INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Ursula Luna-Reynosa
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Economic Development and
Housing
Date: 3/12/2024

Subject: Approval of out-of-state travel to attend the Innovating Commerce Serving Communities (ICSC) 2024 Conference from May 19, through May 21, 2024. (Cost: $8,000) (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For the City Council to approve out-of-state travel to attend the Innovating Commerce Serving Communities (ICSC) 2024 Las Vegas Conference from May 19, through May 21, 2024.

BACKGROUND
Founded in 1957, ICSC is the global convention for the shopping center industry and provides networking, dealmaking and educational opportunities for retail and real estate professionals from around the world. Its more than 70,000 members in over 100 countries include shopping center owners, developers, managers, investors, retailers, brokers, academics, and public officials.

Per City Council Policy Number 100-17, the City Council approved overnight conference and training expenditures when it approved the FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 budget (see attached) where certain conferences were approved and specific positions authorized to attend. At the time of budget approval, the Deputy Director of Economic Development position did not exist. Further, the ICSC conference was not identified as an approved conference for the City Manager's Office and therefore no City Manager staff was approved to attend. The City Council is being requested to swap out Senior Project Manager with Deputy Director of Economic Development, add the ICSC conference to the approved list of conferences under the City Manager's Office, and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to attend the conference.

Per City Council Policy Number 100-19, the City Council is being requested to 1) concur that the costs incurred in attending the ICSC conference are justified based 110

Page 2 of 3 ends

on the benefits of attending (additional detail in the below “Discussion” section of this staff report) and 2) authorize and approve out-of-state travel for three (3) City Council members. The costs associated with the conference related to this council request are provided in the “Fiscal Impact” section of this staff report.

DISCUSSION
The upcoming ICSC 2024 Las Vegas Conference presents a valuable platform for the City to engage with prominent industry members, capitalizing on networking, deal-making, and educational prospects. With approximately 1,000 exhibiting companies spanning diverse facets of real estate development, this convention serves as a nexus for collaboration and innovation.

The City's Office of Economic Development views attendance at this convention as a strategic initiative, providing an avenue to delve into economic, marketing, and promotional dynamics influencing the retail and commercial sector. Emphasizing the promotion and marketing of Garden Grove, the team aims to forge connections with industry retail representatives and developers, prioritizing the establishment of meaningful relationships.

By participating as an exhibitor, the City is positioned to leverage the opportunity to engage with key influencers in the realms of shopping center management, hospitality, and housing development. Furthermore, active participation in the convention will facilitate face-to-face interactions with potential developers, strategically navigating the tradeshow floor to foster collaborations and showcase the City's retail commercial real estate opportunities.

In adherence to the Brown Act regulations, a maximum of three Council Members are permitted to attend the ICSC 2024 Las Vegas Conference. The conference is scheduled to take place in approximately two months and exhibitor space and accommodations sell out quickly, necessitating prompt action for staff to register and coordinate travel arrangements for all attending.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The cost for the City Council members and designee from the City Manager's Office to attend the conference is estimated at $8,000. The funds are currently budgeted in the approved operating budget and no additional appropriation is requested.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
111

Page 3 of 3 ends

 Concur that the costs incurred in attending the ICSC conference are justified based on the benefits of attending, approve the swap of the Senior Program Specialist for the Deputy Director of Economic Development, add the ICSC conference to the approved list of conferences for the City Manager's Office, and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to attend the conference; and  Approve the out-of-state travel for up to three Council Members to attend the ICSC conference.

Subject: Authorization for the issuance of a purchase order with Harbor Pointe to replace four (4) Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Package Units at Fire Station 81. (Cost: $83,184) (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE
Secure City Council authorization for issuance of a purchase order with Harbor Pointe to replace four (4) Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Package Units at Fire Station 81.

BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department Facilities Division is responsible for maintenance of City buildings. In 2019, the City contracted with a consultant to perform a comprehensive Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) of City owned buildings. FCA forecasts the useful lifecycle and costs of building needs, as well as major assets inside each building. Additionally, the assessment captured current building deficiencies and categorizes them by Safety, Performance/Integrity, Accessibility, Environmental, Retrofit/Adaptation and Lifecycle/Renewal. These categories are the primary reason or rationale for replacement, repair, or corrective action.

DISCUSSION
Based on performance information provided in the FCA and fiscal year 23-24 CIP plan, staff recommends the replacement of four (4) HVAC package units located at Fire Station 81. These units have reached the end of their useful service lives and qualify for replacement.

Specifications were generated and submitted for bid. The results shown reflect the four (4) lowest bids.

d. directing acceleration in the performance of the work.

4.9.2 A change order shall also be any other written order (including direction, instruction, interpretation or determination) from the CITY which causes any change, provided CONTRACTOR gives the CITY written notice stating the date, circumstances and source of the order and that CONTRACTOR regards the order as a change order.

4.9.3 Except as provided in this Section 4.9, no order, statement or conduct of the CITY or its representatives shall be treated as a change under this Section 9 or entitle CONTRACTOR to an equitable adjustment.

4.9.4 If any change under this Section 4.9 causes an increase or decrease in CONTRACTOR'S actual, direct cost or the time required to perform any part of the work under this Contract, whether or not changed by any order, the CITY shall make an equitable adjustment and modify th e Contract in writing. Except for claims based on defective specifications, no claim for any change under paragraph (4.9.2) above shall be allowed for any costs incurred more than 20 days before the CONTRACTOR gives written notice as required in paragraph (4.9.2). In the case of defective specifications for which the CITY is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased direct cost CONTRACTOR reasonably incurred in attempting to comply with those defective specifications.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Amir El-Farra
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Police
Date: 3/12/2024

Subject: Introduce an ordinance approving an amendment to the Garden Grove Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy; and authorize the issuance of a purchase order for 22 Geissele Super Duty AR-15 rifles

Entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO ATTACHMENT 706.5 OF THE GARDEN

GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE 7071 (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE
To request Council approval of an ordinance approving an amendment to Attachment 706.5 of the Garden Grove Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy and the purchase of 22 Geissele Super Duty AR-15 rifles for use by the Department’s SWAT team.

BACKGROUND
Effective January 1, 2022, California Assembly Bill 481 added Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code. These provisions require law enforcement agencies to obtain the approval of their respective governing bodies, by adoption of a military equipment use policy (via ordinance), prior to use of any equipment defined by the Government Code as “military equipment.”

On June 14, 2022, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 2935 approving the Department’s initial Military Equipment Use Policy. On October 24, 2023, the Department provided Council with an annual Military Equipment Use report and a proposed revised Military Equipment Use Policy. On November 14, 2023, Council approved Ordinance No. 2944, which approved Department Policy 706.

267

Page 2 of 3 ends

In adopting Ordinance No. 2944, the City Council, in part, approved the Department’s continued use of Sig Sauer MCX rifles. The Sig Sauer MCX rifles are used by the GGPD SWAT team. The Department has encountered various issues related to the design and capabilities of the Sig Sauer MCX rifles. The most significant challenges are related to their weight, length, gas blowback, and limitations in training use. As a result, the Department wishes to acquire new rifles which align better with the Department’s mission profile and tactics compared to the current Sig Sauer MCX platform. Throughout the research and testing phase, the Department’s objective has been to make a transition without incurring any out-of-pocket expenses. After careful evaluation, the Department has concluded that the Geissele Super Duty AR-15 is the most suitable choice for the Department’s needs, offering the best fit at an affordable price point. The acquisition of the new Geissele Super Duty AR-15 will eliminate the issues encountered with respect to the Sig Sauer MCX rifles, enhancing the team's operational effectiveness.

Before the Department acquires any new “military equipment,” it must first obtain approval from Council. Because acquisition of the Geissele Super Duty AR-15 rifles would occur prior to the City Council’s required annual “re-approval” of the Department’s Military Equipment Use Policy, the Department must obtain City Council authorization to replace the rifles currently in use with their proposed replacements.

At its meeting of February 13, 2024, the City Council approved the proposed revised Military Use Policy and authorized the Department to proceed with the replacement of the rifles.

DISCUSSION
Government Code section 7071(a)(1) provides that prior to acquiring any military equipment (as that term is defined by Government Code section 7070), the Department must obtain Council approval, via adoption of an ordinance, of a military equipment use policy. The process defined by section 7071 requires the Department to submit a proposed military equipment use policy to the City Council and to post that policy on the Department’s website for a period of at least 30 days prior to any public hearing by the City Council regarding the policy. Government Code section 7071(c) requires the City Council to consider any proposed military equipment use policy as an agenda item for an open session of a regular meeting and to provide for public comment regarding the policy. The same process applies to annual re-approval of the Department’s Military Use policy, as well as to any interim changes to the policy.

The revised policy that was presented by the Department and attached to this report is substantively identical to Policy 706 which was approved by Council on 268

Page 3 of 3 ends

November 14, 2023, with its adoption of Ordinance No. 2944. The only change proposed is the removal of the Sig Sauer MCX rifles, and addition of Geissele Super Duty AR-15 rifles for use by the GGPD SWAT team.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
With respect to the acquisition of the rifles themselves, there will be minimal cost to the City. ProForce, a current vendor utilized by the Department, has agreed to purchase the old Sig Sauer MCX rifles along with additional non utilized SWAT gear, in return for the Geissele Super Duty AR-15.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
 Introduce the ordinance amending the Garden Grove Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy; and
 Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order for 22 Geissele Super Duty AR-015 rifles and exchange of the existing Sig Sauer MCX rifles and additional non- utilized SWAT gear.
