The period between September 15th-September 18th, numerous countries in Latin America, Mexico and Chile achieved independence…throughout the history of the United Staes, members of the Hispanic Agenda Item No. 7C.
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 15 community have helped shape the social, political, and economic landscape of this Country and our community…the City of Guadalupe invites all members of the community to celebrate 2023 Hispanic Heritage Month.
Mayor Julian said, “When it says my name on the proclamation, it also includes all of the City Council.
2. Filipino American History Month – October 2023
CM Robles acknowledged October as “Filipino American History Month”. He read the proclamation which in part said: Filipino American History Month was established in 1988 to commemorate the arrival of the first Filipinos who landed in what is now Morro Bay, California on October 18, 1587…the year 1763 is recognized by the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) as the date of the first permanent Filipino settlement in the United States in Santa Malo Parrish, Louisiana. In 2006, October was first recognized as Filipino American History Month by California Department of Education, [followed by] the 111th Congress and then the California State Legislature…the heritage of the Filipino people enriches our own culture, and we welcome the history, culture, and contributions of the Filipino American community to our city, state, and the nation.
3. Breast Cancer Awareness Month – October 2023
CM Lizalde read the proclamation which stated that October 2023 is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”. The proclamation, in part said: Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women. Breast Cancer Awareness Month began in 1985…more than 43,000 women die from breast cancer each year in the United States…nearly 300,000 new cases of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in 2023…screening increases early detection…decreases late-stage cancer diagnoses, and increases five-year survival rates…this is an opportunity for the City of Guadalupe and all of our community to “Go Pink” in October to raise awareness, promote early screen, and honor those affected by breast cancer…join in this worthwhile cause to celebrate successes and memorialize lost battles.
The mayor said that it is important to recognize all. It’s unfortunate that there aren’t a lot of people to see the proclamations, and the history these individuals have and also on the breast cancer subject.
CM Hernandez also added the following:
“Hispanic Heritage Month” is a reminder of the value of diversity and inclusivity in our community. It encourages us to be open-minded and welcoming to people from all backgrounds, while we celebrate our achievements. Hispanic Heritage Month is also a call to action. It encourages civic engagement, participation in local government, and advocacy for the issues that affect our community.”
“Filipino American History Month” is a time to celebrate and honor the rich and diverse culture, history, and traditions of the Filipino community in the United States. This month serves as a reminder to share stories, traditions, and values that are central to the Filipino October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 15 identity. We should acknowledge challenges that Filipino Americans may face, including issues related to immigration, discrimination, and healthcare disparities. This month can provide a platform to address these challenges.
CM Lizalde said, “For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, if all of us in this room shared that message with other family members, relatives and our community, that’s how this information gets spread and maybe could save someone’s life…something as simple as discussing Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I really appreciate this proclamation coming up, too.”
6. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION FORUM
Request to Speak:
Amelia Villegas mentioned that on Saturday, October 21st, the Friends of the Guadalupe Library will be having a “Free Book Giveaway” at the Guadalupe Library. She said, “There will be books at all levels, from tots up through adults. We won’t have as many books in Spanish this time because of the Cinco de Mayo event at Le Roy Park where we also gave away books. You don’t need a library card to get a free book or two. So, if you don’t have a card, you can get one that day. The card is free. You just have to show residency. The giveaway will only be for one hour, between 11:00 a.m. to 12 noon. We hope to see you out there.”
CM Lizalde, “It’s so great that you’re doing a book giveaway. Where I work in the school, in the library, we recognize that we’re a book desert. In Guadalupe, in our homes, on average, it’s likely that there are only about 10 books in a home. We’re seeing that in our children…they’re unable to read due to lack of access to books. I really want to promote any event that will put books in our homes. So, I’m really grateful that you’re doing that and thank you for announcing it.” Mayor Julian added, “This past weekend at the Mayors Ball, United Way showed a video of a little girl who was 4 years old reading a book to her mother. Fourteen years later, she’s 18, they had a video of her reading that book, going to college and really taking off because of that platform of reading a book and reading to her mom. Her mother didn’t prompt her…she was just reading.” CM Lizalde said, “It’s incredible to see right now, especially with this generation, things with technology because technology can easily read to us. Unfortunately, our kids are just not able to read, and it’s really putting them behind in school. The more we can promote reading, whether it’s a newspaper, a magazine, little booklet, the more books we can put in children’s and family’s hands…Plus just for mental health which we’ve discussed before at previous meetings. For adults, reading is a great way to support mental health…to get off streets…to do something different. So, anyway we can promote books in our community, I just think it helps everyone.”

8. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT: (Information Only)
In addition to Mr. Bodem’s written report, he discussed the following:
151 Obispo Cannabis Odor: I had received a called from a council member and other citizens about a bad odor coming out of the 151 Obispo project. I was told by Chris Bellemy from 151 Obispo that the carbon scrubber, which is the device they use to control odor, had a defective part right out of the box. The VFD that controls the velocity of the fans would not let the dial down on the speed, so it was only allowing them to be operating at full blast. The problem with that is it doesn’t allow the carbon filters to scrub the air and eliminate the odor. They decided just to turn the unit off until the new part arrives. After the unit was off, they went out back and did not detect any odor. They are working on fine tuning all the systems and they should be good by the end of the week.
Grants:
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 15 Aside from the city approving, under the Consent Agenda, a subgrant agreement with Santa Barbara County Water Agency to secure $989,655 in Proposition 1 integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) grant funding for the Pioneer Lift Station Rehabilitation Project, the City just got awarded the following other grants:
1. City of Guadalupe Transit Hub Renovation Project $1,310,000. This project involves upgrading the City’s Amtrak station to a multimodal transit hub. Project includes implementing a public restroom, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, bicycle amenities, pervious pavers, improved signage, and site beautification upgrades. The site was originally designed for an average of 23 train passengers but now must accommodate an additional 140 passengers per day that ride the City’s fixed route bus system. The site is located adjacent to both the railroad and Highway 1 and is on a very popular bicycle touring route.
2. Award Notification Letter that congratulates the city for obtaining an approved grant of $3,534,908 for the 2023 Sewer Enhancement Project (Hwy 1 lift station) which is a CDBG NonHousing OTC award.
Mr. Bodem then turned to Mr. Dwayne Chisham, Interim PW Director, for an update on Phase 2 at Le Roy Park. Mr. Chisham said, “Currently, we’re in the environmental phase. There is a tribal comment period that will end in two (2) days. Once that’s over, we can then apply for the grant and move forward. We have an architect on board and can move forward with the actual process once the grant is awarded, pending getting the final environmental documentation.” Mayor Julian asked about the tribal comment. He said, “Because of some ground disturbance there at the Royal Theatre, we needed a tribal auditor. There was a communication with one of the groups that was to actually sign up and say that they’re going to be a monitor. Now, you say in two (2) days it’s going to be….” Mr. Bodem said, “It’s the same group that answered and didn’t have any issues with the Phase 1 of Le Roy Park, so they probably won’t have any issues with this. It really covered the whole site anyway. So, I don’t think there will be anyone there to monitor the site.” Mr. Chisham added that the whole site’s been cleared once before.
Mr. Bodem also added that the Ms. Anna Marie Michaud, City Treasurer, asked him to say that the Treasurer’s Report was delayed as the Finance Department is still reconciling the books. Ms. Davis, Finance Director, said, “January now. We have six (6) months left to reconcile.” CM Hernandez asked, “I expected to see electric buses in town. When will that happen?” Mr.
Chisham said there was a slight delay due to a part needed which has just arrived and is getting installed today…it’s in process.
CM Robles mentioned that 151 Obispo discussed previously that there was a commitment to be invited to get a tour. Mr. Bodem said, “Once they get acclimated, they definitely will set that up.
They made a point of telling me that.”

9. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY REPORT: (Information Only) I did a tour of the 151 Obispo facility and checked out all the cameras and signed off on all the sprinklers and all the other systems. The parking lot… I met with their security person who will be stationed inside of the gate. Employees are not allowed to head out once they’re in, so no product leaves the facility. I have access to their camera systems. I saw where all their cameras and all their screens are to make sure that the City has proper access to all their camera systems. They’re being a good partner.
I am somewhat finished on our public safety. We’re looking at a restructure. We’ve been meeting with another department north of here. The POA had a meeting with me to see how to become more efficient, which was something brought up by one of our council members. Waiting for the Human Resources person to start. Alot of the different job descriptions have been written up…to save money, be more efficient and put more resources on the street.
Generator: had a meeting today. We’re all fairly secure with the generator. There were some discussions about some electrical issues that are being worked on. We’ve already talked with the company, and it could between 4-5 months…has to be built to our specifications. But everything is pretty much set. We just have to figure out the load and how the electricity aspect is going to work.
Looking at all of City Hall, not just police wing having power. This would then be an emergency shelter. We’d have police, fire, finance and our City Council would be able to make decisions. In a dire situation if all the electricity goes out, this would be the hub.
Appreciate Todd Bodem for having the grant writer on board. We’re all set for Fire House sub-grant.
We’re ready to go. At 7:00 a.m., Thursday, it opens up…there are only so many slots open. We’re ready to hit the button.
At the next City Council meeting, the new Fire Captain will be introduced.
Impact Fees: This is something else that was brought up. We’re looking for not only ways to raise revenue but for public safety to, hopefully, step away a little bit from the General Fund and access funds from some contractors. The work is done, and we talked to the firm that did it, and they want to do a workshop. I reached out to the Guadalupe Business Association president who reviewed it and has some questions. They’re excited about it. Will do a workshop before bringing the study to the City Council for final review.
Emergency Response Procedure Plan: it has been completed, all 65 pages, and it should be on the next council agenda on October 24th. CM Hernandez had brought this up questioning whether the City had an emergency plan. This is mandated for all cities. A lot don’t have a plan. It’s with our city attorney for review. It’ll make it a lot easier to receive funds from FEMA when disasters hit. It gives a whole outline of how we’re to respond as a city. Training will eventually be attached to that for all levels, City Council and all.
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 15 Guadalupe Unified School District requested first aid training for all of their employees which we will provide. Looking at schedules on how to handle all of that.
Through The Little House by the Park and GBA, we put together a citizens’ support group, Guadalupe Safety Support Team (GSST): after the flooding incident, there were a lot of volunteers, but no actual structure was in place…it was just led. We need to be prepared for the next time to provide housing, clothing and transportation. Community involvement was excellent. Now we have a structure, and we have citizens who want to be in charge of that. Now we have a way to just turn it on. First responders can go do their job. The citizens’ group went through all of our procedures and guidelines. We’ll get more non-profits who will also be involved. We’ll look at ways to check on our seniors in our community when power may go out. They’re all excited and it’s nice to see the community involvement in something like this.
Letter of Support for the Kiwanis Christmas Parade: we will be planning for that.
CM Hernandez asked, “Can you give us an update on Jack O’Connell Park? I’ve seen cameras out there and was wondering if there was an uptake of issues in that park?” Chief Cash said, “There’s no crime issue there. We met with Touch of Style this past weekend. We had extra cameras that had been purchased, so we put them at O’Connell Park…a lot of precaution.” Mayor Julian asked, “Where will the cameras be located? Make sure they’re up high…they’re needed over there.” Chief agreed saying, “It’s a lot cheaper than personnel. Cameras are on poles at Jack O’Connell Park. At Le Roy Park, they’re on the exteriors. One of our main points is on the bathrooms…not only for graffiti but for any other types of crimes.
CM Lizalde thanked the Chief saying, “I’ve also seen more patrols during the day. I think the public appreciates seeing our officers out and about. I like that we’re saying publicly that we have cameras.
And I like that we’re being proactive rather than reactive.” Mayor Julian said, “Several years ago, some of us went to Gilroy to tour their cannabis distribution site. We met with the police chief and mayor. They had 41 cameras throughout the city. [Correction:
King City] 41 cameras outside…crime rate just plummeted. It is cheaper to have cameras than personnel.”
REGULAR BUSINESS
10. Appointment of one vacant seat to the Recreation and Parks Commission.
Written report: Hannah Sanchez, Recreation Services Manager Recommendation: That the City Council appoint one of the two interested individuals to the Recreation and Parks Commission to fill the vacant seat.
Ms. Sanchez said, “For two months there has been a vacant seat on the Recreation & Parks Commission. The vacancy was posted for a 30-day period resulting in two (2) candidates.” CM Hernandez asked what the requirements were for that seat. Ms. Sanchez said that the selected candidate needs to attend the monthly meetings which are held the first Tuesday of each month.
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 15 There were two (2) applicants: Arnulfo Navarro and Mike Rochlin.
Mr. Navarro was asked to speak first. He gave a brief background about himself and why his interest in filling the vacant seat on the Recreation & Parks Commission: “I am a resident artist and recently came into a full-time position with Family Service Agency, The Little House at the Park and Community Changers. I will be doing a lot of community events. I want to get more involved. I will be here, and a main focus is getting the city involved, like using the Veterans Hall. I have a lot of ideas, and with this opportunity presented here, it’s a good match. I grew up in this community. I want to change things. I feel how much this community needs. I just want an opportunity to make a difference, not only for the youth but also for adults. It feels like things drop off after you’re 18, but it’s an ongoing process.”
CM Lizalde ask, “Are you going to talk about the Halloween event?” Mr. Navarro said, “Yes, at McKenzie Intermediate School, on October 31st, from 5pm to 9pm, we’re teaming with Kiwanis and the school to have a low rider ‘Trunk or Treat’ with Touch of Style. We’ll have a roller disco, teaming up with Slow Roll. They’ll provide skates to rent for $5. A barbecue by Kiwanis…a cakewalk and variety of activities. There will be tables and booths if any businesses want to participate. The next day there will be an event at the Veterans Hall, Dia de los Muertos, which is a community event.” CM Lizalde said, “For me, I love the way you light up when you talk about an event. For Rec & Parks, you have to love the community and want to participate in events. We need someone who has energy to bring people together for these exciting events. Partnering with your professional side makes a lot of sense working in our community. Thank you for your interest and for everything you’re doing right now. It’s really exciting.” Mr. Navarro said, “It’s tough growing up here in Guadalupe and seeing how things are. I’m on a journey of believing in myself, in believing in this community, in believing that I can go beyond what I think I’m capable of. I want everyone to be on that flow of belief, and we need to get everyone to get that belief back in this community’…where we’re rock solid, not looking outward but inward. That’s the goal.” The other applicant, Mr. Rochlin, had initially attended the meeting but was not present when called by the Council.
Mayor Julian then asked what the wishes of the Council were.
Motion was made by Council Member Lizalde and seconded by Council Member Robles to nominate Arnulfo Navarro to fill the vacant Commissioner seat on the Recreation and Parks Commission. Roll Call: Ayes: 5 5-0 Motion passed.
CM Hernandez asked if there is a role for those who may want to volunteer with recreation. Ms.
Sanchez said, “The best way to get involved is to come to the Recreation & Parks meetings. They’re on YouTube live screened. A lot of discussion happens in those meetings. Reach out to the Commissioners. Everyone knows Joe Harris. If there’s anything you’re interested in, reach out to him. You can always come to the Recreation Department. There are volunteer applications. Let me October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 15 know if you’re interested.” CM Lizalde said, “I think it’s important to start by going to meetings.
You’ll hear about upcoming events.”
Mayor Julian added, “We need more interest in what’s going on with the recreation side. There’s ample opportunity to get things going, and we have funds. There’s a lot out there.” Ms. Sanchez said “The struggle right now is knowing what the community wants. Coming to the meetings or watching them, you’ll see what’s going on and can let us know what’s wanted. Poetry Jam is good. Don’t see a lot of fine arts. ‘Recreation’ is not just limited to sports activities.” CM Lizalde said, “I want to thank Hannah Sanchez again. Post-pandemic, it was hard for the community to find our identity again. Pre-pandemic, everybody was willing to jump in and do events.
But post-pandemic, there is a disconnect. But there’s been a lot of progress made with events that people have enjoyed. So, thank you.”
11. Street Tree Ordinance Update.
Written report: Philip F. Sinco, City Attorney
Recommendation: That the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2023-512 by title only for the first reading, and to continue to its meeting of October 24, 2023, for second reading and adoption.
City Attorney Sinco gave a brief background on this item: It was brought up at the request of the Public Works Department because of some problems enforcing it.
The section of the Guadalupe Municipal Code, referenced as the “Street Tree Ordinance” was enacted in 1959 and has not been updated since. That was before the City had a municipal code, which was in 1985 when all the ordinances were put together into a code. At that time there was a Planning Commission, and the ordinance delegated the administration of the ordinance to the Planning Commission.
The main reason for bringing this item up is that there’s no Planning Commission now…it’s the City Council that has to take on that role. The problem here is that the ordinance had the Planning Commission be the role administrator and enforcer allowing to appeal to the City Council if the decision by the Planning Commission wasn’t accepted. Not practical for the City Council to wear two hats as the Planning Commission and the City Council. It makes sense for staff to have the Council change the responsible party for administrating and enforcing the ordinance from the Planning Commission to a city position. We recommend the Public Works Director, or designee, with the assistance of Code Enforcement.
The town of Guadalupe was here long before there was a city. Trees and shrubs were planted in public places in public parking strips by who? Maybe the people in the town did it. Maybe the County. We just don’t know. The City valued these trees as evidenced by the passage of this ordinance. Recently, trees have needed maintenance…maybe branches blocking pedestrian access over a sidewalk. Public Works asked Code Enforcement to issue notices of violations requiring maintenance of trees. A number of people refused to do the maintenance saying, “it’s not my tree.
It’s your city tree…you take care of it.”
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 15 So, now we’re at a stand-off. Staff had this ordinance to do it, but it was unclear because the Planning Commission was shown as in charge or administering and enforcing the ordinance. But there is no longer a Planning Commission.
The ordinance is being brought now for proposed updates. The main update is to designate the Public Works Director, or designee, in place of the Planning Commission as the administrator and enforcer. Another change is we’re including that the Public Works Director, or designee, may request assistance of Code Enforcement, Code Compliance. Also, the other significant change is to change the criminal penalty from an infraction, which carries a maximum fine of $100, which hasn’t kept up with inflation and certainly isn’t going to dissuade someone from spending money on tree maintenance from having to pay a $100 fine. To create a significant deterrent in the ordinance, we’re recommending to upgrade it to a misdemeanor which can be as high as $1,000. This could also have jail time imposed but the City wouldn’t recommend that for a violation like this.
All of this presupposes that the City Council would be in support of this type of arrangement. At this point, City Attorney Sinco said a letter was received from Mr. Garret Matsuura. City Attorney Sinco disagreed with the letter but did proceed to read it. The following is the full letter addressed to Todd Bodem, City Administrator, dated October 10, 2023:
Dear Mr. Bodem:
I am writing to voice some concern over the proposed Tree Ordinance to be presented in tonight’s City Council meeting.
Based on what I see, emphasis on the City’s putting the onus of management of City owned trees on residential and/or business owners seems problematic in any ways:
• For owners to be financially responsible for the upkeep of trees they didn’t plant, don’t own, and have no control over does not seem fair.
• The maintenance of the trees as city-wide beautification would best be undertaken by either City Staff with the appropriate training or a certified arborist that would be able to maintain trees in a healthy and visually appealing manner.
• Modifying the existing ordinance to increase penalties (from infraction to misdemeanor) for those that do not comply with the ordinance comes across as petty and draconian.
I would ask that there be additional discussion ad feedback from the Business Association to provide input from affected business owners.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
/s/
Garret Matsuura
Guadalupe, CA 93434
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 11 of 15 City Attorney Sinco asked, “Does the City want to take on the responsibility to maintain the trees without budget, or is it fair to ask the public to take on some of this responsibility? It’s not the case of the City actually planting these trees. They could have been planted by previous owners that just happened to be planted on city property. The property concern isn’t like the public parks, but it’s that strip that people think is their property because it’s on their front yard…it’s between the sidewalk and street which belongs to the City, because the City has an easement for roadway purposes.
He then said, “It’s fine if the Council wants the City to take on this responsibility. But if it’s not funded, it won’t get done. This is why staff brought this ordinance requesting updates and a confirmation from the City Council that it is appropriate to impose responsibility for the maintenance of these trees on the property owners. They do benefit more from them…and the City does benefit from the urban forest. It helps with greenhouse gases and provides shade keeping energy costs lower for houses…another reason why property owners benefit from these trees.
City Attorney Sinco then asked, “If the City Council directs us to change the ordinance so property owners don’t have the responsibility to maintain trees, I would ask the Council to add a provision for property owners not to injure or damage trees as it is important that we at least maintain our urban forest. Regardless, where the Council comes down on who is ultimately responsible for maintaining the cost of…it’s important not to completely gut the ordinance so people are allowed to do what they want with the trees. We just need some direction from the Council. The real issues are: 1) Do we want to maintain the urban forest, and 2) If we do, how will it be funded? The ordinance doesn’t always require the City to impose all the costs of the maintenance on the property owners. If the City gets money to provide funds to do this, the Public Works Director, or designee, can arrange for that to happen, or it can take care of the more expensive maintenance of tree removals and have the property owners do the general maintenance, like trimming the trees so people don’t have to duck around them when walking.”
Mayor Julian said, “Thank you for your comments and for reading Mr. Matsuura’s letter. I was going to have that just put in the minutes. Was this given to GBA?” City Attorney Sinco said, “No, it was not, partly because it was already on the books, and I didn’t think it was necessary. But, also, as I found out today…I didn’t see this coming. I’m glad he wrote, and as I said, I have respect for him, and I’m glad he’s paying attention. It turns out the City doesn’t have to ask private property owners on state highways to maintain whatever street trees there. Funds exist for public highways. Public Works already takes care of trees on Hwy 1 (Guadalupe Street) and Hwy 166. Mr. Matsuura’s point, though, is valid with respect to the residential property owners.” The mayor then said, “City doesn’t have funds to do that. Trees are very important to us. We’re a tree desert in this community. If you’re looking at selling a home, appraisers look at trees. They add value to your yard. Doesn’t seem like there are a lot of trees that this ordinance will apply to. 1959 to now, we haven’t had an update. We need to push this forward. I don’t think we’ll have a lot of issues with people refusing to comply and saying to just cut it down, but we have an ordinance that says otherwise. I’m in favor of this.”
City Attorney Sinco said, “Trees don’t require that much maintenance…maybe once every 5-7 years.
It’s only if it’s a dangerous tree that it becomes a concern that you’d have to remove it. Like after a storm, maybe, but there probably would be funding then. The ordinance doesn’t always require property owners to maintain the tree, but it does require when it is appropriate.” October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 15 CM Lizalde asked, “The CalFire grant? Is it approved and coming?” City Attorney Sinco said, “It’s been received. I asked what if the Council wanted to repeal the ordinance all together, for whatever reason, would that affect the grant. The answer is ‘No’ because it’s just taking inventory of our trees. It will provide information to the Council when it’s all done, showing how much it would cost for the City to take on that burden. It’s needed to be done for the urban forest. We’re just in the beginning stages. But even if you repealed this ordinance, it wouldn’t affect this grant, but it would any other grants we might get. It wouldn’t be supportive if you repealed the ordinance.” CM Lizalde said further, “This is basically a tree-mapping. How many is this actually affecting? We may run into a problem with some resident who, in Treasure Park or another area, bought their house 10 years ago, and would not be aware that it’s their tree because it’s on public property. We need to educate the public. There are trees that are old and beautiful and will cost monies to maintain. I see that we need this ordinance, but I feel for those people who will get caught in the middle of that. Hopefully, we work with them…coming together and collaborating.” City Attorney Sinco said, “This is only the first update that we have. There are ways we can look at situations, like if an old tree needs to be removed because it would be too expensive to maintain.
City of Santa Maria has a full procedure to see what degree of maintenance is needed. If it’s too expensive to maintain, then have it removed but maybe replaced with other plantings. We can work on something like that.”
CM Hernandez said, “This is a challenging topic. I’m an avid biker and am always getting stuck on branches and trees. Just cut them back. Safety is an important issue here.” CM Costa, Jr. said, “This is a hard one. How many houses are affected by this? Maybe as a city we should get in contact with them to let them know what’s going on. How can we work together to maintain trees? Get in contact with them. An owner might want to maintain the trees with no problem. Something so we know if they want to take care of them. If I buy a house that has trees, I may not want to maintain those trees. I see why you’re requesting to update the ordinance. It’s been like that since 1959. Everything has changed and just trying to get caught up with the times.
We just need to see the number of those property owners who’ll be affected by all of this.” City Attorney Sinco said, “I don’t know when the inventory of trees will be done. You don’t have to update…the ordinance is already in place. Maybe we change the Planning Commission to the Public Works Director and not make the other changes if you don’t want to change the fine or something like that. We can tinker with this if you don’t want to approve all of it. There are other ways. We can put an assessment district to the voters, Mello-Roos bond to create money, tax parcels to create funds specifically to maintain the urban forest. There would be a way to spread that burden across the city. We can look at these in the future.”
Mayor Julian said, “This ordinance and urban forest inventory run parallel. Look when the inventory will be done, but we need to update the ordinance. The benefit of trees is good. Arborist didn’t want old trees at Le Roy Park. There were conflicting opinions. Take down old and plant new or not. We lost out on 250 trees because of some controversy for the community. This is the first reading. We need to set a standard.”
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 13 of 15 CM Robles asked, “How did we come up with $1,000?” City Attorney Since said, “Up to $1,000. A misdemeanor is a flexible fine. It could be $100…it could be $900. Unless the fine is extremely egregious, it wouldn’t start at $1,000…maybe at $250 or so.” CM Robles said, “Most of our trees have been here a while…with winds, they lean towards the east. They’re all pointing to Santa Maria.
Common sense says this is needed, but we need to look at the fine and how this is put together.” City Attorney Sinco added, “If anyone who’s dissatisfied with the process, they would have a hearing before our Code Compliance Hearing Officer, Jack Owen, and then if they didn’t like the ruling, they would bring it to you (City Council), if necessary. That would be one benefit of these amendments, rather than having the City Council having the first and last stop on the matter.” CM Robles reiterated the need to see the inventory. City Attorney Sinco said he’d ask Ms. Cruz [staff member completing the inventory] to prepare a report for a future council meeting and when the inventory will be done.

October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 14 of 15 Mayor Julian:
SBCAG – Highway 166 Improvement in City of Guadalupe: Approved partnership to include SBCAG, Caltrans, City of Guadalupe and Pasadera (through the City). The scope of this project would include land improvements at the intersection of Highway 1/166 and improvements to the UPRR rail crossing, along with pedestrian and bike improvements. The project would add intersection improvements at Obispo Street (signalization) and Flower Street but no signalization there…along with expanded drainage and pavements improvements, pedestrian, and bike features. There would also be UPRR and signal improvements. The City of Guadalupe gave $4M towards this project. The total project will cost about $31M. Must be ready for construction for FY 25/26.
Hwy 166 and Black Road Signalization and Major Improvements: Construction on installation of signalization and road improvements at Black Road which will also include a passing lane west of Black Road. SBCAG to detail the work required and timeline which will include detours and road closure of up to four (4) west of the Black Road intersection.
SER JOBS for Progress: Last Thursday, October 5th, there was a GED graduation ceremony for 60+ individuals, many from Guadalupe. This ceremony was held in the City auditorium. It was well attended by family members.
Mayors Ball – Fundraiser for North Santa Barbara County United Way: The annual Mayors Ball was held last Saturday, October 7th. The mayors from Buellton, Santa Maria, Lompoc and Guadalupe attended. City Attorney Sinco attended and sponsored a table. The Chumash organization sponsored a $10,000 table. During the flood, United Way funded a case manager through Family Services Agency/Little House by the Park, inc. for Pioneer Street residents as well as providing checks for each family impacted by the flood.
Food Bank: At the October 5th food bank distribution, there were 151 families served. Thanks to all the volunteers, which included City staff (Finance Director, Chief Cash, Fire).
Guadalupe Main Street Beach: 3 phases with the route across dunes complex: Before the kiosk, after the kiosk with the major one going over the dunes…probably not happening for another year. One of the reasons is the road going over the dunes where the commandments stuff is, that’s now a cliff.
One of the plans is to have a parking area just before or right near the sand company, then walk -> -> to beach. That’s going to eliminate a lot of people, but it will be awhile before that happens.
North County Sub Regional meeting 10/11/23 – Solvang: North County SBCAG meets in Solvang every month before our SBCAG meeting and talk about North County projects. South County does the same thing with their projects. Discussions from both meetings are then put together at the SBCAG meeting. What is really cool is that North County representatives are really pushing for Guadalupe and this area. That’s why you’re seeing so much money coming in. Caltrans is working with Taylor Farms, 151 Obispo and Pasadera, so there’s really been a good relationship with Caltrans. And they’re taking the lead on the whole project.
October 10, 2023 City of Guadalupe Council Meeting Minutes Page 15 of 15 CM Hernandez: Food insecurity is on the rise. I went to a food bank distribution last week. You would see mothers with push carts running to the site. They served 500 individuals within the first hour and had to turn everyone else away. I was in tears watching these mothers running to get this food.
On October 18th the Food Bank will be hosting a fundraiser. It’s called “Empty Bowls”. It’s $25.00 There will be two (2) seatings and a pick-up option. I will be serving at the first seating and hope to see you there. This will be at the Fair Park in Santa Maria.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
1.0 POLICY
The purpose of this Investment Policy is to establish overall guidelines for the prudent management and investment of the City of Guadalupe’s public funds in accordance with Government Code 53600, et seq.
2.0 SCOPE
The Investment Policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Guadalupe which includes the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds and Enterprise Funds. This Investment Policy also applies to the Successor Agency Funds since the City of Guadalupe has opted to serve as Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Guadalupe.
3.0 PRUDENCE
All investments and evaluation of such investments shall be made with the Prudent Investor Standard as set forth by California Government Code, Section 53600.3, 53646 and 27000 and is defined as;
Prudent Investor Standard: Acting with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the professional management of their business affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived.
4.0 OBJECTIVE
The primary objectives in order of priority of the City Portfolio are:
4.1 Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital. To attain this objective, the City of Guadalupe will diversify its investments.
4.2 Liquidity: The City of Guadalupe’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City of Guadalupe to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.
4.3 Return on Investment: The portfolio is also managed to maximize its overall market return with consideration of the safety and liquidity discussed above. 2 5.0 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City of Guadalupe’s investment program is derived from Section 41001 and 41006 of the California Government Code. Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer and Finance Director who shall establish procedures for the investment programs, which are consistent with the Investment Policy. Authorization for investment decisions is limited to the City Treasurer and the Finance Director with the approval of City Council.
6.0 ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All officers and employees involved in the investment process shall not engage in any personal business activity, which could conflict with proper execution of investments subject to this Policy. Any material financial interests in financial institutions which do business with the City should be disclosed to City Council. All individuals involved in the investment process are required to report all income, assets, investments, gifts, and loans on form 700 - Statement of Economic Interests.
7.0 REPORTING
As a best practice and sound financial management practice, the City Treasurer and the Finance Director will submit a monthly investment report to the Legislative Body pursuant to Government Code 53647.
8.0 AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
A. Current short and long-term depositaries utilized:
8.1 Local Agency Investment Fund: The Local Agency Investment Fund, or “LAIF” as it is conveniently known, is a pooled investment fund operated by the State of California. The fund is backed by the full faith and credit of the State, and the rate of return on investments compares favorably with that of bank savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Transfers in and out of the City account at the LAIF require 24 hours, must be in multiples of $1,000 and a $5,000 minimum.
The City account is used mostly for deposits and withdrawals in the $100,000 range; interest is posted only quarterly. This is the preferred venue for Guadalupe monies.
8.2 Commercial Banks (Mechanics Bank): The City maintains its general checking accounts (warrant and payroll accounts) at Mechanics Bank, Guadalupe Office, as well as a USDA/Rus-Hwy One Water/Sewer Pipeline account, Government Code Section 53630 and Section 16000, et seq., of the California Code of 3 Regulations place very strict requirements on commercial banks that accept public deposits.
8.3 Public Money Market (Mechanics Bank): The Public Money Market Account, or “PMMA” as it is conveniently known, is a standard bank product, not an investment pool, or money market fund operated by Mechanics Bank. The fund is backed by the full faith and credit of the FDIC. The City account will be used mostly for deposits and withdrawals in the $100,000 range; interest is posted monthly.
Each bank is required to maintain an amount of performing securities well exceeding the total deposits by local agencies, and such securities must be held in a pool controlled by the State of California.
It is contemplated that other commercial banks will be utilized as depositories for funds of the City of Guadalupe or of the City of Guadalupe Successor Agency. Before any deposits are made in such banks, a written contract or agreement will be executed, substantially in accord with the requirements of Government Code Section 53630, et seq., between the depositary and the City of Guadalupe. As of the date of this report, the foregoing are the only investment categories utilized by the City of Guadalupe and by the City of Guadalupe Successor Agency.
9.0 PERMITTED INVESTMENTS
• Securities of the United States Government, or its agencies • Certificate of Deposit (or time deposits) placed with commercial banks and/or savings and loan companies
• Negotiable Certificates of Deposit
• Commercial Paper
• Money Market Funds rated “AAAm” or “AAAm-G” or better by Standard & Poor’s Corporation
• Local Agency Investment Fund (State Pool) Demand and Deposits • Repurchase Agreements (Repos)
10.0 LIMIT ON TERM TO MATURITY
The City Treasurer and Finance Director are not to invest any City monies in investments allowed under this policy that have a term remaining to maturity in excess of five years from the date of investment, unless the City Council has granted express authority to make such an investment. The City’s Investment Policy shall be structured to provide that sufficient funds from investments are available to meet City’s anticipated cash needs.
4 11.0 ANNUAL REVIEW
This Statement of Investment Policy is to be submitted to the City Council annually for review and approval. It is to continue to serve as the basis for the responsibilities and actions taken by the City Treasurer and Finance Director relative to the investment of the City’s idle funds.

_______________________________ _________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:
Philip F. Sinco, City Attorney Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Guadalupe Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding for the time period August 18, 2023, through June 30, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-86 approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Guadalupe Police Officers Association for the time period of August 18, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
BACKGROUND:
The previous agreement between the City and the Guadalupe Police Officers Association (GPOA) expired on June 30, 2022. As a result, there has not been an active MOU in place since July 1, 2022.
City management and the GPOA negotiation team had some challenging but ultimately productive negotiations and have reached agreement on the terms for a new MOU.
Key components of the proposed MOU are as follows:
• Term from August 18, 2023, to June 30, 2024
• All employee salaries to be increased by $5.00 per hour retroactive to August 18, 2023 (funded by an agreement to eliminate one police officer position) • Modification to Article 2.07.D. of the MOU, Compensatory Time: The following language has been added at the end: “No compensatory time can be rolled over from one year to the next. All compensatory time accrued throughout the calendar year (including the last full pay period of the year) will be paid out on the last payroll every December.” • Modification to Article 2.10, Vacation: Language has been added that: “By November 1 deadline of each year, an employee may make a written irrevocable election to declare cashing out vacation leave and/or compensatory time that will accrue in the next calendar year.” (NOTE:
failure to make the irrevocable election will prevent employees from cashing out any vacation Philip F. Sinco
time the following year). This provision was added to the MOA in order to avoid any “constructive receipt” issues in violation of IRS regulations. • Modification to Article 2.17, Educational Incentive Pay: The following language will be substituted for what is in the former MOU:
“All employees represented by the POA shall receive premium compensation above their base salary for possessing the following degrees, provided they are in a subject that is law enforcement or job related:
Associate's Degree: three percent (3%) above base salary; Bachelor's Degree: 5.5% above base salary.
The Police Chief shall use reasonable criteria to determine what educational degrees are law enforcement related.”
• The City will increase its contributions to POA members’ monthly health insurance premiums by $50 per pay period (i.e., from $975 to $1,083.33 per month) • Although not included as part of the MOU, the POA and the City agreed to commence negotiations for a new MOU no later than by March 1, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Although all salaries for POA members are increased by $5.00 per hour under the proposed MOU (and the City’s monthly contribution for health insurance premiums are increased by $50 per pay period for each member), there is only a very small negative fiscal impact to the City in the amount of $779.00 for FY 2023-24 because the POA and the City agreed that these increases would be offset by the elimination of one of the 11 approved police officer positions. This police officer position will be eliminated by an upcoming budget amendment.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
October 24, 2023
(Information below may be subject to change)
1. 995 Guadalupe Street (Al’s Union Property Surplus Land The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) thanked the City for submitting our surplus land documentation for the Al’s Union property. The documentation was received on September 22, 2023. A letter was provided that constitutes HCD’s written comments pursuant to Government Code section 54230.5 of the Surplus Land Act (SLA), for the property located at APN 115-071-001, including provisional permission to proceed with the sale or lease.
According to our letter and included documents, a Resolution declaring the property to be surplus was issued on June 13, 2023, and Notices of Availability (NOA) were sent to all the required entities on June 27, 2023. During the required 60-day period, no affordable housing entity expressed interest in the property.
HCD determines that the city has met all the requirements under the SLA for the purposes of disposing of the surplus land located at APN 115-071-001. The City is permitted to proceed with the sale or lease of the property.
The SA attorney is working on the necessary materials to transfer the property to the City for consideration at the November 28, 2023, City Council meeting.
2. Grant Earmark Request Guidance
Attachment 1 is a document that our Grant writing firm, Townsend Public Affairs, who provided that the DC office put together federal earmark timeline, suggestions, and guidance.
Hopefully those reading this item will find it helpful as the City considers its potential asks.
Please let the City Administrator know if you have any questions and how he can help or get help.
3. Website Update
Exciting news, a new website will be rolling out over the next week.
4. Potential Disaster Relief Funds for Guadalupe – Santa Barbara County On Tuesday, October 17, the City Administrator had a meeting with Santa Barbara County Community Services Department Staff to better understand the needs of the Guadalupe specifically regarding damage to the wastewater treatment plant because of the January storms. The County will be submitting a needs assessment for CDBG Disaster Recovery funds for SB County and the City of Guadalupe to State HCD.
Agenda Item No. 8.
In a meeting with State folks last week, we learned that a particular consideration is that CDBG-DR may be used for infrastructure, public facilities, and housing that was damaged or lost because of the January 2023 rainstorms. There also must be a tie to a low-income service area. More to come on this……
5. Transition Update – Guadalupe Senior Center Meal Program On Friday, October 13th, the Mayor met with the City Director of Public Safety, Finance Director, and City Administrator to discuss a transition plan after LADG terminated their senior meal services. The seniors are now receiving meals through AAA. It is going smoothly, according to the Mayor. LADG will officially be leaving the office at the end of October as they are helping with the CDBG grant reconciliations with the state. This is a short synopsis of the happenings and the Mayor may share more now and into the future.
6. Use of Food Truck for a Temporary “Farmers Market
The Contract Planning Director, Larry Appel had recent discussion with Stephanie Krouse about her desire to start a farmer's market at LeRoy Park on Fridays. The operation would involve the use of a food truck that has been converted to offer fresh veggies and fruit.
Mr. Appel told her that with just the one truck, he would handle it like he has with the various food trucks that have been permitted in the City. We just require a business license to operate. However, he told her that she would need to show that she has permission to set up in the City parking lot of LeRoy Park. She has spoken with the City and it sounded like they are going to allow her to take up 3-4 parking spaces.
She will need to have the operator submit a business license. Once it has been routed to Mr.
Appel, he’ll need to get something in writing from the City that authorizes them to operate in the park.
7. Thursday, October 19th Virtual Meeting – Check in status/timing of completion of Hwys 1 and 166 consolidation efforts
Caltrans, SBCAG, City (Todd, Mayor, Philip) and Pasadera representatives were present to discuss:
1) Caltrans-City of Guadalupe LCO Coop agreement – details to complete signing 2) City of Guadalupe/Pasadera funding agreement
3) Offer to Dedicate - comments on dedication and coordination for recording 4) Timing of above three items with Caltrans deadline to request for IIJA (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) funding
END OF REPORT
FEDERAL EARMARK FAQS
• Keep the ask in the range of $500,000 to $2,000,000. With the current congressional makeup, aim on the fiscally conservative end of the spectrum if the member office is in the minority. • Politically relevant to the member sponsor. Consider member priorities and significance to the region. • Well-defined project scope and justified cost within a reasonable range. Can provide detailed line-items of how the funding will be spent.
• Fits well into the funding account for which the project would receive the award. • Offices will be prioritizing funding requests from organizations that have not received funding in past appropriations cycles.
• Project is ready to for implementation once funds are received. Earmark funding is ideally the last piece of the funding puzzle needed to finalize a project.
o Where applicable, environmental review is complete, preliminary engineering done, site selection determined, etc.
• Appropriations Committees may have additional priorities in any given year, where possible try to narrow asks from high-demand accounts (THUD).
TIMELINE
• TPA will conduct a strategy meeting to go over guidance and help narrow down project picks based on what will be most competitive for federal earmark funding. • Work to determine final projects to pursue, TPA will be in contact with member offices on project lists.
Begin gathering letters of support from local and state elected officials, as well as community support.
Q4 2023
• TPA will collaborate with you to pull together drafts of submissions, including letters of support. • Congressional Appropriations Committees may issue changes to guidance for FY25 earmarks and general appropriations process. This will allow TPA to make any necessary changes to earmark drafts based on guidance changes, as well as set deadlines for submission.
Q1 2024
• TPA will ensure all submissions are finalized and submitted on time. • Track submissions, TPA will communicate with member offices to ensure submissions are put forward to the appropriate subcommittee and track any follow up questions that may arise. • House and Senate Appropriations Committees will consider FY25 appropriations bills. TPA will work with congressional staff to ensure earmarks receive full consideration before committee.
Q2 2024
• TPA will inform you of any changes to requests that may occur once House bills are put forth for a vote. Senate Committees will likely release their versions of bills. • TPA will Continue to communicate with congressional staff. Work with you to take advantage of district work periods to illustrate the need for specific projects with site visits. • Final funding for FY25 is due for a vote, encourage final passage of bills containing requested projects included in a House or Senate appropriations bill. Congress has not passed appropriations bills before the end of the fiscal year in more than twenty years. A CR is likely.
Q3 2024

Once the children learn how to use the cameras, they take them on a field trip to take pictures and then display the pictures at the clubhouse.
6. Adult Volleyball League
• Ms. Sanchez updated the commission on the Adult Volleyball League. Because there was no sign ups for the league, she asked the commission how they would feel about holding a one day tournament in place of the league. Ms.
Sanchez will be meeting with the drop-in volleyball group on Wednesday to discuss and receive feedback so that the tournament can accommodate everyone’s needs. Ms. Sanchez will come back to the next regular meeting with more details.
7. Jack O’Connell Turf
Ms. Sanchez shared the email that Ms. Dreiling sent her regarding plans for moving forward with the Jack O’Connell Turf project.
60-Day Projected Outlook:
City:
Please provide any relevant data on resident demographics. Specifically, if you have information on the population, average age, income, race/ethnicity, education level, health factors, etc. No need to perform any type of analysis, I just need raw data to work with.
If you are able to provide the average cost for watering Jack O’Connell that will help me build my proposal. If you don’t have the exact dollar amount, you can send me the cost of water and the total square footage of grass and I can run the numbers. If you have access to a 3-year history that would be great. Additionally, if you have a rough estimate of the total number of hours spent mowing, fixing sprinklers, etc. What is the actual cost we are spending to maintain the field? If you send me the raw estimate I can perform the analysis.
Todd, if you are able would you be able to connect me with the Grant company? The purpose would be to better understand their thoughts on turf-based projects, and let them know I am working on this effort if they come across any funding opportunities. If it could be a joint call with the grant company, the city and I that would be helpful.
Emily/Parks & Rec Commission:
I am in the process of setting up a meeting with Ashley Costa from the City of Lompoc.
She was the project manager for the Lompoc field, and she is open to talking about lessons learned, funding, etc. Once I have the meeting, I will report back to the commission.
Once we have a general idea of the raw analysis and project timeline, the next step will be for me to start analysis with the goal of starting the grant solicitation process around the first of the year.
After reading this, Ms. Sanchez shared with the commission that Ms. Dreiling and Ms.
Sanchez plan to meet with the Adam Laurent who is a representative for a cannabis retail business that is going to be setting up in Guadalupe. The idea is to meet to discuss ideas on how to raise money for this project.
8. Movie Nights
There will be a movie night on Friday, September 22nd beginning at 8:15pm at LeRoy Park. The movie being shown will be The Mask. Lobo Butcher Shop will be onsite to sell movie snacks.
There will be a second movie night on Friday, October 20th beginning at 8:15pm at LeRoy Park. The movies being shown will be Hocus Pocus and The Adamms Family.
The commission discussed making this a bigger event by adding a costume contest and maybe some small games for children to play. Ms. Sanchez will have more details and ideas at the next meeting.
9. Pumpkin Painting
The pumpkin painting event happened last year and was fun for all those that attended. Ms. Sanchez will be holding it again after early school release on Wednesday, October 25th. Ms. Sanchez is working on getting at least 30 pumpkins donated.
10.October Recreation & Parks Newsletter Additions

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of October 24, 2023
________________________________ __________________________________ Prepared by: Approved by:
Michael Cash, Director of Public Safety Todd Bodem, City Administrator SUBJECT: Adoption of the June 2023 City of Guadalupe Emergency Response and Procedures Manual RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the June 2023 City of Guadalupe Emergency Response and Procedures Manual.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Guadalupe Emergency Response and Procedures Manual (ERP) provides guidance to the Guadalupe community for responding to and managing emergency incidents. In most cases, emergency incidents are of short duration and can be managed by immediately available personnel and resources.
When the emergency incident is of longer duration, of higher severity, or requires a specialized response, this ERP will guide the efforts of the City of Guadalupe community.
In California, government agencies are required by state law to use the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) to manage their response to an emergency incident. SEMS forms a common framework of management principles and terminology to allow responders from different jurisdictions and agencies to work together toward a common goal. The City of Guadalupe has committed to the use of SEMS in emergency management. While private organizations are not required to use SEMS for managing emergencies, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services highly recommends that they do so.
DISCUSSION:
The main portion of this ERP guides the response to the great majority of emergency incidents that may occur during the year; for particular situations that have different characteristics than common emergency situations, there are specific appendices with appropriate direction. The ERP was designed as an “all-hazards” approach to managing potential emergencies in the City of Guadalupe.
City staff is asking that the City Council adopt the June 2023 Emergency Response and Procedures Manual.

Introduction
The City of Guadalupe Emergency Response and Procedures Manual (ERP) provide guidance to the Guadalupe community for responding to and managing emergency incidents. In most cases, emergency incidents are of short duration and can be managed by immediately available personnel and resources. When the emergency incident is of longer duration, of higher severity, or requires a specialized response, this ERP will guide the efforts of the City of Guadalupe community.
In California, government agencies are required by state law to use the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) to manage their response to an emergency incident. SEMS forms a common framework of management principles and terminology to allow responders from different jurisdictions and agencies to work together toward a common goal. While private organizations are not required to use SEMS for managing emergencies, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services highly recommends that they do so. The City of Guadalupe has committed to the use of SEMS in emergency management.
A major component of SEMS is the Incident Command System, or ICS. Using a modular approach to organizing personnel, functions, and resources, ICS allows emergency responders to rapidly assemble a coherent management structure in the field; additionally, ICS extends beyond the field-level response to coordinating the organization-wide response to the emergency incident. The use of additional management structures such as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the executive-level Policy Management Team (PMT) supports the emergency response in the field.
The main portion of this Plan guides the response to the great majority of emergency incidents that may occur during the year; for particular situations that have different characteristics than common emergency situations, there are specific appendixes with appropriate direction. The ERP was designed as an “all-hazards” approach to managing potential emergencies in the City of Guadalupe.
While it is necessary for the ERP to be published in this form, simplified directions for specific populations in Guadalupe can be provided via printed matter, web pages, and field operations guides. Targeted populations might include residents, employees, employers, residents, visitors, and other persons with emergency response responsibilities.

Situation and Assumptions
Situation
The City of Guadalupe has many of the characteristics, hazards, and risks associated with any small town. As a result, this ERP must account for many potential emergencies including earthquakes, fires (commercial and wild land), severe weather, hazardous materials releases, transportation accidents, and health emergencies. A coordinated response to emergency incidents in the city will result in a more rapid and effective response, resulting in the continuing ability to function as a city and community.
Assumptions
1. Individual city departments possess the technical and operational knowledge necessary to conduct day-to-day operations in their area of responsibility, and to conduct planning on behalf of their client populations.
2. Based on the possibility of monetary reimbursement for funds expended in the response to an emergency incident, this plan emphasizes documentation of emergency incidents and all actions taken by the City to minimize loss of life and injury to persons, and control property damage and loss to the greatest extent possible. Documentation includes but is not limited to still and video images, written plans and reports, receipts for funds expended, and recording of the statements of involved persons.
3. It is well known that the reduction of response time to an emergency saves lives and property. This plan emphasizes a rapid, effective response by trained on-duty employees and volunteers’ making good use of the time it takes first-responders to arrive on scene.
4. It is assumed that the most destructive and likely event with potential to cause widespread damage and casualties in the city area is a severe earthquake.
Therefore, a detailed Severe Earthquake Response Appendix is included as an essential part of the ERP.

Concept of Operations
Overview
Using the organizational and management techniques contained in the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS), the city will respond to emergency situations impacting the community to minimize:
Loss of life;
Injury and illness;
Property loss and damage;
Psychological impact; and
Damage to the City’s reputation and standing in the greater community.
The achievement of the above goals requires that rapid and decisive actions be taken in the early stages of the emergency response. Some of these actions include:
Contacting emergency responders such as police and fire personnel to exchange information and establish lines of communication;
Securing perimeters around affected areas or facilities to assure quick access of emergency responders and prevent further bystander danger; Rapid rescue of injured persons and evacuation to a safe area; Establishing an Incident Command to coordinate response and resources; Notification of key administrators and personnel;
Communicating clear messages to the community and
Assessment of available resources and immediate needs that cannot be met.
The structure of this Emergency Response and Procedures Manual (ERP) is based upon:
A flexible basic emergency response plan for all emergencies; Specific plan appendices for particular types of emergencies; Use of principles of effective Continuation of Business and Operations practices;
Coordination of the response by an Emergency Operations Center (EOC); Strategic oversight by the Policy Management Team (PMT).
During an emergency incident, City Departments and their personnel will generally be responsible for things within their normal purview, i.e., Facilities Management will be responsible for operating machinery and performing maintenance operations; however, their duty station and/or specific duties will likely be different, and they may be supervised through a different chain of command.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 9 June 2016
Additionally, the City has a clear policy regarding the authority of an Incident Commander (IC) to use city facilities, equipment, and personnel to resolve an emergency situation; the declaration of a City Emergency, with pre-defined procedures follows the example of jurisdictions throughout California.
Organization and Assignment of Responsibilities
The City of Guadalupe is generally familiar with the normal city organizational chart and lines of authority. In an emergency situation, the organizational structure and specific lines of authority will in some cases change temporarily. This altered structure, known generically as the Emergency Response Organization, is necessary to efficiently manage the tasks and resources necessary to overcome the emergency situation and restore normal operations. The following listing outlines areas of responsibility for key members and components of the Emergency Response Organization:
(Note: Incident Command System (ICS) positions below are noted in bold. Not every incident requires all of these positions to be staffed.) Mayor and City Councilmembers
Provides policy direction for the response and recovery efforts Authorizes significant expenditures necessary for response and recovery Staffs the Policy Management Team (PMT) function

Response to Emergencies
With the exception of incidents that can be predicted, (such as the forecast of a severe storm) most emergency situations occur with little or no prior notice. The first notification of an emergency situation usually arrives via a phone call or alarm activation to Public Safety. The dispatcher directs the appropriate available resources to the situation; the initial information received may dictate that an officer is dispatched; in a medical emergency, the Fire Department might be sent; or a referral to Facilities Management for maintenance might be needed.
As the incident unfolds, the response to the emergency may require notifications of key staff and administrators; call-in of specialized personnel; requests for assistance from the Police and Fire Departments; and/or calls to contractors.
In the following pages there is an outline of how the city’s first responders, the personnel in Public Safety, will respond to emergency situations affecting the City. The outline does not detail all of the specific actions to be taken by Public Safety; these details are contained in the policies, procedures, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) maintained by Police and Fire.
While use of the Incident Command System (ICS) and Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) is new to the city, it has been successfully used by federal, state, county, local, and private organizations for over 20 years. These emergency management mechanisms are considered “best practices” in the field of emergency management.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 13 June 2016
Guadalupe Department of Public Safety
The Guadalupe Department of Public Safety respond to emergency incidents affecting the city. Public Safety is the communications point for law enforcement and the fire department. These personnel have both a strategic understanding of city operations and a tactical knowledge of important information such as access control and how to work with external public first responders.
Initial Response to an Emergency Situation
1. A police officer either observes an emergency situation or is dispatched to the emergency situation by the Police dispatcher.
2. The dispatcher notifies the Supervisor of the situation at the time of dispatch, or upon learning of the situation from the officer who has observed the situation. The Supervisor has discretion as to whether they respond to the situation.
3. Upon arrival, the officer assesses the situation and may provide additional information to the dispatcher or request additional resources. These resources may include police and/or fire department resources.
4. If the officer and/or Supervisor are able to manage the situation with available resources, they will conclude their response and document the incident according to police policy, making any required notifications.
5. The Supervisor may request other city resources (such as Facilities Management personnel and/or equipment) to assist in managing the emergency situation. Depending upon the Facilities Management staffing level at the time of the request, Facilities Management personnel or contractors may be called in to manage an urgent situation. The Supervisor will consult with police and other city managers if there is a likelihood of injury, death, or property damage/loss.
Level of Emergency Determines Response
The city’s partial or total response to an emergency situation will be dictated by the type and magnitude of the emergency. Generally, response to a major emergency will progress from local, to regional, to state, to federal involvement.
For planning purposes, the city has established three levels of response to emergencies, which are based on the severity of the situation and the availability of city resources:
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 14 June 2016
• Level 1
A minor to moderate incident wherein city resources are adequate and available.
• Level 2
A moderate to severe emergency wherein city resources may not be adequate and mutual aid may be required on a larger basis. An EMERGENCY will be proclaimed and a STATE OF EMERGENCY
might be proclaimed.
• Level 3
A major disaster wherein resources in or near the impacted area are overwhelmed and extensive city, county, state and/or federal resources are required. The Mayor will proclaim a STATE OF EMERGENCY.
The Plan provides for a full emergency response by the city for an incident. However, only those sections of the response organization that are required to address the situation at the time are activated. For example, a Level One disaster occurring at the city would require minimal activation of the plan, where more serious situations would require increased activation.
Emergency Communications
The Supervisor is responsible for assuring that all important life-or property-saving information is communicated to the necessary parties as soon as possible. These communications might include use of the mass communication system to broadcast a message to one or more groups; use of a fixed or mobile public address system to evacuate a building or area; an e-mail message to predetermined recipients. Public Safety retains responsibility for disseminating critical lifesaving and property conservation communications throughout the duration of the incident.
Communications of a less urgent nature are initially the responsibility of Public Safety until Public Information/Governmental Relations assumes responsibility for this task.
Response Escalation
Based upon the nature and urgency of the emergency situation, the Supervisor (in consultation with the Public Safety Chain of Command) may need to call in and/or coordinate additional officers.
In order to effectively oversee the larger emergency response, an “Incident Command” should be established. An Incident Command is an ad-hoc organization of existing resources formed to manage an incident using the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS).
It is recommended that the Supervisor establish an “Incident Command” when one or more of the following criteria are met in relation to an incident in the city:
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 15 June 2016
A serious crime has occurred and protection of persons, property, and/or the crime scene requires additional resources; or
A situation exists that has potential for causing casualties or property damage.
Examples include suspicious mail or packages (that may contain an explosive or other harmful substance) or a hazardous materials spill, or bomb/terrorist threat; or An incident involves injuries to three or more persons or any deaths; or A structure fire or other incident causes significant damage to one or more city buildings, or a wild land fire threatens the city; or
Any situation impairing the ability of the city to conduct normal operations.
Examples may include severe weather, extended computer network or power outage, civil unrest, etc; or
An outside entity requests use of city facilities and personnel for a community disaster or other emergency incident.
Establishing an Incident Command
When there is a need to establish an Incident Command, there is a corresponding need to identify an Incident Commander, or IC. The IC, regardless of their normal role or rank as a city employee assumes temporary authority over the emergency response activities, with the accompanying responsibility. The authority assumed by the IC relates only to planning, directing, and overseeing the overall emergency response; it does not include the ability to hire or fire employees, for example. The IC retains this authority until the authority is transferred to another person (See “Transfer of Command” below) or the Incident Command is terminated when the emergency situation is resolved. Generally, the initial Incident Commander is the person that establishes the Incident Command.
Incident Name: Under the principles of SEMS, an Incident Command is usually named for a geographic point or area adjacent to the location of the incident; for example, an incident involving the Senior Center might be named “Senior Center Command.” It is important that the name be relatively specific so as not to cause confusion.
In the event of a catastrophic incident such as an earthquake, a more generic “City Command” can be established initially to coordinate the assessment of city damage and casualties; once a better picture of the situation becomes clear, the IC has the option of changing the name of the incident to better identify the most severe problems. In this scenario, when the IC learns that the most severe damage and rescue efforts are concentrated at the Senior Center, “City Command” might become “Senior Center Command” at the discretion of the IC.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 16 June 2016
Declaration of an Incident Command: Establishing the Incident Command requires a declaration by the person who is assuming charge, identifying the name of the incident and the location of the Incident Command Post:
“51S1 to Santa Maria Dispatch, I am establishing Senior Center Command in the north end of Senior Center Parking Lot.”
In this case, the Public Safety Supervisor (51S1) has notified the Public Safety dispatcher that an Incident Command has been established for the Senior Center incident in Senior Center Lot. The location of the Incident Command Post is important, as this is the place where resources (staff and supplies) will report for assignment.
The declaration of an Incident Command triggers several procedures and notifications; these notifications are based on specific situations and are detailed in Public Safety Communications procedures.
Incident Command Post: The IC must choose a location for the Incident Command Post (ICP) that is far enough away from incident-related hazards, but close enough to be able to monitor the emergency response. It is very disruptive to have to move an ICP once one is established, so the IC needs to choose his ICP carefully.
Drawing upon the above example, the ICP for the Senior Center Command should be far enough away from the building to avoid falling debris in the event of an aftershock; the general principle is to be at least as far away from the building as the height of the building. 51S1 would need to locate his ICP at least 40-50 feet from the building. Other considerations include traffic flow, proximity of supporting infrastructure (electricity, restrooms, etc).
Initial ICP’s are often patrol vehicle-based because the vehicle offers shelter from the weather or privacy for phone conversations if needed, lighting, power, and whatever supplies are carried within. As soon as is reasonably possible, the ICP should transition to a portable shelter, tent, or other non-emergency vehicle to free the Public Safety vehicle for other assignments. If a suitable space inside a safe structure is available, it may be used.
Incident Command Initial Activities: Once the Incident Command is established, the IC should begin to assess and document their available resources, immediate needs, and form a short-term action plan with specific objectives. The IC needs to resist the temptation to become overly involved with specific actions at the scene; their role in directing the overall response is much more important, and will have much more impact, than direct supervision allows.
Each Public Safety vehicle may contain an Incident Command kit, with checklists and forms to help the IC organize the initial response.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 17 June 2016
ICS-201, Incident Briefing: The initial IC uses this form to document information at the beginning of the incident, such as the incident name, initial organization of resources, and a summary of what actions have been taken. Early completion of this form allows a smooth transition of command (if applicable) or documents the entire response if the situation is resolved by the initial incident resources. Many incidents are resolved within the first operational period by the initial responding resources, and in this case the ICS-201 will be the full extent of incident command and control documentation.
ICS-202, Incident Objectives: If an Incident Action Plan (IAP) is needed based upon the complexity or duration of the incident, the IAP objectives are listed on the ICS-202.
ICS-203, Organizational Assignment List: This is usually the second page of the IAP; the ICS-203 lists the management and supervisory staff working during the operational period covered by the IAP.
Incident Action Plan
SEMS specifies the use of the Incident Action Plan (IAP) to establish measurable objectives; document resources assigned to the incident; and provide a unified plan for all employees to follow. The initial IAP may be very brief, with objectives focused on life safety and property conservation; The Incident Commander is responsible for writing the initial IAP using the appropriate forms listed above.
A new IAP is needed for each shift, or operational period. The operational period may vary, with most being either 8 or 12 hours.
If a Planning Section is staffed in the EOC, they will have primary responsibility for authoring the IAP for the following operational period, to be approved by the Incident Commander. If a Planning Section is not staffed, the IC is responsible for the required IAP. At each change of shift denoting a new Operational Period, the IC is responsible for distributing the new IAP and conducting the initial briefing.
Unified Command
Unified Command can be used when a public agency such as the Fire Department is called to an emergency in the city with police1
. While one person remains Incident
Commander, they act in partnership with a manager or administrator from the other agency to assure that resources are applied toward all operational objectives. 1 Unified Command is most useful in extended incidents (2+ days), or where the impact of the incident is widespread or significant (i.e., a large number of casualties). When a Unified IC is established, a corresponding Unified Information Center (JIC) should be arranged to assure consistent public information is disseminated. See Annex 2, Communications.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 18 June 2016
In general, the Fire Department will establish their own Incident Command if one has not been established; it is important that the City Incident Commander contact the firstresponding Fire Department Company Officer (Engineer, Lieutenant, or Captain) or Battalion Chief if one is dispatched. Joining in an Incident Command with public first responders help assure that city objectives are considered in managing the incident.
Span of Control
If additional resources must be added to the initial response, the command structure must evolve to adequately manage them. The ICS principle of “Span of Control” establishes a general worker-to-supervisor ratio that is most effective; a manageable ratio is between 3 to 7 workers per supervisor. If this ratio is exceeded, an additional supervisor must be designated to maintain an effective ratio. See Appendix F, Beyond the Initial Response:
Building the Incident Command Organization.
Transfer of Command
Whenever the Incident Commander is relieved via a shift change or other re-assignment, a formal transfer of command should be done to avoid confusion and to clearly transfer authority and responsibility between the parties. The conversation between IC’s might be:
Existing IC: “I am transferring command of the Senior Center incident to you at 6:00 PM.”
Relieving IC: “I am assuming command of the Senior Center incident effective 6:00 PM.”
This command transfer shall be recorded in the Public Safety incident or dispatch log.
Demobilization
When resources are released from working on an incident, they are termed “Demobilized” under the ICS. There reaches a point in every incident where the remaining tasks to be done, or objectives to reach are exceeded by available resources.
The incident organization will reach a similar point where it is clear that some “shrinkage” is appropriate; Units can be consolidated into Groups, Divisions can be combined, and eventually whole Sections can be dismissed, their areas of responsibility assumed by the Incident Commander until full demobilization is accomplished.
Termination of the Incident Command
Just as the establishment of the Incident Command requires an affirmative action, the termination of the Command requires formal acknowledgement:
“51S1 to dispatch”, Senior Center Command is terminated.” City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 19 June 2016
Here the Supervisor has terminated the Incident Command, and there is no longer an Incident Commander or incident organization. Observance of these formal declarations establishing and terminating commands is very important.
Documentation
The establishment of an Incident Command and associated activities must be documented after the fact; it is up to the discretion of the Chief of Police to determine the form of documentation. If funds were expended in the course of the emergency incident, documentation of the expenditures must be kept in the event that a reimbursement source is available.
After-Action Report
As soon as after the Incident Command has been terminated, a “debriefing” meeting should be arranged by the Chief of Police for EOC and/or IC personnel. The purpose of the confidential debriefing is to gather input from participants in the emergency response on what was done right, what went wrong, and suggestions for future improvement. This meeting serves a dual purpose of gathering additional information for the after-action report and helping participants to emotionally return back to normal operations. The information from the debriefing should be documented in writing, without the name of the persons who gave the information.
A formal After-Action Report should be completed, using documentation from the incident and any input gleaned from the debriefing process. The purpose of the AfterAction report is to help improve emergency response and incident management processes, and to recommend processes and/or equipment that would assist in the management of similar incidents in the future.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual

Emergency Operations Center
Establishment of an Incident Command drives the opening of the City Emergency Operations Center (EOC)2. If the incident is of such complexity that it will require coordination among various departments, or the incident is predicted to require more than 24 hours to resolve, the Incident Commander or Chief of Police will designate an initial EOC Manager to begin the EOC activation process. The EOC Manager’s primary function is the technical and logistical support of the EOC so that the management functions can be performed within. (The EOC Manager should be a SEMS/ICS/NIMS trained city employee.)
The EOC can also be activated in anticipation of a possible emergency incident, or in preparation for a planned complex event (such as parade, festival, or a major athletic event). A warning of expected severe weather or an earthquake or tsunami warning may lead to a precautionary, limited opening of the EOC. In the case of such activation, Public Safety will contact key departments to request needed staffing.
The primary location of the EOC should be pre-designated with additional office and spaces nearby for expansion; in the event that the primary location is unavailable, one of the pre-designated backups EOC locations will be used.
The EOC coordinates the efforts of all city departments working to resolve the emergency situation. Using the organizational structure defined in SEMS, tasks and responsibilities are divided among the five major organizations units: Command, Operations, Logistics, Planning, and Finance/Administration. The EOC has positions associated with each of these units;
Based upon the objectives set in the Incident Action Plan (IAP), the EOC:
Resolves resource conflicts: For example, if one truck is available but there are three requests for using it, the EOC Logistics Section Coordinator (or EOC Director, if the Logistics Section is not staffed) would prioritize the assignment of the truck based upon urgency and relation to IAP objectives.
Collects and distributes information: The Planning Section of the EOC collects information on all aspects of the emergency incident, and helps the IC forecast future resource needs and form the objectives for the IAP. Coordinates the emergency response activities: In most cases, initial response activities will focus on saving lives and conserving property; as a result, the Operations function of the EOC will likely be staffed by a Public Safety Supervisor at first. As the lifesaving activities transition into more recovery-focused activities, 2 Under the SEMS guidelines, an EOC is “a location from which centralized emergency management can be performed.” The EOC supports the field-level emergency response and recovery.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 21 June 2016
Operations may be coordinated by staff from Facilities Management or other department depending upon the nature of the incident.
Tracks costs and personnel issues: Expenditures, whether through personnel time or cash purchases are tracked for possible reimbursement from insurance, litigation, or county/state/federal disaster assistance. The Finance/Administration Section of the EOC maintains important documentation and keeps the IC, ERO, and PMT informed as to approximate ongoing costs of the response and recovery activities.
Staffing
Keeping in mind that the EOC’s main purpose is emergency management, it is important that persons who staff the EOC have significant experience in their areas of expertise, as well as intimate knowledge of city operations. In recognition of this issue, Administrators and Senior Managers are advised to make staff assignments to the EOC (and the field) with persons who can most effectively carry out their department’s functions.
Additionally, significant emergency incidents often require the EOC to be staffed 24 hours a day, making ongoing staffing a challenge.
The EOC uses SEMS guidance for organizational structure and uses the 5 “essential management” functional areas: Command (or Management), Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Administration/Finance. Staffing of one or more of these areas is at the discretion of the EOC Director.
SEMS guidance recommends that person in charge of the Command function in the EOC be designated the EOC Director, who has “overall responsibility for accomplishing the mission.” “The EOC Director may seek policy guidance on specific issues during the response. However, the EOC Director must clearly have the authority to manage the emergency response.”3 In most cases, the default choice for EOC Director for a city incident will be the Chief of Police or their designee. 3 SEMS Approved Course of Instruction, EOC Course, CA Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, 2001
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 22 June 2016
Note: It is important to clarify the roles of the Incident Commander, who supervises the field-level response, and the EOC Director, who manages the overall efforts of response and recovery and supports the efforts of the Incident Commander.
Consistent with the SEMS organizational structure, the EOC Director is supported by three “Command Staff” positions:
The Liaison Officer acts as a communications link between the EOC and other entities, such as the City’s Policy Management Team.
The Public Information Officer (PIO) provides media relations, public information, and related expertise to the EOC.
The Safety Officer provides guidance to the EOC Director and Coordinators on safe work practices for the overall response and recovery effort.
General Staff
The persons in charge of the other functional areas are called Coordinators, i.e., EOC Operations Section Coordinator, EOC Logistics Section Coordinator, etc.4 In SEMS terminology they are known as the General Staff.
Staffing of the four General Staff positions in the EOC should be as follows:
Operations Section Coordinator: This position should be staffed by a Manager or Supervisor with significant public safety, law enforcement, or facilities management experience depending upon the nature of the incident. This Coordinator will be the primary communications link to the Incident Commander in the field. Planning Section Coordinator: This Coordinator supports the overall response and recovery efforts through gathering information about the city incident and any related community incidents (i.e., earthquake), supports writing and periodic revisions of the Incident Action Plan, and forecasts needs for personnel, equipment, and supplies based on IAP objectives. Managers with planning expertise should head this Section.
4 At the field level, the managers of Sections are called “Chiefs,” and are the counterparts of the EOC Coordinator of their Section. For example, the Operations Section Coordinator in the EOC supports the Operations Section Chief at the field level. If a particular Section is not staffed either in the EOC or in the field-level organization, the EOC Director or the Incident Commander would serve as the point of contact.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 23 June 2016
Logistics Section Coordinator: This Coordinator supports the response and recovery by providing the materials, equipment, and supplies to support IAP objectives. Managers from Facilities Management would be a logical choice to oversee this Section.
Finance/Administration Section Coordinator: This functional area oversees and tracks expenditures made in relation to the emergency incident in terms of personnel hours, and equipment and supplies purchased or rented. In addition, this unit oversees any claims for employee injuries and works with the Workers Compensation carrier.
Based upon the above discussion, a basic SEMS organizational chart might look like this:
EOC Director
Administration/
Finance Operations Planning Logistics
Liaison Officer
Public
Information
Safety Officer
Crisis Management Team
(Cabinet)
Incident
Commander
Incident Command
Post
This chart demonstrates the relationship between:
The field level Incident Commander who is directly overseeing emergency work; The EOC Director, who manages and supports the Incident Commander, as well as supervises the EOC functions that support the overall effort; and The Mayor, City Council Members, and Senior Administration who provide strategic guidance and resolve policy-level issues affecting the management of the emergency incident.
Next section will explain the integration of individual city departments into the basic SEMS management structure outlined above.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual

City Departments and SEMS functional subdivisions
Because the SEMS functional areas do not correspond to our city departments, there will be some city departments whose responsibilities lie in two or more of the functional areas. For instance, while a great deal of work done through the Operations Section is completed by staff members of Facilities Management, they also have a key role in Logistics. While this may seem to be an unnecessary complication, public agencies also experience similar issues, where a county Public Works department is put in a similar situation. However, over 20 years of use of SEMS by public and private entities has demonstrated the value of its organizational approach.
Using SEMS principles, the following table describes how City Departments might fit into a fully staffed SEMS structure; note that not every incident will require a full staffing of a SEMS/ICS organizational structure. The staffing is based upon the characteristics, complexity, and extent of the emergency incident and is largely based on the discretion of the Incident Commander. Departments are depicted below having a “Functional Area 1,” or primary SEMS functional area affiliation, and a “Functional Area 2,” secondary SEMS functional area affiliation; note that some have only a primary affiliation due to the nature of their work. Unnecessarily staffing areas that are not important to the management of the incident introduces unneeded complexity to the organization.

City Organizational Units and SEMS Functional Areas
Departments or functional units not noted above will be assigned to the appropriate SEMS functional area as determined by the nature of the incident and the discretion of the EOC Director or Incident Commander.
While the majority of relationships are direct supervision, there is communication between the Incident Commander and the EOC Operations Section Coordinator in most incidents; while the Incident Commander is supervised by the EOC Director, it is the Operations Section Coordinator in the EOC who supports and obtains resources for the IC. Similarly, in the event of an earthquake there will be close communications between staff assigned to safety inspections and the Search and Rescue Team.
The flexibility and scalability of SEMS and the Incident Command System allow managers to customize the Emergency Response Organization to the situation.

Emergency Operations Center - Activation
EOC Activation
The checklists and documents needed to activate the EOC are located in the Public Safety Office or in the EOC Office. The Incident Commander will specify the location of the EOC for the incident. The IC will determine the staffing level of the EOC based upon the complexity of the incident.
1. The EOC Manager will follow the EOC Activation checklist. Notification to the City Administrator must be attempted at this time if it has not been completed; periodic additional attempts should be made until contact is successful.
2. In consultation with the Incident Commander, the EOC Manager will arrange staffing for the necessary positions of the EOC.
3. The EOC Manager will determine if any departments’ Departmental Operations Centers (DOC’s) are operational and will establish communications with any that have been activated.
4. The EOC Manager, or Planning Section (if activated) will create an “Incident Command Status Board” with pertinent incident information; this board will be updated as new information develops.
5. The EOC Manager will develop written objectives for EOC operations (EOC Action Plan), in support of the Incident Management objectives in the IAP. If it appears that the incident will last for more than 24 hours, the EOC Manager will develop a proposed staffing schedule and resource request for the Incident Commander’s review. The resource request should address needs for sleeping space, food and drinks, hygiene needs, and any other predictable need.
6. Employees arriving to staff the EOC will check in with the EOC Manager or Logistics Section for their assignments and additional information.
7. Representatives from outside agencies, such as the Fire or Police Departments, utilities, etc. should be accommodated in the EOC to the extent possible to facilitate coordination.
8. The EOC Manager will establish a planning and meeting schedule for the EOC staff; recommendations for planning and writing the IAP are included in the EOC Manager File box.
9. Shift changes should include a minimum 15-minute overlap to facilitate briefing of incoming staff by outgoing staff.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 27 June 2016
10. The Incident Commander and EOC Manager will determine when positions can be de-activated based upon the incident status.
11. The EOC Manager(s) will be responsible for completing the EOC after-action report.
EOC After-Action Reports
1. Requirements and Regulations:
The completion of an After-Action Report is part of the required SEMS reporting process. The Emergency Services Act, Section 8607 (f) mandates that the Office of Emergency Services (OES) in cooperation with involved state and local agencies complete an After-Action Report within 120 days after each declared disaster. Section 2450 (a) of the SEMS Regulations states that, "Any city, city and county, or county declaring a local emergency for which the governor proclaims a state of emergency, and any state agency responding to that emergency shall complete and transmit an after-action report to OES within ninety (90) days of the close of the incident period as specified in the California Code of Regulations, section 2900(j)." Additionally, the City will utilize the After-Action format for documenting training drills and exercises.
2. Functions of After-Action Reports:
An After-Action Report serves the following important functions:
- Source for documentation of response or drill activities. - Identification of problems/successes during emergency or training operations.
- Analysis of the effectiveness of SEMS/ICS components. - Describes and defines a plan of action for implementing improvements.
3. Responsibility for After-Action Reports;
The city official in command (or designee) of the emergency or exercise will be responsible for completing the After-Action Report. Other members of the SEMS/ICS organization may also be required to complete reports respective to their assignment. The city official will distribute the report as needed.

OES/FEMA DOCUMENTATION
A. INTRODUCTION
This information has been prepared based on the latest publication from FEMA and OES.
Applications for FEMA are processed through the state and the rules and requirements are basically the same for both agencies. The information presented here is current as of this writing. City of Guadalupe will need to request a "FEMA packet" after any federally declared disaster and follow the latest instructions. The following information is based upon the Northridge Earthquake Disaster Recovery Process.
B. INITIAL INFORMATION AND SOURCE DOCUMENTS
Obtain copies of the following University records to serve as source documents for OES/FEMA reimbursement requests.
1. Guadalupe Personnel
Timesheet or other labor document for each employee. The document must include:
~ Name
~ Social Security Number
~ Guadalupe Employee Number
~ Disaster Assignment and Summary of Duties Performed
~ Hours Worked: Regular Hours, Overtime Hours
~ Normal Work Assignment and Shift Hours
2. City Equipment and Supplies
Daily Log or other Guadalupe work document for each employee. The document must include:
~ Description of Equipment/Supplies:
~ Type, Make, Model, Size, Number
~ Unit # or Asset #
~ Disaster Assignment (Location Used)
~ Operator or Staff Assigned
~ Additional Costs (Fuel, etc.)
3. Public Agencies - Personnel and Equipment
This is for public agencies that worked in the Guadalupe response. This includes all mutual assistance personnel. The information does not need to be actual time sheets but should be an official letter from the agency with the following information (including citations of the source documents, e.g., timesheets).
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 30 June 2016
~ Agency
~ Contact, Name, Address, Telephone, Fax Number, Disaster Assignment ~ Date and Time
4. Contracted and Vended Services
Source documents for these services include contracts and invoices. If the contracts exceed $25,000, provide background documentation on bids and the City of Guadalupe approval process, if available. Request all invoices to be presented with cost itemization for equipment, supplies, and employee hourly rates. Documentation should include:
~ Contractor/Vendor
~ Contact, Name, Address, Telephone, Fax Number
~ Disaster Assignment
~ Date and Time
~ Total Amount of Services
~ Amount Required for Assignment (if Less than Total Amount of Contract)
5. Purchases
Source documents include purchase order requests and invoices for equipment and supplies purchased during the disaster response and recovery and include the following:
~ Company/Vendor
~ Item
~ Number of items
~ What Used For
~ Price per Item
~ Total Amount of Purchase
~ Guadalupe Purchase Number or other Control Number
C. FEMA PUBLIC DISASTER ASSISTANCE BRIEFING
FEMA will hold a public briefing to present the information for the FEMA Public Assistance application process. City of Guadalupe should send a representative to this meeting to listen to the information presented and obtain the application packet from FEMA. The city may submit the Notice of Interest form to FEMA at this briefing. The FEMA Declaration number will be provided at the briefing. This number will be needed for all documents and correspondence related to the application.
D. NOTICE OF INTEREST (NOI) FORM
The form is the first step in the application process. This form can be submitted by filling in (printing or typing) the names and telephone numbers of the contact person(s) for Guadalupe. This should be one or more persons who will be able to provide information to FEMA and can arrange for the FEMA field inspection teams.
The form can be submitted in person at the FEMA Briefing (mentioned above) or mailed or faxed to the Disaster Field Office (the location of this office will be announced at the City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 31 June 2016
briefing). Check the appropriate categories of damage on the NOI form. Be sure to keep a copy of the form on file.
E. EXHIBIT "B" FORM
The next submission is Exhibit "B." Follow the headings and provide brief descriptions of major areas of damage and scope of work for the repairs. The categories correspond with the sections checked on the NOI form. This form should be faxed, and a follow-up copy mailed, to the Disaster Field Office.
F. DESIGNATION OF APPLICANT'S AGENT RESOLUTION
The Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution must be passed as an official action of the Guadalupe City Council and forwarded to the Disaster Field Office. The designee must have the authority to sign for the city and receive checks from FEMA. This person now signs all future correspondence with FEMA. For Guadalupe, it is suggested that the designated agent be the Finance Officer. Have at least two official documents prepared by the City Council (one is retained as a back-up). Attach a copy of the City Council agenda or other documents verifying the action. Send one original with the attachment to the Disaster Field Officer under a cover letter. Keep the other copy on file.
G. PROJECT APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
Prepare a Project Application for Federal Assistance and have it signed by the official designee. Send this document to the Disaster Field Office either with the Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution or as a separate item. If sent separately, prepare a cover letter. Keep a copy on file.
H. VENDOR DATA RECORD (STD 204)
Submit this form to the Disaster Field Office with the forms above or under separate cover. This form is required by the state and, though it does not apply to FEMA, the state will want to see it as part their administrative process. Keep a copy on file.
I. FIELD INSPECTION
The above listed items should complete the pre-inspection submittals. Within two weeks after submitting the Notice of Interest and the Exhibit "B," FEMA will contact the person named on the NOI form to set up an appointment for a field inspection. If, after submitting the Exhibit "B," FEMA has not contacted the City of Guadalupe to arrange a field inspection, the city should contact the Disaster Field Office and try to arrange for a field inspection. If all of the work has been completed at the time of the inspection, Guadalupe can complete the documentation for the request and submit it to the inspectors.
If the work is not completed, the City of Guadalupe should be prepared to submit estimates for the work to be completed and for other reimbursable costs to the inspectors.
If this is not available at the time of inspection, the city should follow-up the inspection City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 32 June 2016
with a letter explaining that the estimates are not available and will be sent to the Disaster Field Office as soon as possible.
Initial estimates may be provided to the inspection team. Estimates are needed for FEMA to issue a Damage Survey Report (DSR). Consultant services may be needed to calculate reasonable estimates. These services may also be reimbursable, once the DSR is issued.
J. DAMAGE SURVEY REPORT
After FEMA receives estimates from Guadalupe and the report from the field inspectors, FEMA issues a Damage Survey Report (DSR) and assigns a DSR number to each site.
The site may be one location or may be the entire city.
Once the city has the DSR, if it is not already done, the rest of the documentation will need to be completed.
Three document files should always be completed for each DSR. Two should be submitted to FEMA and one kept as a duplicate. Each file should contain copies of the Notice of Interest, Exhibit "B,” Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution and Project Application for Federal Assistance forms. FEMA will process each DSR separately and will require copies of these forms for each DSR.
K. FILE DOCUMENTATION
If not already completed before the field inspection, essentially, two sets of documents must be prepared: (1) estimates, and (2) actual invoices. FEMA approves payments based on the estimates, which are the amounts recorded on the DSR. If actual costs increase, the city will be required to provide written explanations and substantial documentation for the increases. If the actual costs are less, FEMA will pay the lesser amount of actual costs Even though FEMA may not ask for the actual contract documents and other materials that are indicated here, it is best to submit them anyway. Each submittal of source documents provides detailed verification of costs and process, which streamlines the approval and payment process. Further, it reduces the need for a detailed file audit after the project is completed.
If completing the Labor Record, Force Account Equipment Record, Rented Equipment Record and Materials Record, please refer to the instructions from the State Auditor to see exactly how calculations for labor and benefits are to be done.
If presenting force account costs becomes too cumbersome a task, City of Guadalupe may want to make a business decision to only submit costs for contracted and vended services. This will significantly reduce the effort required for assembling the documentation, which may be cost effective when compared with the value of labor, benefits and materials of college staff and equipment.
In completing the forms, either attach copies of source documents such as time sheet and work logs or refer to the City of Guadalupe file name and/or number where the documents can be reviewed.
For contracted services, attach all relevant source documents or as above, refer to the file name and/or number where the documents can be reviewed. Include photographs of City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 33 June 2016
damage and work. Include descriptions of work with the photographs. (FEMA may ask for copies of photographs or permission to reproduce photographs for disaster related publications. Be prepared to provide extra prints or video to FEMA.) L. PROGRAM PROCESS
The length of time for FEMA processing and payment of requests is dependent on the City of Guadalupe construction recovery period. If outside services are used and reconstruction is completed within a few months of the disaster, the entire process may take ten to twelve months from the first field inspection to the final inspection and payment. The file should be continually updated with all transmitted letters and documents during this time.
There are a few items regarding the FEMA process that should be noted:
1. Administrative Costs
FEMA allows a percentage, (usually 3%) of the total estimate of the DSR for administrative costs. State costs will be subtracted from this allowance. The remainder is provided to the recipient to cover administrative costs. This is a percentage factor of the total DSR and is in addition to the documented costs.
2. Eligible Costs
Not all costs incurred in the disaster and recovery operations are eligible. Generally, the following costs are not covered in the FEMA Public Disaster Assistance Program:
~ EOC Staff
~ EOC Support
~Care & Shelter Operations
~ Medical Operations
~ Public Information Officer Operations
~ Off-Site Recovery Operations
~ Mutual Assistance for Any of the Above
However, exceptions are made after every disaster regarding strict eligibility. If there are any questions about these operations, check with the Disaster Field Office before the DSR is issued.
3. FEMA Reimbursement
The FEMA Public Disaster Assistance Program does not cover 100% of the eligible costs. The program provides for FEMA to reimburse 75% and the state to reimburse 75% of the remaining 25% of the project. City of Guadalupe is a Public Non-Profit (PNP) applicant and may qualify for state funding. Therefore, reimbursement is not limited to 75% of the eligible approved amount. However, OES processes the applications and requires that PNPs conform with state requirements. Additionally, verification of costs and supporting documentation must be provided for the full 100% of the project.

Further, this amount is subject to change after each disaster and for individual applications. An example of FEMA reimbursement based on a project total of $100,000 is as follows:
Total Eligible Damages: $100,000
FEMA Approved Amount $100,000
FEMA Program Reimbursement Amount $75,000
State Program Reimbursement Amount $18,750
Grantee Administrative Amount (State) $1,725
Sub-Grantee Administrative Amount $2,245
Total Reimbursement $ 87,720
Less State Admin. $1,725
Total estimate reimbursement $85,995
(The example is based on $100,000 eligible approved amount.
Deduct the state program amount for strict PNP eligibility.
4. Payments
Payments to City of Guadalupe are sent by the State Controller's Office, generally within six to eight weeks of signed approval from FEMA. Time extensions and reimbursement for expenses incurred that exceed initial estimates can be requested, via supplemental letters and supporting documentation, throughout the application process. Examples of letters are included in the packet of information from FEMA.
5. Documentation Audits
Copies of all source documents should be kept on file for at least five years from the final inspection. Generally, FEMA audits are conducted within one year of completion of the project; however, some have occurred at later times. FEMA audits require the inspection of representative source documents and may include time sheets, invoices, payment bond receipts, work orders, change order letters,
Board agendas and other information supporting expenses and proper procedures. This is not done for every project, but City of Guadalupe should be prepared. If FEMA auditors are not satisfied with the files, City of Guadalupe may be required to return funds to FEMA.
M. HAZARD MITIGATION
This application process does not address the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program that is implemented for each affected area after a disaster. Funding for the Hazard Mitigation Program is part of the congressional approval of the FEMA Public Disaster Assistance Program. The program application (and funding approval) for applicant's projects is a separate process.
The application package will be available from the Disaster Field Office after the disaster. These projects are not for damage repairs. Funding is provided for permanent City of Guadalupe

Appendix A
Severe Earthquake
Introduction
Public agencies recommend that persons who live and work in “earthquake country” be prepared to take care of their own needs for several days after an earthquake, because police and fire departments are temporarily overwhelmed by the widespread nature of a devastating earthquake. As a result, the City has to be prepared to take care of ourselves until outside help arrives.
The shaking and ground movement caused by an earthquake can cause building damage, disrupt power, gas, and communications lines, and result in injuries and death. Damage can result in immediate or delayed building collapse, fire, and release of hazardous materials. As a result, it is important to make assessments of structural integrity and safety after the shaking stops.
In the case of a severe earthquake, City staff and trained pre-identified volunteers will help building occupants evacuate buildings; provide immediate first aid and call for medical assistance for injured persons; rescue persons who can be reached in damaged structures; conduct rapid damage assessments of structures critical for emergency response and recovery; and manage the overall response to the emergency situation.
Policy
As a matter of policy, City employees, residents, visitors, and contractors will be required to evacuate their buildings after an earthquake meeting the below criteria occurs. This procedure is necessary to allow trained personnel to inspect the buildings for structural damage. If damage is observed, building access may be limited or prohibited depending upon the extent of damage.
Criteria
An earthquake is considered “severe” in any of the following cases:
The earthquake is above Magnitude 4.0, and the epicenter is located within 20 miles of City property;
Shaking is of such intensity that people lose balance and fall; Damage such as broken glass, visible cracks in walls, columns, roads, or sidewalks are observed;
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 37 June 2016
Persons are injured as a result of the shaking; or
The shaking results in fire, damage to utilities, or hazardous materials release.
Concept of Operations
Because a severe earthquake can cause massive damage and sever communications links in a short time, this procedure outlines actions that trained employees and volunteers are expected to perform automatically, without additional direction. These actions address immediate, lifesaving tasks that should not be delayed. If communications are intact, personnel can be re-directed after their initial response.
Designated personnel help building occupants evacuate their buildings when it is safe to do so, into the pre-designated assembly area.
Medically trained and Search and Rescue Team members assemble at pre-designated areas and setup a triage area and Casualty Collection Point (CCP). Injured persons from all over city are brought to the CCP, assessed, and treated or prepared for transport via ambulance. Ambulances are routed to pick up casualties and exit city. If ambulances are delayed, patients will be cared for as well as possible, and alternate transportation may be considered.
Public Safety secures the city and opens the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). After reporting to the EOC and given updates and assignments, Search and Rescue Teams respond to areas where persons may be trapped by debris and conducts searches of evacuated buildings.
Once the immediate threat to life and property is over, City Emergency Management personnel will respond to the damage caused by the earthquake in accordance with the emergency management process outlined in the ERP.
Procedure
Life Safety is always the primary concern. All initial effort should be focused on assuring that injured persons are located, rescued if they are entrapped, assessed, stabilized, and moved to a central location where licensed medical personnel can treat them and/or prepare them for transport to definitive medical care.
When a severe earthquake occurs, the following actions shall be carried out without delay:
1. The City Public Safety shall notify the City with a quick initial communication noting the occurrence of a severe earthquake.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 38 June 2016
2. The Public Safety Supervisor, utilizing available personnel and resources, shall conduct a rapid assessment survey of the City, noting any obvious damage to structures and roadways and whether any structures have collapsed. The information obtained in the assessment survey will be communicated to dispatch.
3. The Public Safety Supervisor shall assure that the dispatcher follows the notification protocol in providing an initial assessment of any city damage or injuries.
4. City employees will assist their building occupants in exiting their buildings and guide them to the designated assembly areas.
5. All City medically trained personnel, any available Health Services staff, and Search and Rescue (SAR) Team members will respond to the pre-designated triage area to assist with the set up of the Casualty Collection Point (CCP).
Instructions on CCP and triage area setup are provided through training with the EOC and ICS.
6. Once the CCP is established, personnel will communicate with Public Safety via their two-way radio, identifying the CCP as “Medical Control”; if there are known casualties in any of the assembly zones, the Public Safety will advise Medical Control5 of their location and any known information on the patients’ condition(s). Medical Control will coordinate transportation of injured patients to the CCP. All medical information and inquiries will be handled through the EOC.
7. Medical Control will advise Public Safety or EOC when injured persons may be transported to the CCP. The EOC’s Logistics Section, Transportation Unit Leader will assist with vehicle-based transportation of injured persons to the CCP.
8. Once the CCP is established, Search and Rescue (SAR) Team members will secure their equipment and proceed to their assignments. 5 The senior medical provider at the CCP will normally assume command of the CCP and be known as “Medical Control.” It is recognized that available student and staff are expected to do their best to help the situation, no matter what their prior emergency management experience.

Appendix B
Sudden Emergency, Not an Earthquake
Introduction
There may be emergency situations (other than an earthquake) that occur suddenly and have a severe impact: an explosion, wildfire, transportation accident, building collapse, or unexpectedly severe weather. The sudden and widespread nature of such an incident can temporarily overwhelm City emergency responders and cause widespread confusion.
While the emergency personnel respond to the immediate threats to life and property, other members of the City community need to assess their surrounding areas for injuries and property damage or hazards, and report through their normal organizational chain.
This is necessary to help assess what actions need to be taken, and to rapidly determine if there are persons who may be missing.
Policy
In the event of a sudden emergency (other than an earthquake) that has a severe impact on the City, City employees shall report, through any means possible and as soon as possible to their supervisor as to their personal status. If their supervisor cannot be located, they shall follow their organizational chain to a manager or administrator for their report. Managers and Administrators are responsible for reporting their employees’ status up to their supervisors, who will pass the information on to the Public Safety Department.
Procedure
1. Take any necessary lifesaving actions that can be safely accomplished, such as guiding persons out of obviously dangerous conditions.
2. Notify Public Safety of injuries or any known dangerous conditions (fire, smoke, building damage) in your area.
3. It is the personal responsibility of all City employees to report their personal status to their supervisor if possible or to a manager in their department if their supervisor is unavailable.
4. Departments should report through their internal chains of command to their supervisors. When reporting, departments should have the following information available:
a. Number and locations of injured and/or entrapped persons; City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 40 June 2016
b. Location of immediate hazards such as fire, exposed power lines, smoke, or leaking gas;
c. General description of damage observed; and
d. Approximate number of employees on city. (If employees decide to leave city, document that the employee was seen prior to their departure)
4. Monitor e-mail and the City web site (if possible) and phones for information messages.

Appendix C
City Emergency Policy
Introduction
A variety of emergency situations can create hazardous conditions on City property requiring immediate actions to save lives and preserve property. Earthquakes, fires, explosions, hazardous materials releases, and violent criminal acts may require closure of the City properties, use of classrooms, conference rooms, or office space, suspension of city activities, or evacuation of building occupants. State and local governments have the ability to declare local states of emergency pursuant to the Emergency Services Act; this policy provides similar abilities to City emergency responders.
Policy
It is the policy of City of Guadalupe to empower designated staff members with the ability to declare a City Emergency in order to save lives and preserve property. The Declaration of a City Emergency gives the declarant the temporary authority to:
1. Close the city to vehicle and pedestrian traffic;
2. Direct building occupants to immediately evacuate a building;
3. Direct occupants to remain in a secured building for their safety;
4. Temporarily suspend City activities;
5. Assume control over office space, classrooms, athletic facilities, and/or conference rooms needed to help manage the emergency incident; or
6. Evacuate portions of or the entire City if needed.
Individuals authorized to declare a City Emergency include Chief of Police; City Administrator; or the Mayor.
The authorized person declaring a City Emergency is responsible for notifications to City Administration personnel according to current policy.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 42 June 2016
Criteria
A City Emergency should be declared in situations where immediate action is needed to prevent loss of life, minimize injuries, and/or preserve property. One or more of the following criteria must be met prior to declaring a City Emergency:
A serious crime is in progress or has recently occurred and protection of persons, property, and/or the crime scene requires additional resources; or A situation exists with potential for causing casualties or property damage.
Examples include suspicious mail or packages (that may contain explosive or other harmful substances) or a hazardous materials release, or bomb/terrorist threat; or An incident involves injuries to three or more persons or any deaths; or A structure fire, aviation accident or other incident causes significant damage to one or more City buildings, or a wild land fire threatens the City; or Any serious situation impairing the ability of the City to conduct normal operations and maintain a safe working environment. Examples may include severe weather, train derailment, or power outage, civil unrest, etc.
Administrative Review
The need to continue a state of City Emergency should be reviewed at a minimum of every 12 hours by the Chief of Police, City Administrator, and the Mayor and City Concil, or their designee. The City Emergency should be cancelled at the earliest practical time.
Authority
City employees and residents are expected to cooperate fully during a city emergency, and immediately comply with all directions.

Appendix D
City Building Evacuation / Shelter in Place Policy
POLICY:
The City fire alarm and public announcement systems are a very important and effective means of alerting people to safely evacuate buildings during an emergency. After fire alarms and public announcement systems are activated, it is essential for all building occupants to evacuate and remain at a safe assembly point at least 50 feet from the building until a signal to re-enter has been given by the Public Safety personnel. The following procedures are to be followed any time a fire alarm or other means of official notice is given:
PROCEDURE:
• When a fire alarm sounds, proceed to the nearest exit marked by an exit sign.
The nearest exit may not be the way you entered the building. • If exits / stairwells are not clear or safe, go to the next closed exit / stairway.
Stairwells are an important means of exiting multi-story buildings. Therefore, fire doors should be kept closed.
• The elevators should not be used. Many elevators are programmed to shut down during a fire alarm.
• Doors and, if possible, windows should be closed and lights turned off as the last person leaves a room or area.
• When a fire alarm sounds, evacuate the building quickly, but do not run or panic. • People who walk slowly or need assistance should walk to the right side of stairwells to prevent impeding other people from exiting a building. • Leave the nearby vicinity of the building and gather at designated assembly areas at least 50 feet away, so Emergency Personnel have clear access to the building. • Proceed to designated assembly areas for your building. The designated areas should be communicated by staff member, and emergency personnel. Try to account for the people in your work areas to ensure all occupants have left the building.
• Never re-enter a building without instructions from Public Safety.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 44 June 2016
RESIDENTS:
In the event of a fire alarm or public announcement, all residents must immediately evacuate the building and gather at least 50 feet from the building in the designated assembly areas.
EMPLOYEES:
In the event of a fire alarm or public announcement, all employees must evacuate the building and go to designated assembly areas.
DESIGNATED ASSEMBLY AREA:
Outside, please stay at least 50 feet away from buildings. Whenever possible, congregate with people form your work groups. If you suspect there are still people in the building, immediately notify Public Safety personnel or local agency personnel.
We are all responsible for providing a safe working / living environment, so please review your evacuation plans by identifying your primary and secondary Exits and Assembly Areas for your groups. Reviewing this information before an incident is critical to ensure the safety of our city community.
EVACUATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
• Whenever possible, identify a partner to assist disabled people during an emergency incident. Do not attempt to lift / carry disabled people since this may cause serious injuries. Only professional rescue personnel should lift or carry disabled people.
• If the disabled people are not able to exit a building, they should be assisted by a Partner to an Area of Refuge. The Partner should evacuate and immediately notify Public Safety and Rescue Personnel where disabled people are located inside buildings.
• An Area of Refuge should have the following criteria: 1. an enclosed area, preferably with fire rated doors and walls, 2. a phone, if possible, and 3. located in close proximity to exits, stairwells or other access points for Rescue Personnel. • Call 911 from a non-city phone and identify the name and location of disabled people in an Area of Refuge.
• Whenever possible, a list will be compiled of the location of disabled people who reside or work at the City. This list will be provided to Public Safety. • If any member of the City staff wish to be identified on this list, please send your information to Human Resources.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 45 June 2016
• If you are a disabled resident, please send your information to Public Safety Department. The Public Safety Department personnel will meet with residents needing assistance to discuss their action plans during an emergency in city. • If disabled people are visiting the city, during an emergency the host should alert the Public Safety and Rescue Personnel.
Persons using crutches, canes, or walkers:
In emergency evacuations, these individuals should be treated as if they were injured. Have the individual sit on a sturdy chair, preferably a chair with arms, and follow the procedure for non-ambulatory persons discussed below.
Non-ambulatory persons:
Evacuation may not be necessary or advisable. Many stairwells are designed to provide temporary protection from fire or other danger. An able-bodied volunteer shall stay with a wheelchair user on the stairwell platform while a second person notifies emergency personnel or paramedics of the exact location of the wheelchair user. If immediate evacuation is necessary, be aware of the following considerations:
1. Wheelchairs have movable parts; some are not designed to withstand stress or lifting.
2. You may need to remove the chair batteries; life-support equipment may be attached.
3. In a life-threatening emergency, it may be necessary to remove an individual from their wheelchair. Use caution, as lifting persons with restricted mobility, may cause them bodily harm or injury.
4. Wheelchairs should not be used to descend stairwells. Use an emergency evacuation chair.
5. Non-ambulatory persons may have respiratory complications. Take them to a location away from smoke or fumes. Ask them if they have any needs or preferences.
6. Check the evacuation routes for obstructions before assisting the person to the exit.
7. Delegate other volunteers to collect the wheelchair.
8. Return the person to their wheelchair as soon as it is safe to do so.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 46 June 2016
Providing Assistance
Always consult with people in the wheelchairs, asking them how you might assist them; i.e,
1. The number of people they require for assistance.
2. Methods to remove them from the chair.
3. Taking precautions for pain, catheters, catheter-bags, limb-plasticity, braces, etc.
4. Whether a seat cushion or pad shall be brought along, should the wheelchair be left behind.
5. Whether to carry them face-forward or backward down a flight of stairs.
6. In lieu of a wheelchair, ask if they prefer a stretcher, cushioned, or padded chair, or car seat.
7. Whether paramedic assistance is required.
The Visually Impaired;
Most visually impaired persons shall be familiar with their immediate area. In an emergency situation, describe the nature of the emergency and offer to act as a “sighted guide.” Offer your elbow and escort them to a safe place. As you walk, describe where you are and advise them of any obstacles. When you have reached safety, orient the person as to where you are and ask if any further assistance is needed.
The hearing impaired:
Because persons with impaired hearing may not hear emergency alarms, alternative warning techniques are required. Two methods are:
1. Write a note describing the emergency and nearest evacuation route, “Fire. Go out rear door, to the right, and down. Now!”
2. Turn the light switch off and on to get their attention, then indicate with gestures what is happening and what to do.
SHELTER IN PLACE DURING SELECTED CITY EMERGENCIES
• During some city emergencies, it may be necessary to Shelter in Place or remain in a location where there is less risk of becoming injured.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 47 June 2016
• Whenever possible, identify a Shelter in Place location nearby your area / classroom where you and your fellow occupants should remain during an emergency.
• The Shelter in Place location should have the following criteria: 1. an enclosed area which can not be viewed from outside areas, 2. solid doors which can be locked from the inside, 3. access to a phone, and 4. large enough to accommodate the people in your area / classroom.
• If you are directed to Shelter in Place, gather your fellow building occupants in your area / classroom and proceed to the Sheltering in Place location. • Remain in the Shelter in Place location until you receive instructions from a City official, Public Safety personnel or Law Enforcement Personnel that it is safe to leave.
• Please, Shelter in Place is performed during certain types of emergencies when leaving a building may be dangerous. In all other instances, buildings should be evacuated unless notified by a City official, Public Safety personnel or Law Enforcement Personnel to remain in place.

Appendix F
Beyond the Initial Response: Building the Incident Command Organization
The ICS structure begins with the Incident Commander, or IC. The IC is responsible for managing the tactical response to the emergency and forms strategic goals in consultation with the Policy Management Team6 (PMT) when needed. It is important to note that the Incident Commander can be any qualified person; initially, the IC will likely be the Public Safety Supervisor. Upon the arrival of the Chief of Police, the Police Chief may assume the role of IC or may direct the Supervisor or other person to act as IC.
Depending upon the nature of the incident, it is possible that a Facilities Management or (or other department ICS Trained) staff person could be designated as IC.
The above graphic depicts how ICS subdivides the necessary tasks into the categories of Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration. These main subdivisions are called Sections, i.e., “Planning Section” and “Logistics Section.” ICS doctrine leaves the decision as to whether a particular Section needs to be staffed to the IC; if the IC is able to manage the tasks normally assigned to a particular section without difficulty, the IC may decide for simplicity’s sake to not staff that section. In smaller incidents, for example the IC may only designate an Operations Section and a Logistics Section, retaining responsibility for completing the tasks normally assigned to the Planning Section and the Finance/Administration Section.
The ICS Sections have the following functions:
Operations: This section oversees the personnel and resources working directly on resolving the emergency incident, i.e., victim rescues, debris clearance, etc. 6 The term “Policy Management Team “ or “PMT” refers to an ad-hoc group of City of Guadalupe Administrators, Executives, and Board Members that would help the Incident Commander set objectives for the IAP and assist in evaluating incident progress. The PMT is only needed in the case of a major incident.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 49 June 2016
Logistics: This section provides the materials, services, and facilities needed to support incident operations; For example, this section would provide fuel for the bulldozers clearing debris, coordinate feeding and housing personnel working on the incident, etc.
Planning: Responsible for the collection, evaluation, and dissemination of tactical information (internal to the incident organization) related to the incident, and for the preparation and documentation of Incident Action Plans. The Section also maintains information on the current and forecasted situation, and on the status of resources assigned to the incident.
Administration/Finance: This section tracks incident expenses, personnel time, and any medical or workers compensation claims related to the incident.
Note that there is ongoing interaction between the above sections; for example, in a debris clearance operation the IC sets the clearance objectives; Operations directly specifies the clearance tactics and provides supervision; Planning predicts the time when the task will be completed based upon information from Operations, and helps the IC set objectives for the next operational period; Logistics assures the equipment clearing the debris is fueled, staffed and maintained; and Administration/Finance tracks fuel and others costs and reports this information to the IC.
The Operations Section
This section tends to be the first to be staffed in an unfolding incident, because the first responders to the emergency are organized within. The IC will designate an Operations Section Chief to supervise these personnel, even if they are not within the normal Public Safety chain of command. For instance, the Incident Commander might initially have two Police Officers, two Facilities Management mechanics, and a Health Center worker at his disposal; even though the Facilities Management personnel are not normally supervised by Public Safety, in this situation they will take the legitimate direction of the Incident Commander from Public Safety.
The IC may retain direct supervision over response personnel until the number of personnel exceeds the Span of Control guidance of 3-7 per supervisor; the designation of an Operations Section Chief by the IC allows the IC to maintain appropriate supervision over the entire incident, while assuring that the responder personnel are adequately supervised.
General Staff
The major ICS organization units (Operations Section, Logistics Section, Planning Section, and Administrative/Finance Section) are known as the “General Staff,” each headed by a “Chief.” The Incident Commander has the discretion to staff all or only some of the Sections, based upon the complexity and characteristics of the incident.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 50 June 2016
In the initial stages of a response, the IC may only need the assistance of one additional ICS position, the Operations Section Chief7
. The Operations Section typically oversees
the personnel and resources directly addressing the emergency incident; for example, a windstorm might knock down trees on city, damaging buildings and blocking streets. In this case the Operations Section would include Public Safety Officers who redirect traffic and secure areas; Facilities Management personnel and equipment clearing debris; and any other department’s personnel directly assigned to assist. Even though the personnel may be normally assigned to different City departments, they are all part of the Operations Section for the purposes of managing this particular incident and are managed by the Operations Section Chief.
The ICS principle of “Span of Control” limits supervisors to 3-7 subordinates, with 5 subordinates as the ideal limit; when additional personnel are required that exceed the normal span of control, additional supervisors should be designated, or an additional category or level of supervision may be required. Experience has demonstrated that this is the best way to maintain responder safety and manage incident objectives. 7 Under ICS, levels of supervision have designated titles; managers at the level below the IC are known as “Section Chief;” other levels may be designated “Branch Director” or “Unit Leader,” etc. depending upon their functional area.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 51 June 2016
ICS standard terminology defines subdivisions of the 4 major sections:
Branches: A Branch is used to designate geographic or functional areas of organization, below the level of Section. For instance, the Operations Section might be divided into a Rescue Branch, a Debris Clearance Branch, and an Emergency Medical Branch. Another use of Branches would be to divide Operations geographically; in this case we might have a West Main City Branch and an East Main City Branch. ICS denotes the manager of a Branch as a “Branch Director.” Groups: If further organization of functional areas of operation is needed below the Branch level, Groups can be designated: Medical Group, Search and Rescue Group, etc. ICS denotes the manager of a Group as a “Group Supervisor.” Divisions: If further organization of geographic areas of operation is needed below the Branch level, Divisions can be used: for instance, in the West Main City Branch could be subdivided into the Child Development Center Division and Automotive Building City Division desired. ICS denotes the manager of a Division as a “Division Supervisor.”
Units: If further organization is needed below the Group or Division level, Units are used to designate specific functional areas (often at the field level). For instance, the Search and Rescue Group might contain Search and Rescue Units 1-4, each of which would have a designated “Unit Leader.”
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 52 June 2016
Command Staff
The Incident Command System specifies three “Command Staff” positions to assist the Incident Commander:
Public Information Officer: This person or persons interacts with news media, as well as prepares press releases and disseminates public information in support of the IAP objectives. City Community and Governmental Relations fill this role, and their staff may be present at the EOC, Incident Command Post, or at a separate predesignated site. Liaison Officer: Traditionally, this person or persons interacts with cooperating and assisting agencies in an emergency response. The Liaison Officer is primarily a communications link between the Incident Commander and City Administration; the Vice President for Business and Finance or their designee would fill this position.
Safety Officer: This person identifies, assesses, and monitors safety hazards as part of the response and recovery. This position may have several assistants when incident-related work is geographically dispersed.
ICS Forms
Documentation is a critical part of incident management; written plans are easily distributed via e-mail and hard copy and assist in keeping staff focused on the incident objectives. The most commonly used ICS forms are described below, and are contained in the EOC kits and Supervisor kits:
ICS-201, Incident Briefing: The initial IC uses this form to document information at the beginning of the incident, such as the incident name, initial organization of resources, and a summary of what actions have been taken. Early completion of this form allows a smooth transition of command (if applicable) or documents the entire response if the situation is resolved by the initial incident resources. Many incidents City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 53 June 2016
are resolved within the first operational period by the initial responding resources, and in this case the ICS-201 will be the full extent of incident command and control documentation.
ICS-202, Incident Objectives: If an Incident Action Plan (IAP) is needed based upon the complexity or duration of the incident, the IAP objectives are listed on the ICS-202.
ICS-203, Organizational Assignment List: This is usually the second page of the IAP; the ICS-203 lists the management and supervisory staff working during the operational period covered by the IAP.
ICS-204, Division/Group Assignment List: As the number of personnel assigned to the incident increases, the organizational structure becomes more complex. The ICS-204 helps the IC document multiple divisions working in the Operations Section. For instance, the Operations Section might contain a Rescue Group, a Damage Control Group, and a Medical Group; an ICS-204 would be completed for each of the Groups and would document the personnel assigned and specific actions that the Group will take in support of the incident objectives. ICS-206, Incident Medical Plan: This form documents the plan for medical treatment of responders to the incident (the plan for treatment of victims of the incident is made by the Operations Section and is part of the IAP Objectives). ICS-211, Check-In List: This form helps document persons reporting for duty. The information is provided to the Planning Section (to the Resources Unit if staffed) to help the IC track personnel assigned to tasks, and personnel available to be assigned.
ICS 215a, Incident Action Plan Safety Analysis: The Safety Officer uses this form to communicate identified safety and health issues to the Operations and Planning Sections.

Potential Threats to City of Guadalupe
The City is at potential risk for a number of threats. The following threat assessments identify and summarize the potential hazards that could impact the City and outline the City’s planned response to each:
Threat Assessment 1: Civil Disorder
Threat Assessment 2: Earthquake
Threat Assessment 3: Fire
Threat Assessment 4: Flood
Threat Assessment 5: Hazardous Material Incidents
Threat Assessment 6: Utility failure (Electrical, Water or Gas) Threat Assessment 7: Terrorism
Threat Assessment 8: Aircraft Incident
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 1 - Civil Disorder Threat Assessment: A riot or civil disturbance that threatens the safety of persons or destruction of property will/may immediately require a law enforcement mutual aid response because of the current staffing available in the Police Department.
Planned Response: The incident will be assessed for an appropriate response and activation of the EOC. If time is available, immediate requests for mutual aid will be made through approved channels. Attempts will be made to identify and meet with organizers of the event. If the riot or major civil disturbance is an instantaneous reaction, all efforts will be made to protect lives and property until resources arrive to manage the emergency more effectively.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 55 June 2016
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 2 - Earthquake
Threat Assessment: The City is within the probable area of strong ground motion and is likely at some point to experience a major earthquake involving possible landslides, ground rupture and damage to buildings and which may affect transportation and communication routes. The major fault in the area is The San Andreas Fault. This fault is capable of producing a magnitude 8.3 or larger earthquake. It is also one of the most likely faults to rupture in California.
Planned Response: The following summarizes the major operations in response to an earthquake. When a major earthquake occurs, the City notification system will be initiated by the Chief of Police or a designee. Full or partial activation of the City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will depend upon damage to the City and potential hazards. When the EOC is activated, a direct line to the county- or citywide EOC will be maintained.
Damage assessment teams will be sent to survey the City for injured people, building damage, chemical and electrical hazards, and resource requirements. Assessment teams will continue until all City buildings are identified as safe before re-entry.
Rescue operations may be required to assist trapped and injured persons. Emergency medical care will be provided to injured persons. Food and temporary shelter may be provided until the City is restored to normal operations.
In the event of major damage and injuries, classes may be canceled and protective measures will be taken. Extensive damage or threats from secondary hazards (e.g., hazardous materials) may require the City to be evacuated. Residents, and staff will be notified of the necessity to evacuate. Any evacuation will be coordinated with the Santa Barbara County Emergency Operations Centers.
If evacuation is not possible, shelter facilities will be announced and staffed.
Assistance will be provided for disabled persons and children.
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 3 – Fire
Threat Assessment: Moderate vegetation (adjacent open areas) and structure fires are a significant hazard and concern for the City. An uncontrolled fire could quickly spread to the City perimeter and even city buildings.
Planned Response: The City relies on the Public Safety Fire Department for primary fire services. In the event that a fire is reported on City property or in the immediate surrounding area, a Public Safety Officer will be dispatched to the scene to confirm the report. If fire is confirmed, Public Safety Dispatch will initiate the Fire Department call-out. The officer on the scene will establish an Incident Command Post and begin the process of managing the incident until relieved by the City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual

Fire Department command. If the fire is an imminent threat to life or structure, the EOC may be activated.
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 4 – Flood
Threat Assessment: Flooding in the City area will typically be the result of torrential rains. Water damage will probably be confined to ground floor areas and for short periods of time. However, flooding of parking areas and public streets may isolate areas of the City for longer periods of time. Usually there will be advance warning as water rises. Close coordination with local authorities and constant vigilance of areas will be necessary to minimize danger to persons, damage to property or loss of equipment. One of the greatest hazards will be electrical grounding of equipment and power lines. Explosions could occur from extinguished gas flames or weakened boilers.
Planned Response: The following summarizes the major operations in response to flooding. Since advance warning of flooding conditions can usually be anticipated, the EOC will be activated if conditions warrant determining the necessary action to be taken. When required, all staff, and residents except those necessary to assist in the emergency will be evacuated if time permits. Prior to this evacuation, freeway and street conditions will be ascertained and announced by the City. Shutdown procedures of the areas that may be affected by flooding are of primary consideration to prevent fire, explosion, and electrical hazards. Pumping will begin as soon as water levels threaten. Any area flooded or evacuated will be sealed off by barricades or Public Safety personnel to prevent injury to persons, pilferage, and interference with emergency operations.
Injured or ill persons will be treated by Fire personnel or, if necessary, taken to hospitals. Under more severe conditions, outside ambulance service may be impossible to request; therefore, other means of evacuating serious cases will be considered.
Once the dangerous conditions have been reduced, immediate attention will be turned to minimizing damage or loss to property and equipment by water. Protective sandbags will be used where feasible. Teams will be organized to remove material and equipment to safety. Other personnel will be assigned to provide early warning of rising water in various areas of the City. Damage assessment will be continually reported to the EOC.
In extreme cases of flooding where outside areas are affected and travel disrupted, it may be necessary for some persons to remain at city shelters for an unusual length of time. Lodging, food service, and lighting will be required.
When the water has subsided and the threat of further flooding diminishes, repair operations will receive primary consideration. Priorities of work will be assigned to restore City generators at the earliest practicable time. Completion of this work may City of Guadalupe

involve restoration of public utilities, electrical and machinery areas, specialized areas such as the computer areas, the switchboard area and other support facilities.
Material and equipment removed must be returned to its original location. In addition to an increase in manpower, assistance required at this time may include food services, emergency procurement and provisions for emergency expenditure of funds.
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 5 – Hazardous Material Incident
Threat Assessment: Hazardous materials are found on City property but generally in small quantities. An accidental release of such materials would pose a threat to individuals only in the immediate vicinity. Such a release could occur because of fire, explosion, earthquake, aircraft accident or flood. Petroleum fuel used for City vehicles are the only large quantities of a hazardous material on or transported through the City.
Planned Response: Off-City Incident
A major hazardous materials release in close proximity to City property that could require sheltering or evacuation of all or part of the city. A sudden release of hazardous materials may allow little time for an organized response. The appropriate reaction may be advising people to go indoors; close doors and windows; shut down heating, air conditioning and exhaust systems; and seal any openings, as feasible. If circumstances permit, the city population may be directed to designated shelters.
Assistance will be provided for disabled persons and children.
If time permits, evacuation may be the most appropriate protective action to take.
Evacuation would most likely occur on notification from county or city officials responsible for managing the incident. The implementation of this protective action at the City will be closely coordinated with the county or city EOC to ensure the timely integration of the traffic flow from City facilities into the routing designated by the county/city.
The City EOC Commander will instruct the City community to leave city through specific routes. One or more egress routes may be considered unsafe because of proximity to the incident. Traffic will be controlled and monitored within City property and at the access/egress control points. An estimate will be made of the number of people/cars leaving the city. This estimate will be reported to the county / city EOC.
Priority use of available City transportation resources will be allocated first to the disabled and children and then, to the extent available to other persons in need. If additional transportation resources are needed, they will be requested through the county / city EOC. The City EOC Commander will confirm City evacuation with the county / city during the evacuation for the purpose of judging the progress and at the City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 58 June 2016
end to ensure completion. Perimeter and security control of City property will be established. The area will be checked to ensure that everyone is evacuated.
Planned Response: On-City Incident
An on-city incident is unlikely to require the evacuation of more than a small area of the city. Individuals in the hazardous area will be warned and directed to leave the area. Public Safety personnel will establish an appropriate perimeter around the incident. The City’s Risk Management/Health and Safety Officer will be notified and will be responsible for advising on further actions. Any injured, exposed, or ill persons will be treated at the Fire Department or transported to a hospital.
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 6 – Utility Failure (Electrical, Water or Gas)
Threat Assessment: Electrical utility failure most often occurs during major storms and is generally a result of problems unrelated to events on city. Electrical utility failure can have a significant impact on city projects and the conduct of work schedules. If the utility failure is water, the effect on the city could become very significant in a short period of time. A water failure could present a health problem that would require activation of the EOC and coordination with County Public Health. Disruption of natural gas utilities could have significant impacts on City functions. Utility failures can shut down electricity around city, water in the bathrooms and food services. Any and all these could result in suspending works and City closure.
Planned Response: In the event of an electrical utility failure, the EOC will be activated to an appropriate level to restore electricity. Any backup generators located around city would temporarily provide power. If the electrical failure will influence work scheduling, the City EOC may activate to manage the emergency. In the event of a water utility failure, the first step in the City response will be assessment of the extent of water failure and period of time the City will be without water. If it is determined that the City will be without water for 12 hours or more, the City EOC may activate. An immediate action plan will include notifications to the City community and surrounding communities to minimize health hazards until water utilities are restored. In the event of a gas utility failure the type of disruption, planned or unplanned, will dictate the type of response. In an unplanned disruption that creates an immediate threat to life, structure or other property, the Public Safety, local police, and fire will be dispatched to manage the threat. An EOC activation will manage the process of restoring gas utilities to their normal state.
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 7 – Terrorism
Threat Assessment: Terrorism continues to present a threat at the federal, state, and local levels. However, terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets, so the potential danger to City of Guadalupe City is important to recognize.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 59 June 2016
Terrorism could potentially result not only in a disruption and/or temporary suspension of work location but could also affect services, infrastructure, and life at City of Guadalupe.
Planned Response: The City relies on the Homeland Security Threat Advisory to assess the threat level and response during normal circumstances. An initial response to a specific and credible threat could include (but is not limited to) cancellation of work schedules, suspension of services, and temporary restriction of access to City facilities. Additionally, all staff and residents may be asked to show an ID to get into buildings or access points and may be required to carry ID at all times. In the event of a terrorist incident, City officials will coordinate with city, state and federal authorities and follow Homeland Security guidelines and response measures.
Threat Assessment & Planned Response 8 – Aircraft Incident Threat Assessment: City of Guadalupe is located in the proximity of the Santa Maria Airport in Santa Maria. While City of Guadalupe does not lie within the flight paths of some aircraft, it still does present an overall high level of danger to the City.
Still, an aircraft crash could occur on City property without notice. The extent of the incident would dictate the level of response.
Planned Response: If the crash site involves major injuries or death on City property, the EOC will activate to manage the incident. Fire and rescue units will be activated and a Field Command Post will be established. During the incident Public Safety will isolate and contain the incident, conduct evacuations where appropriate, and assist Federal, State, and local authorities.
Bomb Threat/Suspicious Object
All staff members and contract personnel who answer published telephone numbers should be briefed on the procedures for handling bomb threats. Bomb threat checklist forms should be available to all office personnel and should be kept available for use at any time. This form will assist in evaluating the threat and possibly identifying the caller.
The potential for bomb threats exists at all businesses and public facilities. Even though very few bomb threats actually involve the placing of a bomb, all threats must be taken seriously.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 60 June 2016
Definitions
Bomb: An explosive device fused to detonate under specified conditions. This includes Molotov cocktails, firebombs, and all military ordinances such as hand grenades.
Threat: An indication of something impending, an expression to inflict fear, injury, or damage.
Bomb threats can be delivered in a variety of ways. The majority of threats are made by telephone. Two possible explanations for a person initiating a bomb threat are:
1. The caller has definite knowledge or believes that an explosive or incendiary bomb has been or will be placed and he/she wants to minimize personal injury or property damage. The caller may be the person who placed the device or someone who has become aware of such information.
2. The caller wants to create an atmosphere of anxiety and panic which will, in turn, result in a disruption of the normal business activities at the building/floor/suite where the device is purportedly placed.
Non-Specific Threats
Non-specific threats are the most common type. The caller simply advises that there is a bomb somewhere in city.
Specific Threats
A specific threat is less common, but more likely to involve an actual device. This type of threat usually provides information regarding the bomb, its placement, its construction, the rationale behind the attack and/or detonation time. The caller may also indicate knowledge of the physical layout of the site, particulars about city business, name an individual as a target or identify him/herself as a representative of a terrorist organization.
When a specific threat is received, serious consideration must be given to the possibility that an actual explosive device may be present.
Office Staff Procedures
1. When a call is received: Remain calm and retrieve your “Bomb Threat Checklist”.
2. Request a co-worker to call Public Safety.
Do not use the word “bomb” over the two-way radios unless needed.
3. If time allows, try to be friendly and congenial with the caller. Do not be insulting, angry or argumentative. Note the caller’s telephone number if displayed by caller I.D.
City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 61 June 2016
4. Encourage conversation and try to keep the caller talking as long as possible to get as much information as you can by following your Checklist. Ask him/her to repeat the message. Write down every word spoken by the caller.
5. If the caller does not indicate the location of the bomb or the time of detonation, ask him/her for this information.
6. Pay close attention to background noises that may provide a clue as to the location of the caller.
7. Listen closely to the voice: male or female, voice quality, calm or excited, accents and any speech impediments.
Search Team Procedures
It is extremely important that individuals involved in a search be instructed that their only mission is to search for and report suspicious objects. Under no circumstances should anyone move, jar, or touch a suspicious object or anything attached to it. The removal or disarming of a bomb will be completed by the local law enforcement bomb squad.
When a suspicious object is discovered:
1. Do not touch or move the object. Note its description and exact location.
2. Since some bombs or devices are activated by radio signals, all two-way radio transmissions and cell phone use will be prohibited in the immediate area of the suspicious object or device. To send a message or make a call, either use a land line or move away from the area within line of sight of the object before transmitting via two-way radio or making a cell phone call.
3. Notify Public Safety or the person in charge of the search if different.
4. Secure the entry to the location until further directions have been received from responding authorities. Be prepared to provide all information to the responding authorities.
5. Re-entry into the areas controlled should not be permitted until the device has been removed or disarmed and the school is declared safe for re-entry by the responding authorities.

“ACTIVE SHOOTER” INCIDENTS OCCURRING ON CITY
Active Shooter Defined:
• The situation is a barricaded suspect(s) or an outdoor movement situation where the suspect(s) is actively discharging a firearm at Law Enforcement or Community members and or randomly firing into an area where it is reasonably expected that persons could be struck by the suspect(s) fire. These situations leave little or no time for proper planning and normally require first arriving Law Enforcement units to take immediate action to end the danger.
In the Classroom or Office:
• If you are in a classroom, room, or office, STAY THERE, secure the door. • If the door has no lock and the door opens in, a good heavy door wedge can be kept on hand and driven in as hard as you can, otherwise look for heavy furniture to barricade the door.
• If the door has a window, cover it if you can.
• Depending on the gunman’s location, consideration may also be made to exit through window openings. Have someone watch as you get as many residents out of the windows (ground floor) as calmly and as quietly as possible. • If no Police units are yet on the scene move well away from the incident and find safe cover positions (not the parking lots) and wait for the police to arrive. • If officers arrive on scene, community members should get out and move toward any Police vehicle when safe to do so while keeping their hands on top of their head and do exactly and immediately what the Police tell you to do. • Don’t leave the area entirely, you may have information that responding Police Officers will need. Once in a safe place, stay put.
• If the windows don’t open, or you cannot break them, or you are not on a ground floor, get out of sight from the door and stay low and quiet.
In Hallways or Corridors:
• If in the hallways, get in a room that is not already secured and secure it. • Unless you are very close to an exit, don’t run through a long hall to get to one, you may encounter the gunmen or hostage taker. Don’t hide in the restrooms! City of Guadalupe
Emergency Response & Procedures Manual
________________________________________________________________________ Emergency R & P Manual 64 June 2016
In Large Rooms or Auditoriums:
• If in a gym or theater area and the gunmen or hostage taker/s are not present, move to and out the external exits and move toward any police unit. Again, keeping your hands on your head. Do what the police tell you! Trapped with the Gunmen:
• If you are trapped with the gunmen, don’t do anything to provoke them. If they are not shooting, do what they say and don’t move suddenly. Only you can draw the line on what you will or will not do to preserve your life or the lives of others. • If they do start shooting people, you need to make a choice, (at this point it is your choice) stay still and hope they don’t shoot you, run for an exit while zigzagging, or even attack the shooter. This is very dangerous, but certainly no more than doing nothing and dying in place. A moving target is much harder to hit than a stationary one and the last thing that the shooter will expect is to be attacked by an unarmed person. Any option chosen may still result in a negative consequence. • Again, this is not a recommendation to attack the shooter but rather a choice to fight when there is only one other option.
Open Spaces:
• Stay alert and look for appropriate cover locations. Brick walls, large trees, retaining walls, parked vehicles and any other object which may stop firearm ammunition penetration, may be utilized as cover.
Important Note!
These safety tips and guidelines are not all inclusive, but if understood and followed up with periodic reminders and training when feasible, it can increase your chances of surviving an active shooter incident.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GUADALUPE
Agenda of October 24, 2023
__________________________________
Prepared by:
Todd Bodem, City Administrator
SUBJECT Authorize Mayor to execute a new Employment Agreement with Michael Cash RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize Mayor Julian to execute a new Employment Agreement with Michael Cash.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council and City Administrator recognize that maintaining a strong salary structure is imperative to stay in line with the local labor market, attracting and retaining talent. A review of management salaries was analyzed to determine if current competitive ranges are balanced and if internal equity needed reform. As the City entered negotiations to renew the Director of Public Safety’s employment agreement, it became evident that a salary increase for the position was needed. Current Chief of Police Officers in neighboring communities receive a base salary of $140,000-$175,000. The Director of Public Safety has an expanded role that fulfills Chief of Police and Fire Departments, Emergency Preparedness, and Code Compliance
DISCUSSION:
Chief Cash currently earns a base salary of $138,540.48 ($66.606/hr.). The City Council and Chief Cash agreed to a new two (2) year employment agreement with an increase of base salary over the next two years. In the first year of the new agreement, the Chief’s base salary will increase to $148,940.48 ($71.606/hr.), which is about a 7.5% increase over his current salary. In the second year of the agreement, his base salary will increase to $159,340.48 ($76.606/hr.), which is approximately 7% percent increase over the base salary amount of the first year of the two-year agreement.
Aside from this base salary increase, not other significant changes to the current employment agreement were made. (See Attachment 1 – the new employment agreement). The attached employment agreement sets forth the various terms and conditions of his employment, his compensation and benefits, and other provisions required by law. In summary, the agreement is a two-year term, with the recognition that the Director of Public Safety position serves at the will of the City Council (subject to payment of six (6) months’ salary if the agreement is terminated without cause). Health benefits match those provided to other employees of the City. The agreement provides that
