AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: April 19, 2022
Department: Police Department
Prepared by: Steven Shaw, Deputy Police Chief
Subject: Military Equipment Use Policy Ordinance Per Assembly Bill 481 RECOMMENDATION:
1) Staff Report;
2) Entertain questions of Staff from the City Council;
3) Open the Public Hearing;
4) Take public testimony;
5) Close the Public Hearing;
6) City Council discussion and questions to Staff; and
7) Introduce for First Reading and read by title only, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, adopting a military equipment policy pursuant to Assembly Bill 481." BACKGROUND:

Due to recent events in our nation, the public has asked state and local leaders to enact law enforcement reforms and set statewide standards for safe de-escalation techniques. On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), which became effective on January 1, 2022. The law requires law enforcement agencies to create a Military Equipment Use Policy which must be adopted by the City Council before May 1, 2022.

DISCUSSION:

On April 5, 2022 the City Council reviewed the attached Ordinance. Pursuant to AB 481, the City Council must now conduct the Public Hearing related to the attached Ordinance.

AB481 identifies certain law enforcement equipment as 'military equipment' whether or not any branch of the military uses any of the law enforcement equipment listed. The legislation requires oversight from the governing body for purchase and usage of what the bill has deemed military equipment.

The purpose of this ordinance is to seek approval and support from the City Council for the continued use and deployment of specialized law enforcement equipment consistent with the Use Policy of the Desert Hot Springs Police Department. The City Council will find the Use Policy will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. The Use Policy included in the Ordinance establishes an on-going standard and policy for safe de-escalation techniques and military equipment use/application consistent with AB481. The ordinance and an annual military equipment report will be submitted to the City Council for annual review.

Page 7 of 181 ends

SR-22-089
The list of identified 'military equipment' is currently deployed by law enforcement and agencies in this county as well as neighboring San Bernardino, San Diego, and Orange Counties, and throughout the State of California, as well as law enforcement organizations across the nation. AB481 lists equipment that is recognized and more appropriately identified by local, state, and federal law enforcement entities as specialized police equipment. Locally, the Association of Riverside County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff (ARCCOPS) have endorsed the list of specialized equipment which is already in use across the County.

Specialized police equipment is used only by highly trained and experienced law enforcement professionals. This specialized law enforcement equipment, which is already in use by law enforcement agencies throughout the county, helps limit high-risk encounters with armed violent suspects. This specialized equipment is needed to stop escalating violent situations from becoming a threat to the safety of responding law enforcement personnel, the public, and the involved suspect(s). This inventory list includes modernized tools, aerial drones, and off-road vehicles whose primary purpose is the preservation of human life when utilized in responding to critical incidents, which often involve high-risk apprehension, search and rescue, fast responses to catastrophic events, reduce liability of physical injury to public and department personnel, and allow for de-escalation tactics during high-risk encounters with armed violent suspects.

The Desert Hot Springs Police Department and the county's eleven (11) other municipal police departments, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Riverside County Probation Department, Riverside County District Attorney's Office, Riverside California Highway Patrol, three (3) university and school police departments, and members of the Association of Riverside County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff (ARCOOPS), have committed to working cooperatively across jurisdictional boundaries to ensure that all catastrophic events, responses to critical incidents, search and rescue operations and many other multi-jurisdictional events that arise from neighboring counties are supported safely and justifiably. Any which require the use of any of the listed specialized equipment are conducted in a fair, transparent and professional manner. Although most tools, equipment, and resources listed as military equipment in AB481 are found in a military environment and may be similar in nature, the application in which the equipment is used is significantly different for public safety and law enforcement. Attached in the agenda packet you will find a list of the specialized equipment definitions and an inventory list for the Police Department.

Pursuant to AB481 the City Council may approve the acquisition and use of military equipment if it determines all of the following:
a. The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety;
b. The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties;
c. If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost effective as compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and d. Prior military equipment use by the US Military is consistent with the military equipment use policy of the local law enforcement; or, if not consistent, the local law enforcement agency has taken corrective action to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.

Background
On September 30, 2021, California Gov. Gavin Newsom
signed Assembly Bill 481, which became effective January 1, 2022.

AB 481 identifies certain specialized law enforcement
equipment as ‘military equipment’ and requires oversight from the City Council for purchase and use of what the bill has deemed ‘military equipment.’
The law requires the police department to create a Use
Policy that has been adopted by the City Council after
holding a public meeting to seek the public’s input.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: April 19, 2022
Department: City Manager
Prepared by: Daniel Porras, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Resolution Setting the Date and Place for a Public Hearing on the Solid Waste Fee Increase in Accordance With Proposition 218
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, setting the time and place for a Public Hearing on the Solid Waste Fee Increase in amounts as provided in Exhibit A, pursuant to the Nexus Study in Exhibit 1C; and directing Staff to proceed with implementation in accordance with Proposition 218.

BACKGROUND:

The attached Resolution sets a hearing date for a hearing in compliance with Proposition 218 to consider solid waste fee increases. The proposed fee increases to the solid waste fees are as follows:
1) New fee increases to comply with State-mandated organic waste collection services pursuant to regulations implementing Senate Bill 1383 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016); 2) New bulky item fees;
3) Increase in fees adjusted by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Area (CPI-U), January to January (collectively “Proposed Fee Increase”).

In accordance with Proposition 218, the City must follow procedures to increase solid waste fees. The Proposed Fee Increase is to recover costs.

DISCUSSION:

FEES RELATED TO SENATE BILL 1383
In September 2016, the State Legislature set Short-lived Climate Pollutants reduction targets for California in Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), as a statewide effort to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses (such as methane, a byproduct of organic waste) in an effort to combat climate change.

SB 1383 established statewide targets to reduce organic waste disposal to 50% by 2020 and to 75% by 2025. It also set a target to increase edible food recovery to 20% by 2025.

Page 79 of 181 ends

SR-22-092
As a result of SB 1383, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), developed regulations to achieve the State's organic waste diversion goals by 2025. In November 2020, CalRecycle released the final regulations for SB 1383. SB 1383 requires all businesses, residents, and multi-family apartments to have access to recycling programs that capture food scraps, landscaping waste, and other organic waste materials.

The SB 1383 Regulations require the following:
1) Residential - All residents are required to receive organic waste collection services. 2) Multifamily with five or more units – All are required to recycle their organic waste (under AB 1826, multi-family properties of five or more units were only required to recycle landscape debris). 3) Commercial - All commercial businesses generating two (2) or more cubic yards of solid organic waste per week, are required to recycle their organic waste 4) Every jurisdiction must provide the following
a. Organic waste collection services to all residents and businesses b. Edible food recovery
c. Organics procurement
d. Contamination monitoring
e. Education and Outreach
f. Capacity Planning
g. Recordkeeping
h. Enforcement
i. Reporting
SB 1383 has been the most significant waste reduction mandate to be adopted in the State of California in the last 30 years. In an effort to achieve the State requirements of SB 1383 the City has been diligently working with CalRecycle and Desert Valley Disposal (“DVD”) in developing an SB 1383 implementation plan and moving forward with completing the various required tasks within the required deadlines.

The City is working on an Ordinance implementing SB 1383. In addition, the City is working with DVD to finalize the Amendment to the current Franchise Agreement to reflect all of the new SB 1383 requirements and regulations, which is anticipated to come to City Council for approval/adoption prior to June 30th, 2022.

DVD has already placed an order for new organic waste carts and bins for residents and businesses, and another order for additional waste collection trucks, and is planning on increasing staff levels to be able to provide the new required organic waste collection services. The organic waste carts and bins are scheduled to be delivered in September 2022, and new organic waste services to begin in October 2022.

In order to meet all of the SB 1383 State requirements and deadlines, new services and new fees will need to be established and implemented.

Page 80 of 181 ends

SR-22-092
The following is a summary of the new SB 1383 service fees. 1) Residential Services: SB 1383 services add $8.60 per dwelling. 2) Commercial Services: SB 1383 services add 6.09% to the total fee. 3) Roll-Off Services: SB 1383 services add 1.89% to the total fee.

FEES RELATED TO WEEKLY BULKY WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM
In recent years, the City has experienced an increase in illegal dumping throughout the City. Illegal dumping occurs in vacant properties, on road shoulders, and within residential communities. The majority of illegal dumping is a result of unwanted bulky items that are not properly disposed of or not called in for proper bulky item pick-up. In an effort to address the need for bulky item waste collection to reduce illegal dumping throughout the City, a weekly bulky waste collection program was developed.

This program will offer weekly bulky item pick up to all residential dwelling including multi-family dwellings, and commercial establishments serviced by carts and bins. This program is a new program and in addition to the existing quarterly bulky item pick-up program and the vacant land illegal dumping program, which will also remain. This new program will be an additional service at an additional new cost and fee. The new fees are as follows:

The following is a summary of the new Weekly Bulky Waste Collection Program fees (per month).

1. Single Family Dwelling unit, $3.95.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: April 19, 2022
Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Jilleen Ferris, City Engineer
Subject: Line C-1 Storm Drain Funding Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to execute a Funding Agreement between the City of Desert Hot Springs and Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District for the completion of the Line C-1 project, with substantive changes if needed to be approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

BACKGROUND:

The area along Hacienda Avenue between Calle Amapola and Redbud Road is subject to inundation during storm events, causing the roadway to be closed to allow for clean up crews to remove sediment and debris, which limits accessibility through the City’s east-west arterial. The flooding of Hacienda Avenue is due to the lack of a storm drain system to collect the storm flows emanating from the northerly residential development and hillside area. Storm flows are conveyed southward through an existing flow path towards Hacienda Avenue, where flows are conveyed over the roadway and continue southward through residential development. In addition to roadway flooding, the flows also cause residential flooding for the homes adjacent to the flow path. Road maintenance is required during and after the storm events.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s Master Drainage Plan identifies this area as designated to drain into the Line C-1 Storm Drain, which has not yet been constructed. The City met with Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), who reviewed and accepted to add the Line C-1 Storm Drain Project to the District’s Regional Capital Improvement Projects as funded through regional funds. The City and the District then developed a funding agreement that identifies the roles and responsibilities of both agencies in the design and construction phases of the Line C-1 Storm Drain Project.

The Line C-1 Storm Drain will extend from Deodar Avenue to Panorama Drive (see Exhibit 1), which will also requires the replacement of a small portion of existing City storm drain along Panorama Drive.

At the downstream limits, the Line C-1 Storm Drain will connect into the City‘s existing storm drain and outlet structure located within the basin at Panorama Drive. The Line C-1 Storm Drain will collect the flows tributary to Hacienda Avenue between Calle Amapola and Redbud Road and eliminate flooding from the intersections of Deodar Avenue and Redbud Road to Panaorama Drive and Calle Amapola, as well as prevent road closures to Hacienda Ave and other residential streets in this area.

Page 105 of 181 ends

SR-22-075
The City and the District developed the funding agreement shown in Exhibit 2 that identifies following roles and responsibilities of both agencies for the project.

The following are the District responsibilities:
• Provide funding of $3,800,000 towards the project, which includes 100% of the design, hydrology and hydraulics, geotechnical analysis, potholing, bid contract price, constructing, surveying, compaction and material testing, inspection and construction management associated with the project.
• Act as a Responsible Agency under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). • Review improvement plans in accordance with the applicable District and City standard • Review, comment and make a determination on all applications for regulatory permits prior to the City submitting applications.
• Shall pay the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission for the costs associated with the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
• Shall conduct a final inspection of the project upon receipt of the City’s Notice of Completion. • Shall accept ownership and responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the Line C-1 Storm Drain.

The following are the City responsibilities:
• Shall act as Lead Agency and assume responsibility for preparation, circulation, and adoption of all necessary and appropriate CEQA documents.
• Shall prepare the necessary plans, bid documents and specifications for the project and submit to the District for its review and approval.
• Shall secure all necessary permits, approvals or agreements required by any federal, state and local resource agencies pertaining to the project prior to advertising for public works construction, and assume sole responsibility for compliance of all regulatory permits. • Shall ensure all necessary rights of way, rights of entry and construction easements, and acquire all parcels necessary to inspect, operate and maintain project prior to advertising for public works construction.
• Shall keep an accurate accounting of all costs.
• Shall advertise, award and administer a public works construction contract for the project. • Shall submit reimbursement of all project costs to the District.

Staff is recommending City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the funding agreement between the City and the District for the completion of the Line C-1 storm drain project.

This agreement will only set the roles and responsibilities of the project. Any and all future agreements between the City and consultants and/or contractors will still require City Council approval per the City’s municipal code.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The District is funding the design and construction of the Line C-1 storm drain, therefore there is no fiscal impact to the City.

To: City Council
Date: April 5, 2022
Department: City Clerk
Prepared by: Jerryl Soriano, City Clerk
Subject: Transition From At-Large to By-District Elections (Public Hearing No. 4) RECOMMENDATION:
1) Staff Report;
2) Entertain questions of Staff from the City Council;
3) Open the Public Hearing;
4) Take public testimony;
7) Close the Public Hearing receiving public testimony as part of the administrative record; 8) City Council discussion and questions to Staff; and
9) A) Review the draft maps and provide direction on which map the City Council prefers; AND B) Introduce for First Reading and read by title only, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, establishing a by-District Election Process Pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010, and Adding New Sections to Chapter 2.04 of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code to Provide for City Council Election Districts." BACKGROUND:

On November 1, 2021, the City received a certified letter from attorney Kevin I. Shenkman of the law firm Shenkman & Hughes, on behalf of his client, the Southwest Voter Registration Project, asserting that the City's at-large election system may violate the CVRA and threatening litigation if the City does not voluntarily transition to a district-based election system for electing its City Council.

On December 8, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-071 declaring its intent to transition from at-large to by-district elections, establishing the City’s compliance with Elections Code Section 10010, and a step-by-step process for the transition, which requires significant public participation.

Public Hearings
On February 15, 2022 and March 1, 2022, the City Council held the first 2 required public hearings to inform the public about the districting process and to hear from the community on what factors should be considered while creating district boundaries. At those hearings, the City Council received a presentation from Staff and its demographer, Bear Demographics & Research, regarding legal requirements to be considered, the criteria for creating district boundaries, and the public input process.

The 3rd Public Hearing was held on March 15, 2022.

Page 164 of 181 ends

SR-22-073
Public Workshops
In addition to the required public hearings, the City also contracted with consultants and held public workshops to provide more opportunities to inform the public. Members of the public were invited to attend in-person at City Hall or virtually via the Zoom platform. Three workshops were held on:
• February 17, 2022 at 6:00 P.M.
• February 24, 2022 at 12:00 P.M.
• March 9, 2022 at 6:00 P.M.

On March 23, 2022, a fourth workshop was held at the Desert Hot Springs Senior Center.

Draft Maps
On March 8, 2022, the Demographer provided 3 draft map options for consideration. In accordance with the California Fair Maps Act, district boundaries were drawn using the following criteria in the listed order of priority:
1) The Council shall adopt council district boundaries that comply with the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 (52 U.S.C. Sec. 10301 et seq.).
2) To the extent practicable, council districts shall be geographically contiguous. Areas that meet only at the points of adjoining corners are not contiguous. Areas that are separated by water and not connected by a bridge, tunnel, or regular ferry service are not contiguous. 3) To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division. A "community of interest" is a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates. 4) Council district boundaries should be easily identifiable and understandable by residents. To the extent practicable, council districts shall be bounded by natural and artificial barriers, by streets, or by the boundaries of the city.
5) To the extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria in this subdivision, council districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations. 6) The Council shall not adopt council district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against a political party.

As required by law, the draft maps were made available on the City's website on March 8, 2022, at least seven days prior to the March 15th Public Hearing.
