, they will add to the unhoused population in the communities of the Southeast Los Angeles subregion. Thus, the pilot program proposed by the LCA1 Members is designed to provide an enhanced level of support, resources, and communication in order to ensure any placement of individuals within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter remain for as long as reasonably possible.

Page 173 of 320 ends

01135.0001/536707.2 -4-
O. The LCA1 Members agree that the costs of this Agreement will be shared equally among all of the LCA1 Members and they shall be required to pay their equal share each month during the term of this Agreement. If a LCA1 Member chooses to withdraw from this Agreement, other cities within the SPA 7 area may be added to this Agreement with priority provided to communities closest to the Salvation Army Bell Shelter (which addition may require an amendment or supplement to this Agreement as determined by the City of Bell). The intent of the LCA1 Members is to retain a minimum of eight (8) participating entities, in order to ensure, i) that the cost of this Agreement is not prohibitive for any one member and, ii) that the Shelter Beds remain ninety percent (90%) occupied during the term of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are hereby acknowledged and agreed to by the Parties and are incorporated in the terms of this Agreement. Specifically, the City of Bell is acknowledged and agreed to as the lead agency, and its appointed Homeless Liaison is acknowledged and agreed to, for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2. Term; Termination.
(a) The term of this Agreement will commence on March 1, 2022 and end on June 30, 2023 (the “Term”) for a total of 487 days.
(b) In addition, this Agreement may be terminated after June 30, 2022, (i) at the convenience of any LCA1 Member following thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City of Bell, and/or (ii) upon a termination of the Salvation Army Agreement by the Salvation Army or the City of Bell pursuant to the terms of the Salvation Army Agreement.

The City of Bell, as lead agency, may replace any party that terminates this Agreement with another city within the SPA7 area that executes an acknowledgement and acceptance of the terms of this Agreement (which, at the City of Bell’s discretion, may require an amendment to this Agreement).
(c) In the event of any termination by a LCA1 Member after June 30, 2022, and a replacement SPA 7 city is not immediately available to take such terminating Party’s share of the costs/payments required herein, then the equitable share of costs for this Agreement (along with the allocation of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds for all LCA1 Members) provided in Section 3 below shall be adjusted accordingly.

Section 3. Cost and Payment. It is agreed and acknowledged that the Parties will share the costs of this pilot program equally, and that, regardless of any ability of the City of Bell, the Homeless Liaison, and / or the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to actually enable the utilization of any Shelter Bed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for any LCA1 Member’s homeless population, each LCA1 Member shall be required to pay the monthly

Page 174 of 320 ends

01135.0001/536707.2 -5-
amount due under this Agreement on the first day of each month of the Term of this Agreement to the City of Bell in order for the City of Bell to pay any and all monthly invoices received from the Salvation Army without delay. If the invoice received by the City of Bell from the Salvation Army for the use of the Shelter Beds in any given month is less than the amount collectively paid by the LCA1 Members for such month, then the City of Bell shall promptly refund any such overcharge to each of the LCA1 Members on an equal basis.

As the City of Bell, as lead agency, was successful in procuring $500,000 in Measure H Grant funds from the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, the total cost for each of the Parties (as set forth below) is proportionally reduced during the term of the Measure H Grant fund term.

Total Agreement Cost
The total cost of the Salvation Army Agreement is $999,324 calculated at thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds per day at a cost of $57 per bed / per day for 487 days.

The City of Bell will invoice the Gateway Cities Council of Governments for $500,000 in Measure H Grant fund reimbursements, which would reduce the total cost of this Agreement to $499,324.

Los Angeles County First Supervisorial District will enter directly into a separate agreement with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for four (4) additional Shelter Beds at a cost of $117,420. Los Angeles County Fourth Supervisorial District will enter directly into a separate agreement with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for two (2) additional Shelter Beds at a cost of $58,710, to bring the total number of coordinated Shelter Beds in the Southeast Los Angeles subregion to forty-two (42) under this pilot program.

The eight (8) LCA1 Members will be invoiced monthly by the City of Bell for an equal one-eighth (1/8th) share. Each of the eight (8) LCA1 Members will be billed a maximum of $62,415.50 of the total Agreement of $499,324.

Monthly Invoice
The City of Bell, as lead agency, will submit the monthly invoice it receives from the Salvation Army pursuant to the Salvation Army Agreement, to each LCA1 Member upon five (5) business days of its receipt therefor, with, if applicable, backup documentation and related reports for the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds.

Section 4. Specifications. The availability and use of the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds allocated to each LCA1 Member shall be subject to the following specifications. In recognition of the complexity of the daily operations of the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, and the unknown personal, regional, and local factors which affect Shelter Bed availability, the Parties agree that a high level of communication, coordination, and flexibility is necessary to effectively use all available Shelter Beds, and to refrain from submitting Shelter Bed placements when inventory is not available. There is no guarantee that a Shelter Bed is available at any specific time, as the complex and shifting factors that affect

Page 175 of 320 ends

01135.0001/536707.2 -6-
Shelter Bed inventory are beyond the control of the City of Bell and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. The purpose of this pilot program is to increase coordination and communication on homelessness within the LCA1 subregion, to develop data at a subregional level, and to develop improved and effective partnerships on a subregional level with regional service providers and nonprofit entities. (a) Initial Use of Crisis Housing Bed Inventory. Upon the notice from the Salvation Army of availability of Shelter Beds within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, ten percent (10%) of the thirty-six (36) beds will be designated as public safety priority beds for emergency use by the public safety agencies of all LCA1 Members, for a total of four (4) beds. The remaining ninety percent (90%), or thirty-two (32) beds, will be prioritized as four (4) general inventory beds per each LCA1 Member. This distribution equals eight (8) LCA1 Members times four (4) beds each for a general inventory of thirtytwo (32) beds. Initial intake into a public safety priority bed shall also require participation from a public safety agency (e.g., Bell Police Department, Bell Gardens Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff, South Gate Police Department, Vernon Police Department, etc.). Once the new resident is placed in a public safety bed and completes the facility intake process, they will be rotated from the priority public safety bed into one of the thirtytwo (32) general beds, if a general bed is available. If the LCA1 Members cannot fill the Shelter Bed inventory, and the Shelter Bed occupancy drops below ninety percent (90%), the Homeless Liaison may refer participants from non LCA1 Member SPA 7 cities to ensure that the Shelter Bed inventory is used efficiently up to a maximum of eighteen (18) non LCA1 Member SPA 7 placements at any one time. The LCA1 Members shall use best efforts to efficiently and effectively coordinate the shared use of available Shelter Beds to maintain ninety percent (90%) occupancy and meet their specific local needs depending on bed availability. The Salvation Army has agreed, pursuant to the Salvation Army Agreement to coordinate in good faith to plan transfers of homeless individuals to other available support programs, based on participant eligibility (i.e., Veteran’s Administration program shelter beds, Department of Mental Health program shelter beds, Substance Abuse Prevention and Control program shelter beds) to increase the annual number of participants that can benefit from the forty (40) prioritized Shelter Beds under the Salvation Army Agreement. The LCA1 Members acknowledge and agree that the thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds are not actually reserved or dedicated to the LCA1 Members’ homeless population, but are merely prioritized to them under the Salvation Army Agreement. Each day there shall be an analysis of the occupancy of Shelter Beds and allocations will be made available to each of the LCA1 Members through the Homeless Liaison in coordination with the LCA1 Members. As such, the effectiveness of this pilot program requires cooperation and consistent communication between the LCA1 Members and the Homeless Liaison, given the fluidity of available bed occupancy (and the rotation in and out of such beds by homeless individuals).
(b) Recalculation of Crisis Housing Bed Inventory. In order to ensure the full and efficient use of the thirty-six (36) prioritized Shelter Beds, cooperation and communication between the Parties is essential. Informal analysis and recalculation of Shelter Bed use ratios shall occur every week day during the Term of this Agreement, and as needed, to use the available Shelter Beds efficiently. An initial thirty (30) day use analysis will be provided to the LCA1 Members by the City of Bell and/or the Homeless

Page 176 of 320 ends

01135.0001/536707.2 -7-
Liaison after the Effective Date and a secondary sixty (60) day use analysis will be provided to the LCA1 Members, in order to determine and agree to the most efficient bed use ratios. Thereafter, quarterly reviews will occur to determine the efficient use of the Shelter Beds, and the effectiveness of this pilot program and how it could be improved.

Shelter Bed inventory flexibility is critical in order to effectively address conditions in the field (given the fact that individuals placed within the Salvation Army Bell Shelter will likely be rotating in and out frequently) and in order to assess the success of program participants in receiving housing placement. As this program is a pilot program and requires participant flexibility, all Parties will designate a public safety contact and a staff contact for the Homeless Liaison to coordinate activities and improve communication, each of which are designated on the signature page for each of the Parties below. (c) Shelter Bed Availability Limitations. If the Salvation Army Bell Shelter is experiencing COVID-19 quarantine limits or holds on resident intake upon the execution of the Salvation Army Agreement, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter will not initiate invoicing for Shelter Beds until the beds are available. Limitations on Shelter Bed availability may exist depending on the number of available Shelter Beds in the Salvation Army Bell Shelter’s daily inventory. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter does not provide family shelter resources; thus LCA1 Members must coordinate placement of any such families to other shelters through the Homeless Liaison during business hours or call 211 (www.211la.org) to find suitable shelter or motel options for families in need. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter does not provide a kennel to shelter the pets of unhoused individuals in need. The thirty-six (36) Shelter Beds addressed in this Agreement are merely a supplement to the shelter beds available through the County CES. (d) Intake. New resident intake shall occur during regular business hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter provides 24 hour a day, seven day a week staffing, however the shelter has an inventory of four (4) safe rooms for intake and staff are required to perform COVID-19 protocols upon intake that limit the ability of the shelter to perform intake outside of regular business hours.

After hours domestic violence and/or other emergency placements are subject to the availability of an unoccupied safe room at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. Emergency intake is available after hours, however due to a limited number of available safe rooms and due to COVID-19 protocols, after hours intake should only be for emergency situations. An after-hours call line that operates 24 hours a day will be provided to participating public safety agencies for use in the event of an after-hours emergency. (e) Length of Stay. Each participant will be limited to an initial stay of ninety (90) days. Two (90) day extensions are available upon request for participants actively working on a housing plan, for a maximum stay of 270 days for any individual participant.
(f) COVID-19 Protocols and Processes. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter restarted limited intake of residents into quarantine facilities on August 19, 2021. COVID19 protocols for intake include but are not limited to, i) any incoming participant is tested on the day of or on the day after intake regardless of vaccine status, ii) if an incoming participant is vaccinated, the participant may move into a public safety prioritized bed. If

Page 177 of 320 ends

01135.0001/536707.2 -8-
a participant is not vaccinated, they must remain in quarantine until two negative COVID19 tests are received.

The Homeless Liaison will coordinate daily with designated Salvation Army Bell Shelter staff to determine how many residents can be transferred to general bed inventory or to other programs to maximize Shelter Bed use.

STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Brenda Rodriguez, Administrative Services Director
Subject: Consideration of Approval of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Cudahy Amending Section 10.04.040 of Chapter 10.04 (Traffic Code) of Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Cudahy Municipal Code

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Ordinance by a simple majority vote and direct staff to bring the proposed Ordinance before the Council for a second reading at the next regular City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND

1. On January 1, 2015, the City of Cudahy (the “City”) initiated its Overnight Pilot Parking Program (the “Program”) to allow permitted overnight on-street parking in designated parking areas.

2. On June 31, 2015, the City Council approved an extension of the Program for an additional year and has done so for each subsequent year thereafter.

3. On January 22, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 671, amending Section

10.04.40 of Chapter 10.04 (Traffic Code) of Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Cudahy Municipal Code amending section 10.04.040 to prohibit parking between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on Mondays and 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Tuesdays through Sundays

ANALYSIS
The City Council seeks to amend its restricted overnight parking hours to align with the current Item Number
16B

Page 185 of 320 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
04/19/2022 Page 2 of 3
street sweeping hours and address many parking issues that residents have. The proposed amendment will now allow overnight street parking on Mondays. If approved, City staff will also update current signs and add more signs throughout the City to reflect the new changes.

This Ordinance is necessary before a resolution for the Overnight Parking Program can be approved. The current overnight parking program expires June 30, 2022, and a resolution must be in place for residents to be able to purchase a permit for fiscal year 22-23.

Municipal Code Section 10.04.040 currently prohibits parking between 12:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on Mondays, and 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday. This was intended to allow for efficient, unimpeded street sweeping on Mondays. However, in 2018 residential street sweeping service days were modified throughout the entire city, impeding residents from park on any street in Cudahy on Mondays between 12am-6am. In 2020, street sweeping service days and hours were modified to its current schedule of Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on alternating sides of the street and arterials and medians are swept on Mondays and Thursdays from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.

The proposed Ordinance would amend Municipal Code Section 10.04.040 to prohibit parking between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Friday and Saturday. This restriction would not apply to vehicles that display an authorized overnight parking permit.

Furthermore, parking on Atlantic Ave will not be allowed at any time between Florence Avenue and Salt Lake Avenue.

Additionally, the proposed amendment will also add a section, prohibiting vehicles that exceed 6,000 pounds in gross unladen weight, except a vehicle which is subject to the provisions of Section 1031 through 1036 of the California Public Utilities Code, from being parked or idle on the following streets:
(a) Cecelia Street from Atlantic Avenue to Wilcox Avenue; (b) Patata Street from Salt Lake Avenue to Wilcox Avenue; (c) Ardine Street from Salt Lake Avenue to Atlantic Avenue; (d) Wilcox Avenue from Cecelia Street to Patata Street; and (e) Salt Lake Ave from Olive Street to Patata Street
Upon approval of this Ordinance, City staff will arrange for conforming street signage to reflect such adjustments to restricted overnight parking hours.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

Page 186 of 320 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
04/19/2022 Page 3 of 3
The adoption of the proposed Ordinance will have no significant financial impact. The $25,000 cost of signage will have no significant financial impact on the City, as allocation for street signage is in the budget for FY 21-22.

CONCLUSION
City staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed Ordinance by a simple majority vote and direct staff to bring the proposed Ordinance before the Council for a second reading at the next regular City Council meeting.

9. Program Overview, Objectives, and Priorities
Overview
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is one of three grant programs that constitute the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) focus on enhancing the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as nonprofits, to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the Nation’s communities against potential terrorist attacks. Among the five basic homeland security missions noted in the DHS Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, HSGP supports the goal to Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience. In FY 2020, there are three components of HSGP:
1) State Homeland Security Program (SHSP): SHSP assists state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.
2) Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI): UASI assists high-threat, high-density Urban Areas efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.
3) Operation Stonegarden (OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to improve overall border security. OPSG provides funding to support joint efforts to secure the United States’ borders along routes of ingress/egress to and from international borders, to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada as well as states and territories with international water borders. State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement agencies utilize their inherent law enforcement authorities to support the border security mission and do not receive any additional authority as a result of participation in OPSG.

The 2018-2022 FEMA Strategic Plan creates a shared vision for reducing the risks posed by terrorism and sets an ambitious, yet achievable, path forward to unify and further professionalize emergency management across the country. HSGP supports the goals of Building a Culture of Preparedness and Readying the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters. We invite our stakeholders and partners to also adopt these priorities and join us in building a more prepared and resilient Nation, as preparedness is a shared responsibility and funding should support priorities that are most impactful and demonstrate the greatest return on investment.

Finally, for FY 2020, DHS is focused on the criticality of information sharing and collaboration to building a national culture of preparedness and protecting against terrorism and other emerging threats to our national security. DHS and its homeland security mission were born from the “failures among federal agencies and between the federal agencies and state and local authorities to share critical information related to the threat of terrorism” prior to the September 11, 2001, attacks.1 The threat profile has changed in the last two decades – we now face continuous cyber threats by sophisticated actors, threats to soft targets and crowded places, threats to our democratic election 1 Homeland Security Act of 2002: Report Together with Minority and Dissenting Views 222, Select Committee on Homeland Security: 107th Congress, U.S. House of Representatives (2002) (H. Rpt. 107-609).

process and threats from new and emerging technologies. But information sharing and cooperation between state, local, and tribal authorities and federal agencies, including all DHS officials, is just as vital, and perhaps even more vital, today. Therefore, for FY 2020, we have identified four priority areas, tied to some of the most serious threats that DHS would like to see addressed by state and local governments, that recipients will need to address with their HSGP funds. Perhaps most importantly, we will be focused on forging partnerships to strengthen information sharing and collaboration in each of these priority areas and looking for recipients to remove barriers to communication and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies.

Objectives
The objective of the FY 2020 HSGP is to fund state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to prevent terrorism and prepare the Nation for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States.

Priorities
Given the evolving threat landscape, it is incumbent upon DHS/FEMA to continuously evaluate the national risk profile and set priorities that help ensure appropriate allocation of scarce security dollars. In assessing the national risk profile for FY 2020, four priority areas attract the most concern.

And due to the unique threats that the nation faces in 2020, DHS/FEMA has determined that these four priorities should be addressed by allocating specific percentages of HSGP funds to each of these four areas, for a total of 20 percent. The following are the four priority areas for FY 2020, along with the corresponding amount of HSGP funds that each recipient will be required to propose for each priority area in order to obtain a full allocation of HSGP funds:
1) Enhancing cybersecurity (including election security) – 5 percent 2) Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places (including election security) – 5 percent;
3) Enhancing information and intelligence sharing and cooperation with federal agencies, including DHS – 5 percent;
4) Addressing emergent threats (e.g., unmanned aerial systems [UASs], etc.) – 5 percent.

Failure by a recipient to propose investments and projects that align with these four priority areas and spending requirements may result in a recipient receiving a reduced grant award. DHS/FEMA may not award funding in excess of a recipient’s minimum allocation threshold2 to the extent that investments and projects do not align with these four priority areas.

A State or high-risk urban area may allocate the remaining 80 percent to gaps identified through their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) Process.

Likewise, there are several enduring security needs that crosscut the homeland security enterprise, and to which that States should consider allocating funding across core capability gaps and national 2 The Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, allocates for each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico

0.35 percent of the total funds appropriated for grants under section 2003 and section 2004 of the Act, and 0.08 percent for each of the four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

priorities. The following are enduring needs that help recipients implement a comprehensive approach to securing communities:
1) Effective planning;
2) Training and awareness campaigns;
3) Equipment and capital projects; and
4) Exercises.

The table below provides a breakdown of the FY 2020 SHSP and UASI priorities (the focus of OPSG remains unique to border security), showing the core capabilities enhanced and lifelines supported, as well as examples of eligible project types for each area. A detailed description of allowable investments for each project type is included in the Preparedness Grants Manual. DHS/FEMA anticipate that in future years, national priorities will continue to be included and will be updated as the threats evolve and as capability gaps are closed. Applicants are strongly encouraged to begin planning to sustain existing capabilities through other funding mechanisms.

Starting in FY 2020, each SHSP and UASI recipient is required to submit an Investment Justification (IJ) for each of the four national priorities identified above. Under the Cybersecurity investment and the Soft Target/Crowded Places investments one project for each of those two investments must be to support enhancing election security. As a reminder, all SHSP- and UASI-funded projects must have a demonstrated nexus to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. However, such projects may simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for disasters unrelated to acts of terrorism.

DHS/FEMA also requires SHSP and UASI recipients (e.g., states, territories, and high-risk urban areas) to complete a THIRA/SPR and prioritize grant funding to support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities that address national priorities and/or support enduring needs. Additional information on the THIRA/SPR process, including other National Preparedness System (NPS) tools and resources, can be found at https://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-system. Detailed information on THIRA/SPR timelines and deadlines can be found in the Preparedness Grants Manual.

SHSP Allocations
For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award SHSP funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The following table identifies the targeted SHSP allocation ranges for each State based on DHS/FEMA’s relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. States are strongly encouraged to apply for funding at least 15% over the high end of their target allocation range as ineffective applications will not be funded. Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects.

Regardless of the amount of a State’s targeted SHSP allocation range, each State must include a separate investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section, above. The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the State’s targeted SHSP allocation in the table below. For the states that receive a target allocation in excess of the minimum, the percentage is calculated against the high end of the range, as displayed in the table below. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the State’s application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on whether the State has proposed investments in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectiveness review.

EXHIBIT FPage 257 of 320

Page 8 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
DHS/FEMA will allocate to each state and territory a minimum allocation under the SHSP using thresholds established in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. The minimum allocation for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is 0.35 percent of the total funds appropriated for grants under Section 2003 and Section 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. The minimum allocation for the four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) is 0.08 percent of the total funds appropriated for grants under Section 2003 and 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. THIRA/SPR results do not impact grant allocation or award.

Regardless of the final award amount, a state must invest SHSP funding in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than percentage identified above for each national priority area, as approved by DHS/FEMA.

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
UASI Allocations
Eligible candidates for the FY 2020 UASI program are identified in the table below. Eligibility has been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States, in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureau at https://www.census.gov/programssurveys/metro-micro.html. THIRA/SPR results do not impact grant allocation or award.

For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award UASI funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The following table identifies the targeted UASI allocations for each high-risk urban area based on DHS/FEMA’s relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for funding at least 15% over the high end of their target allocation range as ineffective applications will not be funded.

Final award amounts will be based on DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed investments and projects.

In its application, each high-risk urban area, through the State, must include a separate investment for each of the four national priority areas identified in the Priorities section, above.

The funding level in each national priority area investment must equal or exceed the percentage for that respective national priority area, calculated as a percentage of the high-risk urban area’s targeted UASI allocation in the table below. The percentage is calculated against the high end of the range, as displayed in the table below. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the high-risk urban area’s application as described in Section D, below. Final awards are based on whether the State has proposed investments in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than the percentage for that priority area and based on the effectivenessreview.

Regardless of the final award amount, a high-risk urban area must invest UASI funding in each of the four national priority areas in an amount equal to or greater than percentage identified above for each national priority area, as approved by DHS/FEMA.

OPSG Allocations
For FY 2020, DHS/FEMA will award OPSG funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The FY 2020 OPSG risk assessment is designed to identify the risk to border security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border and the effectiveness of the proposed projects. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies EXHIBIT FPage 260 of 320

Page 11 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
that are located along the border of the United States. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the State’s application as described in Section D, below. The THIRA/SPR process is not required for OPSG.

For the purposes of OPSG, the risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with an incident, event, or occurrence.

Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/CBP continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimates the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/CBP considers intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. For vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas.

Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/CBP.

Threat components present in each of the sectors are used to determine the overall threat score.

These components are terrorism, criminal aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and alien smuggling organizations.

Effectiveness of the proposed investments will be evaluated based on the recipient’s investment strategy, budget, collaboration, and past performance.

Period of Performance: 36 months
Extensions to the Period of Performance (PoP) are allowed. For additional information on PoP extensions, refer to the Preparedness Grants Manual.

C. Eligibility Information

1. Eligible Applicants
The State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity eligible to submit HSGP applications to DHS/FEMA, including those applications submitted on behalf of UASI and OPSG applicants. All 56 states and territories, including any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are eligible to apply for SHSP funds. Tribal governments may not apply directly for HSGP funding; however, funding may be available to tribes under the SHSP and OPSG through the SAA.

2. Eligibility Criteria
Eligible high-risk urban areas for the FY 2020 UASI program have been determined through EXHIBIT FPage 261 of 320

Page 12 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States. Subawards will be made by the SAAs to the designated high-risk urban areas.

In FY 2020, OPSG eligible subrecipients are local units of government at the county level or equivalent level of government and Federally recognized tribal governments in states bordering Canada or Mexico and states and territories with international water borders. All applicants must have active ongoing USBP operations coordinated through a CBP sector office to be eligible for OPSG funding.

In FY 2020, OPSG subrecipients eligible to apply for and receive a subaward directly from the SAAs are divided into three Tiers. Tier 1 entities are local units of government at the county level or equivalent and Federally recognized tribal governments that are on a physical border in states bordering Canada, states bordering Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. Tier 2 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 1 county.

Tier 3 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 2 eligible subrecipient. The tier structure is only applicable with regard to eligibility. OPSG funding allocations are based on the assessed border security risks as determined by the USBP.

3. Other Eligibility Criteria
National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Prior to allocation of any Federal preparedness awards in FY 2020, recipients must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. Detailed information on NIMS requirements are in the Preparedness Grants Manual.

Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Membership In support of the Goal, SHSP recipients must belong to, be in, or act as a temporary member of EMAC, except for American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to EMAC at this time. All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2020 HSGP funding must be readily deployable and NIMS-typed when possible to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities, such as Geographic/Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined under the Mitigation Mission Area of the Goal, and fusion centers.

Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) Per section 2006 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended (6 U.S.C. § 607), DHS/FEMA is required to ensure that at least 25 percent of grant funding appropriated for grants awarded under HSGP’s authorizing statute are used for law enforcement terrorism prevention activities. DHS/FEMA meets this requirement, in part, by requiring all recipients allocate at least 25 percent of the combined HSGP funds allocated under SHSP and UASI towards law enforcement terrorism prevention activities, as defined in 6 U.S.C. § 607. The LETPA allocation can be from SHSP, UASI, or both. The 25 percent LETPA allocation may be met by funding projects in any combination of the four national priority areas EXHIBIT FPage 262 of 320

Page 13 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
identified above and any other investments. And the 25 percent LETPA allocation is in addition to the 80 percent pass-through requirement to local units of government and tribes, referenced below.

The National Prevention Framework describes those activities that should be executed upon the discovery of intelligence or information regarding an imminent threat to the homeland, to thwart an initial or follow-on terrorist attack and provides guidance to ensure the Nation is prepared to prevent, avoid, or stop a threatened or actual act of terrorism. Activities outlined in the National Prevention Framework are eligible for use as LETPA-focused funds. Also, where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area, the National Protection Framework activities are also eligible. All other terrorism prevention activities proposed for funding under LETPA must be approved by the FEMA Administrator.

4. Cost Share or Match
There is no cost share or match requirement for the FY 2020 HSGP.

HSGP Specific Application Instructions
Development of the Investment Justification (SHSP and UASI) As part of the FY 2020 HSGP application process for SHSP and UASI funds, applicants must develop formal investment justifications (IJs) that address the proposed investments. Failure to fulfill of all of the terms contained in this section will be considered by DHS/FEMA in its evaluation of the effectiveness of the IJs in accordance with the Risk Methodology and Effectiveness Review described in the Application Review Information and may result in rejection of proposed investments or reduced funding allocations.

Each IJ must demonstrate how proposed investments:
• Support terrorism preparedness;
• Support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the community’s THIRA/SPR process; and
• Support the overcoming of existing logistical, technological, legal, policy, and other impediments to collaborating, networking, sharing information, cooperating, and fostering a culture of national preparedness with federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as other regional, and nonprofit partners in efforts to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism, to meet its target capabilities, support the national security mission of DHS and other federal agencies, and to otherwise reduce the overall risk to the high-risk urban area, the State, or the Nation.

EXHIBIT FPage 266 of 320

Page 17 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
Each IJ must explain how the proposed investments will support the applicant’s efforts to:
• Prevent a threatened or an actual act ofterrorism;
• Prepare for all hazards and threats, while explaining the nexus to terrorism preparedness; • Protect citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats and hazards, relating to acts of terrorism; and/or
• Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of an act of terrorism or other catastrophic incidents.

Development of Investments and Projects (SHSP)
• Applicants must propose at least four and may include up to ten investments. • Required national priority investment justifications must include the name of the priority in the investment name for easy identification.
• Within each investment in their IJ, applicants must propose at least one project to describe the activities they plan to implement with SHSP funds. There is no limit to the number of projects that may be submitted.
• Of the proposed SHSP-funded investments, one single project, within the required intelligence and information sharing investment, must be in support of a designated fusion center. Recipients must coordinate with the fusion center when developing a fusion center project prior to submission. See additional information on how to develop the fusion center projects below.
• Of the proposed SHSP-funded investments, one project in each of the required Cybersecurity and Soft Targets/Crowded Places investments must be in support of enhancing election security.
• All emergency communications investments must describe how such activities align with their Statewide Communication Interoperable Plan (SCIP). Recipients must coordinate with their Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC) and/or Statewide Interoperability Governance Body (SIGB) when developing an emergency communications investment prior to submission to ensure the project supports the statewide strategy to improve emergency communications and is compatible and interoperable with surrounding systems. The investment name must include the words “emergency communications” to easily identify any emergency communications investments.
• All requested funding must be associated with specific projects. For each project, several pieces of information must be provided to submit the project for consideration in the application, including the name of the project, the project description, the name of the subrecipient, if applicable, the recipient type (e.g., state or local), the project location (zip code of the primary location of the project), the primary core capability the project supports, whether the project activities are shareable and deployable, and which priority area (if any) the project is in support of. Projects should describe how the proposed investment supports closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process. Failure to fulfill of all of the terms contained in this section may be considered in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the IJs in accordance with the Risk Methodology and Effectiveness Review described in the Application Review Information and may result in rejection of proposed investments or reduced funding allocations. • FEMA encourages states to use any DHS provided assessments, such as those performed EXHIBIT FPage 267 of 320

Page 18 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
by DHS’s Protective Security Advisors and Cybersecurity Advisors, when developing their investment justifications.

Priority Investments (SHSP)
States are encouraged to review the Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence when developing investments.

Cybersecurity Investment Justification (5 percent)
At least one investment must be in support of the state’s cybersecurity efforts. The investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for cybersecurity, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Cybersecurity investments must support the security and functioning of critical infrastructure and core capabilities as they relate to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism. Recipients and subrecipients of FY 2020 HSGP grant awards will be required to complete the 2020 Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR), enabling agencies to benchmark and measure progress of improving their cybersecurity posture. The CIO, CISO or equivalent for each recipient should complete the NCSR. If there is no CIO or CISO, the most senior cybersecurity professional should complete the assessment. The NCSR is available at no cost to the user and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete. The 2020 NCSR will be open from October – December 2020.
• The NCSR is an annual requirement for recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds.

Additionally, FEMA recognizes that some subawards will not be issued until after the NCSR has closed. In such cases, such subrecipients will be required to complete the first available NCSR offered after the subaward has been issued by the pass-through entity. • Although not required by SLTTs that did not receive HSGP funds, all SLTT agencies with preparedness responsibilities are highly encouraged to participate and complete the NCSR to evaluate their cybersecurity posture. For detailed information and background on the NCSR, please see Information Bulletin 439.

In January 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated the infrastructure used to administer the Nation’s elections as critical infrastructure. This designation recognizes that the United States’ election infrastructure is of such vital importance to the American way of life that its incapacitation or destruction would have a devastating effect on the country. Securing election infrastructure and ensuring an election free from foreign interference are national security priorities. Threats to election systems are constantly evolving, so defending these systems requires constant vigilance, innovation, and adaptation.

Given the importance of the Nation’s election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

EXHIBIT FPage 268 of 320

Page 19 of 41 ends

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
Soft Target Investment Justification (5 percent)
Soft targets and crowded places are increasingly appealing to terrorists and other extremist actors because of their relative accessibility and the large number of potential targets. This challenge is complicated by the prevalent use of simple tactics and less sophisticated attacks. Segments of our society are inherently open to the general public, and by nature of their purpose do not incorporate strict security measures. Given the increased emphasis by terrorists and other extremist actors to leverage less sophisticated methods to inflict harm in public areas, it is vital that the public and private sectors collaborate to enhance security of locations such as transportation centers, parks, restaurants, shopping centers, special event venues, and similar facilities.

Given the increased risk to soft targets and crowded places, at least one investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to protect soft targets/crowded places. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for soft targets/crowded places and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding securing soft targets and crowded places are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. States are encouraged to engaged DHS’ Protective Security Advisors’ security assessments of soft targets to ensure that recommendations from those assessments are taken into consideration when allocating grant funding.

As noted above, given the importance of the Nation’s election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Information Sharing and Cooperation Investment Justification (5 percent) Effective homeland security operations rely on timely information sharing and actionable intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States. Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration, analysis, and information sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection against, and responding to acts of terrorism.

Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security solutions, at least one investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. As noted above, this requirement must include at least one dedicated fusion center project. Additional instructions on development of the fusion center project can be found below. Applicants must justify persuasively how they EXHIBIT FPage 269 of 320

will contribute to the information sharing and collaboration purposes of the investment and a culture of national preparedness, including how they will identify, address, and overcome any existing laws, policies, and practices that prevent information sharing. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for information sharing and cooperation with DHS, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are available through the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

Emerging Threats Investment Justification (5 percent)
The spread of rapidly evolving and innovative technology, equipment, techniques, and knowledge presents new and emerging dangers for homeland security in the years ahead.

Terrorists remain intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, and rogue nations and non-state actors are aggressively working to develop, acquire, and modernize WMDs that they could use against the Homeland. Meanwhile, biological and chemical materials and technologies with dual use capabilities are more accessible throughout the global market.

Due to the proliferation of such information and technologies, rogue nations and no-state actors have more opportunities to develop, acquire, and use WMDs than ever before. Similarly, the proliferation of unmanned aircraft systems, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology increase opportunities of threat actors to acquire and use these capabilities against the United States and its interests.

Given the increased risk of emerging threats, at least one investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to address emerging threats. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for emerging threats, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of SHSP funds. Additional resources and information regarding emerging threats are available through the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Development of Investments and Projects (UASI)
• Applicants must propose at least four and may include up to ten investments. • Within each investment in their IJ, Urban Areas must propose at least one project to describe the activities they are planning to implement with UASI funds.

All emergency communications investments must describe how such activities align with their Statewide Communication Interoperable Plan (SCIP). Recipients must coordinate with their Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC) and/or Statewide Interoperability Governance Body (SIGB) when developing an emergency communications investment prior to submission to ensure the project supports the statewide strategy to improve emergency communications and is compatible and interoperable with surrounding systems. The investment name must include the words “emergency communications” to easily identify any emergency communications investments.

All requested funding must be associated with specific projects. For each project, several pieces of information must be provided to submit the project for consideration in the application, including the name of the project, the project description, the name of the subrecipient, if applicable, the recipient type (e.g., state or local), the project location (zip code of the primary location of the project), the primary core capability the project supports, whether the project activities are shareable and deployable, and which priority area (if any) the project is in support of. Projects should describe how the proposed investment supports closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPRprocess Priority Investments - UASI
High-risk urban areas are encouraged to review the Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence when developing investments.

Cybersecurity Investment Justification (5 percent)
At least one investment must be in support of the urban area’s cybersecurity efforts. The investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for cybersecurity, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of UASI and SHSP funds. Cybersecurity investments must support the security and functioning of critical infrastructure and core capabilities as they relate to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism. Recipients and subrecipients of FY 2020 HSGP awards will be required to complete the 2020 Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR), enabling agencies to benchmark and measure progress of improving their cybersecurity posture. The CIO, CISO or equivalent for each recipient should complete the NCSR. If there is no CIO or CISO, the most senior cybersecurity professional should complete the assessment. The NCSR is available at no cost to the user and takes approximately 2- 3 hours to complete. The 2020 NCSR will be open from October – December 2020.
• The NCSR is an annual requirement for recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds.

Additionally, FEMA recognizes that some subawards will not be issued until after the NCSR has closed. In such cases, such subrecipients will be required to complete the first available NCSR offered after the subaward has been issued by the pass-through entity. • Although not required by SLTTs that did not receive HSGP funds, all SLTT agencies with preparedness responsibilities are highly encouraged to participate and complete the NCSR to evaluate their cybersecurity posture. For detailed information and background on the NCSR, please see Information Bulletin 439.

In January 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated the infrastructure used to administer the Nation’s elections as critical infrastructure. This designation recognizes that the United States’ election infrastructure is of such vital importance to the American way of life that its incapacitation or destruction would have a devastating effect on the country. Securing election infrastructure and ensuring an election free from foreign interference are national security priorities. Threats to election systems are constantly evolving, so defending these systems requires constant vigilance, innovation, and adaptation.

Given the importance of the Nation’s election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Soft Target Investment Justification (5 percent)
Soft targets and crowded places are increasingly appealing to terrorists and other extremist actors because of their relative accessibility and the large number of potential targets. This challenge is complicated by the prevalent use of simple tactics and less sophisticated attacks. Segments of our society are inherently open to the general public, and by nature of their purpose do not incorporate strict security measures. Given the increased emphasis by terrorists and other extremist actors to leverage less sophisticated methods to inflict harm in public areas, it is vital that the public and private sectors collaborate to enhance security of locations such as transportation centers, parks, restaurants, shopping centers, special event venues, and similar facilities.

Given the increased risk to soft targets and crowded places, at least one investment must be in support of the urban area’s efforts to protect soft targets/crowded places. Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for soft targets/crowded places and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of UASI funds. Additional resources and information regarding securing soft targets and crowded places are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

As noted above, given the importance of the Nation’s election infrastructure, and the multiple and evolving threats to that infrastructure, at least one project within this investment must be in support of the state’s efforts to enhance election security. Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Information Sharing and Cooperation Investment Justification (5 percent) Effective homeland security operations rely on timely information sharing and actionable intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States. Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration, analysis, and information sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areasis EXHIBIT FPage 272 of 320

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection against, and responding to acts of terrorism.

Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security solutions, at least one investment must be in support of the urban area’s efforts to enhance information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. As noted above, this requirement must include at least one dedicated fusion center project. Additional instructions on development of the fusion center project can be found below. Applicants must justify persuasively how they will contribute to the information sharing and collaboration purposes of the investment and a culture of national preparedness, including how they will identify, address, and overcome any existing laws, policies, and practices that prevent information sharing.

Additionally, the proposed investment must meet or exceed the FY 2020 national priority percentage for information sharing and cooperation with DHS, and will also be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments, in order to receive a full allocation of UASI funds. Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are available through the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

FY 2020 HSGP NOFO
the local USBP sector office, the SAA and the local unit of government. Requests for funding in CONOPs/Applications must be based on risks and the operational enforcement support requirements of its corresponding USBP Sector, as well as the national priorities identified below. USBP Sector offices will forward the CONOPs to USBP Headquarters for vetting and coordination. Applicants will forward corresponding OPSG Applications to the SAA for submission to FEMA. USBP Headquarters will reconcile all submitted CONOPs with the OPSG Applications. FEMA will review and evaluate all CONOPs and OPSG Applications and funding will be allocated based on the review and selection criteria identified in this NOFO.

OPSG Applicants will be required to clearly articulate and identify how the CONOPs will address the national priorities identified below.

Information Sharing and Cooperation
Effective border security operations rely on timely information sharing and actionable intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States. Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration, analysis, and information sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private sector partners. Cooperation and information sharing among state, federal, and local partners across all areas of the homeland security enterprise, including counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration enforcement, and other areas is critical to homeland security operations and the prevention of, preparation for, protection against, and responding to acts of terrorism.

Given the importance of information sharing and collaboration to effective homeland security solutions, the CONOP must be in support of the recipient’s efforts to enhance information sharing and cooperation with DHS and other federal agencies. Applicants must justify persuasively how they will contribute to the information sharing and collaboration purposes of the OPSG program and a culture of national preparedness, including how they will identify, address, and overcome any existing laws, policies, and practices that prevent information sharing. Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are available through the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

14. Emergency Communications Investments
If an entity uses HSGP funding to support emergency communications investments, the following requirements shall apply to all such grant-funded communications investments in support of the emergency communications priorities and recognized best practices:
• Applicants must describe in the investment how proposed communications investments align to needs identified in their SCIP. Effective project alignment will require advance coordination with the SWIC and consultation with governing bodies such as the SIGB or Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC), as they serve as the primary steering group for the statewide interoperability strategy. Additionally, recipients should consult subject matter experts serving on governance bodies, such as broadband experts, chief information officers, representatives from utilities, or legal and financial experts, when developing proposals.
• The signatory authority for the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA their compliance with the SAFECOM Guidance. The certification letter should be coordinated with the SWIC for each state and must be uploaded to ND Grants at the time of the first Program Performance Report (PPR) submission. • All states and territories must designate a full-time SWIC who has the authority and resources to actively improve interoperability with emergency management and response agencies across all levels of government, to include establishing statewide plans, policies, and procedures, and coordinating decisions on communications investments funded through Federal grants. Note that the designated full-time SWIC may also be the state’s or territory’s cybersecurity point of contact. SWIC status information will be maintained by the DHS Office of Emergency Communications and will be verified by FEMA GPD through programmatic monitoring activities. • By the period of performance end date, all states and territories must update the SCIP, with a focus on communications resilience/continuity, to include assessment and EXHIBIT FPage 276 of 320

Page 27 of 41 ends
