SUBJECT:
Adding Mother’s Day Event, Women’s History Month and Women’s Health Resources Fair to the list of City Sponsored Events.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
The Staff Recommends that the City Council Approves Mother’s Day Event, Women’s History Month and Women’s Health Resources Fair to the List of City Sponsored Events.
DISCUSSION:
During the March 14, 2023 regularly scheduled City Council meeting, Councilwoman Katrina Manning proposed adding three women’s events to the list of City Sponsored Events. The additions to the current list of City Sponsored Events would authorize certain benefits for the three events.
One such benefit is that pursuant to Resolution No. 8368, each City Councilmember can contribute up to $2,000 from the General Fund. Resolution No. 8368 was adopted in June 2022 and increased the budget allocation to $2,000 for each Councilmember to be used only for approved community events. However, it cannot be used for events in which an elected official is a board member of a group that is sponsoring or co-sponsoring the event. If approved, the eligible list of approved events would be as attached Exhibit A.
Another benefit of adding the proposed events to the list of City Sponsored Events is that under the City’s Communication Policy (Resolution No. 8195), the events can be announced through the “Municipally Sponsored Electronic Announcement Site” and “Municipally Distributed Communication.” A summarized definition of the two communication methods are the use of the City’s website, social media, the preparation and distribution of announcements and the use
of the City Seal and letterhead.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds required for this project are available in the current fiscal year's adopted budget.

AGENDA BILL
For the meeting of March 28, 2023
Originating Department: Police
City Manager: __________
Vontray Norris
Interim Chief of Police: ___________
Gary Tomatani
SUBJECT:
Appropriation of $76,192.50 from the Police Department Budget, 100-2102-205-0-0-45154, for the Purchase of two (2) Vigilant Solutions Trailer Chassis; and Approval of a Purchase Order in the Not to Exceed Amount of $76,192.50 to Vigilant Solutions, LLC for the Purchase of Vigilant Solutions Trailer Chassis RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve an appropriation of $76,192.50 from the Police Department Budget (100-2102-205-0-0-45154) and approve a purchase order in the Not to exceed amount of $76,192.50 to Vigilant Solutions, LLC for the Purchase of two (2) Vigilant Solutions Trailer Chassis.
DISCUSSION:
Vigilant is the sole provider of equipment for our existing automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) network within the City, utilized by the Police Department, to increase the level of safety for the community and City staff. The system allows information to be provided to officers in the field, in real time, that they might otherwise be unaware of, and provides investigators with an additional potential solution to identify a potential suspect of a crime.
The Vigilant trailer is equipped with solar 2-Camera automated license plate reader (ALPR) with certified speed radar and messaging board. The mobile trailer Vigilant camera trailer(s) will moved throughout the City help control traffic and reduce speeding. These camera trailers can easily positioned throughout the City and moved based on the needs of the City to help control traffic.
The Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant program provides financial assistance to address
the unique multidisciplinary planning, operations, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas. It also assists in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. The UASI 2020 grant program will fund this effective investigative tool as part of the grant awarded to the City on May 24, 2021.
The Police Department is requesting a purchase order in order to buy a Vigilant Solutions. Vigilant Solutions (a Motorola product line) is the sole manufacturer of Automatic License Plate Recognition products. Vigilant Solutions is only ALPR vendor able to supply commercial ALPR data. The Vigilant Solutions ALPR systems are currently being used by many public safety law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. As of March 14, 2023, Vigilant Solutions (“Vigilant”) is the sole source provider of Vigilant Solutions products and services for the Hawthorne Department. In keeping with the Department’s desire to be able to provide a higher level of service to both community members and City employees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An appropriation of $76,192.50 from the Police Department’s budgeted fund is required for this purchase. The contract costs will be offset by UASI 2020 grant funding. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities.

SUBJECT:
Join the South Bay Cities Council Of Governments in opposing SB 423 (Wiener) Streamlined Housing Approvals: Multifamily Housing Developments. (Reyes English) RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff Recommends that the City Council discuss and vote to either join Cal Cities in opposing SB 423 or take no action.
DISCUSSION:
SB 423 would greatly expand SB 35 (Chapter 366, Statutes of 2017) provisions and eliminate the Jan. 1, 2026 sunset date, permanently requiring cities to ministerially approve certain housing projects without public input or environmental review.
SB 35, which came into effect 2018, requires cities and counties to streamline review and approval of eligible affordable housing projects through a ministerial approval process. This exempts such projects from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The process also does not allow public hearings to consider the merits of the project; rather, only design review or public oversight of the development is allowed, which must be objective and strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria required for streamlined projects as well as objective design review of the project SB 423 would double-down on the recent trend of the state overriding its own mandated local housing plans by forcing cities to approve certain housing projects without regard to the needs of the community, opportunities for environmental review, or public input. While it may be frustrating for some developers to address neighborhood concerns about traffic, parking, and other development impacts, those directly affected by such projects have a right to be heard. Not having such outlets will increase public distrust in government and result in additional ballot
measures limiting housing development.
Cal Cities has asked that it’s members join with it in opposing yet another attempt at top-down, one-size-fits-all legislation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

RE: SB 423 (Wiener) Streamlined housing approvals: multifamily housing developments:
SB 35 (Chapter 366, Statutes of 2017) Expansion.
Notice of Opposition
Dear Senator Wiener:
The City of Hawthorne writes to express our opposition to your measure, SB 423, which would greatly expand SB 35 (Chapter 366, Statutes of 2017) provisions and eliminate the Jan. 1, 2026 sunset date.
On any given day, newspaper headlines in California and across the nation are highlighting the state’s growing housing supply and affordability crisis. Seven in ten Californians view housing affordability as one of the top problems in their community, and there is growing concern from residents that housing prices are so expensive, younger generations will be priced out of ever being able to buy a home.
Local leaders are working to find creative solutions so homes of all income levels can be built.
They’re taking on these difficult and complex tasks, and in many cases successfully planning for more than 2.5 million new homes statewide, all while navigating the state’s annual barrage of overreaching housing bills that have thus far demonstrated limited success.
SB 423 is the latest overreaching bill. This measure would double-down on the recent trend of the state overriding its own mandated local housing plans by forcing cities to approve certain housing projects without regard to the needs of the community, opportunities for environmental review, or public input. While it may be frustrating for some developers to address neighborhood concerns about traffic, parking, and other development impacts, those directly affected by such projects have a right to be heard. Public engagement also often leads to better projects. Not having such outlets will increase public distrust in government and result in additional ballot measures limiting housing development.
Instead of continuing to pursue top-down, one-size-fits-all legislation, lawmakers should partner with local officials. That’s why the League of California Cities is calling on the Governor and lawmakers to include a $3 billion annual investment in the state budget to help cities prevent and reduce homelessness and spur housing development. Targeted, ongoing funding is the only way cities can find community-based solutions that get our residents off the streets and keep them in their homes. California will never produce the number of homes needed with an increasingly state driven, by-right housing approval process. What is really needed is a sustainable state investment that matches the scale of this long-term crisis.
For these reasons, the City of Hawthorne respectfully opposes your measure, Sincerely,
Vontray Norris
City Manager
City of Hawthorne

SUBJECT:
Join League of California Cities in calling for a $3 Billion Annual Funding Stream in the State Budget to Assist Cities with Housing and Fund the $1 Billion owed to the Local Agencies for the Unreimbursed State’s Mandated Programs. (Reyes English) RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council Approve Sending a Letter to the State Legislatures to join League of California Cities in calling for a $3 Billion Annual Funding Stream in the State Budget to Assist Cities with Housing and For the State to Fund $1 Billion Owed to the Local Agencies for the Unreimbursed Mandated Programs.
DISCUSSION:
As the State budget development process moves forward, League of California Cities asks that the City join in demanding the State to make a permanent funding stream of $3 billion annually to help cities with housing for Californians. The League also requests the City to join them in demanding the State to pay down its growing backlog of unreimbursed claims that total $1 billion owed to the local governments for state-mandated programs. As of October 2021, the City of Hawthorne’s share of the owed principal balance was $582,915. The City’s Finance Department is pursuing all owed reimbursement of the State mandated programs but the State must fund these claims in the budget to fully reimburse the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
